| Today's Feature
Citizens/Police
Cooperation.
The Carthage Police Department
contacted two hundred forty-two residences this
spring as part of the department’s annual
spring trash/cleanup enforcement emphasis. Of
those contacted, Police Chief Dennis Veach
reports that all but thirty-eight of the issues
addressed have been resolved. The remaining
thirty-eight violations continue to be monitored.
"We are appreciative of
the cooperation of the vast majority of citizens
contacted who have helped make Carthage a better
place to live.
Each of the last three years
the Department has divided the City into four
quadrants with each of the four Patrol Shifts
taking responsibility for one quadrant. Owners
and/or occupants were contacted and advised of
violations and encouraged to resolve the matters
as needed.
During the exercise, thirty-two
vehicles with violations were either moved or
brought into compliance with ordinances. One
hundred and twenty six issues of trash/garbage
were resolved and forty six issues of improper
storage of items were resolved.

Wizard
of Oz at Stone’s Throw.
news release
Stone’s Throw Dinner
Theatre presents a main stage production of
"The Wizard of Oz," June 20, 21, 22, 23
and June 27, 28, 29, 30 with dinner being served
at 6:30 p.m. and at 1:00 p.m. on Sundays.
The Wizard of Oz, directed by
Robert Moritz of Carl Junction, involves a cast
of 24 talented actors, with musicians Clint Newby
and David Wallace.
Members of the cast include:
Lainie Baker of Webb City as Dorothy; Brad
Hartley of Carthage as the Scarecrow; Rick Schwab
of Carthage as TheTinman; Eddie McGuire of Joplin
as the Cowardly Lion; Kendra Dearing of Joplin as
The Wicked Witch of the West; Christina Quay of
Carthage as the Sorceress of the North.
Other cast members include:
Lydia McKinney, Carole Lenger, Julia Freitas,
Tori Mitchell all of Joplin. Cheyann Palone of
Alba. Amanda Shelton of Carl Junction. Elizabeth
Flanigan, Grace Wallace, Paul Folbre, Shelby
Bates, Katy Schwab, Brittany Golden, Emma
Lambeth, Caleb Ewing, Conner Cooper, Jerry
Cooper, Lincoln Cooper, Maggie Reed all of
Carthage.
While staying true to the
spirit of L. Frank Baum’s book, The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and keeping the original
music from the 1939 film, the dialogue is
slightly different from the movie but offers the
same plot. Moritz’s goal is to respect and
honor the original piece as people remember it,
but at the same time create a play that stands on
its own terms, so the audience will not be
inclined to compare every image to the film.
But don’t think that
Moritz’s attempt to bring something new to
this traditional piece will water it down in the
least. All of the dazzling spectacles, vibrant
colors, and memorable characters and songs are
here to bring this fantastic journey to life.
Aside from the terrific music and plot, this
piece is incredibly technically ambitious. It
includes some stunning special effects to delight
audiences of all ages.
Tickets are $17 for adults and
$16 for seniors. All performances are at
Stone’s Throw Theatre, 796 South Stone Lane,
just off of Old Route 66, Carthage, MO.
