Missouri State Fair It was such fun to attend the Missouri State Fair last week during Legislators 'Day. Here I am in the dairy barn with my son Philip who milked a "simulated "cow.
The Missourian agriculture industry produces $32 billion in positive economic impact to our
state.
While enjoying the fresh air and blue skies at the fairgrounds,
I had a surprise visit with our newest U S Congressman, Blaine
Luetkemeyer. I told him he should expect to receive a letter I sent him
expressing my feelings on the national healthcare mandate bill under consideration
in congress. If you would like to see that letter, click on this link: Letter to
Congress Your thoughts
are important to me, so please let me know what you think. You can send

Missouri
Department of Transportation is starting a number of improvements around our
area. While we all like to have clean new roads to drive on, the
construction is the price tag for these improvements. Here is a list of
what you can watch out for over the next few weeks: •
The
traffic will be restricted around the I-70 outer road between Route K/Route M
and Route 79 in O'Fallon to repave the outer roads. Work on this $1 million
project also includes pavement repairs and improvements to the Route K/Route
M interchange. Crews will add a turn lane from the eastbound outer road to
southbound Route K and add new turn signals to the I-70 ramps and the outer
road. Work will continue until mid- to late September. There may be
temporary lane restrictions on the outer road, Route K or the I-70 during
this construction work.
•
After
the crews finish the Route K/Route M improvements, crews will repair and
repave the I-70 outer road between Route K/Route M and Route 79. This work,
from 7:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. weeknights, will require crews to close one lane
of traffic on the outer road. They will use flaggers to direct traffic
during this repair and repaving work.
•
Currently
the two far right lanes of eastbound I-70 will be closed for bridge inspection.
The lane closures will occur from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday
through September 2. During these lane closures, access to eastbound
Interstate 70 from the 5th street on-ramp in the city of St.
Charles will be closed for safety. Motorists are advised to use
Veterans Memorial Parkway west to Route 94 to go eastbound on I-70. Message
boards and signs advising motorists of the detour will be in place.
Plan ahead to avoid
work zones, call 1-888-ASK-MODOT or visit the MODOT website: www.modot.org. Travelers can also get up-to-the-minute traffic
information on interstates or major state routes by dialing 5-1-1 from most
cell phones; if 5-1-1 isn't available from your carrier, please dial
877-478-5511 (877-4STL-511). A Little Bit of Humor My
son "Ben of Arabia " and granddaughter, Grace, are out to fight for justice at
the Missouri State Fair. Water was scarce! (This photo was taken at the
fair, but was enhanced with PhotoDraw software.)
