Free paper recycling available for local businesses

In an effort to eliminate paper waste, protect our natural resources and help the environment, the Butler High School science department in cooperation with Kaysinger Recycling and Disposal in Clinton is establishing a community wide paper recycling program and needs help from local businesses. You can help by allowing the science department to place a recycling bin in your office which will be picked up every Friday. All proceeds earned from this program will be applied directly back into the science department at the high school. The program is FREE to participating businesses and to the high school. For more information, contact Julie Diehl at the Butler high school at 660-679-6121 ext 247 and to have a bin delivered to your business. Shredded paper, copier paper and staples in paper are accepted.

Miami Eagles advance to semi finals

After an exciting win last night over over North Andrew 61-40, the Eagles (5-5) will now advance to semi final action this Friday and will play St. Joseph Christian (9-1). The game will be played at Miami and the action starts at 7 p.m. Winners of the semi finals will play in the championship at Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis on November 26th.
An interesting note-the Eagles game last night was tied at the end of the first quarter 20-20, tied 34-34 at the half; by the end of the 3rd, the Eagles pulled ahead to 55-40 and went on to win 61-40.

'Good deed' didn't go unnoticed

Friday morning just before 9 a.m., a passer by driving just south of the stop light in Butler couldn't help but notice a grey, frightened house cat crouching in the middle of Business 71 highway. Apparently the cat found him/herself in the middle of a busy roadway and decided to stay put, instead of risking a potentially deadly run to safety. 
The passer by slowed and veered around the cat and headed towards the hospital to drop off someone for an appointment. A few minutes later, the passer by was headed back towards the stoplight and was delighted to see a local emergency vehicle had stopped traffic, with red lights flashing, as the driver shooed the cat into an alley to safety. All was well and traffic was again flowing as normal.
Kudos to the emergency personnel who took a few minutes to help an animal that might have met a terrible fate, your good deed is greatly appreciated.

Miami wins 61 to 40

The Eagles will now advance to the semifinals on Nov. 12th to play St. Joseph Christian or Hardin Central. 

End of the 3rd- Miami pulls ahead 55 to 40

After being tied 34 -34 at the half, the Eagles currently outscore North Andrew 55 to 40.
