Raytown Veterans Honored Tribute and Thank You to Our Veterans took place on Sunday, November 9, 2014, sponsored by the Raytown Arts Council, Raytown Council on Aging, Raytown Retired Teachers Association and the Marguerite McNair Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution. The program led by Alyse Stoll, opened with a color guard and included words of reflection by Mayor David Bower
and State Representative, Tom McDonald. The Raytown Community Symphonic Band conducted by Eric Eckhoff gave a powerful performance of America’s favorite patriotic songs. Noel Fulkerson led the Kansas City Men’s Chorus to pay a moving choral tribute to veterans. Veterans were invited to set up appointments to record their service stories. Continued on page 2

Raytown South Gets Footloose By Diane Krizek Editor To our delight, Raytown South High School Theatre presented its fall musical, “Footloose”, from November 6 to 8, 2014. Performers played to nearly a full house on Saturday night. This stage adaptation of the 1984 film starring Kevin Bacon
tells the story of Ren McCormack and his mother who are abandoned by Ren’s father and are forced to move from Chicago to a small town. Ren quickly discovers that dancing and rock music have been banned by city ordinance due to the heavy handed influence of Reverend Shaw Moore. Ren

Raytown State Swim Team Wins All-State Honors By J. Robert Atkins On November 7 and 8, 2014, members of Raytown’s Swim and Dive State Team competed in the annual Missouri State High School Swim Meet at the St. Peters Rec-Plex in St. Peters, MO. Over 60 schools from all over the state of Missouri brought their best swimmers to compete in this two day event. Raytown placed 28th overall with All-State Honors going to the State Team comprised of four student athletes: Seniors, Tristen Caudle and Grant Myers, Junior Braden Best and Sophomore Jordan Atkins for their performance in the 200 Free Relay. The State Team were honored at the School Board meeting on Monday, November 10. The team coaches are Jim Aziere (head), George Halsey (divers) and Joe Farrand (assistant). “This is my 50th year coaching high school with 41 years spent here in Raytown. For the past 40 years straight, our teams have
gone to state and we last won AllState Honors in 2008,” said Aziere. “Since 1974, our overall record has been 485 wins and 82 losses.” In order to compete in the meet, swimmers have to swim at or under the state posted times in any of the 12 events. Raytown High had swimmers competing in six events, the 50 Free, 100 Free, 100 Breast, 200 Medley Relay, 200 Free Relay and the 400 Free Relay. In addition to the State Team, the alternates were Junior Nathan Verhulst, Sophomore Devin Fiene, and Freshmen Fred Farrand and Blake Tuder. The coaching team is Jim Aziere (head coach), George Halsey (divers) and Joe Farrand (assistant). During the preliminaries, the State Team posted a time of 1:30.52, just short of posting a new school record. Their finals time of 1:31.52 earned them an overall eighth place medal in the event. Caudle also received Honorable Mention AllState for taking 15th overall in the 100 Free, posting a finals time of

49.79. During preliminaries he had a personal best of 49.29. He also placed 18th in the 50 Free (22.42). The 400 Free Relay team, Atkins, Best, Caudle and Myers, posted a time of 3:25.42 good enough for 18th just two places from also receiving All-State Honorable Mention. The 200 Medley Relay, an event that combines
all competition strokes: back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly and freestyle, swam by Atkins, Myers, Fiene and Best placed 33rd with a time of 1:49.31. Individually, Myers took 30th in 100 breast with a time of 1:04.05 and Best took 40th in the 50 free with a time of 23.11. The overall team scores put the returning champs, Rockhurst High School first with a total team score of 270 points, Park Hill High School
second with 172 points and Rockbridge High School third with 133 team points. It was a great season by the Raytown Boys Swim Team posting some of the best results seen in years! Editor Notes: Anybody notice that the State Swim Team members are all blondes? We’re told that a long standing tradition in Raytown is that teams that go to state are required to die their hair.

has cared for 5 generations of this community that she calls home. After 35 plus years she retires November 14, 2014. She nurtures the staff as well as the patients with the baking of favorites for birthdays, small gifts, cards and always-kind thoughts. In each moment of nursing care she gives comfort and
concern with all her actions - excepting those throat swabs for strep screens that can be felt to your toes! Reliable, consistent and patient are words, which come to mind about Linda but they do not tell the full story of her great humanity. This will well serve all those around her as she moves on to her next chapter. She will
have more time to spend with her husband Gary, her daughters, Denise and Stephanie, and her grandchildren. There will be more time to walk and I am certain there will be baking. May we carry forward her legacy of constant care.
Raytown Police Launch New Website The Raytown Police Department is pleased to announce the launch of its new website, http://www. raytownpolice.org! The Raytown Police Department strives to engage with and inform its residents, as well as the general public, as directly as possible. The new website will be an important tool to enhance that communication, while proving to be a valuable resource for
the citizens of Raytown. The website is also optimized for mobile devices! The website provides information for police and public partnering opportunities, including Citizen Police Academies and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training. Career and volunteer opportunities will also be posted as they become available. The website features vari-
ous divisions and special units within the department, the latest news, community safety articles, and crime
trends, as well as an extensive “How do I?” page, to answer the most commonly asked questions.
The website is the result of work by a small group of Department members from different divisions and units of the Department. That small group had a vision to provide a means to quickly and easily exchange important information with Raytown citizens, then turned that vision into a website aimed at improved service. They saved Raytown taxpayers money by developing and
building the website themselves, and tailoring it to fit the goals of the Department and to serve its citizens. The Raytown Police Department looks forward to using its new website to enhance communication, and create partnerships, with the citizens and businesses of Raytown.
The Royals Win Awards And Have A Promising 2015 Season Planned By George Michaud Ned Yost will be The Royal’s manager for 2015. Yost came in third place for Manager of The Year Award. Some think he should have made first. He’s not unhappy. He brought The Royals to a point this past season where they haven’t peaked like that in nearly thirty years. General Manager Dayton Moore has plenty of interesting prospects lined up for next season after building
the team for eight years and he’s not about to back down. The Royals fan favorite, designated hitter Billy Butler has not been picked up for the amount optioned at $12.5 million, but if he wants to stay on with the team at a cut in pay, we just may see Billy back next year but his run production has to increase over last season. Moore has other players new and old he’s got his choice from and rumors are circulating that Butler has an offer from an opposing team and those ex-
tra bucks just may put Butler in a compromising position whether to stay where he has called home for the past decade or move on for more money. James Shields may leave as a Free Agent as he rejected the qualifying offer of $15.3 million but Moore says it will be tough to match other offers coming in from teams for Shields but he’s not saying no just yet. Yordano Ventura, the 23 year old rookie who pitched so great for his first time during a World Se-
RSHS Cross Country Qualifies For Sectionals
By Brianna Bauer On October 25th, 2014, the Raytown South High School cross-country team competed at Lake Jacomo in the District Cross Country meet. The boys unfortunately didn’t place in the Top 30 and therefore did not qualify for Sectionals. The girls had a little bit better luck. Nia Nunn qualified for Sectionals, placing 15th out of 30, and Emma Franklin placed 28th, just barely qualifying for Sectionals. Congrats to both Nia and Emma and the rest of the cross-country team for all of their hard work.
ries and with speeds up to 100 mph will stay on with the Royals and more than likely will become their ace starting pitcher. Davis, Guthrie, Herrera and Holland round out what may be called the best bull pen in MLB. Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon received the Wilson Defensive Player of The Year Award last Wednesday at The Plaza Hotel in New York. Hosmer, Gordon and Perez repeated their winning of The Rawlings Gold Glove
Awards. That was the fourth straight Gold Glove in a row for Gordon and the second in a row for Hosmer. Alex Gordon went on to win the Platinum Glove Award for The American League. With all the talk of Moore interested in other top players it will be just a matter of time when more announcements will be made on the final decision of Billy Butler and/or who will replace him and other strong outfielders. With Yost at the helm and Dayton Moore in the engine
room it appears as though The Kansas City Royals will be strong contenders for the 2015 season. Our team sure gave a ride in 2014, so I look forward to the journey in the 2015 season with very positive contemplation of another solid and exciting baseball season to come. I can’t wait. I don’t know about you but by the size and support of all the fans in the stands I believe we are in for a nice ride.

dence, recalling all of their lines and expertly navigating the complex choreography. The only thing that failed us that night was the sound system that almost spoiled the enjoyable performance of Juvi Luna as Cowboy Bob singing “Still Rockin’.” “The vocal harmonies were outstanding and the choreography was sensational,” said Alyse Stoll of the Raytown Arts Council. The gravelly voice of Cole Foster who played Ren added to the character of the kid from Chicago. Zach Flanery as Reverend Moore and Allison Hornbostel as his wife, Vi, were the perfect middle-aged minister and his wife wrestling with the issue of protecting their daughter without driving her away. Lauren Douglas as their daughter, Ariel, convinced us that she truly loved her parents despite her raucous, rebellious antics. She
delivered “Holding Out for a Hero” with gusto and the harmonies of trio members, Hannah Unruh, Neisa Icart and Jacquelyn Price, were delightful. If we didn’t know better, we might’ve mistaken Price’s “Let’s Hear It For the Boy” as the original recording. Tristan Clemons did a wonderful job creating Willard, the tall, lanky, kind hearted, simple minded country bumpkin. The audience chuckled when Principal Harry Clark played by Christopher Gilbert exited the scene with “That is all” echoing Raytown South’s Principal Overfelt. If you missed “Footloose”, you have the opportunity to see the “Drowsy Chaperone, a Musical within a Comedy” presented by Raytown High School’s Department of Theatre on November 20-22, 2014. Support the artistic endeavors of our students. I’ll be there.
naturally challenges the ban that the minister justifies because four partying teenagers were killed in a car accident, one of whom was the minister’s son. The situation gets more complicated when the Reverend Moore’s daughter, Ariel, reaches out to Ren in friendship. Branded the town troublemaker, Ren continues to stand up for his right to dance and eventually touches a chord with the Reverend by sharing his own pain from the loss of his father. Reverend Shaw realizes he must let go of his pain that is driving his daughter away and keeping a black cloud over the town. This production was beautifully cast and was a showcase of the wonderfully talented students we have in Raytown. Drama teacher, Brent Martin, brought the best out of these students who performed with confi-

Hi Diane, Just wanted to thank you again for the paper delivery! I was so excited to see that you did an article on Fox’s Drug! Every time I drive by there I think, someone needs to do a story about that place! And you did! I used to take my daughters there every summer for a milkshake until Mr. White retired. We were all so sad! We loved their milkshakes! I would bribe my girls by promising them a Fox’s milkshake if they would walk to Fox’s with me! Happy memories! I’ve attached a picture of my girls (when they were
younger) at Fox’s when Mr. White was there at the grill. Last time I was in there, Mr. Fox said he was thinking of re-opening his grill. That would be so wonderful. I hope he does. Our meeting is tomorrow and the kids will be so excited to get the papers. We are having a photographer come and speak with them tomorrow. We have such a wonderful community here in Raytown. So many people willing to come and invest in our kids! Thank you for being one of them!

After over twenty years of struggling in the mecca of the entertainment industry, RONNIE TURSO finally had enough and made a decision to go back to his home in New York. He had given it all he had in him to make himself a name, and as far as many of his fans were concerned, he had made it in their eyes. But then again, these were loving, adoring fans that had come down a long and arduous journey with Turso and loved him regardless of what his decision was. There comes a point in time in a young man’s career, where he must decide whether he still has what it takes, whether he’s still young enough, and can he take the grind day in and day out any longer. Driving 55 miles to work and again back home at 3 a.m. That’s at least ten hours a day he’s put in already, not counting the hours to rehearse routines, write music, work on new exciting, entertaining ideas for his shows, and on and on. It never ends. Turso didn’t have to say it in so many words, but I noted that he felt as though he was getting older and the days of trying to be a singing sensation were over. That’s a hard decision to finally come to grips with. Although, with Ronnie, he felt it coming on with each passing

before he knew it, the voice was simply going away. In Ronnie Turso’s world and level at which he performed, he was forced to work extra-long sets, extralong hours, days and the repetition of doing the same thing over and over each night can get to one’s mind, after so many years, unless a performer sees progress in the future. When they stop seeing even a glimmer of hope, or at least get into that state of mind, then, they feel it’s time to call it a day. On our phone interview on Tuesday afternoon this week, Turso said “I’ve written my auto-biography, yet to be published”. I told him I wanted to be the first to read that. “I’ve written a Broadway Show called “It Should Have Been Carnegie Hall”. He said he also has written the book of the same title hoping it would generate enough interest to get the play off the ground and onto Broadway. Turso wrote all the lyrics and all the music

The Parental Torture That Is Minecraft
Jason Offutt I looked at my kid like he was speaking a foreign language. In effect, he was. “And I saw an Enderman,” the Boy said. “Ender-man?” I stuttered. It didn’t sound like a new super hero or a
cartoon. It sounded like a type of wedgie. “Yeah,” he continued. “They spawn in the Overworld at night. And if you see one, run. Don’t attack it. It’s not like a Creeper or a Zombie.” “It’s not?” Did I feel light headed? The Boy laughed. “No, they teleport.” Oh, do they now? I understood enough of that gobbledygook to be pretty sure it was about the video game “Minecraft.” Other than that, he may as well have been speaking Klingon. “Can you help me download a new skin?” he asked. “Uh, no,” I said, with a look of both confusion
and frustration. I think it’s called confrustration. “I think the one you have looks fine.” I may have seen confrustration on my parent’s faces more than once. No. Not “may have.” I definitely saw that look. I smiled at the Boy, picked up what was left of my sanity and slunk away. I knew what was going on. I’d already lived that part of my life. Growing up with me couldn’t have been easy on my parents. We lived on a farm. My older sisters liked their Easy Bake oven and “The Brady Bunch” reruns. When they were older they liked makeup and boys. They read normal books and became
yearbook royalty. Me? “Lost in Space” was on at the same time as “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood,” so I watched “Lost in Space.” I sure knew a lot more about the Robinson family’s deep space adventures than I did the cardigan stylings of Fred Rogers. For me, my parents suffered through “Star Trek,” “The Planet of the Apes” TV series, “The Six Million Dollar Man” and “Battlestar Galactica,” none of which fit into their small town, rural Missouri concept of proper entertainment. My sisters were normal and watched “Happy Days.” I got the confrustration face. Then I discovered
“Monty Python’s Flying Circus.” “You have to watch this with me,” I told them on a Thursday night, which was BBC comedy night on our local PBS station. To their credit, they sat in the living room and watched. It took my dad 15 minutes before he stood to get another beer. “What the hell is this?” I remember him saying. “It doesn’t make any sense.” He disappeared into the kitchen and never came back. I’ve tried to be more understanding with my children, to the point I’m more knowledgeable about Pokémon than a respectable 49-year-old man should be. They’ve (hope-
fully) finished their Pokémon phase. I can’t handle learning the language and rules of a completely new game. I’m nearing Nonsense Saturation. The human brain can only hold so much. Now I know what I put my parents through. Mom and Dad, I’m really sorry about that. 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.

Producer’s Corner continued from page 4 for the show and I’ve heard all the numbers. They are all great, as far as I’m concerned. The Broadway Play is based on his very own Grandfather’s life and diary. Turso has tried his hand at comedy and wrote a book titled “It Just Makes Sense”, I Think” and one can find this at Amazon.com. I gave a little fatherly advice, as I have always done with Ronnie throughout the many years that I managed his career. Tried helping him save his money and invest wisely. Mainly, I stressed to him to never give up. Never stop trying. I don’t just say that lightly to just everyone I meet. I say it to someone who has the talent. Someone who could still be a huge success. A household name, as it were. The name Ronnie Turso, in my opinion, will be huge one day, and if I have anything to do with it, it won’t be too much longer. His “Runaway Train” which can be found under YouTube just by searching under his name RONNIE TURSO, could be a number

one hit overnight, if done by the likes of a Willie Nelson, Loretta Lynn even or some other top country star. The song is more than just another song; it’s an eye-opener as to what’s going on in the world around us. Ronnie Turso’s star is just beginning to shine. I just need to convince him of it. Like he said, “My son Todd, works for Jay Z and Beyonce’, worked with Lady Gaga and everything they do is media-driven. Hits don’t come about the way we were used to see them happen. They are driven to the top of the charts by the public”. How many Ronnie Tursos are there out there waiting in the wings? How many great talents have gone by without getting their just rewards or recognition? It happens all the time. I’ve seen it for well over forty years, and it can just break your heart to see it when you know they should have made it. After all, it took Mozart a couple hundred years to really make it big. Thank you for taking the time to read about an artist who struggled his way through

Westridge Gardens To Host A Raytown Artist Of The Month Series In 2014 Thursday, January 30th from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. Westridge Gardens is partnering with the Raytown Artist’s Associations to host the inaugural Artist of the Month reception featuring Artist, Dawn C. Thomas. The community is invited to come and enjoy refreshments, meet the artist, view the art, and possibly purchase a piece for home. About the Artist: Ms. Thomas has been painting for over 40 years. She studies with several nationally known watercolor artists annually. Her prize-
winning work has been exhibited in area Art Show’s and Festivals in Kansas and Missouri; She has won many local and state awards. Ms. Thomas has a Master’s Degree in Art and taught high school art for 40 years. She has authored and published five books for art teachers. Since retirement in 2009, her work has been selected for National Juried shows across the USA. In addition, she also is known for large indoor and outdoor murals. “My subject matter is pri-
marily floral and landscapes. The Architecture and culture of the Southwest has intrigued me. Like a magnet, I visit and paint in Taos, New Mexico yearly. My trademark vivid colors, strong emphasis on light and shadow, and unusual viewpoints help enhance the subjects I choose. Never without ideas, I’m always experimenting and evolving.” Inspiration comes from everywhere. Ms. Thomas holds memberships in the MO, AL, TX, IL, and Red River Watercolor Societies. Currently, she is
the President of the Raytown Artist’s Association and a member of the Lee’s Summit Art Group. Her paintings can be seen at Image Gallery in Overland Park, Gott Art in Lee’s Summit, and St. Luke’s East. The art at Westridge Gardens is located in the front hallway, leading from the front door to the main part of our building. Anyone who is unable to attend the reception is encouraged to come out anytime through out the month. Each piece of artwork is accompanied by
a small card noting the artist’s name, the work’s title, the purchase price, and the artist’s contact information. Each of these exquisite pieces is for sale, and anyone interested in purchasing a piece or two should contact each artist directly. Again, we love the Raytown Artist’s Association for choosing us to show off the great works of their amazing artists.

Oh Those Trees: Love Em’ Or Hate Em’
Photographer R.C. Jones and his wife spent several days enjoying the fall color in the Ozarks. When they returned, he was still in the “fall picture-taking mode” and caught this picture of Wildwood Lake as the sun was rising. “Beauty can be found close to home,” he said and entitled this shot, “Good Morning, Raytown”. By Lisa Bankston Every autumn we are awed by glorious leaves changing to brilliant reds, golds and purple for two maybe three weeks. But, then those gorgeous colors only produce a yard full of work! You probably mumble an array of choice words for the numerous trees we have in Raytown that shed in your yard throughout October and November. You might
have woke up early Monday morning as I did, groaning and reaching for the Aspercreme to rub horribly sore muscles from endless raking and bagging, merely to have one whole weekend gone and more leaves blowing in the wind. Please let your groans go back to the awes of April and May when shades of green and flowering buds dotted the neighborhood. Remember those summer months
of afternoons in the yard and family barbeques in the shade. Yes, we have a love/ hate relationship with trees; however, their good does outweigh their bad. Here are reasons to love your trees: Trees help purify the air we breath by absorbing pollutants. They increase property values, improve neighborhood appeal and create safer and more sociable environments. Trees reduce heat generated by
Fall Is Tree Planting Time By Lisa Bankston Did you know that Raytown, Missouri is recognized by the National Arbor Day Foundation as a “Tree City USA?” Our city spends $2.00 per capita on city tree planting and tree care every year! According to Steve Bankston, Raytown Tree Board president, Raytown still needs more trees and the residents can help. “Over the last few years we have lost hundreds of trees due to extreme heat, drought, insects, ice storms and of course some are damaged and getting just to old or decayed that they must be cut down before they become a hazard to people and property. Some

people believe they can only plant trees in the spring, but that is not true. You can plant a tree anytime of the year, but the perfect time is when the tree is dormant in the fall,” Bankston said. One of the most important things to remember is to select the right tree for the site. Always consider the mature size of a tree to be sure you have enough room. Make the hole deep
enough to cover the ball of the tree, but the point where the trunk and roots meet should be visible. Keep the tree well watered as winter approaches if possible. Bankston added, “Planting a tree is a unique and lifetime gift that continues giving. Tree planting is the perfect present for the birth of a baby, anniversary, and new home or in memory of a loved one. You don’t actually plant a tree for this generation but for the next.” According to an old Chinese Proverb, “One generation plants the trees, another gets the shade.” If you have questions or need advise, contact the Steve Bankston of the Raytown Tree Board at swbankston@ sbcglobal.net.

building and paved surfaces and the shade from one tree properly placed, can save a family $250 annually in energy costs. Trees provide habitat for birds and other wildlife, which maintains a
balance with nature even in urban areas. So, next weekend when there are new fallen leaves in your yard and you must once again put on gloves, pull out the rake and work those
muscles sore, take a moment to look up and thank those trees for all the wonderful benefits they give you, your family and your neighborhood.

“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!
