JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The State Milk Board, in conjunction with the Missouri Department of Agriculture and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, announced milk products produced by Shatto Dairy of Osborn, Mo., are being recalled.
Test results received on Aug. 8 indicate levels of residual phosphatase above the standard for Grade “A” pasteurized milk after routine testing of samples collected on Aug. 6. Residual phosphatase may indicate potentially unpasteurized or improperly pasteurized milk, which can contain harmful pathogens that may lead to food borne illness. Individuals who have the products listed below should not consume those items. The products should be returned to the place of purchase or discarded.
Shatto Dairy’s plant operations have been temporarily suspended, pending the results of the investigation by the State Milk Board and Missouri departments of Agriculture and Health and Senior Services.
According to the State Milk Board, the recalled milk is packaged in glass bottles of varying sizes and labeled Grade “A.” Recalled products include:
The milk products may have been sold in both Missouri and Kansas. The Missouri State Milk Board, in conjunction with the Missouri departments of Agriculture and Health and Senior Services are working with the company to compile a list of retailers to whom the product may have been distributed.
The Missouri State Milk Board continues to review the company’s records to determine when consumers may have purchased the product. Anyone who has purchased these products may return the unused portion to the store from which they purchased the product.
Copies of Missouri’s regulations for Grade “A” milk are available online at mda.mo.gov/animals/milk.

November 17 is National Rural Health DayRural communities are wonderful places to live and work, which is why nearly 62 million people – nearly one in five Americans – call them home. These small towns, farming communities and frontier areas are places where neighbors know each other, listen to each other, respect each other and work together to benefit the greater good. They are also some of the best places to start a business and test your “entrepreneurial spirit.” These communities provide the rest of the country with a wealth of services and commodities, and they are the economic engine that has helped the United State become the world economic power it is today.
These rural communities also have unique healthcare needs. Today more than ever, rural communities must address accessibility issues, a lack of healthcare providers, the needs of an aging population suffering from a greater number of chronic conditions, and larger percentages of un- and underinsured citizens. And rural hospitals – which are often the economic foundation of their communities in addition to being the primary providers of care – struggle daily as declining reimbursement rates and disproportionate funding levels make it challenging to serve their residents.
That is why the National Organization of State Offices of Rural sets aside the third Thursday of every November – November 17 in 2011 – to celebrate National Rural Health Day. First and foremost, National Rural Health Day is an opportunity to “Celebrate the Power of Rural” by honoring the selfless, community-minded, “can do” spirit of that prevails in rural America. But it also gives us a chance to bring to light the unique healthcare challenges that rural citizens face – and showcase the efforts of rural healthcare providers, State Offices of Rural Health and other rural stakeholders to address those challenges.

This September marks the ten year anniversary of 9/11
As we take time to remember those lost, it is an opportunity to make sure we are prepared for future emergencies. National preparedness month was founded after 9/11 to increase preparedness in the U.S. It is a time to prepare yourself and your family for an unexpected emergency.
In prior years, Clinton County has experienced tornadoes, blizzards, floods, wildfires, and other emergency events. Being prepared for these emergencies, as well as others that we don’t often consider such as water main breaks, or long term power outages will help keep you and your family safe and healthy when one occurs.
This September, please prepare and plan in the event you must go for three days without electricity, running water, access to a supermarket, or local services. While the task seems overwhelming, it can be broken down into three steps:
1. Get a Kit: Keep enough emergency supplies on hand for you and those in your care. Water, non-perishable food, first aid supplies, prescriptions, flashlight, battery-powered radio. For a complete checklist, visit Ready.gov
2. Make a Plan: Discuss, agree on, and document an emergency plan with those in your care. Visit Ready.gov for sample plans. Work with neighbors, coworkers, and others to build community resilience. Test or rehearse your plan. Identify the portions that don’t work well, and modify them until they do.
3. Be Informed: Free information is available from federal, state, and local resources. You can find preparedness information by:
Police, fire, and ems may not be able to reach you quickly during a disaster. Obstructed roadways, and overwhelming demand for emergency services during a wide-spread emergency may hinder their response. The most important step you can take in helping your local responders is being able to take care of yourself and your family; the more people who are prepared, the quicker the community will recover.
For further information, please visit the Clinton County Emergency Management “Get Prepared” page, Ready.gov, Missouri Ready in 3, Prepare Metro KC, and the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency’s webpage. Call 1-800-BE-READY for free information.
