 City of Archie Water Customers:  

On Monday, February 17, 2025, beginning at 8:00AM, the water department will be performing a whole town shut down of water services in order to tie in a new six inch water line going down South Missouri Street from A Highway to Pine Street.  The department will attempt to isolate the section they will be working on, but if that isn't possible, the whole town will be shut down during the tie in.  We apologize for this inconvenience, though it is necessary to move forward with the new line in our distribution system.  There have been four new valves installed on this line which aid in getting us closer to preventing multiple whole town shut downs.  Thank you for your patience as we work to improve our City water system.

Pursuit And Arrest In Bates County

 On Monday, February 10th, 2025, at approximately 12:30am Bates County Dispatch received a request for assistance from the Linn County Kansas Sheriff’s Office in reference to a pursuit that was entering Bates County.   The pursuit began on 69 Highway and was entering Bates County on 52 Highway.  Deputies got into position to assist and to attempt to deploy tire deflating devices.

The pursuit continued from the Kansas state line to Butler.  During the pursuit the passenger began to throw items like flashlights and canned vegetables.  One of the canned vegetables struck a patrol vehicle’s windshield causing it to shatter.  The pursuit continued with speeds over 100mph and entered the City of Butler and continued through Butler with speeds over 80mph.  At the intersection of Austin and Broadway the vehicle came head on with the Sheriff’s truck.  The vehicle attempted to swerve around the patrol truck when the Sheriff initiated a PIT maneuver on the vehicle.   The vehicle and Sheriff’s truck came to rest in the yard at that intersection. 

The driver, Shelby McGee 06-15-96, of Independence, MO was taken into custody.  The passenger, Chad Thompson, 04-20-94, of Smithville, Mo, was also taken into custody. 

McGee has active warrants out of Clay County for Larceny and Burglary in the 1st Degree with a bond of $75,000 cash and surety.

Thompson has active warrants out of Clay County for Property Damage and Burglary in the 1st Degree and his bond is $100,000 cash or surety. 

During a search of the vehicle multiple bags of a white crystalline substance were located on them and in the vehicle.  Both McGee and Thompson face multiple felony charges in Bates County.  The Sheriff was seen at the hospital for an injury to his hand that occurred during the arrest and released.   

“This was team work with Butler Police Department, Linn County Sheriff’s Office and the Bates County Sheriff’s Office.   Tonight we stopped a dangerous pursuit and took career criminals off the street.”  Said Sheriff Anderson.

Prairie City / Rockville Chili Supper

 


921 Transmitter Change Monday, February 10th

 Things are getting back to normal at 92.1 after the winter ice storm damaged the transmitter that broadcasts our sound. 

For the first time since 1962, we were off the air for an unbelievable and grueling 2 weeks. 

The Transmitter was damaged after it tried to function on only phase 1 electricity.. it was just too much for it to handle and the transmitter  shut itself down before it caught on fire. 

The good news is.. the transmitter has been replaced and will be installed on Monday, February 10th at approximately 2 pm. 

The change should not take over 30 minutes. We will be off the air except for broadcasting live through streaming at  921news.com.

 This style of broadcast continues through satellite magic… without a transmitter. Thanks for your support during this challenge.

Jerry Dean Petty, age 74 of Wheatland, Missouri passed away Sunday, January 26, 2025 at Overland Park Regional Medical Center in Overland Park, Kansas.

Jerry was born November 15, 1950 to John and Peg (Summers) Petty in Wagner, South Dakota.  Jerry, the middle of five children, lived several places before the family settled back in Adrian, Missouri.  Jerry was a member of the Adrian High School Class of 1969.

Jerry married Nancy Richards on February 1, 1969 and to this union, two daughters were born, Kelli and Karli.  He joined the United States Navy in 1970 and served two years during Vietnam on the USS Ranger.  He and Nancy then made their home in Adrian.  The rest of his career was spent driving a truck.

Jerry was a proud member of the VFW.  He was serving as Post Commander of the Galmey Post at the time of his death.

Jerry loved Busch Light, fast cars and making people laugh.  He would literally give anyone the shirt off his back, except maybe his wife. Many referred to him as “Big Papa” although he only had 10 actual grandkids, he acquired countless over the years, all of which fought over who was his favorite.  Jerry was a local legend.  He was the guy you called when your motor wouldn't start, your deck needed fixing or you just needed someone to have a drink with.  He never told you he couldn't help, even if his family complained about it. 

Jerry was preceded in death by his father, John Petty; father and mother-in-law, Gene and Betty Richards; and a sister, Cheryl Bagby.  He is survived by his wife, Nancy Petty of the home; his mother, Peg Petty; two daughters, Kelli Heckadon (Perry) of Butler, Missouri and Karli Romine (Ken) of Lansing, Kansas; 10 grandchildren, Danika (Rocky), Drew, Chase (Gretchen), DeMarco, Peyten, Tristen, Kolt, Jaylon, Wyatt and Kole; and three brothers, Steve (Linda), Denny and John "Bufe" (Jonna) Petty.  He also leaves behind many nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
