Five Free Movies In The Park This Summer On state-of-the-art equipment
By Robert Smith President of Friends of Raytown Parks As I sit here and write this article, I look out the window and see the snow falling and they say we will have 10 inches by this evening. Anyway that just makes it seem all the better to think ahead to this summer. Thanks to the Friends of Raytown Parks
(FORP) and a grant from Truman Heartland Community Foundation there will
be FIVE Movies in the Park this summer. FORP has purchased a 16-foot screen and projection and sound equipment so Parks will not have to hire a company to provide the equipment and show the movies. Mark your calendar and join us for Movies in the Park at C. Lee Kenagy Park at 79th Street and Raytown Road on May 16, June 13, July 11, Au-
gust 15 and September 5. All movies will begin at dusk. Businesses have the opportunity to advertise by sponsoring a movie. Sponsorship acknowledgement can be in several different venues. Businesses can call Parks at 816-358-4100 for details. The Friends of Raytown Parks and Recreation, Inc. is a non-profit organization that was founded in 2007. FORP was organized exclusively to create a partnership with the Raytown Parks & Recreation Board for fund raising and to foster and promote public awareness of parks, open spaces and recreational activities, services and resources for the public. Unlike Parks, FORP is a separate organization from the city and its Board of Trustees are stakeholders. The FORP works in partnership with Raytown Parks Dept. to assist with many activities throughout the year, such as the Annual Fishing
MOVIE DATES May 16 June 13 July 11 August 15 September 5
The Raytown Parks and Recreation’s new 16-foot SilverScreen Showcase Series outdoor theater system will bring movies to life in Kenagy Park

O’Hara Winners Of Student Essay Contest Congratulations to the following junior students at O’Hara High School whose essays were selected as winners in the Knights of Columbus Essay Contest. Nina Gavoli (1st place), Jordan Wilcoxson (2nd place) and Katie Tyler (3rd place). The essay this year was expanded to include all Catholic students in 8th grade through 12th grade. This year the theme of the essay contest was “The Importance of Religious Freedom.” The students were encouraged to discuss the challenges faced in this area, the importance of religious freedom, and the idea of the Catholic in the public square. Great job to these students and the many others who submitted their essays across the country. All 3 students are residents

Raytown Police Announce Implementation Of Youth Court Program The Raytown Police have implemented their Youth Court program. The Raytown Youth Court will process cases involving first time, misdemeanor, juvenile offenders. The local youth court will reduce the number of referrals to Jackson County Family Court, which will allow that court to focus on more serious crimes. The Youth Court is a diversion program that is vetted and endorsed by Family Court. The program is peer-based. Offending juveniles will have an opportunity to be judged by their peers, using the power of positive peer pressure. Raytown Youth Court mirrors the judicial system, in that there will be a judge,
prosecuting attorney, defense attorney, court clerk, and bailiff. Those roles are staffed by trained, juvenile volunteers. A group of those volunteers have recently graduated from the training program. Not only is the program valuable to the offender, but to the participants as well. Volunteers get the opportunity to see firsthand, on a smaller scale, how our judicial system works in the United States of America.

Decorated Raytown Police K-9 Dies
On Wednesday, 0129-2014, retired Raytown Police K-9 “Aik” was euthanized at a Raytown veterinarian clinic, due to deteriorating health. Aik von der BergerRanch, “Aik,” a German Shepherd, was born on November 2nd, 2001, in Jena, Germany, in a litter of 9 pups. In March of 2003, he came to the United States to begin his training as a Police K-9. Aik was trained in narcotic detection, building search, obedience, aggression control, and article search. Aik began his service with the Raytown Police Department on
August 27, 2003. The next day, Aik and his handler, Michael Klein, assisted the Jackson County Drug Task Force, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and the Drug Enforcement Agency, in detecting 185 pounds of marijuana, which was hidden in a crate of items bound for Kansas City. The marijuana had an estimated street value of $120,000. Aik worked alongside patrol officers in Raytown and surrounding cities and counties. He assisted many city, state, and federal agencies, including schools, with
narcotics detections and other duties. He participated in many public demonstrations within Raytown and across the Kansas City metro area. Aik received the Raytown Police Department’s Distinguished Service Award in December of 2006, in recognition of his performance above and beyond his duties. K-9 Handler Michael Klein retained possession of Aik, when he was decommissioned from department service in February of 2010, which was customary. Aik was surrounded by friends and family when he died.
Herndon Career Center Working With Harvesters
In November of 2013, the Herndon Career Center (HCC) chapter of the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) began working with Harvesters, a community food bank in Kansas City, Missouri, to help families who struggle with the issue of hunger. During the weeks before Thanksgiving,
the chapter held a food drive and collected more than 280 pounds of food, generating over 200 meals to be served during the Thanksgiving holiday. “Working with Harvesters has been a wonderful experience for our students,” FCCLA Advisor Rochelle Netten said. “We look forward to continuing this relationship through-
out the years.” In addition to donating food, the students volunteered at Harvesters to help with Backpack Snacks, a program that provides 19,000 snacks to children each weekend. On January 25, 2014 HCC’s chapter prepared, packed, and boxed, 1,870 backpack snacks.

City Administrator’s Report: Public Works Update By Mahesh Sharma City Administrator The White Oak West Line A Sanitary Sewer Construction Project continues in the 83rd
Street & Elm area. The boring contractor completed the bore underneath the creek south of 83rd Street. Next, they will bore the sanitary sewer main underneath
83rd Street and the creek just to the south of the street. Missouri Gas Energy continues to relocate their gas mains in the Gregory Heights sub-
division this week. This work is planned to last through the spring. Google Fiber has obtained 132 Right-of-Way permits this past week. Permit requests and Mis-
souri One Call locate requests continue to pour in. The 12 “fiberhoods” highlighted in the map on page 2 are planned to be constructed within the next few months.
This work will not include connecting homes to their internet and television service; this will come later in the year.
bility for eligible Missouri voters who want to participate in our democracy. “I am committed to ensuring that all eligible Missourians have the opportunity to cast a ballot, and since you can’t vote unless you’re registered, we decided to do what we could to simplify the process and make it more convenient for voters,” Kander said. “Now, Missourians will have the opportunity to fill out their registration form in one step from their homes, instead of multiple steps at different locations.” The new online tool will allow eligible Mis-
sourians to fill out their voter registration form for the first time or change their registration address. Once the voter completes and signs the form on a computer, tablet or smartphone, Kander’s office will print and mail the form to the voter’s local election authority. This online tool is similar to one implemented by Boone County earlier this year. “I am pleased that we have developed a way to make this process more convenient for voters, while not changing the procedure or adding additional burdens for local election authorities,” Kan-
der said. After receiving the registration information submitted online, the Elections Division of Kander’s office will conduct a preliminary review of each form before mailing the printed form to the appropriate local election authority. The local election authority will then carry out its normal procedures, reviewing each registration form for completeness and validity, before notifying applicants of their registration status. “The ability to fill out a registration form online will make registering to vote more convenient for Missou-
rians.” said Camden County Clerk Rowland Todd, a Republican and the former president of the Missouri Association of County Clerks and Election Authorities. “From the perspective of local election authorities, the process of registering voters is not changing. What is changing is the voter’s experience, which will be modernized and simplified.” “We’re pleased to partner with Secretary Kander in making it more accessible and convenient for eligible Missourians to fill out their voter registration forms online,” said Phelps County Clerk
Carol Bennett, a Democrat. “The public can pay their taxes, renew their license plates and utilize countless other government services over the Internet. They deserve the same level of convenience and security with voter registration.” Fifteen other states, including Indiana and Kansas, use online tools to make it more convenient for voters to register—ranging from online registration to filling out forms online, as is now possible in Missouri. An additional five states, including Georgia and West Virginia, are developing similar online tools.

Committee Work Continues
Several of my legislative committees met this week to hear testimony on bills ranging from continuity in coverage of chemotherapy medications to addressing accreditation and student transfers in school districts across the state. On Tuesday, the Senate Small Business, Insurance and Industry Committee held hearings on two bills relating to insurance companies covering chemotherapy treatments. Currently, there are different outof-pocket costs for oral and intravenously administered chemotherapy medications, which often result in higher payments for treatments taken by mouth rather than through an injection. Senate Bill 663 and

Why A Charter Form Of Government Is Needed To Move Raytown Forward
like the United States Constitution directs the federal government. A Charter empowers local citizens by giving them a greater voice in municipal affairs which can lead to improved fiscal responsibility and more citizen autonomy. Raytown is one of the largest cities in Missouri still without a Charter. Currently, Raytown is considered a “4th Class City” under Missouri state statutes. These statutes dictate and determine many aspects of our community, from what we can vote and petition on, to our ability to amend our current government.
Being under these statutes also poses additional concerns in regards to the efficient use of our city staff resources. The current system requires frequent requests for permission to the state legislature whenever the city wishes to act outside of a statute. A Charter form of government can allow for a more productive relationship with Jefferson City by saving both time and money, by streamlining the current bureaucratic process. Some may ask, “Why is a Charter form of government necessary?” or “How would a Charter
government be a positive influence in Raytown?” A Charter form of government would give our citizens more of an influence over the policies our City Hall employs, by facilitating an avenue to create more choices in how we wish to govern ourselves. Examples of such are, but not limited to having the ability to implement new measures such as referendum or initiative. If our community deems it necessary, these types of measures could be written within the Charter itself or established through a created amendment process in which voters
decide. With a Charter, we as voters would have more of a voice in promoting whatever our community wishes to value. Most other major communities have seen the value of establishing a Charter form of government for these specific reasons. The alternative would be to continue to allow the State Legislature to make many of these decisions and determine which democratic choices we should have. Continuing to allow this would be surrendering local autonomy and many of our basic democratic rights.
We deserve better than the status quo. We deserve an opportunity to enhance our choices in government and how we live our lives. I believe a Charter can help facilitate these goals, by providing us with greater command over how we operate our city and in determining where we want to see our city tomorrow. Jason Greene is an educator and coach in the Raytown community. Last April, he was elected to serve as Alderman, representing Ward II. He is also seeking a seat to the Charter Commission on the April 8th ballot.
Senate Bill 668 would require insurance companies that already offer coverage for both treatment options to require the same out-of-pocket costs for each. The measures also prohibit raising the out-of-pocket costs for drugs administered by injection. I served on the Missouri Oral Chemotherapy Parity Interim Committee, created by legislation I sponsored last year (Senate Bill 262) that was signed into law by the governor. When patients undergo chemotherapy, they should not have to add to their list of worries the cost of pills versus treatment injections. We were responsible for studying the disparity in patient co-payments between orally and intravenously administered chemotherapy drugs, the reasons for the disparity, and the patient benefits in establishing co-payment parity between these methods of treatment. One of the legislative recommendations issued by the interim committee was to introduce similar legislation this session, which is similar to the bills already filed and heard in committee this week.
ing, I sat alongside Mr. John M. Miles of Kansas City before members of the Senate Gubernatorial Appointments Committee in support of his
gripping our students’ education future. As we continue our discussion in committee on these bills, I look forward to the opportunity of tak-
garding this statewide issue this session. It’s important during this process to consider all proposals relating to our students’ education and encourage dialogue on behalf of our their future. The Senate Appropriations Committee will continue its work next week taking public testimony from 18 government departments and offices. This is a vital part of the appropriations process to determine how much funding is allocated to each program and service provided by our state. As a member of this committee, we will spend several weeks considering funding requests before the appropriations bills move through the House and then on to the Senate. This week I had the opportunity to introduce Mr. Bob Kendrick, Director of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, as a special guest on the Senate floor. The museum was recently included on the list of top 50 spots for 50 states released by cable news network CNN. I am always honored to introduce citizens from the 9th District to my colleagues in the Senate Chamber and meet with them at the State Capitol. If you plan to visit Jefferson City and stop
by our Capitol, please let me know.

I was honored to sponsor Mr. Miles appointment, which was confirmed by the full Senate this week. Last week the Senate Education Committee heard testimony on five bills sponsored by St. Louis-area senators that all tackle the school accreditation and student transfer issue that is

This same committee held a hearing this Wednesday on Senate Bill 493, which also addresses school accreditation and student transfers. In addition, this measure creates a statewide achievement school district, which would transfer underperforming schools located in unaccredited school districts to the jurisdiction of the achieving district responsible for administering and overseeing them. This measure is hardly the first and won’t be the last that we consider re-

How To Do Your Federal Taxes For Free
Looking to save money and time when it comes to taxes? There’s a simple way to do your federal taxes, and it’s all for free. The program, called “Free File” does the hard work for you, either through brandname software or online fillable forms. And, it’s available only at IRS.gov. Free File is offered through the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by 14 of the nation’s leading tax software manufacturers. Nearly 40 million people have used this helpful program, and using the most conservative estimate, they’ve save $1.2 billion in fees. It’s available 24/7, giving you the freedom to decide when and how to do your federal taxes. Plus, the software is user-friendly, offering a familiar Q&A format and the freedom to complete your return at your own pace.
How To Sign Up
Here’s how to start: • Go to www.irs. gov/freefile • If your income was $58,000 or less, select the “Start Free File Now” button. • Each of the 14 participating companies has a special offer. • Review the company offers or use the “help me find Free File software” tool.
• Select your tax software that matches you situation. • Leave IRS.gov and go to the company’s site to begin your taxes. If your income was more than $58,000, you can use Free File Fillable Forms, the electronic version of IRS paper forms. Just select the “Free Fillable Forms” button at www.irs.gov/ freefile. This version is best if you are comfortable preparing you own tax return with more limited help. Remember to always use e-file to file your returns electronically. You’ll get your refund

Ice Fishing Workshop Offered At Mozingo Lake The cold winter weather offers a benefit to anglers with cabin fever – the chance to go ice fishing. Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) biologists will offer an ice fishing workshop 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, Feb. 8, at Mozingo Lake east of Maryville, Mo. The workshop is free. When prolonged cold creates safe ice, anglers can catch bluegill, crappie and largemouth bass, said Tory Mason, an MDC fisher-
ies management biologist. Holes are drilled in the ice and anglers entice fish with small jigs or natural bait such as wax worms.
“We’ll show people at the workshop various techniques for ice fishing and what kind
of gear they can use,” Mason said. MDC staff will also provide participants with bait and tackle as long as supplies last. Holes in the ice will be drilled ahead of the workshop. All participants will need to bring is plenty of warm clothing. Sub-freezing temperatures are predicted for Saturday. Those attending are asked to pre-register for the workshop. That enables MDC staff to ensure plenty of gear and

the number of holes needed in the ice. Also, should weather prompt a postponement, staff will contact those registered. For information or to register call 816271-3100. Mozingo Lake is about four miles east of Maryville off U.S. 136. The workshop will be held at the main boat ramp. Attendees should follow signs directing them to the main boat ramp.
