Raytown South Grad Performs With Director Langston University Flag Corps At Of Public Works The Missouri Classic On September 6th, Arrowhead Stadium will once again host the Missouri Classic for the second consecutive year. The game will feature the Langston University Lions against the Lincoln University Blue Tigers. And this year, Jasmine Bryant, a 2014 Raytown South graduate, will be performing with the Langston University Marching Band Flag Corps as a freshman. This is an exceptional accomplishment for Jasmine because freshmen are not allowed to try
out for Langston’s flag corps. But Jasmine determinedly made the drive down to Langston University in Oklahoma for the tryouts in March earlier this year and fought and won the opportunity to audition for a spot on the team. Performing with the Southern Regiment Marching Band flag team during her 9th, 10th and 11th grades served her well. She quickly picked up the more urban style of the Langston University’s Flag Corps and has been traveling regularly to Langston since April to practice with the team.
Resigns
Andy Noll, Raytown’s Public Works Director announced his resignation as Director of Public Works last week after serving in the position since June of 2009. Noll will remain in the position through the 2014-2015 budget process which should conclude at the Board of Aldermen meeting on October 7, 2014. Noll has accepted a position as Assistant Public Works Director at the City of Liberty, Missouri.
Caring For Kids Partners With Raytown Quality Schools
The kids in Kansas City metro area are in need of help. Schools are facing overwhelming challenges with increased poverty, unemployment, homelessness, fractured families, and a lack of appropriate clothing and food, making the learning process difficult for students. At the same time, school district budgets have been cut significantly. Here are
some statistics regarding children in our city: • Out of 4,000 Kansas City children in Head Start, half have experienced more than three traumatic events. (www. pbs.org/newshour) • 67% of children in the 14 school districts of Kansas City are reading below grade level in third grade, which is a key indicator of future success since
learning beyond 3rd grade depends on reading comprehension. (Turn the Page) • 71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes. (National Principals’ Report) Caring for Kids, 9500 Wornall Road in Kansas City, believes that the churches of Kansas City can make big difference by stepping into the gap. Every
child deserves a chance to learn and become prepared for life. The organization believes that real hope for the kids of our city can be restored when churches partner in prayer and strategic collaboration in their neighborhood schools to meet real needs. Raytown’s community and church leaders are invited to a Caring for Kids/ Raytown
Schools partnership luncheon on September 11, 2014, from 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. at Graceway Church, 5460 Blue Ridge Cut-Off, Kansas City. Dr. Alan Markley, Raytown Schools Superintendent, and Dr. Anthony Moore, Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education, will share information Continued on page 8

Metro Sees Broader Employment Growth By Jeff Pinkerton KCEconomy.com It’s no secret that Kansas City’s overall employment growth has been less-than-stellar in recent years. While the region has created many jobs in certain sectors — like professional and technical services — losses in retail
and information have negated that growth to give us a small net gain. Employment industry data for July 2012 to July 2013 was recently released and provides some optimism that we might see more significant employment growth. Professional and technical services continue to lead the way
with 6,100 net new jobs. Health care and private education also continue to show solid growth, adding 3,500 jobs. We have been leaning on these industries for job creation and they have delivered. Manufacturing employment has been on a bit of a roller-coaster ride during the recovery, but it
added a very robust 3,700 jobs over the past year. Construction has also been up and down, but ultimately added 500 jobs. Perhaps most encouraging is the fact that the information sector — which has lost about half of its employment since 2003 — has started to level off, losing just 200
jobs between July 2012 to July 2013. Within this sector the losses were seen in telecommunications and printing. If this sector were simply to stabilize going forward, it would help our employment picture as it would no longer drag on our growth. The retail sector has also shown consistent
losses recently, losing 3,300 jobs over the past year. This is curious because nationally retail grew 2 percent over the last year. We will have to keep an eye on this sector to see if our data is an anomaly, or if something endemic is causing our retail sector to contract.
Are The Royals Going To Keep Coming To The Plate? By George Michaud Tuesday night, September 2, 2014, another onerun game won by the Royals keeping pace with the Detroit Tigers who also beat the Cleveland Indians 4 to 2. Both teams had won two nights in a row so the Royals were still only a half a game up in first at the end of the evening playing to a crowd of 19,445. Attendance was 35,089 on Saturday when Cleveland beat The Royal 3 to 2. The “Act of God” night, as I call it, when the game was suspended in the bottom of the 10th inning due to the storm. Attendance was at a near all-time high of near capacity of 37,903 but standing room tickets
brought the total near to 40,000 when ESPN was here nationally televising the game. Kansas City will get more of this type of attention on a national scale if the Royals continue their climb to the top. As of the end of the day Tuesday, their magic number was 25 when Salvador Perez dealt the go-ahead run with a two out RBI single in the bottom of the 8th inning giving the Royals the go-ahead run. Those of you may not be aware of what is the “magic number”. It’s the number of wins and/or combined losses needed for the Royals to get into the playoffs and win the Division Title.
Where have all the bats gone? When the Royals were on the roll winning 25 of 30 games the bats were alive. The past seven or eight games have been one run wins or losses. Great pitching by Royals hurlers but no support from the offence and it will be a tack to get into a World Series like that. I’m sure Ned Yost is giving some serious thought to batting practice in the coming week or two for the entire team. They must pick up the hitting average and runs averages in order to stay in the running because the competition is fierce in all but one of the divisions this season and especially close in the American League Cen-
tral. The Los Angeles Angels look to have it about locked up in the West. The next eight to twelve games will be pivotal in determining who will be in the playoffs and who will win the Division. Then, we can talk about the World Series after we pass that hurdle. Wednesday night, September 3, 2014, the Royals won, sweeping the Texas Rangers in that series and lucky for the Royals that the Detroit Tigers lost 0 to 7 to the Cleveland Indians. So the Royals, as of the end of the day on Wednesday are one and a half games up in first place in the American League Division Central. Alex Gordon was tonight’s hero once
again with his home run number 19 on the season knocking in two in the bottom of the 4th to a crowd of 15,771 at the Big K. Billy Butler doubled (#28) to left field and scored Salvador Perez and, in the bottom of the 7th, Terrance Gore scores on a throwing error by catcher Tomas Telis with Mike Moustakas batting making it a 4 to 1 win. Texas’ only run scored was off Royals relief pitcher Louis Coleman when Ryan Rua singled to center field sending home Elvis Andrus. The Royals get a rest Thursday and the New York Yankees come to town for a three-game series followed by the Detroit Tigers. Expect over-
flow crowds during that home stand. So get your tickets early. This could be the pivotal moment in Royals history that may lead us down the road to our next World Series. I’m a positive thinking person and sure would love to see Kansas City enjoy a winning season. Go Royals. They are entertaining us royally this season, a season to remember, regardless. Happy baseball once again. Support your local team. They are working hard for you, extra hard this season. Now that their magic number is down even further, the excitement is growing.

Life Lessons Learned In 49 Years
Jason Offutt I turned 49 this summer and I’m not happy about it. Forty-nine. Seriously? Forty-nine? That’s grandparent age, not the parent of a second grader age. Sure, 49 doesn’t seem old to people who are older than I am, but 49 was the average life expectancy of the American male in 1902. That makes me sweat, just a little. I turned 49 at 2:40 a.m. and, as every anniversary of my birth, I was asleep. I was wide awake 49 years ago on that day, and screaming bloody hell. Birth is unnecessarily cruel. It forces a baby from a warm, familiar place into someplace cold where the baby is wet, disoriented and covered in something sticky. That happened to me a lot in college. What am I supposed to do with 49? Sure, I’ve experienced a lot in my life, quite a bit of it really stupid, but I’ve also learned a few things, like the state capitols, the multiplication tables, and enough about electronics that I once repaired a television remote control with a staple and the spring from a biro. Some of this knowledge I should probably share: • Read. Read for entertainment, read for knowledge, read the backs of shampoo bottles while sitting on the toilet. It doesn’t matter, just read. • Luck is more important than education, talent, or the ability to form a coherent sentence. However, luck runs out. Education, talent, and proper grammar do not. • No one thinks their musical taste is bad. Turn down your damn stereo anyway. • The weak-kneed curse of political correctness was created by two types
of people: 1) those with no sense of humor, and 2) those without the cajonés to tell them so. • Eat something green every day. Jell-O doesn’t count. • Also, walk every day, aside from trips to the refrigerator. • Sometimes the classics suck. • Get a job and take pride in it. I don’t care if you’re shoveling hog manure (which I did plenty), or massaging Swedish supermodels (which I did not), do it right. • Money itself doesn’t make you happy, but it allows you the breathing room to find out what does. Probably. I’ll let you know if I find out. • Mary Ann was the hot one. • Collecting things only makes you dust. • If a small child waves at you, always wave back. It will help shape their opinion of life. • Don’t be afraid to laugh at fart jokes. • Sadly enough, when you are at your most desperate, you can only truly count on yourself. • The Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards actually died in 1978 and was replaced by advanced Disney Animatronics. • At some point in the day everyone’s an idiot. • Don’t worry about things you can’t control. • It’s much easier to be if your head’s not filled with silly stuff like details. Look at the Big Picture and cut it into portions you can handle. Details make the Big Picture look impossible. • No matter what the question, “We’ve always done it that way” is the wrong answer. • The only question that really matters is “why?” • And, most importantly, always be nice to your mom. Some people think I haven’t learned anything. 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.
JOHNNY CARSON

I remember the first day I met STAN IRWIN. The event was a publicity party being held in honor of ANN MARGARET and DOC SEVERINSON in the BLUE ROOM of THE TROPICANA HOTEL, hosted by, then Vice President, Entertainment Director, ALAN LEE. I was working in the Entertainment Department starting out. I was young, eager and had one of my acts by the name of LLOYD LINDROTH performing in the big lounge. LINDROTH was dubbed “THE LIBERACE OF THE HARP” by Variety Magazine and he dressed like him. A unique attraction for all of Las Vegas. In fact, a number of years earlier, Stan Irwin had booked Lindroth into THE SAHARA HOTEL, and others on the strip but I didn’t know this at the time. I wanted to meet Mr. Irwin in person since I knew that JOHNNY CARSON’S manager was going to be at that Ann Margaret party, so, Allen Lee’s secretary (Jeannie) told me to “just go up to him and introduce yourself, he doesn’t bite.” I asked her if she knew him person-
ally and she said she did. I was thinking to myself, well, that would be my way and excuse for introducing myself to him. When I did, I met a very distinguished, extremely well dressed man about fifty and because of JOHNNY CARSON and other stars Stan Irwin handled were so big in those days, I was scared to death. But, to my surprise, IRWIN was as cordial, refreshing, kind and generous with his time as I could have ever asked for. He even said we could meet there in the lounge one evening and he would take a peek at my act. He took the time to come over from the Sahara after JOHNNY CARSON’S show to see my act LLOYD LINDROTH at the Tropicana. We visited for hours. What a pleasure and what a conversation we had about show-biz, managing entertainers, booking, working with new talents, etc. From that day forward from about 1971 to today, STAN IRWIN has become my best friend and my mentor. I could never thank him enough for all his dedication of time helping me start out my own talent agency in Burbank, CA, which I had for nearly three decades. Even to this day, Stan and I talk on the phone at least once every two weeks and still conduct business at his young 96 years. Stan Irwin is as alert and healthy as can be, and the same STAN I met forty years ago when I was about 24. When I needed the Buddy Rich Orchestra for a venue I was working

the New York Yankees for $2.8 million with two other partners. In October of 1947, he bought out McPhail, one of the three partners, leaving Webb and Topping who owned the Yankees through 1964, selling an 80% stake to CBS for $11.2 million. Today, that wouldn’t even pay for the parking facilities at the new Yankee Stadium. Yankee’s today have an estimated worth of $3.3 billion dollars (with a B). Times have sure changed. Mostly due to a team’s worth, concessions, parking, merchandising rights, the stadium itself and tremendous broadcasting rights. The Kansas City Royals are es-
timated to be worth today at $550 million. Quite the career that developed for this youngster who started out as a stand-up comic in Vaudeville to “The Toastmaster General” of Las Vegas. Irwin maintained his personal office for just his clients on Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills and 95% of the time he commuted to Las Vegas, personally driving his little Mercedes Roadster unless he was riding along with one of his stars in a limousine. Very seldom would Irwin fly unless it was coast to coast. As he says, “it gave me time to think, to create and to write.” And, create, he did.

Speaking of writing, Irwin has written a few hit songs himself for LOUIS PRIMA and KEELY SMITH among others and a special poem titled “What God Looks like to me” which he wrote for his son in 1952. FRANK SINATRA, a close friend, later recorded it on one of his “Trilogy Albums” with Don Costa arranging. I now own the poem and next week I hope to publish it here in the Raytown Eagle for all of you to enjoy. It’s truly a masterpiece. The famed harpist LLOYD LINDROTH also did an album titled by the same name with a collection of inspirational instrumentals on it.

Location, Location, Location For Samurai On 40 Highway, Has Worked Out Fine
By George Michaud
I can remember back in the 1970’s when the Hilton Hotel International in Las Vegas featured the renowned Benihana Restaurant and all over Las Vegas you would see the famous photo of that Japanese Chef holding those knives, chopping away at a succulent steak or chopping up chicken. Now in their 50th Anniversary year the closest one is 318 miles away in North Little Rock, Arkansas, which, incidentally, I’ve been to and it is fabulous. This was first introduction to this type of cooking and food preparation. In Raytown, we are fortunate enough to have very close the Samurai Chef Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar on 40 Highway. I tried it last Monday after a hectic Labor Day. Got there pretty late around 8:45 p.m. They usually close around 9:00 p.m. Jason and Vicky Pi are the owners and I must say that this husband and wife team really works well together. Jason takes care of the food and

I ordered the Filet and Chicken and my guest ordered the Scallops and Shrimp so I could get a taste of it all. We even ordered a side of Tempura, which was cooked by Jason and was delightfully done to perfection. The sauce

Jeffrey did a bang-up job on the fried rice with eggs garnished with a sauce. Wow, is that ever so good. All in all, Samurai truly is a special place to dine. You can count on cleanliness, freshness of the seafood and service not to be outdone by anyone. I recommend you try it the next time you want to dine out and get your money’s worth. I must have taken home enough food to feed on for three more days.

scallops and the shrimp both tasted as though they were just pulled out of the Atlantic Ocean. That’s Jason’s secret. He knows how to buy and how to prepare, everything kept at the correct temperatures for safety and freshness. Jeffrey showed us a bit of flare with his artistry with the knives as he carved and chopped everything with speed and accuracy, a delight to watch. Very entertaining. He’s going to be tops in his field. I also had the mushroom soup and salad with Jason’s recipe which is dynamite with carrots, celery, green onions and dressing with a flavor leaving you wanting for more.
