Don Malan running for Bates County Presiding Commissioner

To those who do not know me, I want to take this time to introduce myself. My name is Don Malan, born and raised on a farm in the north east area of Bates county. 

My parents were Cecil Malan and Lena Mae Herrmann Malan. Members of the Herrmann family are still farming and raising their families in this same community. I have two daughters, Jana Malan Allen and Jamie Malan McMorris both graduates of Butler High School. I have been in business in Butler for 50 years. 

First, as the owner of Don’s APCO, which was on the corner of Dakota and Business 71 then in 2000 Don’s Tire and Service Center at 106 South Sunset in Butler. In 1985, I ventured into the towing business and continue to assist people over a wide area.

I am a member of the Butler First Christian Church as well as a member and past president of the Butler rotary club. I served nine years on the Butler City Council before being elected Mayor for two terms. 

We must have forward thinking mentality for job creation, growth and stability. I will continue to support these efforts as your Bates County Presiding Commissioner.

Please ELECT Don Malan on November 6th.

Brick Heads Fund Raiser Successful

Bates County Robotics had another successful fund raiser thanks to the John Deere battery powered tractor donated by Heritage Tractor. The winner is the Streit family of Adrian. The winning ticket was picked by the robot which was built and programmed at the Western Missouri Antique Tractor and Machinery Association Show June 22, 23, and 24 at Frontier Village in Adrian. Veteran Brick Heads, Isaiah Salazar and Trewin Wright built the robot with assistant coach Mike Bowlin keeping watch on them. The robot was then programed to go through the team’s arena selecting tickets; then those not selected were removed. The selected tickets were thrown on the arena, and the robot ran again selecting just one winner. Eric Copsey is still learning to work with the NXT Robot system, but he is learning more all the time. Eric got to be the starter of the robot, and the selection process went as planned. The team’s design was interesting, as this robot might be considered a variant of a combine.

Bates County Robotics has programs for kids 6-9 years, 10-14 years, and 14-18 years. Meetings are announced on the Bates County Robotics facebook page.
