MANHATTAN - The <a href="https://www.bgclubmanhattan.com/">Boys and Girls Club of Manhattan</a>'s annual Duck Dash Fundraiser raises money to support programming for the children who come to the club.

"We generally raise about $35,000 with our Duck Dash event, which really helps us to put on our fall programming. We have about 1,800 kids coming every day and so that makes it possible to have great staff and supplies to implement some programs." Boys &amp; Girls Club of Manhattan, CEO, Hannah Coash says.

The winning duck entry won the lease of a new Chevy Colorado, which was sponsored by Briggs Auto.

"We like to try and give back to everyone who has already given back to everything else we've got a lot of great stuff going on, especially the Boys &amp; Girls Club, the Flint Hills Discovery Center, and everything else, so it's kind of our saying thank you and appreciation." Kent Briggs says.&nbsp;

This year's winner of the Duck Dash was Tori Brown, who bought ducks for the first time. Brown was contacted about being a winner, as she was not present at the drawing..

"DJ Dan Michaels, he and I, we've been friends forever, and he called me on Facebook and then he messaged me that I won the truck. It was just kind of a crazy deal." Tori says.

Tori says she plans to drive the truck to her real estate showings and take a few road trips as part of celebrating winning the use of the truck.

"It was a good week. I got married the same week, I won the truck, I closed my first real estate deal, so it was all a good week so that was just icing on a good week." Tori says.

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran was in Salina this morning to help Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus announce the largest corporate gift to an academic program in K-State history.

The $10 million gift from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems will enable K-State Salina to create the General Atomics Aerospace Innovation Ramp, a first in the campus's aerospace history. 

Headquartered in San Diego, General Atomics is the world leader in unmanned aerial systems. The company invents and pioneers modern solutions in a variety of areas, including military, security, governance, and environmental operations, according to information on the company's website.

The announcement was the first of a number of announcements to occur over the next several years concerning changes to make K-State Salina one of the premier learning spaces in the country for aerospace education, according to K-State Salina Dean Alysia Starkey. 

"For the last three years, the campus has been conversing with industry partners to determine future workforce needs and working to adjust programmatic offerings for the aerospace needs of the future. The new campus master plan and planned developments will anchor the teaching and research activities of the new aerospace programs in the years to come," K-State Salina noted in a news release.

"There's always a huge challenge to attract talent into this very technically complex business," said Linden Blue, General Atomics CEO. "We're competing within the country. We're competing worldwide. So it's a great pleasure to be a part of Kansas State and what you're trying to do here for the aviation industry."

Since 2017, K-State Salina and General Atomics "have collaborated on projects focused on advancing the aerospace industry," the news release noted.

Moran said that the idea that came about several years ago had become much more significant.

"Significant for K-State Salina, significant for Kansas State, but most important to all of us, significant to this State of Kansas, and our nation," Moran said. "Kansas State University, when it is doing well, the State of Kansas does well. The good news here is today that Kansas State University, and particularly K-State Salina, is advancing a cause that will be significantly changing the nature of opportunities for people here at this institution."

The innovation ramp will encompass the southernmost portion of the K-State Salina campus and transform its footprint, revitalizing land that was home to the former Schilling Air Force Base, Starkey said. The innovation ramp will include the area west of Scanlan Avenue and north of Beechcraft Road. 

K-State Salina's campus master plan calls for this space to eventually also be home to the Kansas Advanced Simulation Center, the K-State Salina Advanced Air Mobility Center of Excellence, Aviation Maintenance Training Center, Advanced Composites Lab and a state-of-the-art engineering teaching facility and model factory, according to information from K-State Salina.

RILEY COUNTY - Around 5:45 a.m. Wednesday morning, firefighters with Riley County Fire District #1 were called out to a structure fire in the 2700 block of West 60th Avenue, west of Manhattan.

Fifteen volunteer firefighters attacked the fire and were able to gain control and extinguish it within 15 minutes of arriving on scene.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, damage is estimated at $75,000.

There were no injuries reported with the fire, however, several chickens, ducks, and geese died in the fire.

MANHATTAN - Kansas State University has received another pledged donation to the College of Agriculture's new facilities.

The Kansas Soybean Commission has pledged $4M to support the planned innovation centers for grain, food, animal and agronomy research.

"Investing in our state's land-grant university fits right into the checkoff's mission because we are investing in the future of agriculture," said Ron Ohlde, Kansas Soybean Commission chairman. "Modernizing K-State College of Agriculture facilities opens so many opportunities to be competitive in the agricultural industry and increase collaboration among key industry leaders." "Building innovative new facilities for the K-State College of Agriculture helps to secure our place as a leading agricultural institution," said Kaleb Little, Kansas Soybean CEO and administrator. "K-State agriculture students are the next generation of industry leaders, and the Kansas Soybean Commission supports investing in facilities to match their talent level. We are proud to join with the other agriculture organizations across the state in supporting these important efforts." "I want to personally thank the Kansas Soybean Commission for their investment in the future of Kansas agriculture," said Ernie Minton, dean of the College of Agriculture and director of K-State Research and Extension. "The impact of our innovation centers will resonate across Kansas's agricultural industry as the opportunities and challenges we face are increasingly complex. Our vision for these facilities is to bring the best minds to the table with different skills and knowledge to collaborate, integrate and develop new solutions and products — and prepare the next-generation workforce needed to move agriculture forward."&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Global agriculture is facing many challenges — changing environment, growing population, costly inputs — and K-State faculty and students working with industry partners are working to find solutions," said Richard Linton, president of Kansas State University. "This investment in new facilities and technology at K-State from the Kansas Soybean Commission demonstrates the importance of university-industry partnership to advance agriculture for a changing world."

Kansas State University is a leader in global agriculture, with the investment, the university and industry partners will use the donations to have a greater impact.&nbsp;
