Glendale's Joelle Rover shows maturity beyond his years after viral moment seen by millions

SPRINGFIELD — The country was introduced to the Southside Showdown on Oct. 8. Glendale defeated Kickapoo 35-6, but the game was never the story. Glendale wide receiver Joelle Rover was grabbed by referee Kevin Elmer following a touchdown. Millions saw the incident on social media. Influential accounts, including former NFL quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III, shared the video. “It’s just like football. Bad plays happen, bad stuff happens,” Rover said. “You just need to move on from it and go to the next play, next opportunity. From that instance, a lot of opportunities have opened up to me.” While MSHSAA has suspended Elmer, Rover’s reaction and maturity were the most striking. Rover never complained and didn’t react negatively in the moment. He said he’s quite proud of it, telling the News-Leader last week.

No priority violations at most Greene Co. kitchens inspected recently

Out of 51 routine inspections, more than 75% of the kitchens the Springfield-Greene County Health Department visited had no priority violations. Across the 39 inspections that had no priority violations, 31 had no violations at all. Issues found during inspections fall into either priority or non-priority violations. Priority violations impact the safety of the food, such as cross-contamination between raw and ready-to-eat food, improper food temperature and poor personal hygiene and employee health. Multiple priority violations can lead to an establishment being shut down. Non-priority violations alone do not directly affect food safety, such as dirty floors, sticky tabletops or outside trash cans not being covered. More: Frequent reader of Greene County food inspections? Here's what inspectors want you to know Food inspections take place one to three times a year, depending on the type of food served, the population served, difficulty of food preparation and past history. Restaurants preparing food from raw ingredients are inspected more often "than convenience stores that serve only non-potentially hazardous foods, such as popcorn and soda," according to the Springfield-Greene County Health Department . Each report identifies what was happening at the establishment at that time. Consumers who want to know whether a violation

Developer asks court to force Springfield to review data center plans

A developer is asking the court to allow its proposal for a data center to follow the ordinary review process at the city despite Springfield's administrative delay on such projects. After a hearing Friday, Nov. 6, the judge took the matter of a preliminary injunction under advisement, promising to rule on the matter as quickly as possible. 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.
