World War II vet Maury Dubinsky was invited by the Kansas City Royals to sit in its ‘Seat of Honor’ on Wednesday, Aug. 13. The 91-year-old was a Navy pilot who flew Corsair planes. He still actively speaks to groups about his experiences. Three different times he was shown on the scoreboard — once sitting in his seat with his wife beside him; a group photo of him and some other Navy buddies during the war; and the photo above of Dubinsky when he was 19 wearing his uniform.

Levin was honored for her passion and dedication to the Unicorn with the official renaming of The Main Stage as The Levin Stage. Pictured with Levin are Cheryl Benge (from left), Gabrielle Capps, Diane Capps and Manon Halliburton.
Israel was represented at the 35th Annual Ethnic Enrichment Festival the weekend of Aug. 15-17.

We took a picture together with Mayor Sly James’ (third from right).
