NA/AA Meeting will be held on Monday nights starting June 11

Celebrate Recovery is a probation certified class for those needing or are required to attend AA or NA weekly meetings. The organization is lead by John Manning of Butler. The weekly meeting will be held this Friday night at 6:30 at the Immanuel Baptist Church in Butler and will then be changed to Monday nights to accommodate anyone needed to attend the meetings.

Celebrate Recovery is qualified to sign NA/AA forms as proof of attendance. If enough people take advantage of the Monday night class, this will add another location in Butler instead of traveling to Garden City, Nevada, Harrisonville or Clinton. 

John is asking that those interested attend this 1 time orientation Friday night June 8th and then the class will be moved to Monday nights ( June 11th).

For more information contact John Manning at 660-679-5889.

Child pornography suspect goes to court this week

62 year old James S. Barker of Rich Hill is scheduled for a pre-trial conference before Judge Debra Hopkins on Wednesday at 1 p.m. in the Bates County Circuit Court.

Barker was arrested in March after a tip led authorities to his residence and found nearly 6,000 images that were later identified as child pornography and child erotica. Copies of the images were sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to attempt to identify any of the victims.

In an early May court appearance, Barker's attorney Sadie Geppert cited a conflict of interest and a new attorney, Rebecca Elliston was appointed. During the same hearing, a motion for bond reduction was overruled.

Currently, Barker is being held in the Bates County jail on a $250,000 bond.
