Altona 4-H News‏


The members of the Altona 4-H held our annual Thanksgiving dinner on Wednesday, November 14, 2012. This year we held it at the Adrian Optimist Club building. Thank you to the Adrian Optimist Club for allowing us to meet in your facility.  After a great dinner, president Katie Frankenfield called the meeting to order with a welcome and thanked Vanessa Tallman and Rhonda Walley for organizing the dinner.  Katie lead us in the pledges to the American and 4-H flags. Secretary, Jennifer Willerton, called the roll with 47 members present. Jennifer read the minutes from the previous meeting. Katie gave a report on the weenie roast and hayride. Club leader, Todd Frankenfield, went over a list of projects needing project leaders and took volunteers to lead. He also talked about project leader paper work and the volunteer orientation.  New business included an invitation to the Adrian Chamber of Commerce Christmas parade. We decided to have an entry. Steven Doody will drive the truck and we need to meet at the Adrian commuter parking lot at 3:05 to decorate and make our way to the parade start line. Each float rider will need to bring a bag of candy to throw. Treasurer, Bailey Collier, presented the club with 2 bills to be paid. Each was voted on and approved to pay. Katie handed out the fair premiums from the Bates County Fair and she handed out the year of service pins to members, Clover Kids and project leaders.  We discussed our December club meeting and we will make goody trays for area neighbors. Each family will need to bring 3 fruit, a dozen cookies and two bags of candy. Three families volunteered to bring sugar-free candy and cookies.  Seeing no further business, the meeting was adjourned.  Our next meeting will be December 12th , 6:30 at the Altona Community Building.

Copper theft possible in the area...

Copper Thefts from Utility Poles- thieves could move into Bates County

Cass County - Investigators with the Cass County Sheriff's Office are asking for the public's help in identifying anyone stealing copper in the southeastern portion of the county. Since September the Sheriff's Office has received reports concerning theft of copper from utility poles. Investigators and the utility companies believe that the suspect(s) are climbing the poles and stealing the wire. Officials with Osage-Valley Electric Cooperative tell investigators that their company uses "bucket trucks" when conducting repairs and work on power lines.

If you see anyone CLIMBING a utility pole, DO NOT APPROACH! Get a description of the climber and any vehicles. Drive to a safe area and call 9-1-1 or dispatch at 816-380-5200 (in Cass County) or 660-679-3232 (in Bates County) with the location of the pole and the description information.
