Boys & Girls Club to Hold Ribbon Cutting and Open House SEDALIA, MO. – June 15, 2010- On June 22, from 2 to 4 p.m., the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri will be holding an open house and ribbon cutting to celebrate the Club’s 50th anniversary and the grand opening of its new administrative building located at 3100 Aaron Avenue in Sedalia. The ribbon cutting, which begins at 2 p.m., will include a short presentation celebrating the Club’s 50 year history. After the ribbon cutting the Club’s new administrative offices at 3100 Aaron Avenue and the Club’s teen summer program site at 314 South Washington will be open for tour. The new administrative building was built and renovated by Septagon Construction and it is the result of a $350,000 Neighborhood Assistance Program tax credit project which was made possible through the Missouri Department of Economic Development. The land and unfinished office building were generously donated by CAV Development LLC in 2007 and additional 50 percent tax credit cash donations and partnerships have made this administrative building a reality. “The outpouring of community support has been wonderful,” said Brett Barth-Fagan, executive director of the Club. “This is the first time the Club has owned a building in its 50 year existence and it was greatly needed.”

The Club received a 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant in 2007 which allowed it to expand into Cole Camp, Green Ridge, La Monte, Leeton and Smithton. The Club now employs 26 full-time staff and 60 part-time staff. According to Barth-Fagan the Club was quickly outgrowing its shared location at 314 South Washington. “We had employees stacked in there like sardines. We were trying to run programming and administrative duties out of the same space,” said Barth-Fagan. “This new administrative building allows us to open up that downtown facility for strictly programmatic purposes. The downtown location is now a new and improved space for the kids.” The Boys & Girls Club has been a staple in the local community for 50 years. The Boys Club of Sedalia was chartered back in 1960 when a group of local Optimists and Rotarians saw the need for positive youth development in Sedalia. After two years of hard work by the founding fathers and support from the community, the Club opened its doors for programming in 1962. Ever since then, the Club has been working to inspire and enable all youth to be great. The Boys & Girls Club focuses its programming on five core areas: character and leadership, education and career development, health and life skills, the arts and sports, fitness and recreation. The Club is still accepting applications for its elementary and teen summer programs which run through August 13th.

Pam LaFrenz, executive director of the MVCM, said the organization was "cer­ tainly interested in seeing our options" for accepting control of the corrununity center. She said the group .requested additional informa­ tion from the city on the oper­ ational costs associated with the facility, which will be pre­ sented during a July meeting of the org~tion's board of directors. ''We are taking a look at expenses and reviewing our options," she said. "Hopefully in August we'll have a better idea of our plans." Brett Barth-Fagan, execu­ tive director of the Boys and Girls Club of West Central Missouri, said his agency intends to remain in the downtown building for another year once the lease is renewed, and after that point it will explore all of its options to continue providing serv­ ices to children in the area "We are always looking for opportunities and ways to meet the needs of the kids of our corrununity. As some doors come to close, other doors open," Barth-Fagan said. In the meantime, any' issues at the corrununity cen­ ter aside from building main­ tenance will be handled by Myers,' who said because Carter is still working for the citY, "we still have the benefit ofher institutional knowledge and will certainly tap into that as needed to address any issues that arise." "Although I greatly value the three organizations housed there and their bene­ fit to the corrununity, I don't necessarily see the role of the City of Sedalia as providing subsidized rent to agencies that need a place to hold their operations," Myers said. 'The subsidized rent is becoming very costly to the city over · e." tim The City Council is expected to vote to renew leases for the three tenant agencies for the next year at its June 21 meeting.

Although Sydney saw success at a young age; she said .she swore off singing or perfonning in public after she was turned down for roles in "Beauty and the Beasf' and "Annie."

There is a desig­ nated meal area, an art space and a separate area where the students can take part in the CSI module. Guthrie said the popular CSI module gives the stu-

dents an opportunity to learn aboutcastings,fingerprUlting and blood platter. The I space, which is decorated willi yellow crime scene tape, previously was used for over­ flow storage. A room that once held offices has been transformed into a theater room complete with multi-<:olored strobe lights, a sound board and a small stage. Guthrie said the theater will be dubbed 'The Studio" and will be used to hold theater and drama pro­ grams. Former office space at tlle Community Center has been transformed into a marketing and media room where the students can work on laptop computers in a quiet space. Next door is a lounge and hbrary. Guthrie said the club has secured a $10,000 grant which will "allow the kids to personalize tlle space." 'The grant is unre­ stricted," she said. "But, our goal is to engage 50 pre-teens and teens in reading." Both Gutllrie and Barth­ Fagan said they are excited about tlle positive changes

associated with the move

because it allows tlle staff to

focus on its work and allows tlle students to enjoy their new, expanded space. 'This really is phenome­ nal," Bartll-Fagan said. tjtfJlIell@sfdoliodemorrot.{()!n

cer, RBI Baseball, the Sedalia Youth Football League or any other youth sports endeavor, the kids all would be left on the sidelines if not for vol­ unteers willing to organize practices, teach the game, balance playing time and set up and take down equipment before and after games. The commitment these coaches make is

worthy of an "attaboy" and our thanks. Herm Edwards, during his time coach­ ing the New York]ets, famously said, "You play to win the game," and he was right­ but that should not be the only reason to play. Better coaches enstlre that the sports experience is fun for their young partici­ pants while also fueling their competitive spirit Every game, someone wins and someone doesn't; part ofgood coaching is teaching the proper ways to deal with both outcomes. These coaches must convey sometimes complex concepts in basic terms to get their players to understand the sport, and teach the value of individual effort contributing to team success - all while soothing fragile egos of players and their parents alike. We pause to tip our cap to our commu­ nity's multitude of youth coaches. Your efforts are appreciated.

Boys & Girls Club BrickHouse Theatre to Perform ‘The Adventures of Mouse Deer’ SEDALIA, MO – July 19, 2010 – The Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s teen BrickHouse Theatre TNT DramaMatters members will be performing “The Adventures of Mouse Deer” on July 27 from 9:30 to 9:55 a.m. and 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. at the Parkview Elementary School gym located at 1901 South New York Avenue in Sedalia.

The play, which is about the importance of using your wits and trusting yourself, is intended to expose the members of the Club’s elementary summer program to the performing arts as well as providing the teens an opportunity to demonstrate their newly learned skills and abilities on stage. For some teen members this will be their first ever performance on stage.

“We’re doing it for the little kids to entertain them,” said 12-year-old Club member, Sierra Vollmer who has been a member of the Club for the past 5 years.

Vollmer, who is playing the main crocodile in the play, went on to explain what she has learned during the summer TNT DramaMatters program taught by the Club’s BrickHouse Theatre Module Coordinator, Chris Clark, who has over 20 years of experience in professional, educational and civic theatre.

“Mr. Chris told me that I can’t be facing the curtains and that it is important to pay attention,” said Vollmer. According to Clark the teens have been spending the summer learning how to be a part of a team, so for this play the teen Club members will not only be acting but they will also be operating the lighting and sound equipment. “We have been working on the assembly and operation of the technical theatre equipment,” said Clark. “It is our goal to make sure each Club member involved in the BrickHouse theatre is exposed to all aspects of theatre. Some prefer to be on stage while others prefer to stay behind the scenes. It takes everyone working together to produce a wonderful show.”

The Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri serves youth from 6 to 18 years of age by providing guidanceoriented character development programs conducted by trained, professional staff. Key programs emphasize leadership development; education and career exploration; community service; technology training; financial literacy; health and life skills; the arts; sports, fitness and recreation; and family outreach.

UZ Rehmer, ~xecutive director of the Sedalia chapter of Mothers Agamst Methamphetamine, delivers a presentation Thursday. to an audience of children at the Sedalia site of Boys I Grls Clubs of West Central Missouri about t e dangers d consequences of using metham h ine. WES DUPLANTIER FOR I'IlE DE

liz Rehmer used to pray that her son would get arrested. In prison she thought he ,,:ould be forced to give up his.seven-year methamphet­ amme addiction, at least for a few years. The heart attack he had at 25 didn't stop ~ from using the drug, which made him ver­ bally abusive toward his mother. She supported him for three years after the heart attack because she didn't know h w to break his addiction. Then she started praying. Two weeks later, her son was arrested for possession ~d ~tenced to seven years ill pnson. He served 14 months and stopped u ing ~eth. His intelligent, outgo­ mg personality has returned and now he show few igns of his addiction, except for when he twists the outer seam of his jeans at the knee a habit he picked up in hi ' drug-using days. Now 33, he is fully recovered and helps to manage the family's bu i­ ness. . Rehmer gave a presenta­ tion .on Thursday at the Sedalia Boy & Girls Club to help prevent tho e children from making the choices as her son.

Rehmer i the executive director of th Sedalia chap­ ter of Mother Again t Methamphetamine (MAMa), a support group she started to cope with her son's addiction. She stood next to a projector screen on Th rsday afternoon in front of about 40 children and t ns. Abandoning their video game and puzzles and dl awing for about an hour, th children listened as Rehmer told the story of her on's addiction, and explained to them what meth is and what the conse­ quences of addiction are. The 54-year-old mom said the presentation - which did how some graphic images of methamphetamine use and addiction - is appropriate for children a young as 10 because so many have been exposed to the drug, which is rapidly gaining popularity because it is so addictive and easy to make. "Even kids that young know about and are aware of it," Rehmer said. "If your par­ ent are using it or you've b n removed from your home during a raid, you're aware of it." Rehmer showet1 the chil­ dren pictures of the drug, talk d about it "street n s" and touched on how e tile most haphazard col­

I n ofh h ppli could be turned into a m tl lab. h .d h tell h r childr n to tay a any tra h on the countr roads by their home out id Sedalia, because meth coo have started mixing their ingredient in two-liter, oda bottles in a new method called " hake and Bake." Meth cook throw them on the ide of the road and the bottles can explode if opened. Rehmer .d he worries about childr n getting hook d n th drug as early : as h' hool. Thp narcotic now is made with enticing bright colors depending on its stage in the cooking process and comes in flavors one could find in an ice cream shop. "Kids are starting younger and now they're making chocolate and peanut butter and grape meth," she said. 'The cooks will say they make it to help with meth's bitter taste when people are smoking it, but some say they're targeting children." Patti Patrick, site director of the Sedalia Boys and Girls Club, said presentations like the one given Thursday are important for children to hear. She said the club will put in more than 90 hours this year educating its mem­ bers and staff about the con­ sequences of meth addiction. "At this age, there is so much peer pressure," she said. "One child who is addicted could influence 15 others. If one child can just say 'no,' so many others will follow." Matt LaC~, a club staff member sitting with the chil­ dren in the audience Thurs­ day, agreed. "It's incredibly important," he said. "I think these kinds of things, showing them why meth is bad, helps them learn from someone else's mis­ takes rather than going throtU!:h it themselves."

PRESS RELEASE 3100 Aaron Avenue | Sedalia, Missouri 65301 | (660) 826-8331 | jconner@bgckids.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 5, 2010 FOR MORE INFORMATION Jenelle Conner Outreach Specialist Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri jconner@bgckids.com (660) 826 - 8331 Summer Fun At The Boys & Girls Club SEDALIA, MO – August 5, 2010 – As summer comes to an end and the beginning of a new school year lingers right around the corner, members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri have nothing to regret; for them, summer was packed full of new adventures and wonderful times. Wednesday morning, the teen BrickHouse Theatre TNT DramaMatters members performed “The Adventures of Mouse Deer” at the Parkview Elementary School gym, to an audience full of bright-eyed elementary Club members and proud parents. The play, which was about the importance of using your wits and trusting yourself, was intended to expose members to the performing arts as well as to provide the teens an opportunity to demonstrate their newly learned skills and abilities on stage. This summer though, the teen Club members have done more than just learn about being on stage, they have also learned how to be a part of the audience. Over the past few weeks the Club has brought in presenters with multiple backgrounds, job titles and stories. On July 22, Liz Rehmer, president of the Sedalia Mothers Against Methamphetamine group (MAMa) came to the downtown Club and spoke with the teens about the dangers of Meth and its devastating effects on families. The presentation was held in conjunction with the Clubs

MethSmart curriculum, an education and prevention program, created to inform youth and adults about the risks of meth use. In 2009 the Club dedicated 97 hours of organization-wide curriculum time to educate its staff and members on Meth awareness. The organization receives funding in support of this program from the Missouri Department of Mental Health. On July 28, representatives from the Pettis County Sherriff’s Office, headed up by Detective Sergeant Tollie Rowe, set up a mock crime scene at the Club so the teens could test the sleuthing skills they learned all summer, during the Crime Scene Investigation Module, in a real world scenario. That same afternoon, Beth Henke from the CitiFinancial bank in Marshall, gave a short presentation about how to budget and save money for both short and long term financial goals. Her presentation was part of the Club’s financial education curriculum which is supported by a grant from CitiFoundation. Over the summer the Club’s teen members have spent more than eight hours learning to spend, save and manage money wisely. As part of the program, the teens have helped teach the younger elementary Club members age-appropriate money handling skills. "I had a wonderful experience teaching Boys & Girls Club members about financial responsibility,” said Henke. “The kids were attentive, and wanted to know all about this information. I was thrilled to give them the info and introduce them to the idea of budgeting, giving them the tools they'll need for later on in life and can apply today.” Henke also stated that kids need direction, and the Boys & Girls Club is a great place for them to get that direction and education. It is obvious that life at the teen Club has been busy in just the past few weeks; just imagine what it has been like over the past two months. To cap it all off, the teens celebrated their eventful summer with a membership drive and pool party at Centennial park and pool in Sedalia Wednesday evening. The event began with swimming at 3 p.m., food, fun and games in the park at 5 p.m. and it concluded with a movie at 9:30 p.m. The Club’s summer program will wrap up on August 13 and the Club will be offering drop-in days at its 314 S Washington site in Sedalia, on August 23 through 25. The drop-in program is for youth 6 to 18 years old and it runs from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The cost to attend is $5 per day and members must bring a lunch. The Club’s afterschool program will begin again at the start of the school year at Cole Camp Elementary and High School, Green Ridge Elementary and High School, La Monte Elementary and High School, Leeton Elementary and High School, the Sedalia elementary schools and middle school and Smithton Elementary and High School. The Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri serves youth from 6 to 18 years of age by providing guidance-oriented character development programs conducted by trained, professional staff. Key programs emphasize leadership development; education and career exploration; community service; technology training; financial literacy; health and life skills; the arts; sports,

fitness and recreation; and family outreach. The Club currently serves 2,220 members in 22 site programs, serving 6 communities and 3 counties in west central Missouri.

Nathan Jones not your typical State Fair Idol John Hansen

M,ssoun has a new State Fall' Idol. and - to borrow a quote from Oklahoma State University football coach Mike Gundy he's a man hes 40 Nathan Jones, of St. Joseph, proved that talented singers come in all ages by winning the 2010 MIssouri State Fall' Idol title on Sunday at the Budweiser Stage. Among the 11 finalists. he was the second足 oldest Bo Weston, 52, of MexIco. told the crowd he felt like he "stuck out like a sore thumb." and Jones had similar thoughts. "You hope your talent and interaction with the crowd can get you over that hump," aid Jones. who looks too burly to belt out Frankie

Valli and the Four Seasons' "Sherry." But he hit those high notes nonetheless, and It was enough to beat out all the teens and 20-somethlngs that fit the prototypical Idol mold. "A younger person like the young gal who Just turned 18, she's young and beautiful and she could sing. too. That's dangerous for a competition. I'm not gonna lie. I looked at her and thought 'OK 1m 40; she's my daughter's age. So yeah. that ran through my head" Jones could ve been referring to either of two 18-year-olds, Felislla Bertrand, of Pnnceton, or Ashton Faith, of Cole Camp. They were the two youngest competitors. However, Jones, a State Fall' Idol rookie, faced hiS toughest competition from fan-favorite TraVIS Gibson, 26, of Warrensburg, who was In his third year of competing. While Gibson performed a pair of country tunes With confidence and charisma to close out the show. Jones' vocal range and audience Interaction gave him the slight edge. "In the preliminary round, when he first walked up there. I never would've imagined ('Sherry ) would ve come out of him," said Judge Chase McRoy. a Sedalia bass player who had Jones and Gibson tied on hiS scorecard. "It was a shocker to see that." Jones followed "Sherry" with Dian's "The Wanderer," where he wandered off stage and engaged the crowd. He was the only contestant to depart the comfort of the stage. Gibson, who chose not to use pre足 recorded Instrumental tracks, was stuck behind hiS gUitar, so that might've cost him In the category of stage presence. Jones comfort With 1960s pop songs helped, too 'Wt"Jer I was aboJt 5 or 6 veal's old my aunt had ar ad W,vli'zer Lkebox ''ld my Jrcle I' gged I' 5 'hat

Jones choices stood out because, as with the prevIous four years of State Fair Idol ourtry dOrTll'1ated the song se ectlons Dane Sackrider 23 of Kansas City was the only singer to perform ar onq ral snrq As oon a~ I W n the Lottery -- bu' even It was a courtry ture. 'We hear a lot of country musIc dUring the Idol competition so It was refreshing to hear a dlfferert genre of musIc and see the crowd s participation," said judge MaryLee Guthrie, of the Boys & Girls Clubs. "Nathan was resoundingly the winner. but It was a close contest Nathan seemed to be a crowd faVOrite Travis had qUite a few fans as well. but when all was said and done we got It right. What It comes down to In this final round IS song selection Nobody else was do'ng that kind of mus c. But I also thought he had the vocal ability" Weston started oft with an old pop tune, The Temptations '"My Girl,' but even he went country with his second choice, pulling out DariUS Rucker's "Don't Think I Don't Think About It" He said he had never sung a country song before. You wouldn't know it. though. Like the other 1a contestants, he had the charisma and singing chops that proved he belonged in the finals. It seemed like a guy was destined to win thiS year Jones. who won the right to open the gr ndstand show on the first night of next year's fair. IS the second male to win the crown.

But the gals were no slouches, certainly. Organizer Thom Fuller liked Mlctlelle LaMonda, 36, of Cairo: Amber Phillips. 19, had local support as the only Sedalian in the finals; Guthrie and McRoy iked Tina McRey, 26, of Belton: Jessica Jones, 32, of Marshall. IS always In the mix at thiS event; and charismatic cutie Rachel Simmons. 20, of Warrensburg, won over pretty much everybody with Patsy Cline's ''When I Get Thru With You.' There was enough talent of both genders that talk about dissolving the competition seems a bit Silly In retrospect. Such discussions took place dUring the meetings for tllis year's fair, and the chatter might suriace again before next August. But the organizers would be wise to adhere to the old adage. If it ain t broke, don't fiX It." The fact that the Idol final round IS the biggest daytime Bud tent draw, and that even the preliminaries bring in more people than the afternoon bands, proves that Idol ain't broke Tweaks might be in order, though. Guthrie suggested that the format should be more like "American Idol," so competitors have to periorm four or five songs in order to Win, as opposed to two or three. That's not to say that the current format doesn't produce worthy finalist

though

ThiS IS the most talented group we ve had, Fuller said after the competition 'As far as numbers go, our numbers were down (to 63 competitors compared to 80 last year. We're getting to the POint where we might want to change things up a little bit. But also, we're riding such a nice wave that we don t want to mess with success." Cooy"

The compassion and strength of our community are shown every day in the work done by United Way agen­ cies. Sedalia-Pettis County United Way kicked off its 2011 fundraising campaign Thursday with a "cookoff' luncheon for local business leaders; the purpose of the annual event is to engage employers in United Way and make clear to them the important roles that United Way agencies play. As it said on the invitation: "12 local men have volunteered to prepare lunch for you. Why? Because they want you to understand that United Way is the fuel that feeds our community." Cara Canon, ProEnergy co-owner and a United Way board member, told The Demo­ crat's Dennis Rich that money raised in Pet­ tis County "all stays here, and I think that really makes an impression on people. We have to show that we all want to help and support each other in helping make our communitystronge~"

The goal for the 2011 campaign is $460,000, an increase from the 2010 goal of $425,000; the increase reflects the increased need for services provided by United Way agencies, including Open Door Ministries, The Salvation Army, the Sedalia nior Cen­ ter and Child Safe.

Also Thursday, The Democrat launched a series of profile of United Way agencie. to show readers how the. e organization "work to improve people' live by providing support, care and nurturing to children. adults and familie throughout the commu­ nity."

Successful JCPenney Round-up Event Benefits the Boys & Girls Club Giving increases by nearly $1,000

SEDALIA, MO – August 31, 2010 - From August 4 through 17, Sedalia JCPenney customers were invited to “round-up” their JCPenney purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s afterschool program so the Club can continue to provide local children with access to life-enriching activities that inspire them to be smart, strong and socially responsible. This year’s event saw a 49 percent local participation rate which is up by 9 percent from last year’s event and donations increased by nearly $1,000 to $2,665. “The participation in this year’s event was phenomenal,” said Brett Barth-Fagan, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri. “The national average for this year’s round-up event was at 25 percent, but our local community stepped up and doubled that percentage. It is amazing to think that one out of every two people shopping at JCPenney’s chose to support the local community, the Boys & Girls Club.”

Sarah Martin, Sedalia JCPenney’s Division 2 Supervisor, feels that the increase is a direct result of the strong community and staff support. “I feel that the increases in both participation and donation dollars were greater because our community really cares about our kids. Sedalia has a heart for our younger folks and only wants the best for them,” said Martin. “The enthusiasm from the associates during the round-up also played a huge part in the success of the event. The employees of JCPenney have such a huge heart for our children and our community. We do whatever we can do to make a difference in the lives of the younger generations.” According to the JCPenney Afterschool Fund Web site, The JCPenney Afterschool Fund was established in 1999 and it has contributed more than $90 million to helping support afterschool programs across America since its inception. About The JCPenney Afterschool Fund JCPenney Afterschool is a charitable organization committed to providing children in need with access to life-enriching afterschool programs that inspire them to be smart, strong and socially responsible. Currently, more than 15 million youth in America are unsupervised every day between the hours of 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Through partnerships with the YMCA of the USA, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, National 4H, United Way of America, and FIRST, the JCPenney Afterschool Fund helps prepare children for college, work and life by providing them with life enriching afterschool opportunities. The JCPenney Afterschool Fund also works to raise awareness of the benefits of afterschool programming, and is committed to ensuring that every child has access to the world of opportunities that awaits them after school. In 2009, the JCPenney Afterschool Fund contributed more than $10 million to afterschool programs in more than 1,000 communities across the country. Since its inception JCPenney Afterschool, along with JCPenney, has contributed more than $90 million to this important cause.

UW, From Page 1 $460,000 -- exceeds last year's by $35,000. Last year's campaign raked ill about $507,000. "We had some (last-minute) surprises last year, and that's what re­ ulted." Thomlinson added that he hopes the enthusiasm and support from last year will carry over to this year's campaign, which is chaired by Tammi Kreisel from US Bank. "We understand that all of the organizations that we help, the demand is higher than it's ever been. But we do depend on the working folks out there, and their pay­ roll deductions (to UW) are the strongest thing that we have," Thomlinson noted. "It's kind of difficult to give in these hard times, but this when our community seems to come through." After adding two more organizations --PROP and CACTUS - United Way now serves 24 agencies lo­ cally. And 93 percent of the money donated goes directly to those two dozen organiza­ tions. UW Executive Director Elle Wasson honored some

of the campaign leaders from previous decades, in­ cluding Mary Alice and Da­ vid Malmo, Bob Wolf, Dave Floyd, Betty Blackwell, Sam Corpe, Ann Hamilton and Jane Stewart, in addition to four former campaign chair­ men. "We have a great history of community leaders car­ ing for the needs of others," Wasson commented during her speech. She singled out 1977 - 1987 as a decade of change for the community, "a decade of new growth and energy for the UW cam­ paign." In the early years, the "United Fund" represented 12 agencies when it was formed in 1960. An $80,000 goal that was set then was not met until 1975, she noted. This year's theme "Live United" is the same as last year, and is being used as an 'identifier,'" she said. "We're hoping very much to reach our goal and are able to do the funding," Wasson said. Campaign teams will be staffed by four to six volun­ teer for each division, she explained.

"The most unportant message is that the money stays here for the agencies in our community. It's not money that goes off some­ where and disappears. It all goes back to help your friends and neighbors here in Pettis County," Wasson concluded. Agencies helped by the Sedalia-Pettis County Unit­ ed Way include: American Red Cross, Association for Persons with Disabilities, Blind of Central Missouri, Boys and Girls Club, Boy Scouts (Great Rivers Coun­ cil), CACTUS, Children's Mercy Hospital, Child Safe, CASA, CAP, Food Bank for Central and Northeast Mis­ souri, Girl Scouts (Heart of Missouri Council), Meals on Wheels, Melita Day Nurs­ ery, Minniolia Day Nursery, Open Door Ministries, Pet­ tis County Children's Health Care Team, Pettis County Fund for Frail and Eldery, Pettis County 4-H, PROP, Sedalia Salvation Army, Sedalia Senior Center and Show-Me Christian Youth Home.

In 2009-10 the Boys & Girls Club of West Central .Missouri served 1,761 mem­ bers with life-enriching pro­ grams in five core areas, including character and lead­ ership development, career and education development, health and life skills, the arts and sports, and fitness and recreation. Alex said he loves the pro­ grams. '1 have learned so much," he said.

The emphasis of the ele­ mentary afterschool pro­ gram is on Power Hour, which provides homework a istance and tutoring to all members. The focus of the teen program is on career exploration through partici­ pation in crime scene investi­ gation, photography, market­ ing, video and animation, and theater. Funds provided by the Sedalia-Pettis County United Way help support the pro­ gram.

Brett Barth-Fagan, execu­ tive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri, said funding from the United Way helps sup­ port and sustain elementary after school programs in pur­ chasing su!5plies, providing training and professional development for staff. Fund­ ing also upports scholar­ ships and ensures that the club is a safe place that pro­ vides hope and opportunity for all members. Alex Esquivel said he is thankful for the opportunity to be a club member because he has made a lot of friends through the pro­ gram. ''I'm going to stay as long as possible," he said, "and then I'm going to get a job with the club." tfmnel} 'Sfdoliodffnocrot.com

PRESS RELEASE 3100 Aaron Avenue 1Sedalia, Missouri 653011 (660) 826-83311 jconner@bgckids.com FOR lMMEDIATE RELEASE

October 15,2010

Outreach Specialist Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri jconner@bgckids.com (660) 826 - 8331

Boys & Girls Club Participates in National Lights on Afterschool Celebration Children, Parents, Community Leaders Join 1 til Annual National Rally ***Your Coverage is Invited ***

What: In the month of October, in conjunction with 7,500 events throughout the nation and with over a million people who will be urging leaders to show support for afterschool programs that keep children safe, inspire them to learn and help working families, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri's 16 Club locations in Cole Camp, Green Ridge, La Monte, Leeton, Smithton and Sedalia will be celebrating .; Lights on Afterschool. This year is the 11 1h annual rally for Lights on Afterschool. In communities today, 15.1 million children take care of themselves after the school day ends. Afterschool programs keep kids safe, help working families and inspire learning. Each year this event brings together students, parents, educators, afterschool program directors, and community and business leaders from across the country to show their support for afterschool programs. In conjunction with Lights on Afterschool events nationwide, JCPenney is hosting a "Round-Up" in its

stores from Oct. 13-26. During this time, Sedalia JCPenney customers will be invited to round-up their purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to afterschool programs in their local

communities that provide life-enriching programs for children in need.

Interesting Missouri Mterschool Statistics: According to America After 3PM data released by the Afterschool Alliance in 2009: •

• • •

•

32% (318,282) of Missouri's K-12 children are responsible for taking care of themselves after school. These children spend an average of9 hours per week unsupervised after school. This is 6 percent higher than the national average. Only 12% (120,867) of Missouri's K-12 children participate in afterschool programs. This is three percent lower than the national statistic. 16% of Missouri's K-12 children are in the care of their brothers or sisters afterschool. This is two percent higher than the national average. 32% (283,634) of all Missouri children not in afterschool would be likely to participate if an afterschool program were available in the community, regardless of their current care arrangement. 89% of adults surveyed in Missouri agree that there should be an organized place for children and teens to go after school that allows them opportunities to learn and 83% supported public funding for afterschool programs.

In advance of Lights On Afterschool this year, the Afterschool Alliance released a new special report from America After 3 PM' A Household Survey on Afterschool in America, the most in-depth study ever to explore how America's children spend their afternoons. This special report, America After 3PM' From Big Cities to Small Towns, finds that just one in 10 rural schoolchildren attend an afterschool program - a considerably smaller percentage than the national average of 15 percent. Some 18 percent of urban and 13 percent of suburban schoolchildren attend afterschool programs. For more survey results, visit http://www.afterschoolalliance.orglAA3PM.cfm.

West Central Missouri

Young Members Return to School after Eating Healthy Snacks and Meals during Summer

SEDALIA, MO - October 15, 2010 - Proper nutrition is vital for children to succeed in school and in life, and summer months can often pose a challenge as families struggle to feed their kids without the food programs provided by schools. The Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri is one of 400 Clubs across the country that received $12,000 from the Walmart Foundation to help feed young Members during its summer program. But, it didn't just end with summer program assistance, the Club also received a $25,000 Walmart Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) stipend to support the Healthy Habits program in providing nutritious foods to Club members throughout the academic year. Nationally, Boys & Girls Club of America and the Walmart Foundation helped ease the burden for families this summer by providing an estimated 3 million healthy meals and snacks to Club members across the U.S. as part of a $3.4 million grant from the Walmart Foundation. Walmart recently committed $2 billion to hunger relief efforts as part of its Fighting Hunger Together initiative, There is no question that proper nutrition is vital for children's development. Summer poses a challenge for kids who are eligible for free and reduced lunches during the school year but don't have access to healthy food when they're not attending classes. Staff members at Boys & Girls Clubs have seen dramatic increases in the number of young people who arrive at Clubs hungry as families struggle to provide for their children during the tough economic times.

"Families are struggling to meet basic needs, leaving many young people in a state of very low food security," said Brett Barth-Fagan, Executive Director, Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri. "The Healthy Servings grants and the CACFP grant playa key role in helping the Club recharge and re-energize its young members with healthy snacks and meals." Nationwide, 61 percent of Boys & Girls Club members qualify for free or reduced-price lunches. According to the United States Department of Agriculture website, "Children from families with incomes at or below l30 percent of the poverty level are eligible for free meals. Those with incomes between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level are eligible for reduced-price meals, for which students can be charged no more than 40 cents. For the period July 1,2010, through June 30, 2011, 130 percent of the poverty level is $28,665 for a family of four; 185 percent is $40,793."

In the Sedalia schools the Club serves, Heber Hunt Elementary, Horace Mann Elementary, Parkview Elementary, Skyline Elementary, Sedalia Middle School and Washington Elementary, 68.83 percent of the kids attending these schools qualified for free or reduced lunch prices during the 2009 school year. At the Washington Elementary school, 89.7 percent of the kids qualified for free or reduced lunch prices in 2009 which is up by 9.1 percent from 2007. "Eating a healthy meal is vital to the development of children, and during the summer there are kids who go hungry because they don't have access to healthy food when they aren't in school," said Margaret McKenna, president of the Walmart Foundation. "We are committed to fighting hunger and ensuring young people are getting the healthy meals they need." The Boys & Girls Club' of West Central Missouri serves youth from 6 to 18 years of age by providing guidance-oriented character development programs conducted by trained, professional staff. Key programs emphasize leadership development; education and career exploration; community service; technology training; financial literacy; health and life skills; the arts; sports, fitness and recreation; and family outreach.

BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI

PRESS RELEASE 3100 Aaron Avenue I Sedalia, Missouri 65301 1(660) 826-8331 I jconner@bgckids.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 19, 2010 FOR MORE INFORMATION Jenelle Conner Outreach Specialist Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri jconner@bgckids.com (660) 826 - 8331 Jessica Swaim authoress4@aol.com www.jessicaswaim.com Author Jessica Swaim to Come to Boys & Girls Club Sedalia Native Talks About Her Book -'Scarum Fair' SEDALIA, MO - October 19, 2010 - On Friday, October 22, from 1 to 2 p.m., Jessica Swaim, Sedalia native and author of the newly released children's book, "Scarum Fair," will be stopping by the Club's Drop-In program at 314 S. Washington in Sedalia to read her book and work with the Club members on a creative writing exercise. According to Swaim's website, jessicaswaim.com, the inspiration for, "Scarum Fair" stemmed from her experiences at the fair as a child. "'Scarum Fair' grew from fond memories of both Halloween and the Missouri State Fair. My best friend Cath and I played at the nearby fairgrounds year round, trolling the deserted midway for treasures, patting the horses stabled there and taking imaginary journeys on the old locomotive." Swaim, who is also the author of the books "Nate by Night and "The Hound From The Pound," is a child at heart. When asked why she writes children's books Swaim said, "I loved being a kid so much that I never really wanted to grow up; writing children's books means that I never have to."

During her childhood in Sedalia, Swaim was surrounded by parents who were natural storytellers. According to her website her parents spiced up the dinner table with "witty expressions" and "amusing anecdotes." Her parent's amusing dinner table banter must have rubbed off on Swaim because this same "spice" can be seen in her writing style as an adult. The poem "Madame Ratowski" from "Scarum Fair" is a perfect example. According to Swaim's website, the inspiration for this poem about a fortune-telling rat was a palm reading gypsy that Swain encountered when she was 25 years old. Madame Ratowski Madame Ratowski addresses The Hand. "1 see in your future a gold wedding band. A fortune will slip through your fingers, I fear, when you lose a big poker game later this year. "Your garden will die, " Madame says, with a frown. "You could have a green thumb if you'd just knuckle down. " She closes The Hand and she gives it a squeeze. "You owe me ten bucks and a slice of swiss cheese. " The Hand waves good-bye as it exits the booth, with a fistful of lies and a pinch of the truth.

Although Swaim now lives in Colorado, she still takes the time to model the great storytelling and inspirational community values she learned growing up in her Sedalia home. "My dad, attorney William F. Brown, was one of the founders of both The Children's Therapy Center and State Fair Community College," said Swaim. "I saw how much satisfaction he got from working with his colleagues to make Sedalia a better place to live." Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri Executive Director, Brett Barth-Fagan, said that it is an honor to have someone as accomplished and inspirational as Swaim come to the Club to work with the members. "This is truly an exciting opportunity for our kids to be able to see firsthand that anything is possible," said Barth-Fagan. "Jessica brings to our kids the hope that they too can become an accomplished author. She also helps to foster a love of literature in the lives of our children." For more information about the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri or this event please call the Club at 660-826-8331 or find the Club online at www.bgckids.com. Swaim will also be signing copies of "Scarum Fair" on Saturday, October 23 from 11 a.m. to noon at Sedalia Book & Toy located at 3127 West Broadway Blvd in Sedalia.

JCPenney Afterschool Fund Awards $7,500 Grant to Boys & Girls Club Sedalia, MO - October 29,2010 -Thanks to a grant made possible by JCPenney Afterschool, 25 Sedalia students will now be able to participate in the Boys & Girls Club's Washington Elementary afterschool program offered during the school year. The $7,500 grant will benefit local families who were unable to afford an afterschool program for their children due to a financial hardship. The Sedalia JCPenney associates from Thompson Hills Shopping Center presented a check for the grant to Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri on October 29. As a student and mother of three, Liese Burlingame feels this scholarship opens up enormous opportunities for her family. "For my family, having the JCPenney scholarship means we now have the possibility for a better future opened up for us. Being able to have my three children at the Boys & Girls Club afterschool program means that I am able to be a full-time student and, after I graduate, I will be able to provide that better future for my children," said Liese Burlingame, parent of three Boys & Girls Club member . "Without the scholarship, I would not be able to attend the full-time college schedule that is required of me to graduate in my chosen program. I feel safe in the knowledge that my children are with the Boys & Girls Club staff. Having the JCPenney scholarship available has been a blessing for my family." ###

"We are delighted that we were able to raise $453.99 for the Boys & Girls Club," said Jerry Case, owner of the Sedalia Sears Hometown Store. "During these difficult economic times we are fortunate to have a community that comes out in force to a good cause and is always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. We plan to have more events like this to support our community and local charitable organizations." ###

NEWS RELEASE 3100 Aaron Ave, Sedalia, Missouri 65301∙(660) 826-8331∙jconner@bgckids.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 6, 20010 FOR MORE INFORMATION Jenelle Conner Outreach Specialist Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri jconner@bgckids.com (660) 826-8331

“ROUND-UP” HOLIDAY PURCHASES FOR THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB 100 Percent of Donations Raised at Local JCPenney will Benefit West Central Missouri Youth

SEDALIA, MO – December 6, 2010 – From now through December 14th, shoppers at the JCPenney store in the Sedalia Thompson Hills Shopping Center are invited to “round-up” their purchases to the nearest whole dollar and donate the difference to the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri to support quality afterschool programs. JCPenney has partnered with the Boys & Girls Club to provide at-risk children with access to life-enriching afterschool programs that foster their academic, physical and social development. Check out this video of JCPenney Store Manager, Don Lambertz, discussing the holiday RoundUp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls0abg7esJ4 ### About JCPenney’s Commitment to Afterschool

As the leading corporate advocate for the afterschool issue, JCPenney works with afterschool organizations to increase the accessibility and affordability of afterschool programs across the country. Through its legacy of supporting youth and charitable organizations such as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, YMCA of the USA, National 4-H, United Way and FIRST, JCPenney formalized its commitment to the afterschool issue by making it the Company’s signature cause in 1999. Since its inception, more than $80 million has been distributed to afterschool programs in every JCPenney community thereby making it possible for more children to participate in lifeenriching programs that inspire them to be smart, strong and socially responsible. For more information, visit www.jcpenneyafterschool.org. About the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri Realizing Potential: Our Children, Our Community, Our Future Starting in June 2010, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri (www.bgckids.com) began celebrating 50 years of providing hope and opportunity to local communities by inspiring all youth to BE GREAT. The Club started in 1960 when a group of local Optimists and Rotarians saw the need for positive youth programming and 50 years later the Club continues to positively impact lives by helping youth reach their full potential as productive and caring citizens.

The Adrians are awarded annually, recognizing excellence in marketing communications programs created for hotels, airlines, cruise lines, car rental companies, destinations, credit card companies and more. The campaign will move forward to vie for the Platinum Adrian Award against eight global competitors. The winner will be announced in New York City at a big,

fancy awards gala in February. Director Danner reported that the Division has been asked to take the tourism budget back to it’s previous level, but instead are requesting to hold at $13.4 million this year. Director Danner said that if an increase is requested they must identify where the money would come from-no room in Department of Economic Development’s budget for more money.

Boys & Girls Club to Host ‘Celebration of Art’

(Above) Jillian Farmers, 6th,CC” – 6th Grade Cole Camp Club member In conjunction with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s National Fine Arts Exhibit, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri will host a “Celebration of Art” showcase at Sedalia Katy Depot on December 16th from 6 to 7:30 p.m. BGCA’s National Fine Arts Exhibit program is a comprehensive initiative promoting young people’s creativity and encouraging artistic skills and cultural enrichment. The exhibit enables Club members 6 to18 years of age to uncover their artistic talents, develop their creativity and explore career related opportunities through visual arts. The “Celebration of Art” showcase will feature local National Fine Arts contest winners’ work with a special musical presentation by the Smithton site’s Music Makers program and an all site Club member signing to the song, “I Believe I Can Fly.” “Two of our Youth Development Professionals, Jamie Ditzfeld and Micheal Steward, have latched onto the Club’s Music Makers program and they are teaching Club members the importance of the arts and music,” said Judy Moore, Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s Smithton Unit Director and National Fine Arts Coordinator. “A lot of our members had never had the

opportunity to touch a percussion instrument or learn how to read a note until this year when Micheal started working with them; and you should see the kids’ faces light up when Jamie starts teaching them how to sign the words to a song. By the time they get to the last line of ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ their hands are moving with such fluidity, purpose and intent they take the roof off the building. It is pretty amazing.” According to the BGCA about 4,000 Clubs nationwide participate in the annual National Fine Arts Exhibit event. The exhibit will features four age groups and 10 categories: monochromatic drawing, multicolored drawing, pastel, watercolor, oil/acrylic, print making, mixed media, collage, sculpture and group project. The National Fine Arts Exhibit will be on display at Katy Depot from December 14th through the 29th. The artwork will be judged by an esteemed panel of local and regional artists with the local first-place winners in each age group and category advance to the regional competition. In May, the top piece of artwork from each region in each age and category is selected as a national winner. Thirty-seven national winners will be named and their artwork will be featured by BGCA throughout the year. “The National Fine Arts Exhibit program is one of my favorite programs and events,” said Kim Watkins, Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s Parkview Site Director and National Fine Arts Coordinator. “This program provides Club members with an opportunity for creative expression not discovered in other areas.” To find out more information on the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri or the National Fine Arts Exhibit please call (660) 826-8331 or toll free (877) 242-9260.

Hunter said one donation came from Texas and it consisted of 40 hand-made hats. Other local businesses, such as Print Lynx and Patricia's Mexican Restaurant, have donated bags of hats, gloves and scarves, she said. "We never have enough," she said.

A weak economy did nothing to stifle charitable giving this year, as contribu­ tions from businesses and individuals pu hed the 2010 United Way more than $240,000 over its goal. Sedalia-Pettis County United Way board members amiounced during their monthly meeting on Friday that the campaign's final total for the year topped out at $704,348. The group set a 2010 goal of $460,000 for the annual campaign that funds 24 local charitable organiza­ tions during the campaign kickoff in AugUst - and announced it had reached that goal as of the end of November thanks to a ProEn­ ergy Services contribution of $337,230 in October. Elle Wasson, executive director of the Sedalia-Pettis County United Way, ca1Ied this year's total "fantastic" and said deciding what to do with the surplus funds is "a won­ derful problem to have." 'This community always comes through. It is over­ whelming how they respond when they see a need," Was­ son said. Wasson and United Way Board President George Thomlinson both credited Tammi Kreisel, the cam­ paign's chairwoman, for her UW, see Page AS

hard work in securing dona­ tions. "She gets the award for tenacity;" Wasson said. For her part, Kreisel credited individuals and businesses for coming in with substantial donations despite the lingering effects of the recession. "It is all about the commu­ nity," Kreisel said. 'They believe in the United Way and they trust us to see that the money goes to where it is most needed. It wasn't a hard sell at all this year. Everyone was enthused." Thomlinson said that indi­ viduals and businesses in the area "dodged the worst of the recession" but still recog­ nized "how lucky we all were because of that" "Many of them have a 'there but for the grace of God go I' mentality. A lot of them have been down before and have been helped by one of these agencies so I think they have felt fortunate in that regard and so it was important to help people who weren't as lucky," TI1omlinson said. driclr@sedoliademocrot.com

A group of La Monte motorcyclists are once again preparing to strip down to their undies for a good cause.

The third annual Frosty Buns Run, which is a short ride through La Monte by riders wearing only boxer shorts or bikini bathing suits, will be Saturday.

January 08, 2011 9:24 PM “I think it is so nice that Eddie’s Drive-In has decided to go smoke-free. Their food is great, and with the education about the damage that smoke can cause to lungs, we health-wise folks appreciate not breathing others’ smoke.” “Sedalia has a huge drug, crime and poverty problem which has been going on for decades, since the ’70s, which its citizens, city council and churches choose to ignore. A town hall meeting is needed to address the problem. ” “As I read the paper for the last year here, I am sure glad I am not a clothing manufacturer because if this global warming keeps going on like it is nobody is going to be wearing clothes anymore because the heat is just eating everyone alive. As hot as it is getting I am just going to throw all my clothes away.” “I just wonder if this cost for the Myers payout will be added to the water bill?” “I would be interested in knowing how you get on the list when you hire a new city administrator. Sounds like a pretty good job.” “This is about the deal in the paper about should we put up a petition about the mayor and city council. Yes, I believe we should. ... We need somebody like Bob Wasson was, who really cares about the city of Sedalia, because Sedalia has become a big joke.” “It is our money ... that they are paying Myers off with. It is not right that we don’t know. We demand to know and we deserve to know.” “Congratulations to the Green Ridge school band and leader Mr. Miles. You won the honor to play at the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn. It took lots of hard work to raise the money to go, but you got it done. That was a great accomplishment for such a small school and community.”

January 12, 2011 10:18 PM Once again Sedalia stepped up to help a worthy cause. I would like to thank the people from Sedalia and Pettis County for the heartwarming donations for the Katy Depot Mitten Tree. We collected 630 hats, mittens and scarves — unbelievable. These items were distributed to Head Start programs, Melita Day Nursery, Minniolia Day Nursery, E.W. Thompson State School, Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri and La Monte Elementary School, as well as some individuals. We are still accepting items and will be happy to hand them over to some worthy children. Thank you to the many individuals who donated and the following businesses and organizations: Print Lynx staff, Central Missouri Electric Co-op staff, Patricia’s Restaurant staff, Wesley United Methodist Church Sunday School program, Dr. Bill’s Enchanted Guitars and Mr. Checley, a gentleman in his 80s from Austin, Texas, who handcrocheted 45 hats and donated them. Thank you again. Linda Hunter Store manager, Sedalia Katy Depot

January 15, 2011 10:48 PM “Would one of Sedalia’s many Bible scholars inform us as to the exact passage where God gives everyone the right to vote? With that information, we will be a much more informed citizenry.” “To the jerk that hit the white pit bull at 16th and Engineer, you can call Sedalia’s non-emergency police line at 826-8100 anytime you see a lost, hurt, or stranded dog or cat and they will send animal control and officers to take care of it. Don’t leave a half-dying, bleeding dog in the middle of the road.” Our Senate recently tossed out a corrupt federal judge in Louisiana and stripped him of his $174,000 annual pension. He’s just a small-fish federal judge; I wonder how much the big-wheel federal officials in Washington, D.C., make in pension? Why don’t we balance our federal deficit on their backs for a change?” “I just wonder what people are going to do because they are raising gas prices. ... What do they think they are doing? Our water bill went up, gas and light bills are going up, people only have so much money coming in.” “A few years ago, I had trouble with boys knocking over my mailbox. ... I put up a camera that takes pictures of that mailbox; it still happens to be there. Sounds like a few people out there need to put up a couple of cameras, it might help their situation. It definitely helped mine.” “For all you Barack Obama fans, I hope you enjoy living under a communist dictatorship and enjoy seeing 16 million Americans unemployed, homeless living in tents. Don’t laugh, you could be next. Whoop-de-do — 1.3 million jobs created, where are they working? McDonald’s, at a bar or in some service dead-end job?”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the article and pictures of the C.O.B. Motorcycle Club and appreciated their bold and gutsy effort to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of La Monte.

“$4 million to $6 million for a Smith-Cotton sports complex — really? Well, I am certainly glad to know you are not asking for money, and that it will be funded by private people. Wowee. Build it if you’ve gotta. We sure could use a community center. Where is that money?” “I was wondering if that ol’ John Bozarth was going to run again for councilman. It seems like he, in all the meetings I’ve seen him in, he talks to the city and tells them how to save money and what to do with this money, but nobody ever listens to him.”

“Last week when I was sitting in my car in Walmart, I happened to see the wind hit a cart that was left in the lot. A man walking by began dashing at it, grabbed the cart before it hit a car and safely rolled it over to the cart corral. The moral of this story is even when you think nobody is watching you, someone is whispering, ‘God bless you.’ ” “OK, where is our animal control officer? There is a house that the police have been called there repeatedly because there are three or even four dogs ... they were outside last night in sub-degree weather with no straw in their house. These people need to be tied out to that house to see if they can survive.” “Rusty who?” “At least Rose Nolen tells the truth, unlike other people who say things are so good in Sedalia. If you are out of a job, it is terrible.” “I went down to Bristol Manor ... and they are the nicest people you could ever meet. You come in there and they make you feel right at home.” “Congratulations, Kansas City Chiefs and all the Chiefs fans. You’ve gone from the tomahawk chop to the Chiefs choke. Ha, ha, ha, ha — go, Raiders.”

Liam Buell wasn’t sold on the idea of competing for Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri Teen Youth of the Year. He competed for the honor last year, yet was hesitant to give it another go. “He hemmed and hawed when (club staff members) said, ‘You’re going to do this,’ ” said Claude Buell, Liam’s father. “They knew he had a shot (at winning). We had to figure out how to approach him about it.”

While Claude Buell said he was impressed with the way Liam presented his speech — “There was a big difference from last year; he was more at ease” — Liam countered with: “I want to work on my speech. I think I can improve on it.” Elementary Youth of the Year honors went to Ian Wallen, 10, a fifth-grader at Sedalia Middle School. Ian said he, too, was surprised to win and thought that his essay, which he read before the judges and audience Thursday night, was what set him apart.

The Elementary Youth of the Year runner-up was Madison Fisher, 13, of Cole Camp.

The Youth of the Year award is considered the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. The finalists, from the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s sites in Cole Camp, Green Ridge, La Monte, Leeton, Smithton and Sedalia, were evaluated by four judges: Judge Paul Beard, Sheriff Kevin Bond, Sedalia Democrat Publisher Dave Phillips and Robyn Wadley. Beard said the winners “were pretty clear-cut.” He said the array of categories — essays, grades, letters of recommendation, community involvement, moral character and more — made it easier to define the top contenders. Barth-Fagan said the Youth of the Year event “is why we do all the things that we do,” noting the recurring themes in the students' essays and speeches: that they feel safe at the club, they get needed support, they are treated fairly and they have the opportunity to get their homework done and interact with friends. “These kids are getting something out of this,” he said, “We are building kids up.”

The Sedalia Democrat

There are institutions in most every community that become ingrained in the day-to-day existence to the point that they become, if not invisible, at the very least, translucent. We know they are there, but we look through or past them because they go about their business without a lot of fanfare and they are good at what they do, so there is little to fuss about.

Such is the case with the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri and the outstanding work it does to provide local youth with a safe haven before and after school. But the club does so much more than give kids a place to hang out while Mom and Dad are at work.

That message was fully on display Thursday evening, as the club named its Teen Youth of the Year and Elementary Youth of the Year at the Fox Theater Events Center in downtown Sedalia. Each of the finalists read an essay or provided a speech about what the club means to them. While the theme of having an opportunity to complete homework during Power Hour was constant throughout the evening, there were other, deeper themes in these students’ words. It became clear that their bond with the club is strong, because the impact the club and its mission has on these kids is meaningful. Max Brown, 9, a third-grader at Skyline Elementary School in Sedalia, opened his remarks by saying the club provides him with “a familylike atmosphere. This is a place where I could be myself and where I could get support from staff members.” Hannah Estes, 9, said of the club: “I feel like this is where I need to be.” The Skyline Elementary fourth-grader has set the bar high for herself, as she aspires to become a doctor, veterinarian or zoo keeper. La Monte Elementary School third- grader Tanner Martin, 8, said the club “gives us a safe place to be with our friends and not worry about strangers.” Alex Esquivel, 11, who was named Elementary Youth of the Year in 2010, said the club is “an important part of my life.”

But for me, the most moving address was by Alexis McNeal, a 16-year-old sophomore at Smithton High School. When she started going to the club just two years ago, she was reluctant to join in any activities and kept everyone at arm’s length, “I sat at a table by myself, thinking, ‘Why is my mom making me come to this?’ ” she said.

But as her eyes were opened to how much fun everyone else was having, Alexis opened up as well. “The club gave me a sense of freedom and accomplishment,” she said. “I finally felt I could be myself and not be judged.” At the end of the evening, Boys & Girls Clubs Executive Director Brett Barth-Fagan was beaming. He was rightly proud that the club’s kids “are getting something out of this. ... We are having an impact on them.” He also predicted that, like club alumnus Donal Buckner, who now is as the Skyline site director, at least one of the 15 Youth of the Year finalists will come back to work for the club. “With some of these kids, we are altering their path,” Barth-Fagan said, adding that the club provides youth with “hope and opportunity.” That sentiment was clear in the words of Madison Fisher, 13, the Cole Camp Middle School seventh-grader who was named runner-up in the elementary group. Her essay closed: “Boys and Girls Club is more than just an influence on me. It is a fire of inspiration, and I hope to keep that flame burning brightly.”

2011 Youth of the Year Announced

Selected among several local outstanding youth, Liam Buell will compete against other Boys & Girls Club members for the Missouri Youth of the Year title and a $1,000 college scholarship from Tupperware Brands Corporation in early April. As the new Youth of the Year for the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri, 14year old Buell is a true example of an extraordinary young man recognized by Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) for his sound character, leadership skills and willingness to give back to the community. Being named Youth of the Year is the highest honor a Boys & Girls Club member can receive. As BGCA’s premier youth recognition program, Youth of the Year recognizes outstanding contributions to a member’s family, school, community and Boys & Girls Club, as well as overcoming personal challenges and obstacles. Youth of the Year encourages Club members to reach their full potential by achieving academic success, leading healthy lifestyles and contributing to their communities. Youth of the Year honorees are shining examples and living proof that great futures start at Boys & Girls Clubs.

The event was judged by Judge Paul Beard; Sheriff Kevin Bond; Dave Phillips, Publisher of The Sedalia Democrat and Robyn Wadley, Boys & Girls Club Board Member and emceed by James Abey, Double O Radio on-air personality. After calculating the judges' results at the Youth of the Year event, Liam Buell, from Leeton High School was announced the winner of the teen competition, Stephanie Trevino from La Monte High School was the runner up and Alexis McNeal from Smithton High School took third. As the winner of the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri’s Teen Youth of the Year, Buell is able to apply for a full-ride, four year scholarship to Marquette University. If Buell wins at the state competition, he will compete for the title of Midwest Region Youth of the Year and an additional $10,000 scholarship from Tupperware Brands, the recognition program’s sponsor. The five regional winners will advance to Washington, D.C., in September 2011, to compete for the title of BGCA’s National Youth of the Year. The National Youth of the Year will receive an additional scholarship of up to $50,000 from The Rick and Susan Goings Foundation and will have the opportunity to meet with the President of the United States in the White House. Although elementary Youth of the Year winners aren’t old enough to compete at the state level, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri believes it is important to encourage and honor all youth for their achievements. Ian Wallen, 9-year-old Sedalia Middle School member won the elementary competition and Mason Jasper, 10 -year-old from Smithton Elementary School was the runner up.

United Way celebrat

·ecord-breaking

goalof$70~348for2011campaign By Randy Kirby Managing editor

Tammi Kreisel learned at least two things during her ten­ ure as United Way Campaign Chair -- "You can't say no to Elle Wasson, and never, never doubt the word of Jack Meng­ es." Oneofthefirstevents Kre­ isel was involved with was the United Way Campaign Kickoff event, which featured one dozen chefs who created numerous culinary delights in August at First Christian Church. By September, the campaign had raised two percent of its $460,000 goal. By October, that figure rose to five percent. ."I remember thinking "Can my nerves take this?" Kreisel re­ called. But by the end of October, news arrived at United Way headquarters that ProEnergy had more than doubled their gift over last year to the tune of $337,894. "But ProEnergy's success was just the beginning," Kre­ isel said. "Gardner-Denver also doubled their contribution, as did Bothwell Regional Health Center."

Tho e large, early corpo­ rate contribution prompted Kreisel to established a cam­ paign goal of 640,000. The annual Ty on truck­ load chicken ale \\as a rousing uc{;es . It w~ at that event that Jack Meng \\ho crvcd on the Professional Dh i ion om­ mittee, uggested to Krt:i el that the UW campaign could generate aboUl 700,000. "J told him of my (new) personal goal, but that didn't seem to matter to Jack, and he insisted that there shouldn't be a rea on not to reach a little more," Kreisel recalled. In addition to the truckload sale, other fund-raising acrivi­ ties included cookbook ales, bake sales, chili coo~oftS, T­ shirt sale , photo contest , and even a kiss-the-pig contest. "This enthusia m tran lated into contributions," she said. Krei el commended em­ ployees of everal local cor­ porations for their fund-raising efforts, including Empire Gas, Third National Bank, Fumell Companies, Katy Trail Com­ munity Health, Sedalia School Di trict 200, K P&L and the City of edalia.

"You \ ere all very creati e in your internal campaigns and \\e appreciate it," he said. he singled out County Distributing, which has been a longtim supporter of United Way. The company has reach d 100 pt:r 'enl participation, Kre­ i cI said. With a succe sful cam­ paign come many thanks, and Campaign Chair Kreisel was a bit hesitant to accept her ku­ do. "1 truly feel like r didn't do anything to deserve the praise. That prai e belongs to all of you. "(You) are truly the people who made this campaign a suc­ cess," Kreisel stressed. There was one more thing that Kreisel leamed as cam­ paign chair - 'We are all very tortunate to live in this commu­ nity that recognizes the needs of others to ensue those needs are met. For this, I'm proud to say I live in Sedalia and Pettis County." Jack Menges, Brett Barth­ Fagan, Bob Vickers and Lori Haney were recognized for their service as 20 J0 United

(See UW, Page 7)

UW, From Page 1 Spirit Award winner Jack Menges, executive director of Op Professional Committee for 2011, wa~ Award for Exceptional Service at the ~ Luncheon, held February 18 at Best W~

Way Campaign Speakers. Menges was singled out . for the United Way's Spirit Award for Exceptional Service for his tireless efforts in the campaign. "He helps other organiza­ tions help many more people. He has formed partnerships to make this community a win­ ning example of cooperation, even on a state level. He has a pecial compassion for others, especially for our children," Sedalia-Pettis County United Way Executive Director Elle Wasson said of Menges. Menges, is his acceptance speech, thanked all the corpo­ rations who aJlowed United Way to speak directly to their employees. He then encour­ aged those who did not allow peakers in their plants to do so next year. "Try it this year; you will see that it does something for the campaign," Menges said. He recalled the speech that Bob Vickers delivered to JC Penney employees. "He was talking about people who are homeless. And they dido't un­ derstand that there are really homel 5S (in Pettis County), there were people in tears," Menge noted.

"We touch the people (in need) every day because of what you do. I want to thank each of you, because you allow me to do what I do, because of your giving," Menges told the crowd gathered at the Best Western for the United Way's annual awards banquet Feb. 18. When it was time for Kre­ isel to pass on the traditional sparkly shoes to the incoming campaign chair, she revealed a bedazzled pair of six-inch high-heeled bright red pumps to Chris Stewart, who immedi­ ately responded with "Oh my Lord!" Stewart then composed herself and recalled when UW President George Thomlinson called her on a Tuesday and asked her to be the new cam­ paign chair for 2011-2012. '''Well I'm honored, George, but can I have a night to think about it?'" And then I thought about all the people in this community, and all the work the people in this com­ munity do through the United Way. They're not asking me to do this alone; this is a commu­ nity effort. And that was, as my dad used to say, a no-brainer," Stewart said of her decision to

be the next campaign chair. "It's exciting and daunt­ ing," she said of her new chal­ lenge. 'I really thought a lot about what the community does, and how much folks in the community rally around the United Way. It was almost as if a light bulb went off ... and so I called George on Wednesday and said 'Okay, let's do it!'" The theme of the 2011-12 canlpaign is "The Power of the Pledge," an idea that Stewart believes in. "1 ab oJutely love 'The Power of the Pledge.' We're a powerful group of people," she said, citing Menges and Vick­ ers as examples of people who work with the less fortunate in the community on a daily ba­ sis. A goal for 2011-12 has not been set. But as Stewart noted, she has' some serious shoes to filL" A $6,000 Emergency Grant was given to the Pettis County chapter of American Red Cross, while $4,500 went to Open Door and a $5,000 Venture Grant went to the Pet­ tis County Sheriff's DARE program. Sedalia-Pettis County United Way serves 2~ agen­ cies.

Press Release 3100 Aaron Ave. | Sedalia, Missouri 65301 | (660) 826-8331 | jconner@bgckids.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 11, 2011 FOR MORE INFORMATION Jenelle Conner Outreach Specialist Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri jconner@bgckids.com (660) 826-8331 Boys & Girls Club Seeks Mentors Make a lasting impact As part of a Boys & Girls Clubs of America grant initiative in conjunction with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, Office of Justice Programs and the U.S. Department of Justice, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri is implementing a pilot Mentoring Program at nine of its Club sites in Cole Camp, Green Ridge, La Monte, Leeton, Smithton and Sedalia. Over the next two weeks the Club will be recruiting mentors from all across west central Missouri to meet with Club members on a weekly basis at the selected Club sites to help members establish goals, discuss accomplishments and provide homework assistance help. The Club is specifically seeking mentors who, along with parents or guardians, will provide each youth with emotional support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement and constructive examples in a safe and structured environment. Each mentor may serve up to three Club youth at one time for at least two months depending on the number of Club participants.

“We know the difference that a responsible, caring adult can make in a child’s life,” said President Barack Obama during his Presidential Proclamation on December 21, 2010 in which he declared January 2011 National Mentoring Month. “Effective mentoring programs can result in better school attendance, positive student attitudes and a reduced likelihood of initiating drug and alcohol use.” According to mentoring information released by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America in partnership with FirstPIC Inc., youth who have mentors experience fewer unexcused absences at school, are less likely to abuse drugs, demonstrate more positive attitudes, display greater confidence in their schoolwork and show improved academic performance. “We are looking forward to the opportunity that has been placed before us,” said Brett Barth-Fagan, Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri Executive Director. “We know that bringing mentors into our Club programs will have a positive and lasting impact on the youth we serve. We also know that this is going to be an extremely fun and rewarding process for the mentors because they will have the chance to meet the amazing youth we serve and make a difference in their lives.” According to MENTOR, a national mentoring partnership, “18 million young people, nearly half the population of young people between 10 and 18 years of age, live in situations that put them at risk of not living up to their potential.” Additional research conducted by MENTOR indicates that 15 million youth that could benefit from a relationship with a quality mentor. “Many Americans have realized their promise because a mentor encouraged them to reach for new heights and guided them along the path to achievement,” said President Obama. “The contributions of these engaged adults extend beyond the lives they touch and have a lasting impact that strengthens our country and our future.” For more information about the Boys & Girls Club Mentoring Program call the Club at 660-826-8331 or log onto www.bgckids.com. ### About the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri Realizing Potential: Our Children, Our Community, Our Future Starting in June 2010, the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri (www.bgckids.com) began celebrating 50 years of providing hope and opportunity to local communities by inspiring all youth to BE GREAT.

The Sedalia Democrat

Shannon Harter, a site director for the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri, describes National Boys & Girls Club Week, as “super.” And breaking a world record would make the week even more amazing, she said. Club members at Horace Mann and Skyline elementary schools joined forces with local teen members and other clubs throughout the U.S. to attempt to break the Triple Play Guinness World Record for the most people in multiple venues doing star jumps, better known as jumping jacks.

Harter said local site directors were given the choice to participate in the world record attempt. “We chose to do it because we want to do anything to get the Boys & Girls Clubs name out there,” she said. “And it was fun and crazy and out of the norm.” Emma Pettigrew, 8, said it was “pretty cool” to attempt to break the record, but two minutes seemed like a “really long time” when jumping constantly. Max Griffin, 7, was more excited than some of his friends about the attempt because he is a fan of Guinness World Records. “I have two of the books at home,” he said. “I would be very happy if we made it and I think we have a good chance because everyone in the United States is doing it.”

The “Round-Up” donations will allow the Club to continue to provide local children with access to life-enriching activities that inspire them to be smart, strong and socially responsible. “The availability of affordable afterschool programs continues to be an important community objective in order to meet the needs of working families,” said Brett Barth-Fagan, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of West Central Missouri. “As customers shop for the spring season, we hope they will keep our mission in mind by rounding up their purchases to benefit a local cause.” According to the 2009 Afterschool Alliance report, America After 3 PM: A Household Survey on Afterschool in America, one out of four of America’s school children is on their own between the hours of 3 and 6 p.m. each day.

May 5 – Sedalia Middle School Club Expo o Location: Sedalia Middle School Gym o Time: 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. with an awards presentation at 5:30 p.m.

Each Club Expo event will be a tradeshow style celebration of the skills the teen Club members learned during their participation in the Club’s teen career exploration modules. Since expanding the after school program to include teens in 2007, the Boys & Girls Club has done so with a unique platform of curriculum. During the school year, the Club has rotated five, six-week after school programs in crime scene investigation, photography, video production, marketing and theatre for sixth- through 12th- grade Club members. These programs have been offered to teens in Cole Camp, Green Ridge, La Monte, Leeton, Sedalia and Smithton. The CSI Module curriculum is based upon giving Club members the opportunity to explore forensics and have fun with science. For past year, teen Club members have learned how to work a crime scene, take fingerprints, dust for fingerprints, draw crime scene sketches, identify blood spatters, photograph a mock crime scene, analyze materials under a microscope, cast shoe prints and tool marks and discover the world of science in a unique and interactive way. The Photography Module curriculum provides members with the opportunity to learn digital photography techniques. This year Club members have been working on the mastery of light painting, the rule of thirds and basic Photoshop manipulation. This module encourages members to build their photographic skills as they look through the work from a different perspective. The Video Production Module curriculum focuses on the basics of video production to provide teens with a better appreciation of how films and videos are constructed. This year Club members have learned about developing a storyboard, creating a script, the process for coordinating the video shoot location, video camera operation and the editing process. This module gives members access to cuttingedge technology and the ability to express how they see the world. The Marketing Module curriculum is targeted at developing the creativity of Club members. This year Club members have been working on a wide variety of projects including a TV commercial, event planning, radio liners and event posters. This module gives Club members a creative outlet for developing critical thinking skills so they can see the big picture of marketing a brand. The BrickHouse Theater Module curriculum gives members the chance to find their place onstage, backstage and in the spotlight. This year Club members have been learning the fundamentals of acting, improvisation, storytelling, reader’s theatre, public speaking, stage combat and even juggling. This is just one more way for Club members to learn new life skills in a fun and exciting environment. “We have some amazing teens in the Boys & Girls Club programs,” said Brett Barth-Fagan, Boys & Girls Club executive director. “Every time I see the examples of the skills our members are learning I am blown away.” This summer, elementary and teen Club members will also have the opportunity to experience some features of the modules during the Boys & Girls Club’s “XTREME Summer” program. The Club’s summer program will last from June 6 through Aug. 12, with exciting opportunities planned for all youth ages 5

“Put It On Paper” Panel to Discuss Advance Directives for Health-care Decisions What would happen if you were unable to make decisions about your own health care? Who would make the decisions for you and would that person know your wishes? Too often families find themselves in a situation where they are unsure of the kinds of treatments and measures their loved one would desire. People can use advance directives to make their wishes known before medical situations arise. Advance directives are documents that include living wills, durable power of attorney for health care, healthcare directives and do not resuscitate orders. A panel of experts will provide information and answer questions regarding advance directives at Bothwell Regional Health Center’s next installment of The Doctor Is In, “Put it On Paper.” The session will be at 6:30 p.m., on April 28, in the Bothwell Education Center at East 14 th Street and South Ingram Avenue. Panelists include Dr. Alice Ruttinger, Sedalia attorney Sean Pilliard and hospice social worker Tammy Goehman. “Emergencies in which unexpected medical decisions have to be made can happen at any age,” said Dr. Ruttinger, of G&R Health Associates. “That’s why it’s important for everyone to think about their wishes for treatment and to put those wishes in writing for their loved ones.”

BY MAITHEW STEINGRABER Democrat Reporter m.telngraber@.edafoademoc",t.com

Residents and businesses were picking up the pieces Thursday after an EF-2 tornado swept through the area a day earlier, destroying scores of homes and businesses in south Sedalia. The tornado touched down shortly after' 12:15 p.m. Wednesday about a mile south of the city limits along U.S. Highway 65, then tracked in a northeasterly direction, rav-' aging businesses along U. . 65 and causing extensive damage to trailer parks and residential neighborhoods in a half-mile radius. Dave Clippert, director of Sedalia-Pettis County Emer­ gency Management Agency, on Thursday morning told reporters that officials"had con­

tacted the state and federal emergency management agen­ cies to assess the aftermath of the storm. Local law enforcement and emergency services agencies had also cour d the area Wednesday to get a prelimi­ nary evaluation of the damage left in the tornado's wake. 'We've had about 65 homes in both the COWlty and in the city of Sedalia that have been completely destroyed," Clip­ pert said 'We're estimating we have anoilier 20 to 25 tllat have very significant damage, and a number of businesses." With several other areas also cleaning up aftel," a series of severe tonns swept through ilie region, Clippert anticipated SEMA and FEMA would not be in Sedalia to assess tlle extent of ilie dam­ age until at least the early part of next week.

The tree fell to the north, blocking the street but sparing the house.

"Because- we have such a large nwnber of people that have been displaced, we think that will probably qualify us as a disaster area," he said Clippert said 15 to 25 people suffered minor injuries as a result of the twister, but there were no reported fatalities.

Deadline for fa Pink Flamingo award

z -<

The deadline for 2011 Pink flamingo Award nomi­ nations has been extended through Wedne day by the Boys & Girls Club' on Te t central Mi un. The award is given arulU­ ally to a local resident who gives back to the commu­ nity; has a philanthropic spirit and demonstrates kindtless, generosity, charac­ ter and leadership. The award will be presented Feb. 12 in the Missouri Electric Cooperatives Building on the Missouri State Fair­ gro nds during the club's 21st arumal auction event, "An Eveiling of Heart and Hope." In 2010, the club had sev­ eral nominees for the award but nominations have been slow this year. Br tt Barth­ Fagan, executive director the Boys & Girls Club of West Central Missouri, said recent adverse weather con­ ditions and the state of the nation have most likely pre­ occupied the minds of pe0­

of

-

ple. Barth-Fagan hopes extending the nomination deadline will bring the phil­ anthropic award to the fore­ front of peqple's minds. "By extending the dead­ line, we can redirect our attention as a community and focus on heroes," he said. "One thing Sedalia is not short of is amazing pe0­ ple." FIVe local residents were

nominated for the Pink Flamingo award in 2010 with Cara Canon, ProEnergy Ser­ vices director of marketing, being named the wiruler. The Rev. Jim Downing, of First United Methodist Church; Pam Barb, of Shel­ ter .Insurance; and Don Weaver were wirulers in pre­ vious years. While each winner is GROUP, see Page A4

GROUP Continuedfrom Page Al unique, Barth-Fagan said the common thread among the a ard recipients is their phil­ anthropic spirit "Each one has a desire from within to serve," Barth­ Fagan said. 'They have a gen­ uine care aqd concern for others." He cited Canon's generos­ ity as one of the reasons she was a prime candidate for the award. . "ProEnergy has done amazing things for our com­ munity," he said. ''They are always looking way beyond themselves." According to a club news release, anyone interested in nominating someone who they believe exemplifies the spirit of the Pink flamingo Award can downlQad the nomination packet at bgckids.com or they can pick up a nomination packet at the club's administrative office at 3100 Aaron Ave. in Sedalia. The names and information of all nominees will be listed on the club's website and the club's Facebook and Twitter accounts. Voting for the nominees to advance to final competition the night of the auction will begin Wednesday and con­ clude Feb. 7. Vorin!! ('.an be done at
