Hutchinson Youth City Council reviewed plans for a Cow Creek cleanup and drive for supplies for unhoused young adults during its Thursday night meeting.

The Cow Creek cleanup will be from 7 to 9 a.m. on June 7, with volunteers meeting at Wisdom in Motion, 314 W. 1st Ave., for breakfast before beginning cleanup. Council member Maddylynn Mosley said a previous creek cleanup was satisfying to help with. Based on the experience of the previous cleanup, council members recommended volunteers wear or bring:

  • Mud boots
  • Waterproof gloves
  • Shorts
  • Clothes that volunteers are OK with getting muddy

The supply drive will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 27 at the Avenue A Park Building, collecting summer supplies for unhoused young adults. Council members suggested donating items like:

  • Sunscreen
  • Warm-weather clothes
  • Toiletries and hygiene products
  • Gatorade and bottled water
  • Nonperishable food items
  • Diapers and baby wipes
  • Flashlights and batteries

Council member Maggie Mosley said donors who bring five or more items will be entered in a door prize drawing.

Council Vice President Katilynn Holtz said it looks like the need will be greater this summer than last year.

The council also voted to have a study session at a date to be determined about having donation drives in response to emergencies such as tornadoes and fires.

Council to seek youth feedback on logo update

Inspired by the City of Hutchinson working on updating its logo, the Youth City Council is exploring redesigning its own logo. Council members have submitted a few concepts for a new logo, and will have those at Third Thursday in June to collect feedback from youths in Hutchinson. They also hope to collect feedback at the NAACP Youth’s Juneteenth celebration. Both events are June 19.

PLEVNA – Plevna resident David Green watched the weather worsen into severe thunderstorms and eventually an EF-3 tornado late Saturday night, something he didn’t expect to do that day. 

Green is the pastor of Plevna Community Bible Church and is a member of the Plevna City Council. He said he never expected to have to set off the tornado sirens and also didn’t want to cry wolf by sirening too early. He added he and another Plevna council member decided to set off the tornado sirens.

“We had a very long notice,” Green said. “It was heading right our way the whole time. It just kept coming. When we saw that it was 30 minutes out we decided to set off the sirens.”

“Thankfully, Ty kept doing it,” Green said. “The fact it kept going, that’s when they needed to get to shelter.”

After the sirens began going off, Green said he was in the church’s basement with about 20 other people. He also ran to his home, right next to the church, to wake his wife and children to get them to shelter. 

“We got down to the basement and huddled in place. I heard a loud crash upstairs and got smacked with some insulation,” Green said. “We could feel the pressure in our ears.”

Even while the tornado ripped through the town, Green said the event only felt like “it lasted two seconds.”

“If it was any slower, a lot of the houses would have been gone,” Green said. 

The tornado moved at around 35 mph on its course, originally forming near Greensburg. Greensburg experienced a devastating tornado of its own in 2007 when an EF-5 tornado reduced much of the town to rubble. 

Green said he had friends who lived in Greensburg at the time of their tornado. He said he learned valuable advice from them that he was able to use during Plevna’s tornado. 

“One thing they emphasized as the first thing you need to do is grab shoes,” Green said.

The tornado late Saturday night saw no injuries or deaths, something Green calls “miraculous.” He said a large factor into the safety of Plevna residents was the extended warning about the possibility and then reality of a tornado.

“That was really helpful. It saved a lot of lives,” Green said. “This is a kind of storm that would’ve killed everyone in the 1900s without warning. It was in the middle of the night”

After the weather had settled, Green left the church basement and saw his house had been completely lost, one of the few buildings in the town that saw complete destruction. Other homes had significant damages and others had minimal damage. 

Then began the cleanup. 

“There’s been an army of people who have helped us,” Green said. “An army of skid-steers and people with chain saws, that was amazing. There’s been a lot of help out here.”

Those affected by the tornado are able to grab essential supplies in what is temporarily called the “grocery store.” Residents are able to grab food, water, toiletries and other items to help them rebuild and regroup without charge. Three meals a day are also offered for free. 

Other ways of helping the city of Plevna have also begun. Rhonda Schaffter owns and operates The Village Place in Arlington. She lives two miles away from Plevna. She said she wasn’t able to hear the tornado, despite devastating weather wrecking only two miles away from her home.

The only damage she suffered were a few downed tree limbs. The first day the salon was open after the tornado, Schaffter said her first client wanted to help those in Plevna. 

“There’s a lot of Venmo going on, but we had clients who wanted to donate,” Schaffter said. “There’s a lot of elderly people who live there. There’s a list on Facebook of a bunch of people and the families who have been affected. I keep hearing more and more people who have been affected by it and it’s crazy.”

A donation box at The Village Place, an Arlington salon, is available for donors to help out with the Plevna recovery. CREDIT MICHAEL GLENN/THE HUTCHINSON TRIBUNE

Schaffter started a donation box for those who enter the salon who wish to help out. Schaffter said the box will be given to someone to disperse the funds to Plevna residents. 

In an interview Thursday afternoon, Green was raking his backyard near the church with around 20 people helping at the scene. A former marine, Green said a few of his fellow marines were what he called “preppers,” those who prepared for the worst at all times. 

“A number of my fellow marines talked about a ‘go’ bag. I always kind of mocked them, but now I see the wisdom of that. It took me a day to find a pair of socks,” Green said.

Green encouraged all people to have a “go” bag full of at least two to three days worth of essential items in the case of a disaster or emergency.

By Ben Godina

The Flag Theatre on Main Street has been owned and operated by the Family Community Theater since 1992. In 1993, FCT began renovations to turn the then movie theater into a stage suited for live theater. While many aspects of the theater have been changed, worked on and painted over, the bathrooms in the lobby have largely stayed the same and untouched since at least 1995.

After renovating the main lobby during the complications of COVID-19, the Board of Directors realized the old bathroom facilities did not meet the standards of the rest of the Flag and, in 2023, began formulating a plan for phase two. In 2024, a bid of just over $100,000 was accepted, and renovation was supposed to begin in February 2025, right after the conclusion of FCT’s Nemo on stage. However, renovations were not able to begin until the beginning of April.

“We’re right now looking forward to patrons, volunteers and actors feeling more comfortable with more privacy,” said Craig Williams, President of the Board of Directors of FCT, about the ongoing renovations to the three bathrooms in the Flag’s main lobby. The nearest to the main doors is the A.D.A. accessible/family restroom, which is receiving all new appliances, toilets, and sinks, new floor tiling, and a new changing station for easy access for families with babies.

The male and female bathrooms are receiving mirror designs with the exception of urinals in the men’s room. The old restrooms only had two usable facilities and one sink, while the new design adds an additional stall to each bathroom and an additional sink. The new layout will also provide more room for easier maneuvering and an overall more comfortable experience. In addition to modernizing the bathrooms themselves, they are also getting a visual overhaul to better match the new lobby’s Art Deco style. While the old posters of previously performed plays and musicals that used to adorn the bathrooms of the Flag had a special charm to them, the new styling will provide a modern interpretation of classic designs that is bound to impress all ages.

The payment of these renovations was a concern for FCT, as they didn’t want to borrow much money to complete the project. However, FCT held a Gala fundraiser at the Cosmosphere last year, and according to Mr. Williams, they were able to raise around one-third of the necessary funds and thus were able to move forward. You may notice some new faces on the mural of characters lining the walls of FCT, as these were options bought at the Gala. Among these new characters painted by Beck Wells are those of Mary Poppins and FCT board Member Mary Kay Dechant. The rest of the money was taken from various grants, loans, and donations, with FCT hoping to raise the money they owe back with another Gala being hosted on August 5.

The renovations are hoping to be done by June 10, nine days before FCT performs “M*A*S*H,” a stage adaptation of the classic movie and TV series, from June 19-22, and in plenty of time for the performances of “Shrek the Musical” in July. Craig Williams eloquently explained the renovations’ hopes and purpose: “Those attending the theatre expect to have attractive and efficient restroom facilities. They want to be able to meet their needs quickly and privately. An inviting and attractive restroom certainly will bring new appreciation and enjoyment to those attending shows at the Flag Theatre.”

UPDATE: The Reno County Coroner’s Office has informed the Hutchinson Fire Department of the identity of the deceased in the commercial fire that occurred Tuesday morning at 8:00 a.m.

The victim has been identified as Bret Fallis, a resident of Hutchinson. Firefighters discovered Mr. Fallis in one of the impacted storage units when they responded to the alarm. The exact cause of death has not been released at this time.

The Hutchinson Fire Department has completed its investigation into the fire’s origins. The fire originated in the unit where Mr. Fallis was present. After investigation, the fire’s cause was
determined to be improper discarding of smoking materials, igniting combustible materials in the storage unit.


The Hutchinson Fire Department responded to a commercial structure fire located at 4th Ave. and Bonebrake St. shortly after 8:00 a.m. Tuesday.

The Hutchinson Police Department had already arrived on the scene and reported visible smoke. Upon arrival, initial fire units discovered that one of eight storage facilities, each measuring 30′ by 220′, was filled with smoke. Fire crews were required to forcibly enter several compartments of the storage unit, cutting numerous locks and doors. Crews initiated an aggressive attack on four units actively involved in the fire.

While extinguishing the flames, crews unfortunately discovered one fatality in a unit where the individual appeared to be residing. The Hutchinson Fire Department’s Fire Marshal is currently investigating the cause of the fire. Concurrently, the Reno County Coroner’s Medical Investigator is examining the cause of death and working on identifying the deceased. The property owner has been informed and will notify the affected storage unit tenants.

Crews will remain on site for several hours this morning. The building sustained moderate damage to four units, and 75% of the remaining units suffered smoke damage. No firefighter injuries have been reported. Notifications to the deceased’s family will be made following positive identification.

The Hutchinson City Council approved a zone change from a R-3 Moderate Density Residential District to a R-5 High Density Residential District for a 14-acre site located at the northeast corner of 36th Avenue and Monroe Street Tuesday night at its regular meeting.

This rezoning case number ZA25-04 was tabled at the May 6 council meeting. Director of Community Development Matthew Williams presented two updates to the council since the May 6 meeting. 

The first update was in regard to the revised ordinance, which includes a protective overlay that limits the permitted uses to single-family residential only. The second update was a tentative layout that proposes lots that range from 6,500 square feet to 20,000 square feet. It also proposes two access points to the neighborhood that would exit to the west on Monroe.

Williams told council what the platting process looks like for the property moving forward. A platting process is the dividing of land into smaller parcels for the development or sale of the land. 

“What we are looking at here is really just kind of a concept of a lot layout,” Williams said. “With tentative utilities, the actual plat that the applicant would need to go through. There is a preliminary plat and a final plat that would be a drawing similar to this but have much more detail. Grading contours, existing trees, buildings, proposed utilities, lot sizes. You know information about the proposed streets and all the infrastructure. That would come to planning commission. The planning commission would review that. Our subdivision regulations have very strict requirements for all of those things. It would go to planning commission where the public could speak on it. The final plat would then come. Sometimes it’s that night. Sometimes the final plat comes later and then the planning commission would make a recommendation to city council. This would come back for your vote.”

Councilmember Jon Richardson asked Williams what the drainage off of the property will look like. 

“If the zoning were to be approved then the applicant’s engineer would likely move forward with the plating process,” Williams said. “They would reach out to our engineers. We need to see a drainage plan that indicates where the drainage would go. Our engineers would look at that and approve that. I believe last time they indicated the drainage would be just south of that first street and drain to the east where the neighborhood to the east has an existing drainage ditch.” 

Mayor Stacy Goss asked how a Home Owners Association (HOA) would factor into the platting process. 

“If there is an HOA, during the planning process we would indicate that on the plat,” Williams said. “That would be pursued by the developer. If there were a covenant that went along with that some of that language would go on the plat.” 

Goss also said that one of her concerns regarding the future development of the site is the driveways that are coming off of Monroe. She said the driveways are narrow. 

“I think the goal would be to avoid cars stacking onto Monroe as they are entering on into the property,” Goss said. 

The applicant of the underdeveloped site is Gilbert Properties LLC. The applicant’s engineer is Garver LLC. Kenneth Lee, agent for Garver LLC, clarified to council that there is one more step after the final plat is approved before pulling permits. 

Lee said the infrastructure design will take place after the final plat.

”So what we’ll do with that is we’ll typically work with the City of Hutch,” Lee said.” They are going to be requesting special assessments on this so we would do the engineering design. The city would actually be the owner of that project and we would do the design plan. So it would be constructed and then the owners of the lot would agree to pay those specials over time. That’s another opportunity for the city to make sure that are design does meet the requirements for the city.”

The next Hutchinson City Council meeting is on Tuesday, June 3 at 5:30 p.m. in Hutchinson City Hall, located at 125 East Ave B.
