New publisher Bluesfest brings cool sounds for Dispatch to Oak Grove Park Sandy Nelson leads group of Northland weeklies Sandy Nelson has taken the helm of the Northland publishing group that includes the Gladstone Dispatch. Nelson was named publisher of the communit y newspaper and its sis- Sandy Nelson ter publications, Liberty Tribune, The Kearney Courier and The Smithville Herald, after Matt Daugherty stepped down from the position in May. She said she was looking forward to learning more about the Northland and building relationships within in each community while doing a job she loves. “Community journalism reaches beyond the story and touches the people, the community and the businesses within,” said the 15-year industry veteran. “Community newspapers are my life, your life.” The four Northland news outlets now under Nelson’s charge are owned by St. Joseph-based NPG Newspapers, which also owns a group of Miami
County, Kan., weeklies as well as daily papers in St. Joseph and Warrensburg in Missouri. Nelson has been the publisher of the Miami County division and The Kansas City Nursing News for the past five years. “After five years of living life in Kansas, I am so happy to be back to Missouri,” she said of her recent move north of the river. “There are many reasons to be thankful for this opportunity. First of all, I am serving a community where people take pride in their community, and it shows. My goal is to bring that same pride through in your local newspaper.” Nelson has worked with newspapers since 1998, starting out selling advertising before becoming the ad director for suburban publications in Greater Kansas City. In 2001 she became the publisher of the Democrat Missourian. Over the next seven years, she became the group publisher of seven newspapers owned by The McClatchy Co. Lee Sawyer, chief

Gladstone council eyes solutions for noncompliant property owners By Nancy Hull Rigdon Gladstone elected officials support cracking down on apartment complex crime, but they draw the line at landlords facing criminal charges when crimes occur on their properties. During a May 23 Gladstone City Council study session, the council discussed what the city calls the failure of rental property owners to control criminal activity on their grounds. City Counselor Randall Thompson presented the council with a few options to combat the problem. The council could consider passing ordinances that would:

City seeks to deter crime at rental properties • Mandate that all rental property owners participate in the city’s Safe Residence Program, a cooperation between property owners and police that seeks to curb crime. Program participation is now voluntary, and the city would like to see more property owners involved. Thompson said that since Gladstone is a thirdclass city, it isn’t clear whether the city has the right to pass such a law. • Mandate that property owners sit down with police and draft a plan to abate the problem if police determine crime at a specific property
needs attention. • Make failure to control crime on a property a crime in itself. This could happen when a property has what’s categorized as either “nuisance activities” or “aggravated nuisance activities.” Those activities include 50 crimes ranging from assault, drug violations and noise ordinance violations to homicide, kidnapping and gang activity. Each council member expressed concern with the third option of criminalizing property management, saying it was too aggressive and could turn off valued property owners. Rental/Page A4

competitive business world. He noted a recent article in the Wall Street Journal that cited a “skill gap” that separates not only communities but also countries. “Being average is over,” Downing said. “Education is the single most important element driving economic development.” Downing said a ranking of economic development factors includes human capital, education and talent. Also important are “clusters” of technology, products and innovation.
He said Clay County is clearly developing within a dynamic automotive manufacturing cluster and has the ability to grow in other ways. Garry Hayes, director of leasing for MD Management, discussed the latest plans for redevelopment of Metro North Center. He noted the company has ended a three-year effort to gain control of the entire center, which sets the stage for a more than $400 million redevelopment. The project will include
rebuilding Metro North into a new enclosed center as well as work along the nearby Barry Road corridor. Macy’s has committed to remaining at the location, and the search for a second anchor is progressing. Mike McKeen, director of construction and development for Briarcliff Development Co., outlined ongoing work at that development. McKeen noted work began in the 1980s when the area was an abandoned mine and the Northland had fewer
than 30 homes worth more than $200,000. Today Briarcliff includes several homes worth more than $5 million as well as upscale retail, office, condominiums and hotel. The meeting also featured a panel discussion with Mayor David Slater of Pleasant Valley, City Ad minist rator Dav id Hoagland of Excelsior Springs, Smithville City Administrator Steven Garrett, Kansas City Economic Development Council representative Jeremy Davis, Gladstone
Ad m i n ist rator of Economic Development Melinda Mehaffy, and former Liberty mayor and state representative Greg Canuteson. Sponsored by the Clay County Economic Development Council, the Strategic Planning Initiative is developing an economic strategy for Clay County through a series of monthly meetings. Co-chaired by Canuteson and Jerry Nolte, group will meet in June to discuss workforce development.

“We have issued the American Fitness Index each year since 2008 to help health advocates and community leaders improve the quality of life in their hometowns,” said Walter Thompson, chair of the AFI Advisory Board. “As urban areas attract more and more residents, it’s imperative for cities to create a built environment, fund amenities and form policies that get residents active and encourage healthy lifestyles.” To assist with measurement and to provide a baseline measure of health and fitness status, ACSM worked with the Indiana University School of Family Medicine and a panel of 26 health and physical activity experts on the methodology of the AFI data report. Researchers analyzed the data gleaned from U.S. Census data, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, The Trust for the Public Land City Park Facts and other existing research data in order to give a scientific, accurate snapshot of the health and fitness status at a metropolitan level. For a complete list of Kansas City’s areas of excellence and improvement priorities, plus a breakdown of the components that helped make up its score, visit the AFI website at AmericanFitnessIndex.org and download the metro area report.
Kansas City ranked 28th in the American College of Sport Medicine’s American Fitness Index, which measures the health and community fitness status of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Similar to an annual physical or wellness exam, the sixth annual report evaluates the preventive health behaviors, levels of chronic disease conditions, health care access and community resources and policies that encourage healthy and fit lifestyles. Included in the report’s latest edition are benchmarks for each data indicator to highlight areas that need improvement. The metropolitan statistical area of Kansas City scored 50.4 (out of 100 possible points) in the 2013 report, up one spot from last year. In 2012, the metro area ranked 29th with a score of 47.3. Minneapolis-St. Paul achieved a high score of 76.4 to capture the top ranking for the third consecutive year. Kansas City ranked 23rd on personal health indicators related to health behaviors, chronic health conditions and health care access. The area ranked 31st on community/environmental indicators associated to the built environment, recreational facilities, park-related expenditures, physical education requirements and primary health care providers.

“This will be grossly misunderstood by investment property owners,” Council member Carol Suter said. “If the rap we get is that we’re criminalizing people for building multi-family apartments, that might sway some folks when looking at Gladstone as a place to invest.” Suter also said she was concerned that such an
ordinance could give the impression that crime at rentals is worse than it is. Most criminal activity in Gladstone occurs on rental property. While the most common offenses include domestic violence and drug offenses, three of the five homicides in 2012 occurred at rentals. City Manager K irk Davis said that based on conversations with property owners, he thinks

School Notes
misspelled above one of the signatures on our nation’s founding document, but it’s the overall message of the Constitution rather than the alternate spelling of a state that is important. She cited studies that revealed “62 percent of respondents failed to name the branches of our government” and “only 5 percent of the American population could correctly answer 10 simple questions about our Constitution — a pathetic cry for help.” She implored Americans to study the Constitution so they could have an effect on current issues. “The amount of laws that are currently being debated over for their constitutionality is high: bargaining
laws, voter ID laws, immigration bills, gun control and the Affordable Care Act, to name a few. We can’t be engaged in these important conversations if we don’t know our constitution. Instead, we leave our government in the hands of others, and we exclude ourselves from developing the future of our great nation.” The 2.4 million member American Legion developed the contest to encourage young people to improve their communications skills and to study the U.S. Constitution. More than $3 million in scholarships have been awarded over the history of the contest. Rieger, part of the Oak
Park Class of 2013, was sponsored by Legion Post 95 in Liberty. “I want to thank Post 95 for sponsoring me from the very beginning,” she said. “Everyone in the Legion from the state of Missouri is the most supportive audience you could ever even imagine. Before this Legion’s contest, Rieger, a 2012 Missouri Girls State alumna, had not spoken on the U.S. Constitution. “I know about our Constitution through my government class, and I always respected it (the Constitution), but I never had such a keen appreciation of what we have until this competition,” Rieger said.

Friday lineup John Paul’s Flying Circus John Paul Drum is one of Kansas City’s most recognized Blues musicians. A long-time student of and friend to the late K.C. harp master Provine “Little” Hatch Jr., John Paul spent years learning from one of the true masters of Blues harp, and all those years of “woodshedding” with Hatch certainly paid ample dividends. John Paul’s tone is at times clear as the proverbial crystal bell, but it can also find its way straight to the Blues gutter with a growling sound best described as “raw as hell and twice as hot!” John Paul has been a regular performer at Kansas City’s most respected Blues venues for the past two decades. John Paul’s Flying Circus has also played major festivals and venues across the Midwest. Simply put, if you like your Blues heated up by a blistering harp, you will love John Paul’s Flying Circus.
JP Soars JP Soars is not a typical Blues guitarist. He has a diverse musical background that encompasses a multitude of influences. “I love T-bone Walker, Jesse May Hemphill, Wes Montgomery,
BLUESFEST • JUNE 7 & 8, 2013
Django Reinhardt, Muddy Waters, Johnny Guitar Watson, Guitar Slim and Louis Jordan. But I also love Tito Puente, Miles Davis, Hank Williams, Black Sabbath and Slayer.” Soars toured the globe and recorded several records with some of the most extreme metal bands in the world before finding his home in the Blues! It is these attributes that are giving Soars an instantaneously recognizable style. Soars is also a prolific songwriter, penning a number of tunes in his repertoire himself. His first Blues CD, “Back of My Mind” (2008) garnered rave reviews and received a considerable amount of airplay on XM Radio’s Bluesville, Comcast digital and other blues stations around the world — and continues to do so. Soars’ newest release, “More Bees With Honey” (2011) was voted second coolest CD of the year for 2011 by Little Steven and his Underground Garage Xm Radio station. It was also in the top five Click to Pick for weeks on BB Kings Bluesville Xm Radio. “More Bees With Honey” has earned Soars a Blues Music Award nomination for Best Contemporary Male Blues Artist of the year. One of the most intriguing components in Soars’ musical arsenal is his use of a two-string homemade guitar that he and his brother made. “It’s basically a plywood box, a stick, two strings and a pickup”. By applying a modern approach to a primitive instrument, Soars manages to conjure up sounds that usually leave folks in disbelief. In February 2009 Soars and his band took home top honors in Memphis, Tenn., by winning first place in the International Blues Challenge as well as the coveted Albert King award for most promising guitarist. That win combined with Soars’ intense work ethic, pure passion for the music he plays, a constant desire to improve and a continual strive for “customer satisfaction” has allowed Soars and company to develop themselves into an in demand international touring band that is growing day by day, week by week and year after year.

Saturday lineup Brandon & Shinetop Blending soulful Blues guitar with harddrivin’ Boogie piano may not be original, but this super-duo will make you feel as if you’re hearing it for the first time. Brandon Hudspeth (guitar) and Mike “Shinetop Jr.� Sedovic (piano) decided to collaborate only just last year, and the results are astounding. Playing a wide array of styles, they masterfully incorporate East Coast, West Coast, Chicago and Traditional Blues into every show. Shinetop’s vocals can be described as “somewhere between Percy Mayfield and Johnny Cash�, and seem to change with every song. These two will definitely raise some eyebrows.

that waves the Elmore James flag loud and proud. Only nine tracks make up this CD, and it clocks in a little more than half an hour. Still, it is enough of a hypodermic shot of the Blues, and there are some musical passages that could be considered re-writes of Blues gems from the past. “Black Lone Rangerâ€? seems lifted from Muddy Waters’ “Hootchie Cootchie Man.â€? It is up to the number “One Hot Motherâ€? to steer toward more original waters, and Ben Hoppes banjo is a welcome addition in the ensemble as opposed to a guitar cranked to the max. The melancholy of “Photographâ€? is not too bad of tune. At least the band doesn’t stay in this groove for too long as they bust loose with “Do The Nodâ€? that rests on a Bo Diddley bedrock of rhythm. It leads into “Liquid Diet,â€? where band seems intent on taking on the role of Blues. The plus side of this independent release is these guys try their best in creating roots music without any regards for mainstream success and more power to them. Some numbers like the opening tracks would no doubt go down for a Saturday night crowd looking for a good time. Jason Vivone makes sure to stay far away from the blues rock clichĂŠs. Maybe he will hit his stride as a songwriter and come up with material that will shine from beginning to end. He’s capable of doing it.

“he Kansas City Blues Society is probably very happy to have Jason Vivone and The Billy Bats representing them. After all, these guys do stick to the dusty blueprints set down decades ago by the musical forebears they love and admire. So they come out with their own independent release that sees them paying homage to the visionaries instrumental in their artistic vision of how the blues should be approached. Of course that’s a good thing but can be overlooked when there are blemishes in the mix. And it couldn’t get off to a better start with the John Lee Hooker-tinged “I Hear A Heartbeat� that sees Vivone displaying some blistering slide chops on his cigar box guitar that screams Hill Country and that could make the North Mississippi All-Stars sit up and take notice. And while the second tune, “Baby Fat,� knocks the adrenaline level down a peg or two, the pilot lights get quickly lit up in the following track “The Nina, The Pinta, The Santa Maria�

Eugene “Hideaway” Bridges Eugene is a nomadic musician living his life on the road. His home is wherever the next performance takes him, and every year this is from America, through Europe, to Australia with many other stops in between. Born in 1963, son of the blues guitarist Hideaway Slim, Eugene is the fourth child of five. His mother was from the Bullock family (the same as Anna Mae Bullock, better known as Tina Turner), and Eugene claims he got his guitar skills from the Bridges side and his voice from the Bullocks. At 5 he was already playing with his father around Louisiana. With his brothers as The Bridges Brothers, he sang gospel and was the musician of his church touring with the Pastor, Elder A A Edwards. At 13 Eugene was entering R&B talent shows and had formed his first R&B band, The Five Stars. Eugene moved to Texas to join the Air Force at 16, playing in the Air Force band for the next three years. On leaving, he joined The New Chosen on guitar and vocals and went on to play with The Mighty Clouds of Joy. Following a move to Houston, Eugene released Blues, Gospel and R&B recordings by the three bands he was running at the time. These included the first lineup of the Eugene “Hideaway” Bridges Band. They toured the USA from coast to coast. Eugene then travelled alone to Europe, where B B King bassist Big Joe Turner spotted him in Paris and offered him the position of guitarist / vVocalist with Big Joe Turners Memphis Blues Caravan. A year later, Eugene left to work under his own name again and formed The Eugene “Hideaway” Bridges Band. Signed to the Blueside label, Eugene recorded “Born to be Blue,” produced by Mike Vernon. His live performances received rave reviews, and Eugene was awarded UK’s Blueprint magazine Vocalist of the Year. He also won The Trophees France Blues 99 Chanteur De L’Annee.

Blues, Soul, Jump, Funk, Gospel, Rock and Beach music make Eugene’s latest CD an upbeat journey through all the musical influences that have made Eugene the seasoned and versatile performer of today.
The Nighthawks When Mark Stutso, master of the deep groove, joined The Nighthawks at the beginning of 2010, the 21st-century version of the legendary American roots band was complete. With Paul Bell and Johnny Castle in the band for nearly a decade, and founding father Mark Wenner the remaining original, this team outshines all previous incarnations. The Nighthawks was an idea in Mark Wenner’s brain long before he was able to implement it. The musical product of pre-1958 radio in Washington, D.C., he did not know there were rules against mixing Blues, R&B, Honky-Tonk Country, Doo-Wop, Gospel and Rockabilly into one delicious stew. In 1974 Mark founded The Nighthawks to implement that idea, bringing together Jimmy Thackery (guitar), Jan Zukowski (bass) and Pete Ragusa (drums). The Nighthawks opened many doors and forged many touring routes for their contemporaries, including the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robert Cray, and played with as many Blues and Rockabilly legends as they could. They opened show after show for Muddy Waters, James Cotton and Carl Perkins, and backed up and recorded with John Hammond and Pinetop Perkins. After 12 years, Thackery went on to a solo career, replaced by Warren Haynes, who was replaced by Jimmy Nalls. Zukowski left nine years later to join a cover band, and Ragusa retired from the road in 2010 to become a producer and session player.
the 2011 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Blues Album of the Year. Last year they recorded “Damn Good Time” for Severn Records. In 2010 drummer and vocalist Mark Stutso joined the band, completing the sound Mark envisioned decades earlier. After 40 years, Mark and The Nighthawks are still having a “Damn Good Time.”
