TERMINAL MAKEOVERS: You’ve been listening for months now to the debate over whether Kansas City should change the design of KCI airport from a three terminal to a one-terminal design. Well what’s been the experience in other cities that have splashed out lots of money on new airport makeovers? This week the Kansas City Star examined that issue and in every comparable city they examined, passenger traffic is down and so are aircraft departures.

CURFEW STALLED: Have plans for a 9pm year-round teen curfew in Kansas City fizzled out? A vote on the measure was delayed yet again at City Hall this week.

KCMO SCHOOL TAKEOVER: Missouri lawmakers this week drop on to the Governor’s desk legislation allowing an immediate takeover of the Kansas City, MO district. Will Governor Nixon sign the measure in to law? And what impact will it have on the beleaguered district?

GORDON PARKS: The parents of more than 200 elementary school children at a Kansas City charter school are forced to a find a new place to educate their kids this week. The Missouri State Department of Education is shutting down Gordon Parks Elementary School after 13 years due to low test scores.

LOCKED IN BASEMENT: The Jackson County Prosecutor’s office this week charge a local couple with keeping their 9-year-old girl locked in the basement for months because she lacked bladder control. Authorities say the 9 year old was sleeping on a mostly deflated air mattress near an exposed sewage pipe. An interior door leading to the basement was secured by a lock and chain and had been outfitted with an alarm that sounded when the door was opened.

AMTRAK: Is Kansas City about to lose its Amtrak rail service to St. Louis? The twice-a-day train is in jeopardy according to a story this week in the Kansas City Star. The issue taxpayers spend $1.5 billion a year to subsidize passenger train travel, and the federal government — weary of a four-decade effort to keep the company afloat — wants to move more of Amtrak’s costs onto states and riders. At a cost of $9,600 per ride to operate the train, Missouri taxpayers would be on the hook for $8.5 million a year.

LIBERTY HOSPITAL LAYS OFF 129 EMPLOYEES, BLAMES OBAMACARE: 129 workers at Liberty Hospital are getting their pink slips. They are being eliminated this week as part of an effort to reduce expenses by $20 million. Devastated employees including nurses and some senior managers left the hospital in tears after being told to collect their belongings.

GOOGLE EVERYWHERE: Gladstone, Grandview, Raytown, Shawnee, Olathe. Plus, Austin, TX and Provo, UT. The list keeps growing by the week. Are leaders in KCK and KCMO feeling they’ve lost their specialness now that the internet giant is inking “special” deals with all these other cities?

Melanoma Awareness Month: More Than Skin Deep Skin Cancer Special

As part of Melanoma Awareness Month, The Local Show takes a closer look at an under-estimated killer: Skin Cancer. In this hour-long, live special, viewers will have the opportunity to speak with dermatologists and medical experts.

There will be more cases of skin cancer diagnosed in the United States this year than all other cancers combined. Kansas and Missouri have two of the 10 highest state death rates from melanoma, according to a 2010 EPA study.

On this special edition of The Local Show, KCPT partners with the producers of the national public television documentary, More Than Skin Deep, to tell the story of skin cancer. During this one-hour special you’ll also have a chance to speak to area dermatologists in the KCPT phonebank to address your own medical concerns. And we’ll take your calls with a panel of medical experts live on the air.

CLEVELAND ABDUCTION TO KC CLOSET: The Cleveland abduction case in which three women were locked away for a decade before being finally liberated this week brings with it questions about how this can happen, for so long, without anyone noticing? But they happen more often than we care to acknowledge. Just this past week, the files on a 10 year-old Kansas City girl locked in a closet for years are finally released by the state. The files reveal how a whole community including neighbors, school and social service workers missed repeated opportunities to rescue the girl who was forced to live in her own urine and feces. The 10 year-old known as LP weighed just 26 pounds, the size many babies reach at 18 months.

OTTAWA HOMICIDES: Sometimes citizens aren’t willing to take no for an answer and are willing to press forward with their gut feelings. In Ottawa, KS this week, it took the relentless pursuit of friends and not the police to uncover what ultimately turned out to be a triple homicide. This ongoing crime story has brought with it a number of bigger public policy questions including controversy over when law enforcement should trigger an Amber Alert.

MISSOURI PASSES FIRST INCOME TAX REDUCTIONS IN 90 YEARS: Big cuts in corporate and personal income tax rates are sent to the Governor’s desk. Missouri lawmakers also approve a new 50% deduction in business income reported on individual tax returns. The tax cut could reduce state revenue by an estimated $700 million a year. Is the move simply a game of catch-up with Kansas? And will the Governor sign the cuts into law?

SHOULD TEACHERS BE GRADED ON A YEARLY BASIS AND THOSE THAT FAIL BE FIRED? Wealthy St. Louis businessman Rex Sinquefield is actively pushing a statewide measure that would do just that after an effort in the Missouri legislature to impose yearly evaluations on teachers narrowly fails. The bill would have assigned teachers one of four ratings: highly effective, effective, minimally effective or ineffective. At least 33% of the evaluation would be based on the academic achievement and growth of students.

SHOCKINGLY LARGE PROPERTY APPRAISALS DROP INTO MAILBOXES: In Jackson County, some of those home appraisals were 5 times as high as last year’s. The Kansas City Star reported on one resident who saw her 3-bedroom home on the rolls at $48,000 last year be appraised at $229,000 this year. Roughly 70,000 Jackson County residents are getting the new appraisals delivered through their mailboxes this week.
