Midwest Lumber greets many at Grand Reopening today
While a much larger crowd is expected tomorrow, even today it was tough finding a parking spot as the store is offering all types of giveaways, discount specials, tools and info for do-it-yourself home improvement.
Some of the deals include a chance to win a Weber gas grill; buy one, get one free Easy Care paint; 20% off all items you can fit in a Greener Options Reusable bag; up to 50% off furnace filters and much more.
Event omitted, our apologies...
We neglected to mention in this week's 'Your Weekend Planner' story that tomorrow is not only the Drexel Fall Festival, but is also the Drexel City Wide Garage Sale as well.
So as you head to Drexel this weekend plan on spending a little more time (and possibly a little cash) visiting the many garage sales all over town.

From the desk of Senator David Pearce
When we think of the colors of fall, we typically think of those vivid shades of orange, red and yellow, falling leaves and harvested fields. There is, however, one exception. The month of October is also known as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and with the profusion of pink ribbons found everywhere from cereal boxes to NFL uniforms, it serves to remind us that this disease is not merely a month long. Breast cancer does not only occur or get diagnosed in the month of October. Breast cancer is a disease that affects hundreds of thousands of families every year. What the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was founded to do was to teach the average person the watchwords of this disease: early detection.

Bears make comeback after tough loss in Jr. high FB action
On Thursday, Sept 15, the Butler Bears junior high football team travelled to Holden for their first game of the season. The Bears lost a tough game by a final score of 6-35. Offensively, the Bears failed to sustain consistent drives, only finding the end zone late in the 4th quarter. Defensively, the Bears gave up big plays in early drives, putting the game well out of reach before the offense could develop a rhythm. Holden dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. In spite of a stout Holden defense, QB Kaleb Kauffman had several breakout runs for a total of 107 yards on the ground. Punter Zeph Smith launched 2 booming punts for 32 and 40 yards, respectively. Defensively, LB Trevor Fritts led the Bears with 6 tackles, 1 solo and 5 assisted.

Sheriff's Posse Poker Run nets over $600 for Museum fund
Perfect late Summer weather- clear skies, moderate temps and few bugs.... this was the setting for the Sheriff's Posse Poker Run Sunday afternoon where Randy Hough was the lucky winner of $100 with his 'full house' after making several stops around the area.
A total of 45 bikes were registered for the ride, drawing folks from all around on the run that started at Plunkett Bowl and ended at new home of the Law Enforcement Museum on Fort Scott street. A total of about $600 was raised during the event which will be put into the museum building fund- which at this time is earmarked to put new roof on the 100+ year old building.
Bates County Live spoke with BCSO Administrative Assistant Jami Page earlier today, who emphasized that the Posse is keeping the fundraising momentum going with a rummage sale this Saturday to be held in the parking lot of the Sheriff's office. To make a donation, contact Jami at 660-679-3232 or through the Posse Facebook page here.

Postal service rally to be held in Harrisonville this Tuesday
The Postal Service is in danger of financial collapse---but not for the reasons you might think. The problem is that a bill Congress passed in 2006 is pushing the Postal Service into bankruptcy. The law imposes a
burden on the USPS that no other government agency or private company bears. It requires the Postal Service to pay a 75-year liability in just 10 years - to "pre-Fund" healthcare benefits for future retirees. This
congressional mandate costs the USPS more than $5 Billion a year, and it is the cause of the Postal Service's financial crisis. H.R. 1351 introduced by Rep. Lynch, would allow the Postal Service to apply the
billions of dollars in pension OVERPAYMENTS to meet the Postal Service's financial obligations. The Postal Service doesn't run on tax dollars. It is funded solely by the sale of stamps and postage. H.R. 1351 doesn't call for a bailout. It would allow the Postal Service to apply its EXCESS retirement payments to meet its financial obligations.

Notes from the Butler City Council meeting Tuesday evening:
In other Council news, that Visioning Committee from Drury University in Springfield, means business. They are showing that the study they're making to help improve Butler, is not just a school class project.
As we told you after a recent meeting, they are studying our community and are coming up with good ideas, such as a community center, but also of the need for a grocery in the downtown area, and other constructive thinking.

You might have noticed...
that there are two page counters at the bottom of the Bates County Live home page. One shows 37x,xxx and the other 42x,xxx. We recently discovered that the original 37x,xxx counter only increments when someone actually goes to the BatesCountyLive.com home page- however, that counter does not increment correctly when someone links in from say, our Facebook page or other sources.
Confused yet? We were. After some investigation we discovered a somewhat hidden, embedded counter (shown on the right) that shows the real total of hits on the site, regardless of where they came from. As of today, the total all time hits is shown as 432,514 which is substantially more than the 37x,xxx currently shown on our page counter.
So we are experimenting with the 42x,xxx counter in an attempt to show the true number of all hits on the bottom of our home page. Not as to brag in any way, but to show our potential advertisers a very accurate volume of our web traffic (point being that regardless of where someone lands on our site, advertising is always visible).
Still confused? Don't worry, just know that we were happy to discover that the site has actually got more hits than we thought and wanted to thank everyone for their continued support!

Bond refinancing saves a cool million for Butler R-V
The Board of Education of the Butler R-V School unanimously voted on September 14, 2011 to refinance its Series 2006 Bonds resulting in an estimated reduction of future interest by $1,020,853. The reoffered yields on the $6,145,000 Series 2011 Refunding Bonds range from 0.50% to 3.15% compared to the reoffered yield of 3.75% to 4.375% on the Series 2006 Bonds used for classroom additions and remodeling improvements to the elementary and high school buildings. As Superintendent of Schools, I am excited and support the refunding option selected by the Board of Education. This plan allows some principal to be pushed forward in the first four years by absorbing the interest savings and thereafter permits the annual interest savings to boost debt service fund balances. It provides the most flexibility for the District to issue a future general obligation bond issue with voter approval within the existing debt service levy structure, blend in our current lease, or pay off bonds early.
