PBJHS Math Teacher Starts Fishing Club
October 17th 2018 by Dee Loflin
A first year Poplar Bluff Junior High faculty member has gone above and beyond his job duties of teaching math by encouraging students to take up the pastime of angling.
Brett Russell chaperoned 14 students on the first of a series of fishing expeditions on Thursday, Oct. 11, in a pond owned by New Covenant Fellowship Church off Kanell Boulevard.
Sponsored by the Missouri Department of Conservation, the PBJHS Fishing Club plans to meet on a weekly basis after school as weather permits.
“There’s been a decline in license sales nationally,” said Salvador Mondragon, MDC fisheries management biologist based in Cape Girardeau. “We just want to get them outdoors and exposed to nature.”
Mondragon, along with angler education assistant Caleb Jansen, will be facilitating four of the lessons covering: equipment, casting and proper fish handling; how to tie a knot and bait a hook; five common Missouri fish – their anatomy, habitat and life cycle; and fishing with lures/fishing regulations.
The MDC offers the two-hour classes for free through the Discover Nature – Fishing program. A renewable $500 education grant will be made available to the club to finance a classroom set of rods, bait purchased locally and travel expenses for fishing trips planned, according to the facilitators.
The club initially started at the end of last school year when Russell, then a student teacher for Chris Wheat, made a pact with outgoing eighth grader Tysen Huddleston. Russell promised to take the students fishing if Tysen improved his grades.
“He worked super hard and I gave my word to the kiddo,” recalled Russell, noting: “I’m passionate about fishing.”
Several years ago, Russell became temporarily disabled due to what was later diagnosed as a rare form of arthritis, he explained. When his mobility eventually returned with treatment, he developed a new appreciation for maintaining an active lifestyle, he continued.
Before suffering from the condition, Russell admitted that all he wanted to do with his time was play video games. He referred to his misfortunate as “The Monkey’s Paw,” a famous short story about interfering with fate.
“We live in such a beautiful place; you can drive 5 or 10 minutes in any direction and get in some quality fishing,” Russell commented. “I just want them to raise their eyes from their phones, get interested in the environment and enjoy the days they live in the world, whether through fishing or whatever.”

“Alice in Wonderland” to be performed at Three Rivers College
October 16th 2018 by Dee Loflin
The classic play “Alice in Wonderland” to be performed at Three Rivers College
Center Stage, the Three Rivers College community theater group, will perform “Alice in Wonderland” November 1 – 3 at 7 p.m. and November 4 at 2 p.m. at the Tinnin Fine Arts Center. This play tells the topsy-turvy tale of Alice, who must find her way through a maze of incredible and suspenseful adventures to discover a thief and save the White Rabbit.
“’Alice in Wonderland’ is a classic enjoyed by people of all ages,” said Robert Abney, Director of the Tinnin Fine Arts Center. “We’re excited to bring this timeless performance to the community, and we have a great cast bringing it to life.” Six actors from “The Little Mermaid” are returning in this show, and two cast members have participated in The Dance Studio. “Alice in Wonderland” features a diverse group of cast members ranging in ages from 11 to 60.
A Three Rivers College alumni, Carlie Dillinger is excited to direct her first production for Center Stage. Dillinger has directed various productions such as “Little Shop of Horrors,” “Cheaper by the Dozen,” and various one-act productions for the education system. She also has participated in various productions with Willard Community Theatre, Missouri State University, and Center Stage. She holds a degree in Psychology from Central Methodist University, and a degree from Missouri State University in Speech/Theatre Education. She currently teaches fifth grade Reading and Social Studies at Poplar Bluff Middle School. Dillinger also serves as the Speech and Debate Coach for Poplar Bluff High School.
“As a director, you hope that you will not only cast the right people for your show, but people who are willing to work as an ensemble,” said Dillinger. “Thankfully the cast of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ consists of actors who not only care about their role in the play but the entire show. They work as a team, encourage others, and dig deep within the script to bring the production alive. Every actor brings his or her own individuality to the characters. The audience should be excited to see their interpretations of this classic piece.”
Tickets are $10 each and are available online at trcc.edu/tinnin and in person at the Poplar Bluff Chamber of Commerce and the Three Rivers Student Accounts Office. Tickets will be sold at the door, if any remain.
Three Rivers College is committed to contributing to the quality of life in Southeast Missouri with quality, affordable higher education opportunities and community services that support and encourage the economic, civic, and cultural vitality of the region.
