Code enforcement touted during October By Kathy Crawford
teers from Farmers Insurance and Zurich Financial helped with the work on Saturday, Oct. 8.
Mention the phrase “code enforcement officer” to anyone building a home or doing major reconstruction, and you’re likely to hear an audible “ugh.” However, Gladstone city officials feel a bit differently about the folks who enforce laws meant to ensure the safety of people and community. Mayor Barry McCullough officially proclaimed October as National Code Enforcement Month during the Gladstone City Council meeting on Monday, Oct. 10. “October is set aside to highlight what they do for the city,” McCullough said. The proclamation states that code compliance officers are dedicated and responsible individuals who provide safety by enforcing zoning, fire safety and other codes.
Tree removal
Mayor Pro Tem Carol Suter said she has noticed another community problem with which older residents on fixed incomes may need the city’s help. “So many citizens have so many dead trees,” she said. Suter said she was concerned about the number of dying and diseased trees she has noticed south of Hy-Vee. She said it is expensive to remove trees. Assistant City Manager Scott Wingerson said the problem is scattered throughout the city, and the JESUS LOPEZ-GOMEZ/Special to Gladstone Dispatch culprit is a bug.

The city of Gladstone received the North Kansas City Schools Education Foundation Cornerstone Award during its annual Fall Breakfast held Sept. 29. Each year, the award honors an individual, company or organization that has provided exemplary commitment to and support of the Education Foundation. “Gladstone has a long history of supporting the Education Foundation through sponsorship of the Fall Breakfast. Even more importantly, it is a supportive partner of North Kansas City Schools,” said Kathy Warman, Education Foundation Advisory Board chair. “Its partnership with the district has allowed thousands of young people to be actively engaged in communitybased activities. For more
than two decades, district students have benefitted from Gladstone’s Parks and Recreation programs, which are often held in our schools and gyms.” The district’s awardwinning natatorium is located within the Gladstone Community Center and is used by high school swim teams, as well as communit y members. Recently, the swim skills of nearly 1,000 thirdgraders were evaluated thanks to the partnership between the district and the community center. A performance by the Winnetonka Pride Band, Flag Corps and Pom-Pom Squad kicked off the Fall Breakfast, highlighting the event’s “March to a Million” theme and the Education Foundation’s goal of reaching a $1 million endowment in 2011.

The Fall Breakfast raised nearly $62,000 for the Education Foundation, which provides enhanced teaching and learning opportunities in North Kansas City Schools, such as grants and scholarships.
Mayor Barry McCullough accepted the 2011 Education Foundation Cornerstone Award on behalf of the city. Since 1996, district staff members have been awarded 144 grants totaling $162,000, and 90 high school graduates have received $107,000 in college scholarships. — North Kansas City Schools

News in Brief
Mental health community changing The Northland’s largest mental health organization enters its 21st year amid a changing environment. Tri-County Mental Health Services is confronting major shifts in both resources and demands in the more than 1,400 square miles that comprise Clay, Platte and Ray counties, according to a press release. “Our distressed economy heightens personal anxiety and depression, while today’s funding inhibits our ability to serve as many of the growing needs in the Northland as we would prefer,” said CEO Tom Cranshaw in the release. “Unfortunately, we find consumers also have many co-occurring disorders of mental illness, substance use and chronic physical ailments.” Cranshaw cited recent studies that project mental health and substance use disorders will soon surpass all physical diseases as a major cause of disability. Onefourth of all adult stays in community hospitals already involve mental or substance use disorders. Individuals with serious mental illness, on average, only live until 53 years of age. Prevention rather than reaction is a key to dealing with these realities, Cranshaw said. Recent Tri-County initiatives include building on recognized strengths such as prevention and treatment of behavioral disorders, while expanding the focus on wellness and healthy outcomes. In one example, Tri-County is pursuing establishment of a Healthcare Home to better coordinate medical, behavioral, and related social services.
Business Person of the Year, Young Entrepreneur of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, and other small business and business advocacy awards. State winners of the Small Business Person of the Year awards attend the national Small Business Week celebration in Washington, D.C., to compete for the title of National Small Business Person of the Year. Award winners in other categories go on to compete at the regional and national levels. National champions are invited to attend the national event. Nominations must be submitted or postmarked to the SBA Kansas City District Office by Thursday, Nov. 10. For more information, or a copy of the nomination guidelines, contact Barbara Caldwell at 426-4902 or barbara.caldwell@sba.gov.
County youth ‘chew’ less than state average
Chewing tobacco is illegal in Missouri for those younger than 18, yet 5 percent of kids in sixth through 12th grades in Clay County reported using chewing tobacco in a 2007 survey. That’s lower than the state average of 6 percent, according to a press release. This goes along with data from a 2009 national survey from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration that found that nearly half of the new users of smokeless tobacco were younger than 18 when they first used it. Smokeless tobacco comes in two forms: chewing tobacco and snuff. In 2009, snuff was the most popular form of smokeless tobacco purchased in the U.S with 75.3 percent of the smokeless tobacco market share, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cigarettes are still used more frequently among Missouri students in junior and The Northland Regional high school. Chamber of Commerce is The National Cancer Insticollecting donations for its tute reported that there are 2011 annual auction. at least 28 chemicals found A portion of the proceeds in smokeless tobacco that is used for scholarships that can cause cancer. will be given at the 2012 Education Banquet.

Truck checks yield 59 citations Capt. Robert L. Powell, commanding officer of Troop A of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, has announced the results of the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program truck check, which was conducted on Sept. 1, 21 and 28. This operation was conducted in Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass counties by commercial vehicle enforcement troopers and commercial vehicle enforcement officers from Troop A. The goal of the operation was to remove unsafe commercial vehicles and unqualified or impaired drivers from Missouri roadways. Officers set up numerous checkpoints around the Kansas City metropolitan area. Officers then stopped commercial vehicles to conduct random driver and vehicle inspections. During the three-day operation, officers performed 75 inspections. There were 16 drivers and vehicles placed out of service. In addition, officers made two misdemeanor warrant arrests, issued 59 hazardous moving citations and issued 200 warnings.
Calendars benefit K.C. police families Only.young.once, a children’s photography boutique in Kansas City North, is sponsoring a calendar fundraiser to benefit the Kansas City Police Department’s CARE Team. Since its inception in 1992, the CARE Team has helped hundreds of police officers and their families. The CARE Team has 400 volunteers who help members of the police family deal with challenges such as a line-of-duty injury or death, or a military deployment. The 12-month 2012 weCARE calendar will feature children and grandchildren of police department personnel, and be distributed in mid-November. All proceeds will be given to the CARE Team.

100 county burglaries so far this year By Nancy Hull Rigdon They typically show up when no one is home, knock down the door, grab valuable items and then move on to the next house. A similar series of events has occurred more than 100 times in unincorporated Clay County this year. The Clay County Sheriff’s Office has worked more than 100 home burglaries so far this year, which is up from past years, according to Capt. Ron Jackson. The department has made close to 30 arrests and identified five burglary rings, according to detective Sgt. Matt Hunter. As a result, the sheriff’s department is stepping up
enforcement in the rural areas. “We are going to be more aggressive. You are going to see us out more,” Jackson said. “If we see a garage door open, we are making contact.” Jackson said the department has recovered more than $300,000 in property from home burglaries since July. “Our guys and girls have been working really hard. There were some instances where we were able to recover property before people knew it was stolen,” Jackson said. The thieves typically hit when no one is home. First, they check to see if anyone is at the residence. “We had a crew that, if someone answered the door, said they were looking for a lost dog, which was kind of odd. You’re
not going to go down a long driveway out in the country looking for a lost dog,” Jackson said. The sheriff’s department is looking to combat the usual burglary spike around the winter holidays. “Nothing is worse than coming home to find that all your Christmas presents are gone,” Jackson said. Jackson and Hunter offered the following tips to deter burglars. • Put thorn bushes in front of windows. • Have a video surveillance system. • If you see something suspicious, don’t hesitate to report it. • Use the sheriff’s department’s home watch system. • Contact the sheriff’s department at 407-3750.

In August, an interpretive sign, providing the history of Claybrook, was added. The parks department would like to use the remaining insurance money — $85,000 — to add a playground. “The addition of a playground to the largest shelter in the system will increase its desirability for larger family outings, reunions and company events, which in turn increases revenues from these rentals,” the parks department’s request read. During the Oct. 3 meeting, commissioners were receptive to the proposal.

Automaker expected to build stamping facility in Northland By Angie Anaya Borgedalen If Ford Motor Co. and the United Auto Workers ratify proposed changes to a national contract agreement this month as expected, the automaker could also announce plans to expand its Northland presence. Ford and the UAW announced last week that the company planned to add 1,600 jobs and invest $1.1 billion in the Claycomo assembly plant. The new jobs would bring the number of employees working at the plant to approximately 5,400. According to the UAW’s website, members of Local 249 are scheduled to meet from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16, at Winnetonka High School to vote on the national agreement.
Ford owns land in Liberty adjacent to its existing plant in Claycomo. In late July, the Liberty City Council voted to rezone 294 acres east of U.S. Highway 69 at the request of Ford from suburban residential to business park district. This rezoning gives Ford the flexibility to use the property for a mix of uses, including manufacturing, distribution and warehousing. For several years, Liberty officials and economic development promoters have been working to attract auto-related industry to the site. Mayor Greg Canuteson said he was excited that Ford might build a stamping plant that would make sheet metal parts for the European-style, full-sized Transit van in Liberty. “Everything is still pending,” Canuteson said. “But it looks like all the hard work
the city has been putting in over the last two and a half years is paying off.” Canuteson said until Ford officially makes an announcement, he could not confirm any details on the size of the investment or number of jobs created at the proposed stamping State Rep. Jerry Nolte of Gladstone, who last year led the charge in Jefferson City to pass the Manufacturing Jobs Act legislation that encouraged Ford to invest in the Claycomo plant by providing $100 million in tax incentives, said he was pleased with Ford’s commitment to the Northland. “I’m elated,” Nolte said. “Once the company and the union ratify their agreement, it’s the last link in the chain and we’re off to the races.” Nolte said the $1.1 million investment was more than

he had hoped for. Nolte also cited cooperation among many entities that took place for this to happen. “I’ve never seen this level of cooperation from the school district, businesses, municipalities, elected officials, chambers of commerce and economic development groups and unions. Everybody wanted this to happen,” Nolte said. “This provides another generation of good-paying jobs for the Northland.” Nolte said when the Legislature goes back in session in January, he plans to work to expand the Jobs Act. “If it’s good for Ford, it’s good for the folks that make chairs,” Nolte said. “We want good-paying, manufacturing jobs in Missouri.

REPAIRS: Homeowner appreciative of work Continued from Page A1 and four parks. “We’ve got a long-standing relationship with Zurich and Farmers,” said Habitat Director of Resource Development Kate Fields, citing their recent joint venture at First Christian Church in North Kansas City, where the group volunteered time with Harvesters and assembled backpacks for needy students. “They come out on site, they’ve helped us out with some bills,” Fields said. “At the same time we were talking with them about some projects, we were talking with Gladstone. We came together to ask Farmers if they wanted to go north, and they agreed. This is the first huge-scale project we’ve done.” At breakfast Saturday morning, teams of volunteers were given their assignments for the day and got to work. One of the homes visited was that of Vic and Jean Straub on North Troost Avenue. He said they had been in the same home since 1976. The classic, post-warstyle two-bedroom abode didn’t look in any sort of disrepair. He and his wife just needed the gutters cleaned and the leaves raked. The biggest project volunteers at the Straub house would accomplish that day would be restaining the deck. Nevertheless, Vic Straub lavished the effort with compliments. “I have nothing but praise for the city of Gladstone,” he said. Straub was connected with the project through the local Neighbors Helping Neighbors chapter, though neighbors were helping him before the organization stepped in. Through the prompting of
Northland Neighborhoods needs volunteers to help with its annual Safe Trick-or-Treat Event. People are needed to help with setup and decorating, takedown and the night of the event. Volunteer opportunities the night of the event consist of handing out candy, working in the haunted house and working the games. Volunteering will count toward school community service hours. The event is planned for 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31. For more information, contact Becky Harrison at 872-4581 or harrison rebecca@att.net.

Volunteers from Farmers Insurance and Zurich Financial listen to speakers during a breakfast Saturday, Oct. 8, at Gladstone Community Center. In addition to a meal, the volunteers were given their assignments for the day before getting to work doing home repairs throughout town no organization, a neighbor simply dropped in and built a wooden railing along the side of the driveway for the Straubs. “There are a lot of good parts to living here,” Vic Straub said. “I couldn’t hardly say what my favorite part is.” In the 24 years Heartland Habitat for Humanity has been active in the area, about 240 low-income families have been connected to affordable housing. Habitat for Humanity as a whole has been active for 35 years, and a half a million homes have been built through its
efforts. The number is nearly exact: the day before the press conference where they announced the milestone, one more home was built. “So, actually, yesterday, we finished our 500,001-th home,” Executive Director of Heartland Habitat Tom Lally said. At the conference, Lally was joined by Gladstone Mayor Barry McCullough and representatives from Farmers and Zurich who accepted awards from Heartland Habitat on behalf of their organizations. “This year has been one of the busiest with Habitat,”
