Sunshine Week By Diane Krizek Editor
March 16-22, 2014
Journalists often quote Louis Brandeis who first used the sunshine metaphor as an image of transparency. In 1913, Harper’s Weekly published his piece “What Publicity Can Do”. He wrote, “Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.” Americans have learned over
and toddlers who are one year old and older and walking. KC Swim Academy founder, Mary Jo Klier, is passionate about preventing children from drowning. “Drowning is the third leading cause of death among children between 1 and 4 years old. We teach water skills for life,” says Klier.

Raytown High Competes In Moody’s Mega Math Challenge By Diane Krizek Editor A team of five Raytown High School students competed against about 5,000 high school students in Moody’s Mega Math Challenge for $125,000 in scholarships awarded by The Moody’s Foundation during the 2014 Moody’s Mega Math (M3) Challenge that took place on the weekend of March 8-9. Raytown High’s team consisted of Seniors
Christopher Anderson and Aaron Lemmermann; Juniors Josh Bedsworth, Tristen Caudle, and Truman Steen; and team sponsor Nick Martin, Raytown High math teacher.
This year’s competition challenge, “Cafeteria Conundrum: Can school lunches be nutritious, delicious, and affordable?”, was inspired from concerns regarding childhood nutritional needs, hunger and obesity. Competing teams did not know the problem in advance and were given 14 hours to study the issue, gather data, state assumptions, and devise mathematical models before reporting their results in a solution paper.
Raytown South’s Ellis Moore Accepted Into SBU’s Honors Program By Diane Krizek Editor Raytown South High School student, Ellis Moore, was accepted into Southwest Baptist University (SBU) Gordon and Judy Dutile Honors Program. Moore is the son of Rick and Robin Moore of Kansas City. Moore was one of the Raytown South High School seniors recently hon-
ored at the 29th Annual Raytown School District’s Academic evening on March 11. SBU of Bolivar, MO, awarded more than 200 Dutile Scholars Awards to prospective students during the annual Scholars Day scholarship competition that took place on Feb. 8, 2014. Students competed for the scholarships by being interviewed by a faculty panel and writ-
ing an essay. The University also awarded four J.R. Maupin full tuition scholarships. The Dutile Awards of up to $2,500 are in addition to the University’s merit-based scholarship program that offers scholarships from $6,000 to $11,000 based on ACT/ SAT scores and high school grade-point averages.

City Administrator’s Report
By Mallory Ragon The board of aldermen discussed city participation in a Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) orthophotography project that encompasses the entire metropolitan area. Orthophotography,
By Robert Smith The Park Board meeting was opened by welcoming Danielle Miles as the new member. Staff reported that the Raytown Arbor Day 25th Annual Celebration will be held at the Rotary Club Veterans Peace Plaza located at Colman Park near the flagpole on Saturday, April 26, 2014, at 10:00 a.m. This event is sponsored by Raytown Tree Board and the Raytown Parks Department. The key-
detailed aerial photographs, is a tool already used by city staff for enforcement of code violations, engineering projects and road construction, development projects, and historical record of the city. The board is considering an ordinance approving an
agreement with the (MARC) to take part in the project. The fee required on behalf of the city is $371. The total cost of the project is $396,000. Alderman Emerson expressed privacy concerns, citing countrywide distrust of the government. She stated
that she wouldn’t be voting in favor of the ordinance for this reason. “I’m not against the photographs, but against the sharing of the information,” she said. Alderman Josh Greene disagreed, noting that the
many benefits of having these images outweigh the cons. “I don’t think this is something that’s going to be a severe infringement on privacy,” he said. The photographs will be taken regardless of Ray-
town’s participation. If the city chooses to join the project, they will be given full access to the photos. As this was a first reading of the ordinance, no vote was taken. The board will consider it formally at their next regular session on April 1.
note speaker will be from the Command Staff College at Fort Leavenworth. There will be a Veterans honor guard, special music, recognition of attending local veterans and a tree planting ceremony to mark the event. The public is invited to attend. A joint meeting of the Park Board and the Super Splash committee is scheduled to convene on April 2, 2014, at 6:00 p.m. to review the Super Splash Business plan. The Super Splash committee was established by the
City to determine the direction of Super Splash. Staff reported that due to changes in the City overtime policy the Police Department cannot insure that it will be able to provide off-duty officers at Super Splash as done in the past. The Board discussed the possibility of hiring a security company but decided it was not a feasible solution. The new scoreboard at the Colman ball field has been installed and looks great. It was donated by the Heart of
America Senior Softball and they are excited to get the season started. Staff reported that plans are underway for the Arts and Music Fest scheduled for September 27, 2014, at Kenagy Park. The planning committee is evaluating music groups and working on a plan to attract artists and sponsorships. There were 2 reappointments and 2 new appointments to the BMX Board: Justine Woodall, Colin Diehl, Jeremy Cumberford and
Chris Hagen. The Tree Board reappointed two board members: Steve Bankston and Carla Hamilton. The Parks Board approved the purchase of a replacement truck that is used primarily for picking up and hauling of the trash and refuse from the shelter houses and parks. They are replacing a 2003 Ford F150 that will be sold instead of traded in because they believe it will sell for more than a trade-in allowance.
The board accepted and approved the bid for pool chemicals for use at Super Splash for the 2014 season for an amount not to exceed $22,000. Cumulus Radio delivered a proposal to provide advertising spots for Super Splash. The Board discussed whether or not it was the best use of the available dollars and when ads should run. Parks staff were directed to get additional bids to bring back to the April meeting.

OPINION
Matt Cushman I am excited to introduce myself again to the people of Raytown. My name is Matthew Cushman, and I am a lifelong resident of the City of Raytown. I am a father of two terrific children, and a dedicated public servant. For nearly 20 years I have been a Paramedic and for the first 18 years of my career I served the people of Raytown. Serving both as a Paramedic and later the Director of Emergency Medical Services, I oversaw the entire emergency medical service system. During my time as Director, the Raytown Emergency Medical Services system was recognized as one of the best in the State of Missouri and I was recognized as the Administrator of the Year as well. In addition to being a Paramedic, I have also dedicated myself to educating others as a faculty instructor at a local college specializing in EMS training as well as other organizations. My leadership in the area of EMS spans not only at a local level but throughout the region, and I am eager to serve my community again in providing a charter document that will be welcomed by the citizens of Raytown, Missouri. Since its inception, the City of Raytown has been a fourth class city. There are many disadvantages and barriers to progress as well as inhibiting a truly open, representative government that appreciates the will of the people. The people of Raytown have long had great ideas and as such there needs to be more power placed in the hands of those that live here. The City has spent tens of thousands of dollars in lobbyists and staff wages trolling the representatives and senators of our statehouse in an effort to change state law to allow Raytown to do simple things that other chartered cities can do without State approval. In an almost ridiculous fashion, Raytown needed to change a state law to change the way we sent
delinquent sewer notices out. We also had to change state law to get “permission” to place tax initiatives on the ballot. No matter what your views are on those taxes that simply shouldn’t happen as the people of this grand community deserve the right of self determination. In most of those cases, it took years to get any resolution from Jefferson City. The people of Raytown deserve to make our own decisions based on the needs of the community and with our interests at heart, not dysfunctional politicians in Jefferson City. We have heard a lot of rhetoric recently about what a charter should and should not look like. I have a very simple approach to how I will participate. I come to this process with no outrageous agenda or with any preconceived notion as to what changes a charter should bring to our City. We all agree that the core principals of the citizen’s rights should be to petition their government and place initiatives of interest to them on a ballot. We also believe in the right of citizens to engage in a recall process of elected officials when they believe the elected official violated the moral, ethical or legal requirements of their office. Those provisions should be the cornerstones to our work on a charter document. Those core rights are enjoyed by most of the neighboring cities in our area. It is long past time that home rule came to Raytown. I am eager to make those principals the foundation by which we move Raytown forward. Now, Raytown has been down this road before, and in each case, we have come up short, thereby continuing to be at the mercy of the State Capital and the laws that govern fourth class cities. I come to this process with no battle to fight, or score to settle. I come because I feel I can make a positive difference as a commissioner and provide informed decisions based on the input of the citizens of Raytown. It should be expected that the commission make good decisions based on the interests of Raytown. I have a history serving this community and am eager to do it again. There is little good in fighting old fights and continuing to point fingers or assign blame to the failed attempts to enact a Charter in our past. What we can do is learn a great deal about what worked and what didn’t work. Like all of the attempts before, there were areas of clear consensus
and that should be our starting block. There are also issues that are controversial. I think that no matter how you feel about those controversial issues, they shouldn’t jeopardize the Charter process which is the only way for this City to get out of the fourthclass city classification. In addition to that, I am a strong believer that all those issues should be given due diligence and given their time of debate before the people. Just like I cannot rule out or rule on any of those “hot topics,” I can assure you that if I am elected commissioner, I will offer their consideration in a professional and appropriate manner. Those issues should stand or die on their own merit, and shouldn’t dissuade support for a local charter. Our constitution was not written in one setting. Basic rights were established early and over time, amendments and changes have been made in our history, and that same approach should be considered with a charter. We shouldn’t lose sight of what we are really trying to accomplish. I have been around and seen a lot. I have seen when government works really well, and I have certainly seen it when it fails. I think I offer a wonderful perspective, not attached to any faction or group. I will not engage in the toxic venom that has both riddled the past and present political culture in Raytown. I will offer genuine leadership and will always remember that this is the people’s process. I am eager to begin this journey, but need your confidence and your vote. I urge voters to look deep into this process and the candidates, and find candidates that do not have strings attached. Our destiny is at stake. Great democracy and good government comes from the grassroots. It comes from the minds and ideas of people that understand that their opinions matter. Government should be transparent, should work for the people they are sworn to serve, and it should always be a reflection of the will of the people. Great ideas are the seeds of progress and I hope that this charter commission will fuel a greater day for Raytown. The people will win with a charter. It is time.

Candidates For The Raytown Charter Commission
Joe Burton My name is Joe Burton. I am number 20 on the April 8, 2014, ballot for the City Charter Commission. I grew up on the east side of Kansas City. I graduated from East
Michael T. McDonough Michael T. McDonough is a candidate for the Raytown
High School, attended Kansas City Junior College, and received a Bachelor Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of MissouriColumbia. I worked for the Kansas City District of the Corps of Engineers for seventeen years and the Department of Commerce in Kansas City for 13 years. In 1982 our family moved to Raytown because we wanted our daughter to grow up in a community of good friends we attended church with. It was a good move and I learned to greatly appreciate community. Since I retired in 2000, I have delivered Meals on Wheels for the Shepherd’s Center of Raytown and helped on projects for the Raytown Emergency As-
sistance Program, two great community programs started by citizens of Raytown. Since 2006, I also participate in the Wheels That Care program of the Shepherd Center and I do Adopt a Street on 63rd Street because I feel these activities help and encourage community. I am on the ballot for the City Charter Commission because I feel having Home Rule will empower citizens more in their government and encourage citizens to participate more in their government, hopefully, creating more community. If you chose me to be on the Commission you can expect me to champion and support agendas that encourage and empower the citizens of Raytown.
Charter Commission. He has lived in Raytown since the 1960s. He grew up in Raytown and went to Raytown Schools and Graduated from Raytown South High School in 1973. He has been a police officer for the Raytown Police Department since 1975. He is very involved in Raytown. He is on the Board of Directors for Raytown Emergency Assistance Program and also the Raytown Police Benefit Fund, which supports many charitable programs in Raytown. McDonough said; “If the people vote to have a Charter Commission and I am elected to serve, I will listen
to the people and strive for a Charter that will be passed by the voters.” He said that he would work for a Charter to frame the present form of Government, but with home rule. If the voters decide, after the Charter is formed and approved, that things need to be added, then it will be up to the people to bring forth those items. “I think that it is time for a Charter form of Government here, but it needs to start out simple and then added to when the people of Raytown decide to do so.”

“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

BENEFITS: • Increased blood flow and oxygen • Reduced swelling and pain • Anti-microbial • Wicks away moisture • Increased range of motion Tom from NJ reports, “I suffer from chronic foot cramps. My feet were sore for days after the cramping. My wife gave me the BambusaTM socks, I wore them, and the foot cramps stopped. I replaced all my socks with BambusaTM. My feet feel great now.” Try Bambusa Risk Free! Order Bambusa™ at no risk and receive two bonus pairs of socks absolutely free! The technology used in BambusaTM socks is independently tested to boost circulation, blood flow and oxygen. These circulation-boosting socks allow you to wrap yourself in relief. BambusaTM is backed by a satisfaction guarantee so you can experience the short and long term results risk free.
