📰 News we're reading
• Frontenac OKs scooter ordinance (morningsun.net) — Frontenac city leaders have approved a new ordinance restricting electric scooter use after dark on city streets, aiming to keep local kids safer this summer. The rules mirror Kansas traffic laws, emphasize proper lighting, and strongly encourage helmets for riders under 18, while still allowing scooters in driveways and parking lots at night. 
• Frontenac daycare closing leaves families in limbo (fourstateshomepage.com) — A Frontenac day care, Kids First Day Care, will close June 26, leaving roughly 30 families scrambling for new child care options on short notice. Parents and administrators describe financial struggles behind the decision, while another local mom urges families to vet replacement providers carefully for licensing and safety certifications.
• ‘Dolson back tonight to face his accusers' (morningsun.net) — A look back through Crawford County newspaper archives recalls a 1920s bank scandal, 1970s local election filings, and a 2001 Frontenac Homecoming that celebrated the city’s newly renovated pool. The retrospective also touches on past Pittsburg businesses, school leadership, and a fatal crash near Pittsburg.
