SIKESTON, MO (KFVS) - A benefit race for a 3-year-old will raise money and awareness for Rapid-onset Obesity with Hypothalamic dysfunction, Hypoventilation and Autonomic Dysregulation syndrome.

ROHHAD is a rare disease affecting about only 75 cases worldwide. The benefit race on Aug. 11 will be for 3-year-old Reagann Duenne from Charleston, Mo. Her mother and father are B.J. and Joe Duenne. It will start around 5 p.m. at the Sikeston Drag Strip, now called Dyno Dom's Sikeston Raceway.

Reagann's aunt says so far, the little girl is showing minimal signs, but did have a tumor removed recently that was neuroblastoma cancer; which puts her on the list for being watched for ROHHAD. She says friends and family want to help Reagann and all other families that have ROHHAD.

Richard McGill has been named the new interim Dean.

“I’m excited and honored to have the opportunity to serve in this role,” said McGill. “This is a field that’s familiar to me, but there’s still a lot for me to learn.

CAPE GIRARDEAU COUNTY, MO (KFVS) - A Jackson man received the Deer Steward 3 Award on June 28, making him the first in Missouri to achieve the milestone.

Allen Morris received the award. He is a member of the SEMO Trail of Tears Branch of Quality Deer Management Association which represents Bollinger, Cape Girardeau, Scott and surrounding counties.

Deer Steward Level III is the final step in Quality Deer Management Association’s Individual Deer Steward Certification Program. Unlike Levels I and II, Level III is not a course and no test is required. Level III is achieved through personal achievement and long-term service to the white-tailed deer resource and/or the QDMA. For many, Level III status will take years to qualify. Fortunately the effort needed to meet the qualifications will be replaced with pride and satisfaction upon attaining Level III status.
