Stop being so touchy-feely with first responders. In Peter Rugg's feature, "Stop Hugging Us," Kansas City psychiatrists with experience from one of Kansas City's worst disasters -- the Hyatt skywalk collapse -- tell grief counselors to back off and stop making first responders talk about what they've seen.

Also this week, Pitch Editor C.J. Janovy answers some of the lingering questions in the wake of Anne Winter's death.

Janovy also looks at the awesome Oxford Project at the Belger Arts Center.

The Buckle Bunny listens and looks at the sounds inside the 1819 Gallery.

And Ferruzza reviews the fairly new Chilli n Spice Indian Bistro.

On the Plog, we learned that ...

Cynthia Davis wants guns in churches.

A racial discrimination lawsuit may be coming against the Power & Light District over its dress code.

Kenny Rogers should feel at home inside the Independence Events Center.

K2 will get you high.

The city hired a consultant for the convention hotel.

The deadline for the Kansas City FilmFest is coming soon.

Chiefs fans don't want Larry Johnson to be Kansas City's leading rusher.
