Clay County renews contract with EDA Group looks to strengthen investments, focus on regional markets in 2014 By Ryne Dittmer The Clay County Economic Development Alliance will serve as the county’s economic development organization for a second year after the Clay County Commission approved a one-year contract Jan. 13. The $162,500 contract matches the EDA’s first contract approved in February 2013. As outlined in the agreement, EDA President Greg Ma r t i net te’s pay is not to exceed $96,000. Martinette is also not eligible to receive bonuses to his salary. The commissioners praised the first-year efforts of the EDA and Martinette during the meeting. “What they’ve been able to do so far has been amazing, I think, personally. I am extremely happy with the work,” Western Commissioner Gene Owen said. “I look forward to a good year.” Presiding Commissioner Pam Mason said she was especially pleased with the group effort of the EDA. “I think everybody is all
pulling in the same direction, which hadn’t happened in a very long time. So that’s really good, and that’s one thing that’s been consistent,” she said. Martinette was at the meeting to deliver a summary of the EDA’s work to date and to provide a preview of the organization’s 2014 goals. Since forming in Febr uar y 2013, Martinette said the EDA had been committed to meeting with area businesses to focus on retention and expansion efforts. “We’ve had 43 meetings with businesses since last February and are helping them in certain issues they may have like expansion, or it could be as small as getting them a package of demographics,” Martinette said. The retention efforts have been aided by the Synchronist Business Information System software provided by Kansas City Power & Light Co. EDA Director of Economic Development Danielle Naven said the organization EDA/Page A7

Gladstone Dispatch A7
squad: Sheriff Vescovo brings back volunteer detectives Continued from Page A1 Vescovo. Working as volunteers, members of the squad were given the task of reopening the county’s cold case files and continuing investigations, in particular the murder of McClanahan. “That (case) was in the back of my mind when I put together the Cold Case Squad,” said Vescovo. “It meant quite a bit to me. I was a sergeant (with the Smithville Police Department) back in 1990. I was one of the first officers on scene. It happened on my watch, and I always felt a sense of responsibility to seeing this solved.” With 92 years of combined law enforcement experience, Mansell and Chevalier reopened the unsolved Northland murder shortly after the squad was formed. “When you get a case like this, the first thing you do is sit down and review it,” Mansell said. After reviewing the case, the two detectives began conducting a series of interviews. “We wore out a lot of shoe leather,” said Chevalier, who dubbed the process “old-school police work.” The men would continue their investigation until 2005, when the group disbanded after Vescovo was voted out of office. Vescovo would reunite the squad after being elected to another term as sheriff in 2012. Picking up where they left off, the squad’s investigators were aided by new technology including Internet databases and palm-print identification.
of the victim.” Although it took 23 years, Vescovo said he was proud of the squad for solving the case. “I’m not surprised they were able to solve it. It was gratifying to see them bring it to closure,” said Vescovo. “I don’t know if it would have been solved without the two of them working on it.” Chevalier said he and Mansell knew solving the case would be a challenge when they first began their investigation. “You have the peaks and valleys. That’s just the nature of the business here,” said Chevalier. “One virtue it takes is patience. You just can’t rush into it and think you’re going to solve it like a television production in an hour. It’s going to take some time.” While waiting for final DNA results to definitively connect Davis to the murder, the squad has begun to look toward its next case involving an unidentified skull found in 1985. “We want to get her identified, and if there’s family, we want to give them closure,” Mansell said. Mansell and Chevalier said the support from the Sheriff’s Office and other metropolitan law enforcement agencies played a vital role in solving the Smithville case and they look forward to continuing their investigations. “Once you get into this career, it’s hard to get out of. Every day in law enforcement is different. It’s a variety, and that’s what keeps you going,” said Mansell. “It gives me something to get up and do every morning. It’s just in my blood.”
“One virtue it takes is patience. You just can’t rush into it and think you’re going to solve it like a television production in an hour. It’s going to take some time.” Arthur Chevalier, Clay County Sheriff’s Office Cold Case Squad detective “When we reopened the case in May, we called to match fingerprints and submitted palm prints. It came up with this lady who had never been in the original investigation at all,” Mansell said. The lady identified was Davis. Once she was arrested in December, Chevalier and Mansell were quickly brought in to conduct an interview. “Since she had been living on the streets before her arrest, I asked her where she was going to go. She said. ‘I’m not leaving,’” Chevalier said. “It was that ‘ah-ha’ moment when she said that. The light came on, and I said, ‘We got her.’ The biggest thing was trying to contain our excitement and not show it.” Mansell said Davis was cooperative throughout the interview. “She knew the day would come. She had a conscience, and she wanted to get it off her conscience,” he said. “It certainly brought closure for the family
News in Brief Photo exhibit at community center The Gladstone Arts Commission is presenting the work of Tom Holle in the Gladstone Community Center Public Art Space as one of its featured artist exhibits. The show opened Jan. 14 and will continue through Tuesday, March 11, during the normal operating hours of the center. Tom Holle is a photographer who loves to photograph flowers, reflections, places and things. Many of his pieces look abstract but are not. He says flowers are his favorite subject “because, for the most part, they are cooperative.”

Public hearing set for interchange The public is invited to offer comments on preliminary plans to improve safety, move traffic more efficiently and alleviate congestion at the Interstate 435 and Missouri Highway 210 interchange. The Missouri Department of Transportation is hosting an open-house public hearing from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30, in the Maple Room at the Holiday InnKansas City Northeast, 7333 Parvin Road in Kansas City, to gather public input regarding the location and design for the proposed project. This open-house style hearing will share with the public preliminary plans to convert the current I-435 and Highway 210 interchange into a diverging diamond interchange; replace the two I-435 bridges over Highway 210; and add an additional through lane on I-435 in the project area. Potential right-of-way impacts to property will also be available. Anyone interested is encouraged to drop by the meeting anytime during the posted hours to talk to MoDOT engineers and offer comments. Those unable to attend can view the displays and offer comments through an online public meeting at www.modot.org/kc beginning Jan. 30. Comments will be accepted through Feb. 13.
EDA: Secondary-market branding another focus of organization began using the software last October. “I meet with businesses and ask them a series of questions from workforce to technology to seeing if they might be moving or expanding. I take all of that data and I put it into this survey, and that software system aggregates that data for all of the companies that we have been visiting with,” Naven said.
The data is used to help the EDA identify areas where it can provide the businesses with support. Naven said that she met with 14 businesses from October to December of 2013, and had met with one business and scheduled 10 additional meetings since the start of the year. The director said her goal was to meet with 50 businesses this year. “We’ve heard nothing but great reports from
those that she’s met with,” Martinette said. “Our companies know that the CCEDA and the county care about them and we’re there to help them. I think it’s going fantastic and we’re going to hit a lot of companies this year.” According to Martinette, the EDA had a hand in bringing 288 jobs and $145.7 million in investment to Clay County in 2013 through Adrian Steel,

THOUSAND OF PIECES SAVED FROM EXTINCTION

As Lily grew, Tara realized that she had a big dog with a lot of energy on her hands.
Tara knew she had to do something with Lily. When Tara was sidelined by a back injury, she found herself spending more hours on the couch than behind the lunch counter. While in recovery, she studied search and rescue dog training. Tara grew up in Springfield, Missouri, and even before she met her husband, Jeff, she was a member of a search and rescue (SAR) team. Later Tara lived in Newton County, where she worked as a 911 dispatcher. She met Jeff while working as an emergency medical technician (EMT), and the two worked together for a long time before moving to Joplin. There, Jeff continued his career, becoming chief paramedic officer and a rescue diver. Tara’s mother was also a dog trainer. Teaching Lily search and rescue seemed to be the perfect marriage of two family passions. Search and rescue dogs are animals that are trained to detect human scent. Dogs possess a phenomenal sense of smell and can pick up the scent of human skin, sweat, respiratory gases or gases released during decomposition. There are four main types of search and rescue dogs—airscenting, tracking, trailing and cadaver dogs. Airscenting search and rescue dogs sniff the wind to find a missing person. These dogs typically work off of a leash, and once their subject is found, they stay with them and bark to alert their handlers that the search was successful.
CHAPTER 2: Training A Search & Rescue Dog Tracking dogs have a different style. They usually work while on a leash, searching for their subjects with their noses to the ground. Trailing dogs combine both of these methods. They may smell both the air and the ground, following a specific scent that has been offered to them (through the missing person’s clothes or pillowcase) prior to the search. Finally, cadaver dogs are used to locate a deceased person. Cadaver dogs, like trailing dogs, will use a combination of all of these methods—on or off of a leash, ground or airscenting— to find their subjects. The difference is that cadaver dogs search for people who have already passed away while trailing dogs search for live victims. Any dog can be trained to be a search and rescue dog. Most dogs are intelligent animals with a strong sense of smell. As a Weimaraner, Lily is a member of a sporting breed. Tara realized that Lily was an intelligent dog, highly motivated to train and possessing a great sense of smell. Search and rescue seemed like a perfect fit. As soon as Tara was back on her feet, she trained Lily to become an airscenting dog, picking scents from wind currents and following them with Tara right behind. They started easy, playing hide and seek with Tara’s children in the backyard, before graduating to more sophisticated methods, eventually sniffing out tiny clues in order to locate individuals. Tara used positive reinforcement while training Lily. This means that when Lily did what Tara wanted her to, she was given a reward. Tara capitalized on
Lily’s hunting dog instincts, and as Lily followed her nose, Tara praised and rewarded her. Lily trained as a cadaver dog, prepared to find human remains, but it soon became apparent that Lily had an aptitude for finding live victims as well. Sometimes a trainer might use food to motivate a dog, but Tara and Lily have a special bond. They both have a passion for search and rescue work, and for Lily, SAR training is a natural extension of her hunting dog instincts. Lily loves to make Tara happy and vice versa. The two share a mutual trust. They are the ultimate team.
Dig A Little Deeper! Tara knows that search and rescue is a good fit for Lily’s personality and background. Visit The Canine Search and Rescue Association: searchk9team.org and summarize three to five important facts that you learn about the association. What is its purpose? How can you request its assistance? How can you enroll your dog for training? In the News: Search and rescue dogs often help in the event of a natural disaster. There are many natural hazards that might make the news: earthquakes, wildfires, volcanic eruptions, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. Watch for newspaper stories or pictures about such hazards. For each story, identify the natural hazards involved and their effect on people and places. For a companion teacher guide, visit mo-nie.com and use code: teachmo14.
