Football Sign Ups In Butler
While it seems a little early to be thinking about football, there is some concern about what our sign up numbers will be this year, about how many teams we will be able to have and what age groups those will be; so we are trying to get out ahead of any issues.
Fees for this season will stay the same: $100 for tackle and $45 for flag. Please plan to pay fees at time of sign-up, but note we will hold all checks until August 1st… until we can be sure we will have teams for players. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Missouri Department of Conservation's Free Fishing Days June 9th and 10th
During Free Fishing Days, anyone may fish in the Show-Me State without having to buy a fishing permit, trout permit, or trout park daily tag.
Aside from not needing permits, other fishing regulations remain in effect, such as limits on size and number of fish an angler may keep. Special permits may still be required at some county, city, or private fishing areas. Trespass laws remain in effect on private property.
Conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish, and Free Fishing Days encourages people to sample the state's abundant fishing opportunities. Missouri has more than a million acres of surface water, and most of it provides great fishing. More than 200 different fish species are found in Missouri, with more than 20 of them being game fish for the state's more than 1.1 million anglers.
For information on Missouri fishing regulations, fish identification, and more, get a copy of MDC's 2018 Summary of Missouri Fishing Regulations where permits are sold, or online at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/Zqr.
For extensive information on getting started fishing, identifying fish species, finding places to fish, regulations, and more, visit MDC online at huntfish.mdc.mo.gov/fishing.
The proper handling of caught fish is important to release them unharmed. Get tips and techniques through this MDC video on Fish Handling Tips at youtube.com/watch?v=L0xfBTG5UQs.
MDC’s free MO Fishing mobile app helps anglers find the best places to fish in Missouri, access regulation information, identify fish by species, and more. Anglers can also buy, store, and show fishing permits right on their mobile devices. MO Fishing is available for download through Google Play for Android devices or the App Store for Apple devices. Learn more at mdc.mo.gov/contact-engage/mobile-apps/mo-fishing.

Bates County Route V CLOSED for Bridge Replacement & Rehabilitation Beginning Week of June 4
Bates County – Bates County Route V north of Foster will be CLOSED starting the week of June 4 when the bridge over the Marais Des Cygnes River is replaced and the bridge over Pecan Creek is rehabilitated, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.
Contractor crews will replace the Marais Des Cygnes River with a longer, slightly wider bridge. The Pecan Creek bridge will get a new deck, or driving surface, and also will be slightly wider than the current structure.
The closure of Route V will encompass both bridges. Drivers will not be able to travel between SW 178 Road and NW 1002 Road.
No detour will be signed on this project. Drivers are urged to find alternate routes around the work zone.
Drivers can get to entrances on either end of the closure. However, they will not be able to cross the bridges during construction. Road signs and message boards will alert drivers to the bridge closings. Weather and/or scheduling delays could alter the work schedule.
Project background:
- Prime Contractor: Phillips Hardy Inc., Columbia
- Completion Date: November 1, 2018 (However, the contractor expects Route V to reopen to traffic by mid-September)
- Total project cost: $2.5 million
