The St. Joseph Library is celebrating the week along with libraries across the nation. 

Director of the St. Joseph Public Library Mary Beth Revels says this year's theme "Welcome to the Library" is very fitting. 

"With a pandemic that everybody in the whole world has been dealing with over the last year, a lot of people have not been back into the library yet, so it's a great theme this year to say welcome to the library," Revels tells St. Joseph Post. 

Revels says National Library Week has been observed for quite some time. 

"National Library Week is just a national observance that is sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries all over the world each April," says Revels. "It first started in 1985 so it's been around for a lot of years." 

Revels says libraries are hidden gems in communities. 

"Everyone in the whole world is welcome to visit their public library and it's just been a way to promote libraries and say, 'Hey we're here. Come visit us. We would love to help you in whatever way that we can,'" says Revels.

National Library Week ends April 10th. Revels says to stop by the library to enter a contest and possibly win a prize. Anyone can enter to win at any of the four library branches.

St. Joseph school district voters decide today the fate of a $107
million bond issue that would drastically change the make-up of the school
district.

St. Joseph School Superintendent Doug Van Zyl says the money
will allow the district to buy the American Family Insurance building and
convert it into a new high school as well as make upgrades to other buildings.
Van Zyl says passage would allow the district to redirect money from buildings
to academics.

“How do we continue to attract and retain high quality
teachers?” Van Zyl asks while a guest on the KFEQ Hotline. “Because I’ll never
tell you that the building makes the difference in education. It’s the quality
of the person that you can put in front of our students on a daily basis.”

If approved, the American Family building would become the
second high school to go along with Central High School. Benton High School and
Lafayette High School would be converted into middle schools. Other schools
would undergo upgrades, such as air conditioning which Van Zyl says makes for a
better environment for teachers.

“It’s not always about pay,” Van Zyl says. “It’s also about how
do I feel going into my school? Do I feel like it’s 90 degrees in here or do I
feel like it’s a comfortable temperature for me to be able to work in? Those
may be small nuances, but I think that that also sends a message to our staff
and our students on how those things are done; if we’re trying to make decisions
that we believe are going to benefit them.”

We the People 3 Schools opposes the bond issue and, as the
name suggests, supports the three high school model.

A member of the group, Chris Prudden, says the school board
isn’t listening to the people.

“But what you’re not understanding is that’s not what the
community wants. That’s what you board members want,” Prudden says during his
visit on the KFEQ Hotline.

Prudden criticizes the school board for past actions.

“They haven’t spent the money properly in the past,” Prudden
claims. “These boundary lines are not what the people want, they aren’t
dividing it up and now they’re changing it to make it even worse if they have
the two-school thing. The schools are next to each other. The town is divided.”

The school board settled on the two high school model. Then,
American Family became a possibility.

Van Zyl says converting the American Family campus into a high
school makes a lot of sense.

“There is no perfect plan, but I do think to have that
structure there and have a group like American Family that is willing to have
that conversation with us I think is kind of a blessing when we were struggling
to try to find places that could probably hold what we’re looking to do,” Van
Zyl says.

Even the contractor chosen by the school board to convert the
American Family campus into a high school comes under criticism by We the
People.

Prudden says the board should not have hired McCown Gordon of
Kansas City to consult on the conversion.

“If you really want to save money on these schools, we could
probably start by hiring local contractors and not big, giant companies out of
Kansas City,” according to Prudden. “There’s plenty of big contracting companies
that are way cheaper and probably just as efficient in our local area. Once again,
you’re not supporting our community and that’s what the community sees.”

A school board member says no local contractors showed
interest.

It will take more than a simple majority for the bond issue to
pass. The issue must receive a 57.1% vote. If voters approve the bond issue, property
taxes will increase by $4.63 a month or $55.56 a year on every $100,000 of
assessed valuation.

A proposed $107 million bond issue from the St. Joseph School District that would turn Benton and Lafayette into middle schools and bring the construction of a new high school at the American Family Insurance regional headquarters has been a polarizing topic for months.

But even with the controversial issue on the ballot, Buchanan County officials expect a relatively low voter turnout Tuesday.

Buchanan County Clerk Mary Baack-Garvey expects turnout to be around 20 percent, which she says isn't too abnormal for an April election.

"I'm just kind of basing it on the turnout of absentee (ballots)," she said. "I'm going to stick with 20 percent."

Baack-Garvey does expect a higher percentage of people to vote in-person this time around, especially with COVID-19 numbers down locally.

"Now that the mask mandates have been lifted and people are getting vaccinated and more people are going out," she said. "They prefer to vote at their polling places, so definitely more in-person."

This election consists mostly of school board positions, with a handful of fire district, village board and city council elections across the county. The city of Gower has a mayoral decision on the ballot as well.

Voter turnout was quite high across the country in November 2020, and that includes Buchanan County, which saw a turnout of 69.4 percent. Baack-Gower understands people's interest in the presidential elections, but also stresses the importance of the smaller, more local elections, too.

"I try to stress to people how important local elections are," she said. "It kind of disappoints me to see low turnout in every April election, but that's just the history of how it's been here in Buchanan County."

Polls opened at six o'clock this morning and close at seven o'clock this evening.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol's Troop H is conducting a 'Hazardous Moving Operation' in both Andrew and Buchanan counties on Tuesday, as troopers look to crack down on dangerous driving habits in the area.

Jake Angle, the Public Information Officer for Troop H, says, the overall objective of this operation is simple.

"The goal is to target those violations out there on the roadway that contribute to traffic crashes," he said. "An emphasis on those drivers who are operating their motor vehicles in such a manner that it creates a hazard out there on the roadway and then to take enforcement action. Either through the issuance of a citation or a warning."

Angle says officers will enforce all traffic laws, but they continue to see an increase in distracted driving which is driven by heavy cellphone use by drivers behind the wheel.

"Distracted driving is, has and I'm sure will continue to be a concern and a problem on Missouri's roadways," Angle said. "I mean, anytime someone doesn't give 100 percent of their attention to the job of driving, bad things can happen. We all know the distraction of cellphones especially."

Troop H also conducted a couple of 'Click It or Ticket' Operations on March 19 and 25, covering Andrew, Buchanan, Daviess and DeKalb counties. These two operations led to a combined 36 citations, including nine seatbelt violations.

Troopers also issued a combined 77 warnings in those operations as well.

"We're not just looking for (seatbelt) violations," said Angle. "We're going to enforce all traffic laws when those officers are out there saturating those counties. With the Click It or Ticket Operation, it's the same goal - enforcement action and to bring awareness."

There is a national workforce shortage and St. Joseph is noticing it. 

Director of Work Force Development for the St. Joseph Chamber of commerce Kristie Arthur says there are many help wanted signs around town. 

"I just would encourage people that if they are high school or college-age to look for those opportunities and take advantage of what a great job market we have right now," Arthur tells St. Joseph Post. "When you see job openings that means places are getting busy and restaurants are opening back up."

Arthur says there just aren't enough people to fill the job needs of St. Joseph. 

"Baby Boomers are aging out. Gen X is not that far behind them," says Arthur. "The population in the Millenial and Zillenial group is just not as large as it was."

Arthur says St. Joseph is probably one of the highest paying communities in Missouri.

"We are the third-largest exporter as well so if you want to make a nice living in St. Joseph there is plenty of opportunity and I would recommend to anyone to check out some of those job openings."

Buchanan County Jail Activity (4/02-4/05/21)

HARRISON COUNTY—Two women from St. Joseph were injured in an accident just after 10a.m. Sunday in Harrison County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2010 Chrysler Sebring driven by Lois K. Sherman, 73, St. Joseph, was northbound on Interstate 35 five miles south of Bethany.

The car crossed the centerline and the driver overcorrected. The car skidded off the east side of the road and overturned onto its top.

NTA EMS transported Sherman and a passenger Pamela A Boeh, 74, St. Joseph, to Harrison County Community Hospital. Both were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the MSHP.

The City of St. Joseph could receive nearly $40 million from
the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief and economic stimulus plan pushed by
President Joe Biden and passed by Congress.

St. Joseph Mayor Bill McMurray says the Missouri Municipal League
has calculated what each Missouri city will receive. McMurray notes an
allocation that large will make a big impact on the city budget.

“In round numbers, the city budget is $160-to-170 million
total, including capital stuff,” McMurray says, pointing out the city council
has had to cut the city budget due to a drastic drop of revenue during the coronavirus
pandemic. He gives as an example the lack of events at the Missouri Theater and
the Civic Arena due to COVID-19 restrictions, “So, there’s some money there
that can be recouped.”

McMurray says the money is intended to offset tax revenue or user
fees lost due to the coronavirus pandemic. A portion of the money can be spent
on infrastructure, including sewers and broadband.

The money is expected to come over a two-year period; half
this year, the remainder next year.

McMurray says a portion of the money would offset losses in
gaming revenue.

“And that’s where we spend a lot of money on some of the
agencies in town like the Chamber (of Commerce) and others that request funding
from the city,” McMurray says. “So, with that being off, perhaps that’s an area
that those lost revenues can be replenished by some of this approximately $20
million that we should be receiving by summer.”

“And we can certainly put it to good use. But I was surprised
to say the least.”

St. Joseph stands to receive a substantial amount from $1.9 trillion package

St. Joseph residents are still able to practice open burning to get rid of yard waste through the end of April.

The St. Joseph Fire Department reminds residents that burning is only allowed between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. All fires must be in an upright container with a volume equal to and not exceeding 55 gallons.

Fires also have to be at least 15 feet away from any structures, need to be monitored at all times and firefighting material needs to be close by.

St. Joseph Fire Inspector Steve Henrichson says open burning can be banned for the day if there are unfavorable weather conditions, such as high winds.

"Like (Friday) with the high winds, the battalion chief, the on-duty chief or the St. Joseph Health Department can cancel it for the day," he said.

Henrichson says anyone who does open burning outside of permitted hours, or burns on a day when it's banned, will get a verbal warning the first time.

"Second time and beyond, they can have a police officer come over and issue a summons for court," he said. "Then, it's up to the judge how much he wants to fine you. It can be up to $250."

Northwest Missouri and eastern Kansas has experienced some dry and windy conditions the last several days. This has prompted a number of Red Flag Warnings and Special Weather Statements from the National Weather Service.

Henrichson says recent rains have dampened the outdoor fire danger some, but they'll still get called out from time-to-time.

"The rains we had in the last couple of weeks has really gotten the ground a lot more damp than it was," Henrichson said. "About a month ago, we had quite a few days where we spent half the day chasing a couple (grass fires), but the last couple weeks, it hasn't been too bad. We've had small ones."

St. Joseph Mayor Bill McMurray is glad the city hasn’t seen a
spike in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations since the city lifted its mask
mandate.

The city council voted 5-4 on March 22nd to end the
mandate. It needed six votes to overturn the mayor’s emergency order, but
McMurray says he had promised to follow the council’s will and end the order
prior to its April 15th expiration date if the council voted to do
so.

“Then with the decline in the number of cases and in the
number of hospitalizations, several on the council felt that we should
terminate the order sooner,” McMurray tells host Barry Birr on the KFEQ Hotline.
“So we did. It was a 5-to-4 vote. So, I followed the council’s wishes and
signed the termination order.”

McMurray says he is glad to see all of the COVID-19 numbers
locally, with the exception of one.

New coronavirus cases and deaths are down, dramatically.
Hospitalizations are down.

Still, McMurray worries about the trend of the pandemic in the
area.

“We do find ourselves in the midst of an increase around the
country and so I hope that it doesn’t happen here,” McMurray says. “I hope we
have maybe, I think the last time I looked, over the last several days we had,
like, maybe eight more cases and we only have two people in the hospital. So, I
mean, that’s good.”

St. Joseph health officials reported seven new cases of the
coronavirus on the 1st, bringing the Buchanan County total since the
pandemic began to 10,253. Buchanan County has recorded a total of 179
coronavirus-related deaths.

Mosaic Life Care reports only two patients in its system; both
being treated in St. Joseph.

The number that disappoints McMurray is the number of Buchanan
County residents who have received their COVID-19 vaccinations. He points out
the 14% county vaccination rate lags behind the state rate of 24%.

McMurray says masks may no longer be required by city
ordinance, but they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

“I think we’re going to have masks with us for maybe a longer
period of time and as to when this thing ends, I don’t know if it will ever end,”
McMurray says. “I mean the virus will probably hang around for a long time in
some variation.”

McMurray points out even though the city ended its mask
requirement, businesses and agencies can still require patrons wear masks.
