President Trump Orders Flags to Half Staff
President Trump Sunday ordered all flags on public grounds to be flown at half-staff until Thursday in honor of the 26 people killed and 20 others wounded in a mass shooting at First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.

"As a mark of respect for the victims of this senseless act of violence perpetrated on November 5, 2017, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, November 9, 2017."

"I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations."

Local Businesses Be On the LOOKOUT for Counterfeit Money

Local Businesses Be On the LOOKOUT for Counterfeit Money

Dexter, Missouri - On Friday, November 3, 2017 three local businesses in Dexter received counterfeit bills according to the Dexter Police Department.

Denominations were $100 and $50.  Local businesses should be on the lookout for more suspicious looking money.

LOOK FOR THE SECURITY THREAD!

The security thread is one of the most distinctive security indicators of an authentic bill

If you hold any bill up to the light, you will see a security strip on an authentic bill. It will have “USA” and the Bill’s denomination, aka “USA 20” running vertically on the bill.

The ultimate test is to put the bill under a UV or black light and make sure the bill glows the correct color. This extra security measure was originally added to provide a quick way for bar owners (one of the businesses most commonly targeted to dispose of counterfeit bills) to check the legitimacy of a bill.

Here are the location and colors of the security threads on different bills:

$5 – Right side. Glows blue under UV light

$10 – Right side. Glows orange under UV light

$20 – Far left hand side. Glows green under UV light

$50 – Right around the middle. Glows yellow Under UV light

$100 – On left side. Glows pink under UV light

The newly printed $100 has an extra security feature. There is a visible blue security ribbon down the right middle of the bill that is 3D. If you move it back and forth, you will actually see the number 100 and a variety of little bells will move from side-to-side as the bill shifts.

Fall Back Saturday Night
November 04th 2017 by Dee Loflin
Fall Back Saturday Night

Stoddard County, Missouri - It's that time of the year again. It’s time to change the clocks back, as we say goodbye to daylight saving time. At 2 a.m. Sunday (Nov. 5), the clocks “fall back” one hour and we return to standard time - “standard” being the time we use for only four months of the year.

The time change means we get an extra hour of sleep this weekend. If you’re an early riser and dislike waking up in the dark, you’ll be pleased to see much brighter mornings. But with daylight in short supply this time of year, setting the clocks back will rob us of even more evening light. Get ready for sunsets in the 5 o’clock hour and trekking home from work in the dark.

Why do we still bother with daylight saving time?

Whenever daylight saving time (DST) starts or ends, we hear the same debate about whether the system is worth keeping. Originally adopted in Europe and the U.S. to save energy during World War I, DST has long been controversial. Research now shows that switching the clocks twice a year saves little, if any, energy, and we often hear the practice is bad for our health. Some 70 countries around the world use daylight saving time, and in many of them, public debate about whether to keep the system has grown.
