Yesterday, St. Clair County Detective Jarrod Sherrer, middle, and Osceola Police Chief Devin Shumaker, right, assisted Osceola High School Junior Kelsea Tyson, left, with her FCCLA STAR event on the consequences of driving while intoxicated. Tyson was shown a simulated traffic stop on a driving while intoxicated driver. During the stop, field sobriety tests were demonstrated. In one simulation Tyson acted as the impaired driver to better understand the process an impaired driver would go though during an investigation.

News from the Appleton City Industrial Development Committee
Residents are reminded that county tax assessment lists must be returned to the County Assessor’s Office before March 1, 2017 to avoid late penalties based on the assessed value of the property that was not reported. Please check your 2017 Personal Property Assessment sheet closely. Items put on last year will be listed and will not have to be relisted. Anything purchased January 1, 2016 will need to be added in the appropriate place. Please double check the years, size of motor, etc., as it will make a difference in your valuation and taxes. If you have livestock, it needs to be added to the back of the sheet. Livestock does not carry over like vehicles. If you are single and over 65 or totally disabled and you total household income is $27,500 or less, or if you or your spouse are over 65 and your total household income is $30,000 or less and you paid real estate taxes or rent on the home you occupied, you may qualify to get all or part of your county real estate money back. This is called the Property Tax Credit Refund. If you have more than five acres or you own a mobile home and no land, you will need a special form 948 to attach to your paperwork. The 948 form is available in the St. Clair Co. Assessor’s Office and they will fill one out at your request. If you rent your home, you must complete the MO-CRP (Certification of Rent Paid) for the year to get a refund if you qualify. There will be someone in the Courthouse to assist with these forms at no charge. For information, call the St. Clair County Assessor’s Office at 417-646-2449.

Missouri House Members Recognize the Achievements of Eagle Scouts
Capitol Report from Representative Patricia Pike
The Missouri House has started debate on legislation meant to keep the state’s system of unemployment financially stable. The bill would link unemployment benefits to the rate of unemployment, and ensure the state will have funding in the unemployment trust fund.
House Approves Legislation to Stop Illegal Use of Herbicides (HB 662)
The members of the Missouri House approved legislation that is meant to stop the illegal use of herbicides that have caused widespread damage to crops in the Southeast Missouri.
According to experts from the University of Missouri, many farmers in that region lost an average of 35 percent of their crops when neighboring farmers used an outdated Dicamba product. Wind and temperature changes caused that product to spread onto nearby fields. Because the product was drifting onto fields not planted with seeds resistant to it, those crops were damaged. At least 150 farmers were impacted by the illegal use of the product.
The legislation approved by the House would allow the Department of Agriculture to issue a fine to any individual who knowingly applies a herbicide to a crop for which the herbicide is not labeled for use. The department could issue a fine of up to $1,000 per acre on which a product is spread illegally. The per-acre fine would be doubled for those who repeatedly violate the new law. Under current law, the fine is a flat $1,000, which the sponsor of the bill said is not a strong enough deterrent. The money collected in fines would go to the local school district in which the violation occurred.
The bill would also give the Department of Agriculture additional powers to investigate claims of illegal uses. The department would be able to subpoena witnesses and compel the production of certain records related to the misuse of herbicides. Farmers penalized for illegal use would be liable to the department for its expenses and for personal property affected.
The bill includes an emergency clause, which would make it effective immediately upon being signed by the governor. The sponsor of the legislation told his colleagues, “If we do not raise the fine and the penalty for using illegal products, then we will have the same situation in 2017 that we had in 2016.”
Expanding Virtual School Options for Missouri Students (HB 138)
The Missouri House has approved legislation meant to expand course options and access for K-12 students. The bill would change the Missouri Virtual Instruction Program (MOVIP) to "The Missouri Course Access Program" (MCAP) and allows any K-12 student to enroll in MCAP courses.
The Missouri Virtual Instruction Program was established in 2007 to offer online courses to public, private, and home school students. The program allows students to take advanced courses that are not currently offered by their local school districts. As the sponsor of the legislation pointed out, there are 255 school districts in Missouri that have no students in calculus; 213 that have no students in physics, 105 that have none in chemistry; and there are 110 school districts that have ended their gifted programs.
In order to give students in all parts of the state access to advanced coursework, the legislation would allow students to take online courses that would be paid by the school district or charter school. Students would be eligible if they have attended the school for at least one semester, and the course is not available in the school district. The bill requires the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to review the online courses to ensure they meet state standards.
The existing MOVIP has seen funding dwindle in recent years, which has limited free tuition to students who are unable to attend traditional schools because of health issues. The legislation that would change the program to MCAP would not rely on a direct appropriation, but would instead redirect a portion of the per-pupil funding provided by the state.
As the sponsor of the bill told his colleagues on the House floor, “Course access opens up possibilities for school districts. Course access makes education fair, equitable, and accessible.”
Missouri House Approves Perinatal Care Legislation (HB 58)
Members of the Missouri House gave bipartisan support this week to legislation meant to help reduce the incidence of preterm births and infant mortality in Missouri. The House approved legislation that would require the Department of Health and Senior Services to establish levels of neonatal and maternal care available at each birthing center in the state.
The bill is meant to provide a referral system that would ensure high risk and other at-risk newborns receive consultation and access to risk-appropriate care. In effect, it would ensure moms and babies receive the right care at the right place. Supporters note that approximately 25 percent of at-risk newborns in Missouri are born at a facility that is not equipped to meet their needs. They say enacting the legislation will allow complex care to be delivered in a more timely fashion to babies and mothers in need.
The House approved similar legislation during the 2016 legislative session, but the Senate failed to send the bill to the governor’s desk before time ran out.
Observing Missouri Memory Day
House members and visitors to the Capitol wore purple on Wednesday, Feb. 22 in honor of Missouri Memory Day. The annual event saw hundreds of advocates make their way to Jefferson City to educate elected officials about Alzheimer’s disease and the need to enhance access to care, support and services for people with dementia and their families.
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s is the most expensive disease in America. Right now, there are 5.4 million Americans with Alzheimer's. By 2050, the number of people age 65 and older with Alzheimer's disease may increase dramatically to a projected 13.8 million. Over the next 40 years, caring for people with Alzheimer’s will cost the United States $20 trillion, with nearly 60 percent of that borne by Medicare. Advocates say that the development of a treatment that delayed onset of Alzheimer’s by just five years would reduce Medicare spending on those with the disease by 45 percent in 2050.
House Members Recognize the Achievements of Eagle Scouts
House members took time this week to honor the hard work and success of Eagle Scouts from around the state. The young Scouts who achieved the rank of Eagle Scout during 2016 were on hand at the Capitol for Missouri Eagle Scout Recognition Day on Monday, Feb. 20.
Several of the scouts made their way to the House Chamber where they were recognized for reaching the highest achievement of any Scout. The Scouts also participated in a recognition program in the Capitol Rotunda that was highlighted by a keynote address from Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, who is himself an Eagle Scout.
The Eagle Scout award is a performance-based achievement. To earn the Eagle Scout rank, which is the highest advancement rank in Scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service, and outdoor skills. Research has demonstrated the significant, positive impact Eagle Scouts have on society — from holding leadership positions in their workplaces and neighborhoods to voting and volunteering, and from protecting the environment to being prepared for emergencies.
