The City Of Raytown Launches New Community Engagement Site The City is Asking for Your Thoughts, Opinions, and Ideas The City of Raytown launched Engage Raytown!, a new comprehensive community engagement website where citizens can engage, communicate and collaborate with community decision makers and other residents on the future of our community. The mobile friendly site is located at raytownmo. mindmixer.com and its link will also be available on the city’s website at www.raytown.mo.us, Facebook page, www.facebook.

com/cityofraytown and Twitter account www.twitter.com/ cityofraytown.

The goal of Engage Raytown! is to involve the community in the planning process. The site’s interactive and accessible new platform will be the online tool to generate new ideas and feedback from Raytown residents and businesses on a variety of projects that will be used by the Mayor, Board of Aldermen and City staff.

“We know that our residents lead busy lives and just don’t have the time or energy to come out to a meeting or to be engaged with the city on a regular basis,” said Mahesh Sharma, City Administrator. “This tool allows access to decision makers when you want to interact and on your schedule.”

New questions, polls and surveys will be posted regularly.

The discussion will start with these topics:

Engage Raytown! asked for photos of what winter looks like in your neighborhood and this photo was shared

• What is the most important aspect of the character of Raytown?

• What do you feel is the main source of crime in Raytown?

• Would you visit/attend SuperSplash USA more often if there were new attractions?

• How do you get your information about the City? (survey) Engage Raytown! gives citizen contributors a chance to share new ideas, second others’ ideas, expand upon existing ideas and give feedback on initiatives,

working with community leaders and decision makers on a variety of topics online anytime, anywhere.

“Our mission is to build community contributors, ideas, voices and perspectives that are shared to facilitate deeper and better conversations that yield actionable insights and a stronger community,” said Mayor David Bower.

The City wants to hear from you. Join the conversation.

Bluejays Win Suburban Conference White The Bluejays won the Suburban White Conference title outright after defeating the William Chrisman Bears, 86-64.

It was the first league title for Raytown (19-6, 11-1) since 20072008. The Bluejays bolted ahead during the second quarter Friday

leading 24-21, they ripped off a 17-4 run and went on to lead 45-27 at halftime. They kept it a double-digit ballgame during the second half.

Winning the title has been a season-long goal, Buford reportedly said. Conference

championship matters even in a basketball world where every high school team plays in the postseason.

“To come out here this year and win a conference title after going 6-17 last year just shows how much that they wanted

to change,” Buford said and he hopes the Bluejays won’t

be content with being league champions.

Jackson County Unveiled Design Of Truman Courthouse Time Capsule Mural Created By MyARTS Students The word “capsule” doesn’t exactly have a lot of eye-appeal. One hears it and usually doesn’t envision anything fancy.

Thanks to five students in Jackson County’s MyARTS program the Historic Truman Courthouse time capsule should be catching people’s eyes for the next 80 years -- until the capsule, which will be sealed May 10, is opened in September 2093.

The five young artists, from three different Independence-area high schools, have adorned the capsule with a mural depicting two United States Presidents, the recently restored Truman Courthouse, the Community of Christ Temple in Independence, the county seal, and a clock with Roman numerals representing the decades, not hours, that will past between now

and 2093. The two Presidents have direct ties to Jackson County: Harry S. Truman, the county’s Presiding Judge in the 1930s, and Andrew Jackson, the man for whom the county was named. (Jackson occupied the Oval Office when the Missouri State Legislature authorized forming the “County of Jackson” in 1826.)

Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders, County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker and Independence Mayor Don Reimal joined the artists in unveiling their creation during a special presentation Tuesday, February 25 at the MyARTS Center in Independence. The Jackson County COMBAT program funds MyARTS. The County Prosecutor’s Office oversees the program, which provides atContinued on page 7

BOA Approves Funds For Police Vehicle Data Terminals Council of Aging, Human Relations Committee Accepting Applications

By Mallory Ragon The Raytown Board of Aldermen had a light agenda at their March 4 session. They unanimously approved a purchase authorization of mobile data terminals for police department vehicles. The equipment to be replaced was purchased in 2008. This purchase is the first round of

equipment purchases in the replacement schedule, with a cost not to exceed $31,392.

The board also unanimously approved the spending of additional funds required for the White Oak West sewer improvement project. The added $12,910 will replace a manhole and extend the life of a culvert there, by reinforcing the bot-

tom of an eroding pipe with concrete. Andy Noll, public works director, admitted that further change orders may be required for the project, but that none were anticipated.

“So far the contractor has been really good to work with,” Noll said, assuring the council that extra spending would only be required if absolutely necessary.

Alderman Mock noted that the Council on Aging has an upcoming meeting on March 20. They are accepting applications for the board. If you are interested in this opportunity, hard copies of the application are available at city hall. You may also apply online on the city’s website.

Alderman Emerson announced that the human re-

lations committee is also accepting applications. If you are interested in serving on the committee, you can apply at City Hall.

Many board members took time out of the 17-minute meeting to praise the public works department for another round of effective snow removal efforts. Mayor Bower noted the attention

Raytown has gotten this winter for their prompt and thorough clearing of streets. Alderman Creamer referenced a YouTube video in which the Lee’s Summit City Council grilled their own public works director about how their snow removal could be improved, citing Raytown as an area success.

During times of weather

emergencies, including extreme temperatures and storms, the Raytown Police will activate the program.

Department members will try to make contact with those registered in the pro-

gram, either by phone or at their residence, to check their welfare and offer any assistance.

plication. Applications may be obtained in person at Police Headquarters, by phone request at 816-737-6124, or online, at http://photos.raytownpolice.org/H.E.A.R.%20 Brochure.pdf.

Raytown Police Activates H.E.A.R. Program Due To Cold Temperatures Suicidal Raytown Man Killed By St. Charles County Deputies

A 21-year-old Raytown, Missouri man who was threatening to harm himself was shot and killed over the weekend by deputies with the St.

Charles County Sheriff’s Department.

According to Lt. David Tiefenbrunn, a spokesman for the sheriff’s department, the

incident happened Saturday, March 1 at a home in the 2000 block of Old Highway 79, O’Fallon, Missouri.

Authorities were told a

man was intoxicated in the home, armed with a handgun, and threatening to kill himself.

Deputies were positioned in the hallway of the residence

when the man, identified as Anthony Kovac, walked out of a rear bedroom and pointed the handgun at a deputy. Fearing for his life, that deputy

opened fire and struck Kovac.

Kovac was taken to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Lake St. Louis where he later died, Tiefenbrunn said.

Missouri Has Backlog Of Medicaid Applications

OPINION tive participant in the Raytown community. To gain more insight on my background, I would invite you to view my Linked In account at http://www.linkedin.com/in/charlottemelson/.

During my 15 years as a Raytown Alderman for Ward 3, I have been honored to represent the residents of Raytown on a variety of issues and decisions. I come to this election with a vast amount of experience on the charter process that can be beneficial to the writing of a simple document. My goal is to create a simple document that follows protocol, is well documented and in the end it is presented to the voters in a clearly understandable form that has been agreed upon by the majority of the commissioners.

|

Recently there have been requests to write and explain what your ‘agenda’ is for running as a Charter Commissioner. My ‘agenda’ is simple, I don’t have one.

Never have had an agenda and don’t plan on starting now. My bottom line has always been to do what is in the best interest of the Raytown residents by listening and asking questions and will continue to be. I want to assist in the writing and be able to send to the voters in 2015 a clear, understandable charter document.

If you have any questions or require any additional information, please contact me at chars1@swbell.net. I would appreciate your vote on April 8, 2014 for Raytown Charter Commissioner.

Charlotte Melson

Missouri Department of Social Services has a backlog of about 22,000 parents and children waiting to learn whether or not they will be approved for coverage by Medicaid. The huge backlog is largely due to the agency’s changeover to a new computer system in January that affects only parents and

children applicants. Acting Department Director Brian Kinkade reported that he is very sensitive to the needs of families seeking Medicaid coverage and that the new system will eventually be more efficient.

The backlog is in addition to the thousands of Medicaid applications that typically

are pending each month. The agency has not yet shifted disabled and senior applicants to the new computer system. Kinkade said the delay was exacerbated because the computer system migration took place during the same time the agency was reorganizing its offices.

Missouri Senate Passes Student Transfer Bill In Less Than 24 Hours

By Marshall Griffin St. Louis Public Radio After spending two days debating and amending legislation to lessen the effects of Missouri’s student transfer law, the state Senate overwhelmingly passed it Thursday.

The final vote was 27-5, with senators from both parties supporting it. The five “no” votes came from both parties as well: Minority Floor Leader Jolie Justus, DCallaway County (but who lives in Kansas City), Jason Holsman, D-Kansas City, Will Kraus, R-Lee’s Summit, Paul LeVota, D-Independence, and Doug Libla, RPoplar Bluff. Senate Bill 493 is now in the hands of the Missouri House. That chamber’s version is sponsored by state Rep. Rick Stream, RKirkwood.

“There are 23 school districts (in Missouri) now that are provisionally accredited, some of them at 50 percent

-- if they slip 1/2 of a point (then) they’re in unaccredited status,” Stream said. “We need to address the whole picture of why these school districts are failing, but at the same time immediately give kids and their parents access to a high quality education.”

Stream’s bill, HB 1868, received its first hearing Thursday afternoon before the House Committee on Elementary and Secondary Education.

Legislation designed to soften the blow of Missouri’s student transfer law received first-round approval in the State Senate

Previously, Senate members spent more than 12 hours spread out over two days working on the wideranging bill. Senate Bill 493 would allow for accrediting individual school buildings instead of just districts as a whole and create regional

authorities to handle transfers.

As originally written in the bill, an entire district could not lose its accreditation unless 65 percent or more of its schools became unaccredited.

That was changed Wednesday night to 55 percent in one of 22 amendments added to the measure this week. Another would bar a school district from losing accreditation if there’s a vacancy on the State Board of Education from the same congressional district as the unaccredited school.

That amendment was sponsored by state Sen. Kiki Curls, D-Kansas City.

“A lot of decisions were being made on behalf of the Kansas City, Mo., school district at a time that we did not have a DESE representative on the state board,” Curls said. “That’s not to say that there are not other members who, of course, would have acted on behalf of the school district, but certainly my

constituents would have felt a lot more comfortable had they had adequate representation.”

The bill still contains language allowing students to leave failing public schools for private, non-sectarian ones, but some of the approved amendments would regulate those particular transfers. For instance, students who want to transfer to a private school must have first attended an unaccredited school for at least one full school year and must have lived in an unaccredited school district for at least 12 months. The private school in question must be accredited and must provide English and math assessment testing to students transferring from public schools.

Senate Bill 493 was approved on a voice vote, with state Sen. Jason Holsman, D-Kansas City, loudly voting “no.” Holsman initially supported it until the private school language was added

on last week. The bill’s sponsor, Sen. David Pearce, RWarrensburg, said afterward that he’s not exactly pleased with every part of the bill, either.

“It’s so important that we get it out of the Senate and move it on to the House for their consideration,” Pearce told reporters. “If we wait until everyone likes the bill, we’ll never get legislation passed.”

Pearce says he expects the full Senate to vote again on the measure next week. After that, the student transfer bill would go to the Missouri House, where earlier this session House Speaker Tim Jones, R-Eureka, had stated that the issue was not a high priority for him.

“This (student transfer) law was passed with great foresight by a Democratically controlled General Assembly many, many years ago,” Jones said on Jan. 8th.

“I applaud their foresight... for the first time in nearly 40

years, kids have an opportunity to escape the failing districts that they have been consigned to because of their zip codes.”

On Thursday, though, Jones said his full statement on the issue had not been accurately characterized, adding: “My priority is to make sure that every child in the state of Missouri has access to a great education, no matter which zip code they live in...solving the transfer issue has always been a priority of mine.”

It is definitely a high priority for House Budget chair Rick Stream of Kirkwood, whose hometown school district is one of the receiving districts for transfers. Also, House Elementary and Secondary Education Committee chair Steve Cookson, RFairdealing, told the Kansas City Star that he’s confident a student transfer bill will make it to Gov. Jay Nixon’s desk this session.

Get Outdoors With Discover Nature Women’s Spring Workshop How about a warm thought as winter lingers, such as a fling outdoors in late April when turkeys gobble, woodland wildflowers bloom and fish are biting?

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) is offering a chance for women to enjoy a spring weekend afield and learn year-round outdoor skills. A Discover Nature Women’s Spring Workshop will be offered Friday through Sunday, April 25 to 27, at the Lake Doniphan Conference and Retreat Center at Excelsior Springs, Mo. Women from the MDC staff and expert volunteers will teach outdoor skills such as archery, canoeing, outdoor cooking, using GPS gear, map and compass reading and other activities. MDC will provide gear and handson training for beginners, those who wish to sharpen existing skills or those who

just want to enjoy an outdoor retreat. The workshop will offer a safe and friendly environment for women to learn and have fun with outdoor skills, Lisa LaCombe, workshop organizer and manager at MDC’s Burr Oak Woods Nature Center in Blue Springs.

Participants can tailor ac-

tivities to their interests and skills levels. For example, basic target archery shooting with bow and arrows will be taught. But also instructors will teach how to choose the proper gear that fits the archer, practice tips and how

to get started in the sport of bow hunting.

In the canoeing segment, participants will be taught various paddle strokes, safety, water rescue and how to plan a canoe trip on a river.

“We’ll enable them to get down any river in Missouri,” LaCombe said.

Campfire cooking will be taught, such as fixing food in a Dutch oven or in aluminum foil placed on hot coals.

“But we’ll also teach them about wild edibles,” she said, “and we’ll have edible wild plants there for them to identify and sample.”

Basic fishing skills will be taught from catching fish to how to prepare them for the table. For those who are interested in backpacking, a session will include a short overnight hike and campout.

Workshop instruction is free. However, Lake Doniphan does charge for lodging arrangements and meals.

“Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”

Pain Doctor Discovers Blood Flow-Busting Material Into ‘Miracle Socks’ for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers!

Breakthrough circulation-boosting fibers improve blood flow, relieve swelling, boost oxygen flow, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally in as little as 5 minutes!

t What part of your swollen, tired, or achy feet would you like to see ‘go-away’?

If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued and sore, then read on to discover the breakthrough that can change your life.

Good news comes in the form of a ‘painbusting microfiber’ that is used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM. Better Blood Flow The ‘miracle sock’ is made from a new, patented anion-technology that is weaved into every strand of thread used to make a BambusaTM sock. This revolutionary bamboo charcoal helps stimulate blood flow and revitalize feet.

The 3D-weave technology used in the material has been compared to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The manufacturer, who also makes a back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief to any part of the body it touches, making it ideal for diabetics, athletes, inflammation, stiffness and swelling.

Doctor Recommended Pain specialist of 30 years, Dr. Jahner comments on the 3D-weave technology. “Infrared therapy has been used for years at medical clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions.

Physical therapists use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals less pain. This microfiber works much the same way.”

"Circulatory dysfunction affects MOST of the adult population in the United States.

Heart Disease, Strokes and Diabetic conditions are at epidemic levels; anything that improves circulation improves cellular health and vitality. I use the Bambusa product myself and recommend it to my clients. It really works!” states Dr Jahner.

Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks because they don’t restrict blood flow. Utilizing the special negative-anion technology, they comfortably increase blood flow and oxygen to tissues.

“My feet felt wonderful, cool, and I never got that pins and needles feeling anymore. I love my BambusaTM socks,” says Nancy, from NJ. They are ideal for diabetics and those suffering from neuropathy or injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on their feet.
