Your Stories Q&A: Any plans to redevelop the old Club 37 in Salina?
Viewer Question: Club 37 in Salina has been sitting empty for years. Are there any plans to tear down the old club and redevelop the property?
Club 37, off Route 11, near the Salina/Clay border, has been closed for over 20 years. Before it shuttered, it was the place to be seen on Friday nights.
Many of our viewers have great memories, spending time at the nightclub in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
Now, the once hot spot has become an eyesore of a vacant lot.
The club is still standing, but it can be hard to see from Route 11 because of the overgrown bushes. Those bushes block the building and the graffiti that's been painted on the exterior.
The viewer who asked the question was hopeful there was a plan for redeveloping the run-down piece of property, seeing how just a few doors down, the vacant Ponderosa was recently renovated. That building is now the new home of the Daily Diner.
There are no plans for redevelopment on the radar. For years, the property has been listed for lease or sale by Pavia Real Estate.
Dominic Pavia told NewsChannel 9, there's been interest over the years, but no deal has made it across the finish line.
He said the property is currently available for redevelopment.
In the event a deal is made in the future, the old Club 37 will be demolished for new construction.
We'll keep tabs on this property and let you know if there are any developments on redevelopment.

Social Security cuts aren't the biggest threat to your retirement
If you've been following the news on Social Security, you may have heard recently that the program is even closer to potentially having to cut benefits. And unfortunately, that's not just a rumor. The most recent Social Security Trustees report contained a pretty dire update. The program's combined trust funds are expected to be depleted by 2034. Once that happens, Social Security may have to cut benefits to the tune of 19%, leaving retirees with just 81% of the monthly checks they'd normally be entitled to. If you're still working, you might assume that not being able to collect your Social Security benefits in full could seriously upend your retirement. But there's another factor that could cause you even more financial pain once your career comes to an end. This mistake could cost you more than Social Security cuts Clearly, the idea of losing 19% of your future Social Security checks is scary. But if you don't save decently for retirement, you could end up in an even scarier situation. One thing to realize about Social Security is that even if benefits are not cut, they'll still only replace about 40% of your pre-retirement wages, assuming you earn a pretty typical salary. Now it's true that retirees can often get by on less money than they needed when they were working. But the general rule of thumb is to expect to need 70% to 80% of your former income in retirement — not 40%. For some context, the typical Social Security recipient today gets about $2,000 a month. If you're a higher earner, you might get more. But either way, you cannot expect those monthly benefits to cover all of your retirement needs — not even close. So if you don't make an effort to save for retirement, you could end up in a truly bad spot even if Social Security doesn't end up cutting benefits at all. And to be clear, it's possible that Social Security won't have to move forward with benefit cuts. Though the program's finances are in trouble, lawmakers can look at different ways to avoid a sweeping reduction in benefits. At that point, though, it'll still be on you to help ensure that you don't end up struggling. Relying on Social Security alone is not a good idea, no matter what happens with it. Slow and steady wins the race The idea of building a sizable retirement nest egg might seem daunting. But if you give yourself plenty of time to do it, you may be surprised at how seamlessly those 401(k) or IRA contributions fit into your budget. Imagine you start saving for retirement at age 30, contributing $300 a month. If your portfolio gives you an 8% yearly return, which is a bit below the stock market's average, then by age 65, you could be sitting on about $620,000. Now, let's say you want to limit your withdrawals from savings to 4% per year, which is what experts have long recommended. That gives you about $25,000 of income, which is a nice supplement to your Social Security and a nice cushion against benefit cuts if they do come to be. It's too soon to know what will happen as far as Social Security cuts are concerned. But even if lawmakers can prevent them, you need extra retirement income — period. The sooner you begin saving, the more confident you should feel that you'll be able to cover your financial needs in the future. The Motley Fool has a disclosure policy.

IRS expands public awareness on IP PIN renewals, Amicus issues calendarized tax-season identity plan
Vancouver, Canada — The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has expanded its nationwide campaign to encourage taxpayers to renew and use Identity Protection Personal Identification Numbers, known as IP PINs, as the 2026 filing approaches. The six-digit number, designed to prevent identity thieves from filing fraudulent returns, must be renewed annually and linked to a taxpayer's Social Security number before electronic filing. Amicus International Consulting has announced a new calendarized tax-season identity plan, designed to help families, small businesses, and independent professionals build fraud-prevention habits across the entire year. The IRS's focus on IP PIN renewals is a response to persistent tax-related identity theft. Each year, criminals exploit stolen Social Security numbers to file fraudulent returns early in the season, often before legitimate taxpayers file. Without IP PINs, many victims only discover fraud when their e-filed return is rejected or when they receive IRS notices of suspicious activity. The agency's latest outreach underscores the importance of renewing IP PINs on time and safeguarding them from misuse. Amicus emphasizes that while IP PINs are powerful tools, they are only effective when combined with organized documentation and proactive filing habits. The firm's calendarized plan breaks the year into manageable steps, ensuring taxpayers avoid missed renewals, filing delays, and preventable fraud. Why IP PINs are essential in today's environment An IP PIN is a six-digit number that adds a second layer of authentication to federal tax returns. Unlike a password that can be guessed or a Social Security number that can be stolen, an IP PIN changes annually and is tied directly to IRS systems. Fraudulent returns filed without the correct IP PIN are automatically rejected. This protects refunds, blocks improper credits, and reduces audit-triggering errors. The IRS initially offered IP PINs only to confirmed victims of identity theft. The program has since expanded, and all taxpayers may now opt in. Amicus recommends adoption for individuals in high-risk categories, including seniors, divorced spouses navigating joint returns, frequent movers, self-employed contractors, and military families. IRS's expanded awareness campaign The IRS's new awareness push is multifaceted. It includes direct mail notices reminding taxpayers of renewal deadlines, expanded digital education through partnerships with libraries and community centers, and targeted messaging to prior victims of fraud. The agency stresses that IP PINs are never issued via email, text, or unsolicited calls, a safeguard meant to reduce phishing. Taxpayers are urged to treat any such communications as scams. The campaign also highlights that failure to renew can disrupt filings. If a return is submitted without the correct IP PIN, the IRS will reject it. Taxpayers must then wait for re-issuance, delaying refunds and creating stress during peak filing season. The Amicus calendarized tax-season identity plan Amicus International Consulting has developed a comprehensive framework that integrates IP PIN renewals into a household or business's annual calendar. The plan aligns identity protection with the rhythms of tax preparation, making fraud prevention a matter of habit rather than crisis management. January: Renewal and organization Taxpayers confirm IP PIN renewal status, update IRS addresses if they have moved, and store renewal letters in secure folders. Families are advised to create both physical and digital binders for all tax-related documents, including PIN notices, W-2s, 1099s, and receipts. February: Verification and preparation Credit reports should be checked for inconsistencies. Taxpayers must confirm that their renewed IP PIN has been correctly linked to their IRS record. Preparers, accountants, or tax software systems should be updated with the correct number. March: Fraud checks and monitoring Applicants log into IRS accounts to review transcripts and ensure no fraudulent activity has occurred. Families run credit monitoring scans or dark-web checks for leaked Social Security numbers. Any anomalies are addressed before filing. April: Filing early Taxpayers are advised to file as soon as all required forms are received. Filing early reduces the window for criminals to submit fraudulent returns. Families double-check that the return includes the IP PIN. May–July: Post-filing confirmation Refund status is tracked through Taxpayers log refund receipts and retain electronic acknowledgments. Monitoring continues for unusual IRS notices that could indicate attempted fraud. August–October: Reflection and review Households review what worked and what didn't. Families assess whether filing was smooth, refunds were timely, and fraud alerts were avoided. Processes are refined, and new habits are documented. November–December: Pre-season readiness Families prepare for the next cycle by confirming mailing addresses, scheduling renewal reminders, and refreshing their documentation binders. By December, taxpayers should be fully positioned for January renewals. Case study: family prevented refund theft A family in Ohio enrolled in the IP PIN program after experiencing refund theft in 2023. In 2024, criminals attempted to file using their Social Security numbers but were blocked. By adopting Amicus's calendarized framework, the family renewed their IP PINs in January, confirmed integration in February, and filed by mid-March. Their return processed smoothly, and the fraud attempt was rendered ineffective. Case study: independent contractor's recovery A freelance designer in Texas ignored her IP PIN renewal in 2024 and faced a rejected return. The oversight delayed her refund for six weeks. In 2025, she adopted Amicus's plan, placing her renewal on her January calendar and logging each IRS interaction. She filed by early March, avoided delays, and reported improved confidence in her tax season planning. Case study: small business partnership A family-owned business in California required all partners to adopt IP PINs after repeated phishing attempts. Amicus implemented a shared tax binder for the partnership, including IP PIN notices, renewal letters, and preparer confirmations. The firm renewed all PINs by January, logged confirmations, and filed early. No fraudulent attempts succeeded in 2025, protecting both refunds and business continuity. Accessibility and equity challenges Amicus warns that not all taxpayers benefit equally from digital tools. Seniors often struggle to access or store renewal letters securely. Rural families with unreliable mail delivery risk missing deadlines. Disabled individuals may require authorized representatives or caregivers to manage documentation. The Amicus plan addresses these challenges by recommending certified mail for critical communications, representative authorization letters, and physical documentation kits, thereby reducing reliance on digital portals. Fraud trends during tax season Fraudsters have become more sophisticated, using phishing emails disguised as IP PIN renewal notices or spoofed phone calls claiming to be from the IRS. Some attempts include fake 'PIN recovery portals' designed to harvest Social Security numbers. Amicus emphasizes that the IRS never issues or confirms IP PINs by email or phone. Taxpayers should only rely on official IRS correspondence or Criminals also increasingly target small businesses, filing fraudulent employment tax returns using stolen EINs. Amicus recommends that business owners treat EINs as carefully as Social Security numbers and consider parallel protective measures. Policy and systemic implications The expansion of IP PIN awareness reflects a larger trend of shifting fraud-prevention responsibilities to taxpayers. While the program is effective, it requires high levels of organization. Amicus argues that additional government support is needed, such as clearer caregiver designation systems, expanded outreach in vulnerable communities, and longer renewal windows for households facing logistical barriers. Other jurisdictions provide valid comparisons. Canada, for example, has emphasized multifactor authentication and account monitoring for tax filers, while the UK's HMRC has invested in call-back verification systems. These models suggest that stronger taxpayer support can accompany fraud prevention without reducing security. Amicus recommendations Treat IP PIN renewal as a fixed annual task, scheduled every January. Store IP PIN letters securely, both digitally and physically. File as early as possible to shorten the fraud window. Educate family members, particularly seniors, about phishing tactics. Authorize representatives in advance to handle renewals if the taxpayer becomes incapacitated. Track all IRS notices and responses in a structured log. Quotes from Amicus 'IP PINs are one of the most effective protections against refund theft, but only if taxpayers use and renew them consistently,' said an Amicus employee. 'Our calendarized plan turns renewal into a family habit, like renewing insurance or updating wills.' 'Fraudsters move fast at the start of every tax season. Filing early with the correct IP PIN is the best way to stay ahead,' another employee explained. Conclusion The IRS's expanded outreach on IP PIN renewals underscores the importance of disciplined, proactive identity management during tax season. Fraud prevention is no longer optional. Taxpayers who adopt Amicus International Consulting's calendarized identity plan can protect refunds, reduce stress, and avoid the pitfalls of last-minute scrambling. Tax identity protection is not only about technology, it is about routine. By integrating renewals into annual calendars, organizing documents, and filing early, families and businesses can stay secure in an environment of growing fraud threats. About Amicus International Consulting Amicus International Consulting guides lawful anonymity, identity protection, and compliance workflows. The firm develops structured checklists, documentation strategies, and calendarized plans that allow families and organizations to safeguard identities across multiple jurisdictions.

Trump to Tap Airbnb Co-Founder as First Government Design Chief
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday creating a new post for the government's chief design officer and is tapping Airbnb Inc. co-founder Joe Gebbia to fill the position, according to people familiar with the matter. The move would give Gebbia a leading role in redesigning government forms and processes through a new National Design Studio to be housed at the White House. The people familiar spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the selection before it is publicly announced. Why New York City Has a Fleet of New EVs From a Dead Carmaker Trump Takes Second Swing at Cutting Housing Assistance for Immigrants Neom's Desert Ski Resort Strains Saudi Prince's $1.5 Trillion Plan Chicago Schools Seeks $1 Billion of Short-Term Debt as Cash Gone We Need a Reality Check on Crime, Safety and Transit Gebbia, 44, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. His mission as the nation's first chief design officer will be to 'prioritize improving websites and physical sites that have a major impact on Americans' everyday lives,' according to the text of the executive order released by the White House. That mandate could include income tax filings, Social Security applications, Medicare enrollment, immigration services, and other high-volume government services. Gebbia, a holdover from Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk's largely dismantled Department of Government Efficiency, has already led an effort to overhaul the government's cumbersome retirement process. Until recently, the Office of Personnel Management relied mostly on papers kept in an abandoned limestone mine in Pennsylvania to calculate retirement benefits for federal employees. In an interview with Bloomberg News in June, Gebbia described much of the federal bureaucracy as a 'design desert.' Earlier this year, Trump abolished an Obama-era office known as 18F that worked on digital design projects across the federal government. The new group will report directly to the White House chief of staff and have a deadline of July 4, 2026 to deliver initial results.
