The Andrew County Health Department was recently awarded a grant of more than $397,000 to implement a WIC Community Innovation and Outreach Project, or WIC CIAO.

The project is supported by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, and it aims to build outreach strategies to increase participation in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children.

Jayne White, Director of Clinical Operations at the Andrew County Health Department, says Andrew County was one of 36 agencies selected for this grant in a pool of 150 applicants.

"We worked through the application and process and dreamed big with some of the projects in partnering with some other entities for some services within our program and ultimately applied," White said. "We were lucky enough to be one of the 36 that (USDA) chose."

White says this project will expand partnerships and use census data to reach families in areas where there’s likely a higher percentage of eligible WIC families in Andrew County.

"It allows us to work on retention and acquiring new WIC clients through innovative ideas," she explained. "Typically, our funding that comes through that program is very restrictive about what we can do with it. This gives us an opportunity to come up with innovative ideas and projects and different avenues to be able to serve the WIC population."

Brenda Johnson, the nutrition coordinator at the Andrew County Health Department, says WIC provides essential goods and services to pregnant women, new mothers, postpartum women and young children.

"It would provide formula for babies if that's what they need," Johnson said. "Moms can be on (WIC) pregnant and postpartum. Kids can be on it from ages 1-5."

Andrew County Health will use community feedback to inform their outreach strategies, along with a Peer-to-Peer referral program, targeted digital marketing campaigns and events like Mothering Mondays and Walk-in Wednesdays to try and reach more WIC-eligible families.

White says trying these things can have a widespread impact on families everywhere.

"If we can increase our participation, we can continue the program even farther into the future," White said. "You have to be able to try those things. This will be a good way for us to try some things. Ultimately, we hope we find some things that work and then we can share them with other partners across the nation."

Data shows that only 50% of all eligible individuals nationwide participate in WIC. White says this project aims to change that locally by expanding partnerships with community organizations to implement outreach efforts.

"We're trying to make our WIC program available and accessible to people when they need it," White said. "They can still work and do all of those things they need to do as a busy family, but also receive the services they need to be able to grow a strong, healthy family as well."

Clean Fuels Alliance America and 75 industry stakeholders delivered a letter to President Joe Biden on Thursday. 

The letter urges the president to ensure that the Environmental Protection Agency substantially increases the biomass-based diesel and advanced biofuels volumes in the Renewable Fuel Standards for 2023, 2024 and 2025. 

The letter points out that EPA's proposed volumes fall far below the industry's current production and, if finalized, would undermine investments in the industry's expansion. 

EPA is expected to finalize the RFS volumes by June 14. The letter states, "The low volumes threaten the ability of new market sectors, like marine and aviation, to decarbonize in the near term." 

Clean Fuels was joined in the letter by several national industry associations and their members, including American Soybean Association, 22 state soybean associations, Diesel Technology Forum, National Energy and Fuels Institute, National Oilseed Processors Association, North American Renderers Association, and U.S. Canola Association.

A new study from the University of California – Riverside shows that the E15 ethanol blend provides notable emissions reductions compared to California's regular reformulated gasoline. 

The Renewable Fuels Association hailed the report as proof of the value of E15 for The Golden State, which has yet to allow the E15 blend to be used. 

RFA President and CEO Geoff Cooper says, “This new study shows what we've been arguing all along--that E15 offers emissions benefits that would help meet environmental goals in California.” 

According to the study, emissions of total hydrocarbons, non-methane hydrocarbons, and carbon monoxide all showed either marginally or statistically significant reductions for E15 compared to regular California gasoline. 

In addition, particulate matter and solid particle number emissions dropped substantially with E15, and E15 showed lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions savings when compared to E10. Nitrogen oxide emissions when using E15 showed marginal reductions in many cases, but the changes in Nitrogen oxide emissions were not statistically significant.

Nebraska Farm Bureau is working with SpaceX’s Starlink to expand broadband access in the state. 

Mark McHargue, Nebraska Farm Bureau president, says, “We are excited to work with Starlink to deliver high speed broadband to rural areas in Nebraska that are underserved.” 

Starlink is engineered and operated by SpaceX.&nbsp;&nbsp;Starlink delivers high-speed, low-latency broadband internet capable of streaming, online gaming, video calls, and more to users worldwide. 

While the carriers, providers, and telecoms continue to grapple with federal and state monies to get quality broadband to rural areas of the country, Starlink and NEFB thought it was important to take this broadband service issue into our own hands and deliver the connectivity to our farm, ranch, and rural members in a way that avoids the regulatory hoops and the high cost of getting fiber to the "last mile.” 

Nebraska Farm Bureau members can take advantage of this new member benefit by visiting the Nebraska Farm Bureau website at nefb.org.

Two new simulators at the Missouri Western Law Enforcement Academy will help future law enforcement officers learn in new and advanced ways.  

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held in a new training suite at the law enforcement academy for a MILO simulator, which teaches decision making, and a new driving simulator.  

Incoming Academy Commander Lonnie Bishop says the MILO simulator will help simulate different scenarios such as a suspect complying or not complying. 

"We can introduce the cadet to that and it's going to be in an environment that's controlled," Bishop tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. "And let's say they go through this first scenario, and they don't do so well, we can go back, and we can play back and say here you could have made a different choice and talk about it and help them learn from it, not just throw them in a simulator and say hey pass this or not." 

Bishop uses the new driving simulator as an example of how these simulators will enhance the learning experience. 

"I can take this out and I can show a student how to drive on here and introduce different aspects of that, like bad weather like we showed you earlier, and then what I can do is I can get the student and say hey listen your cars going to act this way, or maybe when you park and approach a suspect you should park this way," Bishop explains. "We can take that and then we can say ok remember in the simulator you did this; ok we're going to put you in a car and now we want you to try it out."

Bishop says the driving simulator also hooks up to the new MILO simulator, giving cadets the idea of arriving on scene at a crime and having to make decisions.  

Bishop says it's not common to have these simulators at academies 

"There are other academies with them, as far as in the state of Missouri I don't know how many there are, I just know that we're one of the only ones that has the driving simulator and the MILO range as well," Bishop says.  

And Bishop can only see these simulator experiences expanding 

"I think that we're going to expand, I think that we're going to be able to provide other things for other organizations of the community," Bishop says. 

Bishop says the simulators were a part of former Commander the late Joseph King's vision to enhance the learning opportunities for cadets at the academy.

The city of St. Joseph is holding a series of public meetings over the next week to give the general public more information on the RiverBluff Gateway Project.

The city received a $2.5 million grant from the Missouri Department of Economic Development for this project, which will focus on four areas of the city - the Southside centered on King Hill Avenue, the 6th Street Corridor, Downtown and Northside centered on St. Joseph Avenue.

City spokesperson Mary Robertson says this project will encompass several different things.

"Doing some streetscape improvements, doing open space improvements, facades and really an opportunity to have funds available (to residents) to do those repairs they'd like to do, but may not have the funding to do," she explained."

The first public meeting about this project comes up Thursday night at 6 p.m. at Washington Park Library.

The next meeting is Tuesday, June 13th at the Carnegie Library. The third and final meeting is Wednesday, June 14th at the Downtown Library. All of these meetings start at 6 p.m.

Robertson says these meetings are open for anyone to come and learn about the Gateway Project.

"The meetings are available for residents to come and learn more about the project and the scope of the grant application," she said. "How to move forward if they're interested in doing so. The residents have the opportunity to take advantage of this funding to do some cleanup and improvements to the properties in the particular areas."

The Gateway Project itself, Robertson says, is an opportunity to improve this area with more visitors coming to the newly opened River Bluff Trails Park.

"This is an opportunity for us to improve that corridor and to take advantage of those visitors coming in," she said, "and improve the appearance and vitality of St. Joseph is the end goal of what we're doing with this project."

A Marine veteran viewed St. Joseph from the Missouri River as
she paddled the 3,300 miles from the headwaters of the Missouri to the Gulf of
Mexico.

Amanda Hoenes of Branson wrote about the adventure in her
book:&nbsp; Digging Deeper:&nbsp; USMC Veteran Solo Paddles the Missouri and
Mississippi Rivers.

Hoenes says the trip took her by St. Joseph as the trees began
to turn colors.

“Just the beauty was such a surprise and St. Joe in particular,”
Hoenes tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. “It started to get into fall right about
that time. So, the weather was cooling and then you wake up to those morning sunrises
with mist over the river.”

Hoenes says she learned a lot about endurance as well as
overcoming obstacles during the 175 days on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.
Her trek took 185 days total, but she paused for 10 days to watch her beloved
Kansas City Chiefs play against the Green Bay Packers.

Hoenes launched from Three Forks, Montana July 11th
of 2021 in her family’s 17’ red Coleman canoe, which she describes as a tank. A
love for adventure books as a youth fuel her wanderlust. Getting laid off from
corporate America gave the push needed to take on her bucket list challenge.

Hoenes underwent eight months of research and planning, but
that failed to prepare her for the taxing journey. Though she had packages of dehydrated
and freeze-dried food delivered to strategic stops along the way, Hoenes soon
found out this canoe trip took a bigger toll on her physically than anticipated,
especially when she encountered hard winds on the six reservoirs upstream on
the Missouri River. Hoenes says she lost 23 pounds, forcing her to stock up on
peanut butter, granola, and other supplemental nourishment.

Hoenes says the only time she considered quitting was during
those long, rough days on the reservoirs, especially the Fort Peck Reservoir in
Montana that took 10 days to cross. Once she cleared the reservoirs and hit the
flow of the Missouri River again south of Yankton, South Dakota, Hoenes settled
into a more predictable journey taking her passed Omaha and by St. Joseph.

Hoenes says she took in the view of St. Joseph from the
Missouri River, observing the beauty, lost in the isolation along the way.

“Just very remote along the river,” according to Hoenes. “You
can be going through a full city and still feel like you’re in wilderness as
you paddle through it. That was one of the coolest experiences for me.”

This trip of endurance and other experiences come together in
the lessons Hoenes attempts to teach youth who attend her True Path Adventures
camp in southern Missouri, where she says young people learn life skills not
often taught in their high-tech world.

“Like communication, critical thinking, situational awareness,
resourcefulness and I know catching youth early and really just opening their
eyes to the risk of getting lost in the world of technology and opening their
eyes to what’s possible around it and outside of that.”

True Path Adventures features seven miles of trails on the
family ranch near Bull Shoals Lake.

Hoenes says she learned a lot about herself during her canoe
trip with her trusty dog on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, but also
learned how many good people are ready and willing to help someone on a daring
adventure.

New galleries of art are coming to the Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art, showing off the works of women artists throughout the centuries. &nbsp;

(Women) Artists from the Collection 1800 thru 2022 will open tomorrow evening at the museum. &nbsp;

Executive Director Eric Fuson says the curated exhibit was designed to show that through the centuries women artists have been too often left behind. &nbsp;

"For the longest time they weren't as included as men, they were meant to do like crafts like sewing and things like that," Fuson explains to host of the KFEQ Hotline Barry Birr. "But a lot of times those artists, those women &nbsp;

Fuson says research shows that within collections about 16% of works are from women, and at the Albrecht they are a little closer to 20%. &nbsp;

The opening of the exhibit will be on Friday from 4 to 7 pm. The exhibit will run until September 17th.&nbsp;

Also being offered at the museum will be an opportunity where aspiring artists can learn in a relaxed environment during an event at the Albrecht Kemper Museum of Art this summer. &nbsp;

Drink and Draw will return this summer, giving people the chance to sip a drink and learn to draw.&nbsp;

Executive Director Eric Fuson says there will be a live model for these aspiring artists to draw, but also some skilled artists to help guide those that are learning. &nbsp;

"You'll have people who haven't drawn much, and they'll come in and say I'm a little intimidated because they draw really well, but you know they didn't start that way either," Fuson says. "And they're the nicest group of people that will say if you want some pointers, I'll give you some, or here just hold your pencil like that, or anything like that they're great to work with it's just a really fun evening."&nbsp;

The event is open to people 18 and older to draw and costs $5 at the door to get in. The first event will be held on June 14th.&nbsp;

Suspect in NE Kansas jail faces charges in 3 new cases

USDA’s Economic Research Service reports frozen wholesale turkey breast prices climbed abruptly in response to the 2022 avian flu outbreak. 

Before the outbreak started in February 2022, both frozen whole bird and wholesale turkey breast prices had been increasing gradually. 

Cumulative losses because of avian flu surpassed seven million turkeys, and breast prices peaked at $2.98 per pound in the week ending October 7, 2022. 

Prices remained elevated for the remainder of the year. Once reports of new outbreaks slowed in mid-December 2022, whole turkey hen prices leveled off. 

At the same time, breast prices declined, averaging $2.34 per pound in the week ending April 28, 2023. This is $0.32 higher than a similar week in 2022, but down $0.64 from the peak price last year. 

Divergence in prices between frozen turkey breast meat and whole bird prices is, in part, explained by seasonality. Demand for whole birds is much more seasonal than wholesale demand for turkey breast meat.

The National Pork Producers Council hosted a policy panel this week at the 2023 World Pork Expo. 

NPPC board officers and experts discussed the pork industry’s current priorities vital to protecting producers’ livelihoods and ensuring pork production remains a pillar of the U.S. economy. 

NPPC President Scott Hays says, “Advocating for reasonable public policy, expanding exports, protecting our animals from foreign animal diseases and defending efforts to restrict what we do all help keep our farms successful.” 

Preparing for and preventing foreign animal diseases, addressing the agricultural labor shortage, and increasing pork exports are some of the top public-policy issues for pork producers. NPPC CEO Bryan Humphreys commented that recent policy successes and disappointments will impact producers for years to come. 

With the Supreme Court’s decision upholding California Proposition 12, another NPPC priority is working with the California Department of Food and Agriculture to ensure a smooth transition for farmers and consumers who want to continue buying pork at California grocery stores and restaurants.

A local group of square dancers is lacing up their dancing shoes to teach lessons in St. Joseph to a new generation. &nbsp;

The Savannah Sashayers have been around for nearly 43 years, dancing and enjoying social gatherings every Sunday in Savannah. &nbsp;

Member Angie Houk says one of the greatest things about square dancing is it's unlike any other dancing&nbsp;

"When you do a tango or anything, you have to know what those steps are, the greatest thing about square dancing is you have a caller that is telling you what moves to do, you honestly don't have to think about it all you have to do is listen," Houk tells host of the KFEQ Hotline Barry Birr. "And he tells you what to do and it just takes all of the stress out of it."&nbsp;

The group will be providing lessons in St. Joseph and accepting new dancers through June 20th. &nbsp;

Houk says the group accepts anyone and everyone. &nbsp;

"We welcome kids, bring your kids, your daughters, sons, your nieces' nephews," Houk says. &nbsp;

"Singles, you don't have to have a partner, it is a great way to meet handsome men or beautiful girls, women of any age" fellow member Nancy Savely.&nbsp;

The lessons will be at Brookdale Church on Tuesdays.&nbsp; The first is free, the next ones cost five dollars. &nbsp;

Houk says it doesn't take much to square dance, simply saying that if you can walk, you can square dance&nbsp;

"People say you know my hips couldn't take it, my knees couldn't take it, if you can walk out your house and go get your mail, you can square dance," Houk points out.&nbsp;
