  Federal, state leaders salute Joplin’s recovery

  A deadly May twister may have punched a hole in Joplin and Duquesne two years ago, but the resolve to repair it will help other communities stand strong when they face similar disasters. That was the message of state and national diginitaries to a crowd of about 2,500 who observed the second anniversary of Joplin’s devastating May 22, 2011, storm during a ceremony Wednesday in Cunningham Park.

• No need for camping trip to enjoy roasted s'mores, hot dogs

• Sarah Coyne: Sick baby requires extra care

  It's harder, though, when the suffering little one is an infant. Most medicines aren't approved for use in kids under 2 years old, and even if they were, it's hard to be sure exactly what their issues are if they can't yet speak for themselves.
