Wal-Mart tests matching prices with online rivals

NEW YORK (AP) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is considering matching online prices from competitors like Amazon.com, raising the stakes for the holiday shopping season.

The world's largest retailer, based in Bentonville, Arkansas, has matched prices of local store competitors but hadn't followed moves by other retailers like Best Buy or Target to match prices of online rivals. It said it has been testing the strategy in certain markets and is trying to figure out whether to go ahead.

The strategy comes as Wal-Mart is trying to rev up sluggish sales in the U.S. but it could also erode profits.

A Wal-Mart spokeswoman says many store managers have matched online prices for customers on a case-by-case basis.

The move was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

UPDATE: St.Clair County Sheriff's Office: Investigation of missing man continues

St. Clair County Sheriff Scott Keeler said an investigation of a missing man from rural Appleton City is continuing. On Saturday evening, Oct. 25, Dale Miller, 78, Appleton City, wandered into the woods near his home on NW 400 Road and did not return. Miller had his black German shepherd dog, Lady, with him when he went missing. Family, friends and numerous volunteers joined in the search on Sunday. The sheriff said after an extensive ground check of the property and the surrounding acres where Miller was last seen, the area was cleared on Monday to allow the dogs from Missouri Search and Rescue to search. Bloodhounds from a volunteer group searched the area on Wednesday.

“All of the searches have resulted with no additional clues or signs of Mr. Miller or his dog,” said Sheriff Keeler. “At this point the intensive search has concluded and the investigation is ongoing with deputies following up on any leads that may come in. I want to thank all those that have donated their time and energy in the search effort.”

Miller is a white male 5’ 10”, 158 lbs., gray hair, blue eyes and wears glasses. He was last seen wearing a hunter orange baseball cap, blue shirt, blue jeans and boots. Miller is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and has a fractured vertebra. He walks hunched forward, shuffles his feet and his speech is whispered and mumbled. Miller has missed several doses of his medication since he went missing. He may have an altered mental status and motor skills.

Agencies assisting in the search included the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office, Missouri Department of Conservation, Missouri State Highway Patrol, American Red Cross, St. Clair County Rescue, Missouri Search and Rescue, and firefighters from Appleton City, Lowry City, Sac Osage, Taberviille, Rockville, Collins, and Iconium.

Cancer fundraising effort packs Amsterdam Community Building Saturday evening

Last Saturday night, upwards of 200 people crammed in the Amsterdam Community Building to attend a benefit aimed at helping two local folks who are currently fighting cancer. Money raised will be aimed at offsetting medical costs for Pam Nieder and Lois Booth who are both fighting cancer and are receiving ongoing treatments.

This mapboard shows spots where
chances were purchased in the Fowl
Shot game. 

The evening started with a chili/soup supper followed by an auction that brought some amazing bids on some of the items- tickets for a Chiefs/Broncos game brought $400 and a quilt made by the late Barb Corwine of Amsterdam that topped out at an amazing $1,500 (more info in the photo caption below).

Many other donated items, too numerous to mention all hit the auction block helping to make the evening a "huge success" as well. Some items included pies, jellies, and desserts brought as much as $100 each.

The idea of having the benefit was the brainchild of Debbie Burton and Wes Hubbard, both of rural Amsterdam, who wanted to do something special for friends in need. They, along with help from the Amsterdam Jubilee Committee, spent many weeks in advance working to get donations and spread the word about the event that drew folks from all over.

Some beautiful woodwork donated by Carl
Stanfill of Amoret

Included in the fun was the "Fowl Shot" game which involves placing a chicken in a pen with squares marked on the floor. Eventually the chicken 'marks' a square and a winner is named.

A special thank you goes to auctioneer Larry Cantrell who donated his time for the evening.  It should be noted that while a collection was taken up to pay him, he generously donated it back to the cause.

This quilt was donated by Tammy Cameron of Amoret.
Years ago, Barb Corwine made the quilt and donated it to a
Cancer Benefit for Kobe Black. Tammy won the quilt at that
fundraiser and donated it to this event. Kobe's grandmother,
Chelle Black, came to this fundraiser to win the quilt, no
matter the amount and then promptly gave it back to Tammy
Cameron. While it was an emotional moment, it was also
realized this quilt is truly "a gift that keeps on giving"

566,000 Dodges and Jeeps recalled

• 
  
• Potential for a fuel leak and fire, as well as a separate issue impacting vehicle stability systems, are behind two Dodge and Jeep recalls Wednesday morning.
• Fiat Chrysler said the fuel heater assembly used in certain 2010-2014 model year Dodge Ram diesel trucks can overheat. That can lead to fuel leaking and potentially a fire.
• The company said there have been two reports of overheating, but is aware of no fires, injuries or accidents.
• The recall covers Ram models 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500. Most of the 382,000 vehicles are in the U.S. The fix involves upgrading wiring harness terminals and, if necessary, the housing for the fuel heater, the company said.
• Chrysler also announced a recall of about 184,000 SUVs for an issue with the electronic stability control system.
• A fault can disable the system, it said, but a software upgrade can fix that.
• Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles from 2014 are included in the recall.
• This has been an epic year for recalls. Automakers have recalled a record, 52 million vehicles, including 30 million recalled by General Motors.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Halloween Safety tips

Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, encourages everyone to plan ahead on Halloween. Safety is an important part of a fun Halloween.

MOTORISTS: Motorists are reminded to pay attention for trick-or-treaters of all ages. Young children excited by Halloween could dart in front of a vehicle. Slow down, and drive with extra caution. If you are headed to a costume party, make sure the costume doesn’t hamper your vision while you’re driving to the event! Motorists picking up and dropping off trick-or-treaters may increase the number of vehicles on the road, therefore affecting traffic patterns. Please be courteous and stay alert.

PARENTS: Tell your child to approach only familiar houses that are well lighted. Remind them they should never enter a stranger’s house or vehicle. Trick-or-treating with your children can be fun, and it's good for their safety.

TRICK-OR-TREATERS: Keep costumes short to prevent tripping and consider make-up rather than masks. Masks can make it difficult for children to see oncoming traffic. Wear light-colored clothing or add reflective tape to dark costumes to make them visible. Flame resistant costumes are the best ones. Remember to look both ways when crossing the street. Use sidewalks wherever possible when you're walking around a neighborhood.

Trick-or-treaters are urged to do so while it is light outside. If you go out later, take a flashlight with you. An adult should always accompany small children, and older children should stay in groups.

ADULTS: Consider spending Halloween at home answering the front door. If you attend a Halloween party that includes alcohol, make sure you have a sober, designated driver for the trip home. Alcohol, even in small amounts, slows reaction time and dulls the senses. Drinking alcohol could have a sad and possibly deadly result.
