She chose to resign to avoid any potential concerns. “I am a proud graduate of the district and am honored to have served its students and staff as a board member,” she said. “It was a hard decision to make, but one that is in the best interest of the district,” she said. Henderson’s departure adds a fourth vacancy to the board roll. Three seats are up for renewal in the April 3 election, but a different process is required to fill Henderson’s slot.

News in Brief
Salvation Army sets record with kettles
By Chris Stuckenschneider
CHAPTER 8: Dog Jack, Proud Bullie with Clout
If my brain’s not gone to kibbles and bits, our last chapter was about the Battle of Franklin and a Union bullie, which isn’t a term for a schoolyard troublemaker but a nickname for bull terriers.
wounded, remaining by his side until help came. His comrades returned the favor when Jack was struck at the Battle of Malvern Hill, in Virginia in 1862, where he sustained severe injuries. “You can’t keep a good man down,” Walt always says. Those words applied to Dog Jack too. Though he was badly wounded he recovered and a couple of months later saw action at Antietam.
I’d like to introduce you to another, Dog Jack’s his name, and he was spotted too, but brown and white, not black and white like Ol’ Harvey. There’s a painting of Dog Jack, and a nice one at that, in the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum in Oakland, Pa.
The Salvation Army raised $147.6 million through the 2011 Red Kettle Campaign, marking a new record for the campaign. The 3.4 percent fundraising increase from 2010 highlights the support of American donors who gave generously despite a continued slow economy, according to a press release. In its 120th year, after beginning on the wharf in San Francisco in 1891, the Red Kettle Campaign has become a Christmas tradition that utilizes volunteers to ring bells at 25,000 red kettles across the country. Corporate partners Walmart and Sam’s Club hosted kettles at store and club locations to collect $41.5 million and $5 million respectively. The Walmart Foundation also made a donation of $1 million to the Army.
his luck ran out. For six months he languished under the bonds of the Confederacy, a prisoner who didn’t give a flea’s saddlebag of information to the enemy. Even in captivity, Dog Jack did the Union proud. The bullie meant so much to his regiment they devised a plan for his release. Dog Jack became the only canine ever traded for a Confederate prisoner. At Belle Isle, the Union handed over a gray coat and got back their patch-eyed friend Jack. That was May 3, 1863. After six months of being jailed, Jack was back with his men.
A happy ending would have been nice, but Jack’s tale isn’t the classic Lassie story. While he served another year, Jack disappeared in Frederick, Md., in 1864, two days before Christmas. Many believed Jack was stolen for the new $75 silver collar the Union guys pitched in to buy for him.
Now everyone knows the typical firehouse mascot is a Dalmatian, but long before that there was definitive Dog Jack, a firefighter ruffian with a piratelike patch over one eye. Dog Jack entered the Civil War with the Volunteer Fireman of Niagara, Pa.

A Weston man has been charged with two felonies in connection to a Saturday morning stabbing in Gladstone. Dane L. Greathouse, 27, faces one count of firstdegree assault and one count of armed criminal action for the Feb. 18 incident in which Greg R. “Rob” May was reportedly stabbed with a pocketknife, according to court records. Greathouse told police the stabbing was done in self-defense. At about 5:40 a.m. Feb. 18, Gladstone officers were dispatched to meet Kansas City police at the Vienna Square Apartments on 64th Street, according to the Gladstone Public Safety statement of probable cause. Witness Kyle A. McCormick told police he had been asleep in May’s vehicle, according to the police report. When he awoke, he saw Greathouse, also known as Diggler, standing in front of the vehicle with a knife telling McCormick to leave the scene. McCormick also told police May approached the car and said, “He stabbed me.” May attempted to drive away from the apartment complex parking lot but was unable to do so. McCormick said he moved into the driver’s seat and started driving to North Kansas City Hospital. En route, he called 911 and was advised to pull over to wait for an ambulance. McCormick stopped in the parking lot at AMF Northland Lanes on Vivion Road. Truman Medical Center staff later told police the

Witness says victim, suspect had ongoing feud stab wound had reached May’s bowels. Greathouse was taken into police custody after returning to the scene of the stabbing at about 7 a.m. When asked about what items he had with him, the police report states that Greathouse gestured toward his pants pocket and responded, “There’s the knife in question.” Police retrieved a folding pocketknife from the pocked Greathouse had indicated. Greathouse told police he had been staying overnight with a friend who lived at Vienna Square Apartments when he heard loud noises from outside, which he thought was caused by someone damaging his vehicle. Once outside, Greathouse encountered May and the two started exchanging obscenities. May then punched Greathouse, according to police records, and a physical altercation ensued, ending with May being stabbed once. Before May a nd McCormimck left the

scene, Greathouse told police McCormick pointed a gun at Dane. Greathouse was quoted in the police report as saying he did not call 911 because, “I don’t want to go to jail, it’s a probation violation.” He also said if he had had a gun, he would have pulled it out and fatally shot May. McCormick later told police there had been an ongoing feud between May and Greathouse stemming from May’s belief that the other man had stolen clothing and checks from May’s vehicle. Greathouse has been charged in a handful of cases in Clay and Platte counties in the past two years. An order of protection was filed against him in June 2011 for adult abuse stalking, according to Missouri Case.net. If convicted, Greathouse could face a 10to 30-year prison term or life imprisonment for the assault charge and three years in prison for the armed criminal action charge.

Missouri News in Brief
Senator: Time of yellow lights should not vary A Missouri senator with notoriously pointed views on traffic signals has passed a bill through the state Senate to standardize the length of time lights stay yellow at intersections throughout the state. Sen. Jim Lembke, R-St. Louis, who has introduced numerous pieces of legislation in the past to eliminate or undermine traffic light cameras, argued that it’s unfair to Missouri motorist to have yellow light signals that vary drastically from intersection to intersection. “It’s a public safety issue,” Lembke told his Senate colleagues shortly before the voted to send the legislation on to the House of Representatives on Thursday, Feb. 16. The legislation does not stipulate how long yellow light signals are to last, but it does direct the state to come up with a standard length of time in accordance with nationally recognized engineer standards set forth in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. No yellow light could be shorter than the standardized length of time. — Missouri News Horizon
Restricted teen tanning eyed Juvenile teens would be restricted from tanning in salons under two bills presented to a House committee Feb. 15. One measure before the House Health Care Policy would prohibit anyone under the age of 15 from
using a tanning salon. The second bill would require parental consent for the use of tanning beds for teenagers 17 years and younger. “Children are more susceptible to harm caused by tanning devices than other people are,” said Rep. Jay Barnes, R-Jefferson City. “Children are different. They are not old enough to know what’s best for them.” Dr. Rachel L. Hailey, a physician in Lee’s Summit, presented a statement from the National Cancer Institute saying tanning bed users are 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma than those who never use tanning beds. Hailey urged representatives to support the bills to protect the youth from potentially life-threatening cancers. No one testified in opposition to either bill. — Josie Butler for Missouri Digital News
Bipartisan criticism for education plan A Republican legislator’s plan for improving Missouri’s teachers came under bipartisan attack Feb. 15 for being too vague and ineffective. The senator’s bill would require each school district to create a system of evaluating teachers and its own standards for “instructional improvement.” Two senators from St. Louis County, Republican Jane Cunningham and Democrat Maria Chappelle-Nadal, said the legislation fails to establish a quantifiable standard for student performance. Cunningham said that without
MGE dropped natural gas rates Feb. 13
specifying what qualifies as “learning,” a district could create lower standards than what the state requires. Cunningham said the bill, sponsored by Rep. Brad Lager, R-Savannah, comes too late in an existing conversation. Chappelle-Nadal said schools in St. Louis County, where she serves on a school board, already have these practices. — Stephanie Ebbs for Missouri Digital News
To reflect estimated changes in the wholesale cost of natural gas for the remaining 2012 winter season, Missouri Gas Energy customers will see natural gas rates drop under a filing that was to take effect Feb.13, according to a press release. MGE residential customers were paying approximately 62 cents per hundred cubic feet of natural gas. Under this filing, the rate has dropped to approximately 53 cents per Ccf. The PSC continues to encourage c ustomers to work to reduce their energy consumption. A number of energy saving tips can be found at w w w.beenerg yef f ic ient. org from the commission and Missouri Department of Natural Resources. Approximately 65 to 75 percent of a customer’s natural gas bill reflects the cost of natural gas from wholesale suppliers. The wholesale cost of natural gas (the cost a local natural gas company must pay to its suppliers for natural gas) is not regulated by the PSC. The wellhead cost of natural gas is unregulated and is primarily driven by supply, demand and the weather. The PSC does conduct an annual regulatory review to ensure that regulated natural gas companies make prudent decisions in securing natural gas supplies for their customers.
Obama’s citizenship at issue again Questions about President Barack Obama’s citizenship surfaced during a House committee hearing Feb. 14. The House Elections Committee conducted a public hearing on a bill that would require all presidential and vice presidential candidates to submit their proof of citizenship to be on the Missouri ballot. The bill’s sponsor, Rep. Lyle Rowland, R-Cedarcreek, said his measure responds to “controversy” about the current president. “We are here in the Show-Me State, and we just want to be shown if what they (candidates) claim to be is true,” Rowland said. Rep. Stacey Newman, DSt. Louis County, opposed the bill and called it an “utter waste of time.” Newman said that presidential candidates are nominated by the National Republican and Democratic parties, who are responsible for vetting their qualifications. — Jordan Shapiro for Missouri Digital News
Senate OKs delay in candidate filing for August primary By Matthew Patane Missouri Digital News
State senators suspended chamber rules Thursday, Feb. 16, to put a bill on the fast track that would push back candidate filing dates for Missouri’s August 2012 primary. The next day, the Senate gave the measure final approval and sent it to the House. The bill would push back the filing period a month, moving the opening day for filing from Feb. 28 to March 27. The proposal also includes a provision that would require the Secretary of State to reimburse local governments for costs incurred while advertising the new filing date. Sen. Mike Parson, RBolivar, said he sponsored the proposal to give candidates an appropriate time frame to file for candidacy because Missouri’s district maps are still being reviewed by the courts. “Hopefully the commission can get a map done by that point,” Parson said. Missouri’s Supreme Court threw out the Senate map drawn by a panel of appeals court judges and tossed the redistricting issue back to a bipartisan citizens commission. That commission was scheduled to meet the
weekend after the Senate’s action. Unless the Senate redistricting commission were to act quickly, on the opening day of filing, candidates would not know for certain in which Senate districts they reside. In addition, a challenge to the House districts is before a circuit court, and the state Supreme Court is reviewing a challenge to the congressional district maps. Parson said the changes only apply to the 2012 election and that the governor was on board with delaying the filing period. The Senate’s final vote on the measure came on the same day Missouri’s Supreme Court heard another round of arguments about the congressional map.

School Briefs
Students help Catholic classmates Each year, Northland Catholic Schools designates a charity to help during the fall semester. With so much devastation from the May 2011 tornado in Joplin, the schools decided to help the Catholic schools in the southwest Missouri city. Joplin’s Catholic schools have been re-built since last spring but are still in need of basic office supplies and equipment. Most years the Northland’s Catholic schools each hold out-of-uniform days to help raise money. This year they did something different. Collectively, Northland Catholic Schools teamed up with Wendy’s to for a community restaurant night. Wendy’s, in turn, donated 10 percent of all proceeds from the evening back to Northland Catholic Schools. In addition, when the new Northland Wendy’s on North Oak Trafficway held its grand opening, the business designated the schools’ cause as the charity to receive $256 at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The $256 represents how many ways there are to customize a Wendy’s hamburger. In total, Northland Catholic Schools sent $1,185 to the Catholic schools in Joplin, where officials anticipate using the funds to purchase new equipment for items that did not get replaced after the tornado.
