Frustration and the internet

There's a saying that 'the internet never works when  you really want it to work' and sometimes that's true- or so it seems. At any rate, a possible increase of internet usage and traffic over the holidays has resulted in some comments to us that the Bates County Live web site is not working correctly- asking for passwords, pages not loading, etc. Like most web sites, we do depend somewhat on other web sites, links or third party connections to get you to the news. This would include Facebook and Twitter links, RSS feeds and email. Unfortunately these services sometimes get bogged down making it temporarily impossible to access the news.


The solution- If you ever have problems linking to our web page, try instead going directly to our home page at www.BatesCountyLive.com or try our mirror site www.BatesCountyNews.com. Bookmark the page and add to your favorites- this should eliminate most of the problems mentioned above. 


As always, if you have repeated problems you may email us at bateswire@hotmail.com any time and we'll try to get them solved asap.

MSHP announces anti-texting while driving campaign

Colonel Ron Replogle, superintendent of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, announced the agency’s newest safety campaign---an anti-texting while driving message---will be taken “on the road”. Stickers with the campaign logo will be affixed to all Patrol vehicles. The anti-texting while driving campaign is intended to encourage Missouri’s motorists to put down their phones and prevent traffic crashes from the dangerous distraction of texting while driving.

“Inattention is a leading cause of traffic crashes,” said Colonel Replogle. “If you’re focused on sending a text message, then you aren’t paying attention to your driving. Cell phone usage -- particularly texting while driving can lead to tragic consequences. These consequences are easily preventable if drivers would simply put down their phones and focus on the road."

Col. Replogle added that the campaign complements Missouri’s current anti-texting law, which prohibits use of texting devices for drivers 21 years of age and younger. He called on all Missouri drivers to honor the letter and the spirit of the law--regardless of age--and stop texting while driving to help make Missouri’s highways safer for all motorists. Missouri is one of 38 states in the nation to enact some type of anti-texting legislation.

In 2009, cell phone usage while driving contributed to more than 1,780 traffic crashes in Missouri.  In the first half of 2010, there were 791 traffic crashes related to the use of cell phones behind the wheel resulting in eight fatalities and 239 injuries. Additionally, in this same time period, there were 17,535 crashes where distracted driving has been cited as a contributing cause.
