Computers 4 U under new ownership

Dale Bishop, former owner of Computers 4 U in Adrian has announced that he is getting out of the computer business to pursue other interests- however the new owner will bring the same professional, local service we've come to appreciate. 

Jason Rugg has purchased Computers 4 U and comes to the table with a lot of know how and promises to make the transition as seamless as possible. Rugg, a 2004 graduate of Adrian High School has about 8 years of experience working on computers, plus 7 years working as an engineer in Overland Park, KS. Add to that, he has worked as a technical design engineer for a logistics company in Belton, Mo.

Computers 4 U will relocate just down the road to the basement of Rugg's residence at 920 N. Business 71 Highway in Adrian- a logical move, since Jason has already set up the basement for his business that includes wide format printing of anything up to 42 inches wide by any length (visible in photo below).

To help with the transition, computers may still be dropped off and picked up at the old location for now, as Dale Bishop is working with Jason to make the changeover as smooth as possible.

We spoke candidly with Jason during the Adrian Business Expo last Saturday and learned that he is quite excited about the new venture and keeps quite busy as he also works as the sound technician for the Adrian Christian Church and does work on the church computers as well.

Jot this number down, you're bound to need it at some point- 816.297.4411. You can also find the Computers 4 U Facebook page here www.facebook.com/C4UAdrian. Feel free to send him a message or call to welcome him as the proud new owner of Computers 4 U!

New Outer Road Project to Begin between Butler and Rich Hill

A project to build outer roads on either side of Route 71 between Rich Hill and Butler begins the week of March 5, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The outer road project is part of the upgrading of U.S. 71 to Interstate 49 between Kansas City and Pineville that has been ongoing for several years. MoDOT is working toward I-49 designation by the end of 2012.

During the week of March 5, contractor crews will begin clearing and grading.

The project involves building outer roads on either side of Route 71.

The west outer road will run between County Road 3778 and the Marais des Cygnes River.

The east outer road will run between County Road 4016 and Route B at Rich Hill.

The prime contractor is Lehman Construction of California, MO, doing the work for a low bid amount of $5.4 million.

Completion is scheduled for early November 2012.

Traffic Impacts

Much of the work will take place away from Route 71 traffic.

Equipment may need to enter and leave work areas.

In mid-March, it will be necessary to CLOSE two county roads north of Route A/B. County Road 4016 on the east side of Route 71 will be CLOSED and County Route 3778 on the west side will be CLOSED. During the closings, drivers will have to find alternate routes. The county roads will be connected to the new outer roads and will be reopened toward the end of the project in late October.
