Attention area 4-H members
Sheriff Anderson guest speaker at Butler Chamber luncheon today
Bates County Sheriff Chad Anderson was the featured speaker at the Butler Area Chamber of Commerce luncheon today and spoke about how we can better protect ourselves as crime surges at every level.
The discussion included some good advice for avoiding online scams as well as the use of security cameras at home and offices, which have greatly dropped in cost. He also reminded everyone to stay vigilant and know your surroundings at all times, among other important safety topics related to protecting homes and family.
The Chamber wishes to thank him again for an excellent program.
Be on the lookout near Pleasanton
From the city of Pleasanton, Kanas: A suspect has fled the scene of a warrant arrest today and is described as a white male in his 30's, 5'6, 149 pounds, with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a white shirt and blue jeans.
If anyone sees a person matching this description, call the Pleasanton Police Department at 913-352-8257.
Another cold snap next week
As the forecast indicates that we'll see precipitation along with sub zero temps, it's likely we could be an issue in the coming days.
Good news, we should have dry roads on Sunday if you're planning on attending a Superbowl party.
In the spirit!
The Butler Elementary PTSO donated some awesome Chiefs decorations to the elementary school in preparation for the big game this weekend. Go Chiefs!
