McPherson County celebration of education with events Friday

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona today announced the 2024 U.S. Presidential Scholars, recognizing 161 high school seniors for their accomplishments in academics, the arts, and career and technical education fields.

The Kansas scholars include (hometown, scholar, school, location):

“The 161 high school seniors selected for the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Presidential Scholars represent the best of our nation’s schools and inspire hope in the bright future of this country,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. “On behalf of President Biden, I am delighted to celebrate their accomplishments, and encourage these scholars to continue to aim high, lift up others, and embrace opportunities to lead.”

The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars selects scholars annually based on academic success, excellence in the arts and in technical education, through essays, school evaluations and transcripts, as well as a demonstrated commitment to community service and leadership.

Of the 3.7 million students expected to graduate from high school this year, more than 5,700 candidates qualified for the 2024 awards determined by outstanding performance on the College Board SAT or ACT exams or through nominations made by chief state school officers, other partner recognition organizations and YoungArts, the National Foundation for the Advancement of Artists.

As directed by Presidential Executive Order, the 2024 U.S. Presidential Scholars are comprised of two students from each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, and U.S. families living abroad, as well as 15 chosen at-large, 20 scholars in the arts and 20 scholars in career and technical education. 

Created in 1964, the U.S. Presidential Scholars Program has honored over 8,200 of the nation's top-performing students. The program was expanded in 1979 to recognize students who demonstrate exceptional talent in the visual, literary and performing arts. In 2015, the program was again extended to recognize students who demonstrate ability and accomplishment in career and technical education fields. 2024 is the program’s 60th anniversary.

The Presidential Scholars Class of 2024 will be recognized for their outstanding achievement this summer with an online recognition program.

Arrest made in attempted murder in downtown Hutchinson Thursday

RENO COUNTY — The Reno County Sheriff's Office said Thursday that they received information from the KBI that there is a scam going around right now targeting registered offenders. The number is 785-236-7411. The caller identifies himself as Officer Strickland with the KBI. He tells offenders that they missed an appointment and now have a warrant for arrest. 

He told the offenders that they should have received a certified packet in the mail with paperwork to fill out and they were supposed to bring it with them to their appointment and since they missed they have a warrant. He told them that they could turn themselves in at the Sheriff's Office and to bring $1200 to bond out with. 

The KBI also has heard of an email being sent to an offender with a  QR code and told the offender that it would be faster if they just went to a kiosk and paid the $1200 and when they got to the kiosk, they would send him a QR code.&nbsp;&nbsp;

If you have questions about your legal status, do not respond to these callers, instead initiate a call to your local agency to make sure of your status. If you're the one that dials them, then you know that you are getting in contact with the right place. You can call the Sheriff's Office at (620) 694-2735.

County announces bridge back open near Turon

Hutch Post, in partnership with Steve Harmon and the Conard-Harmon Collection, is proud to present Throwback Thursday. Enjoy a weekly release from Steve Harmon as he presents the "Hutch - Then &amp; Now Collection."

STEVE HARMON Hutch Post Contributor

Today's "Throwback Thursday Collection" is a biographical feature on one of Hutch's most famous sons.

Delos V. Smith Jr. was born in Hutchinson in 1906. His father was the owner of the Hutchinson Saddlery Company at 101 W. 1st. The first photo shows him at age 12 on his bike at home at 112 W. 6th.

In 1928, he graduated from the University of Kansas. The second photo is of young Delos.

He traveled the world for many years, eventually settling into his theatrical career. He would eventually appear in 13 movies, 16 television shows and nearly two dozen Broadway productions. The third photo shows him in various Hollywood poses.

He met Marilyn Monroe and became her assistant and mentor. The fourth photo shows him in one of his stage personalities.

One of his last films was the critically acclaimed "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in 1975. The fifth photo show Delos on the left with Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito.

In 1981, at the age of 75, Delos officially retired from acting and returned to Hutchinson. After that, he taught some drama at HutchCC and acquired real estate. The sixth photo is one of Delos's last known.

When Delos died in 1997, he left his multi-million dollar estate to a trust to fund senior citizen programs and to fund the Delos V. Smith Senior Center at 1st and Washington. That legacy continues today.

📷 Throwback Thursday: Delos V. Smith - Vol. 69

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Board of County Commissioners at their meeting on Wednesday, gave direction via a 3-2 vote to ban large scale commercial solar projects within the zoned portion of the county. 

Commissioners Hirst, Parks and Bogner voted in favor of the ban, Commissioners Whitesel and Friesen voted against the ban, but it seemed that their no votes may have been more about the process than major support for solar itself.

The ban still needs to go back through the planning commission to get the ban put into the regulations themselves.

For the un-zoned area, meetings are being planned to receive input from residents on what they want or don't want there.

In the zoned area, the commission has adopted regulations on small scale commercial projects, and the planning commission is close to making its recommendation on private solar regulations.

With this direction, the county can eventually close out the solar regulations in the zoned portion of Reno County and once that is complete turn the focus to the rest of the county.

Central Christian School to hold Year in Review meeting Saturday

The appearance of stripe rust adds insult to injury to this year’s wheat crop, but Kansas growers should scout fields and have their management strategy ready for this yield- and quality-limiting disease. Stripe rust has now been detected in 35 Kansas counties, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://sfdzp7cab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NBdc_P1lcz2g3CVo8kQx7q_MaAGxzICESTG8W9pkW76bYeqZ0xbspSLMifPZt-DLdKCqW_VEo1fP3kx2L8AW6VhTOaV56Do6qgY3l_jwt9V_9fuAnj72vwQZ6zDfuqWyQa26Rh1nZUq9_gxRyCWVoWijvaxtVPZQaaxhLUsXvRxIiqYJitIdkw==&amp;c=cQsnOsCCZGwtgKWFBqIzlpH52SAPGvqwlHUpfW_xe89hFQ9N7nV5fQ==&amp;ch=M459CWoOrs-B0JrbRraJAFk38wqyaFkzY9oEWm6T1KplPU14AZb5vw==" target="_blank">Wheat Ag Pest Monitor</a>.

While most of these observations have been at low or trace levels, the&nbsp;<a href="https://sfdzp7cab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NBdc_P1lcz2g3CVo8kQx7q_MaAGxzICESTG8W9pkW76bYeqZ0xbspSLMifPZt-DLg73_U3BMeCZbRSyrlUaTzvzn5OsU0OokmdwtHOmp2kiiX5zXgzyqYR4us4Kiz72dsicqgNkvJ5sumAvuWkk9FhAie00wTrphviRarj3F4ENmzZhWvBzQpLw3iapJQEDldroqWsUAB_79u_ZApDbUQ7kih-11KLybw0IJP7QdbMHGHP93Psqmqw==&amp;c=cQsnOsCCZGwtgKWFBqIzlpH52SAPGvqwlHUpfW_xe89hFQ9N7nV5fQ==&amp;ch=M459CWoOrs-B0JrbRraJAFk38wqyaFkzY9oEWm6T1KplPU14AZb5vw==" target="_blank">K-State Agronomy eUpdate issued on May 2, 2024</a>, noted, “Up until this point, the disease has largely&nbsp;been limited&nbsp;by lack of moisture.” Scattered showers across the state over the weekend and into the start of the week have reduced that limiting factor.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Since the eUpdate&nbsp;was published&nbsp;on May 2, the risk of severe disease has elevated in north-central and northwest Kansas,” said Kelsey Andersen Onofre, K-State assistant professor of plant pathology.&nbsp;“We are&nbsp;keeping a close eye on&nbsp;this part of the state.”&nbsp;

Stripe rust develops in cool, humid weather with rapid disease development between 50 and 60 degrees. The disease slows when nighttime temperatures are above 68 degrees&nbsp;or&nbsp;daytime temperatures&nbsp;have highs above&nbsp;80 degrees for several days.&nbsp;

Stripe rust shows as yellow or orange blister-like lesions arranged in stripes on the plant’s leaves. Timing is&nbsp;important&nbsp;as stripe rust has the highest impact on yield and quality when the crop is still in the flowering or early kernel-filling stages of development. Stripe rust on the upper leaves or flag leaf are of particular concern.&nbsp;

In south and south-central Kansas, the wheat crop has progressed past the optimal window for a fungicide application. According to K-State, the risk of yield loss from stripe rust decreases when the disease is spotted in fields already in the dough stages of grain development.&nbsp;In northwest and north-central Kansas,&nbsp;however, the crop is further behind and more vulnerable.&nbsp;

In addition to limiting yield, Onofre noted that K-State research has seen a three to nine percent decrease in test weight in susceptible varieties under high stripe rust disease pressure, varying between wheat varieties and environments. This impact is&nbsp;important&nbsp;for end-use quality as test weight provides an initial&nbsp;indicator of quality&nbsp;and works as a rough estimate of potential flour yield.&nbsp;

While detrimental to yield and quality, producers can effectively treat stripe rust with foliar fungicides,&nbsp;particularly&nbsp;if applied at earlier growth stages. According to the eUpdate, “K-State research demonstrates that if stripe rust&nbsp;is detected&nbsp;on flag leaves at the heading growth stage, there is a 90% chance your fungicide application will pay off.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is a year when scouting will be critical.”&nbsp;

Producers should also pay close attention to labels and information on the pre-harvest intervals for their preferred fungicides. K-State also has&nbsp;<a href="https://sfdzp7cab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NBdc_P1lcz2g3CVo8kQx7q_MaAGxzICESTG8W9pkW76bYeqZ0xbspSLMifPZt-DLw5Lw_dRsezzXYTV0E8zRuCdTYdTEhMqz6dBR5_0j1Z-w53ujoExXVl15etIrVyE0xSNs3fX6cCIceht-gLzMs6vxO_rxWsNYNihrqoXmCzPleoU56-r49Q==&amp;c=cQsnOsCCZGwtgKWFBqIzlpH52SAPGvqwlHUpfW_xe89hFQ9N7nV5fQ==&amp;ch=M459CWoOrs-B0JrbRraJAFk38wqyaFkzY9oEWm6T1KplPU14AZb5vw==" target="_blank">resources</a>&nbsp;available on the most common fungicides.

The K-State agronomy eUpdate provides five questions to help producers decide whether or not to apply fungicide at this time to treat stripe rust:&nbsp;

1.&nbsp;What variety is planted?&nbsp;The wheat industry specifically includes stripe rust resistance in public and private breeding programs, providing built-in genetic resistance in certain varieties. These specific varieties likely would not benefit from a fungicide application. Check&nbsp;<a href="https://sfdzp7cab.cc.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001NBdc_P1lcz2g3CVo8kQx7q_MaAGxzICESTG8W9pkW76bYeqZ0xbspaRnkDhKzmw2Op5fTOuzdeQt2wI3pAzcA8Fy0ntf61ATWiK6N4QIwvU2WACQEwTbBy8s8FE1swbuMBogUGvNVqMnn-vjjHv_icwDzrWljE_omxeuHcspwPzuS1UNJ6RlKA==&amp;c=cQsnOsCCZGwtgKWFBqIzlpH52SAPGvqwlHUpfW_xe89hFQ9N7nV5fQ==&amp;ch=M459CWoOrs-B0JrbRraJAFk38wqyaFkzY9oEWm6T1KplPU14AZb5vw==" target="_blank">Kansas Wheat Variety Guide 2023</a>&nbsp;for how your varieties&nbsp;are rated&nbsp;for stripe rust resistance.&nbsp;

2.&nbsp;Has stripe rust been detected in the field?&nbsp;Common sense and science agree that if stripe rust&nbsp;is already established&nbsp;in the field, increased disease levels will follow if the weather is right. Pay close attention if stripe rust is present on flag leaves when the crop is heading.&nbsp;

3.&nbsp;Does the field’s yield potential justify a fungicide application?&nbsp;A fungicide can provide a 10 to 15 percent yield boost under moderate to high stripe rust pressure.&nbsp;But, if the disease is&nbsp;not present&nbsp;or the crop is in poor&nbsp;to&nbsp;very poor&nbsp;condition, a fungicide application may not pay off.&nbsp;

4.&nbsp;How much moisture has the field received recently?&nbsp;The eUpdate noted stripe rust shows up in fields about&nbsp;10&nbsp;days from&nbsp;when the infection first occurs, so producers should continue scouting fields, especially if they have received rainfall.&nbsp;

5.&nbsp;What is the fusarium head scab risk?&nbsp;If a field has a history of head scab and the current year’s crop is approaching flowering, producers may be able to control both stripe rust and head scab with a single application this year.&nbsp;

 </figure>JULIA DEBES Kansas WheatThe appearance of stripe rust adds insult to injury to this year’s wheat crop, but Kansas growers should scout fields and have their management strategy ready for this yield- and quality-limiting disease.

The disease slows when nighttime temperatures are above 68 degrees&nbsp;or&nbsp;daytime temperatures&nbsp;have highs above&nbsp;80 degrees for several days.&nbsp;Stripe rust shows as yellow or orange blister-like lesions arranged in stripes on the plant’s leaves. Timing is&nbsp;important&nbsp;as stripe rust has the highest impact on yield and quality when the crop is still in the flowering or early kernel-filling stages of development. Stripe rust on the upper leaves or flag leaf are of particular concern.&nbsp;In south and south-central Kansas, the wheat crop has progressed past the optimal window for a fungicide application. According to K-State, the risk of yield loss from stripe rust decreases when the disease is spotted in fields already in the dough stages of grain development.&nbsp;In northwest and north-central Kansas,&nbsp;however, the crop is further behind and more vulnerable.&nbsp;In addition to limiting yield, Onofre noted that K-State research has seen a three to nine percent decrease in test weight in susceptible varieties under high stripe rust disease pressure, varying between wheat varieties and environments. This impact is&nbsp;important&nbsp;for end-use quality as test weight provides an initial&nbsp;indicator of quality&nbsp;and works as a rough estimate of potential flour yield.&nbsp;While detrimental to yield and quality, producers can effectively treat stripe rust with foliar fungicides,&nbsp;particularly&nbsp;if applied at earlier growth stages. According to the eUpdate, “K-State research demonstrates that if stripe rust&nbsp;is detected&nbsp;on flag leaves at the heading growth stage, there is a 90% chance your fungicide application will pay off.&nbsp;This&nbsp;is a year when scouting will be critical.”&nbsp;Producers should also pay close attention to labels and information on the pre-harvest intervals for their preferred fungicides.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kansas First District Congressman Tracey Mann talked to Hutch Post Wednesday afternoon after he spoke Wednesday morning about the Farm Bill on the House Floor again and he really does see movement now.

"It's been very frustrating," Mann said. "I went to the floor for the 27th time, calling on Congress to pass a five-year Farm Bill. It's been delayed. It's been very frustrating, but, what's going to happen is, on the House side, the text has been drafted, it's going to be released here in the next few days. Later this month, we'll have a markup at committee, which means that committee will go through it, we'll consider it, we'll vote on it, vote on the amendments that come up and then pass it on to the House floor. It looks like we're finally starting to make some progress on the Farm Bill."

If current schedules hold, that markup is scheduled for May 23.

"It's important that we get a fiscally responsible Farm Bill," Mann said. "Within that, top priorities for me are crop insurance, trade and research, as well as oversight. Specifically, on crop insurance, and we've talked about this over the last few months, crop insurance is such an important risk management tool for our ag producers and a very successful public private partnership. There will be efforts to weaken, diminish, chip away at crop insurance. I think we need to be strengthening it, fortifying it and making it better. That will be a big priority, also, on trade, when you talk about a fiscally responsible Farm Bill, if you look at the dollars, as a nation, that we spend, in promoting trade and opening up other markets overseas, it's an incredibly high return on that investment. That warrants further investment to make sure that we have robust international markets for ag products, those are going to be big focuses for me at the markup here in a couple weeks."

The extension of the current Farm Bill expires Sept. 30.

Below is a podcast of Mann's interview with Nick Gosnell.

Mann: Farm Bill markup 'in a couple weeks'

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — There have been a series of accidents in recent weeks at the intersection of 43rd and Halstead, so city staff had consulting engineers from JEO take a look at what could be done until the city council decides whether or not to go through with a full-blown traffic study.

"What they are recommending is we do install Stop Ahead signs on 43rd Street as they are approaching the Halstead intersection," said Interim Assistant City Manager Gary Meagher. "We also need to look at putting reflective tape on the stop signs to just catch the person's eyes a little bit more. There's some placards we can put on the stop signs that will let people know that the cross traffic does not stop. Also, continuing to monitor the intersection, working with property owners to make sure that they are keeping the intersections clear for sight distance."

There was a consensus of the council members present to go ahead with those steps right now.

Upgrade to Cosmosphere's Sunflower Summer in 2024

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — On January 8, 2024, House Bill 2481 was introduced that would designate K-96 at Haven the PFC Henry Lee Fisher Memorial Highway after a local soldier who was KIA in Vietnam.

The bill quickly passed both the Kansas House and Senate with unanimous support and on April 18, 2024 was signed into law by Governor Laura Kelly.

The family is now responsible for the over $12,000 cost of the two memorial signs.

A fundraiser is scheduled for Thursday, May 9 at Baker Ballroom at 17 East 2nd in Hutchinson from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. 100% of the proceeds go to pay for these memorial highway signs.

Jake Feil told Hutch Post the story of his uncle.

"My Uncle Henry grew up in Haven," Feil said. He was the third oldest of four. My mom's the youngest. They lived their entire lives in Haven. My grandparents lived their entire lives in Haven. My grandpa was a World War II vet, so it was only fitting that his two oldest boys kind of followed in his footsteps.

"They grew up in Haven. My uncle graduated Haven High School in 1965. Shortly after high school, he joined the Army, or attempted to. He was actually denied his first attempt at joining the Army because during his routine physical, they found a hernia. At that point, he could have probably walked away, avoided Vietnam altogether, but he had a strong desire to serve his country. So he came home, he had the surgery to repair the hernia, and he went right back.

 </figure>NICK GOSNELL Hutch PostHUTCHINSON, Kan. — On January 8, 2024, House Bill 2481 was introduced that would designate K-96 at Haven the PFC Henry Lee Fisher Memorial Highway after a local soldier who was KIA in Vietnam.The bill quickly passed both the Kansas House and Senate with unanimous support and on April 18, 2024 was signed into law by Governor Laura Kelly.The family is now responsible for the over $12,000 cost of the two memorial signs.A fundraiser is scheduled for Thursday, May 9 at Baker Ballroom at 17 East 2nd in Hutchinson from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. 100% of the proceeds go to pay for these memorial highway signs.Jake Feil told Hutch Post the story of his uncle."My Uncle Henry grew up in Haven," Feil said. He was the third oldest of four. My mom's the youngest. They lived their entire lives in Haven. My grandparents lived their entire lives in Haven. My grandpa was a World War II vet, so it was only fitting that his two oldest boys kind of followed in his footsteps."They grew up in Haven. My uncle graduated Haven High School in 1965. Shortly after high school, he joined the Army, or attempted to. He was actually denied his first attempt at joining the Army because during his routine physical, they found a hernia.

So he came home, he had the surgery to repair the hernia, and he went right back."He did his boot camp in Missouri. He was assigned to the 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division, and he was sent to the front lines of Vietnam. He was killed in action in 1967."The family has already raised about $7900, so hopefully this event can get them the rest of the way.The event will feature live music from local singer/songwriter Morgan Wilk, a catered taco bar, a cash bar, and a huge silent auction.
