Order No. 11 Plaque Dedicated
(fm92 news) Order No. 11 was characterized as “when the thread of humanities began unraveling and there was no stopping it.” Order No. 11 issued on August 25, 1863 affected all persons living in Jackson, Cass, and Bates counties and part of Vernon County. All residents were ordered to evacuate themselves from their present places of residences within fifteen days of the issuance of Order No. 11.
Order No. 11 was to prevent roaming guerrillas from foraging upon the countryside, and empowered federal troops to seize displaced families’ grain and hay crops. Soldiers and bandits plundered abandoned properties and set many farmsteads ablaze. The flames spread to the adjoining tall grass prairies and quickly consumed much of the landscape. The resulting desolation moved observers to describe Cass and Bates County as the “Burnt District.”
On Saturday, March 22nd the Bates County Historical Society dedicated the Order No. 11 plaque and unveiled its permanent position on the lawn of the Bates County Courthouse. The plaque was partially funded by a grant from The Enbridge Company. The theme throughout the dedication was remembering past devastations and inhumanities help create an understanding where everyone learns tolerance.
Stop by the Butler square and see the new Plaque on the Northwest corner of the square.

Highway Hogs and Hillbillies Poker Run Coming Soon
(fm92) The Bates County Recovery Court of the 27th Judicial Circuit will host the annual Highway Hogs and Hillbillies Poker Run this spring. The date has not been set yet, but plans are underway and donations are needed.
This event is well attended by motorcycle riders from all walks of life with a common goal to support the on-going efforts of the Adult Recovery Court.
This organization gives non-violent drug offenders a second chance to a productive life. To date 10 adults have made drastic changes in their lives as they participate and graduate from the program. Many of them, in the beginning of the intensive 18-month program think of it as a “stay out of jail card” or “get out felony charges”. As they become involved in the curriculum of the program, something happens in the hearts, minds and lives of these individuals. Their eyes are opened to the need to change their path in life and the Adult Recovery Court teaches these tools for a life changing direction.
To date 10 adults that faced felony charges and possible prison time have been transformed into responsible, employed members of the community through this Adult Recovery Court Program.
The Highway Hogs and Hillbillies Poker run is just one of the many fund raising events that keep the Adult Recovery Court active and available to those that qualify and are accepted into the program.

Letter From the Bates County Memorial Hospital
Ed Hannon, Hospital CEO
As all of you know, over the past year there have been tremendous changes happening in healthcare. That is why Bates County Memorial Hospital contracted with The Outsource Group (TOG) to do the billing and collection for patients seen at the hospital and its’ Family Care Clinics. Many hospitals and physician practices across the country are following the same trend with these complex changes.
Much like the federal government has problems launching healthcare.gov, hospitals and physician practices are discovering that it is difficult to make the necessary changes in their billing systems. TOG and BCMH have also had our share of problems with the billing systems.
Our biggest problem has been getting statements to patients for services provided at the hospital and clinics. That problem is now fixed. Over the next few days, many of you will receive statements for services, some of which are months old. We ask you to review the statements, call us if you have any questions, and take advantage of our prompt pay discount this month.
Thank you for your understanding as we worked to fix the changes and resolve our billing problems. It is important to remember, although the billing problems may be frustrating, through all of this our physicians and staff continue to provide all of our patients’ high quality and compassionate care.
