Dexter, Missouri - Dexter Police will be joining efforts with statewide law enforcement on February 15th for an aggressive “Click It or Ticket” mobilization to get more motorists to buckle up — and save more lives. 

Despite evidence proving the benefits of wearing a seat belt, 16% of Missouri motorists are still not making it click. Even worse, 65% of occupants killed in 2017 crashes in Missouri were unrestrained. 

“Local motorists should be prepared for stepped up Click It or Ticket enforcement,” said Chief Sammy Stone. “We’ll be out there to remind you seat belts can – and do – save lives.” 

Buckle Up and Arrive Alive.

The Groundhog has spoken!  6 more weeks of winter weather!  Every February 2, all eyes turn to Gobbler's knob, a small Pennsylvania town as winter-weary Northeasterners await weather guidance from the predictive rodent.

It's a 132-year-old tradition that is held every year and conducted by top hat-donning members of the Inner Circle of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club, according to the official Pennsylvania tourism website. The idea is, the groundhog wakes up from hibernation on the 2nd, and if it sees its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter. If it doesn't, warmer weather is just around the corner.

This tradition started in Europe as Candlemas Day, an early Christian holiday involving candles. Germans who settled in Pennsylvania in the 1700s brought the custom to America.

Pennsylvania's Punxsutawney Phil is the most well known, but more than a dozen states celebrate with their own groundhogs, such as Georgia's General Beauregard Lee and Buckeye Chuck in Ohio.

Our own 69 year old box turtle, Murtle the Turtle, said it was still too cold to come out, but predicted that winter has not left Stoddard County just yet.
