Boaters: Know Before You Go!
Captain Matt Walz, director of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Water Patrol Division, is emphasizing the importance of boaters being informed about river and lake conditions before they put their vessels into the water. Recreational boaters are being discouraged from operating their vessels on flooded waterways where property will be negatively impacted by boat wakes, especially over the upcoming holiday weekend. Memorial Day weekend is generally one of the busiest of the boating season: Use caution in selecting your destination. The high-water levels on many of the waterways around our state will impact property, including structures in some areas, and boat wakes will only increase the damage. By state law, boat operators are required to operate in a careful and prudent manner and exercise the highest degree of care.
Boaters are encouraged to use the old boating adage of know before you go and to research the river and lake conditions before operating a vessel in a flood-affected area. Many waterways, regardless of current water levels, will contain a significant amount of floating debris due to the recent heavy rains and high-water levels. Thus, boaters must maintain a proper lookout for potential hazards in the water and exercise caution. In addition, many of the boat access areas on waterways may be affected.
Wearing a life jacket is always a great idea. But, if you choose not to wear your life jacket, it must be readily accessible.
Watercraft operators must consider the effect their actions have on others: Share the waterway and use common sense, good judgment, and courtesy to ensure the safety of all. Life jackets save lives. Wear It!!
Flooding and Thunderstorms Late Tonight
Also, we continue to have Facebook access issues. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we cannot answer questions or post questions until the issues are resolved.

Major flooding possible ahead of holiday weekend
With the Memorial Day weekend approaching, the Missouri Department of Transportation is urging travelers to plan their routes ahead of time and to pay attention to all road closure signs. During flooding, the road may no longer exist under the running or stationary water. Floodwaters can be deeper than they appear and can hide such hazards as sharp objects, electrical wires, sewage and chemicals.
In addition, MoDOT reminds motorists never to move or attempt to drive around barricades that block flooded roads. Barricades are put in place for motorists’ safety, yet MoDOT and law enforcement officials report they continue to see drivers either maneuver around the road blocks or move them to get through.
“Moving a barricade is dangerous for the person doing it and also puts others at risk by removing the warning sign,” said Natalie Roark, state maintenance director. “Whether driving or walking, any time you come to a flooded area or barricade, remember the saying: turn around, don’t drown.”
Here are some important safety reminders:
•Don't drive through any flooded areas. A few extra minutes for a detour could lead to a life saved.
•MoDOT reminds motorists it only takes six inches of water (or less!) to lose control of your vehicle and possibly be swept into rising floodwaters.
•Any time there is water over the roadway, there may be unseen damage to the road surface below.
• Stay alert and do not drive through water over a roadway or around construction barricades. MoDOT encourages all motorists to Turn Around! Don’t Drown!
Motorists can stay informed about Missouri road conditions by using MoDOT’s Traveler Information Map, available online at modot.org, or through MoDOT’s smartphone app, available for iPhone and Android mobile devices.

FLASHBACK: Early days of radio in Bates County
 | |
| On the air in 1963 Edwin Blocher and Bob Spurrier on location |
Established in 1962 by two brothers, Bill and Jerry Thornton. Bill Thornton began his career as a DJ, continued his career in the United States Navy as an engineer, then graduated from Arkansas State with a degree in Journalism and a dream to build his own radio station.
On May 11, 1962, the first broadcast from KMAM AM 1530 began at 6 AM. The Bates County Broadcasting Company, located at 800 East Nursery Street in Butler, may be the last radio station in the country of its age, still under its original ownership.
The FM frequency was added on January 15, 1975 and KMAM/KMOE became two stations, simulcasting in FM and AM. In the beginning, the radio station could only broadcast during daylight hours. The station has gone from reel-to-reel tape, to cartridge tapes, then cassettes, and now there is full automation and no tapes required. Local broadcasters had to come to the radio station in person to perform and be on air. Music was on vinyl. Now programs can be recorded anywhere at any time and brought to the station to be aired at a scheduled time. From noisy teletype in a soundproof room, to satellites receiving programs from 24,000 miles in the sky, KMAM/KMOE-FM 92.1 brings the Kansas City Royals, ABC World News, Farm Market Reports and a variety of other shows to listeners. Bill and Louise Thornton still own the station, but they have retired from working there, and the General Manager is their daughter, Melody Thornton. Melody has been announcing since 1980 and she has made positive changes to the format and programs at the station. The station continues to move forward into a competitive and up-to-date venue of music, news, and entertainment for the ever expanding broadcasting area.

Editor's note- Many thanks to Bill Thornton for hiring me in 1982. KMAM/KMOE FM nicely launched my career in broadcasting which included on-the-air work at KNEM/KNMO in Nevada, KOMB in Fort Scott and later 61 Country, WHB, KUDL and Oldies 95 in Kansas City. All of which could not have been done without a start right here in Bates County. -Doug Mager

Heavy Rainfall and Thunderstorms
Increasing concerns for a narrow line of dangerous thunderstorms developing later this afternoon from southeastern Kansas into west central and central Missouri into the evening.
Damaging hail, up to Tennis ball size possible is our greatest concern with a few tornadoes possible with the strongest storms. Please stay weather aware this afternoon!
B Highway closed east of Rich Hill
Flooding has already prompted closures, including B highway east of Rich Hill and rain tonight could again cause problems in other areas that were closed yesterday as well.
Forecasters are saying we are to expect severe thunderstorms between 4 and 10 pm this evening which could include large hail, damaging winds and possibly tornado activity in the area. This includes the potential for flash flooding.
Mid America Live will keep an eye on the situation and will update as weather moves through this evening.
Unusual visitor at the courthouse this morning...
We're not sure if this deer was disappointed the license bureau wasn't open yet or maybe just came to dine on the dew covered grass. Either way, it was a welcomed sight on the Butler square this morning.
