South Junior Conducts Performance Of His Composition The musicians of the Raytown South High School Symphony Orchestra had the rare experience of performing a composition written by one of their peers at a concert on October 14, 2014, in their high school auditorium. And junior, Isaac Barkley, had the rare opportunity to conduct the performance of his own piece entitled, “The Journey”.
Barkley appreciates orchestra teacher, Mrs. Suzannah Smith, for “allowing him the privilege to conduct his piece of music at the
concert.” Smith is happy that a student’s knowledge of music and love of music inspires composition. “Isaac has love and talent for orchestration and we are happy to share this experience with the audience,” Smith said. “His love of music goes beyond just orchestra class. Since freshmen year, Isaac has enjoyed composing music at home with music software.” The orchestra performed his first orchestral composition, “Corazon de Fuego”, during his freshmen year. “The hardest part of writing music is to come up with that first small idea. Once I get that idea, I have to get it down on paper or on a recording, before I forget it. It’s nothing forced. Then, that idea expands with more ideas and emotions,” Barkley said. Barkley plays piano for the RSHS Jazz Band, violin for orchestra, and went to KC Metro All District String Orchestra last year. Isaac’s proud parents are Damon and Melissa Barkley. An mp3 of Barkley’s “Corazon de Fuego” will be included in this article when we post it on RaytownEagle.com.

Xtreme Wrestling Center (XWC) Opens In Raytown Center offers classes with one overriding objective: ‘We are here to make warriors’
Two local professional wrestlers and a Marine Corps combat veteran launched the Xtreme Wrestling Center (XWC), a professional wrestling training school
including Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Illinois. They’re joined by Jordan “Smiley” Rogers who was stationed in Ramadi during the Iraq War and is acting as General Man-
The XWC offers a series of classes each week in a safe and controlled environment, including beginner and advanced training sessions, as well as time devot-
the first step in that transformation. If you’re ready to learn to wrestle, and willing to mold yourself, we are here to make warriors.”
Submission instruction with trainer serving the entire Kansas City metro area, right here in Raytown at 11513 E. 63rd Street in the Woodson Village Shopping Center. The name of the training center was inspired by Extreme Wrestling Corporation (EWC), an internet roleplay efederation started in March 1997 and should not be confused with Eierman Extreme Wrestling Academy, a collegiate training center also in Raytown. Co-founders David Cattin and Adam Houck (“Jude Vice”) are 10-year veterans of the wrestling circuits throughout the Midwest,
ager of XWC. Cattin and Houck will serve as trainers at the school along with fellow industry veteran Kyle King. “We want to train the next generation of Professional Wrestlers right here in Raytown,” said Rogers. “Kansas City has a wealth of athletic and creative talent. They just need some guidance and direction to make it in this industry. Most people who are interested in wrestling don’t know where to start. We give them the head start the rest of us wish we’d had at the beginning of our careers,” said Head Trainer David Cattin.
ed to character development and interview work. The minimum age requirement is 16. Although no maximum age is set, each trainee candidate must go through a rigorous application process to assure safety and gauge skillset. Evaluations are $30 and scheduled by appointment only. Rogers reports that the center already has ten trainees ranging from 21 years to 30 years of age. “There are many paths on the road to success, but not everyone will make a warrior of you,” Houck said. “The XWC was founded to help each student take
Beginner Classes: The classes begin by focusing on learning to navigate the ring properly and safely, as well as bumps, slams, holds, takedowns, and basic chain grappling. Trainees also learn the pacing and general flow of a match, from the first lock up to the final three count. Knowing when to use a move is just as important as what move to use, and our beginner classes focus on developing both the mind and body of a wrestler. Character Classes: At least one day each week will be devoted to building your in-ring persona.
Trainees work on cutting interview segments in front of a camera, live microphone work, and thinking like the character they’ll become. Trainees break down the move sets they are learning and how to incorporate those moves into their character. Advanced Classes: Once a week, head trainer David Cattin hosts a training session for those
actively competing in the professional wrestling circuits. This class focuses more on conditioning, spot calling, match direction and the “Ring General” mentality. Each week, there is a specific goal with the end result being a better and smarter worker for their weekend matches. Referee Classes: Once a week, the XWC hosts a practice dedicated to match officials and referees. This class focuses primarily on learning the fundamental rules of professional wrestling, positioning, selling the match and insuring the workers safety. Our referee trainees work with dedicated trainer and wrestler Jude Vice, as well as being immersed into wrestling training sessions so they can learn to move and work together right along with the wrestling trainees as their skills develop. Our referee students are dynamic, crucial players on the pro wrestling stage and learn the skills needed to command the authority of the ring.

Royals Tie Up World Series Going Into Game 3 At San Francisco By George Michaud The Miracle Royals did it again Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium in front of some 40,450 plus enthusiastic fans in the sea of blue and not a single seat available right to the end when closer Greg Holland struck out the side in the top of the 9th with only a single off of one of the Giants hitters. Billy Butler started the fireworks inning in the bottom of the 6th with a single that
brought home The Royals got a 3 to 2 lead. Then, Salvador Perez two run homer set off the temper of Giant’s reliever Hunter Strickland but this cooled down fast after the benches cleared and umpires did what umpires do. Peavy was pitching as he always has in the past for the Red Sox and San Diego Padres but never having been able to get through to the 6th inning of any post season game ever. He was predictable in my mind and did just
as I expected, leaving the game with two on and no one out after giving up only two runs through five. That’s about what he does always but in Wednesday’s game Peavy was rather lucky that the Royals didn’t hit him for another four or five runs before he left. The best defensive play of the series so far was Hosmer’s leap to the right to catch Gregor Blanco’s grounder which could have got away but Hosmer’s
speedy, sliding move to the left right away to touch the first base bag had him out before he got there. A tremendous defensive play by Hosmer. Herrera, Davis and Holland, as usual did their spectacular job of closing the game out in Royal style, not allowing another run to the opponents. With the World Series tied up 1-1 going into tonight’s game three in San Francisco, The Royals are going to at-
tempt more “Miracles” with starting pitcher Guthrie taking the mound and a 2 to 1 series lead after tonight’s game sounds really good to me. Go Royals and come back home to The Big K and finish them off here. There won’t be enough champagne in all of Kansas City to go around for the celebration. WORTH NOTING: Billy Butler tied George Bret’s 1985 World Series record of base hits in one game and
with Butler’s reign as DH for The Royals may come to an end after this season. I feel that it is not likely that owner’s will pick up his option of $12.5 million for 2015 and beyond. However, as we all know, anything can happen in baseball. What an exciting season of baseball our team has given us in 2014. Certainly one to remember for generations. Can’t wait for their return home from The Bay area of San Francisco.
Gregory Blvd. To Close At MO 350 Highway Next Monday
The Missouri Department of Transportation has announced that its continuing work on Missouri Route 350 will require the closure of the intersection with Gregory Blvd. on Monday night October 27, 2014. The closure will only impact the intersection with MO 350
Hwy. What that means is that from about 8:00 p.m. on Monday night (10/27/2014) through about 6:00 a.m. the next morning, all traffic approaching the highway on Gregory Blvd. will be directed to make a right turn onto MO 350. Traffic will not be allowed to cross MO 350
on Gregory Blvd. at all that night. It is only expected to last that one night. Alternates: Westbound: If you are going west on Gregory (away from Raytown Rd.), you will be directed to turn right onto westbound MO 350 in front of Walgreen’s. At the next
Raytown High Debate Squad Ranks Nationally The Debate and Forensics squad at Raytown High was notified by the National Speech and Debate Association that the team has once again been ranked among the top 5% of schools nation-
wide. Raytown first became a member of the NSDA (formally know as the National Forensic League) in 1967. Since 1996, Raytown has been a part of the national
rankings 15 times. The squad is led by Mark Harris, who has been Director of Debate and Forensics at Raytown High School since 1997.
Raytown Player Wins $1 Million Scratchers Prize Ronald Taylor took a bad day and turned it into a good one by playing the Missouri Lottery. The Raytown man had just left his doctor’s office when he purchased a “50X The Cash” Scratchers ticket that yielded a $1 million prize. It was welcome relief for Taylor, who had recently been diagnosed with cancer. He planned to take the lump-sum payment of $700,000 before taxes and use it to pay for hospice care for his wife. Sadly, she passed away shortly after he claimed the prize on Oct. 1. Now, his focus has shifted to helping his daughter and grandkids.
Taylor purchased the winning ticket at Price Chopper, 300 SW Blue Parkway, in Lee’s Summit. He described a short run that lead to him buying the winning ticket. “I decided to buy a $5 ticket,” he recalled. “I won $5, so I bought another $5 ticket and it was a $10 winner. So, I thought, ‘I’ll just buy a $10 ticket then.’ That’s when I hit it.” He asked a clerk to check his ticket and was told that he needed to claim it at a Lottery office. He was walking around the store when the magnitude of the win hit him. “I was going around the store, and I thought, ‘Wait a
minute. Fifty times $20,000 is $1 million.’ So, I went and got my bread that I went to store for, and on the way out, the lady who had helped me said, ‘Do you know how much you won?’ “I believe I do,” he replied with a smile. “50X The Cash” is a $10 game that officially began Dec. 13, 2013. Taylor won the second of three top prizes available in the game. More than $12 million in prizes remain. Taylor is the 88th instant millionaire in Missouri Lottery history, and the 407th Missouri Lottery-made millionaire.
light, (Laurel Ave.) a U-turn can lawfully be made. Then, just before you reach the intersection with Gregory, you will see the intersection of MO350 and Ditzler on your right just past the last building, where you can make a right turn. You will immediately encounter a stop sign
at Gregory, from which you can turn right and continue west on Gregory. Eastbound: If you are coming east on Gregory (toward Raytown Rd.), you will be required to turn onto eastbound 350 in front of Aldi’s. At the next light you can turn left (There is no U-turn per-
mitted at this intersection) and continue past Applebee’s and HyVee to the stop sign at Gregory. Turn right at the stop sign to continue on to Raytown Rd.
Raytown Park Board Agrees To Keep Super Splash Open By Robert Smith The October Parks Board meeting was all about Super Splash. After numerous meetings called by City Hall, Parks staff was directed to create two budgets for the Parks Board meeting, one budget with Super Splash and one without and all of the discussion was about the budget with Super Splash. The budget still has the same numbers as last month when the Park Board decided not to open Super Splash
next year. The reasoning was that an estimated loss of $144,000 plus and estimated $188,000 for repairs necessary to open the pool. This brings the total to $332,000 it will cost the tax payers to keep Super Splash open next year. Parks has finite resources available, 50 year-old pools require more maintenance. The Park Board requested assistance from the city to help pay for the repairs to open next year. During the meetings it
was stated that the Board of Alderman (BOA) believe that they have the votes to approve an expenditure of up to $80,000 to help off-set the cost of the repairs. This will be voted on and the BOA meeting to be held on October 23rd. Should this be approved, estimated loss will only be $250,000. According to the surveys completed by pool staff, only about a third of the users are Raytown residents.

Pearl Bailey (Pearlie Mae)… Retired Teachers Oppose Amendment #3 The Raytown Retired Teachers and School Personnel Association voted to oppose Amendment #3 as it appears on the ballot November of 2014. Whereas Amendment #3 would reduce local control of schools, Whereas Amendment #3 mandates standardized testing of students, Whereas Amendment #3 limits actual instruction and learning opportunities as
teachers spend time teaching for testing, Whereas Amendment #3 creates another state mandate yet ignores the financial responsibility of said mandate. For the reasons stated and others not mentioned the Raytown Retired Teachers and School Personnel Association urges all Missourians to vote NO on Amendment #3.
Revenge Is As Sweet As A Burger King Pie
Jason Offutt If this story is true, I salute this man. He had a headache, after all, and a guy with a headache can only take so much. The post on Reddit under the heading “offmychest” was labeled, “Am I a bad person for this?” Unfortunately it was like every other post on Reddit, nearly lost in a wash of gobbledygook. If you’ve never been on Reddit, the “news” feed appears to be designed for people with the attention span of a puppy. The subject matter? Let’s look at a few of today’s links: “A watermelon grew through my pathway light.” “A two-pound lobster tail.” And a video for, “My drunk wife makes “Grilled Cheeses.” The social networking service serves up much more than “Grilled Cheeses,” it gives people a place to get things “offmychest,” like this man who stood in line at Burger King in Montreal for a hamburger. “It was a very long line and I was at the end of it waiting patiently,” the man wrote. “When behind me comes this woman yapping on her cellphone with a little monster of a child.” We’ve all been there, folks. Well, maybe not Montreal. According to the post, the boy screamed for a pie, tossed his Game Boy when something didn’t go right, and punched his mother, who paid as much attention to him as she would a maga-
zine article entitled, “How to Be a Better Parent.” After a few minutes of this, “I calmly turn and ask her nicely if she can please calm or quiet her child down,” his post continued. “Immediately she gets up in my face telling me, ‘I can’t tell her nothing about raising her child.’” Then he turns around, and the mother tells Damien he’ll get his pie. When the man reached the counter he ordered a couple of burgers and (I can only assume while smiling) all the pies the restaurant had. He took his food and walked to the door where he turned back to watch the woman. “What do you mean you don’t have any pies left?” she screamed at the cashier, who told her where the pies went. When she looked over to the pie man (if she could channel the Dark Side of the Force, he’d be dead now), the guy took a pie out of one of his sacks, bit into it, and walked away. So the question is, if this story is true, did the pie man do the right thing? Let’s look at points one through five: 1) Dude was hungry. 2) The child was a brat. 3) The mother had the parenting ability of a mandrill baboon. 4) The pies were tasty. 5) Dude had a headache. Given the fact that I once snatched a newly acquired Happy Meal toy (Dragon Ball Z. Whatever that is) from the hands of my screaming four year old and tossed it out the car window onto the highway (after plenty of warnings I was going to do just that), I’m going to say yes. I hope he enjoyed the pies. 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.

No one said it was easy to make it in show business. So many great talents go unnoticed by the industry or audiences due to lack of poor management or no management. After years of making every effort to make it in theater and night clubs, PEARL BAILEY finally met up with STAN IRWIN. From that point forward her career soared. In a preferential phone interview about a week ago, Stan said, “She asked me to manage her, and I agreed right away, because she was a special lady, with a special talent, and just full of love for everyone.” The famous William Morris Agency had been booking her everywhere they could at low money. Irwin tripled her income the first year they were together, just on his own word and ability to sell and buy talent, as we have discussed in past articles here in “The Producer’s Corner”. Irwin said that “Pearl was the daughter of a preacher from Newport News, VA, born March 29, 1918. She was a humorist, a writer, a spokesperson for humanity, and an entertainer of the highest caliber.” He went on, “Pearl was a workaholic who sang and danced her way through the depression years in towns throughout Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., then on to Philadelphia where she won a contest for singing
a song and her prize was a mere $5.00.“ “I started to book her into larger hotels around the country as their star attraction along with her husband, Louis Bellson, accompanying her with his big band, and they were a big hit”, says Irwin. He said, “On many engagements, we would use opening acts before Pearl went onstage to warm up the audience. When I told Pearl that I had just booked her on the ‘Tonight Show, starring JOHNNY CARSON’, she went wild. She wowed the audience and Johnny and was invited back a number of times.” Stan said, “On one of her Tonight Show appearances, she got Johnny up off his desk to go out and sing and dance with her on stage, a first for Johnny Carson. She did the same with President Lyndon B. Johnson, the first time ever a U.S. President became a chorus backup singer.”

As Irwin got Pearl Bailey better engagements from Philadelphia to Las Vegas, her name became synonymous with “The beloved Pearlie Mae”, Irwin added. Irwin said, “I put Pearl into my Sahara’s Congo Showroom in Las Vegas and she was a huge hit there. Standing room only crowds and standing ovations at every performance.” It was Stan Irwin’s idea to have an all-black “Hello Dolly” put together for the

The Eclipse, A Place to Eat, Watch Sports, Dance, Enjoy Live Music And Have Fun
By George Michaud
After a two year absence, I drove to The Eclipse for a bite to eat and watched the Royals on one of their four large screen TVS win the ALDC series from the Orioles in game four with a close score of 2 to 1. After about three minutes, Raytown resident and waitress Julie Anthony asked me if she could help me. She gave me a menu and told me the entertainment would start at 8:30 p.m. incidentally, Julie was the only single waitress in the entire restaurant and lounge waiting on folks and that place was quite busy for a Wednesday night. How she did it and kept everyone happy is beyond me. I decided to wait it out, order some food and see what the entertainment would be like as well. The Eclipse has changed in a number of ways since my last visit there. The ambience which was evident before was gone and an entire new surroundings and atmosphere had reshaped the room somewhat. The stage was now across the room and adjacent to the bar area closer to the front entrance. I sort of liked it, but it was surely not designed to be that of a theatrical nature because the entertainer Rick Schnebelen never even had a pin point spotlight on him while performing. He sort of blended in with the tiny stage and the room.
Therefore, I figured the owners either didn’t know how or don’t want to feature entertainment too much. I’ve never run across a spot like this that attempts to do so many things all in one room. Somehow it all seems to come together and works just fine because the crowd this night were enjoying themselves in each location of the room except for those closest to the bar area. The attitude of personnel behind the bar serving folks seemed a bit cold, inobservant, and indifferent. Customers were not happy with their service in this area indicated by their comments. One fellow yelling out “where’s my drink” three times as the customer next to him was saying, “get me some silverware” got no response as personnel just walked past them. Julie brought on my Chicken Fried Steak Dinner at $8.49 which came with mashed potatoes and white gravy. One can have their choice of a vegetable or a house salad. I chose the salad with ranch dressing and it was quite good. Cold, crisp lettuce, dices carrots and the dressing was perfect. Very enjoyable. I was hungry. The chicken fried steak was excellent and tender enough one can cut it with a fork. The flavor was delicious. Potatoes lacked butter and flavor being quite bland but the white gravy helped make up for it. A roll also comes with this meal.
At 8:30 p.m. sharp the entertainer introduced himself and began his set of musical numbers. Rick Schnebelen who dresses like the guy next door, is approximately 25 to 28 years old plays at the smaller bars and lounges in the Kansas City. He is a handsome young man with a desire to make it in the music business, indicated by his selection of tunes, mostly originals and a few cover songs. He also plays the bass drum with his right foot and the high-hat with his left foot while quite amply accompanying himself on guitar. His strong point is guitar. I’ll save any type of music review for Rick for some other time when he is better showcased with a sound system that enables one to understand the words he’s singing and isn’t distorted. Also, when he can be seen with proper lighting and folks are not dancing right in front of him while he is trying to be artistic. I can say with certainty however that he did not show off his voice well enough to show me that he has more than two octaves to work with, which he does quite well. Rhythm and Blues seems to be his forte. Thought he did quite well on a couple of country and western tunes and so did the audience. I let Julie know when I was ready to leave and she promptly gave me a check with a smile. For the price, one can’t beat what you get.
My hat off to Julie for her professional and courteous service and I didn’t have to wait very long at all. One would expect to see her working at the Marriott or downtown on the Plaza. Julie is truly an asset to any establishment lucky enough to get her services. The food is quite good and if you want to go to a place that is boisterous, raucous, rowdy, noisy and dark in most areas, where in one corner they are playing on small pool tables, or playing darts in the middle of the room (just don’t walk in front of them) and folks are all round having fun in their own way, then the Eclipse is your kind of place. It’s obviously a hang-out for many of the locals. The restrooms were clean, well-kept and overall the place seemed clean including the kitchen area. The Eclipse is located at 6512 Raytown Road. The phone number is 816.356.0550. Their hours of operations are Mondays through Saturdays 11 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. and on Sunday 1 1a.m. to 12 a.m. They keep a calendar of music and daily specials on Facebook but you have to log into to read it. They have dart tournaments, smaller bar pool tables, lots of touch-screen games, big screen TVs for sports and smoking is allowed. Their menu includes appetizers, chips and salsa, burgers, Fish & Chips for $7.49, Fried
fee is at 8:30 a.m. and the meeting starts at 9:00 a.m. in the Club room located to the back north side of the store. Come and meet fellow Vikings of all years.

“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!
