Letter from the Editor THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US, AND AS THE FESTIVITIES APPROACH, ALL OF THE WARM FEELINGS AND MEMORIES THAT I HOLD DEAR FROM CHRISTMAS’S PAST COME RUSHING TO MIND. This is most definitely my favorite time of year, and for many reasons. I love the traditions and the beauty of the season and watching my kids experience the wonder of the holidays as I once did. This time of year brings back a flood of memories of my grandmother and all she did

to make this season special. Christmas was by far her favorite holiday, in which she hosted all 60 people in our family each year at her home. Although she has since passed, the atmosphere she created and the love that she shared through all she did to make the holidays special still lives on in all of our hearts. She truly blessed all of us with lasting memories of Christmas Eve night shared with family, and all of us are carrying on many of the traditions she started with our own families. I was given a few of her Christmas decorations after she passed, and every year when I pull them out of storage, it evokes strong emotions of being back in her home on Christmas Eve. My favorite holiday item that I got from her is the brass electric candles that once glowed in her front windows to greet us as we came to her door. It always looked magical to me, and as I put them in my window each year, I get that familiar feeling I felt every time we pulled up to her house on Christmas Eve. As simple as those candles are, they represent the feelings of love, contentment and holiday spirit to me. I am grateful for the family I have to celebrate the holidays with and dearly miss the ones who have gone on. There are so many people alone during this season, and it only takes a little bit of effort to make someone feel loved or thought of during this time. Our city is a city full of people who love to give. If you don’t have a local resource or organization that you are already plugged into, look in your neighborhood for someone who spends the holidays alone. There are so many ways to bless those around us

KANSAS CITY NATIVE, MIKE TONER WAS JUST 18 YEARS OLD IN 1980 WHEN HE STARTED IN THE JEWELRY BUSINESS. Thirty-eight years, six children and three grandchildren later, Toner Jewelers is still Johnson County’s iconic locally owned and operated family jewelry store. His first store was at Loehmann’s Plaza shopping center where he formed hundreds of relationships with clients that have lasted to this day. To accommodate his growing base of customers, he made the move to College Blvd. and Metcalf where he operated and grew the business for another 20 years. Four years ago, he moved once again to the prestigious Prairiefire Shopping Center at 135th and Lamar. Through all the years Mike Toner has been a name Kansas Citians have come to know and trust in the jewelry business. Mike’s warm smile is evident in his dealings with clients, and he continues to be as down-to-earth as he was when he first started out. “The career path I chose provides a great deal of joy as I truly love helping clients find the right pieces of jewelry for all occasions. Treating clients like members of my own family is just who I am, and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Mike says.

THE CAREER PATH I CHOSE PROVIDES A GREAT DEAL OF JOY AS I TRULY LOVE HELPING CLIENTS FIND THE RIGHT PIECES OF JEWELRY FOR ALL OCCASIONS. TREATING CLIENTS LIKE MEMBERS OF MY OWN FAMILY IS JUST WHO I AM, AND I WOULDNâ€™T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.

The cornerstone of the original business was the purchasing of quality estate pieces and has always been one of Mike’s personal favorite things to spend time doing. Today, luxury bridal, the Toner Private Collection, fine fashion jewelry, pre-owned Rolex watches, and one-of-a-kind estate pieces are all staples in his store. The hand-selected pieces of merchandise from high-quality suppliers have made his store unique and a pleasurable place to shop in Overland Park. Toner

extremely high-quality and excellent values, and being certified from the Geological Institute of America ensures you can always trust that you are getting exactly what you want. Another service provided at Toner Jewelers is the buying of precious metals. In this day and age, many people are finding this to be a great way to deal with family heirlooms. The staff at Toner Jewelers is very well-trained, and their 120 years of combined experience provide customers with the confidence they deserve in both jewelry selection and expert services offered. The store has an in-house master bench jeweler capable of all types of repairs, and a GIA-certified gemologist to grade and evaluate diamonds and colored stones. The entire sales staff is capable of assisting and guiding clients in finding the perfect piece and helping them make the correct repair decisions. The fact that clients entrust Toner Jewelers with their valued possessions provides Mike with a great level of satisfaction. He says, “You simply don’t know how good a company’s service is until a problem arises. I just cannot sleep at night until each and every client is absolutely delighted with their experience with my store.” Mike and his wife, Holly, reside in Leawood and put a priority on spending time with their family. His grandchildren are the light of his life, and he loves spending time with each of them whenever possible. Also included in the family are their two rescue dogs, Elvis and Chloe. The fair treatment of animals is very close to their hearts. Some days you can meet Elvis in the store. He’s a friendly, handsome pup who will surely melt your heart. Mike enjoys bowhunting and fishing with his father and brothers at the nearby family farm, and he and Holly enjoy traveling together when they find the time.

Modifications are common family law cases Stange Law Firm, PC

When individuals think about family law matters, divorce cases are the first type of family law cases that often come to mind. It is true that divorce filings are probably the most common type of family law case. Next to divorce filings, paternity cases are on the rise as well in the United States. With statistics showing that four out of ten children are born out-of-wedlock, many unmarried parents end up in court litigating paternity, custody and support related issues. After divorce and paternity actions, many wonder what are other common types of family law cases? The reality is that modifications (or motions to modify) are very common types of family law matters. Modification litigation can certainly encompass lots of cases on family law dockets throughout the country. Modifications are generally off-shoot cases from prior divorce and paternity actions. They take place when one party later comes back to court alleging that there are changes of circumstances of a substantial and continuing basis that warrants a modification.

A motion to modify can address issues from child custody (also known as parenting time and allocation of parental responsibilities in some states), to child support and spousal support. However, a motion to modify cannot address martial property and debt in a divorce that has already been divided via a divorce decree. This is generally viewed as final and non-modifiable. While it is the goal of the family court to address these kinds of issues in a way such that they do not come back to court later, the reality is that many parties experience changes that end in them coming back to the court. For some parties, they might end up back in court on a modification once or twice. In other instances, parties can end up back in court on modifications fairly frequently. This is particularly true in high conflict cases where parties are constantly in conflict. It is unfortunate when this takes place and is needed. But the reality is that many parties end up back in court frequently litigating modifications. When parties think about family law cases, parties should not forget about modifications. When many parties are unhappy with

the results of their divorce or paternity case, these are common types of family law matters. If parties are wishing to avoid modifications, options they ought to consider are collaborative divorce and mediation. Many opine that when parties are able to reach a settlement outside of court in which they are happy, they end up back in court less on modifications than when the court makes the decision for them. Stange Law Firm, PC limits their practice to family law matters including divorce, child custody, child support, paternity, guardianship, adoption, mediation and other domestic relation matters. Several attorneys at the firm are also trained in collaborative practice. Stange Law Firm, PC gives clients 24/7 access to their case through a secured online case tracker found on the website. They also give their clients their cell phone numbers. Stange Law Firm, PC understands the emotions that can come from a divorce or family law matter.

HOLIDAY DECOR TRENDS

RENOVATE & REFINE

MEGAN MOSIER IS THE DESIGNER BEHIND MEGAN GENSKY INTERIORS. After working for Magnolia in Waco, Texas and winning awards while working for a local builder, she decided it was finally her time to start her own design company. She stays busy during the holiday months setting up clients’ homes and offices for the holiday season. Besides holiday decorating services, she offers a wide variety of services such as virtual design, new construction design services, renovating, staging and furnishing services. “My favorite part of helping clients with their decorating is reconnecting with my them each holiday season. They each have a unique style that speaks to their personality and style. It’s so much fun continuing to recreate the decorations that have inspired many memories and traditions for their families,” Megan says. A plethora of holiday trends exist right now, but Megan says that a lot of vintage styles are coming back such as bottle brush trees, mercury glass ornaments, and retro motifs. “Mercury glass is a beautiful trend right now because it leans towards a timeless look. You can mix in so many different colors but still keep the elegance and class with the texture and look of mercury glass,” Megan says.

DÉCOR TIPS FROM MEGAN

Linens

Linens create the perfect texture and

color to every look. They soften each place setting and are the perfect barrier between your chargers and plates.

Manzanita Branches

Stunning Manzanita branches add beautiful

lines that create movement at the center of your table. Manzanita branches can be reused in so many unique ways. They are most definitely the perfect piece for your special vintage mercury glass ornaments to hang.

Ornaments

Ornaments create a wow factor for any holi-

day table scape. Utilizing a variety of sizes and shades adds all of the right textures and colors while filling just the right spots.

Pears

Pears add the perfect item to neutralize your table to fit more than just your holiday theme. The gold finish elevates the place setting, and the calligraphy place tag adds the sweetest personalization to your table.
