by Bill Althaus, Grain Valley News I want to thank my wife Stacy, my son Sean and so many valued friends for attending Thanks a Million Bill – a celebration of my 43-year career as a sportswriter and columnist at The Examiner. My buddy Tony Wrisinger did all the leg work, Grain Valley High School activities director Brandon Hart graciously allowed us to have the celebration in the school's auditorium, and I am still overwhelmed by the number of friends – old and new – who spent a part of their Friday night with me and my family. One reason for the celebration's success was the participation of Grain Valley legend and University of Missouri basketball standout – and all-around great person – Grace Slaughter. She made a special trip from Columbia to join the fun. It's always great to see Grace and her mom, Becky, who has rebounded more than 20,000 basketballs over the years during a practice routine that made Grace the best at what she does. Two gentlemen were there in spirit, but could not make the event. Allen Lefko, Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Grain Valley, who has become a father figure and mentor to me since my family moved to Grain Valley 26 years ago. And my high school journalism teacher Ron Clemons, who has been a friend and mentor the past 53 years. I love each of you with all my heart and I could feel your spirit in the auditorium. It surprised me, and meant so much to me, that Grain Valley Mayor Mike Todd attended the event with his daughter Harper, to present a plaque on Bill Althaus Celebration Day and to State Representative Jeff Coleman, for a resolution honoring me for my work at The Examiner, Sonic Locker Room, and Grain Valley News. We talked about some great memories from my days at The Examiner, thanked Cory and John Unrein, for allowing to me still do what I enjoy – write about student/athletes and events in Grain Valley for the Grain Valley News – and let folks know what type of impact our radio program, The Sonic Locker Room, has made over the past 17 years. And that's all because of Tony and his daughter, Olivia, the brightest and best young producer I've worked with. I will admit, there were a few tears, a ton of smiles and memories to last a lifetime. Thank you so much! Here are a few comments from some people who were unable to attend the event: "I can't ever thank you enough Bill for everything that you have done for me, our family, our school, our athletic programs and for our kids. Congratulations on an incredible career that has had such a positive impact on so many." - Andy Herbert, Eagles Head Basketball Coach "Bill Althaus is a respected writer, but to me he is also a friend. I appreciate his approach to coaches and to athletes, and the way he tells important stories. I wish every time I talked with him was following a win, but we had conversations after tough losses as well, and all those conversations happen through his knowledgeable sports eye, with the compassion and interest they deserve. He asks questions that help me frame my emotions in those big and sometimes small moments. That's his professionalism coming through. I am also grateful for the way he honors student athletes with his writing. He details their accomplishments, but he also captures their character, something so important to me and our program. I think of Bill as a neighbor--his Grain Valley roots are evident, as he continues to support our community and school. I would guess that perhaps thousands of teams and athletes have felt Bill's presence in journalism and maybe hundreds of thousands of readers have shared a moment when reading his accounts. We have a rare gem among us and I am grateful to call Bill a friend." - David Allie, Eagles Head Football Coach "Former Chicago Bears National Football League Hall of Famer Mike Ditka has been quoted as saying, 'class is hard to define.' Bill Althaus exudes class in everything he does. More importantly, he has done it consistently through a journalism career that has lasted over forty years. Bill loves to write, and more importantly he brings to life the stories of those who call Grain Valley home. Bill is respectful, kind, empathetic, caring, and thoughtful to those he meets on his journey through life. Even if you don't have the joy of getting to call him your friend, you will experience these traits in your interactions with Mr. Althaus. Grain Valley High School and the community of Grain Valley could have no better ambassador than Bill Althaus. A class act." - John Unrein, Grain Valley News "Bill is an All-Star in his field. Thanks for your friendship over the years." - George Brett, Kansas City Royals Hall of Famer Grain Valley High School - thank you! Thank you for hosting a celebration of 43 years of excellence. Congrats to my good friend Bill Althaus on a JOB WELL DONE! Whenever I see Bill, or see his byline, it always makes me smile. You're the best. - Rick Sutcliffe, Cy Young Award Winner It doesn't matter if Bill is covering an event or game with George Brett or a nine-hole high school golf match in the middle of the week, Bill puts the same effort and attention to detail into every story. That's what makes him great and loved by so many. Thank you for all you do for the Mavericks. I feel that very few people truly understand what goes in to creating a winning culture. It’s been a very long and difficult road to get to where we are, and it’s people like you that stand by this team. You are a valued member of our media base and will always have a seat with this team. - Mike Cukyne, Kansas City Mavericks Team President "Congratulations to Bill on his retirement. Bill has done a tremendous job covering the Mavericks throughout his tenure and has become a true friend along the way. His professionalism and authenticity are second to none. Bill's thorough reporting and attention to detail, and strong work ethic have left a lasting impact. I am incredibly grateful for all he has done to cover the Mavericks and sports across the city. We are lucky to have him in our corner and I'm honored to call him a friend." - Tad O'Had, Kansas City Mavericks Head Coach and General Manager  Grain Valley High School basketball coach Randy Draper and Grain Valley graduate and all-time leader in scoring for the Eagles basketball team Grace Slaughter were part of the Thanks A Million Bill Celebration Friday night at Grain Valley High School.

This Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, 2025, the National WWI Museum and Memorial unveiled its newest exhibition examining war’s toll on the earth and its lasting environmental impact. Artillery was the primary frontline weapon in WWI and by the time fighting ended on the Western Front in 1918, shelling had torn the countryside apart – forests were splintered, craters pockmarked the fields and whole towns were wiped out. Across the globe and during the four years of the Great War, over one billion rounds of artillery were fired. Iron Harvest refers to the unearthing of vast amounts of unexploded artillery shells, bombs, grenades and mines. After the war ended, the destruction along the Western Front was so great that many people could not safely return. On April 17, 1919, the French government passed a law allowing it to buy lands considered temporarily or permanently unsafe. Much of this land had been farmland but 10 entire towns had to be abandoned entirely or reestablished away from the contaminated earth. Despite clearing efforts, danger still exists. Nearly 30 percent of all shells fired during World War I failed to explode, and since 1918, the weapons of the Great War have killed more than 900 people in northeastern France and Belgium. Countless more have been seriously injured, chemically burned or poisoned from plants and animals exposed to dangerous decomposing materials. “The devastation that armed conflict brings to the land lasts for generations beyond the fighting itself,” said Dr. Chris Juergens, Curator at the National WWI Museum and Memorial. “Iron Harvest is a chilling reminder of war’s enduring impact.” It is estimated that it will take another 300 years from now to completely clear the zone of unexploded ordnance – but this does not include the time needed to break down the poisons embedded in the soil. Iron Harvest is located in the West Lobby of the Museum and Memorial and admission is not required to visit. A variety of engaging programs will support the exhibition. Stay tuned to theworldwar.org/events for more information.  Iron Harvest explores the environmental legacy of World War I battles in the fields of northeastern France and Belgium.

And none of those concerts meant more to Cook than a Saturday night benefit event at the Blue Springs South performing Arts Center. The 2001 South graduate was the singer everyone in Eastern Jackson County voted for when he starred on American Idol, and now, he's giving back to a friend, and a community that gave so much to him during his historic run on the popular singing/songwriting television series. When Cook learned that his fourth-grade football teammate and former South classmate Brandon Claxton, a lieutenant on the Blue Springs Police Department who now lives in Grain Valley, was diagnosed with cancer he asked how he could help. What makes Claxton's diagnosis even more heartbreaking is that his wife recently died of cancer, leaving him with four young children to raise. He has Mantle Cell Lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a group of cancers that affect the lymphatic system. The Blue Springs Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association began a series of fundraisers to help defray Claxton's medical and travel expenses to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. And one of the first individuals who asked how he could help was Cook. “David is an amazing young man who has always cared about his community and his friends, like Brandon,” said BSCPAAA representative Paula Pickett. “This is a benefit event – all the money will go to Brandon and his family. We worked with David and his representatives and were able to make this happen – God bless him.” Cook and his crew were among the first to arrive at South late Saturday afternoon, on the same stage where he performed in “Singing in the Rain,” “The Music Man” and “West Side Story” while at student at South. As he sat in the empty auditorium, the memories began to wash over him like waves. “I am a huge ball of anxiety and excitement right now,” Cook said, when asked about his return to Blue Springs. “When I heard about what Brandon, who is a pillar in the community, I wanted to help. “I played fourth grade little league football with Brandon and his dad was our coach. Brandon's story is heartbreaking, when you think about a husband who lost his wife to cancer. He has four young kids, and now they are here to love and support their dad. “I know Brandon's mother Linda has been an inspiration for her son and so many people in this loving community are doing all they can to support him.” Claxton and several members of his family arrived at the high school and were overwhelmed by the items in the silent auction and the number of volunteers who this magical night happen. “I've known David since we were in fourth grade,” Claxton said, while he held his 6-year-old daughter Brylie. “It's amazing he's coming back to do this benefit concert. But that's the type of guy David is – he cares about everyone and has a big heart.” Claxton's mother, Linda, said she watched every episode of “American Idol,” during the 2008 season. “I watched David, all my friends and family voted for David, and now he's back in Blue Springs to help my son and his family,” Linda said. “We've all been blown away by the love and support of our community, and we're so thankful to everyone who has helped us get through this.” While Claxton did his best to avoid the spotlight, his 12-year-old son Benson, who attends Grain Valley North Middle School, handled questions like a veteran of the music industry. “When we got here, I looked around and saw all the volunteers and everyone setting up for the concert and I was like, 'They're doing all this for my dad,'” Benson said. “And that is so cool. My dad has helped so many people (over the past 20 years) with the police department and now, they're helping him.” The silent auction – that included many Kansas City Chiefs and Royals signed items and tickets, along with an array of gift baskets – and the concert raised $22,000, all of which will go to Claxton.” Pickett added that more than $2,000 in donations was raised during the event. “We also had a Bingo Night at Sandy's Restaurant in Blue Springs,” Pickett said, “and that raised $20,000. So we just want to thank everyone for being so generous and showing up for Brandon and his family.” If anyone would like to make a contribution to the Claxton fund please go to: bscpa.org/claxtons-shield.

Hunley, Grandview, faces two charges, armed criminal action and first-degree assault in connection to a shooting on Monday, April 14th at the Dollar General Store, 1701 NE Main.
In a probable cause statement, Grain Valley Police Department outlined a marijuana deal gone awry, with Hunley allegedly firing several rounds and shooting the victim who was allegedly attempting to sell marijuana to Hunley in the face. Hunley's bond review is scheduled for April 22nd in Jackson County Circuit Court. Prior reporting: Quick News - Grain Valley News Armed Criminal Action A Grain Valley man has been charged with three counts of possession of child pornography, following a series of cyber tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Matthew O. Mueller, 22, faces three counts of possession of child pornography, following an investigation by the Grain Valley Police Department which began in November. According to a probable cause statement filed by GVPD, an analyst with the Kansas City Police Department' Internet Crimes Against Children squad delivered a thumb drive containing cybertip images. A subsequent search warrant by GVPD in February resulted in several electronic devices seized and found to contain images and videos of child sexual abuse material. Mueller posted bond on April 7th; an initial arraignment is scheduled for May 15th in Jackson County Circuit Court. UPDATE: 4/15/25 Noon
The Grain Valley Police Department has released a statement, thanking witnesses who came forward and first responders for their assistance in investigating a shooting that took place at the Dollar General Store, 1701 NE Main, on Monday evening. The release also states the victim remains in stable condition. "Thanks to the swift actions of individuals who witnessed the event and came forward immediately, our officers were able to investigate and act quickly. This case moved as efficiently as it did because of our residents—neighbors who looked out for each other and made the choice to speak up. Grain Valley takes care of Grain Valley. That’s not just a phrase—it’s a mindset that continues to make our community stronger and safer." The statement continued, "We also want to extend our sincere thanks to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, the Oak Grove Police Department and the ATF for their assistance and support. Their collaboration made a real difference, and we’re thankful to have such strong partners in public safety. Earlier this morning a search warrant was executed on a residence in relation to the incident and we are currently working with the Jackson County Prosecutor’s office to finalize charges. It is our belief that some of the individuals involved were not permanent residents of this city and all who were directly involved were adults. The victim remains in stable condition. As always, our priority is to keep Grain Valley a safe place to live, work, and raise a family." Reporting from 4/14/2025: In a release on Monday evening, Grain Valley Police Department (GVPD) reported officers responded to a reported shooting shortly after 6:00pm at the Dollar General Store located at 1701 NE Main ST, Grain Valley. Simultaneously, officers were dispatched to a nearby residence where they located a victim with a gunshot wound. The victim was transported to a local hospital and is currently in stable condition. Grain Valley Police Department officers apprehended a person of interest at a nearby house in connection with the incident. Additionally, multiple other individuals were taken into custody for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation. GVPD reported they are not seeking any other individuals in connection with this incident, and there is no ongoing safety concern for residents. Grain Valley Community Center Manager Jim Meyer is a familiar face to those who frequent the Community Center, and is known for his friendly demeanor and extensive experience in the Parks and Recreation Department. Meyer's quick action on Monday morning to utilize the Center's AED likely saved a man's life. A senior citizen utilizing the fitness center on the morning of April 7th suffered a medical emergency and was found unresponsive. Other fitness center patrons alerted staff of the issue, and Meyer quickly sprang into action, performing AED on the man who is now recovering from the incident. Meyer said he and his staff regularly undergo training, including training on using an AED, an automated external defibrillator. The AED analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers a controlled electric shock to the heart muscle to try and restore a normal heartbeat. Meyer said the AED prompts are clear and easy for any person to assist someone in need, and he was grateful for the training and the quick action of his staff and patrons on site Monday morning. Paramedics arrived quickly and the man was transported to the hospital for evaluation. Meyer said AEDs are located in all city park facilities and outside at Armstrong Park. "He needed help, and I was just glad he was here at our place," Meyer said.   Meyer said he and his staff regularly undergo training, including training on using an AED, an automated external defibrillator. The AED analyzes the heart's rhythm and, if necessary, delivers a controlled electric shock to the heart muscle to try and restore a normal heartbeat.

Re.Use.Full will host their 12th Un-Dumpster Day to help people rehome their still-good stuff to benefit participating nonprofit organizations on Saturday, April 12, from 9 a.m. to noon at the parking lot across from the YMCA, 1999 Iron St, North Kansas City, Mo. Some of the items to be accepted include gently used working appliances, bikes, books, clothing, linens, arts and crafts supplies, toys, games and puzzles, stain-free mattresses, furniture and other household goods that will be distributed to help people and pets in the Kansas City area. In addition to the donation collection, North Kansas City residents can also take advantage of free paper-shredding services and electronics recycling, courtesy of the City of North Kansas City. Tire recycling will also be available with no residency requirement. Participating organizations include:
 Community Blood Center (CBC) is urging community members to donate as the local blood supply has dropped to a critical 3-4-day level—well below the ideal 7-10-day inventory needed to ensure hospitals are fully prepared for both routine and unexpected patient needs. Several factors have contributed to this decline, including lingering disruptions from severe winter storms, a seasonal dip due to spring break travel, and fewer school-based blood drives. In February alone, CBC collected nearly 2,000 fewer donations than needed to keep up with hospital demand. Unlike many other medical supplies, blood cannot be manufactured or synthetically produced, and donations must come directly from volunteer donors. It is also perishable, making regular donations critical to maintaining a safe and stable blood supply. Type O donors are especially needed. O-negative blood is vital for trauma cases when there isn’t time to determine a patient’s blood type, and O-positive—being the most common blood type—is heavily relied upon for surgeries, cancer treatments, and routine medical care. “As a transplant surgeon, I know the importance of having a robust blood supply,” Dr. Sean Kumer, Senior Vice President & Chief Medical Officer, Kansas City Division, The University of Kansas Health System said. “For our patients, donated blood isn’t just a resource—it’s a lifeline. We cannot overstate how critical it is to ensure blood is available when it’s needed most.” “We rely on a steady stream of donors to maintain a safe and stable blood supply for Kansas City hospitals,” Chelsey Smith, Director of Public Relations at Community Blood Center said. “Right now, we’re seeing fewer donations than we need to keep pace with patient demand. We’re asking anyone who is eligible—especially Type O donors—to take an hour to give and help rebuild the supply for our community.” Blood donors can give every 56 days, and platelet donors can give twice per month. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently lifted eligibility restrictions for individuals who lived in Europe during certain periods of time. To view current eligibility guidelines, visit savealifenow.org or call 800.688.0900. To make an appointment to donate blood, donors can visit this link. The National Weather Service Kansas City reports severe thunderstorms are expected to develop near or just east of the Kansas/Missouri border Friday afternoon. The storms will race off to the east and northeast, with increasing chances of severe weather as they move into central and northeast Missouri. Damaging winds are the primary threat, but marginally severe hail and a brief tornado are also possible.  We throw away a lot of stuff, often because it's cheaper to replace rather than repair it or we just don't know how to fix it. That means these items get tossed into the trash and end up in the landfill. That’s where Repair Cafés come in. There are now thousands of Repair Cafés across the world where people with a variety of repair skills help mend broken items, keeping them in use and saving the owner money and the raw materials and energy needed to make and transport a replacement. Re.Use.Full will gather volunteers to provide free fixes for bikes, clothing, computers, small appliances and electronics and jewelry at four upcoming events: Saturday, March 15, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. St. Mark Hope and Peace Lutheran Church 3800 Troost Kansas City, Mo. Saturday, April 5, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mid-Continent Public Library Platte City Branch 2702 N.W. Prairie View Road Platte City, Mo. Saturday, June 14, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mid-Continent Public Library East Lee's Summit Branch 2240 SE Blue Pkwy Lee's Summit, Mo. Saturday, May 3, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Mid-Continent Public Library Smithville Branch 120 Richardson St. Smithville, Mo. Re.Use.Full will also accept donations of surplus tools, such as screwdrivers, hammers, clamps, pliers, wrenches, drills and soldering equipment, for use at upcoming Repair Cafés.  Re.Use.Full is a sustainability-focused nonprofit organization that has been connecting people with still-good stuff with the nonprofit organizations, schools and churches that can put it to good use since 2020. They began hosting Un-Dumpster Day events in 2022 to provide convenient, one-stop drop donation collections and recycling services and Repair Cafés in 2024 to help people repair instead of replace their household items to keep them out of the landfill. Donors can also visit reusefull.org anytime to find the items accepted by their nearly 120 KC-area charity partners, ranging from small organizations to well-known nonprofit brands like Goodwill and Big Brothers Big Sisters, and arrange for their donation. There is no charge for anyone to use the site or participate in Repair Café or Un-Dumpster Day events. Photo credit: Re.Use.Full  The National WWI Museum and Memorial and American Public Square at Jewell will host, on Tuesday, March 11, “Speaking Freely.” A panel discussion moderated by Margaret Talev (director of Syracuse University’s Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship) will explore free speech in America – its evolution, its definition and its impact on politics, education and the daily lives of U.S. residents – more than 100 years after Americans entered WWI to “make the world safe for democracy.” The program is free onsite and online. A reception at the Museum and Memorial at 5:30 p.m. will precede the in-person event at 6 p.m. The latest event in the Pershing Lecture Series is “An Enigma in Red Stripes and Gold Braid” on Tuesday, March 25 at 9:30 p.m. History remembers Erich von Falkenhayn for the “blood mill” of Verdun – despite realizing early on that attrition would be ultimately disastrous. Examine his controversial legacy with Dr. Scott Stephenson. The event is free with RSVP and available in-person and online. In the tradition of British suffragettes practicing jiu-jitsu to protect themselves in their fight for voting rights, participants can learn self-defense in a two-hour hands-on training session. “Empower: Modern Self-Defense” takes place on Saturday, March 22 at 10:30 a.m. The event is free, but registration is required (Ages 12+ only). Those who use ASL (American Sign Language) are invited to explore the Main Gallery with a knowledgeable Museum Guide on a tour translated by an ASL interpreter. The tour takes place on Saturday, March 29. Guests may sign up on the day of the tour at the Ticketing Counter. The tour begins at 2:30 and is complimentary with paid admission. March National WWI Museum and Memorial events
Designated by Congress as America’s official World War I Museum and Memorial and located in downtown Kansas City, Mo., the National WWI Museum and Memorial inspires thought, dialogue and learning to make the experiences of the Great War era meaningful and relevant for present and future generations. To learn more, visit theworldwar.org. A former Grain Valley police officer pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to charges related to the sexual exploitation of a child.
August Price Gildehaus, 28, of Blue Springs, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Greg Kays to one count of enticing a minor to engage in illegal sexual activity and one count of producing child pornography. Gildehaus, a Grain Valley police officer at the time of the offenses, was originally charged by the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office. In pleading guilty, Gildehaus admitted that he engaged in illegal sexual activity with a 15-year-old female victim. Gildehaus and the victim met on an online social media platform. Gildehaus met with the victim on five separate occasions between Aug. 5, 2022, and Jan. 5, 2023, to engage in illicit sexual activity at different locations, including a middle school parking lot. Gildehaus admitted that the child victim took photographs of herself when she was home, and he took photographs of himself that he sent to her. Gildehaus also admitted that he recorded videos of their sexual encounters. Under federal statutes, Gildehaus is subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of 25 years in federal prison without parole, up to a sentence of life in federal prison without parole. The maximum statutory sentence is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes, as the sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the court based on the advisory sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled after the completion of a presentence investigation by the United States Probation Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Maureen Brackett and was investigated by the Grain Valley Police Department and the Missouri State Highway Patrol. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Led by the United States Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who sexually exploit children, and to identify and rescue victims.
