Miracle Is The Royals’ First Name! The Miracle Kansas City Royals Going To 2014 World Series after a 29-Year Drought
By George Michaud Whatever rest the Royals and the Orioles got during their days off before the start of the ALCS games seems to have affected Baltimore in a big way. It’s as though they forgot how to play baseball the way they played the entire series. Very much unlike the stats from the 2014 regular season for the Orioles with the most home runs during regular season. You’ve all heard the entire list for weeks now. The Royals just kept up and at it with every game as though fate was in their hands and nothing but nothing was going to stop them. That’s how it went for four games straight. Game after game one could see the frustration in the face and eyes of Orioles manager, Buck Showalter, in his fifth season as Orioles manager. Showalter is currently contracted to be their manager through 2018 and he did have a strong team throughout the 2014 season. However, as known by all, anything can happen in baseball. No one knows that better than the entire Orioles team and fans after the stunning sweep by The Royals. The Miracle Kansas City Royals proved that, without a doubt,
anything can happen in this game. Who would have believed the Royals would sweep all four games in this year’s ALCS to get that crown? Who would have believed back during the AllStar break that the Royals would even be in the playoffs? Royals went from 6 ½ games behind Detroit Tigers to first place in the AL Central and things went down afterwards losing 18 of 27. The Red Sox swept the Royals in bean town in a three-game series before the break and that was probably the lowest point in the 2014 season. Everyone talked about how few home runs the Royals had, least of all teams in the MLB, two years in a row. But when they got their berth in the Wild Card to go one game up against the Oakland A’s, Royals fans began to get excited because there was a glimmer of hope for a playoff spot. With that one won, then came their chance to go up against the California Angels for the ALCS. Miracles now seemed to be in the cards. After that title won, fans were really revved up for the ALCS. Word spread around Kansas City, around LA, around the country that here comes a team that’s sprouting up from the
The Four Points By Sheraton showing their Royal support shadows creating a stir. Of course now, after Wednesday’s game four sweep of the Orioles for the crown to earn their spot in the World Series has the entire country talking about the Kansas City Royals. I should say the Miracle Kansas City Royals because that’s what they have become. A four-game sweep of the Orioles after beating the Angels? This is a group of guys who are working together as a “team” without a doubt. Their confidence level is sky-high and it shows on their faces, with their
action on the field and lookout to whomever wins The NLCS. The Royals team is ready for anyone they’ll have to face next. They are champs now. If it’s St. Louis, then we would be looking at another repeat of 1985. An I-70 World Series. And, if The San Francisco Giants win it then we are looking at the big guys against the underdog for 29 years. Whatever the outcome of the World Series, we are extremely proud of our Kansas City Royals this season because they are our
team and fans all over are excited to the point that prices for tickets for the World Series are already nearing $2,000. If one of our fans wants to be there, they will pay it to see history in the making live and in person right at here at Kauffman Stadium. I wouldn’t doubt that we’ll see tickets on eBay for upwards to $4,500. Why not? This is the town with the team that creates Miracles! Let’s keep the story going Royals. Let’s take the big one for 2014. It’s your destiny.
KC Chiefs Offensive Friday Night Lights Linemen Help First Downs For Down Syndrome
Photos By R.C. Jones Despite a little rain and a 35-0 shutout, the Raytown Bluejays’ game last Friday night was packed with excitement
D’Andra Haywood, a 7th grader at Raytown Middle School, was invited by the First Downs for Down Syndrome organization to a lunch at Raytown Kentucky Fried Members of the Kansas City Chiefs offensive line pitched in to help out charity First Downs for Down Syndrome kick off their fundraising drive at local Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants that continues into November. The Lineman showed up at the Raytown KFC on Octo-
ber 14, 2014, where D’Andra Haywood, a 7th grader at Raytown Middle School, was invited to lunch by First Down for Down Syndrome. Her mother, Leilani, said, “She had a blast visiting with them”. First Downs for Down Syndrome is a non-profit that
subsists entirely on donations, and works to raise money for Downs syndrome organizations, raise awareness of downs syndrome, and create positive images of those with downs syndrome. They have raised over $5.5 million since 1992 and are the charity of choice for the Chiefs’ O-line.
Jaylee Taylor and Tony, her father move in for the coin toss. Jaylee, a first grader at Blue Ridge Elementary was this year’s “Downs for Down’s” honorary captain for the Bluejays at Friday night’s game on October 10. She is the daughter of Tony and Kim Taylor. The football team for years has sponsored the Downs for Down’s program and invite a child with Down’s Syndrome, along with their parents, to be an honorary captains for the game.

By Brianna Bauer Raytown South High School The Blue Springs High Wildcats hosted the Raytown South High Cardinals for a long awaited soccer match-up. Cardinals head coach, Dan Porter explained, “This match-up is a battle of the big school versus the small school.” Whitney Wright, Cardinals Assistant coach said for preparation for this matchup, “The whole season has been a preparation for a match-up versus this team.” Both coaches stated that goalkeeper Ryan Peters would be a player to watch, making sure he blocked important shots, and Alex Landaverde, who is the Cardinals’ chance to score.

there’s the Back 4, as Coach Porter refers to Isaac Barkley, Curtis Mahl, Daniel Dodd, and Abdusattor Isakov. The game was for sure a battle from start to finish, with the Blue Springs Wildcats dominating the Cardinals 3-0. After the devastating lost, defensemen Curtis Mahl commented on how he felt about the game as a whole, “We could’ve done a lot better. We fell apart as a team.” Striker and captain Alex Landaverde added on, “There are things we have to work on, and it needs to be a team effort.” When asked what he would change about the game, Goalkeeper and captain Ryan Peters stated, “The goals, not letting them get
as many as they did.” Landaverde added, stating, “We needed to defend the box better.” Outside midfielder Shane Tenorio stated, “We need to take this game and learn from our mistakes, and improve on those mistakes to propel us as the regular season comes to an end.” Mahl added, “We needed to play more as a team, rather than as individuals.” Peters also stated, “We’ll use this as an example to control our defense as we head into the last few games.” The Cardinals were back in action on Tuesday, October 14, to take on the Platte County High Pirates in a Conference match-up.

Jackson County To Save Taxpayers $32 Million By Refinancing Truman Sports Complex Bonds In order to take advantage of lower interest rates, Jackson County is refinancing up to $360 Million in bonds that were issued in 2006 for renovations at the Truman Sports Complex. The move will save approximately $32 Million
in interest, which will be put back into the long term maintenance, upkeep and renovation of the facilities. “The timing couldn’t be more perfect, given the excitement surrounding our teams, especially the postseason play of the Royals,”
said County Executive Mike Sanders. The refinancing is possible due to the high quality of Jackson County’s credit rating with Moody’s. In 2011, the county’s underlying credit rating was reaffirmed, due to strong fi-
Metro Health Departments And Hospitals Prepared To Handle Infectious Diseases
If an infectious disease like Ebola comes to Kansas City, metro health departments and hospitals are prepared to handle it. Health departments on both sides of the state line have disease investigation processes in place to assist area hospitals with suspected or confirmed cases of Ebola. These same hospitals also have the proper isolation guidelines and equipment to handle a patient who might have Ebola. “Whenever a disease outbreak takes place, hospitals work to prevent the spread of infection from those currently being treated, and teams at area health departments conduct extensive investigations to determine who has been in contact with the infected person and the degree of contact,” said Lougene Marsh, director of the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment. “Our goal is to reach those who may have been exposed and connect them with care that will help them avoid spreading it to others.” These efforts by area health departments and hospitals resulted in the containment of the recent outbreak of measles, one of the most
contagious known illnesses. “The great, ongoing relationship between our area hospitals and health departments has been demonstrated repeatedly over the years and especially in recent months with measles and Enterovirus D68,” said Lee Norman, M.D., chief medical officer for The University of Kansas Hospital. “Constant communication and collaboration, both locally and with our state health departments and CDC, are vital to assure the health and safety of the public in these situations.” Unlike some of the more highly contagious diseases like influenza, measles and enteroviruses, Ebola is only transmitted by direct contact with blood or bodily fluids from a person who is sick with Ebola, objects (like needles and syringes) that have been contaminated with the virus, or infected animals. Ebola is not transmitted through the air, water or food. Ebola symptoms may include fever greater than 101.5 degrees Fahrenheit, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal (stomach) pain, and unexplained hem-
orrhage (bleeding or bruising). Healthcare providers caring for Ebola patients and the family and friends in close contact with Ebola patients are at the highest risk of getting sick because they may come in contact with infected blood or body fluids of sick patients. Local health departments urge hospitals, physician offices, urgent care clinics, retail pharmacy clinics and other health care providers to be vigilant about asking for travel history from patients that present with Ebola symptoms. Hospitals and health care providers should follow their state and/or local health department procedures for notification and Ebola testing requests if they suspect a case. “As long as the outbreak continues in West Africa, asking for patient travel history should be a standard question during every patient assessment,” said Dr. Norman. More information about Ebola symptoms and prevention tips can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ ebola/.
nancial outlook. That rating, as well as the reaffirmation of this bond refinancing this month, played a role in obtaining a lower interest rate on the bonds. “We’re proud to be able to save the taxpayers millions of dollars,” said Coun-
ty Executive Sanders. “This will ensure that we can properly maintain these taxpayer assets and give our teams the support they need to remain competitive.” Jackson County owns Kauffman and Arrowhead Stadiums and leases the
facilities back to the Royals and Chiefs. The Jackson County Sports Authority oversees operations of the Truman Sports Complex. The refinancing will result in no change in the lease between the County, the Teams and the Sports Authority.

A threat is growing. I see it in newspaper headlines scattered across months. One here, one there. Not enough news to strike the alarm bells just yet, but the danger is coming. That danger is robots. Ever since the Soviet Union deployed remotecontrolled tanks (the TT-26 teletank) in World War II, the thought of robotic weapons rolling through enemy territory mowing down everything they see has gotten generals a bit drunk. The United States Army predicts that one quarter of its military force will be replaced by combat robots by 2030. Are you following me here? Robots. Robots with guns. The number of surveillance drones flying over the United States is expected to hit 30,000 by 2020, and Google is trying to perfect a car that will drive by itself. Am I the only one a little nervous? What sounded like science fiction 30 years ago is happening now. And why did it sound like science fiction 30 years ago? Because it was science fiction 30 years ago. Exactly 30 years ago. James Cameron’s “The Terminator” came out in 1984. “The Terminator” is a little story about a killer robot sent to the past to ensure the existence of a highly advanced artificial intelligence global defense system called Skynet. In the real world, the United States Department of Defense’s DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) is trying to build just that. It’s offering a $2 million prize in the Cyber Grand Challenge to the person or persons who develop the same type of system

that, in director James Cameron’s world, saw humanity as a threat and began wiping us off the planet. Don’t these people watch movies? At least the U.N. is talking sense (this is the first, and last time I will ever make that statement). The U.N.’s Representative for Disarmament Angela Kane recently proposed banning combat robots. “Any weapon of war is terrible, and if you can launch this without human intervention, I think it’s even worse,” she told the U.K.’s Telegraph in August. “It becomes a faceless war and I think that’s really terrible and so to my mind I think it should be outlawed “ Good for her. Researchers at Bristol’s University of the West of England are attempting to avoid this robotic takeover with the Asimov Robot, named after science fiction author Isaac Asimov who penned robotics laws. The first being “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.” Trouble is, the Asimov Robot doesn’t work. The robot was programmed to prevent humans (robots it thought were humans) from falling into a hole. In more than half the experiments, it let the “human” fall in, roboticist Alan Winfield told Yahoo! News. “It was a bit unexpected,” Winfield says. “There was clearly time to save at least one robot, but it just left them half the time. It stood there, and failed to rescue either, whereas there was clearly time to save at least one.” Hmm. Maybe the robot did that on purpose. See? The war against humanity has already begun.

families who are struggling financially. REAP will partner with the Raytown Community
Playing a harp and having the desire to be a star with the instrument, competing with the best of the best in showbiz was not the easiest thing to do for LLOYD LINDROTH. After the age of 13, for the next ten years were difficult years of his life. Last week we covered his struggles after the loss of his parents, living in his harp teacher’s basement and earning his lessons, and through his army years, getting to the White House, performing on all the top TV shows of the day and winding up later in Detroit, Michigan, where he and I met when he cashed his check at the bank that I managed. Up to that point, Lindroth was finding his way climbing to the top but his daily responsibilities of rehearsing and keeping a band together to travel all over the USA was no easy task. Most of his time was spent getting the bookings and keeping everyone working, let alone working on his own public relations, which is not a good thing for a performer to do. There’s nothing like a third person and/or a team working together to achieve the same business goals. After Lindroth invited myself and my bank staff to see him perform, we had several meetings and ultimately I couldn’t resist taking on a major change in my life by giving up my career at the bank where I was doing so well and entering the world of show-business. Take the word show out of that and it is truly a business, only with a few tantamount changes one would not experience in running a restaurant, or any local business. I jumped right in, feet first, so to speak, and gave my notice of three months to the bank. They offered me a position to be supervisor over twenty-six of their branches but I turned it down and after three months I was on the road to begin my new career into the unknown. Interfaith Alliance to make this goal a reality. As the cold winter months set in, most people start setting up holiday decorations, wrapping presents for their children, and stocking their cabinets with food for their family feasts. However, many families in the Raytown area are simply wondering how to keep their gas and lights
Learning from a pro like Lindroth helped immensely. I was a “roadie”, the light man for the show, the booking agent, and public relations person. The hardest part was to get the group booked, keep it booked up so that the band wouldn’t lose faith and leave for another better paying job. I handled the bookkeeping by paying them and keeping records, doing tax returns, etc., for years. Our first trip out of Detroit was to Saginaw, Michigan, at a place called “The High Life Inn”. A wonderful, family owned supper club that presented Las Vegas shows all the time. They really appreciated Lindroth and this engagement was his third or fourth visit. From Saginaw to Walla Walla, Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma to Billings, Montana; Fargo, North Dakota; Minneapolis, Denver, Palm Spring, Los Angeles, Reno, Lake Tahoe to Sarasota and Boca Raton, Florida then back up to St. Paul, Minnesota, to cross the rugged Rocky Mountains to Seattle then spending time in Las Vegas at the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. I finally wound up working for the Tropicana as Entertainment Director for a short time. I decided to fulfill my destiny and open my own talent agency in Burbank, California. Lindroth was booked into Anchorage, Alaska, for a special engagement that offered him three times the money to stay on but we had other plans. A visionary and top hotel general manager/genius contacted me about flying in to see Lindroth’s act. I met him in Tucson, Arizona, where Lindroth was performing for dinner. Jack Vaughan already knew of Lindroth’s act through the grapevine and knew it was the perfect act for his soon to open “Conservatory” at the new and renovated Opryland Hotel in 1982. Vaughan offered to pay my expenses to come see what he was building and where I might suggest Lloyd perform. Our meeting was a successful, meaningful one that wound up with a contract. After agreeing on an initial engagement of twelve weeks with an option for an additional 26 weeks at a substantially higher salary, Lindroth set out for Nashville to perform for country folk. I had my doubts and told Lindroth so but he was excited and loved the challenge. Stan Irwin told Lindroth to not play so technically and sim-

Producer’s Corner continued from page 4 plify his arrangements to appeal more to that crowd. Lindroth did just that and more. No other harpist had ever developed a country twang to his foot pedaling which uses seven pedals to change to sharps and flats like the black keys on a piano. When Vaughan called and said “I definitely wish to pick up Lloyd’s option on the contract and can we extend that to a year instead of 26 weeks”? that was an indication that Lindroth found his niche in the music business.

socks off here at Opryland”. The rest is history. Lindroth was the first harpist to appear on the Grand Ole Opry several times because “The King of Country Music” and host ROY ACUFF really liked Lindroth and his harp. Lindroth recorded the first and only country album in a professional studio, produced by the famous Buddy Killen of “Tree Publishing” titled “Welcome to My World”. The crowds at the Opryland Hotel were numbering up to 5000 a night, twice a night, for his concerts. There were standing ovations at every performance. Vaughan was happy. It was a win-win engagement for everyone involved

The more TV appearances Lindroth did, the more Vaughan was guaranteed 100% occupancy at his hotel, which by now was 2800 rooms, suites with a couple million square feet of convention space - the largest hotel outside of Las Vegas. Proof positive that Jack Vaughan was the visionary I had thought and proof to his boss, Mr. Edward Gaylord, who owned all of Opryland, that he knew what he was doing when everyone else said “a harp? Who are you bringing in for the grand opening?” Every step was a tremendous success, even going so far as spending over one million dollars on

It was a sight to behold in the new “Cascades” addition to the hotel that many of you may have seen when visiting Opryland between 1983 and 1994. I’m going to end this three-part series on LLOYD LINDROTH to move on to the life and times of the famous Pearl Bailey (Pearlie Mae) of “Hello Dolly” fame as she was such a special person. For those of you who remember Pearl, I know you’ll enjoy it next week. Becoming the most famous harpist in history,
Lindroth achieved what he wished to do. “I want to be able to play my harp for the guy next door and let them know they can have fun with the harp,” he told a reporter for Variety magazine. Proof again, that if you set your mind to achieve in life, you can with hard work, tenacity and belief in what you are and do. Lindroth’s music can still be found at www.harplandmusic.com and soon there will be videos of his past concerts at Opryland. Thank you for indulging in the story of one man’s choices in the difficult music industry and how he “made it”. It wasn’t easy, but is anything easy that’s worthwhile?
Stay happy and see you next week in “The Producer’s Corner” when we talk about the fabulous life of Pearl Bailey and how Stan Irwin became her manager for nearly four decades. George Michaud was a talent agent/manager in Burbank, California for nearly four decades with his own talent agency (GMA). Michaud booked hundreds of actresses and actors/ musicians, major concerts around the world with such names as Ray Charles, B. B. King, Manhattan Transfer, Johnny Carson, Buddy Hackett, Don Rickles, Earth Wind and Fire and countless others.

Carrie A. (Clauson) PlattnerSnyder Carrie A. (Clauson) Plattner-Snyder, Our beloved Amazonian princess has gone on to the next realm to be our guiding light and guardian angel when we begin our final journeys to the heart of Creation. Carrie was the cherished life partner of Bill, the solid rock for her daughter, Alexandra (“Aly”), and the compassionate daughter, sister, aunt and grand- aunt for the rest of her family. Born to Shirley A. Doss and the late Robert Dean Clauson, she was the epitomy of the song, Unforgettable, both in her incredible beauty as well as her loving heart. In recent years, Carrie was most proud of her accomplishments as an executive assistant for the County Executive’s Office at the Jackson County Courthouse, being a good friend to her daughter, Aly, and furthering Bill’s career as a government attorney. She helped a lot of people with problems and she is still missed by her superiors and co-workers at the Courthouse. Carrie was known for being well-read, a student of the arts, and for her culinary skills and home management. She was quick- witted, funny and sarcastic in such a way that you often didn’t know she had tagged you. She was a good Democrat and although she did not understand baseball or football, she was an ardent supporter of Bill’s interest in the Royals and Chiefs. She encouraged Bill in his acceptance of the responsibilities of many Masonic offices, both in Missouri and nationally. She was a ball of fire, a comet streaking through our lives, bringing joy to our hearts in life and great sadness as she embarked. She always treasured her many friends but ill health in the past three
patrons that they have accumulated over four decades.
years was an obstacle to both the continuing maintenance of friendships as well as her career. Once health became an issue, she devoted herself to travel to Hawaii, Arizona, New Mexico, California, and Florida locations with Bill and Aly for as long as she was able. She never made it to New York, Paris or London in life but she knew that her ashes would be carried there by Aly. Carrie attended Raytown High School and Central Missouri University when it was CMSU. She had a marriage to a good man, Christopher Plattner, but when that relationship ended, she invested herself in her daughter, Aly. She claimed that at the moment she was introduced to Bill at the Courthouse, she knew she had found her “splitapart”, her soul mate, and someone who was worthy of being Aly’s step-father. She always claimed it was love at first sight and, in due time, she asked Bill “when are you going to take me out?” Carrie made Bill a part of her family, and she made Bill’s family and friends a part of her family. Somehow, she knew things about Bill’s late father, William O. Snyder that had to come from a psychic connection with him. Carrie has left many to grieve who will remember her with a smile and a prayer throughout the succeeding years. Other survivors in the family include: Her mother, Shirley A. (Clauson/ Doss) Johnson, her stepfather, Michael Johnson, of Shawnee, KS, her siblings,

“Better heart, brain, and joint benefits WITHOUT the fishy after taste!”
Say Goodbye to Bad Cholesterol, Joint Pain, Mood Swings, & Brain Fog in 30 Days or Less!
Say the ‘MaGiC WorD’ & reCeive a Box oF thiS CLiniCaLLy teSteD ForMuLa - Free! ‘Super Human’ Fish Oil! Ivy league physicians affiliated with Yale University believe their patented 4:1 ratio of EPA/DHA omega-3s are the future of fattyacid therapy and deliver almost ‘super human’ results. Prevention Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Omax3 ® Ultra Pure TM , have decided to giveaway 1,000 boxes in a massive initiative to get consumers to try it. “We believe one dose of this high performance 1.5g of omega-3 will change your opinion of fish oil with the dramatic results,” says Terry Tormey, CEO of Prevention Pharmaceuticals. Ultra Pure Formula Equals Safety Some supplements may contain more than just omega-3. And some of that "extra" content you could do without, such as saturated fats, including unwanted omega-6 fatty acids, and toxins like mercury, lead, and PCBs commonly found in fish.
Freezer Test Proves Purity Omax3® was shown in lab tests to be 91% pure, free of bad fats and toxins. You can prove this by freezing your own fish oil. Put a pill of your store bought brand of omega3 in the freezer overnight. Then put Omax3® Ultra PureTM in the freezer overnight. The difference is clear. The store bought brand will be cloudy, even a solid white. This is caused by the bad fats and toxins solidifying, which your body doesn’t need. Omax3 ® will remain clear, which equals safety and effectiveness. Fewer Pills Better Results The patented delivery system gives you 1.5g per serving in just two easy to swallow liquid gel capsules, compared to the 6-12 you would need to take of a store bought formula. This means fewer pills equals greater results, you can feel. Pharmaceutical Strength You now get the extreme health benefits you deserve and at the lowest possible price and without the fish burps!
If you’re worried about cholesterol, painful joints, poor memory, or mood swings, this formula will help or you don’t pay for it. Doctor Recommended “As a neurosurgeon I stand behind the breakthrough of the 4:1 ratio of EPA/DHA that makes up Omax3®. It’s simply the most effective. The pharmaceutically-activated molecule maximizes absorption. Personally, I use Omax3® to keep my joints pain free as I still run marathons at age 74. I notice the mental boost. It’s your best anti-aging weapon because it protects your heart, brain, and joints all in one pill.”
Say THE magic wORDS & iT’S FREE! Say: “No fish burps” and you can try Omax3® FREE! (just cover shipping fee) Free Book for readers of this paper! With your first order of the Risk Free Supply you’ll receive an absolutely free copy of Dr. Maroon’s book, Fish Oil – The Natural AntiInflammatory. (a $19.95 value) Free Vitamin D, Too!
