State Farm Student Athlete of the week

We are so excited we were able to travel to Midway today and award this week’s State Farm student athlete of the week Senior, Baylee Russ. Baylee is a Middle Hitter for Midway volleyball and was nominated by her Coach CJ Chamberlin. Coach Chamberlin stated “Baylee helped lead our team to a district championship, sectional win, and an appearance in quarterfinals. 

She is a leader for our team in so many ways and a great role model for students and athletes in our school. Baylee was named MaxPreps/AVCA volleyball player of the week the last week in October for the state of Missouri! During that week Baylee had 77 kills, 92 digs, 4 aces and 4 total blocks.”

When we asked Baylee what is something she has learned from playing sports that she can apply later in life she stated “I have learned to constantly work hard and always be preparing for what is next. And that working as a team is better than trying to do it alone.” When we asked her what it takes to be a successful athlete she stated “you have to have a mindset of a champion. You have to give everything you have 100%of the time and work together with your team. There is no “I” in team.”

We also asked her what it takes to be a leader and she stated “this is a responsibility I take very seriously. You have to be energetic and focus on doing your job all the time whether that’s on the court or in the classroom. You have to lead by example.” Baylee hopes to continue playing volleyball in college and she plans on majoring in elementary education. It was such a pleasure meeting Baylee and we wish her the best of luck in the future!

Congratulations on the Ellett Memorial Hospital November Employee of the Month Cynthia Bowen!

She has had to cover two jobs off and on a lot this last year, but always has a smile on her face. She always greets you with a smile and is so friendly that you can’t help but smile back.

Cynthia is a positive influence on people. She offers assistance in several different ways to help people’s visits here go better. She works hard to make sure she is getting her regular duties done as well and is very efficient.

No matter what the situation may be she doesn’t complain and will do whatever is necessary, often having to adjust her hours to cover when another staff in business office is out. Cynthia is always willing to lend a hand. She learned her duties quickly and isn’t afraid to ask questions.

She just wants to do the very best she can for our facility. Her positive and cheer attitude radiates and is so nice to be around. Cynthia truly deserves to be Employee of the Month for her dedication to our facility and to the patients.

She will do whatever she can to make sure a visit here is the best experience. Cynthia is amazing and great to work with and we are lucky and blessed to have her at Ellett. Once again Congrats Cynthia!

On Thursday, November 4, 2021, the Pettis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office formally charged Roberts with one count of promoting child pornography and three counts of possession of child pornography. 

The investigation by the Division of Drug and Crime Control is ongoing. Roberts remains in custody at the Pettis County Jail, with a bond of $150,000. The Patrol was assisted by the Sedalia Police Department.
