Raytown Parks Reopens Tennis Courts At Colman Park Includes 10 and Under Quickstart Tennis Initiative for Kids
Ribbon cutting. Included are Parks Board members, Michele Sipes, Terry Landers, Aaron Smith; Aldermen, Steve Mock, Pat Ertz, Charlotte Melson and Bill VanBuskirk; and Friends of Raytown Parks Board members, Wayne Gadt and Rhoda Ertel
The Raytown Parks and Recreation Department opened the four newly refurbished tennis courts at Sarah Colman-Livengood Park with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 5912 Lane Ave. on October 24th at 4:00 p.m. City, Parks and Friends of Raytown Parks board officials, United States Tennis Association (USTA) representatives,
and Raytown citizens attended the grand opening. Hilltop Racquet Club was present to teach a youth tennis lesson after the dedication of the tennis courts. This project was made possible through a Missouri Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant in the amount of $74,501 through the Missouri
Dept. of Natural Resources. The project received a $20,000 grant from the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and an additional $10,000 from the USTA Missouri Valley Section for a total grant award of $30,000. The project included new asphalt surfacing, new amenities and two of the four courts were relined for 10

and Under Quickstart Tennis, a nationwide USTA initiative supported by the City of Raytown. 10 and Under Tennis allows children, ages 10 years and under, to learn the game of tennis and build an appreciation for tennis by playing on smaller courts with slower balls and kidsized equipment. ”Renovating the
Colman Park tennis courts has been a goal of the City of Raytown for several years. Thanks to alternative funding sources such as the federally funded LWCF program administered through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and United States Tennis Association grants, we’re able to leverage local dollars
to once again provide outstanding state of the art public tennis facilities for Raytown that improve the health of the community”, said Kevin Boji, Raytown Parks and Recreation Director. The ColmanLivengood Park courts were closed to the public in 2009 due to deteriorated Continued on page 2

Raytown Chamber Annual Meeting and New Board Installation, October 29 Mike Sanders Gives Legislative Update
The Raytown Area Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting and luncheon took place at REAP on October 29, 2013. The new slate of class of 2016 board members are Shawnee Burns of Commerce Bank, Alderman Steve Mock, Rene Purtee of Arvest Bank and Derek Ward of KCP&L. Jackson County Executive, Mike Sanders, was the keynote speaker and gave a legislative update. He cited the recent renovation of the Truman Courthouse
that was rededicated in September of this year. In 1933, the courthouse was built to last for 50 years under the leadership of Harry S. Truman. Eighty years later, it still stands and Sanders proudly reported the renovation was on time, under budget and paid with cash that the county began setting aside in 2007. Built to last for generations and paid in cash is the same approach that Sanders intends to take in expanding the 16th Circuit Courthouse
of Jackson County in Independence. The eastern Jackson County population has contributed to an increased case load that results in extremely long waits to trial that can have a huge impact on our community depending on the legal issues. The expansion is planned to break ground next year. Development of public transit is close to Sanders’ heart because it generates economic development growth along the stops of the

He ended his talk in support of the Jackson County half-cent of one percent sales tax increase intended to promote economic development by establishing medical research in collaboration with Children’s Mercy Hospital, University of Missouri-Kansas City, S. Luke’s Hospital and the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute.

Has The Information Sector Employment Skid Stopped? By Jeff Pinkerton KCEconomy.com Information has long been an industry sector that we watch closely. It requires special attention because it is a sector we specialize in here in Kansas City. Information is a broad sector that basically covers publishing (non-Internet), telecommunications and data processing. Sprint is our big player here, with about 7,000 employees. Although only 3 percent of our local workforce is employed in this industry, that is a significantly higher percentage than the nation (2 percent). This industry is also worth following closely because we’ve been losing information jobs at an alarming rate. Local employment in this sector peaked in August 2000, with more
than 57,000 jobs. Today, that employment number stands at just 30,000, a decline of 47 percent. Nationally, the sector declined 38 percent over the same period. Keep in mind that the Information sector should not be confused with Information Technology (IT). IT is not a specific industry sector, but a commonly used term referring to computer and technology jobs. Under the federal classification system, these jobs are more likely to fall in the Professional and Business Services sector, which has seen substantial growth. We have noted on several occasions that Kansas City’s overall employment performance has been less than stellar over the last decade or so. Clearly, being so invested in an
industry that is losing overall employment contributes to this. But, there are signs that suggest we may have seen the bottom of the fall in this industry.
Local employment in the Information sector hit a low of 28,700 jobs in March 2011 and has since crawled back to 30,000. Whether this trend continues or not
might depend on how the proposed sale of Sprint to SoftBank plays out. The days of the Information sector being a local job creator
may be gone, but if this sector has somewhat stabilized, at least it will no longer be such a drag on our overall local employment scene.
Former Raytown Officer Charged With Theft A former Raytown police officer has been charged in connection with thefts of drugs and valuables from a Raytown police evidence room, Jackson County
Police were called to the area of 74th Terrace and 75th Street on October 29, 2013, just before 3:00 p.m. in
Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker announced Friday, October 25, 2013. Justin M. Pool, 35, faces three felony counts of Theft of a Controlled Substance and two other felony
counts of Theft of Property. The thefts occurred in January 2013, according to court records filed today. An investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division
of Drug and Crime Control found missing valuables, including gold jewelry and controlled substances, including pills of Oxycodone. Pool was an officer in Raytown at the
time. The Raytown Police Department requested the Highway Patrol investigate after Raytown police began to suspect that thefts had occurred. Raytown police

do not believe the loss of any evidence should impact any open criminal case. Prosecutors requested a bond of $50,000/10 percent or secured.
Anyone with information about this, or any other, crime is asked to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 474-TIPS.
RHS Debate And Forensics Squad Ranked In The Top 5% In The Nation The Raytown High School (RHS) Debate and Forensics Squad has been ranked in the top 5% in the nation by the National
Forensics League. This marks the 14th time in the past 17 years that RHS’s Debate Squad has been ranked in the top 5-10%.
“The District’s motto of ‘Expect the Exceptional’ is one that we take seriously as we prepare for our competitions, and we strive
to leave a positive legacy for those that will follow,” Debate Teacher Mark Harris said. “The banner that I have at the front of the classroom
reads, ‘Championships are won with practice and preparation; the trophies are picked up at the tournament’.”
The annual ranking is given based on competitive and service related activities the students participate in throughout the year.
Judge Peggy Stevens McGraw To Retire The Circuit Court of Jackson County is losing one of its veteran judges at the end of October. Circuit Judge Peggy Stevens McGraw will be retiring after serving 18 years on the bench. “I have been a public servant almost my entire working life,” McGraw said. “I have been blessed to have a wonderful career in the law.” Amazingly, most of her career took place within one city block.
She worked for either the Circuit Court of Jackson County or the Missouri Court of Appeals for the Western
District for the majority of her career. McGraw, 61, was the Court Clerk for the Court of Appeals when the seven judges were located on the 10th floor of the Jackson County Courthouse. Later, a new courthouse for the appellate court was built across the street. In June 1995, she was appointed associate circuit judge of Division 103, which is now known as Division 27. Six years later, she was
appointed circuit judge of Division 8. “I have gotten more than I’ve given, and it has been very rewarding to be a part of the justice system and help people resolve life issues.” McGraw was recently honored by the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Foundation with the “Liberty and Justice Legacy Award.” Other highlights of her career include her early involvement in the Association of Women
Lawyers, and her term as president. She also served on the Missouri Supreme Court’s Trial Judges Education Committee for 13 years. She was chair of the Docketing Committee that mandated case management and mediation, and she served as presiding judge of the circuit court. In retirement, McGraw plans to continue her community involvement. She
presently serves as president of the board of a Kansas City, Missouri charter school, Scuola Vita Nuova. She has served on the board for six years and is very proud of the academic strides the students are making. McGraw received a J.D. degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Her last day on the bench is October 31.

The Life And Times Of Johnny
OPINION Jackson County Executive Statement On Passing Of Congressman Ike Skelton Jackson County Executive Mike Sanders released the following statement on Monday, October 28, 2013 on the passing of former United States Congressman Ike Skelton. “Tonight, we lost a true gentleman and one of the great ambassadors for the State of Missouri. Serving as both a Prosecutor and United States Congressman, Congressman Skelton dedicated much of his life to public service. His work to increase military training at Fort Leonard Wood and to have the B-2 bomber
placed at Whiteman Air Force Base helped put the State of Missouri and our metropolitan area on the map. I am particularly honored that one of his last public appearances came when Jackson County dedicated the Historic Truman Courthouse in Independence this past September. Congressman Skelton resembled President Truman in so many ways, both in his passion for our nation’s military and to serving the citizens of Missouri. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his entire family.”

An adventure serial of a boy in Downtown Raytown Continued from last week… After double-checking my pockets again for my allowance’s (25 cents) two dimes and the nickel package of Topps baseball cards shoved deep in my pockets, I grabbed the handlebars on my bike and ran just to the left side of it getting it up to speed. I leaped upon it just as I had seen the Lone Ranger leap on his horse, Silver, on my portable black and white television in my bedroom many times. My feet caught up with the pedals and off I was heading for my next destination on my shopping spree in Raytown. I steered my bike behind the Okay Food Market parking lot (what is now the first mowed lawn just to the north of Fox’s Drugs) and headed down the hill towards the rear entry of the Raytown Pool Hall until my eyes caught a bonus just before I got to their alleyway to 63rd Street. WOW... Three empty unbroken Coca Cola bottles! This was a real bonus today, as there were usually beer bottles where I found my mother lode this Saturday morning. They were most likely mixers now that I reflect upon their location and past history of never seeing them there before. My feet hit the brakes on my pedals and the rear tire of my bicycle slid sideways as I came to a screeching halt right next to them. Hurriedly, I put them in the basket on the front of my bike and

off I went through the alleyway towards 63rd Street. Now that I had valuable assets on bike, I had to veer to the right and not jump the sidewalk as I normally did to my next destination. I raced my bike up to Fox Drug’s parking lot and made a quick U-turn and flew across the street to Muir’s Pharmacy (Superior Upholstery currently) after making sure the traffic was clear. I kicked the stand down and ran into the door to the candy counter. As I suspected, there was nothing new there that caught my eye enough to invest my assets in this week so back out I went. No harm in checking, however. I got up to speed as I passed The Sport Spot and the Raytown Bank (Bank of America now) and flew

back diagonally across 63rd Street and Blue Ridge Blvd. heading north. My entire focus was on getting to the bustling Raytown Plaza Shopping Center now. I made a sharp right turn at Robinson’s Shoes (Subway now) and drove my bike slowly down the sidewalk towards the Thriftway Grocery Store (Northcraft currently) to empty my basket. Having had close encounters before with shoppers, I knew it was the best speed to travel. After parking my bike, I grabbed my three treasures and into the new automatic doorway I went. Just to the left inside the doors was the grocery store’s elevated booth and the lady that stood there peering down at me must have looked like a giant to this 6-year old kid. By today’s standards,

can you imagine parents allowing a child that age free reign of Raytown? No issue then, as it was a safer place to live without the known issues we have in this era. I held up my bottles as I had numerous times before and she handed me down the usual white slip of paper I had gotten from her many times in the past. I placed my bottles into the deep square basket of empties by her booth and off I went to the check stand to get my cash. 6 cents....and out the door I went!

O’Hara 47, Warrensburg 28 By Brother Richard The O’Hara High School football team completed their regular season with a 47-28 victory over their West Central Conference opponent from Warrensburg on October 25. The two teams went through a scoreless first quarter before the Celtics piled up 26 points by halftime. The Tigers controlled the ball the entire first quarter, beginning on their 13-yard line and advancing to the O’Hara 5-yard line where they finally gave up the ball on downs. On the drive, the team twice was successful on fourth down plays. When the Celtics went on offense, they marched from their 5-yard line in eleven plays to open the scoring. The big play in
the drive was a 37-yard run by Michael Rowe, but the touchdown was a 24-yard run by Gerard Harker. O’Hara got their second TD following a punt, scoring on a 33-yard pass play from Michael Briggs to Austin Evans. The Tigers moved the ball toward the O’Hara goal fairly well until Gerard Harker intercepted and returned the ball 75 yards for O’Hara’s third score. Zack Drake’s extra point attempt was blocked, but the Celtics were up 20-0. The Tigers finally got on the scoreboard with 23 seconds left to the half, scoring on a pass play from Ben McClung to Lane Batusic. Even with the limited time left to the half, O’Hara scored once more. Two passes to Zach Drake
resulted in O’Hara going up 26-7, the second play covering 56 yards! Warrensburg scored first in the third quarter. Set up by an interception by Ryan Houk, the Tigers got a 3-yard TD run by quarterback Ben McClung. J.D. Culp added the extra point. O’Hara answered with a touchdown on an 11yard pass from Michael Briggs to Michael Rowe. Michael Briggs added two points on a two-point conversion. At the start of the fourth quarter, Gerard Harker scored from two yards out for the Celtics. The last three touchdowns were by Zach Nowlin on a 17-yard run for the Tigers, an 8-yard run by Larry Bosworth for the Celtics, and a 24-yard run by Zach Nowlin for the visitors.

Pet Owners Should Be Aware But Not Panic About Tainted Pet Treats, MU Expert Says On October 22, 2013 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a request to veterinarians around the country for their assistance in identifying pets that were potentially sickened as a result of consuming tainted chicken jerky pet treats. Since 2007, the FDA has received more than 3,500 reports of pet illnesses related to the consumption of jerky treats, resulting in
580 pet deaths. Tim Evans, an associate professor of veterinary pathobiology at the University of Missouri College of Veterinary Medicine and a veterinary toxicologist, says that while pet owners should be aware of this issue and watchful for signs of illness in pets that have been consuming these treats on a regular basis, it is not a cause for alarm for the majority of dogs and cats. “While the loss of any
pet is tragic, only a very small percentage of pets has been affected by this strange illness during the past six years,” Evans said. “If pet owners have been feeding their dogs or cats jerky treats containing chicken, duck, sweet potatoes and/or dried fruits, I would recommend they stop feeding the animals the treats immediately and monitor their pets’ health. While there may not be a
cause for immediate alarm, owners of small-breed dogs that have consumed these treats on a regular basis, especially those with preexisting health conditions, might want to have their pet examined by their regular veterinarian and have some laboratory testing performed. If an owner’s pet should begin to show signs of illness, such as decreased appetite, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea and/or increased
water consumption and urination, owners should immediately bring their pets in for evaluation by a veterinarian, because the sooner this illness is detected the better the chances that it can be treated effectively.” Evans says the primary illness stemming from these tainted treats involves kidney disease and failure if the illness progresses without treatment. “The FDA and scientists around
the country have been working on this problem tirelessly for many years, but it has been a very difficult process because no obvious ingredients in the jerky treats have been found to cause this illness,” Evans said. “Hopefully with this latest call for help from veterinarians nationwide, the FDA will collect enough information soon to determine why this illness is occurring.”
Understanding The New Health Care Law Seminars The Affordable Health Care Act and How It Affects You seminar took place on October 29, 2013, at Raytown City Hall and was hosted by the Missouri Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS), State Representatives Bonnaye Mims and Tom McDonald, and the Raytown Democratic Association. If you could not attend,
seminar, consider the Mid-Continent Public Library in Raytown seminar, Understanding the New Health Care Law and How it Affects You, on November 12, 2013, Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. Registration is required. The seminar served to dispel some of the misinformation circulating in the news media and communities.

HHS presenters also warned of unscrupulous agents who are already attempting to sell supplemental insurance to Medicare recipients. The seminar provided a wealth of information regarding navigating the marketplace website, that is available in both Spanish and English and Smartphone ready, to understanding the requirements, tax
credits and eligibility of the new healthcare law. Attendees learned that help is available both online and over the phone for those who don’t have internet access. They also learned that hardship waivers are available for those who do not file tax returns, how the law impacts Medicaid and Medicare recipients, how those under the
federal Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan can transition to the
new healthcare plans and more.

Sharon Propst, treasurer of the Raytown Arts Council, will direct the production The cast
features Ron Ruisinger as Don; Linda Geary as Alice; Alex Phillips as Ben; and Sharon Propst (St. Mary’s parishioner) as Camille. Story of the Play The plot of the show revolves around a husband, wife, lover and friend. Mix in a strange lamp, a gun and a rubber chicken plus a party that begins at 8 p.m., then again at 8 p.m. and then again at 8 p.m. and you have this nightmare comedy. Four people find themselves reliving one horrible hour over and over as themselves, as Japanese, as British aristocrats, as gangsters, and almost anything else you can think of. Camille is giving the party. Don shows up in a jealous funk about his wife, Alice, whom he suspects of
seeing another man. When Alice and Ben have arrived, it turns out their relationship is innocent. But by the time Don realizes this he has already shot Ben, Alice and even Camille. Camille wishes that things might have turned out differently and that is what happens. All concerned find themselves back at the party’s beginning again and again doomed to live that same hour over and over again until they get it right. Is it all an accident? Or is his or her dilemma part of someone’s fiendish plan? A labyrinth of hilarity exits to a shocker of an ending. For more information, contact RCP at (816) 877-7114 or visit www.rcplayers. org.
