Home Heating Fire Prevention Tips
Heating equipment caused an annual average of 44,210 home fires and 480 deaths between 2016 and 2020 according to the National Fire Protection Association.
Learn how to stay safe with these tips:
- Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from heat sources
- Never leave a space heater unattended. Turn off when leaving a room or sleeping
- Never plug a space heater into an extension cord or power strip
- Never use a cooking stove to heat your home or dry clothes
- Space heaters on level, flat surfaces on the ground
- Have a qualified service professional inspect your heating system annually
- Install and maintain smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms
- Never use a space heater or any appliance with a damaged cord
A dandy donation

Emergency services in route near Adrian
Also a vehicle vs snowplow accident is currently working on I-49 just north of AA highway, in the southbound lanes.
Please use caution if traveling through either of these areas, it is being reported that traffic congestion is becoming an issue.
UPDATE 2:51 pm: I-49 has reopened in both directions.
Regarding low flying aircraft...
RESTON, Va. — Low-level airplane flights are planned over a broad region in Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas to image geology using airborne geophysical technology.
The survey will be conducted from early October 2024 for approximately 8 months, weather and wildfire restrictions permitting.
Flights will cover areas within the Missouri counties of Barry, Barton, Bates, Benton, Boone, Callaway, Camden Cass, Cedar, Christian, Cole, Cooper, Crawford, Dade, Dallas, Dent, Douglas, Franklin, Gasconade, Greene, Henry, Hickory, Howell, Jackson, Jasper, Johnson, Laclede, Lawrence, Madison, Maries, McDonald, Miller, Moniteau, Morgan, Newton, Osage, Ozark, Pettis, Phelps, Polk, Pulaski, Shannon, St. Charles, St. Clair, Stone, Taney, Texas, Version, Warren Washington Webster, and Wright; Kansas counties of Allen, Anderson, Bourbon, Cherokee, Franklin, Johnson, Labette, and Neosho; and Arkansas counties of Benton, Carroll, Crawford, Franklin, Madison, and Washington.
The scientific instruments on the planes are completely passive with no emissions that pose a risk to humans, animals, or plant life. No photography or video data will be collected. The data collected will be made freely available to the public once complete. The aircraft will be flown by experienced pilots who are specially trained and approved for low-level flying. The company works with the FAA to ensure flights are safe and in accordance with U.S. law. The surveys will be conducted during daylight hours only.
The Ozark Plateau survey will connect adjacent high-resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric surveys from Southeast Missouri and Western Illinois collected from 2018 to 2019, Central Arkansas-Southern Missouri collected from 2022 to 2023, and Northwest Arkansas from 2019 to 2020, providing continuous high-resolution coverage across the southern Midcontinent.
The new geophysical data will be processed to develop high-resolution three-dimensional representations of bedrock composition and structure to depths more than 3,280 feet (1 kilometer) below the surface.
The 3D models and maps are important for improving our understanding of critical mineral resource potential, water resources, groundwater pathways near legacy mining areas, parameters for infrastructure and land use planning, and potential risks of naturally occurring radon.
The survey fits into a broader effort by the USGS, the Geological Surveys of Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas, and many other state geological surveys and partners, including private companies, academics, and state and federal agencies to modernize our understanding of the Nation’s fundamental geologic framework and knowledge of mineral resources. This effort is known as the Earth Mapping Resources Initiative, and it includes airborne geophysical surveys like this one, geochemical reconnaissance surveys, topographic mapping using LiDAR technology, hyperspectral surveys, and geologic mapping projects.
The USGS has contracted Woolpert Inc., who has subcontracted EON Geosciences Inc., to collect the data.
Obituary - Lisa Courtois
Lisa grew up in Pleasanton, KS. Where she would graduate high school in 1984. As a teenager, she worked for her Grandmother at the Dari-Kurl, and was even crowned Pleasanton 4th of July Queen, later crowning her little sister. She had the nickname “Mouse” because she was so quiet.
On July 6, 1986 Lisa married Marvin Peters. They welcomed their first son Zachery David on October 4, 1987 and their second son Adam Tyler on December 29, 1990.
Lisa was a stay at home mom, serving on the school board for 10+ years. As badly as she wanted girls, Lisa was and LOVED being a boy mom. Although she would often steal Shaunntai when she felt the need for a girl. She loved watching them in all their sports even helping them learn and practice. Basketball being her favorite. She lived her #21’s! Lisa went to all school functions and was rarely seen without her boys.
Lisa loved to color and paint or do anything artistic. She enjoyed being outside, warm weather, swimming, traveling, spending time with her great nieces, nephews, and grandchildren, and attending many concerts. She enjoyed heavy metal and rock music often accompanied by her sister who eventually although they butt heads became her best friend. They even had matching tattoos. Lisa also had an undying love for Henry Cavaill (Super-man) and Sam Elliott.
Lisa’s witty and upbeat personality will truly be missed. She fought a long hard illness and is now at peace.
Lisa is survived by her children Zac Peters (Wendy Montes) of Mesa, AZ. Adam Peters (Robyn) of Pittsburg, KS. Three grandchildren Andrew, Grayson, Elise with another on the way. A special niece and caregiver Shaunntai Purdy (Wesley Staton) of Butler, Mo. A sister Jeannie Anderson (Terry) of Pleasanton, KS and a brother Richie Courtois of Overland Park, KS. Many nieces, nephews, and greats. She is preceded in death by her parents Richard and Jean Courtois.
A Celebration of Life visitation will be held from 5:00 to 7:00 pm on Thursday, February 20, 2025 at Schneider Funeral Home and Cremations, Pleasanton Chapel. The family suggests contributions to Good Shepherd Hospice in memory of Lisa. Friends and family may leave online condolences at www.schneiderfunerals.com.
