irefighters from Adrian,
Amsterdam and Butler
spilled onto the parking lot
of Wilson Tire Company (former
Walmart) property Saturday, all
reporting to training exercises
that were designed to update and
sharpen their skills—while having
fun as well.
The routines, known as the First
Annual Firefighters Challenge, kept
all involved hopping from 9 a.m. to
about 1 p.m.
Butler Fire Department Deputy
Chief Jason Bennett directed the
various rounds of timed events that
ended with the Butler department
ranked first; Adrian second; Amsterdam third.
Butler Fire Chief Jim Henry said
the placements were close.
“There was only six points difference between the competing
teams,” he said.

Rezoning issue placed on hold
The News Xpress
Mayor Don Malan and the Butler City Council held later than
usual at the council meeting Tuesday night.
There was lengthy discussion on
rezoning a property at 904 West Ft.
Scott Street from R-2 single family
status to C-3 (commercial) highway.
This matter of concern surfaced
recently when Allen Hellebuyck
learned that a residence he rehabbed for commercial use at that
address is classified as residential.
A public hearing on that question
was included on the agenda.
Jim Conley, who with his wife
live next door to the Hellebuyck
project noted the change to commercial would hike their insurance
(via a rider) to from $300-$500 a
year.
“If we were to sell our house it
could not be sold as a residential
structure,” Conley said. Several
other residents in that block also
attended the meeting as did Hellebuyck.
City Administrator Mark Arbuthnot referred to the City’s long
range comprehensive plan that in-
dicates the entire area on West Fort
Scott will eventually be rezoned as
commercial.
The subject of zoning Hellebuyck’s property as commercial might
be considered in a “spot zoning”
move which is not all that rare,
but probably not applicable at this
time.
Mayor Malan eventually closed
the session and the consensus of
the council was to go into further
research pending a final decision.

Overwhelmed by Quilt of Valor
By Kate Wehlann
Salem (Ore.) Leader-Democrat
The Quilt of Valor Foundation’s quilts are generally
given to veterans wounded
- mentally, emotionally or
physically - in war; however, the American Combat
Veterans of War made an
exception for Fred Nolen
of Livonia, a long-time
psychologist, author and
recognized expert on posttraumatic stress disorder.
He was awarded a quilt,
emblazoned with the U.S.
Marine eagle, globe and
anchor, on Jan. 26 in San
Diego, Calif., for his work
with soldiers returning
home with trauma.
n Nolen is a 1966 graduate of Butler High School and
son of Boyce and Jean Nolen,
former residents of Butler.
“We have what we call
the HOW (Honor Our
Warriors) program and

Nolen served in the

Emphasis on

Unified Equine’s Wallis says
assertions to the contrary
are absolutely false
The News Xpress
From her office in Wyoming, Sue Wallis, CEO of
Unified Equine Missouri LLC, adamantly denied assertions that the firm’s work force would be virtually
all Hispanics.
“That is absolutely not true, nothing could be further from the truth,” Wallis, a rancher and state legislator said in a phone conversation with the News Xpress.
She was directing her
displeasure to Cynthia
MacPherson, a Mountain Grove attorney who
was a key figure in keeping Unified Equine out of
her city in March.
In last week’s news story, MacPherson predicted
Unified Equine would
bring in Hispanic workers to what presumably
will be a horse slaughter
house in Rockville.
Wallis said MacPherSue Wallis
son’s comments were
laced with racial slurs.
“It’s long been our policy to give local workers—
and veterans—top priority in our search for employees,” she stressed.

Public demonstration of
‘ham’ radio operation
Bates County • Despite
the Internet, cell phones,
email and modern communications, every year
whole regions find themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and
even the occasional cutting
of fiber optic cables leave
people without the means
to communicate.
In these cases, the one
consistent service that
has never failed has been
Amateur Radio. These radio operators, often called
“hams” provide backup
communications for everything from the American
Red Cross to FEMA and
even for the International
Space Station. Your local
“hams” will join with thousands of other Amateur
Radio operators showing
their emergency capabilities this weekend.
Over the past year, the
news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical
communications
during
unexpected emergencies
in towns across America
including the California
wildfires, winter storms,
tornadoes and other events
world-wide. When trouble
is brewing, Amateur Radio’s people are often the
first to provide rescuers
with critical information
and communications.
On the weekend of June
23-24, the public will have
a chance to meet and talk
with Bates County’s ham
radio operators and see for
themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about
as hams across the USA
will be holding public demonstrations of emergency
communications abilities.
This annual event,
called “Field Day” is the
climax of the week long
“Amateur Radio Week”
sponsored by the ARRL,
the national association
for Amateur Radio. Using only emergency power
supplies, ham operators
will construct emergency
stations in parks, shopping
malls, schools and backyards around the coun-
emergency response agencies and non-emergency
community services too,
all for free. To learn more
about Amateur Radio, go

org.
try. Their slogan, “When
All Else Fails, Ham Radio
Works” is more than just
words to the hams as they
prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet or any other
infrastructure that can be
compromised in a crisis.
More than 35,000 amateur
radio operators across the
country participated in last
year’s event.
“The fastest way to turn
a crisis into a total disaster is to lose communications,” said Allen Pitts of
the ARRL. “From the
earthquake and tsunami in
Japan to tornadoes in Missouri, ham radio provided
the most reliable communication networks in the
first critical hours of the
events. Because ham radios are not dependent on
the Internet, cell towers or
other infrastructure, they
work when nothing else is
available. We need nothing between us but air.”
In the Adrian area, the
Bates County Amateur
Radio Club will be demonstrating Amateur Radio
at Adrian City Park, near
the Antique Tractor Show
on June 23-24. They invite
the public to come and see
ham radio’s new capabilities and learn how to get
their own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes.
Amateur Radio is growing in the US. There are
now over 700,000 Amateur
Radio licensees in the US,
and more than 2.5 million
around the world. Through
the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Services
program, ham volunteers
provide both emergency
communications for thousands of state and local
The public is most cordially invited to come,
meet and talk with the
hams. See what modern
Amateur Radio can do.
They can even help you get

drawing board.

City Attorney Addleman presented what was
hoped to be a final draft
on the nuisance ordinance.
However, as one councilman stated, “it (the ordinance) still doesn’t cover
all the loopholes.”
A few changes/revisions
were proposed for Addleman to handle. Presumably
all will be ready for official
action at the next council
meeting.

The subject of cats
swung back onto the agenda. Peggy Flint, who owns
cats, said one of her cats
lounges on a cushion on
her porch, which has apparently caused concerns
of neighbors.
Upon making inquiries,
she said she was advised
she would have to keep
her 4 year-old cat on leash.
“All my cats are well fed,
wormed and have taken
their shots.” She added
that the current ordinance
is unclear and neither the
code officer or the police
chief were versed in how
the ordinance operates
and even the city attorney
didn’t understand the definitions connected to the
ordinance.
She said the animal control officer said he would
have to pick up the cat as
per the ordinance.
Councilmen
Simons,
Burg and Boyd said the cat
problem in Butler is ongoing.
“We’ve tried to work out
these problems in a neighborly fashion,” said Boyd.
“There a lot of people who
love cats and a like number
that does not.”
Finally, Flint was told
that if her cat has a collar and tag it would not be
considered feral and would
be free to roam outside
without a leash.

Hank Klumb criticized
the lack of an adequate

chambers.
“I couldn’t hear much of
what’s going on—and I’m
sitting on the front row.”
He also pointed out that
Butler is too small to recruit employees for larger
industries and therefore
emphasis should be placed
on trying to attract smaller
industries.
“Butler-Bates County
needs employment,” he declared. “We’re losing two
businesses, Bank of America and Thorco. Thorco,
for instance is moving its
operation to Nevada and
Lamar because of lower
electricity rates. It looks
like to me we’re going
backwards instead of moving forward.”
He also said inspecting rental properties only,
to him is discrimination.
“Every house should be inspected.”

returning Vietnam veterans.
“Combat Trauma” and his
other two books, “The Casebook of Dissociative Identity Disorder” and “The Inherited Insanity Delusion”
are available for purchase
on Amazon or through Professional Development Resources, a company out of
Jacksonville, Fla.
Nolen said the books
were received “very positively” by the mental health
community as well as combat veterans and their families.
The psychologist spent
much of his professional
life in Missouri, working
in various research facilities and as a faculty member of Columbia College in
Columbia, Mo. He began a
private practice that lasted
between 1978 and 1991. After closing his private practice, he returned to serving
on faculties with various
mental health organizations
and colleges in Indiana and
Kentucky.
Nolen moved to Orange
County after meeting his
wife, who owned a farm in
the area, on Match.com.
He received the call from
ACVOW about a week before they presented him
with the quilt and he called
the award “extremely gratifying.”
“He was overwhelmed,
as most of our honored are,
and Dr. Hawthorne (who
personally awarded the
quilt) said he was moved to
tears,” said Rider. “One of
the reasons we do this is because a lot of these people
who are out working with
our young warriors have
never been honored - never
been validated as part of a
cure for society’s ills, particularly with post-traumatic
stress.”
Rider understands the
impact of post-traumatic
stress, both through working with returning veterans
and through personal experience. The Vietnam veteran
was wounded three times in
battle.
“I was angry when I
came back and most of the
time, [returning soldiers]
aren’t aware that they’re
angry, that they have this
feeling inside of them of
this anxiety and that they
have this adrenaline coursing through their veins,” he
said. “It’s quite horrible and
it’s not going to be anything
that’s diminished in the near
future.”
Rider called Nolen’s recognition “fitting.”
“There is such a thing
as vicarious traumatization
that occurs with a lot of
people who try to help these
young warriors and, almost
through osmosis, they soak
in the trauma through their
experience with these young
warriors, trying to heal
them,” he said. “Dr. Nolen
is exemplary of the type
of people that we honor
and quite frankly, I’m very
pleased to know Dr. Nolen.”

ly in favor of reopening the facility that for years was a beef
processing plant. It’s closing a little over a year ago left approximately 60 employees without jobs to say nothing of a
severe blow to the area economy.
Wallis says it is Unified Equine’s intent to convert the facility to handle horses for slaughter—as early as September.
“We (Unified Equine) have other prospective horse
slaughtering plants ‘waiting in the wings’ in Oklahoma, Wyoming and Oregon,” she said.
She said the thrust of this venture is to acquire “healthy horses for healthy meat.” She added that horses of poorer quality
are processed for zoo diets and pet food.
In response to animal rights activists’ claims that it is impossible to process horse meat humanely, Wallis said, “A single
shot (which is a U.S. Law) is required, and that’s what we do.
Our facility will be designed and managed properly to assure all
animals will be handled in a humane manner.”
As to how soon will Unified Equine be taking applications
for jobs? Wallis said as soon as certain renovations to the building are underway and everything is tied together in purchasing
the facility.
“We have essentially made the deal,” she assured.

Flag Day
celebrated by
DAR chapter
Harmony Mission Chapter DAR met June 11 for
a carry in luncheon at the
park in Rich Hill. Twentytwo members and guests
were present. After a delicious lunch, the meeting
was called to order by Regent Maggie Roberts.
After the opening ritual,
Marylee Mitchell, Honorary State Regent of Hawaii,
installed officers for the
next term: Regent Barbara
Burch; Vice Regent Sharon
Rosendahl; Chaplain, Cindi
Mayer; Secretary Grace Bartz; Corresponding Secretary
Suzanne Dudley; Treasurer
Linda Barr; Registrar Betty
Jean Smith; Historian Beverly Pelkey.
Sharon read the President General’s message that
reminded us of the need for
funds to repair the lay lights
in the NSDAR library. She
also mentioned that Constitution Hall will again be
hosting the Teen Tournament and Power Players editions of Jeopardy.
The Constitution minute
given by Cindi related how
voting rights have changed
through the years to become more equitable. Lylah Linard’s ancestry report
told of Judge John Quick
and his adventurous life
as a frontiersman. “Happy
Birthday” was sung to four
members and committee as-
signments were announced
for the next term.
Flag Day was celebrated
with a program by Marsha
Brelsford that explained the
meaning of each of the thirteen folds of the flag. She
was ably assisted by Cindi
Mayer and Pam Lacy. We

SOCIAL SCENE/PEOPLE
Garden green beans can be canned, dried, pickled or frozen
Hopefully, gardeners will have so many green
beans this year they don’t know what to do with
them. Don’t worry though; there are many ways
that you can preserve green beans so you are eating
your garden’s bounty all winter long.
“If you’re canning your green beans make sure
you are using recipes that were published during
or after 1989” said Tammy Roberts of University
of Missouri Extension. “Many canning processes
changed after that year”. Green beans can only be
canned safely in a pressure canner. Quarts should be
processed at 11 pounds of pressure for 25 minutes.
For those with a weighted gauge canner, process
for the same amount of time at 10 pounds of pressure. (For those above 1,000 feet of sea level nothing
changes for those using a dial pressure gauge. For a
weighted gauge use 15 pounds of pressure for the
same time period. (Only the upper northwest corner
of Bates County is above 1,000 feet.)
“An important thing to remember when freezing
your green beans is that they must be blanched before you freeze them” said Roberts. Blanching stops
the enzyme process that makes the beans continue
to mature even after they are picked. Green beans
should be blanched for three minutes then quick
cooled in ice water before you put them in the freezer.
The suitability for drying green beans is listed as
being fair to good. They must be blanched for two
minutes before they are placed in the dehydrator. For
better texture some people freeze the green beans for
30 to 40 minutes after blanching and before placing
them in the food dehydrator. Drying time is eight to
fourteen hours.
“Another option that many people don’t often think about is pickling your green beans” said
Roberts. She says the recipe is very similar to quick
pickled cucumbers. All pickled products must be
processed in a boiling water bath canner to assure
safety. University of Missouri Extension’s guide
sheet, Pack A Pickled Product, has detailed information on how to prepare and process dilled green
beans. University of Missouri Extension guide
sheets can be found at http://extension.missouri.
edu/publications.
With all of these options, you can offer your family a great variety of foods from just one type of
plant in your garden.

than Marty Clapp. I can’t
tell you how good it was to
see him. During our conversation, I also asked him
to make sure to thank his
brother again for me. His
brother Joe, came upon my
Father’s wreck and sat with
him until the ambulance
and Life Flight showed up.
Thanks again Joe...

HOL stands for House of
Lloyd’s, formerly headquartered in Grandview,
Mo. We got to see some
friends we hadn’t seen
since 2001! It was great
to see everyone and hear
how they are getting along.
Most of us were in our
mid 40’s or older, when
they closed the doors and
detoured our futures. Glad
we have all tried to keep in
touch and able to pull off a
great reunion!
Can you believe Thorco
is closing their doors July
1? I for one am in shock.
That place has been there
for several years. I know,
because I worked there
when it was Kellar Ladders, back in the early 80’s.
We had a great crew then.
Lots of good times. That
was close to 30 years ago.

On a lighter note, I want
to send upcoming birthday
wishes to a dear friend of
the family. Lylah Linard,
we hope you have a wonderful Birthday celebration
and many more to come.
What a sweet Lady...
So very saddened to
hear of Betty Berry’s passing. I had grown up with
all of her children and had
known her for years. Our
thoughts and prayers go
out to all the Family.
At this time, I wanted
to correct myself, from my
last week’s article. I had
mentioned that K U Medical Center had set up a
scholarship in Dean Crist’s
name. What it really was is
a “professionalism award”
in his name, to be given to
the outstanding graduating
resident in Anesthesiology,
whom embodies his same
dedication and service.
Sorry for the error...
I saw my neighbor, Jan
Craft, in the paper this past
week. It was good to see
her presenting memorial
funds, from her mother’s
funeral. What a good idea,
to have benches placed in
the Hume City Park. That
is a very will thought out
way to honor a loved one.
Good article Jan!
I wanted to thank my
good friend and hairstylist,
Teresa Gillespie, for working me in so quickly Friday
afternoon. I always enjoyed catching up with her.
We always have a lot to
talk about while she works
to make me look presentable. Thanks for the nice
visit and nice cut...
I wanted to make mention that there was a great
turnout for my granddaughter’s birthday balloon release last weekend.
I hear that there were balloons released at several
other locations as well. A
lot of love shown for her

In about 1884 when Paris
Clingman Flanary was 19

horse, left Lee County, Va.,
and headed west to Freeman, Mo., where his Aunt
Becky Maloney lived. The
story goes that he and his
horse swam across the Mississippi River on their way to
Cass County. He purchased

6. Lee Flanary married
Virginia Jane Poindexter.
7. Edna Flanary married
Winfred Russell Cantrell.
Representatives from the
families of all 7 children
were present at a reunion
held on June 3. The gathering met at the Fellowship
Hall of the First Baptist
Church in Archie, Mo.,
where 51 people came to
honor the memory of Paris
and Bertha Flanary and
their children. Aaron Cantrell spoke about his grandmother, Edna Cantrell.
Donald Osborn presented
memories of his mother, Elsie Osborn. Arlene Hill and
Joyce Champlin relayed interesting information about
their mother, Vena Shipley,
and Mildred Flanary and
her brother, Thurman, reminisced about their father,
Lee.

2012 hay
directories
off the press
Jefferson City • Whether you are looking to purchase
hay as a result of the recent dry conditions or want to sell
hay, Missouri’s Hay Directory just might be a good option
for you. The directory connects buyers and sellers in Missouri and surrounding states through an online database
that includes information about the hay available and its
location. The Directory’s easy-to-use search will allow
users to choose counties in Missouri, hay and bale types,
search through a list of hay locating services and contact
sellers directly.
“We are dedicated to connecting Missouri farmers with
the resources they need to move forward during this challenging period of dry weather,” said Director of Agriculture Dr. Jon Hagler. “We continue to work with producers
in every corner of our state to ensure that the Missouri
Hay Directory remains an active forum for those buying
and selling hay in our state, whether it’s Certified Weed
Free, high-protein alfalfa, organic or any of the many other varieties used by our producers.”

The Directory currently includes more than 80 listings

as many as 5,000 bales.
The Department’s website also includes links to other

Missouri AgEBB Hay Market Listings, the Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Oklahoma and
USDA directories and the Dyersville, Fort Atkinson and
Rock Valley auctions.

AquaBears fall short
to Paola Piranhas
By Cindy Wainscott
The Butler AquaBears
hosted their second swim
meet of 2012 on Saturday
to the Paola Piranhas. The
AquaBears swam very well
in their events, but fell short
of winning their first home
meet.
The AquaBear relay teams
were able to come away with
only three blue ribbons and
six red ribbons. This hurt the
AquaBears since only blue
ribbons count towards team
points. The blue ribbon relay
teams were girl’s 9-10 medley
relay: Kylee Eidson, Makenna Stephens, Jessi Baker,
Morgan VanGordon; girl’s
13-14 medley relay: Keegan
Lawrence, Brittany Laughlin,
Peyton McGuire, Kenna Schrock; and girl’s 11-12 freestyle
relay: Tarin Schrock, E. VanGordon, Kayla Wainscott,
Jayde Eidson.
Jayde Eidson and Jacob
Shipley came to swim big for
their 11-12 divisions. Jayde
took home two individual
1st place wins in the butterfly
and individual medley. She
also helped her relay team to
place 1st in the freestyle relay giving her a total of three
blue ribbons. Jayde also took
home 3rd place for the freestyle. Jacob took home two
individual 1st place wins in
the freestyle and breaststroke.
He also took home 3rd place
for the backstroke.
Other blue ribbons not
previously mentioned were
won by Morgan VanGordon
for 9-10 girl’s butterfly, Jagur
Eidson for 8 and under boy’s
breaststroke, Kayla Wainscott
for girl’s 11-12 breaststroke,
Peyton McGuire for girl’s 1314 breaststroke, Henry Oates
for boy’s 8 and under backstroke, Emma VanGordon
girl’s 11-12 backstroke, Brittany Laughlin for girl’s 13-14
individual medley and Jesse
Donovan for boy’s 15-20 individual medley.
The AquaBears proudly
took second in individual
medleys swum by Paula Schrock for 8 and under girls,
Morgan VanGordon for 9-10
girls and Peyton McGuire for
13-14 girls.
The AquaBears will host
the Woodson Sharks this Saturday, June 23rd at home.

Crayfish regulation
discussions continue
Jefferson City • The Department of Conservation continues to gather information to make an informed scientific decision on invasive crayfish. The Department has
listened and consulted with bait producers and dealers on
invasive crayfish. Education efforts have worked to inform
anglers and bait sellers about how to prevent invasive crayfish from damaging the state’s sport-fishing industry.
A proposed course of action would prohibit the importation, purchase or sale of live crayfish, commonly called
crawdads, for use as fish bait. It would not prevent anglers
from catching crayfish and using them as bait. This action
is intended to prevent damage to stream and lake ecology,
species losses and protect recreational and economic values associated with fishing. More than 1.1 million Missourians enjoy sport fishing, which generates more than $2
billion in economic activity in the state annually.
Surveys conducted in 2010 and 2011 showed crayfish
sales were minor for most Missouri bait shops, pet shops
and aquaculture operations, typically representing only
about 1 percent of their income. Nevertheless, Deputy Director Tom Draper, who chairs MDC’s Regulations Committee, says the decision to consider banning commercial
crayfish sales was not taken lightly.
“The Conservation Department is responsible to the
citizens of Missouri for protecting fish and wildlife and
the economic and recreational benefits that go with them,”
says Draper. “Other states already are seeing declines in
the quality of fishing because of invasive crayfish. We
don’t want to get 20 or 30 years down the road and wish
we had done something to protect our fishing when we
had the chance. Knowing what we do, it would be irresponsible not to take some type of action to protect Missouri’s aquatic resources.”
MDC Resource Scientist Bob DiStefano says crayfish
are unlike many invasive species, because they don’t have
to be far from their native areas to cause trouble. A crayfish
species whose population is in balance with other species
in its native waters can cause ecological problems when
introduced to a neighboring watershed.
“Many crayfish species can become invasive if moved
into the wrong setting,” says DiStefano. Imported crayfish
also can carry diseases with the potential of decimating
native crayfish populations. Crayfish are a staple food for
black bass, sunfish and many other sport fish.
What MDC knows about invasive crayfish comes from
dozens of studies in Missouri and other states. DiStefano
says those studies show that the danger posed by commercial trade in crayfish is real and serious.
For example, spot checks conducted by MDC before
passage of the crayfish sales ban showed that more than
one-quarter of bait shops were selling crayfish species that
already were illegal under previous regulations. In most
cases, these were not willful violations. Bait shop owners
simply did not know the difference between crayfish species including the invasive species. Even if dealers could
tell the difference, they could not be expected to detect a
few individuals of an invasive species mixed in with a shipment of thousands of less-destructive crayfish.
MDC inspections also found that many bait shops were
selling crayfish obtained from outside of Missouri and that
some shops were illegally selling crayfish collected from
the wild.
Invasive crayfish already are impacting Missouri waters.
DiStefano said field studies have documented 25 instances of
crayfish invasions in Missouri. Those invasions have caused
declines of six native species.
DiStefano says invasive crayfish have been shown to outcompete native crayfish, compete with game fish for food, destroy aquatic plant beds used as spawning grounds and nurseries for game fish, and are known to also eat fish eggs. This
combined with reduced spawning habitat and food means
fewer and smaller fish. A study of lakes in Vilas County,
Wisc., documented resource damage from invasions of rusty
crayfish of more than $1 million annually.
Draper noted that Missouri anglers would still be allowed
to catch crayfish and use them for bait if the Department
implemented a regulation. A ban would only prohibit commercial trade in live crayfish bait. Bait shops would still be
permitted to sell dead or preserved crayfish for bait. He says
delaying implementation of a ban would give MDC time to
inform anglers about the risks associated with moving crayfish from one place to another.
“The Department needs anglers’ help to protect Missouri’s
lake and stream fishing,” says Draper. “It is critical for anglers
to know the danger posed by moving crayfish and other bait
from one place to another. How well we do our job of educating the public will make a huge difference for the future of
fishing in Missouri.”

A Pastor’s Perspective
Dr. Terry J. Davis, Pastor
First Baptist Church, Butler
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
How about some good news?
Our church family stands on the Bible. The central
message of the Bible is the “Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
The word “Gospel” means “Good News.” The question in understanding and appreciating this word is
“What is the highest good in the Good News?” Is it
justification by faith? Is it forgiveness of sins? Is it the
removal of the wrath of God? Is it redemption from
guilt and liberation from slavery to sin? Is it salvation from hell? Is it entrance into heaven? Is it eternal
life? All of these are precious promises bought by the
blood of Christ for everyone who believes in Him. But
they are not the greatest good for the Gospel. In fact,
I would say that unless they lead to something else,
these are not good news at all.
It is possible to believe in all these things, and to
want them and expect them, and still never have tasted what makes all the good things in the Good News
good. So what is that? What it the highest good that
makes every part of the Gospel Good News? The answer is given in 2 Corinthians 4: 4 & 6. And the parallels between these two verses show the depth and the
wonder of each of them means.
“Whose minds (those who are perishing) the god of
this world (that’s Satan) has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,
Who is the image of God, should shine on them”...
“For it is God who commanded light to shine out of
darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ.”
In verse 4 underline the words the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God.”
And in verse 6 underline the parallel words “the light
of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Jesus Christ.”
Here is one of the most important statements about
the Gospel in the Bible. We know from 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 that the foundational events of the gospel
are “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried and that He rose again
the third day according to the Scriptures.” Yes. That is
gloriously true. Without this there is no Gospel at all.
But what must we see in those events if they are to be
Gospel for us? 2 Corinthians 4:4 & 6 tell us: We must
see “the glory of Christ who is the image of God” and
“the glory of God in the face of Christ.”
What? Because that is what the Gospel is. The
Gospel is not just historical events—Christ died, was
buried, and rose from the dead. The Gospel is Good
News. And we do not see the decisive good in the
Good News If we do not see in the events the glory of
Christ who is the image of God.
Notice carefully the use of the word gospel in verse
4: It is the “gospel of the glory of Christ who is he image of God.” This is the Gospel—The glory of Christ
(the self-manifestation of God so that we see Who He
essentially is and what He does as it is revealed in the
person of Christ)—The glory of Christ seen and savored in the work of redemption is the Good News.
This is the highest good that makes all the other
good things promised in the Gospel good. Justification
is good news because it makes me stand accepted by
the One whose glory we want to see and savor above
all things. Forgiveness is good news because it cancels
all the sins that keep me from seeing and enjoying the
glory of Christ who is the image of God. Removal of
wrath and salvation from hell are good news because
now in my escape from eternal misery I find eternal pleasure beholding the glory of God in the face
of Christ. Eternal life is good news because “this is
eternal life.” Jesus said, “That they know Me and Him
who sent Me.” I enjoy all these wonderful things and
am no longer distracted from the fullest enjoyment of
the glory of Christ who is the image of God. This is a
real glory, a real spiritual light that shines through the
Gospel from Christ in His saving work and is seen not
with the physical eyes, but with the eyes of the heart
(Ephesians 1:17ff) or of the spiritual mind (2 Corinthians 4:4).
I pray that this continues to be the unified, common
understanding of the gospel in our church family—
that we will be at home with this reality. I pray that for
all our churches. May God grant us to understand, to
appreciate, and to embrace the highest of the Gospel—
“the glory of God in the face of Christ.”

n EDITORIAL
They simply
can’t go it alone
R
ed flags of distress are being hoisted by the
hierarchy of the Butler Chamber of Commerce. What these “banners” represent poses the
question: MEMBERS, WHERE ARE YOU?
Support within the membership is pathetic, virtually non-existent and it is especially alarming
with important community-oriented events listed
on the calendar—such as the championship barbecue slated for October that will require—yes,
demand—a wholesale call-out of volunteers.
Barbecues sound good, smell good and taste
good, but there’s more to it than can be imagined
in behind-the-scene work, non-stop efforts over a
busy weekend.
One of the board members who has hands-on
experience in past barbecues, says, “We are struggling...Chamber projects take a lot of time from
board members and we just can’t keep the pace
we are going with just board members.” He says
he feels that the board members are meant to be
an “advisory” panel but in reality “it has become
a second non-paying job.”
To one extreme, the barbecue might have to be
cancelled unless volunteers come to the surface;
as to the ongoing projects...if no one cares to get
involved it might be time to consider disbanding
the Butler Chamber of Commerce.
Thanks, Saddle Club
What a grand weekend it was in Butler, thanks
to the Butler Saddle Club which presented the
annual rodeo. Crowds were tremendous, especially Saturday evening’s throng, all of whom
were treated to a fun and exciting rodeo.
Question
A reader asked the question, “Why does the
town of Butler have a hay field in the middle of
the town? Do they not care how it looks to visitors...when people visit assisted living or the Butler Estates apartments what must they think?”
‘All in’ for wind
By Paul Mansoor
Center for Rural Affairs
People want wind energy, but don’t want to pay a
lot for it. According to a new study, they may be able
to have their cake—and eat it too.
Wind energy is attractive for economic reasons. A
robust wind industry could bring hundreds of thousands of jobs and tens of billions of dollars per year
into the economy, much of it in rural America. But
fear of higher prices has kept the wind development
grounded.
Although wind produces some of the cleanest energy, nobody wants higher electric rates. Wind towers
are expensive. And in some remote areas, developing
new wind farms can require transmission improvements, which are necessary to send the electricity
from producers to consumers. Power companies usually pass these costs onto ratepayers. This creates a
bottleneck, stalling wind projects and keeping clean
energy from getting off the ground.
However, introducing greater levels of wind together with smart system planning can decrease the
annual market price relative to today. This means
consumers would pay less for wind energy.
The key is to go “all in.” The savings accrue when
healthy wind development is combined with transmission upgrades. Installing just a few turbines at a
time will cost more, on average, than multiple developments.
The case for wind energy keeps getting stronger.
Job creation, clean energy and lower electric bills?
Change is coming—you can feel it in the breeze.
F
ather’s Day came and went
as most Sundays do around
our place.
Sort of quiet, lazy, mostly uneventful, except that is, for cheery
phone calls from the kids which
was enough to make any dad
proud no matter the occasion.
Oh yes, there was feasting
around noon, and ahhhh, a relaxing little nap afterwards. Sound
familiar? What more could a guy
want for Father’s Day?
A necktie?
No thanks!!
THE DAD’S DAY cravat has
faded from tradition. Men simply don’t wear neckties anymore.
They’re passé...relics...uncomfortable...excess baggage and a little
hokey in the present glitz of sartorial splendor. Why I don’t clean
them out is beyond me. Perhaps
it has something to do with sentiment, like the tie I remember wearing to my eighth grade graduation.

I used to wear a necktie to work
now and then, but just as sure as I
did I’d be asked if I was going to
be a pallbearer, or “what’s the deal
with the tie, did you lose a bet?”
I HAVE ENOUGH ties stuffed
in two closets to outfit Cox’s Army.
If they were stretched end-to-end I
suspect they’d blaze a trail to Trading Post, Kansas, if not Topeka.
Colors, bizarre designs and
fabrics are indescribable. Stripes,
polka dots, plain janes and illustrations that range from motorcycles
to gargoyles. I even have one on
which is printed a Christmas scene.
When you squeezed a button it

played Jingle Bells—until the battery played out.
A few in the blend when ties
were extra wide could also be worn
as bibs. Some are right down frightful. If they were hung out on a wire
we’d never be in fear of predators
in our yard.
Yet I can’t part with my tie
collection, it just wouldn’t seem
right. I have given away three or
four as special gifts, but finally quit
because I felt my token was not
appreciated.
SO, WHAT TO DO? Sewing
a bunch of them together might
make a dandy quilt or a skirt? Donate them to the museum? Or set
them out on the front curb with a
free sign attached.
I probably should go through
the lot of them and pick out my all
time favorite tie as part of my “laying away” wardrobe.

Pilot image has come a long way
I
n this day and age, you have
to have an outfit to be a pilot.
Time was, you could tell a pilot
by his big-billed baseball cap and
maybe a pair of Ray-Bans. Today,
one has to have the $400 Chinese
leather flight jacket, $200 designer
shades, an eight-ounce wrist watch,
$500-worth of headsets and a big
flight bag. And did I mention the
iPad with all subscription services?
At least that’s the image all the hot
magazines project; “I see by your
outfit that are a pi-lot…” In my
case, I get by with basic gear and
look like the guy handling the refueling hose. So much for my image.
The visitor list for the week
was led by Jim Gordon, stopping
through on Friday evening with
a nice Piper Seneca, en route to
Ohio. A Forney Aircoupe, a Cessna Skywagon, a Bellanca Citabria
and Beech Bonanza V35 were also
in. Locally, Tim Hill was out in his
Cessna Skylane, Bob Griffey flew
to Nebraska in a Cessna Skyhawk,
Jay McClintock got current in a
Cessna 150, Glenn Adams took the
Skyhawk out and Will Cook flew
the Aeronca Champ and a Cessna
172.
In the flight training
business, the written (now “knowledge”) examination is a major
stumbling block, perhaps more
so than in the recent past. Now
Blue

a $150 gamble with a computergenerated list of questions written by government bureaucrats,
the written has become a test of
memorizing arcane bits of information unrelated to real flying.
The questions are required to be
rewritten every so often, and after
so many times the logic gets pretty
convoluted. So, you first have to
figure out what’s being asked, then
dredge your knowledge for applicable facts and formula, avoiding the
two wrong multiple-choice answers
for the one that fits.
All of which makes student pilot
Todd Proch’s achievement last
Thursday more significant. Todd
took his knowledge test at the Aviation Training center on 435, where
the airplanes are parked beside
the highway, and scored a perfect
100. The last student we had do
this was Kenette Powell. Only
70% is needed to pass the exam,
but 100 sure looks better when the
Examiner sits down to administer
the flight test. No, I didn’t school
Todd for the test; he studied on his
own, using Sporty’s Study Buddy
iPhone app.
Beware, attendees
of the Fliars Club. This coming
Sunday morning, June 24, is the
monthly meeting time for the air
heads and truth seekers. June
being a 30-day month, we run
out of days on Saturday, June 30,
thus this is the last Sunday of the
month. Be on the Butler airport
ramp at 0700 hours and good fellowship will prevail.
Our question of the week wanted to know when knots, or nautical
miles, became the accepted measurement in the aviation world.
Commercial aviation was forced
into the Navy’s distance/speed
standard in the early 1950s; miles
per hour was used by some airlines
up to then. General aviation kept
mph (it looks more impressive)
until the mid-1970s. Why the
switch? No good reason; it’s like
the push for metrics; one guy gets
the religion and wants to force it on
others. Use miles-per-hour if you
want, it works just as well.
Next time, tell me where you
can download an FAA form
8050-1, the application for aircraft
registration.
As the World Turns
“T
herefore I tell you, do
not worry about your
life, what you will eat
or drink; or about your body, what
you will wear. Is not life more
important than food, and the body
more important than clothes? Look
at the birds of the air; they do not
sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds
them. Are you not much more
valuable than they? Who of you by
worrying can add a single hour to
his life?” (Matthew 6:25-27)
I know this. I believe this. But
then I look at creation and I worry
for the birds of the air. In the midst
of a storm, how in the world
does a chickadee cling to bending
branches with thread thin claws
and miniscule talons? How come
the killdeer is not extinct since she
lays her eggs in the road where gigantic, racing tires can crush them?
And why would a wild turkey
place her nest so easily accessible
to passing coyotes? I wonder, and
worry I suppose, how does creation
continue in a world full of violent
storms, man-made hazards and
natural enemies. Then, I have to
admit, maybe I don’t give enough
credit to One who orders this world
and supervises it.
“Generations come and
generations go, but the earth
remains forever. The sun rises and
the sun sets, and hurries back to
where it rises. The wind blows to
the south and turns to the north;
round and round it goes, ever
returning on its course. All streams
flow into the sea, yet the sea is
never full. To the place the streams
come from, there they return again.

than one can say. The eye never

has enough of seeing, or the ear its
fill of hearing. What has been will
be again, what has been done will
be done again; there is nothing new
under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 1:4-9)
God is in control!
Whew! That’s a huge relief...if I
truly believe. And that, my friends,
is a daily struggle – to turn it over
to Him. To trust He will do what
is best. To surrender my anxieties
to the One who calms the sea and
feeds the hungry. I have a tendency
to worry much. I fret for myself
and for others. I lose sleep thinking
about things far beyond my control. It is folly and foolishness. It is
faithlessness and futility.
So today when I stumbled upon
something I’ve never before seen,
I found myself instantly exhilarated and just as suddenly anxious.
She flew up right before my eyes
and departed, but left me looking
downward as I gazed on a wild
turkey nest brimming with prospects. I’ve never lost my child-like
wonder for all creatures great and
small. There I stood amazed and
tickled to see the pale cream and
brown speckled evidence of a good
spring. I counted the clutch without touch to a total of ten.
Then with dismay, I spied
one, two and a third crushed shell
carried near and far from the safety
of her lair. The contents licked

clean, no doubt had satisfied some
scavenger. Immediately, I started
to worry – over something of
which I have absolutely no control.
God made the turkey, she made
the nest, those are her eggs and
responsibility. He also made the
critter those turkey eggs fed. Life is
not so much a mystery novel as it
is a book of facts. I walked away,
but not unscathed. For it made me
think just how much we assume
life is safe. It is not!
Solomon spelled it out in the
third chapter of Ecclesiastes. “I
also thought, ‘As for men, God
tests them so that they may see that
they are like the animals. Man’s
fate is like that of the animals;
the same fate awaits them both:
As one dies, so dies the other. All
have the same breath; man has no
advantage over the animal.’” (Ecc.
3:18-19a)
Though Solomon concludes that “Everything is meaningless,” I contend that it gives
even greater meaning to life. Life
is precious and short and uncertain. It is priceless. Life is beautiful
and dangerous and exciting. It is
limited. There are no guarantees,
only opportunities.
Are you a brave little chickadee,
weathering storms in life? Are
you a killdeer living on the edge
and taking unnecessary chances?
Are you a turkey who’s just doing your best to protect your nest
and sometimes losing the battle?
Whatever feather you wear at the
moment, I pray you are filled with
more faith than fear to endure it.
And I pray that you know the Lord
Jesus Christ as your Savior. That’s
our only safety.

Butler Alumni 125th anniversary celebration.
Officers Beshore and Wheatley went over and beyond their daily duties and helped the alumni committee, particularly during the 5K run and the alumni parade. These two gentlemen performed the duties
of seemingly five or six officers directing traffic for
both the run and the parade. They worked diligently
moving from street to street to ensure the safety of all
who were involved in the day’s activities. I can only
be sure that during this time they were still responsible for answering calls for the citizens of Butler who
were not involved in the alumni celebration.
It should be noted that I am as equally impressed by
Police to be commended
To members of the Butler City Council:
I wish to inform you of the excellence of two of
the police officers on your staff. Lt. Randy Beshore
and Sgt. Jerret Wheatley were on duty the morning
of May 26, 2012. As you know there were several activities taking place that day in conjunction with the
the willingness and professionalism of their “will do
attitude,” as I am with the amount of service these officers performed for our community. Lt. Beshore and
Sgt. Wheatley should be recognized and commended
for the work they did on Saturday, May 26. They are
truly dedicated to their call, “To Protect and Serve.”
I offer my sincere gratitude and my appreciation
to these two fine officers and I hope that the council recognizes the work that they performed and the
great name they give to our community.
Sincerely,
Jason Lawrence,
President of the BHS Alumni Board
