Schmidli Is New Principal At Little Blue Elementary
Kansas City Chief’s mascot KC Wolf recently made a visit to Fleetridge Elementary in Raytown, and students had an assembly to welcome him. Dan Meers serves as KC Wolf, and he spoke with students about the “ABC’s of Success.” Meers told students to: A, choose to have a good Attitude; B, choose to model good Behavior; and C, develop a strong Character. For attitude, he told students to think: “Give yourself a check up from your head up” and
choose to be positive and excited to learn. Meers showed students a video of himself dressed as KC Wolf on adventures like jet skiing, tackling football players, and driving four-wheelers. Mr. Meers answered questions from students (yes, he does personally know Slugger!), and he even allowed 4th grader, Ben Gippner, to try on the KC Wolf costume so students could see how he gets dressed as a mascot for the Chiefs.

Raytown Charter Commission By Steve Guenther Charter Commission Chairman The Raytown Charter Commission held its 9th meeting Monday night, August 25 2014, to continue the process of developing a City Charter that will come before
the citizens of Raytown for approval in the April 2015 municipal elections. Steady progress continues to be made toward that effort as the commissioners have successfully completed the Articles and Sections that outline specific items for the Board
of Alderman and Mayor. They are currently discussing the City Administrative and Personal Policies, along with specific Sections on the City Clerk, City Administrator, and City Attorney. The goal of the Charter Commission has always been
to follow current city policy, as close as possible, and to create a City Charter that the citizens of Raytown would approve of. To that effort, the Commission has been using the Missouri Municipal League’s guide, “A Model Charter for Missouri Cit-
ies”, along with current City Charters from surrounding communities and Charters from throughout Missouri for consistency. A draft copy of the proposed Charter is expected to be complete by the end of the year for final review
and presentation to the citizens by February 2015. The latest progress on the actual charter, as well as meeting minutes, can be found at https://sites.google.com/site/ raytowncharter/

Here Come The KC ROYALS, AGAIN!
By George Michaud
Alex Gordon was the Royal’s hero Tuesday night, August 26, 2014, with his home run in the bottom of the ninth to clinch the winning run coming to the front from behind, Minnesota was leading 1 to nothing but Gordon fixed that with one swing of his bat to win 2 to 1 and the crowd went wild. Hero for the night. Going into Wednesday night’s game, the Royals lost two straight games while Detroit won leaving the Royals 1½ games up in first place over Detroit. However, a turn of events with Tuesday
night’s win and Wednesday’s spectacular win, scoring six runs in the bottom of the 8th inning pretty much sealed the fate of the Minnesota Twins. Dyson opened the 8th with a singles off a bunt ground ball to first, Cain scores, Moustakakas to 2nd. Aoki singles on a line drive to left field, Moustakakas scores. Then Billy Butler came to the plate with a soft line drive to right, Aoki scores, Escobar scores and finally in the 8th, Perez triples on a line drive to left and Alex Gordon scores and Billy Butler scores for a total of six runs in that inning. Detroit had just lost their
outing with the Yankees beating those 8 to 4 minutes before this and the Kaufman Stadium went absolutely wild with excitement. The Royals were now 2½ games up in first over Detroit again. Quite the feat after suffering two excruciating losses in a row. Tuesday night’s game with Alex Gordon was a nail biter right to the bitter end and his home run made it all worthwhile. The fans are growing increasingly excited for this team since it will take only a handful more wins to assure them a spot in the playoffs for 2014.
Engage Raytown Offers Venue For Communication With City By Brenda Gustafson City of Raytown Public Information Officer (PIO) What makes a great community? The City believes much of it is to develop and understand the shared values of a community. We also believe to understand those values, we need conversation, suggestions, ideas, and general information from a broad range of community members. Our hope is the Engage
Raytown website will provide opportunities for residents, city government officials and Raytown businesses to work together to understand the challenges the city faces, help in problem solving and provide feedback on initiatives. Engage Raytown allows members of our community to contribute from your own home and on your own schedules. We believe this will help us reach a broader audience. And with this broader audi-
ence comes a broader range of ideas, solutions and participation. Residents can engage 19 staff members, ten aldermen and Mayor David Bower on this platform. Here are some examples: Dyon Harper, one of Raytown’s Police Officers, responded to a resident, who expressed an interest in being a police officer. He wrote:

dations to the county. During her tenure she implemented long-range financial planning. This long-term, collaborative, financial planning process was used to anticipate long-term operational as well as capital needs and projecting future cash flows. She has also worked for the Cities of Neosho, Missouri and Springfield, Missouri. Her education background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration and is currently working on her Masters of Organizational Leadership from Evangel University located in Springfield, Missouri. She holds certification in Government
Financial Management and Public Funds Investment. “I’m excited about joining the Raytown team.” said Ms. Mundt. “ I look forward to building on the great work that is already in place at the City.“ Ms. Mundt has been active in a wide variety of associations outside of her job. These include Association of Government Accountants, Association of Public Treasurers of the United States, Missouri Government Finance Officers Associations as well as a Group Leader at James River Church. The previous Finance Director, Mark Loughry,
tendered his resignation on April 21, 2014, to pursue entrepreneurial opportunities which was officially announced at the Board of Aldermen meeting on May 20, at which time Tom Cole was named interim finance director. Cole was sworn in as the interim to sign documents and provide oversight for the day-to-day activities. Finance consultant, Ben Hart, was brought in to develop the budget process and prepare the City’s budget for adoption for fiscal year November 1, 2014, to October 31, 2015, because Mundt would not be starting until November 3, 2014.
Raytown Man Found Dead In Street Raytown Police were called on a reported man unconscious in the street in the area of 69th and Hunter on Tuesday, August 26, 2014, around 2:30 a.m. The police arrived and determined the man in his 30’s was actually dead. The man has been identified as Patterson

Engage continued from page 3 “Jonathan, we’re always looking for people of integrity to add to our ranks.” When you’re ready, contact our Professional Standards Unit at 737-6128 or drop by the Department.” Mark L asked if it would be possible for animal Control to post pictures of found pets and pets who are available for adoption on the website. John Benson, Director of Development and Public Affairs answered indicating it was a great idea and that we will add that to the new Website that will be coming out later this Fall. Michael O like the idea of having an information packet for senior citizens and the disabled on what kind of transportation is available. Mayor Bower responded that this is quickly becoming a bigger issue every day with our aging population. The city recently joined with several other cities and the Truman Heartland Foundation to study senior mobility further. Jerrest G wondered why traffic tickets could not be paid online in Raytown. Mark Loughry, now former Director of Finance, provided an answer, “The city is in the process of upgrading the software for all departments. Once the software in the courts department is up-
dated the ability to pay certain fines online will become a reality.” Who should participate on this site? Everyone! We want your ideas, your feedback, your comments and your point of view. Together, we can build a better Raytown! You can get to the site at www.raytownmo.mindmixer.com. Current Questions that Engage Raytown is asking residents: 1. What would you like to see in the new charter? Do you like the current 10 person (2 from each of the 5 wards) set up? 2. Tell us your Raytown Story! Do you have something unique that happened in Raytown? Do you have some memories you’d like to share? 3. Brewer & Shipley will headline the Raytown Arts and Music Festival in September. Do you have any Brewer & Shipley stories? They used to live in Raytown. Do you have any stories about that time or a concert you attended? 4. Should our elected officials be called Board of Aldermen or City Council? Something the Charter Commission is grappling with. 5. With the Kansas City Royals in the hunt, we’re asking for residents pictures at the games either in town or out of town, pictures of Raytown Little League or just a family pickup game.

Judy continued from page 4 quite pleasant.” “Ray Bolger was a gigantic star after the “Wizard of Oz” also and Bolger was the FIRST star to open our new Congo Show-Room at the Sahara Hotel in 1952”, says Irwin. “Ray’s wife did not want Ray performing in a nightclub or where liquor was sold so Ray asked me to give her a personal call about it because Ray wanted to perform, sing and dance.” Stan gave Ray’s wife a call and explained to Ray’s wife that “our new room at The Sahara has never been performed in by anyone. Ray would be the first to appear there and that it was a theater with new lights, new sound, new booths, staging, etc.” After some coaxing and actually inviting her in to see the room in person convinced her. Being the gentleman, Stan Irwin let Ray Bolger open the Congo Show-Room for the first time. Ray had many successful return engagements thereafter to packed houses with his unique singing and “eccentric dancing” as it was called. The William Morris Agent who handled Ray Bolger at
the time was shocked that Stan Irwin was able to talk his wife into letting him play
such a place. “Ray Bolger used to come into my office years later at

Burbank, CA, and visit and sometimes discuss a part we had for him. He was the nicest, still boyish, charming man he had always been. Clean cut and just as kind as one could be. Ray passed away in 1987 from cancer just days after his birthday in Beverly Hills where he wrote all those books on the history of Beverly Hills that he was an expert on”, said Stan Irwin. Incidentally, for those of you who do not know, those lost Ruby Red Slippers of Judy’s from “The Wizard of Oz” were found in 2012 by Leonardo DiCaprio and Steven Spielberg during an auction. Someone was trying to sell them for between two to three million dollars. They got them and donated them to a museum. How about that?

in 1960. He was ordained a priest in 1963, an elder in ‘67 and a high priest in ‘73. He founded Boy Scout Troop #334 in ‘61 and served as Scout Master for eight years. He received the International Youth Leaders Award for his many years of service to youth in 2013. He served as Ridgewood pastor from ‘71 through ‘73, during which time the partnership with Pleasant Heights was forged and the current sanctuary was built.

terized by his continued Boy Scout work, a Honduras mission trip in 1978 to establish ham radio communication at La Buena Fe, and 23 years of service to Independence’s Sister City Committee where he served as President from ‘83 through ‘85.

Hydrate Your Way To More Energy
Americans thirsting for more energy can refresh their hydration habits by thinking outside the water glass. Some foods - including flavorful, water-rich produce like watermelon - can help hydrate the body as well. “Sliced, cubed or blended, or even simply juiced, watermelon is a delicious way to increase fluid intake and boost energy,” said Elizabeth Somer, a registered dietician and author of several nutrition and wellness books. “Watermelon is 92 percent water, and the perfect ingredient for salads, salsas, smoothies and more.” With a distinctively sweet, refreshing taste, it may be hard to think of watermelon as a nutritious, low-calorie hydration boost. But actually, beyond its high water content, watermelon is loaded with vitamins A and C, potassium and magnesium, fiber and phytonutrients, such as lycopene. There are dozens of ways to enjoy watermelon, including a
Preparation 1. Combine all ingredients, including slices of juiced lime, in large serving pitcher. 2. Garnish with watermelon wedges and mint. Find more ideas to help you sip your way to hydration with mouthwatering inspiration at www.watermelon.org. Source National Watermelon Promotion Board
Making watermelon juice Agua Fresca wide range of cold, refreshing beverages. One easy way to up your water intake with watermelon is this simple one-ingredient recipe for watermelon juice: Just cut a seedless water-
melon into one-inch chunks with a sharp knife and place in blender. Blend watermelon well until juice is smooth. If you prefer, you can strain the juice to remove the pulp. For a little extra flavor, try
combining watermelon juice with other fruity flavors, as in this Agua Fresca, which blends that natural sweetness of watermelon with lime, a small amount of sugar and water.

Ingredients • 1 cup finely chopped
watermelon • 7 cups coarsely chopped watermelon • 6 cups watermelon juice • 1/2 cup sugar • 1 large lime, juiced • 1 serving water (if needed) • Watermelon wedges • Mint leaves

Who Needs A Starbuck’s In Raytown, When We Have Benetti’s? By George Michaud Whoever said that Raytown doesn’t have an authentic coffee shop, on the order of a “Starbucks” at a much lower price? Well, they are full of coffee beans because right in the center of Raytown there is an inconspicuous road sign down low to the ground, which says “a coffee experience”. A delightful “coffee experience” it is. Adorned with a European appearance makes one thing you’re walking into a place far away and the outdoor café areas are perfect for sitting to read your morning paper while enjoying your favorite coffee with every flavor
Obituaries continued from page 6 parents, Marie lived a dramatic and eventful life. She survived the Great Depression, a childhood spent in orphanages, the Ruskin tornado, the death of her beloved husband, the deaths of two dearly-loved sons, Kent and Drew, and the death of her grandson, Geoffrey. Through all this turmoil she never lost her faith in God or her fundamentally positive outlook on life; she never ceased caring for others or thinking incessantly of the needs of others. She remained strong, smart, opinionated, and independent to the end. Marie had happy memories of her friends and times at Redemptorist Grade School and High School, where she graduated in 1937. During World War II she worked as an Executive Secretary at a small war plant. Following the war she married Donald Holt Shurmantine of Lexington, MO. They had four children, Kent, Drew, Brad, and Lori, before Don was killed in a car accident in 1957. To raise her four children, Marie went to work in the Computer Programming Dept. of the Bendix Corporation, where she remained for 21 years before retiring in 1983. The rest of her life she devoted to her children and grandchildren, her family and friends, and her parish, St. Catherine’s. Marie is survived by her son, Drew’s wife, Pam, and their two sons Bradley and Gifford; her son, Brad and wife Mary of Napa, CA, and their daughters Kara and Alea; and her daughter, Lori and husband Dave and their children Collin, Brandon, Kevin, Erin, Megan, and Caitlin. She is also mourned by her six great- grandchildren, Emerson, Cooper, and Sawyer (children of Erin and Steve Bales); and Addy, Greyson, and Griffen (children of Brandon and Amy Vorbeck). Marie died before she could welcome and love her seventh great-grandchild, Mabrie Marie, daughter of Megan and Mike Moll. A visitation honoring Marie’s memory was held on August 27, at Our Lady of the Presentation Catholic Church, Lee’s Summit. Mass of Christian Burial took place on August 28, at Our Lady of the Presentation. She will be buried in Mt. Olivet Cemetery next to her husband, Don.

I noticed the caffé latte (Italian) is popular at Benetti’s since just about everyone had one with different flavors. They offer hot biscuits with sausage and egg or sausage, egg and cheese, which are quite good for those with an appetite. Service is hurried by those behind the counter mostly because they need to move fast to keep everything hot and fresh and the line moving.

Love Is Mysterious By ElizaBeth Clayton Westridge Gardens A beautiful and unique event took place at Westridge Gardens Rehabilitation and Care Center on Saturday, August 9, 2014. There were flowers, champagne, cake and rings! Yes, Westridge Gardens played host to a wedding! Martha Dellinger and Stephen Hawes “tied the knot “ in front of family, friends, residents, and employees in the Chapel at Westridge Gardens Rehabilitation and Care Center. Martha Dellinger was born in Aplington, IA in 1945 and Stephen Hawes was born in Huron, SD in 1949. The odds of the two of them meeting in Raytown, MO, earlier this year could not have been foreseen. Stephen moved to Westridge Gardens in the fall of 2012 and, not unlike many people who move into a nursing home, he felt discouraged and disappointed. That all changed when he saw Martha three days after she moved in earlier this year. When he saw her, Stephen said he had “that weird feeling.” About a week later, he made his move and gave her compliment. His compliment inspired her to kiss him. Shortly thereafter, Stephen proposed and she said no. Not to be discouraged, Stephen gave her some more time to “get to know him better” and then popped the question again. This time she said yes. The happy couple then picked out and purchased their rings during a facility shopping outing coordinated by Westridge Garden’s Activity Director, Vickie Ray. Once Vickie Ray heard that Martha and Stephen wanted to get married, and she jumped into action. She assembled a team that was comprised of the members of the couple’s family, other residents, and Westridge visit www.thcf.org. Doug Hammer, Paul M.

Garden’s employees to help. Carolyn Barker, MDS Nurse, made the wedding cake. Sandy Hoover, Hospitality Coordinator, made the appetizers and helped with decorations. Glen Matney, Continua Hospice Chaplain, officiated the ceremony and his wife, Christi, performed the music. Residents helped assemble wedding favors and the bride’s daughter made all of the finishing touches. Additionally, everyone from the Maintenance Department to Social Services Department pulled together to create a very special Honeymoon suite for the happy couple to move into on they’re wedding night. As Martha tells it, “we were excited about the wedding, but not nearly as excited as the employees and other residents.” When asked what their favorite moment of their
wedding day was, Stephen and Martha agreed that one of the highlights of the day was when they’re wedding song, “From this Moment,” was performed. Stephen confessed that for him, “kissing her and being introduced as Mr. & Mrs. Hawes was the biggest rush of the day.” They also agreed that having their family and friends there to celebrate their wedding with them was very special. Lastly, the happy couple wanted to thank the residents and the staff at Westridge Gardens for their love, support, and efforts in making their wedding day like a fairytale. Stephen and Martha have proven that no matter how old you are, and no matter where you live, you just have to have an open heart and a willingness to be loved to find love.
