Adrian Frontier Village Sheriff’s Office and Jail a great success
The Sheriff and one Deputy patrolled the grounds looking for train robbers, bank robbers and criminals alike. They were assisted by their trusty horses Deputy Hank and Deputy Mo.
Several kids and adults were rounded up and held in the slammer until bond could be posted on their behalf. 2 wooden nickles were required for bond! The kids and adults alike enjoyed playing the roll of being a bad guy. But rest assured that before leaving the slammer each one received a deputy badge and a commission to enforce the laws.
Many of the kids had never had an opportunity to sit on a horse prior to Saturday and we were happy to give them the opportunity to get in the saddle with Deputy Hank and Deputy Mo.
The Sheriff’s Office is proud of the relationship with the Western Missouri Antique Tractor Association and appreciates them allowing us to be part of this great community asset.
“We take pride in our relationship with community civic groups to better our community.” Says Sheriff Anderson. “Showing our youth that we are approachable and having that relationship may prevent them from being hesitant in approaching us in a time of need or tragedy.”

Darlene's infectious spirit touched the hearts of many, and she had a deep affection for the Grinch, which always brought a smile to her face.

Darlene's family is deeply grateful for the compassionate care and support provided by her caregivers, nurses, and doctors over the years. In her short time with us, Darly taught us the power of resilience, love, and laughter in the face of adversity. She will forever be remembered for her unwavering spirit and the light she brought to the world. May she rest in peace, forever cherished in our hearts.
Throughout her life, Darly was surrounded by a loving family, including her father, Derek (Tracy) Sanders; her mother, Teresa Elmore; her paternal grandparents, Jack (Barbara) Sanders; her sister, Emily (John Mancuso) Sanders; her brother, Ryan (MaKayla) Sanders; her step-brother, Trevor Kudzinski; her step-sister, Jodi Kudzinski; her niece, Paisley Sanders; and her nephew, Preston Sanders.
