Local community members held a memorial ride in Lee's Summit on July 12th to honor a paramedic who lost his life in the line of duty — the event saw riders following a prearranged route to pay tribute to his service.

A nonprofit in Lee’s Summit taught students trade career skills on July 12+ the program gives them hands-on training to prepare for future work opportunities.
