25th Annual Raytown Arbor Day Celebration By Diane Krizek Editor Rain threatened but cleared off in time to kick off the celebration that the Raytown Tree Board, Raytown Parks and Raytown Rotary Club organized to honor veterans and Arbor Day at Sarah Colman-Livengood Park on April 26. In the past, the Tree Board has engaged 3rd graders and teaching staff at various Raytown elementary schools in Arbor Day programs that typically included student choral music, a Missouri Department Conservation (MDC) urban forester presentation and sapling give away and planting a tree especially selected for the school. But to mark its 25th year of Arbor Day celebrations, the Raytown Tree Board and Raytown Parks chose to engage the entire community. Steve Bankston, president of the 5 member Tree Board, opened the ceremony welcoming the 60 people who huddled under the tent that was followed
Raytown Tree Board and veterans plant the Arbor Day Tree at Colman Park 2005 to celebrate the centennial of the worldwide International Rotary Club that promotes service above self “like our veterans”. The Peace Plaza started with the engraving of 80 names of Raytown veterans. The addition of seven more names this year increases that number to 121. Remarks by LTC Ryan Rydalch from Ft. Leavenworth included a story about an Army soldier from the Midwest that he came to know during his last deployment to Afghanistan. Even while recovering from in-

Your devotion to your nation, to your state and city is one of your strengths and one reason I am so glad my family has grown up here in the Midwest”, declared LTC Rydalch. Mark Nelson of the MDC shifted the focus of the ceremony to Arbor Day but not without linking trees to the patriotism of America’s early colonists. “In a

This enraged the colonists who launched the White Pine War and The Pine Tree Riot that eventually crippled the British Navy because pine masts became unobtainable. Nelson presented the Arbor Day Tree of the Year award to Steve Bankston of the Tree Board and Ron Fowler, Superintendent of Raytown Parks, who is liaison to the Tree Board. The Raytown Tree Board invited veterans to help them

Bill Vanbuskirk, Mayor Pro Tem, delivered the Mayor’s proclamation recognizing the “selfless service of our veterans”, the 140th anniversary of the Arbor Day that was founded in Nebraska in 1874 and officially proclaiming April 26, 2014 as Raytown Arbor Day.

Wright followed by the American Legion’s 21 gun salute and playing Taps. All of those present sang America, one of our country’s most beloved songs. The Tree Board passed out souvenir refrigerator magnets and Nelson handed out Eastern Red Cedar saplings as is MDC’s annual Arbor Day custom.

$5,290 Giveaway To Celebrate 529 College Savings Day®
OPINION
Letter To The Capitol The Honorable Timothy Jones Missouri House of Representatives 201 West Capitol Avenue, Room 308 Jefferson City, Missouri 65101 Dear Representative Jones: The Missouri General Assembly in on the verge of passing a Resolution that will place the safety and security of the citizens of Missouri in jeopardy. At first glance Senate Joint Resolution 36 appears to be an innocuously worded Resolution. However, we believe that it may ultimately have deadly unintended consequences. They include: Allowing convicted gang member and drug dealers to carry deadly weapons on our streets Allowing domestic violence defendants to continue
to possess deadly weapons despite evidence that they pose a threat to the life of their victims Allowing those that wish to do our children harm the right to carry deadly weapons into our schools No one can ensure the citizens of Missouri that these changes to our Constitution will not create these unintended consequences. Ultimately, Judges of this state will interpret these new words added to the Constitution and they will have to determine the impact and meaning of this resolution. The Constitution and lows of our State already protect the hunter, the lawful citizen, and those acting in self-defense. The Resolution provides them no new protection. Unfortunately the only ones that stand to benefit from this new language are gang members, drug dealers, domestic abusers,
and other criminals. On behalf of the citizens of our communities, please stand on the side of public safety and common-sense and refuse to engage in this potentially deadly political theatre. Please vote No on Senate Joint Resolution 36. Respectfully, Jean Peters Baker Prosecuting Attorney, Jackson County Jennifer M. Joyce Circuit Attorney, City of St. Louis cc: The Honorable Kurt Shaefer This letter was sent to Jefferson City on Wednesday by Attorneys Baker and Joyce in opposition to proposed changes to the Missouri Constitution. A full copy of Senate Joint Resolution 36 can be found at senate. mo.gov/14info/pdf-bill/intro/ SJR36.pdf
If The Warning Label Makes Sense You’re Too Far Gone
Jason Offutt As I was saying... The machine makes an awful noise, but it’s fun to play with. Ah, the paper shredder, an office worker’s version of a chainsaw. The shredder was one of the last presents my mom gave me, although as a journalist I wasn’t quite sure what kind of papers I had that were important enough to shred. Certainly nothing to do with my finances, which mainly consisted of the change I had left over after I paid my bar tab. Anything worth destroying I did the old fashioned way, I soaked it in gin and set it on fire. But since then I got married and found my wife is averse to me setting fires in our yard. I’ve also discovered the paper shredder is a great way to destroy eviden… Uh, old tax documents. Yeah. Old tax documents. Then, when recently destroying, uh, old tax docu-
ments, I saw something I’d never noticed before, a warning label, which is strange because it’s right on the top where you feed in the papers. Hmm. A warning label on something called a “paper shredder” seems a bit superfluous. I mean, come on, the machine is called a shredder. SHREDDER. That’s the main villain from “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” If you use this machine wrong it will roundhouse kick you in face. I thought that was understood. But there it was. “No jewelry. OK. “No paper clips.” Sure, yeah. That would damage the machinery. “No fingers.” I thought we’d been over this. It’s called a shredder. It shreds things. That’s all it does. Why did the manufacturer feel it necessary to tell the operator not to stick his fingers into the shredder? The warning should read, “No cheese.” I hate using a cheese grater. This would save so much time. “No neckties.” First, the image is funny. Some guy leans over, his tie gets stuck in the shredder; it pulls him closer and closer to the Knives of Doom. He shrieks because he doesn’t realize his thumb is right next to the well marked “off” button. Oh, slapstick comedy, you’ve desensitized me so. “No hair.” See, “No neckties.” This is where we sit today. On the shoulders of idiots. In what other country are there
product labels warning you that you shouldn’t use a Vidal Sassoon hairdryer while sleeping, music lovers shouldn’t eat their iPod Shuffle (but it said Apple on the box), people who buy a Rowenta iron should never “iron clothes while they are being worn,” or pyromaniacs shouldn’t put Black Cat firecrackers “in mouth.” Seriously? The reason these warning labels aren’t funny (they are) is simple. Someone had to do every one of these things. Fell asleep with a running hair dryer? Happened. Swallowed an iPod? Happened. Ironed clothes while wearing them? Heck, I’ve done it. In my defense, it’s not like I was ironing my pants. The article of clothing was a necktie, and I wasn’t inserting it into a paper shredder at the time. Shoved ignited firecrackers into a mouth? Happened, most probably in Arkansas. Political hacks, survivalists, and conspiracy theorists claim this country is seeing its last days. We are, but not from an impending apocalypse. It’s because we have people not smart enough to run a paper shredder. My head hurts. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com. A native of Missouri, Jason currently teaches journalism at Northwest Missouri State University and has earned many humor writer awards throughout his career.

Raytown Farmers’ Market Opening Postponed To May 29 Raytown Main Street Association announced that it is postponing the opening of Raytown Farmers’ Market until Thursday, May 29. In order to ensure a quality market, the decision to move the date was made to allow more growing time since many of our vendors do not have sufficient cool weather crops to bring to market. Feedback from smaller farmers has been taken into consideration. New community tents will be available to allow for multiple small farmers to share a space under one tent for a nominal fee which will hopefully attract more applications for these spots. These spaces are available on a first come, first serve basis.
The Farmers’ Market is always looking for more vendors, volunteers and entertainers to fill the market season schedule. Those interested should immediately contact RaytownFarmersmarket @gmail.com As with any brand new venture, there are always growing pains but the op-
portunity for Raytown to have it’s very own Farmers’ Market is important to building community in a centralized downtown as has been successfully done in other municipalities in the KC metro area. Community support this year will be crucial to the Market’s continued growth.

Obituaries Ralph W. Guyett Ralph W. Guyett, 82, of KC, died Sunday, April 27, 2014 at St. Luke’s Hospital. He spent 40 yrs. in the Litho business during which time he was part owner of Transamerica Color Systems. He leaves behind a wife, Betty Guyett; a brother, Glen of AZ; 2 sons, Ray & Valerie Guyett of Raytown and Steve Guyett of KC; 8 grandchildren & 17 great grandchildren. Per Ralph’s request there will not be a service. James Jefferson Haynes Morning sun and the sounds of birdsong marked the passing of our loving father and husband James Jefferson Haynes on April 22, 2014. Born in Mt. Pleasant, MO on June 2, 1933 to James C. and Luella B. Haynes, James moved to Kansas City as a young man, where he attended Northeast High School and worked at the Kansas City Star. After graduating in the class of ‘51, James served in the U.S. Army for 27 months, stationed in Germany. Returning to Kansas City after his honorable discharge, he resumed work at the Star.
A proud life-long union member and supporter, his profession led him to California and employment at the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner, the Oakland Tribune, and the San Jose Mercury News. With genuine fondness for the roar of the mailroom and the men and women who made sure that the paper always came out on time, James retired from the newspaper business where he began his career so many years before -- at the Star in 2007. James was preceded in death by his parents, sister Muriel Lee Morrison, father and mother-in-law Harry and Rosa Raybourn, brothersin-law Straton Raybourn and James L. Bock, sisterin-law Georgia Raybourn, niece Tami Bock, nephew and niece Harry Edward and Krystal Raybourn, and friend Tom Redenbaugh. He is survived by wife Charlene, sons James and Jeffrey, daughter- in-law Stephanie, grandsons Austin and Alec, great-grandchildren Tessa and Trent, their mother Niki Schank, nieces Melinda Surbaugh and Traci Morrison, sisterin-law Julia Ann Raybourn,
brothers and sisters-in- law W.B. and Leverne Raybourn, Harry Lee and Patty Raybourn, Fred and Diane Raybourn, and friends Nick Roper, Warren Lemberger, Sue Johnson and Teri Orlando. The family would like to thank Dr. John Michael Moore and the staff at Village Home Health.

Judy became a first time mother in 1971. In 1977 she divorced and moved into her parents’ house with her four children. Judy devoted her time to raising her kids and helping her parents and grandmother. Her days were filled with doing laundry, cooking and cleaning up after 7 and sometimes 8 people in the house. With 4 kids in school, a good deal of her time was also spent preparing snacks and treats for all the many classroom parties and field trips that she never missed. In 1996 with her youngest grown and out of the house, Judy devoted her time to caring for her parents’ many growing needs due to their health. She gave so much time and love to them to fulfill their wish of staying in their home for as long as possible. In January of 2006, Judy and her mother moved to Bickford House in Raytown. Judy did all that she could to help her mother adapt to their new home and helped make the next 8 months the best that her mother had in years until her passing. Judy later moved to Elliot Place in Raytown before moving to TMC Lakewood Care Center and her final home at Village House. Judy is greatly loved and is considered a gift to all of her friends and family. Judy is survived by her four children: Lynn, Grace, Ginger and Allen; their spouses; and 9 grandchildren.

Mirror Image Quilts The Raytown Historical Society Museum will pay tribute to 80 years of handicrafts and quilting by Gladys Harrison Bell in its May Ambassador program. A PowerPoint presentation will take place on Monday, May 5 at 10:00 a.m. at 9705 E. 63rd. This is a Quilt Show like no other, representing a lifetime of giving of her talents and time to others from 1916 to 2011. Every family event, marriages, births and holidays were an occasion for a lovingly sewn gift. Those who appreci-
ate the time and skill involved will be amazed at the variety of patterns and the perfection of the end results. The 1982 Celtic “Persian Treasure” made its way to Germany and quilts made in 2000 were wedding gifts for great grandchildren. Especially beautiful are the two “Mirror Image” quilts reversing the pattern from red to white. In the presentation you will hear the Story of the Underground Railroad in quilt patterns, which is quite an interesting history lesson. The story is
proudly told by her son, Howard Bell, a retired Raytown teacher and Raytown Hall of Fame honoree. The collection will remain at the Museum from May 5th through August of 2014. Words are inadequate to describe the exhibit so plan to attend the Ambassadors program on Monday then return to enjoy it again and again. You will not regret it! Museum hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

American Football In China Now Has A Missouri Connection By Diane Krizek Editor American football in China is a story that has been told in Forbes, USA Today Sports, The NY Times and more. While the NFL began promoting professional American football in China in September 2013, the American Football Union (AFU) has been promoting American football in Chinese universities for the past ten years. September 14, 2012 marked the first AFU American football game played in China in partnership with the NFL. The FUSC, China’s university sports governing body which is similar to NCAA, officially approved the First AFU All China University American Football Coaches Training Seminar that took place in Harbin University of Commerce (HUC) in August 2013.
“They learn teamwork, brotherhood and family that can never be copied. It must be experienced,” says Wang, “The FUSC is still in the infancy state but we couldn’t resist the opportunity to participate in the First World University Championship in Sweden this year. The AFU said we weren’t ready but we want China to have a football presence.” Jilin University, one of China’s largest universities located in Changchun, agreed to host an AFU competition in February 2014 to form teams. Out of 120 students, 80 were selected from universities in Bejing, Shanghai and Harbin. That’s when the connection to Missouri began. Brian Lee, who attended Raytown’s Robinson Elementary school and graduated from UMKC, happened to be teaching medical English to med

As for how China comes out at the First World University Championship this week, Wang’s responds, “Remember the Jamaican bobsled team who competed in the 1988 Winter Olympics?” Yes we do and Football players, an unlikely site on college campus in we saw them again in 2014.

He’s hosted international culture trips for youth, ages 8 to 13 years, and their families to youth football camps in Bejing.

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
