Daily Bookings

SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Kelly Danyluk with the Reno County Veterans' Memorial told Hutch Post that there is still room for more names on the memorial in South Hutchinson.

"A little over 3000 names we have room for," Danyluk said. "They're trickling in slowly. I have about 70 right now and when I get up to another 315, we'll engrave another panel."

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.&nbsp;

"Go online and submit a name at&nbsp;<a href="https://renocountyveterans.com/">https://renocountyveterans.com/</a>," Danyluk said. "You can go to the City of South Hutchinson office. They have a paper form you can fill out. They'll take that and get it to us."

A Veteran needs to have served in the military and be born in Reno County or have lived in Reno County for at least 10 years. They're hoping to engrave a new panel each year.

"We did one last summer," Danyluk said. "It turned out really good. If we have enough names, we'll do one again in the spring or summer of this next year."

They are still looking for donations, particularly to keep putting up fresh flags, as the Kansas wind makes them not last very long.&nbsp;The memorial is at Discovery Loop in South Hutchinson near the intersection of K-96, K-61, and U.S. 50, west of the Love's truck stop.

HUTCHINSON Kan. — The City of Hutchinson lit an eternal flame on Friday at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial in the Salt City. The monument and eternal flame is located at First and Walnut.&nbsp;

The eternal flame is to symbolize gratitude for the nation's veterans. The flame is lit inside a small lantern in front of the monument and faces First. The project was completed in collaboration with the Kansas Gas Service and the City of Hutchinson Parks and Facilities Department.&nbsp;

Director of Parks and Facilities Justin Combs said there was some advance work that needed to be taken care of to complete the project. This included a new quarter of an inch gas line that runs up to the flame.

"We did not have gas in the middle of the island or in the middle of First Street," Combs said at the ceremony. "That was the first step, to see if we could even get gas here. The gas line they tapped into is actually behind the church, so they had to run a new service line down the sidewalk into the street, into the meter right here behind me."&nbsp;

Vice Mayor Greg Fast was present for the ceremony and said the monument that the flame is displayed in front of was dedicated in 1919 and honors soldiers and sailors who served in World War I.&nbsp;

"Thank you veterans," Fast said to those in attendance. "That's the reason that we can have streets and roads and live in a free country so again, collaboration is the key here."&nbsp;

Community Relations Manager Lauren Clary of Kansas Gas Service said the eternal flame is a symbol of eternal gratitude for veterans.&nbsp;

"At Kansas Gas Service, we believe in serving the community not only by delivering reliable and affordable natural gas, but also by actively participating in initiatives that honor and support our veterans and service members," Clary said. "It's a small token of our appreciation for their service and sacrifice to preserve our nation's freedom."&nbsp;

A ribbon cutting also took place after the the eternal flame was lit. Members of the American Legion Post 68 and community members also attended the ceremony.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Light Up Hutch Christmas Parade in Downtown Hutch on the evening of Dec. 2 will have pedestrian only viewing areas from DCI Park down to Avenue B.&nbsp;

This means you will park to the East or West of Main Street and bring in your own chair to view the parade in the parking stalls. 

For those that like to view the parade from inside their vehicles, there will still be parking from north of the railroad tracks up to the end of the route at 7th.

Closures on Main will begin at 3 p.m. in the pedestrian only areas so all parked cars can be removed.  Street closures will begin at 4 p.m.&nbsp;

Christmas parade to have closed parking stalls south of tracks

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jeff Herndon with the Dole VA Medical Center in Wichita wants Veterans to know, if you are having suicidal thoughts, get help. They'll pay for it.

"It's not just Veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system," Herndon said. "This is all Veterans, assuming that you weren't dishonorably discharged. What does that entail? First of all, you are eligible for up to 30 days of inpatient or crisis residential care. You can be in the hospital, if you need to, for up to 30 days. After that, you have up to 90 days of outpatient care related to acute suicide crisis. That will include everything. If you need to meet with social workers or anything like that, it's not just direct clinical care. Any prescriptions you might have associated with that will be covered, as well as emergency transportation required to receive emergent suicide care. Here's the bottom line, you're sitting at home, you're getting deep inside your own head, you feel like you're wanting to take your own life, pick up the phone. Call 911. Have that ambulance take you to the nearest emergency room. The VA is going to pick up the entire bill from that point forward."

Herndon also said there has been some improvement in the veteran suicide rate in recent years, though it is still too high.

"There's that myth out there about the 22 Veterans a day commit suicide," Herndon said. "We've made a lot of progress on bringing that number down. As of 2020, which are the most recent statistics that we have for an entire year, that number was down to 16.8. It's the lowest it's been since 2018, when it was 18.6 per day. We're making progress, but the bottom line is that one suicide a day is one too many. We've got to get that number down to zero and we continue to work hard to do that."

Herndon said six in ten veteran suicides happen to those who are not using VA healthcare.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Community College President Carter File announced on Thursday his intent to retire in 2024.

File submitted his request to the college board of trustees indicating his intent to retire effective August 31, 2024.

SOUTH HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After over an hour and a half of public input Thursday afternoon, the Reno County Planning Commission plans to make some edits to the solar regulations document before moving it along in the process, but Thursday's meeting was the public's one chance to speak on the issue before the Planning Commission.

"This is the voice, right now," said Planning Commission chair Russ Goertzen. "We take all of our information that we collected through the public hearing. Once we close it, that's the input that we have to make the document."

The Commission closed the public hearing with just the single day of comments, but Goertzen wanted to think some more before having discussion on edits. Goertzen's comments are edited for clarity.

"I want to thank you all for your comments," Goertzen said. "We appreciate your time. This is a journey and we need all of you for this input. There's a lot of information to digest and I know as late as today, Mark has given us some more input. I, myself, would like to take some time to review this. I, by no means, am ready to make a decision right now."

That was the consensus of the board, so they will have further consideration of any edits to the document at the board's regular Nov. 16 meeting at 4:30 p.m. at the Reno County Public Works office at 600 Scott Boulevard in South Hutchinson.&nbsp;

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — For a third time, PrairieStar Health Center has been awarded the National Quality Leader award by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).

On Monday November 6, HRSA announced the winners of the 2023 national quality awards.

“Health centers are cornerstones of their communities, providing essential preventive and primary care for more than 30 million patients who face significant barriers,” HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, said in Monday’s press release.

These awards recognize the nation’s top performing community health centers for providing the highest quality care to improve health outcomes.

PrairieStar was awarded the National Quality Leader award in heart health for the third time in the last four years, an award that is only awarded to the top 1-2% of all Federally Qualified Health Centers in the nation, PrairieStar is the only healthcare facility in Kansas to receive this award three times since the award has been given.

“As a three-time National Quality Leader, we know that patient satisfaction and the relationships we build, continue to produce patient treatment effectiveness and quality care,” PrairieStar Chief Quality Officer, Mona Broomfield, said.

PrairieStar also received the Health Center Quality Leader Gold award and the National Quality Leader award for advancing healthcare IT. 

Awarded to only 10% of health centers in the nation, the Health Center Quality Leader Gold award recognizes health centers who are the best overall performers in delivering clinical quality. There were only two winners of this award in Kansas.

PrairieStar wins national quality awards

Cindy Falk, Nutrition Educator for Kansas Wheat

Kansas children are learning more about the wheat grown in their communities and loving eating more whole grain-rich foods, thanks to a federal grant that is enabling school districts and daycares across the state to purchase equipment and source locally produced flour.

According to the requirements for USDA’s National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, which sets guidelines for the nation’s feeding programs for K-12 students, 80 percent of weekly grains offered at lunch and breakfast must be considered whole grain-rich. Whole grain-rich foods are defined as foods containing at least 50 percent whole grains and the remaining grains must be enriched. Under the Child and Adult Care Food Program, the USDA program that provides reimbursements for daycares and other qualifying programs, meals must include one whole grain item daily.

“The impact of Child Nutrition program operators to improve the quality of grain foods served, access to local food sources, agricultural education and appealing whole grain recipe development is to be commended,” said Cindy Falk, nutrition educator for Kansas Wheat. “It is a win, win for students' health and nutrition needs, local wheat farmers and communities.”

In 2022, the Kansas Department of Education received a USDA Farm to School grant to support the planning, development and implementation of farm to school programs. The department’s Child Nutrition and Wellness program — which works to help incorporate local foods in meals and snacks — divided the grant into sub-grants of $100,000 to 12 Child Nutrition Program sponsors, which included school, childcare and summer meal programs. The funding facilitated equipment purchases so these programs could utilize locally milled, whole grain flour as well as new whole grain recipes and culinary training for food service staff on how to bake with whole grain flour.

“We partnered with the Kansas Wheat Commission to improve access to local foods, specifically local flour, in Kansas Child Nutrition Programs through comprehensive farm-to-school programming that includes local procurement and agricultural education efforts,” said Barb Depew, RD, LD, Farm to Plate project director for the Kansas State Department of Education.

At a recent quarterly meeting of the Farm to Plate project, the grant recipients shared an update about the equipment they purchased and how they are incorporating whole grain foods into their programs.

“It was exciting to learn about the diversity of programs across the state and the children they are feeding,” Falk said. “The primary goals include improving the quality of grain foods served, expanding freshly baked menu items and increasing access to local foods.”

Starting with a direct farm connection, students in Greeley County grew white wheat on the school campus for USD 200, which they harvested and cleaned with the help of a local elevator. Christina Marquardt, the district’s nutrition services manager, reported the grain mill the district purchased is being used to grind those wheat kernels into whole wheat flour for breads, rolls, garlic bread and hamburger buns to feed 200 K-12th students — using 25 pounds of whole grain flour per week.

Other grant recipients purchased equipment for their school kitchens. According to Food Service Director Laura Fails, USD 320 in Wamego purchased two oven racks and a second 40-quart mixer bowl. The purchases allow for multiple menu items to be produced at the same time with less labor and more output. Overall, the staff serves between 1,100 and 1,300 students per day.

“We have been baking for years with Farmer Direct Foods stone-ground whole white wheat flour and the staff makes all their breads from scratch,” Fails said. “A student favorite is their rich 100% whole wheat chocolate cake and students do not realize that it is a whole grain product.”

Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 also used the grain to purchase locally produced flour and equipment. Stephanie Smith, child nutrition director, sourced Willie’s Pride whole wheat flour and bread flour from the K-State Department of Grain Science and Industry’s mill. They also used funds to purchase a dough divider and rounder, which is used for pizza crust, hamburger buns and rolls. Every morning they serve breakfast bread to about 1,200 children, followed by 3,800 lunches.

“We have already purchased 4,500 pounds of local flour this year,” Smith shared. “We are looking forward to baking up more delicious homemade menu items utilizing local products.”

The new equipment and flour purchases are a win-win combination across the state. Jordan Back, food service manager at Oswego USD 504, reported their new 60-quart mixer helps them serve three to four homemade bread items per week, including hamburger buns. Back noted they are sourcing Hudson Cream Flour from Stafford County Flour Mills, which he says is of fantastic quality.

“Although our recipe is 60 percent whole wheat flour and 40 percent white flour, the students and adults cannot identify it as whole grain bread,” shared Back. “Kids love it and we’ve already seen about a 10 percent increase in our participation, and I genuinely believe a lot of it has to do with the homemade bread items that we’ve introduced.”

Other districts are expanding the variety of products they are preparing, including USD 445 in Coffeyville.

“The staff is so happy with our new equipment and proud of what they are doing,” said Casey Worden, child nutrition services director. “While the grant was important for the children, it also makes the staff proud of the variety of foods they are preparing like hot pockets, coffee cake, garlic knots, waffles and muffins incorporating local berries.”

Beyond school districts, other providers used the sub-grants to encourage the use of local products, instill a love of baking and teach life skills. Child Care Links is a network of daycare home providers in 22 counties. Director Beth Carlton reported 10 home providers received bread kits, which included a mixer, baking utensils and pans. That equipment was used to involve daycare children in making biscuits, pancakes and pizza.

“You know, sometimes just sitting at the desk, we do not always realize the impact that it’s making until photos come across,” said Carlton, “And it really does make your day and remind you why you’re doing the work that you do, and it boosts your motivation to keep going.”

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Gas prices continue to tumble and the $3 mark is in sight. In fact, five Kansas counties already have averages below that mark as of Thursday.

"We've been on a pretty strong downward trend in terms of gas prices over the last almost two months now," said Shawn Steward with AAA Kansas. "In the past month, we've gone from an average of $3.51 a gallon to today's $3.15 a gallon across the state."

Area counties continue on either side of the state average.

"Demand has been fairly low over the past few weeks," Steward said. "Crude oil prices at the global level have stayed pretty stable to lower. That's when been driving our lower prices at the pumps."

WTI Crude was at $76.10 per barrel as of Thursday afternoon.

"With holiday travel weekends coming up for Thanksgiving and then the year end holidays, a lot of people will be traveling for those weekends and weeks. It's always a good thing to save a little bit of money at the pumps when you go to fill up."

Just a five and a half hour drive away is Wilbarger County in north Texas. Their average as of Thursday is just $2.63 a gallon.

AAA: Could we see sub $3 a gallon gas soon? Maybe

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Larned Mayor William Nusser who has led the effort to get a public input opportunity for those who want to save the half-mile oval at the Kansas State Fairgrounds, spoke before the Hutchinson City Council on Tuesday to invite them to the session that is due on Nov. 14 at 5 p.m. in Dillon Hall in the Encampment Building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds.

"We are having a meeting, this will be the first one with the Kansas State Fair Board," Nusser said. "They are going to have public comments and then also receiving proposals for future promotion of the facility. We're kind of in a weird gray, that we're going to get proposals about future promotion, but we don't know yet if there's a racetrack to promote, so there's going to be an hour session there for public comments, but the meeting will be open with the proposals."

State Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz is not publicizing the number of proposals received prior to the Nov. 14 meeting, but he did tell Hutch Post via email that if the board wants to dive deeper into any proposals they think might be viable after hearing them on Tuesday, it would likely take a special session of the board on a separate day to do that. 

At this point, the next scheduled Fair Board meeting after the one next week is not until January and that would be too long to wait if they want to go forward with keeping the track.

 </figure>NICK GOSNELL Hutch PostHUTCHINSON, Kan. — Larned Mayor William Nusser who has led the effort to get a public input opportunity for those who want to save the half-mile oval at the Kansas State Fairgrounds, spoke before the Hutchinson City Council on Tuesday to invite them to the session that is due on Nov. 14 at 5 p.m. in Dillon Hall in the Encampment Building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds."We are having a meeting, this will be the first one with the Kansas State Fair Board," Nusser said. "They are going to have public comments and then also receiving proposals for future promotion of the facility. We're kind of in a weird gray, that we're going to get proposals about future promotion, but we don't know yet if there's a racetrack to promote, so there's going to be an hour session there for public comments, but the meeting will be open with the proposals."State Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz is not publicizing the number of proposals received prior to the Nov. 14 meeting, but he did tell Hutch Post via email that if the board wants to dive deeper into any proposals they think might be viable after hearing them on Tuesday, it would likely take a special session of the board on a separate day to do that. At this point, the next scheduled Fair Board meeting after the one next week is not until January and that would be too long to wait if they want to go forward with keeping the track.<a href="https://hutchpost.com/download" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a>&nbsp;to download the Hutch Post mobile app. <a href="https://hutchpost.com/posts/5e73b532afae0f4d5f5d90ea" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a>&nbsp;to sign up for the daily Hutch Post email news update.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

Public meeting on racetrack next week

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — In October, 43% (seasonally adjusted) of all owners reported job openings they could not fill in the current period, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUdV85DYPGXNgeGGEDygV4bHSaCXcllMgacVUPMHKf8RdlEISuEr4pV7a9exRbJtC7kL00OxEOnb-2BD0zsXKS2DhQCU7-2BaIVlO5DsnkcxZ3fLQxogC_WNeAFANdVbitjk7LWYjgmCGTl6KezMUVOMKAx15NbxtPvHRUjvESGTmd7OCjsgY30JFCU1CX5UC1q7EoHfy22HnoBP3CmwONonk-2FkFe12euzrf5NmyxFZLM9jBZvKrQCoMh-2B-2BojjP-2FXL2a4jziLHFRrmJcpmJ7vCOBGNorp2-2BX-2BieEhmgXuU0gqZisG3FAnxumHBoA5-2B-2BuK-2FSCiAzT2IJB1PLS701R11DgwfNFNurSMGEVSxpmFRc2e5KhdlXAcQqxWpqtgWy-2FkYzTx39JG2QRF6sP1R2i-2FDkTXGHieozPmrgqEweAhijT4orq0OcE-2FhMGQJ0Gwzq-2B7JtRKh0KPl7V-2FIL9lueq6Od0oZKW8U-2FY0-3D" target="_blank">NFIB’s monthly jobs report</a>. The percent of small business owners reporting labor quality as their top small business operating problem remains elevated at 23%.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"We're at, really, near record highs within almost the last decade," said Dan Murray with NFIB Kansas. "Without qualified applicants, it's going to be really difficult for our main street retailers, in particular, to maximize their sales during this upcoming holiday season. This is an important season for retailers, who bring home a large piece of their revenue."

Labor costs reported as the single most important problem for business owners were unchanged at 9%, four points below the highest reading of 13% in December 2021.

"What will happen, of course, is small business owners will put more on their own back to try to make it through," Murray said. "Certainly, they are offering more in terms of compensation and benefits to get people on board, as well."

Seasonally adjusted, a net 36% reported raising compensation, unchanged from September. A net 24% plan to raise compensation in the next three months, up one point from September.

"When we see, in this most recent one, 90% of those hiring or trying to hire reported few or no qualified applicants for the positions they are trying to fill, let's say that reduces to 80% in 2024, that's still a pretty bad number."

Thirty-seven percent of owners have openings for skilled workers and 18% have openings for unskilled labor.

NFIB Report: Jobs still hard to fill

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Central Christian School is continuing the school's 75th Anniversary Celebration at its Stewardship Dinner on Saturday, November 11.

"The Stewardship Dinner is our yearly fundraising banquet," said Dr. John Walker with Central Christian School. "It really is a great time to connect with other people, to have fellowship and enjoy some good food. This year, we have the German supper we're bringing back for one year only, which has the famous verenika that everybody loves. Our guest speaker is the President and CEO of&nbsp;Renewanation, Jeff Keaton. He has agreed to be our speaker.&nbsp;Renewanation is an organization that supports and encourages Christian schools across the nation."

Going back through the school's history has been a testament to God's faithfulness to the school.

"One of the things that's been real exciting, is just to hear the stories of alumni through the years and people who have worked at the school for a variety of years," Walker said. "The amount of times I've heard stories about the school almost not making ends meet and people not getting paid, willingly not getting paid to make sure that the school continues on, is really cool. It reminds me of Psalm 126:3, which says, The Lord has done great things for us. We are very glad. That is our theme verse this year."

In addition to the speaker, there will be a chance for former CCS musicians to return and perform.

"One of the really neat things I think was a really great idea by our staff and our volunteers who are coordinating the Stewardship Dinner this Saturday, they thought it would be a really neat thing, at our 75th anniversary, if we had alumni who participated in choir or just alumni in general who wanted to come back and practice, to perform that night."

The Stewardship Dinner at CCS seeks to affirm the importance of a biblical worldview education and to encourage families and constituents to consider supporting CCS with prayer and financial gifts.&nbsp;

Stewardship Dinner at CCS is this weekend

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 100 block of North Main on the west side. 

Ben Nussbaum came to Hutchinson about 1885 and opened a small men's clothing store at 203 N. Main on the ground floor of the Midland Hotel in 1886. The first photo shows that location.

After rapidly expanding and stocking higher-grade apparel, in 1892 he built the two-story building at 119-121 N. Main. The second photo shows that location about 1908.

In 1921, the building went through extensive remodeling both inside and out. In 1960, the Meschke family bought the business, continued the offerings and eventually changed the name to Meschke's in 1963. The third photo shows that name change in 1971.

In 1988, Meschke's went out of business. In 1989, Sport Shack appeared at that location, owned by Richard Strano. The fourth photo shows that business, which closed about 2017.

The fifth photo shows the 119-121 N. Main business today, showing the latest location of Reffner's, now owned by Brian and Kathy Reffner. The building is owned by the Ging Investment Co.

📷 Throwback Thursday: Sport Shack - Vol. 43

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Get ready for winter fishing at Carey Park Pond.

The Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks has shifted trout season. It is now from Dec. 1 to March 31. Please note that the trout, usually at Dillon Nature Center, won't be there this year due to low water conditions. A Kansas fishing license and a trout permit are required. Visit local retailers in Hutchinson or the KDWP website to get your permits. Trout will be stocked near the beginning of each month from December to February.
