Gladstone to improve animal shelter Dropping Commerce Triangle purchase adds funding for project

By Nancy Hull Rigdon The city of Gladstone plans to spend about $400,000 to renovate and expand its animal shelter in an effort to increase adoption rates and decrease euthanasia rates. “This shelter should encourage pride and participation among the community,” Terry Tevis of Tevis Architects told the Gladstone City Council during an Oct. 22 meeting. “When you have an attractive facility like this, it makes it more viable than one people do not want to visit.” During the meeting, city staff and Tevis presented a proposal to renovate and expand the city’s animal shelter at 3970 NE 76th St.

The council is expected to approve a $395,000 contract with Bruner Construction at its Monday, Nov. 12, meeting. The city began looking at improving the animal shelter two years ago by hiring Tevis’ firm to provide a facility assessment, operational review and facility master plan. At that time, bids for the project were higher than the current bid from Bruner, and the city did not have as much funding available for the project as it now does. The city recently upped the funding available for the project by $100,000, making the $395,000 contract feasible. This funding boost

feature on the vacant lot. However, the city and the property owner could not reach an agreement on the purchase price. Improvements to the shelter will include: • 239-square-feet addition to the 1,700-square-feet facility; • offices; • exam room; • kitchen and laundry CONTRIBUTED ART area; • handicap-accessible This artist’s rendering depicts how the Gladstone animal shelter would look after about $400,000 in proposed renovations. restroom area; • renovated lobby and comes from the city’s deci- Commerce Bank at Antioch reception area; • meet-and-greet adoption sion to quit holding funding Road and 64th Street as well for the possibility of purchas- as the vacant lot south of area; • two isolation rooms, one ing the Commerce Triangle the bank.

Michael Hasty, the city’s director of public safety, referred to the project as “exciting news.” “The shelter is over 30 years old,” Hasty said. “The existing facility just is not adequate for the demands being placed on it now.”

Great day for a good cause Tri-County Director of Assessment and Youth CPRP Services Jamie Wehmeyer, left foreground, cheers for walkers and other runners. Family, friends and a few serious athletes turned out Oct. 20 for the first Heart and Sole 5K run/walk at Happy Rock Park. This event raised more than $2,000 to support the children’s services and wellness programs at Tri-County Mental Health Services, including the holiday assistance program for the children and families.

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 natural gas company must pay to its suppliers for natural gas — is not regulated by the Missouri Public Service Commission. The wellhead cost of natural gas is unregulated and is primarily driven by supply, demand and the weather. The Missouri Public Service Commission does conduct an annual regulatory review to ensure that regulated natural gas companies make prudent decisions in securing natural gas supplies for their customers.

MGE customer Conviction rates up 7 cents made in 2011 To reflect estimated hotel murders changes in the wholesale cost of natural gas as well as a change in the company’s actual cost adjustment factor, Missouri Gas Energy customers will see natural gas rates change under a filing that took effect on Nov. 1. MGE residential customers were paying approximately 53 cents per hundred cubic feet of natural gas. Under this filing, the rate increases to approximately 60 cents per Ccf. The PSC continues to encourage customers to work to reduce their energy consumption.

Isaac Perdomo-Paz was convicted in the Feb. 26, 2011, shooting deaths of Dejan Joksimovic, 18, Armin Hamidovic, 18, and Delfino Elizondo, 22, at a motel south of Worlds of Fun. Perdomo-Paz was convicted of first-degree murder in the deaths of Joksimovic and Hamidovic, and second-degree murder in Elizondo’s death. Perdomo-Paz was also convicted of three counts of armed criminal action. The two first-degree mur-

der convictions each carry a sentence of life without parole. The second-degree conviction carries a maximum term of 30 years in prison. The armed criminal action convictions each carry a minimum of three years and have no cap. Clay County Circuit Court Judge A.

County pursues Holiday work force program initiative helps seniors If approved to become a Work Ready Community, Clay County could soon be utilizing a new tool from ACT to help local workers identify and improve their job- related skill sets. Living in a certified Work Ready Community would give county residents access to an online assessment created by ACT to measure their skills in the areas of applied mathematics, locating information and reading for information. ACT selected the three areas of focus, labeled WorkKeys, through an analysis of 19,000 jobs. The WorkKeys are scored on seven levels of achievement to determine a worker’s overall ability to perform well in job settings. The assessment provides additional feedback to test takers on ways to improve their scores in each category. As part of the county’s proposal to join the program, the County Commission signed off on a letter of commitment to the Missouri Work Ready Communities Committee during its Oct. 29 meeting. If approved, the Clay County Economic Development Council expects to launch the assessment in the next few months. Missouri is one of seven states offering the Work Ready Community initiative to its counties. — Ryne Dittmer

Internal investigation ongoing into sexual harassment claims at Clay County sheriff’s office By Ryne Dittmer Clay County Sheriff’s Office personnel are receiving additional sexual harassment training while the department continues to investigate allegations made by a former female deputy that resulted in the firing of four male deputies in September and early October. “We have brought in outof-state trainers to give an additional training course on sexual harassment for all our employees,” Sheriff Bob Boydston said. The accusations filed by Merri Phillips through the Missouri Human Rights Commission detailed verbal harassment, and inappropriate text messages and photos. An internal investigation by the sheriff’s office confirmed these allegations after the department received the Phillips’ complaint Sept. 21. “Within 48 hours of receiving our first notice of these allegations, we began an internal investigation that consisted of interviews with the named parties and witnesses in the allegations,” Boydston said.

Since then, members of the department have participated in an online training course that Boydston hopes will prevent similar situations from occurring in the future. “We’re going to finish our investigation and ensure and remind all employees we have a very strict and very simple sexual harassment policy,” Boydston said. “There is no reason why any employee would have any question at all about the consequences of not following our policies and procedures.” The internal investigation was led by the department’s Administration Division commander, Capt. Steve Wright. Boydston said Wright was selected for the role because of his extensive human resources and internal affairs training. Wright declined to comment on the situation as the investigation was ongoing. “Early on, many of the allegations were confirmed by the individuals being interviewed through their own statements or by polygraph exam,” Boydston said. “We felt at that point Clay County citizens would

not expect the individuals to be in a Clay County tax-payer-paid position, and they certainly did not follow our own policy on behavior in the workplace. At that point I terminated all four.” The four deputies were fired over an 11-day period from Sept. 21 to Oct. 1. Two additional deputies were placed on administrative leave as their involvement in the situation has been investigated. In mid-September sheriff’s department officials said they anticipated a lawsuit to be filed in connection to the accusations. As of Oct. 29, Don Norris, the sheriff’s office legal counsel, said the department had yet to receive any notification of further legal actions from Phillips and her attorney, Dennis Egan, who could not be reached for comment. “They don’t have a rightto-sue letter,” Norris said. A right-to-sue letter allows an individual who has filed claims of discriminatory acts the ability to file suit in court. Acquiring that letter could be the first step toward a lawsuit.

K.C. business owner sentenced for embezzling $750,000 from homeowners associations The owner of a Kansas City business was sentenced in federal court Oct. 25 for embezzling more than $750,000 from dozens of homeowners associations, including Twin Lakes Homes Association in Gladstone. Dale Palmer, 54, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Nanette K. Laughrey to 46 months in federal prison without parole. The court also ordered Palmer to pay $825,937 in restitution to the victim homeowners associations and their insurers. Palmer, who pleaded guilty to mail fraud on Feb. 21, 2012, owned and operated Home Owner Association Services, headquartered in Kansas City. HOAS provided property management services for building and neighborhood homeowner associations and managed operating accounts for homeowner associations. It also performed administrative tasks, such as making deposits, paying expenses and managing reserve accounts. HOAS operated in Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, and Illinois. From July 2009 to March 2011, in order to keep expanding HOAS, and later

to keep HOAS solvent and pay himself a salary for 20 months after his company should have become insolvent, Palmer embezzled money from his clients’ accounts and used it to pay HOAS’ expenses. Palmer closed HOAS’ Kansas City office in March 2011 and absconded with more than $751,302 missing from the accounts of 32 homeowner association clients. Palmer admitted that from July 2009 to March 2011, his business experienced serious cash flow problems. Palmer explained that he was poor at managing money for HOAS and could not resolve his cash flow issues. Instead, he moved funds from the homeowners associations’ accounts to hide that he was paying for HOAS’ expenses. He commingled the funds of each of the homeowner associations, even though he knew it was a crime to do so. Palmer started preparing false statements for all of the homeowner associations in July 2009 and continued to prepare the false statements until HOAS closed in March 2011. Palmer never allowed the homeowner associations

to see their bank statements. By the time HOAS closed, Palmer was aware that he embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from HOAS’ clients. In the months leading up to March 2011, Palmer altered account statements that HOAS provided to the homeowner associations in order to make it appear that HOAS was financially sound, when in reality, it was not. When Palmer’s company collapsed, at least 32 homeowners associations suffered losses. When interviewed by federal agents, Palmer attributed the downfall of HOAS and the fraud to poor management and “stupidity.” Palmer explained that he had a large ego and thought that he could expand his business to five cities. Palmer stated that the funds that he pulled out of the bank accounts were used for HOAS’ expenses or were placed into the accounts of other homeowner associations. This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel M. Nelson. It was investigated by the FBI. — U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Missouri

Community Voices

One-room schools bring back fond memories a child were lucky, though, sometimes a neighbor would offer them a ride in their wagon and shorten the commute time. Jim Baldwin remembered that his family didn’t have “pleasure” horses. They had “multipurpose” horses and had to work, so he walked the three miles each way to Pleasant Grove School, also called “Crackerneck” School. Once at school, Lenna Vance remembered keeping warm by the big, coal stove that had a railing around it so no one would accidently fall against it and get burned, and playing “Fox and Geese” in the school yard. Faye Chrisope remembered Bell School and how good the hot lunches (especially potato soup) were her teacher fixed using different ingredients brought by the students. Other memories included that eighth-graders and first-graders were assigned to the same bench desk so the older students could help the younger ones; getting in trouble for shooting the

teacher with a corn kernel from a sling shot, and a student who repeated eighth grade because she liked the teacher so much and that she eventually married him. The first school district in Clay County was organized in 1854 and encompassed 15 square miles. Prior to that, subscription schools such as Mt. Gilead had been established by private sources. David Hardy shared that by the early 1900s, 43 percent of the one-room school houses in Missouri had fewer than 10 students, and by 1975 were all gone. Pictures of Prathersville and Crescent Lake schools, as well as vintage textbooks used at various one-room schools, were shared by Lance Lamb. A catalog of pictures taken by Dr. R. E. Miller, in 1911, of 57 oneroom school houses in Clay County was also shared. On the back of each picture, Miller noted the condition of the building and how many feet the water supply was from the school. Other schools discussed

Ever ride to school on a horse? That experience was one shared by members of the Clay County Museum and Historical Society Study Group at their recent monthly meeting. The discussion topic was “One Room School Houses in Clay County.” Although hard for us to imagine, using a horse as a means of daily transportation was typical for children attending oneroom school houses in the not too distant past. Many such schools had barns or sheds where the horses were tethered while their young riders attended classes. The horses had hay to eat and water to drink, and sometimes an apple as a treat. While some students rode a horse to school, most walked the two or three miles each way. A recommended guideline was that children should have to walk no more than one hour to reach their school. If
