Bates County Memorial Hospital Honors Auxiliary Volunteers
In recognition of National Healthcare Volunteer Week, Bates
County Memorial Hospital (BCMH) celebrated Auxiliary volunteers and recognized
their efforts with a banquet on Thursday, April 25.
Volunteers contribute a great deal to our hospital, its
patients and employees. Their accomplishments include:
·
Donating the equivalent of four full-time
employees’ hours of work in 2023
·
Raising funds to help purchase needed equipment
for the hospital
·
Sponsoring activities to show appreciation to
BCMH healthcare workers
·
Coordinating the annual Operation Sock-it-to-Me
Service Project for school children in Bates County
At the banquet, a program organized by the Human Resources
department focused on making volunteers feel loved and appreciated. Members
enjoyed a delicious meal and special music performed by Chaplain Mike Humphrey
and Gordon Sixkiller. Pat Friederich, who retired on April 1, was recognized
for 30 years of Auxiliary service. CEO Greg Weaver presented a set of outdoor
chimes to Pat to commemorate her volunteer work at BCMH. Volunteers were
recognized for hours of service with a pin, and each took home a hanging flower
basket as a thank you gift from the hospital, and several hospital departments
contributed door prizes.
The awards ceremony included the announcement of the 2023
volunteer of the year, Bob Thomas. Bob has been a dedicated volunteer since
2016. His faithful service at the information desk every week is appreciated by
his co-volunteers, hospital employees, patients and visitors.
Like Bob, volunteers perform many tasks that benefit the
hospital. They are the first to greet patients and assist them with the
registration process. Some volunteers help with accompanying patients to their appointment
destination. Others help run the gift shop, performing various duties including
shopping, stocking, planning, and assisting customers. Their help is
invaluable, and Bates County Memorial Hospital thanks Auxiliary volunteers for
their service.
If you would like to learn more about volunteering at BCMH, you
can schedule a “ride-along". Learn more at the BCMH information desk or
gift shop, or visit https://www.bcmhospital.com/auxiliary-volunteers/

On Friday, April 26th, the Cass County Sheriff's Office led Operation Guardian. During this operation, Local, State and Federal Law Enforcement set out to check on 31 registered sex offenders residing in Cass County who are under the supervision of Missouri Probation & Parole or U.S. Federal Probation. Operation Guardian resulted in two arrests, one pending new felony charge, one misdemeanor warrant arrest, multiple state probation violations and one federal violation. One of these apprehensions was the felony arrest of 49-year-old Robert Depue of Garden City, Mo. for 10 counts of Child Pornography. Depue sits in the Cass County Jail on a no bond warrant. “Through the diligent efforts of our dedicated law enforcement teams, we have successfully apprehended individuals who posed a serious threat to the well-being of our citizens. I commend the collaboration exhibited by the numerous agencies in bringing these subjects to justice. Our community can rest assured that we will continue to prioritize the protection of our residents and the swift apprehension of those who seek to harm them," Sheriff Jeff Weber. Missouri Probation and Parole, Missouri Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, the United States Secret Service - Kansas City Cyber Fraud Task Force, Cass County Prosecutor’s Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol Sex Offender Unit, U.S. Marshals and Missouri State Technical Assistance K9 Team made this operation a success. The operation checked offenders in Archie, Belton, Drexel, Freeman, Garden City, Harrisonville, Peculiar, Pleasant Hill and Raymore. If you have any information about a non-compliant sex offender please call the Cass County Sheriff's Office at (816) 380-5200.

Pilots have to be especially careful in this modern age of cell
phone cameras, surveillance broadcasts and instantaneous communication. Last
Thursday, the pilot flying a Lufthansa Airlines Boeing 747 landing at Los
Angeles, after an over-the-Pole flight from Frankfurt, Deutschland, made a
horrible touchdown, porpoising severely before going around for another try,
recorded by some plane-spotter for all the world to see. The tough old Jumbo
Jet took it in stride.
We hid our sloppy landings here last week, but they were only a few
unobserved Cessna 150 forays. Other traffic seen was a Cirrus and a Piper
Archer shooting landings, plus a Cherokee and a Skyhawk. Locally, the Air Tractor
agplane made a few swaths, Les Gorden fired up his re-engined T-28 trainer, Jim
Ferguson helped ferry the flying club’s Skyhawk to the shop by retrieving us with
his Cessna 182 and Randy Miller and Nate Schrock flew Cessna 150s. CFI Jay
McClinstock gave instruction in his Piper Tomahawk.
The weekend’s wild weather kept most airplanes safely tucked away
in their hangars. Winds were clocked at up to 40 knots, and the one trip we
made on Saturday provided continuous bouncing. No Fliars showed up for
the monthly breakfast flyout, due to the looming inclement weather
We can report that Captain Les Gorden has traded off his Piper
Twin Comanche for a nice 1977 Cessna 310R with turbocharged engines. Fuel burn
is about doubled, but it delivers much more speed and climbing ability.
There appears to be a not-invented-here obstruction in the drive
to develop a lead-free 100-octane aviation gasoline. Such a formulation is
going to be costly to create and produce, just to solve a problem that
doubtfully exists. General Aviation Modifications Inc. holds approval for its G100
unleaded avgas, and reportedly has a million gallons ready to sell, but FBOs
are reluctant to stock it because it was developed privately, not in a
government program, under Supplemental Type approval. California, ever the land
of the fruits and nuts, has passed a law mandating no-lead fuel to be sold at
all the state’s airports as soon as it’s “commercially available.” Defining
that clause is the issue; GAMI says G100 is, but California airport operators
say it isn’t, preferring to stay with less-expensive proven low-lead 100
instead of the new GAMI-juice. Environmentalists won’t ever give up, of course,
reason and logic notwithstanding.
The weekly quiz was solved by avid reader Stephanie Poe,,who knew
that our question about the “fingers” term for a radio frequency meant 123.45
megacycles. Although it’s not allocated for routine plane-to-plane chit-chat,
but is reserved for remote area operations, it often is dialed up by pilots
just wanting to talk to each other, regardless of FCC rules. We’re supposed to
use 122.75 for such purposes. For next week, what airport is known as “MIA”;
no, it’s not “missing in action.” You can send your answers to [email protected].
The Papinville Historical Association will be having a 5k walk/ run, corn hole tournament plus many more activities on June 8th. This will be a benefit to help with our expansion project that the association voted on at our annual meeting April 11th. The project is to build a new museum and use what is now the museum for a hall that can be used for indoor events., programs and for people to rent for family gatherings. We would be able to have more events with an indoor facility.
This event will be the first activity to help us get started on this project of expansion. Registration for the 5k walk/run can be picked up at the Rich Hill and Butler Citizens Bank locations or go to Facebook to the Papinville Historical Association and print out a form. If you would like a t-shirt it is $20 per person and no shirt will be $15 per person. Send in form with fee by May 20th if you would like a shirt.
If you want to be in the corn hold tournament you will sign up the day of the event on June 8th by 10:30 am there will be 2 people to a team and the entry fee is $25 per team. A prize will be given to the winning team.
There will be food served starting at 11:30. Menu will be hot dogs and hamburgers with several sides. Menu and additional events will be in the Mid America Shopper, through the FM 92.1 radio station as well as their Facebook page and web site. There will be a short history series about the trail through the newspaper and radio station in the next few weeks as well.
We hope that you will come out and enjoy these events. If you would like to be a sponsor to help with this project call 417-395-2594 or 816-590-1029 and your business or family name will do on the shirts, Papinville is where Bates County was Founded. Until next week you will get the rest of the story. If you have never been to Papinville this would be a good time to see the history area that the missionaries came to in 1821.

Beverly June (Houston) Herrmann, 86, of Ballard Missouri on Tuesday, April 23, 2024 with family by her side departed with angels taking her home from the Medicalodge of Butler Missouri.
Beverly was born on March 6, 1938, to Thurman Roscoe Houston and Pearl (Hudson) Houston at their rural home in Leeton Missouri. She would say she was the son her daddy never had as she would ride her mare Ginger taking water to thrashers, informing when lunch her mother had prepared was ready and any other jobs that were given. She and Ginger enjoyed many rides together until she passed away at age 32.
Beverly was 14 when she met her future husband, John Dale. He was smitten and like the postman neither sleet, snow, hail or rain would keep him from driving to Leeton to see his girl. Beverly graduated valedictorian from Leeton High and one week later they were married on May 25, 1956, at Highpoint Baptist church by John Dale’s uncle James Willett.
After marriage, they lived northwest of Ballard on Highway 18 in Shortie’s house. Beverly went to work for Henry Radio in Butler and 3 years later Uncle Sam called John Dale’s number and the Army sent them to Fort Bragg at Fayetteville, North Carolina. Twelve days before returning to Missouri, their first child Misty Dawn was born. About 3 weeks later John Dale sailed the Atlantic to Bad Kissingen, Germany and Beverly with newborn soon followed by plane where they would live the next year and a half. This was a scary yet rewarding time in their life as in their spare time they traveled to many countries and made numerous lifelong friends. Upon returning to the states, they bought a farm 5 miles west of Ballard, which they later named Herrmann’s Hideaway, and began farming the land and raising hogs and cattle. Beverly was John Dale’s right-hand helper running a tractor in the field and doing various other farm activities. About three years later they were blessed with the arrival of their son, Darren Dale making their family complete.
Beverly had a strong love for God and began attending Johnstown church of Christ where she heard the gospel preached, confessed Jesus Christ as God’s son and was baptized for the remission of her sins. She was faithful in her daily bible reading, teaching Sunday school class for several years, attending worship service, and being hospitable to visiting gospel preachers and their families and the congregation with meals and fellowship.
Meals have been enjoyed by many families, friends and neighbors as Beverly loved to cook and entertain. She held many celebrations for birthdays, anniversaries, and family reunions including extended stays by out of state/country relatives and friends. Some family favorites of hers were homemade spaghetti and meatballs, hot rolls/bread and homemade ice cream. She was known to put on a spread of food and the community youth Christmas carolers would make her home their last stop as they knew she would have lots of sweet treats.
She is Memaw to her grand and great-grandchildren and she was their biggest fan. She so enjoyed their sporting and school events seeing the grand’s high school and college graduations and their weddings, which one was held outside on their farm. She was a babysitter, confidant, cheerleader, and a christian example to her family whom she loved fiercely. She enjoyed listening to Elvis, going to bluegrass festivals, being outside picking up limbs, mowing and picking dandelions out of the yard. She was never idle, always having lists and projects to complete. She loved having all her various flower beds and enjoyed it when they were in bloom. She and John Dale enjoyed traveling, which included all 50 states and many different countries through Globus tours where they made many new friends and always looked forward to the next new adventure. She always thought of others and one way was by sending birthday, anniversary, thinking of you cards and was especially known for her yearly Christmas card. She put John Dale and the family in some unique poses, but many looked forward to seeing what she had thought up for each year.
God richly blessed Beverly in so many ways during her life and her family will miss her tremendously. She is survived by her husband, John Dale of almost 68 years of the home; a daughter, Misty Wainscott (Rick) of Ballard; a son, Darren Herrmann (Brenda) of Blue Springs, Missouri; grandchildren, Nathaniel Wainscott (Erin), Preston Wainscott (Haley), Dallas Herrmann (Carrie) and Kara Benson (Lance); great-grandchildren Macie and Maxton Wainscott, Brynlee, Blaise, and Brecklyn Pearl Wainscott; sisters-in-law, Willa Dean Everts and Marlyn Strope; nieces Teresa Bond (Terry), Joyce Cote’, Nancy Mckeehan (Jim), Pam Everts, Kim Bogue (Jeff), Sheryl Fajen; nephews, Alan Everts (Jill) and Bill Everts (Beth); and a special friend, Shirley Umstattd.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a sister, Barbra Combs; brothers-in-law, Ray Combs, Dale Everts and Jim Strope; a niece, Karan Combs Miller; and a nephew, Danny Everts.
At approximately 7:10 am Tuesday morning, April 23rd, the Stone County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to an address on Elm Springs Road in northern Stone County in reference to a suspicious situation. Deputies arriving on scene found a deceased 50 year old male with a gunshot wound. Detectives were called to the scene.
In a
cooperative effort with the Missouri Highway Patrol, Cedar County Sheriff's
Office, Vernon County Sheriff's Office, Christian County Sheriff's Office and
the Stone County 911 dispatch, the suspect was taken into custody after a short
standoff on US Highway 54 in Vernon County.
On Wednesday,
April 24th, a warrant was issued through the Stone County Associate Circuit
Court for Chris Tina Miller for Murder 1st degree and Armed criminal action.
She is being held without bond. These charges are from the Stone County
Sheriff's Office investigation.
HERE'S YOUR CHANCE TO BE A PART OF A SPECIAL EVENT IN CLINTON:
The Global War on Terror, Wall of Remembrance is coming to
Clinton the first weekend of May. Romans Warrior Foundation and Clinton Tourism
are looking for folks that would like to help set-up and takedown this Wall.
Set-up will be May 2nd at 3pm, takedown will be at 9am on May 5th. There will be
some team heavy lifting and Clinton is looking for about 12 people. For all the
details, contact David at [email protected] or call 660-885-8166.
The All American Kayak Classic and Romans Warrior Foundation are locking shields!! Together and because of the hard work by the Greater Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce, a unique opportunity is about to take place in Clinton, MO at the Benson Convention Center, May 3rd and 4th!
Each year the All American Kayak Classic hosts its annual event that see’s some 200 plus kayak anglers from around the nation, descend upon Truman Lake. The prize, a $10,000.00 dollar first place check. In addition, the AAKC also crowns a top club from around the Midwest with a $5,000.00 dollar prize on the line. Not to mention, bragging rights for a full year. This year, there’s an even bigger prize that will be on display for the Greater Clinton area citizens to visit and experience.
The Global War on Terror, Wall of Remembrance.
The Romans Warrior Foundation will be bringing this mobile
memorial and putting it on display for all to experience while the AAKC is
taking place. Both Friday and Saturday the Wall will be on full display at the
Benson Convention Center. The Wall is roughly 120’ feet long and has two
viewable sides.
One side is the Education element where visitors can see when
the Global War on Terror actually began and a timeline is in place for them to
learn what has happened over the past 40 years. The other side is the Honor
side. Our brothers and sisters names that have fallen to the GWOT are etched
into the frames and their memory and legacy will carry forward with each stop
and event, the Wall experiences.
For some, this will be an experience they will never forget. For others, perhaps learning about the GWOT from a perspective of no politics and no bias. Just real information. And for others, this wall will give them a chance to see names and read those names aloud to honor their fallen friends and family.
The GWOT Wall is the only mobile memorial in the United States that is dedicated to this era. It’s because of like-minded organizations that this opportunity will be on display. The All American Kayak Classic, the Romans Warrior Foundation, and most of all, the Greater Area Chamber of Commerce have all made this possible. Locking Shields for the purpose of bringing healing to the Greater Clinton area is the drive and its about to take place on May 3rd and 4th!!
Don’t miss this amazing opportunity as this is free and open to the public from Friday morning all the way through Sunday Morning.

COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri Extension is recruiting farmers for a project aimed at improving the productivity of forage-based operations in areas dominated by tall fescue grass.
Participating operations would work with extension specialists to implement grassland management practices that are known to improve productivity and provide environmental benefits, according to Harley Naumann, MU Extension state specialist in forage and grazing management. Operations will be compensated for their participation.
“This grant represents an investment in Missouri farmers and ranchers that are interested in improving productivity of their grazing lands using climate-smart production practices,” Naumann said. “Implementing climate smart agriculture practices in Missouri is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. I look forward to assisting Missouri farmers and ranchers with implementing climate-smart practices in forage livestock systems that are functionally adaptable to individual production goals and objectives.”
The project is an initiative of the Grasslands Partnership (www.grasslandspartnership.org), which is organized by extension services in nine states within the “tall fescue belt.” Funding is through the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Climate Smart Commodities program.
Practices farms could implement under the program include:
In addition to incentive payments, expected benefits include forage drought resilience, improved soil and water quality and wildlife habitat, said Naumann. Developing carbon and environmental benefits can lead to a carbon market that may offer producers an alternative income source.
Participating producers will work with extension specialists to determine which practices best fit the farm. Ideally, each farm will use three or more practices, with each practice implemented on a different pasture. A separate pasture must be maintained with your typical management practices so the Grasslands Partnership can compare outcomes. Participants are also expected to keep records on implementation of the practices; allow access to their farms for pasture assessment, soil sampling and other monitoring; and host two field days during the five-year course of the project.
The Butler Saddle Club is searching for riders to be a part of the Butler Saddle Club Flag Team. The flag team is responsible for setting the pivots and carrying the event flags each night of the rodeo. The Butler Saddle Club Rodeo is one of the few rodeos where we set pivots before the events. In past years, the Butler Saddle Club Flag team would do a performance routine 2 nights of the rodeo; one on Friday night to honor our Veterans and on Saturday night to honor breast cancer survivors and for those who are no longer here with us today. We would love to bring those routines back to the rodeo.

Local communities have banded together once again for a family in need. The Comer family relinquished their apartment, personal items, and home furnishing to the Adrian United Methodist Church as church members came to the aid of Bobby, Becki, and Chris Comer, lifelong residents of Adrian.
A goal was set to help
this family as they improve their living
conditions. So far, the monetary cash donations have paid for Bobby, Becki’s, and Chris’s two-week stay at a
Harrisonville Motel, while the apartment was refurbished and cleaned.
The Adrian United
Methodist Church members and 92.1 Radio Station went to bat for this family
asking for cash donations and we thank you for your generosity. Your cash donations have provided
approximately $3,400.00. The need is not complete, as the Comers should return
to their Adrian apartment by April 29th , and the home is not
completely furnished
Donations to date have
paid for the motel stay and food. The church hopes to raise another 1,500
dollars to meet the long-range goal and allow enough cash to replenish the home
with the basic necessities, such as major appliances, mattress and box springs,
bed linen, dishware, furniture, and personal hygiene products among other basic

Sedalia, MO – The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales, the symbol of quality and tradition for Anheuser-Busch since 1933, are scheduled to appear Aug. 8-18 at the 2024 Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, in partnership with County Distributing and Anheuser-Busch.
The Clydesdales will be stalled just east of the Mathewson Exhibition Center and the eight-horse hitch will be harnessed and hitched to the famous red beer wagon various times during the Missouri State Fair. The "Gentle Giants," as the Clydesdales are often referred, will participate in several events at the Fair including the Opening Day Parade on Aug. 8 and the MSF Draft Horse Shows on Aug. 15-18. A complete schedule for the Clydesdales will be made available closer to the Fair.
The Clydesdales’ appearance in Sedalia is one of hundreds made annually by the traveling hitches. Canadians of Scottish descent brought the first Clydesdales to America in the mid-1800s. Today, the giant draft horses are used primarily for breeding and show.
Horses chosen for the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch must be at least three years of age, stand approximately 18 hands – or six feet – at the shoulder, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, must be bay in color, have four white legs, and a blaze of white on the face and black mane and tail. A gentle temperament is very important as hitch horses meet millions of people each year.
A single Clydesdale hitch horse will consume as much as 20-25 quarts of feed, 40-50 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water per day. Each hitch travels with a Dalmatian. In the early days of brewing, Dalmatians were bred and trained to protect the horses and guard the wagon when the driver went inside to make deliveries.
The Budweiser Clydesdales can be viewed at the Anheuser-Busch Brewery and Grant’s Farm in St. Louis, MO. They also may be viewed at Warm Springs Ranch, the 300-plus acre Clydesdale breeding farm located near Boonville, MO.
The 2024 Missouri State Fair, themed “Summer’s Best Story,” is Aug. 8-18 in Sedalia.
