Community center financially sound after 5 years Revenue, memberships grow By Nancy Hull Rigdon As the Gladstone Community Center turns 5 years old, the city is celebrating the facility’s success. A report the city’s parks and recreation staff prepared for the Gladstone Board of Aldermen showed the community center’s annual profit has grown each year since opening in February 2008. “The community center has become a place to work out, swim, play and celebrate,” the report said. “It is a very positive addi-

tion to the Gladstone landscape, and as the new and exciting features of Linden Square are completed, it will be the anchor on the east side of the downtown development.” For fiscal year 2012, the center posted a profit of more than $75,000 on a budget of more than $3 million. Sheila Lillis, the city’s parks and recreation director, attributes the positive finances in large part to staff’s hard work and commitment to customer service. center/Page A6

ment rate stayed the same, even though the hirings went up, because the state’s total civilian labor force also increased. Gov. Jay Nixon, who was in Detroit, Mich., on Jan. 16 for the North American International Show, said he believed expansions in the state’s manufacturing industry — including the auto industry — had left Missouri well placed as the nation strives to recover from the 2008 recession. “Our balanced budgets, trained workforce and pro-growth policies make Missouri one of the best places in the nation to invest and create jobs,� Nixon said. “I am committed to building on this solid record of growth and ensuring Missouri’s auto industry continues to prosper and create jobs for years to come.� Nixon made his support of tax credits for the auto industry a key pillar of his re-election campaign. During his first term, he visited Detroit three times, and supported legislation that incentivized Ford Motor Co. and General Motors to keep plants open in Claycomo and St. Louis. — Eli Yokley and Dick Aldrich for Missouri News Horizon

Free dental care for kids Feb. 2 Dr. Robert G. Marx and two other dentists have volunteered to provide free cleanings and full dental exams for children Saturday, Feb. 2, to kick off National Dental Health month. Have a Heart Day will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. at Marx’s office, 5708 N. Broadway in Gladstone. Those needing dental treatment such as fillings will be scheduled for follow-up appointments. In addition to the dental staff, Pinky Lee the Clown will be making custom balloon creations for each child, and KC Wolf from the Kansas City Chiefs will be on site. Marx began Have a Heart Day one Saturday in February 25 years ago for the children of the community who need-

ed but were unable to receive regular dental care. Since then, the need for pediatric dental care has increased exponentially, according to a press release. “Those who are fortunate enough to be in positions to help need to do all they can to ease this burden, since it is the children who will suffer,� Marx said. He calls this day of service Have a Heart Day to make a connection between National Children’s Dental Health Month and Valentine’s Day. Since beginning Have a Heart Day in 1989, Marx has treated more than 2,400 children, and countless cavities have been filled. For more information, call 452-2000.

Missouri to offer tax refunds via debit cards

The Clay County African American Legacy will co-host an Emancipation Proclamation round table discussion along with several local community groups at 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, at Garrison School Cultural Center, 502 N. Water St. in Liberty, according to a press release. In addition to the CCAAL, other groups participating include the Clay County Archives, Clay County Museum and Historical Society, Clay County Historical Millennium Board, and The Black History Organization of Kansas City. The program is free and open to the public. Dr. Tony Holland, Kansas City historian and CCAAL board member, will lead the round table discussion. T he E ma nc ipat ion Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln in January 1863. The proclamation was an executive military order based on Lincoln’s power as commander in chief of the Army and Navy “in time of actual armed rebellion� and “as a fit and necessary war measure for suppressing the rebellion.�

Missouri taxpayers have a new option to choose when getting a tax refund from the state. Taxpayers are now able to get a refund in the form of a debit card whether their return is filed on paper or electronically, according to a press release from State Treasurer Clint Zweifel. The new refund option is for those who file individual income tax returns or Property Tax Credit claims. According to Zweifel, this is the first year the Department of Revenue has offered the refund debit card. To receive the card, taxpayers will need to check the “debit card� box on the refund line of their 2012 income tax return or PTC claim. After the card is received in the mail, the recipient must activate it by phone or online, and a personal information number must be created. Benefits of the debit card include no check-cashing fees, no bank account is required and access to the funds is available 24 hours a day. Taxpayers can use the refund card for free for purchases and Sentencing for former to get cash back with a Clay County auditor Wilpurchase anywhere Visa State Sen.

Missouri jobless rate holds steady A new report says Missouri’s unemployment rate was unchanged last month, while the state had a net gain of more than 10,000 jobs. The figures from the Missour i Depar tment of Economic Development show the state’s jobless rate stood at 6.7 percent in December, the same as November. The biggest non-farm employment gain came in the manufacturing sector. Construction and hospitality and leisure also saw increases, but professional business services jobs declined.

Silvey represents the 17th District in the Missouri Senate. “To have the chance to bring my knowledge and experience to the Senate and its respective committees is an honor,� Silvey said in a press release. “To sit with my colleagues on these committees to hear testimony on bills and offer suggestions or alternatives is one reason I am in this position, to serve the best interests of Clay County and all of Missouri.� Silvey now sits on five committees: Appropriations; General Laws; Governmental Accountability and Fiscal Oversight; Progress and Development; and Veterans’ Affairs and Health. “I am excited to begin this work,� Silvey said. “The single job mandated to members of the General Assembly is to create the state’s budget. My time in the House has left me with an enthusiasm for the conscientious development of Missouri’s operating budget. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I will apply my fiduciary knowledge when considering our state’s next fiscal budget.� He said the topics covered in the other committees would be just as important and need as much attention from legislators. “My colleagues and I have the responsibility of improving governmental efficiency, changing or upholding human welfare issues, and considering veterans’ issues and affairs, among other matters,� Silvey said. “This is the work I was elected to accomplish, and I will perform my utmost duties to the 17th District and to Missouri.�

Court selects charter commissioners By Ryne Dittmer

during last November’s general election. “We first put out a published notice that the proposition had passed inviting people to fill out an application if they were interested in serving,” Clay County Circuit Court Judge Larry Harman said. “The application asked them to tell us what they thought their qualities might be to assist them in drafting a constitution, and it also had them tell us which political party they intended to represent.” State law requires charter commissions to be split evenly between the two parties that received the most votes in the last general election. In all, 54 individuals submitted their names during the application process that concluded in December. “The applications were

Clay County’s fourth attempt at approving a new county constitution took another step forward Jan. 11 as the county’s circuit court judges appointed members to the Clay County Constitutional Charter Commission. Commission members include Democrats Mark C. Ellebracht, Don Hanks, Gene V. Knisley, Donald T. Norris, David A. Ramsa, Robert J. Saunders and Carol J. Suter; and Republicans Richard Martin Bouhan, Tamera D. Evans, William D. Farra, Kim B. Murphy, John Parry, Craig Porter and Benjamin Wierzbicki. Voters approved the commission’s creation with the passage of Proposition A

then distributed among the circuit judges to look through,” Harman said. Final appointments were made by the circuit court during an open meeting on Jan. 11. “All of the applicants divided by their party affiliation, and we each voted for seven names on each column. Any person that received three or four votes would be considered selected to the commission,” Harman said. The judges continued the voting process until seven candidates had been selected from both the Democratic and Republican parties. Harman said the selection process focused on the variety of skills and qualifications applicants possessed. “Different people put different things on their applications as far as qualities. Some had different man-

agement skills, some had writing skills,” Harman said. “We did look at geographic diversity as well. We didn’t want all 14 people to be from Gladstone or from Liberty.” Together, the appointed 14 commissioners represent seven Clay County cities. Three members have also served on previous charter commissions. “We also looked at length of residency in the county because we thought that might be of some benefit,” Harman said. “We certainly hope we picked 14 wonderful people and 14 people that would thoughtfully put together a document for the citizens to consider.” The commission is now charged with drafting a new county constitution to be placed before voters for final approval within the next year.

Burglaries, thefts plague rural Clay County By Angie Anaya Borgedalen

ders in late 2012, involving a man who shot his wife and a 14-year-old boy and then himself. Murder was the only major crime that declined from three in 2011. Robberies remained static at two for each of 2011 and 2012. Aggravated assaults remained at 18 for last year and the year before. According to Hunter, aggravated assault is when medical attention is required. Simple assaults jumped from 58 in 2011 to 71 in 2012. “Basically, it’s the economy,” Hunter said. “People get frustrated and take it out on each other.” Burglaries continue to plague the rural area, with 97 house break-ins reported in 2012, compared to 94 in 2011. “We’ve identified four or five active burglary rings,” Hunter said. “We also have some people who get out of prison and hit us again.” Hunter said one woman was burglarized four times. After deputies installed a surveillance camera, they caught the culprit red-handed. “It was her neighbor,” Hunter said. “He was taking a little bit at a time, and he didn’t think she would miss the stuff.” Larceny was up from 90

Overall, crime is up about 13 percent in rural Clay County, according to Capt. Matt Hunter of the Clay County Sheriff’s Office. In almost every category, crime was up in 2012 from the year before. According to year-end statistics compiled by the department, rape reports increased from three in 2011 to seven in 2012. Hunter attributed the rise to more people being inclined to report the crime. Most of the sexual assaults involved a perpetrator known to the victim. “We don’t have a serial rapist running around,” Hunter said. In addition to the unincorporated area of the county, Hunter said the sheriff’s department provides law enforcement services for some of small towns such as Glenaire, Missouri City, Avondale and the Oak Villages. Since the sheriff’s department has jurisdiction over the entire county, the deputies also assist city police if help is requested. While murder is generally rare in the rural area, the county did have two mur-

in 2011 to 106 in 2012, and motor vehicle thefts increased from 25 to 27. Arsons doubled from three in 2011 to six last year. He said some fires are set to cover up another crime. And he also said some criminals will go ahead and steal a car when they are burglarizing a house. Hunter said many times thefts were connected to drugs, with thieves looking for items they could sell or trade for drugs. Popular items to take include firearms, electronics, jewelry and prescription medications. Hunter said owners should keep the serial numbers of their electronics in a safe place so that if they are recovered, the stolen items can be returned. Hunter said the sheriff’s office was developing a program to have deputies respond to residences in

rural Clay County and work with other departments on crime prevention programs. He said the department also wants to focus more attention on career criminals. Hunter said calls for service has increased significantly from just over 22,000 in 2007 to more than 62,000 in 2012. Unincorporated Clay County has a population of about 14,000, he said. “We desperately need more road patrol deputies,” Hunter said. Sheriff Paul Vescovo, who just began his term after being elected in November, said he planned to ask the County Commission for funds to hire an additional six deputies. He said he also planned to add a crime analyst. Hunter said residents can call 407-3700 to report a crime, or call 911 if the witness a crime is in progress.

School Notes Northland Elks Lodge 2376 is forwarding five local scholarship packets for the state judging. At the district review earlier this month, scholarship applications from eight Elks lodges in the Kansas City area were considered. In addition to academics, student involvement in community service, honors and awards, work experience and written language skills were judged. After the district review, the following Northland high school senior scholarship applications advanced to next level of competition: • Tram Phong, North Kansas City High School; • Emily Lorei, Liberty High School; • Maryssa Loehr, Oak Park High School; • Garrett Thomas, Oak Park High School; • Tyler Scott, Staley High School. The Northland Lodge awards $8,000 in scholarship assistance. With the Elks organization at the state level, additional scholarship funding becomes available. Cornell University’s James-Lee Meredith of Gladstone has been placed on the Dean’s List of the College of Arts and Sciences for Excellence in Scholarship for the fall 2012 semester. The College of Arts and Sciences is Cornell University’s largest undergraduate college. It provides a liberal arts education to its own students, and its courses are also accessible to all other students at Cornell.

center: Facility reflects partnership between city, school district “From the youngest child in our child care to meeting the senior citizens’ needs, we try to make sure we have a full-scope, well-rounded program to meet the needs of our well-rounded community. And if we see that something is not working, we make changes,” Lillis said, adding that the center recently moved its opening time from 5:30 a.m. to 5 a.m. to meet customer demand. “The key is recognizing the needs of everyone who walks through that door.” The center reflects a partnership between North Kansas City Schools and the city. Under the agreement, the school district financially assists the facility in exchange for use of the natatorium for high school swimming and other activities. Outside of high school swimming, major events at the center include USA Swimming meets, Kansas City Corporate Challenge, a children’s triathlon and the annual daddy-daughter dance. The center’s services

increased in every area for the most recent budget year, the report said. The number of memberships as well as attendance numbers increased. Revenue is up in all areas — fitness classes, swimming lessons, banquets, day passes and other areas. The center has raised user fees every two years. The facility hasn’t been immune to tough economic times, though. “The center has seen cancellations due to job loss,” the report said. Two new fitness centers — Active Fitness and Aspen Fitness — have opened in the center’s market, but city staff doesn’t foresee those businesses affecting the community center, the report said. “We look forward to seeing how the positive numbers for FY 2013 come about,” the report said. City pool rates could increase The city’s outdoor, municipal pool also posted a profit for the year, as it has in past years, the report said. Pool membership numbers were slight-

Humidify Your Home!

Don’t Dry Out This Winter It happens every winter. As soon as it starts getting cold outside, you start drying out. Your skin gets itchy and red, or even cracks. Everytouch thing you seems to give you a static electricity shock, and you

start to notice gaps around your doors, windows and trim. It all has to do with the low humidity in your home.

Climate Control Heating & Cooling offers different styles of wholehome humidifiers that attach to your existing furnace, including state-of-the-art models from Trane and Honeywell. Call 479-2787 today for more information and a free home analysis.

Two factors combine to make the air in your home bone dry during the winter. c The cold air outside can’t hold as much humidity as warm summer air, so the atmo atmosphere in general is drier d during the winter. Add the hot, dry air we blast from our furnaces to keep warm, and we pull nearly all the moisture from the air in our homes. Dry air sucks the moist ture from your body, le leaving you with dry hair an skin, chapped lips, dry and sinu sinuses and sometimes even bloo bloody noses. More serious heal complications may health resul as well. result c A common sign that your air is too dry is when your nose, throat and skin feel dry a and scratchy. Insufficient moist moisture in the air makes the muco membranes inside mucous your nose and throat — your body’ first barrier against body’s airbo airborne infections — dry and more susceptible to diseases c like cold and flu. Dry air is d also dangerous for allergy and asthm sufferers, since it can asthma aggra aggravate their symptoms. Child Children are especially susceptib to the impact of dry ceptible air. D air also makes it harder Dry to get over an illness, as it can exacerbate a cough and slow the healing of already irritated sinuses and sore throat.

It’s not only your body that suffers. Low humidity can cause wood in your home to shrink and create other problems, causing gaps in trim and doors, loose floor boards and more. It also may contribute to cracks in plaster or ventually pests may drywall. Eventually be able to enter the house through these points and cause even more destruction. Wallpaper may peel at its edges, erly and an overly dry house can even be a fire hazard. There aree plenty of y temporary ry fixes for dry em such skin problem rizers and as moisturizers th d ’t lotions, butt they don’t help the underlying cause of why your skin dries out, and they don’t help fix the more serious health concerns. There is a solution that can help fix the environment in your entire home and help keep you more healthy and

comfortable during the long winter months. A whole-home humidifier can be installed on your regular heating and cooling system to ensure that your home stays comfortable year round. Climate Control Heating & Cooling offers three different types of humidifiers that work in unique ways: bypass humidifiers, powered humidifiers and steam humidifiers. Climate Control’s highly h trained, professional pro staff can sta evaluate e your needs and recommend the right type of system for your home, your family and your budget. A properly humidified home can save you money. Moist air feels Mois warmer than warm air at the dry a same temperature, and m moist air retains heat better. bette This means that h you may be able to set your thermostat a few degrees cooler without affecting your comfort. Call Climate Control today at 816-479-2787 and ask for a free consultation. Find out if your home might benefit from a whole-house humidifier.

Expansion at North Kansas City Hospital in works since fall 2009 North Kansas City Hospital’s new, 42-bed emergency room will open Thursday, Jan. 31. To celebrate, the hospital will host an open house for the public from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 27. The event will include a ribbon-cutting ceremony, tours and a free health fair. The expansion enhances the hospital’s existing Level II trauma center services, according to a press release. The $18 million project, including stateof-the-art improvements and upgrades, makes

North Kansas City Hospital the first area Missouri hospital with a CT scanner in the ER dedicated for emergency care. With more than 10,000 square feet of additional space, the ER now encompasses 30,000 square feet, increasing capacity from 65,000 to 80,000 emergency visits a year. The new design allows more space and privacy in each of the 42 rooms, including three trauma rooms. Administration, physicians and department staff began planning the new expansion in Sep-

tember 2009. The core staff area utilizes an open design to improve communication among caregiver disciplines. The universal bedding system allows patients to be assigned to any of the 42 rooms with centrally located areas to store equipment. Dedicated spaces for emergency physicians, admitting and consulting physicians, nurses, case managers and support staff help minimize foot traffic and keep care moving efficiently. The enhanced triage area allows quick and effi-

cient identification and treatment of patients. I mprove d s e c u r it y includes an office for security personnel near checkin and increased camera surveillance throughout the interior and exterior. Parking spaces and ambulance bays have clearly separate locations so that ambulance patients and walk-in patients enter through different doors. For more information, contact North Kansas City Hospital at 2800 Clay Edwards Drive in North Kansas City, www. nkch.org or 691-2000.
