Raytown Chamber Celebrates 85 Years On November 16, 1929, the Raytown Commercial Club incorporated after organizing in March of 1925. Back then, dues were 10 cents a week or a one-time payment of 50 cents for
one year. The club started out with three committees: Bylaws, Membership and Publicity. Electricity, telephones and transportation were critical to the
molished on the 5600 square foot lot that was converted to a park now known as Pocket Park and ownership was transferred to the City of Raytown in 2002.
ments include a map of downtown Raytown in 1920 and a 1926 report on the success of the second Raytown Fair that netted $5.55 “despite we were rained out on the second day” and the decision to advertise in the Kansas City Star for a printer to establish a newspaper. At one time, the women were
was also the same year in July that it first organized its membership to buy tickets to the Royals game. But “Raytown Night at the Royals” did not become an annual tradition until 1992 when chamber member, the late Cass Cassing, became a Kansas City Royals Lancer. The Chamber has had only

new businesses moving to the area that was considered a village. The club collected enough pledges in 1926 to put up twelve streetlights along 63rd Street. A whole lot has happened since the village struggled to grow into an incorporated City as recorded in decades of board minutes and supporting documents that were recently turned over to the Raytown Historical Society archives. Early docu-

Today, Loretha Hayden, is not only the first African-American but is the eighth woman to serve as Chair of the Board in its 85 years. In 1974, the Chamber voted to adopt the school district’s boundaries as its service territory and officially changed its name to the Raytown Area Chamber of Commerce. That

four different homes during its lifetime. Thanks to a mortgage burning drive in the 1990s, the chamber has a permanent home at 5909 Raytown Trafficway. The names of all those who contributed to that effort are memorialized on a plaque in the lobby. As a step towards downtown renewal, the Chamber bought the property where Dick’s Root Beer stood at 63rd and Raytown Road in 1998. The stand was de-
The Raytown Roundup days of the past were sponsored by the Chamber with a focus on local businesses but over the years it evolved into a community event that required fundraising by the 501(c)6 organization. Today the Chamber sponsors the annual Raytown Night at the Mavericks, Raytown Night at the Royals, Chamber and Raytown Rotary Club Golf Tournament and the State of the City Luncheon. For the past eight years, Vicki Turnbow has been the President of the Chamber. Kyle Phillips and Vicki who both grew up in Raytown are the only paid staff

Under Vicki’s leadership, the Raytown chamber rivals any of the larger chambers in the area by offering a myriad of support resources and opportunities for networking, promotions and learning. Today, Chamber membership includes 276 nonprofit organizations, businesses and individuals that add up to 405 individual members strong and is living up o its mission to “support our business community to enhance the quality of life for our citizens”.

Second Annual Tire And Pink Roses From wrenching to rubber, they’ve got your car covered
Brian’s Car Care celebrated it’s Second Annual Tire and Pink Roses Event on October 24, 2014. Owners Brian and Peggy Johnson got their inspiration for the event because October is both National Breast Cancer Awareness and Fall Car Care month. Customers brought in
their cars for free courtesy checks and were invited to a raffle benefit to raise money for the Art Bra KC foundation that provides financial assistance to breast cancer patients who are not insured or under insured. The first 100 women received a pink rose. Raffle winners won a
pair of Mastercraft tires, front-end alignments, oil changes and more. “I’m a cancer survivor since 2006. Our raffle raised $800. I considered another charity but chose Art Bra KC because all the money stays in the area,” said Peggy. Brian’s Car Care located at 6331 Raytown Rd. has been in business for 19 years serving the automotive needs of Ray-
town and the surrounding area. Brian taught engine repair for years before opening his own shop and employs only ASE- and ASA-certified mechanics. What sets them apart from other repair shops is the showroom of competitively priced tires with the best tire brands, like Goodyear, Cooper, Bridgestone, and Mastercraft. How do they compete against the big box stores? “We offered tires from the beginning because our customers expected it. This used to be a tire store so we were happy to continue to serve the tire and wheel needs of our cus-

Charitable Giving Pays Off…For Everyone By Kevin T. Carpenter, AAMS® Americans are pretty generous — in fact, 83% of us donated money to charitable organizations last year, according to a Gallup survey. And now that we’re entering the holiday season, charitable giving well may be on your mind. Your key motivation for making charitable gifts, of course, is to help those organizations whose work is meaningful to you. However, by supporting these groups, you can also make life less “taxing” for yourself. Specifically, by making charitable contributions, you may be able to receive
some valuable tax breaks. To claim a deduction, though, you need to itemize your taxes, and you need to make sure that the organization you’re supporting is qualified, from a tax-deductibility standpoint. If you’re unsure whether a group is qualified, just ask to see its letter from the IRS. (Many organizations now post these letters on their websites.) Here’s how the charitable tax deduction works: If you give $200 to a qualified charity, and you’re in the 25% tax bracket, you can deduct $200, with a tax benefit of $50, when you file your 2014 taxes. Consequently, the net “cost” of your donation is just $150 ($200 minus the $50
tax savings). Of course, you are not confined to making cash gifts. In fact, if you donate certain types of noncash assets, you may be able to increase your tax benefits. Suppose you give $1,000 worth of stock in ABC Company to a charitable group. If you’re in the 25% bracket, you’ll be able to deduct $250 when you file your taxes. And by donating the ABC stock, you can avoid paying the capital gains taxes that would be due if you had eventually sold the stock yourself. Keep in mind that if you want to deduct your contributions for the 2014 tax year, you’ll need to make your gifts by Dec. 31. One more
reminder: Retain your paperwork. If you made gifts totaling over $250 to any single charity — or noncash contributions of any items worth over $500 — the IRS requires written acknowledgments for your contributions. If you want to take a longer-term approach to charitable giving, while incorporating your gifts in planning for your estate, you might want to consider establishing a charitable remainder trust. Under this arrangement, you’d place some assets, such as stocks or real estate, into a trust, which could then use these assets to pay you a lifetime income stream. When you establish the trust,
you may be able to receive an immediate tax deduction based on the charitable group’s “remainder interest” — the amount the charity is likely to ultimately receive. (This figure is determined by an IRS formula.) Upon your death, the trust would relinquish the remaining assets to the charitable organization you’ve named. This type of trust can be complex, so to create one, you’ll need to work with your tax and legal advisors. While the tax benefits associated with charitable giving are significant, they should not, ultimately, drive your gifting decisions. You should also consider the effect your gift will have on
the other areas of your estate considerations — so make sure you communicate your plans to your family members. In any case, though, be as generous as you can this holiday season and in the years to come. Your generosity will be a rewarding experience — for everyone. This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Edward Jones, its employees and financial advisors are not estate planners and cannot provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your attorney or qualified tax advisor regarding your situation.
Kansas City Region Responds, Launches “KC Rising” To Strengthen Regional Economy The Kansas City region’s business, civic and government leaders are launching KC Rising that is initially focused on building capacity within three economic drivers: globally competitive sectors, innovation and entrepreneurship, and human capital. The planning process will be completed in three phases with regular reporting to the community: Issue Definition and Vision Setting; Strategy Prioritization and Development; and Plan Roll Out. “While many of our peer cities have bounced back from the Great Recession, the KC region is not keeping up – and the gap is growing,” said KC Rising Co-Chair Scott Smith, former CEO of HNTB Infrastructure. “Now is the time for a sustainable,
strategic vision for the economic future of our entire KC region … we are all in this together.” KC Rising is a strategic, business-led, long-term vision that is global in perspective and regional in focus. This community initiative is focused on three measurable outcomes: • High growth in the Kansas City region’s Gross Metropolitan Product • High-paying and sustainable, quality jobs • A thriving innovation and business-creation environment “A recent Brookings Report made it clear the KC region must be better positioned for success in the areas of job growth, global market share and commercialization,” said KC Rising
Co-Chair Doug Girod, executive vice chancellor at the University of Kansas Medical Center. “We are kicking things off today and realize the tremendous task ahead of us. I am confident that the promise of KC Rising will become a reality.” Groups comprised of business and civic leadership from across the two-state region will support, implement and sustain this collaborative initiative. KC Rising is led by a 15 member steering committee with input on the development of strategies led by work groups focused on the initial three economic drivers. Mayor David Bower of Raytown is one of 15 to serve on the committee. KC Rising is supported by active engagement of the leadership and staff of

Clark’s Appliances Is The Best Buy In Town By Lisa Bankston I am truly a bad neighbor! I have lived in Raytown for thirty-two years and driven down 63rd street thousands of times. I’ve eaten at Wendy’s and stared at the Clark’s Appliances sign more times than I care to share, yet I’ve never gone in. How many times have we heard the phrase, “Shop Locally” and on the news we are told small businesses need our business to stay alive. Well wake up Raytown, we have one of the best “small business” appliance stores in the entire area right here in our hometown. When I walked into Clark’s Appliances I was greeted by Richard who has work there for nine years. He had no idea why I was there but he was extremely friendly and sincere. I was there to interview Pam Clark and as I waited for her, I started looking around. Now I’m a frugal buyer so I was immediately drawn to the pricing of refrigerators, stoves, washer/dryers, every
major appliance in the store and they were GE products. The store may look small from the street, but it is wide open and has a fantastic selection. And guess what, you do not have to run around a huge “Big Box” store looking for someone to help you or find a person who knows anything about major appliances. I learned more in thirty minutes at Clark’s than I ever did at those so called “home improvement centers” that sell everything from grass seed to toilet seats. Quentin Clark opened his Raytown appliance store in 1957. This family business is now owned by his daughter, Pam Clark, who works in the store everyday. She informed me that many of their customer base is third generation shoppers. She knows that if “number one family member is happy, then the rest of the kids, grandkids and assorted relatives will come back again and again.” Another fabulous part of purchasing a major appliance from Clark’s is their excellent service.
They personally deliver your appliance, install it and only leave when you are 100% happy. They also specialize in “built in” installation, where as “Big Box” must call outside carpenters for this work which can add outrageous costs to the buyer. And guess what, if you have any problems or questions, you can call Clark’s Appliances directly and talk to a real and a knowledgeable person! None of this speaking to a computer or being put on hold for thirty minutes waiting for a teenage service rep in Buffalo, New York or overseas. Clark’s service department is right there in the store! I was also impressed that Clark’s Appliances not only carries parts for the appliances they sell but also for most major brands. “If we don’t have it here, we can order it and we service any brand.” So isn’t it time you “Think Raytown First.” Go find out what other people have known for years and I’m sure you will be thrilled as I
was to discover Clark’s Appliances. Their address is: 9715 E. 63rd Street, just west of the
63rd and Raytown Road intersection. You can park right in front of the store or find more parking in
the back. They have been our Raytown neighbor Continued on page 8

My wife, Karen, and I became involved with the Raytown Community Interfaith Alliance (RCIFA) shortly after 9/11 when Rev. Kevin Cameron of Ivanhoe Church invited Karen to participate in the RCIFA Thanksgiving Service. To this day, I don’t know how Kevin became aware of our presence in Raytown. Kevin has since relocated but we are very grateful to him for inviting us to participate. With Kevin’s invitation Karen and I, as members of the Bahá’í Faith, were warmly welcomed as the first nonChristian RCIFA members and I have had the honor of being the first non-Christian RCIFA chairperson. I discovered when the Interfaith Alliance began it was originally the Raytown Minister’s Alliance. While I don’t know its full history, at some point, this organization wanted to increase its diversity and changed the name to the Raytown Community Interfaith Alliance. One of the consequences of this decision was that a number of churches dropped their membership. The regular monthly meetings take place over lunch and one individual has been quoted as saying, “I just can’t bring myself to break bread with a non-Christian.” Several years ago, the RCIFA Thanksgiving Service was held at Southwood United Christian Church during a raging snowstorm. Karen and I would have to leave immediately after our part in the service to drive to CMSU to pick up our son. When my turn came to offer a prayer, I choked back tears as I told the audience how grateful I was that, years ago, a group of ministers took the step to reach out to people of other faiths. Without their courage, my wife and I would not have been welcome on this occasion to join in giving thanks to God for all of our blessings. I am also thankful that God works in mysterious ways. Several churches have not yet chosen to join RCIFA but still work closely with the Alliance; churches such as Graceway and Barker Memorial Cathedral of Praise who are integral to the RCIFA Martin Luther King celebrations and First Baptist Raytown who hosted the
2014 RCIFA Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast and I extend my gratitude to them as well. The RCIFA has great hopes for improving the cohesiveness of our city. Members of the Alliance offer the invocations at the Raytown Board of Aldermen meetings. RCIFA sponsors the annual Martin Luther King Celebration and the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast. We are currently organizing a Raytown Faith Directory and inclusion does not require RCIFA membership. There have been many changes in our membership over the years, ministers having transferred in or out of Raytown. Karen and I want to take this opportunity to again thank all of those, past and present, who have welcomed Bahá’í participation. RCIFA welcomes all congregations and individual members of every faith. We would love to see our fellow Jewish, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh residents come together with the RCIFA to help Raytown become a truly warm, welcoming community that we all can all take pride in. I would be remiss if I did not also express my gratitude for the courtesy of Diane Krizek, editor of the Raytown Brookings Eagle, for graciously inviting the RCIFA to submit a monthly article. As the current chairperson of RCIFA, I join with all our members to invite you to participate in the Raytown Community Interfaith Alliance Thanksgiving Service on Monday, November 24 at 7: 00 p.m. at REAP, 9300 E. 75th St. Everyone is welcome. This is a devotional service not a dinner. The price of admission is a bag of canned or nonperishable food items as a contribution to REAP, our effort to help our needy Raytown area residents. And, if you don’t have a bag of groceries, please come anyway. No one will notice anything but the fact that you cared enough to come. Contact the Alliance at rcifa99@gmail.com or call me at 816-304-5373. We also have a Facebook page. “Consort with the followers of all religions in a spirit of friendliness and fellowship.” (Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 94)

The day was June 6, 1989, but not 100% sure of the year but it’s close enough. LLOYD LINDROTH was tuning up his harp over and over to be certain it was in perfect pitch. Today was Lindroth’s birthday, which didn’t mean much to him. His focus was entirely on the day he was to spend with the incomparable, charming and accomplished the Lady of Country Music, the Queen herself, Loretta Lynn, Lindroth’s favorite person of all. “I want her autograph on this music book I purchased at Ernest Tubb’s Record Shop in Nashville”, he said like a little boy who was about to meet his first celebrity. Lloyd Lindroth had met, in person, the likes of Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Pearl Bailey, Liberace and hundreds of others and never once had asked for an autograph except for two Presidents at the White House. Lloyd had purchased a music book of Loretta’s music at the local Ernest Tubb Record Shop in Nashville earlier in the day just for this occasion. He couldn’t wait to hand it to Loretta to sign it for him, just like a little child, and she gladly wrote a long handwritten personal message in it just for him. I had set up an arrangement where Loretta
Obituaries Marshall Ray Brown Marshall Ray Brown, 65, Lake Worth TX, blessed husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle went home to his Lord Jesus on the Marine Corps birthday, Monday, November 10, 2014. Funeral took place November 18 at Biggers Funeral Chapel. Inurnment: Shannon Rose Hill Memorial Park, Visitation took place November 17 at Biggers Funeral Home. Marshall fought a courageous battle with acute pancreatitis for 14 weeks. He happily celebrated his birthday with his family on November 9. Marshall was born in Kansas City, MO, on November 9, 1949, to Cecil Frederick and Viola Berniece Odom Brown. Marshall attended East High School in Kansas City and joined the United States Marine Corps in
1966, serving in Viet Nam from 1967-1968. Sgt. Brown was awarded 2 Purple Hearts and many other commendations, receiving an honorable discharge in 1970. Marshall also served in the Reserves after returning home. Marshall worked with his older brothers for the Brown Fence Company in Missouri. He was Parks and Recreation Director for the City of Justin, Sports Director for the Northwest YMCA, and taught in various positions at several local schools for many years. Marshall was best known for his untiring officiating of all sports in the surrounding communities and volunteering in many capacities for the students of the Lake Worth schools. Marshall volunteered to coach in all of his children’s sports leagues, being a father and mentor to children all over
Lynn met Lindroth at the location where he was performing in the Cascades of The Opryland Hotel. He was the main attraction performing in front of the Internationally Famous Dancing Waters and a Laser Light show twice nightly, six nights per week to 5000 at each performance. Standing room only and standing ovations at every performance. Lynn and Lindroth, the four L’s as I referred to them in my mind because both their names began with an L. The billing fit like a glove. The arrangement was for Lynn and Lindroth to represent the United States of America in a TV special to be aired around the globe. Itzhak Perlman represented the West Coast for the USA. Lindroth said, as he descended the long and winding staircase of the conservatory portion of that hotel going into the Cascades area, “wow, l can’t believe the number of large cameras being used for this and look at the tracks”. He meant the railroad-like tracks that the cameraman with their cameras use to travel around the staging area where Loretta Lynn and Lloyd Lindroth were to film this special. There were four large cameras along with photographers, makeup personnel and wardrobe staff, catering folks, etc. When filming began around 10:30 a.m., the director first focused on the two of them at the harp to get a view of what it would look like, color wise, effects, etc. Then Loretta was directed to meander down below the waterfall that cascaded fifty feet into the air where one could walk under it and be surrounded by dozens of flowers and plants. As beautiful a scene as one could imagine.

He was a very giving man, of his time and talents. Marshall graduated from Tarrant County Junior College in 1978 and North Texas State University in 1990. Marshall was a member of First Baptist Church of Lake Worth and also attended First Baptist Church of Lakeside. He will be missed until we all meet in heaven.

Hereford House, Steaks Are Their Specialty By George Michaud For a Wednesday night this eatery was busier than I expected but we got lucky and found a parking spot right at the front entrance, maybe twenty-feet away. On a cold night it was a welcomed sight. Entering the Hereford House seemed like I was entering a museum. The outside entranceway between the cold outside and the warm inside is wide and has the feel of a museumlike look even with a bronze statue (very large one) to the right side. Western Art paintings and prints adorn the walls throughout the restaurant complete with steer antlers. I was greeted by a smiling “Matt S” who was very helpful answering many of my annoying questions. He found us a table right next to the newly lit fireplace. A neatly dressed man by the name of Barry Taylor came by to say hello and let us know he was the floor manager. I watched Barry throughout the night stay busy seeing to it that lots of little things were tended to throughout the restaurant. Then we were greeted by smiling Jennifer Garrison of Independence. She did a great job taking care of us with hardly any room to spare between the fireplace and our table. I ordered their “Knife and Fork Caesar Salad” at $7.95 and their “full
Jessica at Hereford House slab of St. Louis style HH Hereford House Pork Ribs glazed with barbeque sauce at $29.95. My two friends ordered the 16 oz. Prime Rib at $32.95 and the HH Kansas City Strip 16 oz. at $41.95. They ordered two orders of French fries and a side of mashed potatoes a’ la carte. By the time I got through my Caesar salad, cutting through it with the knife and fork, I was not too happy. The dressing was not even close to the flavor of a true Caesar salad, seemed too much mayonnaise. Before Jennifer could deliver my rib platter and the other two entrées, all three of us were getting drowsy, headachy and the youngest was nearly asleep with her head down on the table. We attributed it to a long day and the warmth of the fireplace. I began to enjoy my ribs
when suddenly I got the shocker of my life after dipping one of the ribs into their sauce. I thought it was additional barbeque sauce but it was the hottest, tangiest flavor I’ve ever been introduced to. I immediately started drinking water, glass after glass. That woke me up. I asked the waitress if that sauce was normal and she said that sometimes the chef gets it a little on the hot side. Of course this ruined the rest of my meal regardless of what I tried. I think it should be mandatory that establishments warn guests in advance that the sauces might be too hot for ones palate. Jennifer said she would tell management. The following evening, I finished my ribs at home, sans that hot sauce, and was pleased with the flavor and the quality of beef used by the Hereford House, which is definitely prime beef. And it should be at their prices. The K C Strip was cooked to perfection, as well as the prime rib both tender, juicy and great flavor. We rushed Jennifer toward the end of our meal as we were all falling asleep and wanted to get out into fresh air. I ordered a dessert to take home called their Chocolate Tower Cake which
is a rich chocolate cake layered with chocolate mousse, topped with chocolate ganache, served with caramel and chocolate sauce with a
touch of whipped cream and a cherry. I tasted the dessert the following evening but it wasn’t anything to write home about.
We attributed the sleepiness and headaches to the fireplace, which must have

Hereford House continued from page 7 had carbon monoxide spewing from it since we were so close. It may have been the first time the fireplace had been lit this season. That’s all we could think of. Add that to the extreme hot sauce I got with my ribs then you can see why what could have been a nice evening out was ruined for me. My friend called the restaurant the next afternoon to report the fireplace and the hot sauce and a person named Jackie, the daytime floor manager, answered the phone. She was not at all receptive to neither the complaint nor the call. She shuffled him off the phone as though she was too busy to talk about it. My friend wasn’t happy with the way it was handled and he is a top regular customer of this establishment. I have no complaints about the service nor the quality of beef used there. No complaints with the way the beef is cooked. Only major
complaint is that sauce that took me for a ride I didn’t expect and ruined my meal. Add the fireplace debacle and one may not wish to return to this restaurant. However, the Hereford House has been around for quite some time and their customers like it a lot. I’m merely reporting exactly what happened with me and how it was handled. Every restaurant can have a bad night with one problem or another. There are a number of wonderful private dining rooms throughout the restaurant of varied sizes seating from what I could see six to 12. I would rate this dining experience a 3 and a half out of five. This Hereford House restaurant is located at 19721 E Jackson Drive, Independence. Call 816.795.9200 for reservations, which is suggested. Attire is dressy to casual class. George Michaud has written reviews for many publications, mainly on the West Coast for theater, live music and was a restaurant critic.
