XtraCare Adult Day Care Open In Raytown Another dream came true for Rose and Abayomi Iyewarun when they opened XtraCare Adult Day Care, 6311 Evanston Ave. XtraCare is state of the art facility dedicated to high quality adult day care services from Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is Medicaid approved and licensed for 48 people, offering more space and amenities than the standard daycare. While the state requires one quiet room, XtraCare offers three. There are a number of sitting areas for watching large screen TV, playing board games, reading, arts and crafts, dining and activities - even a computer lab with three PCs and printers. There are plans to add a sewing room. They provide two restaurant-style meals and one healthy snack daily plus free transportation. An LPN is on staff but they are not yet equipped for managing Alzheimer patients. Rose and her son, Abayomi, promise to give your loved ones all the care and respect that your loved ones deserve. After spending 22 years of her life teaching youth in the Kansas City School District, Rose sees this daycare as yet another opportunity to give back to a country that has been so good to her family. “I love the youth but also the older people. They are so wise and intelligent and can remember so many things. They should have a place where they can be loved, where they laugh, tell stories, clap hands, and not be lonely. To have a place to feel good,” explains Rose who has a PhD in Family and Con-
sumer despite the heartbreaks and obstacles to get an education. Rose did not attend first grade until she was 13 years old in her native Nigeria. Her parents did not have the money to pay for her schooling so her only option was to go to the mission school that offered a free education but was a two day walk from her home. “My mother told me that she would do everything she could to get me to school and so I aspired to get the highest degree in education. I would not marry my husband to be because I first had to get an education but he said he would let me

July Raytown Parks Board Meeting Updates on Pickleball, Super Splash and the Arts Festival
By Robert Smith The meeting was opened by the new president of the board, George Mitchell on Monday, July 21. Terry Copeland is the new vice president. The new committees will be formed and will begin the preparation of and review of the budget next month. Fireworks contributed to vandalism in the parks on July 4. The worst was the destruction of the ceramic toilet at the Kenagy Park restroom. This is the third time that the toilet has been replaced. Each of the new fixtures cost about $350 plus staff time to replace. Storm damage from heavy winds on July 8 caused significant damage at Kenagy, Minor-Smith and Southwood parks. The roof of the Kenagy shelter house suffered damage as well as a number of trees at all three parks. Softball and tennis leagues
are starting the summer/fall sessions at Colman and Little Blue Trace Parks. Pickleball players at Colman Park have been gaining in numbers, and the pickleball courts have seen as much use as the dedicated tennis courts. They have been having clinics and special events once a month and there will be future discussions about the 2015 season. Movie in the Park “Frozen” was a big hit as anticipated. There were well over 200 viewers at the park where the Friends of Raytown Parks sold concessions. The next movie is “The Nut Job” on August 15th. The equipment to show the movie was purchased by the Friends of the Park with a grant from the Truman Heartland Community Foundation and has been a great benefit and asset to the program. A special thanks to Michael Hanna Law Firm for sponsorship of this program
that covered the cost of movie rights for the rest of this season. Raytown Parks has been able to host five free movies in the 2014 summer season that started in May and will end in September. The Arts and Music Festival planning is coming together and looks to be a great event for all ages that is scheduled for September 27 at Kenagy Park. Four bands have been firmed up. Brewer and Shipley are headlining and the rest of the line up includes Sharp Dress Man playing ZZ Top tunes and Linda Shell and Blues Thang and KC Kelsey CJ Walker Band are known for KC blues. Fun House Pizza will be the beverage sponsor in celebration of its 50th year anniversary. Parks is planning to get the electrical upgrades completed by that time. Katie the pool manager for Super Splash made a great presentation. She reviewed
the various methods of communicating with the public about the special events and specials happening at Super Splash. Results of a survey showed that 45 % of attendances were first time visits. Cleanliness, safety, interaction with staff, concession stand products and prices were rated excellent. Interestingly, the survey indicated that 85 % did not follow Super Splash on social media although Facebook, Twitter, Instagram were used to market events and specials. And 78% of those survey said the smoking area should not be eliminated. On July 10, Missouri Cares came to Super Splash and provided a chance for anyone to swim free from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Over 1,500 attended the facility during that time. They had extra lifeguards, concession staff and security, using private and police officers but there were no issues
reported and all had a great time. The remainder of the meeting was spent discussing the many waterline breaks. There have been 8 + breaks that have been repaired with some of the smaller ones that still need repaired. This has been the worst year for waterline breaks with no reason except age. The large 50-meter pool is about 65 years old and we all know what goes with age. The attendance is projected to be nearly 24,000, which will be about the same as 2013. The projected attendance was 30,000 but unseasonably cool temperatures and rain fall could not be forecasted. It is projected that the final numbers not including the many extra cost for staff and related cost for the waterline breaks. Because of the added time needed there are a number of projects in the other parks that have
been put on the back burner. One of those is the new electric sign for the Raytown road entrance to Kenagy and the electrical additions as Kenagy for the Raytown Arts and Music Festival scheduled on September 27. A lot of discussion was around the 2015 season at Super Splash. It was reported that in excess of $480,000 will have to be spent in order to bring Super Splash into a condition for another year. It was stated that the parks budget will not support anywhere near that kind of expense. It was discussed and said that the city will need to step up and pay for a large part of these repairs if Super Splash is to reopen next year. It was suggested that a working meeting be set between the two boards in early August prior to the final budgets being set.
Education Is Key For KC’s Economic Future By Jeff Pinkerton KCEconomy.com Everyone knows there are three laws of real estate: location, location, location. Our data suggests there should be similar laws for economic development: education, education, education. All metropolitan areas, including Kansas City, compete with each other for future economic growth and development. We have a number of fine economic development organizations throughout the region that work to sell prospective businesses on the benefits of relocating to the Kansas City metro. These development agencies often tout our quality of life and our central location, and state and local governments sometimes offer tax or training benefits to help bring businesses to the region. Increasingly, however,
businesses depend on a talented workforce to grow. The availability of talented workers will trump other amenities. Without the right workers, businesses can’t succeed, no matter what the quality of life is or how low the taxes are. Kansas City is competitive in terms of overall educational attainment. One third of the region’s adults have at least a bachelor’s degree, compared to only 29 percent nationwide. However, there are other metros with significantly higher levels of educational attainment. The chart below shows how Kansas City ranks against all large metros in the country in terms of educational attainment (vertical axis). And, as is typical, Kansas City is right in the middle (19th out of the 52 metros with a population of at least 1 million).
But what is most noteworthy about the chart is the relationship between education and income. The higher your level of educational at-
tainment, the higher your median household income. Sure, there are other factors at work, but the line in this graph provides strong, if not
surprising, evidence correlation between tion and income. The Kansas City was recently selected
of the educaregion to par-
ticipate in Lumina Foundation’s Community Partnership for Attainment strategy. MARC and other partners will work with Lumina to develop plans to improve postsecondary attainment in the community. Lumina will provide significant technical and planning assistance, data tools, and a modest amount of flexible funding, helping the region customize attainment plans that best suit needs. Planning work is currently in progress with local partners and a two-year implementation process will begin this fall. If we want Kansas City to continue to grow and become more competitive on the global stage, we will need more and more talented workers. Anything we can do to raise the bar on educational attainment will be well worth the effort.
Kansas City Woman Pleads Guilty To Stealing Clients’ Tax Refunds Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced that, Dinette Kay Cadenhead, also known as Kay Taylor, 46, of Kansas City, pleaded guilty before U.S. Chief District Judge Greg Kays to the theft of public money. By pleading guilty, Cadenhead admitted that she prepared federal income tax returns for clients containing material false and fraudulent claims. Caden-
head, working at her office in Raytown, MO, or from her residence, assisted at least 12 individuals to file at least 29 false and fraudulent income tax returns for the tax years 2008 through 2010. The tax loss associated with those false returns is $109,627. The aggregate tax loss, including relevant conduct is $134,237. Cadenhead admitted that she utilized false deductions to increase her clients’ refunds without the clients’
knowledge. The false entries included fraudulent charitable deductions, medical expenses, accounting expenses, attorney expenses, unreimbursed employee expenses and other expenses. She also included false IRA deductions on 18 of the returns without the clients’ knowledge. She reported net business losses, false energy credits and fraudulent dependents for some clients, all without their knowledge. Ca-
denhead electronically filed returns and indicated the returns were self-prepared. Cadenhead charged her clients a return preparation fee of between $65 and $600 per return. However, without the knowledge of her clients, Cadenhead diverted a portion of the fraudulent refund into her own bank account, which increased the amount she actually received for each return. She fraudulently received up to $2,600 for pre-
paring a return. Cadenhead directed over $14,000 into her bank accounts by splitting her clients’ refunds without their knowledge or permission. The specific charge to which Cadenhead pleaded guilty today is related to her unauthorized splitting of her clients’ refunds without their knowledge or permission. Cadenhead admitted that she stole portions of her clients’ inflated tax refunds, totaling
$14,082, between Feb. 12 and March 14, 2012. Under federal statutes, Cadenhead is subject to a sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison without parole, plus a fine up to $250,000. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office.

they returned to Nigeria. When looking back, she does not know how she managed to care for their four children, work two to three jobs and go to school during those years. “America is good. If you work hard, abide by the laws and rules then God can bless. All of my children earned a formal education. We appreciate everything,” says Rose. In 1983, Rose returned to the states to earn her PhD, leaving her husband and children behind in Nigeria.
One of her greatest heartbreaks was the loss of one of her sons while she was away. He incurred a sports injury playing baseball and died due to the negligence of the school to get him proper medical attention. She buried herself in her studies and her work cleaning house. One day, Mrs. Barrows, one of her clients, asked Rose about her family. Rose told her that they were all back in Nigeria while she worked her way through school. Mrs. Barrows offered to pay
for their airfare to come to the States if Rose could get their visas. “The visas miraculously came quickly for my husband and children. I told her that I would pay her back but she told me this was her Christmas gift to me,” recalls Rose. In 1987, Abayomi was diagnosed with colon cancer that was inoperable due to
the size of the mass. Chemo and radiation treatment reduced the grapefruit size tumor down to the size of a pinky finger and it was surgically removed and he is now cancer free. He earned a civil engineering degree at Iowa State. After working for an engineering firm in Jacksonville, Florida, he returned to the area to join in his
mother’s efforts to refurbish the XtraCare facility that was once a child day care center and remains as executive chef. The Iyewarun invite you with open arms to visit and tour XtraCare Adult Day Care anytime during operating hours. They are also planning an open house sometime in September.
and so I married him”, recalls Rose. In 1971, they came to the United States to get a formal education. He chose Kansas City, Missouri, because of its two major sports teams, the Kansas City Royals and the Chiefs. His people were of a royal family line. Rose’s husband, Sam, earned his PhD in Education at the UMKC while Rose earned her masters degree at CMSU and

It’s My Wife’s Kind Of Music; No Wonder My Head Hurts
Raytown Community Interfaith Alliance By Rex Block Member of the Bahá’í faith Chairperson of the Raytown Community Interfaith Alliance It seems that our world is ever more troubled, ever more complex, ever more angry and difficult. And yet, that simply is not true. The solution is so simple: “The divine religions must be the cause of oneness among men, and the means of unity and love; they must promulgate universal peace, free man from every prejudice, bestow joy and gladness, exercise kindness to all men and do away with every difference and distinction.” (Selections from the Writings of Άbdu’lBahá, p. 28) If one truly studies the divine religions, one will find they all teach the same basic: love. When Jesus was asked which is the first commandment, Jesus answered, saying, “The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12, 29-31) And the Teachings of the other Faiths, Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Islam, Bahá’í, are similar. Perhaps it is too much to expect our political leaders to understand this right now but if we chose to love our neighbors in our own homes, neighborhoods and communities, if we start communicating this love to our leaders, it can and will spread. I call it the “trickle up theory”. Just to show how it works, you might drop by Blue Ridge Christian Church some weekday morning between 10:30 and 11:30 and watch the many men, women and children from many churches and faiths, working in unison to prepare and distribute lunches to some 900 less fortunate children of our community. And it doesn’t matter what color their skins or what language these children speak, our city IS feeding the needy. And if this example isn’t sufficient, stop by REAP, the Raytown Emergency Assistance Program, and watch this organization’s volunteers provide food for hundreds of needy
families, our neighbors, every month. Life is not about our differences, it is about our similarities: “One must see in every human being only that which is worthy of praise. When this is done, one can be a friend to the whole human race. If, however, we look at people from the standpoint of their faults, then being a friend to them is a formidable task. (Selections from the Writings of Άbdu’l-Bahá, p. 169) It makes me think of one of my favorite songs: Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me. Let there be peace on earth The peace that was meant to be. With God as our Father Brothers all are we. Let me walk with my brother In perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me Let this be the moment now. With every step I take Let this be my solemn vow. To take each moment And live each moment With peace eternally. Let there be peace on earth, And let it begin with me.
Jason Offutt It was only 5:30 p.m. This was going to be a long night. I drove my wife to Kansas City for a concert of a performer she loved (Ben Folds), that I wanted to see as much as an Amish girly magazine. Amish Guy 1: Oh, Jebediah. It shows ankle. Amish Guy 2: Avert your eyes, Obadiah I took her to the concert and smiled because that’s what you do if you want to stay married. Ben Folds performance with the Kansas City Symphony was at the relatively new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts. We’d moved north of the Kansas City area a decade ago, and although return to visit family, we’ve never seen the center. It looks like the Sydney Opera House. Quick fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger won his last Mr. Olympia title at the Sydney Opera House in 1980. It’s fine for the Sydney Opera House to look like the Sydney Opera House
“Kiss Me, Kate”
because architect Jørn Utzon designed it to resemble the great sails on the ships that first brought Europeans to Australia. The opera house also overlooks Sydney Harbor. Sailing ships didn’t bring Europeans to Kansas City because Kansas City is in the middle of a continent. The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts (don’t get me wrong, it’s a beautiful building) overlooks concrete. Quick fact: Arnold Schwarzenegger wouldn’t be caught dead at this concert. My wife and I don’t have the same taste in music. I like songs with searing guitar riffs. She likes music by men who cry. Is there something farther apart than polar opposite? I thought not. There needs to be, because that would describe our CD collections. “There’s a lot of people here,” my wife said as we stood on the mezzanine looking below at the ritzy people there for the symphony who were ignoring the young hipsters there for Ben Folds. The hipsters looked ironically pleased with themselves, as they always do. I nodded. “You like the symphony.” Of course I like the symphony. I’m not an uncultured swine. I’m at least a semi-cultured swine. “I know.” I could sense her blood pressure rising. “Just don’t ruin this for me.” I went to find the bath-
room. My wife bought the tickets online before I could do anything about it (like I could). She was just in time to buy two seats, but not in time to get them together, so I snuck in earplugs, which were as effective as index fingers. I needed one of those headsets the airport ground crew used. Maybe I’m giving Ben Folds a hard time. In 2002, he received a Recording Industry Association of America gold record for his former group’s (Ben Folds Five) album “Whatever and Ever Amen.” Oh, and he’s a member of the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame, probably along with some banjo players. There’s nothing wrong with that; I like banjo music. He’s also performed with musical greats like William Shatner and “Weird Al” Yankovic. “Wasn’t the symphony beautiful?” my wife asked after the show. “Yes, it was, but if the symphony is playing pop songs I don’t like, it’s just pop songs I don’t like with strings.” She nodded. “Fine.” Quasi-marital bliss for one more day. Jason Offutt’s latest book, “Across a Corn-Swept Land: An epic beer run through the Upper Midwest,” is available at amazon.com. A native of Missouri, Jason currently teaches journalism at Northwest Missouri State University and has earned many humor writer awards throughout his career.
Review
By George Michaud This production was quite entertaining, staged to appeal to theater lovers. Lots of talent in an enthusiastic show with superb choreography by the artistry of Anna O’Renick. Choreography showed lots of hard work on the part of O’Renick who is only starting her junior year at William Chrisman High School. More later on Anna playing Bianca and Lois along with her duties as the choreographer. If I were being forced with a shotgun pointed at me, my forty years in the entertainment industry would have to predict a star in the making here with hers just beginning to shine. Theatergoers were vigorously entertained by the
pace, raw talent in a few and others destined for higher ground as shown by the likes of Anna’s voice showing off her wares in such numbers as when she portrayed Bianca evidenced by pure audience response to her every tune and dance number. Malia Shelton as Lilly Vanessa and Katherine Minola is excellent and makes Kate as real as one would expect. Shelton, appearing in one scene in the last of the play made an entrance where the stage prop fell down behind her, and like a pro she continues with her routine as though nothing happened. The audience knew it and sighed relief to find she wasn’t hurt. My only thought is that Shelton would ben-
efit from the added expertise of the best voice coach available if she continues her aspirations in theater/ music, etc. There were areas in various tunes which could have been phrased better and staying on key would have made this talent tops, although Shelton shined as Kate most of the play. Music conducted by the all-talented Bob Cochran was superbly executed and the orchestra musicians all added so much, making this production so enjoyable. Cochran is quite well respected in and around Raytown and Kansas City having already conducted the music for all but one of The Raytown Art’s Councils’ past productions.

Make Your Own Backyard Pizzeria With 93 percent of Americans consuming it at least once a month, and an average annual consumption of 46 pieces per person — it’s easy to see that pizza is a national obsession. These numbers from the National Association of Pizzeria Operators paint a powerful picture of the nation’s love affair with pizza. Just because it’s the heart of grilling season and the food focus is on steaks, burgers and hot dogs, it doesn’t mean we have to push aside this favorite Italian import. Now is the time to bring the pizza party to the patio and bake pizzas outdoors — and there are several ways to get it done. Directly on grill: Cook pizza right on the grill grate. Preheat the grill to 500°F and place the dough — without toppings — on the grate, directly over the fire. After a few minutes, flip the crust using tongs. Then add toppings on the grilled side. Pre-cook raw meat and fish toppings before placing
BLT Pizza them on the dough. Close the grill hood and continue cooking for several minutes. Don’t overload the pizza, as the crust may get soggy and some toppings won’t be consistently heated. Cooked on stone: A pizza stone is another way to bake
pizzas outdoors. It distributes heat more evenly and extracts moisture so crusts come out crispier. Preheat the stone at 500°F in the indirect grilling zone for about an hour. Cook any raw meat or fish toppings during this time. After the stone is heated,
assemble the pizza with the cooked toppings and place it directly on the stone. Cook the pizza with the grill hood closed at 500°F for about 1012 minutes, or until it’s done and the crust is browned. At the five-minute mark, rotate the pizza 180 degrees to cook evenly. Pizza oven: For those who want a pie like the one they get in artisan pizzerias, a pizza oven is the way to go. With some ovens reaching temperatures of 800°F or higher, pizzas can be cooked in just a few minutes. While large wood-fired brick ovens are popular, there are countertop ovens powered by natural gas or liquid propane, such as the Artisan Fire Pizza Oven by Kalamazoo Outdoor Gourmet. Both styles give backyard pizza maestros the ability to cook at extreme temperatures, giving crusts the perfect amount of char and chewiness. The gas-fired models offer the ability to tailor heat to particular pizza styles while the wood-fired ovens require
a little more attention and expertise.

Raytown Applebee’s Needs Consistancy By George Michaud After someone frequents a restaurant six times (which I make it a habit to do) to be certain that consistency of the quality of food, its preparation, presentation, taste and quantity served are always about the same, one then has a better understanding of whether to recommend this restaurant to friends and associates. In my case, YOU are the ones I care about. Our readers are our priority number one and the reason I do what I do so that you may experience a delightful dining out evening, lunch or whenever the establishment serves. On my sixth visit to Raytown Applebee’s at 350 Highway and Gregory last Sunday after reviewing the Play “Kiss Me, Kate” at Raytown South High presented by The Raytown Art’s Council. After an enjoyable afternoon matinee I found it convenient to drop by here once again. I would be remiss not to mention first off that it is always a wise thing to closely examine your silverware and glassware since both will be used to enjoy your meal. Nothing turns me off
more to be handed dirty silverware and/or a glass with someone’s lipstick still on it from the last use. My second visit, this happened to me and I was promptly given replacements after two attempts. On my most recent visit it was a table of four being waited on by another server having the same problem. My silverware and my guest’s was good. Management needs to pay closer attention to their washing process and ensure consistency with cleanliness.

changed the chef or not. It was acceptable, the flavor not consistent with my many other visits and the potatoes were atrocious, being dry and very bland, lacking the garlic and buttery flavor one expects. The side of mushrooms were just plain bland. Not cooked in oil, nor were they marinated or grilled which I always ask for and used to get. The receipt says “sautéed mushrooms” and that didn’t happen. A disappointment to say the least and my guest and I decided to have the “Blondie” caramel and nuts desert, served hot with a generous scoop of vanilla ice

cream which was delightful. I’m going to give it another try in a couple of weeks and do hope they get the Bourbon Street Steak back on par when it was such a treat to have and enjoy. I have no explanation for the kitchen, nor the food but can only say that on my other five visits this entrée was delightful, enough so that I ordered it over and over. However, consistency in a kitchen, with its food, taste and service are number one when it comes to repeat business and success or failure. I look forward to a pleasurable experience which I’m used to on my next visit.

Applebee’s certainly is not known for its killer ambiance nor its melt-in-your-mouth steaks, however for $13.89 just for the Bourbon Street Steak which does not come with a salad nor a side vegetable.

“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 Rotarian Vies For Hemmingway Look-Alike Contest Contestants in the 2014 “Papa” Hemingway LookAlike Contest tried to impress the judges Thursday, July 17, 2014, at Sloppy Joe’s Bar in Key West, Florida. Raytown Rotarian Tom Gibbens fulfilled one of the items on his “bucket list” by being a contestant along with about 130 men in this year’s competition staged during the island city’s annual Hemingway Days festival that continued through Sunday, July 20. Festival activities included the Running of the Bulls, a parody of its namesake in Pamplona, Spain. The 2014 Winner was Wally Collins of Phoenix, AZ.
From the 1930s until his death in 1961, the famed novelist, Ernest Hemingway, wintered regularly at his writing retreat in Key West where he was a night-
ly drinker and arm-wrestler at Sloppy Joe’s bar. In 1980, the look-alike contest was launched at newly opened Sloppy Joe’s to honor Hemingway’s legend.
