A nice gesture
The storm that rolled through earlier today sent the American flag to the ground at the Butler Senior Center, and Gary Bollweg of Bollweg Electric came to the rescue. A broken rope was the cause of the issue and had to be replaced along with the flag. Bollweg made quick work of correcting the situation and his efforts are greatly appreciated.
Public Service Announcement From Heather Diehl Farmers Insurance
Well folks, that storm front that came through had some hellacious winds! It took the reader board right off my sign posts! I literally chased the boards down the street trying to catch them before they hit a vehicle!
The letters are probably blocks away by now haha! Thank you to the kind boy that came running to help me out in the road, the cars that stopped with caution, Mr. Bill Beck for taking one side that I was trying to manhandle in the wind and rain and Mr Jason Wix for bringing back some letters he collected at the gas station! I appreciate you all!
So, there will be a small delay with our sign "messages/quotes" while we get a replacement put up! But, they will be back hopefully soon- they lift us up just as much as they do you!

Multiple Power Outages Reported In Harrisonville and Cass County
HAPPENING NOW: Multiple power outages have been reported throughout #Harrisonville and #CassCounty, as thunderstorms move into our area.
These storms have knocked out the S-2 circuit, which provides power to the southwestern portion of town.
The City Electric Department is aware of the outages and will be working to restore power throughout the area. Please give them room to operate.We appreciate your patience during this time.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE: The thunderstorms that recently moved through #Harrisonville have taken down a 3-phase power pole on the southwest side of town.
This will affect both residential and commercial customers who received power from that pole.
Our Electric Dept. crews are actively working to restore power in the area but replacing the pole will take some time. Again, we appreciate your patience during this time.
Thunderstorms inbound...
A few months ago, a TV weather man casually mentioned that western Missouri and eastern Kansas was going to get more rain than normal through the end of July.
That prediction is turning out to be true, and today is shaping up to prove it. A line of heavy thunderstorms will be here at any moment, followed by at least another round or two later on.
You can view live radar HERE.

Jubilee Grand Marshal announced
The Amsterdam Jubilee is proud to announce the 2019 Grand Marshal of the 43rd Annual Amsterdam Jubilee, Linda Leister Case.
Sometimes in this world it takes a singular person to organize and make sure things get done. Often these people are lost in the shadows of others and seldom want to be in any kind of a spotlight. We firmly believe that this person deserves to have a day in the spotlight.
She has been married to the love of her life for 56 years, the mother of 3 children, blessed with 8 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
She is a member of the Amsterdam Methodist Church, where she has taught Sunday and Bible School. She has presided as Lay Minster in the Methodist Church.
She has coached Miami Softball and was an Amsterdam 4 H leader for many years.
Most recently, she is the organizer of the Amsterdam Missouri Friendship Club. This club is more than a club. They are the centerpiece to most everything that happens in Amsterdam. If there is a fundraiser, funeral meal or something for the kids, The Friendship Club is there. It takes a lot to keep this going. That job is not easy and this person is the best at doing just that.
She is not one to be in the spotlight, but this year we have thought it was time to do just that.
