During the summer, heat and humidity can cause serious 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 precautions 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 Macon County Health Department and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services remind residents that it’s not only the very young and very old who are affected. Remember these basic tips from your local health department 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 vehicles. · Drink plenty of water and limit intake of alcoholic beverages.
· Wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothes that cover as much skin as possible. · Protect your face and head by wearing a widebrimmed hat. Wear sunscreen. · Avoid strenuous work during the warmest part of the day; use the buddy system when working in extreme heat and take frequent breaks. · Consider spending the warmest part of the day in public buildings such as libraries, schools, movie theaters, shopping malls and other community facilities. · Be aware of medications that may impair the body’s response to heat, including antihistamines, tranquilizers and some medications for heart disease. The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) monitors high temperatures and humidity 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 sensitive to the heat. Missourians suffer from heat-related illnesses, with some cases resulting in death. The heat has definitely 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. Louis sees the trend continuing in July and August. Where can you go if you are without air conditioning or if you have an air malfunction? 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 Library, during open hours, Macon Health Care Center or Loch Haven Nursing Home.

mission asks that all residents 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 believe that the fire risk is substantial and asks for caution and cooperation from all residents. The Commission also recommends caution while using Bar-b-Que grills and fireworks over the 4th of July holiday as these can pose a fire risk under the right conditions.

LOCAL NEWS American Red Cross Issues Emergency Call For Donors 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.
“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 identification 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 That? “What is a T squared?” That is the number one question we get here at T² Heating and Air Conditioning. It turns out that it can be any of several things that describes our company. “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 community and the people who
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 circles in three dimensions, and boy, does that describe how my first year as a business 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 conducting our business here at T². We work hard to get it right the first time, and we’re keeping things “square” by honoring our customers, work, and warranties 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 neighbors! We keep your money right here in the community, and are committed
to the stewardship of our environment. At the end of the day though, the name of our company is simply a nickname given to me by colleagues from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida. It was a reference to my habit of blasting through any obstacles threatening to delay my construction projects, like a tornado. The nickname has nothing to do with that big roller coaster in Kentucky known as “T² - Terror to the Second Power”. I don’t think it does anyway.

COMMENTARY COMMENT
4-H HORSE SHOW
Blonde But Blunt BY BECKY JEFFCOAT EDITOR/PUBLISHER lpnews@marktwain.net
I had a wonderful weekend visiting family in St. Clair over the past weekend. It was great to see my Aunt Sara and her family. We spent time visiting and laughing, mostly inside as the weather was horrific outside. The heat was melting paint on the walls, so to speak. But we did watch a great display of fireworks 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 fireworks fund. The beautiful colors were radiant on the clear sky and it was the first fireworks display for my granddaughter, Quinci Jo. She watched the fireworks with huge eyes as the colors grabbed her attention 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 relatives 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 issued a Burn Ban. Its hard to believe that there won’t be many fireworks this year. I wonder how long fireworks last when stored in the garage? I’ve ran across some before that my brother forgot about, figure 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
JEFFCOAT in Columbia, $3.09 on I-70 and at Casey’s in St. Clair, $2.99. I really don’t understand 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 holiday 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 Master of Ceremonies at the “Trivia Night” hosted by the La Plata Ladies Sorority at the American Legion building, a fundraiser for the Jerry Thomas family 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 getting 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!!
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.

Pastor’s Corner The 4th of July. Fireworks, ice cream, parades, Uncle Sam, picnics, baseball games. All are images that come to mind when we think of Independence Day. We celebrate freedom. July 4, 1776 is the date on the Declaration of Independence, the document 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
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.
FROM OUR READERS PASTOR THOMAS hatred and prejudice and favoritism and poverty and many other problems in our society. Freedom, ironically, comes with full surrender. Not surrender to any person or government but to Jesus Christ. Jesus can bring us true freedom. Jesus 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 surrender our selfish way of living to living the way Jesus wants us to live, in love for one another and love for God. Can you surrender your life to Jesus. C’mon. Raise the white flag. 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 flag 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

Vice President, Irene Osborn opened the meeting in the absence of President Marsha Yahl. Kathy East led in prayer. Roll call was answered with “an old home remedy�. Some were very interesting: 1. To get rid of a sore throat, eat marshmallows. 2. White bread soaked in milk is good for boils. 3. Put a small piece of bacon fat on a band-aid and apply to a pimple. Replace as needed and the pimple will disappear in a few days. 4. For a chest cold, mix turpentine and lard together, warm it, put it on both front and back, and cover with dry cloths. The Secretary’s report was unavailable and will be read at the next meeting. Irene Osborn gave the Treasurer’s report in the absence of the Treasurer, Leila Ward. Under Old Business: a note was received from Colleen Liebhart thanking us for the gift, which she planned to use for a large spool of thread and thread holder she had already ordered at Quilted Square.

She also shared a book of wedding pictures of the wedding of her granddaughter, Heather Falls to Adam Mulligan. Dora Lovingier shared some of her prized possessions: nesting dolls, an oil lamp which belonged to a grandmother, a glass basket which belonged to a grandmother, and a lamp table that belonged to a grandmother (it had been in pieces i a box and they had it put back together and then refinished for her mother, Madge Elsea). She also shared items that had belonged to friends, Beth Hall, Jean Hybarger, Louise Shouse and Bobby Ocker. Kathy East shared her last quilt, which received a blue ribbon in the Hands of Friendship Quilt Show, June 1-2, in Kirksville. The quilt was named “Hands Around the World� and featured fabrics from their travels and gloves she had collected over the years or had belonged to Kathy and her mother. Each block was labeled as to where the fabric was purchased. Dora Lovingier gave the devotions, “A Woman and a Fork� and the group repeated the Club Collect.
