The Kansas City excursion is the culmination of a week of special OLLI programming. We invite you to join us. Wednesday, August 5: 9:00—11:00 a.m. at NET. Join Ben Rader and Kent Krause for a short course on Kansas City baseball. BLACK BASEBALL IN KANSAS CITY is the focus of Ben Rader’s presentation. During the age of widespread legal racial segre- gation (about 1890 to the mid-1960’s), African Americans by necessity rather than choice constructed a universe of baseball mostly of their own. This presentation will examine specifically the history of a premier African-American baseball team of this era, the Kansas City Monarchs, from both an on-the-field and an off-the-field perspective. Ben Rader’s introduction to baseball was on the red-clay playground of a one-room school in the Missouri Ozarks where he later on became a fan of Harry Caray and the St. Louis Cardinals. Subsequently, he has become a fair weather fan of the Kansas City Royals as well. His book, Baseball: A History of America’s Game, is in its third edition. Kent Krause will present “THE ROYALS AND THEIR PREDECESSORS: THE HISTORY OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL IN KANSAS CITY.” In 2014 the Royals clinched a wild card berth, ending the longest playoff drought of any major American sports franchise. The team’s subsequent drive to the pennant revived memories of a golden age when the Royals annually contended for rings in the 1970s and 1980s. But, professional baseball in KC did not begin with Ewing Kauffman’s successful expansion team. The city’s baseball lineage extends back nearly a century and a half with Char- ley O. Finley’s Athletics, the American Association Blues, the Federal League Packers, and three different major league teams in the 1880s. Kent Krause has been a baseball fan since attending his first Royals game in 1976. Today, he writes content for online high school history courses and social studies textbooks. He holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Iowa State University, and a doctorate from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. His latest book is titled "Ninety Feet Away: The Story of the 2014 Kansas City Royals." Monday, August 3: 9:00—11:00 a.m. at NET. Join Lincoln musician Ed Love for an exploration of KANSAS CITY JAZZ, a style of jazz that developed in Kansas City and the surrounding metropolitan area during the 1930s. It marked the transition from the structured big band style to the musical improvisation style of Bebop. The hard-swinging, bluesy transition style is attributed to Count Basie, Bennie Moten’s Kansas City Orchestra and Kansas City native Charlie Parker. It has been said that while New Orleans was the birthplace of jazz, America’s music grew up in Kansas City which is known as one of the most popular “cradles of jazz.” Ed Love is a native of Omaha who first developed an interest in jazz at Central High School. He is a a graduate of the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Ed joined the Nebraska Jazz Orchestra as leader of the saxophone section in 1978. In 1979 he was named Music Director, and he is still serving in that capacity. He brings a wealth of musical experience to the Lincoln area, having performed with many local and regional bands and orchestras. more Friday, August 7 through Sunday, August 9: Friday, August 7: 8:00 a.m. We will depart for Kansas City via chartered motorcoach with arrival in the Kansas City area by noon, just in time for some Kansas City barbeque at Arthur Bryants, THE home of great barbeque. Arthur Bryant, the legendary King of Ribs, is the most renowned barbequer in history. He created a sauce that has attracted the likes of former Presidents Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter to his restaurant . considered to be the best restaurant in the world by New Yorker columnist Calvin Trillin. Lunch will be on your own so you can order as much or as little as you wish. 1:00 p.m. This afternoon we will follow-up on the OLLI presentations about Kansas City baseball and jazz with visits to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and The Jazz Museum. Founded in 1990, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history of African-American baseball. It features multi-media displays and artifacts dating from the late 1800s through the 1960s. The Jazz Museum, located next door showcases the sights and sounds of jazz through interactive exhibits and films. Its mission is to celebrate and exhibit the experience of jazz as an original American art form through the four pillars of research, exhibition, education and performance at one of the world’s greatest crossroads—18th & Vine. 4:00 p.m. Travel to our hotel, Hampton Inn at the crossroads of I-435 and Metcalf in Overland Park. Time to check into your room and refresh yourself for tonight’s show. 6:00 p.m. We have reserved seats at the New Theatre Restaurant in Overland Park for the included dinner and performance of the Broadway musical The Addams Family. This show features an original story, and it's every father's nightmare. Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. A man her parents have never met. And if that weren't upsetting enough, she confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he's never done before - keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents. Saturday, August 8: Sleep in this morning for a little while, then enjoy the included breakfast at our hotel prior to our departure for the day. 10:00 a.m. This morning we will tour the national World War I Museum. Steeped in history, the National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial is America’s only museum dedicated to sharing the stories of the Great War through the eyes of those who lived it. Interactive displays, thought-provoking films and eyewitness testimonies help guide visitors through one of the largest collections of WWI artifacts in the world. From the first shots fired in 1914 to the last attempts at peace in 1919, this award-winning museum offers a global perspective of “The War to End All Wars,” and includes firsthand accounts from the battlefield and home front alike. Lunch will be on your own at the Farmers’ Market area next to our afternoon stop at the Steamship Arabia Museum. more 1:00 p.m. Our afternoon stop is at the Steamship Arabia Museum. When the mighty Steamboat Arabia sank near Kansas City on September 5, 1856, she carried 200 tons of mystery cargo. Lost for 132 years, its recovery in 1988 was like finding the King Tut’s Tomb of the Missouri River. Remarkably preserved clothes, tools, guns, dishware and more. The discovery was truly a modern day treasure-hunting story at its best. Guided tours include a short movie and explanation of the excavation process. Guests will see the treasures recovered from the Arabia and have the chance to watch preservationists restoring artifacts in the museum’s lab 4:00 p.m.

  • American Jazz Museum
    AMERICAN JAZZ MUSEUM ANNUAL REPORT | FISCAL YEAR 2014 OUR MISSION To celebrate and exhibit the experience of jazz as an original American art form through performance, exhibitions, education, and research at one of the country’s jazz crossroads: 18th & Vine. OUR VISION To become a premier destination that will expand the in!uence and knowledge of jazz throughout greater Kansas City and the world. OUR HISTORY Many years ago, 18th & Vine buzzed with the culture and commerce of Kansas City’s African-American community. The infectious energy of the people gave life to a new kind of music… and the music gave it right back to the people. Over the years the area languished, but the music and the musicians became legends! In 1989, the City of Kansas City, Missouri committed $26 million to a revitalization of 18th & Vine, led by the visionary and tireless efforts of then City Councilman and now Congressman Emanuel Cleaver II (former Kansas City Mayor.) By 1997, the city had a vibrant new complex housing the Kansas City Jazz Museum and the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, as well as the Horace M. Peterson III Visitor Center, with a newly refurbished Gem Theater across the street. Soon after, the Museum and its board and staff determined that the Kansas City Jazz Museum’s name should be changed to the American Jazz Museum to re!ect that the museum is the only museum in the world that is totally devoted to America’s true classical music -- jazz. The American Jazz Museum continues to ful"ll its mission by serving as a good caretaker of its collections and artifacts, as well as managing the Blue Room jazz club, the Gem Theater, the Changing Gallery, and the public spaces of the Museums at 18th & Vine.

(NYSE: TCO) and The Macerich Company (NYSE: MAC) today announced an agreement to purchase Country Club Plaza (Kansas City, Mo.) from Highwoods Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HIW). The purchase price for the mixed-use retail and office property is $660 million cash, excluding transaction costs. Taubman and Macerich will each have a 50% interest in the center, which will be jointly managed by both companies. Concurrent with or shortly after closing, a long-term, fixed-rate loan for 50-60% of the purchase price is expected to be placed on the asset. “Taubman and Macerich are bringing our collective expertise together to continue to ensure the long-term growth and success of the iconic Country Club Plaza,” said Robert S. Taubman, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Taubman Centers. “This purchase is consistent with our strategy to own high quality, dominant assets in great markets.” ”This investment represents the latest example of Macerich’s continuing strategy of recycling capital out of slower-growth assets, including Panorama Mall which we recently sold for $100 million, into truly irreplaceable, market-dominant centers with stronger growth prospects,” said Arthur Coppola, chairman and chief executive officer of Macerich. “Together with Taubman, we see opportunities to expand the market reach of the Plaza as well as the potential for further retail densification of this timeless asset.” The transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of Taubman and Macerich.

    www.artskc.org PRESIDENT & CEO ORGANIZATION ArtsKC (Metropolitan Arts Council of Greater Kansas City) is a leading cultural agency for the greater Kansas City area created to support, promote, and advocate for the entire arts and culture sector. Following its move, one year ago, to a newly renovated building in the thriving Crossroads arts district, the organization has rebranded itself as ArtsKC and is poised to move forward and embrace its vision to unleash the power of the arts. Founded in 1999, the arts council was formed in conjunction with the attempt to gain regional funding from local tax sources. Though the public funding did not come to fruition, the Arts Council of Kansas City was formed by a pioneering group of individuals, led by Chair Shirley Bush Helzberg, who saw the need for advocacy and general funding for the regional cultural sector. ArtsKC currently serves five counties in the bi-state region: Clay, Jackson, and Platte counties in Missouri and Johnson and Wyandotte counties in Kansas. Arts in this region account for $250 million in economic impact, and the area boasts over 250 arts nonprofits and 350 arts related businesses. The creative economy accounts for 4.3% of all business, twice the national average. Internationally acclaimed arts venues and performance organizations include: the 285,000-square foot Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, the Kansas City Symphony, the Kansas City Friends of Alvin Ailey, the Lyric Opera of Kansas City, the Kansas City Ballet, The Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the American Jazz Museum, and the Kansas City Art Institute.
