Duquesne Police Department plans Fourth of July DWI crackdown
(From the Duquesne Police Department)
Duquesne, Missouri – Local police will be out in full force as part of the annual nationwide Fourth (4th) of July Holiday “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” substance impaired driving crackdown. The crackdown, which will include high visibility enforcement throughout Duquesne, will run from June 30 - July 4, 2017.
The effective nationwide substance impaired driving crackdown will include high visibility enforcement, high profile events, and will be supported by national paid advertising, creating a comprehensive campaign to curb substance impaired driving over the Fourth (4th) of July Holiday.
Duquesne Police Department said its officers will be aggressively looking for substance impaired drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving impaired.
Although it is illegal in all 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico to drive impaired (having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher), far too many people across the nation get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol. Not only are alcohol impaired drivers a threat to others, new statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicate drugged driving has now surpassed drunk driving in fatal crashes. NHTSA’s research shows in 2015, drugs were present in 43% of the fatally injured drivers more frequently than alcohol was present.
“Every year, about one third of all motor vehicle traffic deaths involve one or more substance impaired drivers or motorcycle operators,” said Chief Tommy Kitch. “In 2016, 233 people were killed and 700 seriously injured on Missouri’s roadways in crashes that involved at least one substance impaired driver.” That works out to approximately one substance impaired driver involved fatality every 1-3/4 days.
Chief Tommy Kitch added the Fourth (4th) of July holiday is particularly dangerous. During the Fourth (4th) of July holiday July1-4, 2016, two (2) people were killed and ten (10) seriously injured involving at least one substance impaired driver.
“Research has shown that high visibility enforcement like the 'Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over' campaign reduces substance impaired driving fatalities by as much as 20 percent. By joining this nationwide effort, we will make Duquesne’s roadways safer for everyone throughout the holiday,” said Chief Tommy Kitch.
“We want to remind everyone that getting behind the wheel impaired is a terrible idea. Unfortunately, not only does being under the influence impair your ability to operate a vehicle safely, it also impairs your judgment and good sense about whether you can, or should, drive. If you have any doubt about your sobriety, do not get behind the wheel. If you do chose to drive impaired, you will be arrested. No warnings. No excuses,” Chief Tommy Kitch said.
Chief Tommy Kitch noted that being arrested for driving under the influence of any substance brings a wide range of negative consequences into one’s life. Substance impaired drivers face jail time, loss of their driver licenses, and steep financial consequences such as higher insurance rates, attorney fees, court costs, lost time at work, and the potential loss of job. When family, friends and coworkers find out, violators also often face tremendous personal embarrassment.
“Driving while impaired is simply not worth the risk. So don’t take the chance. Remember, we will be out in force and we will be watching, so ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over,’” said Chief Tommy Kitch.

Highway Patrol plans DWI saturations in Jasper, Newton, McDonald counties in July
(From Highway Patrol Troop D)
Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer, Troop D, Springfield, announces that sometime during the month of July 2017, Troop D will conduct DWI saturations in Jasper, McDonald, and Newton counties. The areas selected for enforcement are based on a high number of drinking-related crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators. The sobering fact is that impaired driving contributes to nearly one quarter of all Missouri fatal traffic crashes. That’s why the Missouri State Highway Patrol will join other Missouri law enforcement agencies to crack down on impaired driving throughout the month of July.
Additionally, the Patrol will be conducting hazardous moving violation saturations in Greene, McDonald, Taney, and Webster counties. The primary goal of these projects is to positively impact traffic problems by reducing crashes. The objectives are to heighten the awareness of the risks associated with impaired driving and increase compliance of the speed limit and seat belt laws.
“The Missouri State Highway Patrol is committed to removing unsafe drivers from our highways,” said Captain Villanueva. “Saturations are part of the Patrol’s strategy to make Missouri’s roadways safer.”

Jasper Police: Follow fireworks ordinance and help us catch those who don't
It's that time of year again.
The Jasper Police Department wants to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July weekend, and would also like to remind everyone that we have issued extra ticket books to officers for 4th of July weekend, particularly for those who decide to not honor the Jasper Fireworks ordinances.
So, with that said, please follow the fireworks ordinances. If anyone see's a person(s) breaking the fireworks law, we encourage you to snap a picture if possible of the violator(s), try and identify the violator(s), and text them to Chief Chadwick @ 417-483-6261.
If an officer is not on, citations will be issued as soon as the next officer is on duty, even if JCSO is called out for a peace disturbance call involving fireworks.
JCSO has a lot of other, more important things to be dealing with than this. Unfortunately, we do not provide 24/7 coverage, so we will be counting on citizens to help us with violators when we're not on duty. We will have as much coverage as possible this weekend. So please, respect your neighbors, your town, your police and sheriff's department and pocket books by obeying the city ordinances and laws.
Thank you, and have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend.
Thank you, and have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend.
Information for those planning to attend Joplin Fourth of July Celebration
If you plan to attend or travel near the area for the Joplin Independence Day Celebration at the Joplin Athletic Complex, below is some information that you may find helpful:
- There will be plenty of parking inside the athletic complex.
- You may enter the athletic complex up until 9:45pm on Tuesday, July 4th. You may enter from 1st Street or from Tri-State Road. After 9:45, officers will began setting up the egress traffic plan and some roads will be closed.
- Street side parking will not be permitted on 1st Street, Tri-State Road, Cleveland or B Street. Vehicles parked in “no parking zones” will be towed immediately, to provide a safe area for people walking.
- We have added another exit from the sports complex this year to speed up the process. One exit will be via the main entrance, through the round-a-bout and south on Tri-State Road to 7th Street (MO 66 Highway). Tri-State will change to one way southbound at 10pm to allow the left lane to turn left on 7th toward Schifferdecker and the right lane to turn right on 7th toward Kansas. The other exit will be a gravel road on the north side of the complex. Vehicles will be directed east on B Street and will turn north on Schifferdecker. We understand that not all drivers will want to turn north, but we are doing this to speed up the process. We recommend that you take Perkins to Maiden Lane to go south if you need to from this location, and avoid the 7th and Schifferdecker intersection.
- Several officials will be directing traffic inside the athletic complex. Please be alert and watch for them. They will point you in the direction that will get you out of the park the fastest.
- Northbound Schifferdecker traffic will be diverted east only on 7th Street starting at 9:50. We suggest drivers use Main Street or Central City Road to get north and south during this time.
- Traffic delays will likely occur in this area. Priority will be given to vehicles leaving the event.
- We would like to remind drivers that several intersections will be blocked with cones. Moving or going around cones will be addressed with zero tolerance. These traffic control tools are in place to make the event safe for everyone.
- No alcohol or personal fireworks will be permitted inside the athletic complex or park.
- It is not optimal to see the fireworks from Schifferdecker Park due to the hills and trees. We urge everyone to view them from the athletic complex. When the event is over, traffic leaving Schifferdecker Park may be congested inside the park and will not be a priority to clear until the athletic complex parking is empty.
- We hope that by adding a second exit, that traffic clears quickly. This can only be done with the cooperation from everyone. Again, we understand that the egress plan to large events sometimes sends drivers in a direction other than desired, but it is necessary to keep traffic moving. Please use caution in this area. There will be a large number of pedestrian, children and vehicles in this area.

Groundbreaking held for Joplin Senior Center
City officials and representatives from the Area Agency on Aging joined together to initiate the construction of the new Joplin Senior Center during a groundbreaking ceremony today.
The 14,400-square foot Senior Center will be located on the south side of 26th Street and borders the east side of Mercy Public Park. The center provides many benefits to the senior community by offering expanded meal services, exercise classes, computer lab, health and wellness checks and counseling.
The current center received structural damage during the May 2011 tornado. In addition to the building damage, the kitchen and service areas are inadequate for the level of food service and demand, as the senior nutrition program has grown. Annually, the Senior Center provides 176,000 meals a year to senior citizens with approximately 59,000 of these distributed through the Meals on Wheels program for homebound citizens. Seating in the new center’s dining area will accommodate about 200 people.
Programming at the center has also expanded over the years and now includes fitness, health and recreational activities not originally planned for that facility. The new facility connects to walking trails for health and fitness and includes areas both indoor and outdoor for recreation.
“We’re very excited for this new center,” said Stan Heater, Chief Executive Officer of the Area Agency on Aging, the organization that will operate the center. “The enlarged and upgraded kitchen along with a designated pick-up area for meals will be great additions for our senior meal program.”
Sitting just east of Mercy Park, the building will offer a nice view as well as outdoor seating for meals and other activities. A zero-threshold design of the walking surfaces is planned, allowing a level plane without having a curb to step over as people walk from the parking lot to the sidewalk or building.
The City will also be adding a Trolley Stop at the Center, so seniors will have a new option in traveling to the Center.
“As the project team worked on the plans of the building, they focused on both the appearance and the function that would appeal to seniors,” said Mayor Mike Seibert. “The Trolley Stop is just another way to provide convenience to our community. This will be a beautiful facility that offers everything the Senior Center has now with an improved layout and some nice additions. We look forward to its completion and welcoming our seniors into the new center.”
Joplin City Council recently authorized $3.74 million to R.E. Smith Construction as the contractor for the project. Design for the project was completed by Ryan Faust with Bates Architecture of Rogers, Arkansas. Opening of the new facility is planned for summer 2018.
Funding for this project is through the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery program offered to the City of Joplin from U.S. Housing and Urban Development following the May 2011 disaster.

Highway Patrol Troop D prepared for Fourth of July weekend
(From Highway Patrol Troop D)
The Missouri State Highway Patrol will be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Crash Awareness & Reduction Effort) during the long holiday weekend. This means every available officer will be on the road enforcing traffic laws and assisting motorists. Additionally, Troop D officers will be conducting a 20-Mile Trooper project on Interstate 44 throughout the Troop D area on Friday, June 30, 2017, and Tuesday, July 4, 2017.
During this enforcement program, troopers will be assigned to 20-mile intervals in an effort to step up traffic enforcement with a goal of reducing traffic crashes over the holiday weekend. Enforcement efforts on secondary roads within Troop D will be conducted during the same time frame. Over the entire holiday weekend, troopers will be targeting all traffic violations and will be especially vigilant to excessive speed, careless and imprudent driving, and aggressive driving violations.
The Fourth of July holiday is one of the busiest boating holidays of the year and troopers will also be working on the state’s waterways to enforce Missouri’s boating laws and assist where needed. Missouri’s boaters are asked to do their part by remaining alert for other boats and swimmers, and being courteous on the water. With more boats on the water, it is even more important to pay attention when operating your vessel. Never operate a boat while you are impaired and never ride with an impaired operator. Wear a life jacket, and obey the law regarding safe operation of a vessel and no wake zones.
“We want everyone’s July Fourth Holiday to be safe and enjoyable, especially as you travel on Missouri’s highways,” stated Captain Villanueva. “I would like to urge all motorists to make sure safe driving is a part of your plans. Make sure everyone is wearing a seat belt, and never drink and drive. Should you be celebrating the holiday on the water, I want to remind everyone to ensure they are wearing an approved life jacket while in a vessel and don’t operate a vessel while drinking."
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.”
Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets save lives. Wear It!!

Missouri’s boaters are asked to do their part by remaining alert for other boats and swimmers, and being courteous on the water. With more boats on the water, it is even more important to pay attention when operating your vessel. Never operate a boat while you are impaired and never ride with an impaired operator. Wear a life jacket, and obey the law regarding safe operation of a vessel and no wake zones.
“We want everyone’s July Fourth Holiday to be safe and enjoyable, especially as you travel on Missouri’s highways,” stated Captain Villanueva. “I would like to urge all motorists to make sure safe driving is a part of your plans. Make sure everyone is wearing a seat belt, and never drink and drive. Should you be celebrating the holiday on the water, I want to remind everyone to ensure they are wearing an approved life jacket while in a vessel and don’t operate a vessel while drinking."
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober. “Don’t Violate The Trust.”
Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets save lives. Wear It!!

MSSU dental hygiene program ranks among top 50 in nation
(From Southern News Service)
The Dental Hygiene program at Missouri Southern State University ranks in the “Top 50 Dental Hygienist Schools” in the nation, according to a survey by TheBestColleges.org.
The organization strives to connect prospective students to the best degree programs available. It surveyed all accredited dental hygienist schools in the U.S. to select 50 that provide students with the best learning experience, noting that Missouri Southern “stood out with an outstanding program.”
Stacie Scrivner, registered dental hygienist and chair of the department at Missouri Southern, said the program takes pride in preparing students to excel in their field.
“We have successful clinical board pass rates of 95 percent, written board pass rates of 92 percent, and job placement of 90 percent,” Scrivner said.
Figures from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics show that employment of dental hygienists is expected to grow by 19 percent in the next eight years, much faster than the average for all occupations.
Missouri Southern State University’s dental hygiene program began in 1975. Since that time, it has been continually accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Its dental clinic offers dental cleanings, X-rays and other preventive services to children over age 5, students, people with special needs and senior citizens.

Joplin Fire Department offers fireworks safety tips
As Independence Day approaches, the Joplin Fire Department encourages citizens to keep safety in mind as they handle fireworks to avoid any problems. The public should also know and adhere to all regulations involving the sale and discharge of fireworks in the City of Joplin to provide a safer environment for their families, neighbors and the community as a whole. Also citizens are encouraged to be a good neighbor and remove any trash or debris from the fireworks they discharge.
Fireworks may be sold within the City of Joplin on July 1,2,3,4 only; and may be discharged only on July 1, 2, 3, and 4 from the hours of 12 Noon to 11 pm. The City prohibits the sale, possession or discharge of bottle rockets within the City. Any bottle rockets found will be confiscated immediately, and any variances of these rules may result in appropriate fines and confiscation of all possessed fireworks.
It should also be noted that during the set-up and event of the Independence Day Celebration at Joplin Athletic Complex, all private fireworks will be prohibited in Schifferdecker Park, Schifferdecker Golf Course and the Joplin Athletic Complex, as ordered by the Joplin Fire Chief. The notice is being posted in the interest of safety and is in accordance with the City of Joplin Code (SEC. 58.65 Item C). The order will be in effect on July 2, 3 and 4, 2016.
The notice will be posted at fireworks stands in the City of Joplin, as well as posted at the main entry points of Schifferdecker Park, Golf Course and the Athletic Complex. The Police Department has set a protocol in handling violations of this order, starting with a verbal warning to the possibility of arrest if repeated violations occur.
Other fireworks safety tips include:
Think first and foremost of SAFETY when discharging fireworks.
Follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions.
It is recommended that children do not use any firework. However, if they do, always have adult supervision.
*Only discharge fireworks in an area clear of any obstructions, and that has short grass or a noncombustible surface.
*Clear the area of any trash, wood piles, yard debris, etc.
*Make sure that everyone is a safe distance from the discharge area.
*Have a method of extinguishing devices immediately, i.e. a garden hose, bucket of water, fire extinguisher.
*DO NOT HANDLE DUDS. They may go off several minutes later.
*Always use punks to light the firework. Using lighters or matches may cause the firework to ignite prematurely.
*Do not hold a firework in your hand and light it.
*Do not discharge fireworks toward or near people, houses or other structures, flammable or combustible items.
Groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for Joplin Senior Center
(From the City of Joplin)
City officials will join representatives from the Area Agency on Aging for a significant milestone as they break ground to start the construction of the Joplin Senior Center. The groundbreaking event will be at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 29 at the new center’s location, 2616 S. Picher Avenue. The public is invited to attend the groundbreaking.

The groundbreaking event will be at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 29 at the new center’s location, 2616 S. Picher Avenue. The public is invited to attend the groundbreaking.
The 14,400-square foot Senior Center will be located on the south side of 26th Street and borders the east side of Mercy Public Park. The center provides many benefits to the senior community by offering expanded meal services, exercise classes, computer lab, health and wellness checks and counseling.
The current center received structural damage during the May 2011 tornado. In addition to the building damage, the kitchen and service areas are inadequate for the level of food service and demand, as the nutrition program has grown. Programming has also expanded over the years and now includes fitness, health and recreational activities not originally planned for that facility. The new facility connects to walking trails for health and fitness and includes outdoor areas for recreation.
Funding for this project is through the Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery program offered to the City of Joplin from U.S. Housing and Urban Development following the May 2011 disaster.

Ron Lankford to replace Barr as Joplin R-8 chief financial officer
Lankford will replace the retiring Paul Barr as chief financial officer for one year.
The veteran educator told those attending tonight's R-8 Board of Education meeting that he had come to appreciate the district during the past few months.
"You have great leadership, buildings, you're got great teachers in the classroom. This district is positioned to start moving forward after a long trial. You have gone through a lot."
Lankford said the new position is "kind of exciting," but he emphasized that it is "one year and done."
Superintendent Melinda Moss introduced Lankford's replacement as HR director, Ashley Jones.
Tonight marked the last board meeting for Barr and Interim Superintendent Norm Ridder.
Carthage Police: Do you know who these people are?
We are needing your help identifying these two subjects. If you have any information please contact us at 417-237-7200.

Neosho Big Spring Bluegrass Festival and Barbecue set for August
(From the City of Neosho)
It was born in the motherland, nurtured in the hills and hollers’ and now playing on the stage at Big Spring Park, the sweet and natural sounds of bluegrass. Music composed of voices painted with the gold of sunshine and accompaniment made by the hand of man. Sounds as from harps unstrung come from hands touching the fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and upright bass.
I wax mellow and very Dead yet I’m drawn to ballads about an itinerant dancing man with a deceased dog and a gritty tale or relaxing in a fixer-upper one room abode with a companion whom I refer to as “Sweet Baby”. All of this and more can be heard from the numerous “minstrels” present for the 4th Annual Big Spring Bluegrass and Barbeque Festival in Big Spring Park on Saturday, August 5th 2017 from 10 am to 9 pm.
It’s that time to bring the blankets, quilts, or them thar fancy folding chairs and throw down on the lawn in our beautiful historic park and enjoy a day set to the score of purest music this side of heaven. It’s a comfortable place to be, free of cockle burrs and fire ants and invaded only occasionally by a passionate ground hog.
No need to worry while you are here about how you will sustain your health as we will have many a travelin’ chuck wagon with grub and treats. Them boys will be preparin’ fresh food all day long! There’ll be pulled pork, brisket, sausages, chicken, corn on the cob, watermelon, ice cream, shaved ice, kettle korn, funnel cakes and probably more, but I seemed to have lost track of where I was goin’.
Well, let’s just take a look at the schedule for the day as we don’t want you to show up too early or stay too late!
