Agiliti deepens roots in Hays with purchase of local manufacturing campus

By JOHN P. TRETBAR Eagle Media

The traditional link between rig activity and energy production has weakened recently, with output at record highs despite reduced rig counts. A government report offers two reasons, from different sides of the ledger. Operators are getting more efficient at producing with fewer rigs, and they're reining in resources due to low prices. Production is through the roof, with weekly records now commonplace. The average number of active rigs per month has declined steadily from a recent peak of 750 rigs in December 2022 to 517 rigs this October.

The tallies from Baker Hughes this week increased three oil rigs, and dropped by three gas rigs, for a total of 549 active drilling rigs nationwide. The counts in Oklahoma and North Dakota were each down one, Louisiana was up one, and New Mexico was up two rigs.

Some movement of rigs, but not of the rig count, in Kansas. Independent Oil and Gas reports eight active drilling rigs in eastern Kansas, up four from last week, and nine rigs west of Wichita, which is down four. The total is unchanged for the week and the month, but down 43 percent from a year ago. Drilling was underway or about to begin Friday on leases in Ellis and Finney counties.

Independent Oil and Gas Service lists producing wells in Ellis, Russell and Stafford Counties out of 18 well completions west of Wichita.&nbsp; Also on the list are a pair of wells in Gove County and one in Haskell County.

Regulators okayed eleven new drilling permit locations across Kansas, 598 so far this year. Last year at this time there were 985 new drilling locations approved. There are five new permits in eastern Kansas, and six in the western half of the state, including one in Ellis County and two in Gove county.

For the last five weeks, crude-oil production in the United States has exceeded 13.6 million barrels a day, and all but one of those weeks set a record. This week, output is over 13.8 million, rising a startling 211,000 barrels a day from last week's all-time high. Four-week average production is just under 13.7 million barrels a day, up 100,000 daily barrels from the previous record set last week.

Inventories rose 6.4 million barrels to more than 427 million as of November 7th. EIA reports stockpiles remain 2.2 million barrels lower than a year ago, and are four percent below the five-year seasonal average. Crude imports are down more than ten percent from a week ago at 5.2 million barrels per day. Crude exports dropped by nearly half to 2.8 million.

The Supreme Court in New Mexico could soon determine if its residents have a constitutional right to pollution control. The high court will hear an appeal brought by environmental, youth and activist groups, who argue that oil and gas permitting, alongside a failure to enforce pollution laws, violates the so-called pollution control clause of the state constitution. That clause was added by voters as an amendment in 1971.

The previous government in Canada proposed a cap on greenhouse gas pollution in the oil and gas sector, hoping to drop emissions to 35% compared to 2019. The new government is now hinting it will scrap the cap, which opponents said would actually cap ALL oil and gas output. The Climate Competitiveness Strategy in the nation's new budget proposal would instead prioritize effective carbon markets, enhanced methane regulations, and new technology.

Governments across Europe and the Middle East are rushing to ensure the sprawling oil operations of Russian energy giant Lukoil can keep running when US sanctions kick in.&nbsp; The U.S. Treasury nixed a deal to acquire the company's worldwide assets by what the government calls the Kremlin's puppet.

Ellis County Sheriff's activity log: Nov. 9-15, 2025

By TONY GUERRERO Hays Post

Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab was in Hays Thursday to discuss the 2026 election cycle.

Schwab stopped by the Eagle Media Center for an interview with Hays Post. He highlighted the removal of the state's three-day grace period for mailed ballots and voter rolls.

"It used to be as long as the ballot was postmarked by Election Day, it could show up three days late because most mail leaves the state before it comes back," Schwab said.

He said that with the grace period eliminated, ballots must now be received by 7 p.m. on Election Day to be counted, encouraging voters to plan ahead and use county drop boxes rather than mailing their ballots.

<a href="https://apnews.com/article/supreme-court-mail-ballot-deadline-mississippi-198789b582ac14fdee18a12bbd73e166">The Associated Press reported that on Monday</a>, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take up a case to decide whether states can continue counting mail ballots that arrive after Election Day.

The justices will hear an appeal from Mississippi after a panel of judges ruled last year that the state’s law allowing ballots to be counted if they arrive shortly after Election Day <a href="https://apnews.com/article/mississippi-absentee-ballot-voting-d65b943c27e9e7c5247dc2c14d3dbb15">violates federal law</a>.

Schwab said the court’s decision could have national implications and that voters will need to be more diligent. Regardless, he says voters should not give their ballots to the federal government.

"Why would you put it in the post office for it to leave your community, when you can put it in that drop box by the administrative center here in Ellis County?" he said. "It's handled by your neighbors, friends, people you go to curch with and work with. I don't think it's really that much of an impingement."

Schwab emphasized security and stability ahead of next year’s election to ensure the voting process is consistent and voter rolls remain accurate.

He said the state recently received, for the first time in a decade, a list of deceased individuals from the Social Security Administration to help identify and remove ineligible voters.

"I can delete a name if someone asks me to, if they're dead, a felon, a non-citizen with proof of that, or if they're an inactive voter for over two presidential election cycles," Schwab said.

Aside from the end of the three-day grace period, Schwab said the goal for 2026 is to avoid significant changes to the election. He added that while 20 to 30 election bills are typically introduced each legislative session, few are ever passed.

In January, <a href="https://x.com/ScottSchwabKS/status/1876974001836134483?s=20">Schwab announced his gubernatorial campaign on X</a>, pledging to cut property taxes, block China from purchasing land near military bases and restore conservative values in Topeka.

· Fresh turkeys: Buy 1–2 days before cooking and keep refrigerated on a tray to catch drips. Do not buy fresh pre-stuffed turkeys—they can harbor bacteria.

· Frozen turkeys: Keep frozen until ready to thaw. Best quality within one year.

· Frozen pre-stuffed turkeys: Must display the USDA or State inspection mark. Do not thaw before cooking—cook from frozen and follow package directions. Allow 1¼ pounds per person.

1. Refrigerator (40 °F or below): Allow 24 hours per 4–5 pounds.

· 20–24 lbs: 5–6 days Can stay refrigerated 1–2 days after thawing.

2. Cold Water: Allow 30 minutes per pound. Change water every 30 minutes. Cook immediately after thawing.

3. Microwave: Follow the microwave’s manual for size, power, and time. Cook immediately after thawing—do not refreeze or refrigerate.

· Place turkey on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

· Stuffing is safest cooked separately to ensure even heating. If stuffing the turkey, fill loosely and cook immediately. Stuffing must reach 165 °F.

· A whole turkey is safe when the innermost thigh, wing, and thickest breast reach 165 °F.

· Let turkey rest 20 minutes before carving.

Approximate Cooking Times (Unstuffed, 325 °F):

If cooking from frozen, allow at least 50% longer.

· Tuck wing tips under shoulders for even cooking.

· Use a foil tent for the first 1–1½ hours to prevent overbrowning.

What began as an unexpected opportunity quickly became a calling as Krystan Stinemetz now leads a Hays school dedicated to nurturing young minds.

Owner Stinemetz of The Learning Academy first entered the child care field through her catering business, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EatSleepDreamCheese/">Grater&nbsp;Whey</a>, which provided meals to several local child care centers. Before long, the academy’s founder, Crystal Lonsdale, approached her with a chance at something new.

"That's kind of how I became the owner of a preschool. It just all kind of fell together in a weird way," Stinmetz said.

The academy operates out of the Hadley Center, 205 E. 7th St., and plans to reopen its Via Christi site in early spring, bringing its total licensed capacity to 48 children.

Stinemetz said the Hadley location currently serves 12 children, with another 12 spots available.

Stinemetz manages the administrative and operational side of the business, while Lonsdale oversees the classroom. The academy serves children ages 2 1/2 to 5, with drop-off beginning at 6:30 a.m. and pick-up available until 5:45 p.m.

Stinemetz said she’s been in the child care industry for just two years and that navigating licensing and setup over the past year has been challenging as she works to make child care more affordable for local families.

"That really became one of my main focuses. Now that we are set up to really focus on being a community asset," she said.

Stinemetz said she’s offering discounts to employees of HaysMed, High Plains Mental Health Center, the City of Hays and other first responders to boost enrollment and reduce costs for families.

The academy also employs three part-time staff members who assist with child care. Its play-based curriculum focuses on social and emotional development, as screen time is nearly nonexistent at the center.

"We've taken the use of devices completely out. It really is back to basic learning where they're physically writing their name versus on a tablet," Stinmetz said.

Stinemetz said the academy also plans to offer summer care for school-age children.

Originally from Colorado, Stinemetz moved to Hays about 10 years ago and is a mother of five. She said she was both surprised and honored to be named October’s Child Care Champion.

"It's been very difficult to get going. I feel like it's slowly starting to become a full circle," she said. "We have a great program and I'm glad that somebody recognized that we can be part of this community and help however we need to."

Family Worship: Fret Not - Psalm 37:1

By BECKY KISER Hays Post

Economic development incentive requests approved by the Hays City Commission Thursday will help move forward several housing and business developments.

 Commissioners approved the issue of industrial revenue bonds for the 24/7 Travel Store truck stop planned for the Interstate 70 Exit 157.

The city commission has already created a tax increment financing district on the property. The developer, Triplett, Salina, will also request a community improvement district from the city in the future.

Most of Hays' general fund operations are financed by the local retail sales tax.&nbsp;

The project cost is about $11.1 million, with estimated annual retail sales of $5 million and fuel sales of $20 million.&nbsp;

The issuance of industrial revenue bonds was also approved for Agiliti Hays, the medical equipment manufacturer on south Commerce Parkway, which plans to buy, renovate and expand its campus buildings.

A total 140 new jobs would be added in phases to the current 91 positions. The company also has a site in Ellis which employs about 60 people and will remain open.

The estimated sales tax benefit is $101,036. Utilization of the industrial revenue bonds, which have no taxpayer commitment, also&nbsp;allows a property tax abatement for up to 10 years for the $6.55-million project.&nbsp;

During a public hearing, Eddie Herrman, HaysMed president and CEO, talked about how the hospital would have a closer partnership with Agiliti as it begins building medical beds.&nbsp;

Larry Askew, based in Kansas City with Agiliti, said the company had many options nationwide in locating a new manufacturing facility.

"All of the incentives that we have sought and are acquiring with the state are all performance-based," Askew said.

"This is not an attempt at a grab or to do anything other than grow organically in a very healthy way in the community."&nbsp;

"Regarding the abatements and benefits we're giving up, there's so much economic benefit that we are gaining through this expansion with Agiliti to our own communities, that it's very valuable," said Alaina Cunningham, commissioner.

"When companies look at whether they want to bring retail into this town, they look at how many jobs are here, how many houses are being built," said Commissioner Reese Barrick.

"These are families coming in. It's going to affect our schools' growth. I think this is a huge win."

A Reinvestment Housing Incentive District (RHID)  was approved for the former Lincoln School, 1906 Ash.

The incentive district would finance the project on a pay-as-you-go basis over 25 years, estimated to generate $1.3 million in incremental property tax revenues collected on the project site. Eligible project costs are estimated to be about $4.3 million.

Hays developer Michael Graham plans to renovate the building into a 26-unit multi-family housing facility and to construct seven additional structures on the property, each with four units.&nbsp;

Graham was at the meeting and thanked the city commissioners for their support.&nbsp;

Other agenda items approved by the commission included

• Concurrence with a bid solicited from the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) for construction of the north side multi-use path from 41st and Hall east to Sternberg Museum. The&nbsp;low bid came from Morgan Brothers of La Crosse for $1.6 million.&nbsp;The city will pay $387,000, and KDOT will pay the remaining $1.2 million.

• Financing of a Midwest Energy utilities agreement for the Tallgrass Phase 4 housing development in east Hays. The city earlier agreed to finance infrastructure costs. The total amount is $797,457 to be funded with bond proceeds offset by Reinvestment Housing Incentive District revenues.

• Approved the renewal of the Blue Cross Blue Shield health plan for city employees in 2026. The premium increase was 12.8%, below the national average, said Erin Giebler, human resources director.&nbsp;

• Presentation of awards to city employees for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years of service.&nbsp;

Christmas Choir Concert set for Dec. 7

By STACY CAMPBELL Cottonwood Extension District

Beneficial rains have brought much-needed moisture to the Kansas wheat crop. However, the moisture can also trigger winter annual weeds, especially in fields with poor wheat stands or where continuous wheat or wheat-fallow rotations are used.

Like wheat, winter annual grasses typically emerge in the fall (although early spring emergence is possible). They go dormant during the coldest months, then resume growth and produce seeds in the spring. 

The weedy brome species cheatgrass (also known as downy brome), Japanese brome, and cheat are among the grass weeds most commonly found in Kansas wheat. Jointed goatgrass and feral rye are also prevalent and are especially challenging to control. Cheat and feral rye are typically found in the eastern parts of the state, whereas cheatgrass and jointed goatgrass are more often found in the west. 

For specific information about postemergence herbicides for controlling winter annual grasses, refer to the K-State Agronomy eUpdate electronic newsletter by typing that into your internet browser.

Considerations for Herbicide Applications

As a general rule, fall applications will provide better control of these weeds than spring applications. However, it is important to remember that weeds must be actively growing for herbicides to be effective. Be aware of the temperatures in your area to ensure weeds are not dormant. One temperature guideline to consider using is low temperatures above freezing and high temperatures above 50°F for three to five days before and after the application. 

Delaying applications until spring, when herbicide can be mixed with topdress fertilizer, is an option, although this can lead to greater yield loss due to competition and reduced herbicide efficacy. Furthermore, spring applications may not meet crop rotation intervals. Always read the herbicide label to determine recropping intervals and adjuvant requirements. The growth stage is also important when applying several of these herbicides.

Other Options: Crop Rotation and Seed Destruction

Crop rotation is an effective method of preventing winter annual weeds in wheat. One or more summer annual crops between wheat crops disrupts the life cycle of winter annual weeds, allowing for the use of other cultural and chemical methods for their control. Narrower row spacings or increased wheat seeding rates can make wheat more competitive with weeds.

In dry environments, seeding wheat deeper into moist soil may allow wheat to emerge before weedy brome seeds that must germinate from dry soil nearer the soil surface. Alternatively, delaying planting until after the first flush of weedy grasses has emerged may also be an effective cultural management practice when moisture is abundant.

Seed destruction of some winter annual grasses (cheatgrass, feral rye, and jointed goatgrass) at wheat harvest may be a viable option to reduce the amount of weed seed that returns to the soil&nbsp;seedbank, which may reduce the density of winter annual grasses in the following seasons. More information on harvest weed seed destruction can be found at: <a href="https://eupdate.agronomy.ksu.edu/article/harvest-weed-seed-destruction-a-tool-for-managing-herbicide-resistant-weeds-601-1">https://eupdate.agronomy.ksu.edu/article/harvest-weed-seed-destruction-a-tool-for-managing-herbicide-resistant-weeds-601-1</a>

Several effective options exist to control weedy brome species. Jointed goatgrass and feral rye control options are more limited and will likely require planting either a Clearfield or CoAXium wheat variety. In fields where winter annual grasses are known to be a problem, cultural practices can be implemented to reduce their impact, such as using an herbicide-resistant wheat variety or rotating to a summer crop.
