Hutchinson, Kan.—The United Way of Reno County, in partnership with the Reno County Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD), has fully launched fundraising efforts to help the Plevna and Reno County residents recover from the recent tornado—and they are asking for the community’s help to raise $250,000. 

“Due to the size and scope of this tornado, disaster funding will unfortunately not be available from state or federal sources,” said Adam Weishaar, Director of Emergency Management for Reno County.  “That means we will need to support these families and individuals through local efforts,” he added.   

Per VOAD protocols, donations made to United Way Reno County’s Plevna Disaster Fund will help to first ensure affected residents have their basic needs met (like access to food, clean water and electricity).  Following those efforts, donations will then be used to make sure that each primary residence is safe and livable.  

“We know there are a lot of avenues to support our friends who were devastated last weekend,” said Lacey Mills, UWRC CEO.  “We want to be sure that our community understands when United Way is raising funds in a disaster moment, 100% of every donation is used on recovery efforts.  United Way does not retain any portion of those funds,” she stated. 

“United Way and VOAD are committed to walking alongside these community members long-term,” Mills said.  “We know that full recovery after total devastation takes significant time.  We are here for the long haul.” 

In addition to giving directly to UWRC’s Disaster Fund, another opportunity for the community to support recovery efforts is to attend the upcoming “Party for Plevna” at Sandhills Brewing on Friday, May 30th.  

Local band, “Bluez Warning” will play from 7 pm- 9 pm, and “Whatever’s Cookin’”, a local food truck will be on-site ready for service beginning at 5 pm.  Donations raised during the event, along with a portion of sales, will be donated to the UWRC Disaster Fund. 

To make a gift, the public is encouraged to visit: https://www.unitedwayofrenocounty.org/disaster.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — SaltCity Racing is gearing up for it's third race of the 2025 season with the Murphy Tractor and Equipment IMCA Season Opener at the Kansas State Fairgrounds this evening.&nbsp;

"The IMCA is the largest sanctioned bodied through the country," Phil Nightingale with SaltCity Racing said. "They have over 10,000 racers registered to race throughout the country, that's one reason why I went with that sanctioning body at the Kansas State Fairgrounds for that sole reason."

The four different IMCA classes that will be racing include IMCA Stock Car, IMCA Modified, IMCA Hobby Stock and IMCA Northern SportMod.

"The one that will probably put on the best show is what we call the A mods, they're the fastest cars we have," Nightingale said. "That's a modified car with open front wheels and about a 400 horse motor. Then we have the B mods, which is kind of just like the A mods, but it's just a little less horsepower and a little less money to make that car go. Then we have the stock car class, which looks just like a stock car and those guys put on a great show. Then we have what we call the hobby stock class, which is almost like a stock car, just take the glass out of it, put role bars in it and you've got some different rules to follow. Those hobby stock guys put on a great show, we had them one time last year and so excited to have them back for 2025."

This evening also serves as Kids Night at SaltCity Racing.

"Every kid under 12 gets in free," Nightingale said. "The first 100 kids is going to get a ton of prizes, so you want to be first in line for the first 100. We've had some great sponsors that have stepped up and paid for those kids to get in free. There will be all kinds of prizes and giveaways, we're also going to have tons of neat vehicles for kids to play on and touch. We're going to have police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, the SWAT team is going to be there, the National Guard is going to be there."&nbsp;

There are still tickets available for the races, which you can purchase online by <a href="https://www.myracepass.com/tracks/1778/tickets/1459662">clicking here</a>. You can also go to the west side of the grandstand and buy tickets in-person, or you can scan one of the QR codes that will be posted on different places outside of the grandstand.

 Adult general admission is $18 and Pit Pass are available for $35.

Adopt a Furry Friend: Thor

UPDATE - THE EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO WEATHER FORECAST. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RESCHEDULED DATE NAMED YET.

NOTE: This event was rescheduled to May 24 due to inclement weather on the original date of April 26.&nbsp;

Riders from across Kansas will hit the road this Saturday for the fourth annual “Cruise for the Cure” poker run, a motorcycle (and road-legal vehicle) event organized to raise funds for the Cancer Council of Reno County. Hosted by Bretz Injury Law in partnership with Salty Cycles, the charity ride has grown into a community-fueled tradition drawing more than 100 participants in past years.

The event begins Saturday morning, May 24, at Salty Cycles, located at 129 E. Sherman in Hutchinson. Registration opens at 9:30 a.m., with engines revving for the start at 10:30 a.m. Riders will embark on an 87-mile route that stretches into neighboring Harvey County, stopping at four checkpoints: Buhler Gas Company in Buhler, Lighthouse Coffee in Inman, Dan’s Cycle in Hesston, and the The Barn in Burrton, before returning to Bretz Injury Law for lunch, raffles and awards.

Entry fees are $25 for one poker hand or $50 for three. The poker element of the ride includes drawing cards at each stop, with a final skill game determining the last card. Prizes will be awarded for the best hand, second-best hand, and even the worst hand—a playful tradition that adds fun to the serious cause.

“This event was created to support a cause nearly everyone can relate to,” said Casey Ensz, an organizer with Bretz Injury Law. “Cancer affects almost every family, and the Cancer Council of Reno County does a tremendous job helping those who fall through the cracks of insurance and other support systems.”

Half of the entry fees go directly to the Cancer Council, which provides assistance with transportation, food and other expenses for local patients. Additional fundraising will include raffles with prizes donated by area businesses. Raffle tickets are $5 each or five for $20. A free lunch catered by Cancun Mexican Grill will be served to participants upon return.

And the event isn’t just for bikers. “If you’ve got a road-legal vehicle—even a Toyota Camry—you’re welcome to join us,” Ensz said. “It’s about raising money and awareness. The more, the merrier.”

The event marks the first poker run of the season for Bretz Injury Law, which organizes four charity rides annually, benefiting various causes including Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

For more information or to register, participants can email Casey Ensz at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:casey@bretzinjurylaw.com">casey@bretzinjurylaw.com</a>&nbsp;or call the office at (620) 662-3435. Walk-ups the morning of the event are welcome.

🎧 BW Morning Show Interview:  Piper Harding, Stage 9 

&nbsp;WASHINGTON, DC – The national average for a gallon of regular remained the same as the previous week at $3.19, welcome news for the&nbsp;<a href="https://newsroom.aaa.com/2025/05/memorial-day-forecast/" target="_blank">record number of drivers</a>&nbsp;heading out of town for the long holiday weekend.

The chart below shows just how little the national average has fluctuated so far in 2025 compared to previous years. Gas prices haven’t been this low over Memorial Day since 2021 when the national average was $3.04. 

Supply and demand are playing a role in this year’s lower pump prices as crude oil supply is currently surpassing demand.&nbsp; &nbsp;

• Today’s National Average: $3.19 • One Week Ago: $3.19 • One Month Ago: $3.17&nbsp;&nbsp; • One Year Ago: $3.61

Here in Kansas the state average fell almost two-cents to $2.829 and is down five-cents from a month ago.&nbsp;

Daily Bookings 

As summer approaches, Buhler USD 313 and Hutchinson USD 308 and other schools are stepping up to ensure no child goes hungry during the break. Districts are offering free meals for all children ages 18 and under, with no applications or proof of income required—just a commitment to feeding the community.&nbsp;

Hutchinson USD 308: Grab and Go Convenience

From&nbsp;June 2 through July 25, Hutchinson USD 308 will operate its&nbsp;Summer Meal Program, offering nutritious meals through convenient&nbsp;Grab &amp; Go&nbsp;sites. Please note:&nbsp;No meals will be served on July 4.&nbsp;

Meals are available&nbsp;Monday through Friday&nbsp;at the following locations and times: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;•&nbsp; Hutchinson Middle School-7:&nbsp; 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;•&nbsp; Fairgrounds Splash Park:&nbsp; 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;•&nbsp; Hutchinson Public Library:&nbsp; 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

To receive meals from any site, families must first visit&nbsp;HMS 7 with their children&nbsp;to receive a&nbsp;Summer Meal Pass. After that, the pass allows families to pick up meals without the children present. This is the same process used last summer. &nbsp;As an added bonus,&nbsp;HMS 7 will also provide breakfast for the next day along with lunch.&nbsp;

Questions? Contact the district’s nutrition team at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:nutrition@usd308.com" target="_blank">nutrition@usd308.com</a> or visit www.usd308.com/summermeals&nbsp;

Buhler USD 313&nbsp;begins its free summer meal program a week earlier, starting&nbsp;May 27 and running through July 31. Meals are available via a&nbsp;drive-through service&nbsp;from&nbsp;11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.&nbsp;at&nbsp;Buhler High School. This process will provide a hot lunch for the day and breakfast for the next day. &nbsp;

On the first day, families must bring their children so staff can verify eligibility and issue a unique number. After that, it's a simple drive-through process—just show the number and pick up meals, no children required.&nbsp;

One of the most important aspects of these programs is&nbsp;inclusivity.&nbsp;Any child from any community&nbsp;can receive meals at&nbsp;any of the participating sites&nbsp;in&nbsp;Hutchinson, Buhler, or surrounding areas.&nbsp;

Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce

The Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce is pleased to present the May Small Business Award to Sugar Creek Boutique.

Sugar Creek Boutique’s story began where cattle and creativity met — at livestock shows with Shelby’s family. Noticing a lack of retail options for women at these events, Shelby saw an opportunity. What started as a small rack of clothing at a cattle show quickly grew into a full-fledged boutique, following the family to craft fairs and the Kansas State Fair. Shelby’s entrepreneurial spirit took a bold leap in 2020, when she left her full-time retail job to focus solely on building the Sugar Creek brand. Even amid the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, she rose to the occasion — launching an online store, hosting Facebook Live sales, and eventually opening a brick-and-mortar location at the Hutchinson Mall. Today, the boutique calls North Main Street home — a move that marked a major milestone in its journey.

Sugar Creek Boutique has experienced steady growth. Shelby, once a one-woman operation juggling inventory, marketing, and web design, now has a team of three part-time employees. Together, they manage a thriving storefront, a strong online presence, and even international sales — yes, Sugar Creek has officially gone global!

Sugar Creek Boutique is set apart by their distinct style — a fusion of rustic western charm and modern flair, offering clothing, accessories, footwear, and even Chiefs gear in sizes ranging from small to 3XL. Inclusivity, affordability, and authenticity are the heartbeat of the boutique.

But the story doesn't stop with business success. Shelby is a passionate community advocate. In 2024, she launched the “Face the Storm” fund with Partridge Community Church, donating $10 from every apparel item sold to support those facing health and personal challenges. Sugar Creek Boutique also supports countless local causes — from 4H and United Way to local schools and FFA programs. As Shelby says, “There is power in shopping local, and Sugar Creek is proud to put our money where our heart is.”

As a leader and employer, Shelby fosters a work culture grounded in teamwork and fun. While traditional benefits may not be on the table yet, team members enjoy bonuses, store credit incentives, flexible schedules, and — most importantly — a workplace that feels like family.

Shelby defines success not just by sales, but by the impact Sugar Creek makes on its community, customers, and team. Her advice to future entrepreneurs? Support those who support you, and don’t forget to have fun while doing it.

So today, we are proud to recognize a business built on resilience, relationships, and a whole lot of heart.

Emergency medical crews from Reno County EMS and Winfield Fire/EMS are stationed in Augusta today to provide coverage for Butler County EMS as local personnel attend the funeral of a fallen colleague.

The deployment is part of a coordinated response under Kansas EMS Region III, with multiple agencies stepping in to support Butler County. The temporary coverage allows Butler County EMS staff the opportunity to mourn the loss of Paramedic Justin Lauppe, who died in the line of duty on May 16.

“It is a privilege to support our brothers and sisters in their moment of need,” the Reno County EMS Facebook post said. “We are honored to take their place in the 911 system today so they may honor one of their own.”

Reno County EMS emphasized that normal operations at home are unaffected, as the crew serving in Augusta volunteered while off duty.

Emergency services across Kansas continue to stand in solidarity with Butler County EMS during this time of grief, highlighting the deep bonds within the first responder community.

A recent fire at the Reno County landfill has prompted local fire officials to issue renewed warnings about the dangers of improperly handled lithium-ion batteries. 

Hutchinson Fire Marshal Michael Cain cited rising fire safety concerns tied to the popular batteries, which power everything from smartphones and laptops to electric vehicles and e-scooters. 

“You are correct — lithium-ion batteries are becoming a large issue, not only here, but throughout the country,” Cain said. “People don’t realize just how much we rely on them.” 

According to Cain, improper charging, exposure to high temperatures, and incorrect disposal are key factors in battery-related fires. In many cases, consumers overcharge their devices or leave them plugged in under hazardous conditions, such as inside hot vehicles during the summer months. 

“That can cause the batteries to go into what’s called thermal runaway,” Cain said. “They’ll catch fire or, in some cases, even explode.” 

Cain added that education and adherence to manufacturer guidelines are essential. Swelling in phone batteries, for example, is often a sign of failure, though protective cases can sometimes hide the warning signs. 

Officials also emphasized that lithium-ion battery fires require specialized firefighting equipment. Traditional water methods are ineffective and even dangerous. 

“We’ve got a new foam trailer to help with that,” Cain said. “Once those car batteries get going, they’re very difficult to put out.”

<a href="https://hutchpost.com/posts/293ff1e4-2f3d-4d46-9687-8cf54e16b421">(LINK)&nbsp;Recycling lithium-ion batteries and other hazardous household waste&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>

The recent fire at the landfill originated from lithium-ion batteries improperly discarded in the general waste pit, where heavy equipment further damaged them, creating a volatile situation. 

“Once they're in the pit and they get degraded or crushed, it’s a real challenge to suppress that fire,” Cain said. “You don’t know what else might catch fire in there.” 

To prevent future incidents, the fire department urges residents not to toss batteries into household trash. Instead, they should be taken to the landfill’s designated battery disposal area or dropped off at local retailers equipped to handle hazardous recycling. 

Home Depot, Lowe’s and Harbor Freight are other locations in town where the batteries can be recycled.  

As lithium-ion battery use continues to expand, officials say proper handling and disposal are crucial to keeping the community safe.

 </figure>According to Cain, improper charging, exposure to high temperatures, and incorrect disposal are key factors in battery-related fires. In many cases, consumers overcharge their devices or leave them plugged in under hazardous conditions, such as inside hot vehicles during the summer months. “That can cause the batteries to go into what’s called thermal runaway,” Cain said. “They’ll catch fire or, in some cases, even explode.” Cain added that education and adherence to manufacturer guidelines are essential. Swelling in phone batteries, for example, is often a sign of failure, though protective cases can sometimes hide the warning signs. <figure>

 </figure>Officials also emphasized that lithium-ion battery fires require specialized firefighting equipment. Traditional water methods are ineffective and even dangerous. “We’ve got a new foam trailer to help with that,” Cain said. “Once those car batteries get going, they’re very difficult to put out.”<a href="https://hutchpost.com/posts/293ff1e4-2f3d-4d46-9687-8cf54e16b421">(LINK)&nbsp;Recycling lithium-ion batteries and other hazardous household waste&nbsp;&nbsp;</a>The recent fire at the landfill originated from lithium-ion batteries improperly discarded in the general waste pit, where heavy equipment further damaged them, creating a volatile situation. “Once they're in the pit and they get degraded or crushed, it’s a real challenge to suppress that fire,” Cain said. “You don’t know what else might catch fire in there.” To prevent future incidents, the fire department urges residents not to toss batteries into household trash. Instead, they should be taken to the landfill’s designated battery disposal area or dropped off at local retailers equipped to handle hazardous recycling. Home Depot, Lowe’s and Harbor Freight are other locations in town where the batteries can be recycled. As lithium-ion battery use continues to expand, officials say proper handling and disposal are crucial to keeping the community safe.

Lithium-Ion battery disposal and safety a growing concern

🎧 BW Morning Show Interview: Michael Cain, Fire Marshall HFD  

Temperatures varied widely across the High Plains this week, with parts of the region experiencing conditions up to 8 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. Cooler-than-normal temperatures were observed in the western and northern portions.

Heavy rainfall blanketed much of the region, particularly from North Dakota to northern Nebraska, where weekly precipitation totals ranged from 400 to 600 percent above normal. These significant rains—between 2 to 8 inches above normal—prompted widespread improvements in drought conditions, including moderate to extreme drought in the Dakotas and Nebraska.

Rainfall also brought relief to parts of northern Wyoming and eastern Kansas. In those areas, precipitation totals were up to 3 inches above normal, leading to improvements in moderate to severe drought and areas of abnormal dryness.

Despite the beneficial moisture, some areas remained dry. Southwest Nebraska and western Wyoming saw expansions of extreme drought (D3), while southern Wyoming and Colorado experienced worsening severe and moderate drought. Abnormal dryness also spread across eastern Colorado.

The shifting conditions highlight the variability of the High Plains climate and the challenges of managing drought across such a large and diverse region.

Here are the rainfall totals for selected locations in the area:&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; • Hutchinson - .94" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; • Lyons - .06" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; • Stafford - .09" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; • Pratt - .39" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; • Kingman - .67" &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp; McPherson - .80"&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; •&nbsp; Newton - 1.16"

Rainfall totals are for the period ending at 7 a.m. Tuesday morning.&nbsp;

Drought Monitor:  Relief to southeast Kansas 

There may be some safety net help on the way for farmers if a bill passes both chambers and President Trump.&nbsp; 

It's named the Farmer Act, and it stands for "Federal Agriculture Risk Management Enhancement and Resilience".&nbsp; There are several Senators that have come up with this, and one of them is Kansas Senator Roger Marshall.&nbsp; If signed into law, it would strengthen crop insurance and increase levels of coverage at more affordable prices.&nbsp; 

It would also drop the requirement for choosing either the PLC or ARC programs, which should allow for more flexibility.&nbsp; Almost 100% percent of the major farm organizations support the idea.&nbsp;

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" takes us to the southeast corner of East Avenue F and South Elm.

Hadley Methodist Church was started as a mission in 1889 by the Rev. C.R. Thoburn. This mission was frequently called the Boot &amp; Shoe Sunday School. The first photo shows the chapel, completed in 1890, at 401 E. Ave. F.

The second photo shows the same structure in 1906.

This building was remodeled into the Hadley M.E. Church about 1910. The third photo shows the church in 1911.

The church was very active. It even had a church baseball team. The fourth photo shows that team in 1915.

The last church pastor was Marien Holbert in 1975 when it disbanded.

The building was later reborn as the Hadley Daycare Center, with Judith Teafol becoming its director.

In 1979, the daycare was moved to 330 Charles St. The building had one last revival in 1992 as the Hutchinson Community Ministries clothing center and social services.

It eventually became the private residence of William Brower. The fifth photo shows the structure in 2017 right before it was condemned and razed.

The sixth photo shows the vacant property today at 401 E. Ave. F, now owned by the Hutchinson Land Bank.
