The march of the Monarch
Many of the monarchs we see this time of year in Missouri are part of the massive southward migration of monarchs to their winter sanctuaries in Mexico (track their migration at www.learner.org/jnorth/monarch). Though monarchs produce several broods during the summer and fall months, it is the final fall generation that makes the arduous cross-country trip. This generation will live longer than the others — 7 to 8 months rather than the typical 4 to 5 weeks. These same butterflies will return to the southern U.S. in the spring. Their shorter-lived offspring will continue migrating northward over subsequent generations.
Big night for Beth Coleman; Lady Bears get first win of season
The Lady Bears softball team got their first win of the season by beating Adrian Monday night, 4-3. The girls took the lead in the third inning and kept it for the rest of the game. Abby McGrew was 2 for 3. Tori Stauffacher went 2 for 4 with 2 runs. Beth Coleman was 1 for 3 with a monsterous double that brought in 3 runners. Tori's pitching was superb. She struck out 11 and only walked 1.
The JV Lady Bears suffered their first loss of the season by losing to Adrian 4-5.

MSHP Urges Safe Boating Practices Over Holiday Weekend
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reminds boaters to take extra precautions and prepare for increased traffic on the water for the upcoming Labor Day weekend. Many Missourians have been safely enjoying the state’s lakes, rivers, and streams this year. Last year, over the holiday weekend, there were two boating fatalities and two drowning deaths in Missouri.
The Highway Patrol reminds boaters not to let boating safety practices slide as the summer draws to a close. Remain vigilant and stay alert. Don’t become a victim.

Scammers at it again...
Bates County Recorder of Deeds Lucille Mundey urges county residents to be wary of mail offers to provide copies of legal documents.
The Recorders' Association of Missouri recently notified Recorders about a private company’s offer to obtain copies of property deeds that charge homeowners an excessive fee. The Fulton, Missouri company, Record Retrieval, has mailed the offer to residents of Missouri's counties.
Property owners have received a letter offering an official certified copy of their deed for $87.00 or more. These companies simply contact the recorder’s office to obtain the document and then turn around and mail it to the homeowner while charging them the higher fees.
Mundey said most property owners obtained their original property deed when their property was purchased.
It is also noted that this company's offer costs significantly more than obtaining certified property deeds directly from the Bates County Recorder’s Office. Fees are $1 per page, plus $1 for the certification and most property deeds are no more than one or two pages which usually will cost around $3.00.
Missouri recorders are concerned about companies trying to take advantage of our citizens by not being truthful. If anyone receives one of these letters, you are urged to ignore it.
For information or to obtain a copy of your property deed, you may visit the Bates County Recorder’s Office in the Bates County Courthouse or call the office at 660-679-3611.

In this world of media exposure, it comes as no surprise that there are predators out there. Every day it seems the news broadcasts yet another story of a child being taken advantage of or abused.

I know that we can’t wrap our children in bubble wrap or keep them safe at home forever, but we can feel safe when we send them to school, at least.

Butler Youth Center to reopen in September
Starting in September on Tuesdays and Thursday, 75-80 kids will fill the Butler Youth Center at the old high school. While preparations for the 18th year are going smoothly, Kris Jenkins, president of the BCYAC, says that the Center has many needs. “That many kids takes a great deal of basic supplies. Just think what you need for a family of 5 and then multiply that by 15!”
The Center which operates totally on free will donations would appreciate the help of the community and businesses. “While there is a constant need for financial donations to help pay our staff, there are many other ways you can help,” said Jenkins.

Tough luck for Lady Bears
Tuesday night the Lady Bears softball team lost to Lamar 1-6. Even through the loss, the girls are showing a great deal of improvement over last season. Tori Stauffacher pitched a solid game. She struck out 1 and only walked 3. In 10 hits, Lamar was only allowed 4 earned runs. Offensively, the girls struggled; however, Beth Coleman delivered the team's only run in the bottom of the 7th inning with a solo homerun hit deep into the left field corner.
The JV Lady Bears tied 6-6 in a 3 inning game.

Your next option is to order on line but you also know it's better to be able to look at and touch the items to insure that it's exactly what you're looking for... the whole process can be a real dilemma.
