Dear Abby: I have a friend, “Tara,” I have known for a long time. Early in our friendship when we made plans, she would bring her boyfriend along (without asking or telling me she was). When she began dating her now-husband, it continued. I did grow to like him and appreciated the chance to get to know him, but I thought it could have been handled better (a planned event where we all hung out occasionally, not her dragging him along to everything we had planned together).
Dear Doctors: As someone who was born with Type 1 diabetes, I’m very interested in any new advances that make it easier to live with this disease. I’ve recently heard on the news that someone has actually been cured. Is that possible? Is there going to be a treatment soon?
Kayleigh Jenkins not only played a key role in Blue Springs’ 57-51 win over visiting Lee’s Summit West Wednesday, she created a pass that will forever be known as “The Whoop.” Lee’s Summit West had cut the Wildcats’ lead to 47-38 with 2:46 left in the fourth quarter when Jenkins came up with a steal at midcourt. As she drove to the basket, she came up with a creative pass to teammate Nikole Schnell, who hit a layup to bring the lead back to double digits.

The Blue Springs boys basketball team was close to its third straight win Wednesday. But key mistakes down the stretch in overtime allowed host Park Hill South to claim a 47-45 non-conference victory in a defensive battle.
Beneath a pale winter light and the glare of television cameras, it seemed hard not to see the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot for what it was. The violent storming of the Capitol by Donald Trump supporters bent on upending the election of Joe Biden was as clear as day: democracy under siege, livestreamed in real time. H Yet a year later, when it comes to a where-were-you moment in U.S. history, there is far from national consensus.
