Nodaway County Services (NCS), the agency that assists people with developmental disabilities, recently donated 300 turkeys and hams to Maryville's Ministry Center food pantry and clothing center to help over 270 families in need.

NCS executive director Mark Parra told KXCV-KRNW's Gabe Porter this is the fourth year they have made such a donation, and they look to continue partnerships and collaborations in Northwest Missouri as well as St. Joseph and Kansas City.

Parra said as a non-profit looking to help other non-profits, NCS tries "to find the areas that align with our mission and values and impact the people that we try to provide resources and support too".

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.
