The St. Joseph City Council approved another emergency ordinance to help the Southside as clean up and recovery efforts from flooding last month continue.

St. Joseph Mayor Bill McMurray says the first emergency ordinance was for $22,000 for dumpsters.

“We had about 33 dumpsters and we quickly went through the 22,000,” McMurray tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline. “Tons and tons of stuff taken out to the landfill.”

McMurray says they approved another $30,000 this week, which is being taken out of the Cell Phone Fund.

Reports in the past few weeks from the Red Cross have said over 200 homes were impacted by the flooding, with about 130 of those seriously damaged and one completely destroyed.&nbsp;

“The Baptist Disaster Relief and Team Rubicon and others are mucking out the houses, pulling the stuff out of the basement, putting it in the dumpsters, yanking out the drywall. Then it’s all going to have to be put back, redone,” McMurray says. “We’re going to have a long recovery period from this.”

McMurray says he’s sent a letter to Governor Mike Parson, talked to Senator Roy Blunt’s office and most of the local legislators to see if there’s any opportunity for federal or state funds to help with recovery.&nbsp;

“Everybody’s trying to help as much as they can, but this just galls me that we’re not big enough, apparently, for this to be a federal disaster or a state disaster, so that cuts off the funding,” McMurray says. “It’s pretty big if it’s your house that’s flooded, but apparently in total, collectively, it’s not considered big enough.”

McMurray says help is coming from local sources and there’s been several volunteer teams helping with various recovery efforts.

“There are volunteers coming in from other places, I’ve talked to some college kids who were just helping out. Not only our local volunteers, not only our city employees and county employees, but also all these other volunteers are coming in, this is a group effort,” McMurray says. “Unfortunately, we’re not getting any help to speak of from state or fed, so this is going to be a local effort and I think we’re up to it. So far indications are very good that we’re going to get through this together.”

The United Way of Greater St. Joseph is helping get information out on how volunteers can help with flood recovery and about resources for residents affected by the flooding.

United Way President Kylee Strough says this week, shower and laundry trailers were set up at Lake Contrary School.

“We know that for the last week or two some people have been having to use laundromats or take cold showers because their water heater was destroyed through the flood, things like that. So we hope this helps some families with their recovery,” Strough says.

Residents can visit the trailers between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. or 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. to shower and drop their laundry off anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Strough says they've also been hearing from a lot of people wanting to help flood victims, but are not sure how. Strough says there are multiple ways to volunteer from mucking out houses to serving food.

“There’s something for every skill level and every energy level and if volunteering is not a way that fits into your schedule to help, but you still want to do something, we encourage donations to Interserv and their Flood Relief Fund,” Strough says. “The dollars that go to Interserv are being used in a variety of ways to help individuals with those needs that may be unmet when we collaborate with all the rest of the resources in the community.”

Volunteer opportunities include house cleanups, which are being coordinated by Team Rubicon. Clean up starts after a volunteer briefing every morning at 7:30 a.m. at the Civic Arena. Volunteers can enter at the 3rd Street door. They must be at least 18 years old and must wear boots and long pants.

Anyone wanting to help with&nbsp;home rebuilding and repairing can contact St. Joseph Habitat for Humanity at 816-279-2552, ext. 4 to register as a volunteer.

To volunteer to make and/or deliver lunch to residents and volunteers in the flooded zone, contact InterServ at (816) 238-4511, ext. 234 to sign up.

Volunteer this Saturday at The Keys Christian Fellowship, Foursquare Church as food, cleaning supplies, building materials and more are distributed. Message <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thekeyscf/">The Keys Christian Fellowship on Facebook</a> to register as a volunteer.

United Way coordinates help for flood victims, information on volunteering

Mosaic Life Care has now tested more than 19,000 area
residents for the coronavirus with slightly more than 900 testing positive for
COVID-19.

Mosaic reports 10 COVID-19 patients hospitalized in St. Joseph
on Thursday

St. Joseph Mosaic President Dr. Davin Turner says very few
have had to be placed in the ICU unit and fewer still have had to be placed on
ventilators.

“Since COVID has hit, we did have that early phase where we
had more of those patients ending up on ventilators, but the percentage of
those patients still was very low,” Turner tells reporters. “And now we’re
seeing that number even lower, which is reassuring that we’re not seeing the
respiratory complications as severe.”

The official statistics released by Mosaic Thursday morning disclose
Mosaic has tested 19,449 area residents in its network, which includes
Maryville and Albany. Mosaic reports 901 tested positive with 10 hospitalized
in St. Joseph as of Thursday morning. Mosaic is awaiting results from 211
tests.

Turner says the average hospital stay for a COVID patient is
11 days, but it varies widely.

“But we have had some folks in our hospital for over 40 days
with COVID and some even longer than that,” according to Turner. “So, there’s
some folks who stay in an extended period of time. Most are staying five to
seven days and being able to go home.”

The most COVID-19 patients hospitalized at one time totaled 21.

When the coronavirus pandemic became increasingly serious,
elective surgeries at Mosaic were rescheduled as the hospitals and clinics
prepared to battle COVID-19. Mosaic began building a COVID-19 ward. It
increased testing at hospital entrances and took other steps to prevent a
coronavirus spread in the various facilities.

The drop in income and rise in expenses took a toll on the bottom
line.

“Initially, right after March 17th, we were
generating $7 million less in revenue on a weekly basis and that is a rough
number,” Turner says.

Tuner says he is pleased with how Mosaic has handled the
pandemic so far, but adds a note of caution. Mosaic is keeping a close eye on
developments in Kansas City, which has seen an increase in cases.

Buchanan County Sheriff Bill Puett has, in effect, won re-election in the Republican primary.

“It’s a great validation of the work that we’re doing for the community,” Puett tells St. Joseph Post. “It’s great when the community provides overwhelming support… that’s an outstanding feeling for the 100 plus men and women of the sheriff’s office serving the community.”

Puett's challenger, St. Joseph Police Sergeant Keith Dudley, says he feels good about his first time running for office.

"Had a lot of things going against me, you had the COVID, you had the flooding, you had civil unrest going on in the country," Dudley says. "There wasn’t a lot of opportunities for a lot of fundraising, but I did have a lot of great people supporting me. Not too bad against an incumbent."

Puett says campaigning during a pandemic was a different experience.&nbsp;

"It really has had an impact on being able to actually reach and contact people,” Puett says. “Not a lot of events, most of them were cancelled so it was really an odd year for candidates."

Puett says he plans to continue to work hard for the community and make it a better and safer place.

"We’re going to continue to engage with the community, listen to what their needs are and wants are and continue to try to do things better and work harder and continue doing the things we need to do to serve the community and do it with respect."

No Democrat filed for sheriff. Puett faces no opposition this November for his second term.

Students soon return to college campuses with university
administrators scrambling to ensure a safe environment in a time of pandemic.

Missouri Western State University interim President Elizabeth
Kennedy points out the university starts the fall semester early this year,
hoping to wrap up classes prior to Thanksgiving. Kennedy says plans have
centered on academics, housing, and safety.

“From the very beginning, we have worked with our faculty to
determine how best to deliver our educational content to meet the students’ needs
and maintain the academic rigor that we need to,” Kennedy tells an audience
gathered on the Northwest Missouri State University campus. “So, for example,
faculty have shared their preferences in terms of how they would like to
present their courses, whether online, hybrid, some model therein, or face to
face.”

Both Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph and
Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville have plans in place to keep
faculty, staff, and students safe during the upcoming fall semester.

Northwest Missouri President John Jasinski says college administrators
are having to digest a lot of data to decide how best to handle things.

“There will not be one measure that says yes, we’ll do this or,
no, we won’t do that,” Jasingski says. “It will really be a set of indicators
collectively, daily, that will allow us to understand where we’re at today,
where we’ve been, but where we’re at today and where we’re headed tomorrow.”

Kennedy says much work had gone into preparing the St. Joseph
campus for the return of students.

“I’m very cautiously optimistic,” Kennedy says. “We are living
in a world where we open up our eyes every day and say, what’s new? And my
second thought is I hope it’s good, because it is a very challenging
environment.”

Missouri Western begins its semester in about two weeks, which
is early, starting on the 17th. &nbsp;The university plans to wrap up fall classes
before Thanksgiving.

Northwest Missouri begins classes August 19th.

CALDWELL COUNTY—One person died in an accident just before 2:30p.m. Tuesday in Caldwell County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2002 Kenworth semi driven by Stanley W. Parker, 39, Oak Ridge, was eastbound on U.S. 36 one mile east of Cameron.

The semi lost the dual tires on the number 3 axel. The tires traveled across the median onto the westbound lanes and struck a westbound 1986 Ford Mustang driven by Jerry L. Graham, 72, Hamilton, head-on. The Mustang then traveled off the road and down an embankment.

Cameron EMS transported Graham to Cameron Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. Parker was not injured. Both drivers were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Latest on the Missouri primary election (all times local):

Republican Rep. Sam Graves will get a chance at an 11th term in Congress after defeating a challenger in Tuesday’s GOP primary.

Graves, 56, of Tarkio, defeated Christopher Ryan in the primary election.

The 6th District covers the width of rural northern Missouri, from the Kansas border to the Illinois border.

Graves is a member of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the House Committee on Armed Services. He has been a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump.

The district has moved very conservative in recent years and Graves will be heavily favored in November against the winner of the five-person Democratic primary.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Latest on Kansas' primary election (all times local):

Kansas’ state treasurer has unseated freshman Rep. Steve Watkins in the Republican primary with Watkins facing felony criminal charges.

Treasurer Jake LaTurner’s victory in Tuesday’s election came only three weeks after the district attorney in Watkins’ home of Shawnee County filed the charges.

Watkins is accused of voting illegally in a Topeka City Council race in November 2019 and trying to mislead a sheriff’s detective investigating Watkins’ listing of a UPS Inc. store postal box as his residence on a state voter registration form. Watkins has called the criminal charges “bogus” but LaTurner argued that the criminal case made Watkins a vulnerable general election candidate.

Watkins is a former Army officer and military contractor who barely won his seat in 2018 as a political novice. LaTurner is a former state senator who has served as treasurer since 2017.

Amanda Adkins has won the Republican primary in Kansas’ 3rd District.

The 45-year-old Overland Park woman is vice president of strategic growth at the medical records firm Cerner Corporation and former chairwoman of the Kanss Republican Party.

Adkins defeated Adrienne Vallejo Foster, Sara Hart Weir, Mike Beehler, and Tom Love and will face first-term incumbent Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids in the November general election.

Adkins stressed her support for President Donald Trump. Her campaign got a boost from a political action committee financed largely by her father. Davids received national attention as a Native American and openly LGBTQ candidate in 2018 and she’s already raised more than $3.8 million for her re-election campaign.

Buchanan County Jail Activity (7/29-8/04/20)

The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce recently launched an online job resource for job hunters and for employers looking to hire.

Kristi Bailey with the Chamber says the Uncommon Life program and website was created before the pandemic as a talent recruitment program. Bailey says now its focus is to help residents experiencing unemployment due to COVID-19.

“We’ve had a lot of our current residents find themselves unemployed so we’ve had to change directions," Bailey says. "So on our new webpage we’ve added not only the job listings we’ve had before for both large and small employers, but now we have a resume bank.”

Bailey says anyone looking for a job can find local open positions or post their own resume for employers to find. Bailey adds there's other resources available on the online job center.

“Lots of good information about unemployment workshops, how to file for unemployment, how to do some online learning through this program called Coursera, links to different educational places where people can find education while they’re unemployed.”

"So on our new webpage we’ve added not only the job listings we’ve had before for both large and small employers, but now we have a resume bank.”Bailey says anyone looking for a job can find local open positions or post their own resume for employers to find.

St. Joseph Chamber launches online job center

Buchanan County voters have a rare opportunity today:&nbsp; they can vote to end a tax.

The Buchanan County Commission has placed a question on the
ballot today that would end a quarter-cent capital improvement sales tax.

Presiding County Commissioner Lee Sawyer says the tax has
already generated the nearly $11 million needed for the south St. Joseph levee
project and the county promised it would remove the tax if it hit that amount.

“That’s what happened, which is a good situation. It hit early,”
Sawyer tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline. “So, in order to remove a
capital improvement tax, it needs to go back in front of the voters.”

The tax is slated to end at the end of this year, but since it
has raised the necessary funds, it can be removed early.

levee which protects southern St. Joseph’s industrial area as well as Rosecrans
Memorial Airport.Sawyer expects the project to be concluded by mid to late
2022.“Assuming there’s no sort catches or whatever, I think that should
be pretty achievable,” Sawyer says. “We’ve continued to make good progress. The
whole area that’s down by the Stockyards Expressway and down there is pretty
much finished. That’s exciting, because that really helps those businesses down
there to be protected.”Sawyer says the project has run into a few snags, mainly with
the railroads on using a mechanical devise, often called a swing gate, which
would allow a section near the levee to be cut off and protected from flooding quicker
than using sandbags or other emergency efforts. Sawyer expects the issues to be
resolved.
