Kansas hydraulics manufacturing plant to close this week

Posted on
Eaton facility in Reno County- google image

RENO COUNTY — After the announcement earlier this year that Eaton would close down its Hutchinson hydraulics facility, the end has come.

After slowly depleting its workforce over the past several months, the plant will cease operations on Thursday, according to Eaton Spokesperson Kelly Jasko.

The company’s first staff reductions started in May.  By the end of the week, all employees will be finished with production.

Jasko said that there will be a small crew left on board to decommission the facility over the next several months.

The shutdown of the plant comes 10-years after an all-out effort by the city of Hutchinson and the state of Kansas to provide a $3 million incentive package for the company to stay.

While Eaton did keep the Hutchinson plant open at that time, it moved a number of jobs out of the facility.

The company announced in January that the closing was the result of the ongoing declines in key markets and demand for the products made at the facility.

The facility manufactured components that go into piston and gear pumps for use in mobile and industrial hydraulic applications primarily served the construction and agriculture markets. Since 2013, agricultural equipment production has declined 21 percent and construction equipment production has declined 16 percent.

Kansas City area neighborhoods recover from weekend flooding

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Some Kansas City area neighborhoods are recovering after weekend storms flooded some streets.

The Kansas City Star reports that the Kansas City, Kansas, Fire Department responded to multiple vehicles caught in high water after downpours moved through the area late Sunday morning, dumping up to 3 inches in some areas.

Mike Wilson was among the people wading through knee-deep water in one Kansas City, Kansas, neighborhood after he was told that his trailer had been inundated. Wilson said, “I didn’t think it was going to be this bad.”

Police in nearby Merriam reported that there was a lot of water across the city’s streets. Police urged drivers on Twitter to “Be safe, turn around and don’t drown.”

Shelby Cramb, a sixth grader at Maize Middle School, died during a lake party sponsored by Pathway Church, according to the church social media account.

“We cannot fully express our regret for this horrific accident, and while we know that Shelby is now in Heaven with Jesus, it does not diminish the pain of losing her.”

The girl’s body was found Sunday afternoon. Wichita Fire Department Interim Chief Tammy Snow says the search began several hours earlier after the child’s parents came to pick up the youth from the party.

Emergency and fire crews searched the shoreline and found the body about 10 feet from shore and 10 feet under water.

On Monday at 6:30p.m., the church will hold a special prayer meeting for friends and family at the Westlink Campus Pathway Church Westlink, 2001 N Maize Rd, Wichita to lift up her parents, Andy and Joanna, and her younger brother, Gavin as they deal with this crisis.

Harvey could have deep impact on oil, US economy

Posted on

HOUSTON —Massive flooding caused by Harvey along Texas’ refinery-rich coast could have long-standing and far-reaching consequences for the state’s oil and gas industry and the larger U.S. economy.

The storm’s remnants left much of Houston underwater on Sunday, and the National Weather Service says it’s not over yet: Some parts of Houston and its suburbs could end up with as much as 50 inches (1.3 meters) of rain.

With the heavy rain expected to last for days, it’s still unclear how bad the damage will be, but there is already evidence of widespread losses.

Key oil and gas facilities along the Texas Gulf Coast have temporarily shut down, and flooding in the Houston and Beaumont areas could seriously pinch gasoline supplies. Experts believe gasoline prices could increase as much as 25 cents a gallon.
