If you were up early enough Thursday morning (September 10) and drove by Maryville's Hy-Vee store, you had your chance to support the Kansas City Chiefs on Red Thursday.

Diane Higdon of Maryville is a member of the Chiefs Red Coaters community service organization who was selling Chiefs Red Thursday flags supporting the Hunt Family Foundation.

Proceeds from the flag sales went to Ronald McDonald House Charities.

Higdon, who has been a Red Coater since 2014, also says she is anticipating the Chiefs season opener at home against the Broncos.

Bill Oliver has returned to his alma mater as News Director for KXCV/KRNW after leading award winning news operations as part of a career that has also included sports, operations, management, and sales at public and commercial radio stations in Texas, Kansas, and Nebraska.

A 1981 Northwest Missouri State University graduate, Oliver was deeply involved with KXCV and KDLX as a student, hosting music and news programs, calling sports broadcasts, and helping keep the station on the air after the 1979 Administration Building fire.

Oliver says his return is motivated by a desire to be closer to family and to give back to the university and the mentors who helped shape his broadcasting career.
