HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Monarchs leaned on timely hitting and dominant pitching to shut out the Kansas Cannons 2-0 on Wednesday night at Hobart-Detter Field.

Blake Bradford gave the Monarchs the early edge in the bottom of the second, launching a solo home run to center field for a 1-0 lead. Hutchinson added insurance in the eighth when Jarrett Herrmann scored on a hard hit ground-ball single to second by Drew Bugner.

Monarchs starter Lachlan Rosser went two innings and picked up the win, while Brayden McClure anchored the bullpen with four shutout innings and five strikeouts. Cason Gonzalez also contributed in middle relief to keep the Cannons off the board.

Mitchell Johnson slammed the door in the ninth, striking out the side to earn the save and seal the shutout.

Cannons pitcher Blake Seefeldt took the loss, despite a solid outing, as Kansas struggled to generate offense throughout the night.

With the win, the Monarchs improved their early-season form, backed by a deep bullpen and clutch performances at the plate.

Both two teams match up Friday night in Augusta. Hutchinson (4-0), Kansas Cannons (5-1).

⚾ Hutchinson Monarchs blank Cannons 2-0 behind strong relief effort

A recent stretch of widespread rainfall and cooler-than-normal temperatures has brought significant drought relief to large portions of the Central and Northern Great Plains, according to the latest drought monitor update.

Between May 20 and June 2, much of Kansas, Nebraska, and northeastern Colorado received between 2 and 4 inches of precipitation, with some areas recording even higher totals. This influx of moisture, coupled with unseasonably cool temperatures during the latter half of May, contributed to notable improvements in drought conditions.

As of June 2 the southern half of Kansas from Pratt County east to the Missouri state line is now officially drought-free.

Elsewhere, more than half an inch of rain fell across southern Colorado earlier this week, prompting a one-category improvement on the U.S. Drought Monitor. Southeastern Wyoming also saw the removal of severe to extreme drought designations, thanks to recent rainfall, long-term precipitation indices (SPI) over 6 to 12 months, and updated drought assessments from the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC).

Meteorologists say ongoing monitoring and additional rainfall over the coming weeks will determine whether these trends continue into the summer growing season.

Here are the rainfall totals for selected locations in the area:&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; • Hutchinson - 2.56" &nbsp; • Newton - 3.27"&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; • Wichita - 3.02" &nbsp; • Kingman - 2.41" &nbsp; • Pratt - 2.24"&nbsp; &nbsp; • McPherson - 1.95"&nbsp; &nbsp; • Wichita - 3.02"

Rainfall totals are for the period ending at 7 a.m. Tuesday morning.&nbsp;

Rain, cooler temps bring drought relief

Health officials across Kansas are sounding the alarm as measles cases begin to spread further into central parts of the state, including Reno and Pawnee counties. The resurgence is being attributed to declining immunization rates, with experts warning that the highly contagious virus could quickly gain ground if action isn't taken.&nbsp;

According to local physicians and public health professionals, the state’s immunization rate for measles has dropped from 95%—the threshold for herd immunity—to around 92% in recent years. The dip in vaccinations is partially tied to lingering skepticism fueled by misinformation dating back to a now-debunked 1998 study that falsely linked the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine to autism.&nbsp;

“We’ve been dealing with concerns about vaccines for over two decades,” said Dr. Ellen Losew, a local pediatrician. “That 1998 study was fraudulent, but it did lasting damage. We’re still trying to undo that harm.”&nbsp;

In Pawnee County, health officials noted a sharp jump in measles cases—reportedly increasing from one to seven in a matter of days. Experts say this rapid spread is not surprising given the virus’s extreme communicability.&nbsp;

Measles is the most contagious virus we know of, said a Hutchinson-based clinician. “It can linger in the air for up to two hours after an infected person leaves a room.”&nbsp;

The latest outbreak is believed to be moving north from Texas and Oklahoma. The southwest region of Kansas, including Dodge City and other surrounding areas, has seen clusters of cases. As summer begins and families travel within the state, officials emphasize that local travel—not just cross-country trips—poses a risk of exposure.&nbsp;

Measles symptoms typically begin with high fever, cough, conjunctivitis (red, watery eyes), and coryza (runny nose)—often referred to as the “three C’s.” A telltale rash usually follows a few days later. The illness can lead to serious complications, particularly in young children and immunocompromised individuals.&nbsp;

“Many parents today have never seen how dangerous measles can be, and that’s the problem,” Dr. Losew said. “Vaccines have worked so well that people forget why we need them.”&nbsp;

Health professionals also emphasized that measles can infect anyone who is not vaccinated or has a weakened immune system due to conditions like cancer. With children out of school for summer, officials encourage parents to stay vigilant and watch for early symptoms—especially if their child has been in group settings.&nbsp;

“We want to reassure parents that their concerns are valid,” one provider said. “But vaccines are safe, and they’re essential. If you’re planning any travel—even within Kansas—now is the time to make sure your family is protected.”&nbsp;

Measles vaccination typically begins at 12 months of age, but in the event of an outbreak or travel to high-risk areas, doctors may recommend vaccinating earlier. Health officials say immunity generally begins to build about two weeks after receiving the vaccine.&nbsp;

For more information on measles and immunization, residents are encouraged to contact their local health department or pediatrician. &nbsp;

Thousands of athletes, coaches, families, and fans from across the state will converge on Maize High School June 7-9 for the 2025 Special Olympics Kansas Summer Games — a three-day celebration of sports, health, and inclusion.

Local Special Olympic teams from Buhler, Nickerson, and Hutchinson will participate&nbsp; including athletes from the Hutch Hawks, the Eagles and the All-stars of Hutchinson.&nbsp; &nbsp;

Athletes will compete in state-level championships across several sports, including track and field, soccer, bocce, and tennis. The event not only highlights athletic achievement but also the Special Olympics mission to support the whole athlete, on and off the field.

“This is the largest competition of the year, but it's more than that,” said John Lair, President and CEO of Special Olympics Kansas. “With our expanded Healthy Athletes offerings and community events like Young Athletes Fest, we are building stronger athletes and a stronger future for individuals with intellectual disabilities.”

In addition to the competitions, registered athletes will receive free health screenings through the organization’s Healthy Athletes program, which provides preventative care and education. Services will include Special Smiles (dental), Opening Eyes (vision), Fit Feet (podiatry), and Healthy Hearing (audiology), all aimed at helping athletes perform at their best.

The Games will also host the Final Leg of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, where officers and athletes will carry the Flame of Hope into Opening Ceremonies. The Torch Run, a longstanding tradition, symbolizes inclusion and respect, and serves as the largest grassroots fundraising and public awareness effort for Special Olympics Kansas.

Another major feature of the weekend is the Young Athletes Fest, set for Sunday, June 8, from 10 a.m. to noon. Designed for children ages 2 to 7, both with and without intellectual disabilities, the free event promotes motor skills and confidence through interactive play. The Fest includes a Young Athletes Fun Run, letting families take part in the spirit of the Games.

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 East Sherman on the south side.

Before automobiles arrived in Hutchinson, this block of businesses was all liveries or blacksmiths. The building at 109-111 E. Sherman St. was built in 1900 as the Hoopes &amp; Hickman Blacksmith Shop.

In 1904, it was the W.B. Hickman &amp; Co. Blacksmiths and, in 1909, it was the Hains &amp; Martin Blacksmiths.

By 1910, this block became motor row for Hutch.

In 1913, 109 E. Sherman St. was the Hutchinson Motor Car Co. owned by Elmer Asby and Albert Kirk. The first photo shows that business in 1915.

The location had a few other businesses in it from 1918 to 1932, like Chalmers Motor Sales, Adams Installment Goods and American Gear Co.

In 1932, Richard Welborn and Albert Rose opened Welborn &amp; Rose Auto Parts &amp; Machinists. Later, Welborn decided to go it alone at another location. The second photo shows the Rose family out front around 1950.

Many family members have been part of this business, including Albert Jr. being president from 1966 to 1990. The third photo shows Rose Motor Supply still at 109-111 E. Sherman St. today, with Keith Rose president of this long-standing family business.

<a href="mailto:sean.boston@eaglemedia.com">SEAN BOSTON</a> Hutch Post

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Construction Rental Inc. held a ribbon cutting and grand opening Wednesday morning for its newest location at 1402 Faubion St. in Hutchinson, marking the company’s fifth store overall and second in Kansas.

The event included lunch, refreshments and giveaways for attendees. The store is now open to the public Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Owner/President Marynell Popst said the company offers a wide range of construction equipment rentals and tool sales, serving both professional contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners.

“We rent construction equipment and sell construction tools and supplies, anything from safety equipment for contractors, like harnesses for fall protection and caution tape, to chainsaws and trimmers for the homeowner doing yard work,” Popst said.

Construction Rental Inc. also offers a weekend rental option that allows customers to pick up equipment after 3 p.m. on Friday and return it Monday for the price of a one-day rental.

Available services at the Hutchinson location include rentals for air compressors, air tools, backhoes and loaders, compactors and rammers, concrete tools, convention equipment, electric tools, forklifts, generators, heaters, jacks, lawn and garden equipment, lifts and scaffolding, saws, skid steers and trenchers.

Popst said Hutchinson was an ideal fit for the company’s expansion.

“We looked around at different locations, and Hutchinson was a good market with a lot of activity, a lot of contractors and a lot of homeowners who do their own projects,” she said. “We liked the size of the market and really knew it was a good fit for our personality.”

Construction Rental Inc. also operates locations in Salina, Kansas; Grand Island and North Platte, Nebraska; and St. Joseph, Missouri.

BELOIT, Kan. — Several Hutch Post-area student-athletes and coaches will be featured in the annual Eight-Man All-Star Football Games, set for Saturday at Trojan Football Stadium in Beloit.

The Kansas Eight-Man Football Association sponsors the event, which honors the top players from across the state in two showcase matchups. The Division II game will begin at 10 a.m., followed by the Division I contest at 1:30 p.m.

Among the local representatives, Central Christian School will be well-represented in Division II. Seniors Ry Kooiman and Keaton Miller were selected to the West squad, while Cougars head coach Matt Barnett will serve as an assistant coach. 

Fairfield High School also placed two players on the West roster in Connor Fowler and Garrett Lanning. Fairfield head coach Kyle Finder was also tabbed as an assistant.

In Division I, Little River’s Kyler Bergkamp and Logan Renken will play for the East team.&nbsp;

The Eight-Man All-Star Game tradition began in 1986 after a group of north central Kansas coaches came together to give recognition to athletes from the state’s smallest schools, many of whom were regularly overlooked for the Kansas Shrine Bowl. With support from similar associations in Nebraska and Oklahoma, the Kansas Eight-Man Football Association (KEMFA) was formed, and the first all-star game was played that summer.

The city of Beloit has served as the game’s permanent host site, with the annual event highlighting the excellence and legacy of eight-man football in Kansas.

Players reported to camp earlier this week to begin preparations.

A flurry of last-minute candidate filings ahead of the June 2 noon deadline has finalized the list of local races for Reno County’s 2025 election cycle — but no race drew enough candidates to require a primary.

The transition will see more than 20 locations in those states transferred to new owners. 

Yesway has four locations in Hutchinson, one in Lyons and one in McPherson  

The report says that the strategic pullback comes as the company intensifies its focus on expansion in southern U.S. markets, particularly Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Yesway announced earlier that it plans to “significantly” grow its footprint in these states in 2024 and beyond. In December, it added three new stores in Texas and two in New Mexico. 

With more than 400 locations under its Yesway and Allsup’s banners, the company currently operates in nine states: Texas, New Mexico, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Wyoming, Oklahoma and Nebraska. 

In a statement provided to CSP Daily News, a Yesway spokesperson said, “As we continue to grow the Yesway brand and expand our offering to our customers, we may have the opportunity to divest certain stores that do not match our strategy and reinvest the proceeds in locations that enable us to provide a better customer experience. We plan to continue our growth and are focused on building the best network of store locations to meet the needs of our valued customers. As these stores in Iowa and Kansas transition to new owners by the end of this year, we do not anticipate there will be closures.” 

Founded in 2015 and owned by BW Gas &amp; Convenience Holdings LLC, Yesway has steadily evolved into a major player in the convenience retail sector. Its acquisition of the Allsup’s chain in 2019 marked a pivotal moment in its growth trajectory. The company further centralized its operations in August 2020 by relocating its Des Moines, Iowa, and Clovis, New Mexico, corporate offices to new headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas. 

The decision to scale back in Iowa and Kansas reflects Yesway’s broader strategy to consolidate operations and invest in markets with higher growth potential. The identity of the new owners for the Iowa and Kansas stores has not yet been disclosed.

Yesway to sell Kansas locations

HUTCHINSON, Kan. - The Hutchinson City Council will meet as scheduled at 5:30 p.m. Monday at City Hall to consider a range of issues, including playground upgrades, street maintenance, and state fair support funding.

The council will consider approving a $75,000 project to purchase and install new playground equipment at Shadduck Park. The proposed upgrades would be completed by Greenfields Outdoor Fitness in partnership with the Hutchinson Boys and Girls Club.

An update regarding the property at 3405 E. 4th Ave. has been removed from the agenda and will be heard at the June 17 meeting at the request of the applicant.

Also on the agenda is the acceptance of a $1.1 million bid from APAC–Kansas for the city’s 2025 arterial street maintenance project. If approved, the motion would authorize the mayor to sign the contract.

The council will also vote on whether to support funding for the Kansas State Fair Emergency Operations Command Center.
