Harrison County crash kills Cainsville woman

Posted on November 10, 2016

A collision on a Harrison County road claimed the life of a 34-year-old Cainsville woman.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Chrystal Everett was driving southbound on Route B north of Mount Moriah shortly before 1 p.m. Wednesday when her Dodge Dakota left the highway. The crash report says Everett overcorrected, and drove into the path of a semi.

Everett was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash by Harrison County Coroner Zack Wilson.

The driver of the semi was identified by the patrol as 34-year-old Jacobus Ban-Deventer. Ban-Deventer was not hurt.

Colgan sentenced to 1 year and a day for fraud

Posted on November 10, 2016

Dr Fred Czerwonka with School Board chair Dr. Dan L. Colgan.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The former superintendent of the St. Joseph School District and former president of the Board of Education was sentenced in federal court today for a fraud scheme in which he received more than $662,000 in pension payments to which he was not entitled.

Danny L. Colgan, 70, of St. Joseph, Mo., was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Dean Whipple to one year and one day in federal prison without parole. Colgan also made a final payment of $608,257 today to complete his court-ordered restitution.

Colgan, who pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud on June 13, 2016, was the superintendent of the St. Joseph School District from July 1, 1992, until his retirement on Dec. 31, 2005. Colgan was entitled to retirement benefits from the Public School and Education Employee Retirement Systems of Missouri (PSRS) with the amount of the retirement benefits based upon his highest consecutive three years of reported salary.

Colgan admitted that he caused others to falsely report his salary to the PSRS in order to increase his retirement benefits. Colgan knew that the salary figures he caused the school district to submit to PSRS on his behalf included fringe benefits and other payments to Colgan that were not eligible to be counted as salary under state statutes.

This fraud scheme began during the 1997-98 school year and lasted for eight years, until Colgan’s retirement. Colgan’s retirement benefits were calculated by using the amounts reported by the school district over the final three-year period before he retired.

During that final three-year period, the school district falsely reported that Colgan’s salary totaled $586,030. In reality, his salary totaled $343,286 – a difference of $242,744. As a result of the false statements to the PSRS, the school district made excess payments in the amount of $14,652 to the PSRS from 2003 through 2005, and Colgan was paid excess benefits that totaled $677,313 over a 10-year period.

Colgan’s salary reported for his final three years as school superintendent improperly included the following:

· Car Allowance/Travel Stipend: The $9,600 car allowance/travel stipend was a fringe benefit that was ineligible for retirement salary calculation purposes;
· Family Insurance Premiums: The family insurance benefits/premiums paid by the district of $5,225, $5,603, and $6,258 were fringe benefits that were ineligible for retirement salary calculation purposes;
· District Contribution to Taxable Annuity: The district payment for the school year 2004-2005 of $25,000 to purchase a taxable annuity for the superintendent was ineligible for retirement salary calculation purposes;
· “District Vehicle” Payments: In the final three years, the school district reported “District Vehicle” payments of $11,300, $11,300, and $28,975. The “District Vehicle” payments were separate from the $800 per month car allowance payments (described above). The “District Vehicle” payments were fringe benefits that were ineligible for retirement salary calculation purposes; and
· Unused Vacation Payment: An unused vacation payment in June 2005 of $10,820 was a fringe benefit that was ineligible for retirement salary calculation purposes.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul S. Becker. It was investigated by the FBI.

Big turnout for Veterans Day parade in downtown St. Joe (Video & Photo Gallery)

Posted on November 9, 2016

Scores of veterans and supporters turned out Wednesday afternoon for a Veterans Day parade in downtown St. Joseph.

We spoke with David Farrow, the Sr. Vice Commander as well as the Post Service Officer for VFW Post 1668 in St. Joseph. The post held a celebration after the parade, featuring sandwiches, cookies, cake, punch and comaraderie. Farrow agreed that while recent attendance at Veterans Day parades has dwindled, it appears to be picking back up again.

“First of all you’ve got a job, or your kids are going to school, you know that just takes up their time, and they’ve got to deal with that,” Farrow said. “A parade is a nice thing to go to if you’ve got time, and that’s it.”

“We’ve just filled up our days with so much to do that it’s hard to find time to go to things that are abnormal to your normal daily routine,” he said.

Post Commander Maurice Hughs has seen a lot of parades. The World War Two veteran is 93 years old. Hughs said Wednesday’s turnout was the best he’s seen since the 1970s.

Shop St. Joseph kicks off in the wake of the 2016 election

Posted on November 9, 2016November 9, 2016

St. Joseph’s annual holiday shopping program is kicking off just a day after the 2016 Presidential Election.

The St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce kicked off its 10th annual Shop St. Joseph Holiday Program on Wednesday. The shopping program, designed to encourage residents to do their holiday shopping in St. Joseph, concludes on Dec. 19. On Dec. 20 one lucky shopper will win a $10,000 grand prize. Shoppers also have a chance to win second-chance prizes from some participating merchants.

“We knew the kick off would be right after a major election. We figured it could get people talking about the holidays a little earlier ,”said Natalie Redmond, Vice President of Membership for the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. “Maybe switching up the Facebook posts a little bit.”

99 merchants are participating this year, which is three more than in 2015, Redmond said.

“Shop St. Joseph is the Chamber’s way to help keep holiday spending in St. Joseph,” she said. “We hope you all spend your dollars with the participating merchants as a thank you for supporting this program.”

No purchase is required to win. Customers may receive one free ticket for visiting any participating merchant and one additional ticket for every $10 increment of purchase. A maximum of 100 tickets may be issued per transaction.

A winning ticket will be announced at 5 p.m. on Dec. 20. Once a ticket has been announced for the grand prize, the winner has 24 hours to claim their prize before another number is announced. Shoppers are encouraged to keep their tickets. Many merchants are offering second chance prizes, so even if you don’t win the $10,000 prize, you may be a winner of another prize. Only one number will be drawn for secondary prizes. (A list of second chance prizes will be released when it’s available.) For more information go to saintjoseph.com.
