Berger, Mo. – While no one was injuried in Saturday's crash 35-year-old Ami Turner of Desoto, Mo was arrested and charged with a DWI.
Saturday evening shortly before 6 p.m. New Haven/Berger Fire Department responded for a second vehicle rollover in as many days.
The accident occurred just west of the Franklin/Gasconade County line on Highway 100 in the area of Berger Road.
The driver of a white Mazda truck easily could have been the cause of a catastrophic crash, fortunately both the driver and passenger walked away uninjured, most importantly there was no oncoming vehicle when she crossed the center line.

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.”
