Inside of the Missouri Theater in Columbia, Missouri the best talent in all of professional wrestling squares off to be the future of the business and in Missouri State Wrestling you won't see anything like it. We are... The Alternative. Inside of our walls, Tradition Lives On.

Missouri State Wrestling Season 1 is now available on the Prospect Wrestling Network!

http://www.cityofhopemush.net/index.php/MSW

OOC: Missouri State Wrestling MSW was a small, independent company founded by Danny Stevenson located in Columbia, MO. The venue that MSW's program took place is the Kansas City Repertory Theater in Kansas City, MO. MSW moved to this location at Unstoppable #10 to be closer to the Emerald Academy, the official training facility of MSW as well as up and coming stars run by MSW on-camera staff, Drew Stevenson. MSW's "Unstoppable" events formerly took place in the Missouri Theater located at the University of Missouri in Columbia, MO -- about two hours west of Kansas City. The company was founded by, and run by Danny Stevenson, a legend in wrestling in the state of Missouri. Sadly, it went defunct in 2016. You can relive all of the classic memories of it here on the Prospect Wrestling Network! For those that want to get involved with PWN/LONE, page or @mail Terri or Alison.

Angela Miller in Critical Condition after Crash                       11:10:57
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Angela Miller, who shot to superstardom as the frontwoman of the band Overdrive 243 is in critical condition after what authorities are describing as one of the most destructive car accidents they'd ever seen, totaling her Bugatti Chiron Supercar on Monday morning along the Prospect Highway in the early twilight hours.

	Friends we spoke with say the musician is known for partying hard, and often, having been in and out of rehab just before her rise to fame, and had most recently completed a short North American tour to promote her new album, Falling: The Near Dark.

	It is believed after swerving off the road at excessive speeds, Miss Miller was thrown clear of the vehicle early on as it began to come apart, flipping end over end multiple times before bursting into flames some distance away.

	It's a miracle the star was found alive, and she was rushed to Prospect Memorial Hospital in critical condition, unconscious.

	We will have further information as this story develops.

Raid on Crown Museum                                                  20:41:14
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROSPECT - At 1:00pm, United States Customs and Border Protection raided the Crown Museum in the Arts District today. Nancy Portray, a spokesperson for the District Attorney's office stated, "We have reason to believe that Lukas Bradshaw was operating an illegal antiquities trade from within the museum. The US Customs along with the Southern District of California is freezing all assets and confiscating all records, transactions and all electronic media at Crown Museum. The investigation into the matter is on going. Further details will be forth coming when available."
	Many law enforcement officers were sent entering the building and exiting with computers and paper records from the property. None of the exhibits have left the property, as it is unclear just which pieces of art are deemed 'illegal' by the Customs Department. 
	Sam Hoy, a member of the legal team for the Crown and its owners state, "Our clients had no knowledge at all of any alleged illegal activities at the property and believe this will all turn out to be a false charge created by a disgruntled employee." Hoy goes on to state, "Mister Lukas Bradshaw was a troubled young man with many personal demons. We are deeply saddened for his family, and will co-orperate fully tracking and returning any items proven to be illegally traded, to their rightful owners."

Press Release: Local Death                                            21:49:09
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	In a rare press release published by the On Wings of Angel's, this reporter has the sad duty to inform you of the following loss of a valued member of our community, who sadly recently suffered significant loss. 

	"It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you that our Founder and Leader, Dr. Jolene Addison, passed away. The cause of death was sadly due to broken heart syndrome. 

	Jolene was a courageous and dedicated public servant, and will be missed by many - well beyond those who have benefited from her ambitious initiatives here at On Wings of Angel's Foundation. She also quietly supported First Resort Urgent Care, A New Leash on Life and the Museum of Making Music throughout the community, and was one of the youngest Surgeons at Prospect Memorial, supporting fundraisers to raise funds for the children's ward. 

	In all that she did, her heart was always for helping those less fortunate and making sure she could give all she could to make lives better. Sadly the stress of the recent accusations against her were just to much for her to bear. She will be missed tremendously at the On Wings of Angel's Foundation and hope to honor her dream of continuing to support the community as she would have. 

	Dr. Jolene Addison was the last surviving member of the Addison Family. As per the wishes of Dr. Addison, her body is to be cremated and ashes spread by her friends along the Prospect Home where she lived. in a private ceremony. 

	Thank you for your continued support of our work, and the vision of Dr. Jolene Addison, any questions should be directed at Jasmine Montgomery, who has been named as the executor of Dr. Addison's estate according to the Law firm of Jordan and Sanderson."

Earthquakes felt in Prospect County                                   18:10:54
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BREAKING NEWS: Reports are starting to come in that another jolt was felt at 5:10 p.m all over Prospect County. We will report when more is known. Preliminary information is unclear of the epicenter, or magnitude. 

Original Story:
	A series of four earthquakes rattled Anza, California, in Riverside County Wednesday morning. No damage was reported, but Californians as far away as Northern Prospect County reported feeling weak to light shaking from the quakes. The U.S. Geological Survey listed four earthquakes in the area within a span of about 17 minutes:

		Magnitude 3.1 at 10:43 a.m.
		Magnitude 2.2 at 10:49 a.m.
		Magnitude 3.6 at 10:56 a.m.
		Magnitude 2.5 at 11 a.m.

	It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when a large earthquake is bound to hit Prospect County. According to the scientists at CalTech, Southern Californians should be prepared with a disaster plan and emergency kits for whenever the unthinkable strikes. To help get ready for when the "Big One" hits, the Great ShakeOut has been practiced annually up and down the state of California. It is always worth the reminder that when an earthquake occurs: drop, cover and hold on. 

	"Earthquakes Warning Ca, or EWC, is the country’s first publicly available, statewide warning system that could give California residents crucial seconds to take cover before you feel shaking," according to Earthquakes.CA.Gov. Californians can sign up for the MyQuake App to receive a test earthquake warning. The free app is available in all major app stores. Wireless no-cost text messages for emergency situations alerts are also available.

	In 2020, a Prospect Earthquake Scenario revealed how devastating it would be if a magnitude 6.9 earthquake were to strike along the Forest Canyon Fault. The Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, which simulated the disaster, said they studied the Forest Canyon fault because it runs along the urban core of Prospect. The study found that about 120,000 buildings would be damaged in such an event. Researchers found that coastal communities from La Jolla to Coronado could be cut off from nearly all utility services and infrastructures if a major 6.9-magnitude earthquake were to happen.

	Every year approximately 500 earthquakes occur in the state of California that are large enough to be felt. Prospect County, in comparison to other southern California areas, has sparse seismicity. However, since 1984, earthquake activity in Prospect County has doubled over that of the preceding 50 years.

	Ongoing field and laboratory studies suggest the largest credible earthquake predicted for the coastal and metropolitan areas is a M7.2 on the Forest Canyon Fault and a M7.6 from either the El Cajon Fault or the Vista Fault in the north and east county areas. It should also be noted that some faults are hidden beneath unperturbed sediments (blind fault) and only discovered after an earthquake occurs.
