K-STATE RESEARCH AND EXTENSION NEWS SERVICE&nbsp;

MANHATTAN, Kan. –&nbsp;It is time to resume lawn maintenance as spring weather arrives and grass begins to grow more quickly.

Kansas State University horticulture expert Cynthia Domenghini says proper maintenance is a proactive approach to reduce weed growth and other stresses to the lawn while minimizing costs and the environmental impact.

The optimal mowing height for a home lawn depends on the type of grass, lawn use and time of year, Domenghini said.

“Mow at the high end of the recommended range for each species to improve drought resistance by encouraging deeper roots,” Domenghini said. “Only one-third of the grass leaf should be cut at a time.”

Removing more by lowering the mowing height results in physiological stress and possible heat or cold injury. If the lawn has become overgrown and needs more than one-third removed it will need to be done gradually with a few days between each mowing.

“Mowing frequency should be based on the growth rate of the lawn,” Domenghini said. She suggests not following a set schedule that may result in excessive clippings left on the grass.

“Proper timing of mowing means the grass clippings are shorter and can be returned to the&nbsp;lawn,” Domenghini said. “This contributes nitrogen back to the lawn.”

Long clippings can block sunlight to the live turf and promote disease, so they should be bagged and removed.

Maintaining a sharp blade on the mower is essential for a clean cut, Domenghini added. She said a dull mower blade tears the grass and causes the tips to turn whitish.

“Mow using a different pattern each time to prevent soil compaction and turf wear from the mower wheels. The grass blades lean the direction of the mower’s path so changing the pattern each time allows the grass to stand more upright,” Domenghini said.

Trees can be severely damaged if bumped by the mower, she warned. Even what appears to be a minor wound can result in death for the tree, so she recommends cultivating the soil surrounding trees to prevent grass and weeds from growing up close to the trunk.

Apply water in the early morning, and wait as long as possible between watering, Domenghini said. Nighttime watering promotes disease development.

“Some signs indicating that the turf needs water include darker bluish-green color, and when footprints remain in the lawn when someone walks across rather than leaf blades bouncing back in place,” Domenghini said. “Soak the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches and wait for signs that more water is needed.”

Fertilize only to maintain a moderately green color during favorable weather and minimally or not at all during times of weather stress, Domenghini said.

Over-fertilizing increases the water and mowing requirements. Domenghini suggests not fertilizing when heavy rain is expected, and never dump excess fertilizer into storm drains or sewers.

The timing of fertilizer applications should be based on turfgrass species:

Dr. Erica Miller of Apple Lane Animal Hospital was on the BW Morning Show on Thursday Morning.&nbsp;&nbsp;

She said that there will be a new veterinarian coming to Apple Lane Animal Hospital in June.&nbsp; Dr. Logan Druker, an Inman native will join the practice following graduation in May.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Dr. Miller said, "He reached out to me and was like, hey, you know, I think I want to come back home. You know, he's got family also in the area and wants to be close to them."

This is a step to help alleviate the shortage of veterinarians in the Hutchinson community.&nbsp; One concern for pet owners is the low number of veterinarians here.&nbsp; If your pet has an emergency and you're not the veterinarian for that particular animal, you may not get seen.&nbsp;

She referenced Dr. John Austin working alone at his clinic and that VCA and South Hutch is down doctors as well.&nbsp; " We just are lacking veterinarians and only hope that all of us can get more help" said Dr. Miller.&nbsp;

Dr. Miller added that there have been times that unfortunately she has had to send clients somewhere else.&nbsp; She added that she is thankful that there are other veterinarians in town that can help out. Because in some places in Kansas you may be the only vet and three isn't another one for another 30 to 45 miles.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Adopt a Furry Friend: Gunner 

Deere and Co. has filed an answer to the Federal Trade Commission’s lawsuit.&nbsp; 

That's the lawsuit that alleged they have a monopoly over its repair services.&nbsp; The lawyers who are defending&nbsp;John&nbsp;Deere in federal court deny the allegations and say that it's nothing more than technological advancements.&nbsp; 

Farmers say that it creates headaches for those who want to fix their own tractors.&nbsp; Deere does offer a different repair tool to customers and independent repair shops.&nbsp; 

The FTC claims that version is inferior to the one available to authorized dealers and is allegedly incapable of doing all repairs on Deere equipment.&nbsp;

McPHERSON, Kan. –&nbsp;McPherson College and the University of Kansas School of Medicine are partnering to promote rural healthcare in Kansas. Over the next 12 months, this collaboration will provide students with experiential, service, and research learning opportunities.

“The collaboration will offer a wide range of opportunities for McPherson College students,” said McPherson College President Michael Schneider. “Building a partnership with the KU School of Medicine expands opportunities for our students statewide and allows us to work with KU School of Medicine admissions on joint recruitment efforts. These initiatives will help better prepare students for careers in rural healthcare.”

Together, McPherson College and KU School of Medicine’s Salina campus will explore partnerships in academic health science scholarships, rural health promotion, healthcare career development, and community health resources, including joint grant funding. The collaboration also aims to establish partnerships with the Health Occupations Students of America organization, develop new service projects, and co-host tabletop simulation events.

McPherson College students will have increased access to KU School of Medicine’s Rural Scholars and Urban Scholars programs, providing guaranteed admissions for qualified undergraduates. Additionally, faculty, staff, and students from KU’s Salina campus will visit McPherson College as guest lecturers in classes and at pre-professional organization activities. The collaboration will also facilitate connections between McPherson College undergraduate researchers and KU School of Medicine students. As part of the collaboration, KU School of Medicine will provide a scholarship for one McPherson College student to participate in mentored student research and team-teaching experiences.

“Rural healthcare is in crisis,” said Dr. Tyler Hughes, dean of the University of Kansas School of Medicine-Salina. “This collaboration is aimed at helping rural students have access to the pathway that leads to a satisfying career in the medical field. Teamwork between KU School of Medicine-Salina and liberal arts colleges in Kansas will aid in building a pipeline of excellent medical professionals for rural patients throughout our state.”&nbsp;

McPherson College’s commitment to healthcare education continues to grow. In addition to its well-established natural science program, the college launched a new Health Science program in 2020, offering academic tracks in clinical, administrative, behavioral, and community health. The college also partnered with the McPherson Center for Health to provide hands-on learning experiences in clinical and non-clinical areas of the hospital. In June 2024, McPherson College received $2.1 million in congressionally directed funding from Senator Jerry Moran to support rural and community health initiatives.

🎧 BW Morning Show Interview: Dr. Erica Miller, Apple Lane Animal Hospital 

UPDATE:&nbsp; Mwmphis has been adopted but the Hutchinson Animal Shelter has more adoptable Furry Friends&nbsp;

She has been in a  foster home since Friday due to her being terrified of life. 

Her foster mom tells us while in their home, she has really opened up and shown her true personality! Memphis loves belly rubs, snuggles, and playing with the other animals. 

Not only that, but in the few days they had her, she has done great with crate training, leash, training, and even learned how to sit and lay down. She is an incredibly smart dog, but will need lots of socialization to ensure that she lives a happy life! 

If you are interested in Memphis please  call the shelter at 620-694-1924 to schedule an appointment! 

Memphis has been spayed, microchipped, given her first puppy vaccines, UTD on Simperica trio (heartworm prevention, flea/tick prevention, and intestinal parasite prevention), dewormed, etc. her adoption fee is $200 or $100 if you are first responder!&nbsp; &nbsp;

The Hutchinson Animal Shelter is located at 1501 South Severance Street. &nbsp;Their hours are Tuesday, Thursday, Friday through Sunday 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Other times are by appointment. &nbsp;You can reach them by phone at 620-694-1924.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;

TOPEKA, Kan. — More than two dozen high school seniors from Buhler, Newton, and Lyons have been honored as 2025 Kansas Career and Technical Education (CTE) Scholars by the Kansas State Department of Education. The recognition was announced at the Kansas State Board of Education meeting on April 8 in Topeka.

The Kansas CTE Scholar program honors outstanding seniors who demonstrate excellence in career and technical education through advanced coursework, community involvement, and technical skill development. Each scholar receives a commemorative pin, certificate, graduation honor cord, and is recognized statewide for their achievements.

Buhler High School (USD 313) – 13 Scholars

These students earned distinction for their work in either Animal Science or Power, Structural and Technical Systems pathways:

Newton High School (USD 373) – 16 Scholars

Newton High School seniors earned honors across a wide range of CTE pathways, including health science, engineering, digital media, and more:

Lyons High School (USD 405) – 1 Scholar

To qualify for the CTE Scholar distinction, students must complete at least three pathway-specific CTE course credits (with two at an advanced level), maintain a 3.5 GPA in those courses, participate in civic engagement or community service, and demonstrate technical skill attainment through certifications, college credit, or work-based learning experiences.

RENO COUNTY, Kan - This Sunday and Monday, April 13th&nbsp;and 14th, 2025. trained volunteers will be out in select neighborhoods across Reno County collecting input from residents through a survey as part of the 2025 Community Health Assessment (CHA).

Conducted every three years, the Community Health Assessment is a collaborative effort to evaluate the overall health and well-being of Reno County residents. The results will help shape health programs and services provided by local health partners, including Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, the Reno County Health Department, Horizons Mental Health Center, and PrairieStar Health Center. These organizations, in collaboration with the Reno County Community Wellness Coalition, rely on CHA data to identify pressing health needs and direct resources effectively.

The data gathered also helps inform the community about the challenges residents face and the ongoing efforts to address them and improve overall well-being in Reno County.

This year’s assessment uses a rapid needs assessment model to collect household-level data. In total, 30 census blocks have been randomly selected, with seven households targeted in each block—yielding 210 total survey responses. Volunteer teams of two will visit assigned addresses to ask residents to complete a short survey and engage in a brief conversation about health in the spaces where they live, learn, work, and play.

As a thank-you for their time and insights, each participating household will receive a $25 gift card to either Dillons or Amazon.

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 northeast corner of West 17th and Halsey Drive.

Around 1960, the Dillons Co. decided to get into the convenience store business.

After building its first Hutchinson Kwik Shop at 507 E. 30th Ave., it built its second Kwik Shop at 1008 W. 17th Ave. in 1965 and Robert Shank was made the manager. The only thing at this location previously was Margaret's Place at 4 Halsey Drive. The first photo shows Kwik Shop with its 32-cent gas pumps, another new idea, right about 1970.

In 1973, the address assignment was changed to 2 Halsey Drive.

In 1980, this location was closed and the Kwik Shop was rebuilt at 1701 N. Monroe St.

In 1992, Bob Lyon purchased the building and remodeled it to become the Lyon Home Center. The second photo shows the home center in its heyday about 1998.

The last business listing for the Lyon Home Center was in 2003, with no business yet to replace it. The third photo shows the building and property today at 2 Halsey Drive, still owned by Jesse Robert Lyon.

Harvey County RSVP receives $75K AmeriCorps Seniors grant

SEDGWICK, Kan. — Two unauthorized individuals gained access to a Sedgwick school building on Tuesday afternoon, prompting a swift response from staff and law enforcement, according to USD 439 Superintendent Dr. Rae Niles.

In a message sent to parents and guardians, Niles said the incident occurred shortly after 1 p.m. when two men entered a school building through a side door. A high school senior working as a student aide initially turned the pair away at the grade school entrance, instructing them to go to the high school’s main entrance. The men then spent nearly an hour wandering school grounds before being let in by a student through a side door.

Once inside, the men ended up in the school courtyard, where Mavis, the district’s therapy dog, alerted staff to their presence. Librarian Leah Gaede spotted the intruders and contacted elementary principal Julie Scott, who escorted them to the high school office before they were removed from the building.

“There could have been a far worse outcome, but it was a frightening situation nonetheless,” Niles wrote.

Authorities later identified the two men, who were located at their home in Park City. Niles said they are not connected to the Sedgwick community and have never attended school there. The district worked with local police to issue trespass orders against both individuals. Photos of the men have been distributed to staff and posted in school offices.

Emergency staff meetings were held Wednesday morning to reinforce security protocols and remind employees of the importance of reporting unauthorized individuals. Students were also briefed on safety practices, including the district’s “See Something, Say Something” policy.

Niles emphasized that the district will be reviewing and strengthening safety procedures in the coming weeks and thanked families for their continued support.

“We know we can always do better,” she said. “Keeping your child safe is our top priority.”

Unauthorized entry at Sedgwick school prompts security response, policy review

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County commissioners have officially declared April 6–12 as Crime Victims’ Rights Week, highlighting the importance of community support and connection in helping survivors heal.

Board chair Don Bogner read the proclamation during Wednesday’s meeting in the Reno County Courthouse, emphasizing the theme of “kinship” as a vital foundation in victim advocacy. He noted that kinship builds bridges to services, fosters resilience, and creates pathways to healing for those affected by crime.

The proclamation reaffirmed the county’s commitment to trauma-informed care, community alliances, and ongoing efforts to strengthen the criminal justice response. It also recognized the dedication of local service providers, advocates, and law enforcement professionals working to support victims year-round.

Following the proclamation, Reno County District Attorney Tom Stanton spoke about the importance of recognizing and protecting the rights of crime victims across the justice system.

“I appreciate very much the board recognizing Victims’ Rights Week,” Stanton said. “In this county, we have striven for years and years to protect victims. We look a lot of times towards victims of the most serious crimes, but my office protects victims from businesses who experience thefts, all the way up to the families of those who are murdered.”

Stanton also acknowledged several members of his staff who were present at the meeting and highlighted their work with victims.

“With me today is my Deputy District Attorney Andy Davidson, and Sarah McReynolds, our victim rights coordinator, who sets up meetings regularly for me and other attorneys in the office with victims so we can discuss their cases and they can have personal input,” he said.

He went on to address the broader challenges victims face in the court system.

“Victims’ rights are often put aside in the court system,” Stanton said. “We have a system that is designed to protect the defendant — and rightfully so, that’s what our Constitution demands of us — but we also have a system that allows victims oftentimes to be underserved or be ridiculed just for being victims. We fight vigorously against that, and we hope the community will support us in our efforts to protect the rights of victims.”

Stanton closed by inviting the public to take part in a local observance of Crime Victims’ Rights Week.

“I would like to invite everyone here, especially the commission and the members of Reno County, to our candlelight lighting service tomorrow at 6:30 at the South Hutchinson Community Center — that’s at 101 W. Ave. C in South Hutch,” he said. “I have been honored by the presence of members of the commission coming to this before and I really appreciate those of you who take time to do that. I think you will be inspired by what you will hear there, and you will see the support that we give victims of crime in this county.”
