Know which Foods to Pitch after a Power Outage
From Tammy Roberts, Nutrition and Health Education Specialist
There is speculation by many that there may be more severe weather than usual this spring. Severe spring weather can mean loss of electricity. If the power is out for more than two hours it is important to know how to assure the foods in your refrigerator and freezer are safe.
Once the electricity goes off, the average full freezer will hold temperatures for 48 hours. A half-full freezer will hold a freezing temperature for 24 hours. “You can extend this time by filling the freezer with newspaper or blankets as soon as the electricity goes off” said Tammy Roberts from University of Missouri Extension. She also said that is important to only open the freezer door when absolutely necessary.

Improving Ballot Initiatives
From the desk of Senator David Pearce
In 2010, Proposition B was placed on the November ballot by initiative petition. Prop B called for stricter regulations on Missouri’s dog breeders, seemingly for the good of the animals. However, when an initiative is placed on the ballot, the language sometimes lacks complete clarity and specifics.
Proposition B barely passed with 51.6 percent of the votes in the state and passed in only 13 counties. In the 31st Senatorial District, it failed by 64.8 percent total. In Bates County, the no votes were a majority by 79.7 percent, in Johnson County by 57.6 percent, and in Vernon County by 73.5 percent. It did pass in Cass County by a narrow 51.7 percent. It had lofty goals to prevent animal abuse, but like other ballot initiatives, it was not brought through the thorough bill drafting and review process that occurs in the General Assembly to work out its problems.

Atmos customers to see rate drop
To reflect estimated changes in the wholesale cost of natural gas, Atmos Energy Corporation (Atmos) customers will see natural gas rates drop under a filing that takes effect on April 1, 2012.
West District (Butler, Rich Hill/Hume): Residential customers currently pay approximately $0.54 per Ccf of natural gas. Under this filing, the rate will drop to approximately $0.42 per Ccf, a decrease of approximately $0.12 per Ccf. Atmos serves West District customers in the Missouri counties of Bates, Cass, Henry and St. Clair.
Approximately 65% to 75% of a customer's natural gas bill reflects the cost of natural gas from wholesale suppliers. The wholesale cost of natural gas (the cost your local natural gas company must pay to its suppliers for natural gas) is not regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission. The wellhead cost of natural gas is unregulated and is primarily driven by supply, demand and the weather. The Missouri Public Service Commission does conduct an annual regulatory review to ensure that regulated natural gas companies make prudent decisions in securing natural gas supplies for their customers.
Atmos serves approximately 56,300 natural gas customers in Missouri.

A little help with your Spring cleaning...
Butler area Girl Scouts are inviting you to join us for our first ever recycle and freecycle event on Saturday, April 14th from 10:00 to 2:00 on the Butler square.
We will be accepting batteries of all kinds to help our girls get to camp.
Old cell phones will be recycled to women's shelters for emergency use.
Bates County Industries will be on hand to take other recyclables including plastic, paper, cardboard, textiles etc. (Sorry no glass yet). You do not need to sort it.
There will be a “freecycle” as well. Bring items that you no longer want or need, including clothes, toys, baby stuff, household goods, etc. and take home items that others have brought. Bring a little or bring a lot. Any unclaimed items at the end of the event will be donated to the new Food Pantry Thrift Store.
Any questions, please email Kathy at earthnoodle@gmail.com. Hope to see you there!
