Raytown School District press conference on Winchester TIFPosted by Michael Downing in Events, Informative, Raytown School District The Raytown School District will host a press conference/rally on Wednesday, December 19 at 5:00 p.m. at the Raytown Schools Education and Conference Center, 10750 E. 350 Highway. The purpose of the rally is to offer information regarding a proposed Sixth Amendment to the Winchester TIF established in 1991 by the city of Kansas City, which is set to use a surplus of millions of TIF monies to fund a soccer complex in Swope Park. The District believes this is an attempt to divert millions of potential education dollars away from Raytown and also negatively impacts other taxing jurisdictions which provide services for libraries, mental health needs, and for the blind.
The Raytown School District is specifically opposed to the Sixth Amendment, as it believes:
*A complete copy of the legal objections filed with the TIF Commission is available upon request.
The Raytown clock in the mini park on 63rd Street was demolished by a car driving where cars are not suppose to go. It has been replaced and looks very nice again.

My Moms cat wandered out of the house yesterday afternoon as I was taking her to the doctor! He is a beautiful black and white tuxedo cat named Mr. Mittens. Near the 6400 block of Blue Ridge Blvd. down the street from Blue Ridge Elementary….
Mittens has has white paws and white on his chest. The picture below is not of him but he looks almost exactly like this. Mittens is an indoor cat, no collar (since he never usually goes outside!) he is neutered but not declawed. My mom has patio doors he loves to look out of so he may be drawn to patio doors or screen doors thinking he is home. This is my elderly mothers companion and I really want to find him and bring him home to her as she is racked with worry for his well-being. Please if you see him and can grab him, do so! People drive like nuts up and down her street and Im afraid he will get hit. =( You may contact me either by Facebooks message system or by telephone/ text at 816-813-3411 and ask for Debbie. Thank You!!!

A semi cab jumped the curb at Raytown Road and 350 Highway Saturday afternoon. We have not seen rain like this in so long, some of us may have forgotten how to drive on wet pavement. Be careful out there!

The RaytownOnline.com computer is in the house. There was some loss of emails sent in June. If you do not see a submission you sent as an email in June, you may need to resend it. RaytownOnline is not yet back to full speed. Many of the tools used to create and edit photos and video need to be re-installed. This has caused a delay in posting the Shepherd’s Center Garden Tour photos and videos.

For more on this story click HERE to read the Kansas City Star article.  Carl Krogh and Kristl Stansbury are extremely excited to announce their engagement! From the moment that we met there was a connection there. We could be 900 miles apart and know what the other was thinking or finish each others sentences. The emptiness that we both felt for so long was gaped and is just something natural rather than something tried! We have 5 beautiful children, Victoria-9, JC-10, Jacob-10, Hailey-12 and Destiny-12 who blend as if they were always meant to be! I don’t know who said fairy tales are only in the movies, but they were wrong! On April 6th, 2013 we will marry our best friends at the Bear Creek Bed & Breakfast in Walnut Shade, Missouri!
