An update on the fox from Officer Totten:

On 06/02/2018 at 0730 hours I was contacted by Tawnya Reber, the rescue caregiver. She said that Nick the young Fox ( my youngest daughter named him Nick in honor of a deceased grandpa) healthy and missing his family. She asked if I would like to be the one to return him to the wild.

I picked him up from her on my way home from work. I transported him to my home where he stayed until midnight that same evening. My wife brought him to the Harrisonville Police Station at midnight. Along with her were our youngest son and youngest daughter. This was a learning experience in returning a wild animal .I knew they would benefit from. 

Sgt. Pearce, Dispatcher Kendra, my wife, two kids and myself took Nick the fox to the same place where we found him a few days ago. We carried the crate into the woodline. When we opened the crate he stepped out slowly. He went about 15 yards then stopped, turned around and looked back at us. He paced on into the woods.

We stood there for a couple minutes listening. We finally heard his high pitched bark and chirping vocalizations in the distance. For another couple of minutes there was only silence. Then we heard the sounds we were hoping for. High pitched barks and chirps were multiplied. He had found his family.

In this job we see and hear a lot of the negative parts of life. Society is collectively inundated with negativity.
The positive response and support from the community we serve has been amazing. So we thought we would share this happy ending with you.

Power Outage Update from KCP&L

Storm Update: Currently, we have approximately 33,000 customers remaining without power (down from a peak of 90,000 customers), which is nearly 65% of affected customers restored.

We currently have hundreds of employees and contractors working on restoration, including tree crews, troublemen, linemen and materials personnel. We have requested additional resources from neighboring utilities as well.

While continue to be optimistic that we will restore a large number of customers today, restoration efforts will likely continue into tomorrow. We will overnight to continue repairs. We encourage all customers to stay away from any downed power lines.




News about the Trail of Memories in Butler

The Trail of Memories is a beloved memorial to Debra Bledsoe and so many others who have passed away around the Bates County community. New memorials on the Trail had been suspended last fall pending decisions on how to best to care for the Trail and move forward. The Trail is under the administration of the Bates County Community Health Foundation (BCCHF).


BCCHF has approved a new plan for the Trail. Effective immediately, all memorial trees purchased in memory of a loved one, which are presently on the Trail, will be guaranteed for a period of three years. After such time, should a tree need replaced, it will be the responsibility of the purchaser. All NEW trees purchased from now on are guaranteed for three years from purchase. The cost for a tree is now $200.

Memorial benches are again available for purchase. The new price is $400 which includes two lines of engraving (the name of the person memorialized, and their date of birth/death; additional lines are available if desired for $35 each). Benches are guaranteed also for a period of three years.

BCCHF wants you to know that the increase in prices was taken very seriously. It is our desire to maintain and care for the Trail long into the future and the costs of doing so are always rising, especially as the Trail expands. Proceeds from the sale of trees and benches are used for the maintenance and upkeep of the Trail, and also fund the annual Debra Bledsoe Memorial Scholarship, given to a student from Bates County pursuing a healthcare career. It is our intention that these increased prices assure both goals are met long into the future.

Tree and Bench purchase forms are available at Bates County Memorial Hospital, from any BCCHF Board member, or by contacting Greg Mullinax at 660-679-0009. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continuing the Trail which has become special to so many in our area.
