&nbsp;The Hutchinson YMCA has received a major boost for its new facility, thanks to a generous donation from Lowen Corporation. The contribution will help advance the development of the 75,000-square-foot branch currently under construction, which promises to bring expanded programs and improved facilities to the community.

David Foster, Executive Director of the Hutchinson YMCA, said the donation marks a significant milestone in the project’s fundraising efforts.
“The donation from Lowen Corporation is a tremendous help in meeting our fundraising goals,” Foster said. “We are grateful for their support which will play a crucial role in ensuring the successful completion of this much-needed facility.”

Lowen Corporation President Tracy Metzger emphasized the company’s longstanding connection to the YMCA and its broader mission of community wellness.
“On behalf of Lowen Corporation, our employees and the Lowen family, we are proud to support the Hutchinson YMCA and its mission to enhance community wellness,” Metzger said. “This donation reflects our company’s commitment to fostering positive change and providing resources that empower families and individuals in our community.”

Metzger added that Lowen has a history of supporting YMCA initiatives, with many of the company’s employees also YMCA members. As part of its wellness initiatives, Lowen provides employees with discounted YMCA memberships to encourage healthy lifestyles at work and at home.

The new Hutchinson YMCA branch, backed by community partners like Lowen Corporation, is expected to play a key role in promoting fitness, family activities, and youth development across the region.

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 600 block of North Main on the west side. 

I had a reader ask if I had any history on a little "greasy spoon" diner that was located near Grace Hospital during World War II. They could barely remember it or its location. This is what I found.

About 1915, a shoemaker named John Huffine built himself a little cinder-block building at 605 N. Main and did business there until about 1930.

In 1934, it became Joe Bowles Restaurant and, in 1936, it was Minnie Harris's Restaurant.

In 1941, with the onset of World War II, Frank Dragoo and Orville Miller rechristened it the "Victory Dinette" and sold mostly hamburgers. The first photo shows the Victory Dinette at 605 N. Main in 1941 just south of Sam Schneider's service station.

After that, the Victory Dinette had a long line of owners: 1948 to 1954, Leo and Zelma Goss; 1954 to 1962, Orvilla Kirk; 1962 to 1969, Wayne Wisby; 1969 to 1971, Basil Adkins; 1971 to 1974, Alma Mills.

In 1974, Perry Reger Sr. bought the building from Eugene White, razed the old block building, then extended the south end of Reger Rental to add more storage. The second photo shows that remodel in August of 1974.

The third photo shows the same vantage point (as the first photo) today. You can tell where it was.

MCPHERSON, Kan. — Work to address drainage problems at McPherson High School and replace the Roundhouse floor destroyed by June flooding moved forward Monday night after the USD 418 Board of Education voted unanimously to approve key projects.

By a 5-0 vote, the board authorized construction of an expanded detention pond, temporary drainage improvements, and initial work on a new gym floor, including concrete and electrical installation. The hardwood installation could be delayed until spring if a temporary surface can be secured.

“We want to make sure we can confidently invest in our facility while knowing that we can keep floodwaters out,” Superintendent Shiloh Vincent told the board. “Ultimately, as part of the bidding process, it will be the contractor’s responsibility to provide temporary flood mitigation.”

Board member Chelsea Busch suggested exploring a portable floor system through Kingdom Courts, a Kansas company that recently outfitted another school with a temporary surface. “It does get our athletes and our gym classes back into the Roundhouse,” Busch said. “We do have the ability to do long-term, but this could get everybody back in the space.”

Engineers from incite Design Studio and Kaw Valley Civil Engineering told the board the detention pond will be nearly tripled in size, increasing storage from about 16,000 cubic feet to nearly 40,000. Duane Cash of incite said problems were also found with an existing drainage pipe near the welding shop.

“The capacity of a 15-inch pipe was maybe 30 percent effective because of sediment at the bottom of the pond, which caused flow issues,” Cash said. “We also believe the pipe has settled over time. The redesign will put it back into shape at the right elevations with the right protections.”

Vincent added that engineers believe the upgrades would have protected the facility during this summer’s storms. “Viewed as a 24-hour event, the June 17 rainfall was a 50-year storm, and the following day was more typical. Our experts believe the expanded pond would have been sufficient to handle both,” he said.

Prior to the board’s vote, McPherson High senior volleyball player Elle Polson addressed the board, voicing frustration over a lack of communication. “We really don’t know what’s happening,” Polson said. “We’re getting information through a grapevine, but we haven’t heard from anybody really what exactly is happening and what the steps are from here.” She also worried the delay could cost the team a chance to host a sub-state tournament.

The June and July storms were classified as extraordinary, one a 200-year event, followed by 100-year and 50-year storms. Engineers confirmed that the high school’s new track and field complex, completed in 2022, did not contribute to the flooding. In fact, they found it may help slow runoff before it reaches the floodway.

District staff have kept the Roundhouse functional through subsequent rains with pumps, sandbags and round-the-clock monitoring. “We’ve been on call 24/7 lately, but I believe we’re at a point where we can remove water in a way that helps us,” Bill Froese, director of operations with USD 418 said. “With the expanded pond and all three pumps working to their design level, we’ll be in really good shape.”

USD 418 board advances Roundhouse flood fixes, gym floor replacement

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jim Olson spent more than 30 years living a life of secrets. On Tuesday, the former CIA counterintelligence chief talked about his long clandestine career, which was both the honor of a lifetime and a constant test of endurance.

Olson, who served in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations before becoming chief of counterintelligence at headquarters in Langley, Va., spoke at a press conference ahead of his Dillon Lecture Series appearance at Hutchinson Community College.

“Our mission is to protect the American people,” Olson said. “It was a very fulfilling thing to do. My wife and I really got a lot of satisfaction out of providing intelligence to keep the American people safer.”

He described his Cold War posting to Moscow as the dream assignment of any CIA officer, though it carried grave risks. “The consequence of getting caught would be catastrophic,” he said. “Our job was to steal Russia’s secrets on their turf, under their nose, and not get caught.” He and his wife, Meredith, underwent intensive psychological testing before the assignment. “Your apartment is bugged. You’re followed everywhere you go. You can’t talk about your work, you can’t talk about your problems. It’s a very artificial way to live,” he said. Even so, the couple believed in their mission. “We felt honored to be there and to have the opportunity to collect intelligence against our main adversary.”

Coming home required adjustment. “We couldn’t believe we could actually talk,” Olson said. “Living in a hostile environment like that is hard to get away from. Our marriage is strong, and we adjusted in due course, but it has its aftereffects. I have recurring dreams. For some reason, my dreams are being chased.”

Olson said he never planned on becoming a spy. Raised in Iowa, he studied law and expected to become a small-town attorney until the CIA reached out. “I did not apply. They found me,” he said. “Somebody spotted me, one of my professors, I think, and I got a call out of the blue. Once I got there, I realized that’s where I belonged.” He recalled being asked where he thought he could best contribute. “I liked research. I liked writing. I said I think I could help you with analysis. They were looking at all my psychological profiles and training records. They knew me better than I knew myself. They said, ‘No, you’re going to be an operator.’ It turned out they were right.”

After retiring, Olson accepted an invitation from former President George H.W. Bush to establish an intelligence studies program at Texas A&amp;M University. The move required him and his wife to come out from undercover, a step most CIA officers avoid. “Most of our people retire undercover,” Olson said. “That’s much more comfortable. You don’t have to worry about the threats. That was our plan, but it didn’t work out that way.” Leaving secrecy behind also brought new dangers. “There are really bad people out there, terrorists, narcotics traffickers, organized crime, and they’ve got long memories,” he said. “Meredith and I are always very careful. The FBI and local police have been involved several times because of threats we’ve received.”

At Texas A&amp;M, Olson said interest in intelligence careers is strong, but many students are undone by mistakes from their teenage years. “It’s heartbreaking,” he said. “Because of dumb decisions you made when you were 16, 17 or 18, it’s never going to happen.”

Reflecting on decades in the shadows, Olson said the work was never easy but always worthwhile. “We had a lot of very courageous Russians who were risking their lives working secretly with us,” he said. “You always were aware that a single mistake could be fatal to them and possibly to you as well. But what sustained us was our belief in the mission. We felt honored to be there. It was kind of the dream assignment of any CIA officer to go to Moscow.”

 </figure>By <a href="mailto:sean.boston@eaglemedia.com">SEAN BOSTON</a> Hutch PostHUTCHINSON, Kan. — Jim Olson spent more than 30 years living a life of secrets. On Tuesday, the former CIA counterintelligence chief talked about his long clandestine career, which was both the honor of a lifetime and a constant test of endurance.Olson, who served in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations before becoming chief of counterintelligence at headquarters in Langley, Va., spoke at a press conference ahead of his Dillon Lecture Series appearance at Hutchinson Community College.“Our mission is to protect the American people,” Olson said. “It was a very fulfilling thing to do.

Former CIA officer Jim Olson recalls life undercover, sacrifices of service at Dillon Lecture Series

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson YMCA is inviting the public to make their mark on its future by signing the final structural beam of its new facility before it is put into place.

The beam signing event will be held Thursday, Sept. 25, from 6 to 7 p.m. at the construction site of the 75,000-square-foot YMCA, located at the intersection of 20th Avenue and Lorraine Street.

“We thought that’d be kind of a neat idea to have a beam visible in the new Y that people could sign,” said David Foster, branch director of the Hutchinson YMCA. “It’ll be one of the last structural beams to go in place in the new facility, which is pretty cool. And we just wanted to be open to anybody and everybody in the community that would want to come out and be a part of that piece of history.”

Foster said the idea originated with the construction company, which suggested leaving the beam uncovered for the community to see. “We thought, man, that’s a great idea. A lot of times when you sign a board or a beam, it gets covered up. But the fact that it would be visible for people as long as the Y is there, I thought that’d be a pretty cool thing,” he said.

The new YMCA, scheduled to open in late summer 2026, will replace the current location on 13th Avenue. Plans include expanded fitness areas, two aquatic centers, a gymnasium and a dedicated gymnastics center.

“None of our other branches in the greater Wichita Y have anything like that,” Foster said. “So it’ll be something really specific and really neat to Hutch.”

The come-and-go event will take place in the south parking lot of the new site, with attendees asked to enter off 20th Street. “We’ll have a section kind of roped off or sectioned off in the south parking lot,” Foster said. “People can just stay long enough to sign their name on the beam and be on about their day.”

Despite recent rainfall, construction is on track. Foster said crews expect to install the signed beam about a week after the event. “They’re hoping to have the facility kind of buttoned up by Thanksgiving so they can put some temporary heat in there and work through the really cold months,” he said. “Things are progressing quite well.”

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Christian Johnson found Derrick Salley Jr. for a 3-yard touchdown pass with just over a minute remaining, and No. 1 Hutchinson Community College escaped with a 30-27 victory over No. 2 Iowa Western on Saturday afternoon at Gowans Stadium in a rematch of last season’s NJCAA national championship game.

Johnson, who accounted for three touchdowns, led the Blue Dragons (2-0) on a seven-play, 87-yard drive in the closing minutes after Iowa Western’s Malachi Marshall gave the Reivers (1-1) a late lead with a 15-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter.

Hutchinson trailed 20-16 in the third quarter after Marshall connected with Cyrus Courtney for a 43-yard strike, but Jack Sells swung momentum with a rare 100-yard return of a blocked extra point. Johnson later punched in a 2-yard touchdown to put the Dragons back on top, 23-20.

Marshall threw for 216 yards and three touchdowns, including scores to DeAndre Horn and Jaivyn Moore, while adding 30 yards and a rushing touchdown. But the Reivers were turned away on downs in the final seconds after Hutchinson’s defense held near midfield.

Johnson completed 18 of 26 passes for 242 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while rushing for 68 yards and two scores. Salley Jr. was his top target with four catches for 106 yards, his first career 100-plus receiving yards game. Rashaud Hurt added 55 rushing yards, including a 40-yard touchdown burst in the second quarter.

Defensively, McPherson native Teegan Haines led Hutchinson with 12 tackles, while K.J. Henson Jr. added seven stops and 1.5 sacks. Kevin Moorer also recorded a sack, and M.J. Graham intercepted Marshall in the third quarter. For Iowa Western, Jerome Baker posted a game-high 13 tackles and Andy Burburija tallied two of the Reivers’ four sacks.

The teams were nearly even statistically — Hutchinson finished with 360 yards of offense to Iowa Western’s 343 — but the Blue Dragons overcame 14 penalties for 136 yards.

The Blue Dragons have won four straight against the Reivers — the longest streak any opponent has managed in Iowa Western’s 17-year program history.

Hutchinson will travel to Fort Dodge, Iowa next week to face No. 14 Iowa Central (2-0), while Iowa Western returns to Kansas to face Dodge City (0-1).&nbsp;

Friday football forecast

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — Press Box Suite C at Gowans Stadium has been renamed the Rusty Hilst Broadcast Booth, honoring the longtime voice of Hutchinson High School and Hutchinson Community College athletics.

Hilst, who died in June after a battle with ALS, spent more than 50 years calling football and basketball games for the Salthawks and Blue Dragons. Known for his warm and steady delivery, he became a fixture on the local airwaves and a trusted source for generations of fans.

The dedication was held Friday at Gowans Stadium, where family, colleagues and friends gathered to celebrate Hilst’s legacy as a teacher, coach and broadcaster.

“Rusty started broadcasting Blue Dragon athletics in 1969,” HutchCC sports information director Steve Carpenter said. “He called 870 Blue Dragon football games, winning 692, and 1,681 Blue Dragon men’s basketball games, winning 1,274. In the later years, he even did 249 women’s basketball games, winning 226. During that time, he got to call three national basketball championships, 19 men’s conference titles, six women’s titles, 14 men’s Region VI titles and six women’s Region VI titles. In football, four league titles and 16 bowl appearances. Rusty got to call a lot of good stuff.”

Over his career, Hilst earned numerous accolades, including Kansas Sportscaster of the Year and the Hod Humiston Award from the Kansas Association of Broadcasters. He was inducted into the Hutchinson High School Wall of Honor and later became the first non-player inducted into the Hutchinson Community College Quarterback Club Hall of Fame.

“When you name a room after an individual, it’s a permanent way to recognize their importance to a team, school or organization,” HutchCC athletic director Josh Gooch said. “Today is a special day. We get to honor and memorialize a legendary broadcaster that we all got to enjoy.”

Friends and colleagues said Hilst’s influence extended beyond the press box, recalling his kindness, mentorship and commitment to the Hutchinson community.

“On behalf of Hutch High and USD 308, I just want to say how thankful we are for Rusty,” Hutchinson High athletic director Steve Kappenman said. “Myself, growing up, those are my first memories of listening to Hutch High and the Blue Dragons with my dad — that voice in our house. We didn’t have smartphones, so it was that radio tuned into Rusty each time.”

One of Hilst’s longtime broadcast partners and the current voice of the Salthawks, Glen Grunwald, shared stories from years of traveling to and from games together.

MCPHERSON — After two major summer floods left the Roundhouse gym floor damaged, USD 418 is moving forward with a plan to address both the immediate repairs and long-term flood protection for the facility.

The flooding in June and July was caused by what engineers have called rare and extraordinary storm events. The June 18 storm was classified as a 200-year flood, followed in July by back-to-back 100-year and 50-year events. Despite concerns from some in the community, engineers confirmed that the new athletic track and field, completed in 2022, did not contribute to the flooding. In fact, they found it may help slow water before it reaches the floodway.

To better prepare for the future, USD 418 partnered with inCite Design Studios (iDS) and Kaw Valley Civil Engineering to study the Bull Creek and McPherson Dry Turkey Creek watersheds. Their recommendations include expanding the detention pond to hold more stormwater, testing and upgrading the pond’s pump system, raising doorways, and adding temporary barriers until more permanent work can be done.

The Board of Education has taken a step-by-step approach since the flooding began. In July, it initially approved replacing the gym floor but later paused the project to hear from engineers. At a special meeting earlier this month, engineers presented their findings and outlined a series of mitigation steps.

The Board will revisit the issue at its next regular meeting on Monday, September 15, where members are expected to decide how to proceed with both the flood control measures and the replacement of the gym floor.

District officials emphasized that staff vigilance has kept the Roundhouse dry during subsequent rains and that they remain committed to ensuring the facility is protected against future flooding.

Hutchinson made a loud statement in Week 1, rolling to a 34-0 shutout win over defending Class 4A state champion Andover Central. It was the Salthawks’ first season-opening shutout since 2004, when they blanked Newton 14-0.

Senior linebacker Jackson Anderson was everywhere, piling up 15 tackles, three for loss, and delivering a 48-yard pick-six that put an exclamation point on the defensive effort. Hutch held the Jaguars to just 145 yards on 50 snaps, a stingy 2.9 yards per play.

 </figure>By <a href="mailto:sean.boston@eaglemedia.com">SEAN BOSTON</a> Hutch Post<h2>Hutchinson (1-0) at Valley Center (1-0)</h2>Hutchinson made a loud statement in Week 1, rolling to a 34-0 shutout win over defending Class 4A state champion Andover Central. It was the Salthawks’ first season-opening shutout since 2004, when they blanked Newton 14-0.Senior linebacker Jackson Anderson was everywhere, piling up 15 tackles, three for loss, and delivering a 48-yard pick-six that put an exclamation point on the defensive effort. Hutch held the Jaguars to just 145 yards on 50 snaps, a stingy 2.9 yards per play.On the other side of the ball, Hutchinson turned a new page, running a spread offense for the first time in more than 20 years after decades in the flexbone. Senior quarterback Robert Hunter looked comfortable, throwing for 123 yards and three touchdowns while spreading the ball around.Valley Center also flexed in its opener, outlasting Eisenhower 38-28. Senior quarterback Carter Thatcher was the difference-maker, completing 16 of 23 passes for 278 yards and two touchdowns. His sophomore target Spencer Crumrine showed flashes of stardom with five catches for 110 yards and two scores, while junior R.J. Logan chipped in five receptions for 69 yards. The Hornets balanced things with 179 rushing yards, led by Cooper Boone’s 87 and a touchdown, while Thatcher added two more on the ground.Friday’s matchup at Hornet Stadium feels like an early measuring stick in the Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division I and could have implications later in the season in Class 5A West. The Salthawks won last year's meeting in the Salt City, 13-0.&nbsp;Hutchinson’s revamped offense and stingy defense get a tougher test against a Valley Center team that can hurt you both through the air and on the ground.The key? Slowing down Thatcher. The Salthawks held Andover Central’s Max Olson to just 39 passing yards last week. Thatcher won’t be limited to that, but if Hutch can keep him closer to 100 than 200, they’ll likely head home with a 2-0 record for the first time since 2022.Prediction: Hutchinson 28, Valley Center 14<h2>Central Christian School (1-0) vs. Canton-Galva (1-0)</h2>Central Christian wasted no time in Week 1, cruising past Sunrise Christian 62-14 in Bel Aire. The win avenged last year’s 54-50 loss to the Buffaloes and gave the Cougars the upper hand right out of the gate.The Cougars set the tone immediately, taking the opening kickoff back for a touchdown just 16 seconds in. By the end of the first quarter it was 28-0, and they stretched it to 56-14 at halftime. The game ended early in the third quarter under the 45-point mercy rule.CCS did nearly all of its damage on the ground, piling up 296 rushing yards on just 32 attempts, an eye-popping 9.3 yards per carry. Seniors Piercen Huff and Konnor Sullivan were unstoppable. Huff ran 13 times for 149 yards and three touchdowns, while Sullivan added 12 carries for 138 yards and four scores. On defense, Huff and junior Luke Eigsti each picked off a pass.Canton-Galva also opened with a blowout, blanking Lost Springs-Centre 42-0. The Eagles’ offense was balanced, 116 yards rushing and 88 passing for 204 total, but the defense stole the show, holding Centre to zero net yards. The Cougars finished with 44 passing yards, but were pushed back for minus-44 on the ground.This week brings a tougher challenge for Canton-Galva on the road. Central Christian dominated last year’s meeting 48-0, and with Huff and Sullivan looking nearly unstoppable, it’s hard to see this year’s result being much different. Expect the Cougars of CCS to roll again.Prediction: Central Christian 42, Canton-Galva 24<h2>Moundridge (1-0) vs. Sterling (1-0)</h2>Both Moundridge and Sterling look like contenders in Class 1A, and Friday’s matchup could be an early measuring stick for both programs. Sterling opened with a 47-6 statement win over a talented Sedgwick team, while Moundridge rolled past Bennington 52-0.For Moundridge, this is a crucial second straight home game before hitting the road for three in a row. The Wildcats have been strong at home, going 4-1 since the start of last season. A year ago, Moundridge went on the road and handled Sterling 28-7, but this year’s challenge looks stiffer.Sterling showcased its power run game at Sedgwick, piling up 379 rushing yards as part of a 412-yard night. Senior Zane Farney was the star, rushing 18 times for 155 yards and four touchdowns. Coupled with the leadership of four-year starting quarterback Logan Isaac, the Black Bears have the experience to make a deep playoff run.Moundridge was equally sharp in its opener, totaling 301 yards of offense, 196 on the ground and 105 through the air. The Wildcats’ defense smothered Bennington, holding them to 102 total yards and forcing three turnovers.This one has the makings of a classic small-school battle, and it may come down to who wins at the line of scrimmage. Moundridge has a defense capable of slowing Sterling, but the Black Bears’ experience and motivation after last year’s loss might give them the edge. Don’t be surprised if Sterling pulls this one out late.Prediction: Sterling 28, Moundridge 20
