City Administrator’s Report
By Mahesh Sharma City Administrator
Google Fiber will have three crews in the City next week to start the task of installing permanent repairs for the many street cuts. The contractor anticipates several weeks before the work will be complete. Public Works has closed 82nd Street from Elm to Ditzler to through traffic to perform major roadway repair. The adjacent homeowners can still access their property along the roadway. The road has significantly deteriorated as a result of
the 83rd Street detour. The increased traffic from the detour accelerated the deterioration of the street and public works needs to perform major repairs to provide a safe roadway. Once the road is deemed safe for all traffic the street will be reopened. The repairs will be temporary as Public Water District #2 is planning to replace the nearby water main. Once the utility work is complete a permanent reconstruction of the roadway will be completed.
Argument At The Pumps Ends In Gunfire Raytown police were called to a QuikTrip in the 8700 block of East 63 Street about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, April 20, after receiving calls that a person had been shot. They found a 24 year-old man with a gunshot wound
to his abdomen. Reports state the victim got into an argument with at least two other men near the pumps. The man returned to his car when he heard a gunshot then realized he’d been shot in the stomach.
He was rushed to an area hospital, treated for his injuries and later released. No suspects were located. An investigation of the incident is underway and police are still looking for the suspects.
Matt Mace Appointed Raytown Fire Chief The Directors of the Raytown Fire Protection District are pleased to announce that Matthew Mace has been appointed as the fifth Fire Chief in the 70-year history of the Fire District. His promotion will be effective on May 1, 2014. Matthew had been serving as the interim fire chief since October 22, 2013.
Matthew became a paramedic in 1995 and started working for Raytown EMS in 1996. He was hired by the Fire District as a Firefighter/Paramedic in 1999. In 2007, he was promoted to Fire Marshal. Matthew is active in the community and resides in Raytown with his wife Rachelle and his children,
Zachary and Claire. The Directors cited his relationships with community leaders and organizations in addition to his knowledge of the Fire District and leadership during the interim period as factors in the decision to appoint him as the permanent fire chief.
security officer at Super Splash every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. Staff was given approval by the board to hire a second officer if needed. In the past, security was provided by the Raytown Police Department on an overtime basis. Due to changes in the City’s overtime policy, the police department notified parks staff that they cannot insure officers will be available and suggested that parks hire outside security.
The board reviewed bids for Super Splash radio ads that were much higher than expected and approved staff to go back and negotiate with Cumulus Media for ads not to exceed $4,000. The board was not convinced that radio ads are the best way to advertise. All Super Splash staff has been hired and training of lifeguards has begun. There are 70 lifeguards to train and certify before the pool opens. The Raytown Baseball Association has been
working to get Little Blue Trace ready for the season. They have been working on the parking lot and overall field prep. Raytown BMX is submitting a proposal for the 2015 National Red Line Finals. The local BMX club typically budgets $4,000 for portable toilets, trash removal, shade structures, EMTs and BMX national staff hotel rooms and rental cars. Sponsorships are needed to help underwrite the event to bring this race to Raytown.

Avoid Planting The Invasive Bradford Pear Tree Spring is a wonderful time to plant new trees and shrubs, but landscapers should be careful not to plant species that can harm native habitats such as woodlands. Bradford pear is an ornamental tree that has become invasive and chokes out native species in natural areas and parks. Gardeners and homeowners are urged to consider native alternatives for spring planting, such as the downy service-
berry. Bradford pears have been planted in the past because they produce white flowers in spring, are hardy, and experts
formerly considered them safe. Because they are hybrids, it was believed they could not produce viable seed but a varied mix of cultivars allowed some Bradford pears to cross pollinate and produce viable seed. Wildlife such as birds eat the fruits and scatter seeds, spreading the trees. Bradford pears, also called callery pears, compete well against native plants and trees because they leaf out early.
“It’s also not a good ornamental tree because they’re not strong,” said Wendy Sangster, an urban forester for Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC). “They don’t stand up well in storms and the limbs break easily.” An alternative is downy serviceberry, a native tree that produces a small red fruit edible for people and wildlife. The trees also produce showy white blooms in April and make good landscape additions. A reliable and always showy native is the redbud tree. They’re quick growing with lovely lavender early-spring flowers and shapely green summer foliage. Wild plum is another good alternative tree that provides showy white blooms in spring. Dogwood trees will grow and bloom in Kansas City if planted in shady areas. Butterflies and birds like native wildflowers and trees in landscape settings so they can utilize the flowers, fruits and sheltering branches. For information on natives, see http:// www.grownative.org. Downy serviceberry is a native tree that blooms in April and has edible fruit in summer

“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
