JSL Competed In Week Long Competition To Renovate Apartments For Homeless Teens The Junior Service League of Independence Provisional Class of 2014 organized a week long project from March 31 through April 5 in which active and sustaining members of the organization competed to renovate two studio apartments. The redesigned apartments are located on Steppingstone’s Kansas City campus at 5100 Noland Road. The goal of project, “Extreme Apartment Makeover: Stepping Stone Edition”, was to provide local, young women in need with fully furnished, beautifully designed apartments with all the amenities and JSL members know what girls like and appreciate. Eden Dowler, the Vice President of this year’s Provisional Class is a Raytown resident who led the way to make this project possible. Although Steppingstone is located in Kansas City, many of the students in its program attend Raytown Schools and work in Raytown. Continued on page 7

Jackson County Moves Forward With Eastern Jackson County Courthouse Renovations For the second time in two years, Jackson County is taking on the task of completing a major renovation to one of its courthouses. At the regular weekly meeting of the Jackson County Legislature on Monday, April 7, County Executive Mike Sanders and Presiding Judge Marco Roldan of the 16th Circuit Court provided an update on the planned renovations for the Eastern Jackson County Courthouse in Independence.
A rendering of what the courthouse will look like upon completion.

Some of the work is already underway. In January, Jackson County Public Works crews began tuck pointing the exterior of the courthouse, which was last renovated in 1972. Tuck pointing is a process that involves restoring the joints of a building so it is sealed properly and protected from water leaks. That work will be completed in early summer.
As that work is finished, bids will go out for the interior renovations. Highlights of the interior work will include five new courtrooms and a new jury room that features double the square footage and capacity as it stands cur-
rently. “When this project is complete, we believe this facility will be able

Former Raytown Science Teacher Named To National Teachers Hall Of Fame
Jan Alderson, former Raytown science teacher, was one of five inductees in the 2014 National Teachers Hall of Fame after a rigorous nomination/ application process. Alderman began teaching 45 years ago in the Raytown School District and retired after 31 years. After she retired, the Shawnee Mission School District invited her to make use of its 23-acre environmental science laboratory that includes a creek for water and invertebrate testing where she has spent the last 14 years working under Dr. Joe Gilhaus. Tes Mehring, board member of the Emporia-based National Teachers Hall of Fame recognized Alderson last month at a Shawnee Mission South High School assembly. Also present was Mark Hoffman who has a PhD in bacteriology and is a faculty member at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. He studied under Alderson at Raytown South High School in the 1980s and attributed her inspiration and influence in his career which also included a stint at Cerner. Over her career, Alderson has received other teaching awards, one of which was finalist in the National Aeronautic’s and Space Administration’s Teacher in Space Program. The program ended in 1986 when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded and killed teacher Christa McAuliffe. The National Teachers Hall of Fame was established in 1992 and has its home at Emporia State University in Kansas. Alderson is the ninth Kansas educator to be so honored in the hall’s 22-year history and the sixth Kansas City area educator among its 115 inductees. Alderson will be formally inducted during ceremonies in May in Washington, D.C., and in June in Emporia.

Courthouse continued from page 1
pendence Courthouse. Since 2012, one of every five cases filed in Independence have been transferred to Kansas City. Presiding Judge Roldan noted the urgency and importance of this project. “It is much needed because we are basically busting at the seams. The caseloads for judges in eastern Jackson County are at a minimum of 33% higher than the judges in downtown Kansas City.” Other planned improvements will include as well as
a new elevator, refurbished restrooms as well as a new and enlarged entry for the public. Last fall, the county reopened the Historic Truman Courthouse on the Independence Square. Several county departments, including Assessment, Collections, and the Recorder of Deeds moved into the Truman Courthouse this past September. Those moves opened up the necessary space to add additional courtroom space in the Eastern Jackson County Court-
house. The $7.3 million renovation project to the Independence courthouse will be completed at no additional expense to county taxpayers. Current estimates call for the renovations to be completely finished in sometime late 2015 or early 2016. “These are renovations that will work both financially for the county as well as long-term for the courthouse in terms of operations,” said County Executive Sanders.
to serve the needs of the citizens of eastern Jackson County for at least the next 20-40 years,” said County Executive Sanders. In 2013, 41% of all cases in the 16th Circuit Court were filed in Independence, yet only 30% of Circuit Court and Associate Circuit Court judges are based at the Inde-

Students Present Research At National Undergraduate Conference Two Bethel College students presented their research at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR) April 3-5 on the campus of the University of Kentucky, Lexington. Seniors Laura Jensen, Everest, and Rachel Unruh, Raytown, exhibited a poster based on their work in a Cognitive Psychology laboratory in spring 2013. The title of the poster was “Stereotype Spillover Effects on Women in Mathematics.” Jensen and Unruh’s study, done collaboratively with other members of their Cognitive Psychology class, was
based on previous literature on stereotype threat in women with reference to mathematics testing, and stereotype spillover. Stereotype threat can occur when a person is put into an environment or situation where s/he feels s/he may be negatively stereotyped and, as a result, because of increased anxiety and emotional vigilance, performs worse than if s/he had been in a stereotype-free environment. Stereotype threat may have spillover effects that last after the individual leaves the threat-filled environment, which leads to continuing
loss of executive control. Jensen and Unruh examined spillover effects by measuring performance not only in a mathematics test but also in a color-naming task, and by simultaneously measuring a brain electrical response (called “error-related negativity”) believed to be related to a person’s process of monitoring her/his own errors. The pair and their colleagues started with the perceived stereotype that men do better than women in mathematics, and used an evaluated method called “reappraisal” for lessening that stereotype threat.
City Administrator’s Report
By Mahesh Sharma City Administrator Building inspections have been done for three footings for the new Willow Bend Development at the 5100 Block of Westridge Circle. The 2014 Spring Newslet-
ter is available on the City’s Website at www.raytown. mo.us. The newsletter includes a $5 discount coupon for SuperSplash USA for Raytown residents only. Please note the coupon for drop off centers in the newsletter is a sample. Drop off center coupons have to be purchased through the Public Works department at Raytown City Hall. Engage Raytown has added new topics for discussion. Don’t be out of the loop, join the conversation at http://raytownmo.mindmixer.com. We also have heard from the public that you want us to leave the topics up longer to give you more time to comment, thanks for the suggestion! The City of Raytown will
be hosting a school supplies drive during the month of April. A barrel will be available in City Hall for any drop offs. Schools often find themselves short of supplies at this time of year and our employees are eager to help them. The Fox Drugs building at 63rd and Raytown Road was damaged by a vehicle on November 26, 2013. Repairs have begun on the front entrance. We’ve had over 71 roofers in the area. Each company needs a business license and a permit to do work. If companies go door to door, they will need a solicitor’s license. If anyone has problems please call Andy Boyd, Building Official, at 7376186.
Raytown School District Employees Of The Year The Raytown School District is pleased to announce the 2014-2015 building and site level Support Staff Employees of the Year. Nominees will be interviewed by a panel of judges. The District’s Support Staff Employee of the Year will be announced at the annual breakfast held on Thursday, April 17. 2014-2015 Support Staff Employees of the year are: Stephanie Archie, Administration; Sarah Norman, Blue Ridge Elementary; Hannah Overfelt, Eastwood Hills Elementary; Kathy McCauley, Fleetridge Elementary;
Rhonda Finch, Laurel Hills Elementary; Sandy Kilkenny, Little Blue Elementary; Matrika Hornsby, New Trails Early Learning Center; Pam Tague, Norfleet El-
ementary; Brianne Wesche, Northwood School; Kathleen Moore, Raytown Central Middle; Rocky Scarcello, Raytown High School; Adriana Hull, Raytown Middle School; Joe Craig, Raytown South High School; Julie Neumann, Raytown South Middle School; Kathy Ryan, Robinson Elementary; Matt Campbell, Southwood Elementary; Karen Clevenger, Spring Valley Elementary; Julie Neumann, Raytown South Middle; Kevin Prosser, Technology; Paula Jones, Transportation; and Steve Fifer, Westridge Elementary.
They found that, on the contrary, women in their study of 46 Bethel students actually did worse with reappraisal. Since the “non-reappraisal” women did no worse than male controls, it appears the women may not have suffered stereotype threat in the first place, while the reappraisal group may have been led to question their own performance more than they ordinarily would have. In addition, the non-reappraisal group showed greater brain activity indicative of error monitoring during color naming, a task that common-
ly induces many errors. The teacher for the lab in which the research originated was Bethel graduate Brad Celestin, now a graduate student in social psychology and cognitive neuroscience at Indiana University. The students’ other faculty mentor was Dwight Krehbiel, Bethel professor of psychology, who accompanied Jensen and Unruh to NCUR. More than 4,200 undergraduate students and faculty from institutions across North America attended NCUR. Students from all disciplines presented their work in poster sessions, oral
sessions, exhibits and performances throughout the weekend. Krehbiel has taken students to NCUR, which meets on a different campus each spring, a number of times in the past. “This conference is quite an educational experience for students of all disciplines,” he said. The only other Kansas college or university represented at NCUR was the University of Kansas. “I think I may have taken half the Kansas students [who were at] this conference,” Krehbiel said.

Voters Pass All Ballot Issues
OPINION A Budget Is A Moral Document
Emmanual Cleaver I do not believe slashing Head Start and forcing parents to stay home from work is the right way to go. I do not believe adding debt to college students while giving tax breaks to big oil companies is the right way to go. And I don’t believe ending the Medicare guarantee for our seniors, raising taxes on the middle class, and cutting jobs – in order to cut taxes for millionaires – is the right way to go. There is a lot of debate right now on Capitol Hill when it comes to the budget. I believe we must have a solid budget that responsibly reduces the deficit, protects hard-working, middle class Americans, and keeps in place a strong safety net, one that ensures our children have enough to eat, promises made to our seniors are kept, and that we don’t cater to the rich at the expense of the poor. The common term for the Republican budget is called the Ryan Budget. I don’t like to call it that, because in pointing out problems with it, it implies a criticism of the person. I don’t harbor any ill will toward the man, only a disagreement with the ideas.
For instance, Missouri’s Fifth District has 27,290 current and former federal employees. The proposed GOP Budget would essentially cut their pay by 6%. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) reports this proposed Republican budget gets 69% of its cuts from programs that would help our most vulnerable Americans. These are our neighbors, our friends, and the folks sitting next to us in the church pews. According to the CBPP: • Medicaid and subsidies to help low and moderate income people buy private insurance would be cut by $2.7 trillion. • At least 40 million of these Americans – 1 in 8 people – would become uninsured in the next decade alone. • The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) would suffer $137 billion in cuts over the next decade. Almost half of the people served by SNAP are children. • Pell Grants for low and moderate income students would be cut by up to $125 billion. • An additional $385 billion would be cut from programs that serve the elderly, the disabled, provide school lunches to kids whose families can’t afford them, and tax credits for child care so parents can work. And where are the jobs in this proposed budget? There are numerous cuts to critical investments, but no talk of jobs. We need to help create jobs in this country, not stand in the way of that. We need to keep jobs here at home, not
outsource them to other countries. We need training, trade policies, and tax incentives to put American workers on the job, by manufacturing things here, in America. Just this week, the jobs report was released for March. For the 49th consecutive month now, our country has seen private sector job creation. March marked a pivotal month – as we, finally, hit the number signifying we have recovered all of the private sector jobs lost in the devastating economic recession. This is NOT a time to go backwards. We need to expand our good-paying jobs, not eliminate them. We need to increase our minimum wage, lifting millions of Americans out of poverty and revitalizing the economy. We need to extend emergency unemployment insurance to those who are desperately searching for work. A renewal would bring critical relief to some 49,300 Missourians. And for heaven’s sake … women should make equal pay for equal work! We should be caring more about what we are doing for hard-working Americans’ pocketbooks – than for multimillionaires’ portfolios. A budget is a moral document, it shows where our priorities lie. I do not believe we should be leading our country down the path of creating more wealth for millionaires, while our seniors, our students, and the very backbone and strength of our country - the middle class - pay the price. It is not right.

Phone Scam Alleging Relative In Financial Or Legal Crisis The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center continues to receive reports of telephone scams involving calls that claim their “relative” is in a legal or financial crisis. These complaints are sometimes referred to as the “Grandparent Scam.” Scammers use scenarios that include claims of a relative being arrested or in a car accident in another country. Scammers often pose as the relative, create a sense of urgency and make a desperate plea for money to victims. It is not unusual for scammers to beg victims not to tell other family members about the situation. The scammers also impersonate third parties, such as an
attorney, law enforcement officer, or some other type of official, such as a U.S. Embassy representative. Once potential victims appear to believe the caller’s story, they are provided instructions to wire money to an individual, often referred to as a bail bondsman, for their relative to be released. Some complainants have reported the callers claimed to be from countries including, but not limited to: Canada, Mexico, Haiti, Guatemala, and Peru. Callers often disguise themselves by using telephone numbers generated by free applications or by spoofing their numbers. If you receive this type of
call: • Resist the pressure to act quickly. • Verify the information before sending any money by attempting to contact your relative to determine whether or not the call is legitimate. • Never wire money based on a request made over the phone or in an e-mail, especially to an overseas location. Wiring money is like giving cash—once you send it, you cannot get it back. Individuals who have fallen victim to this type of scam are encouraged to file a complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center, http:// www.ic3.gov.
Food Stamp Assistance Measure Advances To House State Sen. Shalonn “Kiki” Curls, D-Kansas City, is sponsoring legislation this session that would repeal the lifetime ban for food stamp assistance in Missouri. Senate Bill 680 received bipartisan support on its final passage in the Missouri Senate. Senator Curls’ legislation would allow an individual who has a drug felony conviction to be eligible for food stamp benefits. The legislation lays out requirements individuals must meet in order to participate in food stamp assistance, such as attending substance abuse treatment programs and com-
ply with all court-ordered obligations, among others. Senate Bill 680 also provides limitations for these benefits, banning those from receiving food stamps if they have had three subsequent drug felony offenses after they are released from custody. In addition, individuals would also have to meet other factors required for food stamp eligibility. “For a number of years while serving in the General Assembly, I’ve filed legislation designed to extend requirements for food stamp assistance for certain Missourians who have felony con-
victions for possession or use of a controlled substance — murders, child molesters, and rapists are currently eligible for this assistance,” said Sen. Curls. “By allowing these individuals to get back on track by lifting the lifetime food stamp ban for felony drug convictions, we can help these citizens move past the stigma of being a past offender and once again become productive members of our society.” With the Senate’s final approval of Senate Bill 680 last week, the legislation now moves to the House for similar consideration.

Spamalot O’Hara’s Theater Production of Spamalot is taking place on April 10th, 11th and 12th, at 7:00 PM. The cost of the show is $8 for adults and $6 for students and over 65 years of age. Lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy
Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Spamalot retells the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, and features a gang of chivalrous knights, a bevy of beautiful maidens, not to mention cows, killer rabbits, and French people.
Did we mention the bevy of beautiful maidens? We hope you can join us for a night of side splitting comedy at Monty Python’s Spamalot in the AOHS Theater. Find out more at www.oharahs.org

Mardi Gras Is Over...Or Is It? David Reed
• 1 (16 ounce) can tomatoes • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt • 1 teaspoon sugar • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chili powder • Dash bottled hot pepper sauce • 2 teaspoons cornstarch • 1 tablespoon cold water • 12 ounces frozen shelled shrimp, thawed • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
I love this time of year, not so much because spring is in the air, birds are chirping and trees are starting bud. I love it for a more practical reason - every grocery store in the metro has seafood on sale - and more specifically...shrimp. I found a tasty Shrimp Creole recipe many years ago that strikes a nice middle ground between “melt your lips off” Cajun cooking and bland “shrimp with ketchup.”
Shrimp Creole
oil
Ingredients • 1/2 cup chopped onion • 1/2 cup chopped celery • 1 clove garlic, minced • 3 tablespoons cooking
Preparation 1. In skillet cook onion, celery, and garlic in oil until tender but not brown.
Shrimp Creole
2. Add tomatoes, tomato
sauce, salt, sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, and hot pepper sauce. Simmer uncovered 45 minutes. 3. Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water; stir into sauce. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. 4. Add shrimp and green pepper. Cover; simmer 5 minutes. Serving Serves 5 to 6 The original recipe said “For a glamorous touch, serve Shrimp Creole with a rice ring,” which is cooked rice pressed into a bundt pan. In our house we just spread out a bed of rice and pour on the creole.

Rotary Reads Program March is Rotary International’s literacy month. Every year the Raytown Rotary Club chooses an elementary school in the Raytown C-2 School District to read to the various classrooms. After sharing a story with the students and talking for a few minutes about the im-
portance of reading, each classroom receives a book donated by the Raytown Rotary Club. In exchange, Raytown Rotarians receive many smiles, some personal anecdotes, and many very special thank you notes from the students.

“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
