New playground equipment at Mozingo Lake designed to accommodate children of all abilities could be in place by next spring.

That's after the Maryville city council at its October 26th meeting approved the city's match of $49,818.00. An equal amount is being given by the Maryville Host and Maryville Pride Lions Clubs. The combined local match results in getting a Lions Club International grant of $99,636.00.

Additionally, the council was told the playground manufacturer is giving a discount as a contribution to the project.

The new playground, which will replace outdated equipment adjacent to Mozingo's Lions Shelter, will establish an inclusive play environment designed to accommodate children of all abilities, including those with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities.

Installation is expected to be completed by next spring.

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.
