O’Hara Cel-Techs Make Semi-Finals At KC Regional FIRST Robotics Competition By Diane Krizek Editor For the first time in eight years, O’Hara High School’s robotics team, the Cel-Techs, made O’Hara history by making it to the semifinals at the Greater KC Regional FIRST Robotics competition that took place at the MCC Business & Technology Campus in Kansas City from March 13-15. More than 1,100 high school students representing 57 teams from around the metro area and beyond, participated for a chance to win regional awards and advance to the FIRST World Championship. Teams have just six weeks to build a competition robot using a small parts kit that includes wheels and electric motor provided by FIRST and a standard set of rules. The teams must raise $6,000 for
2013-2014 O’Hara High School Cel-Techs teams with mentors the entry fee and the funding to buy the rest of the parts to finish their own robot’s design, such as the framing, and any necessary machining and water jetting services. This is no small feat for a small private school com-
peting against 57 teams, some of which represent high schools in the KC metro area that have unlimited budgets and dedicated work space. The 2014 game, AERIAL ASSISTSM, is played by two Alliances of three teams each. One team robot throws, another robot catches and a third robot pushes the ball to score. Alliances compete by trying to score as many balls in goals as possible
during a two- minute and 30-second match. Additional points are earned by robots working together to score goals, and by throwing and catching balls over a truss suspended just over five feet above the floor as they move the ball down the field. The Cel-Techs built their #2346 robot to catch a ball. After making it to the quarterfinals, Cel-Techs were invited by teams from Lee’s Summit
high school and Smith Cotton high school of Sedalia to form an alliance to compete in the semi-finals. The Cel-Techs are grateful for all their sponsors who helped make this experience possible: Durbin’s AAA Tree Service, CNC Services LLC, Grandmas’ Office Catering, Carter Creations, Show Me Controls and Automation, Taylor Cable Prod-

Friends And Family Celebrated The Life Of Ann Harrison At 25th Remembrance Ceremony

On Saturday, March 22, about 100 people came together at Caves Springs Park to celebrate the life of Ann Harrison who was murdered at the tender age of 15 in front of her Raytown home in 1989. The Nature Center was decorated with photos,
scrapbooks, toys and memorabilia of her childhood, from birth up to her teenage years, while the Kansas City Flute Choir played in the background. The ceremony was a beautiful and moving tribute of this young girl’s life as former classmates, friends, and family came forward to share their memories and detailed anecdotes as if it happened yesterday. One friend de-

time he and a young friend “relieved a truck of two melons” only to drop one while
the owner looked on. Later, he recalls World War II as a merchant marine, during which he “watched the torpedoes come right at us and waited for the explosion” After the war, he revisits life as a newly hired engineer for a government organization. The management personnel asked what he would need to fire up a locomotive after three months of failed attempts. Is he now a registered melon thief? What about those torpedoes? And how did he succeed where many others had failed? Come read his delightful stories.” From the back cover of

the Raytown school district, where he raised his two children, Deborah and Roger, who were graduates of Raytown high school. His wife, Bernice (Smith) of sixty-two years preceded him in death in 2008 and he spent his last years at Hidden Lake Care Center at 51 Street and Woodson. He was still driving, bringing home groceries, when he collapsed from a fatal heart attack on March 8th. But in the last remaining months of his full life, he managed to write a book about his life experiences over nine decades - all by himself on his computer. It was published on January 21 of this year by LifeRich Publishing, a subsidiary of Readers Digest, just days after his 95th birthday on January 13. Warren’s plan was to celebrate with a book reading and signing at Hidden Lake in March but that was not to be. “He got what he set to out to do which is to complete his book,” said his daughter, Deborah, “And the entire family came from all over to help him celebrate his 95th birthday in January.” In addition to his daughter, Warren leaves his daughterin-law, Pamela, 3 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren. Hidden Lake Care Center hosted a memorial on March 24 where family members shared their memories of Warren. Residents of the care center commented on what an inspiration he was to them and many of them who read his book claimed they couldn’t put it down. His Introduction starts with “For several years, I’ve been reminiscing about all the things I have done in my life and thinking of all the things I should have learned about my parents, grandparents and other older relatives. I decided to put in writing a few of these memories. Although it is a lot of trouble and time consuming…” A paperback copy of “Century of Progress” sells for $13.95 on Amazon.com.

Suspect In Child Pornography Investigation Commits Suicide On March 25, just prior to noon, the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a man reporting that he just witnessed a car drive into Lake Jacomo at a high rate of speed. Deputies responded, and with the as-
sistance of Lee’s Summit Underwater Recovery, a vehicle was pulled from the water with a man inside. The Jackson County Medical Examiner’s Office confirmed the victim’s identity and noted what appeared
Jackson County Pays $1.4 Million To Settle Harassment Lawsuits Jackson County agreed to pay $1.4 million to settle sexual and racial harassment lawsuits filed against the county by five former employees. The legislature approved a resolution to make five separate payments of $700,000, $400,000, $150,000 and two payments of $75,000 each. Five former employees, who all worked in the county’s Assessment Department, claim to have suffered sexual and racial harassment in the
workplace dating back to the 1990s and continuing until recently. The allegations launched an investigation and the confidential settlement agreements conclude that investigation. It was reported that three long-time employees in the department resigned when the women came forward last fall. At least six county employees are said to have engaged in the abusive conduct or knew about it and did not report it but they are
no longer on the payroll due to resignation, termination or retirement. Curtis Koons, the department’s director at the time, resigned under fire for the botched 2013 property reassessments and billing. Ferdinand Niemann was assigned as the acting director upon Koons departure but was officially named director of the department on Monday, March 24.

Force (WMCCTF) was investigating Welch for child pornography crimes. He was suspected of uploading child pornography via Dropbox and a search warrant had been issued to investigate his property.
The WMCCTF is a Nine (9) County Task Force serving the Metropolitan Kansas City, Missouri area. Based upon the suspect’s death, the WMCCTF investigation is now closed.

OPINION It is my pleasure to submit this letter of support on behalf of Matthew Cushman for Charter Commissioner for the City of Raytown. I have known Matt on a professional and personal level for over 25 years. He will be an excellent asset to the Commission. Matt is a lifelong resident of Raytown and is committed to serving the public and improving government for the community as a whole. His experience serving as Director of Emergency Medi-
cal Services for 18 years has given him the opportunity to hone his analytical and leadership skills. His work has been recognized by the State of Missouri in naming him “Administrator of the Year” during his tenure with Raytown Emergency Medical Services. As a member of the Charter Commission, Matt would bring with him strategies to encourage participation, collaboration between stakeholders and insight into the unique needs of a changing community. Additionally, his vision and willingness to
serve Raytown make him an excellent candidate to serve in this capacity. In closing, I enthusiastically support Matthew Cushman. I know that he will always keep in mind the betterment of the community as he fulfills the many responsibilities associated with serving as a Charter Commissioner. Sincerely, Theresa Garza Ruiz Jackson Country Legislator First District At Large

am a member of the Raytown Retired Teachers and School Personnel Association. I am placing my name on the ballot for Charter Commissioner because I want to take an active part in the local decision-making process. If elected, I will work with the charter commission members and other community leaders to produce a charter for Raytown...a charter that is written clearly and in plain language that the citizens of Raytown can understand. Like many others, I believe that Raytown is at a crossroad. We all want to see the great City of Raytown making the right decisions and headed in the right direction. I believe the charter, if written correctly, can be a tool to aid Raytown in recognizing problems and avoid some of the potential pitfalls our community faces. In Missouri, a town without a charter operates under state rules. That means Raytown is now governed by state statute due to not having a charter. A charter serves as a town’s constitution and will outline the structure of town government and the distribution of powers within that
government under the Missouri State Constitution and state laws. For me, the charter is a defining document. It defines the structure of the city’s organization, describes the process by which important tasks are accomplished, clarifies the roles of individuals and groups who play a part in the governance process, and identifies who is accountable. There will be two questions on the ballot for the Tuesday, April 8, 2014 election concerning Raytown Charter. The first question would establish a charter commission. Secondly, the voters are also asked to choose a thirteen-member charter commission. The commissioners (when elected) will write a document that will enhance the city way of doing business for the next 10 to 20 years. I encourage you to support the development of a charter for Raytown, and would appreciate your vote to include me #6 on the ballot as a member of the commission. I can be reached at smile4jerome@yahoo.com Looking out for Raytown’s future! Jerome Barnes
dictorian of my 1981 Kansas City Police Academy class. Since that time I have earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy at UMKC while studying ethics and organizational decision making; and graduated from Northwestern University’s School of Police Supervision and Command. I serve as the Operations Bureau Commander of your Police Department. I chose to join the list of charter candidates because I believe that the people of Raytown deserve home rule; and I think that a charter can be drafted without the confusion and drama of the past efforts. The previous charter effort did not fail because of obstructionism, it failed because it was too messy and contentious for the voters to make an informed decision. That was true of both the process and the product. Already in this process the rhetoric about “progress” or “status quo” has begun. I chose to participate because I believe that the concept of home rule is independent of all of that kind of talk. Calm, reasoned, business-like effort
is required to understand the process and then make the decisions and, if necessary, the compromises to produce an acceptable product that can be clearly and easily communicated to the voters for their decision. This process should not be hampered by the decisions or issues that are past. It is not about the “who” currently in elected or hired positions, it is about the “what” and “how” of our local government. If we repeat the noisy processes of the past, it will hurt our business owners, our future business prospects and turn away new home-owners. My promise to you is that if you vote for the formation of a charter commission and choose me as one of those to serve on it, I will give my best effort to the collaboration necessary to produce something about which you can make an informed, reasoned decision. Please take time to vote April 8th. It is through your participation in our government that we will thrive.
Let me start by saying I will not bore you with a long life time bio. My name is Mary Jane Van Buskirk I have lived in Raytown at the same address for 42 years. Have had three sons and one grandson graduate from the Raytown school system. Yes, I am the wife of Alderman William (Bill) Van Buskirk who is currently serving his second term as Alderman in Ward 4. I have heard a few people say (some residents and some that are not) that I am just like my husband. Let me set the record straight, there are issues that we agree on but there are also issues that we have
different opinions about. The reason I am running for the Charter Commission is to see our city move forward. We do need a charter, but we need one for the right reasons. It would enable us to better govern our own city. I am in favor of electing our Chief of Police and our Judge. I don’t favor a complicated charter, we have tried that in the past several times and it failed each time. I would appreciate your vote on April 8th. Lets move Raytown forward, but we need do it for the right reasons.

Sunday, March 23, 2014 at St. Luke’s Hospice House. Don leaves a legacy for care, compassion and dedication to serving others whether with their financial needs through his work at the credit union to his genuine love and care for every person he met. It became evident in these last days with Don that he truly did not know a stranger, turned his back on no one and was a man of the utmost integrity and love. The outpouring of love and support we were able to share with him from the many whose lives he touched humbled him greatly. His passion for life, love and his living faith in God is seen in his actions, words and deeds. His family was his most prized possession and he leaves all of us with the legacy of his love, leadership and faith. He leaves behind his wife of
nearly forty years Robin Werner Good, his sons Matthew (Carli), Nathan (Sarah) and Timothy. Don also leaves the “light of his eyes” grandchildren Alyssa, Jack, Aiden, Cole and Grant. Also surviving are his sister-in-love Lorrie (Les) Hamilton and nephews Joshua and Jacob. He is also survived by his Aunt and Uncle Betty and Charles Hicks, a special Aunt by marriage, Helen Wilson and a host of cousins, friends, and neighbors. A Prayer Service and Celebration of Don’s life was held at St. Teresa’s Academy, Kansas City, MO on March 26, 2014. A Mass of Christian Burial took place on March 27 St. Margaret of Scotland Parish, Lee’s Summit.

“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
