Obituary - Richard Wimsatt
Richard Lawrence Wimsatt, 83, Adrian, Missouri, died Thursday, April 12, 2012 at Adrian Manor, surrounded by family. Graveside services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at the Crescent Hill Cemetery in Adrian. Friends may call from 6:00-8:00 p.m. Monday, April 16 at the Atkinson Chapel in Adrian. Memorial contributions may be made to the Adrian Fire Department or Heartland Hospice of Butler, MO.
Richard was born April 20, 1928 in Bates County, MO to John C. and Amelia (Foust) Wimsatt. He attended school in Archie, MO until he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps in February 1946. He continued his service until November, 1947. On July 30, 1949 he was united in marriage to Jewel Dean Gillis. The two moved to Adrian, MO where they shared 62 years together. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
He retired as a millwright from GM Leeds Plant in April, 1982 with 30 years of service. After retirement, he spent many hours in his shop doing woodworking, making toys for his grandkids. He loved traveling in his RV and crappie fishing at Truman Lake. He was a member of the Adrian United Methodist Church for over 50 years.
He coached Pee Wee and Little League baseball for many years. He always enjoyed visiting with his boys in later years and reminiscing about the games they played. He always suggested to Coach Bruto he needed to run the Z 28 play during the football games. If he wasn’t suggesting plays, he was looking for somebody to do the grasshopper two-step down at the hootenanny frog farm. He also enjoyed Wednesday morning coffee at the VFW Hall and spending time at Rudy’s helping the girls or sitting in the booth visiting with the coffee drinkers. His greatest joy was being surrounded by his family who were always together during his ups and downs.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, 4 brothers and 3 sisters. He is survived by his wife, Jewel; his sons, Richard Dean Wimsatt and wife, Debbie; Randy Lynn Wimsatt and wife, Vicki, all of Adrian, MO; his daughter, Sandra Kay Highley and husband, Owen of Odessa, MO; 5 grandchildren, Christopher Wimsatt, Butler, MO, Justin Wimsatt and wife, Diane, Adrian, MO, Joshua Highley and wife, Sarah, Independence, MO, Thad Wimsatt and wife, Leanne, Peculiar, MO and Kelsi Robards and husband, Eric, Amoret, MO; 8 great grandchildren, Kireston Luptak, Kamiron Luptak, Kerigan Wimsatt, Kendal Wimsatt, Kooper Wimsatt, Ben Highley, Sidney Wimsatt and Austin Wimsatt.
We will love you always and will miss you!

Rare high risk for severe weather this weekend...
The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center has issued a very ominous warning today for millions of people in the middle part of the country for tomorrow afternoon and night. A rare 2nd day forecast of a high risk of severe weather including strong, long track tornadoes, some of which may occur after dark. This “high risk” category hasn’t been used on a day 2 forecast since March of 2006.
While the map shows the the majority of severe weather to be in Oklahoma and east central Kansas, note the outer edge spills over in our area.
Bates County Live will continue to monitor the situation as it develops through the next 24 hours- as of right now, there are no watches or warnings in effect. Click here to view live radar
Writing Missouri’s Budget
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
Many of the decisions made by lawmakers are difficult. Recently, however, it seems that decisions relating to the budget take the most time and are the most challenging. The General Assembly is constitutionally bound to pass a balanced budget. Our deadline is 6:00 p.m. on May 11. Simply, we cannot spend more than we take in. This year, we will once again need to make tough choices in order to fulfill our responsibilities.
This year’s budget is facing a shortfall of $500 million, in part from previous years’ use of federal stimulus dollars to shore up our budget. As one of nine members of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I have heard testimony from department heads and members of many state agencies since January, each describing their department’s financial need or discussing potential cuts that could be made to maximize efficiency of services.

Fundraiser for victims of fire this week...
There will be a bake sale tomorrow (Saturday the 14th) starting at 10:30 in front of the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Butler or inside if there is rain. Wal-Mart was gracious enough to allow the Youth Group of Community of Christ Church to use the space for the Simm’s Family that lost their home and possessions on Wednesday Morning. A few of the items available will include: (all homemade) Nutella Fudge, chocolate peanut butter bars, brownies, chocolate pecan cookies, Boston cream cupcakes, and much more.
A donation account has been set up at Community First Bank under ‘Simms Fire Account’. Donations can be made there and bake sale contributions will be deposited there to help the family with gas, food, clothing, medical, and other expenses until they can get back on their feet.
