Police Chief John Sheible talks with QuickNewsNow’s Kyle Quick about the possible hazards by not having a no parking zone.
Below are detailed aerial maps showing the proposed no parking zones.
New Haven, Mo. – Curbside parking has been an ongoing issue for numerous years on certain streets in New Haven. The Mayor and Police Chief have attempted at all possible from adding additional no parking zones.
However, during this month’s board of Aldermen meeting an ordinance was introduced for topic of discussion after City Administrator Steve Roth had recently received some complaints about parking issue/traffic safety hazards along sections of Miller Street.

West, Texas - Anywhere from five to 15 people have been killed in an explosion at a fertilizer plant in Texas. The blast leveled buildings, creating a burst of energy equal to a magnitute 2.1 earthquake.
There was no indication of criminal activity, Waco, Texas, police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton said early Thursday, although the area was being treated as a crime scene as a precautionary measure.
"It was a huge explosion," he said. "It reached blocks, if not miles, in its devastating effect. ... My guess is going to be that ... we will see the casualty rate rise and the injury rate rise."

Hermann, Mo. – Saturday night, I had the privilege of attending Stone Hill’s 25th Annual Ten-Year Norton Vertical Tasting.
I must admit I had no clue what a ‘vertical tasting’ was. However, it took very little time before I realized this was far more than an event to give people a reason to drink wine, this was a huge program you won’t find anywhere else.
For a quarter of a century, owners of Stone Hill Winery in Hermann, Mo, Jim and Betty Held, have shown off their Norton red wine each year since 1988. This wine is considered a more classic or “artistic” style compared to the so-called “Missouri Style” wine.

Researcher says this could lead to interventions to treat disorder
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Children and teens with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) use screen-based media, such as television and video games, more often than their typically developing peers and are more likely to develop problematic video game habits, a University of Missouri researcher found.
“Many parents and clinicians have noticed that children with ASD are fascinated with technology, and the results of our recent studies certainly support this idea,” said Micah
Mazurek, an assistant professor of health psychology and a clinical child psychologist at MU. “We found that children with ASD spent much more time playing video games than typically developing children, and they are much more likely to develop problematic or addictive patterns of video game play.”

Bruce Piasecki Explains What a Well-run Team Looks Like and Why Now More Than Ever the Power of Teams Should Trump the Appeal of the Rugged Individualist.

BALLSTON SPA, N.Y - America loves a fierce individualist. And there is something inspiring about the image of the lone enterpriser blazing a path into the future.
Yet Bruce Piasecki insists that in a world growing more complex by the day—where "command and control" has given way to employee engagement—the team trumps the individual every time. The near future will be all about innovation for sustainable value creation, led by teams.
"The days when a larger-than-life personality is allowed to steamroll over the rest of the company are over," says Piasecki, author of the new book Doing More with Teams: The New Way to Winning."

Please drive slowly in low-lying areas and "Don't Drown - Turn Around" when you see water.
Just over a month on Mar. 13 after heavy down pours throughout the day, emergency crews responded to Detmold Road for a water rescue thanks to one driver’s failed attempt of crossing three feet of water left him stranded and sitting on top the roof of his vehicle.
