Sherman Award to Nussbeck

The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WLIC Annual Meeting

November 9

The meeting lasted about 90 minutes with around 100 members in attendance at the meeting.  A number of folks commented on the friendly/chatty atmosphere...and lack of animosity demonstrated in the recent past...who in the world were they referring?

One of the highlights of the evening is always the announcement of the Sherman Award winner.  Supported by the Lance Welch Foundation, the award recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to the community.  Brad Meyer made the announcement of Hank Nussbeck as this years winner.  Brad's narrative included Hank's many volunteer activities with/for the WLIC as well as his leadership role on the Fishing Club.

It's the small things in life, right?  On the way back from Park Hill drove the new Amity Curve, the piece that meets Eastside at Barry.  Barrycades moved up to the new intersection, the tease-of-a-view beyond to the New Barry Speedway.  Could it be soon?  We shall see.  Pointed out the elevated manholes on Amity to my passenger...just a reminder that Amity will not be a piece of cake.

Speaking of PH, last night was the end of the line for PH Footbal & Marching Band.  Staley had a little too much in the 4th quarter.  The boys played hard to the end.  WL Favorite Son Luke caught a nice pass with 1:18 to go, one last catch for his high school career.  Marching Band tried to keep the fans fired up with music and chants...they had fun too.

PH South won their playoff game...didn't look at the schedule, my guess they play Staley.  Good luck to PHS, they will need it.

WLIC Annual Meeting tonight, 7PM, Hilton

Took a little boat ride Sunday afternoon to see the C up close.  In case you haven't been over there, the Pavilion walls are up and the seawall on the west side of the project is mostly complete, some ramp work needs to be completed.  The seawall facing east has not been started, presumably soon.

The Watchdog, KC Star, November 8, page A6

"The poky little bridge project is nearing the final chapter"
 
"Sean Demory of Kansas City's Capital Projects Office, "but we anticipate reopening the structure in mid-November".  So that is KC's guess on Barry Speedway, let's peg it at 15 November, mid being middle and November has 30 days.


The Star highlights KC resident Bob Ashcroft's persistent questioning of when the BRB will reopen...and why the delay.  What's taking so long?  Demory..."Utility relocation issues caused the latest hiccup".  I guess comedy could always be an alternate career pathway...right?  (BTW, I have another idea for a body function analogy for Mr Demory, which has a more acrid smell.)

Reference Comments yesterday regarding criminals on the Speedway...I know residents are making their way to their homes during the mess (God help them)...but my observations include some (cars) with WL stickers who I know do not live on the Speedway, and others who I guess just can't resist the siren call of newly laid asphalt...mmmm, that petroleum smell.
