FEMA reps in West Plains, Willow Springs, Mtn. View Howell County Emergency Management Director Mike Coldiron says, “Now that we have received our Federal Disaster Declaration, FEMA Representatives are now in West Plains, Willow Springs and Mountain View as well as out in Howell County making door to door visits for the next few weeks. They will have identification and will be asking questions that if you want to apply for assistance you will need the following information ready for them or when you apply online. Social Security number (one per household), Address of the damaged home or apartment, Description of the damage, Information on any insurance coverage, Telephone number, Mailing address, Bank account and routing numbers for direct deposit of funds. Not everyone may get a personal visit and if not, you can register for assistance and your information will be taken. FEMA has established a toll-free number and website where flood survivors can go to register for IA (Individual Assistance services). If you have any questions on a FEMA representative that visits you as to legitimacy, you can contact your local Law Enforcement office. We urge folks to go ahead and register for assistance and not wait for a FEMA recovery center to open. The assistance registration deadline is generally only 60 days from when the declaration is made, so people should register immediately to avoid any risk of missing the deadline. They can find general information about federal assistance at www.fema.gov/individual-disaster-assistance. When they are ready to register for assistance, they can go to www.disasterassistance.gov/. They can also call FEMA’s helpline at 1-800-6213362, which is available from 6 a.m.-10 p.m. CT, 7 days a week. The Registration number is 800621-FEMA (3362)”

Ashcroft discusses voter ID Missouri Secretary of State John R. Ashcroft spoke at the Mtn. View Community Center on Monday, June 12 about the Missouri’s photo ID requirements for voting. “Real ID and non-real ID will work on this,” stated Ashcroft on the photo ID requirements. “The reason for the photo ID requirements is due to problems with voter fraud.” If you’re a registered voter, you can vote. Missouri’s photo ID requirement for voting began June 1, 2017. That means in any election after that date, you will be asked to show a photo ID before you vote. Here’s how it works: Show a government-issued photo ID including driver’s license, non-driver license, passport or
military ID. Sign the provided statement and show one of the following: voter registration card; ID from a Missouri university, college, vocational or technical school; utility bill; bank statement; government check; paycheck; other government document showing your name and address Vote a provisional ballot. There are two ways your vote counts. If your signature matches the signature in the voter registry, your vote counts. If you come back to your polling place and show a photo ID, your vote counts. If you do not possess a photo ID and want one to vote visit ShowIt2Vote.com for more information.

Flood assistance centers open throughout state A FEMA Disaster Recovery Centers have opened throughout the State of Missouri in response to the 2017 flooding. “We’re going to be working closely with the federal government, local governments, and citizens to make sure people get what they need. This recovery is just starting. We’re in it for the long haul—and we’re in it together.” Governor Eric Greitens Governor Greitens’ statement holds true as state agencies continue to work closely with local communities and FEMA to coordinate getting relief resources to those in need. Already this week, a FEMA Disaster Recovery Center opened in Van Buren (Carter County), which operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. On Saturday, June 10, two additional recovery centers will open in Arnold (Jefferson County) and Pacific (Franklin County). They will also be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., seven days a week. Disaster Recovery Centers provide help
applying for FEMA assistance, answers to assistance questions, and U.S. Small Business Administration loan application assistance. Check for locations and announcements about additional recovery center openings at recovery.mo.gov. If you were affected by the flooding, be sure to apply with FEMA at www.DisasterAssistance.gov or by calling 800621-FEMA (3362) as soon as possible.Homeowners, renters and business-owners are encouraged to register with FEMA before visiting a disaster recovery center.

It’s that time of the year when we’re bound to see some variety of snakes if we spend any time outside. Just this week, I had to move a 4’ black snake to get to my mower in the barn, and then I rescued a banded snake from one of my rain barrels. I know they’re both harmless, myself, but for those who aren’t up-to-par on snake identification, stop by the library and check out a book on the subject. With a bit of research, you’ll find there really are some “good” snakes after all. Summersville Library will be an even busier place beginning on July 3rd when we kickoff registration for our “Build A Better World” Summer Reading Program with a “Build Your Own Sundae” party at 1 p.m.! Participants will make their own ice cream sundaes, register for the summer reading program, and make a take-home craft that day. During the month-long program, activities will be held each Monday and Friday, wrapping up with an awards party on July 28. Mark your calendars now for Monday, August 21! We’ll be celebrating the celestial event of the century – the 2017 Solar Eclipse – with activities and a Watch Party! Watch this column for news update on all of our upcoming events. The Books/Movies/Audio Books-For-Sale book cart is always packed with bargains, so come check it out just inside the door of the library or outside the door during nice weather. The Summersville Friends of the Library group still has a few SUMMERSVILLE LIBRARY ROCKS book bags for sale, too! The Summersville Friends of the Library group usually meets at the library on the 2nd Monday of each month at 5 p.m., but a special planning meeting will be held on June 26 to finalize the “Build Your Own Sundae” party for our library’s Summer Reading Kickoff on July 3rd. Meetings are informal. New members are invited to join this active group in supporting and participating in the continuing growth of the Summersville Branch Library.

Fighting for a Safe & Secure Nation
Would you leave your home unlocked or your car doors wide open? Probably not. But right now, America’s borders are about as secure as an open fence line with a herd of cattle. That’s why this week I voted to give Customs and Border Protection more resources to secure our border by making it easier for them to hire our brave military veterans and law enforcement officers. Securing our border is one of mine and President Trump’s top priorities, and this bill is one of many actions I have taken to protect Americans from the dangers of a weak border. Previously, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, I voted for legislation that will provide a strong enforcement strategy and strengthen the security of our country. The Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement Act, also known as the SAFE Act, grants state and local law enforcement officials the authority to enforce federal immigration laws. It also strengthens national security, protects American communities from dangerous criminal aliens, improves visa security, aids U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in doing their jobs, and strengthens border security. I have also introduced legislation to defund sanctuary cities. It is completely unacceptable for more than 300 cities and counties in America to prevent the Department of Homeland Security from protecting our citizens and effectively enforcing our immigration laws. We are a nation of law and order, and cities that actively work against the law of the land should face consequences. That’s why I introduced the No Transportation Funds for Sanctuary Cities Act to cut off the spigot of federal funds to cities and counties that fail to work with us to make America safe. The bottom line is that Missourians federal tax dollars should not be going to fund sanctuary cities like San Francisco. It is the number one responsibility of the federal government to keep American citizens safe. President Trump has already asked the Secretary of Homeland Security to “take all appropriate steps to immediately plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border.” As I work with the Trump Administration to secure our borders, I will continue to fight to make sure keeping you and your family out of harm’s way remains Congress’ top priority.

Values for 2017 are finalized according to Howell County Assessor Daniel Franks and change notices will be appearing in mailboxes very soon. Some residential properties were reassessed due to market changes with the majority of those located in the city limits of West Plains. “The increases are limited to residential land only as indicated by the sales information available to
the Assessor’s Office” said Franks. He continued “most properties received a 2%-3% increase in assessed value which was needed to bring the values into compliance with state statutes.” Reassessment is mandated by state statutes every odd numbered year and values may change on all properties based upon local market conditions. Franks also stated the Assessor’s Office is still reviewing the recent flood areas and making adjustments in val-
ue based upon visible damage. Franks encourages anyone who receives a valuation change notice to review it carefully and contact the Assessor’s Office if they have any questions. He would like to remind property owners the Assessor’s Office does not set the amount of taxes you pay they only appraise the property. The Assessor’s Office may be contacted by calling 417256-8284.

Mtn. View resident receives Ozarks Teacher Corps Scholarship Dawn Gastineau, of Mountain View, is a new member of the Ozarks Teacher Corps scholarship program, which will provide a $4,000, two-year renewable scholarship ($8,000 total) in return for her commitment to teach in a rural district after her graduation from Missouri State University – West Plains.
Gastineau, who is studying elementary education at MSU-West Plains, was one of ten college students awarded scholarships in the new Ozarks Teacher Corps group recognized this spring at the Rural Schools Rendezvous in Springfield. In return for the scholarships, which cover their junior and senior years, the
students commit to teaching for at least three years in a rural school. The students also will serve as teacher interns and explore rural education issues as part of their studies. The Ozarks Teacher Corps scholarships are made possible by the Chesley and Flora Lee Wallis Scholarship Fund, created by gener-
ous donors committed to ensuring advanced education for Ozarks students. The fund supports students involved in the Rural Schools Partnership, an initiative of the Community Foundation of the Ozarks dedicated to strengthening rural schools as anchors of their communities. The Ozarks Teacher
Corps was established in 2010 with its first group of recipients; since then, more than 90 percent of the students who began the program have been successfully placed as teachers in rural Ozarks school districts. The OTC students meet as a group four times a year for field experiences and training opportunities.

General studies degree a great starting point at MSU-West Plains The Associate of Arts (AA) in General Studies degree is considered the flagship degree program at Missouri State University-West Plains for many reasons. First and foremost, it allows area students to complete their general education requirements close to home before transferring to Missouri State University-Springfield or another institution to complete a bachelor’s degree. “When we go to events like High School Extravaganzas and Red Carpet Days, we really push the transferability aspect of the degree,” said Judy Carr, associate professor of psychology/sociology. But there are other advantages to the AA-General Studies degree besides its transferability. “A lot of people ask the question,
‘Why do I need the 60-hour degree?’” Carr said. “Because colleges will accept the degree as your first two years of college. You may still have to take some prerequisite courses within your major, but they will not pick apart your degree; you will start there as a junior.” The AA-General Studies also provides a great opportunity for students who are undecided on their majors to explore subject areas. “As an academic adviser, I often hear students say they want to complete the AA in General Studies here so they can get the ‘basics’ done before moving on to their chosen major at a fouryear institution,” said Cindy Bridges, coordinator of the Advisement and Academic Coaching Center for Em-
Grizzly Basketball Camps set for June, July Area youngsters interested in developing or honing their basketball skills can sign up for camps being hosted by Chris Popp and Reggie Freeman, head coach and assistant coach, respectively, of the Missouri State University-West Plains Grizzly Basketball team. The first is a skills camp for boys and girls entering first through sixth grade which is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon each day June 26 through June 28, and the second is a shooting camp for boys and girls entering first through 12th grade set for 9 a.m. to noon July 17 through July 19. Both camps will be held at the West Plains Civic Center, 110 St. Louis St.
The skills camp will involve fundamental work in many areas of the game, including ball handling, footwork, shooting and defense, Popp said. “We will also have fun with camp games and competition,” he added. The shooting camp will be more deliberate, concentrated work on what it takes to be a great shooter, Popp explained. The fee for each camp is $45 per person. Registrations can be submitted online at http://www.grizzlybasketballcamps.com/index. cfm. For more information about the camps, visit the camp website or call 417255-7991.
powering Student Success (AACCESS). “While it is true the AA in General Studies is designed as a transfer degree and for students to complete the general education requirement for most bachelor degrees, the program offers more than just the basics. Students will find they have many more courses and topics from which to choose to complete areas of the degree, such as the humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and public issues, to name a few.” The degree requires 12 credit hours of elective courses, which gives students the ability to explore those topics. “Electives can provide an opportunity for students to ‘try out’ various areas of study to see what sparks their interests,” Bridges said. “Alternatively, students who have determined the major they plan to pursue may be able to take courses toward that chosen major and also fulfill the needed elective hours. While the AA in General Studies does transfer to Missouri State’s Springfield campus as meeting the general education requirement, it also transfers well to many other four-year institutions. We do advise students to check with the receiving institution to see how specific courses will transfer toward their selected major. “Whether students choose to begin their college education journey with Missouri State-West Plains then transfer to Missouri State University’s Springfield campus or another institution, or stay in West Plains to complete a bachelor or higher-level degree through Missouri State’s Outreach programs, they will be off to a strong start with the AA in General Studies,” Bridges added. Affordability is another reason to start at Missouri State-West Plains. Tuition rates are well below the state average for two-year public institutions – $3,880 per academic year compared to $4,691 (out-of-district costs) – and even greater when compared to four-year public institutions, which average $7,860 per year. And, thanks to the many financial aid opportunities available at Missouri State-West Plains, which range from the A+ Program to Pell Grants, in addition to many institutionally and privately funded scholarships, the already low costs can be even further offset. Nikki Rieken, formerly of Ava, chose to pursue the
AA-General Studies at Missouri State-West Plains because, as she puts it, it “was exactly what I needed. “After high school, I didn’t know what career path I wanted to pursue. Missouri State-West Plains gave me the chance to take classes in multiple subject areas and find what I was passionate about,” Rieken said. Because of that opportunity, she discovered she was passionate about business and law. “My degree transferred easily to the University of Missouri, and I was able to hit the ground running and was not behind any other students as I pursued my business degree.” Rieken is currently finishing her first year in law school at the Texas A&M University School of Law in Fort Worth. “Missouri StateWest Plains prepared me for my future classes at the University of Missouri and at
Texas A&M,” she said. Tori York, Highlandville, also used her time at Missouri State-West Plains to decide what she ultimately wanted to do. She developed a passion for English and psychology, and took every class she could in those areas. “What was beneficial to me about my degree program was that it was incredibly flexible,” she said. “Rather than get my AA in Teaching or something else, I could do a bunch of electives to kind of feel out what I wanted to do, but they were still counting towards my degree. I came to West Plains unsure of my career path, and the first year of classes I took many electives to figure out what I didn’t want to do. By the end, I knew I wanted to pursue a bachelor’s in English education.” York graduated with her Bachelor of Science in English Education in May at
Missouri State in Springfield and will begin a master’s program for secondary school counseling this summer. She credits her work at Missouri State-West Plains for putting her on the right career path. “Missouri State-West Plains and the classes there helped me not only figure out where I wanted to go, but they also got me there with the sizes, the staff, and the rigor levels,” she explained.

Mercy St. Francis celebrates quality, safety milestone
How to Hire a Home Helper Dear Savvy Senior, I would like to hire a personal assistant/home helper for my mom to assist with some simple household chores like house keeping, errand running, driving her to the doctor, and keeping her company. But mom doesn’t require personal/physical caregiving nor does she require any home medical care. Any tips to help us find someone? Looking for Mom Dear Looking, Getting your mom some help at home to handle some of her household chores can make a big difference keeping her independent longer. Here’s what you should know, along with some tips to help you find someone reliable for your mom. Home Helpers For seniors who could use some help at home – but don’t need a caregiving aide for personal care – there are a bevy of personal assistance/home helpers out there that can help make life a little easier. Most home helpers can assist with any number of things like shopping, running errands, transportation, light house keeping, laundry, meal preparation, arranging services (home maintenance, lawn care, etc.) and other household chores, along with providing companionship and support. And, if your mom gets to the point she needs personal/physical care like bathing or dressing, they can usually help with this too. Most home helpers are part time workers who work a few hours a day or a few days per week. You also need to know that while Medicare does cover home health care services if a doctor orders it, they do not cover home helper/personal assistant services. There are two ways in which you can go about hiring someone for your mom; either through a home care agency, or you can hire someone directly on your own. Home Care Agency Hiring a home helper through a non-medical home care, or non-medical companion care agency is the easiest, but most expensive option of the two. Costs run anywhere from $12 up to $30 an hour depending on where you live and the qualification of the assistant/aide. How it works is you pay the company, and they handle everything including assigning appropriately trained and prescreened staff to care for your mom, and finding a fill-in on days her helper cannot come. Some of the drawbacks, however, are that you may not have much input into the selection of the aide, and the helpers may change or alternate, which can cause a disruption. To find a home care agency in your area, Google “non-medical home care” followed by the city and state your mom lives in, or you can use Medicare’s home health agencies search tool Medicare.gov/hhcompare. Most home health agencies offer some form of non-medical home care services too. You can also check your local yellow pages under “home healthcare services.” Hiring Directly Hiring a personal assistant/home helper on your own is the other option, and it’s less expensive. Costs typically range between $10 and $20 per hour. Hiring directly also gives you more control over who you hire so you can choose someone who you feel is right for your mom. But, be aware that if you do hire someone on your own, you become the employer so there’s no agency support to fall back on if a problem occurs or if the assistant doesn’t show up. You’re also responsible for paying payroll taxes and any worker-related injuries that may happen. If you choose this option make sure you check the person’s references thoroughly, and do a criminal background check. To find someone, ask for referrals through friends or check online job boards like CraigsList.org, or try Care.com, CareLinx.com, CareFamily.com or CareSpotter.com. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
More than half a century ago, a “bright haven in the Ozarks” received an internationally-recognized symbol of quality. Every year since, Mercy St. Francis Hospital has lived up to that benchmark of delivering quality, safe care. “There is a group of eight wonderful Sisters,” wrote Arthur L. Magill, a field representative with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, in March 1962. Magill was among the surveyors who first visited what was then St. Francis Mountain View Memorial; just weeks later, the hospital received its first accreditation. The Joint Commission, founded in 1951, is the
country’s oldest and highest standard-setting group in health care. The independent, not-for-profit organization surveys hospitals and health care organizations unannounced, consulting with doctors and nurses, as well as quality and safety experts, to review standards and make recommendations for improvement. “Sister Cornelia and her very pleasant group of Sisters, as well as the medical staff, worked very diligently to raise the level of patient care to the highest possible degree,” wrote Magill. His letter – alongside a framed photo of Sister M. Cornelia Blasko holding the first certificate – remains prominently placed in the halls of the fa-
cility. Click here to see. “It is a rare occurrence when a relatively small hospital received the high recognition and approval on a national scale,” Sister Cornelia was quoted saying to the local paper in 1962. Just six years prior, she and the Daughters of St. Francis of Assisi traveled to Mountain View in response to a call for help, working tirelessly to reopen the abandoned building. “The standards for a fully accredited hospital are very high and it is a tribute to the Sisters and the medical staff, nursing and administrative staff to have received it.” Mercy St. Francis Hospital has been re-accredited by the Joint Commission every year
since. “I’m so proud that our facility has been able to keep up with something that Sister Cornelia worked so hard to achieve many years ago,” said Cindy Weatherford, Mercy St. Francis Hospital administrator. “Our community deserves to have a hospital with very high standards, and we owe it to our incredible co-workers and the Sisters before us for keeping that mission alive.” Mercy St. Francis Hospital, which recently celebrated its 60th anniversary in the Mountain View community, is located at 100 U.S. Highway 60 in Mountain View, Missouri.

The dinner is free, but reservations are required and can be made by calling 417-257-6793. OMC is encouraging everyone to attend. Stopping a stroke in time can make all the difference in someone’s life. Attending an OMC Stroke Education Dinner turned out to be a life-changing event for Ellen Drapkin, who suffered a stroke at home in the middle of the night two years ago. When she fell out of bed, her husband Ed recognizes the FAST symptoms he had learned at an OMC Stroke Education Dinner and called 911, saying, “I think my wife is having a stroke.” First responders activated the stroke alert and because of Ed’s quick action, Ellen has made a complete recovery and is back to driving, working and doing the things she enjoys. “When someone is suffering from a stroke, time and expertise are critically important from the first second.” said Dr. Applegate. “We are extremely proud of our stroke program and the team of professionals who respond quickly and efficiently to stroke, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” In 1996, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA) for acute ischemic stroke. At the time when most practitioners were
being first exposed to the literature concerning tPA, Dr. Applegate began the Stroke Team at OMC. She saw the benefits of tPA and began a mission that has spanned two decades to educate the community that stopping a stroke in time can make all the difference in someone’s life. This mission continues today for Dr. Applegate as her passion for the cause is evident to anyone who has the chance to visit with her. “It is essential that at the first signs of stroke, people need to come in to the hospital and be evaluated. Even if it turns out to not be a stroke, it is so important that they be seen.” OMC’s multidisciplinary stroke team is made up of nurses, physicians, neurologists, ambulance services, therapists and Emergency Department workers who respond to stroke. Washington University in St. Louis provides tele-stroke coverage when a local provider is not available, enabling OMC to offer 24/7 stroke coverage. According to Dr. Applegate, the first step is that people need to be aware and call 911. All of the EMS systems (ground and air ambulances) recognize that stroke is an emergency and that every minute counts, so as soon as
the 911 call comes in, EMS notifies the stroke team at OMC to be on alert. When the patient arrives at the hospital the stroke is confirmed by the doctors and CT scan is done right away. CT scan of the head must be done to avoid giving clot buster to someone with a hemorrhage or another problem. The “clot busting drug,” tPA, may be given immediately if the diagnosis is confirmed and there are no other medical reasons the patient cannot receive it. “The quicker someone can receive care for a stroke, the better the outcomes for their long-term health may be,” Dr. Applegate said. “Having a trained stroke response team ready to act allows us to rapidly identify and assess a patient’s condition. It is not always possible to prevent a stroke, but with timely, evidence-based care, it is possible to prevent many of the complications of stroke.” Dr. Applegate said it is critical for those who may be experiencing a stroke to act fast and call 911. “Even if you are close to the hospital, it is important to call 911,” she said. “The technicians can begin treatment in the ambulance and can notify the Emergency Department to put the OMC Stroke Team
on alert.” The clot buster, tPA must be given within a 3 hours from the start of stroke symptoms. The American Heart Association reports the percentage of stroke patients nationwide receiving the recommended treatment has dramatically increased over the last several years. “OMC has worked diligently to educate the community on the importance of fast action. We are striving for all patients who come to be treatable, but that depends upon the community. Too often, people wait to see if they’ll get better. If they wait too long, we cannot administer tPA,” according to Dr. Applegate. “We have been providing stroke care since 1997 and with each year, we do a little better, as more people recognize that stroke is an emergency.” The signs of stroke are easy to remember using the acronym FAST (face, arm, speech, time): Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty and Time to call 911. For more information on stroke, contact the OMC Neurosciences Center at 417-2576777. To make reservations to attend the free educational dinner June 20, call 417-2576793.

Discover Nature with story time, frog gigging and canning The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) has several programs coming up in June to keep Ozarks families busy. MDC Naturalist Erin Tuttle said Little Stinkers story time and a Canning Workshop is coming up at Twin Pines and MDC’s Ozark Regional Office in West Plains will host a Frog Gigging Clinic for youth. Preschool aged children will love Little Stinkers’ story time at Twin Pines Conservation Education Center, Wednesday, June 21, at 10 a.m. This month’s story is “The Foolish Tor-
toise” by Richard Buckley. In the story, the tortoise decides he is too slow and decides his shell is causing a problem. When the tortoise sheds his shell, he finds out he is exposed to many new dangers. Children will learn about the value and safety of moving slow and how the shell protects the tortoise. There will be a game, craft, and song planned around the theme of the story. Parents should call (573)325-1381 to reserve a seat for their children by June 13. Twin Pines will host a Canning Workshop for
ages 16 and up Saturday, June 24, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Class size is limited, so reservations are required by June 16. Call (573)3251381 to reserve a seat. “Nature produces an abundance of foods, each in its own season,” Tuttle said. “We will teach how to preserve nature’s bounty through canning.” Children ages 10 to 15 will enjoy a Frog Gigging Clinic hosted by MDC’s Ozark Regional Office in West Plains. “Frogging” is a great way to introduce kids to hunting. “Most youngsters enjoy
chasing a jumping, splashing, evasive frog around weeds and water,” said John Ackerson, MDC fisheries biologist and coordinator of the frog gigging clinic. Space is limited, so reservations must be made in advance by calling (471)2567161 by June 28. Twin Pines also has a kid’s fishing pond, unmanned archery range, trails and exhibits available to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Go online to mdc. mo.gov/TwinPines to learn Gigging Clinic - Children ages 10 to 15 will enjoy a Frog more about these and other Gigging Clinic hosted by MDC’s Ozark Regional Office in upcoming nature programs.

MoDOT allows overweight loads of debris from flood-impacted areas In an effort to aid in the removal of debris from areas impacted by flooding in several areas of Missouri, private and for-hire motor carriers may carry up to 10 percent more than their licensed weight on Missouri highways. However, the heavier loads are not allowed to use interstate routes. Overweight permits will not be required. All other traffic and motor carrier regulations that normally apply remain in place. This 60-day waiver begins Saturday, June 10, and will continue through Wednesday, August 9, 2017. While the waiver is in effect, participating motor carriers are limited to: - A loaded, gross weight no greater than ten percent above the gross licensed weight of the commercial motor vehicle; - Transport of debris is only allowed from an area directly impacted by flooding within
the state of Missouri. - When crossing a bridge, the driver must restrict the vehicle speed to no more than 30 miles per hour and must center the truck between two lanes of the bridge. The truck driver must yield to oncoming traffic. - Travel is not allowed over bridges that have a weight capacity less than the gross weight of the vehicle. - Travel only on highways other than Missouri interstate highways – NO TRAVEL IS ALLOWED ON MISSOURI INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. - Approval from local officials may be required for travel with heavier weights on local county and/or city roads. All travelers are advised to visit the MoDOT Traveler Information Map at www. modot.org for up-to-date road closure information.
