Space Heater Safety Tips for Your Home from Joplin News First
(64804) – “Fire on Willard was ruled accidental due to a space heater,” Deputy Fire Chief Andy Nimmo tells Joplin News First.
1) Never leave an electric space heater unattended while it is operating. Don't leave it on and leave home.
2) Make sure it is plugged directly into the wall. If you must use an extension cord it needs to be 14-gauge wire. If it's just a small wire it will cause the wire to get HOT. Before tripping your breaker in the fuse box it could heat up and start a fire. Never run any cord under a rug either.
3) Buy the right heater for the space and make sure it has a safety switch. If a child or an animal knocks the heater over then it would turn off automatically.
4) Some space heaters can make your electric bill go up $75-$100 per month. They are not energy savers, they are energy suckers. So bundle up. Dress in layers during the day. More blankets at night.

City of Joplin LEAF PICK-UP Schedule Begins Monday After Thanksgiving
To address all areas of Joplin, the City utilizes three crews which start in outlying areas and work their way toward the center of Joplin. A crew from the Street Department will start in the northeast section of town (Royal Heights/College View Addition areas) and another crew will start in the Silver Creek/Highlands/Woodland Hills area. The Parks Department crew will start south of 32nd Street and west of Main Street. Crews will work toward the middle of town to complete the program.
Weather permitting, this collection could take over one month.
Residents are reminded not to bag their leaves, but rather rake them to the curb. No tree limbs, brush or rocks should be included in the piles, please. The City asks that residents DO NOT rake leaves into the street, as they may clog the storm drains, and it could cause the City’s street sweeping truck to bypass that area. Please do not place leaf piles over water meters (manhole covers). Doing so may cause Missouri-American Water to estimate your water usage, instead of recording the exact amount for billing purposes.
For residents who wish to dispose of leaves year-round, bring them to the Joplin Compost Facility next to the Turkey Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant at 3457 Eddy Lane, which is west of the intersection of Eddy and North Peace Church Avenue. Please remove leaves from trash bags and take trash bags with you. No brush, tree limbs, bags, or trash, please.

ONE JOPLIN - Joplin Neighborhoods Map
(64801) -- Joplin News First and our sister page Joplin News Past is excited about the One Joplin initiative to get neighborhood groups communicating on social media for safety and projects just like this sign.
Communicating regarding: Crime? A lost pet? Celebration? Drug activity? Vacant properties? For Sale properties? Missing children? Stolen items? Illness?
Knowing the name and boundaries of the place where you live is the first step in building a Joplin community where neighbors thrive together. Much like finding out the name of a new acquaintance, there is something about knowing a place's name, that builds a sense of connection and pride for that place.
Find your neighborhood on the map and see if there is a page created you can join. If not consider starting one. Click Joplin Neighborhoods https://goo.gl/maps/

What makes H&M different from other clothing stores? Jessie from Joplin says, “they are very trendy, something you might wear for just a season or two, but they still carry the basics. And the basics they do are good. I have the cutest $12 dress I bought in Kansas City and it wasn’t on sale!”
H&M has a clothing recycle program. If you bring 3 items to recycle you can receive 15% off your purchase. They take the donated clothing and recycle them to make new garments or possibly donate them to a charity.
“Celebrities are often seen wearing H&M showing they are mere mortals just like us.” Huffington Post states, “It just goes to show you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to look gorgeous.”

Clocks Fall Back This Weekend - Who's Benny Hinn? What's that Meme Mean?
Benny Hinn frequented Oral Roberts University in Tulsa Oklahoma during the 80s and 90s with his Faith Healing Crusades where people were slain in the spirit.
WIKI: Toufik Benedictus "Benny" Hinn (born 3 December 1952) is an Israeli televangelist, best known for his regular "Miracle Crusades"—revival meeting or faith healing summits that are usually held in stadiums in major cities, which are later broadcast worldwide on his television program, This Is Your Day.
WIKI: Toufik Benedictus "Benny" Hinn (born 3 December 1952) is an Israeli televangelist, best known for his regular "Miracle Crusades"—revival meeting or faith healing summits that are usually held in stadiums in major cities, which are later broadcast worldwide on his television program, This Is Your Day.
On
moving to the United States, Hinn traveled to Orlando,
Florida, where he founded the Orlando Christian Center in 1983.
Eventually, he began claiming that God was using him as a conduit for
healings, and began holding healing services in his church. These new
"Miracle Crusades" were soon held at large stadiums and
auditoriums across the United States and the world. During the early
1990s, he launched a new daily talk show called This
Is Your Day,
which to this day airs clips of supposed miracles from Hinn's Miracle
Crusades. The program premiered on the Trinity
Broadcasting Network of Paul
Crouch,
who would become one of Hinn's most outspoken defenders and allies.
Hinn's ministry began to rapidly grow from there, winning praise as
well as criticism from fellow Christian leaders.
In
1999, he stepped down as pastor of the Orlando Christian Center,
moving his ministry's administrative headquarters to Grapevine,
Texas, a suburb of Fort
Worth,
while hosting This
Is Your Day from
a television studio in Orange
County,
California, where he now lives with his family. His former church was
renamed Faith World Church under the leadership of Clint Brown, who
merged his Orlando church with Hinn's.

(64801/64804) -- Last year 2 hours and 45 minutes away from Joplin, yesterday's New York City terrorist suspect got ticketed as a truck driver.
The terrorist suspect would have driven through Joplin as he worked for a private trucking company based in Florida traveling all over the Midwest.
He was ticketed in 2015 and had to appear in court in Platte City County Court in 2016. He never appeared in court. Fees were paid through mail and a bond was applied. Platte City is 10 minutes from Kansas City International Airport.
He also had numerous other tickets in Nebraska and Eastern Missouri from our research. 🙁 #NYCTerroristAttack

(Platte City, MO - 64079) -- The Missouri State Highway Patrol confirms the suspect in yesterday's attack along a New York City bike trail that killed 8 people was ticketed in the Kansas City area last year.
Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov was driving a 2006 Freightliner tractor trailer at the scale house on I-29 in Platte County, Missouri on December 15, 2016.
