Page 4 THE CRANE CHRONICLE/STONE COUNTY REPUBLICAN Thursday, March 8, 2012 Ruby’s Bark Box Bark, bark from Ruby. By doggies we have had some crazy weather lately. Sounds like so many people had devastation on their property. All of you humans are so good to offer help to these people. I hear my family talking about all the volunteers that have showed up so many places. Sounded like our close neighbor “Branson” really got it, real bad, but no one lost their life. Other places were not so lucky. The night the storm was headed our way, my family stayed up (including me) until the TV gave us the word that the storm was out of here and headed southeast. Best this little ole lady dog remembers, it was around 1:30 a.m. before I got to go to bed. I have heard family talking about some of the pets, had got trapped under the rubble, but all had been rescued by someone. This brings to my attention to remind you pet owners to make sure you have a disaster plan that includes your pet. Be sure it wears an ID tag, in case you get separated. These high winds/tornadoes can cause you to lose contact with each other real easy. That would scare me to death, if I couldn’t find someone in my family. ---- I hope we don’t get any more storms. Next, I want to tell you about a family that has a cat that almost predicts a storm long before anyone notices it. Daisy, the cat will disappear, so they depend on her for a pop-up storm warning, if they can’t find her, one is on the way. Daisy came to this family when she was very tiny and she figured out how to get in the kitchen cabinets, early on. She opened the fridge for awhile, until they caught her, doing her dastardly deed. She would lie on her back, grab under the door with her front paws and “behold” it would open. Now, since Daisy had been getting in the cabinets, the fridge is a different story. They were afraid she would open the door and possibly get hold of something in the fridge that would make her real sick. So --- what do they do now? The man of the house rides motorcycles with other riders and he was telling them about Daisy’s wrong doings. One of the guys said he knew what they could do to stop that. Of course the man of the house was eager to hear his suggestion. The friend says “we have it with us every time we ride.” He then went to his cycle and removed one of his elastic ropes from the box and gave it to the cat owner. Arriving home later that day, Daisy’s family fastened pieces of the rope to the cabinet, and handles and the fridge handle and waited to see Daisy’s reaction. Of course Daisy tried the cabinet door, but as she got the door slightly open, it would close before she could get her paws inside. You all know (we pets) are like you humans, once we accept it doesn’t work anymore, we won’t try it anymore. BOL. Problem solved!!! Take care of your pets when we have storm warnings, because we are nervous just like you are, (maybe worse). Adopt, Spay, Neuter. Thanks for reading my column. Bark at you next week!!! Crane Family Dentistry 204 N Commerce Crane, Missouri 417-723-1723 Ruby The Stone County Health Department staff stood ready for quick response to the EF-2 tornado that damaged homes and businesses in Stone County early on February 29, 2012. Tom Martin, Emergency Management Director, county officials, Kimberling City personnel, Chamber of Commerce and out-of-county resource groups worked together to identify needs and deploy resources where needed. Kim King, SCHD Health Educator and serves as our public health emergency response Public Information Officer (PIO) and Volunteer Coordinator was stationed at the Command Center for three days to provide information and updates to the media and county residents. Along with serving as the PIO for the event, Kim also called on several of the health department’s trained volunteers to assist with the vaccination effort. Pam Burnett, BSN, Section Manager for Clinical Services, coordinated the health department’s response to protect individuals affected by the tornado. Pam also organized SCHD RN’s and volunteer teams to provide tetanus vaccinations to individuals assisting with recovery and response efforts in the affected areas. On Thursday morning, March 1 st , SCHD staff traveled to Mt. Vernon to meet a Stone County Health Department Angela Ford, Administrator 417-357-6134 • Forda@lpha.mopublic.org www.stonecountyhealthdepartment.com Stone County Health Department: Ready For Public Health Emergency Response representative from the Jasper County Health Department to pick up 200 doses of tetanus vaccine. By 11:30 a.m. that morning, two teams of SCHD RNs and volunteers were administrating vaccinations to affected residents and volunteers out in the field. A total of 136 tetanus vaccinations were given out of the back of the teams’ cars on Thursday, March 1 st and Friday, March 2 nd . The teams provided vaccine to individuals down Joe Bald and Stone Rd., Gobbler Mountain area, Stormy Point, Kimberling Inn, and Portof-Kimberling. The health department would like to thank the following volunteers for contributing their time, Julie Crone, RN; Myrna Bruning, RN; Anna Marie Lewis, RN; Sue Schafer, and Theresa Molsbee. The SCHD encourages those who are involved in clean-up efforts to protect themselves from unseen hazards and contaminants. During cleanup efforts, it is highly possible for one to get cut, scratched, or wounded allowing bacteria to enter the body. Important ways to protect yourself against tetanus is to wear protective clothing such as hard-soled boots and gloves while removing debris and be vaccinated against tetanus. Free tetanus shots are available for individuals involved in clean-up efforts at the SCHD Branson West location Monday through Thursday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., no appointment is necessary; call 272-0050 for additional information. Todd Fickbohm, EPHS, Section Manager for Environmental Services, coordinated the health department’s response to environmental concerns that could affect the health of residents and volunteers. Along with Todd, Environmental Public Health Specialists Paul Terry and Chris Thornton inspected the food establishments that were damaged by the tornado, as well as the establishments that were without electric power for a long period of time; they also inspected the temporary food vendors that were located down Joe Bald Road and the kitchen serving food through the First Baptist Church. Due to the fact that wells can lose water pressure during long periods of loss of power, the SCHD will waive the $15 fee for water testing of private wells of residents that were affected by the tornado. Water bottles are available at both the Branson West and Galena locations. Specimens can be dropped off at the Branson West office on Tuesdays or Thursdays before1:00 p.m., or at the Galena office Monday through Thursday before 1:00 p.m. All specimens must be collected according to instructions provided in the testing kit; results of the test can be mailed directly to your address or sent via e-mail; call 357-8200 for additional information. Clean-up Efforts Underway in Stone County Due to EF-2 Tornado on 2/29/12 Recovery and clean-up efforts are underway in Kimberling City, Indian Point, and Stone County. Emergency Management, county and city officials, Road & Bridge, Sheriff’s Department, Local Law Enforcement agencies, Stone County Health Department, HAM Radio Club, Table Rock Area Chamber of Commerce, AmeriCorp, Salvation Army, community organizations, churches, and many volunteers have come together to aid in cleanup efforts. 72 private residences have reported damage from the tornado, this number increased from the original report of 45. AmeriCorp opened a volunteer reception and storm victim assistance center at 10:00 a.m. on 3/1/12 at the old Harter House location in Kimberling City. Many volunteers with chain saws and helping hands were registered and assigned to certain projects/areas throughout the devastated county. ALL volunteers, including affiliated groups, MUST check-in with AmeriCorp. Volunteers need a photo I.D. to register. Persons 14 to 18 years of age MUST be accompanied by a parent/ guardian. It is recommended that all volunteers wear long pants and thick soled shoes. Work gloves are a necessity! To be safe, it is also recommended to wear goggles and a hard hat due to so many tree limbs and branches being broken, scattered and thrown. Law enforcement officers and Sheriff’s Deputies were staged in damaged areas to control the volume of traffic and to secure the area from potential looting. Electric and telephone companies addressed line and pole damages to restore power and phone service to those who have been without those services. Utilities were made safe for residents and volunteers to begin clean-up efforts. Stone County Health Department (SCHD) staff and Community Hero Public Cont pg 9
