Dexter, Missouri - There’s something to be said about growing up in a small town in the Heartland. It may take a village to raise a child, but it only took the Dexter Fire Department and the city of Dexter Street Department to rescue Bel.
On Wednesday, Scott Kruse and his family knew all too well how important it was that their local fire department came to the rescue!
Bel, their family dog, who just recently joined the family fell into a seven-foot well near their property. Scott Kruse and his daughter, Andie, had decided to take a walk and didn’t have Bel on a leash. While they were out for their stroll, Bel just disappeared.
“We were about 10 feet away when we heard a thud,” commented Kruse, who is a local middle school principal. “We realized Bel was gone and when we went over to the area there was a well partially covered with grass. Looked down and there was Bel.”
Two hours later, tired and a little thirsty, Bel was rescued by Fire Chief Don Seymore and his band of helpers. Even the city of Dexter’s Street Department combined their efforts to help dig a hole next to the well to get poor Bel out safely.
“Thanks to everyone, especially Don, who crawled through yards and yards of underground piping in the mud and yuck,” laughed Kruse who compared it to a scene from the movie “Shawshank Redemption”
“We are very blessed and it is great to live in small town USA!” continued Kruse. “Dexter in particular. Thanks to everyone who helped rescue Bel.”
Scott and Kerri Kruse, along with their daughter, Addie and Andie are extremely thankful to the Dexter Fire Department and the city of Dexter’s Street Department for rescuing their beloved pet.
During June, July and August, there are about two fewer donors than needed at each Red Cross blood drive. This can add up to more than 100,000 fewer donations during the summer. Many schools that host blood drives are out of session, and vacation schedules can make regular donors less available – both contributing to the seasonal decline.
Donors of all blood types – especially those with types AB, O negative, A negative and B negative – are needed to help ensure blood products are available to hospital patients this summer. Type AB donors have the universal plasma type, which can be given to patients of all blood types. Plasma helps maintain blood pressure and supplies critical proteins for clotting immunity. It is often needed for burn, trauma and cancer patients.
To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).
There will be four blood drives during the month of July in Stoddard County. Please come out and donate. You can save 3 lives!!!

Missouri - This Independence Day millions of American will celebrate with fireworks! The city of Dexter will host their annual Fireworks Display at dusk on Friday, July 3rd with a rain make-up date of Sunday, July 5th.
The state of Missouri has few regulations on the purchase and use of fireworks; however your local county or city may have ordinances banning certain fireworks or have specific time they are to be used.
In Missouri seasonal retailers may sell from June 20th until July 10th. State permits should be displayed at all seasonal retail.
According to the National Fire Protection Agency in 2010 fireworks caused an estimated 15,500 reported fires including 1,100 structure fires, 300 vehicle fires, and 14,100 outside and other fires.
The Missouri Office of the Fire Marshal suggests fireworks users follow a few safety guidelines:
