During the summer, heat and humidity can cause se-rious health problems with little or no warning, and with highs in the 90s and not much relief at night, Macon County residents are reminded to take pre-cautions keeping them safe from heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Last year, 47 Missourians died from heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and health

professionals from the Ma-con County Health De-partment and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Ser-vices remind r e s i d e n t s that it’s not only the very young and very old who are affected.

R e m e m -ber these ba-sic tips from your local health de-partment to protect you and your

family during severe heat and heat emergencies:

Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone.

Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehi-cles.

· Drink plenty of water and limit intake of alcoholic beverages.

· Wear loose-fi tting, lightweight and light-col-ored clothes that cover as much skin as possible.

· Protect your face and head by wearing a wide-brimmed hat. Wear sun-screen.

· Avoid strenuous work during the warmest part of the day; use the buddy system when working in extreme heat and take fre-quent breaks.

· Consider spending the warmest part of the day in public buildings such as li-braries, schools, movie the-aters, shopping malls and other community facilities.

· Be aware of medications that may impair the body’s response to heat, including antihistamines, tranquiliz-ers and some medications for heart disease.

The Missouri Depart-ment of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) monitors high temperatures and hu-midity across the state to prevent heat-related illness and death. The elderly and the chronically ill are more vulnerable to the effects of high temperatures. Many prescription medications

make individuals more sen-sitive to the heat. Missouri-ans suffer from heat-related illnesses, with some cases resulting in death.

The heat has defi nitely set in here in northeast Missouri and throughout the state. The heat index has been close to or hit the 100-degree mark in the past week and the National Weather Service in St. Lou-is sees the trend continuing in July and August.

Where can you go if you are without air conditioning or if you have an air mal-function?

Local residents, who are without air conditioning or just need to cool down, may visit local cooling centers to help keep cool during this oppressive heat.

In La Plata, residents can seek cooler shelter at the La Plata Nursing Home, the La Plata United Methodist Church or the Lighthouse Assembly of God Church.

In Macon, residents can go to the Macon Public Li-brary, during open hours, Macon Health Care Cen-ter or Loch Haven Nursing Home.

Absentee ballots are available at the Macon County Clerk’s offi ce for the August 7th, Primary Election. To request a ballot, please apply in person or mail a written request to the clerk’s offi ce located at 101 East Washing-ton Suite, Suite B, Macon, Missouri 63552 or fax a written request to 660-385-7203.

The Macon County Commission has issued an open burning warning for all of Macon County until further notice. The Com-

Macon County Issues Open Burn Ban

mission asks that all resi-dents curtail open burning of brush, trees and other wastes while hot and dry conditions persist. While the Commission has no legal statutory authority to ban burning, they be-lieve that the fi re risk is substantial and asks for caution and cooperation from all residents.

The Commission also recommends caution while using Bar-b-Que grills and fi reworks over the 4th of July holiday as these can pose a fi re risk under the right conditions.

The City of La Plata Electrical Department was on scene at South Gex St. recently fi xing a pole that had teetered. The crew of Cory Cook and Nathan See fi xed the pole and were off to another job for the city.

MEN AT WORK

The American Red Cross blood supply has reached emergency levels with 50,000 fewer donations than expected in June. This shortfall leaves the Red Cross with half the readily available blood products on hand now than this time last year.

The Red Cross is calling on all eligible blood donors – now more than ever – to roll up a sleeve and give as soon as possible. All blood types are needed, but especially O positive, O negative, B negative and A negative in order to meet patient demand this summer.

An unseasonably early start to spring may be a contributing factor to this year’s decrease in donations. Many regular donors got an early start on summer activities and aren’t taking time to give blood or platelets. In addition, this year’s mid-week Independence Day holiday has reduced the number of scheduled Red Cross blood drives. Many sponsors, especially businesses, are unable to host drives because employees are taking extended vacations.

Unfortunately, patients don’t get a holiday from needing blood products. The need is constant. Every two seconds, someone in the United States needs a blood transfusion. Blood and platelets are needed for many different reasons, including accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients, organ transplant patients, premature babies – when there are complications during childbirth – and for patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease.

American Red Cross Issues Emergency Call For Donors

“Every day, the Red Cross must collect more than 17,000 pints of blood for patients at more than 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country. Of that, the Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region must collect approximately 800 pints per day,” said Scott Caswell, CEO of the American Red Cross Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region, serving areas of Missouri, Illinois and Kansas. “We need donors to make appointments in the coming days and weeks to help us ensure that all patient blood needs can be met. Each pint of whole blood can help save more than one life.”

“There is always the chance that a physician could postpone an elective surgery if the needed blood products aren’t readily available or, in a worst case scenario, have to forego a more serious procedure because of a shortage of blood.” Caswell added. “Our goal is to ensure that doesn’t happen.”

Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org to make an appointment or for more information. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identifi cation are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

“What is a T squared?” That is the number one question we get here at T² Heating and Air Condition-ing. It turns out that it can be any of several things that describes our com-pany.

“T2”, as some people call it, is a vertebra in the strong middle part of your back which, among other things, supports the rib cage and other structures in the body. At T² we are proud to support our com-munity and the people who

What Is That?live here. We are part of the “backbone” of your home and business comfort and respiratory health.

It’s also a geometric term, pronounced “toe’ rus” describing a “surface of revolution” caused by something spinning in cir-cles in three dimensions, and boy, does that describe how my fi rst year as a busi-ness owner has felt! If this revolution continues long enough, the entire spinning mass collapses into a ball of jello.

It’s a carpenter’s tool which enables a craftsman to keep his work straight. That is how we are con-ducting our business here at T². We work hard to get it right the fi rst time, and we’re keeping things “square” by honoring our customers, work, and war-ranties from the company when it was “Foreman Heating and Air”. We believe that “straight and square” is the very best way to deal with you, our friends, family, and neigh-bors! We keep your mon-ey right here in the com-munity, and are committed

to the stewardship of our environment.

At the end of the day though, the name of our company is simply a nick-name given to me by col-leagues from Cape Ca-naveral Air Force Base in Florida. It was a refer-ence to my habit of blast-ing through any obstacles threatening to delay my construction projects, like a tornado. The nickname has nothing to do with that big roller coaster in Ken-tucky known as “T² - Ter-ror to the Second Power”. I don’t think it does any-way.

4-H Horse Show - The Adair County Horse Show was held at the NEMO Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 23, 2012. Sarah Larson of the Oklahoma Indians 4-H Club participated in the event. She is shown with Old Yellow. She won 1st in Showmanship (Novice), 1st in Western Horsemanship (Novice), 1st in Western Pleasure (Novice), 3rd in Trail class, 2nd in Novice Boot race, 3rd in Barrel race, 2nd in Dizzy Bat, and 3rd in Pole Bending. She is the daughter of Blake and Tori Larson of rural La Plata.

The 4th of July. Fire-works, ice cream, parades, Uncle Sam, picnics, base-ball games. All are images that come to mind when we think of Independence Day. We celebrate free-dom. July 4, 1776 is the date on the Declaration of Independence, the docu-ment written to announce our freedom from rule by Great Britain.

We celebrate freedom. And yes we do govern ourselves. But is self-rule all there is to freedom? Are there other things we need to be set free from? Yes. There are. We would like to be set free from fear of terrorist attacks. We would like to be free from worry about hunger and homelessness. There are some who need to be freed from fear of stepping out of their homes. There are some who would like to be freed from fear of illness. There are some who don’t feel free because they don’t have a secure place to live, free of abuse.

There is someone who can help with those fears. There is one who can walk with us through those fears and even carry the burden for us. There is one who can bring us freedom from

hatred and prejudice and favoritism and poverty and many other problems in our society.

Freedom, ironically, comes with full surren-der. Not surrender to any person or government but to Jesus Christ. Jesus can bring us true freedom. Je-sus brings forgiveness and love. Jesus brings freedom from all the evil in the world.

We must surrender all the ugly stuff that is inside us to Jesus. We must sur-render our selfi sh way of living to living the way Jesus wants us to live, in love for one another and love for God. Can you sur-render your life to Jesus. C’mon. Raise the white fl ag. Surrender to him.

To The Editor,

In 1955 I was serving abroad the small mine surfer, USS Swift in Formosa. We were taking on fuel from a US Carrier, I believe the USS Ranger. John Wayne was making a movie on her and I got to go over and shake hands with him. I had my ships patriotic ball cap on and he said to me “I see your cap has a fl ag on it. Sure I wave

the American Flag too, I love my country with all her faults. I’m not ashamed of that. Never have been, never will be”. I told him I felt the same way and thanked him for his statement. I’ll always remember this.

Fly the American Flag. I’m proud of the La Plata people that do. I’m proud of the American Legion for all they do. Richard L. Crawford

An outdoor bulletin board was installed at the New Harmony Cemetery, seven miles east of La Plata on Hwy 156, on June 22, 2012. The bulletin board will contain information from the annual meetings of the Board of Directors of the New Harmony Cemetery Association, as well as contact numbers for those who would like to make donations to the Association fund, purchase burial plots, or contact the Board about other related cemetery business. The bulletin board was donated to the Association by a private citizen; no Association funds were spent on its purchase.

I had a wonderful week-end visiting family in St. Clair over the past week-end. It was great to see my Aunt Sara and her family. We spent time visiting and laughing, mostly inside as the weather was horrifi c outside. The heat was melt-ing paint on the walls, so to speak. But we did watch a great display of fi reworks put on by the group where she lives.

She lives at Lake St. Clair and the homeowners and landowners were all so great to donate to the fi re-works fund. The beautiful colors were radiant on the clear sky and it was the fi rst fi reworks display for my granddaughter, Quinci Jo. She watched the fi re-works with huge eyes as the colors grabbed her at-tention and if they didn’t the loud booms did. I was so lucky to have shared it with her and with my family. Some of the rela-tives and their friends also spent the day on the lake boating, but Quinci and I stayed indoors.

The Macon County Commission and the City of La Plata have both is-sued a Burn Ban. Its hard to believe that there won’t be many fi reworks this year. I wonder how long fi reworks last when stored in the garage? I’ve ran across some before that my brother forgot about, fi gure I’m bad enough with new ones, don’t even wanna think about shooting off old ones.

While in my travels this weekend I noticed that fuel prices in Macon County were $3.29 per gallon, the further south I got, the less it was. $3.19

in Columbia, $3.09 on I-70 and at Casey’s in St. Clair, $2.99. I really don’t un-derstand why it shouldn’t be the same all over the countryside. But didn’t seem to bother too many, as the roads were bumper to bumper and people were traveling for the weekend. I really hate it when a holi-day falls in the middle of the week. I guess when that happens, we should get to have fun twice, the weekend before and the weekend after.

Next weekend I’ll be in town, as Friday evening, July 6th, I will be the Mas-ter of Ceremonies at the “Trivia Night” hosted by the La Plata Ladies Soror-ity at the American Legion building, a fundraiser for the Jerry Thomas fam-ily AND the Nate Davison family! Two great families that need our help at this point in their lives.

Also on Saturday, my nephew, Derrick is get-ting married. I’m going to watch him tie the knot to a young lady from Bevier. He’s been in boot camp and is headed for the Army after his nuptials. Fighting for our country, makes me so proud of him, go Red, White and Blue!!

Keep It Kool,Bec
