Nixa's Naugle records top-10 finish at Boys golf State Championship
SPRINGFIELD–Noah Naugle didn't get the result he wanted at the 2025 Missouri High School Boys Golf State Championship, but he did finish in the top-10, thanks to a sizzling final round. Naugle opened the second and final day of the tourhament with a eye-popping front nine score of -4. He got tripped up with a pair of bogeys shortly after making the turn, but did come home in three-under after making a birdie on each of his final three holes. His final round of 67 (-5) gave him a two-day total of 139, which was good enough for a 7th place finish in the individual bracket. It was Naugle's first top-10 finish in the event, and his second year in-a-row medaling at state. He is still the only boys golfer to place inside the top-15 at the state tournament. The Missouri State commit accepted his top-10 finish with grace, but noted he came to Rivercut Golf Course to win the event, so he didn't achieve his objective. When asked why he chose to commit to Missouri State, he mentioned staying close to home and having a chance to make an immediate impact. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Door-to-door transportation service fills transit gap in rural St. Mary's
Darlene Naugle had difficulties getting around the small community of Port Bickerton on Nova Scotia's Eastern Shore when she moved to area from Alberta three years ago to care for her sick daughter. The retiree was unable to run errands, like getting groceries, without a vehicle. That changed for Naugle last October when a community transportation system called Smart-Go was introduced in the Municipality of the District of St. Mary's. "I felt like I died and went to heaven because of the fact that I'm so isolated, I don't drive and I don't know anyone here," said Naugle. 'There was a big need for it' The transportation program is run by the St. Mary's Association for Rural Transit, a non-profit dedicated to providing door-to-door, accessible service for the municipality's 2,300 residents. The federal government said last September it was providing $185,000 for the program, while the province gave $800,000 to help buy vehicles and subsidize fares for low-income individuals. Riders pay a $5 base fee plus 75 cents a kilometre. They are picked up at their home in one of two vans and taken where they need to go, including destinations outside the municipality like Halifax and Antigonish. "There's a lot of seniors there. People were having difficulty getting to medical appointments," said Heather Kreffer, executive director of Smart-Go. "There was a big need for it, and the community knew." Kreffer said there are more than a dozen people who use the service regularly, and that ridership is growing every month. Similar transportation services already exist in other rural municipalities, including East Hants, St. Margaret's Bay and Victoria County. Doug Wetmore of It's More Than Buses, a Halifax-based transit advocacy group, said expanding transit systems across the province starts with services like Smart-Go. "You build up ridership from there and then expand the service," he said. Expanding options Wetmore hopes the province will eventually fill any transit gaps across province and that rural areas can be connected to larger services, like Halifax Transit. "Making sure that those options are available is incredibly important in order to make sure that ... all of our communities are accessible within one another," said Wetmore. Naugle said not only has the service helped her stay connected to her community, but its employees have become like family. "I've never been in a situation like this in my life, being so isolated," she said. "But my experience is there needs to be more [transit] like it and people like them."

Centre County gives nursing home $900,000 in funding, more potentially on the way
CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) – Centre County officials awarded a local nursing home with close to $1 million in funding, with more potentially on the way. The commissioners gave Centre Care a $900,000 grant at their recent Feb. 11 meeting. Officials say there is a 'crisis' with Medicaid reimbursement, and that many care facilities are not getting the funding they need. Nursing Home Administrator Andrew Naugle has also seen the trend. 'There's lots of staffing challenges,' Naugle said. 'There's a lot of new staffing regulations that come out that are limiting the amount of residents that facilities can take.' Bedford County hotel, property owners voice opinions on hotel tax proposal The grant comes from the remaining money in the American Rescue Fund. After this, Chair Mark Higgins said the county will have no more money to give to help the broader issue. He is calling for 'residents, businesses and organizations' to also donate to Centre Care so it can stay as a nonprofit. As for where the money will go, Naugle gave a brief glimpse. He says costs are rising for healthcare, so 'healthcare items' could be in the budget. They primarily want the funding to go towards their Neighbors Supporting Neighbors fund, which helps residents who struggle to pay for services. The funding is crucial to keeping the facility open. Naugle says there could be closures in the future if they do not get enough funding from 'the community and from individuals like the commissioners.' However, he says they are currently not operating at a deficit. According to Naugle, if Centre Care hits 'certain milestones,' there will be another $500,000 coming from the county in July. For other nonprofits wanting to get some money from the county, Higgins says the American Rescue Plan fund is empty, and the process would involve 'a lot of lawyers.'
