Tuesday Oddity: From the Sheriff Log

It wouldn't be the item stolen to be funny. Would it be funny to have your trees cut down, dug up or carted off? Besides these we probably prepped to be picked up to be sold.

Tuesday Oddity: From the Sheriff Log

Yes, Chevy_Guy, you can sometimes get good money out of a walnut. The lumber industry only wants them tall enough and straight enough. Those are usually by creeks and water access. But if it is native walnut, wood workers like to buy that wood. I have a gun cabinet out of native walnut, it has a beautiful purple hue in the wood. Unsure how to help you with the stains, usually need to wear off of things.

Truthfully, that would be like making humor out of someone stealing several hundred dollars from you. I don't think that you would find that funny, Mr. Walker. Especially at Christmas time.

Fire fatal to 94-year-old

It was a woman. Not a man. My sympathies to her family.

Hartford wants to add Olpe students

That is pre enrollment offerings. That is kinda like a survey. They sent out a sheet to the kids to rank those classes 1-8 then they see where the votes are and what of the top vote getters they can offer. It isn't a guarantee of any of those classes. Parents make sure you sign yours and get it back in it is due March 11th. This is a time to tell what classes are important and your vote counts.

Hartford wants to add Olpe students

We are down to four or five full timers at the high school, jr high level. For them to teach the core classes, there is not time for them to teach the elective courses. The only way we will get those classes is if we share a teacher with Olpe for those classes, then they would be taught every other day with the schedule. I haven't heard, like I said, if Olpe was being cut or if they would be sharing with us. With teacher count at now, there will be no electives. Are you saying you feel Olpe will be sending over teachers?

Hartford wants to add Olpe students

Tell the people that got cut last week that it is only a rumor. They were told they were cut by Argebright. It was not on a schedule it was straight firings.

Hartford wants to add Olpe students

If you had asked me last month, I would say to save the district, I would lose my elementary building and go with a k-12. Within the last two weeks the people of Hartford have had multiple teachers fired and told that next years k-12 building will not have shop classes, art classes, home ec classes or elective pe classes. Our kids are down to only core classes?! I am not sure of the cuts at Olpe only to know they lost art because she was a shared teacher already. I would rather consolidate the schools and have a choice in classes or move my kids to a school that does. That is why now the parents at HHS/NRJH are backed into the corner of consolidation. If the mixing of students weren't bad enough now our older kids have nothing but core classes, and the math teacher is even going to be part-time? Sincerely, Jo Anne Kuhens mother of three, 13, 11 and 8.

Townspeople turn out in Olpe

Yes, the fund does exist and has been fully functional for a long time. Yes it is tax deductible. You would need to get with the school board for all the details. The fund is handled well with funds going either where you say or you just leaving it up to the Board. Youngncrazy, I know Hamilton is still their own school but I believe they participate in sports with Madison.
