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 3rd Avenue and North Main.

The three buildings at 302-304 N. Main were built in 1900 as Hutchinson businesses first expanded north of the Santa Fe tracks. The first photo was taken in 1928 and shows the new Santa Fe Hotel and Cafe, owned by James Brown, at 300 N. Main.

This was the second Santa Fe Hotel in town. The first one was across the street and burned down in 1921.

The 302 N. Main address was the W.P. Beal Jewelers. The 304 address was the Iris Theatre, a dime-movie house featuring second-run films and westerns. The slanted floor faced the front entrance with projection from the middle of the theatre. William Fulton was the manager and it existed from February 1912 to May 1943. The second photo shows the 302 N. Main address even earlier in 1910 when it was the New State Cafe.

The third photo of the corner is from 1947 and shows the 302 slot as the Classic Barber Shop, the 300 slot as the M&amp;M Cafe, with #2906 Locomotive, one of the last of the steam locomotives of the Santa Fe Railway line.

The fourth photo is from 2017, and shows the 304 slot as Sarah's Catholic Book Store and the 300 slot as The Natural Alternative.

The fifth photo shows the corner today, with 304 being Thoracic Park Chiropractic, 302 being Main Street Yoga and 300 being Leu+Co, a plumbing, heating and a/c company plus property management services. The 300 and 302 slots are owned by Leuco Properties L.L.C. Logan and Em Leuenberger.

📷 Throwback Thursday: Santa Fe Hotel - Vol. 102

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — If you want to get an early start on your new year's fitness routine, you can do that at the Hutchinson YMCA.

"If you didn't get that Y membership you were hoping for in your stocking, you can come to the Y through Jan. 13 and pay nothing. So no joiner fee and no pro rate from Dec. 26 through Jan. 13. And your first membership draft wouldn't be until February," said David Foster with the Hutchinson YMCA. "If you still are kind of thinking about it and think, man, I wish I would have done that from Jan. 14 through the end of the month, you'll just pay no joiner fee. So on most memberships, that'll save you 50 bucks. So if you put it off and then haven't made your decision yet, you can still come in and save some money and get started in January and start working on that healthier lifestyle."

Personal training is also available at the Hutchinson YMCA.

"If we've got some new exercisers or maybe people that haven't done it in a long time, you want to make sure that you're doing especially if you're lifting weights and stuff like that," Foster said. "You want to make sure that you're doing it properly, and sometimes you can almost do more damage to yourself if you just come in."

It's also nice to have someone to keep you accountable.

"We've got lots of different packages you can choose from individual personal training. You can choose one hour or 30 minute sessions, and we have partner training and also so that's with just you and one other person. And then we also have group training as well. So that can go anywhere from three, three friends to any anything from six and above, and there's different prices for whichever tier that you choose. You can also do the group training for an hour or 30 minutes as well."

For more information on the Hutchinson YMCA, give them a call at (620) 662-1203.

Hutch Y with special deals through mid-January

Editor's Note: Kansas Honor Flight announced the passing of Olen Mitchell on Christmas Eve. Hutch Post is re-running the feature on his planned trip to Normandy earlier this year in tribute to his service.

EMMIE BOESE&nbsp; Hutch Post HUTCHINSON, Kan. —Community &nbsp;members, friends and family gathered for the send off party of Wesley Towers resident and WWII Veteran Olen Mitchell’s journey to Normandy France for the <a href="https://en.normandie-tourisme.fr/discover/history/d-day-and-the-battle-of-normandy/the-anniversary/">80th anniversary of D-Day</a>.&nbsp;

Olen said it was the furthest thing from his mind when he heard that he would be one of a select group of U.S. WWII Veterans to go on the American Airlines chartered Boeing 787 aircraft flight. <a href="https://news.aa.com/news/news-details/2024/American-Airlines-honors-veterans-with-special-journey-to-Normandy-for-the-80th-anniversary-of-D-Day-COMM-MVI-05/">Wesley Towers heard of the American Airlines sponsored trip through the Kansas Honor Flight</a>. “Oh it's great," Olen said. "First I feel honored. Next I feel lucky."

Olen and his great great nephew Jordan Mitchell, will make the trip to Normandy together. Olen and Jordan will leave for Normandy on Thursday, May 30. The trip will last nine days and end on Friday, June 7.&nbsp;

WWII veterans are in their 90s or older. Due to older age, all veterans have a guardian with them on the trip. With his great great uncle Olen being 102 years of age, Jordan was asked to be Olen’s guardian for the trip.

“It’s a huge honor and I jumped on it when they asked without hesitation,” Jordan said. "I said absolutely. Whatever I have to do to go I will jump on. Once in a lifetime opportunity.”&nbsp;

The pair will travel from Dallas-Fort Worth to Paris for two nights and then take a bus ride to the Normandy region.&nbsp; Veterans will have the opportunity to honor those who served during WWII.&nbsp;

Priority for the flight was given to those who participated in <a href="https://www.army.mil/d-day/history.html">D-Day</a> and those who served in the <a href="https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/world-war-ii-europe/">European Theater</a>.&nbsp; Mitchell served in the European Theater in the U. S. Army 337th Infantry Regiment in Italy-Rome ARNO-GO33 War Dept. He later served in the 1763rd Service Command.

On May 23, 1944, Olen was wounded in combat after being hit by a bullet in the jaw and mouth. He spent nine months in the hospital and underwent numerous reconstructive surgeries.&nbsp; Mitchell was awarded the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star for meritorious achievement in ground combat, the European Theater ribbon, the Good Conduct Medal and the Combat Infantry Badge.

Daily Bookings

In those days, a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.

In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for see — I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is the Messiah,<a href="javascript:void(0);"></a>&nbsp;the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host,<a href="javascript:void(0);"></a>&nbsp;praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favours!’<a href="javascript:void(0);"></a>

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.’ So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

Merry Christmas from Hutch Post

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Board of County Commissioners approved a plan to capture methane from the Reno County Landfill. 

According to agenda documents, Reno County publicized a Request for Proposals for parties interested in entering into an agreement to capture Methane from the Reno County Landfill.

The proposal from Sparq/Meadowlark was determined to be the best option for the County. The law firm of Stinson LLP was hired to assist county staff in reviewing and revising the contract language to protect the county’s interest.

"We are working on public-private partnerships throughout the region," said Norman Herrera with&nbsp;Sparq/Meadowlark. "This would be a relationship where we would invest in equipment to process your landfill gas to meet a pipeline specification by Kansas Gas Service to inject in their system."

The agreement approved Monday will allow Sparq/Meadowlark to qualify for federal tax credits and begin the project, and then a final agreement will need to be approved in the future. The idea is that under the renewable fuels standard, the methane captured from the landfill would fulfill credits for those who otherwise produce such fuels, those are called RINs.

"The ultimate purchaser would be the obligated party that has to buy this production," Herrera said. "Who are obligated parties? Your majors, your Exxon, Shell, Chevron, BPs of the world that are refining products. As part of refining they also have to buy these RINs as well and these RINs are what we're producing at the landfill once it enters the pipeline."

The county would get money from the methane sold.

"This project would command that range of anywhere between $750,000 to a million dollars with the floor of $37,500 a month," Herrera said.&nbsp;

The final agreement will come before the county commission in 2025, once details are finished.

 </figure>NICK GOSNELL Hutch PostHUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Board of County Commissioners approved a plan to capture methane from the Reno County Landfill. According to agenda documents, Reno County publicized a Request for Proposals for parties interested in entering into an agreement to capture Methane from the Reno County Landfill.The proposal from Sparq/Meadowlark was determined to be the best option for the County. The law firm of Stinson LLP was hired to assist county staff in reviewing and revising the contract language to protect the county’s interest."We are working on public-private partnerships throughout the region," said Norman Herrera with&nbsp;Sparq/Meadowlark. "This would be a relationship where we would invest in equipment to process your landfill gas to meet a pipeline specification by Kansas Gas Service to inject in their system."The agreement approved Monday will allow Sparq/Meadowlark to qualify for federal tax credits and begin the project, and then a final agreement will need to be approved in the future. The idea is that under the renewable fuels standard, the methane captured from the landfill would fulfill credits for those who otherwise produce such fuels, those are called RINs."The ultimate purchaser would be the obligated party that has to buy this production," Herrera said. "Who are obligated parties? Your majors, your Exxon, Shell, Chevron, BPs of the world that are refining products. As part of refining they also have to buy these RINs as well and these RINs are what we're producing at the landfill once it enters the pipeline."The county would get money from the methane sold."This project would command that range of anywhere between $750,000 to a million dollars with the floor of $37,500 a month," Herrera said.&nbsp;The final agreement will come before the county commission in 2025, once details are finished.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson USD 308 Superintendent Dr. Dawn Johnson met with a small committee this past week to discuss the district's $109.5 million bond proposal. There is a state bond cap that comes into play.&nbsp;

"If you remember a few years ago sometimes you were counting your budget based on the current enrollment," Johnson said. "Now we've gone back so you can have predictability and use previous enrollments. When all that was happening and people were building also, it was hard for the state to predict their budget if they were going to have state aid that they weren't prepared for because of local district decisions on bonds, so they got to a place where they have a formula where they take retired principal plus the producer price index a weight way beyond kind of what I do for a living and then they come up with the amount each year that will go against the bond cap."

The amount for this year is a little over $593 million and about $330 million has been used.

"For a hundred and nine million, our cap number is somewhere around ninety million that we would use," Johnson said. "I believe that there are I think four schools being considered at the January school board meeting and for all four of those schools it exceeds the 263 million that is available left."

The committee Johnson met with will help the state board decide which of the projects to allow to go forward.

"They prioritize the the applications that are going forward on four areas, safety of current facilities so are the buildings unsafe for students to be in that's a real priority, imminent overcrowding, they'll go back and look at the last three years of enrollment growth and if there is imminent overcrowding and you have to build to do that. Impact of the delivery on educational services demonstrated by a restrictive and inflexible design, I think you know we've talked a lot about our middle school design and that's a piece that I think we'll have, and then energy usage operational inefficiencies, I think we have a little bit of that with two four-story buildings so that might be the area where we where we will definitely want to highlight where we run into that."

The largest piece of the bond, if approved, would build a new 6th through 8th grade center and repurpose the district's two current middle schools.

Bond cap part of state board choice for USD 308

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — After advancing above growth neutral for the first time since July 2023 last month, the overall Rural Mainstreet Index (RMI) sank below the 50.0 reading in December according to the monthly survey of bank CEOs in rural areas of a 10-state region dependent on agriculture and/or energy.

"We're seeing some real issues out there right now," said Creighton University economist Ernie Goss. "For example, they cut back on agricultural equipment purchases this now declined for the 17th straight month. They're making do with what they can, they cut back on some of their inputs whether that's fertilizer or changing cheaper fertilizer and so on cheaper inputs. That's how they're dealing with it right now."

Rural bankers remain pessimistic about economic growth for their area over the next six months.

"It's been weak for many months," Goss said. "It's just the price of commodities, agricultural commodities, you get one one month they're up, one month they're down, just vacillating in a low range. In other words, it wasn't hasn't been that long when we saw, for example, corn above $7 a bushel now it's of course between four and a quarter and four and a half dollars a bushel."

There's also the uncertainty of trade policy in an incoming Trump administration, and for farmers and bankers, uncertainty can sometimes be worse than bad news.

"The federal government doesn't have the flexibility they had last time when President Trump entered office," Goss said. "Then we had a budget deficit that wasn't as large. We had a debt, a federal debt that wasn't as large. The flexibility for the federal government is diminished significantly."

Also, another year has gone by without a long-term farm bill, which leaves things up in the air as to how farmers should plan for 2025 and forward.

Rural Mainstreet still struggling

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Shawn Steward from AAA Kansas told Hutch Post that Perry Como had it right in his Christmas song, across the Sunflower State, the traffic will be terrific.

"It has been a boon this year in terms of all kinds of travel," Steward said. "We're going to continue that throughout the holidays ending the year. We're projecting about one point two to one point three million Kansans will be traveling 50 miles or more from their home during the holidays. We're talking about Dec. 21 through Jan. 1 is our holiday period. Almost 92% of travelers will be driving to their holiday destination."

That's well over a million Kansans that will be on the roads between now and the end of the year.

"Gas prices, as they've been all year, have been very moderate," Steward said. "We're looking at $2.68 a gallon on the average in Kansas right now. That's about thirty five cents less than the national average. That puts us fifth lowest in the country. So generally, if you're traveling in state or to our south and southeast, that's where you'll be seeing the lowest gas prices in the country."

There will be a few calls to the side of the road for AAA, but the estimate isn't too bad, given the volume of drivers.

"Last year during the holiday period, AAA Kansas Emergency Roadside Service crews responded to about 4000 calls throughout the state during that holiday travel period," Steward said. "We anticipate about the same. A lot of the same reasons we talk about, tires and batteries are among our top reasons for for getting calls from members, so make sure that you're getting your car checked out, make sure it's ready for the road trip, because, you know, we're always out there to help. We'd prefer that you not spend part of your holiday stuck on the side of the road. Get your car checked out before you hit the road, if at all possible."

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The 1861 Club on the Kansas State Fairgrounds is hosting a New Year's Eve event for the public this year.

"We knew Hutch hadn't made a big New Year's Eve party for a lot of time or a lot of years," said James Fisher with the Kansas Fairgrounds Foundation. "We decided to put together an exciting event for the community and invite people out, that also was a fundraiser for the foundation."

"The dinner starts at seven with an incredible band that'll start playing around 8:30 or 9," Fisher said. "We will do a toast at midnight. It really is just a fun evening of dining and dancing and and having a having a great evening together to ring in the new year."

Tickets are now available for $125/person or $225/couple.  On December 24, tickets go to $150/person and $275/couple. Tickets must be paid for at the time they are reserved. The Foundation accepts cash, check or a credit card for payment. You can call to get your tickets at (620) 615-7388.

Featured entertainment will be&nbsp;LOST WAX, the original mashup party band and the house band at the 2023 NFL Draft held in Kansas City. They offer stacks of funky tracks spanning six decades of pop, rock, hip hop, and R&amp;B.

"It's a place you feel comfortable in your cowboy hat or in your black tie tux," Fisher said. "It's welcoming to all, and it just makes you feel comfortable when you walk in the door. The natural wood, the stone, all of it put together. New Year's Eve is going to be exciting."

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Brian Brillhart is the Allen Samuels CDJR Teacher of the Month for December. He teaches English at Hutchinson Middle School-7.

"A strong 7th grade writer, I think, is somebody who has all the tools that they want to express themselves well," Brillhart said. "I mean, if that means a good vocabulary, so they're not limited by, you know, just pulling from a certain catalog of words, if they have grammar that allows them to express themselves clearly. I guess the goal would be just that they can say what they're thinking, what they're feeling, in exactly the way that they want to, in a way that can be understood by people so that they don't feel like they're ever misunderstood."

Brillhart notes that it isn't easy for some students to express themselves.

"We've made the basics of writing a starting point for each of the last few years, because we've seen the need for a focus on that, because students are so limited in their expression, especially in writing," Brillhart said. "That's kind of a first things first, and I think, you know, that that's probably not unique, even at the elementary level, but yeah, I would say that whether they're conscious of it or not, we see limitations, certainly, in the way that they're able to express themselves and would like for them to feel more freedom."

It's also important to know that meaning is shared and it changes over time.&nbsp;

"I've been around just long enough to know which way the wind blows, but I've told students several times this year, I wish I'd kept a dictionary of sorts, cataloging some of these, these terms in their vocabulary that seem to be so fleeting," Brillhart said. "They come and go, and words that they have, you know, they have their own nuanced, personalized meaning for, but then you ask somebody seated next to them, they might say something completely different. They have a well for communication with their peers or for other purposes on social media, whatever, but in terms of academics and being able to express themselves in a wide, a wide variety of settings, there's room for that."

Brillhart's class received Pizza Hut pizza and ice cream from Braum's to commemorate his award.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson Salvation Army needs your help to reach their kettle goal for 2024, as they still needed over $20,000 to reach their goal as of Thursday.

"We definitely need support as we go into the weekend," said Major Paul James. "The weekends are usually always bigger anyway. We have some matching opportunities at 5th Street Dillons, we have matching opportunities at the 30th Street Dillons. Those are $20 bill matches all this week. Then Saturday, of course, all of our locations, $20 bills will be matched, as well. A lot of opportunity to help us get to that goal."

They are still doing the Tap to Pay match if you'll tap the $20 spot at the kettle outside one of the matching locations. They also still need some toys.

"Friday is our distribution," James said. "We'll be distributing to over 900 families for food and then over 1100 kids for toys. One of those age groups that's difficult to provide for, 10-12 year old boys and girls are kind of that area, but specifically girls 10-12. We're way short on those."

Contact the Salvation Army at (620) 663-3353 for more information.

Today's "Throwback Thursday Collection" takes us to the 500 block of East Avenue A on the north side.

In 1900, George Updegraff had a drug store at 1 S. Main and his son, Robert, was a dentist upstairs.

Robert built a grand Victorian-style home that year at 528 E. Ave. A. The first photo shows that home at completion in 1901.

After George's passing, Robert decided to move and sell the home. Meanwhile, George Gano decided to move his milling and wheat storage business from Pawnee Rock to Hutchinson for the rail connections and purchased the 528 E. Ave. A home in 1904 for $7,000.

Gano was very successful in grain marketing and building grain elevators in Western Kansas.

By 1947, at the age of 70, he decided to sell Gano Grain Corporation to the Bunge Corp., a Belgium conglomerate, for $5 million.

In 1949, Gano died and his grandson, Nelson Hobart, inherited the home and lived there for about 10 years.

In 1975, Ralph (Doc) and Teddy Gingerich purchased the home and have lived there ever since. The second photo shows the house today, still in grand shape at 528 E. Ave. A.
