X-rays in the office on hold for now

Notes from the Bates County Memorial Hospital board meeting last night

It appears that the question of Dr. Curtis Long's clinic being able to do his own x-rays, will continue. A number of visitors were on hand at the Bates County Hospital Board's monthly meeting, hoping that will be the case.

Jim Shade, president of the hospital board, said, barring legal problems from the Feds, all will stay as it is. Actually, the problem lies with questions dealing with technical works like changing analog to digital, that the average person doesn't comprehend. Shade said they would know for sure by the next board meeting in a couple of weeks.

Extra chairs had to be set up for those who had signed up to speak in behalf of Dr. Curtis Long's practice of handling the x-rays at his clinic at 2000 West Chestnut Street here in Butler.

Dr. Long has been practicing in Butler for almost 50 years...since 1964, and of course has long been affiliated with the hospital, sending persons to the hospital as patients when they required hospital services.

The hospital board had requested that he have patients who need x-rays done, to make a second appointment, and have the x-ray work done at the hospital.

Those who had signed up to speak to the board Tuesday night, were all in friendly agreement that the second appointment and the waiting extra time to know the results, would make a hardship, and result in extra time before those results would be passed along to the client. It would be especially difficult, for the elderly, and especially for the handicapped. One person was there, helping another who was in a motorized wheelchair, and it was pointed out that with the seat belts and other necessities in getting him even to the clinic is quite a chore, to say nothing of having to make a second trip to the hospital. And to say nothing of Missouri weather, which can be bad, almost at a moment's notice.

The hospital board consists of its president, Jim Shade, as well as Patti Bruto, Rusty Hamilton, Jerry Jones, and Harold Caskey.

Operation Spring Weed Killer results in arrests and confiscation of drugs and paraphernalia

The Bates County Sheriff’s Office and the CNET Drug Task force has wrapped up a drug investigation that lasted approximately two months and spanned multiple counties. The investigation started in late December with multiple purchases of drugs from multiple locations.

The Operation kicked off on February 15th with a search warrant at 406 East Cedar Street in Rich Hill. The house was occupied by one adult female and one juvenile female. The adult female was taken into custody at the time of the search warrant. The male who was a target of the investigation was not at home at the time. He later returned to the residence and was taken into custody. Charges are pending on the male subject. During the search of the residence, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were recovered. The female was later released to care for the juvenile. Charges on the female are being reviewed at this time.

At the same time, members of the Sheriff’s Office began to search for a second subject of its investigation and a short time later located the subject at 419 East Elm Street in Rich Hill. John W Danner and another female was located at the residence in the front yard and taken into custody. A search of the subjects revealed a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Danner was charged with Distribution of a controlled substance and bond was set at $25,000.00 cash or surety. Charges are being reviewed on the female.

The investigation continued on Feb. 17th with members of the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, Bates County Sheriff’s Office and the CNET Drug Task Force executing a search warrant in Nevada, Missouri. The subject of the investigation was not at home at the time. Charges of Distribution of a controlled substance are being sought in connection with the search warrant.

A third search warrant was executed during the operation in another jurisdiction. Details of that search warrant are unavailable at this time due to the ongoing investigation.

During Operation Spring Weed Killer approximately 9 pounds of Marijuana, 59 Alprazolam Pills, 29 Lorazepam Pills, 89 Hydrocodone Pills, and $2000 in cash were recovered.

Charges are expected to be filed on several more subjects in connection with Operation Spring Weed Killer.

Sheriff Anderson says “We will continue to work with the community to aggressively pursue those connected to the sales or usage of illegal drugs.”

Computers 4 U under new ownership

Dale Bishop, former owner of Computers 4 U in Adrian has announced that he is getting out of the computer business to pursue other interests- however the new owner will bring the same professional, local service we've come to appreciate. 

Jason Rugg has purchased Computers 4 U and comes to the table with a lot of know how and promises to make the transition as seamless as possible. Rugg, a 2004 graduate of Adrian High School has about 8 years of experience working on computers, plus 7 years working as an engineer in Overland Park, KS. Add to that, he has worked as a technical design engineer for a logistics company in Belton, Mo.

Computers 4 U will relocate just down the road to the basement of Rugg's residence at 920 N. Business 71 Highway in Adrian- a logical move, since Jason has already set up the basement for his business that includes wide format printing of anything up to 42 inches wide by any length (visible in photo below).

To help with the transition, computers may still be dropped off and picked up at the old location for now, as Dale Bishop is working with Jason to make the changeover as smooth as possible.

We spoke candidly with Jason during the Adrian Business Expo last Saturday and learned that he is quite excited about the new venture and keeps quite busy as he also works as the sound technician for the Adrian Christian Church and does work on the church computers as well.

Jot this number down, you're bound to need it at some point- 816.297.4411. You can also find the Computers 4 U Facebook page here www.facebook.com/C4UAdrian. Feel free to send him a message or call to welcome him as the proud new owner of Computers 4 U!

New Outer Road Project to Begin between Butler and Rich Hill

A project to build outer roads on either side of Route 71 between Rich Hill and Butler begins the week of March 5, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

The outer road project is part of the upgrading of U.S. 71 to Interstate 49 between Kansas City and Pineville that has been ongoing for several years. MoDOT is working toward I-49 designation by the end of 2012.

During the week of March 5, contractor crews will begin clearing and grading.

The project involves building outer roads on either side of Route 71.

The west outer road will run between County Road 3778 and the Marais des Cygnes River.

The east outer road will run between County Road 4016 and Route B at Rich Hill.

The prime contractor is Lehman Construction of California, MO, doing the work for a low bid amount of $5.4 million.

Completion is scheduled for early November 2012.

Traffic Impacts

Much of the work will take place away from Route 71 traffic.

Equipment may need to enter and leave work areas.

In mid-March, it will be necessary to CLOSE two county roads north of Route A/B. County Road 4016 on the east side of Route 71 will be CLOSED and County Route 3778 on the west side will be CLOSED. During the closings, drivers will have to find alternate routes. The county roads will be connected to the new outer roads and will be reopened toward the end of the project in late October.

Important local alerts are as close as your mobile phone

New service gives those in Bates County immediate access to vital information


It seems that everyone has a cell phone nowadays and a new program implemented in cooperation with the Bates County Sheriff's Department is designed to get important, even lifesaving information to the public as soon as possible through text messaging.

The service provided by Nixle (www.nixle.com) is not only for emergencies- you can stay up to date with other information affecting our community such as traffic alerts, safety tips, local crime information and more.

Nixle currently works with over 4,600 public safety agencies across the United States and is well known for providing accurate, up to the minute information.

"This is a great way to get the word out" said Sheriff Chad Anderson today at the Adrian Business Expo. "There have been many times when we are working a situation and we need to notify those nearby. Likewise they may have information we need, but they aren't aware of what's going on. This will greatly help bridge the communication gap".

How does it work? Simply text your zip code to 888777 and you will be instantly registered to receive local alert text messages from Nixle. You may also receive alerts by email, mobile application or through your web browser- more information can be found on the Nixle web site at www.nixle.com.

Helping the Kansas City School District

From the desk of Senator David Pearce

Missouri’s students deserve an education that is equal to any across the nation. When a school district loses accreditation, it can have a major impact on those students’ futures. Since accreditation is tied to a district’s teaching processes, losing accreditation means that the district’s quality of teaching and student learning is in question. Among other things, unaccreditation can affect a student’s ability to get into college. No student that wants to continue on to higher education should have his or her future jeopardized.

The Kansas City Public School District lost its accreditation on Jan. 1, 2012, after passing just three of the 14 performance standards required by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). Losing accreditation means that the district has two years to reach the goal of achieving six of 14 standards to be provisionally accredited. However, KCPSD has tried for years to correct their problems and has been unable to improve. In order to provide students with the best education possible, I have introduced legislation to speed up the process.

Senate Bill 677 would remove the two-year waiting period between becoming unaccredited and the automatic dissolution of the district. By doing so, the Missouri State Board of Education can appoint a replacement board for the district in order to jump-start the district’s work back to accreditation. The measure would also allow the state board to set a specific length of time to reach improvement or be recertified as unaccredited, keeping the district under the board’s supervision.

This legislation is not only a positive step for the KCPSD, it also creates the potential to help other districts in similar circumstances. Through many years of changing leadership in the KCPSD, this bill would create continuity in board governance. The goal of SB 677, and the Senate as a whole, is to ensure that all of Missouri’s students have the same opportunity for a quality education.

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.

Senator David Pearce serves Bates, Cass, Johnson and Vernon counties in the 31st State Senatorial District.

New nutrition labels on meat and poultry make decisions easier

From Tammy Roberts, Nutrition and Health Education Specialist, University of Missouri Extension

On March 1, a new rule of USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service takes effect. The rule requires nutrition labeling on major cuts of raw meat and poultry products.

Nutrition lables will be required on most of the cuts of raw meat at the grocery store. The nutrition facts label will list total calories, calories from fat, total grams of fat and grams of saturated fat. The labels will also provide information about protein, sodium, cholesterol and some vitamin and mineral information.



Currently, ground beef lists the percentage of fat present in the beef but that doesn’t tell you how many fat or total calories per serving. For example, you know that 90% lean ground beef has less fat than 80% lean but currently there is no way of knowing exactly what that means from a nutritional standpoint.

“The labels will make it easier to make decisions about what types of meat and poultry to purchase” said Tammy Roberts, nutriton and health education specialist with University of Missouri Extension.

The new label will tell you how many calories you are getting from a 4-ounce serving of the product. For example, one serving of 90% lean ground beef contains 200 calories, 11 grams of total fat, 4.5 grams of saturated fat and 22 grams of protein. The 80% lean hamburger provides 280 calories, 22 grams of total fat, 9 grams of saturated fat and 19 grams of protein. “When you have this type of information it makes it easier to understand why there is a price difference and it makes it much easier to make a decision based on nutritional value” said Roberts.

The average American should consume around 2,000 calories per day. Roughly 55-60% of the calories should come from carbohydrates, 30% from fat and 10-15% from protein. This comes out to 67 grams of total fat and no more than 16 of those grams of fat should be saturated. Protein should be around 50-75 grams per day.

“The new labels on meat arm the consumer with one more tool to make the best decisions for their health. I look forward to using them myself and I think there are many people, especially those with certain health conditions, that will greatly benefit” said Roberts

Butler men escape injury in Iowa trailer fire

Two Butler men escaped injury this morning in a tractor trailer fire
that happened in Cass County Iowa
KJAN Radio of Atlanta, Iowa released information of a mechanical malfunction in Iowa this morning. 2 Butler men escaped injury when their tractor trailer owned by Paxton Trucking of Butler caught fire. Eric Hansen and Neal Greenwood both of Butler where involved in the following story released and written by KJAN Radio Station in Iowa:

A mechanical malfunction of some sort was to blame for a semi trailer fire early this (Thursday) morning on Interstate 80, in Cass County. Firefighters from Atlantic and Marne were called to the scene located on I-80 westbound at the 52 mile-marker, at about 5:49-a.m. Atlantic Firefighter Gene Schmelling told KJAN News a tire burned out on the trailer of the semi which was hauling lime. The flames spread to the rest of the trailer, causing a substantial amount of damage to the rear. The semi’s driver managed to separate the tractor from the trailer, and prevent further damage. Firefighters were on the scene for about an hour. No injuries were reported. The DOT reported the right lane of I-80 westbound was blocked for a little more than four-hours this morning, while crews worked to remove the damaged trailer and clean-up the mess. Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon says the wreck was finally cleared by around 11:45-a.m.

Firefighter Gene Schmelling said it’s not clear how the fire began, but it was most likely caused by a blow-out, bad brakes or worn bearings.

Free movie this Saturday night in Butler...

Do you have the courage to commit?

The Immanuel Baptist Church in Butler will host a free movie night this Saturday night at 7:10. The latest movie “ Courageous” will hit the big screen . The movie depicts the lives of four men with one calling : to serve and protect. As law enforcement officers. They are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: which is "fatherhood”. The movie is a moving example of how we get caught up in day to day living and place our children last on our priority list. Each man makes a commitment and vow to set an example for their children. 

Every parent should see this film, whether it is in the comfort of your own home or seeing the movie free at the Immanuel Baptist Church located at 801 West Fort Scott Street in Butler.
