Lineworkers from Missouri complete first day in field in Louisiana
Lineworkers with Missouri’s electric cooperatives completed their first full day in the field in Louisiana on Thursday, assisting in the restoration of power for members of DEMCO Electric Cooperative following Hurricane Ida.
DEMCO’s 9,000-mile system suffered extreme damage following Ida, with overwhelming damage to both transmission and distribution lines. The work is vast and treacherous across the seven parishes they serve.
Their efforts are made more strenuous due to the wet, swampy terrain around the greater Baton Rouge area coupled with the swath of damage Ida left behind. Missouri’s lineworkers have used everything in their arsenal, including boats and utility vehicles to help bring down the outage numbers.
When Missouri’s lineworkers arrived in Baton Rouge, there were more than 80,000 members without power. As of Friday morning, that number has been shaved down by around 30,000. However, much work remains as just under 50 percent of DEMCO members are without power.
Missouri’s co-ops sent 173 lineworkers to Louisiana, representing 31 distribution and two transmission rural electric cooperatives. Also assisting DEMCO are cooperative lineworkers from Kentucky, Oklahoma and Florida.
Missouri’s restoration efforts in Louisiana are spearheaded by the Association of Missouri Electric Cooperatives. The Jefferson City-based association represents all 47 of Missouri’s electric cooperatives.

Dear Adrian Parents/Guardians:
Dear Adrian Parents/Guardians:
We are reaching out to you today to inform you of a new cases of COVID-19 at the Adrian School District. The individual was last present in the school on Tuesday, August 31, 2021. The District is working with the Bates County Health Department to identify close contacts of the confirmed case.
If a student or staff member has been determined to have been in close contact with this individual, you will be contacted with further instructions. If you are not contacted, there is nothing further you need to do at this time.
The District is taking all precautions, consistent with the CDC and Bates County Health Department. Due to privacy requirements, we cannot release the name of the individual or details that may identify them.
Appropriate cleaning and disinfecting measures are being taken, so there is no need to close our building for additional cleaning.
COVID-19 is thought to be spread via person-to-person contact through contaminated air droplets from coughing and sneezing by an infected person. As with controlling the spread of other viruses, we urge everyone to take the following preventive measures:
Stay home when you are sick and wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.
If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.
Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, then throw the tissue away and wash your hands. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze into your arm.
As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.
Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.
Maintain at least 6 feet of distance between non-household members and wear a mask in places where maintaining that distance is difficult.
Be alert for symptoms including…
Fever of 100.4° or higher
Any new cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
New congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
Close contact with a person with COVID-19 in the last 14 days
We are continuing to monitor this situation and will provide additional information as needed. If you have any questions regarding COVID, you can contact the Bates County Health Department at 660-679-6108.
Sincerely,
Don Lile
Superintendent
Adrian R-III School District
State Farm student athlete of the week
He stated “as a junior, Brendin has turned into a leader both on the field and in the school. He shows great character and is willing to help out at any given time.” When we asked Brendin to describe in his own words what it takes to become an elite athlete he stated “it’s what they do behind the scene when no one is watching that sets them apart from the rest”.
Brendin states his goal after high school is to obtain a four year degree and play football or wrestle in college. We want to congratulate Brendin and wish him and the Bears the best of luck with the rest of the season.
They take on Sherwood tonight at 7 p.m. Pictured from left to right Kellie Davidson, State Farm; Brendin Patrick son of Mike and CJ Patrick; Butler Head Football Coach Gregg Webb.
