It seems nearly impossible to fathom that someone as brilliant and funny as Robin Williams could be so tortured emotionally that he takes himself out of the human race. Yet, last week, one by one, each of us across the whole globe, fixed our attention on the sad news of this beloved actor’s suicide. Sometimes, a blip of news in the vast sea of information we are bombarded with daily, seems to slap us so hard in the face that we can almost hear the collective groan rippling through space and time. Then we all try our best to reckon with reality. And what a devastating reality Robin Williams’ death reveals - that someone who, by his very nature, brought

Chris Michel says not only can he do the job as County Collector for Butler County, he already is. “After Brenda Fox died, the Office of Commissions in Jefferson City contacted me within the week, and asked if I would take this position. I agreed, and I hit the ground running,” said Michel. That was September 18, and since then Michel said he knows he has already done much to improve the office, and he would like the opportunity to continue bringing a technological and professional edge to the office. “I’m really not a politician,” he explained. “I’ve got 30 years of business experience.” He started back in 1982, operating one of the first One-Hour Photo Labs in the country. His experience with computers goes even
POPLAR BLUFF – When long-time Butler County Collector Brenda Fox died in August, she left not only many mourning friends and family but also a vacant county post. In November, Butler County voters will have the opportunity to elect a new county collector. Three names are currently in contention for the post: Chris Michel, Emily Parks, and Tammy Marler. CHRIS MICHEL - DEMOCRAT Michel believes he can bring “exceptional service” to the post through both customer service and teamwork at the Butler County Courthouse. “Eight years ago, I lost my wife to cancer and at that point I really needed to concentrate on being both a mom and a dad to my sons,” said Michel. But now the boys are

Trucks At Bricks POPLAR BLUFF -If you live in the vicinity of Brick’s Offroad Park in Butler County, that isn’t a series of earthquakes you are feeling tonight. It’s the big trucks arriving for Brick’s $10,000 Mud Truck Challenge. By 7 p.m. this evening, at least a half a dozen big trucks and their drivers had shown up at Brick’s, sizing up the competition for that $10,000 prize that goes to the driver that makes it through Brick’s infamous Slough, the slough that until last year no driver had ever made it through. Dustin McCutcheon changed that last year, when he made it through, claimingthe prize, and now returning this year to try to do it again. Who wins the
POPLAR BLUFF - Almost $20,000 was raised Friday night at Poplar Bluff’s Relay For Life hosted at the Black River Coliseum. Shanna Gilberto, Relay for Life Specialist, said about 54 Butler County cancer survivors participated in this year’s event, with many attending the annual Cancer Survivor’s Dinner the evening before. Ten teams raised money throughout the year, and several area businesses also made donations to the effort. “The unique thing about this event is that 100 percent of the proceeds actually goes to the American Cancer Society in funding its mission to eliminate cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing the suffering that comes from cancer. The money goes to research, education, advocacy, and service,”
