Ridin' The Storm Out, Posse Style!
The Bates County Sheriff's Posse, a volunteer support organization for the Bates County Sheriff's Office, is preparing basic emergency storm kits. The Sheriff's Posse was formed in 2009 and provides support to the Sheriff's Office during county events. The Posse can be called on for traffic and crowd control, search and rescue missions, and support for natural disasters. The Sheriff's Posse has recently purchased the old Pioneer Museum on Ft. Scott street in Butler and will be restoring the building and turning it into a Law Enforcement Museum for the community to enjoy the history of law enforcement in our county.
The kits will be available for purchase and include basic necessity items such as: emergency blanket, candles, matches, gloves, flash lights, batteries, toilet paper, and bottles of water. These kits can be purchased for $25 or if you wish to purchase a kit with a weather radio the cost will be $45. The Sheriff's Posse encourages the purchasers of the kit to keep them in the basement or the room that has been designated as the safe room in your house. The proceeds from the kits will be used by the Posse to fund the organization's activities. Along with the items mentioned above your kit will include a first aid kit (bandages, latex gloves, face mask, alcohol wipes, gauze, burn cream, triple antibiotic ointment, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, ice pack, medical tape) and activities for your family, as you "ride out the storm."
If you are interested in purchasing a Storm Kit please contact Jami Page or Jalyn Rosier at the Bates County Sheriff's Office, 660-679-3232

52 highway Miami Creek bridge update...
Diesel dives while gas prices rise...
Those who drive diesel powered vehicles are pleased but we gas-aholics are seeing the numbers go back up. While Bates County enjoys slightly lower prices than some our neighbors, we did see that Kansas City stations were selling go juice for $3.49 for gasoline and $3.43 for diesel yesterday afternoon.
On the local front, the Drexel Casey's boasted unleaded for $3.32 and diesel for a few pennies more at $3.39 this morning.
Online sources are saying it's just a 'supply and demand' thing and both types of fuels are expected to go back up in the near future.
To the diesel folks we say enjoy it while you can!

Discussion of rezoning in Butler continues...
Notes from the Butler City Council meeting last night
It was commercial versus residential at the Butler City County Meeting on Tuesday evening as property owners of the north side of West Ft. Scott street going east from Rice Road to Prospect Avenue came before the City County with concerns regarding the rezoning of their properties from a R-2 Single Family Residential District to C-3 Highway Commercial District.
The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on Tuesday May 8th to consider this rezoning and after the public hearing made a recommendation to the Council to approve the proposed rezoning of these properties. Jim Conley, along with other residents in the affected area, spoke with the Council about their concerns regarding insurance and tax problems that may occur if this rezoning moves forward at this time. One resident, Al Hallibut spoke to the Council and stated that he would like for his property to be rezoned for Commercial so that he would be able to sell it as a commercial property. After much discussion the Council voted to table the motion to allow City Attorney Tom Addleman to review the documentation regarding the rezoning and the issue will be brought up again in the July meeting.
Fire Chief Jim Henry addressed the proposed Ordinance 949 to amend the City Code regarding building inspections and the issuance of Residential Occupancy Permits and informed the Council that this was not a change to the Ordinance but just a clarification of Ordinance already in place. The Council approved the Ordinance.
The Council approved Resolution 388 which enabled Mediacom to continue to use the City’s poles and facilities for the purpose of construction, operation and maintenance of a cable system. The City will remain the owner of the utility poles and entered into a pole attachment agreement which will allow Mediacom to utilize certain City-owned utility poles.
Other guests addressing the Council included Hank Klumb on lawn mowing and Peggy Flint, who needed a clarification as to whether or not cats needed to be placed on a leash when on their own property. City Attorney Addleman told the council as long as cats had a collar and proper ID no leash should be required.
Eugene Miller asked for a variance application so that he would be able to park in his front yard next the street. Code Officer Jim Wheatley informed the Council that legal issues were pending on this matter regarding the parking and the Council agreed to wait until the legal issues were resolved before acting on his application.
Next Council meeting will be July 3rd at 7pm.
