Are smart lights a bright idea? MARC, cities want to know if residents have noticed new LED street lights By Angie Anaya Borgedalen You will be quizzed on this, so pay attention. As part of the Smart Lights for Smart Cities initiative and with funding from the Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation grant program, Mid-America Regional Council has had installed more than 5,000 high-efficiency, LED street lights in the Kansas City metropolitan area, including 302 in Gladstone. Roger Kroh, energy program manager for MARC, said elsewhere in the Northland, another 266 of the LED fixtures had been installed in Smithville, 191 in Liberty and 73 in Kearney. And now MARC wants residents to take a look around and make comments on what they think of the new lights. “The new lights are white and clear. The older, high-pressure sodium lights are more yellow,” Kroh said. Kroh said the LED lights use half the energy of the old lights and last more than twice as long. He said the LED fixtures are more expensive, but the price has been dropping. “Like most electronics, the price has been coming down,” Kroh said. “It’s

appearing that the savings in energy and fewer maintenance trips may outweigh the cost.” According to Kroh, the LED fixtures used to cost about $600 each, but that has decreased to about $200. The older sodium lights cost about $150 for a 100 watt bulb. The equivalent is a 52-watt LED light, he said. “The old ones needed to be replaced about every four years. The LED fixtures last about 10 to 12 years and they are much brighter,” Kroh said. Residents of Gladstone, North Kansas City, Kearney, Lawson, Liberty Platte City and Smithville are invited to a meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5, at Gladstone City Hall, 7010 N. Holmes St., when MARC representatives will be available to accept comments from residents about the LED lights from five different manufacturers. So far, Kroh said MARC had received about 15 complaints. He said some of the lights were shining into people’s windows and had to be refocused. Chris Helmer, city planner for Gladstone, said he had not received negative feedback from local residents about the light

Residents’ input sought at Feb. 5 In order to gather information from the residents of the participating cities, the Mid-America Regional Council has scheduled a public meeting in Gladstone to ask community members their opinion of the high-efficiency lights installed through the Smart Lights for Smart Cities initiative. The city of Gladstone will host this meeting for Gladstone residents and residents from North Kansas City, Kearney, Lawson, Liberty, Platte City and Smithville at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5, in the Council Chambers of City Hall. The address is 7010 N. Holmes St. Maps showing light locations can be viewed at www.marc.org/Environment/Energy/smartlights.htm. Residents who cannot attend the public meeting may also voice their opinions at www. ma rckc voices.com, an interactive, online “town hall” dedicated to gathering ideas to improve the community.

3 vie for council seat Incumbent Bill Garnos faces Linda Morrison, Donald Ward By Nancy Hull Rigdon Gladstone City Council member Bill Garnos will face a familiar opponent as well as a new challenger in the April election. When filing for the seat held by Garnos closed Jan. 15, Garnos, Linda Morrison and Donald Ward had decided to run. Voters will decide the race Tuesday, April 2. The council appointed Garnos to the seat in 2011 to fill a vacancy when Les Smith stepped down mid-term. In April 2012, Garnos successfully ran to keep his seat; he defeated Ward by a 52 percent-to-47 percent margin. The winner of the race will serve a three-year term. Here is a look at the candidates, listed in filing order:

Bill Garnos

Garnos served on the Gladstone Planning Commission for four years before he was appointed to the City Council. He described himself and the other council members as sharing similar goals, with fiscal

responsibility a top priority. “Living within your means is job No. 1,” Garnos said. “We’ve maintained city services over the past few years and have done so in fairly lean economic times.” He also pointed out that the city has recently expanded its services with the opening of Linden Square, a project that includes the synthetic-surface ice skating rink that debuted late last year and an amphitheater set to open this spring. “We are getting a lot of great things done while being careful to not get overextended,” he said.

Linda S. Morrison

Morrison said she previously worked at the city of Riverside for five years as a code enforcement officer and with the Kansas City Housing Authority for eight years as director of property maintenance. She is now retired. “I want to take what I have learned and use it to make Gladstone better than it is,” Morrison said. “One thing I want to do is make communication

between citizens and City Hall much better.” She emphasized that if elected, she won’t lead with her own ideas. “I want to go in with the people’s ideas. I want to be a vessel for the people of Gladstone,” she said. “I don’t owe anybody anything. And my nose isn’t brown.”

Donald Ward

Ward is a member of the Gladstone Planning Commission, having been appointed in August 2011. He said that when he ran for City Council last year, he heard residents say they would like more interaction with the city. “I want to make sure that the communication is getting to the people,” Ward said. “People still don’t know the ice skating rink is there.” He also has an interest in helping oversee city projects including the downtown revitalization project known as Gladstone Village Center. “I want to ensure that what is being done is what the city needs,” he said. Ward said he works at Ford’s Kansas City Assembly Plant in Claycomo.

County road patrol needs beefing up

District champs

First let me say that I am honored to once again serve as Clay County sheriff. Since taking office, I have seen the need for several changes in the department. One is to increase the deputies on road patrol. As the command staff and I took a hard look at the crime rate, I realized felony cases were up 13 percent from 2011. Not every crime is preventable, but with a larger presence of deputies, criminals are more likely to stay out of the areas patrolled by deputies, who will receive specialized training in many areas of law enforcement such as crime prevention, DWI, drug recognition and interdiction. I looked at the overall service, such as warrant attempts, civil process and calls for other agencies. I noticed the sheriff’s office received 22,181 calls in 2007. I compared that with 52,287 calls for service in 2012, which is an increase of 135 percent by volume in a five-year time frame. The sheriff’s office anticipates this rate to rise. I then broke this down to calls for service just for the road patrol and discovered the road patrol answered 19,845 calls for service. There are only 20 deputies assigned to the road patrol, therefore this averages one call per deputy per hour — with a 24-hour service. I also noticed the road patrol had not had a significant increase since 1993. If we step back and look at the crime rate within Clay County as a whole, including all cities except Kansas City, there have been 228 violent crimes reported, consisting of murder, manslaughter, rape and aggravated assault; 472 burglaries and 1,847 larcenies were also reported as of December 2012, according to the Missouri Uniform Crime Report. With current events like the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., and in Aurora Colo., and many

other violent crimes, we see a need for more law enforcement. With budget restraints, many departments, including mine, have been doing much more with less. As a community, we need more resources to help combat the criminal element that is facing all of us. I have already taken many steps with the resources I have to accomplish my promise on the reduction of the crime rate. I have established a crime analyst to help the road patrol and investigators concentrate on certain groups, areas or trends. By far, the most common local threat to our homes is burglary. According to the FBI, a burglary occurs somewhere in the United States every 15.4 seconds. By definition, the crime of burglary is a non-confrontational property crime that occurs when we are not at home. Many occur when the owner is at work, at school or on vacation. Becoming a burglary victim can leave a family feeling vulnerable and violated. I have voiced my concerns about the crime rate to the citizens of Clay County, and I am putting forth the efforts to combat the criminal element affecting Clay County. A new program I wish to launch soon is providing tips to help rural residents better protect their homes from burglary. The idea is to have a deputy respond to a residence at the request of the owner and evaluate the property to better protect the families from burglary. An evaluation sheet will be left with the homeowner with many tips they can follow. This is not 100 percent guarantee prevention, however, it may help deter criminals. The sheriff’s office will also be cooperating with other agencies that have a similar programs to insure all citizens of Clay County have the information they need to better protect their homes and families. Paul Vescovo is the Clay County sheriff.

Secretary of State Kander announces changes Missouri’s new secretary of state, Jason Kander, has implemented three programs to provide improved service to Missourians, all at no cost to taxpayers, according to a press release. “My goal is to build on the work that has been done in the secretary of State’s office to provide even better service to Missourians,” Kander said. “These three initiatives will make it easier to start a business in Missouri, be more efficient for eligible Missourians to vote, as well as give the public confidence that my office is being run in a nonpartisan and fair way. And, we are not spending a single extra tax dollar to work on these projects.” Kander launched the Business Outreach Office to connect Missourians who start businesses with organizations in their area that may be able to help them succeed. The office, which utilizes staff already in place in the Business Services Division, will also help aspiring business owners navigate the requirements necessary to do business in Missouri. It can be reached at (573) 522-1338. Kander said he will assemble a commission made up of local election officials, other elected officeholders, business leaders and additional stakeholders who will advise him on the most efficient, fair and secure way to allow eligible Missourians to cast a ballot before Election Day. Missouri is one of only 15 states that do not have any form of no-excuse absentee or early voting. Brianna

Lennon, a former Missouri Assistant Attorney General who Kander hired to serve as the office’s Elections Counsel, will coordinate the commission. Kander also instituted a new ethics policy for his

staff to ensure that prohibits them from taking gifts from lobbyists and will require an ethics training course to ensure they understand Missouri’s ethics laws before starting work.

As he has in previous years, Nixon renewed his call for a reinstatement of contribution limits on state campaign committees. “Each time a wealthy individual” sends a big check, Nixon said, “the public’s trust erodes.” “The era of unlimited campaign contributions must end,” he said. Nixon made the statement after 28 days of accepting more than $200,000 in contributions of more than $10,000.

Hit-filled Saturday cartoon collection features 46 songs Jackson 5ive Blu-ray + DVD ($39.99)

One of the hottest pop groups of the ’70s didn’t have to do much to become a Saturday morning cartoon. The Jackson Five simply gave their permission for Rankin/Bass animation studios, Motown and the ABC network to come up with the storylines, outsource the production, use other voices instead of the Jacksons’, and voilá — soon little cartoon Michael and his four brothers were off and running on increasingly outlandish adventures, including building a robot to take their place at concerts, getting shrunk to micro size a la “Fantastic Voyage,” and living out a Jack and the Beanstalk fantasy with a handful of magic beans. Now available for the first time on DVD or Blu-ray, this collection includes all 23 episodes of the show’s 1971-72 run on both formats, and 46 Jackson Five songs, including “ABC,” “I Want You Back,” “Never Can Say Goodbye,” “Rockin’ Robin” and other gems pulled from the group’s hot hit singles and albums at the time.

more dangerous and might make for a change of plans on this particular night. Bonus features include behindthe scenes documentaries, and commentary from writer and director David Ayer provides insight into his use of different points-of-view from the movie’s police officers, gang members, dashboard cams, handheld video recorders and other characters’ perspectives to unfold the movie’s gritty, gripping drama.

Print companion to hit TV series packed with photos, character info The Chronicles of Downtown Abbey By Jessica Fellowes & Matthew Stugis Hardcover, 320 pages ($29.99 / St. Martin’s Press)

Fans of the runaway hit PBS series “Downton Abbey,” about an aristocratic family and their servants in early 20th century England and now in its third season, will go bonkers for this book, its official companion piece. It’s packed with profiles all the show’s characters, revealing backgrounds, actions and motivations of every major member of the Downton estate; hundreds of color photos, including historical images of advertising and products from the era of the drama; behind-the-scenes shots of the show, its actors and its set; and a foreword by its creator, writer and producer, Julian Fellowes. — Neil Pond, American Profile

Jake Gyllenhall, Michael Peña star in gritty L.A. cop drama End of Watch Blu-ray ($34.98)

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña are teamed as a pair of L.A.-cop partners patrolling some of the city’s meanest streets, hoping as always, to head home at their “end of watch” to their significant others (Anna Kendrick and “Ugly Betty” star America Ferrera). But a routine traffic violation that turns into something much

Horoscopes ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, you have been living life in the fast lane, but this week you may need to apply the brakes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not careful, you could miss out on some exciting stuff.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, someone you know may feel like he or she deserves something that you have. Do not validate any jealousy and take the higher road by not engaging the situation.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, provide a steady and strong hand to keep someone you love on the right track. It may not be easy to be so supportive, but do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary to help a loved one.

CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, although you are very persuasive this week, you should focus all of your attention on selling yourself to others in the workplace. This can make promotion imminent.

LEO Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, you might sense that something isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite right this week with a couple of people you know. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shy about asking questions to get to the bottom of the situation.

VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, it can be difficult to believe the truth sometimes, especially when the news is not what you want to hear. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let disagreements cloud common sense.

LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, mixing business and pleasure is not the right approach this week. Avoid starting new romantic relationships with someone in the office and focus on work.

SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, remember that risk may ultimately bring reward when considering an investment opportuniComic (44) ty. With this in mind, you â&#x20AC;˘ Jan. 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Elijah Wood, may want go out on a limb Actor (32) this week.

In just one year of existence, the tax district funds have begun to make their impact on the zoo’s 200-acre complex, most significantly through the Helzberg Penguin Plaza scheduled to open

in late 2013. Seventy-five percent of the $15 million exhibit was funded by Clay and Jackson taxpayers. “The tax district has allowed us that financial stability to allow us to do some things we’ve needed to for a long time and look at our master plan and at our next exhibits and animals,” Wisthoff said. “What we’ve been able to do so far is just scratching the surface.” Managing Editor Amy Neal contributed to this report.

20-year-old sentenced in murder of 3 at area motel A 20-year-old man, who prosecutors say impassively gunned down three men because one may have flirted with his girlfriend in a motel room, was sentenced Jan. 24 to life in prison without parole plus multiple life sentences, according to a press release. Clay County Judge A. Rex Gabbert assessed and imposed punishment at two terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole for first-degree murder, another life term for second-degree murder and three terms of 50 years for armed criminal action against Isaac Perdomo-Paz. Gabbert ordered the sentences run consecutively. Jurors convicted Perdomo-Paz of the Feb. 26, 2011, shooting deaths of Dejan Joksimovic, 18, Armin Hamidovic, 18, and Delfino Elizondo,

22, at a motel near Missouri Highway 210 and Interstate 435, just south of Worlds of Fun, said Clay County Prosecuting Attorney Daniel White. Perdomo-Paz was convicted Oct. 26, 2012, of first-degree murder in the deaths of Joksimovic and Hamidovic and second-degree murder in Elizondo’s death, said White. Perdomo-Paz was also convicted of three counts of armed criminal action. Jurors deliberated seven hours before returning the verdict, said White. Evidence during the trial was that a party that had started south of the Missouri River had swung north. Hamidovic was reportedly sitting near Perdomo-Paz’s girlfriend on a motel room bed and was killed by Perdomo-Paz, evidently out of jealousy, said White. Five shots were fired; all victims were struck in the

head. The weapon was a .380-caliber auto-loading pistol, White said. “This was a brutal and senseless act by Mr. Perdomo-Paz against not one individual, but three young men who unfortunately found themselves in the hotel room with the defendant. The defendant had no justification for his actions,” Gabbert said prior to assessing punishment. White and Gabbert this was a “horrific and brutal murder scene.” Joksimovic and Elizondo died because “they were in the wrong place at the wrong time with someone who had no respect for human life,” the prosecutor said. Clay County Sheriff’s deputies investigated the case. Litigating the case for the state were Wes Rogers, Dawn Schaag and Lisa Caine.

Lights: New LED bulbs mean immediate, direct savings for city Continued from Page A1 switch, although some did contact the city when crews were installing the LED lights to inquire about the work. Some of the streetlights in Gladstone are owned by the city, while others are leased from Kansas City Power & Light. Helmer said Gladstone came “pretty close” to reaching its goal of retrofitting all of the city-owned street lights with the grant money — within 50 or fewer lights. “We wanted to retrofit our existing lights because that’s like changing a light bulb in your house, Helmer said. “The second that light bulb is switched out for us, we get the real savings on it. So that was a new light and that’s direct savings to Gladstone. And we’d certainly welcome KCP&L to switch out

their lights if they wanted to just because we think that’s the right thing to do.” No one area of town was targeted for the new lights. “The lights that we had retrofitted are pretty representative of all over the city. There could be in a particular area, there could be a couple of lights on one street or there could be a number of lights. It really kind of depends on the neighborhood and the area of the city. … Our goal was to get as many as we could accomplish to be retrofitted.” For the location of high-efficiency streetlights in participating communities, see the maps at www. ma rc.org/E nv iron ment/ Energy/smartlights.htm. According to a press release, residents may voice their opinions about the lights at www.marck-

cvoices.com, an interactive, online “town hall” dedicated to gathering ideas to improve the community. Utility providers and the municipalities want to know whether high-efficiency streetlights are a promising long-term technology and to be sure that the energy savings and long life that LEDs can provide will compensate for start-up costs. They also want to know if the new lights add to public safety and community character. Residents’ feedback at will help determine whether our region can reap long-term benefits from a conversion to high-efficiency streetlight fixtures and transform the local streetlight market, according to a press release.
