For more information, Green Hills Telephone Donates School Supplies “Back to School” are three words people hear and see quite often this time of year.

Letters to the Editor Letters to the Editor do not necessarily reflect the views of The Caldwell County staff and paper Block Grain Belt Express Reaction to Clean Line Applying to the PSC for Rehearing: As expected, Clean Line filed for a rehearing with the Missouri Public Service Commission (PSC). Often losing parties in a case will exercise this option, though historically there is a low success rate. Applying for a rehearing however, is a necessary first step toward being able to appeal the case to the Missouri Court of Appeals. If Clean Line decides to appeal, the Missouri Landowners Alliance will join the PSC attorneys in defending the decision to deny Grain Belt. If the appellate court sides with Clean Line then they could send the case back to the Missouri PSC for review. We continue to be disappointed by the lack of respect shown by Clean Line to the impacted landowners, citizens, and decision makers of Missouri. They have been told no in every way possible and yet they persist in attempting to override the clear will of the people and the decision by our commissioners. The facts of the case are clear their project does not benefit and it not needed by the state of Missouri. The time has come for Clean Line to understand that no means no. Thanks, Jennifer Gatrel Block Grain Belt Express- http://blockgbemo.com/ 660-232-1280 Dear Editor: The Caldwell County Foundation Cancer Assistance Committee would like to invite you to participate in our annual fundraising event to be held Sunday, September 13, 2015 at the Penney Middle School, in Hamilton Missouri. Events are to include a whole hog dinner from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., a silent auction from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and a live auction at 1:30 p.m. The Caldwell County Foundation Cancer Assistance Committee was formed in 2007 by a group of Caldwell County residents to assist anyone in the county diagnosed with cancer. Allocation of funds is governed by volunteer board members. Our support is not to replace insurance but intended to be a supplemental support system to cover unexpected or extra needs. In 2014, we assisted 41 individuals and paid out $14,300, and our goal is to exceed this amount in 2015 which is funded in part by this fund raiser. Any support you can give us for this endeavor will be greatly appreciated. We are in need of monetary donations or items for both the silent and live auctions. For more information, please contact Julie Hill at 816-465-0232 or Mickie Cummings at 816-583-2218. Thank you for your support. Caldwell County Foundation Cancer Assistance.

August 4, 2010 A home town girl just came back to Hamilton to fulfill her career dream of taking care of animals. Kris Peck Barnes, a 2004 graduate of Penney High School, says she has wanted to be a veterinarian since she was six years old.

Kris graduated in May in a class of 70 from the University of Missouri and now joins her mentor in his Hamilton Veterinary Clinic practice. Back-to-School Organization Tips for a Successful School Year (StatePoint) When the school year begins, students need to quickly get back into the swing of things. Staying organized from day one can ease the transition. While every individual needs to tweak his or her routine to best suit personality quirks and study habits, here are a few tried-and-true organization tricks that will work for most anyone: Get Scheduled While the word “bedtime” may have no meaning on summer vacation, during the school year, it’s vital. A regular sleep schedule can mean better quality sleep and higher alertness at school. Likewise, a morning routine can help students focus and prep for the day. Family members should share their schedules with each other to ensure everyone gets to practice, club meetings and other activities on time. Install a household calendar or bulletin board in a central location to ensure everyone stays in the know. Stomp out Clutter Lockers and backpacks need to stay organized. Whether notebooks, binders and textbooks are arranged by sequence of the day, subject or color isn’t important so long as the system works for you. To create more storage space in your locker, add durable, stackable locker shelving. For on-the-go book hauling, look for a backpack such as the Five Star Expandable Backpack that features two expanding compartments providing additional space, along with protected storage for laptops. Its patented zipper allows you to quickly get inside your backpack while it’s hanging in your locker. Ergonomic patent-pending straps distribute weight to comfortably support a heavy load. Organizational tools such as these can keep your ducks in a row all year long. Also remember to set time aside weekly to clean out your locker and backpack, throwing out candy wrappers and crumpled notes. Students need to be able to keep more belongings than ever with them throughout the day -- traditional school supplies, paperwork, flash drives, calculators and other electronics. A binder that can contain it all will give students a chance to make sure their lives are in order, not just a class at a time. For a secure method of carrying supplies, look for the Trapper Keeper Zipper binder, with pockets and dividers to keep items organized, and the Five Star Zipper Binder + Expansion Pocket, which features storage for textbooks and a tablet, and has an adjustable strap that allows you to carry the binder messenger style or on your back.

Livingston County has 40 (24%) of the pending abuse or neglect cases while comprising 23% of our population. Needless to say, all of us should be concerned about the substantial increase in juvenile abuse and neglect cases. Look for the next From the Bench where I will discuss more statistics relating to our Juvenile Courts. PERSONAL NOTE: Last month I mentioned attending Margaret Carson’s 95th Birthday Bash. I also recently attended a 90th Birthday wingding for Lock Spring’s Vic Litton. Victor claimed old age had made him so lazy he would not even need Judge Chapman and Judge Elliott’s famous monopoly “Get Out of Jail Free Card”. Judges know a fib when they hear one – no one who knows Victor will ever use his name and the word lazy in the same sentence. Nutrition... GANH...

It was fun to see what different personalities like to try. I forgot what we did on National I Forgot Day! We did eat moon pies for Moon Day, while discussing where we were when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. We dodged the rain and went on van rides. Brooke, with Three Rivers Hospice, donated a cake for the birthday party. It was too hot to go out on National Drive Thru Day, so we stayed inside and made milkshakes then played Skip-Bo. On National Milk Chocolate Day we enjoyed candy bars and chocolate milk while playing a game.

From the Bench Circuit Judge R. Brent Elliott’s “From the Bench” is a series of articles designed to provide the public with a better understanding of the judicial system and changes in the law. No explanation or example utilized herein should in any way be interpreted as reflecting an opinion, approval, or disapproval of any law. A Circuit Judge’s job is to fairly and impartially apply the law, not change it. The last article discussed the county by county breakdown of pending juvenile delinquency cases in the 43rd Circuit (Caldwell, Clinton, Daviess, DeKalb, and Livingston Counties). This month I will provide statistics revealing an alarming increase in Juvenile Court abuse and neglect cases. As pointed out last month, juvenile delinquency cases involve some sort of wrongdoing on the part of a juvenile (minor under the age of 17). Abuse or neglect cases involve some sort of wrongdoing on the part of a parent or guardian that requires court intervention on behalf of the juvenile. According to 43rd Circuit Juvenile Office records, there are currently 167 juvenile abuse and neglect cases being supervised by our 43rd Circuit Juvenile Officers. This figure represents a dramatic 20% increase over the average number of abuse or neglect cases last year. The breakdown on current abuse or neglect cases is as follows: DeKalb County has 36 (22%) of the pending abuse or neglect cases while comprising 19% of the 43rd Circuit’s population. Caldwell County has 17 (10%) of the pending abuse or neglect cases while comprising 14% of our population. Clinton County has 50 (30%) of the pending Hamilton Middle School Registration Currently enrolled students: Hamilton Middle School registration will be held Tuesday, Aug. 11.

To enroll new high school students to our school district please call our number, 583-2136, after Aug. 5, to set up an appointment. At the appointment we will need doors, but fun in the sun can be dangerous when the heat and humidity rise. In addition to sun burn, heat-related illnesses including heat stroke or sunstroke can send unsuspecting victims to the hospital. The human body keeps itself cool by allowing heat to escape through the skin and by evaporating the resulting perspiration. If the body cannot cool itself enough, the person could suffer from heat-related illness. Heat stroke can progress from milder heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion, heat cramps and fainting. Illnesses caused by overheating can become serious, and even deadly, if not treated. Exposure to heat kills approximately 400 Americans annually. Everyone is susceptible to heatrelated illnesses, with even young healthy athletes succumbing to it. However, those most at risk include senior citizens, especially those living along in non-air-conditioned environments; infants and children and people with medical conditions, especially those with heart disease and high blood pressure. The classic warning symptom of a heat stroke is a body temperature that is above 104 degrees Fahrenheit, but other symptoms include fainting, dizziness and light-headedness, rapid pulse, painful muscle cramps and spasms, headache, lack of sweating despite the heat, nausea and vomiting, rapid breathing, dry, hot and red skin and behavioral changes including disorientation. If you or anyone around you has any of these symptoms, 911 should be called immediately. As you wait for emergency services, put damp and cool cloths or towels on the affected person and have them lie down until medical assistance arrives. Being alert to the symptoms of heat stroke is vital to ensuring your own health and safety as well as your friends and family. However, as Benjamin Franklin said, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and heatstroke is preventable. Take these preventative steps to prevent heatstroke this summer: ·Avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Whenever possible, reserve outdoor activities for the cooler morning and evening hours. ·Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing. Wearing too much clothing or tight clothing won’t allow your body to cool down efficiently. ·Stay well-hydrated and avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages. Staying hydrated helps you maintain a normal body temperature and drinking excessive caffeinated or alcoholic drinks can dehydrate, rather than hydrate, you. ·Eat smaller meals more frequently. Eating small, protein rich meals throughout the day keeps your energy level stabilized. ·Never leave children, adults or pets in a closed, parked vehicle. In the sun, closed car temperatures can rise from 78 degrees to 100 degrees in just three minutes. For more information on heatrelated illness prevention and treatment, visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at www. cdc.gov/extremeheat, The American Red Cross, www.redcross.org/ prepare/disaster/heat-wave and the Mayo Clinic. The summer months can be the most joyful of the year, so by following these simple tips, you can be assured that your summer is full of all the family fun that you had planned.
