11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 13

This is a Charity vehicle show to benefit the West Side Senior Center, 1501 Hwy O, Laurie, MO. It will be held in the parking lot of the Senior Center from 11AM-4PM September 13, 2026. All types of vehicles are welcome: 2 wheels, 3 wheels, autocycles, cars, trucks, custom builds.

Hot dogs, chips, soda/water for sale on the day of the show. There is no entry fee. Judging will be done by donating $1 per vehicle. There will also be a 50/50 raffle, and donations are always welcomed.

The Senior Center provides lunch for a suggested $5 donation, five days per week to all who want one. If you are unable to pay, you may eat anyway because nobody checks to see if you dropped the $5 in the donation box.

We do not get any State or Federal Funds. This is a safe place for socialization, games, exercise, line dancing, and more. Anytime we are open we are a heating or cooling center.

Some of you who live in the area will remember the recent kerfuffle over allowing a data center in a proposed Opportunity Zone in Camden County (technically, the decision before the commission was whether to support the planned OZ, but a proposed data center was the focus of the attention).

As a follow up on that, the Camden County Commission heard a proposal at their meeting last week to rewrite part of the Uniform Land Use Code (ULUC), including a proposed Appendix L that would include new regulations on data centers. Two people on the commission, Stacy Shore and Kris Franken, presented a proposal from the rewrite committee to, among other things:

• classify data centers into categories by land use or energy usage (ranging from micro to hyperscale)

• requires data centers to have annual publicly available compliance reports for regulations (see below)

• creates a regulatory process for permitting and agreements

• mandates a county-wide referendum with a majority of registered voters approving permits for a data center (the applicant pays for the election)

• require data centers to have a year's worth of their water usage stored on site

• creates an escalator clause for higher costs for water in drought conditions

• creates specifications for EMF, vibration, sound, waste disposal, and environmental cleanup (with a center having to post bond for cleanups)

You can read the whole thing here if you want.

Essentially, the proposed policy would make it very unattractive to build a data center in Camden County, particularly when other counties are making it very attractive to build data centers on their land.

The commission meeting was intended to float the proposal (pun intended) before lake area residents, so there was not a vote on it. I will keep an eye on the upcoming commission meetings and do my best to post information on them here before this is discussed again.

As a reminder, the commissioners meet at least once a week, with a public schedule that is posted here. Meeting agendas are posted at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting, as required by law. The commission generally meets at 10 a.m. on scheduled dates in the county admin building/old courthouse, 1 Courthouse Dr NW, Camdenton.

If you would like to leave comments or feedback on the proposal, you can contact the county commission here:

• Ike Skelton, Presiding Commissioner, ike_skelton@camdencountymo.gov

• James Gohagan, 1st District Commissioner, james_gohagan@camdencountymo.gov

• Steve Dougan, 2nd District Commissioner, steve_dougan@camdencountymo.gov

Jeff Vernetti is the state representative who represents Camden County, and who initially supported the Opportunity Zone proposal until he learned more about it. You can find his contact information here and I'll also post it below:

Edit: I would be incredibly remiss not to give a great deal of credit to Dave Maupin and his blog, https://amongthedogwoods.blog/, which has the best coverage of Camden County meetings you'll find. You can also find ... opinions on some of the typical Facebook groups but I try not to dig too deply into them.

Growing up, my family had a house on the Little Niangua arm near Roach. We would always tune into KY3 (the place to be) on the old TV if there was a bad storm, and we knew to take it seriously when the antenna stopped working. KOMU also covers the lake area, as does KRCG in Columbia. But where else do you get storm coverage?

Inspired of course by the exciting weather today and yesterday.

Edited to add in the interest of transparency, I'm interested in eventually adding weather info to the subreddit wiki.
