Fun House Pizza Raytown The Original Celebrates 50 Years

By Diane Krizek Editor In June of 1964, Marty and Helen Graham opened Fun House Pizza, now known as “The Original”. After 50 years, it is still family owned and operated by their son, Gary, and his wife Anna. The iconic Fun House sign with the beacon star sign has changed color over the years but the recipes for the pizza dough and sauce remain true to the original to this day. Back in the Sixties, Marty had several Fun House franchises in the Kansas City area that even crossed north of the Missouri River into Riverside, Missouri. He also owned King Arthur’s Knights of the Round Table lounge at 1115 East Armour Blvd. that offered floorshows nightly. Marty also brought in great entertainment to Fun House Pizza that included the big band sound of the Ray Stinson Combo. Fun House Pizza helped launch the career of noted drummer/pianist/vibe Jim Weinberg of Raytown. Marty took an interest in Jim when he was only 11 years old. Jim and his band played six to seven nights a week at Fun House and went on to a great career in Las Vegas and Nashville. After Marty’s death in 1974, Helen took the helm and Gary soon quit his job as pressman at the Kansas City Star to join her. The Fun House Pizza franchises gradually slipped away into time but the tradition of great pizza, fun times and entertainment survived the next four decades in Raytown. “We offered live music until 1:00 a.m. and used Raytown cops for security. We booked comedians and musicians like Chris Skau, Kansas City’s Liberace and organist for the Kansas City Royals,” recalls Gary. The iconic Fun House Pizza sign with its beacon star is truly a treasure that has remarkably survived decades of weather. The family changed the color from red to blue and there are plans to change it to Route-66 colors for the 50th Anni-

versary. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t cooperated for Thomas Cobian of Downtown Neon Gallery who was commissioned in January to refurbish the sign. He needs three dry days to sandblast, paint and modernize the wiring so it lasts another 50 years. The star languishes in his shop while it waits for its debut.

Arrest Made For Raytown Arson Incidents Raytown Police arrested a man suspected of starting fires at two different locations in the area of 63rd Street and Woodson. No one was hurt during either incident.

Officers were called during the morning of July 3, 2014, to a dumpster fire at Charity Thrift Mart in the 11500 block of 63rd Street. Firefighters quickly put out the fire.

About two hours later, another call came in reporting at vehicle fire in the 6400 block of Woodson Road. The vehicle was a box truck that belonged to the River Church.

The truck was stocked with supplies and tools to assist needy citizens with minor household repairs, such as leaky faucets and painting. The Rev. John Wiley of River

Church reportedly made assurances that the work will continue despite the loss. Shortly after the second call, a man was apprehended in the area and arrested.

The last report was that the suspect is being held on an investigative hold and no charges have been filed yet by the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.

Raytown Athlete To Compete In 2014 Transplant Games Of America Twenty local athletes and transplant recipients are preparing to compete in the 2014 Transplant Games of America to be held in Houston, July 11-15, as part of Team MO-KAN, which represents western Missouri and all of Kansas. Team MO-KAN athletes and donor families will be travel-

ing from Gardner, Kansas City, Lawrence, Olathe, Overland Park, Prairie Village and Wichita, Kan., and Blue Springs, Columbia, Gladstone, Independence, Kansas City, Kearney, Lee’s Summit, Parkville, Pleasant Hill, Raytown and St. Joseph, Mo. Michael Hatcher of Ray-

town, Missouri, will compete in his first games only nine months after receiving a new heart and the gift of life. Michael, like many others, feels like competing in the games is a way for him to honor his donor hero and prove that having a transplant won’t stop him from being active.

The event is largely attended by donor families in addition to recipients. As a donor family, they may not meet the person that received their loved one’s organ, but they get a chance to see how donation has changed someone’s life. There are 14 donor family members attending the

games from the Midwest Transplant Network service area. The Transplant Games of America is a multi-sport festival event for athletes who have undergone life¬saving transplant surgeries and living donors held every two years. Competition is open to anyone who

has received a solid organ transplant or bone marrow donation. More than just an athletic event, the Transplant Games of America highlights the critical importance of organ and tissue donation, while celebrating the lives of organ donors and recipients.

in school. The ministry chooses several safe, accessible distribution sites throughout the city in diverse areas that include apartment and mobile home

complexes and city parks. Families in those neighborhoods are notified of the opportunity to receive summer lunches through letters and flyers distributed by the

school district. Flyers are also posted in selected neighborhoods. Volunteers are always needed to repackage bulk foods, make sandwiches,

pack lunches, drive and ride along in the delivery bus, make donations or deliver flyers. Sign up at http://raytownsummerlunch.info/.

Where Is Our 90210? By Jeff Pinkerton KCEconomy.com An article published in CityLab on July 3, 2104, identified the most expensive zip codes in the country, based on median home values supplied by Zillow. The most expensive zip codes are in the places you might expect. Of the top 10, three are in the San Francisco bay area (including San Jose), three are in Los Angeles and two are in New York. Boston and Miami had one each. What about Kansas City? We have some relatively expensive zip codes here in the metro, but they would fall well down the list. To crack the top 10, zip codes had to have a median home value above $2.7 mil-

lion, and we don’t come close to that. According to the census bureau, the most expensive zip code in the Kansas City metro is 66211 (in Leawood and Overland Park, just south of I-435) with a median home value of $488,600. Of the nine zip codes with a median home value higher than $300,000, seven are in Johnson County. Of those, five hug State Line Road. So, why the disparity between Kansas City’s wealthiest zip codes and the superrich zip codes in these other metros? Part of the explanation is that housing just costs more there, as illustrated in the table below. The median home value in Kansas City is $156,000. This is the middle value, meaning that half of the homes in the metro cost

more and half cost less. Picture a typical $156,000 KCarea home in your mind — maybe an average split-level with three bedrooms and a two-car garage. That same house would cost four times as much ($624,000) in San Jose. Metro Median Home Values Kansas City $156,000 New York $400,000 Los Angeles $428,500 San Francisco $557,700 San Jose $624,200 But home prices are really just part of the story. The top 10 most expensive zip codes in the nation are not made up of your typical neighborhoods, to say the least. These are places where the superrich tend to cluster together in communities filled with

extravagant homes. As the wealthy get wealthier, the demand for housing in these exclusive areas rises, and so does their median home value. And to the super rich, the location may matter more than the cost. Greater Kansas City may not have a particular zip code that people will pay a premium to live in, like 90210 — number three on the national list, by the way — but, compared to most other metros, we can afford a lot more house for the money. We’re a lower-cost metro and will probably never have any zip codes that crack the top 10 most expensive list. But we won’t have to figure out how to pay a $4,000 monthly mortgage on a median income, either.

I’m In The UK, So Why Do These Restaurants Look Familiar?

OPINION

Ruby Tuesday’s Not Bad For Baby Back Ribs Raytown Resident Offers Service with a Smile

Baby back ribs at Ruby Tuesdays on 40 Highway at Noland Road has been there quite some time. Three years ago I dropped in and swore to never return because it had got so run down and the food went downhill. Wasn’t worth the gas to drive there. However, my last four visits since October of 2013, Sunday, July 6th being the last one, have proved over and over again to be more than worth it. Kylie Harrenstien (A Raytown resident and my waitress) says she recommends the baby back ribs so, I took her suggestion seriously and ordered not only a half order but the full rack large order with two sides. One being their home made (from scratch) mac and cheese, baked to perfection. Reminded me of the macaroni and cheese I used to get as a kid when it was baked from the ole wood stove. Delicious. The second side took me to another starch, which I don’t usually do called their sweet potato French Fries and were they ever good. I started out with their not so pleasant to look at Salad Bar but it turned out the food was better than it appeared. I suggest management to cut the lights over the food down so as not to shine directly into the eyes of a customer sitting in a booth facing the Salad Bar. It is not at all inviting to look at. Food bar could use improvement to have an

Kylie Harrenstien serving baby back ribs

eye catching experience one expects at most restaurants these days with salad bars. My appetizer was one of my favorite. Guacamole, which I always order special with the avocado on the side from the chips (home-made) and warm with chopped white sweet onions and mayonnaise so I can make my own mixture to my liking. If the avocados are good ones the flavor is out of this world. Unfortunately, last night they were not ripe enough or they were just not good ones. But, it was edible enough to enjoy it partially. On my previous three visits, the avocados were perfect. Now, to the entrée; the full rack of back-ribs was just so tender they literally fell right

off the bones as one savored their flavor. I wanted to eat them real slow to enjoy every bite. The chef really knows how to make this entree` and I would suggest it to any one of my friends. Flavored perfect. These ribs are by far the finest I’ve had anywhere near the Metro Kansas City area including Zarda’s in Blue Springs, which I do not recommend to anyone. They are far too expensive and tough as nails with high school kids serving you, who don’t care if you even eat, let alone get a good meal. Kylie is a caring, right on the money waitress, who’s there when you need anything. The ribs are delectable to just look at and delicious to the palate, seasoned just right. I could only finish one half of a rack and took the rest home to enjoy. Kylie was very attentive, with a delightful smile and leaving me wanting to come back for more just like the food. Prices for a half rack with taxes and includes both sides is only $17.87 and for the full rack of baby ribs is only $23.69. So, if you can only eat a half, why not get the full rack and take home the rest as I did. It was a delight to enjoy later on at home. “If you’re going out to eat at all, do it right and go to the best place you know of in and around Raytown” George Michaud of Raytown

Kander Expands Military Voting Opportunities

First-of-its-Kind Online Portal Simplifies Process for Missourians Overseas

Jason Kander Secretary of State Jason Kander recently announced Missourians serving in the armed forces who are stationed away from home now have access to a new online platform that makes voting significantly easier for them. Kander’s office launched the Military and Overseas Voting Access Portal (www. momilitaryvote.com) to give active duty service members the opportunity to securely

register to vote and request and receive absentee ballots for all local, state and federal elections. The Military and Overseas Voting Access Portal is the first of its kind nationally, and its development is a major step forward in ensuring that service members have the opportunity to participate in the democracy they are defending. “No eligible Missourians should be deprived of the right to vote because they’re in uniform putting their lives on the line for us,” said Kander, who voted absentee while serving in the war in Afghanistan as an Army intelligence officer. “With the Military and Overseas Voting Access Portal, we are setting a new standard for what it means to protect and promote the voting rights of those defending our country.” All Missourians serving in the armed forces, wheth-

er they are stationed at Fort Bragg, Bagram Airfield or elsewhere, can use the platform to expedite the voting process. Additionally, the portal’s resources are open to any Missourian who is eligible to vote and residing overseas, including families of active duty service members, members of the Peace Corps and faith-based charity workers. Eligible Missourians can visit the portal and create secure voting access accounts at www.momilitaryvote. com. Users will receive their absentee ballot within 48 hours of submitting their requests. Kander established the new portal in time for voters to request and receive ballots for the statewide primary election on August 5. The portal will also be live for the November 4, 2014 general election, and all elections thereafter.

Jason Offutt Author’s note: In Spring 2013, I spent three and a half weeks teaching in the UK. This is one in an amazingly sporadic series exploring my time there. The feeling was a little weird, like waking from a fuzzy afternoon nap to find my brain floating about two feet to the left. It was the McDonald’s Restaurant’s fault. It had to be, even though I didn’t do anything crazy like eat there; I just walked by. The Golden Arches hung on the front of the restaurant, the customary yellow-upon-red scheme as normal to me as my face in the mirror. But the slim brick building wedged between a moneychanger/souvenir shop (“Best Rates! Euro! American! ILondon shirts, cheap!”) and the Bolivian consulate (or maybe restaurant. I can’t read Aymaran), was probably 500 years old. Things 500 years old in the States are dug up by archeologists and put in museums; in the U.K. people buy Big Macs in them. I think this is what bothered me; the McDonald’s Restaurant wasn’t in its natural environ-

ment. The restaurant chain, that began as a barbecue joint in Monrovia, California, in 1937 (offering more than 20 barbecue items on its menu), moved to San Bernadino, California, in 1948 and became a hamburger, French fry, and milkshake drive in. Mixer salesman Ray Kroc bought franchising rights to the restaurant in 1955 and, 58 years later America is the second fattest country in the world (thank you Mexico). The first McDonald’s sat on the side of a highway. That’s where McDonald’s are supposed to be, on busy sidewalkfree roadways Americans have to drive to. This restaurant in London was right on the pavement where just anyone could walk in, which is a bit careless of the planning and zoning department. Stickers for the “Great Tastes of America: Louisiana BBQ, Chicago Supreme, Arizona Nacho Grande, California Melt, New York Classic,” adorned the windows, making me wonder why, in a city with food readily available from almost every culture on this planet, would anyone go out of their way to eat an Arizona Nacho Grande Quarter Pounder? A lot of people would. The place was packed. As frightening as this is, American food might just be part of the international cultural experience. There are 1,200 McDonald’s in the United Kingdom, but, unlike in America, McDonald’s doesn’t sit at the top of the fast food mountain. It’s not Burger King either, although the burger chain has 1,400 locations in the U.K. The

biggest American fast food location here is Subway with 1,500 restaurants. Yep. Bread and lunchmeat. The UK also has plenty of Pizza Hut restaurants (400 U.K. stores), Dominos Pizza (770), KFC (777), and Starbucks (556). There are also a couple of TGIFridays in London, as well as a Chipotle Mexican Grill. What’s next for the British? Eating grits at Waffle House? This made me wonder where all the British fast food franchises were. I saw a few Pret a Manger restaurants, which sell healthy freshly made sandwiches, but there are only 230 of these shops in England (and one in Wales), and the famous British hamburger joint Wimpy only has 150 locations in the entire United Kingdom. As I continued down the street I walked the walk of the righteous food snob because I avoided American food. I ate traditional British food in restaurants operated by people from countries most Americans don’t know exist, and street vendors. The French truffade I purchased for £4.50 near Westminster Abbey is sort of a pancake made with potatoes cooked in goose fat mixed with cheese, sausage, and ham. It was delicious. They don’t sell that at McDonald’s, even in France. Seriously, I checked.

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

You Should’ve Been There jugglers to the KCFD firetruck to the horse that plotzed to the Rusty Zippers and patriotic golf carts that marched down the streets lined with American flags and neighbors sitting curbside in lawn chairs to watch this grand parade. The parade venue even had a huge Liberty Bell courtesy of Mount Moriah Funeral Home that kids couldn’t resist ringing. Hands down, Bob Russell should be recruited to the Mayor’s P a r a d e Committee, if there is one.

The 9th Annual Pet Parade at Villa Woods Subdivision represented some of the best patriotic community spirit I have seen in years from the Color Guard to the Villa Ladies marching with their walkers in step to “Stars and Stripes” to the stylish cars of yesteryear and a Hummer to the dogs and a couple of pigs decked in red, white and blue to the
