HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kelly Danyluk with the Reno County Veterans' Memorial told Hutch Post that another group of names is just about ready to go on the memorial.

"Here in the month of June, we're going to engrave another 150 names," Danyluk said. "Then, we've got a list started for the next panel. We'll need about 315 names to fill the next panel. We probably have about 50 names collected so far."

The new names are alphabetized per panel going forward. The original list was alphabetized throughout. There are about 14,000 names out there right now. They are working to become more self-sufficient.

"We've been running off city water since we put the memorial up several years ago," Danyluk said. "We just recently drilled a well. We're in the process of hooking our sprinkler system to the well. We'll be self-sufficient there. We've got a veteran that's doing the lawn for us out there, doing an amazing job. Some other things we're working on is we've submitted an application to the U.S. Army donations program to get a military vehicle."

They are still looking for donations, particularly to keep putting up fresh flags, as the Kansas wind makes them not last very long.

"It kind of depends, but I would say easily every three months," Danyluk said. "Maybe sometimes quicker than that. Mac from American Legion is doing a wonderful job doing that for us. That's one of our expenses. That and mowing the lawn."

The memorial is at&nbsp;Discovery Loop in South Hutchinson near the intersection of K-96, K-61, and U.S. 50, west of the Love's truck stop. If you'd like to learn more and find out how to donate, you can do so online at&nbsp;<a href="https://renocountyveterans.com/">https://renocountyveterans.com/</a>.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Board of County Commissioners will discuss sending out an RFP to harvest methane from the landfill on Tuesday.

The potential exists for methane naturally produced at the Reno County Landfill to be developed for beneficial use. Other landfills across the country have developed methane in this manner and there have been inquiries by developers regarding the Reno County Landfill. 

A request for proposals will provide a transparent and open process for the county to consider a development proposal.

According to the supporting documents, the County’s purpose for this LFG project is to identify a Proposer who will:

1. Identify an end user who will beneficially use LFG.

2. Assume all operational duties of LFG management.

3. Comply with applicable regulatory (State and Federal) requirements.

4. Provide revenues to the County for the exclusive rights to the LFG.


Further, the county outlined that LFG conversion technologies proposed must have a proven record of operation with a minimum of three successful and current operations of commercial scale facilities in the United States.

The county expects that the proposer and development team must have a proven record of successful implementation and ongoing operation of a minimum of three commercial scale LFG conversion facilities in the United States.

It is important to note that there are private residences adjacent to the landfill and Reno County is sensitive to any impacts that may affect nearby residences and that needs to be taken into consideration in any proposal.

Proposals must be received by 4 p.m. September 1, 2023.

The Board of County Commissioners meets Tuesday at 9 a.m. in the Veterans Room of the Reno County Courthouse.

County commission to look at methane RFP Tuesday

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Congress came home for the Memorial Day weekend, but Kansas Rep. Tracey Mann sees the approaching default deadline as the responsibility of the Biden administration, because the House passed a bill that could have been worked on before now.

"President Biden wasted 97 days, almost 100 days, more than three months, in being unwilling to negotiate," Mann said. "Speaker McCarthy and the president met February 1 in an initial meeting talking about this. The President of the United States was literally unwilling to meet for three months, but now here we are last minute."

The Republican House debt ceiling proposal was voted on April 26 and Mann voted for it.

"To be crystal clear, I voted to increase the debt limit as part of the Limit, Save, Grow bill," Mann said. "A very reasonable piece of legislation, it passed the House a month ago. It's a good piece of legislation. It would extend the debt limit. I wish the White House and Senate Democrats would just sign on to that and we could all move down the road."

It looks like an updated deal may begin the process in the House even before Congress gets back from the holiday and Mann said he expects to be called back soon after the holiday to vote, if there are substantial changes, with as little as 24 hours notice.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — What if what you had in your closet led to a superstar television appearance? 

Jamar and Anna Crable of Hutchinson are experiencing that on A&amp;E for WWE’s Most Wanted Treasures on May 28.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

“We had WWE come out and they filmed the show called WWE's Most Wanted Treasures,” Jamar Crable said.&nbsp; “It's a series that kicked off last year and we were part of season two. We filmed that in the wintertime, and they'll be airing this Sunday on the A&amp;E network.”&nbsp;&nbsp;

According to <a href="https://www.aetv.com/shows/wwes-most-wanted-treasures">the A&amp;E website</a>, the purpose is to show off old WWE memorabilia.

“Basically, they go out and try to locate just ring-use stuff, like attire or certain thing that a wrestler might have used back when they were wrestling legends,” Jamar Crable said.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Crable wants everyone to watch Sunday to find out the item that the show is about.

"We had an item that belonged to Bill Goldberg," Crable said. "We had a specific item of his. We met him last year at WrestleMania. I took this item for him to sign. He was like, are you kidding me? You have these? I don't have these anymore."

Goldberg offered to buy the item off of Crable at the meeting, but he declined.&nbsp; A producer with the A&amp;E show then gave Crable a call and they put a room together of their memorabilia for the taping last winter. Goldberg and Mick Foley came to see the room while the show was being produced.

"It was the most mind-blowing experience to have people that you only see on TV, then all of a sudden are at your front door," said Anna Crable. "It was interesting but really cool to have them in our house and in our own space."

The show will air at 8 p.m. Central Sunday on A&amp;E and be available for streaming the next day.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Eagle Communications named Matt Althouse the next market manager of EAGLE Media in Hutchinson. Althouse will replace Nancy Swain, who is retiring from EAGLE at the end of 2023. 

Althouse has worked with EAGLE in Great Bend since 2009 and has been Great Bend's market manager since August of 2021. EAGLE is searching for his Great Bend replacement at this time. Before taking the top spot in Great Bend, Althouse was operations manager.&nbsp; 

"It is truly an honor to inherit this leadership role with EAGLE Media," Althouse said. "These radio stations and Hutch Post have a rich history and a respected voice in the Hutchinson community that is a reflection on Nancy’s leadership, her talented team, and the decades of talented and passionate broadcasters and journalists who have poured their heart and soul into these stations. I’m humbled by this opportunity and am driven to maintain the same high standard the community has grown to expect from EAGLE." "It does bring heartache to be leaving Great Bend and the friendships and relationships I cherish. However, Hutchinson is more than just a job for me. I have family ties to this community, and a relationship with a wonderful and talented teacher who calls Hutchinson home. I’m excited for myself and my two kids to be able to spend more time together."

Kurt David, EAGLE's president and CEO, said he is pleased that the company has been able to develop talent from within EAGLE to fill such an important leadership role.

"EAGLE Media in Hutchinson has a long history of quality management and strong employee-ownership culture," David said. "Being able to preserve that continuity by bringing Matt on in Hutchinson is a hallmark of how employee-ownership allows us to grow our own talent in all of our markets."

Swain added that she is happy to see a longtime employee-owner step into leadership in Hutchinson.

"My personal work with Matt over the past two years as well as Matt's history with EAGLE gives me confidence in his leadership," Swain said. "I am happy we have found such a great person to continue the legacy of service to our community! I know that our listeners, readers and fellow business leaders will continue to receive the same great experience, even as I transition into a new phase of my life."

Swain spent more than 26 years with EAGLE and has been market manager since Jan. 1, 2021.

In Hutchinson, EAGLE operates radio stations <a href="https://streamdb5web.securenetsystems.net/v5/KHUT">Country 102.9</a>, <a href="https://radio.securenetsystems.net/v5/KWBW">KWBW</a> and <a href="https://streamdb7web.securenetsystems.net/ce/index.cfm?stationCallSign=KHMY2">My 93-1</a>, as well as Hutch Post.

White's putback as time expires lifts Celtics past Heat, forces Game 7 in East finals

MIAMI (AP) — Derrick White scored on a putback as time expired and the Boston Celtics moved to the brink of the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history, holding off the Miami Heat 104-103 to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals. Jayson Tatum scored 31 points, Jaylen Brown scored 26 and Marcus Smart added 21 for the Celtics. Jimmy Butler made three free throws with 3.0 seconds left for a one-point Heat lead.

Dellandrea scores twice in 3rd, Stars stay alive with 4-2 victory over Golden Knights

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Ty Dellandrea scored twice in a 1:27 span midway through the third period and the Dallas Stars beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2 on Saturday night to stay alive in the Western Conference Final. The Stars escaped elimination for the second game in a row and head to Dallas for Game 6 on Monday night down 3-2. Dallas is attempting to become the fifth team in NHL history win a series after being down 3-0. Dellandrea had the first multigoal game of his playoff career, and it helped back a 27-save performance from Jake Oettinger. Jason Robertson and Luke Glendening also scored, and Thomas Harley had two assists. Chandler Stephenson and Ivan Barbashev scored for the Knights, and Jonathan Marchessault had two assists to extend his points streak to four games. Adin Hill made 30 saves.

Ukraine's Kostyuk booed after not shaking hands with Belarus' Sabalenka at French Open

PARIS (AP) — At first, Aryna Sabalenka thought the boos and derisive whistles coming from the French Open crowd were directed at her after a first-round victory. Instead, the negative reaction was aimed at her opponent, Marta Kostyuk, for not participating in the usual post-match handshake up at the net. Kostyuk, who is from Ukraine, avoided so much as any eye contact with Sabalenka, who is from Belarus, after the match, instead walking directly over to acknowledge the chair umpire. It's something Kostyuk has been doing whenever she has faced any opponent from Russia or Belarus since her country was invaded by Russia, with help from Belarus, in February 2022. Sabalenka won 6-3, 6-2.

Bucks finalizing deal to make Raptors' Adrian Griffin their head coach, AP source says

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A person familiar with the situation says the Milwaukee Bucks are finalizing a deal to make Adrian Griffin their head coach. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was still being completed. The decision comes after the Bucks fired Mike Budenholzer in the wake of their stunning first-round playoff loss to the Miami Heat. Griffin has spent the last five seasons as a Toronto Raptors assistant coach on Nick Nurse's staff. The Raptors fired Nurse last month.

New bill to build Athletics stadium on Las Vegas Strip caps Nevada's cost at $380 million

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — The Oakland Athletics are asking Nevada for $380 million for a 30,000-seat, $1.5 billion retractable roof stadium on the Las Vegas Strip. A bill introduced Friday in the Nevada Legislature details the long-awaited financing plan. Lawmakers have a little more than a week to consider the plan before they adjourn June 5. The bulk of Nevada's contribution would come from $180 million in transferable tax credits from the state and $120 million in county bonds, which can vary based on interest rate returns. The plan doesn't directly raise taxes, meaning it needs a simple majority vote in the Senate and Assembly — not two-thirds approval.

Kiner-Falefa's 10th-inning single helps Yankees overcome Tatis HR in 3-2 win over Padres

NEW YORK (AP) — Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a game-ending single with one out in the 10th inning as the New York Yankees beat the San Diego Padres 3-2. After Anthony Volpe and Aaron Judge hit into double plays in the eighth and ninth, the Yankees got their fifth walk-off win when Kiner-Falefa sent Nick Martinez's 2-0 pitch down the line just past the glove of third baseman Rougned Odor to score Greg Allen. DJ LeMahieu homered off Padres starter Michael Wacha to tie it in the seventh as the Yankees avoided a fourth straight loss.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers shortstop Willy Adames was placed on the seven-day concussion list Saturday after getting hit in the head by a foul ball in the dugout the previous night during Milwaukee's 15-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Adam Schenk closed out a 3-under 67 with a 16-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to match PGA Tour rookie Harry Hall for the lead at 10 under after three rounds at the Colonial. Hall had the solo lead after the first and second rounds and had to overcame consecutive double-bogeys on the front nine Saturday. His final putt in his round of 72 was a 10-foot par at No. 18 after a birdie at the 17th. Harris English was a stroke back at 9-under 201 after his bogey on 18. Schenk and Hall are both seeking their first PGA Tour victory.

Heat still lead East finals, but Celtics roaring back with eye on history

MIAMI (AP) — The Boston Celtics are halfway to history, and that alone has gotten them entry into a very small club. Of the first 150 teams that trailed a best-of-seven series 3-0 in NBA history, just 14 of them found a way to extend the matchup to Game 6. Most are usually eliminated by now. Not the Celtics. They have cut the deficit in the Eastern Conference finals against the Miami Heat to 3-2. They trail the series yet seeming to have all the momentum going into Game 6 in Miami on Saturday night.

And now, the Dallas Stars are trying to repeat history trailing 3-1 entering Game 5 of the Western final on Saturday at Vegas.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals have released three-time All-Pro wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins in a salary cap move made after they failed to find a trading partner in the offseason. The Cardinals made the move three seasons after acquiring Hopkins in a trade with Houston and signing him to a $54.5 million contract extension. The soon-to-be 31-year-old Hopkins would have counted close to $31 million against the cap this season. His cap hit in dead money is $22.6 million. Hopkins had 221 catches for 2,696 yards and 17 touchdowns in 35 games with Arizona.

Analysis: NFL can't shake perception it doesn't care what players and coaches think

Even when the NFL institutes a rule designed to reduce concussions, it can't shake the perception that it doesn't care what players and coaches think. The league took a step toward eliminating kickoffs this week by enhancing the touchback rule for a one-year trial with a priority on player safety. The receiving team will now get the ball at its own 25 with a fair catch of a kickoff anywhere behind that yard line. Some of the league's most prominent coaches criticized the decision.

Indiana man center of gambling probes involving Alabama, Cincinnati baseball, AP sources say

An Indiana man whose son is a member of the University of Cincinnati baseball team is the bettor at the center of separate college sports gambling investigations, according to two people familiar with the inquiries. One investigation led to the firing of Alabama coach Brad Bohannon earlier this month. The other resulted in two members of Cincinnati's baseball staff being dismissed this week. The people who identified Bert Neff of Mooresville, Indiana, as being connected to both the Alabama and Cincinnati cases spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither was authorized to speak about ongoing investigations.

'Block' party over at Colonial for PGA Championship sensation club pro

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — There will be no weekend party at the Colonial for Michael Block. The club pro from California who finished tied for 15th at the PGA Championship was 15 over par over a grueling 36 holes at Colonial. He was exhausted but thankful after the wild ride of the past week. His 4-over 74 on Friday was seven strokes better than his opening round in the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he got a late sponsor's exemption after Oak Hill. He also has an exemption to play in the RBC Canadian Open in two weeks. So the Block party's not completely over yet.

Brewers' Adames taken to hospital, heading to IL after getting hit by foul ball in dugout

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Brewers shortstop Willy Adames was taken to the hospital after getting hit by a foul ball off the bat of teammate Brian Anderson while in the dugout during Milwaukee's game against the San Francisco Giants. Anderson was batting in the bottom of the second inning when he hit a line drive that struck Adames. Video appeared to show that Adames was hit in the head or face. Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell said after the Brewers' 15-1 loss that tests revealed no fractures. Adames was to remain in the hospital overnight and will be heading to the injured list.

Yankees' Aaron Boone suspended 1 game by MLB for conduct toward umpires

NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees manager Aaron Boone was suspended for one game and fined by Major League Baseball "for his recent conduct toward major league umpires." MLB senior vice president for on-field operations Michael Hill made the announcement and said Boone's actions following his ejection from Thursday night's game against Baltimore were among the factors in the discipline. Boone was ejected for the major league-high fourth time this season, the most among big league managers, when he was angry with the strike zone. He appeared to get spit on an umpire while yelling after he was tossed.

Biden celebrates LSU women's and UConn men's basketball teams at separate White House events

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has appealed for more support for female athletes during a White House event celebrating Louisiana State's championship women's basketball team. The event once appeared in jeopardy after Biden's wife, Jill, suggested that the losing Iowa team be invited, too. Friday's ceremony was briefly halted when forward Sa'Myah Smith appeared to collapse on stage. The Bidens lavished praise on the LSU Tigers for their performance and the way they've helped advance women's sports. Neither one mentioned the uproar Jill Biden's earlier comments caused. Biden also welcomed the UConn men's championship basketball team to a White House celebration later Friday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —&nbsp;Lane Thomas opened the game with a home run, Corey Dickerson's three-run shot highlighted an eight-run sixth inning and Luis Garcia had six hits as the Washington Nationals outslugged the Kansas City Royals 12-10 on Friday night.

The eight-run inning was the largest scoring inning in Nationals' history and came against Kansas City's Jordan Lyles and Josh Staumont. Lyles (0-9) allowed five earned runs in five innings, giving up six hits and three walks with two strikeouts.

“There was a lot of back-and-forth, up-and-down or whatever terminology you want to use,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “Being down 9-2 certainly didn’t feel good, but the guys came back and we felt like we have a shot.”

The 34-year-old Dickerson, in his 11th big league season, has eight hits and has two homers and seven RBI since being called up on May 17.

Washington (22-29) led 9-2 when its half of the sixth was over, helped by RBI from Garcia (two RBI) and Joey Meneses off of Staumont, who gave up four earned runs in one-third of an inning.

“It feels great, especially when the team is battling every at-bat and we never got down and stayed focused so it’s a great feeling,” Garcia said. “My whole approach every at-bat is to stay up the middle and go the other way as well.”

The Royals (15-37) scored the next six runs, highlighted by a Bobby Witt Jr.'s three-run homer off Erasmo Ramirez in the seventh, cutting the lead to 9-8. Witt also homered in the sixth inning for his second career multi-homer game and a career-high with five RBI.

“He's got all the tools, couple infield hits, the double down the line and two homers,” Quatraro said. “Big night for him all around, very happy for him.”

Jeimer Candelario added a two-RBI triple and later scored in the eighth to extend the Nationals lead to 12-8.

Patrick Corbin (4-5) worked 6 1/3 inning, allowing six runs, seven hits, four walks with six strikeouts.

“I would've like to have finished the seventh there, but that's the one thing looking back,” Corbin said. “I felt good and in games like this you always try to give your bullpen a break, but the guys that came in kept the lead and the offense tonight was amazing. To come away with a win like that is truly a team win.”

Garcia hit two doubles in the sixth inning, marking the first time a Nationals' batter has had two hits in an inning. That was part of his career-high six hit performance. He is just the third Washington player to have that many hits in a game.

The Royals called up OF Drew Waters and optioned INF/OF Nate Eaton to Triple-A Omaha.

Washington sends RHP Josiah Gray (4-5) to the mound against Royals RHP Brady Singer (3-4) on Saturday afternoon.

SPRINGFIELD, MO – A classic pitcher's duel on Friday night in which the visiting Wichita Wind Surge come up on the short end of a 1-0 defeat.

Cardinals starter Wilfredo Peirera dazzled as he punched out a season high ten hitters enroute to his third win of the season. He pitched five and one third innings allowed just four hits and a pair of walks.

Wichita starter Aaron Rozek rolled through the game pitching a season high seven innings and allowed one run on three hits, walked one hitter and five strikeouts. Rozek finished strong striking out the final three hitters he faced throwing just 84 pitches in the longest outing by a Wind Surge starter this season.

The lone run of the game happened in the third. Arquimedes Gamboa opened the inning on walk, Justin Toerner singled and the runners advanced on foul ball catch. Jose Alvarez groundout allowed Gamboa to score giving the Cards a 1-0 lead.

The Wind Surge threatened and out-hit Springfield for the game 5-3. Wichita stranded eight runners in the game and were two for seven with runners in scoring position. The Surge left the bases loaded in the fifth inning and a runner at third in the sixth. In the ninth inning the Cardinals centerfielder Mike Antico threw out Will Holland at home plate trying to score from second base. Logan Sawyer earned his fourth save.

The Surge dropped to 19-23 and Springfield improves to 20-23.

NOTES: The Wind Surge were shutout for the fourth time this season. Wichita has played five 1-0 games in its history and are now 2-3 in those contests.

ARLINGTON, Texas –&nbsp;Despite a home run from Jake English for the second straight game, Kansas fell to Kansas State 7-1 on Friday afternoon in Big 12 Championship play at Globe Life Field.

With the loss, the Jayhawks finish postseason play with a 1-2 mark and have been eliminated from the conference tournament. The Jayhawks finished the season with an overall mark of 25-32. Kansas State moved to 35-23 on the season and will now face TCU on Saturday.

“I’m super proud of our guys,” Head Coach Dan Fitzgerald said. “We have fought for a long time and we certainly wanted a different result, but I loved the fight, and have all year. It’s a special group of guys that helped build an awesome foundation that we can build on.”

After a scoreless first from starter Sam Ireland, Kansas State tagged the righty for three runs in the second inning to grab a 3-0 lead. The Wildcats got their first two men on in the second and then Kaelen Culpepper hit a three-run home run to put the home team up 3-0.

The Jayhawks didn’t stay off the scoreboard for long, though. English led off the inning with a solo home run to left, marking his second home run in as many games at the Big 12 Championship. Kansas got another man on in the inning, but a double play ended the threat.

English’s home run marked the 75th home run of the season for the Jayhawks, which tied a program record established in 2006.

The Wildcats stretched their lead in the fourth with a two-run inning. The Wildcats scored on a sacrifice fly and an error to grow the lead to 5-1. Right-hander Kolby Dougan pitched the fourth through the sixth innings for the Jayhawks and after giving up two unearned runs in the fourth, he threw up zeroes in the fifth and sixth. The righty finished going three innings, allowing three hits, two unearned runs, while striking out four and walking two.

He gave way to left-hander Gavin Brasosky, who took over in the seventh with the Jayhawks down four. Kansas State scored two in his only inning of work in the seventh to take a 7-1 lead. Kansas put two men on in the eighth when English singled and Chase Jans walked to put two on with one out. But a strikeout and ground out ended the threat. K-State starter German Fajardo exited in the eighth, but went 7.1 innings, allowing just one run on five hits, while striking out nine.

With the loss, Kansas has completed its first season under coach Dan Fitzgerald.

PITCHERS OF RECORD Win: German Fajardo (4-4) Final line: 7.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 9 SO Loss: Sam Ireland (4-7) Final line: 3.0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 4 SO

NOTES • Kansas hit 75 home runs this season, which tied the program record set in 2006. • Kansas had four players with at least 10 home runs this season (Cole Elvis, Janson Reeder, Chase Jans, Jake English). The last time Kansas had four players with double-digit home runs in a single season was 2003 (Casey Spanish, Travis Metcalf, Ryan Baty, Kevin Wheeler). • English hit his 10th home run of the season.
