Beaufort County Schools announces Teacher of the year
BEAUFORT COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) — Ashley Jones, a 6th grade social studies and science teacher at Bath Elementary School, has been named Beaufort County Schools Teacher of the Year. She says teaching has always been her passion. 'My mom was a teacher, so I feel like teaching has always been in my bones. I spent a lot of time in her classroom through the years—helping her prep her classroom and, after school, getting it ready for the next day. So I just grew up with teaching around me,' said Ashley Jones, Beaufort County Teacher of the Year. Ms. Jones was born and raised in Beaufort County and wanted to return to teach in the community where she grew up. 'I had so many wonderful educators growing up, and I knew how they impacted my life. Just being able to do the same for kids in our community—who will hopefully come back and impact our community in the future—is incredibly meaningful,' Jones said. She said it's an honor to be named Beaufort County Teacher of the Year and hopes to make a difference. 'It gives me an opportunity to model what good teaching is all about. Hopefully, it will also be a platform to advocate for education policy at the state and federal levels—how we can continue to improve education in North Carolina and across our country,' Jones said.

Mobile MU hospital simulation stops in Joplin to provide specialized training
JOPIN, Mo. — Staff at a local hospital is getting a high-tech chance to train for a range of deadly diagnoses – before a patient's life is at stake. 'An amazing opportunity that MU brought to us free of charge to train our employees on maybe some scenarios that they don't always get to see, and give them the opportunity to do it in a simulation lab work with their teammates, their coworkers, and really address some maybe patient issues in a safe environment,' said Ashley Jones, Freeman Prof. Dev. Dir. It's a mobile training lab from the MU School of Medicine. Grant funding gives them the chance to travel the state, offering very specialized training. 'So one of the ones they're doing is a gunshot wound. So they can put in blood pressures and all of the vitals in there, and then the team can come together and assess, how are you going to treat, troubleshoot, and really look at all those components in almost looks like a real world environment,' said Jones. Through scenarios ranging from a sedation overdose to postpartum the simulated patient can be an adult or a baby. 'The infant is kind of the one thing that everyone's been interesting because we don't see it all the time. It is so lifelike that it is it's very odd to see that, you know, this machine, but yeah, it looks like a baby is crying, and you can see it heart beating, and those kinds of things.' Small groups work with the simulations – most often Freeman nurses. 'Some respiratory therapists came. Also some of the physicians have come, which is great, because they can come in and they're working side by side with these nurses and respiratory therapists, and they need to all know what everyone's doing,' said Hibes, It's an opportunity to experience potentially life threatening situations – and find a better path forward before a patient's life is on the line. Mobile MU hospital simulation stops in Joplin to provide specialized training Freeman Health System celebrates National Nurses Week dedication Healthcare workers advocate mental health awareness in May Freeman Safe Sitter program trains middle schoolers in CPR and first aid skills Medical Focus: Stroke signs and symptoms 'Maybe there's some scenario, a part of that scenario, that they can change up a little bit to maybe fit what they are used to experiencing, or have they had an issue before, and they want to now readdress it, and they give them a chance to pre brief, and let's talk about it, go through the scenario and then debrief what went right, what went wrong, so that they do see that they'll be able to maybe address it better.'

Star greenlit to drill WA gold play ahead of toll treatment decision
Star Minerals has secured government approval to fire up the rigs at its 45,000-ounce Tumblegum South project 40km south of Meekatharra in WA. The 3000-metre reverse circulation drilling program is slated to kick off in early June, dependent on rig availability and has set the stage for a high-impact drill campaign to upgrade confidence in the existing gold resource and potentially even extend it. The company will use the infill drilling to target shallow inferred resources within the bounds of its scoping study-defined pit shell. By tightening the drill spacing from 25m x 25m down to 12.5m x 10m, Star aims to convert much of the current inferred resource into the higher confidence indicated category ahead of a decision to produce millions in quick cashflow by toll treating the ore. 'Drilling will target inferred resources aiming to increase the resource confidence from Inferred to Indicated in the shallow areas.' Star Minerals managing director Ashley Jones The drill bit will also plunge about a third of the metres into testing out potential extensions to the deposit where recent airborne magnetic surveys lit up an area immediately to the northwest of the existing mineralisation. Coupled with a previous 120-metre-deep hole, which intersected grade in the same spot, the data is hinting at a promising array of parallel structures. If confirmed, a new mineralised zone could supercharge the project's economics. Drill rig contracts are being finalised and site preparation is already underway. Meanwhile, the mine plan approvals on the already mining-permitted lease are progressing. The drill program follows on the heels of Star's updated scoping study conducted by Perth-based Orelogy Consulting and released in May last year, which outlined a compelling case for near-term mining at Tumblegum South – and that was at much lower gold prices to today's spot price. Last year's study revealed the project could deliver between 11,800 and 15,900 ounces of gold over an 18-month campaign via toll treating, based on a gold price of $3000 to $3800 an ounce. With pre-mining costs forecast at just $700,000 to $1.5 million, the study projected tidy surplus cash flows ranging from $9.4 million up to $19.6 million, depending on various processing options. Whilst no new study has yet been done at the new uber-high gold price the new $5000 price an ounce—a whopping 31 per cent above the study's top-end price assumption, will no doubt provide a nice upside kicker that could be worth millions to Star.
