Reward fundraiser set for Saturday in Raytown jogger case

Hope stays afloat for Truman yacht repairs

The former president’s yacht, the USS Williamsburg, has had one tow line in the grave for 20 years, about as long as it has been deteriorating at a shipyard in northern Italy. But hope remains among those who would like to see the 243-foot vessel returned to glory. The price, however, is high, and rust is merciless.

Summer dining: Savor the season’s fresh flavors

Restaurant patios around the city are abuzz with al fresco diners eager to sip and sup under the stars. Festivals are in full swing, serving up barbecue, cotton candy and street food. Farmers markets on both sides of the state line supply shoppers with local produce for bountiful dinners on the grill.

Summer events: A day-by-day list of activities

OK, so you have relatives coming in from out of town this summer. You want to show them what a neat place Kansas City is, but there are so many things to do, and you’re not sure how to pick and choose. Save this list, and you’ll have a perfect itinerary no matter when or how long the interlopers stay.

A breakfast to raise more reward money in the 2012 death of Raytown’s Harry Stone is scheduled for 8 to 11 a.m. Saturday at Ascension Lutheran Church, 4900 Blue Ridge Blvd. T-shirts and wristbands also will be sold.

Stone, 60, died May 13 after being shot while jogging in Raytown. No one has been arrested. A $20,000 reward is being offered. Investigators urge anyone with information to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (474-8477).
