Topic: Proposed Quik Trip Expansion

We will have a discussion at this meeting, mod-erated by Mary Jo Draper, about the proposed Quik Trip expansion project on Westport Road. Representatives of the project will be Andrew Smith, QT Real Estate Project Manager, and attorney Patricia Jensen of White Goss. Gerald Williams, Fourth District Lead Planner, will rep-resent the City Planning and Development De-partment.

No Fireworks in the Park! Westwood Park will once again be patrolled during the July 4 holiday to enforce KCMO Ordinance Section

26-3309.1, which prohibits possession and/or use of fireworks. Notices will be posted around the perimeter of the park. Fireworks will be subject to confiscation, and violators will be subject to arrest. Have a safe and peaceful holiday, everyone.

No act of kindness, No matter how small, Is ever wasted.

—Aesop’s Fables

What’s Your Hurry? Our neighborhood has a lot of non-automobile traffic: pe-destrians, runners, dogs and their humans, children, bicy-clists, and skateboarders.

We also have a lot of pass-through traffic from the Plaza

to State Line, from 47th Street to Westport Road. Speeding is a problem, especially on 45th Street (where Purple Dragon Daycare sits at the top of the hill) and on 47th Street, where the hilly terrain is no obstacle to drivers who want to get to their destination as quickly as possible.

The WPNA is working to find solutions to the problem of speeders in the neighborhood. If you have suggestions or want to work with us, please contact us through the website, West-plaza.org, or through Facebook, West Plaza Neighborhood Association-Discussion Group. ■

Towed Away! by Hilary Noonan

This past winter my car was towed by the city. I thought the car had been stolen. It was here when I left town for a conference, and it was gone when I came back. I’ve been through a couple rounds of Tow Jeopardy with the city now. I have received conflicting information from residents—and even officials—on parking code in Kansas City, so I was determined to get the real scoop on how and why cars are towed in the neighborhood and how I can avoid being towed again.

I spoke with a number of people in the KCMO Po-lice Department and eventually got a call back from the head of Parking Control in the PD. (This is a different department than Parking Services, which is under Public Works and deals with city-owned garages and parking meters from the downtown area south to 31st Street.) There is a 27-year-old law on the books that was enacted to deal with abandoned vehicles and junkers that rust in place, although the KCPD hasn’t always had the staff to enforce the ordinance. No car, whether working or not, can be in the same on-street parking place for more than 48 hours. It doesn’t matter if the car is in front of your property; it simply can’t be in the same space for more than 48 hours.

There are two ways a car can come to the atten-tion of Parking Control: 1) A resident can report a car they think might have been abandoned by calling 311; or 2) the car may be identified by a Parking Control Officer. When Parking Control drives through a neighborhood, they look at vehi-cles that are parked on the street. If they return a day or two later and see the car in the same place, they chalk the tire. If the chalk mark is still on the tire the next day, they put a sticker on the rear window stating the car will be towed in 48 hours if it is not moved. If the car is not moved, it is towed, and it runs $500 or so to get it back. It might be less than this if you get the car out of the tow lot faster, but my son was in Vermont, and that’s what his dad had to pay to get his car back.

If you are going out of town for more than 24 hours, it’s a good idea to find an off-street parking space or get a neighbor to keep an eye on your car and watch for chalk marks and tow stickers. Leave the keys with the neighbor so they can drive your car if the tire is chalked. I was informed that if you drive the car around the block, the chalk comes off.

I think it’s a good idea to have a law on the books that can help neighborhoods keep cars from becoming rusted hulks on the street. It would be unfortunate if we all had to pave our backyards for parking to avoid being towed if we ever go out of town. There must be a happy medium. ■

Sewer Line Coverage by Margie Richcreek

Are you financially prepared to repair the out-side water and/or sewer lines that run from your home to the main line? If you have recently moved to Kansas City or are a first-time home-owner, you might not be aware that you would be financially responsible for such repairs.

Many factors other than the life expectancy of the pipe can contribute to a sewer or waterline clog or failure, including tree root intrusion, ground shifting, and weather. These are usually emergency repairs that must be handled imme-diately and can be costly.

In 2013, Kansas City began offering coverage for outside water and/or sewer line repairs to homeowners through the service line warranty program endorsed by the National League of Cities and administered by Service Line War-ranties of America (SLWA).

More than 270 cities in 34 states offer this ser-vice through the league. Over 12,000 Kansas City homeowners have signed up for this ser-vice that provides a 24/7 repair line and the use of licensed and thoroughly researched local contractors, which keeps dollars in the local economy.

The annual cost of this coverage is $73 (sewer line only) $47 (water line, too) for a total cost of $120. The coverage is effective as soon as you enroll and provides $4,000 coverage per inci-dent, with an additional $4,000 for street or sidewalk cutting if needed, with no annual cap.

For questions about this service or to enroll, contact Service Line Warranties of America at 866-922-9006 or visit www.SLWofA.com ■ Sources: KC Star (4/25/16) “Water, sewer line coverage in KC in homeowners’ interest, “ As I See It, by John Sharp, former KC Council member; City of Kansas City website (5/8/14) “Homeowners may sign up for water and sewer line protection.”

Looking Back: Movies in West Plaza by Joe Montanari

The very first motion picture or “movie” was filmed in 1894. Only a few seconds long, the film showed workers leaving the Lumiere Brothers’ factory in Lyon, France at the end of the workday. For the next ten years, inventors in France, Eng-land, and here in the U.S. competed feverishly to improve the new technology that made still photo-graphs come to life. People were so fascinated by this new phenomenon that they lined up at “nickelodeons” for a chance to see a short view of nothing more exciting than a troop of soldiers marching down the street. The “movies” had come to town.

By 1910, when short “one-reelers” became avail-able, neighborhood movie theaters began to spring up. Kansas City soon boasted more than 100 venues all over town. The 1920s were the heyday of movie theater construction, with Kan-sas City’s Boller Brothers leading the way. In-stead of simple screening rooms, Boller theaters were nothing short of palatial. Perhaps the most glamorous one still standing in Kansas City is the Midland at 13th and Main, which boasted 3,573 plush velvet seats and a nursery for the children. Built in 1927 for the staggering sum of $4 million, the Midland was so elegant that its marble rest-rooms had oil paintings on the walls. The films were silent, but for the average Joe or Joan, who had never been more than 50 miles away from home, the experience was transformational.

In 1927, Al Jolson’s “Jazz Singer” was the first “talkie,” featuring a sound track. This new technol-ogy required expensive retrofitting of the older theaters. One of the first “modern” theaters built for sound, West Plaza’s own Westport Theatre opened in 1931 at 1300 Westport Road, where Quik Trip is now located. Eight hundred patrons packed the house to see Bela Lugosi in “Dracula,” Boris Karloff in “Frankenstein,” and the Marx Brothers in “Monkey Business.” The Westport thrived through World War II and beyond. In 1955 the newly air-conditioned theater was renamed the “Glen” and featured James Dean in “Rebel without a Cause,” Marilyn Monroe in “The Seven-Year Itch,” and Walt Disney’s “Lady and the Tramp.”

By the late ’50’s, most homes had television, and drive-in theaters and changing lifestyles were

Bees Have Come to West Plaza! by Russell Correll

On Sunday, May 30, bees came to the West Plaza Organic Garden. All our plants, as well as those in the surrounding neighborhood, will be properly pollinated. Our food supply depends on the pollinators. Tommy Hester, who lives next door to the garden, has taken on the responsibility of beekeeper. Our hive contains around 10,000 bees now, but as they get established, the number will increase dramatically. There is one queen, whose job is to lay eggs and ensure the continuity of the colony. There are a hundred or so drones (males). Their job is to be on hand in the unlikely case a new queen needs to be fertilized. They eat, loaf, and generally do nothing. The balance of the colony are worker bees, females whose reproductive systems are incomplete, who have a very regi-mented life. The queen attendants only care for the queen, being sure she is fed and groomed to lay eggs. The guard or sentry bees are responsi-ble for hive security. Woe be to any rodent or in-sect that is curious. The balance of the workers (probably 90%) go to our garden and the commu-nity in search of pollen and nectar. During the first year, the bees’ first tasks are to get oriented, arrange their colony (their home), and store enough honey to get them through the winter. It’s unlikely there will be any excess honey for us to enjoy. Bees are a lot like us—they’re very territorial. If you respect the space around the hive, problems will be rare. You can quietly approach and ob-serve. As the population grows and the summer heat increases, you’ll see them “lying out” on the bottom board and the front of the hive, fanning vigorously with their wings to cool and ventilate the hive and help cure the green honey. As the owner of the property at 4607 Liberty, I have derived so much pleasure from seeing the garden grow, I felt the bees would be a “thank you” to the community. I hope you enjoy them and perhaps feel motivated to learn more about them and do what you can to help them thrive. Bee science can be taken casually or can be pur-sued as an avocation or as a full time career in the production of honey or in bee culture. You can learn more about bees at scientificbeekeeping.com. And you’re welcome to come by the garden any time to visit the bees. ■ (continued on p. 4)

FORKS & RAKES by Stephanie Murrell

Luscious Lemon Delight This is one of my family’s favorite desserts that we’ve enjoyed for decades. For those who fear the lemon, this is not a “tart” lemon dessert; it is delicate, decadent, and a must-try!

Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup plus 2T chopped pecans, divided 8T (1 stick) butter, softened 1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened 1 cup confectioners’ sugar 1 8-oz tub Cool Whip topping, thawed, divided 2 3.4-oz packages lemon instant pudding mix 2 2/3 cups milk Directions Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Combine flour, 1/2 cup pecans, and butter in a medium bowl and mix well. Press onto the bottom of an 11 x 8-inch baking dish. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Let stand to cool.

Place cream cheese in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until fluffy. Add confectioners’ sugar and beat until mixture is light and fluffy.

Add 1 cup whipped topping to cream cheese mix-ture and fold in gently. Spread over cooled crust.

Combine pudding mix and milk in a medium bowl. Beat until thickened. Spread on top of cream cheese layer and top with the remaining whipped topping. Sprinkle with remaining pe-cans. Chill, covered, for 1 hour. Store leftovers (if there are any!) in the refrigerator. ■

Summer in the City If you have lived in Kansas City for any length of time, you know that our summers can be bru-tal. According to the American Red Cross, ex-cessive heat has caused more deaths in recent years than all other weather events. The elderly are especially at risk during the hot summer months, which is why it is extremely important that you take precautions if you are elderly or have an elderly neighbor, friend, or loved one.

The following are a few tips from the American Red Cross that we can all follow to remain safe this summer:

• Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water, even if you are not thirsty. Avoid drinks with caf-feine or alcohol.

• Stay indoors during extreme heat and hu-midity and limit exposure to the sun. Wear a wide-brimmed hat if you will be out and about.

• Dress in loose-fitting and light-weight cloth-ing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays.

• Avoid extreme temperature changes.

• Eat well-balanced, light, and regular meals.

• Never leave a person or an animal alone in an enclosed vehicle.

• Keep shades or curtains closed during the heat of the day.

• If you start to feel sick due to heat, seek medical help immediately.

• Frequently check on your elderly neighbors, friends, or loved ones who do not have air conditioning and/or who spend much of their time alone.

• Use a fan, even if you have air conditioning, to keep the air circulating.

For more than 20 years, the Salvation Army’s “Fan Club” has helped provide fans to low-income families during the summer, and air conditioners for those who are medically frag-ile. If you would like to make a donation of a new fan, a window air conditioning unit, or cash, please find out how via this link: http://salarmymokan.org/emergency-disaster/fan-club/ ■

drawing crowds to the suburbs. I’m not sure when the Glen closed for good, but it had long been vacant when I arrived in West Plaza in 1972. In the early ’80’s, Pat Shaughnessy bought the old building and operated the Olde Theatre Architec-tural Salvage Co. there, until the building caught fire in 1984.

Thinking about Remodeling? by Steve Tate

Remodeling is one of the hottest activities in real estate right now. Some people remodel in preparation for selling their homes, while others just want to make their home more livable. Bathrooms continue to be the number one re-modeling project, followed closely by kitchens. Some of the projects are quite large, as more people build additions or remodel their entire home.

There are a variety reasons for remodeling. A homeowner may want to upgrade their kitchen with new cabinets and granite counter tops. Others want to change out the ugly bathroom tile. Some want to avoid the expense and has-sle of moving, so they add a room or finish a basement instead. To finance remodels, home-owners are dipping into home equity, maxing out credit cards, and even taking money out of retirement accounts.

In my opinion, if you think you will be moving in the next couple of years, your best move is to do the remodel now rather than waiting to do it a couple of months before listing the home for sale. That way you can enjoy the remodel for a few years, and when it comes time to sell, you will just need to spruce up your relatively newly remodeled home.

Studies consistently show these strategies pro-vide the best return on your remodeling invest-ment:

• Improving energy efficiency • Using good quality materials but not the

highest quality • Installing low-maintenance improvements • Keeping your costs reasonable Right now, home prices are going up and home inventory is low, and there is no reason to think it is going to slow down any time soon. ■

Fourth District PIAC Hearing by Margie Richcreek

A portion of Kansas City’s capital budget is ear-marked for neighborhood and city-wide public im-provements. These funds are allocated by the Public Improvement Advisory Committee (PIAC). Public hearings will be held this summer across the city so the Committee and Council can hear citizens’ views about the city’s public improve-ment needs. PIAC will use this information to rec-ommend projects for funding to the Council for Fiscal Year 2017-18.

The hearing for the Fourth District will be held on Wednesday, June 29, 6:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m., at Lib-erty Memorial, 100 West 26th Street. Citizens also can tell the PIAC about needed pub-lic improvements by completing a request form (available at the hearings or on the KCMO.gov website: PIAC Form).

The deadline to submit a PIAC application is Au-gust 31, 2016. PIAC representatives for the Fourth District are Jim Wanser and Jim MacDonald. Fourth District City Council members are Jolie Justus and Kath-eryn Shields.

If you have any questions about the hearing or PIAC, call Melissa Barraza at 816-513-8828. ■

Porch Lights On or Off? by John Toms

Recently I read several interesting comments on our neighborhood Watch page about whether to turn porch lights on at night or not. It seems there are just as many folks who think they help as a preventative measure against crime as those who think turning them on does no good.

I think they help. If a criminal is prowling in the wee hours of the morning, which is when it seems most of our crimes are occurring, then it’s better to have light rather than dark around your house. If the bad person is out there, they are going to look at the dark house before they look at the well-lit home. Lights also allow our neighbors to see better if someone is prowling around a car or walking up to or around a house.

If you use LED bulbs, the cost to keep your house lit at night is minimal. I have been told that the pesky little bugs that fly around are not drawn to these bulbs because they do not give off heat.

It’s something to think about. ■

Mindfulness: Be Here Now by Martha Childers, LPC, EdS

Mindfulness is being aware in each moment without judgment. When we experience the present moment fully, our senses are en-hanced and stress is reduced. Mindfulness can be practiced in many ways, whether in formal meditation or by simply being aware of the breath while you’re

waiting in line at the grocery store. Either way brings you into this very moment. This may sound mysterious and even mystical, but being in the present is a skill that can be improved by anyone through practice.

Nearly a half century ago during a sojourn in Ja-pan, Zen practices became integral to my life. It was the 1970s, and unbeknownst to me, “mindfulness” was being introduced to the medi-cal community in Boston by Jon Kabat-Zinn and Thich Nhat Hanh. Since then, the body of re-search on the benefits of mindfulness has grown exponentially. Increasingly, psychotherapists are using mindfulness techniques to help people live better lives. For in-depth information, click on “Resources” then “Mindfulness” at www.Childerscounselingservice.com. For a list of Mind Body Resources, check out https://kcmindbody.com/ and https://clearmind-openheart.com/about/resources/.

It’s all about being here now. That’s all! ■
