Doctor Receives Gift Of Life And Reopens His Practice
Chiropractor Dr. Gary Boring was slowly dying of heart failure and given a 2% chance of survival. Doctors told him they couldn’t do anything for him.
“Find a heart if you can,” then patted him on the back on his way out the door. “I was turning purple and gasping for air. When God

humbles you so you cannot take a breath without Him giving it to you then you’re ready,” recalled Gary. He traveled to the renowned Mayo clinic in Minnesota where the head cardiologist told him to go back to Kansas City. “You’ll never get one here. The public there is better educated about donating organs so your chances are greater at St. Luke’s.” Gary learned that hearts are very hard to come by on the east and west coast but Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute has performed 600 heart transplants since it began its program in
1985. Doctors there determined that Gary was a good transplant candidate and three compatible hearts were available in 2011. “I had surgery 21 days later and they kicked me out in ten days,” laughed Gary. “They even let you see your old heart and show you what went wrong.” Gary’s wife, Sandy, remarked, “They can’t give you the donor’s name but we think Gary has a woman’s heart because the doctors told me after surgery that he’ll probably be doing more shopping now.” Gary sold his 39 year-old
practice a year later figuring it was time to retire and savor whatever years he had left. He bicycled 300 miles that summer, worked up to 50 lapses in the pool and got stronger and healthier. Then one day he ran into a former patient who greeted him with a big hug. “I realized then what had always kept me going. Loving on my patients and them loving on me,” said Gary. “I decided then what I was going to do the rest of my life with my Gift of Life and that was to pass it on by helping people. I decided to

By Kevin Carpenter We’ve just begun the new year, but the next academic year is still months away. Nonetheless, if you have a child who will be attending college in the fall, it’s not too soon to start thinking about what might be a vital component of paying for his or her higher education: financial aid. Specifically, to help ensure that your child doesn’t miss out on federal and state student grants, work-study and loans for the 2015-2016 school year, you’ll want to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid

FINANCIAL FOCUS Kids in College? Fill Out That FAFSA
(FAFSA) as soon as possible. (You can start the application process by visiting www. fafsa.ed.gov.) Even if you have a fair amount of financial assets, you should probably fill out a FAFSA. In the first place, all parents receive an “asset protection allowance,” based on the age of the older parent. For two-parent families, this allowance generally shelters between $25,000 and $50,000 in assets from FAFSA considerations; for single parents, the range is typically between $6,000 and $10,000. The allowance may be higher for parents 65 and older. Furthermore, in determining
your expected family contribution, FAFSA won’t look at your pension plan, your IRA or your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored retirement account. Those of your assets held outside retirement plans — the balances in your checking and savings accounts, CDs, investment real estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and so on — will be counted in the FAFSA calculations, but as a parent, you will only be expected to contribute up to 5.64 percent of these assets, as opposed to assets held in your child’s name, which are usually assessed at 20 percent.

State Farm Tax Abatement
The board of aldermen held a public meeting at its February 3, 2015, session to discuss an application for Chapter 353 tax abatement. The application comes from Sue Frank’s State Farm Insurance office on 63rd Street. Frank is in the process of making improvements to the building, with more planned. Because the property is in a
By Steve Bankston Raytown Tree Board Do you enjoy walking in the woods among the trees, in our Raytown parks or along our treelined streets in this community? If you do, then you are like me. I love trees and understand why they are important to our community, our health and our planet in general. For more than ten years I have served on the Raytown Tree Board, a volunteer group whose mission is to recommend and advise the local government and citizens of Raytown on issues related to tress found on public
blighted area, the city will consider providing the abatement as an economic incentive to encourage redevelopment. Alderman Janet Emerson said, “I’m pleased; it’s starting to look a lot better,” a sentiment that seemed supported by the rest of the board. Frank recently completed interior remodeling of the office, which was once held by her father’s insurance agen-
cy. The exterior improvements, including a new front facade, signage, and updates to the rear of the property, are expected to cost about $35,000. The tax abatement is for nearly $39,000 and will last for ten years, or whenever the initial investment by the applicant is recouped: whichever comes first. The aldermen will vote on the ordinance at their next session on February 20.
You may want to pay special attention to one particular asset — the 529 plan. A 529 plan is a popular college savings vehicle, and for a pretty good reason: The investment dollars you place in a 529 plan can grow taxdeferred, and withdrawals are free of federal and state taxes, provided the money is only used for higher education expenses. (The earnings portion of withdrawals used for other purposes may be fully taxable, and might incur a 10% penalty, as well.) Plus, your 529 plan contributions may be deductible on your state taxes. Like your other non-retirement assets, a 529
plan will be assessed at up to 5.64 percent for FAFSA purposes. Some families, seeking to totally keep their 529 plan assets out of aid calculations, ask the grandparents to own the account. This could be a problem, though, because while the grandparents’ 529 plan won’t be reported as an asset on FAFSA, withdrawals from the plan will be treated as untaxed income to the beneficiary (i.e., the grandchild) on the next year’s FAFSA — and that can have a big impact on financial aid, a much bigger impact, in fact, than if the 529 plan was listed as a parental asset. Consequently, you might
want to ask the grandparent to award ownership of the 529 plan to you. However, some state plans don’t allow this change, so the grandparent might have to transfer the money to a different state’s plan before giving up ownership. In any case, be aware of these issues when you tackle the FAFSA. And don’t delay in filling it out. Colleges have a closing date for accepting financial aid applications — and that’s one deadline you won’t want to miss. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

Bob and Delores Hope Our 20th Century Perfect Couple that Helped So Many Troops
Doctor continued from page 1 reopen my practice.” When asked what Sandy thought about this “crazy” idea, she replied, “I knew this is where he needs to be.” Gary renewed his license and they hired an architect and set about to remodel the building of his former practice at 12626 E. 40 Highway that they fortunately never sold. The results are stunning from the comfortable, beautifully furnished waiting room to the warm wood floors and calming earth-toned walls of the examination and treatment rooms. “We even put in a fireplace where we can roast s’mores,” said Gary with delight. “And we were able to get our old Raytown 353 prefix for our phone number.” Gary and Sandy Boring have restarted their business at a time when most folks are winding down but their joy and anticipation at the onset of this venture is more like that of a newlywed couple. Gary, who has never known anything but chiropractics, started working in his father’s practice that was founded in 1934 at 3927 Troost in Kansas City. “Back then we saw up to 100 people a day. The philosophy was high volume and working long hours to bring people relief. It’s no wonder my heart wore out with the stress of working at that pace. My father died at age 62,” recalled Gary. “We’re not working like that any more. We’re giving our new patients one and a half to two hours of our attention to fully evaluate and determine their level of degeneration.”

Gary eventually launched out on his own, authored two clinical books and discovered the value of the Atlas Orthogonal (A.O.) procedure. He incurred a neck injury in his twenties and suffered ten years of neck pain before discovering A.O. but had to fly to Atlanta for many years to get treatments. He decided to get the A.O. certification and for many years was the only one in the area who performed the specialized procedure. “We don’t crack necks like we used to,” explains Gary. “We use a non-invasive, 3-pound vibration that gently adjusts vertebras into alignment. X-rays prove out the results.” Gary also does presentations for the Gift of Life Donor program to educate the community about the urgent need for organ and tissue donation and allay apprehension about organ transplants. For more information, visit www.GiftDonor.org. Dr. Gary A. Boring Chiropractic is open Monday and Wednesdays from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Tuesday and Thurdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Call 816-353-1910 to make an appointment. Gary and Sandy welcome the public to their Open House on Sunday, February 15, 2015, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at 12626 E. 40 Highway.

Now, we go back into time when I first moved into my building on Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake. A wonderful, small community with folks who are just plain down-toearth, nice people. I felt so welcomed there by everyone. Across the street from my office was Honey-Baked Hams and the owner would bring lunch over with hot ham sandwiches and all the trimmings gratis, just being neighborly. She was always a great friend. Facing Riverside Drive from inside my building and to the right was Raymond Lendway, who had his hair salon for over thirty years. The reason I start out with this little story about my neighbor in Toluca Lake is because I’m trying to emphasize how wonderful Dolores and BOB HOPE were as down-to-earth and thoughtful people. I first met Dolores at my neighbor’s hair salon. He was cutting my hair and my nails were getting groomed early in the morning before 8:00 a.m. Sitting right next to me was Dolores who said, “I understand you know my husband Bob”? I said, “Yes, I just booked Bob into the Hollywood Palladium and my client LLOYD LINDROTH is the opening attraction with an 18-piece orchestra”. She said, “Oh I love the harp. Maybe I’ll come along with Bob since it is right in town.” More on
this next week. Well, that day spawned what would become a long, wonderful, exciting and warm relationship with one of America’s top comedians and his wife. We talked about when she first moved to Toluca Lake. They had built their main home on 5.15 acres in 1939. Dolores said, “I was just turning thirty and Bob was just turning 36 and we’d been married five years on February 19”. This was approximately May 1980 because Dolores said that they celebrated both their birthdays toward the end of May. Her birthday being May 27 and Bob’s, or Leslie Towns Hope, was on May 29. Right away she invited myself and guest along with Ray Lendway to come over to their place for a party. I was very excited and accepted because this was Bob Hope’s wife and I didn’t care what else was on my calendar. She said that formal invitations would be forthcoming. Sure enough, they arrived in my mail about four days later. So, we met right about May 15 or 16 because the invitation said to come at 6:00 p.m. to their home in Toluca Lake five days later. It turned out to be a double birthday blast. Dolores was a great hostess, all smiles and made sure everyone knew each other. She kept telling everyone, “This is the young gentleman talent agent who’s new here in town and who we keep reading about in Variety.” I made a lot of new friends that night. Back at the hair salon, I thought to myself, what a lovely lady. So cordial, diplomatic, mild-mannered and good-humored. Ray said while styling her hair, “Dolores, you know what year and month this is don’t you?” She replied, “No Ray, what’s so special about this year?“

Producer’s Corner continued from page 4 He explained, “I’ll have my apartments paid off to you on August 1. The building will finally be mine. I’m so excited. I have you to thank for my success”. The fact is that Ray had been doing hair with his salon in Toluca Lake for over thirty years already. In July of 1950, Dolores offered to finance a parcel of land just down the street for Ray without any interest if he would just make the payments and the deed remain in her and Bob’s name until it was paid off. Needless to say, Ray could hardly wait to give her that final payment check and the building would be all his. The parcel they purchased back in 1950 had a small apartment complex with six apartments. Over the thirty-year period Ray had taken extreme care to keep it up to Toluca Lake standards. He had enlarged the building, added six more
clothing and more. Goodbidding Thrift and Flea “Buy it for Good” is a fundraising store for charities that have teamed up with us. Friendly folks like you and neighboring businesses donate new and gently used (clean) items and we sell them at a lower price than many other stores and use the funds to help support charities such as Connecting for Good, Girl Scouts Troop 4027 and Our Lady of Peace with every dollar you spend. Our mission is to raise money for charities that offer assistance and better our neighborhoods. Not only do you get cool items at a great price,
apartments, four of which he could rent or lease out at better than $2200 per month. The other eight all went for the same price of $1500 a month. All the years I knew Ray and Dolores there never once was an empty apartment. He had folks filling out applications and waiting in line for an opening year after year. As philanthropists, both Dolores and Bob had collectively done so much for charity and helping out personal friends just like Ray. I thought it would be of interest to readers just to give one good example of how kind both were in this area.

Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’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 requirements 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.

Donald B. Beebe Donald B. Beebe, 94, passed away January 29, 2015. Donald was born January 16, 1921. He married Madalene Chancy in November of 1947. They shared 63 years of marriage together. She preceded him in death in 2010. He served proudly in the United States Army Air Corps. Donald was a member at the First Baptist Raytown Church. Throughout his life he was a Sunday School Teacher, a Training Union Leader and Deacon. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word: thoughtful, sensitive, devoted and cheerful. He always went the extra mile to give a hand or hug, or to pay a compliment to someone and to say thank you. Survivors include a son, Tim Beebe (Janet); daughter, Dana Iorio (Mark); four grandchildren, Ashley Kates, Justin Cottrell, Taylor Beebe and Shay Cottrell and two great grandchildren, Trey and Mason Kates. Visitation, service and burial took place February 3 at Floral Hills Funeral Home. Beatrice Doris Carter (Sveen) Beatrice Doris Carter (Sveen) Beatrice was born February 7, 1920, near Thompson IA, of parents Bert and Dena Sveen.

Obituaries
School in 1939. After school she worked as a maid and helped mothers with their newborn babies. In 1942, Bea went to El Segundo, CA to work at Douglas Aircraft. There she proudly became one of the famous “Rosie the Riveters,” helping arm our country for the war. Later she was a supervisor over a Navy fighter plane production line. Bea left California in May 1946 moving to Raytown, MO. She cared for her father, Bert, and was employed at Hallmark Cards, Singer Sewing Machine Co. In 1951, Bea started working for the Bendix Corporation where she was a supervisor over secure documents. She retired from Bendix in 1975. She married Harvey Carter in April of 1973 and acquired three stepchildren. Prior to that time, Bea had always said, “If I ever get married; He will be tall, blond and smoke a pipe.” Harvey was her man for over 41 years. Bea loved to travel. She and Harvey went to all 50 United States and visited five continents. She documented these travels in 50 photo albums! When not on the road, Bea loved to fish and garden with Harvey. Bea had a special passion for raising roses and sewing. Many relatives received quilts and multiple churches have banners in their sanctuaries. Hundreds of hours of her life were well spent volunteering with the Metropolitan Lutheran Ministries - Christmas Store, the Cancer Society making bed pads and Children’s Mercy Hospital making baby blan-
kets. Beatrice was known for giving and receiving hugs, loving to be with all kinds of people. She was a neighborhood mother to many children; removing slivers, treating sunburns and handing out band aids. She made snow angels with anyone willing to lie down in the fluff. She always kept M&Ms in her home, as well as many baked goods. Beatrice remained an active member of the Overland Park Lutheran Church until she could no longer drive. She recently told her loved ones, “I have had a good life and I am ready to meet my maker.” The world lost a dear wife, caring stepmother, dedicated volunteer and good Norwegian. She passed from this life to her eternity in the early hours February 1, 2015. She is survived by her husband, Harvey Carter, stepchildren, Michael Carter (Sue) Broomfield, CO; Janette Brady (Jerry) Augusta, KS; Katherine Carter of Kansas City; grandson, G.

Easy, Delicious Meals That Make Hearts Happy Did you know that small, positive additions to your diet and lifestyle can help promote a healthier heart? Instead of denying yourself the delicious flavors you crave, try weaving a few subtle changes into your menu and you can healthfully and conveniently meet your wellness goals. Show your heart some love Besides giving meals a satisfying boost, soy-based foods are a heart-healthy addition to your diet. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a diet containing 25 grams of soy protein per day, accompanying other foods that are low in saturated fats and cholesterol, may decrease the chance of heart disease.
“Soy protein is a very high quality protein, equivalent to egg or milk protein,” said Mindy Kurzer, Ph.D. and professor with the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at the University of Minnesota. “Soyfoods, such as soymilk, have been shown to lower dietary cholesterol and saturated fat, decreasing blood cholesterol concentrations and improving heart health.”

Cardinals Fly By Bulldogs Hanine Alhaydar Raytown High School Brian Lee Reporter The 11-7 Ray-South Cardinals Boys Varsity Basketball Team had an impressive win beating the then 8-9 Grandview Bulldogs this past Tuesday. Jumping out of the gate quick, Ray-South scored the first six points of the game and had an 18-4 lead by the end of the 1st quarter. In the 2nd quarter, Grandview were able to pull even in scoring with 22 points but still found themselves trailing by 14. It was the 3rd quarter where Ray-South really began pulling away scoring 18 more points than Grandview. By
mid second-half Ray-South was able to let more of their back-up players get in on the action letting them finish out the game for an 82-47 victory against a not too shabby Grandview team. What is really impressive about the win is that 9 different players contributed to scoring and 3 of those players each scored 20 or more points! Not only that, RaySouth broke season game highs in team scoring with 82,
defensive rebounds with 27, a whopping total rebounds of 36, an amazing 26 assists, and tied a season high of 10 steals to boot. While the Cardinals had a higher amount of turnovers than usual with 11, it is hard to lose when you shoot 73% from the field! Also, a new season-high surpassing the 65% made against Lee’s Summit West back in December. It is good to see the team playing solid team basketball as we finish the final leg of the season. Next game is Friday, February 13, at home when RaySouth has a chance to settle the score against conferenceleading Belton who edged them out with a 62-61 victory last week.
This past Wednesday, February 4, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. at the pristine indoor gymnasium of Archbishop O’Hara High School, four student athletes signed their written commitments to their respective schools before a large crowd of zealous supporters. Female soccer player, Hayley White, has committed to play for the Cardinals of William Jewell College. Nina Gavoli, who was not present, has committed to play for the Yellowjackets of Graceland University. Three male student athletes, Michael Briggs, Zach Drake and Gerard Harker committed to play football
at the same school, Missouri State University, which of course begs the question: why are they all going to the same school? As Principal and Athletic Director John O’Connor explained, originally Harker had already been scouted by Missouri State. The iron-man player was both a running back and cornerback and intends on playing corner at the collegiate level. Drake

highly scouted by many schools to play kicker, also doubled as a wide receiver. Missouri State is offering him the opportunity to do both. Quarterback Briggs did not, however, double at any other position, but is also a highly touted baseball player with the possibility of even being drafted for the MLB this coming summer. According to his father, Paul Briggs, Michael is wishing to pursue football first and Missouri State is giving him an opportunity to play, which is all you can ask for in the highly competitive world of football. Baseball is not out of the question though depending on how the draft turns out.
