Refugees Happy to Better Cave Spring By Brian Lee Employment Team Leader for the Refugee Department at Catholic Charities, Jasmine Baudler, assists refugees with finding stable employment and also engaging them in community outreach to try and build partnerships with employers.

creating a resume is non-existent. These components that our innate for US Citizens when finding employment are completely foreign to them. Refugees face multiple barriers when entering the US and our agency works hard to make sure employment is not one of them” she states. Recently, they have incorporated Job Day Activities where they go out into the community and volunteer to gain reliable references. This will help individuals receive employment faster if they have connections within the community who can commend their work ethic. Who would recommend refugees for a job and how would they even know if they are commendable? That brings us to Cave Spring Park. Jasmine recently teamed up with Al Maddox, director of the park, and Iz Grossman who works for the betterment of the park, when she discovered they needed labor workers to do some park clean up. The refugee workers do volunteer labor as part of their integration program. 15 to 25 people are in each class in the program. The Refugee workers contribution includes picking up trash, clearing trail paths, painting, and cleaning up sites. “Once they know what to do, get out of their way! They really work hard and do a good job,” says Al Maddox. When the refugees arrive they ask via translators what skills they already possess. Turns out a couple of them have carpentry skills and have been assigned to start building bridges for the new one-mile long trail that will cross streams in the park. Al

Raytown Educational Foundation To Benefit From Auction Proceeds On Friday April 24, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. an enormous stately 6,100 square foot manor on 10 acres of land and a 4-acre shared lake will be put up for auction to the highest bidder. Owners, Chris and Stacey Payne (purchasers of the old YMCA building and multiple Raytown properties), intend on donating 100% of the proceeds to three charities: Raytown Educational Foundation to fund a scholarship, Midwest Animal ResQ, and Camp Quality USA, a community-based outreach support program for children with cancer and their families. This act of generosity will not

only provide a financial boost to the said non-for-profit organizations but the auction provides a unique opportunity to gain what would normally be an unaffordable estate at a fraction of the price. While in need of updating and structural repairs, the colonial home has 6100 square feet of above grade finished living area, five bedrooms and seven baths. Central to the main level is a stunning 1200 squarefoot, 2-story great room with a vaulted ceiling, a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and access to a beautiful portico courtyard. Also on the main

level are a formal living room and dining room, large eat-inkitchen with tiled floors, and a study with built-in bookcases. The master suite includes a sitting room and updated bath with whirlpool tub. The open upper level overlooks the great room and features a second master or guest suite with full bath and private balcony overlooking the back

courtyard. Three additional bedrooms (one with a balcony), two full baths, loft area, and a bonus room complete the upper floor. The spacious finished basement adds even more finished living area. The large recreation room has a full service bar, built-in bookcases, and a brick fireplace. The lower level also offers a summer kitchen, full

bath, half bath, cedar closet and lots of additional storage. The attached three-car garage provides plenty of space for your vehicles as well as storage. The detached two-story outbuilding with garage allows space for another car or truck, lawn equipment and more! Continued on page 2

Refugees continued from page 1 observes “They enjoy working with their hands, and prefer being in the woods much more than being indoors.” In talking about the cooperation that exists with the park workers, Jasmine adds “the Cave Spring employees take so much pride in this historical park. Cave Spring is beautiful and the people who run it care about it deeply. Iz and Al are wonderful gentlemen

who were not only willing to work with the refugees, but were excited about working with people who have an outstanding work ethic. They welcomed the refugees with open arms and are giving all of them positive references for their future employment. I am thrilled to continue working with Cave Spring and recruiting more of the refugees as volunteers.” It truly is a mutually beneficial arrangement.

BOA Adopts Communities For All Ages Task Force Guidelines By Mallory Ragon Reporter A resolution has been passed to adopt guidelines set forth by the Raytown Communities for All Ages task force.

The new homes on 53rd and Hedges are near completion. A ribbon cutting is be-

The aldermen thanked the task force for their work and dedication, but found themselves in a lengthy debate about the proposed verbiage of the resolution.

from Alderman Bill Van Buskirk, who said he would not support such a resolution using the word “policy.” “I’m comfortable using this as a resource, but not as a policy,” he said. His sentiments were echoed across the dais, but when prompted by Mayor David Bower, said

that he was not interested in making a motion to amend the resolution. John Benson, development and public affairs director, clarified that the resolution would not bind or commit the city to any specific action, but was intended as a resource for the city’s use when considering future devel-

Dick Smith Ford Presents 2015 Raytown Arts & Music Festival The Raytown Parks & Recreation Dept. is happy to announce this year’s Platinum festival sponsor, Dick Smith Ford. The longstanding Raytown business, that has been a part of the community for nearly 60 years, has agreed to sponsor the festival at the $5000 Platinum level, as well as matching at 50% the next $10,000 raised for the event. Many Raytown residents

will remember the 2014 Festival headlining Brewer & Shipley and featuring visual and performing artists from all over the Kansas City Metro area displaying and selling their works. The 2015 Festival is shaping up to be the best one yet, and a great deal of that is due to our generous sponsor, Dick Smith Ford. Brewer & Shipley will again headline this year’s event scheduled

for August 29, 2015, at C. Lee Kenagy Park, 9608 E. 79th Street. Improvements to Kenagy Park by the Raytown Parks Department will better accommodate spectators and artists alike.

opment. “We’re just adopting this as a tool, as a lens to look at our community,” Benson said. Several language substitutions were suggested to replace “policy,” including resource, consideration and guideline. The board narrowly approved changing the language to “guideline”. (Alder-

men Van Buskirk, Joe Creamer, Janet Emerson and Steve Mock voted against the amendment). The aldermen had a split vote on the amended resolution (with Aldermen Creamer, Emerson, Mock, Van Buskirk and Michael Lightfoot voting against). Bower broke the tie with an affirmative vote, passing the resolution.

BOA Approves Updated City Advertising Policy

By Mallory Ragon Reporter The Board of Aldermen unanimously approved an updated advertising policy for Raytown’s city newsletter, which is slated to be published on a quarterly basis. The decision came after Joe Willerth, city attorney, provided a comparison to similar policies in other cities.

Initially discussed at the board’s March 3, 2015, meeting, the policy raised concerns among several aldermen about stipulations regarding the restriction of political or religious messages. Willerth agreed to review federal and state statutes that address religious advertising in city publications. He reported that he found no judicial authority in Missouri,

and that he found similar language upheld in policies in California and Minnesota. The policy will allow for religious and political organizations to buy advertising, including for special events or church service times, as long as it doesn’t include religious or political messaging. City staff will determine what advertisements can be placed.

Residents Line Up For Public Comments At BOA Meeting

Several residents took the public comments portion of the Board of Aldermen meeting as an opportunity to share their opinions for candidates in the upcom-

remarks. Alderman Josh Greene took the opportunity to step down from the dais and speak as a member of the public, asking for clarification of the allowed scope of public comments. He said it was his understanding that

comments should only be limited to matters under the direct control of the board of aldermen, and that campaign speeches or arguments in favor of or against a charter not currently under the board’s consideration should be halted immediately.

“Those are campaign speeches and those don’t belong at a city government meeting,” he said. There was no response from Bower or the dais to Greene’s comments. Bower declined to comment further after the close of the meeting.

Time For Some Financial “Spring Cleaning” Submitted by Kevin Carpenter We’ve just about arrived at spring, the time when many people spruce up their homes, yards and other parts of their surroundings. This year, why not extend that practice a little further and give your financial and investment environment a good “spring cleaning”? Here are a few suggestions for doing just that: • Reduce duplication. If you’ve ever worked to “declutter” your home, you may have discovered a lot of extraneous items. Did you really need three blenders? Did you have more remote

control devices than you did televisions? As you look through your investment portfolio, you might also find some duplication, perhaps in the form of multiple stocks of companies in the same industry. You might want to consider whether you’d be better off by reducing this concentration and using the proceeds to broaden your investment mix to create new potential for growth, income or a combination of both. • Repair your “roof.” As part of your exterior springcleaning efforts, you might examine your roof to determine if you need to repair or replace any torn or missing

shingles. After all, a strong roof is essential to protecting your home. And your financial foundation needs protection, too — so, review your life and disability insurance to ensure they are still adequate to meet your family’s needs. You also might want to consult with a financial professional for ways of dealing with the potentially devastating costs of an extended nursing home stay or another type of longterm care. • Plant some “seeds.” Spring is a good time for re-seeding parts of your lawn that may be bare. Once you’ve planted the seeds, of course, you’ll need to water

and fertilize them to encourage growth. As you look over your financial landscape, you may also find areas that are somewhat barren. For example, you might be adequately funding your own retirement goals through your employer-sponsored retirement plan and other investments, but are you putting away enough money for your children’s college education? If not, you might need to “plant some seeds” for potential growth by investing in a college savings account, such as a 529 plan. And you may need to continually “nourish” your plan by contributing money each year.

• Update your “furnishings.” When you bought and arranged your home’s furnishings, they might have been perfectly suited for your needs. But now, many years later, your situation may be quite different. Perhaps you’ve said goodbye to grown children who have struck out on their own, so you might want to make new uses for old rooms. And maybe your old “stuff” just isn’t as comfortable as it was before, or the layout of your furniture isn’t as efficient. Whatever the case, it may well be time to update your environment. And the same thing can happen with your financial

“house.” To reflect changes in your family situation, employment, economic circumstances, retirement goals and other factors, you will need to periodically review your financial strategy and your investment portfolio, and make adjustments as needed. Tidying up your living space may help improve your overall outlook on life. The same might be said of a financial spring cleaning — and you won’t even need a mop. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor.

My letter is in response to Ward 2 Alderman/Charter Commissioner Jim Aziere’s letter to the editor published in the Raytown Times March 11 issue. He states his reasons for not signing his name to the Charter Document after the final vote. He complains about the Board of Alderman having too much power. He says it is a “shift” in power from the Mayor and City Administrator to the Board of Alderman. First of all, this mirrors the way our city currently runs. Second, Mr. Aziere actually voted for the Charter to be written this way on August 11. He also says another reason he refused to sign the Charter is that it takes away the right to hire, fire, and set the salary of the Parks and Rec. director away from the Parks Board and shifts it to the Board of Alderman. Mr. Aziere also voted for the Charter to be written this way on October 13. He says he did not sign the Charter because he believed for those reasons listed above, that that this charter is not good for Raytown because a powerful Board of Alderman and a weak Mayor will hinder professional government. Why in the world would he have voted yes on these issues and then speak out against the Charter because of these things? My conclusion is that either he was dead set on

Editorial The Raytown Times, March 18, 2015, “Ethics Commission Checking Local Group” reports that the Missouri Ethics Commission is looking into the legality of Raytown Community Alliance which is promoting passage of the proposed Charter. The Alliance is a nonprofit Missouri corporation, not a campaign committee, formed back in the summer of 2013. Being one of the founders, I can tell you that the Alliance was formed to promote issues and programs that would advance Raytown. I later decided a newspaper that educates the public about important issues and markets the image of Raytown was more important and I resigned. The Alliance did not take an official stand on whether or not to vote for framing a home rule charter, a question on the April 8 ballot

Becoming Ray Charles Was No Easy Task A One-On-One With Ray Charles

Letters to the editor To The Editor,

sabotaging the Charter from the beginning, or that he never paid any attention at the meetings and the things that were being voted on. He asks, “Do we really want to place the most power in the hands of the Board of Alderman whose members oftentimes don’t have college degrees or experience in government?” I don’t know if he is talking about Alderman Steve Mock, businessman Steve Meyers, who is running for Alderman, or myself, with the comment about not having a college degree. Well I am sorry that I do not have a degree Mr. Aziere, I was a little busy fighting in Iraq, so I have not yet completed my college degree. I ask this question, do we really want someone who purposely misleads us, or does not pay attention at meetings for which he was elected, to continue to represent us? For those of you who are unaware, I am running against Mr. Aziere for Alderman in Ward 2. I fully support this Charter and I would appreciate your vote on April 7. We need to get those politicians out of office who believe they can deceive us and get away with it. If you have any questions of me I can be reached at 816-7300385 or at crathbone78@yahoo. com

PEARL BAILEY

Sincerely, Chris Rathbone last year. Recently, the Alliance decided to promote the proposed Charter but it can only support issues, not candidates. In recognition of Sunshine Law week, March 15-21, 2015, we asked Brenda Gustafson, PIO, why the updated City website does not include all the archival documents, such as meeting packets and minutes, that were available before. She explained that they discovered that some of those 40,000 documents were “incorrect” and that they are actively working towards reviewing those documents prior to uploading to the new website. Citizens will begin to see them gradually appear online as reviews are concluded. She commented that only documents obtained from the City Clerk are considered certified.

Last week we began what would be a wonderful conversation I had with Ray Charles that lasted quite some time and even continued into another engagement several months later. As a matter of fact, Ray’s manager Joe Adams even told me “I don’t know what you said to him but I’ve never seen Ray talk so in depth with anyone else before like he does to you. He wouldn’t share most of those things with anyone”. Once again, I attribute much of this to our somewhat parallel childhoods. Born September 23, 1930 in Albany, Georgia, little Ray was taken as an infant back to his Mother’s hometown of Greenville, Florida. It really was never established whether his Mother was ever married to his Father, whom he saw very little of. Ray lost his Mother at the age of 14 which came as a real shock to him. Ray returned to The Florida School for the Deaf and The Blind in St. Augustine. His years there from 1937-1945 were productive musically and he took what he learned, mostly classical, and his real love of jazz and blues to finally develop his own style. Back in his school years he was taught to read music by using braille which is no easy task. “I would have to learn how to play with my left hand by reading music in braille with my right

hand and then I would have to learn how to play with my right hand by reading in braille with my left hand and then work out how to put it all together”, Ray told me one night in the dressing room. Just then Joe Adams, Ray’s manager, knocked on the door and said “forty minutes to show time”. Ray said, “come and get me, I’ll be ready”. We continued our talk for about another 20 minutes alone. Ray focused now on his own family, and that’s when I found out he had 12 children, two wives and ten of the children came from ten different Mothers. Ray said that he had a trust set up for each of them and that he wanted to leave them each something to remember him with. He indicated to me that he wanted Ray Charles, Jr. to own all of his music, his name, likeness, etc. Even to this day the family still has lawsuits going on, mostly arguing with Joe Adams, Ray’s longtime manager, who is now close to 90. They all have accused him of keeping them out of the business side of Ray’s career and involving them only with the trusts that were set up, including Ray’s foundation for those with hearing disorders. I’ve known Joe Adams for nearly forty years and he was always known to be a rough one to do business with. Ray Charles tried one time to fire him by bringing in another person but that didn’t work out so as Ray told me, “I just let Joe handle everything and keep my fingers crossed”. As most know, Ray had his problems with drug addiction having been arrested for marijuana and heroin. He admitted to me “that I had my years of using it as an escape from reality and it did hurt my career especially between 1967 through 1980. I lost a lot of time developing my music”.

Get Out Of The Gym. Exercise Kills.

Jason Offutt The British woman had no idea why her head hurt. The 42-year-old heard a popping sound while exercising, but didn’t think much of it until she began to suffer persistent headaches. The only thing that would

take the pain away, according to LiveScience.com, was to lie down, presumably after a few beers. Doctors discovered the woman’s headaches were caused by injuries sustained in a Pilates class. The “pop,” which occurred during resistance exercises using equipment from “Fifty Shades of Grey” (I don’t know, I just assumed) caused her to leak fluid – from her brain. This brain juice wasn’t just something the body produces that’s useless, like the ideas of most business managers. The fluid cushions the brain and spinal cord, and it now leaked. The lesson here is clear; exercise is dangerous. Watching CNN Headline News in August 2008 (Hey,

I was at a public gym and someone had hidden the damn remote) I heard the news about Isaac Hayes. CNN: Soul singer and arranger Isaac Hayes, who won Grammy awards and an Oscar has died. Hayes died at his home. His wife found him lying next to a still running treadmill. As I listened to the report, I stopped what I was doing immediately. I was walking on a treadmill. The dude who sang the theme song to “Shaft” couldn’t even survive exercise. Right on. You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother. Shut your mouth. The lesson here is now even clearer; exercise is not only dangerous, it will kill you.

Eleven athletes have died while running the London Marathon. One in every 44,000 athletes in the United States die from heart attacks each year. And these aren’t grandpas. These are young(ish) men. According to Men’s Health Magazine, one out of 17,000 regular guys who work out one to 19 minutes a week will die from exercise this year. When the exercise time goes up to 20 to 139 minutes a week, that number lowers to one out of 23,000 men. But when the exercise level increase to more than 140 minutes a week, the number shoots up to one per 13,000 men. Although my idea of math is counting how many chips I can stuff into my mouth, even I can calculate

this. Those who do little to no exercise have a greater chance of living to see the next episode of “The Walking Dead” than does Johnny Musclehead. So, for the love of God, people, stay on the couch. Oh, and have some Cheetos. On a related and more upbeat note, medical researchers have discovered the following about beer: • It increases bone density, according to the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. • It may prevent kidney stones. The Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, baby. • It helps reduce the risk for arthritis. The journal Arthritis & Rheumatism. That’s no slouch. • It keeps the mind

sharp. New England Journal of Medicine. BOOM. • By drinking a pint a day, beer reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes by 31 percent, according to the European Journal of Epidemiology.

Producer’s Corner continued from page 4 his face, he said, “You know Quincy Jones, he didn’t see things my way, but when I began to see the world his way, my whole life changed for the better”. Quincy always thought the people Ray was hanging out with were a bad influence in his life, and he made no secret of what he thought. “Crying Time” was a huge hit that came out right after this. Thus, began Ray’s surge once again in the music business. As I was setting up for the second show I could only

think and visualize little Ray being taken by his Mom to that school which he said he didn’t want to go to because he knew he wasn’t dressed

right, and was always hungry. And if it were not for the music he said he never would have made it through the first month. It was then

that I thought to myself, “Well, I guess my growing up years were not anywhere near as bad as I thought after hearing Ray tell me of the hard times he had as a child and his struggles to find himself and his own identity in the music business”. As Ray started singing “I Can’t Stop Loving You” I thought of what he said about all his children and all the women he had affairs with. He needed affection all the time. I asked Ray how difficult it was for him to overcome the addiction to heroin and be able to go on working with severe withdrawals

Ray said, “My doctor gave me a medicine that is kind of like one that is given to alcoholics so that the second alcohol enters their system they get terribly ill. I also had the true fromthe-heart desire to quit for good”, he said. Ray said that “making up your mind to do something 100% and not 99% made all the difference in the world because I knew it was finally over and I was going to get well for the sake of myself, my children and all of my fans”.

Park Board Meeting Staff Reports

At the Park Board general meeting on March 16, 2015, Director Kevin Boji announced that two days of public meetings have been scheduled to listen to what residents want in their parks. The meetings are scheduled for April 8 and 9, 2015, at 6:30 p.m. Gathering information from the public is part of the process of developing a master plan for future upgrades and development of Raytown’s parks systems. The Board of Alderman approved a maintenance contract to repair and replace broken water lines in Catalina Cove at Super Splash USA. The contractor promises to have repairs finished by opening day, May 23. Lifeguard classes have been scheduled for 20 applicants.

Staff reported that Raytown Baseball Association applied too much herbicide to the field at Little Blue Trace Park killing some 25 to 30 yearold trees which are virtually irreplaceable. The trees offered shade to patrons of the games and it is questionable as to whether any trees can survive in the soil where the poisoned trees stood. Boji reported that Kansas City will be surveying a trail in Little Blue Trace Park with plans to build a trail from the park to Longview Lake. The project is a collaboration between Kansas City and Jackson County.

Park Board Meets Charter Commissioners

Charter Commissioners, Steve Guenther and Jason Greene, made guest appearances to discuss the Parks and Recreation section of

the charter, Article VIII on page 19. The Park board was peeved that they did not have any input. Guenther responded that the newspapers reported on commission and public meeting schedules, and the existence of a website that provided meeting times, minutes and documents. The Parks Board took particular exception to the section called Review of Board Decisions which outlines a procedure of overturning Parks Board decisions by the Board of Aldermen (Article VIII, 8.3, page 20). Terry Copeland said “It is insulting to us as volunteers that three alderman can challenge our decisions. Hours were spent on making the decision like the closing of Super Splash.” In actuality, the charter provides for a process that begins with three aldermen challenging the decision but then requires

a review and hearing and finally a super majority of the BOA to overturn a Parks board decision. Last fall, the Board of Aldermen overturned the Parks Board’s decision to close Super Splash without a formal process in place so it is understandable that the Park Board would take adversarial stand on this issue. Jason Greene explained that he wrote the section with the motive of closing the “cleavage” between the Parks and the Board of Aldermen that resulted from the Super Splash closure talks. Greene said he consulted with other municipalities and with Alderman Pat Ertz who is liaison to the Parks Board. Guenther added that the section received unanimous approval from the commissioners as recorded in the minutes of the October 13, 2014 report. After all board members aired their concerns, Board

Chair George Mitchell, commended the commissioners for their work and concluded that it was a good charter despite some sticking points. Guenther reminded the board that a charter is a living document that can be changed and cited Article XIV, 14.8 that provides for how to amend the charter. Amendments can be proposed by the Board of Aldermen, by a Charter Review committee or by petition by not less than eight (8%) of the qualified voters of the City. While passage of an amendment requires a voter majority, Guenther explained that scheduling a ballot vote during a municipal election cycle will not create additional costs to the taxpayer.

Financial Audit

Mary Jane McCormick of Parks complained to Alderman

Pat Ertz that she does not know if we’re in good or bad shape financially. “I see that we have $1.2 million but my expenditures aren’t showing up.” Ertz replied that he’s been doing his best to get information although it was not readily apparent how long this situation has existed. The City had been without a Finance Director from May until November 2014 when it hired Martha Mundt who stayed for only two months. During the past eight years, the City has seen at least four finance directors come and go. Mark Loughry who left in May last year was rehired in February this year. Brenda Gustafson, City PIO, assured McCormick that the information she needs will be available when the audit concludes around April 7, 2015.
