Messy Morning Commute
Don't let those breaks in the snowfall fool you. We have more snow on the way this morning. Cold road surfaces have quickly made roads slick, especially on untreated surfaces. Please use caution today and take your time getting to your destination.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, January 25, 2010 at 3:00 pm at Atkinson Funeral Home, Harrisonville, MO, with visitation beginning at 2:00 pm. Flowers or contributions to PulmonaryFibrosis.org are welcome.
Mike was born September 10, 1950 in St. Joseph, Missouri, the son of Joseph and Betty (Brigman) Evans. Mike attended St. Joseph Schools and enlisted in the United States Army at the age of 17. He retired with the rank of E-6 Staff Sergeant after 21 years of service to his country. He worked for Phillips Roxanne, now known as Boehringer Ingelheim, in St. Joseph, Missouri from 1976 to 1981, then went on to work for Consolidated School District #1 in Hickman Mills, Kansas City, Missouri from 1981 until he retired after 25 years in 2006.
On August 16, 1974, Michael married Deborah Layden in Newport News, Virginia. They were happily married for 45 years when he passed away in her arms. They meant the world to each other and vowed that their love for each other would continue after death. Mike was a good man that was loved by everyone he me. He was a loyal and loving husband. He was a loving father and no child could have ever asked for a better one. He loved all children and welcomed them into his heart and if they wanted to call him grandpa, it didn’t matter if they were biological or not, he would be their grandpa. Mike spent many years managing and coaching girls softball and he touched so many children’s lives that they have never forgotten him. Mike and Debbie spent a few years as snowbirds in Arizona and Texas, where they fell in love with the Superstition Mountains. Mike’s final wishes are that his ashes be sprinkled in the Superstition Mountains so that he could run free and climb mountains for the rest of eternity.
Mike was preceded in death by his mother, Betty; father, Joe; brother, Kenneth Evans; sister, Linda Hanceross; brother, John Hanceross; and sister-in-law, Anna Brigman. He is survived by his wife, Debbie Evans; his children: Katelyn Evans of Harrisonville; Jennifer (Matt) Kerns of St. Joseph; Amy (Joey) Fernandez of Harrisonville; Leisa Hunsel of Belton; and Michael Evans of Fullerton, CA. Mike is also survived by his brother, Jim (Kathy) Brigman of Spring, TX and sister, Bridgette (Larry) Kissick of Warsaw, MO. Mike will be so missed by his grandsons: Isaac (grandpa’s buddy) and Joey Fernandez; granddaughters: Makayla and Bailey Kerns; and many nieces and nephews who loved him so much.

Flashback - fire destroys long time business
On this date in history A spectacular blaze levels Noe’s Drug and Jewelry store on the North side of the square. Also damaged is the Lewis store in the Horn Building and Carolyn’s Dress Shop in the Arnold Building. Picture was taken just days before the fire in 1940.
The business started in 1909 when H.L. Noe and brother, Wood, opened a jewelry store in Hill City, KS. The brothers parted ways and H.L. moved to Butler and opened on the north side of the Butler Square. Noe's offered jewelry, a pharmacy, optometry and a soda fountain. After the fire, they rebuilt and H.L. continued until his death in 1950. In the early 1950's another fire burned the business to the ground but again they rebuilt. One of his sons, Bill, took over and operated until his death in 2000. -courtesy Poplar Heights Living History Farm
Vehicle theft in Adrian
The Deputy located shoe prints near where the truck was parked. He also located tire marks where the suspect spun the tires when he was leaving. The Deputy then left the scene to conduct an area canvass. During his canvass he observed a gray Chevrolet Colorado parked behind a residence.
The suspect was also in possession of a clear glass pipe that field tested positive for methamphetamine.
The Deputy exited his patrol vehicle and approached the truck on foot. The license plate on the truck matched the license plate of the stolen truck. The suspect was inside the truck trying to get it to move forward in the mud.
The Deputy gave the suspect commands to turn off the truck and exit it which he did. The suspect was taken into custody and transported to the Bates county Jail where he admitted to stealing the truck.
The suspect was also in possession of a clear glass pipe that field tested positive for methamphetamine.
Due to the Supreme Court Ruling the suspect was booked and released. A probable cause statement will be sent to the Prosecuting Attorney for his review of charges of Theft of a vehicle, Driving while Revoked and Possession of a Controlled Substance and Paraphernalia.
