Seasoned Olpe powers over young 'Hawks

BY TONY FURSE

Olpe scored on eight of its 10 game possessions Friday night to win a non-league matchup in shutting out Jayhawk-Linn, 54-0.
The hometown Eagles amassed 373 total offensive yards and held the Jayhawks to 7 net positive yards on 29 snaps.
The highlight of the evening for the 'Hawks were big defensive-secondary plays in the second quarter to stop Olpe drives, the first by junior Reed Krull, the second from senior Trevor Brownback.

Pleasanton council votes 2-2 on RNR, budget

By BARBARA PROFFITT

The Pleasanton City Council met on Monday, Sept. 15, and began the meeting with a hearing on the revenue neutral rate (RNR) followed by the budget hearing.

With no one in the audience coming forward to speak on either, the hearings were opened and closed without incident and Mayor Mathew Young then asked for a motion to approve Resolution 462 regarding the exceedance of the revenue neutral rate by 74.795 mills. Council member Angelina Randall made that motion and it was seconded by council member Aaron Portmann. That motion failed to carry on a 2-2 vote and Mayor Mathew Young voted yes to break the tie. Randall then made a motion to accept the 2026 budget as presented and that motion was also seconded by Portmann and a roll call vote on the motion came down to a 2-2 result, as well.

Mine Creek Battlefield bridge ribbon cutting this weekend

By JACKIE TAYLOR

JLHS sophomore Aron Coleman is not new to community projects; this time he’s completed a bridge for his Eagle Scout badge so those using trails at Mine Creek Battlefield can traverse from one side of Mine Creek to the other.

The ribbon cutting commemorating the new bridge will be held Saturday, Sept. 20 at noon at the bridge on the south side of the battlefield, east of the Confederate Memorial. The ribbon cutting is being held in conjunction with Heritage Days at the battlefield.

Aron’s dad, Aron, said that there were a number of rank requirements necessary in order for his son to earn his Eagle Scout badge; included were 14 Eagle Scout Merit Badges and seven of any other type of badge Aron might have had an interest in.

USD 346 to exceed RNR; approves budget

By BARBARA PROFFITT

During the revenue neutral hearing and the budget hearing for the district on Sept. 8, the USD 346 Board of Education voted to approve the superintendents’ recommendation to exceed revenue neutral with a proposed mill rate of 54.144.

The board then approved the proposed 2025-2026 budget with mill rates as accepted during the Revenue Neutral Rate hearing.

In other matters, the council:

- Heard from Mandy Higgins and Kim Boehm regarding successful practices. The pair told the board about the transition to the FastBridge screener, which will allow for comparable data from JES to JLHS. Using this screener, they are able to create intervention groups for all students targeted to fit their specific needs and then discussed the state assessment and the recalibration of cut scores.

Blood Drive: The Battle of the Badges

By BARBARA PROFFITT

A community blood drive has been scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 23 from 1:30-5:30 p.m. at the Sacred Heart Catholic Church Hall located at 729 W. Main Street.

The event is being hailed as the Battle of the Badges though anyone and everyone who is able to donate is asked to do so.

Those who wear a badge, be it law enforcement, fire or emergency services, will be counted as part of that group. Everyone else is given the option of casting their vote for the badge type of their choice.

“It’s just a friendly competition between them to see which group gets the most votes,” said organizer Emily Dixon, adding, “all they get out of it is bragging rights.”

In addition, anyone donating will receive a free, limited-edition t-shirt, until supplies are gone.

For more information contact Dixon at 620-215-2291 or Shari Dickerson at 913-238-1685 or simply sign up at savealifenow.org/group and use the group code NR.
