Pint-sized superhero vanquishes villains in Kansas City
By DUGAN ARNETT� e Kansas City Star
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When the city needed a hero on a recent Fri-day, 6-year-old Isai Rojas didn’t ask questions.
He simply dropped his fork, left what little remained of the pan-cakes and sausage on his plate, and slipped into his personalized shiny gold-and-red, crime-fi ghting super-hero suit.
Then he set about saving this fountain-fi lled metropolis we call home.
It started with the villain Cu-caracha, sleazy even by villain standards. Dressed in a bug-like costume manned by Overland Park standup comedian Randy Burgard, Cucaracha — Spanish for “cock-roach” — surfaced early in the morning inside a Mission restau-rant, attempting to steal a woman’s purse.
Unfortunately for him, he picked the same Bob Evans that Isai and his family happened to be patron-izing.
What happened next, accord-ing to witnesses and grainy cell phone photos, is this: Flanked by his parents (Gustavo and Ida-nia Rojas), 7-year-old brother (Aleksei) and 8-month-old sister (Yaretzi), Iron Boy chased the vil-lain away.
But it hardly ended there. That incident kicked off an adventure that — thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Missouri, which helped facilitate the creation of “Muchacho de Hierro” — would span eight hours, two states and warrant a bundle of media atten-tion.
Here was a hero, after all, that Kansas City could get behind, much like “Batkid” captured the heart of San Francisco.
This pint-sized kindergartner who likes art and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had battled through
a leukemia diagnosis — now in remission — since the age of 2. A superhero secure enough in his self-image to allow his mom, at one point, to assist him in blowing his nose.
And one, it turned out, whose own childhood had prepared him for this moment.
“Cucaracha,” he explained in a manner that suggested mild annoy-ance, “is just like my brother.”
It was just four years ago, after all, that Isai’s Shawnee parents, concerned with the random bruis-ing and loss of appetite from which their son suffered, took him to a local hospital. A spinal tap would confi rm leukemia. The diagnosis left his parents in confused disbe-lief and launched a grueling stretch of procedures, chemo sessions and doctors visits.
“When you’re not informed about a disease, you’re not expect-ing that leukemia can happen to one of your family members,” said his father, Gustavo Rojas. “It takes some time to understand what’s going on.”
Eventually, Make-A-Wish stepped in, as it had in November for San Francisco’s Miles Scott, an-other leukemia sufferer in remis-sion.
“We do it for the kids,” said Mis-souri’s brand advancement manag-er, Kate Fotenos, who was on hand for the festivities. “And being able to see it fi rsthand just reinforces that.”
The day wouldn’t be without its
diffi culties, however.Less than an hour after fl ee-
ing the restaurant, word quickly spread that Cucaracha had wea-seled his way into Crown Center’s Legoland, where he’d begun creep-ing around. That is, until Mucha-cho tracked him down, knocked him out basically with a single punch and then locked him inside a handy Lego cell.
But like many of his cockroach brethren, Cucaracha refused to be vanquished and slithered away.
Indeed, after a brief encounter at Adventure Zip, a Bonner Springs zipline operation, during which Cu-caracha was again able to escape, word came around 3 p.m. that the unthinkable had happened: In a disturbing turn of events, Cucara-cha had invaded Kauffman Stadi-um.
The team’s beloved mascot, Slug-gerrr, had been tied to a pole, with Muchacho being dared into one fi -nal showdown.
Muchacho roared to the rescue, in his best Tony Stark fashion. This was a kid, after all, who’d confi dent-ly assured listeners earlier, “I know how to kill bad guys.”
Fortunately the police arrived before anything that dire could hap-pen.
When the dust had settled, Slug-gerrr had been rescued, Cucara-cha had been escorted away by the coppers and order had been restored.
“Watching him run around and try to get this bad guy?” said his fa-ther. “There’s no way to describe it.”
There would be more to do, of course. More bad guys to foil. More battles to fi ght.
But that would come later. As he and Sluggerrr headed off together, hand-in-paw, Muchacho de Hierro could take solace in one simple fact:
His work — for now, anyway — was done.
Watching him run around and try to get
this bad guy? There’s no way to describe it.

Gasoline prices have familiar look as summer nears
By JONATHAN FAHEYAssociated Press
NEW YORK — The price of gasoline looks famil-iar this Memorial Day. For the third year in a row, the national average will be within a penny or two of $3.64 per gallon.
Stability wasn’t always the norm. Between 2003 and 2008 average retail gasoline prices more than doubled, reaching an all-time high of $4.11 per gal-lon in 2008. Prices then collapsed as the U.S. plunged into recession. But after a two-year run-up between 2009 and 2011, the price of gasoline has remained in a range of roughly $3.25 to $3.75 per gallon.
Drivers can handle that, according to AAA, and are ready to head out for Memorial Day driving trips in the highest numbers since 2005. “It is un-likely that gas prices will have a signifi cant effect on travel plans compared to a year ago,” AAA wrote in its annual Memorial Day forecast.
Steady gasoline prices are largely the result of relatively steady crude oil prices, even though there has been a long list of global supply disruptions and political turmoil that typically would push the price of oil higher.
Sanctions have sharply cut output from Iran, once the world’s third largest oil exporter. Libya went through civil war, and labor and political disruptions continue to limit its exports. Venezu-ela’s oil output has been steadily declining for a decade. Most recently, the confl ict between Rus-sia and Ukraine is raising concerns that sanc-tions will impact production or exports from Russia, the world’s second largest exporter after Saudi Arabia.
But rising crude output in countries such as the U.S., Canada and Brazil have offset the declining supply elsewhere, helping to keep prices steady.
Gary Frow fuels his 32-foot Intrepid boat in this May 21 photo at the Matheson Ham-mock Park Marina in Miami. After a sharp two-year run-up be-tween 2009 and 2011, as the U.S. was emerg-ing from the Great Re-cession, annual average gas prices have stayed in a very narrow range.
