Heat stroke watch for children and the elderly
The number of deaths from the heat in Missouri is now up to 26. The medical examiner has listed a 64 year old St. Charles county man as the latest confirmed heat related victim. The man died in his mobile home after having his air conditioner removed because he thought it was too expensive. He reportedly has refused a relative’s offer to move to a cooler place. Craig Eichelman with A-A-R-P Missouri says sometimes older people remember that when they were children they didn’t have air conditioning, and they think they can tough it out now….
That’s why we are urging Missourians to check on elders and help them find ways to stay cool, especially if they live alone. According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of heat stroke include confusion, slurred speech, nausea and racing heart rate. Eichelman reminds Missourians that heat stroke is something that can be prevented.
Doctors say if you think someone is suffering from heat stroke. Call 911 immediately. In the meantime if they are conscious, get them to drink water. Sponge their clothes and their body with cool water and you can apply ice packs to their armpits and head.

Amoret now under burn ban...
Burning in rural areas should also be avoided until we get an appreciable amount of rainfall.
Nixon officially declares state of emergency
Gov. Nixon declares state of emergency because of public health,
agricultural, fire risk concerns from prolonged severe heat and drought
Executive order authorizes state agencies to assist local jurisdictions
with response, under State Emergency Operations Plan
JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Jay Nixon today declared a state of emergency in
Missouri because of the impact that the prolonged severe heat and
drought are having on both agriculture and public health. Executive
Order 12-07, signed by the Governor this afternoon, activates the State
Emergency Operations Plan, which authorizes state agencies to assist
local jurisdictions with their emergency response.
"The high temperatures and dry conditions across the state are taking
their toll on Missourians," Gov. Nixon said. "Our farmers are suffering
tremendous losses in crops and livestock, and we're seeing more
heat-related deaths and emergency room visits, particularly among
seniors. In addition, we continue to see a high risk of fire from
tinderbox conditions, and we are monitoring how the drought is affecting
public water supplies and distribution.
"We're going to continue to work with public health officials, public
safety officials and agricultural leaders to alleviate the impact of the
heat and drought, but the long-range forecast shows our preparation and
response will likely be needed for the foreseeable future," Gov. Nixon
said.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has confirmed 25
heat-related deaths in the state, including 20 in the St. Louis
metropolitan area. The department also has received hospital reports of
829 heat-related emergency department visits from May 1 through July 22.
On June 29, Gov. Nixon issued an executive order activating the Missouri
State Operations Center in response to the severe heat, dry conditions
and fire risks. Last Friday (July 20), he called on the State Soil and
Water Districts Commission to take emergency action allowing livestock
producers to conduct flash grazing, haying and watering on livestock
exclusion areas currently under contract.

Hume News
Hume news - July 23rd
The community of Hume wishes to express their sympathy to the family of Catherine Johnson of rural Hume who passed away on July 18, 2012. She will be greatly missed by family and friends.
The community of Hume also wishes to express their sympathy to the family of Oscar Fillpot. Oscar was one of kind that we all have special memories and funny stories to remember him by. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families at this time during their loss.
Celebrating 70 years of the Hume Fair & Rodeo is the theme for this year’s parade. The Hume Fair Association was organized in 1942 by Jim Hawks and Tommy Teagarden who saw a need for young 4-H and FFA Members to be able to show their livestock. We don’t know who all was on the fair board with them, but they created an organization that would last with their hard work and those to come. This year we are asking anyone whose relatives were involved in the early years to please join us in the parade honoring those early pioneers of the Hume Fair Association. You may ride in the parade in the comfort of your own car. We just ask that there be a sign on the side of your vehicle with the family member whose name is to be recognized. Please contact the fair board if you need a sign.
Hume Fair T-Shirts will be on sale for the 70th Annual Hume Fair so stop by the Security Bank in Hume or you may purchase them throughout the fair. Prices will be listed at the bank for various sizes. $1.00 per shirt will be donated to relay for life. We will have sizes small, medium and large in children’s and in adults we will have small, medium, large, x-large, 2X, 3X and 4X sizes.
See you at the Hume Fair next week!
