Judge denies preliminary injunction in data center lawsuit

A Greene County Circuit Judge has denied a legal request that would allow a developer to have his data center plans reviewed by Springfield city staff amid the city's moratorium on any data center applications. Springfield has had an administrative pause in place on all data center proposals since late June. NSI A.1 LLC, managed by Trent Overhue, filed a lawsuit in September against the city claiming the moratorium is invalid and, if found to be valid, does not apply to any ordinary preliminary activities for the project proposed as they are not part of any formal application process. Overhue, who is involved in a number of other data center proposals around the Ozarks, owns the property at 2900 S. National Ave. through the LLC. He has proposed a basement-level "high-performance computing data processing facility" in the larger of two buildings at the location. While the property is zoned for a planned development that allows "data processing services" under the use for Administrative and Professional Offices, differences emerged between Overhue's interpretation of what this would allow and the city's. On Friday, Nov. 6, Chad Mann, attorney representing NSI A1, argued for a preliminary injunction to force the city to open

Photo captures how one Shoshone family kept traditions in the Ozarks

Dan and Kathy DeLane, along with their daughters Concha and Rena (pictured in this 1981 photograph), ventured to the Ozarks from the Shoshone reservation in Wyoming with a dream, which was coming to fruition through a cattle farm in southern Dallas County, Missouri. Dan and Kathy made it important to keep Shoshone traditions central as they raised Concha and Rena in a majority Anglo-Saxon world. Much of the children’s day-to-day practice of keeping traditions alive showed up in how they wore their hair, the adornments on their clothing, and how they balanced traditional cultural practices with learning about their new culture in the Ozarks. This image is part of a much larger collection of historically rich photographs from the News-Leader’s photo archive. Each week, the Springfield-Greene County Library will tap into this vast collection and present an interesting image “from the darkroom" and share its history. This image is presented in partnership between the Springfield-Greene County Library District and the Springfield News-Leader.

New refrigerated truck will help feed southwest Missouri families

Ozarks Food Harvest has added a refrigerated truck to expand its ability to deliver fresh and perishable food to people facing hunger across southwest Missouri. The Springfield-based Feeding America food bank received the vehicle through a collaboration between the Darden Restaurants Inc. Foundation and Penske, according to a community announcement. The truck will serve Ozarks Food Harvest's 28-county service area. Food bank drivers travel more than 265,000 miles each year to pick up and deliver food. The new truck will transport fresh produce, dairy products and other perishable foods and joins a fleet of 15 semi-trucks, three box trucks and four cargo vans. Ozarks Food Harvest said that the truck arrives as its existing fleet ages and maintenance costs increase. "As food and fuel costs remain high in southwest Missouri, we're working hard to meet the increased demand in our 28-county service area," President and CEO Bart Brown said in the announcement. "Thanks to this new refrigerated truck, we can expand access to fresh, nutritious food for families facing hunger."

Nixa soccer gets revenge over bogey team Glendale in district championship

SPRINGFIELD — Revenge is a dish best served cold. On a chilly evening, Nixa soccer bested Glendale 1-0 behind a late goal to lift the Class 4 district championship on Monday, Nov. 9. This was Nixa’s first victory over Glendale since 2023, after losing five straight games. It’s a moment that many of the seniors have been dreaming of, especially goalkeeper Jackson Smith. “It feels great, senior year, we haven’t beat them since freshman year,” Smith said. “For us to come out and win a district championship, it feels good for our city, our team. I’m thrilled.” Smith had a stellar game, but when a hero was needed, Gavin Shaw rose to the occasion. Cross country: Gloria Deo's Caroline Fields wins Class 1 state title with sister by her side With three minutes remaining, Shaw received the ball on the left wing. The senior danced on the ball a few times, juking out Glendale’s defense. He drove towards the byline before firing a cross. The ball ricocheted off of a Glendale defender and snuck through the goal at the near post. “It’s definitely a top momentum of my life,” Shaw said. “Scoring a game-winner in the district championship is always
