North Platte will have girls softball team beginning with the 1995-96 school year. The R-1 school board approved adding softball to the district’s sports program at its meeting last Wednesday. Spokesman Jerry Young from the organizing committee told the board that the group had surpassed its original goal of raising $2,750 for uniforms, equipment, tournament and umpire fees.


John and Leo Glick are pictured with the award that Leo’s Country Mart in Platte City received from the Platte County Economic Development Council as Platte City’s Business of the Year for 1994. Leo’s Country Mart has been in operation in Platte City since 1976 and currently has 30 employees, many of whom have worked at the store for nearly 10 or more years. The grocery store is known for its support of local community endeavors, helping United Services and providing scholarships for local schools.

Because her birthday is so close to Christmas, Platte City Mayor Pearl Brown had never actually had a birthday party before Friday, when the community helped her celebrate her 40th. She received many cards, phone calls, balloons and flowers from friends and supporters who wished her well during the right of passage celebration. About 50 people attended a reception at City Hall on Friday afternoon.
