MoDOT Launches Pothole Patrol
Report a Pothole By Phone, Online or Your Smart Phone/Tablet The Missouri Department of Transportation kicked off an enhanced pothole repair initiative this week throughout the state. Through the rest of the month of March, maintenance crews are committed to repair potholes within 24 hours after reported. MoDOT will aggressively respond and patch potholes to keep highways smooth and safe for Missouri motor-
ists. “Our goal is to have potholes repaired as quickly as possible, and by the time you drive the same location a day later it should be repaired,” said MoDOT Kansas City District Engineer Dan Niec. “We know our aging infrastructure is prone to potholes this time of year and we are making every effort to keep our roads as safe and smooth
as possible.” MoDOT encourages motorists to use one of the following tools to report the location of a pothole: • Call one of our Customer Service Representatives. They’re available 24/7 at 1-888-ASK MODOT (888275-6636) • Use our Report A Road Concern form at modot.org • Use your smart phone
or tablet with a mobile friendly form at modot.org/ roadconcern • Email us at comments@ modot.mo.gov • Tell us on social media. Find us on Twitter @ MoDOT_KC and Facebook at www.facebook.com/MoDOT.KansasCity. Potholes form when temperatures warm up during the day, but continue to be
cold at night. This is the main cause of potholes in highways and why they are prevalent during the spring. The rain and snow from winter leave moisture that seeps into cracks and joints in the pavement. When the temperature drops, the water freezes and expands the pavement. This expansion causes the pavement to bulge and crack. When cars drive over the
bulging, cracking pavement, it eventually causes chunks of pavement to pop out, creating the pothole. During pothole season and every other season, MoDOT encourages motorists to slow down, buckle up and drive safely to ensure everyone can Arrive Alive.
Minor Bust For The Hall Of Famous Missourians The Missouri Women’s Network Education Fund is launching its 1,000 Strong Campaign to raise $10,000 to place a bust of St. Louis suffragist Virginia Minor in the state capitol’s Hall of Famous Missourians. The bust will be funded by $10 donations from 1,000 individuals. The Speaker of the Missouri House traditionally chooses the individuals whose busts will be placed in the capitol, but last year Speaker Tim Jones allowed the public to nominate and
vote for individuals to be included. Virginia Minor, along with three men, garnered enough votes to be honored.
In the past, the Speaker has sponsored a golf tournament to fund sculpting and placement of busts, but this year no golf tournament is planned. Since the busts are privately funded, we are launching a grassroots appeal to mobilize 1,000 women to donate $10 each to fund creation and placement of Virginia Minor’s bust, which will be created by Cynthia Hitschler of Eureka, Missouri. “We know that there are thousands of women in Mis-
Plant For The Future, Trees For Raytown Now is the time to make plans for your spring landscaping needs, especially trees. Trees provide many benefits to your home: shade, wildlife habitat, energy conservation, fall cover and noise reduction. A good way of acquiring trees is through the “Trees for Raytown” program, which is sponsored by the Raytown Parks & Recreation Dept. All trees are 4 to 5 foot tall
and cost $34 each. For an additional $25, Parks will plant the tree for you as long as you live in the City limits. This spring’s choices: Ornamental Trees - Flowering Crabapple (red, white or pink), Fruitless Crabapple, Golden Rain Tree and Red Bud. Shade Trees - Bald Cypress, Black Gum, Red Maple and Pin Oak. These trees are
priced at $34. Red Oak, White or Pink Flowering Dogwoods sell for $51.00. Order forms may be picked up at Raytown City Hall or the Parks and Recreation Dept. located at 5912 Lane Ave., Raytown. For more information, call 358-4100. We will take tree orders from March 15 through April 15, 2014.
Raytown’s own Heart of America Senior Softball Association has made a generous donation to the Raytown Parks and Recreation Department of a new Translux Fair-Play Scoreboard. The scoreboard was set in place March 7 at Sarah ColmanLivengood Park, 5912 Lane Ave. The scoreboard features LED lighted numerals, a countdown timer, and a wireless remote controller. Softball players and spectators can better appreciate the

town Parks leagues since 1996, and they now play four days per week at Colman Park. This has been an exceptional partnership as is proven by this donation, which is to be used at all Raytown Parks men’s, coed, and 50+ softball leagues hosted at Colman Park. To contact the Raytown Parks Department call the Raytown Park Office at 358-4100, or visit our website at www.raytownparks. com.

souri who are thrilled to see another woman in the Hall of Famous Missourians,” said Shirley Breeze, president of Missouri Women’s Network Education Fund. “We are confident that women from all areas of the state will come forward to donate and do their part to raise the funds for placement of this bust. All we are asking is $10 from each of 1,000 women.” Virginia Minor is important because she fought to get women the right to vote. In 1872, she tried to register
to vote and was turned away. She sued under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which grants “privileges and immunities” and guarantees equal protection of the law to all citizens. Her lawsuit, Minor v. Happersett, went all the way to the Supreme Court, where she lost. Nearly 50 years later, with passage of the 19th Amendment, women won the right to vote, but not until 1971, nearly 100 years later, did the Supreme Court finally acknowledge that women were
covered by the 14th Amendment. Virginia Minor subsequently studied law and kept working for women’s suffrage until her death in 1894. Virginia Minor will join eight other women and 35 men in the Hall of Famous Missourians in the third floor rotunda of the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City. Tax deductible donations may be sent to MWNEF, Joyce Schuetz, Treasurer, 538 Oak Ridge Trails Ct., Ballwin, MO 63021. Contributions will be acknowledged.

OPINION
Shirley Wittman On April 8th there will be 2 questions on the ballot regarding the Charter. The 1st question is: Do you want a charter to be drafted and the 2nd question is who do you want to elect to be on the charter commission. Whether or not you elect that another charter be drafted, you still must elect those charter candidates that you trust will help create a charter that registered voters will approve a year from now. I am for a simple charter that reflects our current government and I have publicly stated that I will vote “NO” regarding the framing of a new charter and am asking all registered voters who want an uncomplicated charter to also vote “NO.” The reason I am voting NO is because I have some real concerns regarding several candidates that wish to place
a number of proposals in the next charter which could, once again, result in being rejected by the voters at the polls. Someone misspoke when it was stated that I am against a charter. I am not against our city having a charter and becoming a “Home Rule City” as long as the charter is a simple charter which can be amended later by voters at the polls. However, as I have mentioned before, I was on the last charter commission which resulted in changes, just like all previous charters which, in 2005, was rejected 3 to 1 at the polls. In fact the last charter attempt resulted in a number of changes which ended up causing many thousands of dollars in legal fees being spent to prepare that charter proposal instead of adopting a simple charter by using those charters adopted by Blue Springs and Lee’s Summit as our guide in preparing a charter without facing huge legal fees. It is only because I care so much about Raytown that I am willing to place my name on the April 8th ballot in the event that 51% or more registered voters vote “yes” that they want a charter to be framed. Then my purpose, if elected, as a charter commissioner will be to make every effort to cause a simple charter being presented to registered voters for approval instead of being rejected as were several prior charter
proposals in the past. I will also need at least 6 other elected charter commissioners who also want a simple charter to work with me. This is why it is so important that each of the 22 candidates come forth and let us know what specific changes he/she wants to make from our current form of government and announce that information through the local 2 news papers which are offered free at local supermarkets, City hall and the library instead just in a local internet blog site which cannot be reached by those who do not have internet access. I feel the public is entitled to know exactly what changes each commission candidate wishes to interject into the proposed charter and I now ask all registered voters to choose from only for those candidates who have announced their intent before they go to the polls. Remember a simple charter can later be amended with the approval of 51% or more of registered voters at future city elections. In fact the city of Independence Charter has been amended several times over the years after having been approved by registered voters at the voting booth. Give registered voters of Raytown a simple charter. Feel free to contact me: Witty (Shirley) Wittman: Ph# 313-1213 or you can email at wittyonthelake@yahoo.com with your concerns.

Charles Richard “Dick” Collins Charles Richard “Dick” Collins, 73, was born March 13, 1940, in Pleasant Hill, the son of James Lloyd and Elsie (Ferguson) Collins. He departed this life Saturday, March 1, 2014, at his home. On Sept. 11, 1959, he was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart Judith Anne Brown in Pleasant Hill. Following their marriage they moved to Kansas City and later Raytown to raise their four children, returning to Pleasant Hill in 1989. Judy preceded him in death Dec. 4, 2009. There is no doubt that it was but moments after his
death that he heard her say, “You’re home! Whatcha been doin’?” He had missed hearing those words. Dick was employed in the printing industry as a printer for Spangler Printing and in the composing room of The Kansas City Star. He later worked in sales at Raytown Printing, Advertisers Litho and at Maywood Printing in Independence until the time of his death. He was an Advisory Director for the Research Foundation, an active member of St. Anne’s Episcopal Church, Sugarland Estates Homeowners Association and the Lee’s Summit Woodworkers Guild. In his free time he enjoyed fishing, woodworking, traveling, motorcycle riding, the Kansas City Symphony and manicuring his lawn. Dick was also preceded in death by his parents and one son,

Steve Guenther My name is Steve Guenther and I am running for Charter Commissioner. My wife, Janette, and I, along with our three sons Sean, Joel, & Kyle, have been Raytown residents since 1992. I am a licensed architect and urban planner and co-owner of Guenther Mills Keating Architects and HGK Construction Management in Raytown. I am also a member of the Raytown Chamber of Commerce and a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. My community experience includes serving as Vice Chairman of the Raytown Board of Zoning Adjustments for 10 years, President of the Raytown Main Street Association, River of Refuge Board member and Boy Scout
Sandy Hartwell My name is Sandra (Sandy) Hartwell. I have been a resident since 1965, a former Alderman 2003-2007 and current Jackson County, MO Committeewoman! Here are some questions you need to ask before you vote for or against the Charter in April. 1. Why a Charter? 2. What are the changes if we become a Charter City?
Scoutmaster in Raytown for 14 years. I am also very involved with the Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) and the Truman Heartland Foundation. My spare time is spent with my family, fishing, and bicycling, including riding in the MS 150 for the last 8 years, a charity ride for Multiple Sclerosis, and serving my church. About 16 years ago, I found out that Raytown was still a Fourth Class Missouri City and learned what that really meant in regards to self rule and governance, and how little a voice the citizens of the community had. Over the years, I’ve observed a couple failed attempts at writing and adopting a Charter. The last attempt in 2005 was at a huge taxpayer expense caused by the then elected Charter Commissioners’ failure to focus and keep sight of their primary objective: that being, to write a simple charter to adopt our current governing ordinances with little to no change in how we functioned as a city. I feel that to acquire selfrule, not change, should be the objective of the Charter Commission. Additional questions with pro and con explanations would allow the citizens a chance to decide what changes they feel are necessary. The reason
the other charter attempts failed and were expensive was because there was too much change proposed and most communities historically will not vote for that much change. The question must be asked: If that much change had been needed, then why has the Board of Alderman, Mayor, and City staff not brought to ordinance those changes? With only a few exceptions, that kind of change is not needed. I feel that we need a charter because it empowers the citizens with a true voice into how to operate our city and because it will provide for self-rule - apart from the State - at our local level. It’s time for Raytown to move on from that Fourth Class City designation so that we can grow, prosper, and compete with our surrounding chartered communities. I appreciate your vote of approval to form a Charter Commission and to appoint me as one of the thirteen Charter Commissioners on April 8th. My name appears last on the list of 22 candidates, so start at the bottom of the ballot. My only agenda is to stay focused to the primary objective of drafting a simple charter that the citizens of Raytown will approve.
3. How will the Charter change the daily operations at City Hall? 4. How will this affect my family and what will it do for us? 5. How will this change the business between city and the state? If I’m elected to the Charter Commission my mission is provide you with these answers so that you will have the knowledge to make an informed vote in April. This is the 4th time Raytown has tried to pass a Charter. They all failed. As a resident of Raytown since 1965, I can tell you those questions were not answered the first 2 times. The last time there was so much arguing between the Commission and City Hall the voters were concerned about making the change from a 4th class city to a charter form of government. If the City and the Commission can’t get along we may as well leave it as it is. That’s what I heard over
and over again. It’s time the get out of the Dark Ages and do what is necessary to make Raytown the best it can be. A Charter can help do that. So here is what I ask of you, attend the charter meetings or get to know the members, ask questions. I’m sure all of the members would be available. I know if you were to call me, your call will be returned and if I don’t have an answer for you I will find out and call you back. Get involved in your city and get your answers. Then go tell your friends the Charter will be a great thing for Raytown and vote yes in April. If it sounds like I’m campaigning, well your right, I am. This city needs a charter and has needed one for many years. Whether I’m on the commission or not I will be working hard to see that we pass a charter for Raytown and its people.

Choose Your Ride This St. Patrick’s Day This St. Patrick’s Day, those who celebrate with a drink must also choose how they get home – a designated driver, a taxi, a police car, or a hearse. With that in mind, transportation safety advocates and law enforcement officials from throughout the Kansas City area are launching a concerted effort over the next few weeks to crack down on impaired driving through Operation Impact. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, MoDOT’s Traffic and Highway Safety Division, the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Mis-

souri State Highway Patrol, Kansas City Police, KDOT and law enforcement from Missouri and Kansas have brought in patrol cars, sobriety checkpoint vehicles, a taxi cab and a hearse to illustrate the choices and consequences. This year’s theme, “Choose Your Ride,” em-
phasizes that drinking and driving is a conscious choice – and one of the worst decisions a person can make. Law enforcement officers will be out in force with sobriety checkpoints, stepped up patrols and other strategies over the next few weeks to catch impaired drivers.
Choosing this week for Operation Impact is no coincidence. For many universities and colleges, it is spring break, and it comes at a time when St. Patrick’s Day events and basketball tournaments are under way, when celebrating is foremost on the minds of young drivers.
Throughout 2013 in Missouri, 198 people were killed and 579 seriously injured in accidents that involved at least one substance-impaired driver. From 2011-2013, there were 68 fatal crashes and 200 serious-injury crashes involving a substance-impaired driver under 21 in Missouri.

There were 84 people killed and 312 seriously injured in these crashes. During last spring’s Operation Impact, law enforcement officers arrested 412 drivers in just a threeday period.

“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. Without BambusaTM
