HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Hutchinson Community College Cultural Activities will host the annual celebration to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The event will begin on Sunday, January 15 at 2:00 p.m. in the&nbsp; Stringer Fine Arts Center on the HutchCC campus.&nbsp;

"We have, I think, a very good program on Sunday," said Dr. Hence Parson. We'll have several choirs. Buhler High School, Hutch High School and Badinage from Hutchinson Community College. We'll also have some young folks who are going to talk to the theme, Together—We Can Be The Dream."

Those speakers will be college age students, according to former long-time NAACP President Darrell Pope.

"Many of those folks didn't know anything about Dr. King, except what they have read or seen on TV," Pope said. "We get a chance to ask them what Dr. King means to them, or what their knowledge of him means to them. They get a chance to express that among themselves and their age group, etc. I think that's going to be interesting, to hear what their perspective is."

The group will come back together on Monday at 10:30 a.m.

"We're going to congregate again at Stringer Fine Arts," Parson said. "We're going to get our orders in terms of volunteering within the community of Hutchinson."

Monday is the Martin Luther King, Jr., National Day of Service.

With his announcement, Quint completes a 20-year collegiate coaching career with two KCAC regular season and three KCAC post-season tournament titles among his 215 wins, which place him 16th among active NAIA men's coaches in total career wins. &nbsp;

Quint also posted a school record 54 wins in seven seasons in his two short tenures as McPherson College women's soccer coach, including a record 13 wins and second place conference finish in 2007. His coaching tenures were separated by his time as the Bulldogs' Athletic Director.&nbsp;

"Coach Quint leaves a soccer legacy at McPherson College that is unmatched," McPherson College President Michael Schneider said. "Doug has served our campus community well and has been a true champion for our student athletes as both a coach and administrator. We are grateful for 20 outstanding years of service."&nbsp;

In his final 18 seasons as the Bulldogs' head coach, Quint saw his teams post winning KCAC season records every season with two undefeated seasons in 2009 and 2014, and a string of 15 overall winning season records. &nbsp;

His 2016 team won a school record of 16 matches, finishing 16-3-2 overall and 8-2-1 in KCAC play, while bettering the previous school record of 15 wins set during the Bulldogs' 15-2-0 undefeated 2009 KCAC championship season.&nbsp;

"I've been fortunate to have coached a great group of Bulldog student-athletes during that time and to have some super, supportive assistants over the years, many of which had previously played for me. Those relationships are what make being a coach extra special," Quint said. "Twenty years as a collegiate head coach at one school is unique in this day and age. It was an honor when I was selected back in 2002 to revive the Bulldog soccer program. I want to thank the current and past administrations and fellow coaches I've worked with at McPherson College over the past 20 years. It's been a pleasure and an honor to lead the McPherson College program and to have worked with them in furthering the Bulldog athletic programs."&nbsp;

In addition to his two regular season conference titles and three postseason tournament titles, Quint leaves McPherson College with multiple KCAC Coach of the Year honors, six KCAC regular season second place finishes, three additional KCAC Tournament Runner-up finishes, six teams that qualified for NAIA National Tournament play, and five teams which achieved NAIA National ranking recognition topped by his 2021 squad's #20 ranking. &nbsp;

Quint recently completed his term as president of the NAIA Soccer Coaches Association.&nbsp;

"Most importantly, I've been blessed with a supportive spouse (Jeny), who was a collegiate player and coach herself and knew what she was getting into when she married a collegiate coach,” Quint said. “It was neat to have the opportunity to coach our oldest son (Kaden) at both the club and collegiate levels; now, I'm looking forward to being able to be more a part of (his younger children) Sydney and Devin's lives."&nbsp;

According to McPherson College Director of Athletics, Chandler Short, current assistant men's soccer coach Kent Freund will take over for Quint as the interim head coach. Freund has served as assistant coach since 2019.&nbsp;

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The price tag for the remodel of the 2nd floor of the Peel Center at Hutchinson Community College is going up. On the agenda for Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting is a revision to the bid for that project.

The administration recommends that the board overturn its approval of Harman Huffman’s original bid of $1,287,000 as presented at the December 8, 2022 Board of Trustees meeting and accept the revised low bid from Harman Huffman for the project in the amount of $1,429,000. 

The reason for the increase is that&nbsp;the college was notified by Buck Plumbing that an error had been made in the HVAC bid for the Peel Center remodel.

The project will be partially funded by an American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) through the Kansas Department of Commerce ($999,786.00) and the remaining portion through capital improvement funds.

The Hutchinson Community College Board of Trustees will hold their regular meeting on  Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in the Justice Theater, Shears Technology Center, Hutchinson Community College at 1300 North Plum, Hutchinson.

The Blue Dragons (11-5, 5-5 KJCCC) continue to recover from their late-November swoon with a third-straight victory on Wednesday.

The Dragons hit 12 3-pointers in the game, the ninth time to reach 10 or more treys in a game this season.

The victory also moved Blue Dragon head coach Tommy DeSalme into fifth place on the Jayhawk Conference and eighth place on the Region VI career coaching wins' lists. The victory over the Mavericks broke a fifth-place tie with DeSalme and former Butler and Cowley head coach Randy Smithson. DeSalme now has 321 conference coaching victories.

The Saints went 1-2 in three games played in the Fiesta Bowl Classic in Tempe, Arizona. Seward County then returned to conference play on Wednesday at home with a 71-64 victory over Barton. Mario Whitley scored a team-high 20 points and the Saints held Barton to 32.4 percent shooting and only three 3-pointers in the victory at the Greenhouse.

The Blue Dragons have won the last six games played against Seward County, sweeping the season series last season. The Dragons won 81-66 on January 8, 2022 in Liberal and completed the sweep with a 73-59 win over the Saints on Feb. 16, 2022 at the Sports Arena.

🏀 MBB: Blue Dragons get first look at Saints

The Hutchinson Community College women's basketball team had a successful return from the holiday break with a decisive victory on Wednesday at Northwest Tech.

Now the Blue Dragons square off against rival Seward County on Saturday in the first home game for Hutchinson since December 12. Tipoff at the Hutchinson Sports Arena is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. The game will be streamed live on the Blue Dragon Sports Network and will be broadcast live on Blue Dragon flagship station KHUT-FM (102.9) beginning at 5:15 p.m.

One of the top rivalries in the Jayhawk Conference renews itself, but does so with a rare occurrence. For only the second time since the 2006-07 season, neither the Blue Dragons nor the Saints are ranked in the NJCAA Top 25. The only other time that has happened was the first meeting last season when the Blue Dragons were receiving votes and the Saints were unranked.

The Blue Dragons improved to 12-4 overall and 6-4 in the KJCCC on Wednesday when Hutchinson made the long trip to Northwest Tech and defeated the Mavericks 81-52.

The Dragons just missed shooting 50 percent for the game (49.2) and had balanced scoring with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/wbkb/2022-23/bios/williams_mya_wx3b">Mya Williams</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/wbkb/2022-23/bios/duffy_monae_4kqq">Monae Duffy</a>scoring 16 points each and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bluedragonsports.com/sports/wbkb/2022-23/bios/armstead_journey_v4yx">Journey Armstead</a>&nbsp;adding 15 points. The Blue Dragons had another stellar defensive effort, holding the Mavericks to 35 percent shooting and forcing 21 turnovers.

Also on Wednesday, Williams joined both the Blue Dragon career Top 10 for points scored (908) and 3-pointers (121). She is currently 10th in both career categories.

Seward County is a very un-Saints-like 9-7 so far this season, but are in third place in the KJCCC with a 7-3 league record. Seward County dropped a 60-57 decision to second-place Barton on Wednesday in Liberal. Kylee Hunt led the Saints with 17 points.

The Saints have played a rugged non-conference schedule, dropping games against Odessa and New Mexico on opening weekend. The Saints also lost to No. 6 Trinity Valley, but defeated defending national champion Tyler at Tyler on New Year's Day.

This matchup between Hutchinson and Seward County will be the 100th in a series history that dates back to 1977. The Saints hold a 50-49 series lead.

🏀 WBB: Blue Dragons prep for battle vs rival Saint

HUTCHINSON, Kan.:&nbsp;(Transcript from KWBW Sports)&nbsp;7:10am on BW Radio,&nbsp;&nbsp;Craig Porter Jr returned to form with 19 points but the Wichita State Shockers fell 7261 to shooting Cincinnati last night at Charles Kock Arena in the AAC regular season matchup between the schools. The Shockers dropped to 7-8 and 0 and 3 in the American. They committed just two turnovers but managed just four assists on 22 baskets. Cincinnati, 11 and 5 overall 2 and 1 in the league. They had 13 threes on 44.8% accuracy. So they lived by the three last night winning over Wichita State 72-61.

The game between Buffalo and Cincinnati that was so pivotal for AFC playoff positioning has been canceled. So that's going to affect the Kansas City Chiefs potentially if both Buffalo and Kansas City win in their final games of the season and then they eventually get to the AFC championship game. 

Well, that AFC championship game would be at a neutral site if it was between either Buffalo and Kansas City or Cincinnati in Kansas City. And the fact that Buffalo and Cincinnati didn't finish their game would have determined who was home field advantage. If that's the case, then neither team will be. But for the Chiefs, it's important for them just to take care of business against the Raiders this weekend. 

Coverage tomorrow begins at 2 pm here on BW. 

Both the Hutch High basketball teams are back on the hardwood tonight after the holiday break as they are at home against Maize South. Coverage begins on BW at 5:45 pm with Glen Grunwald and Dan Naccarato with the girls Game first with the boys game to follow from the SAC. 

And just to clarify, because of the Chiefs coverage on Saturday, BW will have the Chiefs games of Country102.9 will be where you can find the Hutchinson Community College basketball games as they entertain Seward at the sports Arena on Saturday night at 5:30 and 7:30 pm.

🎙 📰 Eagle Media Sports for Friday Morning

Michael Dexter Galloway, born March 17, 1955, died suddenly December 29, 2022, at the age of 67.

Mike was the firstborn to E. Dexter Galloway and Patricia Joan Griffin. He was preceded in death by both parents and a sister, Bonnie Galloway.

Survivors include: his constant companion and loving wife, Florence Marie Galloway; brother, Jim Galloway; sister, Jan Galloway McEndree; and numerous adopted children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

Mike served in the United States Navy. After graduating from Hutchinson Community College, learning everything he could about robotics, Mike ultimately taught the class. His passions included MUSIC, magic, fishing, observing wildlife from his man cave, plants, dogs, puzzles, and witty jokes – and he was great at them all. For the past three years, Mike gave back to the Paralyzed Veterans of America, specifically the Mid-America Chapter, serving as secretary. Needless to say, he lived life to the fullest.

A Celebration of Life is planned for Mike’s 68th&nbsp;birthday weekend, March 17-19, in Hutchinson. The exact date and time will be announced later.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Paralyzed Veterans of America, Mid-America Chapter, 6108 NW 63rd&nbsp;St. Warr Acres, OK 73122, or in care of Elliott Mortuary, 1219 N. Main, Hutchinson, KS 67501.

Shirley Ann Clark Chalmers |1927-2023|

HUTCHINSON, Kan. —&nbsp;A local Hutchinson woman is bringing her passion for American Sign Language to her community, with a sign language study group on Jan. 7. &nbsp;

“I usually try to host them twice a month and I recently just started doing it,” Sarah Dunbar, the sign language&nbsp;group instructor, said. &nbsp;“It hasn't been going on for a long time, it's something that I kind of just caught an interest in because I know some people who wanted to learn sign. I was like sure, it's a great way to make some friends and teach people sign language, so I recently just started doing it like within the last month.” &nbsp;

Dunbar, a sign language interpreter at Morgan Elementary School in Hutchinson, discovered her passion for sign language while in high school. &nbsp;

“I took all four years of sign language in high school and since then it's always been my dream to be an interpreter, and so this year, I actually got offered the position for interpreter for deaf&nbsp;children at Morgan Elementary,” Dunbar said. “I attended a church that had a few deaf&nbsp;people in it, so I've seen the language for a long time, and so when I got in high school it started out as an extracurricular that&nbsp;they offer. Then after the first year I was in it, I&nbsp;was like, ‘this is a beautiful language.’ It really is and it connects you with people that you never thought you would connect with.”&nbsp;

Some of what Dunbar does as a sign language interpreter,&nbsp;includes checking hearing aids and signing for students in the classroom.&nbsp;

Dunbar expressed&nbsp;more schools should have American Sign Language as an elective.&nbsp;

“Even now at&nbsp;27 years-old, I never forgot about the language so it does stick with you,” Dunbar said. “There's a lot of people that want to learn new languages and I feel like sign language isn't at the top of the list, and now since I’ve become an interpreter, I have seen that more and more people are like, ‘I've always wanted to learn that,’ so I dare think it is beneficial for it to be in schools.”&nbsp;

Dunbar believes knowing sign language helps people build&nbsp;friendships and understanding with the deaf community.&nbsp;

“I know&nbsp;deaf people who I only see once or twice a year and they still remember me,” Dunbar said. “They don't forget who you are because it's such an unlearned language, that it takes a lot of practice and it takes a lot of time. I think that it would benefit the community because more people would realize how great of a community it actually is.” &nbsp;

 Dunbar’s sign language group used to operate on a closed lesson basis, but in order to reach more people and because she wants to see how large her group can get,&nbsp;she has been hosting open lessons.&nbsp;

“There's nothing in Hutchinson that I'm aware of that has signed groups for free,&nbsp;or just people that get together and want to learn a new language unless you go to college for it,” Dunbar said. “I just thought maybe this would be a great way to hopefully get a big class of people to learn about this community.”&nbsp;

Due to how small it is, Dunbar currently holds her sign group at her home. However, she hopes in the future it will grow big enough to rent a building somewhere in Hutchinson to host larger&nbsp;groups.&nbsp;

People interested in joining Sarah Dunbar’s American Sign Language study group can reach out to her on Facebook either through the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/487631296774495" target="_blank">event page</a> or her <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100007181408482" target="_blank">personal account</a>. &nbsp;

Dunbar said she is still workshopping on how to improve her sign language group, but her aspirations are to hopefully see more people helping the deaf people in the community, while inspiring people to&nbsp;take the time to learn American Sign Language.&nbsp;

Sarah Dunbar’s sign language group is on Saturday, Jan. 7 and will run from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. &nbsp;

 </figure>JUDD WEIL Hutch PostHUTCHINSON, Kan. —&nbsp;A local Hutchinson woman is bringing her passion for American Sign Language to her community, with a sign language study group on Jan. 7. &nbsp;“I usually try to host them twice a month and I recently just started doing it,” Sarah Dunbar, the sign language&nbsp;group instructor, said. &nbsp;“It hasn't been going on for a long time, it's something that I kind of just caught an interest in because I know some people who wanted to learn sign. I was like sure, it's a great way to make some friends and teach people sign language, so I recently just started doing it like within the last month.” &nbsp;Dunbar, a sign language interpreter at Morgan Elementary School in Hutchinson, discovered her passion for sign language while in high school. &nbsp;“I took all four years of sign language in high school and since then it's always been my dream to be an interpreter, and so this year, I actually got offered the position for interpreter for deaf&nbsp;children at Morgan Elementary,” Dunbar said. “I attended a church that had a few deaf&nbsp;people in it, so I've seen the language for a long time, and so when I got in high school it started out as an extracurricular that&nbsp;they offer. Then after the first year I was in it, I&nbsp;was like, ‘this is a beautiful language.’ It really is and it connects you with people that you never thought you would connect with.”&nbsp;Some of what Dunbar does as a sign language interpreter,&nbsp;includes checking hearing aids and signing for students in the classroom.&nbsp;Dunbar expressed&nbsp;more schools should have American Sign Language as an elective.&nbsp;“Even now at&nbsp;27 years-old, I never forgot about the language so it does stick with you,” Dunbar said. “There's a lot of people that want to learn new languages and I feel like sign language isn't at the top of the list, and now since I’ve become an interpreter, I have seen that more and more people are like, ‘I've always wanted to learn that,’ so I dare think it is beneficial for it to be in schools.”&nbsp;Dunbar believes knowing sign language helps people build&nbsp;friendships and understanding with the deaf community.&nbsp;“I know&nbsp;deaf people who I only see once or twice a year and they still remember me,” Dunbar said. “They don't forget who you are because it's such an unlearned language, that it takes a lot of practice and it takes a lot of time. I think that it would benefit the community because more people would realize how great of a community it actually is.” &nbsp; Dunbar’s sign language group used to operate on a closed lesson basis, but in order to reach more people and because she wants to see how large her group can get,&nbsp;she has been hosting open lessons.&nbsp;“There's nothing in Hutchinson that I'm aware of that has signed groups for free,&nbsp;or just people that get together and want to learn a new language unless you go to college for it,” Dunbar said. “I just thought maybe this would be a great way to hopefully get a big class of people to learn about this community.”&nbsp;Due to how small it is, Dunbar currently holds her sign group at her home.
