They United Way of Greater St. Joseph wrapped up the public portion of their 2022 fundraising campaign on Thursday with a celebration at Spratt Stadium on the Missouri Western campus.

United Way Campaign Chair Scott Albers, president of Nor-Am Cold Storage, says the United Way, so far this year, has raised $2,303,695. He says none of this would be possible without the help of the volunteers and partners of United Way.

"They bring the juice," Albers said. "They're the ones who drive the fundraising and being able to make it happen for our partner agencies. You see the hard work they put in and it's amazing."

Albers says this is about three thousand dollars more than what was raised at this time a year ago.

United Way of St. Joseph kicked off its annual fundraising campaign on September 1, and they'll still be taking donations through the end of this year.

Albers says anyone can help this cause if they want by simply contacting the United Way office.

"Our organization is run off of volunteers and donations," he said. "So, please reach out to the United Way here in town. Whether that's to make a donation. We're still taking those in. Our campaign is not over. But, if you're looking for volunteer opportunities, we have lots of those that can fit about any skill set or schedule."

The money raised from the campaign goes toward the United Way's 17 partner agencies, initiatives and grants. More than 150 volunteers are involved in deciding how these dollars are allocated.

"Ninety-three percent of the money raised all stays with the United Way and our 17 partner agencies," Albers said. "So, it stays right in the community that you donate to."

The clocks will fall back to Central Standard time early Sunday morning and fire officials across Missouri and Kansas say this is the perfect time to change those smoke detector batteries. &nbsp;

Fire Inspector Steve Henrichson with the St. Joseph Fire Department says 'change your clock, change your batteries' is a nationwide effort.&nbsp;

"Making sure their batteries in smoke detectors are working properly, that's the single biggest thing you can do to keep your family safe," Henrichson tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post.&nbsp;

He says it's also a perfect time to begin checking those heating devices that are pulled out for the colder months&nbsp;

"Making sure to change your filters, make sure to have someone check it to make sure it's burning properly, and having a good Co2 detector in place just in case something does go wrong," Henrichson says."&nbsp;

Henrichson says you should also be sure to check the cords on your space heaters before plugging them in to prevent any home fires. &nbsp;

The Missouri State Fire Marshal says that a majority of home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke alarms. &nbsp;

Henrichson says that is due to people not taking care of their smoke detectors. &nbsp;

"Lack of maintenance is the biggest thing, people take the batteries out or the battery dies and they take them off the wall, those are the two biggest things," Henrichson explains.&nbsp;

'Change your clocks, change your batteries' is a nationwide effort encouraging everyone to change the batteries in their smoke alarms as they set their clocks back an hour.&nbsp; The time officially changes at 2am on Sunday.&nbsp;

Henrichson says this time of year you never know how many fires you will see&nbsp;

"This is the time of year that sometimes they pick up, sometimes they don't," Henrichson says. "There's years when we can go weeks without and then we'll have three or four in a day, luckily this year we've been doing pretty good."&nbsp;

Henrichson says so far recently the St. Joseph Fire Department has only worked two major fires.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Talk nationally might be whether the country is or isn’t
slipping into recession.

In St. Joseph, there are plenty of good jobs available.

That, according to St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce President
Natalie Redmond who says Buchanan County’s manufacturing base offers a wide
variety of jobs and maybe not the jobs you automatically think of when you
think of factory work.

“You have a lot of manufacturing jobs here in St. Joseph, but
they’re becoming more skilled manufacturing,” Redmon tells host Barry Birr on
the KFEQ Hotline. “So, a lot of times you’ll need that person who has an IT
background, because a lot of times you’re running robotics or welders, or mechanics.
Those are skilled jobs that tend to pay well.”

Redmond says technology has changed the jobs on the factory
floor, with many more skilled workers needed.

Redmond says the Chamber is always on the lookout for those
companies that fit St. Joseph. She gives as an example Cereal Ingredients of
Lawrence, now known as CII, which located in St. Joseph about a year ago.
Redmond says CII fits in well with the St. Joseph manufacturing base that
relies heavily on agriculture.

“That’s a great spot for us. Plus, they niche well with the
local businesses, so they already kind of have a synergy with other local
businesses that they do business with,” Redmond says. “So, that’s a great spot
of us.”

St. Joseph is the third largest exporter in Missouri, only
behind St. Louis and Kansas City.

Remond says the Chamber concentrates on small to medium
companies that can grow, restricted somewhat from going after large economic
development projects.

“So, we continue to strategize in the area of workforce and
talent recruitment and also looking at land development, because those are our
two problem areas that would make it difficult for us to be completive with a
mega project,” according to Redmond.

Redmond says that when the Chamber recruits, it plays off its
strengths.

“We’re realistic when we’re going after companies, because we
know our sweet spot,” Redmond says. “We know what we have the land available
for. We know what we have the talent market for.”

Redmond says St. Joseph needs to acquire more land and must
have a larger workforce to be able to attract large manufacturing projects.

Whether in recession or not, St. Joseph has 'Help Wanted' sign out

Volunteers are needed to help ring bells at the iconic red kettle stands this holiday as the Salvation Army raises money for the community. &nbsp;

Major Ronald Key with the Salvation Army in St. Joseph says for many people, the Red Kettle stands represent holiday spirit. &nbsp;

"I think without kettles Christmas would look different for a lot of people just because they're used to seeing that iconic kettle stand and a bell ringer standing there," Key tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. "So, I think that just kind of reminds them of the need, that's the time of the year that we have a need, that money is used here to help us to help other people when they walk in our door whether that's food, clothing, housing, whatever that may look like."&nbsp;

Red kettle stands will be at five different locations around St. Joseph starting November 11th and running through Christmas Eve. &nbsp;

"The more money we raise the more we have to help other people also," Key explains. "So, I think it's just important, you know, some people walk by and say, hey all I've got is change, you know that's ok change adds up, and I always say change makes change."&nbsp;

Volunteers will be out at Price Chopper, Walmart, Sam's Club, Hobby Lobby, and East Hills Mall every day through the drive, except for Sundays and Thanksgiving.&nbsp;

Key says the number of volunteers did start going back up last year, after being down during the pandemic. &nbsp;

"But there's still some individuals or groups that have not rung for us since COVID, so we're hoping that some of them return back to us or some of the groups instead of taking a longer period of time maybe they took an all day shift they were only taking a four-hour shift or whatever," Key says. "So, we're hoping that kind of opens back up now that COVID seems to be behind us."&nbsp;

Anyone interested in volunteering to help ring bells should contact the Salvation Army offices.&nbsp;

United Fiber, a subsidiary of United Electric
Cooperatives which began in Savannah, is now expanding into St. Joseph.

Niki Dalton with United Fiber says the company
will likely spend more than $50 million to offer high-speed fiber broadband to
36,000 homes in St. Joseph.

“We’ve had a lot of demand and we’ve built out a
lot of other communities,” Dalton tells KFEQ/St. Joseph Post. “We are ready to
take on this big of a project.”

United Fiber currently has 26,000 customers, both
residential and business in 40 communities.

Dalton says United Fiber had been moving into
fringes of the St. Joseph area for a while.

“Mind you, we already have Country Club built out,”
Dalton says. “We’ve already got some other areas built out, but all of those
areas that we are building will encompass around 36,000 homes.”

United Fiber will establish an office in St.
Joseph. It has offices in Savannah, Maryville, Smithville, Cameron, and
Excelsior Springs.

Dalton says United Fiber will add 10 jobs and
perhaps more in the future.

“It definitely could be more, because as we
expanded for the market and our customer growth increases, so will the need for
jobs,” according to Dalton. “So, I foresee probably customer service workers,
installers, maybe sales, more marketing.”

United Fiber began in Savannha in 2013, serving
members of the United Electric Cooperative, which has been operating in
northwest Missouri for more than 80 years. United Fiber offers high-speed
Internet, TV, and phone services. This project greatly expands the company. 

“It would be our largest project we’ve ever
undertaken,” Dalton says. “But we think we’re ready to do it, because we have
lots of experience with building out other communities and we’re ready to take
on something of that size.”

St. Joseph School District officials hope to bring back a popular summer school program.&nbsp;

Superintendent Gabe Edgar says he has completed contract negotiations with Catapult Learning to bring back the program which incentivizes student attendance.&nbsp;

Edgar says the experience working with Catapult over the last two years has been a positive one.&nbsp;

"It's been a good experience, it was a good experience for our kids, and a lot of them need that remediation time," Edgar tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr. "And they do a parent survey and a staff survey and one thing that I can tell you from the first year to the second year it was very, very well received from the staff and parent side, the parents are really supportive of what's going on."&nbsp;

The St. Joseph School Board is set to consider the contract in its meeting later this month.&nbsp;

Edgar says the program helps cut down on the amount of catch-up time that students usually go through in September. &nbsp;

"I think it fills that gap and obviously the last couple of years with the challenges that we had just keeping kids in school from a COVID standpoint that gap has grown, Edgar says. "And so, this is just a piece to try to put that back together."&nbsp;

Edgar says the program is offered to about 4-thousand students in the district and incentivizes attendance by giving students 100 dollars for perfect attendance throughout the program.&nbsp;

And that's not the only good news coming out of the St. Joseph School District according to Edgar&nbsp;

After four years of regression St. Joseph School District officials are seeing a growth in the number of enrolled students. &nbsp;

Edgar says the district has seen an increase of 27 students enrolled this school year. &nbsp;

Edgar says while 27 may not seem like a big number, it's a step in the right direction after constant regression over his five years in the district.&nbsp;

"And then we declined 186 kids to 2019, declined another 267 to 2020, declined another 166 to 2021, and then now we're up 27 students," Edgar says. "So, if you look at that trend, you know, we were an average of 200 kids going backwards."&nbsp;

Edgar says he's not certain what has attributed to the rise in enrollment, but is hopeful the number of students will continue to rise.&nbsp;

By MATT PIKE&nbsp;St. Joseph Post&nbsp;St. Joseph School District officials hope to bring back a popular summer school program.&nbsp;Superintendent Gabe Edgar says he has completed contract negotiations with Catapult Learning to bring back the program which incentivizes student attendance.&nbsp;Edgar says the experience working with Catapult over the last two years has been a positive one.&nbsp;"It's been a good experience, it was a good experience for our kids, and a lot of them need that remediation time," Edgar tells KFEQ Hotline host Barry Birr. "And they do a parent survey and a staff survey and one thing that I can tell you from the first year to the second year it was very, very well received from the staff and parent side, the parents are really supportive of what's going on."&nbsp;The St. Joseph School Board is set to consider the contract in its meeting later this month.&nbsp;Edgar says the program helps cut down on the amount of catch-up time that students usually go through in September. &nbsp;"I think it fills that gap and obviously the last couple of years with the challenges that we had just keeping kids in school from a COVID standpoint that gap has grown, Edgar says. "And so, this is just a piece to try to put that back together."&nbsp;Edgar says the program is offered to about 4-thousand students in the district and incentivizes attendance by giving students 100 dollars for perfect attendance throughout the program.&nbsp;And that's not the only good news coming out of the St. Joseph School District according to Edgar&nbsp;After four years of regression St. Joseph School District officials are seeing a growth in the number of enrolled students. &nbsp;Edgar says the district has seen an increase of 27 students enrolled this school year. &nbsp;Edgar says while 27 may not seem like a big number, it's a step in the right direction after constant regression over his five years in the district.&nbsp;"And then we declined 186 kids to 2019, declined another 267 to 2020, declined another 166 to 2021, and then now we're up 27 students," Edgar says. "So, if you look at that trend, you know, we were an average of 200 kids going backwards."&nbsp;Edgar says he's not certain what has attributed to the rise in enrollment, but is hopeful the number of students will continue to rise.&nbsp;

Hy-Vee stores will be closed on Thanksgiving Day

A new state representative will take the new 2nd
Missouri House District seat after the November 8th General
Election.

Political newcomer Mazzie Boyd of Hamilton upset incumbent
State Rep. Randy Railsback in the Republican primary. Boyd says she wants to
cut taxes.

“One of the things I’m really passionate about is reducing
personal property taxes. I think right now, especially in our economy, it is
dire that we start reducing taxes for people,” Boyd tells host Barry Birr on
the KFEQ Hotline. “Also, when it comes to home-based businesses with child care
facilities, we need to make sure that we’re reducing red tape.”

The legislature in special session did cut the top state
income tax rate from 5.3% to 4.95%. That top rate could drop lower if state
revenue meets certain thresholds.

That tax cut missed the mark, according to Democrat Lois
Pontius of Ridgeway.

“That only gives tax breaks to, well, the higher your income,
the better the tax break you get there,” Pontius tells Birr during a phone
interview on the KFEQ Hotline. “I want to do just the opposite. I want to give
the tax breaks to the lower income and the Middle Class and actually make the
highest income ones make up for that.”

In the legislation cutting the top income tax rate, the
legislature also eliminated the bottom rate. Missouri residents making less
than $13,000 will no longer pay state income taxes. Couples making less than
$26,000 will be exempt from the state income tax. Also, the first $1,000 earned
will no longer be taxed.

Boyd says Missouri needs to improve its schools.

“Good teachers deserve to be paid better. I think that is
something that is super important,” Boyd says. “I know a lot of great teachers
have felt like they haven’t been heard. But also, at the end of the day,
education is about students, it’s about trying to make sure that they have the
best education possible.”

As for Pontius, she says she’s worried about the direction of
state government under the control of Republicans.

“I’ve been concerned about the direction that Missouri has
been going the last several years,” Pontius says. “I remember a time when the Missouri
legislature spoke for the people. It was representing the people.”

Pontius also pushes back on the notion that Democrats want to
defund the police.

“Now, the Democrats have been accused of wanting to defund the
police,” Pontius says. “There were some individual protestors who were yelling,
‘Defund the police,’ but that’s not the stance of the Democrat Party.”

Pontius says Democrats just want police better trained.

“Law enforcement is one of the most important aspects to our
community, because they protect us. They protect your brothers, your sisters.
They are vital,” according to Boyd. “And it has been so upsetting to see how
disrespected they are, day in and day out, and how they aren’t getting paid
well.”

Boyd says Missouri needs to demonstrate its support of law enforcement.

Redistricting reshaped the 2nd state representative
district. It now covers Worth, Harrison, Grundy, Daviess, and Caldwell Counties,
making it one of the largest state representative districts in Missouri.

Newly shaped 2nd Missouri House District to get new representation

Two candidates for Buchanan County Presiding
Commissioner offer different visions for economic development.

Republican Scott Nelson says the county cannot
promise one new company or one new job.

“And if someone promises you that then I would
walk away, because you can’t promise it,” Nelson says during a recent candidate
forum sponsored by the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. “But what we can promise
is to look at every proposal and most proposals come through the Chamber. They have
an arm. They’re the kind of advertising role. But to look at those proposals
and see if they’re viable for the county.”

Democrat Andrew Gibson suggests support of the arts
and culture will promote economic growth.

“The other thing that I think you would bring up
is the fact that we would have to strengthen our school districts,” Gibson
tells the forum held at Stoney Creek Hotel and broadcast on KFEQ. “We have to look
at the fact that they are struggling and when businesses that would be willing
to come in to St. Joseph or Buchanan County, they look at those school districts
that are subpar and that plays a factor when they think about bringing their
production facilities here.”

Nelson faces Gibson on the November 8th
ballot to succeed Presiding Commissioner Lee Sawyer, who decided not to run for
re-election.

The two don’t even agree on the biggest issue
facing the county.

Gibson points to mental health reform, especially
in light of the growing opioid crisis. For Nelson, public safety is the county’s
number one issue, stating that the commission needs to back the sheriff’s
department.

Both addressed the shortage of officers in the
Buchanan County Sheriff’s Department.

Nelson says he will work with the sheriff’s
department in its effort to attract quality candidates, a problem that he says
is not unique to Buchanan County.

“We attract them with supporting them number one,
trying to keep them safe and, at the same time, funding them as much as we can,
as much as possible, to increase their pay, protect them, give them all the
things they need to be protected, so they can keep us safe,” Nelson says.

As for Gibson, he says it is important for the
sheriff’s department to understand it has an ally in the presiding
commissioner’s office.

“Obviously, funding would be my main thing,” Gibson
says. “Letting people understand that there is a firm community behind those
people when you come here. Keeping your family safe would be a top priority.
And then anyone that might be coming from somewhere else, let them understand
the great things that Buchanan County has to offer to their family.”

The two candidates suggest different approaches
to upgrading county roads and bridges.

Gibson says the county needs to conduct a survey
of its infrastructure.

“As soon as you’re getting nice enough weather,
you got out, you survey your bridges, your roads, and one of my things is
making sure that all of our county roads are clearly labeled so we know if
there’s a situation happening beyond any of our community borders in the county,
that we know where they’re at and you can find them easier,” according to
Gibson.

Yet, Nelson says he would defer to the Eastern
and Western District Commissioners on how best to approach road and bridge
work.

“That’s what they’re elected to do, to take care
of roads and bridges in our county,” Nelson says. “Andrew brought up a good
point as far as identifying county roads. The GIS or the IT guys up in the
courthouse are working with the city and the country in order to get that to
happen.”

Buchanan County voters decide the race November 8th.

Little witches and goblins
will be out and about hunting for candy tonight, and the Missouri Highway
Patrol wants everyone to be safe this Halloween.

Sgt. Shane Hux with Troop H
in St. Joseph says all children while out trick or treating should be with an adult.

"So they always need to
make sure that they have an adult with them," Hux tells KFEQ/St. Joseph
Post. "And then go to houses where the porch light is on, and do not just
run out across the street, just follow the regular safety protocols for those,
make sure you cross as a group."

Hux says smaller children
should also not try to run between cars to cross the street, because that makes
it more difficult for drivers to spot them.

Hux says drivers should be
on the lookout for children and parents as they cross the streets tonight.

"Avoid distractions,
you know not a good time as any to be on your cell phone, because you never
know when these youngsters are going to dash out in front of you, come out
between parked cars," Hux says.

Hux says it's important for
trick or treaters to carry a flashlight or glowstick while out getting candy
tonight.

"A lot of the trick or
treaters will start, especially the little kids, when it's daylight outside but
then it will turn to darkness and having that flashlight or a glowstick, a lot
of the kids are carrying glowsticks, so that's always a great idea," Hux
says. "And also, if your costume does not have reflective material on
that, highly recommended that you buy some and add some to that."

For both trick-or-treaters
and drivers, it’s important to stay alert and watch for children who might be
running back and forth across the street.
