Good morning, Olathe.

On Friday, Walmart opened its first case-ready beef facility on 167th Street in south Olathe — the over 300,000 square-foot plant packages Angus cuts from Sustainable Beef LLC for 600 stores in 14 states — and the company donated $90,000 to local charities including Kansas Special Olympics, the Boys and Girls Club, Friends in Service of Heroes, and Bacon’s Book Club.

The Kansas Supreme Court overturned Devonte Wash’s conviction in the 2018 murder of Ashley Harlan—a pregnant woman shot in her grandfather’s townhome in Olathe—and remanded the case to district court for retrial due to prosecutorial errors.

A volunteer group from Lenexa working with Global Care Force treated over 600 refugees and locals in Jordan two weeks ago while missiles flew overhead—using nine clinics to bring needed care amid rising regional conflict.

The team stayed on schedule with backup plans and local support to keep everyone safe during the crisis.
