The Girl That Gave Co-Mo Electric Cooperative It’s Heartbeat

By Diane Krizek Editor

When Geraldine Schmidt left her first fulltime job in Tipton, Missouri, and headed for Washington, D.C., to a new job working for the U.S. Navy in 1941, she never looked back – until last year. Her nephew contacted her about the Co-Mo Electric Cooperative in Tipton celebrating its 75th anniversary in May. He told her that

they are writing a book covering the entire history of the cooperative but they were missing gaps in the beginning. Co-Mo came from the first two letters of each county in the cooperative’s territory: Cooper, Cole, Moniteau and Morgan. “I told him that I was the one who deposited the check that gave Co-Mo its heartbeat in 1939,” said Geraldine who is now 94 years-old and still living in Raytown after

Photo by Steve Hartman Ken Johnson and Geraldine Schmidt Rodgers at the 75th annual meeting of the CO-MO Electric Cooperative in May 2014 raising a family. Folks here know her as Gerri Rodgers. Geraldine took immediate action and called Ken Johnson, general manager of Co-Mo. She introduced herself to his secretary who immediately recognized her name. “I will see to it that he calls you back,” she said. And so he did and they had a nice chat about what happened in Tipton four years after the passage of the Rural Electrification Act in 1935 that would provide federal loans for the installation of electrical distribution systems to serve the rural areas of our nation. Geraldine told him that Jack

Needy hired her to be the bookkeeper for the new electric cooperative office in Tipton. She was its second employee (Needy being the first) and was all of 19 years-old having recently completed the bookkeeping program at the Central Business College in Sedalia, Missouri. “I’m not a bookkeeper so you’re pretty much on your own’” she remembers him saying that first day on the job when she was handed an endorsed check for $342,000 (now equivalent of about $5.8 million today) from the Rural Electrification Administration (REA). That allocation from the REA would be used

to build its first section of electrical lines. Electric companies would not electrify rural America because they claimed they couldn’t make money with the properties being so far apart. Productivity set with the sun. Barns and stables did not have light. Farmhouses could not use the modern appliances of the day, like refrigerators and washing machines. Building electrical networks across the country put people back to work after the depression. Geraldine remembers that every task she did that first day on the job

Our Youth Are Still The Best By Al Maddox Executive Director, Cave Spring Historic Site & Nature Center This summer, we had a second group of young people from the Youth Volunteer Corps of Greater Kansas City (YVCKC) to work at Cave Spring. This group of boys and girls, young men and women, come from over the greater K.C. area. During four days of work at the Cave, they worked a combined 240 hours. The work was a combo of weed eating our trails and several

Co-Mo continued from page 1 she learned to do in college. She walked a half block down the street to the bank where she opened the bank account for the Co-Mo Electric Cooperative and deposited the check. Then she walked down to the post office to get a post office box set up for the co-op. Then back to the bank she went to cash one of the new temporary checks. With cash in hand, she walked to the drug store to purchase office supplies and what she needed to set up the books which she worked on for the rest of the day. “That took a full day to

other projects that needed to be done. This year I was lucky that I got two different groups from YVCKC donating a total of 480 hours of great work for Cave Spring. Their time and effort has made Cave Spring a much better place to visit. Their effort has shown me that our youth are still the best. For more information about this worthy organization, visit http://www. yvckc.org/.

do all that and then I walked home which was just two blocks away,” recalls Geraldine, “and it got bigger every day.” She not only kept the books but calculated all the electric bills. An addressograph was used to print customer names and addresses on post cards but every bill total had to be manually calculated and written. As each section of the new electrical system came on line, Geraldine’s work load increased. All Johnson knew about that first day was that the REA check was deposited and Jack Needy and Geraldine Schmidt were the co-

operative’s first employees. He asked Geraldine if she would be able to come to Co-

Mo’s 75th annual meeting on May 23. 2014, in Tipton and share her story on stage. Pri-

the anniversary of energizing the first section of the electrical network. Members of the cooperative were able to decorate their Christmas trees with electric lights. Geraldine went on to a career working for the U.S. Navy during the war, for the executive secretary of the Missouri Retired Teachers Association and eventually joined her late husband’s optical business. In all the years since, she never fully realized until this year how vital the role of her first job was to the transformation of rural communities in our state that would increase economic development.

Geraldine’s pictures published in “Co-Mo County, Power for the People”

or to the annual meeting, he showed her some of the early checks that she had written. Her pictures of those early years were published in “CoMo Country, Power for the People” that covers “75 years of lighting the way” written by John Agliata, the cooperative’s communications manager. Every one who attended the annual meeting received a copy. Geraldine recalls that the first annual meeting of the cooperation took place in the high school gymnasium. This year, 1,650 members attended the 75th annual meeting. The cooperative is looking forward to Christmas Eve 2014,

Mike Eierman has been teaching one of a kind wrestling techniques since 2006 that have produced youth, high school, and college champions including 241 Missouri USA youth state qualifiers, 152 youth state medalists, 36 USA Wrestling Youth State Champions, Fargo National Champions and All-Americans, Roller AllStars and Outstanding Wrestlers, and a Trinity Award Winner. Most recently, two alumnus of Eierman Elite Wrestling are making wrestling history in Missouri. J’Den Cox, a freshman at the University of Missouri became

Mizzou’s fifth national champion, the youngest champion in program history. Cox won four-time state wrestling champion in his last year of high school winning four state titles in four different weight classes. As a junior, Jaydin Clayton never lost a high school wrestling match. At 67-0, Clayton never had to wrestle the full six minutes of a high school match, ending all of his bouts early by pin or technical fall. In the first two years of the Tolton High school wrestling program, Clayton brought home two championship trophies. Eierman, an All-Amer-

ican from Nebraska who trained at the U.S. Olympic Center in Colorado, moved to mid-Missouri in 2003. He worked as a volunteer assistant coach under Brian Smith at the University of Missouri and coached the Rock Bridge Wrestling Club. The breadth of Eierman’s experience and training is more than be covered in this article. “I started wrestling at age 4. The difference between me and other students was that I asked a lot of questions about why the techniques. It has to make sense mentally. I finally stopped reading the book and started doing it my way. I threw out what didn’t work for me. I saw coaches loosing matches due to technique. Wrestlers once

on the bottom couldn’t get back up. I determined to fix that and develop techniques for every situation and along with that came teaching selfconfidence to get out of those situations. I started coaching J’Den Cox when he was eight years old and Jayden Clayton when he was six. The hardest part was waiting for the results. I know it was right because we’re winning,” explains Eierman. Some refer to Eierman as the Bruce Lee of wrestling because of his unique “Funk” and scramble techniques. He claims that you don’t have to be a great athlete to win. “It’s more mental

and some people don’t get it. They have to be the best in everything they do. They can’t be a good wrestler and not keep their room clean,” he says. Eierman has been coaching in Columbia and St. Louis but more students are coming to him from the Kansas City area. Thanks to the partnership with Extreme Grand Prix, Raytown will have another great asset. Visit EiermanWrestling.com for more information about Mike Eierman and his wrestling career.

Craft Brewers Two Raytown Child Abuse Cases Charged In One Day Welcome To Raytown

By Mallory Ragon

The City of Raytown has approved craft breweries as an accepted use in their zoning laws. The board of aldermen voted unanimously in favor of the change on Tuesday night. The planning and zoning commission, who met previously to decide on a recommendation for the board, also voted unanimously in favor of allowing craft breweries in Raytown. Alderman Charlotte Melson asked a few questions alluding to concerns over safety and increased traffic, though they were more specific to Crane Brewing Company’s proposed brewery and taproom—the business that started this whole process. Alderman Pat Ertz clar-

ified that what the board was deciding on at this time was simply whether such businesses could be allowed in the city at all: Crane, and other potential brewers, will still be subject to the same processes and requirements that all other businesses must abide by to open their doors in Raytown. The motion to approve was made by Alderman Jim Aziere and there were no votes against. Alderman Jason Greene was absent from the July 15 session. The Facebook page for Crane was updated immediately after the roll call had been taken to share the good news: it was met with a flood of “likes” and excited and congratulatory comments for having made this first step.

RDA Endorsements For The Democrat Primary The Raytown Democratic Association delivered its Democrat Party candidate endorsements for the state primary election on August 5, 2014.

On Friday, July 11, 2014, Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced charges against two Raytown residents for two separate and unrelated child abuse cases. James D Reddell, dob: 7/24/1964, faces Domestic Assault in the 1st Degree, Abuse of a Child, and Endangering the Welfare of a Child.* According to court records, the victim’s mother told police she had left the 6-month-old infant in Reddell’s care on July 11.

Steven L. Davis After she returned home the victim was limp and

the child’s left eye would not open. The child began to have convulsions and was having trouble breathing. A physician told police the injuries were not consistent with accidental injuries. Prosecutors have requested a bond of $250,000. Steven L. Davis, dob: 3/26/1959, faces Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, two counts of Statutory Sodomy in the 2nd Degree, Possession of Child Pornography and Unlaw-

ful Possession of a Firearm. Davis, according to court records, the reporting party told police that the victim, born in January 2000, was touched inappropriately by Davis. During a forensic interview at Child Protection Center, the child confirmed the touching and Raytown police later searched and found numerous images of naked children in Davis’ home. Prosecutors have requested a bond of $250,000.

Neighborhood Services Division Outlines Goals

By Mallory Ragon

John Benson, director of the development and public affairs department, gave a presentation on the neighborhood services division to the Raytown Board of Aldermen on Tuesday. The presentation and subsequent board discussion took up the first hour of the July 15 regular session. There was a quick background on the division’s staff and responsibilities and an outline some of the projects they’re currently working on. The neighborhood services division is the largest division of the development and public affairs department and their chief responsibilities are animal control and code enforcement. Benson noted that the division plans to have two amendments for the

board’s consideration at their August 12 regular session: One for the city’s large trucks ordinance to change the maximum allowances from a weight to a measurement of length, width and height. Since it is the burden of the city to prove a violation, it can be very difficult to do so for weight requirements. The second proposed amendment is to the tall grass and weeds ordinance and is intended to change the waiting period from 9 days to 3 days for repeat offenders who have had more than one violation within the same calendar year. In addition, the division is working on a status table for violations that could be accessed via the new city website (also in development). Residents will be able to see what addresses have violations

and the status of those issues. Currently residents can call the department with those questions; the table is designed to make that information more easily accessible and to cut down on the number of phone requests the division receives. Benson also described the division’s work to coordinate programs for residents that are physically or financially unable to maintain homeownership. Alderman Bill Van Buskirk was hesitant to get on board: “I don’t want to sound harsh or mean, but it’s not the government’s job to take care of those things. Certainly the government can be of assistance in matching them with other agencies, but the first responsibility should be from family, if they have a family, and

friends and neighbors.” Benson agreed and clarified that the city itself would not be taking on responsibility for property maintenance for such residents, but that they are looking to create a system or network to help match volunteers and organizations that can help those who may need assistance. “Any time we can improve our neighborhoods,” Van Buskirk said, “that’s a plus for all of us—help bring new families and new businesses here.” Other aldermen echoed Van Buskirk’s sentiments and thanked Benson for his presentation and the work of the division. As Alderman Jim Aziere noted, “The presentation of our city is the basis of our community.”

A Marvel Of The Ancient World At £8 A Day

OPINION s t n e m Com I want to comment the Friends of the Raytown Parks for the movie nite on July 11, 2014. I had never been before but I took my grand kids and they had a wonderful time. Kudos for giving us a place that our children can come and enjoy the park and watch a movie that most people with kids can’t afford. The reasonable priced concessions were a treat. Can’t wait for the next movie and have been telling all my friends. Thank you for our community. Carletta I’ve not seen very many reviews on our local restaurants in local papers and we need more of them from someone who knows what they are doing. George Michaud sure knows what’s good and what isn’t so I know I can depend on what he says because George has been all over The USA five times over and tried every cuisine from Italian food to Chinese and everything in between many times over from Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, New York and has traveled every state, even to Alaska and Hawaii.

He’s eaten in restaurants in other countries most of us will never get to even see. In this review of a Ruby Tuesdays, George is right on spot when it comes to their Baby Back Ribs. They really are terrific and the taste is fabulous. Thanks for publishing this and hope we see more of this around our surrounding Raytown and close drives to get to from Raytown. There are so many. Your newspaper is fabulous and your online version is super. We’ve needed this in Raytown for a long time. Doug Brink The Raytown Pool Hall Raytown, MO. Raytown should approve the craft brewing ordinance and incent brewers to locate in the downtown area where events and pub crawls could be organized. Food trucks, live music, craft beers, etc. on a first Friday (or Saturday) would be a great draw. Fred Quatrocky

sary and saw my former client’s name of Jim Weinberg mentioned in the third paragraph where Marty Graham took a great interest in Jim and his talents at 11 years old. I heard many a story from Jim and his parents about his days and years at The Fun House Pizza on 350 Highway. Marty was super nice to Jim and Jim brought in crowds beyond Marty’s expectations and when Jim added the piano and other instruments the “sing-a-long crowd grew and grew to overflow and standing room only. When Jim did his drum solo the room stood still and with thunderous applause the crowd finished out the evening with more sing-alongs having the time of their life. I still hear about it even today from so many. The Fun House Pizza, a landmark and place with lots of memories. Great pizza too even to this day. Great article Diane. George Michaud, Raytown, MO Thanking the Honorable Mayor of Raytown David Bower for gracing this occasion (Raytown Chamber Ribbon Cutting Ceremony). Thanks to all the friends, colleagues and family members for their supports. Our website is now on the functional level, and look to improving and looking for clients/participants to tour and see our wonderful facility. Ready to care and serve.

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. Hills covered in fields of flowering yellow rapeseed flanked by lines of deep green trees rise and fall toward the horizon in every direction in the country outside London. Thatched roof chocolate-box houses occasionally appear on the roadside the farther we get from the city, although these houses were few. Most country homes, especially those in the small towns along our way, are red brick with tiled roofs, thatch being a thing of the past. Big square pubs with locals sitting at tables outside for a lunchtime pint featured prominently in these towns. If we were going to be on this bus another minute I was going to need to stop at one. Then we popped over a hill and saw our destination. Stonehenge. Built in prehistoric England by … Well, despite what archeologists tell us, no one knows who built this 108-foot circle of 10- to 26-foot high stones that range from 1.5 to more than 150 tons each.* And, more puzzling, no one knows why, or even how they built it. A number of these volcanic bluestones were moved to the area from a spot in Wales 160 miles away. I’ve wanted to see Stonehenge since I first read about it in second grade, and here it was right outside the vehicle’s window, and growing larger with each moment. My first words after all these years of anticipation were, “Holy (expletive).”

Forgive me, I’m American; we lack subtly. “Aliens,” Lucas, one of my students, said loudly enough for half the bus to hear. “I’m going to ask questions about aliens.” Stonehenge (which means hanging stone) looked a bit like aliens were really bad at playing Jenga. Space aliens actually make a bit more sense than the thought of primitive man cutting then dragging 150-ton stones 160 miles, and arranging them in a circle to line up with the stars of the midwinter solstice. Work on this megalithic structure began 5,000 years ago; the only Caterpillars at that time weren’t used at con-

one sees a historical object is that it’s smaller than they expected. Emerging from the tunnel to the level of the stones, I can tell you, Stonehenge is exactly what I expected. Vertical stones with horizontal capstones loom 13 feet over the people walking the perimeter, the taller stones in the center stand above these. Yeah, it’s big. The witch was off to the side talking with a family from Germany and waving her staff. Busloads of tourists merged with us as we made our way around the site, just a smattering of the 800,000 people who visit here each year. At £8 for adults, and £4.80 for children, one of the greatest standing

Jason at Stonehenge. Childhood dream fulfilled. struction sites, they turned into butterflies. Aliens? Yeah, I’m fine with that. As we stood in line, a slight honk moved the line off a handicap parking spot. A little blue car pulled into the spot and a middle-aged woman stepped out. Donned in a deep blue cloak and a crown of woven flowers, the woman held a staff topped with a carved wooden goat’s head. “She’s a witch,” someone said. I nodded. “I know. We’re going to have to burn her.” Druids have worshipped at Stonehenge for thousands of years. Considered a sacred temple, the structure still serves as a place of worship during the winter and summer solstices. If I remembered my “Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook” correctly, she was no Druid. The queue began to move and took us through a tunnel under the highway and up to Stonehenge. One of the complaints consistent with the first time some-

wonders of the ancient world is a bit of a bargain. My group made its way to the exit and found the cloaked woman with the goat-head staff kneeling and talking with a child. “I’m going to talk to her,” Lucas said. “I think she as a wart,” I told him. “I’d be careful.” Olivia, another student, stopped Lucas. “She might curse you.” We only had an hour at Stonehenge. Pity. I could have stayed all day. * Stonehenge isn’t just the rocks. It also incorporates a shallow 361-foot trench around the stones, but I left it out because nobody comes to Stonehenge and says, “will you look at that ditch.” Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon. com.

“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
