Baseball fans got to take their furry friends out to the ballgame Sunday as the Royals hosted the fifth annual Bark at the Park event at Kauffman Stadium. Sections 107-109 and 206-209 at The K were reserved for dogs and their humans, and there were special vendors and activities.
A frustrating series came to an end in a rather familiar fashion for the Royals, who blew a two-run lead and never recovered in a 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Angels at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday.
Brazilian Tony Kanaan is the Indy 500's hard-luck loser no more. He is its champion at last, fittingly with a dose of good luck for a change. Kanaan, who came into Sunday's race with the most laps led at Indy without a win, finally added that missing piece to his resume.
Finding people to cast blame upon, satisfying a vindictive zeal, says little to the broader questions surrounding Missouri’s child welfare agency. Bureaucracies often throw a few people under the wheels. Reshaping an agency’s culture is far more difficult.

The 2013 Celtic Thunder Ride for the Warriors took place Sunday morning, starting at the Elks Lodge in Blue Springs and ending the Department of Veterans Affairs Hospital in Kansas City. There were stops along the way at the All Veterans Memorial in Pink Hill Park in Blue Springs and the Missouri Veterans Cemetery in Higginsville.
Sporting Kansas City played to a 1-1 stalemate with the rival Houston Dynamo on Sunday at Sporting Park. Trailing by a goal in the second half, Sporting KC salvaged a point on forward Kei Kamara’s first goal since returning from a three-month loan to Norwich City of the English Premier League.
For five years, an anguished Kelly Riemann has haunted and hounded those she holds responsible for her son Daniel’s death on Ward Parkway on Mother’s Day 2008. Now, having exhausted all avenues for the justice she feels was denied, she struggles to move forward.
With a three-day weekend, there are plenty of options for fun and entertainment around Kansas City, including the Royals and Celebration at the Station.
Saturday’s show at Crossroads KC was a contrast in songwriting. The Drive By Truckers headlined the show with its trademark blend of country and Southern rock. The opening band, the Old 97’s, have been labeled an alternative-country band, but these days most of their country accents have faded.
One of the keys to encouraging reading is to make it fun with exciting and funny books. Middle-grade readers who find an author they like, especially one who has books in a series or multiple series lines such as Lemony Snicket and Eoin Colfer, may have an entire summer of reading to dive into.
In military lingo, the location of the lost crew of Spooky 21 was a classic SWAG: Scientific Wild-Ass Guess. That’s the term investigators use for figuring out something as unpredictable as where a plane should have crashed when it got shot out of the sky in Laos.
The Chiefs have revealed plenty of two-tight end formations during their offseason program and spent plenty of time at least trying to throw the ball to both of their new tight ends, Anthony Fasano and Travis Kelce. The signs are everywhere that the tight end as a pass receiver is back in the Chiefs offense under new coach Andy Reid.
Baking bread is at once invigorating and soothing. You can take out aggression on dough, hurl it at the counter from a foot high and punch it with your fists if you want. You can’t hurt it. Or you can find a gentle reverie in the dough, squeeze its cool pillowy sides with your finger and rock the heels of your hands lazily back and forth in the center. The main thing is to find a rhythm and just keep going.
This shared moment should inspire us. As we pay tribute on Memorial Day to those we’ve lost, we can also unite in being grateful for our armed forces, the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to preserve our freedom.
Black youths must realize that, just as in Martin Luther King’s era, they must excel in education. Anita L. Russell, the president of the Kansas City branch of the NAACP, says African-Americans’ history has to be preserved so that young people will feel the same responsibility to continue to advance.
The selection has never been greater or more stylish for outdoor furniture. There’s all-weather wicker, modern mesh and other open weaves. Teak in all shades from honey to warm grays, metal in sleek stainless steel and rustic wrought-iron looks in a range of painted hues.
An NCAA Tournament loss to Michigan left coach Bill Self dejected. But after signing two top recruits in May, the Kansas Jayhawks are back “in the game” again.
