Mayor David Bower is encouraging residents to participate in Small Business Saturday on November 30, by visiting locally-owned retailers. In 2010, American Express launched the campaign to thrust a day between the big after-Thanksgiving sales and the Cyber Monday business to pump up sales toward small companies. Last year, more than 100 million shoppers turned out for the local sales. “Small Business Saturday allows our residents a chance to support their city by shopping the smaller shops in Raytown.” Bower said. “These businesses are run by local entrepreneurs, friends, families and acquaintances. They should be supported as they keep and spend the dollars that will be used right here in our neighborhoods.” Small businesses employ half of the employees in the private sector in the United States. At about 12:30 pm today, a white Chevy pickup truck that was described as possibly a 2010 model crashed into the front of Fox Drugs. No one inside was injured, but the driver was taken from the scene in an ambulance. One unconfirmed source stated that it may have been a heart attack that caused the loss of control.

Chef Sarah Robinson from Bistro Kids visited students at Norfleet Elementary School to demonstrate how to make green smoothies. Green smoothies are smoothies blended with green leafy vegetables such as spinach, collard greens, and kale. “The demonstration was featured as part of the second grade English Language Arts (ELA) unit titled Growing and Changing,” Principal Lori Kang said. “The engaging scenario and task inspired students to research healthy eating and the importance of a nutritious, well-balanced meal.” Bistro Kids is an organization that provides healthy meals and nutrition education to school districts.
To the Editor:
Congratulations to the Raytown South Cardinals!
As team hosts for the Missouri State High School Boys Soccer Championships in Blue Springs, we had the opportunity to spend time with the soccer players, coaches, cheerleaders and fans from Raytown, MO. These people were distinguished representatives of their community, and you should be proud of the excellent impression they made in Blue Springs.
Congratulations to the town, the high school and most importantly, the TEAM! We hope to see Raytown South back again for future soccer championships.
Sincerely,
Steve and Laura Cook

Raytown, MO Police Department Joins National Crackdown To Reduce Drunk Driving Fatalities ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ Campaign Will Target Drunk Drivers Raytown, MO – From mid-December through New Year’s Day, local police will be out in force as part of the annual nationwide “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” crackdown on drunk driving. The crackdown, will include high-visibility enforcement throughout the Kansas City Metro area and will run from December 13 through January 2, 2014. The effective nationwide drunk driving crackdown will include high-visibility enforcement, high-profile events, and will be supported by national paid advertising, creating a comprehensive campaign to curb drunk driving over the winter holidays. Raytown Police said its Officers will be aggressively looking for drunk drivers during the crackdown and will arrest anyone caught driving drunk. Although it is illegal in all 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, to drive drunk (having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher), far too many people across the nation get behind the wheel after consuming too much alcohol. The latest statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration underscore the serious nature of the nation’s continuing drunk driving epidemic. Every year, about one third of all motor vehicle traffic deaths involve one or more impaired drivers or motorcycle operators according to National Highway Traffic Safety. In 2012, 230 people died in Missouri crashes involving impaired drivers. That works out to approximately one impaired driving fatality every 1 ½ days.” State Senator Kiki Curls, who represents a large portion of Raytown, was the featured speaker at the Raytown Democratic Associations November meeting. Senator Curls spent a major portion of her presentaion taking questions from the audience.
Jackson County Sheriff Mike Sharp also spoke to the group on unified dispatch, the new radio system, CSI needs and the replacement of an automated licence plate scanner.
Raytown South boys soccer had a great season and made it to the Final Four in the post season tourneyment. That season ended today with a 2 to 0 loss to Carthage at the Blue Springs South High School field.
