The National Weather Service has issued a 'Significant Weather Advisory' for our area to be in effect through 11:30 this evening.
Free C.E.R.T. training coming in June
When widespread disaster strikes, emergency agencies will likely be overwhelmed. People will have to rely on each other for hours or even days. Under these conditions, experience shows that family members, neighbors, and co-workers will try to help. Following the 1985 Mexico City Earthquake, untrained spontaneous volunteers saved 800 people. In the chaos, 100 rescuers lost their lives. Training can prevent such a tragedy.
This class will provide essential life-saving functions while waiting for the professional responder to arrive. Each class is approximately 24 contact hours and is spread over a 3-week period. The first class will be from 7pm to 10pm, June 11 at the Montrose Senior Citizens building. Students will decide the times for the rest of the class sessions. For more information, please contact Tom at tom@kaysinger.com.

Missouri on the Move
From the desk of Senator David Pierce
Many bills are discussed when the Senate is in session. Every week, members of Senate committees meet to discuss legislation, to hear public testimony, and use those opinions to move legislation forward or stop it.
House Bill 1150 is a bill relating to salvage titles for vehicles. A salvage vehicle is a damaged vehicle that would cost the insurance company more to fix than to purchase. This measure allows for vehicles registered with a salvage title to be reregistered with an operational title without requiring the physical appearance of the vehicle returning to its original state. An owner may apply for this reinstatement by supplying the Department of Revenue (DOR) a statement regarding how the salvaged item came into the current owner’s possession and its current location, as well as proof of the make, model, year, vehicle identification number, and current retail value of the vehicle, and the required fee for reinstatement.
