Owner Christopher Pineda says that impact is limited to certain items for now but expects that could expand before conditions level out. Other stores like Fox Farm Food say they're preparing for changes but have not seen any yet.
'We have not, as of yet, we expect that to change, of course, but we're just going to try to weather the storm. Just try to, you know, keep prices the same through it all. Hopefully it will balance out, get fixed,' said Tim Spry, Fox Farm Store Mgr.
'Some products that come straight from Mexico, or like the dairy or meat, or like hand sausages that come like specific brands come straight from Mexico. Yeah, the price has been up, like, a little bit, like, 3%,' said Christopher Pineda, Pineda Market Owner.

2024-2025 Golden Lion Award winners honored at MSSU
JOPLIN, Mo. — This year's Golden Lion Award winners are honored at a special ceremony. The annual awards banquet took place Tuesday night (6/10) inside Missouri Southern State University's Ron Richard Athletic Center. It was emceed by KODE's Gretchen Bolander and recognized the eight finalists from this past academic year, whose stories we've brought you since September. Each one was nominated and chosen for their commitment to community service and academic achievement. Each one also received a $1,000 dollar scholarship to MSSU. During the banquet, one of the eight finalists received an additional $5,000 scholarship. This year's overall winner was Camden Steadman from Seneca. 'I was shocked. I was very happy, though. It was like a really good, happy shock because during my first interview, I actually said, 'like' a lot of times and I thought, 'I botched that interview or I hope that doesn't mess me up,' and I'm glad that it didn't mess it up. And then getting this scholarship is huge, I mean, $5,000 is a lot of money. That will cover an entire semester at the very least,' said Steadman. 'The Golden Lion Award is an amazing recognition of students who provided a truly unique service in their high school. We're so happy to have those students coming to the Missouri Southern campus. Over the years, I've seen them come here succeed, continue to serve, and make a difference,' said MSSU President, Dr. Dean Van Galen. The Golden Lion Award is sponsored by our parent company, Nexstar Broadcasting and H.E. Williams. To date, more than 30 MSSU graduates began their collegiate careers as Golden Lion Award finalists.

Missouri Job Center helps grads make smooth transistion into the job market
JOPLIN, Mo. — Graduation is just around the corner, and for many students, that means finding a job. 'There are a lot of kids that are going to be graduating right now. So the market is going to be flooded with individuals who are applying for different types of positions.' That's why Pam Regan with the Missouri Job Center in Joplin says it's important to get a head start on the process – especially for first-time job seekers and high school graduates. 'If they've never had a job before, we have a work experience program, so we can get them connected with an employer and gain that work experience so they have something to put on that resume,' said Regan.

'For recent graduates in post-secondary education, they can come in, utilize our computers, set up an account with us, get their resumes online,' said Regan. Regan says once you've signed in and completed your resume — the system puts your resume on future employers' radars. 'Employers that are looking for your skill set can see that resume and then they can contact you directly. It also gives you an opportunity to search for employers that are hiring in your career field.' Once a graduate has passed that part of the process — it's time to prepare for interviews — which she says can be the most nerve-wracking part. 'They can call in. Somebody can sit down and kind of work with them to, you know, get over those nerves because interviewing is hard.' The center also offers a variety of orientations to hone skills. 'Having that skill set that we can help them gain will help just make them more employable once they do get to that employer in that interview.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
