Good afternoon! Josue here.

Notable news came out of Tuesday's Montrose City Council meeting. Three local mobile home parks — San Juan, Green Acres and Cottonwood — received permit approvals for proposed improvements.

Staff writer Cassie Knust's story offers a look at what residents at those parks can expect and the preliminary timeline for the improvements.

Enjoy retirement, Mike: After nearly four years as executive director of Welcome Home Alliance for Veterans, Mike Trickey is ready to retire.

I met Mike on Memorial Day 2020 when I was reporting on the day's events. The American Legion Riders of Montrose honored fallen veterans at Valley Lawn Cemetery and later had a "22 run."

When we met, I learned Mike is kind, thoughtful and so clearly passionate to help the veterans in the community. It's why the resource center has become such a viable community resource.

Mike plans to stick around. He wants to continue on a volunteer basis at the resource center.

History made at The Bridges: If you haven't read Wednesday's coverage of the American Junior Golf Association, you're missing out on history — literally.

Zachery Pollo of California shot an 11-under-par 60 and went into today with a five-shot lead. But that 60 is a course record, besting Jeremy Lederer's and Justin Fox's previous record of 64.

At 13 under through 11 holes earlier today, Pollo positioned himself for a stupendous finish to cap his masterclass effort.

Montrose's Jordan Jennings, Noah Richmond, Connor Bell (above) and Jake Legg performed well, too, and improved their scores on Wednesday.

Sweet, sweet return: It's back. The Olathe Sweet Corn Festival returns after its cancellation last year due to the pandemic.

On Saturday, Aug. 7, expect live music, a variety of vendors and, obviously, all the corn you can eat.

The parade kicks off the event-packed day at 9 a.m. in downtown Olathe.
