Veterans’ Legislation Handled by Sen. David Pearce to Take Effect
JEFFERSON CITY — This week (7-2), a bill ushered through the Senate by Sen. David Pearce, R-Warrensburg, clarifying definitions of a veterans’ program in the Show-Me State was signed by the governor, adding it to the list of bills that take effect Aug. 28.
“Missouri’s veterans and their families have sacrificed so much for our freedoms,” Sen. Pearce said. “The time a deployed serviceperson spends away from home is time without their loved ones, as well as time their loved ones have to continue the daily struggle without a significant portion of the family unit. When the military member returns home, he or she deserves a helping hand to jump start their civilian life.”
House Bill 1680 renames the Heroes at Home program to the Show-Me Heroes program, in order to more accurately reflect the goals of the program. In addition, the measure adds specific definition to who can receive benefits by adding military personnel who are recently separated from military service.
The Show-Me Heroes program helps veterans in finding jobs when they get home. The program will also assist the spouse of an active military member in finding a job and will address immediate financial needs of the family of an active military member during his or her deployment and for a year following that member’s return home.
Through this program, military personnel can get assistance upon returning home with both vocational training and counseling and possible paid internships in order to increase his or her marketability in the job force and increase the chances of solid job.
“I can’t stress enough how much we have to be grateful for in this state,” Sen. Pearce said, “and it is often the veterans of Missouri we have to thank for that. It is my hope that the changes and clarifications in this legislation provide comfort for our veterans and their families, as well as a brighter, stronger future.”

Boil order in effect for Rich Hill
There is a boil order for the entire city of Rich Hill until further notice. A boil order means the water is contaminated and you are asked to boil all drinking and cooking water for at least 3 minutes. Throw away all ice made in your freezer.

Driver escapes with minor injuries in afternoon accident
 |
| A Minnesota man escaped with only what appeared to be minor injuries in a rollover accident on 71 highway about a mile north of Adrian. The accident occurred around 2 p.m. as the northbound Subaru left the right side of the roadway and rolled at least once before coming to a rest on the right shoulder. The driver was transported to Bates County Memorial Hospital for treatment. |
Police chase ends in Bates County overnight
A driver who left the scene of an accident in Cass County led to a police chase that ended in eastern Bates County around midnight last night. The driver, name unknown, allegedly rear ended another vehicle north of Archie and sped away southbound into Bates County where the Highway Patrol pursuit was joined by Bates County sheriff's deputies.
The chase, which encountered speeds up to 80+ mph, turned onto D highway east of Passaic where it eventually ended near Z highway.
No injuries were reported- however, another vehicle that mistakenly ran over a spike strip required assistance near the Adrian overpass.
