'Cribbagepalooza' raises funds for veterans services
Players and veterans participated in a lighthearted competition that welcomed everyone, from seasoned pros to beginners simply looking for a good time. The event raised money for Mt. Carmel Veterans Services and its programs supporting military families in the region.
'Cribbage is a card game,' said Chuck Denham, a retired Air Force Veteran. 'You get six cards, you keep four, put two in what's called the crib. The dealer gets the crib. So you start playing cards. The idea is to get to 15 and to 31 pairs, three of a kind runs; they all count, but you can't go over 31.'
24 players took part in the event, raising $610 for Mt. Carmel. Denham won the tournament. 'I enjoy cribbage,' he said. 'Numbers are my game. I'm a mathematician by education and trade, and I just love the counting.'
Justina Baker, the Community Outreach Volunteer Coordinator at Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center, spoke about the importance of programs to help veterans in the community.
'We are a largely populated veteran community here, we have the most bases surrounding [us],' said Baker. 'We need the most help. So we help with everything from transition employment, to suicide prevention, with the Next Chapter, and veterans that need help on their benefits. If we can't help you, we know somebody that can, but we do everything here and we're just super grateful.'

Royals RHP Seth Lugo signs multi-year contract extension
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – One of the best starting pitchers in the American League is staying put in Kansas City for the foreseeable future. The Royals signed RHP Seth Lugo to a multi-year contract extension on Sunday, according to reports. His deal is worth a guaranteed $46 million over two years, with a vesting option in 2028. The deal also includes a $3 million signing bonus. This move vanquishes any trade rumors involving Lugo ahead of the trade deadline on Thursday. Lugo was on the last year of a three-year, $45 million deal he signed in December of 2023. He has arguably been the Royals' best pitcher since joining the team. Royals LHP Kris Bubic placed on 15-day IL with rotator cuff strain He had a career year in 2024, finishing second in the AL Cy Young Award voting and earning an All-Star selection, while helping lead the Royals to their first playoff appearance since 2015. Lugo is having another solid year in 2025. He is 7-5 with an ERA of 2.95 and 99 strikeouts to 33 walks. His name had been a mainstay in trade rumors over the past few weeks, but recent series wins against the Cubs and Guardians likely eliminated the Royals from being sellers before the deadline. Lugo's next scheduled start is on Tuesday, when the Royals take on the Braves at home. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
