Joplin trash service pushed back one day due to icy road conditions

(From the City of Joplin)

Republic Services, the Joplin residential trash and curbside recycling provider, was not able to pick up the trash on Thursday, February 28 due to icy road conditions on residential streets and alleys.

Because of this, Republic will be running a day behind for the remainder of this week. Thursday customers will have service on Friday, and Friday service moves to Saturday.







“Safety is a top priority, said Mary Anne Phillips, Joplin Recycling Coordinator. “Pedestrians and motorists are reminded that heavy trash trucks have difficulty stopping on icy and snow-covered roads and alleys. We appreciate residents’ patience and understanding as we work through these challenging weather conditions.”

When services are delayed due to the weather, it is announced on local media stations and posted on the City’s social media sites. For questions about trash and curbside recycling, call the Recycling Coordinator at 417-624-0820, extension 1501.

City of Joplin kicks off transit service study, public meetings planned

(From the City of Joplin)

If you could improve bus service in the Joplin area, what would you do? The City of Joplin is kicking off the Joplin Transit Service Analysis to uncover the answers.

The effort will involve a detailed review of existing services, development of a community-inspired vision for the future, and a series of improvement alternatives for the Sunshine Lamp Trolley/Metro Area Public Transit System (MAPS). The process begins this month with stakeholder meetings and will continue through year’s end.

The Joplin Transit Service Analysis will be a complete review of our public transportation system. It will consider trends, emergency needs, what generates a transit trip, and much more. 







 Specifically, we will analyze existing and future ridership, develop service plans, examine funding sources, and analyze the City’s ability to compete for funds available at the state and local levels. The effort will result in a descriptive path forward for transitioning from current service to new or revised service. It will also guide and inform the City’s future long-range transportation plans and prioritize transit system changes and investments.

Because public involvement is very important to the success of the project, City officials and study team members are planning to meet with individuals and groups on Monday, March 11 through Wednesday, March 13. Meetings with representatives from the following perspectives are included: health, elderly residents, employers, employment agencies, staff and officials from the City and nearby communities, transit riders, health and residential care centers, hotels, and others. We will combine what we learn from stakeholders with technical analysis to identify key challenges and opportunities for the transit system.

This spring we will schedule a public meeting and make an opinion survey available, so community members can help us shape a detailed transit vision. During the summer, we will develop recommendations for a series of transit improvement alternatives that will help bring the vision to reality. Some of the alternatives will be long-, medium-, and short-term but all will address costs and financial resources. The Analysis Team will share them with the public near the end of 2019.

The City is developing the transit service analysis to ensure that the bus system provides efficient service and meets the needs of community members. Today, Sunshine Lamp Trolley provides three routes: Red, Blue, and Green. Riders are able to get on and off at designated bus stops along the routes. They also have the option of scheduling a “deviated” pick-up or drop-off at a location within ¾-mile from the trolley route. Deviated stops can be scheduled with at least a one-hour advanced notice.

The MAPS system works with the trolley, providing curb-to-curb bus service on a pre-scheduled basis to residents of the greater Joplin metropolitan area. Residents schedule rides to pick them up from and take them to any destination within the MAPS operating boundaries. MAPS service is available in Joplin, Carl Junction, Carterville, Webb City, Duenweg, Airport Drive, and adjacent rural areas.

For more information about the Joplin Transit Service Analysis, contact Robert Lolley, MAPS/Transit Coordinator, City of Joplin, at 417-625-4793 or rlolley@joplinmo.org. You may also contact Lynn Iliff Onstot, City Public Information Officer, at 417-624-0820, ext. 1204 or lonstot@joplinmo.org. Comment on the project via social media with our hashtag: #JoplinTransit.

Joplin man arrested for smoking meth in Cherokee County Sheriff's parking lot

(From the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office)

Around 2:30 this morning, a Cherokee County Sheriff's Deputy was at the Sheriff's Office in Columbus consulting with communications officers about weather and road conditions.

On the facility surveillance cameras, they observed a man and woman pull into the parking lot.

The man remained with the car while the woman entered the facility to inquire about posting bond for an inmate.

While the deputy continued to view the surveillance camera, the man then appeared to start smoking drugs.









The deputy approached the man, identified as Christoper Hill, who was found to be in possession of a considerable amount of methamphetamine along with drug paraphernalia.

Hill, 25 of Joplin, was placed under arrest in lieu of $15,000 bond, on suspicion of Possessing Methamphetamine with Intent to Distribute, Possessing Methamphetamine and Possessing Drug Paraphernalia.

“This is certainly a situation which can be used to demonstrate the damage done by using methamphetamine, which clearly results in a diminished ability to think rationally,” stated Cherokee County Sheriff David Groves.

The woman who was with Hill was not arrested and decided not to post either mans bond at that time.

Nadine Strossen, one of the most influential women in constitutional law, civil liberties, and international human rights, will visit TJ on March 7 as part of the Steven McCollum Distinguished Speakers Series.

 She will talk with TJ Upper School students during the day, and then talk with parents, faculty, and the community during a presentation at 6:30 p.m. in the TJ Concert Hall.

Newton County Sheriff's Office warns of Social Security scams

(From the Newton County Sheriff's Office)

We have received an influx of callers reporting they were notified their social security number has been “suspended for suspicion of illegal activity”.

If you were called by a person claiming this, guess what? Yep, it’s a scam.

They may make claims that if you don’t provide information, such as your social security number or other private info, a warrant will be issued. Guess what? They can’t issue warrants!







We appreciate folks letting us know they were called, however we are well aware this is going around. Thank you too all that called in today.

Pass this on, some people may not be aware it’s happening and we hate when people are fooled by these tricksters.

Arrest of Joplin Honky leads to Jeffery Flener being named JPD Officer of the Month

(From the Joplin Police Department)

Officer of the Month
January 2019
Officer Jeffery Flener


On 01/30/19 at approximately 0315 hours Officer Flener was patrolling the 500 Block of Moffett when he located what appeared to be a burglary in progress.

Officer Flener tried to contact the vehicle's occupants and they took off at a high rate of speed. This initiated a pursuit that went into Kansas, down into Oklahoma and then back almost to Joplin. 

Because of Officer Flener’s due diligence in investigating this incident the suspect driver, a known Joplin Honky, and the passenger, also a known criminal, were taken into custody for $210,000 worth of warrants out of Jasper and Newton County’s along with felony resisting charges on the driver for causing the pursuit. 







Officer Flener is always happy to be at work and is always willing to help out who ever he is working with. Officer Flener is a very proactive officer that will put in extra work to make sure that whatever he is working on is done to the best of his ability. 

Officer Flener is a very dedicated officer that is a great asset to the Midnight Patrol Team.

Thank you Officer Flener for you service to the community, agency, and fellow officers. You are an asset to the Joplin Police Department.

Respectfully,

Matthew Stewart
Chief of Police

NINE. (9). It’s not a lonely number.

It’s how many crashes we have responded to in less than the last four hours - BEFORE the freezing stuff.







We encourage everyone to drive safe, buckle up, eliminate distractions and get where they are going safely. And be aware of changing road conditions this evening and overnight.

153 PM CST Tue Feb 26 2019

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of the Missouri
Ozarks and extreme southeast Kansas.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

Weather hazards expected...

  Elevated ice accumulation risk.








DISCUSSION...

Freezing drizzle will develop near and northwest of a Pittsburg,
Kansas to Nevada, Missouri line after midnight. A thin glaze of
ice is expected by sunrise, especially on elevated surfaces.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

The threat for freezing drizzle and light freezing rain will then
spread southeast through much of the outlook area Wednesday night
and early Thursday morning.

A thin glaze to a tenth of an inch of ice appears increasingly
likely over much of the area with perhaps the exception of far
south-central Missouri.

A strong cold front will move southeast through the area late
this week with wind chills falling into the single digits at
times from Friday night through the upcoming weekend.

There will also be the potential for light snow from late Saturday
into Sunday. It is too early to determine accumulation potential.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

  Spotter activation will not be needed through tonight.

(From MODOT)

Drivers can expect nighttime lane closings and occasional traffic delays when a project to resurface Interstate 44 in Jasper and Newton counties begins the week of March 4, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

I-44 will receive a new asphalt driving surface and new guardrail in areas between Range Line Road (Loop 44) in Joplin and a point east of Missouri Route 37 in Sarcoxie.

Crews will work at night between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. At least one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction at all times. All lanes of traffic will be open during daytime hours. Drivers also can expect occasional nighttime ramp closings during guardrail work.







Signs and message boards will alert drivers to the work zone. Drivers can expect bright lights, workers and equipment close to traffic where crews are set up to work. Drivers are urged to slow down and use caution.

Weather and/or scheduling delays will alter the work schedule.
