National 4-H week starts Sunday

Did you know that according to a 4-H Positive Youth Development Study, generally 4-H’ers are:

Less likely to have sexual intercourse by Grade 10?
56% more likely to spend more hours exercising or being physically active?
Shown to have had significantly lower drug, alcohol and cigarette use than their peers?

And the benefits of those active in 4-H go way beyond these things to encompass overall better living as the official pledge written in 1918 states: I pledge my head to clearer thinking,my heart to greater loyalty,my hands to larger service and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world.


The foundations of 4-H began around the start of the twentieth century, with the work of several people in different areas of the United States. The focal point of 4-H has been the idea of practical and hands-on learning, which came from the desire to make public school education more connected to rural life. Early programs tied both public and private resources together to benefit rural youth.

While it was originally targeted at youth in farming communities, 4-H continues to develop new projects for its members to study beyond agriculture and animal husbandry, including photography, conservation, cooking, public speaking, shooting sports, history, art, and other pursuits. 4-H has also grown to include education in arts and sciences; and to encourage fellowship and service opportunities as well.

There are 13 4-H clubs in Bates County with more than 300 members total: All American 4-H; Altona 4-H; Amsterdam 4-H; Ballard 4-H; Busy Beavers 4-H; County Line 4-H; Foster Clover Leaf 4-H; Hudson Hustlers 4-H; Peru Star 4-H; Summit Go-Getters 4-H; V-52 4-H; Willing Workers 4-H and Woodland 4-H club.

For more information about joining your local club or to volunteer, contact Alan Mundey at the Bates County Extension Office at 660-679-4167 or visit the Extension web site here.

Lumber's Grand Reopening today and tomorrow

Event omitted, our apologies...

We neglected to mention in this week's 'Your Weekend Planner' story that tomorrow is not only the Drexel Fall Festival, but is also the Drexel City Wide Garage Sale as well.

So as you head to Drexel this weekend plan on spending a little more time (and possibly a little cash) visiting the many garage sales all over town.

Facts for the Future

When we think of the colors of fall, we typically think of those vivid shades of orange, red and yellow, falling leaves and harvested fields. There is, however, one exception. The month of October is also known as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and with the profusion of pink ribbons found everywhere from cereal boxes to NFL uniforms, it serves to remind us that this disease is not merely a month long. Breast cancer does not only occur or get diagnosed in the month of October. Breast cancer is a disease that affects hundreds of thousands of families every year. What the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was founded to do was to teach the average person the watchwords of this disease: early detection.

According to the American Cancer Society, breast cancer is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in women. It is estimated that approximately 39,970 women and 450 men in the United States will die from breast cancer this year. It is projected that 230,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2011. About 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in her life, but the odds of a woman succumbing to this disease have decreased to 1 in 35. Mortality rates have been slowly dropping since 1990 as medical advancements are made and screenings have become more prevalent. Simply put, early detection is the key.

In Missouri, the General Assembly passed legislation in 2006 creating the Show-Me Healthy Women Program, designed to reduce the number of breast cancer and cervical cancer cases in our state by providing free breast and cervical cancer screenings to age- and income-eligible women. It can’t be said too many times — early detection is critical. When caught early, the five-year relative survival rate for breast cancer victims is greater than 95 percent. The program’s services are provided at more than 165 sites throughout Missouri by doctors’ offices, community health centers, university-based teaching institutions, hospitals and clinics. Women between the ages of 35 and 64, who are uninsured or underinsured, and meet the income guidelines, can contact Show-Me Healthy Women by phone at 573-522-2845, by e-mail atinfo@dhss.mo.gov, or online at www.dhss.mo.gov/BreastCervCancer to find the nearest provider and learn more about potential eligibility and making an appointment for these free or low-cost early detection screening services.

Although scientists are working on treatments, there is nothing that can prevent breast cancer. However, steps can be taken to decrease the risk and increase the odds that, should a woman be diagnosed with breast cancer, it can be caught at an early, more treatable, stage. It is imperative to perform regular self-exams, begin getting mammograms at 50, and consult with your physician regularly, as each of these can spur early detection. Many breast cancer risk factors cannot be altered — like gender, genetics, age, or family history — but other factors that lead to breast cancer can be reduced by simply limiting alcohol use, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy weight. I urge everyone to make this extra effort — it could potentially save your or a loved one’s life.

For more information about breast cancer, including resources for breast cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers, visit the American Cancer Society’s website at www.cancer.org.

This subject is one that is close to my heart. I lost my mother, Loneta Pearce, to breast cancer in 1990. Through education and early detection, I hope to help reduce the number of lives affected in the future.

As always, please feel free to contact me or my staff with any questions or concerns at any time. We look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions and trying to answer any questions you may have. You can reach us by phone at 866-277-0882 (toll-free) or 573-751-2272, or by fax at 573-526-7381.

Civil War Heritage Day set for Oct. 8th

Dr. Jeremy Neely, Bates County Native, to Present Program at Museum

The 4th Annual Civil War Heritage Day event at the Bates County Museum is scheduled for Saturday, October 8, 2011 at 10:00 am and a program presented by Dr. Jeremy Neely will feature content from his book, The Border Between Them: Violence and Reconciliation on the Kansas-Missouri Line. Jeremy is a native of Bates County and grew-up in the town of Adrian. He received his doctorate in history from the University of Missouri and his book is published by the University of Missouri Press. Jeremy has become one of Missouri’s most highly respected authorities on the Missouri-Kansas conflict. He and his family now make their home in Vernon County.



In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, the Museum’s theme for the 2011 Heritage Day is, “The Civil War Officially Begins.” Jeremy will discuss the years prior to the official start of the war, which laid the groundwork for what happened in Bates County. He will highlight ways in which the fighting here foreshadowed important changes in the way that the war would be fought elsewhere in years to come. The complexities of Missouri’s political persuasions will also be discussed including the issues of slavery, the Island Mound battle and how a kind of ‘total war’ was waged along the border. Jeremy’s research and the publication of his book have brought the wartime history of this region into the light of awareness and many historians have begun to look seriously at the circumstances of the war along this border.

Following the presentation, the Museum will host a free-will-offering Soup & Chili Dinner. All are invited to attend the free program and are encouraged to stay and enjoy dinner. This is the Museum’s final program for the 2011 season. For further information please call the Museum at 660-679-0134.

Bears make comeback after tough loss in Jr. high FB action

On Thursday, Sept 15, the Butler Bears junior high football team travelled to Holden for their first game of the season. The Bears lost a tough game by a final score of 6-35. Offensively, the Bears failed to sustain consistent drives, only finding the end zone late in the 4th quarter. Defensively, the Bears gave up big plays in early drives, putting the game well out of reach before the offense could develop a rhythm. Holden dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. In spite of a stout Holden defense, QB Kaleb Kauffman had several breakout runs for a total of 107 yards on the ground. Punter Zeph Smith launched 2 booming punts for 32 and 40 yards, respectively. Defensively, LB Trevor Fritts led the Bears with 6 tackles, 1 solo and 5 assisted.


On Monday, Sept 19, the Butler Bears junior high football team travelled to Sherwood for their second game of the season. The Bears won a hard-fought game by a final score of 6-0. The Bears offense managed to find more running room in the first half but could not manage to get into the endzone. The Bears defense played a much-improved game over last Thursday night, stopping Sherwood on a number of 4th downs and forcing them to punt from beyond midfield, giving the Bears much better field position in this game. In the 4th quarter, QB Kaleb Kauffman ran for a crucial 1st down on a 4th and long play to give the Bears a chance to score. Hayden Derry, on a second 4th down play in the same drive, found TE Zach Burch wide open on a pass for a 20 yd touchdown. The conversion attempt by Derry was unsuccessful.

The ensuing kickoff put the Marksmen in great field position. The Bears defense bent but didn’t break, finishing the game by stopping the Marksmen four times on the goal line. On third down, DL Dakota Hulse sacked the Marksmen quarterback for a short loss. On the final play of the game, LB Tanner Diehl and DB Dylan Morris wrapped up the ball carrier well short of the goal line, securing a Butler victory. QB Kaleb Kauffman led the Bears statistically on both sides of the ball. He carried for 34 yds on 8 carries. RB Hayden Derry completed a 20 yard touchdown pass, his only attempt of the night. Kauffman led the Bears in tackles, 3 solo tackles with 9 assists. DL Robert Anderson followed with 3 solo tackles and 6 assists. Zeph Smith launched a great punt in the first half for 45 yards, setting the Bears up nicely on defense.

Perfect late Summer weather- clear skies, moderate temps and few bugs.... this was the setting for the Sheriff's Posse Poker Run Sunday afternoon where Randy Hough was the lucky winner of $100 with his 'full house' after making several stops around the area.

A total of 45 bikes were registered for the ride, drawing folks from all around on the run that started at Plunkett Bowl and ended at new home of the Law Enforcement Museum on Fort Scott street. A total of about $600 was raised during the event which will be put into the museum building fund- which at this time is earmarked to put new roof on the 100+ year old building.

Bates County Live spoke with BCSO Administrative Assistant Jami Page earlier today, who emphasized that the Posse is keeping the fundraising momentum going with a rummage sale this Saturday to be held in the parking lot of the Sheriff's office.  To make a donation, contact Jami at 660-679-3232 or through the Posse Facebook page here.

Postal service rally to be held in Harrisonville this Tuesday

The Postal Service is in danger of financial collapse---but not for the reasons you might think. The problem is that a bill Congress passed in 2006 is pushing the Postal Service into bankruptcy. The law imposes a
burden on the USPS that no other government agency or private company bears. It requires the Postal Service to pay a 75-year liability in just 10 years - to "pre-Fund" healthcare benefits for future retirees. This
congressional mandate costs the USPS more than $5 Billion a year, and it is the cause of the Postal Service's financial crisis. H.R. 1351 introduced by Rep. Lynch, would allow the Postal Service to apply the
billions of dollars in pension OVERPAYMENTS to meet the Postal Service's financial obligations. The Postal Service doesn't run on tax dollars. It is funded solely by the sale of stamps and postage. H.R. 1351 doesn't call for a bailout. It would allow the Postal Service to apply its EXCESS retirement payments to meet its financial obligations. 

A rally will be held in Harrisonville at 1909 N. Commercial on Sept. 27 between 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. to inform the public and request 4th District Rep. Vicky Hartzler to co-sponsor H.R. 1351. Visit www.saveamericaspostalservice.org for more information.
