Early voting is heavy at Lake of the Ozarks

County Clerk’s office to open on Saturday for early voters.

Here’s the sight I was surprised to encounter Wednesday as I stopped in at the Camden County Clerk’s office to place an absentee vote.  Arriving just after lunch, I had a short wait while 4 clerks waited on early voters in line ahead of me.  

Demand for early voting is so high that the County Clerk’s office is scheduled to be opened on Saturday, Nov. 2 until noon.

With Missouri being such a hotly contended battleground state for the Presidential election, one can’t help but wonder the effects of such a strong turnout.

Change more than your clocks this Sunday.

This weekend is a good time to do semi-annual tasks.

Time revents to standard time at 2 a.m. this Sunday.  And so while you’re  changing your clocks, it would also be a good time to do a few other routine tasks -

tasks that may improve your convenience and safety at home and in your car:

1) Replace the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.  And if an alarm is older than 10 years old, it’s a good idea to replace it altogether.

2) Check your emergency medical kit and replenish items as needed.

3) Prepare a disaster supply kit of water, food, flashlights, batteries and blankers.   If you have one already, rotate old batteries that are dated.

4) Winterize your vehicle and replenish car-emergency kit as needed.
