TALES: Chamber, Rotary take advantage of storytelling benefits Continued from Page A1 spinning yarns. “Some say it’s a major cause of global warming,” Otto said jokingly. In January, the Storyweavers hold their annual Chicken Festival, a storyteling event that reportedly got its name at the first meeting 16 years ago after someone told a chicken story, which prompted someone else to tell a chicken story. The first meeting lasted an entire week, and was spent almost entirely telling chicken stories. The guild has since shortened the festival to a weekend and traveled to places with no storytellers guild to promote support for the craft. The guild stays in a town for two years and moves on. So

far, members have created four new guilds, in Columbia, Nevada and Springfield, Mo., and Topeka, Kan. Next year, the group will spend its first year in Emporia, Kan. “It’s just ripe for a guild,” Otto said.

Otto’s backstory

Otto’s first encounter with storytelling was in his drama courses in school. He discovered acting in 10th grade and went on to study drama at the University of Missouri. After a brief stint in television, Otto got his “real job” at Blue Cross and Blue Shield. He left his right brain alone until 20 years ago when his wife took him to a storytelling workshop at the University of Missouri-Kansas City featuring internationally known

you there? What does that product do? Everyone needs a story.” He has developed his practice of telling business stories through his work with the Chamber of Commerce. “Storytelling creates mental images, and mental images stick better than words,” Larry Harris, the Gladstone Chamber of Commerce director of membership service, said. “Steve is able to create that mental image. It’s going to convey a truth, Business tales The Storyweavers have some kind of reality that’s started a new program called going to stick with you.” Harris has worked with Storytelling as a Management Tool, in which Otto Otto through the chamber, teaches businesses how to where the storyteller has been incorporate their narratives a member since 1998, acting as board member and ambasinto the employee culture. “Every business has a story,” Otto said. “Why are storyteller Jackie Torrence. “It was incredible,” Otto said. “There was so much coming from just a little black lady. She was on for two minutes, and she had everyone in the room. I couldn’t believe someone with no props, no movement could do so much.” The experience sold him on storytelling. “I decided right then that I had to do this,” Otto said.

sador. Harris said storytelling is so much a part of Otto’s identity that it permeates every part of what he does. “He naturally does it when he’s visiting with people,” Harris said. “He’s great at developing a loyalty and trust. They learn through him and his storytelling what we do. We gain business that way as we develop trust — able to relate to everyone, which is how he’s met so many people.” For two years, the Gladstone Rotary club has hosted an annual field day at Line Creek. At the field day, there are miniature stations with classes where the students get into various activities. One of them is a storytelling station led by the River and

Prairie Storyweavers. Otto tapped the Irish Center located in Union Station downtown to develop storytelling opportunities between them and his guild. Though exact dates remain tentative, the Irish Center would like to have the guild in for storytelling and singalongs one Sunday a month. “Storytelling has been a part of Irish culture for years,” Executive Director Nancy Wormington said. “People would tell stories, actual history. You have to understand that this was many years ago and people did not read. Storytelling became an integral part of the community. We want to continue this tradition at the Irish Center.”

State surveys Internet needs

As part of Gov. Jay Nixon’s MoBroadbandNow initiative, which seeks to expand high-speed Internet access throughout Missouri, input is being sought from local businesses through a Broadband Business Survey. The survey will assist Reg ional Technolog y Planning Teams by assessing businesses’ current broadband status, needs and challenges. In April, the survey became available online and the state’s 19 RTPTs began reaching out to area businesses and various constituent groups within their local communities. These groups were asked to fill out the business survey as accurately as possible and return it electronically or by mail. Businesses are asked to complete the survey and return it with postmark date no later than Wednesday, June 15. “High-speed Internet can have a tremendous impact on the local economy and job creation by allowing businesses to deliver faster services and compete in a global economy,” said MoBroadbandNow Director Damon Porter. “Receiving feedback from local businesses is critical and an important part of the planning process.” Surveying local communities is a grassroots approach to broadband and the tremendous impact it can have on people’s lives. The RTPTs should be commended for their role

ARE YOU A CRIME VICTIM? Unfortunately, some crime victims rely solely on criminal cases for justice. In doing so, they fail to pursue valuable civil cases used to hold criminal defendants and other responsible parties financially accountable for their actions. If you have been the victim of a crime, call us at (816) 279-0861 to see if we can help you achieve full justice. Learn more at missourivictimlaw.com.

When temperatures and heat indices soar, pet owners are advised to take special precautions to keep pets safe. High temperatures can be deadly for pets left without a cool, shady place to rest and plenty of water. To report an animal in heat-related jeopardy, call Humane Society of Missouri Animal Abuse Hotline at 314647-4400. ■ Never leave a pet unattended in a parked car when the temperature is more than 70 degrees. When it’s 72 degrees outside, a car’s temperature can rocket to 116 degrees, even with the windows cracked. When it is 85 degrees outside, the temperature inside a car can soar to 120 degrees in minutes. Leaving a pet in a hot, unattended car is inhumane, illegal and can cause severe injury or even death within minutes. ■ Act immediately if you see a distressed animal in an unattended car. Call the local police and the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Abuse Hotline. A pet showing signs of distress such as heavy panting, unresponsive behavior, seizure or collapse needs immediate attention. ■ Be certain outdoor pets have access to fresh, clean water at all times. Secure plastic water bowls, never metal, to the ground so your pet can’t accidentally tip them over. You can dig a small round hole and place the water bowls inside.

■ Ensure that your pet has access to shade at all times of the day. Your dog might be in the shade when you leave for work, but the sunlight moves throughout the day.

Crime Victim Legal Services is a private law office operated by Chad Gaddie. The choice of an attorney is an important decision and should not be based upon advertising alone.

■ If you run or jog with your dog, take frequent water breaks for yourself and your dog. Remember that asphalt and concrete get hot quickly. You have rubber soles on your feet, your dog does not. On hot days, leave your dog at home. ■ Do not bicycle or rollerblade with a pet. Heat stroke and possible death can occur very quickly, particularly in hot weather. ■ When the weather is dangerously hot, keep pets inside. ■ If your pet is showing signs of heat exhaustion (excessive panting, vomiting, lethargic behavior), right away begin applying cold water to your pet’s extremities. See your veterinarian immediately. ■ During the summer, mosquitoes are prevalent. Make sure your pet is tested by a veterinarian for heartworm disease (a mosquito-transmitted, often fatal disease) and begin heartworm prevention medication. For more information on how to care for pets during the summer months, visit the Humane Society of Missouri website www.hsmo.org or email info@hsmo.org.

Motorcyclists to gather June 26 for fundraiser Janey’s Ride benefits Immacolata Manor residents On Sunday, June 26, Immacolata Manor will host the 14th annual Janey’s Ride (Over the Next Hill for Immacolata Manor), a benefit motorcycle event that helps support people with developmental disabilities, according to a press release. The group rides through the Northland, starting on the campus of Immacolata Manor in Liberty. The 70-mile route takes riders through Smithville and Plattsburg, ending at Stables Grill in Kearney. Registration opens at 8 a.m., and the ride starts at 11 a.m. All registered riders can participate in a dice roll, silent auction and 50/50 raffle, and receive packets with coupons and offers from ride sponsors, as well as the opportunity to meet the residents of Immacolata Manor. Those who arrive hungry can partake of a benefit breakfast of biscuits and gravy prepared and served by the Gladstone International Order of Odd Fellows. A complimentary lunch, hosted by Plattsburg American Legion Post 97, Stables Grill and Farmland Foods, will be served in Plattsburg.

Janey’s Ride also offers the opportunity for riders to enter a free bike show, hosted by the Gladstone Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Two additional trophies are awarded for Best of Show and Resident’s Choice, chosen by the residents of Immacolata Manor. All bike show winners will be announced and trophies distributed at the ride’s finish. The trophies are custom made from pistons. To assist residents of the manor further, riders are encouraged to gather pledges. This year kicks off a new pledge program with incentives and prizes. In addition, all pledges received the morning of the ride will be added to the Embrace the Manor Campaign and be matched by a $50,000 grant from the Dunn Family Foundation. Ed’s Posse, the top fundraiser for Janey’s Ride, regularly raises $8,000 for the manor by holding boot blocks and special events before the ride. At the ride’s finish, participants can enjoy a bikernight environment at Sta-

ADA fishing dock opens at county lake By Ray Weikal Clay County is serious about access. County officials inaugurated a new fishing dock and trail tram designed for people with disabilities in May at Smithville Lake. At the lake’s Bauman Park, Clay County Eastern Commissioner Katee Porter used a pair of giant scissors for the ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of about 25 people. The dock sits about 50 feet from shore at the park’s Crow’s Creek boat ramp area and adjacent to a special picnic shelter for people with disabilities that has been at the lake for about 20 years. The dock is about 850 square feet, most of which is covered. It’s surrounded by handrails with cutouts for fishing poles held by people sitting in wheelchairs and it has a 6-foot by 24-foot fishing well in the center. The dock was designed and built to specifications laid out by the Americans with Disabilities Act. “I’m extremely excited to have an ADA dock in this county,” Porter said. The new dock and tram are part of the county’s long-term effort to make sure every resident can enjoy the area’s recreational opportunities, Porter said. The dock was built over several months starting last fall with a combination of county funds and a grant from Missouri’s Land and Water Conservation Fund. In addition to the wide ramps, fishing well and handrail cutouts, the dock was designed for additional stability even in bad weather, according to county Superintendent of Parks Mike Driskell. That was evident during the ribbon-cutting ceremony as the dock held steady despite a strong wind from the northeast and choppy waters. Driskell pointed out a long steel arm anchored on shore in a thick concrete piling and reaching out the dock. “That connection really makes it a sturdy platform,” he said. Following the dock ribbon cutting, the park’s new trail tram service was inaugurated as several people boarded a green trailer with a ramp and seats also designed for people with disabilities. A county tractor then pulled the trailer on a short tour of the park’s nearby trails. The tram will be available for reservations by people who might not otherwise be able to enjoy the lake’s trails, according to county Director of Parks, Recreation and Historic Sites Charlie Barr.
