Northland Democrats to meet Oct. 15 The Northland Democratic Club will discuss the questions and issues that will be on the Nov. 6 ballots of Clay and Platte counties at its meeting Monday, Oct. 15. The meeting will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at North Kansas City Public Library, 2251 Howell St. in North Kansas City. Club leaders will explain the ballot questions, such as why St. Louis and Kansas City are the only cities in the United States whose police departments are controlled by the governor and not the cities, and why and how the tobacco tax is on the ballots of Clay and Platte counties.

Free Medicare advice at county health center An important time for Missourians on Medicare is coming up, and for local residents, free, in-person counseling can help them make the best choices for their health and budgets, according to a press release. Medicare’s annual open-enrollment period for prescription drug plans (called Medicare Part D) and Medicare Advantage plans begins Monday, Oct. 15 and ends Friday, Dec. 7. During this time, people on Medicare can add or make changes to existing prescription-drug and some privately owned health insurance plans under Medicare. Volunteers with Missouri CLAIM, a government-sponsored Medicare counseling service, will offer free expert help from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6, at the Clay County Public Health Center, 800 Haines Drive in Liberty. There are a limited number of spots for this event, so reservations are encouraged. Spaces can be reserved by calling CLAIM at 1-800-390-3330. Health insurance for Medicare beneficiaries is not a one-size-fits-all situation. That’s why it’s important for people on Medicare to research and compare their plans with others during the open-enrollment period, said Carol Beahan, director of CLAIM. State officials encourage all Missourians on Medicare to review their insurance options annually.

Prescription Take Back Day success Thanks to the partnership of several Northland agencies, there are 488 pounds of unused prescription and over-the-counter drugs that will be kept out of the local water supply and the reach of potential abusers. Since 2009, the Northland Coalition, with the support of Tri-County Mental Health Services, has partnered with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Missouri’s Association of Community Task Forces, law enforcement agencies and other communities across the country to encourage the responsible disposal of prescriptions and keep them out of the hands of young people and adults who would abuse them. While the coalition has assisted in establishing several permanent drop-off sites at law enforcement locations throughout the Northland, Sept. 29 was designated as National Take Back Prescription Day, and a special emphasis was placed on reaching the community about this national concern. Number of pounds of unused prescriptions collected at some locations: • Gladstone Police Department, 67 pounds; • Kansas City Police Department-North Patrol lobby, 159 pounds; • Kansas City Police Department-Shoal Creek Patrol lobby, 72 pounds; For further information about the Take Back program or prescription drug abuse, visit www.northlandcoalition.com.

County adopts new building codes New codes, Green Build incentives set by Planning and Zoning Department

By Ryne Dittmer Clay County has become the first county in the metropolitan area to adopt 2012 building codes. The codes, based off those set by International Code Council, were approved by the Planning and Zoning Department and will go into effect Jan. 1, 2013. “About every six years, local governments like to update our building codes set by the International Code Council,” Matt Tapp, Planning and Zoning Department director, said.

Four deputies fired Terminations follow investigation into harassment claims by former deputy By Ryne Dittmer

“These building codes are geared for unincorporated Clay County.” According to Tapp, the most notable changes in the 2012 codes come in the energy-efficiency and conservation areas. “The ICC rightfully wanted to ramp up the standard on minimum energy-efficiency measures in a single-family house. It needs to be done,” Tapp said. Much like the rest of the newly adopted codes, the department amended the green standards to fit the county. “We took a middle of

the road approach with these changes,” Mark Manville, a Clay County building official said. “There’s a balancing act. One of the things our board looked at was what was reasonable to improve the energy efficiency of the home and still give a return to the end user.” Clay County follows Kansas City and Overland Park, Kan., as the third jurisdiction in the area to fully adopt the 2012 codes. The county had previously been operating under codes set in 2003. “We want to make an

effort on the leading push,” Tapp said. “Hopefully others will start to pick up with us.” The county’s 2012 codes are similar to those set by Overland Park, which served as a model for the department. “We took what Overland Park did and formatted it for Clay County,” Tapp said. “They really blazed the trail.” Prior to adoption, the codes had been discussed at three public hearings held by the county’s building commission. “With those three meet-

Your Letters Vote “no” on Amendment 3 Missouri’s Nonpartisan Court Plan is a model for the nation with more than 30 states adopting the same or a similar court plan. There are no good reasons to dismantle this successful, impartial and widely copied judicial selection process. The proposed changes will give governors more power in the judicial selection process, bringing partisan politics back into a system that now is fair and impartial. The League of Women Voters has supported the Nonpartisan Court Plan from its inception; there is no need for change. Before 1940, when the Nonpartisan Court Plan became law, Missourians elected judges. Tired of corruption and the influence of the political machine in Kansas City and the political bosses in St. Louis, Missouri voters, by initiative petition, amended the constitution to allow the governor to appoint judges from a list developed by a nonpartisan judicial selection commission. This system works — in more than 70 years, voters have retained all but two judges. If we want to be assured that politics will not enter the judicial selection process, vote “no” on Amendment 3. You will be in good company: the Missouri Bar Association, present and former Missouri Supreme Court judges and many other civic organizations warn against tinkering with the Nonpartisan Court Plan. The League of Women Voters urges voters to keep just and impartial courts by voting no on Constitutional Amendment 3. Let’s not turn back the clock. Peg Prendergast, president, League of Women Voters Kansas City/Jackson/ Clay/Platte counties
