Former Mizzou player Cody Schrader impressing San Francisco 49ers
SUMMARY: Cody Sherer, a standout from Missouri, was not drafted in the NFL despite 257 players being selected among 32 teams. Shortly after the draft, he received a $240,000 contract from the San Francisco 49ers. During mini and training camps, Sherer has impressed coaches and fellow players with his hard work, intelligence, and consistent performance. His story mirrors that of Division One coaches who overlooked him in high school. With a solid running back already in the roster, Sherer may not need to play every down, but his development could lead to a significant role on the team.

Jackson County lawmakers override Frank White's vetoes
SUMMARY: The Jackson County Legislature unanimously overrode three vetoes by County Executive Frank White Jr., including his veto delaying a recall election now set for August 26. Legislator Megan Smith abstained, expressing concerns about disenfranchising military and overseas voters due to federal absentee ballot timing requirements. Chair DaRon McGee defended the Legislature’s timeline, blaming White for delays. The election boards have sued over the legality of the recall election, with court hearings upcoming. Additionally, the Legislature overrode vetoes on measures to let voters decide if the county assessor should be elected and extended the property tax credit deadline for seniors. White urges a November election to ensure legality and integrity.

Ozarks weather whiplash in 2025 explained
SUMMARY: Spring and summer 2025 in the Ozarks have seen extreme weather swings, including multiple severe wind and tornado events, especially near Springfield. Since May 1, over 40% of days had rain, often heavy, with hot, muggy dry days between. Notable events include deadly EF-3 tornadoes in March and April, significant windstorms in April and June, and record-breaking rainfall in April and May. This active pattern is linked to a disrupted Polar Vortex from sudden stratospheric warming, an amplified and slow jet stream, a La Niña to neutral ENSO transition, and elevated Gulf of Mexico water temperatures increasing atmospheric moisture. These factors combined caused the unusual weather volatility of 2025.
