Three 4-H members from northwest Missouri are selected to participate in the National 4-H Congress.

Missouri's extension service announced the selection of Karlea Bolser of Saline County, Alyssa Harris of Livingston County, and Piper Payne of DeKalb County.

They are among 20 Missouri 4-H members traveling to Atlanta in November to connect with peers from across the country while participating in workshops, service-learning projects and tours of the city’s most notable landmarks.

Missouri 4-H members must submit applications and participate in interviews in Columbia. A news release says the selections recognizes outstanding achievement in leadership, citizenship, and community involvement.

Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
