Drivers have hit the Ferncliff Cemetery gate over 70 times in eight years—causing more than $100,000 in damage.
Shelley Baker, the cemetery’s executive director, is working with the city engineer to find a lasting fix.

County officials have approved buying four parcels near I-70 in south Springfield for a new jail and public safety building.
