Progress as promised...

The new Adrian Clinic at Main and Virginia streets has really taken shape over the last few weeks as exterior walls are up and the roof is now being built. Smith Construction of Butler is the general contractor on the project and the December completion looks to be on track.

The previous clinic building was deemed unsafe and demolished earlier this year. 

Contrasting colors...

Seems like every year we get a different mix of colors as trees and shrubs make their winter transition. And there's a good reason for that, according to Missouri Conservationist magazine:

Just how much does weather affect fall foliage? And, why do leaves change colors in the fall? 

Botanists tell us that plants change as the earth tilts on its axis. This causes reduced light concentration. In addition, the days begin to grow shorter and darker, and the weather grows cooler from about mid-September to mid-October (unless you live in sunny Florida.)

Normally, during the warmer months of spring and summer, plants convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar. This process, called "photosynthesis", simply means that a chemical known as chlorophyll gives plants their green color during spring and summer. Therefore, when temperatures cool and days grow shorter, leaves start to change.

Why are there several colors when leaves change? 

Let's examine a few fall colors....

Reds---If you notice the progression of colors, you find that red often appears first. That's because cooler nights change the sugars inside leaves to a red pigment, as cooler evening temperatures prohibit sugars from moving out of the leaves. For example, in trees such as maples, sugar (or glucose) is ensnared in the leaves because the process of making plant food (known as photosynthesis) stops.

Oranges and Yellows---Because the days become shorter and drier, as well as the fact that plants discontinue manufacturing food in the fall, the chlorophyll in leaves also disappears. That's when we admire the rich yellows and oranges in place of green leaves. In reality, these colors were inside the leaves in the warmer months of spring and summer, but you couldn't see them as the green from chlorophyll covered them up.

Browns---On the other hand, the brown leaves we see in trees such as oaks are a result of wastes left in the leaves.

What determines whether we'll a spectacular fall?

Fall foliage is different every year, due to weather. When a drought has continued through spring and summer, it's not so much that the leaves won't give a colorful fall foliage. It's just that the health of trees suffers, so the leaves probably won't be as brilliant. In reality, the best fall foliage occurs when dry sunny days of an Indian summer are followed by cool, dry nights.

New addition at Yoss Thriftway completed

Construction of a new ramp and storage area at Yoss Thriftway in Adrian was recently completed and is ready for service. The ramp will certainly reduce the amount of unloading time, as the previous method required the use of a forklift and a fair amount of physical labor.

The new building adds about 1,000 square feet of dry storage and will serve as a receiving area for items as the trucks are unloaded. The added storage space also means that more items may be purchased in bulk, which will ultimately result in a savings to customers.

Adrian man receives serious injuries in Cass County accident

A 2004 Dodge Neon driven by Daniel P. Keating, 52, of Adrian collided with a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier driven by Trent W. Gregory, 31, of Deepwater last night around 10:30 pm. The accident happened at the intersection of 7 Highway and Route T in Cass county as the Keating car pulled into the path of the Gregory car at the intersection. A passenger in the Keating car, Kevin L. Mueller, 48, of Adrian received serious injuries and was transported to Centerpoint Hospital by LifeFlight; a passenger of the Gregory car Tina F. Gregory, 29, of Deepwater also received serious injuries and was transported to St. Luke's hospital.  Both vehicles were totaled.

Pembroke Hill teen killed in ATV crash near Amsterdam

BBQ Championship gearing up

Although the official kickoff isn't until 4:30 this afternoon, the Bates County Fairgrounds is already bustling with people and activity this morning. Bates County Live spoke with Brandon Plunkett, President of the Butler Police association regarding the event "This has grown every year since we started five years ago. The number of people attending has been anywhere between 3,000 and 10,000 people, and with the really good weather this year we're expecting another big turn out". As of 10 a.m. this morning, booths with 4-H clubs, FFA clubs, churches, Boy Scouts and more were already in place preparing for a busy weekend.

Plunkett himself will also be going nonstop as the Butler Police Association will be selling McBee's Brats starting at 5 pm tonight, plus his duties of overseeing the set up of the BBQ contest and other activities. "Last year we had 39 teams in the cook-off. This year, we have 69 signed up. Its gonna be busy". He went on to say that included in the 69 teams will be 6 or 7 that are in the top 10 in the nation- all of which will be contending for their share of $8,300 in payouts and an invitation to the American Royal championship coming up.

During our conversation, Plunkett wanted to express a hearty thank-you to Butler Country Mart for sponsoring the cook off and wanted to remind everyone t-shirts will be for sale on site with the logo above for $10.

Blackhawks prevail 40 - 20

The Blackhawks score early on a first and goal situation upping the ante 34 - 14. The following play the Bears rally to bring the board to 34 - 20 with a 58 yard run. Returning the favor, the Blackhawks find a hole in the Bears defense and up the tally to 40 - 20 with 5:26 left in the game. Adrian kicks off within a few inches of their own goal some 47 yards with 2:10 left;  the Bears fumble as they work their way down the field, resulting in their 5th turnover of the night and a 40 - 20 loss to the Blackhawks.

Both teams will be in playoff action next Wednesday night and opposing teams will be announced as soon as possible.

Butler gains ground; Adrian leads 28-14

After digging out from their own 2 yard line, the Bears allow a fumble resulting in another touchdown and extra point for the Blackhawks. The Bears bounce back with a 40 yard return out of the chute and ultimately another 8 points on the board, bringing the score to 28 - 14 at the end of the 3rd.

Half time - Blackhawks 21, Bears 6

Blackhawks score early bringing the tally to 21-6. The Bears regain control of the field with an interception with 2:38 on the clock but are unable to make the 90 yd drive to the uprights.

Adrian leads 14 to 6

Adrian scores with the help of an interception early in the game; the Bears come back shortly after, but miss the extra point.  Score is 14 -6 Adrian at the end of the first quarter.

Freeze warning tonight

The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for Bates County and surrounding areas. Temps are forecast to drop to around 30 degrees tonight, however upper 20's may be possible in some areas.

Bates County Live officially adds audio counterpart...

In order to expand our local media services, Bates County Live has added a formal  internet based radio station www.WIFI-FM.com which is home based here in Bates County. Currently, the station is playing 60's rock and roll oldies; we have considered a strait news and talk format with no music. However, we are very welcome to suggestions on what format might be best suited for our local listeners.


Although WIFI-FM is currently playing a pre-recorded mix, we have the ability to go live at any time, at any location where internet (wireless or other) is available. This means we can stream an event, such as a football game, grand opening, etc. live all over the world, literally. A perfect solution for those who are not in the area, or otherwise unable to attend. 


Likewise, we are working to add podcasts (pre-recorded) audio news and events to our web site which you may listen to at your convenience. More information regarding podcasts will be coming in the near future. In the past, we have covered some events with recorded video news, which we will continue to add as time goes on. At this time, there are no plans for live video feeds.


In the meantime, we welcome comments regarding WIFI-FM, including any problems you may have connecting to the station. Inability to connect may mean that we need to up the bandwidth necessary to accommodate added listeners. You may contact us by email or phone at 913-669-5848.

Just added to our calendar is the Butler Church of the Nazarene Trunk or Treat event this Sunday evening. Ghosts and goblins can safely trick or treat in the parking lot of the church located at the corner of Nursery and Delaware streets. The fun starts at 5:30 pm.
