Leadercast site in Hutchinson Wednesday

HUTCHINSON,
Kan. — 
HutchCC Athletic Director Josh Gooch is pleased with how the annual Blue Dragon golf tournament fundraiser is coming together.

"This is our opportunity as Blue Dragons and the Blue Dragon fan base, Blue Dragon nation, those that care about Blue Dragon sports to sign up, play in our golf tournament," said Athletic Director Josh Gooch. It's super affordable, but it's also just one of those days that my staff loves. I know that the people that play in this event look forward to it each year."

The tournament will be Friday, May 5, with a 10 a.m. shotgun start.&nbsp;

"Our institution does a really nice job of providing us scholarship dollars," Gooch said. "These are the dollars that go above and beyond, as the NJCAA has allowed us to now offer scholarships for housing and meals. These are the scholarships that go above and beyond and help pay for those things."

It's important for the recruiting efforts of HutchCC that they are able to recruit well beyond just central Kansas.

"It does allow us to have program-wide resources to go and attract the top talent," Gooch said. "We can attract them. We have to be able to provide them with the equal scholarship that maybe they are being offered at other institutions."

For more information on the tournament, call the Athletic Department office at (620) 665-3530.

UPDATE: Hutchinson man victim of Sunday night hit and run

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Mayor Jon Richardson notes that <a href="https://hutchpost.com/posts/53373f49-f5fb-48ff-80ca-1260115902b0">the first phase of the Woodie Seat Freeway project had just one bidder</a> and that is a concern, but he sees some reasons behind that.

"I think part of it is the environment we're in right now for construction," Richardson said. "Everyone, for the most part, is really busy. I think that has to weigh in on it."

Richardson did note that just because it is a single bidder does not mean the process isn't designed to be competitive.

"They also do not know until the bid letting comes out that they were the only bidder," Richardson said. "Up until that time, as you're bidding it, you're thinking, how competitive do I need to be to win this job? There's still a little bit of aspect on the cost control on that end, but it would be nicer to have three to five bids come in on projects like this."

Another issue is that cities are competing with counties and KDOT for the construction labor pool. That's one aspect where the shared bid between the county and the city for this may have helped.

"If there are state or federal infrastructure projects that could be gotten that have a lot of dollars going to it, we're competing against those projects for their capacity to do the job."

Hutchinson has received a combined Cost Share award of $1.5 million for Phase 1 of the Woodie Seat Freeway project.

Area schools among Challenge Award Recipients

Glenn Brunkow,&nbsp;Pottawatomie County Farmer

Last week included one of the highlights of my year. The Pottawatomie County Farm Bureau hosted its Day on the Farm for most of the fourth graders in the county. It was even more special because it was the first time we had hosted the event in three years. I look forward to this every year, and it was so good to get back in the swing of it this year. It is the only Day on the Farm I have participated in, but I know many other counties host similar events or try to reach students in some form. Education has always been one of the cornerstones of Kansas Farm Bureau, and it is one of the most important things we do. We all know that those of us in agriculture are an ever-decreasing number and consumers are increasingly more separated from a close knowledge of what we do. I consider Pottawatomie County to be close to agriculture, but I am always surprised at how little the students really know about what we do. This year I hosted a station where we talked about sheep. The students were excited and eager to learn about how sheep are raised. I led them through a typical year starting with when the sheep are born and going through when they are harvested. I explained how we care for their every need. We talked about meat and wool. The students were enthralled, and I even had parents who a few questions, proving that you are never too old to learn. Of course, having three lambs to pet and look at did not hurt anything and, if I am honest, were the highlight of the station. I had also asked my friend Laney, a 4-Her and FFA member, to talk about her sheep (the three lambs were hers). It was good for the kids to see that someone closer to their age was also connected to agriculture. I hope the fourth graders got a sense of what we do in agriculture from the day. All facets of farming and ranching were covered by people who make it their livelihoods by growing food. From livestock to grains, conservation to agri-business with a little farm safety thrown in for good measure. No pun intended, but the seed of knowledge about agriculture was planted and maybe someday something they learned yesterday will be remembered. I must also come clean; I also get as much out of the day as the kids do. It reminds me of why I chose to go out every morning and do what I do. I love talking about the animals and crops that I raise, and it is truly a joy to share that with an eager audience. If you ever have a chance to help with an ag education event, I strongly encourage you to participate. I promise it will be worth every second. &nbsp; "Insight" is a weekly column published by Kansas Farm Bureau, the state's largest farm organization whose mission is to strengthen agriculture and the lives of Kansans through advocacy, education and service.&nbsp;

HUTCHINSON,
Kan. — 
The Hutchinson Art Center's Annual Art Fair is Saturday at the Sunflower South building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds.

"There will be a raffle," said board member Barbara Withrow. "We have two beautiful, original works of art, one from Jeannette Mull, who is a local lady who is so beloved and from Jason Becker, something different for Jason, it's a car, it's an old car, very cool. There is also a table for kids. We will give them a sack with art supplies, which we did last year.

Thousands of people attend the event each spring.

"There will be glass, mosaics, ceramics, dolls, metal sculpture, mixed media, jewelry, chalk art, photography, sculpture, and of course, paintings."

The event is free to attend from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Art fair is Saturday at Fairgrounds

HESSTON, Kan. — The 10th Annual Vince Garcia Golf Tournament is taking place Saturday, May 6 at Hesston Golf Course.

"Ten years ago, the Newton Fire Department, our friends over there, started a benefit golf tournament for one of their members that had been diagnosed with cancer, Vince Garcia," said Hutchinson Fire Captain Troy Mueller. "They had the golf tournament to help raise funds for Vince to pay for some medical expenses. After Vince passed, they kept the tournament going. They find a fire family in the area that had some medical expenses going on and they had them as the beneficiaries for the tournament."

A Hutchinson Fire family will get the proceeds this year.

"It's the wife of one of our members, Martin Swiggart, he's one of our firefighters, his wife Taira had been diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer not quite a year ago," Mueller said. "They caught it very early on, luckily, and her prognosis is really good. However, the treatment she has to have, they have to travel down to Texas to get. It's rather expensive. This year, our friends over at Newton Fire decided that they would be the beneficiaries of the tournament."

The Swiggart family has a baby, Waylon, who is not quite a year old. Taira has worked with Stovers Restoration for 10 years.

"They do a lot after the fire," Mueller said. "They are a company that comes in and does the restoration work to help victims of fires get their life back together and kind of restore their homes and get back to some kind of normalcy. A lot of folks probably know who Taira is. They do a lot of work with insurance agencies and plumbers in the area, doing some classes and some recert hours that those folks need."

There are 36 teams signed up for the event. If you can't attend, but still want to help, you can Venmo a payment to Zac Lujano with Newton Fire at <a href="https://account.venmo.com/u/vggolf">@VGGolf</a>&nbsp;or call him at (316) 288-1744 or email <a href="mailto:zaclujano@newtonfireems.com">zaclujano@newtonfireems.com</a> to make other arrangements.

Hutch Fire family beneficiaries of golf tournament

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Fire Captain Troy Mueller said locally, we've been lucky this wildfire season, but public awareness has also helped reduce risk on the worst days.

"People are paying more attention," Mueller said. "I think some of the education, since the fires last year, people are more careful about what they do and they pay more attention to when they are burning and what they are burning and making sure, if they had a fire, they got it completely out afterwards."

There was supposed to be some wildfire training in past weeks, but conditions on those days were too severe to even train. Mueller will be doing some training this week.

"We're going to be doing some wildland and urban interface training the first week in May," Mueller said. "We're going to be going out in the Fire District 2 area and looking at doing structure protection on some of the houses that are in that area and doing real life training of deploying hoses at some of the houses that people have been kind enough to let us practice laying out hoses around their houses and looking at houses and how we can triage and protect their homes in that urban interface area."

It's also a good source of training when Hutch Fire can send crews later in the year when the risk is less here out west to help and have it paid for with federal dollars.

"Our engine here, Brush 71 that we send out, it will probably be available to go assist with fires out west sometime around the first part of June. We have members that are looking forward to going out and getting that experience and helping out in other states where it's needed. Hopefully, it's not a super busy season. I know that the guys that do get to go out, it's a good experience. It's training and not only is it helping out fire, but they are able to come back here and utilize that training. It makes us just a better department to be able to handle these wildfires."

Green up is starting to happen, so if we could get a little more rain and less windy conditions in the next few weeks, it could mitigate the risk considerably.

YODER, Kan. — Yoder Charter School is hosting its second annual chicken barbecue meal May 6 for its agricultural programs.

"The charter school's mission is to really use project based learning," said Becky King with the charter school. "Something that's really unique about Yoder Charter School is that we've got combined grade levels. We've got teachers teaching multiple grade levels in a classroom and using projects allows them to teach a lot of different concepts through a wide range of levels. The chickens are one way to do that. That's mostly our middle school class project."

Join YCS for a delicious meal including chicken that was raised at Yoder Charter School by students this spring plus coleslaw, baked beans, a roll, and cookie. Meals will be available (by donation) beginning at 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. or until sold out.

"I asked the teacher the other day, I said, I can't tell if we've got enough feed space for the birds," King said. "When we put the feed in there, they kind of go nuts and they are climbing on top of each other. We've got some round feeders and we've got some long feeders. Go, figure out how many inches of space we've got for the birds to eat. They had to figure out their geometry and get out their calculators. The charter school is just a really great place for kids to be immersed in real life ways of using math that's in the classroom."

The meal is by donation. The work has been done by the Kindergarten through 8th grade students at the school. The goal is to continue to expand the ag programs at the school in future years and they have expanded even since last year. The projects depend on grade level.

"The little kids have a flock of 12 chickens," King said. "Every day, they are collecting eggs. That's the best job for our youngest kids, and taking care of those. We sell them in the office, when we've got them available. With 12 chickens, it's not a dozen every day. They also do the feed and water for our chickens. Our middle age kids, our 4th and 5th graders have taken care of pigs this year and now they are also caring for lambs. They do daily feed and water and just wellness checks on the animals, learning how to recognize when they are healthy and when they are not."

Enrollment at YCS goes first to students requesting space that live in USD 312, but after that, other area students can join, if they can provide transportation and there is room in their grade level. For more information, call principal Shannon Atherton at (620) 465-2605.

 </figure>NICK GOSNELL Hutch PostYODER, Kan. — Yoder Charter School is hosting its second annual chicken barbecue meal May 6 for its agricultural programs."The charter school's mission is to really use project based learning," said Becky King with the charter school. "Something that's really unique about Yoder Charter School is that we've got combined grade levels. We've got teachers teaching multiple grade levels in a classroom and using projects allows them to teach a lot of different concepts through a wide range of levels. The chickens are one way to do that. That's mostly our middle school class project."Join YCS for a delicious meal including chicken that was raised at Yoder Charter School by students this spring plus coleslaw, baked beans, a roll, and cookie. Meals will be available (by donation) beginning at 11 a.m. until 1 p.m. or until sold out."I asked the teacher the other day, I said, I can't tell if we've got enough feed space for the birds," King said. "When we put the feed in there, they kind of go nuts and they are climbing on top of each other. We've got some round feeders and we've got some long feeders. Go, figure out how many inches of space we've got for the birds to eat. They had to figure out their geometry and get out their calculators. The charter school is just a really great place for kids to be immersed in real life ways of using math that's in the classroom."The meal is by donation.

TOPEKA – The Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) recently provided the 2022 Kansas Civil Asset Forfeiture Report to the Kansas Legislature, and released it to the public at <a href="http://www.kasfr.kbi.ks.gov">www.kasfr.kbi.ks.gov</a>.

Civil asset forfeiture is a procedure that authorizes law enforcement agencies to seize and forfeit property and cash that was obtained with proceeds from, or used to facilitate, certain criminal activity. Once a forfeiture proceeding concludes, the forfeited property or funds may be used for permissible law enforcement operations, or to further public safety objectives.

Reno County agencies with Civil Asset Forfeiture numbers over $10,000 according to the report include&nbsp;$31,922.81 seized and forfeited to the Hutchinson Police Department and&nbsp;$68,621.01 siezed and&nbsp;$66,621.01 forfeited to the Reno County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit.

Civil Asset Forfeiture Reports have been submitted to the Kansas Legislature annually since 2020, as is required by K.S.A. 60-4127. In 2018, the Legislature amended the 1994 Kansas Standard Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Act to include this additional reporting requirement.

The amended law requires that all Kansas law enforcement agencies submit asset forfeiture incident reports and an annual report to the KBI through the Kansas Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Repository (KASFR). The KBI collects and reconciles the submitted information and reports it to the Kansas Legislature, and the public, in an effort to improve transparency about the forfeiture process.

This report covers the period of January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. It includes approximately $4.61 million in seized property, and approximately $3.45 million in forfeited property.

A breakdown of seizure and forfeiture activity by agency is provided, as well as information on forfeiture fund expenditures. Detailed information pertaining to reported seizures such as the location, the associated criminal offense, and the age, gender, race and ethnicity of the owner or possessor is included.

The annual report does not comprise all data submitted by Kansas law enforcement agencies.

2022 Kansas Civil Asset Forfeiture Report released

For Eric Wall, director of sales at Grain Craft, milling in McPherson is a family tradition — as is active involvement in the Home Baking Association, a non-profit organization that promotes increased home baking.

“Any company that has a presence in the baking aisle should be a part of the HBA because the vision is to grow the practice of home baking, whether you sell flour, sugar, yeast, any kind of ingredient, even baking utensils, pans or baking mats,” Wall said, who is currently serving his second term as HBA president. “It makes sense for a company like Grain Craft to be a member because we want to have the association continue to teach and educate and keep people baking at home. So that’s why we’ve stayed involved for all these years.”

While Wall’s family were not charter members of the HBA, their membership dates to the 1960s, originally through their family-owned Wall-Rogalsky Milling Co, in McPherson. Wall joined the family business after he graduated from Kansas State University in 1982 with a degree in agricultural economics. The company was sold to Cereal Food Processors in 2000, a company that was acquired by Milner/Pendleton in 2014. The acquisition resulted in the creation of a new company — Grain Craft — now the largest independent flour miller in the nation.

Grain Craft’s network of mills supplies bagged and bulk flour to customers from coast to coast, including food service, pizza and tortilla industries and grocery stores. McPherson, where Wall continues to work, is Grain Craft’s primary small packaging mill, supplying two to 50-pound sacks, primarily for retail.

This strong connection to retail sales makes the HBA an ideal organization for Grain Craft since the HBA provides resources to anyone who teaches or fosters home baking skills and promotes the benefits of baking. In 2022, the HBA reached 7.2 million educators and consumers.

The HBA recently sponsored a three-day event with the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA), a national career and technical student organization for young people in family and consumer sciences in public and private schools. The 2023 Baking and Milling Industry Immersion brought students and teachers to Manhattan, Kansas, to tour local bakeries, flour mills and the Kansas Wheat Innovation Center. The KWIC is also home to the Grain Craft Innovation Lab, a space focused on quality and product performance analysis.

“FCCLA is trying to build these kids to be the next generation of leaders, and FCCLA has been a longtime partner with the HBA,” Wall said. “We wanted to do something like this to get their students and teachers to understand that there are some really nice opportunities in the baking and milling industries.”

Wall credited Charlene Patton, HBA executive director, and Sharon Davis, longtime HBA family and consumer sciences educator, as integral reasons why the HBA continues to succeed in their mission of promoting home baking through activities like the recent FCCLA event.

He also wants wheat farmers to know the connection between families who purchased baking ingredients, retailers and milling companies like Grain Craft flows directly back to Kansas farms.

“We want people to bake at home. They’ll buy flour, which is made from the farmers’ wheat,” Wall said. “Within a 100-mile radius, we source and grind a lot of wheat each year. So, if people continue to bake at home, that only helps provide the farmer with a good market for their wheat.”
