WEEKLY/SEMANAL - KANSAS CITY, MO

Stacey Calderon has made a career out of serving the underserved.

Last week, two days after Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr. was removed from his office by way of a recall by the voters, Jackson County Legislature Chairman DaRon McGee announced the appointment of a veteran in politics and former Kansas City Mayor Kay Barnes who accepted the temporary Jackson County Executive position.

The Chiefs were humming, rolling along like a couple out for a stroll on a lazy Monday evening, hands entwined walking blissfully along the promenade, the soft glow of the evening lights framing a love story in the making.
