WELCOME
Ask the Administration.... If you had to delete every app on your phone but one, what one would you keep? “I would keep the app Sound Hound. I use it in stores and while listening to the radio to help identify songs, artists and album info.” - Rex Cheever Research Coordinator
“I would have to keep the Messages app. With my family running in different directions most of the time, texting is a way to stay connected. A Bible verse from my husband, a note that my son will be home next weekend or that practice will run late today - it’s thoughtful and practical. Just a short ‘Love you’ or ‘How’s your day?’ can let the others know they’re on my mind.” - Dr. Tricia Paramore Professor and Department Four Chairperson “I would keep my mail app. It allows me to stay connected and get work done while not at my desk or in my office. Plus I can delete unwanted/junk emails that seem to fill up the inbox.” - Josh Gooch Athletic Director

L A V I T S E F HUSKING Colleen Teter, Student Reporter for Dragon’s Tale Magazine Excerpts from original article published in October 2019 edition
For the very first time, the Hutchinson Community College Agriculture program gathered the community together for a Corn Husking Festival. The community, students, and everyone in between were able to join in on the merriment created by corn. Kent McKinnis, Agronomy Instructor and Head of Operations for the festival, said, “We had the idea last year; we watched a video in one of my classes. There’s a 1930s video of a corn husking contest in Nebraska and it was like the super bowl.”
Katelyn Wilt, Abbyville, competes in the competition.
On Sept. 26, the Blue Dragon Corn Husking Festival began with live music, free hamburgers and hotdogs cooking, and games like cornhole to play.
Pat Arkfeld, Assistant Livestock Judging Coach and Cowherd Manager, hosted an open house for viewing the college-sale heifers and gave tractor tours of the south campus farm. McKinnis and Arkfeld said a goal for the
festival was to get people out to see the farm on South Campus, but the corn husking contest would be the main event. The contest began with 10 teams of two people. The goal was to dehusk as much corn as possible in the allotted time. At the end of the evening, Team Canada, Master Austin, and Corn Belters received plaques as evidence of their superior husking skills. The winners, Corn Belters, consisted of alumnus Colton Biehler, previous crops and soil judging team member, and Tim Evans, Career Development Coordinator at HutchCC. It was a close competition, but they were victorious with a score of 57 ears of corn. Team Corn Belters were complete strangers until that day. McKinnis hopes to make this event an annual tradition for HutchCC and the community. The festival was sponsored in part with a grant from the Hutchinson Community Foundation, as well as RCB Bank and Central Prairie Co-op.
Team Corn Belters accept their awards from Ben Williams (center) for their first place finish in the husking competition.

the Pre-Trip Inspection and driving examination to receive a Class A Commercial Drivers License (CDL). The course is held on two consecutive Saturdays. The first session of this course prepares students to test for an Instructional Permit at a Division of Motor Vehicle (DMV) location of the students’ choice. Upon successful completion of the classroom portion of the course, students will complete their required “drive time” with a Hutchinson Community College driving instructor using college owned tractor-trailer equipment. The college is also a state authorized testing location for the driving exam. Students can take their exam by appointment following their training and the cost for their driving exam and the initial (10) hours of practice “drive time” are included in the course tuition and fees.
The American Trucking Association (ATA) predicts over the next decade there will be a shortage of truck drivers. While this shortage will certainly present challenges, it will also create opportunities. Truck driving is a very lucrative career. And according to the ATA, trucking freight volumes are expected to grow 35% by 2029. Since around 1990, Hutchinson Community College has offered a Commercial Drivers License (CDL) course intended to prepare students for a career as a truck driver. The current training format, which started in 2007, has seen more than 1,200 students enroll. The program is designed to ensure students can successfully take both the written test to acquire the CDL driving instructional permit and

Award-winning journalist and best-selling author Kathleen Koch visited HutchCC’s Newspaper Production class and shared her insights on covering the September 11 terrorist attacks as well as the impact of Hurricane Harvey on her hometown in Louisiana. Kathleen drew on her 18 years as a correspondent for CNN, where she not only covered the White House, Pentagon, Capitol Hill and the State Department, but aviation and just about every disaster imaginable. Her work covering Hurricane Katrina and her two documentaries on her hometown’s recovery from the storm earned her a Peabody Award and a New York Festivals gold medal.
Writer, producer and director Blair Hayes paid a visit to HutchCC’s Media Production classes during the fall semester. From his first production, “Bubble Boy”, to his latest, “Great Plains”, Hayes has directed ten full-length films, including seven on Lifetime and three Hallmark movies. Hayes spoke to students about challenges he has faced and how he has been able to persevere.
The Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) awarded HutchCC a $50,000 grant to develop a powered haulage training module, including virtual reality simulation, that will focus on powered haulageblind spot safety and workplace examinations.

STUDENT DINING CENTER GROUNDBREAKING
In perhaps one of the most progressive action items in recent years, the Hutchinson Community College Board of Trustees, at its June 2019 meeting, approved plans for an extensive renovation of the student dining facility in the Parker Student Union. Plans include construction of a new kitchen and expansion and renovation of the existing dining facility. In addition, improvements will be made to the Blue Dragon Room, Nunemaker Room and the lower level student recreation area. Construction began in October with the goal of completing it by the start of the 2020-21 school year. A ceremonial groundbreaking was held on October 24, 2019.
SUMMER BOOTCAMPS
To provide high schoolers and prospective students the opportunity to explore a couple of exciting career paths, Hutchinson Community College hosted a pair of boot camps during the summer of 2019. HutchCC instructors in the fields of Computer Networking and Multimedia Communications led attendees through hands-on activities to provide a snapshot of these promising career fields. Participants in the Cyber Warrior Camp learned basic terminology, router configuration, and techniques for splicing different cable types. Shake the Fake News Camp students worked on composing different media pieces while on a deadline, then competed in a journalism competition. Both camps also held panel discussions with local industry leaders. The camps were sponsored in part by a grant from Westar Energy/Evergy.

ATHLETIC UPDATES A victory over Independence on October 26 gave Hu t c h i n s o n head coach Patrick Hall his 200th coaching win with the Blue Dragons. Now in his eighth season, Hall is 201-105 at Hutchinson. He joins Ronda Shirley and Becky Endicott as Hutch volleyball coaches with 200 wins.
H e a d football coach Rion Rhoades is now the second winningest c o a c h in Blue Dragon history after notching his 98th win on November 9 versus Iowa Central. Rhoades trails just Charles Sesher, who won 115 games over 21 seasons.
Hutchinson Community College sophomore cross country runners Andrew Kibet and Sylvestre Kibarar cemented a successful Blue Dragon legacy at the 2019 NJCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. Both Blue Dragon runners placed in the Top 10 and helped the Blue Dragon men to a second-straight national Top 10 finish with a seventhplace showing. After winning the NJCAA individual championship as a freshman Kibet became the first Blue Dragon in team history to become a two-time NJCAA AllAmerican with a fourth-place performance. Kibarar became the second Blue Dragon to be a two-time All-American with a seventh-place showing. Hutchinson finished in the Top 10 for the 16th time in team history. The Blue Dragons were seventh last season as well. For just the third time since 1963, the Hutchinson Community College football team placed four players on the NJCAA All-America team. Defensive tackle Latrell Bankston and defensive back Ronald Williams were named first-team All-Americans, while defensive end Kirmari Gainous and offensive lineman Jazston Turnetine were named to the second team. With the four players selected to the 2019 All-America teams, Blue Dragon football under head coach Rion Rhoades has produced 26 All-Americans in 13 seasons, including 11 firstteam selections. The 2019 Blue Dragons posted the seventh 10-win season in program history this season, going 10-2. The Dragons finished on a strong note with a 45-23 win over No. 18 Monroe in the Salt City Bowl. The Blue Dragons finished the 2019 season with their highest final national ranking in program history at No. 3.
