The bus was traveling on Jack- son Road during the morning bus run, according to district Superintendent Travis Powell, when it came across a stopped vehicle blocking the road. The bus driver was forced to make a three-point turn at Crestview Road, which Powell said wasn’t plowed at the time, and backed part way into the ditch. “The ditch is steep right there, and the bus slid off the road and tilted slightly away from the road, toward the ditch,” Powell Tom LaVenture / Daily Globe said in an email. “It was a slow BILL NYMAN, maintenance manager for the Pat O’Donnell Civic Center, is in the process of making ice for the skating surface that is motion accident and there was expected to be ready on Thursday.

  • @UCMMULES • @Mules Baseball • #Teamucm BASEBALL 1 Crane Stadium / Tompkins Field Has Served As Host Site for Numerous MIAA and Regional Tournaments
    @UCMMULES • @Mules_Baseball • #teamUCM BASEBALL 1 Crane Stadium / Tompkins Field has served as host site for numerous MIAA and Regional Tournaments. In the spring of 1998 Central Missouri enjoyed the completion of an outstanding baseball facility to go with its already outstanding baseball program – James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field. A $1.2 million construction project, funded primarily by Crane, added a locker room and coaches’ offices for the Mules, an umpires dressing room, new dugouts, permanent seats, a concession stand, a press box and lights to the already existing playing field. In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. Following that in 2006, permanent seatback chairs were installed for the fans. All of this was funded by Crane. In the summer of 2013, the stadium received another upgrade with a new grass playing surface being installed. In the fall of 2015, a $1.1 million project to outfit the stadium with a sythentic turf playing surface was funded primarily by Crane. The project, which includes synthetic turf from AstroTurf, was completed prior to the Mules’ 2016 home-opener On January 21, 1998, Central Missouri’s Board of Governors approved the naming of the facility, formerly known as Mules’ Field, in honor of Crane and Tompkins. Official dedication ceremonies were held on May 2, 1998. The facility was showcased in the October 1998 issue of Athletics Administration magazine. The first night game played under the new lights took place on March 25, 1998, with the Mules beating Benedictine College 21-6.
