Vokolek has been with North Kansas City Schools since August 2006, first as a social studies teacher at Oak Park and later as a social studies teacher at Staley High School. He is currently the chair of the social studies department at Staley, where he serves additionally as a member of the Building Leadership Team and has gained administrative experience as a summer school principal.

175 attendance days for NKCS students The 2012-2013 academic year for North Kansas City Schools will begin Tuesday, Aug. 21, and end with a half day Friday, May 24. The district’s Board of Education recently approved the upcoming school year’s calendar, according to a press release. The calendar includes the addition of six inclement weather “snow” days, which, if taken, would be made up following the end of the school year May 28 to June 4. The 2012-2013 calendar has 175 student attendance days and 186 teacher contract days — adding one more student attendance day and one more building-based workshop/teacher workday than in the current calendar year. Much of the decision-making around the calendar came from collaboration among a broadly representational committee of parents, teachers, principals, support staff, administrators and members of the Collaborative Team for

Teacher Negotiations. The committee initially structured a calendar based on state law, regulatory agency guidelines, and the goals of the Board of Education and the superintendent. Once basic parameters were drawn, the committee drew up an issues list and invited opinions through a survey process from those inside and outside the district. The calendar draft that resulted was then reviewed by CTTN, by all teaching staff, and finally returned to the calendar committee for final assessment prior to being presented to the board Feb. 13. The new calendar maintains the Jan. 2 teacher workday prior to the start of second semester. It also preserves the five-day spring break and the three-day Thanksgiving holiday that parents, patrons and staff preferred, and satisfies their preference to end the school year prior to Memorial Day.

County invests in tourism marketing Clay County partners with Kansas City Convention and Visitors Association By Nancy Hull Rigdon Commercials promoting Smithville Lake and the Jesse James Farm and Museum are heading to a television near you. During a Feb. 21 Clay Cou nt y Commission meeting, commissioners approved the county’s participation as a tourism partner with the Kansas City Convention

and Visitors Association. The partnership comes at a $35,000 cost to the county. In turn, the association will promote the county’s attractions as part of its 2012 leisure marketing program. Alan Carr, the association’s vice president of marketing and communications, spoke of the benefits of the partnership prior to the commission’s unanimous approval of

the proposal. “People somet imes think about tourism as this fluffy and fun thing,” Carr said. In reality, it is anything but, Carr said. “Tourism is one of the most important economic development tools in a community,” he said. “You are bringing someone outside of the community into the community. Those are dollars

that otherwise would not have been there.” As part of the program, the association will promote Clay County as well as its several other partners during the campaign, which will begin in April. The campaign will focus on television commercials in the Kansas City area. Clay County attractions set to be featured in the spots include Smithville

Lake and the Jesse James Farm and Museum in Kearney. Aside from local commercials, the campaign includes various marketing aspects in Missouri as well as Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Oklahoma and Illinois.

Wolfe had to earn 1,500 NFL points to reach Premier Distinction and is only the second student in Winnetonka history to have attained this level with the National Forensic League. Wolfe is currently a member of the Winnetonka High School mock trial team that has qualified for a second consecutive year for state competition.

Missouri News in Brief

Senate OKs no-call bill Pesky sales calls may soon be a thing of the past for Missouri cell phone users. On Thursday, Feb. 23, the state Senate passed a bill that would allow mobile phone numbers to be added to the state no-call registry. Currently, Missouri only allows landline’s to be placed on the registry, which is a list of numbers that telemarketers are not allowed to phone. The same bill would also place no-call restrictions on automated “robo-calls,” such as political candidates employ during their campaigns. The bill now heads to the state House of Representatives, which has already approved its own version of the legislation. — Missouri News Horizon

Disabled youth invited to leadership forum The Missouri Youth Leadership Forum is accepting applications for its 10th annual statewide event.

The deadline to apply is Wednesday, April 18. To nominate a student, complete the application online, fax it to 573-526-4109 or mail it to Missouri Governor’s Council on Disability, P.O. Box 1668, Jefferson City, MO 65102. For more information, call 800-877-8249.

Safe Haven laws protect newborns Every state has some form of the Safe Haven for Newborns Law. These laws allow parents to safely relinquish their newborn into the hands of a trained employee instead of resorting to abandonment or abuse. In Missouri hospitals, fire stations, police stations and ambulance stations are Safe Havens. The child must be 5 days old or younger and show no signs of abuse. In Kansas, hospitals, fire stations, and city or county health departments are Safe

Havens. The child must be 45 days old or younger and show no signs of abuse. If the state laws are followed, the parent will not be prosecuted. United Way Call Center staff at 211 are prepared to answer

The Texas Auto Writers Association, one of the largest associations of auto writers in the nation, named the 2012 Ford F-150 as the Truck of Texas, according to a press release. The nearly meter-high trophy traveled from the Longhorn State to the Ford Assembly Plant in Claycomo, where the awardwinning truck is built. F-150 Lean Manufacturing Manager Will Cowell praised the work ethic of his colleagues on receiving the accomplishment. “In 2011, Kansas City built the best quality truck (F-150) in North America. That’s possible because of the men and women at the plant. A big thanks to all the employees of the Kansas City plant,” Cowell said. Cowell also explained why Texas and the F-150 work so well together. “We’re like matched pairs and matched part-

4 Area Dentists Serve Families In Need in the Northland

February 18, 2012 With over 190 families served, it’s done as a duty to help. Helping the families and the future of our community with dental care is something that has become near and dear to Dr. Robert G. Marx. Everyone knows it is important to take care of their teeth, but it is especially important in childhood. When life makes getting treatment difficult, the need doesn’t stop. That is why Dr. Marx began this event some 24 years ago. Since that first year in 1989, the office has seen well over 2,300 children on Have A Heart Day. Today, the need has never been greater. More and more families need help. It is the goal of the office that other dentists will join in the future, so that maybe someday, 2,000 children could be seen each year. Northland Dentist’s Robert G Marx and Douglas Arjes were joined by Jared Gerhardt of Gerhardt Dental in Parkville and Dr. Erin Bromley of Erin Neill Bromley D.D.S. in Lee’s Summit to offer the 24th Annual Have A Heart Day to the children from the KC Metro area on Saturday the 18th of February. Dr. Marx’s first year for Have A Heart Day was in 1989 when he began with a vision of helping children in need and has fostered the growth of the day each year since. Dr. Gerhardt & Dr. Bromley joined Dr. Marx this year to help meet the demand that these economic times have created. This is a special day providing free cleanings, x-rays and exams for children who have been unable to receive dental care through no fault of their own. There was lots of fun entertainment provided for the children with KC Wolf of the Kansas City Chiefs, Pinky Lee the Clown and goody bags for all! Dr. Marx explains, “I love my community and my city. I have lived here my whole life. I like looking into the future and in many ways I feel kids are it!” Dr. Marx added, “I am very grateful to Dr. Gerhardt and his staff and Dr. Bromley and her staff for stepping up another notch and joining with us to provide this greatly needed service at their offices. I know it was an exciting day for them too and we look forward to a great future in Kansas City with this event.” Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Dental Supplies for the day were provided by Goetze Dental and each child received a backpack provided by AT&T filled with, toothpaste, a toothbrush provided by Butler and various other wonderful gift certificates &/ or items provided by the following merchants; Gladstone Bowl, Kansas City Chiefs, McDonalds/

Wagy Management, HyVee on Englewood and Sam’s Club on North Oak. The parents each got a carnation provided by Gladstone Flowers for doing their part in bringing in their children. Rich Corona provided printing of fliers that were distributed throughout the Northland. NBC Action News came out to do an interview with parents for the evening news. The North Kansas City, Liberty and Park Hill School Districts all participated once again and many of the local pre-schools and community programs were contacted as well. Contributions total tens of thousands of dollars each year in goods, promotion and services provided by Dr. Marx and supportive businesses and organizations for the event. “It’s not about the money, it’s about one’s personal duty to help and that’s what makes it special. The response is always incredible and the joy of that one day is priceless,” says Dr. Marx. He adds, “I can’t cure cancer or make the world a safer place, but I can fix children’s teeth. I like doing that a lot. The children we see are all great kids and they deserve our support and I’m glad I can help out.” Dr. Marx explains, “I think dentistry is very important to our overall health & happiness. Each experience at a dental office can affect one’s whole view on dentistry over a lifetime. We started this program so we can have an impact on our kids and ultimately our city.” When asked what Have A Heart Day means to him, he replied “You hear a lot of discussion sometimes from people wanting to do something and we actually do something to make an impact to change lives.” Dr. Marx adds “It takes a real effort to go from just an idea and bring it into action and I am grateful for the many volunteers and organizations who give us direct support year after year in making this happen.” February is designated as the National Children’s Dental Health Month. Have A Heart Day was named because it connected with the Valentine’s Day theme and Dental Health month. Dr. Marx and his staff are continually involved in many community programs including speaking with children about dental care. As a Dentist for over 30 years at the same location right here in Gladstone, Dr. Marx has grown his practice to include a staff of 25 and expanded several times over the years. “The more we grow, the more responsibility we have to help our community,” says Dr. Marx.

“The families are always so appreciative, and the kids are always terrific! The sense of satisfaction I get is difficult to express. But it is wonderful! It is very fulfilling. My staff looks forward to Have A Heart Day every year. We have as much fun as the children,” says Dr. Marx. This year we were able to help several families that have lost their jobs due to the economy therefore losing their insurance as well. These parents want only the best for their children but unfortunately something has to slide. These parents all showed much gratitude for this service as they were able to get their children the dental care they needed. A mother of a 12 year old child that had never been to the dentist was so grateful after her son’s visit, she stated that this took one worry off her mind; she doesn’t have to worry about her son’s dental health. A mother of 2 was very grateful that her daughters were seen, her comment was “It’s not that my children’s teeth are not a priority but I need to feed them first”. The slow economic times have affected her budget and unfortunately dental care had to be put on hold. These are just a few of the stories that were told on Saturday. The comment we heard over and over again was that parents could not get their children into the dental clinics in the area that offered free care. There were 15-20 children that were seen that had dire immediate dental problems that Dr. Marx will bring back for the much-needed treatment in the coming days and weeks. Dr. Marx has also enlisted the help of his fellow dental professionals that will be helping some of the children as well. Dr. Marx continues, “That is why I want other dentists to join with us in meeting this challenge. We already receive an extraordinary level of cooperation and assistance but the level of need keeps rising. Our volunteers and donors make all the difference. We are truly fortunate to have so many friends, but we need more health-care providers to join with us.”
