A Crack In The Pavement Documentary On Scientology Leah
Between the Lines by Ivan Foley. FORMER DANCE PARTNERS ARE GOING TO GIVE IT ANOTHER WHIRLWritten 7/1. The Landmark brought this into the local news discussion with an article the first week of May, so I know you’re well aware. But here’s a reminder: Platte County- -and even more particularly, Platte City- -will be a prime spot for viewing the total solar eclipse that will occur on Aug. Don’t panic. The Landmark has them for you.
Update, 3:58pm: And here’s a statement we just got from NASA: The Nobody wants to die. But its hard to go from wanting to die to suddenly being cheered up. If you say, “I want to die” and everyone else says, “Oh, cheer up. Claire Headley is taking us on our journey to train as Scientologists. She and her husband Marc were Sea Org workers who escaped from Scientology’s International. The slightly slower news pace on Independence Day seems like a good time to reflect a bit on some local history. In this case, the history is found in that Aug.

And best of all they’re free. While supplies last, we have them for you at no charge at The Landmark, the newspaper that cares about your eyeballs. Read on for some thoughts on the latest local scoopage. Ferrelview still has a police department but it has been neutered. Ferrelview’s police department has been cut to one officer- -the chief. And faced with serious financial struggles, village officials at a special meeting on Friday cut the police chief down to a maximum of 2. The chief can only make arrests/citations for state charges, Campbell said at last week’s meeting and again in a follow- up interview with The Landmark the next day.

Even Daniel Clayton, the embattled but heavily- outfitted police chief, expressed a confused reaction at last week’s meeting over what exactly this means he is empowered to do or not do. It seems at the start of the special closed meeting on Friday city officials felt three citizens were being disruptive and dialed the sheriff’s department, looking for help in keeping the peace. Among the three sheriff’s personnel members who responded was Sheriff Mark Owen.
That’s impressive. To hold a closed session, a governing body first needs to open the meeting in open session before entering closed session. He did say city officials have reached out to the sheriff’s department to request their presence at future meetings. The sheriff is discussing it with legal counsel and will have a decision soon, he indicated. The Platte County Commission, which owns the land on which Platte Landing Park sits, apparently wants no part of it. The county is in the middle of hammering out a deal with the city to “sell” the Platte Landing Park ground to the city for $1. If/when that deal is complete, it will give full control and full financial responsibility of the park land to the city.
Let’s be honest, you didn’t think I had an impressive sounding word like ecosystem in my arsenal, did you? The county is working on an exit plan. The deal is for economic development support. In short, the city will give $1. DJ Gehrt, city administrator.
The results were not ideal. In those days, the chamber was under different leadership with a personality- challenged executive director. It no longer acts as simply a promotional vehicle for the Platte County R- 3 School District, as it did in those days. The personality of the chamber is now more open, more friendly and more focused on the good of the community, not exclusively on what is good for the school district. The organization now has a big picture mentality and an actual purpose to its existence. The high school type cliquishness that festered from the executive director in those days and resulted in some folks dropping out, or at least fading away, is thankfully gone.
The proposed scope of work includes general marketing, business site visits, rental space marketing, coordinating and managing events and representing the city at county and regional economic development agencies and groups. Gehrt says the city is ready to do the deal because “the current level and need for economic development activity is beyond the capacity and availability of current city staff.” It’s worth the $1.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO DISINCORPORATEWritten 7/1. It’s one of those weeks where anything that could go wrong has gone wrong, at least when it comes to technological and mechanical matters. Between cell phone problems and vehicle repairs, this has been one of those weeks.
And just now the touchpad on my laptop has gone haywire. It’s a week for First World problems, apparently. Nowadays my reaction is to take a deep breath and move on, vowing to deal with it all later, after deadline, one thing at a time. Or blame it on office manager Cindy, whichever comes first.
Many outbursts came from two former elected officials and one unsuccessful recent candidate. At one point, two females challenged one another and headed to the door to “step outside,” like an old fashioned bar room brawl, only to see the police chief step in. Two people, including former board member Linda Mc. Caslin, were escorted out of the meeting long after they should have been. The inability of the board chair to keep control of the room was extremely disappointing. This comes after I had previously praised Theresa Wilson for her success in that regard at previous meetings.
On Tuesday night she let comments from the audience get out of hand early, the crowd became emboldened and it turned into the Jerry Springer Show. On steroids. Those were a Sunday School session compared to Ferrelview. I would describe the meeting as a train wreck but that would be an insult to train wrecks. It was embarrassing. Have I mentioned it was embarrassing? But in the meantime, a couple of well- intended suggestions for Ferrelview leaders: 1. You need security at your meetings.
And that doesn’t mean your police chief, Daniel Clayton. Clayton’s mere presence is a dividing factor in the community.
Some support him, others don’t. This only adds to the tension in the room. I would suggest asking the sheriff’s department to send a deputy or two to sit in on the next meeting.
Theresa Wilson, board chair, needs to set and enforce the rules for public participation. Comments from the audience should only be allowed when it comes to the audience participation portion of the agenda. Set a time limit for each speaker. One speaker at a time. This is a meeting of an elected board, not the WWE. Anyone using over the top profanity or being disorderly needs to be asked to leave. Immediately. And if the offender refuses to leave the room after being asked by the board chair, the law enforcement presence in the room (again, this should be the sheriff’s department, not Clayton) needs to escort him/her to the door.
What happened in the past doesn’t matter. Voters elected change. Wilson needs to make it clear there’s a newly- elected regime in place now with rules for decorum and civility that will be enforced.
Enforce those rules. It’s really not that difficult. On the back of some of the boxes are handwritten names that identified to whom the post office box was assigned. Among the names: *Exchange Bank (the bank was located on the corner next to The Landmark.
It’s known today as the Farley Law Office building). Some historians tell us this is a name associated with the Exchange Bank. His post office box was located right next to the bank’s box, for what it’s worth. Johnson or J. C. Johnson or J. G. We’d love to hear your story.
He posted a 9- under par score of 3. Cool Crest staff quickly grabbed Foley's scorecard, insisted that he sign and date it, and pinned it on their Wall of Fame.
This historic occasion was witnessed by Kurt Foley, Linda Foley and Dorothy Donnelli of Platte City, a local insurance company rep who happened to be at Cool Crest that night. I was bored to tears out there. It was like soccer, only less exciting.
He then vowed to post a picture of his scorecard being displayed on the Cool Crest Wall of Fame on Facebook. Email ivan@plattecountylandmark.
TAKING A STEP BACK IN TIMEWritten 7/5/1. The slightly slower news pace on Independence Day seems like a good time to reflect a bit on some local history. The Landmark we found in the basement/crawl space below your historic Landmark building in downtown Platte City last week. During my early perusal, nothing of monumentally historic impact was found in that issue.
Mike Pence Touches NASA Equipment Labeled 'Do Not Touch', Becomes Instant Meme. Vice President Mike Pence made a big mistake during his tour of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center yesterday. He touched a piece of critical space flight hardware in the Orion clean room, despite the fact that there was a sign that clearly read, “DO NOT TOUCH.” So, of course, the photo is now a meme. The original photo, taken by Mike Brown of Reuters, has gotten a life of its own online.
Some people are simply making jokes about unwanted “touching” from Pence, while others have accomplished more elaborate photoshops—like the person who added President Trump’s infamous tennis photo. Reddit even has a Photoshop Battle going on. So if you’re inspired to create your own version of Pence’s weird NASA encounter, please share it with us in the comments. This isn’t the first time that members of the Trump administration have inspired a meme. From the glowing orb in Saudi Arabia, to those bizarre photos of the Trump family at the Vatican, it seems like the entire Trump presidency is going to be fodder for photoshop jokesters. Update, 3: 4. 4pm: Vice President Pence just tweeted a joke, blaming Marco Rubio (who was standing behind him) for daring him to touch the NASA equipment. And now he’s doing his own memes, which I’m sure were in no way focus grouped all day: Make it stop, please.
Update, 3: 5. 8pm: And here’s a statement we just got from NASA: The . Procedures require the hardware to be cleaned before tiles are bonded to the spacecraft, so touching the surface is okay. Otherwise, the hardware would have had a protective cover over it like the thermal heat shield, which was nearby.
