Saline County Jail Bookings, Sept. 25

In this episode of King in the Community, host Nate King sits down with Joe Hay Jr., the Saline County Board of Commissioners chairman, to discuss his journey into local government and the critical issues facing Saline County.

Joe recounts how his journey in local politics began with a surprising twist during a city commission race, where a coin flip determined the outcome of a tied election. Despite losing after a recount, his dedication and commitment to local government remained strong, leading him to attend city commission meetings and eventually win a seat. 

His efforts later propelled him to run for county commissioner, where he now serves as chairman.&nbsp;

The conversation touches on water quality concerns at Sundowner West, the challenges of road maintenance, and future projects like the city-county facilities study. 

Joe also recalls his personal connection to the <a href="https://salinapost.com/posts/483b0b08-dfd2-4a94-bf83-c32a8d989c29">late Patrolman Jerry Ivey</a>.

Tune in for an insightful discussion on local governance and the efforts to improve the quality of life for Saline County residents.

🎙King in the Community — Joe Hay Jr., Saline County Board of Commissioners Chairman

Hello and happy Tuesday, everybody, it’s Tyler Henry, back with another KINA Sports Update presented by Salina Regional Orthopedic and Sports Medicine…

On Monday, news broke out of the NFL that Derwin James Jr. of the Los Angeles Chargers has been suspended without pay for one game for repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players, including during this Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

NFL Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan issued the suspension for a violation of Rule 12, Section 2, Article 10 (a) which states that “it is a foul if a player lowers his head and makes forcible contact with his helmet against an opponent.”

James will be eligible to return to the Chargers’ active roster on Monday, Sept. 30, following the team’s Sept. 29 game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Staying in Kansas City, the Royals will be on the road for the rest of the regular season, opening a three-game series at Washington this evening before travelling to Atlanta later this week.

Earlier this week, the Cleveland Guardians secured the AL Central crown, punching one of the first tickets to this year’s MLB playoffs

The Royals, who have lost a league-worst seven straight games are currently tied with the Tigers for the ALs second Wild Card spot, and only a game ahead of the Twins.

And finally, don’t miss all the latest scores and highlights from schools in our area, head on over to Twitter and give us a follow @Spostsports for more.

910 KINA Sports Headlines — September 24

The Salina Art Center is excited to announce the opening of three dynamic exhibitions: Ann Resnick: Tell Me What You Think of Me, Part One: Something to Divine (West Gallery), bARBER: Smile, porque nos pasó (South Gallery), and James Kinser &amp; Niki Grangruth: Muse (East Gallery). 

The exhibitions will be on view from Sept. 25 through Dec. 29, 2024, offering a range of perspectives on identity, perception and self-reflection.

The Salina Art Center will host a reception for Ann Resnick on Friday, Sept. 27, from 5 to 7 p.m. at 242 S. Santa Fe Ave., celebrating the opening of Tell Me What You Think of Me, Part One: Something to Divine. The reception is free and open to the public, providing an opportunity to meet the artist, explore the exhibition and engage in conversations about the artwork. All gallery spaces will remain free and open throughout the exhibition’s run.

Curated by Ksenya Gurshtein, Resnick’s latest works explore the art of scrying, inviting viewers to interpret abstract, large-scale spray-painted images created from hand-drawn stencils. Visitors are encouraged to reflect on how personal perception shapes meaning, fostering both introspective and communal dialogue.

During the reception, guests will also have the opportunity to participate in interactive activities, including tarot readings, Myers-Briggs personality tests and handwriting sample submissions for a larger project. A custom survey station will be available for visitors to share their thoughts on the exhibition’s themes, contributing to a full-scale project set for 2026. Refreshments and drinks will be provided.

Mark your calendars for additional upcoming exhibition receptions: bARBER on Oct. 9 and Muse on Nov. 8.

SALINA, Kansas (AP) — A JetBlue flight from New York to San Diego landed safely in Kansas after the crew received an alert about smoke in the cargo area, authorities said. The airline said it turned out to be a false alarm.

Flight 1189, with about 130 people on board, departed Kennedy International Airport at about 4 p.m. Saturday and was headed to San Diego International Airport.

The Airbus A320 landed at Salina Regional Airport in Kansas around 6:30 p.m. local time. The Federal Aviation Administration said it will investigate.

No injuries were reported, and the local fire department helped people off the plane.

“The pilot came on and let us know that he was seeing an alert for smoke in the cargo bay,” said passenger Seth Odell,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/jetblue-flight-makes-emergency-landing-smoke-detected-cockpit-rcna172141">NBC News reported</a>. “Some passengers did report hearing a loud bang, too, and so we descended incredibly rapidly and landed in the extremely small airport in Salina.”

Odell said people were starting to “freak out.”

“Some people were crying. It was a little bit intense for a few minutes,” he said.

JetBlue said in a statement that the plane landed without incident.

"Upon inspection, we determined the smoke indication presented to our pilots was a false indication,” the statement said.

Jetblue flight makes emergency landing in Salina after false alarm

Saline County Sheriff's Deputies responded to a road rage incident on Saturday afternoon after a suspect reportedly brandished a gun and allegedly shot at a Concordia couple.&nbsp;

According to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan, at approximately 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21 a couple from Concordia merged onto I-135 northbound at the Schilling Road exit when a black pickup truck, driven by 34-year-old Nicholas Osbourn of Solomon, began tailgating them. 

"Osbourn went to pass the couple in the vehicle. They didn't realize he was. They both came up to ramp together," Soldan said. "Osbourn attempted to pass, immediately after leaving the ramp but there was another vehicle in the lane. So they [Concordia couple] switched lanes, and Osbourne thought they cut him off.

 Osbourn began following the couple closely. He then passed their vehicle, brandished a .22 caliber revolver, and discharged the firearm multiple times out of the back window of his truck, according to a statement from the couple. 

According to Soldan no bullets made contact with the victims' vehicle.&nbsp;

The couple, fearing for their safety, pulled over at Milepost 95. Osbourn also stopped, got out of his truck, and began walking toward the couple. In response, the couple put their vehicle in reverse, against the flow of I-135 traffic, to avoid confrontation.

At this point, another couple driving along the interstate noticed and stopped to assist. 

"Osbourn told the second couple that he had 'shot at some people' but wasn’t sure if he had hit them," Soldan said.&nbsp;

Sheriff's Deputies including officers from the Salina Police Department, quickly arrived on the scene. Osbourn, who had returned to his truck, was arrested without further incident. He faces charges of two counts of aggravated assault, criminal discharge of a firearm on a public roadway, reckless driving, and unlawfully being a pedestrian on the interstate.

A Salina woman lost $16,000 in a gift card scam after scammers falsely claimed her financial accounts were linked to money laundering, according to Salina Police Department (SPD) Captain James Feldman.

The 76 year old woman contacted the SPD on September 20, explaining that she had initially received an email from someone posing as a representative of the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Department of Investigations. The scammer told her that her checking account and credit cards were tied to money laundering, and to resolve the issue, she needed to buy gift cards.

"A store clerk team told her it was a scam, but she believed that it had occurred, and so she went through with it," Feldman said.&nbsp;

The woman continued with the purchase of gift cards totaling $9,000 and $7,000 charged to a credit card. The scammer then had her provide the card numbers, allowing them to steal the funds.

Captain Feldman emphasized the importance of being mindful of ongoing scams.

 “No government agency, including the FTC, will ever ask for gift cards as a form of payment,” Feldman said. 

As the holiday season approaches, SPD urges residents to stay alert and report any suspicious activity immediately. Be cautious of unsolicited requests for money or gift cards, as they are common tactics used by scammers.

NWS three day weather forecast, CoCoRahs 24-hour rain totals

Corn harvest is ramping up across Kansas and while every field will be different, reports from across the state range from better than expected to a great crop. Prices, however, are just ugly. As the calendar marches toward October, soybean harvest and wheat planting will make already crowded schedules even busier.

In Finney County, Kyle Deaver had started shelling dryland corn. Irrigated fields are still ripening but soybeans are getting close to being harvest ready. Rain showers were a welcome benefit last week that will help with wheat planting.

Deaver believes the corn crop in his area will have a solid, average year, but it’s “a lower price than I’d like to see,” he says. Corn prices have been trending down since topping $8 a bushel in 2022, and they’ve fallen about 60 cents a bushel since the beginning of the year. It’s now hovering just above $4 as harvest rolls though Kansas.

On the eastern side of the state, Ottawa Coop’s Waverly location manager Mike Beying said a rain would still help soybeans in the field and he’d welcome a slowdown in corn harvest to free up some more storage.

“Space is tight,” he says. “When the corn is coming, it’s coming fast.”

Beying says his location has received corn from four counties so far, and some of those loads were around 250 bushels per acre, significantly above the usual target of 130 to 140 bushels per acre for the area.

“We’ll be above that average in a lot of places,” Beying says. “It just depends on where the rain happened to fall.”

The rain didn’t fall on the fields of Marion County farmer Nick Peters. He reported there was no measurable rain in his area from July 3 to Aug. 13. For the second straight year, a lack of moisture meant the corn died early and Peters finished up harvest earlier than usual.

“If there had been any type of moisture then it could have really made a difference,” he says. “It was better than last year. It wasn’t our best crop, but it was better than we thought it was going to be. Considering all the factors, we’re happy.”

Peters says he’s staying busy with spraying and waiting for soybeans to dry down for harvest. He’s hopeful for some moisture to help with wheat drilling and to give a boost to his double crop beans.

“Prices are a little rough right now,” Peters says. “Overall, we definitely could be worse off. We’ll survive and advance.”

The eternal optimism of farmers never ceases to amaze me. A better than expected harvest after six weeks of no rain isn’t easy to deal with. And the excitement from a bumper crop is still dampened by low prices. It’s a testament to the faith growers have in the weather, markets and their own ability to look beyond today’s results and believe tomorrow’s will be better. Whether corn harvest is just starting or already wrapped up, one thing’s for certain. There’s always next year.

910 KINA Sports Headlines — September 23

The Salina community is gearing up for the inaugural Guns and Hoses Pickleball Tournament set to take place on September 28, 2024, at Oakdale Park.&nbsp;

Participants must register by 11:59 p.m. today September 23, and entry fees will be collected on the tournament day. To register <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12uaNruc5T5VeYHZGPfOloUeb2GBzud8iJeLczTOGmUk/viewform?fbclid=IwY2xjawFeS_FleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHd-iRiO-Rq48tsF4GQYy7BBVIS8iu_4X3L6JryBp2-f4dziI3eoo2mBM5g_aem_72d68b1WpikID5H8HkRiaA&amp;edit_requested=true">click here</a>.&nbsp;

Guns and Hoses is a 501(c)(3) organization comprised of firefighters, law enforcement officers, and deputies. This year marks the first year the organization will host a pickleball tournament. 

The event is organized to support young Tate Flax and his ongoing battle with Dravet Syndrome. Tate, who will be two years old in October, was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome after genetic testing revealed a mutation in his SCN1A gene. This severe form of epilepsy has caused him to experience frequent, hard-to-treat seizures, leading his family on regular trips to Kansas City for medical treatment, including a recent surgery trip in June for a Vagus Nerve Stimulation implant.

The tournament features a lineup of men’s doubles, women’s doubles, mixed doubles, and a beginner category, ensuring opportunities for players of all skill levels. Registration fees are set at $20 for participants 16 and older, and $10 for those under 16, with all proceeds going towards supporting Tate's medical and travel expenses.

The event starts at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, with teams competing in pool play to establish rankings for the single elimination bracket. Each team is assured at least three pool play games and one bracket game. Pool play matches are set to 15 points, requiring a win by two, while bracket games are best two out of three, played to 11 points, also requiring a win by two.

Teams will use Rock-Paper Scissors to decide the initial serve or court side. Self-officiating is expected, with the tournament director having the final say in disputes.

Saline County Sheriff Deputy Lt. Mike Ascher and&nbsp;SFD Division Chief Andrew Sprague stopped by the 910 KINA radio Studio&nbsp; to share more about the event during the Saturday Morning Show on Sept. 21.

Ascher said in years past the organization hosted a friendly football competition between SFD and Saline County Sheriff's Office and SPD. The COVID-19 Pandemic caused the game to be canceled for 2020 and 2021, but why pickleball?

"It's just becoming so popular. I mean, there's YouTube channels, there's channels on TV that you can just watch pickleball tournaments," Sprague said. "It's fun to play if you've never played it. I tell you what it's not tennis, it's not racquetball, but it's a mixture. And it really is a blast."

 </figure>By SALINA POSTThe Salina community is gearing up for the inaugural Guns and Hoses Pickleball Tournament set to take place on September 28, 2024, at Oakdale Park.&nbsp;Participants must register by 11:59 p.m. today September 23, and entry fees will be collected on the tournament day. To register <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/12uaNruc5T5VeYHZGPfOloUeb2GBzud8iJeLczTOGmUk/viewform?fbclid=IwY2xjawFeS_FleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHd-iRiO-Rq48tsF4GQYy7BBVIS8iu_4X3L6JryBp2-f4dziI3eoo2mBM5g_aem_72d68b1WpikID5H8HkRiaA&amp;edit_requested=true">click here</a>.&nbsp;Guns and Hoses is a 501(c)(3) organization comprised of firefighters, law enforcement officers, and deputies. This year marks the first year the organization will host a pickleball tournament. The event is organized to support young Tate Flax and his ongoing battle with Dravet Syndrome. Tate, who will be two years old in October, was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome after genetic testing revealed a mutation in his SCN1A gene. This severe form of epilepsy has caused him to experience frequent, hard-to-treat seizures, leading his family on regular trips to Kansas City for medical treatment, including a recent surgery trip in June for a Vagus Nerve Stimulation implant.The tournament features a lineup of men’s doubles, women’s doubles, mixed doubles, and a beginner category, ensuring opportunities for players of all skill levels. Registration fees are set at $20 for participants 16 and older, and $10 for those under 16, with all proceeds going towards supporting Tate's medical and travel expenses.The event starts at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, with teams competing in pool play to establish rankings for the single elimination bracket. Each team is assured at least three pool play games and one bracket game. Pool play matches are set to 15 points, requiring a win by two, while bracket games are best two out of three, played to 11 points, also requiring a win by two.Teams will use Rock-Paper Scissors to decide the initial serve or court side. Self-officiating is expected, with the tournament director having the final say in disputes. All games will adhere to the USA Pickleball Official Rulebook, available for reference at the <a href="https://usapickleball.org/">USA Pickleball website</a>.Prizes include $100 per team for winners in the men’s, women’s, and mixed doubles categories, and $50 for the beginner division champions.The event is sponsored by Oral Facial and Implant Surgery&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090527923120&amp;__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">785 Aesthetic Med Spa</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/rescuespecialists?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Rescue Specialists</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088234921780&amp;__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">The Cellar Wine &amp; Whiskey Bar </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jriusa?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">JRI Hospitality</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/greatplainsmfg?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Great Plains Manufacturing</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/PECsalina?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Precision Electrical Contractors LLC</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/SalinaFirefighters?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Salina Professional Firefighters Local #782</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090213062808&amp;__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Salina Urology Associates PA</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/JeffWellsAgency?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Jeff Wells Agency, Inc. - American Family Insurance</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/heritagesalina?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Heritage Real Estate Advisors LLC</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100054609933038&amp;__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">First Alarm Heating &amp; Cooling</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/iveylocksmith?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Ivey Locksmith and Security</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/messengerclothingco?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Messenger Clothing Company</a>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/homewoodsuitesbyhiltonsalinadowntown?__cft__[0]=AZXqkPn_T-bz6ByRwmg87ZcoRRglckLLPTnlOT0RBVYLzOI40vlRIAN12BcOVvO8nKVngeP991ozdOI8au7JIHNsPfUJNQWBIoJF12k9YGf-iw6TrWyEhm_f9yfWiFDdug6k1TLA-DmD8JU4ejjBnRoQjX0_s1DNM0Fw-mFs2KecjghaMKZiWahJI-bc7ltXqK8&amp;__tn__=-]K-R">Homewood Suites by Hilton Salina Downtown</a> Southern Heights Properties&nbsp;&nbsp;Saline County Sheriff Deputy Lt.
