 Stage 9 is set to launch audiences on an emotional and imaginative journey with its summer production of Ride the Cyclone, opening July 31 and running through Aug. 3.

Directed by Theresa Teufel, who also serves as president of the Stage 9 Board, the quirky, off-Broadway musical tells the story of six high school choir students who perish in a tragic rollercoaster accident. The twist? They find themselves in limbo, where a fortune-telling machine named Karnak offers one of them the chance to return to life — if they can prove they deserve it most.

“It’s a really unique, heartfelt show,” said Teufel. “Each student shares their personal story and identity, and through that, we see humor, heartbreak, and self-discovery.”

Rehearsals began in early June, and the cast has poured two months of dedication into the production. Among the performers are Mason Lockhart and Leland Britton, both of whom bring passion and personality to their roles.

Lockhart, a recent graduate of Sterling High School, joined the cast just over a week ago in the role of Misha Bachinski, a Ukrainian orphan with a surprising backstory. Despite the short prep time, Teufel said Lockhart has “already wowed us beyond belief.”

“I’ve mostly played angry old men in past shows,” Lockhart joked. “This character is loud, animated, and full of energy. I had to learn a Ukrainian accent, step up my physical acting, and let loose onstage.”

Britton, also from Sterling, plays Ricky Potts — a quiet teen with a wildly vivid imagination. He said the role gives him the chance to “let out all of my internal mind and imagination and go wild.”

Both actors were encouraged to audition by friends already involved in the production, including castmate Catherine Vesey.

Stage 9’s creative team includes Teufel’s daughter Mallory Teufel as stage manager, Jo Stropes on set and costumes, Cassidy Ghere on lighting, Deavin Casato on sound, and local theater veteran Deshona Mahoney as music director. Choreography is by Prairie Hills Middle School teacher Katelyn Stoss.

Teufel praised the cast's commitment: “They’ve rehearsed outside of scheduled practices and brought incredible energy to every rehearsal. Their tenacity and chemistry are just amazing.”

Ride the Cyclone will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on July 31, August 1, and August 2, with a 3 p.m. matinee on August 3. Tickets are available now at <a>Stage9Hutch.com</a>, and advance purchase is recommended.

“This is a show that really resonates with younger audiences, but it’s moving and funny for all ages,” Teufel said. “If you’ve never seen Ride the Cyclone, now’s your chance.”

Nickerson's Klear Nearly Days kicks off Friday 

A major civil rights milestone will be celebrated Friday as Beyond Barriers and the Hutchinson Human Relations Commission host a community-wide event marking the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).&nbsp;

The celebration takes place from 3 to 8 p.m. at Avenue A Park, where Washington Street between A and B avenues will be closed for the festivities. The event will feature free hot dogs, water, and chips, along with a dunk tank, adaptive sports demonstrations, and disability simulations that allow attendees to experience challenges faced by people with disabilities.&nbsp;

“We’re taking over Avenue A Park for a celebration that’s as educational as it is fun,” said Anthony Frischenmeyer of Beyond Barriers. “The ADA changed everything—from curb cuts to public access—and we want to honor the progress made and highlight where we still need to go.”&nbsp;

Signed into law on July 26, 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including employment, transportation, and access to public spaces and services.&nbsp;

“It’s a civil rights act that gave people with disabilities a chance to live independently and participate fully in their communities,” Frischenmeyer said. “Before the ADA, people faced enormous barriers just getting to school or accessing buildings.”&nbsp;

As part of the celebration, Beyond Barriers launched the “$35 for 35” campaign—a fundraiser seeking 100 donations of $35 each, with a goal of raising $3,500 by August 1. Donations can be made online through Beyond Barriers’ Facebook page.&nbsp;

Beyond Barriers is an Independent Living Center serving Kansans with disabilities across the lifespan. The organization offers employment support, housing resources, advocacy services, and referrals—helping people stay independent without requiring proof of disability.&nbsp;

Frischenmeyer, who leads employment efforts at Beyond Barriers, said building relationships with local employers is a key part of their mission. “We help connect people with disabilities to jobs—and help employers understand the power of reasonable accommodations,” he said. “Some of the most loyal and hardworking employees you’ll ever meet are folks who’ve just needed someone to give them a chance.”&nbsp;

Friday’s event will include booths from partner organizations and a live community podcast recording by Jason Probst, inviting guests to share what the ADA means to them.&nbsp;

Frischenmeyer said while much progress has been made, accessibility is still an ongoing challenge. “We’ve come a long way—but sidewalks still aren’t always safe or smooth, and we have to keep pushing for true inclusion,” he said. “This celebration is about acknowledging what’s been done and recommitting to the work ahead.”&nbsp;

ADA anniversary event set for Friday in Hutchinson

The Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) has announced that all public school districts and many private schools across the state will participate in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs for the 2025-2026 academic year.

These federal programs provide free or reduced-price meals to eligible students, helping ensure that Kansas children receive nutritious meals during the school day regardless of family income.

Households may apply for benefits at any time during the school year. Application forms and information letters are available through each school district or private school, and additional copies can be obtained from the principal’s office. For applications to be approved, they must include all required eligibility information as outlined in the application instructions.

Children from households that receive Food Assistance, Temporary Assistance for Families (TAF), or benefits through the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) are automatically eligible for free meals. These households will be notified by their school unless they choose to decline benefits. If a household does not receive a notification, they should submit an application with the required case number and an adult signature.

Children participating in the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program or receiving certain Medicaid benefits may also qualify. Notifications will be sent to households approved under Medicaid guidelines.

Other eligible groups include children in the Head Start Program, the Migrant Education Program, or those identified as homeless or runaway by the district’s liaison. Foster children under state or court custody also automatically qualify for free meals, although eligibility does not extend to other household members unless a complete application is submitted listing all residents.

For families not participating in assistance programs, eligibility is determined based on income and household size. Applications must include all household members, current income, sources of income, and the last four digits of the Social Security number of the adult who signs the application (or a statement if no SSN is available).

All applications are reviewed by a designated school official. Parents who disagree with the eligibility determination may appeal the decision informally or request a formal hearing. Contact your local school district or private school for hearing information.

Households are encouraged to report changes in employment or household size, which may affect eligibility during the year.

For more information, contact your local school district or visit the Kansas State Department of Education website.

With the poor ag economy, how are rural banks doing?&nbsp; 

A study by the American Bankers Association says farm banks reported stable financial performance.&nbsp; That's despite a big increase in lending to farmers and ranchers.&nbsp; 

Ed Elfmann, Senior Vice President of American Bankers Association says that rural farm banks, like ours, continue to be strong and resilient because of deep community roots and a commitment to farmers and ranchers.

Ag Minute: Rural banks 

Educators from across Reno County will come together once again for “All Hands on Deck,” a countywide professional development event set for Jan. 5, 2026, on the Hutchinson Community College campus.

The one-day event will host more than 1,100 educators representing every public school district in the county, as well as private schools such as Central Christian and educational institutions like HutchCC and RCEC. The event features a full schedule of keynote presentations, breakout workshops, and networking opportunities designed to strengthen instruction and collaboration across the region.

“This is really an all-inclusive event for anyone involved in education in Reno County,” said Paul Erickson, Director of Curriculum and Instruction for grades 6–12 at Buhler USD 313 and a lead organizer for the event. “It’s a massive undertaking, but the results have been well worth it.”

Originally launched in 2024, the event received overwhelmingly positive feedback, prompting organizers to bring it back after a one-year break. “It takes more than a year to plan an event of this scale,” Erickson noted. “With HCC offering their entire campus and school districts dedicating a professional development day, it’s a huge team effort.”

Keynote speaker Kim Bearden from the renowned Ron Clark Academy will headline the 2026 event. Bearden, co-founder and author of The Essential 55, will also lead breakout sessions throughout the day.

While outside experts like Bearden are invited to share their expertise, the majority of the workshops will be led by local educators. Topics will include balanced assessment, high-level instruction, early literacy strategies, and specialized training for coaches, including strength and conditioning sessions.

In addition to professional development, the event includes a vendor showcase during the extended lunch hour from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Businesses are invited to sign up and present their products and services directly to the region’s educators. Erickson said vendor participation helps keep the event affordable for schools and provides valuable exposure.

“Last time, we had about 30 vendors, and the feedback was phenomenal,” he said. “We’re hoping to fill those spots again. Vendors get direct access to over a thousand education professionals in one place.”

Businesses interested in participating can find the vendor registration form through local school district social media pages or by contacting Erickson directly at <a>perickson@usd313.org</a>.

“All Hands on Deck” will run from morning to 3 p.m. on January 5, with raffle prizes and closing remarks to wrap up the day. Organizers hope for the same mild weather they enjoyed in 2024 — but rain or shine, they’re ready to go.

“It’s a great time to be an educator in Reno County,” Erickson said. “We’re excited to bring everyone together again for a powerful day of learning, growth, and connection.”

"All Hands on Deck" to return in 2026

With temperatures soaring across the region, local organizations are stepping up to protect some of the city’s most vulnerable residents. “Beat the Heat 2025” is set for Wednesday, July 23, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Salvation Army, 700 N. Walnut.

The free event is designed to support Hutchinson’s unhoused community with essential services and supplies to stay safe during extreme summer heat. Offerings include showers from 9 to 11 a.m., a free lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and take-home items such as water, supply packs, first aid kits, and hygiene products.

In addition, the event will feature on-site haircuts, STI and STD testing, and access to free Naloxone and fentanyl test strips—tools that can help prevent fatal overdoses.

Organized by Unhoused Conversation and a coalition of local partners, “Beat the Heat 2025” aims to foster care, connection, and safety at a time when heat-related illnesses pose a serious risk to those without shelter.

Organizers say the event is about more than just supplies—it’s about dignity, compassion, and ensuring no one is left behind in the summer heat.

KIM BALDWIN McPherson County farmer and rancher

The&nbsp;heat of the summer has officially moved in and with that the day-to-day summer routines become fairly predictable.&nbsp;For my husband, that means waking up before the summer sun rises to begin the daily irrigation chores and coming home well past dark after completing the evening irrigation duties.&nbsp;The irrigation responsibilities bookmark every day until it’s time to shut off the systems and allow the corn and soybeans to begin to dry down for harvest. It’s an everyday event for the rest of summer unless it rains enough to allow for a small reprieve from the daily watering tasks.

The spring and early summer presented us with many challenges this year. Abundant rains – while needed and appreciated – delayed our planting schedule or created situations requiring fields to be replanted. Because of the extended periods of rain we received in June, our wheat harvest and all additional work requiring heavy machines in fields was noticeably delayed. When the wheat harvest began, stories of trucks or combines getting stuck in the mud was a repeated thread heard over and over.&nbsp;The usual cadence associated with wheat harvest was never achieved. There was never a hard push to get the grain out of the fields before the summer storms rolled in. Rarely did we experience the flow of finishing a field and knowing exactly which ripened field of wheat we’d move into next and work in late into the night. This year the wheat was dry and ready for harvest, but the ground was not.

The buzzing of crop dusters also increased during this time as many farmers in our area navigated needed management practices by keeping their spray rigs out of the soggy fields and relying on outsourcing applications from the sky.&nbsp;The clock has also been ticking on getting any additional fall crops planted in the fields the wheat has come out of. Fields that farmers had preliminarily identified as potential double-crop acres may not see those crops later this fall.

Needless to say, it’s been an interesting summer.

A couple of Sundays ago, a member of our church family approached me before the service to check on us and to let me know that she was praying for the farmers. She recognized the challenges faced during this season and commented she didn’t know how we did what we did.

I told her farming isn’t for everyone, and then referenced a prayer attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr I was introduced to many, many, many years ago that I rely on still to this day to help me navigate challenges and draw strength from.

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."&nbsp;And so we go.&nbsp;One day at a time this summer.&nbsp;Doing what we can and accepting what we can’t.&nbsp;It is my hope that we may all experience that serenity.

McPHERSON COUNTY — The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) is launching a new study on a 36-mile stretch of U.S. Highway 56 in McPherson and Marion counties to explore options for improving safety and traffic flow.

The study will focus on the potential addition of paved shoulders and identifying key locations for new passing lanes. KDOT will also examine ways to enhance overall corridor safety, including access point consolidation and intersection upgrades.

According to KDOT, the passing lanes component was ranked as a top priority for District 2 during the 2023 Local Consult process—a series of regional meetings that help shape future transportation projects across the state.

The U.S. 56 corridor serves as a vital east-west route through central Kansas, supporting local communities, agriculture, and industry. KDOT officials say the study is an important step in developing project designs that meet long-term needs for safety and capacity.

Findings from the study will guide future construction and funding decisions, though no specific timeline has been announced for implementation.

After a 32-year hiatus, the Sky Ryders Drum &amp; Bugle Corps are back — and they’re already making waves on the national stage. Under the direction of Dale Antione, the corps completed its 2025 summer tour with standout performances in Iowa and Illinois and received top rankings in their competitive division.

The Sky Ryders launched their summer training camp, or “spring training,” in Hutchinson on June 30. Over the next two weeks, members — many experiencing their first taste of drum corps intensity — trained up to 10 hours a day in the Kansas heat, honing their music and marching skills at Hutchinson High School and Hutchinson Community College’s Gowans Stadium.

Their hard work culminated in a well-attended dress rehearsal performance on July 7, which drew a crowd of 300 to 400 people. “The support we received from the Hutchinson community was incredible,” said Antione. “From local schools to community volunteers like Cleta Long, who helped with uniforms, everyone pitched in to make this a success.”

The Sky Ryders made a memorable appearance in Hutchinson’s Eagle Media Patriots Parade, which Antione called the largest crowd he’s seen in years. “The energy and reception were just phenomenal,” he said. “People were excited — and a little surprised — to see us back.”

The corps embarked on its short summer tour July 8, performing in Ankeny, Iowa, and Lyle, Illinois, while a scheduled show in Dubuque was canceled due to severe weather. Despite being a new corps in the SoundSport division, the Sky Ryders delivered high-scoring performances, earning the top score in their category at both competitions.

“The kids really stepped it up,” Antione said. “They were rewarded not just with strong scores, but with praise from the judges and standing ovations from the crowd.”

Auditions for the 2026 season will begin in December, with in-person and video options available. Students from freshman year of high school through college are eligible to try out.

Looking ahead, Antione said the organization hopes to expand next summer’s training to three weeks and extend the tour. The Sky Ryders will consider petitioning for evaluation to move into DCI’s Open Class for 2027, with an eventual goal of returning to World Class competition.

And there may be more excitement on the horizon for Hutchinson, Antione hopes that the city could host a DCI show again in 2026.

“It’s been an encouraging start,” Antione said. “We’re back. And we’re only getting better.”

Ford is recalling more than 694,000 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles because the fuel injector may crack and leak, which may cause a fire.

If fuel leaks inside the engine compartment and there's a hot engine or exhaust components, it could increase the risk of a fire.

The recall impacts certain 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2020-2022 Escape vehicles equipped with 1.5L engines.

Ford has been looking into the fuel injector issue since 2022, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The company's field review committee approved recalls in November 2022, March 2024 and March 2025, during which it performed software updates.

Ford has continued to investigate the issue. As part of the ongoing process, the automaker looked at corrosion as a contributing factor to fuel injector cracks between April and May 2025.

Ford identified injector cracking on eight vehicles that experienced underhood fires. Six of the vehicles didn't have updated engine control software. The automaker isn't aware of any injuries related to the fires.

Earlier this month Ford's field review committee decided to issue a recall for certain vehicles to update their engine control software for free until a final remedy is available.

A letter notifying vehicle owners of the safety risk is expected to be mailed on Aug. 18. A second letter will be sent once the final remedy is available. Vehicle owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 25S76.
