Raytown City Hall reopens, source Raytown alderman of airborne hazard unclear

dies following stroke

By Kris Collins

According to the Raytown Police Department, and police headquarters reopened Sunday after the building was vacated Thursday evening because air quality tests showed an unsafe level of formaldehyde. City Hall opened Tuesday. Cpl. Jimmy Wolsey, of the police department, said he did not know the exact measurements found in the air. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) exposure limit for an eight-hour time-weighted average is 0.75 parts formaldehyde per million parts of air. However, Wolsey said he suspects the high formaldehyde level was an “isolated incident.” Tests conducted after Thursday, he said, didn’t show high levels of the carcinogen. The source of the formaldehyde is yet to be discovered. Formaldehyde is a colorless, strong-smelling gas often found in water-based solutions. According

to OSHA, it’s commonly used as a preservative in medical laboratories and mortuaries, it’s also found in chemicals, particle board, household products, glues, permanent press fabrics, paper product coatings, fiberboard, and plywood. It is also widely used as an industrial fungicide, germicide and disinfectant.

The police department, in the bottom level of City Hall, recently underwent renovations, but Wolsey said naming a source is speculation. “They have people in and out during the day checking it, but at this point we have no idea,” he said. The closure did not stop police operations. The Raytown Fire Protection District was on-hand to offer

support, and the Kansas City and Lee’s Summit police departments provided temporary facilities from which the Raytown police operated. The Raytown-Brooking Eagle will continue to report as more information is known. Look for updates at www.RaytownEagle.com.

Cafe’s new owner hits liquor license obstacle By Kris Collins Newzroom Cafe, just across the street from Raytown High School, is under new ownership. The menu and decor are seemingly untouched, there are a couple of new faces around the restaurant, and at the moment there’s no more live jazz from 6 to 10 p.m. on Friday nights. The decision doesn’t entirely lie in the hands of Colandus Rucker Jr., who became the owner in midMay. He had to discontinue the jazz because he can’t justify the expense without alcohol sales, which funded the entertainment under the previous owners, and he can’t get approved for a liquor license. “I have to pay the band to come in, I have to pay for the cook to come in, and then what I have to pay for the food, and nobody is ordering liquor,” Rucker said. “Liquor was a big part of that. I had to suspend that because I couldn’t pay the band. I would be paying them out of my pocket at a loss.”

Photo by Kris Collins Colandus Rucker Jr., left, with Rome Spruill at Newzroom Café. Rucker, the new owner, is seeking a liquor license from the city of Raytown to continue live jazz at the restaurant on Friday nights, but a city ordinance precludes him from getting one because of the café’s proximity to a school.

Mark Loughry, interim city administrator, said the previous business owners were improperly issued a liquor license. The process for obtaining a liquor license, he said, is to first get a letter of support from the

city for a state liquor license application. The city then entertains liquor license applications once the state license is secured. The previous owners should not have received a Raytown liquor li-

cense because of a city ordinance mandating all liquor sales are outside 300 feet of school or church. The previous owners were able to get a state liquor license because they, through error on the city’s part, received the support letter from City Hall and Missouri law bans sales of alcohol within only 100 feet of schools or churches. Though there is no waiver process at Rucker’s disposal, the Raytown Board of Aldermen could reduce its 300-foot buffer to match the 100-foot one set in state law. “The long and the short of it is we have to remove that restriction of 300 feet,” Loughry said. Newzroom is approximately 120 feet away from Raytown High. Rucker said interested customers still call to check on the status of the live music, but he’s worried he may lose some of the Friday night crowd if the suspension lasts longer. Loughry said he believes, but isn’t certain, that Rucker may be on the agenda for the Board of Aldermen’s July 19 meeting.

Raytown Alderman Steve Mock died Wednesday night following health complications from a stroke he suffered this past week. He was 60 years old. Mayor Mike McDonough had asked for prayers and a moment of silence for Mock and his family during the regular board of aldermen meeting Tuesday evening. Mock was a long-time Raytown resident, and owner of Mock Construction. Mock suffered the stroke on June 30. He was first elected as ward 5 alderman in 2009.

Mexican fare favorite returns to Raytown

By Kris Collins

The popular Mexican restaurant Fiesta Azteca Grill and Cantina returned to Raytown this month. Andres Orozco, owner, previously ran the restaurant in Raytown before moving to Lee’s Summit. Orozco returned to Raytown July 2 to the former Jim G’s Drive-In. The family-owned business has gotten a warm welcome since it opened, he said, noting roughly 80 percent of the customers were regulars at his restaurant before he moved to Lee’s Summit. “It’s not just the food. I try to treat people like family,” he said “When they come here I want them to feel like they’ve come to my house because this is what I do for a living, and I want to do it right. I’m very happy and I’m very proud of what I do.” Orozco closed shop in Lee’s Summit in mid-May and began preparing the new restaurant for opening day. He put up a few interior walls around the kitchen, painted and did some light floor work. More improvements will follow, he said. More information on Fiesta Azteca is available at the restaurant’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/fiestaaztecakc.

Raytown Finance Director Mark Loughry was named the interim city administrator Tuesday evening during the regular Board of Aldermen meeting. “Right now, it’s just a temporary thing,” Loughry said after the appointment. “They asked me to fill the role and I’m very happy to do that. I’m very flattered, I guess, that they showed confidence in me to handle that role.” The board adopted a resolution 8-0 (Aldermen Steve Mock and Mark Moore were absent) to approve the appointment. Loughry was serving as acting city administrator prior to the appointment and will fill the void until a new administrator is found. Mahesh Sharma, former administrator, left the city July 1 to take an administrative role for Scott County, Iowa. Sharma had been administrator since 2008. The board recently chose Strategic Government Resources to search for the city’s new administrator. There is no timeline or target date by which to fill the position. Mayor Mike McDonough said the city wants the best candidate for the job and doesn’t want to be tethered by a deadline.

County’s annual July Fourth celebration draws 15k people Approximately 15,000 people were at Longview Lake Monday for Jackson County’s fifth annual 4th of July Celebration. “We were thrilled with the crowd, particularly in light of the fact that the next day was a work day for so many,” said Michele Newman, director of Jackson County Parks + Rec. The event kicked off just after quitting time Monday and ended with a $40,000

fireworks show around 10 p.m. There was a kid’s play area, food trucks, skydivers, and two bands, including “The Romantics,” perhaps best known for the hit “What I Like About You.” Planning is already underway for next year’s celebration. “Our goal for next year is to continue to raise the bar with an outstanding line-up of entertainment and activities,” Newman said.

Conservation Dept. seeking public comment The Missouri Department of Conservation is in the process of updating management plans for conservation areas and is seeking public comments. Management plans may be found and comment submitted online at mdc.mo.gov/ areaplans. The following draft conservation area management plans in the Kansas City region are available for public comment July 1-31. • Montrose Conservation Area Management Plan – Montrose Conservation Area is 2,750 acres of lakes/ ponds, forests, woodlands, wetlands, old fields, open fields, grassland, and native prairie in Henry County. Montrose Lake, with its flow of warm water, offers good fishing, especially for

catfish. Over the years, it has also become a favorite of waterfowl, and spectacular concentrations of ducks and geese visit the area each winter. This area offers a boat ramp, primitive camping, 14 waterfowl blinds, and two wade and shoot opportunities for public use. • Settle’s Ford Conservation Area Management Plan – Settle’s Ford Conservation Area is 6,766 acres of old field, bottomland timbers, open fields, wetlands, upland timbers, grassland, shrub, and ponds in Bates and Cass counties. This area contains over 800 acres of wetlands and features an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible waterfowl blind, six fishable ponds, and five permanent streams for public use.

Conservation Dept., libraries partner for fishing gear checkout Four Mid-Continent Public Library branches in the Kansas City area now offer free checkout of fishing gear in partnership with the Missouri Department of Conservation’s Discover Nature — Fishing program. Anglers can check out rod and reel combos along with tackle boxes that include items such as hooks, weights, lures and bobbers. The fishing gear loaner program helps families and new anglers connect with nature through fishing. Mid-Continent branches participating in the program include: Antioch Branch in Gladstone, Liberty Branch, Blue Springs South Branch in Blue Springs, and the Colbern Road Branch in Lee’s

Summit. MDC also provides instruction on how to fish through the Discover Nature — Fishing program. A series of four free classes, which includes actual fishing, provides the knowledge and confidence that newcomers need to have fun fishing. The rod and reel loaner program helps provide an affordable opportunity for people to try fishing. They also gain experience using gear that is regularly maintained in good working order by volunteers. More information on Discover Nature — Fishing, including lesson schedules and rod and reel loaner locations, is available at http:// short.mdc.mo.gov/ZkB.

• Taking on too much credit card debt – If you don’t overuse your credit cards, they can be handy and helpful, in many ways. Try to keep a lid on your credit card debt, keeping in mind that your debt payments reduce the amount of money you have available to invest for your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. Not saving enough for children’s education — This may be perhaps the most difficult regret to address – after all, it’s not easy to save for your own retirement and simultaneously put money away for your children’s college educations. However, if you can afford to save for college, try to do so in as advantageous a manner as possible. • Buying a bigger house than you can afford – If you tie up too much money in mortgage payments, you will have less to contribute to your various

retirement accounts. And while home equity certainly has some value, it generally does not provide you with the same liquidity – and probably not the same potential for growth and income – as an investment portfolio that’s appropriate for your needs and risk tolerance. So, think carefully before purchasing that big house – you might be better served by scaling down your home ownership and ramping up your investments. You can’t avoid all the doubts and misgivings you’ll encounter at various stages of your life. But if you can reduce those regrets associated with your finances, you could well increase your satisfaction during your retirement years.

This past week, Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed Senate Bill 656 which would have loosened laws on conceal and carry permits. In his veto letter, Nixon said the bill threw out much of the state’s current conceal carry legal framework. Specifically, Nixon said the bill would have eliminated required training, education and background check for the permits. The bill’s provisions also would have allowed guns to come into hands that cannot currently possess them. Additionally, the bill would have removed a sheriff’s authority to reject

applications if they are perceived dangerous. “An individual who applies for a permit and is denied based on the sheriff’s determination that he is a danger to himself or others would nevertheless be allowed, under Senate Bill No. 656, to carry a concealed weapon in Missouri the moment he leaves the sheriff’s office,” Nixon wrote in his veto letter. “I cannot support a system that would ignore a determination by the chief law enforcement officer of a county that an induvial is a danger to the community and should not be authorized

to carry a concealed firearm.” Since 2003, Missouri law has had a process for obtaining a concealed carry permit that includes classroom and range training, a background check and review by the sheriff before an applicant can obtain a concealed carry permit. The Missouri Police Chiefs Association and the Missouri Fraternal Order of Police both lent support to Nixon in letters. “Make no mistake, we are staunch supporters of the Second Amendment,” said Kevin Ahlbrant, president of Missouri Fraternal Order

of Police. “We feel, however, that the enactment of SB 656, specifically the allowance of giving anyone not currently prohibited from possessing a firearms, the ability to carry a concealed firearm without a permit, will cost not only citizen lives but will also be extremely dangerous to law enforcement officers.” The bill, sponsored by Sen. Brian Munzlinger, District 18 Republican, was passed on the final day of session in May. Both the Senate and House of Representatives have the votes for override the governor’s veto.

The Jackson County Legislature did not meet this week in observance of the Fourth of July. The legislature considered the following items on the consent agenda during its regular meeting June 27: • Item 4859, an ordinance appropriating $23,341 from the undesignated fund balance of the 2016 general fund and $56,565 from the undes-

ignated fund balance of the 2016 special road and bridge fund for additional work and upgrades within the renovated Eastern Jackson County Courthouse. The ordinance was perfected. • Item 4855, an ordinance appropriating $187,667 from the undesignated fund balance of the 2016 special road and bridge fund in acceptance of auction proceeds from the

sale of surplus vehicles and equipment for use by the public works department. • Item 19188, a resolution transferring $19,500 within the 2016 anti-drug sales tax fund and awarding a sixmonth contract, with three 12-month options to extend, for data tracking software maintenance for use by COMBAT to First Call Alco-

hol/Drug Prevention & Recovery at a cost to the county not to exceed $19,500. • Item 19190, a resolution transferring $340,473 within the 2016 special road and bridge fund and $61,500 within the 2016 park fund and awarding a contract for phase 1 of the 2016 Pavement Maintenance Project to Superior Bowen Asphalt Co., LLC,

Aldermen table retirement community development discussion By Kris Collins At its regular meeting Tuesday evening the Raytown Board of Aldermen voted not to give a letter of support for 3 Diamond Development as the company seeks tax credits from the state to build 60 independent living residences for those 55 years or older. The development, planned near Blue Ridge Cutoff and 55th Street, is named Diamond Senior

Apartments of Raytown. The board voted 7-1 to table the discussion until the board had a chance to look further into the details of the development. Alderman Bill VanBuskirk was the lone vote in support of the endorsement. Aldermen Mark Moore and Steve Mock were absent from the meeting. Alderman Steve Meyers expressed concern about endorsing 3 Diamond Development’s application without having seen any site plans

and made the motion to table the discussion. The other aldermen were hesitant about signing off on the project, and several residents spoke out against the project, citing environmental and safety concerns, and impact on nearby neighborhoods. Jeanette Gentry had pecuniary concerns in mind. She said the city should not support a retiree development but higher-end apartments in consideration of the development by Center Corporation

just south of Raytown. “This is not what needs to be done for the future of Raytown,” she said of the project. The city’s attorney, Joe Willerth, clarified that 3 Diamond Development may not need to come back to the Board of Aldermen for project approval unless the project requires a special condition, for example, a zoning variance. The board will discuss the item during its next meeting on July 19.

Raytown man injured in ATV crash near Lake of the Ozarks

A Raytown man suffered serious injury July 2 near Lake of the Ozarks while driving an ATV. According to the Mis-

souri State Highway Patrol, 53-year-old Ronald K. Turrell was driving a 2012 Can Am Outlaw ATV on Cable Point Road at approximately 10:45

p.m. when his vehicle went off the left side of the road, struck a sign, went down an embankment and overturned.

Turrell was taken to an area hospital by ambulance. The crash report states he was not wearing a helmet.

A pair of brothers was sentenced this past month to serve 15 years in prison for the murder of Shawndray Key, who was fatally shot in a vehicle near 62nd Street and Agnes Avenue in April 2015. Teandre Carter, 21, was sentenced on June 10 to 15 years in prison after he plead-

ed guilty in March to seconddegree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, firstdegree attempted robbery and receiving stolen property. On June 28, Shyreif Carter, 20, pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder, first-degree attempted robbery and two counts of armed criminal ac-

tion in connection to Key’s death. According to police documents, the Carters wanted to steal a weapon from Key and made arrangements to meet with him. A witness told police the two men approached Key’s vehicle, fired and ran away. Minutes after police

were dispatched to the crime scene, Shyreif Carter arrived at Research Medical Center with a gunshot wound in his left hand. The gun taken from Key was later found in a vehicle that Teandre Carter had used. Shyreif Carter told police he fired a weapon into the car.

“Regrets? I’ve had a few.” – Frank Sinatra. Mr. Sinatra, one of the most famous entertainers of the 20th century, did things his way, but he was also familiar with remorse. He’s not alone, of course. We all deal with regrets – and financial ones are among the most troublesome. Here are the leading financial regrets, according to a recent survey by Bankrate.com, along with some suggestions for avoiding them: • Not saving for retirement early enough – This was the top regret expressed by survey respondents. Saving and investing early for retirement offers you two key benefits. First, the more time you give growth-oriented investments, the greater their growth potential. And second, by saving and investing for retire-

ment early in your career, you will likely need to put away less money each year than you would if you waited until, say, your 40s or 50s. So, if you aren’t already doing so, contribute as much as you can afford to your IRA and your 401(k) or similar employersponsored plan. And increase your contributions every time your salary rises. • Not saving enough for emergency expenses – You can’t plan for all expenses. Your furnace might die, your car may need a major repair, you may incur a sizable doctor’s bill – the list goes on and on. If you don’t have the money available to meet these costs, you might be forced to dip into your longterm investments. That’s why it’s important to maintain an emergency fund, containing three to six months’ worth of living expenses, in a liquid, low-risk account.

candidates. The event is free and open to the public. Candidates are: Jerome Barnes, Jim Aziere, Josh Greene, Pat Riehle, Diane Krizek, and Bill VanBuskirk, who is the lone Republican candidate. The forum will be held in the council chamber in Raytown City Hall, located at 10000 E. 59th St. The District 28 seat is up for contest because Rep. Tom McDonald is term-limited.

Grandview man Pleads Guilty to Armed Craigslist Robberies, Shooting Two Victims

A Grandview man pleaded guilty in federal court this past week to felony charges in connection with a series of Craigslist robberies, two of which ended in shootings. On June 28, Troy Wright, 23, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy, six counts of aiding and abetting a robbery and one count of aiding and abetting the discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, according to Tammy Dickinson, U.S. attorney for the Western District of Missouri.

Under the plea, Wright admitted that he participated in a conspiracy between May 1 and Sept. 19, 2014, to rob several individuals at gunpoint. Wright and conspirators posted false advertisements on craiglist.org in order to meet victims and steal money and electronics. Debvon Buckner, 25, a codefendant, also pleaded guilty to five counts of aiding and abetting the robberies and one count of aiding and abetting the discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence. Buck-

ner was the primary point of contact with the victims. Buckner made initial contact

with the victims, while his coconspirators robbed them at gunpoint.

Jason Offutt Driving to my college reunion, I realized many things. 1) MapQuest is magical. It can turn a four and a halfhour drive into a six-hour drive at the click of the return key. 2) I planned my departure around arriving at lunchtime. Damn you MapQuest. 3) Seeing a Confederate battle flag in the window of a nameless southern Missouri town isn’t surprising. Seeing a Nazi flag in another window of the same house is how a lot of horror movies start. 4) Discovering my phone had no service while driving through that town didn’t help my fast-growing stomach ache. Any second I expected ominous music to come out of nowhere. 5) Finally arriving at the address I’d punched into MapQuest felt better than if I’d arrived on time, possibly because the place with my friends inside served food, but probably because it was a bar. Most of my college buddies were already there. One had been there since 11 a.m. – it was 1 p.m. Oh, well, this bar was at Osage Beach. They start early down there. “All right, let’s lay down some ground rules,” I said over the din. “We’re all at least 51 years old, so this weekend we’re not going to talk about cataracts, bifocals, high blood pressure, our cholesterol, achy backs, bad knees, whatever a lumbago is, erectile dysfunction, or incontinence.” “How about incompetence?” my buddy said. Thank you. “That, my friends, is exactly why we’re here.” When we’d all arrived, our reunion consisted of five

people. This is how reunions should be – only people you want to see, or, at our age, only people whose names we could pull out of the sieve we call a memory. “You remember Taco and Harvey?” Steve asked (the one who’d been drinking since 11 a.m.). We all nodded. They lived in the dorm with us. Taco was a funny guy from the far end of the hall who bought me beer when I was underage. Harvey lived a couple doors down from Taco. We recruited Harvey for our intramural basketball team because he was tall. All tall people are good at basketball, right? No. Harvey had the basketball skills of a rodeo clown. “But what are their names, Steve?” I asked. He shrugged. “Taco and Harvey.” “They’re going to be hard to find in the phone book.” Everyone laughed, either at the thought of trying to find a guy named “Taco,” or that I believed people still used phone books. We spent the rest of the night reminiscing. That’s what reunions are for, right? Talking about memories, not creating new ones. It’s fun as the responsible grownups we are to think back to times when stealing bar glasses was a matter of habit, and the waitresses we flirted with were our age, not our daughters’. We ended the night sitting by the pool of our motel across the street from the bar. We’d planned things carefully and walked. Safety first. And that was it for the group of people who used to stay up all night if there was still more beer. I was in bed by 8:30 p.m. – and there was beer left over.

Tommy Lasorda, baseball’s most famous manager

By George Michaud Even though I mentioned last week at the end of Phyllis Diller’s column that I was going to have a column on Ann Margaret, my notes didn’t come in time from Nashville, Tennessee, where many of my things are stored. We will have to wait a few weeks to talk about Ann Margaret. Instead, I chose Tommy Lasorda because he was one of my closer friends and he’s been mentioned in a number of my columns. Tommy Lasorda was born Thomas Charles “Tommy” Lasorda on Sept. 27, 1927 in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Tommy was the second of five sons born to Sabatino and Carmella Lasorda. His parents were Italian immigrants. Later in his career Tommy became friends with Frank Sinatra and everyone in the entertainment field knew him, even inviting him to appear on every TV show you could think of in the 1970s through the ‘80s. In 1945, at the young age of 18, Tommy’s left-handed pitching showed enough promise that the Philadelphia Phillies signed him, but he missed the 1945 and 1946 season due to his service in the United States Army.

was on active duty from 1945 through 1947. He returned to baseball in 1948 with the Schenectady Blue Jays in The Canadian-American League. In May of 1948, he struck out 25 Amsterdam Rugmakers in a game that lasted 15 innings, a tremendous record which later was broken, but it took decades. In Lasorda’s next two starts as a pitcher he struck out 15, garnering the attention of The Dodgers. The Dodgers drafted him from the Phillies chain and sent him to the Greenville Spinners in 1949. He made his major league debut on Aug. 5, 1954 for The Brooklyn Dodgers and, even though he didn’t play during the 1955 World Series, he earned a ring for being a member of that championship team. He pitched for the Dodgers for two seasons and then for the Kansas City Athletics for one year. Kansas City purchased him and then sold him to The New York Yankees in 1956. He was in 22 games for the Triple-A Denver Bears during 1956 and 1957 and then sold back to The Dodger in 1957. He was so impressed with skipper Ralph Houk that he became his MLB manager. Lasorda said, “That Ralph taught him that if you treat the players like human beings they will play like superman. He taught him also that a pat on the back could be just as important as a kick in the butt.” Lasorda pitched for the Montreal Royals with the International League and became the winningest pitcher for that team in history. His record was 107-57. After five minor league championships The Dodgers released him in 1954. As a talent scout for The

Entertainment Guide By Livingston Brees You know, it shouldn’t be all that hard to make a good “Tarzan” movie, should it? All you need is a dude who was raised by apes swinging around in the trees wearing a loincloth, and communicating with animals using awesome “jungle calls,” helping to keep the Congo safe from poachers, cannibals and other bad guys, all while keeping the lovely Jane safe. Sounds pretty simple, right? As easy as that formula is,

the filmmakers managed to screw it up with “The Legend of Tarzan.” When the film begins, it has already been almost a decade since Alexander Skarsgard’s Tarzan, now known as also John Clayton III, or Lord Greystoke, left Africa to live in Victorian England with his wife, Jane, played by the always-watchable Margot Robbie. Tarzan is more of a novelty now, as his adventures have become the stuff of legend. As one might imagine,

‘Tarzan’ falls off the vine, the return of Mel

things aren’t peaceful for long, and American investigator George Washington Williams, the criminally underused Samuel L. Jackson, convinces Tarzan and Jane to return to Africa. There they discover slavery has returned, thanks to the villainous Leon Rom, played by Christoph Waltz who is in full-on-bad-guy mode. In addition to enslaving people for personal gain and tearing up the jungle, he also plans to capture the ape man and trade him for some

diamonds to an old foe. Of course, Jane ends up being somewhere she shouldn’t and becomes a pawn in the bad guy’s plot, forcing Tarzan to return to the jungle — without his loin cloth, mind you — and save the woman he loves. There is some other stuff that happens, but I think I dozed off, which happened a few times during this flick. It’s not that it was awful, it was just, sort of “blah.” The biggest problem I had with the movie was the fact

it took so long to really get going. Beginning a “Tarzan” movie where Tarzan isn’t Tarzan anymore isn’t the best way to build tension. While an “according to Hoyle” origin story would have been a bit played out, it may have served as a better way to tell the story. The acting is fine and some of the cinematography is stellar, but at the end of the day, this is an utterly forgettable flick. Get Ready for Mel’s Return

I love the films of Mel Gibson, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. While his personal politics and beliefs may not be in line with my own, I respect the man’s ability to capture the attention of an audience whether he is in front of the camera, or behind it. Later this year, Mel will release the WWII flick “Hacksaw Ridge,” his first directorial effort since the 2006 masterpiece “Apocalypto.” “Hacksaw Ridge” is

Garlic Baked Chicken

By Jacqui Duran It’s summertime and, if you’re anything like me, you have chicken legs on hand. Why not try to find different uses for those chicken legs you have sitting there? Maybe something happy, something fresh? Something sweet and satisfying? This recipe is one of my favorites because it has so many great flavors. The original recipe is actually called pollo asado, which means garlic chicken, and it’s such a great and easy recipe that anyone can make while still feeling like you have created a masterpiece in the kitchen. It’s tasty and fresh, and the flavor would have you believe the chicken had been marinated for an entire day. Who doesn’t want to get all that flavor without marinating? Let’s start talking about what we need for this: • Chicken legs • Two limes, zested and juiced • One lemon • One bunch cilantro, diced finely • Three to four cloves of garlic, finely diced • One tablespoon olive oil All the “work” in this dish is just creating the marinade, which is one of the reasons this is a perfect dinner party recipe. You can create the marinade and get it going

Garlic Baked Chicken in the fridge and still have

plenty of time to greet your guests and not be stuck in the

kitchen. Begin by putting your chicken into a large bowl, (or large plastic bag) for marinating. Roll the limes on the counter to get the juices ready. Cut the limes in half and juice them for every drop. Pour the juice over your chicken and place the halves in the bowl. Do the same with the lemon. Next, let’s grab our garlic and crush the cloves with the back of your knife, then dice it up. Chop up a handful of cilantro. Add the garlic and cilantro to the mixture. Pour your oil over the chicken, and add salt, pepper and lemon pepper seasoning to taste. Then get a little messy. Get in there with your hands and mix the marinade so all your chicken pieces are coated nicely, and put it in the fridge. If you used a bowl,

cover it with plastic wrap. This is basically it. I told you this was simple. I suggest marinating for at least four hours. The longer you marinade, the better your flavor. When ready to get started, move the bottom rack of your oven to one of the lower spots and turn the oven to broil. Allow your oven to get nice and hot before putting the chicken in. Lightly spray a broiler pan (or any pan in which the drippings will fall away from the meat) with cooking spray in order to ensure your chicken doesn’t stick. Lay out the chicken pieces on your pan and get ready to fill your home with some delicious scents. Broil the chicken for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through. There are many ways to serve this. You can serve

them open and plated with a side or torn off and eaten in a corn tortilla with some fresh pico de gallo. The possibilities are endless with this chicken dish. No matter how you serve it up, you are going to get flavorful and juicy chicken. I adore this dish and love serving it to my family. It’s a nice meal that doesn’t take a lot of time in the kitchen, but it’s filled with flavor and will please everyone. I hope you try this one. I’d love to hear how you like it and maybe how you change it to your liking. Jacqui Duran lives in Raytown, Missouri with her husband and three children.

Wells Family Farms Steve and Kim Wells are fourth-generation farmers from King City. They started their percent grass-fed beef operation in 2002, and started selling at Kansas City farmers markets in 2006. The Wells may be found at the Raytown Farmers Market every Saturday. Wells Family Farms specializes in beef. The Wells have five herds of 20 Black Angus cattle, each with a bull. They graze on the farm’s rolling hills and streams and ponds.

The Wells boast having very healthy beef without the use of chemicals. “We have truly enjoyed being able to sell direct to the customer versus just selling calves,” said Kim Wells. “It gives a lot more meaning to what we do, and we enjoy the feedback. We do encourage customers to come out to the farm, go in the freezer and make your selection, which means you truly get what you want.” More information on Wells Family Farms and its

a lot of franchises. It’s really cool that Netflix has all four films available for streaming right now. Great for binge watching. Full disclosure: “Lethal Weapon 2” is my favorite. “Diplomatic Immunity.” “It’s just been revoked.” • “Get the Gringo” was one of the first, and few, starring roles after his fall from grace. It is dirty, gritty and hard to watch in some spots, but it is very entertaining, and showed Mel could still be a leading man. It’s perfect to fill your Mel needs. The only thing America loves more than destroying our heroes is building them back up, and I think it is high time we forgive Mel, welcome him back into the fold and enjoy one of the best actors and directors of the past quarter century. At least that’s the way I see it. Be sure and come back next week when I’ll discuss either “The Secret Life of Pets” or “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates,” depending on what kind of mood I’m in. All that and more next week, same “Battime,” same “Bat-channel.”

set to follow a medic, played by Andrew Garfield, who saves dozens of lives during the Battle of Okinawa. In advance of the November release date, I figured I’d highlight a few of my Gibson favorites currently available on Netflix. • “Braveheart” is without a doubt the cream of the Gibson filmography. Mel inhabits the role of Scottish hero William Wallace like no role before or since, and the fact he directed this Oscar-winning epic makes it all the more impressive. The film took home Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director, and launched Mel into a different level of filmmaking and stardom. It is, hands down, one of the most entertaining and moving films of the past 50 years. • “Lethal Weapon” — Even though Mel was already an international star thanks to the “Mad Max” trilogy, the Richard Donner-directed “Lethal Weapon” series (1 through 4) made Mel a household name in the states. The first film in the series really changed the “action movie” and “buddy cop” genre forever, and the way the sequels were handled changed the way franchises were made. Things then went from a serious, gritty cop movie in “Lethal Weapon” to a movie about life, love, family and a backstory about breaking up a human trafficking ring in “Lethal Weapon 4.” The films became more about spending time with Mel, Danny Glover and the rest of the characters we grew to love over the years, and less about fight scenes and explosions, which is something you don’t see in
