The Henry County, Missouri, Office of Emergency Management said the counties will not be able to apply for state funding—for cleanup, repairs or financial help.

'We are very encouraged with what we have found thus far and will be sharing more information as the day goes on. We are not giving up making sure the citizens of our county to get all the help we can possibly find.'

'The Iconium Fire Department will pay to rent a wood chipper,' the fire department said. 'But we need people who can spend a day feeding the chipper and others who can bring trailers and trucks to accept the chips and haul them away, probably to the yard next to our Station 3, about a mile from those subdivisions.'

Many independent and charter schools are also invited to attend. expand While standard sports physicals cover basic requirements, they often miss the more serious underlying health conditions, particularly those related to the heart. 'We focus on what the basic sports physicals may miss,' says Dr. David Price, medical director for Atrium Health Sports Medicine and Special Events. 'A young athlete may feel perfectly fine, but we include a heart ECG screening, which may catch heart conditions that put the athletes' safety at risk during high-intensity activity. With ECGs interpreted by our specialists, we've identified many athletes over the years with conditions that could have had significant consequences if left undiagnosed.' Heart of a Champion Day isn't just about detecting potential heart conditions. It also helps identify musculoskeletal issues, vision and blood pressure concerns, and other conditions that could impact an athlete's performance. Price, who also serves as a sports medicine physician at the Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute, says the best way to prevent an injury is to catch potential issues before they happen. 'By screening for orthopedic weaknesses or imbalances, we can help athletes avoid injuries that could potentially end their season,' he says. expand What's included in the free screening? Each student-athlete will receive a comprehensive medical evaluation, performed by sports medicine physicians, cardiologists, orthopedic specialists and other health care professionals. It is not meant to take the place of their yearly physical performed by the athlete's regular physician. The screening includes: Medical history review: Assessing personal information and family health history for risk factors. General sports screening: Meeting North and South Carolina's athletic participation requirements. Electrocardiogram (ECG): A heart screening to detect electrical activity abnormalities. Echocardiogram (ECHO), if needed: Additional testing if an ECG reveals concerns. Orthopedic screening: Evaluating musculoskeletal function to prevent injuries. Vision exam: Ensuring athletes have the visual clarity needed for peak performance. Hands-only CPR training: Teaching life-saving emergency response skills. Nutritional guidance: Providing expert advice from registered dieticians on fueling for performance and recovery. Mental health counselors: Available on-site if needed or requested by student-athlete Heart of a Champion Day event organizers have seen great success with this event, both for the athlete's long-term success, as well as the parent's peace of mind. 'This isn't just for the student's athletic performance, but also for their overall well-being,' says Price. 'These screenings provide valuable information that can help keep athletes in the game, performing at their highest level, and most importantly, staying safe.'
