Citizens Bank & AT&T Team Up Promoting "It Can Wait" Texting Campaign

New Haven, Mo. –Citizens Bank has teamed up with AT&T to promote driving without texting through the “It Can Wait” campaign provided by AT&T.  The campaign is designed to promote Awareness, Commitment, and Influence in hopes of curving a growing epidemic by asking students and parents to sign a pledge not to text and drive.

Part of Friday afternoon’s assembly at New Haven High School, students watched “The Last Text” as seen in the video above, a 10-minute documentary that features real stories of lives drastically altered – or even ended – because of texting while driving.

Representative Dave Schatz, for the first time spoke publically about how texting and driving personally affected him and his family.

New Haven, Mo. - In its 47th year, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Scholar Athlete program honors a student from every area school, a requirement being that they participate in athletics and excel in the classroom.

It should come at no surprise that Kelsey Pecaut has been named New Haven High School’s recipient of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch Scholar Athlete Award.  Pecaut and approximately 175 of her peers will be honored on the field at Busch Stadium, Wed., May 15 before the Cardinals take on the New York Mets.

Pecaut has compiled an impressive resume both as a student and an athlete during her four years at New Haven.  Most recently Pecaut officially signed a letter of intent to further her volleyball career at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo.

Kelsey has received countless awards recognizing her athletic and academic achievements along with being “respected by everyone from her fellow students, teammates, coaches, and teachers,” New Haven High School Principal Tim Strobel said.

Time fly’s when you’re having a good time and yet it feels like yesterday when the 2013 senior class embarked on their journey through Washington D.C. and New York.

Tonight’s final video recap took a group effort to try and summarize the past few days with so much to talk about yet little time to do so. 

Another example of the administration's priorities placing fish and wildlife above human life and property

 This handout photo provided by the US Geological Survery (USGS), taken near Westhope, N.D., shows the Souris River at the peak for the great Souris River flood of 2011, with equipment stored in cooler bolted to roof of gage house because water level was above gage house shelf

Tom Waters Missouri Levee & Drainage District Association submitted this article published earlier this morning.

Waters commented on the article saying, "It is disturbing that the Obama Administration can find $70 Million for construction for Missouri River Fish and Wildlife Recovery in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, (FY2014 President's Budget) and at the same time sees fit to close critical flood-warning gauges when flooding is imminent in the Midwest."

WASHINGTON –  More than 100 crucial gauges that warn of imminent flooding or lack of needed water will be shut down starting next month as part of the federal government's automatic budget cuts.
Some are in the nine states threatened with spring flooding, U.S. Geological Survey officials said in interviews with The Associated Press.

Facebook Post About Dogs Being Stolen May Not Be Completely Accurate

Krakow, Mo. - Yesterday, the Krakow Veterinary Clinic posted on their Facebook page that there has “been multiple reports of dogs being stolen from the Leslie, Mo. area.”  They also stated that, “They [suspects] have broken into outdoor enclosures, cut fences, etc.”

Franklin County Sheriff Gary Toelke told QuickNewsNow this afternoon, “We had some reports about a van in the Lonedell area about three months ago.  Since then we have only received two reports of missing dogs; one being in the Leslie area.”

The Sheriff’s department has not received any reports of broken outdoor enclosures or cut fences as the Vet Clinic’s Facebook post suggests.  “In no way are we discrediting what was posted on Facebook.  We simply have not received any reports confirming their post” Sheriff Toelke added.

Franklin Top Turkey Harvest County - Expert Says Best Hunting Still Ahead

JEFFERSON CITY–In spite of less than ideal weather, hunters shot 21,437 turkeys during the first week of Missouri’s three-week spring hunting season.

This year’s first-week harvest is 328 fewer than last year, a 1.5-percent decrease. That small difference is fairly insignificant, according to Resource Scientist Jason Isabelle with the Missouri Department of Conservation. He says the first-week harvest number is encouraging considering the weather that many hunters had to contend with.
