She was transported to Bates County Memorial Hospital for treatment.
The report indicates she was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

Local homeowner recognized in national home ownership month
“Theme for 2011 – Rural Housing/Rural Jobs”
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently kicked off National Homeownership Month and highlighted the important role housing plays in creating jobs, maintaining viable rural communities and contributing to the economy. Since the start of the current fiscal year, which began last October 1, USDA Rural Development has financed approximately 80,000 home loans for rural residents. In Missouri, during the last fiscal year, 6,200 individuals and/or families benefited with financing from USDA Rural Development to reach the American dream of homeownership!

For example, Sharon Martin of Butler, MO, recently purchased a home through the Direct Loan Program with qualified financing obtained through USDA Rural Development. With the help of her realtor, Gloria Appleberry of Glory Realty, Sharon achieved the dream of homeownership.
Vilsack said this year’s Homeownership Month theme is “Rural Housing/Rural Jobs.” Communities across the nation are holding events and activities during June to highlight USDA Rural Development’s role in providing homeownership opportunities for rural residents. USDA officials will discuss the benefits of homeownership and share information on ways families can become homeowners.
USDA Rural Development’s mission is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for rural residents. Rural Development fosters growth in homeownership, finances business development, and supports the creation of critical community and technology infrastructure.

Possible closure of Amsterdam post office- meeting scheduled
On the heels of word that the United States Postal Service would like to close the Amoret post office, now the same is true for the Amsterdam facility. Apparently, the USPS thinks those in the 64723 zip code wouldn't mind going to Drexel to take care of their mailing needs.
Here's more info offered by the concerned citizen's of Amsterdam:
"More than one person can sign the same letter (like a petition). We need as many people to come to the meeting as possible. The more people there the better. We need to pack the house. They do not have to ask any questions if they don't want too. If they do ask questions they need to have them in writing also and tell the USPS they also want the answer in writing and sent to them with Delivery Confirmation. We need to save our Rural Post Offices".
