Mark Staudt was underwater, failed to surface, and authorities took about 30 minutes to locate him and bring him up.

The so called big truck bill remains stalled in a House committee with one week left in the session. Chairman Jay Trussell has not acted on the Senate passed measure to raise truck weights to 40 000 pounds and lengths to 60 feet. Rep. William Fickle says he was promised a vote but it did not occur.
