Only The Name Has Changed
What was formerly Blue Ridge Mazda is now Blue Ridge Auto-Truck Plaza
The Blue Ridge Mazda dealership at 6824 Blue Ridge Boulevard that had long been part of the city’s landscape since 1983, moved its Mazda franchise to Lee’s Summit in 2008. Kansas City’s oldest Mazda dealer, Blue Ridge
Mazda, now operating as Lee’s Summit Mazda, is continuing its 30-year tradition in a brand new state-of-theart facility on 975 SE Oldham Parkway. The good news is that the owners of the Mazda dealer-
ship chose to maintain a presence at the former location in Raytown, now Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza. The same owner offers a full service center, body shop and parts department. While maintaining a large inventory of pre-
Lee’s Summit Mazda
owned cars and trucks, they also offer a wide variety of financing options, such as Buy Here Pay Here. In fact, Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza stores much of the Lee’s Summit dealership’s new car inventory.
So, in many ways, the only thing that changed was the name. Blue Ridge Auto Truck Plaza is looking forward to many more years of serving Raytown.
All Aboard The Historic Orphan Train The Marguerite McNair Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) will host “All Aboard the Historic Orphan Train”, a presentation by Carolyn Grover. The public is welcome to sit in on the presentation at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, January 8, 2014, at Bickford House, 9110 E. 63rd Street. The Orphan Train Movement that spanned 75 years was intended to be a welfare program founded by Charles Loring Brace. He was so full of compassion for orphaned and homeless children that he was compelled to get them off the streets of New York and send them to the country. From 1853 to 1929, about 250,000 orphaned, abandoned, and homeless children were relocated primarily to the Midwest. “Some of these children included Henry L. Jost, who served as mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, from 1912 to 1916. Other children grew
up to be governors, lawyers, congressman and one became a Supreme Court justice but some were not so fortunate,” says Grover. Her adventure in learning about the history of the Orphan Train Movement started about ten years ago with her first talk in Emporia, Kansas, at a relative’s request. That was all it took for her to get hooked on learning and giving programs to educate others about this remarkable story. Grover continues, “I have given many programs on this subject and I still find many people who have not heard of the Orphan Trains. This story needs to be told because it is part of our history. Most of the children placed out were not really orphans. They were put out because their parents couldn’t care for them.” For the past nine years, Grover has been making her Orphan Train presentation to various organizations, such as chapters of the Daughters and Sons of the American Revolution, church groups, genealogy and historical societies. She never charges for her service because she feels it is more important for the story to be told.
“My dream is to be able to go into schools to educate students on this part of American History,“ says Grover. “Explain how the movement came about and let them experience how those children must have felt to be taken out of their element and put on
a train to where they didn’t know,” Carolyn Grover has been married to Bob Grover for fifty-one years, has four children and 13 grandchildren, and is a member of the DAR and is the Chaplain for the War of 1812 chapter.

Kauffman Center is excited to present Regina Carter, innovative jazz violinist, and the talented siblings of The 5 Browns as part of the 2013–2014 ‘Kauffman Center Presents’ season,” said Jane Chu, President and CEO of the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. “These inventive musicians stretch the boundaries of their instruments; on one hand we have a jazz violinist performing bluegrass, on the other, five pianists will bring a fresh perspective to the classics. Regina Carter Sunday, March 23, 2014 | 7 pm Helzberg Hall Over a span of more than two decades, violinist Regina Carter has established herself as an enduring and creative force in jazz. She demonstrates an unbridled artistry and imagination and has explored a broad diversity of styles from jazz to classical and soul to African. Carter draws from a diverse well of influences that include classical, Motown swing, funk, and world music, among others. In 2006, Carter won the highly esteemed MacArthur Fellowship, which is given to individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits. Her latest project, “Southern Comfort,” lends her improvisational virtuosity to American country and bluegrass music. The 5 Browns Friday, May 16, 2014 | 8 pm Helzberg Hall The 5 Browns are delivering on their dream to wake up classical music by introducing it to the widest, largest, and most excited audience they can find. The 5 Browns – Ryan, Melody, Gregory, Deondra and Desirae – all attended New York’s Julliard School. They became the first family of five siblings ever accepted simultaneously. Whether performing individually or together in various combinations from duo tocomplex fivepiano arrangements, The 5 Browns reveal a deep connection to the intent of the material while bringing a fresh energy and dynamic character to the color and tonal spectrum of their sound. The quintet enjoyed their first wave of critical attention in February 2002 when People magazine dubbed them the “Fab Five” at about the same time they were featured on Oprah and 60 Minutes. The 5 Browns have released three CDs that each went to #1 on Billboard Magazine’s Classical Album Chart.

JP Morgan Chase fined $2.6 billion or not alerting federal authorities about Bernie Madoff’s ponzi scheme. $1.7 billion will go to Madoff’s victims and $543 million will resolve lawsuits to trustees overseeing the recovery of victim’s losses.
KCPL plans to buy 400 megawatts of power from wind turbines, doubling the amount of its renewable energy and making it the largest provider of renewable energy in MO and KS. The savings will help fund expansion of an energy efficiency program. No rate increases are expected for at least the next two years. Jacole Prince of Kansas City was convicted of 1st degree assault and child abuse for failure to get medical treatment for her 10-year-old, 32-pound daughter, LP, who later required a heart transplant. Ja A. Ray of Kansas City was sentence to 25 years in a Missouri prison for the murder of Essence Willoughby
whose 3-year old son was able to articulate details of the murder he witnessed and led police to her body in a wooded area near the intersection of Leeds Trafficway and Stadium Drive. Expired Federal unemployment benefits were restored after six Republicans crossed party lines to vote with Democrats to restore aid to an estimated 1.3 million long-term, jobless Americans. IRS reports a 66% increase in Social Security identify theft. Prosecutions and indictments have more than doubled. State legislators returned to the Capitol to deal with how to fix troubled schools and whether or not to expand the state’s Medicaid program. Given this is an election year, pundits speculate that politically sensitive matters like these may not come up for votes until after March 25, when filing for office closes and incumbents learn whether or not they face opponents.

10 Reasons To Be Excited About Kansas City’s Economy In 2014 By Jeff Pinkerton KCEconomy.com 2013 will go down as a decent year for Kansas City’s economy, but the momentum is building for an even better 2014. Here are 10 reasons we should be excited about this new year: 1. Employment is rebounding. From January through November of 2013 the metro added nearly 12,000 jobs. By itself this is not a particularly robust figure, but it marks a rebound from 2012 when we added only 7,500 jobs. MARC’s economic forecast projects over 14,000 jobs in 2014. 2. High-tech employment is growing. A few months ago, urban economist Joel Kotkin ranked Kansas City 13th overall among the largest metros in the U.S. based on high-tech and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) employment growth between 2001 and 2013. KC has fared particularly well in recent years, with tech industry jobs (software, engineering and computer programming)
growing by 18.5 percent between 2010 and 2013. This ranks eighth out of the 51 largest metros in the country ahead of tech centers like Denver and San Jose. 3. The housing market is on the rise. Housing prices and home sales jumped in 2013, paving the way for new home construction. Speaking of construction… 4. New construction projects start in 2014. The construction industry can look forward to a solid year even beyond new housing as work on projects such as the downtown streetcar and Cerner’s
new Bannister Campus get started. Additionally, the Sprint Campus is reaching capacity, which could spur demand for new office development in southern Johnson County. 5. Manufacturing will add jobs. Kansas City manufacturing has more than held its own in recent years. While the manufacturing sector shrinks nationwide, Kansas City has done a good job of holding onto its manufacturing jobs. Recent investments by General Motors and Ford will result in new manufacturing jobs in 2014, as will the recent announcement
that Aviation Technical Service will bring 600 jobs to KCI’s Overhaul base. 6. Downtown keeps developing. Downtown Kansas City will continue to build on its momentum with several new residential and hotel projects and streetcar construction set to begin in 2014. 7. The information sector has stabilized. The information sector has been a key reason as to why Kansas City’s overall employment performance has lagged in recent years. After peaking in 2000 at 57,000, employment in this sector dropped to
a low of 28,700 jobs in March 2011. Since then, employment has stabilized and crawled back to 30,000. 8. Exports have increased. We often don’t think about Kansas City being a key exporting city, but Brookings noted that we averaged an 8.7-percent annual increase in exports between 2009 and 2012, which ranks us 27th out of the largest 100 metros. Our previously mentioned strength in manufacturing promises to move us up the export standings even further in the years ahead. 9. Kansas City is a tourist destination. We already know Kansas City is a great place, and that word is getting out as Lonely Planet named KC as a top 10 travel destination in 2014. Kansas City also secured several future NCAA championship events in upcoming years, including the Division II football championships starting in next year. Additionally, Kansas City has submitted a bid to host the 2016 Republican National Convention.
10. Entrepreneurship is still our thing. Kansas City has a strong entrepreneurial tradition and a bright entrepreneurial future. Google Fiber was the centerpiece to the Kansas City Startup Village which is now home to over two dozen startup businesses — and growing! Entrepreneurs can find continued support and networking opportunities through organizations like The Kauffman Foundation’s FastTrac program, KCSourceLink and 1 Million Cups. And here’s a bonus reason to be excited about 2014: KC sports teams are back on the map! The Chiefs had an impressive season. Then in spring and summer the Royals will look to improve upon last year’s winning record and advance to their first post season since 1985. Finally, Sporting KC will take to the pitch to defend their freshly minted status as MLS Champions. All in all, there is a lot to look forward to in 2014!
Board of Aldermen, January 7 By Mallory Ragon The Raytown Board of Aldermen held their regular session on January 7. Included on the agenda was the purchase approval of up to $50,000 worth of salt for treatment of roads and bridges in inclem-
ent weather during the 2013-2014 fiscal year. After many comments from the board commending the public works department for their work during recent snow events, the request was approved unanimously. The board also voted
unanimously to approve the sale of certain surplus property by auction, the purchase of equipment from Voice Products, Inc. on behalf of the police department, and an annual agreement between the city and Harris Computer-Global Software
for maintenance of the 911 software system. The board also discussed once more a zoning change for the property owned by H&H Color Labs at 67th Street and Kentucky Avenue. They voted unanimously to approve a change in zon-
ing from highway corridor commercial district to highway corridor commercial district and planned zoning overlay district. They also agreed to vacate a portion of the right-of-way on Kentucky Avenue. The section of road will essentially be converted
to a utility easement, in that it will still be accessible by the city for utility and emergency purposes. The board praised H&H, as they have in past hearings, for their good corporate citizenship and for being a great community partner.
PWSD No. 2 Warns Of Freezing Water Pipes Jackson County Public Water Supply District (PWSD) No. 2 of Jackson County encourages customers to protect water pipes from breaking during freezing temperatures. Simple winterization steps can prevent pipes from
freezing and bursting inside homes, which can lead to costly repairs. Customers can prevent frozen pipes dur-
ing cold weather by: • Disconnecting outdoor hoses; • Insulating pipes or faucets in unheated areas; • Shutting access doors, doors, air vents, and sealing cracks that have exposure to water
pipes; • Locating the master shutoff valve, so water can quickly be shut off if a leak occurs; and • Leaving a pencillead-thin stream of water flowing during freezing weather. In the instance that
a water pipe breaks and the shut-off valve doesn’t work, please call your Water Department immediately to request an emergency shut-off. Water Service crews are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

10 Tips To Help You Shape Your Finances In 2014 From setting a budget to teaching your kids about money
Clint Zweifel
The beginning of a new year is a good time to make not only personal resolutions but also financial resolutions. From creating a family budget to saving for retirement, there are things we can all do to improve our financial habits in 2014. The most important thing is not to get overwhelmed, so I have created this list of 10 tips to help you with your finances. I encourage you to choose the most important goals
for you and your family and work toward them throughout the year. 1. Review how you did last year. It is important to know how much money you spent and on what, how much you saved, and how well your investments performed when looking at potential income and expenses for the future. 2. Set a budget. If you know you will have some big expenses this year, make sure you note them in your budget. Otherwise, using monthby-month estimations is a good way to form a general picture of your budget for the upcoming year. Make sure to track your spending so your estimations are realistic. 3. Reduce your debt. The amount of credit card debt for the average American household is approximately $15,000.
Even a small amount of debt can be a burden to your finances, so concentrate on keeping your payments manageable and paying it off quickly. 4. Save for higher education. It’s never too early or too late to start saving for higher education. Studies show that having a savings account dedicated to a postsecondary education dramatically increases the chance of a student receiving one. When you invest for your children’s future, consider investing in a MOST 529 account. You can start an account with as little as $25 and use the flexible investment options to invest in a way you are comfortable with. 5. Save for retirement. Whether you are just starting off in the workforce or nearing retirement, it is important to
make sure you are saving enough money to retire comfortably. If you have a 401K through your work, make sure that you contribute as much as you can every pay period. If you don’t have a 401K through work, talk to a financial advisor about your options and choose what’s right for you. 6. Save for a rainy day. It is important to keep enough money saved up to deal with unexpected expenses. Maintaining a rainy day account can help prevent those expenses from overwhelming your financial stability. Most financial planners recommend saving between three and six months’ worth of living expenses in an emergency fund. 7. Check Unclaimed Property. I receive new Unclaimed Property ev-
ery day, so make sure that you regularly check my Unclaimed Property list at ShowMeMoney. com. You can register to receive an email notification when new Unclaimed Property matching your information is added. Also, Missourians can now donate their Unclaimed Property to 20 approved charities, learn more about the charities here. 8. Check your credit. You may request a free annual credit report from each nationwide credit reporting company – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Your credit score affects your ability to finance large purchases and the interest rates you pay. It is important to keep a handle on your credit score to project future expenses. 9. Get your tax documents in order. Gather
your tax documents, including your W-2, early to avoid rushing and possibly making a mistake on your returns. 10. Talk to your kids about finances. Research suggests that children as young as 5 are ready to begin learning about finances. You can start with simple lessons, like setting a budget and teaching the importance of saving. Whether it be eating out less to save a little extra each month or making small investments in your future education and retirement, these 10 tips are a great way to start down a path to financial independence. Setting responsible, attainable financial goals for yourself and your family could have a major impact on your finances in 2014.

The Legacy Of Crosby Kemper, Jr. Crosby Kemper, Jr. passed away Thursday, January 2, 2014, at the age of 86 years. He hailed from a long line of bankers and leaders in agriculture. His achievements over his lifetime have likely touched each and every one of us in some way from our dealings with UMB bank to the events we’ve attended over the decades. If you ever attended an event at the Kemper Arena, the American Royal, or took in a Kansas City Symphony concert, or a KC Ballet or Lyric Opera performance, if you ever walked into the Kemper Contemporary Art Museum, you benefited from the vision, generosity and tenacious commitment of Kemper. They say he was a maverick who acted on his principals and what he thought was the right thing to do, no matter how unpopular among his cronies. Kemper left his father’s bank to build his own competing bank from the ground up, Grand Avenue Bank, which
would eventually grow to be UMB Financial Corporation. While some leaders in Kansas City were willing to let the KC Philharmonic go bankrupt in 1982, he motivated other civic leaders to write big checks to rescue the organization and founded the Kansas City Symphony, which today also provides music for the Kansas City Ballet and Lyric Opera. The Kemper Con-
temporary Art Museum was started up with his own collection of art because of his civic commitment to share, challenge and foster an appreciation of the arts. Because he felt strongly about preserving KC’s history of animal husbandry and agriculture, he donated millions to build the Kemper Arena for the American Royal. When the Future Farmers of America moved their convention
from KC to Louisville, Kentucky, Kemper established Agriculture Future of America to encourage young people to go into farming because he believed it to be an integral component of the economy. This week, I noted that Burns and McDonnell placed an ad in the Business Section of the Tuesday, January 8, 2014, issue of the Kansas City Star to honor and thank Kemper for saving the company. Seems that back in 1985, the company was struggling financially and under threat of its parent company selling it off during an economic meltdown. The leadership learned about employee ownership and approached Kemper about a mortgage loan, which he personally authorized when no other banker would. Burns and McDonnell’s 650 employees became company owners and, in 1994, Kemper and B&D had a mortgage burning celebration. Today B&D boasts 4300 employees. Thanks to Kemper’s
vision and business savvy, generosity, determination, civic commitment, love of the arts, keen sense of potential, Kansas City is a much better place. My husband and I had the privilege of attending a dinner at the Webster House last Spring to honor the outgoing chair of the KC Symphony’s Board of Directors for 18 years, Shirley Helzberg. It was not a surprise that Crosby Kemper, Jr. was
in attendance. In reminiscing on the civic generosity, dedication and achievements of Kansas City’s notable families, the Kauffmans, Helzbergs, Blochs, etc., Kemper admitted that what drove him was that he “was tired of us (Kansas City) being looked down on.” To which this Raytowner took note.

Secretary Of State Unveils The 2013–2014 “Blue Book” Online
Jason Kander Secretary of State Jason Kander recently unveiled the 2013–2014 Official Manual, State of Missouri, commonly
known as the “Blue Book,” online at www. mobluebook.com. With contact information, biographies and overviews of department duties, the “Blue Book” serves as an important guide for Missourians seeking information about their state agencies and officials, county government and members of Congress. It is published every two years by the secretary of state. Because of a new
state law, the “Blue Book” moved to online publication in 2011. While the information remains just as helpful, the “Blue Book” is an important historical record best appreciated in its physical form. For that reason, Kander is striving to make the “Blue Book” available in print once more. The 69th edition of the volume was dedicated to the memory and work of President Harry S Truman and
the 60th anniversary of his leaving office. Additionally, the manual features an essay by University of Central Missouri professor and noted author Jon Taylor exploring the importance of Missouri to Truman’s life. The Secretary of States office launched a statewide photo contest back in July 2013 for the 2013-2014 Official Manual, State of Missouri Blue Book. Winning photographs are published with full credit to the photographer in the Blue Book. The theme was “Remembering Harry,” in honor of the only U.S. president from Missouri. Three of Truman’s well-known quotes were the inspiration of the photo contest’s categories: “Carry the battle to them” was to be

Tips To Support A Healthy Lifestyle Re-energize Your Wellness Routine If the decadent dishes and busy schedules of the holiday season have set back your efforts towards a healthy lifestyle, fear not. With the right plan in place, it’s easy to get back on track, re-energized and refocused for the year ahead. Shorter days and colder weather may seem to heighten the desire to indulge in comfort foods, just as much as it can lessen the motivation to take part in physical activity, like hitting the gym or taking an afternoon stroll. Health expert, author and registered dietitian, Patricia Bannan, shares a few simple changes to help re-charge your routine and get excited, no matter what the thermometer reads outside: Set realistic expectations If you haven’t been
running in months and plan to jump on the treadmill tomorrow, it’s important to take your new workout in stride. Having high aspirations for your health is
a wonderful thing, but there’s nothing wrong with starting small. Setting achievable goals such as jogging or walking for a certain amount of time each day - will

Tickets sell for $1.00 each or six for $5.00 and can be purchased from the museum from during operation Wednesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. The heirloom quilt pattern commemorates the 150th Anniversary of Order No. 11 issued by Union General Thomas Ewing on August 25, 1863.

help to keep you working toward the goal of running a10K in the long term. Buddy up By now you’ve likely commiserated with
friends about the lapse in your health and wellness goals. This is the perfect opportunity to ask someone to partner up in your healthy pursuits. Ask friends, family, neighbors or co-workers if they are interested in joining a gym, taking a boot camp class, or participating in a healthy cooking course. Supply your body with quality nutrition Beyond getting in your required fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, healthy fats and whole grains through a balanced diet, taking a high quality supplement can help bridge any nutrient gaps and help you get what your body may be lacking. Bannan recommends Vitamin B12 supplements to support cellular energy production by helping the body convert food into energy.† Swap out ingredients
Healthier alternatives exist for all of your favorite dishes. If you crave a hearty bowl of chili, switch out ground beef for a leaner variety of ground turkey. Use whole-grain pasta in your favorite Italian dishes or wholegrain breads for sandwiches. These changes are small, but can have a big impact on your overall nutrition when put into practice. By incorporating a few of these simple tips into your daily wellness routine, you’ll be on the path to a healthier new you. †This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
