HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Fire
Department is teaming up with the <a href="https://www.nfpa.org/">National
Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®)</a>—the
official sponsor of Fire Prevention WeekTM
(FPWTM)
 for
more than 100 years—to promote this year’s FPW campaign, “Smoke
alarms: Make them work for you!TM”
The campaign works to educate everyone about the importance of having
working smoke alarms in the home.

According
to NFPA, smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by more
than half (54 percent). Meanwhile,
roughly three out of five fire deaths happen in homes with either no
smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. 


“Smoke
alarms serve as the first line of defense in a home fire, but they
need to be working in order to protect people,” said
Lorraine Carli, vice president of outreach and advocacy at NFPA.
“This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign helps better educate
the public about simple but critical steps they can take to make sure
their homes have smoke alarms in all the needed locations and that
they’re working properly.”

The
Hutchinson Fire Department encourages all residents to actively support the 2024
FPW theme, “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!” “Working
smoke alarms can make a life-saving difference in a home fire, giving
people the time to get out safely,” said Fire Marshal Mike Cain. “This
year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign is a great way to remind
everyone about these messages and to act on them.”

Hutchinson Fire
Department offers these key smoke alarm safety tips and guidelines:

BUHLER, Kan. — The City of Buhler announced Friday that 4th, 5th and Prairie Park in Buhler will get a slurry seal treatment next week, Oct. 7-11.

Slurry seal is a mixture of liquid asphalt and gravel that is spread over asphalt streets to extend the life of the roadway.&nbsp;

The slurry seal process will not leave loose gravel on the surface. Some areas may be covered with sand to protect the new seal coat.

All cars need to be off the street by 7:30 a.m. Cars not moved will be towed to a nearby street out of the way of the construction work.&nbsp;

Please have all automatic watering devices turned off by Sunday evening. Residents shall avoid throwing grass clippings onto the street prior to beginning work.

The street will be closed during the day. There will be access at all times in case of emergency. If possible, avoid the construction areas.&nbsp;

Parking on adjacent streets is recommended during the daytime. Parking in driveways is recommended only if you do not plan to move the vehicle during daytime hours.

The new seal coat contains oil that can damage the finish on your car or stain surfaces such as concrete, carpet or flooring when tracked from the construction areas.

If you drive or walk through a posted construction area, you are responsible for any damage to your vehicle or property.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. —&nbsp; Medical Provider Resources, a Wichita-based medical credentialing and insurance enrollment company, hired Hutchinson resident Marla Booher as its next CEO.

“We conducted a national search and found the best candidate in Hutchinson,” said Phillip Brownlee, executive director of the Medical Society of Sedgwick County, which owns MPR. “Marla Booher has the experience and skills to lead MPR and help it continue to grow.”

Booher served the past 15 years as director of medical staff services at Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System where she oversaw the credentialing and privileging process of more than 1,500 medical providers.

Booher begins at MPR on Oct. 14 but won’t assume her full duties until the current CEO retires at the end of the year.

“I am beyond excited and honored to be joining the MPR team,” Booher said. “MPR is known as Kansas' leading expert in provider enrollment and credentialing best practices.&nbsp; I look forward to continuing to foster the relationships that Vicki and her team have created while exploring ways to expand the MPR brand, customer base and services provided.”&nbsp;

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 2024 racing season at the Kansas State Fairgrounds will close with some fun on Saturday night. 

"This is a last hurrah on Saturday," said Phil Nightingale with Salt City Racing. "I can't believe the year is over. The year's went so fast. It's been so fun and so exciting with everything we've got going on, but we're going to throw a real twist in it."

It's an open night with three classes racing.

"That's where there's very few rules. Bring what you want," Nightingale said. "We've got a list of four or five rules per class, and so it ought to be fun and exciting to get some other cars out there from that part and just see what happens. So we're going to have the open A mods, B mods, and stock cars."

This should broaden the number of drivers that can come try out the half-mile.

"There's going to be a lot of different drivers, I believe, will be there this weekend," Nightingale said.&nbsp; "You know, we can't accommodate every class throughout the year that's out there in the racing world, so this is a way that we can get every class that's possible around us that race, that they can put their cars on that half mile and go have some fun."

Pit passes are just $35 at&nbsp;<a href="https://saltcityracingllc.com/">https://saltcityracingllc.com/</a>.

So we're going to have the open A mods, B mods, and stock cars."This should broaden the number of drivers that can come try out the half-mile."There's going to be a lot of different drivers, I believe, will be there this weekend," Nightingale said.&nbsp; "You know, we can't accommodate every class throughout the year that's out there in the racing world, so this is a way that we can get every class that's possible around us that race, that they can put their cars on that half mile and go have some fun."Pit passes are just $35 at&nbsp;<a href="https://saltcityracingllc.com/">https://saltcityracingllc.com/</a>.

Season finale at Fairgrounds Saturday night

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The opening reception for the members show at the Hutchinson Art Center is Friday.

"It's so much more than painting," said Barbara Withrow, who serves on the Art Center board. "Our artistic community here in Hutchinson is large and varied. We have a beautiful piece of furniture and we have sculpture we have glass we have of course paintings in all kinds of mediums, but what makes this show exciting and it's always well received by the community is the fact that these are local artists. I continue to be amazed at the talent that is in this community. It's just remarkable."

Friday's event is free, but membership in the Art Association is reasonable, as well.

&nbsp;"Student or military membership is $20," said John Eberly with the Art Center. "Individual membership runs from 30 to 35 dollars and a family and household can get everybody in for 40 bucks."

There will be dozens of works to see, and some of them will be for sale, too.

"The other perks of membership I might add you can all year round sell your work in the consignment gallery in the gift shop," You get 10% off all purchases in the gift shop when you're a member at the Art Center."

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The annual Coats for Kids drive is underway at Ineeda Cleaners. The event began on Tuesday, Oct. 1 and will run through Thursday, Oct. 31.

"Ineeda Cleaners at 13th and Main is our collection spot for people to bring gently used coats, hats, gloves, scarves, blankets, anything that the community can use to help keep people warm and comfortable in those winter months," Rachel Nelson with Ineeda Cleaners said. "Then we clean them and deliver them to Salvation Army for their distribution day."

The Coats for Kids drive was started by former Ineeda Cleaners owner, John Neal.

"John Neal was the owner at the time that the first idea started," Nelson said. "Local radio personality, Dan Deming, collaborated with John and that's how it originally got started."

Nelson and her husband, Chris, took over the ownership of Ineeda Cleaners and elected to keep the annual drive going.

"For Chris and I, we both grew up in Hutchinson and obviously it's wonderful to have the opportunity to use your talent and help people," Nelson said. "So it was an easy decision, of course we wanted to be a part of something that can help the community, but most especially the kids, who need coats when they're outside at school or walking to school, or just being outside and being warm."

Nelson and her team want to beat the Kansas winter by collecting the donations in October.

"We want to be ready for that Kansas winter, you never know when it's going to start," Nelson said. "We don't want to wait until it's a holiday or a Christmas gift or anything like that, we want to get out in front of the weather and make sure everyone is ready to go before we have some crazy blizzard or you never know."&nbsp;

Although Nelson and her team at Ineeda Cleaners do not get to see the children when they're picking up the coats, they do see the joy in people dropping off donations.

"The people who are bringing us donations, they are heartfelt," Nelson said. "When they leave those coats, they put effort into cleaning out their closets and they drop them off and they just have a big smile. They have a generous heart,&nbsp; and they're happy to help us help other people. We're kind of just the middle man of the process, but the community's heart is so big, and I know it brings comfort and joy to the people that are getting those nice coats, or a grandma, or an aunt, or an uncle who's taking care of kids that can get that child a coat and not have to worry about the expense of it. Really, the joy is knowing that we're making a difference, but really those people coming into our store are so happy to help."\

The Salvation Army does the coat distribution in November.

Coats for Kids drive underway for 36th year

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 2024 Ride Like MADD Poker Run presented by Bretz Injury Law is coming up this weekend.

The run will take place in Wichita on Saturday, Oct. 5 with registration starting at 9:30 a.m. at Jay Hatfield Honda Powerhouse, 11212 E Kellogg Drive.

This poker run helps raise funds and awareness for Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) in the effort to stop drunk and drugged driving.

"When MADD was started in 1980, there were about 40,000 Americans who were killed by drunk drivers a year. That number got down to as low as about 10,000 right before COVID," Matt Bretz said. "Since COVID occurred, it's gone up to about 13,000 Americans killed a year by drunk and drugged driving. It's a real issue. And MADD has been at the forefront. I'm on the board of directors on the national board of MADD. We work really on two main areas. One is supporting victims and helping them through the process and survivors, people who have lost family members. The other thing is raising awareness of the dangers of drunk and drugged driving and to put an end to it."

Entry is $25 a hand or $50 for 3 hands with proceeds benefitting MADD of Kansas. Payouts are as follows: 25% for the best hand, 15% for the second best hand, and 10% for the worst hand. Stops include Cycle Gear, Pinkies, Savage Cycles, Freedom Road Cycles, and Twister City Harley-Davidson. A free lunch will be served after the run courtesy of Twister City and the PrairieThunder HOG Chapter. There will be a $5 raffle and plenty of door prizes. Donations are accepted and all vehicles are welcome.

"One of the biggest things we've done recently was passage of the HALT Act that would include technology in new cars that prevents drunk driving estimated to save 10,000 lives a year," Bretz said. "The technology discussed in the HALT Act has been around since 2006. It's on some European cars already. And it's passive technology. The driver sits in the car. It detects whether you're impaired. And if you're impaired, it won't let you start the engine."

This year, the ride is in memory of Ashley Austin, who lost her life to an impaired driver on Dec. 19, 2023. Ashley will be forever remembered as a beloved agriculture education teacher at Canton-Galva High School. Growing up on a farm fostered her passion for agriculture, leading her to start the first FFA program for USD 419. Her dedication to her students will have long-lasting effects on the present and future generations. Ashley is greatly loved and deeply missed by her family, friends, students, and her dog Rowan.

"There are people every weekend here in Hutchinson and across Reno County, there are people every weekend who get arrested for drunk driving, and thank goodness, most people don't kill anyone when they do it, but sometimes they do," Bretz said. "This technology keeps people from having to make the choice. You know, if they if they leave the bar and they've only had a couple and they think that they're fine and their car won't start, you know, then there's no shame in going back inside and saying, you know, it turns out, I guess I've had a little bit more than I thought I did."

If you aren't able to go on Saturday, but you'd still like to give, you can do so <a href="https://secure.madd.org/page/66702/donate/1?_ga=2.214001559.1661553175.1727970548-1283245394.1727970548">online</a>.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Buhler USD 313 Superintendent Cindy Couchman told Hutch Post they are in the middle of updating the district's strategic plan.

"It has been a process," Couchman said. "We started it a couple months ago by putting together a survey and we are using the Kansas Association of School Boards and they are facilitating this process. They come in and they create a survey. They actually distribute the survey. Obviously, we help push it out to our staff and our community and our parents. It was pushed out on social media, sent through email. We gathered a bunch of data. In fact, we had a huge response. We had like 1,100 surveys returned, which is fantastic response in our community."

KASB then makes sure the data is able to be used for further work.

"We've had two focus groups where we had about 45 community members, parents, staff members," Couchman said. "We tried to make sure that we had different various factions represented on that focus group. Then they've spent two evenings in the last few weeks looking at that data, narrowing it down to themes, creating action plans, suggested action plans and suggested measurements. That's where we're at right now."

The final decisions will be at the school board level.

"We will look at it as an administrative group and also as a board of education," Couchman said. "In the end, the board of education will then kind of tweak and refine our final action plan and our themes. Right now, the four themes that they were looking at were student opportunities, operations and resources. That would be everything from budget to, I suppose, facilities would be underneath there, to upkeep, to anything having to do with that. Then we also had culture and community engagement. We'll see whether or not those stay with those four, or if we narrow it down to three."

The intent is once they have direction from the board, an administrator will take the lead on each of the remaining themes.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Former President Donald Trump said on the campaign trail in September that he would put large tariffs on John Deere if they move their jobs to Mexico. Raj Bhala, Brenneisen Distinguished Professor at KU Law, explained some of the potential mechanisms a President could use to accomplish that.

"There are a number of legal levers the president could use," Bhala said. "The first is the president could use section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and say that the agricultural machinery that is being imported into the United States impairs the national security of the United States. We have to have a viable farm sector, and to do that, we have to have excellent domestically made farm equipment to harvest agricultural goods. And we can't be dependent on Chinese or even U.S. companies that are making their equipment overseas. Now, this was, of course, you'll remember, this was exactly the argument made on countries China and Canada on steel and aluminum. Section 232, the national security argument, was what the Trump administration used. Another possibility would be section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to take action against import surges that are causing or threatening to cause serious injury to a U.S. industry, the kind of industry you just mentioned that's occurring in Kansas and in Iowa. If it can be shown that it is imports of agricultural machinery that are the cause of that injury, then section 201 would allow the president to impose tariffs on foreign made equipment. That includes, again, equipment made overseas by a U.S. multinational. Now, we've seen section 201 used during the Trump administration with respect to washing machines and solar equipment. So that's the second mechanism."

There's also Section 301, which says that a foreign government is engaging in an act, policy, or practice that is unfair or discriminatory or unreasonable against the United States, and that is a burden or restriction on U.S. commerce. That is much less likely, due to the differences in the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. as opposed to China. However, there is another avenue a chief executive could take.

"The president could simply, to use the Nike marketing line, he could just do it," Bhala said. "In other words, the president could just simply impose, as President Trump has talked about doing, a tariff of 10% across the board, or 60% on all Chinese goods, or 200% on John Deere equipment made in Mexico. The problem with that, it is probably going to be illegal under both U.S. law and our treaty obligations under the World Trade Organization agreement and under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement or USMCA. I would note that President Nixon, well, he simply imposed a 10% tariff on imports back around 1971, all imports to stem a tide of imports and restore America's balance of payment position as we were coming off the gold standard. And it was quite successful in that time. He took it off after about three months, and there was never really much of a legal challenge that was successful anyway to President Nixon's actions."

Part of that may have been because those actions didn't last very long. More to the point, do tariffs work when they are used?

"I hate to give you the lawyer's answer, but I think the lawyer's answer is the best one, is really it depends," Bhala said. "It depends on a number of factors. It depends, for example, on how high, how stiff the tariff is.&nbsp;A small tariff, you know, 5%, 10%, it may be possible for the producer, exporter overseas and the importer in the United States to absorb the tariffs, particularly if the competitors, the domestic competitors are raising their prices in an, say, an inflationary environment. A 200% of tariffs, no, that can't be absorbed. Another factor on which whether tariffs are effective depends is what economists call the elasticity, the price elasticity, and the elasticity of substitution for the good in question. How easy, for example, is it for consumers of John Deere goods to purchase other farm goods? That goes to the elasticity of substitution. If they have other alternatives, then imposing the tariff is simply going to cause the farmers to shift to other producers of a like farm product."

The problem is that the issue is larger than just one sector of an economy, particularly if retailiatory measures are taken by the other country.

"In other words, does, say, Mexico, if Mexico is where the John Deere equipment is now being made, retaliates against the United States on U.S. exports to Mexico, hitting other sectors? For example, let's talk about exports of wheat or other Kansas or Missouri farm products, farm commodities to Mexico. If Mexico whacks our farmers with tariffs, then we could say that regardless of the efficacy of keeping John Deere jobs in the United States, we've hurt our export-oriented farmers and their incomes. We have seen, of course, tit-for-tat retaliation by China in the trade war with China. We should not expect Mexico would roll over and play dead against U.S. tariffs on products that are being made in Mexico and shipped to the U.S. So we look at the first of the market itself, the ag equipment. Then we look at the broader economic assessment of how other products have been affected. And then third, what do tariffs do to our overall status as the world leader in advancing free markets?"

These are all open questions as Americans get ready to go to the polls in November. Not that trade policy alone will get someone to vote one way or the other, but it is a component of the United States place in the world, which should be a concern when choosing who to support.

Below is the full podcast interview with Bhala.

 </figure>NICK GOSNELL Hutch PostHUTCHINSON, Kan. — Former President Donald Trump said on the campaign trail in September that he would put large tariffs on John Deere if they move their jobs to Mexico. Raj Bhala, Brenneisen Distinguished Professor at KU Law, explained some of the potential mechanisms a President could use to accomplish that."There are a number of legal levers the president could use," Bhala said. "The first is the president could use section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 and say that the agricultural machinery that is being imported into the United States impairs the national security of the United States. We have to have a viable farm sector, and to do that, we have to have excellent domestically made farm equipment to harvest agricultural goods. And we can't be dependent on Chinese or even U.S. companies that are making their equipment overseas. Now, this was, of course, you'll remember, this was exactly the argument made on countries China and Canada on steel and aluminum. Section 232, the national security argument, was what the Trump administration used. Another possibility would be section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the president to take action against import surges that are causing or threatening to cause serious injury to a U.S. industry, the kind of industry you just mentioned that's occurring in Kansas and in Iowa. If it can be shown that it is imports of agricultural machinery that are the cause of that injury, then section 201 would allow the president to impose tariffs on foreign made equipment. That includes, again, equipment made overseas by a U.S. multinational. Now, we've seen section 201 used during the Trump administration with respect to washing machines and solar equipment. So that's the second mechanism."There's also Section 301, which says that a foreign government is engaging in an act, policy, or practice that is unfair or discriminatory or unreasonable against the United States, and that is a burden or restriction on U.S. commerce. That is much less likely, due to the differences in the relationship between Mexico and the U.S. as opposed to China. However, there is another avenue a chief executive could take."The president could simply, to use the Nike marketing line, he could just do it," Bhala said. "In other words, the president could just simply impose, as President Trump has talked about doing, a tariff of 10% across the board, or 60% on all Chinese goods, or 200% on John Deere equipment made in Mexico. The problem with that, it is probably going to be illegal under both U.S. law and our treaty obligations under the World Trade Organization agreement and under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement or USMCA. I would note that President Nixon, well, he simply imposed a 10% tariff on imports back around 1971, all imports to stem a tide of imports and restore America's balance of payment position as we were coming off the gold standard. And it was quite successful in that time. He took it off after about three months, and there was never really much of a legal challenge that was successful anyway to President Nixon's actions."Part of that may have been because those actions didn't last very long. More to the point, do tariffs work when they are used?"I hate to give you the lawyer's answer, but I think the lawyer's answer is the best one, is really it depends," Bhala said. "It depends on a number of factors. It depends, for example, on how high, how stiff the tariff is.&nbsp;A small tariff, you know, 5%, 10%, it may be possible for the producer, exporter overseas and the importer in the United States to absorb the tariffs, particularly if the competitors, the domestic competitors are raising their prices in an, say, an inflationary environment. A 200% of tariffs, no, that can't be absorbed. Another factor on which whether tariffs are effective depends is what economists call the elasticity, the price elasticity, and the elasticity of substitution for the good in question. How easy, for example, is it for consumers of John Deere goods to purchase other farm goods? That goes to the elasticity of substitution. If they have other alternatives, then imposing the tariff is simply going to cause the farmers to shift to other producers of a like farm product."The problem is that the issue is larger than just one sector of an economy, particularly if retailiatory measures are taken by the other country."In other words, does, say, Mexico, if Mexico is where the John Deere equipment is now being made, retaliates against the United States on U.S. exports to Mexico, hitting other sectors? For example, let's talk about exports of wheat or other Kansas or Missouri farm products, farm commodities to Mexico. If Mexico whacks our farmers with tariffs, then we could say that regardless of the efficacy of keeping John Deere jobs in the United States, we've hurt our export-oriented farmers and their incomes. We have seen, of course, tit-for-tat retaliation by China in the trade war with China. We should not expect Mexico would roll over and play dead against U.S. tariffs on products that are being made in Mexico and shipped to the U.S. So we look at the first of the market itself, the ag equipment. Then we look at the broader economic assessment of how other products have been affected. And then third, what do tariffs do to our overall status as the world leader in advancing free markets?"These are all open questions as Americans get ready to go to the polls in November. Not that trade policy alone will get someone to vote one way or the other, but it is a component of the United States place in the world, which should be a concern when choosing who to support.Below is the full podcast interview with Bhala.<div><iframe title="Raj Bhala, Brenneisen Distinguished Professor at KU Law" allowtransparency="true" height="150" width="100%" style="border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);height:150px;" scrolling="no" data-name="pb-iframe-player" src="https://www.podbean.com/player-v2/?i=ukyc7-16f221b-pb&from=pb6admin&share=1&download=1&rtl=0&fonts=Arial&skin=60a0c8&font-color=&logo_link=episode_page&btn-skin=ff6d00" loading="lazy"></iframe></div>
