Mark Tomes selected as face of Gladfest 34

By Amy Neal When Mark Tomes was picked to be the grand marshal of the Gladfest 34 parade, he really couldn’t refuse. Friends, family and business associates agree, he’s a man who can’t say “no.” His willingness to lend a hand in the community he has called home

for more than 50 years and done business in for more than 20 largely influenced his selection as parade marshal. “This year’s winner truly embodies the spirit of community and is always glad to help with any project, no matter how large or MARSHAL/Page A4

Gladfest 34 “It’s Time to Explore” is the theme of the 34th annual Gladfest. Activities will take place Friday to Sunday, Oct. 4 to 6, in Gladstone’s city center. Read all about this year’s lineup in the festival guide in this week’s Gladstone Dispatch.

According to a judge’s order, the public vote on the proposed Clay County constitution will continue as scheduled Tuesday, Nov. 5. Judge Roger Prokes of the 4th Judicial Circuit Court in Nodaway County issued the order Sept. 25 staying proceedings on the litigation filed by Clay County Commissioners Pam Mason, Luann Ridgeway and Gene Owen against the constitution until after the election is held. Prokes found multiple counts of the commissioners’ petition were not “ripe for adjudication,” meaning a declaratory judgment from the court on the provisions and effects of the constitution could not be made unless the document was adopted by voters. Prokes also determined the Missouri Constitution guaranteed the right of Clay County residents to vote on the proposed constitution. The order did state that the court could hear the commissioners’ claims against the constitution after the Nov. 5 election, if the constitution is passed. During a hearing Sept. 19, Prokes ruled the ballot language of the proposed

constitution should be changed to read “Shall Clay County adopt the proposed county constitution drafted by the Clay County Constitution Commission which was authorized by the Nov 6, 2012 election.” The Sept. 25 order allows the Clay County Board of Elections to keep the constitution issue on the ballot. “It is ordered that the defendant Election Board of Clay County proceed with the necessary steps to place the adoption of the proposed Clay County Constitution on the ballot for the general election on Nov. 5, 2013, pursuant to this Court’s Order revising the language of the ballot; and that all further proceedings in this matter are stayed until after the general election on Nov. 5, 2013,” the order stated. Jeremy Root, attorney for the Clay County commissioners, said he was not surprised Prokes mandated the ballot language be changed, but Root disagreed with the judge’s decision regarding the other challenges. “We believe he’s wrong about the ripeness issue and are concerned that if Constitution/Page A11

News in Brief and older until the remaining 450 doses are gone. Tdap is a booster shot that protects those 11 years and older against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. The county continues to see pertussis (whooping cough) reappear each year. Adults can have the disease and not know it. They can pass it along to infants and young children. Infants receive their first dose of protection against pertussis at 2 months but are not fully protected until 12 to 15 months of age. “We are very excited about this opportunity to provide protection to our littlest citizens through immunizing those that care about them,” said Registered Nurse Sue Miller. “It isn’t often we get the chance to provide shots Amy Neal/Staff Photo for free, so we hope many A wooden arch marks the spot where the Big Shoal Baptist Church once stood in Big Shoal Cemetery.

MARSHAL: Success is about ‘the number of people you can call your friend’ Continued from Page A1 small,” said Suzanne McCanles in announcing the recognition at the September luncheon of the Gladstone Area Chamber of Commerce. “Having been described as ‘sweating, but with a smile,’ this year’s parade marshal has spent countless hours working on behalf of the chamber, city and entire Northland.” Vinnie Vaccaro, chairman of the chamber, went to Northwest Missouri State University the same time as Tomes. Vaccaro describes the parade marshal as someone who “lives and prospers and grows from helping other people.” Tomes’ explained himself this way: “Some people like to golf. I like to work.” Tomes’ civic service has included work on the Bluesfest and Gladfest planning committees and as a volunteer, as well as serving on the Board of Directors, as chairman and in other capacities with the Gladstone Chamber of Commerce. His involvement with

Mark Tomes the education community has included being a YouthFriend volunteer and business partner of North Kansas City Schools, president of the St. Charles School and St. Pius X High School parents clubs, and a long-time coach. He sings in the choir at St. Charles Catholic Church and is a member of the men’s group that serves meals to families in need. Tomes is also well-known among local Boy Scouts. He is the institutional head of Boy Scout Troop 180, chairman of the Troop 180 Eagle

Scout College Scholarship Fund, unit commissioner of Troops 183 and 273, and on the District Management Committee and Sachem of the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. The Oak Park High School graduate opened his own insurance agency in 1987 and was recently chosen as one of KC Business Magazine’s 5 Star Insurance Professionals. “You were raised in Gladstone and realized just how wonderful of a city that it is,” said his children and grandchildren in prepared remarks read at the Sept. 25 luncheon. “Thus it was important for you to raise your children, make friends, and set up your business here. You’ve participated in numerous Gladstone events over the years, but none have ever seemed to be as fulfilling for you as working at the Bluesfest and Gladfest with the people you enjoy and respect.” Tomes and his wife, Pam, have been married for 40 years. After four decades, she said she keeps thinking he’ll get tired one of these

days, “but he keeps giving and giving.” Pam Tomes said whenever someone asks her husband to help, his response is simply to ask where and when he is needed. Mark Tomes said he encourages other people to get involved in community projects. “You find out it’s just fun because it’s fun to be with people,” he said. And getting to know people is his idea of success. “I think that’s what success is all about — the number of people you can call your friend,” he said in his acceptance speech at the chamber lunch. Old friends and friends he hasn’t met yet will find Tomes in the Gladfest parade Saturday morning, Oct. 5, and helping with the apple pie auction that afternoon. It’s no surprise that his favorite part of the annual fall festival is being with all of the people. “It’s not about the games or rides,” he said. “It’s about working with my friends and seeing my friends at the booths.”

Your Country. Your Vote. Your Duty.

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your patriotic duty to vote on November 5 and make a difference in the political landscape of our country. Show your appreciation for our democratic system by choosing to make your voice heard.

Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s democracy is preserved. Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices. From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirement in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.

Horoscopes ARIES Mar 21/Apr 20

A blue mood is nothing to worry about, Aries. It is just your body telling you that you may need to slow down a bit. Take heed and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll recharge in no time.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, you are beginning a contemplative phase of life right now, but you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to sacrifice your social life to do so. Take a few days off from socializing and then return.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21

Try to avoid any deep conversations or controversial topics this week, Gemini. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best if you focus on more trivial matters and enjoy yourself.

CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, give yourself more time to figure everything out if you are feeling indecisive about someone. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forge ahead without feeling entirely comfortable with the person.

LEO Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drop everything youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on to address a developing issue at home. Others can handle the situation just as well as you, so keep your focus on preexisting tasks at hand.

judge decided any complaints (the commissioners) had against the content of the constitution could not legally be raised until after the election. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t raise any issue that would legally keep the proposed constitution off the ballot. Voters have a right to vote on it.â&#x20AC;? Ramsay also served on the constitution commission. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, we are pleased with the results, but they are no surprise,â&#x20AC;? Suter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All this other legal challenge stuff is not based on any legal theory. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a publicity stunt that (the commissioners) hope will delay the process to stop the election board from doing their job.â&#x20AC;? In response to Prokesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sept. 25 order, the county commissioners filed a petition for a writ of mandamus with the Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District. The petition asked the court of appeals to require Prokes to hear the remaining claims of the commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lawsuit before the election. The court declined the petition on Sept. 26, keeping the constitution on the ballot. The commissioners again filed a petition for a writ of mandamus on Sept. 27, this time with the Missouri Supreme Court, to require Prokes to hear their remaining claims. As of press time, the court had not taken action on the petition.

“It’s Time to Explore” with Gladfest 34! The first weekend of October is reserved for Gladfest, and even if you’ve been coming to this fall festival north of the river for the past three and a half decades, you’ll discover something new on this year’s expedition. Gladstone has witnessed multiple additions to the city’s entertainment and cultural landscape in the past year, and Gladfest will showcase those new amenities. In the city center, the Linden Square stage will offer free live acts, as the outdoor venue has every weekend since opening in the spring. Little explorers will delight in an expanded Kids Corner with crafts, inflatables, military vehicles, Zoomobile, rides in a barrel train and more! Festival favorites like craft and Marketplace vendors, the Gladstone Farmers Market, main stage entertainment and the dog show will return. This year’s apple pie baking contest will be extra sweet with $1,000 in prizes up for grabs. On Saturday morning, a parade will wind its way through town, and a carnival will be open all three days. Gladfest is co-hosted by the city of Gladstone and the Gladstone Area Chamber of Commerce. Festival co-chairs for Gladfest 34 are Jinny Kyle and Shelly True.

Connect with God and others in your community through biblical teaching, God-honoring worship and positive learning opportunities for children, youth and adults.

Almost KISS

Considered talented enough to be placed on the world-famous “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” TV show in front of an international audience, Almost KISS caught the eye of “Family Jewels” producers and executives in 2010. The band also was chosen to be included as one of six tributes to be endorsed by Gene Simmons. Since then, this amazing group of four musicians has continued to excite crowds all over the country, growing substantially in popularity. Part of what makes the Almost KISS show so enthralling is the way in which the band members have so meticulously recreated the complete KISS image on stage. The boys feature authentic vintage instruments, makeup, and custom-made costumes and boots. Their unmistakable New York accents and KISS antics truly bring out the outlandish, charismatic personas of the original four Gods of Thunder adored by fans. In being true to the original characters, Almost KISS derives the majority of its song list from a specific part of the KISS “katalog,” primarily performing material that KISS played in live concert settings from 1974 to 1983. These songs span material from the early tunes KISS played at small, dingy clubs in New York City to huge, international numbers such as “Lick It Up.” Touring takes this tribute band to festivals, college campuses, corporate events, benefits, nightclubs and private functions from Missouri to Texas and Wisconsin, and in the Caribbean.
