Raytown Recreation Pool & Billiards Hosting Tournament By Diane Krizek Editor Pool and billiards has been a Raytown tradition for nearly 70 years. Doug Brink of Raytown Recreation Pool and Billiards aims to continue that tradition. His family has run this pool hall since his father, Don, acquired it in 1970 and devoted the rest of his life to the game after a 20year career at Bendix. To generate a little excitement, they’re hosting a Nine-Ball Pool Tournament with a $20 buy-in. First prize is $120, second prize $75, third prize $40 and fourth place wins $25 which is $5 more than the buy-in. No professionals will be allowed for this tournament that will be held on either a Saturday or Sunday afternoon at
2:00 p.m. There’s still time to get in on the action. If you’ve never played pool at Raytown’s pool hall, it’s time to get acquainted with the last of its kind in the Kansas City area. It’s iconic neon sign at 10012 E. 63rd Street marks the entrance to the stairs that leads down to the basement of a building that used to be a general store built by Herman Rieder back in the day. It’s the only building on the block with a basement. Norman Hussey bought the store and converted the basement into a pool hall in the Fifties. The concrete floors were always bare so Don added carpet for the comfort of his customers. He found an old warehouse in the West Bottoms of Kansas City where he bought ten 30-foot rolls of car-
pet at $10 each that came out of the former Alameda Plaza now the Intercontinental Hotel at Wornall and Ward Parkway. The oriental carpets are threadbare but they add character to the place. You’ll find nine pool tables surrounded by walls covered with photos and memorabilia, including fairly recent articles written by Donald Bradley of the KC Star about this historic pool hall and its 102 yearold Big Bertha. Next to the Bertha, a five by ten foot pool table, sits the impressive Belgium-made heated Verhoven billiards table. The Brinks would love to see more pool players take to billiards, a sport popular in Mexico and Europe, but faded from the American scene about fifty years ago when gents in suits and

By Diane Krizek Editor The first Raytown Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) graduated on June 3, 2014, in a brief ceremony that took place at Raytown City Hall. While some municipalities in the area do not have a CERT, Raytown can be proud that it now has a 23-member team which is an admirable start. The Raytown Police Department sponsored the first CERT training class this year under the command of Capt. Michelle Rogers who will replace Frank Stranimier, Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, when he retires. The training was a collaboration between Raytown’s Police Department, Fire Protection District, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and Lee’s Summit Bomb Squad. This initiative could not have been done without the organization skills of Marilyn Fleming, Community Service Unit Coordinator for the police department. Paul and Joe Watts, a father and son team from the Eastern Jackson County Emergency Management, were the main instructors for the training class. The Watts are also members of the Raytown Amateur Radio Club. After seven weeks of verbal training, the CERT class had a chance to apply their skills on May 31 with a hands-on drill in a mock

There is no rack of balls or pockets in the table for what Doug calls a game of “geometry and motion.” The cue ball must bounce off the cushion at least three times before hitting its target. Raytown Recreation has a diverse following of customers. Robert Copeland, who has been playing there for 50 years says, “It’s too late to quit.” Donna Ries of Brookside, Julie Venable of Lee’s Summit and Donna Adams of Raytown meet twice a week to play pool. “We used to meet at Premier Bowl where they have only two tables so we decided to try this pool hall and we’ve been here ever since,” explained Ries. In 1973, Ries placed second in the U.S. Open Straight Pool Championship with

earthquake disaster, the failure of the Madrid Fault. REAP graciously provided the use of their facility to host this exercise where volunteers played the roles of victims with various injuries such as burn and eye injuries and contusions. The team had to rescue a victim trapped under fallen debris, deal with a death and come to the aid of a mother and child separated from each other. The triage team had to quickly prioritize the victim’s medical needs and take appropriate action. After the end of the exercise, the CERT class participated in the “hot wash” where learning is reinforced with their self evaluation of how they handled their assignments and what they could’ve done better along with the shared observations of their instructors. Paul Watts reminded the team, “Everybody, no matter their age or class, wants to be called by name so introduce yourself and get their name. Keep them informed about what is being done for them.” Linda Chase of the Independence CERT stressed the importance of volunteers in a disaster. “The Joplin tornado took out fire, EMS and police so they had to rely on volunteers from the area that saved millions of dollars. The cost of recovery was reduced to hundreds of thousands of dollars thanks to the value of a huge number of volunteers who worked the
Raytown CERT in front of City Hall after graduation ceremony area”, she said. President of the Raytown Chamber, Vicki Turnbow, graduated with the CERT class. She would like businesses to consider making a disaster plan. “Some Raytown busi-
ness owners live in Raytown. Do they have secondary location where they can maintain operations?” she challenged. “Another important aspect in developing a plan is that we need to get agreements in place
with local businesses that have assets and resources to offer in a disaster. Those resources can be either donated to FEMA, a nonprofit,

The Raytown Farmers Market Is Open For Business By Janet Emerson Raytown Farmer’s Market The Raytown Farmers’ Market opened Thursday, May 29, at 6210 Raytown Road across from the downtown green space. Vendors sold produce, as well as plants, baked goods, table accessories, aprons, blankets and flowers. They included Stony Crest Urban Farm, Sister Friends Specialties, Emmanuel Kip’s Garden, Apron Strings and Other Things. Over 50 people attended the opening on Thursday and Saturday was another great day drawing over 100 people. They were very pleased that Raytown residents now have their own Farmers’ Market. Due to several months of cool weather, the high quality produce was limited but there were several types of lettuce, as well as onions
and radishes, and a large number of potted vegetables and herbs ready for planting. The chocolate mint thyme

Financial Audit Shows City In Good Shape By Mallory Ragon Representatives from Cochran Head & Vick, P.C., presented a financial audit report to the Raytown Board of Aldermen on Tuesday. The audit covered the year ending October 31, 2013, and provided a largely positive review to the city staff. The primary concern addressed in the report was
one summary statement: “No difficulties or disagreements with management – however there were some delays in receiving certain audit schedules.” Michael Keenan, of Cochran Head & Vick, explained that this issue was an understandable one, given that a financial director was not available at all times. Mahesh Sharma, city administrator, further clarified that in ad-
dition to losing key financial personnel, the city also transitioned to a new software system. As Keenan said, once you get behind it’s very difficult to keep up. He noted that management has provided an action plan to address some of the auditor’s recommendations, and that a change from a monthly reconciliation process to daily reconciliation is already nearly complete.

Board Approves City Hall Bathroom Updates But Tables Board Room Renovations By Mallory Ragon The Board of Alderman unanimously approved renovations to the bathrooms on the top level of City Hall at their regular session on June 3. This project is completely separate from proposed changes to the board room and is estimated to cost approximately $85,000. In addition to upgrading toilets and fixtures, the color scheme will be updated and small tiles replaced with 12-inch by 18-inch tiles to minimize the appearance of uncleanliness. The Board agreed to table discussion of proposed renovations to the City Hall board room or chambers. After a lengthy discussion of the cost associated with the project and whether renovations are needed at all, many expressed their intention to vote against the project due to the almost $94,000 price tag and concerns about the addition of
storage in the room. The board will reconsider the project at their next regular session, scheduled for June 17. The City Hall, which was built in 1975, is not known to have had any renovations since it opened. The renovation plan presented to the Board includes the addition of storage closets at the south end of the room, which is rounded and features a painted mural detailing the city’s history. The mural would remain as it stands today: walls would be erected on either side to create closed storage space for extra tables and chairs, as well as audio and visual equipment. Many of the aldermen expressed trepidation about this addition, citing a reluctance to add closets to the room and fear of lost capacity. Andy Noll, director of public works, did his best to dissuade those fears: Since
the room is curved, using the two back corners is not particularly effective for increasing the capacity and they are typically already used for storage of extra tables and chairs. With the proposed project, a stationary camera at the front will be replaced with an updated, remotecontrolled camera system—this will allow for added chairs in front, previously removed to allow panning of the camera. Noll said that any seats lost to the storage areas will be added to the front of the public seating area. The project also proposes replacement of carpet, the removal of stairs to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), hanging drywall over the portion of ceiling currently paneled in wood, upgrades to the lighting, new paint, and other improvements to its appearance and modern functionality.
Another recommendation from the auditor, one that the city has received before, is to have an accounting manual. While admitting that creating such a manual is no small project, and could take 1218 months to create, Keenan stressed its importance. By the numbers, the city’s general fund has increased by $100,000 over the last year, in addition to increases in tax in-
crement financing (TIF) funding, sales tax and other funds. Alderman Pat Ertz asked whether, by this report, the city was headed in the right direction or might be characterized as regressing. The consensus from his fellow aldermen and city staff agreed that the city is moving in the right direction. Mayor David Bower looked back to eight years
ago: “Things weren’t so rosy back then. I want to commend you, sir [Sharma], and your administration for all you’ve done.” Cochran Head & Vick is an independent auditor that has been serving the metro area since 1975. They are a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Raytown Residents Raise Concerns About Code Violations By Mallory Ragon Two Raytown residents voiced concerns about the city during the public comments portion of the June 3 board of aldermen meeting. Mary Ann Van Buskirk, wife of Alderman Bill Van Buskirk, addressed the board by noting that she appealed to them as a private, tax-paying citizen and not as an alderman’s wife. She said that she had recently heard a program on the radio discussing the difficulty of young married couples getting into the housing market, and urging the board to see Raytown as an opportunity to meet the need for affordable housing. “Why don’t we market
Raytown?” she pleaded. She quickly changed tactics and expressed many concerns about the state of the city, citing the decline in the quality of schools since she and her husband moved to Raytown in 1972 and the numerous code violations through the area. “We got problems,” she said, asking the aldermen to drive through their wards and report the code violations they see. She referenced a neighboring property that sat vacant for a number of months, prompting her and another neighbor to take turns mowing the yard to keep up a pleasant appearance. “I thought to myself, nobody else cares—why should I?”
Sandy Hartwell also addressed the aldermen, describing a vacant, bankowned property in her neighborhood that has had all manner of exterior issues, including a backyard tree that laid, fallen into the house, for months. She explained her frustration that calls to the city basically ended with one message: “There’s nothing we can do. If you want that taken care of, talk to your alderman.” “If you want the city to grow,” Hartwell said, “we’ve got to take care of the codes problems.” As she took her seat, Van Buskirk applauded her before whispering, “Come back next month if that’s what it takes.”

Take Me Out To The Ballgame. Please?
OPINION This Letter to the Editor was spoken during the public comments at the June 3, 2014, Board of Alderman Meeting. Mr. Mayor, Board of Alderman, thank you for your time today. My name is Paul Davidson. For several years the lack of participation in the Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) program with the Mid-America Regional Council has been very discouraging to me. This community now seems to tell the area we are a green and earth friendly city when a much deserved farmers market is opening up downtown and a partnership between Raytown Police Dept. and Public Water Supply #2 has taken initiative to have collection events and establish a drop box for prescription drugs. Public Works is using propane. Why does the city continue to decide that HHW is not a necessary issue to address for Raytown residents? I really can appreciate the fact, in formulating the city budget, that other crucial priorities take precedence. However, the cost of $1.04 per resident for a city our size, does not make this a viable expense or excuse not to participate and has little weight
in making the decision in whether to pay the cost to put the program in place. I am not saying our elected officials and city personnel do not care but disposal and collection of hazardous waste is a city service we deserve. In regards to the recycling center as well as HHW, I’m confident waste management at a city level isn’t questioned enough and is undertested. Hazardous materials are essential to our health and creature comforts in life. But materials we all take for granted at some point become hazards when improperly stored or disposed and pose dangers to environmental, human health, and, in extreme cases, public safety. The following are some facts and notes about hazardous waste… • According to the 2013 3rd quarter Missouri Hazardous Waste Management Commission report, Missouri recycled 43.5% of 328,500 tons managed in 2011. • The same report stated proper hazardous waste management provides economic benefits and required less energy. • According to the EPA, the average household in 2014 had 20 – 30 lbs. of
hazardous waste on hand at any one time and generated 100 lbs. annually. • Since May 24, 2014, three different city employees stated to me that they were city residents and wanted to see a program in place. • One city employee said specifically he received at least one call every week about disposal of chemical or hazardous waste. • An area ReMax real estate agent and an environmental representative at MARC twice noted the level and variety of city services is an attractive feature to prospective buyers. • In 2013, a collection event in Lee’s Summit handled 655 cars with 35 tons of waste and Liberty handled 577 cars with 30.2 tons. Those counts equated to approximately 0.7% and 1% of the population respectively. This again reiterates there is no excuse for not having a program in place. To end this plea to the city and elected leaders, the notion of hazardous waste disposal being a luxury service in Raytown is a poor opinion and I will continue to ask for expedience in providing this service.
Jason Offutt It was the perfect night for baseball. Sunny, with temperatures in the mid70s and my family was there. Oh, yeah. My family. We were at a baseball game I’m the only person in my family who likes baseball. I take that back. I’m the only person in my family who likes sports. The Boy enjoys watching football with me for the cheese dip and chili at halftime, but once the food’s gone, so is he. When attending a sporting event comes up, my wife tells horror stories of childhood baseball games. So why aren’t I going alone? Oh, yeah, the bounce house. The May 28 St. Joseph Mustangs game versus the Rossville Rattlers* was “Life’s a Beach Night.” Dollar nachos, $2.50 margaritas, and a bounce house to keep the kids from asking for food between every pitch. Perfect. With nachos and enough napkins for everyone – seriously, everyone in the
ballpark. Offutts are messy – we found our seats just in time for the first pitch. First Inning: “Hey,” the Boy said. “She got more nachos than me.” The Girl, whose eating methods can best be described as the Pick and Giggle, is always the last person eating. Her plastic bowl was half full. The Boy’s was empty. “She didn’t get more than you,” my wife said. “She just eats slower. Now calm down.” He stared at his mother for a minute, looking for any loophole that would lead to more nachos. Situations like this make me wonder if he’ll go into law. Second Inning: The Girl tugged at my wife. “I want to go to the bouncy house.” Bottom of the Second: “What are they doing?” my wife asked. One of the beautiful things about having a nine and seven year old is they’re big enough we can parent without standing, or walking. “I don’t know,” I said. He’d stood with his sister by the bounce house for half an inning. I got up to check. It’s not like I wanted to watch the game or anything. Third Inning: “The bounce house costs a dollar,” I told my wife when I got back to our seats. “That’s (colorful expletive),” she said, and got up to complain. Bottom of the Third: My wife sat down. “She can bounce all night for free.”
I don’t know what she said or to whom, and I don’t want to know. Fourth Inning: “Can we get peanuts?” the Boy asked. “Not now,” I said. “I’m trying to watch the game.” Fifth Inning: “Can we get popcorn?” the Boy asked. “Not now. I’m trying to watch the game.” Sixth Inning: “Do you want to split a chili dog?” my wife asked. Really? Am I the only one who realizes there’s a game? Bottom of the Sixth: The Girl showed up, her hair matted with sweat. “They told me I had to take a break from bouncing.” She complains about family walks yet can bounce for three innings. Seventh Inning: We bought ice cream and went home. Yep, we lasted until the seventh inning, which is a record for us. My family was asleep before we hit the interstate. My goal is to see an entire game one of these days. Maybe. *Rossville, I discovered, is a city somewhere in central Kansas.

Obituaries Albert “Al” H. Buddemeyer Jr. Albert “Al” H. Buddemeyer Jr. June 27, 1926 - May 24, 2014. On the morning of Saturday, May 24th, Al joined the love of his life, Betty (his wife of 65 years) in Heaven. Al is survived by his sister, June White, sons Gary (Jill), Mark (Cindy), daughters, Gerianne Riley (Bill) and Joy Brimm (Rob), grandchildren, Derek, Damian (Serena), Mark and Carly Berger (Steve), 7 great grandchildren as well as other children that called him “Grandpa Al”. Al was known for building and fixing things. . . he built the family home, motorbikes, go-karts, worked on cars, tractors, lawnmowers, you name it, he could fix it. But most importantly, he built a marriage and family with a strong foundation. He taught us to love God and others, respect, honesty, compassion, instilled in us a strong work ethic, plus that added streak of stubbornness, appreciation of the outdoors–fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, ice skating, skiing, national landmarks. We were fortunate to experience life on a farm “in the city” - acreage, horses, cows, dogs, cats, a raccoon as well as an assortment of wild animals.

“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
