New Raytown Fire Chief Sworn In By Diane Krizek Editor Raytown Fire Chief, Matthew Mace, was officially sworn in and received his badge in a ceremony that took place on May 28 at Fire Station #1. He is only the fifth Fire Chief in the entire 70year history of the Raytown Fire Protection District. Firefighter/ Paramedic Matthew Hebl, Apparatus Operator/ Paramedic Thomas Ratterman and Apparatus Operator/ Paramedic Nathan Davis were also sworn in. Ratterman and Davis were promoted and Hebl was hired from outside of the department. Fire board president Robert Palmer and vice-president Barb Schlapia administered the oath and presentation of the badges and certificates of appointments.
The ceremony was conducted in front of family, friends, coworkers and City officials and ended with a reception of coffee, cake and punch. At the beginning of the ceremony, Chief Mace announced the restoration of badging ceremonies. “I don’t remember how we got to the point where it was ‘Hey, your badge came in’ and it got tossed across the room,” said Mace, “We all knew how significant it is to wear the badge so it’s time to get back to how we used to do it. This is the second ceremony we’ve performed in the last 90 days.” Chief Mace made remarks about each fireman. “Ratterman has a big heart and can make a mean biscuits and gravy.” “Nathan is our gauge. If somebody has a problem with Nathan then

Raytown Hosts First Women’s Pickleball Clinic
By Diane Krizek Editor On Saturday, May 31, Raytown Parks and Recreation hosted its first Women’s Pick-
leball Clinic in partnership with Pickleball Midwest. The Pickleball Clinic took place at the Sarah Colman-Livengood Park tennis courts, 5912 Lane Ave. Over 50 women participated
in the event instructed by Dee Davidson, a 5.0 rated Pickleball player from Buckeye, Arizona. Participants came from all over including Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. Davidson
Additional lines on the renovated tennis courts make up the pickleball courts
taught proper pickleball techniques such as serves, overhead shots, backhand shots, return shots and court positioning. The Colman tennis courts were renovated last year and pickleball lines were added to the courts. The pickleball court is similar to a doubles badminton court. The actual size of the court is 20×44 feet for both doubles and singles. The net is hung at 36 inches on the ends, and 34 inches in the middle. Pickleball is a paddle sport for two to four players of all ages and skill levels. It combines elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong and can be played both indoors and outdoors. The rules are simple and the game is easy for beginners to l e a r n but can develop into a quick, fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.
The history of pickleball goes back to the summer of 1965. Joel Pritchard, congressman from Washington State and Bill Bell, successful businessman, returned to Pritchard’s home near Seattle and found their families sitting around with nothing to do. Pritchard and Bell tried to start a game of badminton but couldn’t find a full set of rackets. They improvised with pingpong paddles and a perforated plastic ball. The net was initially set at the badminton height of 60 inches but the players discovered the ball bounced well on the asphalt so the net was lowered to 36 inches. Barney McCallum was introduced to the game and soon the three men created rules, relying heavily on badminton and keeping in mind the original purpose was to provide a game the whole family could play together. Who knew that nearly fifty years later, there would be pickleball facilities in all 50 states according to the United States American Pickleball Association (USAPA)?

City Of Raytown Releases Audit Report For 2012-13 A “CLEAN” audit is reported to the Board of Aldermen
On June 3, 2014, the Raytown Board of Aldermen in a study session received an audit report for the city from the independent firm of Cochran, Head & Vick, PC. The city participates annually in an audit from an outside agency in accordance with best practices. “We are really pleased that the audit demonstrates the city’s use of best practices,” said Mahesh Sharma, City Administrator. “Even our sewer revenue was up and we haven’t raised rates in three years. This indicates that the city’s staff has improved efficiencies within the depart-
ment. We found that the majority of our departments throughout the City have implemented efficiencies that have resulted in savings.” Below is a Q&A regarding the audit: 1. What is the function of an audit? The finance department has oversight of the City’s finances. An outside audit lets a qualified firm review the financial statements and activities to ensure that we are in compliance with best practices generally accepted in the United States applicable to local governments (GAAP). 2. What does the audit
cover? The city’s basic financial statements include both government-wide (reporting the city as a whole) and fund financial statements (reporting the city’s major funds). 3. Is an audit required? Yes annually in accordance with Government Auditing standards. 4. What did the audit tell us? The auditors indicated that all significant transactions have been recognized in our statements in the proper period. And, that the city was in compliance with all updated accounting standards put
in place in 2013. They verified that all estimates used by our staff were reasonable. They also indicated that our financial statement disclosures were neutral, consistent and clear. The auditors indicated that they encountered no difficulties in performing the audit. All identified problems were corrected immediately by the City staff. They also indicated that there were no disagreements with management on the audit. At the end of the current fiscal year, the City is reporting positive balances. The City is experiencing an in-
crease in sales and property tax collections even though surrounding communities continue to struggle. Our assets are larger than our liabilities. 5. Why did we get recommendations? The auditors gave us a “clean” audit which indicates we are in compliance and in order. But they also gave us suggestions that may help us improve. It is like having a furnace in your home. You have it inspected and they tell you have done everything to keep it in good working order and it will heat your home really well. But, they also give
you suggestions on how you can improve it in the future. You may or may not choose to do the recommendations for any number of reasons – e.g. time, money. Or like the City, you might develop an action plan that would eventually incorporate those improvements in the future as time and revenue become available. 6. Can I have a copy of the audit? Absolutely. The audit can be found on the city’s Website at http://bit.ly/1kCQE8X

Public Works
The final 525 feet of sewer line to be installed as part of the White Oak West Line A Sanitary Sewer project will utilize the directional boring process and is scheduled to start Monday June 9th. The process will require
the directional drill rig to sit in the middle of 83rd street between Stark Avenue and Kentucky Avenue; this will cause the one block section of 83rd Street to be closed for approximately 2 weeks. The contractor will also continue to work on restoration activities of the project by installing concrete curbs, sidewalks and
driveways. Strong storms moved through the City on Tuesday night and Public Works is proud to say we did not experience any significant storm water backups at storm inlets. Some tree damage was observed in the City, but there was not a widespread problem. Public Works received
4 phone calls about locations where limbs and brush could be disposed. Public Works referred the callers to the 2 local drop-off facilities operated by Missouri Organic; one located at 7700 E. 40 Highway and is open 6 days a week and the second is located at the intersection of Raytown Road and 470 Highway and is only
open on Saturdays.

Raytown South High School graduate, Allison Freed, is a recipient of the Truman Leadership Scholarship at Truman State University. The award covers the cost of full-time tuition and on-campus room and board at the average 2-person room rate when combined with the Missouri Higher Education Academic Bright Flight Scholarship. This is a Truman-funded award offered to incoming first-year students. The Truman Leadership Scholarship recognizes outstanding high school students who have demonstrated leadership in both the classroom and extracur-
ricular activities. The scholarship, named in honor of U.S. president, Harry S. Truman, is offered to high school seniors who demonstrate energetic leadership in the classroom, school and community, as well as outstanding academic achievement based upon grade point average and national test scores. Founded in 1867, Truman is Missouri’s only highly selective public liberal arts and sciences university. U.S. News & World Report’s 2014 edition of “Best Colleges” ranked Truman as the No. 1 public university in the Midwest region for the 17th consecutive year. Truman was named one of the na-
tion’s “Best Value” colleges and universities according to the Princeton Review in its newly published book, “The Best Value Colleges: 2014 Edition.” Out of the 75 public schools named by the Princeton Review, Truman was No. 9 overall. Kiplinger’s Personal Finance placed Truman at No. 12 on its list of “100 Best Values in Public Colleges” for 2014. Truman has the highest graduation rate among Missouri’s public colleges and universities, according to the Missouri Department of Higher Education. The University, located in Kirksville, has an enrollment of 6,200 students.

MoDOT Coordinates Open House Meetings To Discuss Amendment 7 Transportation Improvements After years of work by local planning agencies and transportation partners, Missourians are now asked to weigh in on a list of transportation projects and improvements that could improve safety, create jobs, and boost Missouri’s economy. The Missouri Department of Transportation has coordinated five open house meetings in the Kansas City Re-
gion to ask residents to take a look at the local priorities and share their thoughts and insights. On August 5, Missouri voters will decide on Constitutional Amendment 7, a ballot measure to temporarily raise Missouri’s sales tax by ¾ of a cent. All proceeds from the tax would go toward needed transportation improvements across the
state. The amendment’s provisions include the creation of a project list prior to the election so Missourians can see what their tax dollars would fund. The public is invited to attend the meetings at any time during the advertised hours to speak to regional planning partners and MoDOT representatives. No formal presentations will be made. The

You’re Advertising What Now? Department Of Insurance Returns Nearly $5 Million To Missouri Consumers In First Quarter Of 2014 The Missouri Department of Insurance helped consumers who filed a complaint against their insurance company receive an additional $4.7 million in claim payments in the first quarter of 2014. “The Consumer Affairs Division stands ready to assist Missourians who reach an impasse with their insurance company,” said John M. Huff, director of the Missouri Department of Insurance. “Consumers are encouraged to call us when a claim has been unfairly denied or when they feel their settlement is inadequate. Our team is trained to investigate all types of insurance issues.”
Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved. Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices. From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.
DIFP
Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions & Professional Registration Health insurance generated the most complaints in the first quarter of 2014 with 437 formal complaints followed by auto with 199 formal complaints. Consumers filed the most complaints for denial of claims and delays in processing. Some notable accomplishments form the first quarter: • A storage facility damaged in the May 2011 Joplin tornado received payment for demolition in the amount of $110,000 after contacting the department. The insurance company previously made two attempts to settle the demolition clean-up which were rejected by the policyholder. The first offer was for $55,000 and the second offer was for $85,000. • A Callaway County consumer was denied coverage for damage to the interior of his home that appeared to be caused by the settling of his foundation. The consumer informed the company that he was concerned that the settling was caused by an exterior-water-line break. Although the company’s engineer’s report did not rule out the possibility that the settling had been caused by such a break, they denied his claim partially based on the consumer’s inability to produce evidence of the line break. After the consumer contacted the department, the company revised its position and offered coverage in the amount of $9,578.57 for damages to the home caused by the water line break. • A Jasper County woman filed a complaint against her insurance company for delaying payments after a house fire.
The fire occurred just days before her policy was due to cancel and the insurance company gave multiple excuses for delaying payments. The contractor was unable to make repairs without a down payment. After the consumer filed a complaint with the department, the insurance company made a settlement of $77,855 and she was able to repair her home. • A Newton County mother and her son sustained serious injuries from an automobile accident in 2012. They were experiencing many delays in settling their bodily injury claims. The consumer then filed a complaint with the department and the insurance company issued a $60,000 settlement. In the first quarter of 2014 the department answered 7,120 phone calls, handled 2,544 inquiries and assisted with 1,077 complaints. The top categories of complaints were: Complaints by reason Denial of claim (248) Delay of claim processing (238) Delays or No Response (98) Unsatisfactory offer (93) Complaints by line of insurance Health (437) Auto (199) Life & Annuities (135) Homeowners (123) In addition to individual consumer recoveries, agent investigations levied 37 fines and collected over $16,000 in the first quarter. Consumer with complaints or questions about their insurance agent or company can call the department’s Insurance Consumer Hotline at 800-7267390 or visit insurance. mo.gov.
Jason Offutt The ad was out of place My wife and I were watching a BBC teen comedy raunch-fest about a group of mismatched first year college students forced to share a house, when we noticed something odd. “I noticed something odd,” my wife said in an amazing display of knowing precisely what I was going to write the next morning. “You mean the commercial?” She nodded. “It doesn’t really fit, does it?” No, it did not. All the previous commercials for birth control and pimple cream went along with the theme of the show. Especially the birth control disclaimers, which, if these won’t keep young people from having sex, nothing will – symptoms include blood clots, sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhea, fainting, liver tumors, high blood pressure, headaches, depression, weight gain, acne, and I believe your gall bladder explodes.
The odd commercial was for erectile dysfunction, and it was played during a program that’s core demographic were people who still get I.D.ed buying cigarettes. Why would a company run a commercial during a young person’s program featuring people who were basically Abe Vigoda and Olivia de Havilland getting frisky? By the way, both actors are still alive, and in their 90s. A poll I’m not making up (I actually did read it, I just don’t remember where) shows 60 percent of Americans believe advertising is out of control. With ads on things we wear, an 87,000-square-foot KFC logo in the Nevada desert that can be seen from space, and erectile dysfunction commercials during what is basically the British version of Beavis and Butthead, I’m not surprised. The same poll showed 61 percent of Americans, who must have seen the Abe Vigoda/Olivia de Havilland commercial, have a negative opinion of advertising. Every time a lapful of cologne-scented cards falls from a magazine, I get the same feeling. Of course, we can do nothing but deal with it. Ad space makes up 50 percent of a magazine, and 60 to 80 percent of a newspaper. Radio stations run about 28 minutes of advertising every hour, and television runs 13:52 minutes an hour. Of course, that

Obituaries Alyce Mae (Dunmire) King Alyce Mae (Dunmire) King, 90, died at St. Joseph Hospital Wednes day, June 4, 2014. Kind, loving, talented, she served with care and excellence in many capacities-her family; her church; her community; and her employer. A fine seamstress and knitter, she made many items of clothing for her family; herself and others. She was born in Wahoo, Nebraska on September 26, 1923, the second of three children (Frances, Alyce, and Keith) of Russell Logan Dunmire and Margaret Honora (Watchorn) Dunmire. She lived in Coin, Iowa most of her childhood years, graduating from Coin High School in 1941. Her grandfather, Salathiel D. Dunmire, was one of the first settlers in the Coin area in the late 1850’s. After graduating from Coin High School, she attended Commercial Extension Business School in Omaha, Nebraska. After this she was employed as a secretary by the Civil Service Administration in Washington D. C. and Chicago, Illinois. She was married to Robert Elton “Bob” King in Chicago on October 23, 1943. Three of their four children (Susan-1945, Peggy-1948, Elizabeth “Libby”-1950) were born in Chicago, and their fourth (Bill-1956) in Elgin, Illinois. In 1957 the family moved to Kansas City, MO, and became active in the community, particularly in the Border Star and South-
west High School areas. After returning to work outside the home, Alyce became the Coordinator of Continuing Medical Education at UMKC School of Medicine and Associate Executive Director of the Kansas City Southwest Clinical Soci- ety. She was an active member of the American Society of Association Executives and the Professional Convention Management Associa tion. She was active in church much of her adult life; since 1996 as a mem- ber and Deacon of the Country Club Christian Church at 6101 Ward Park- way in Kansas City. She is survived by her beloved husband, Bob; her children: Susan (Don) Krueger of Lee’s Summit, MO; Elizabeth “Libby” (Ron) Kinder of Colorado Springs, CO; and Bill King of Kansas City, MO. Her dear daughter Peggy (Gary) Foote died in 2013. She is also survived by her grand- children Keith Krueger of Raytown, MO; Fred Krueger (Nicole) of Lee’s Summit, MO; Rebecca “Becky” (Chris) Mayer of Glen Ellyn, IL; and Joel (Joey) Kinder; and by one great granddaughter, Tess Mayer of Glen Ellyn, IL. Also by her sister Frances Franklin of Tucson, AZ. Services were held at: Country Club Christian Church, 6101 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, MO 64113 on Wednesday, June 11 - Visitation 10:30am followed by the Service at 11am. Memorials may be given to the church. Cremation: Heartland, 6113 Blue Ridge Bou-
levard, Raytown, MO 64133. Burial Elmwood Cemetery, Coin, Iowa. John J. Martin John Martin, 56, of Raytown, MO, passed away May 29, 2014. Memorial service was at 10 am, Wednesday, June 11, 2014, at Floral Hills. John was born June 25, 1957 to Donald and Mary (Goldsmith) Martin at Lake Preston. He attended SDSU in Brookings where he graduated with an Associates of Arts in Engineering and Agriculture and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Biological Science in 1981.

“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

Raytown BMX Bikes Stolen Raytown Police are looking for 14 bikes stolen from Raytown BMX on Frost Road over the June 7-8 weekend. The bikes were stored in a couple of freight containers on the property. “Funny thing is they didn’t take any of the grounds equipment that was also in storage,” said Dave Turner of Raytown Parks. “We don’t yet know the exact value of the bikes but Raytown Parks’ insurance has a $5,000 deductible so Raytown BMX will probably have to come out of pocket to

organization is always trying to increase interest in BMX racing. Without loaners, they worry that there will be no way to get kids to stick with the sport. Many of them were out of luck for the BMX race scheduled on Thursday, June 12. Raytown BMX has received one bike donation so far but more will be needed. Bike parts and frames are also needed. Meanwhile, police are looking for the stolen bikes out on the streets and online.
