    Roadrunners are finding a more comfortable home in a changing Kansas landscape (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    If you grew up watching Road Runner outsmart Wile E. Coyote, you'd be forgiven for not thinking that the leggy bird has a place in Kansas. The background of those antics are always dramatic desert vistas with buttes and canyons for the coyote to fall into. But the roadrunner has a growing home in Kansas. The Kansas Ornithological Society maintains a checklist of all the possible species birders can see in each of the state's 105 counties. It's built off of several databases and updated with acce

    Wichita boil water advisory ends, but more testing is needed for surrounding communities (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On Tuesday, Botanica plans to ask city leaders to help it nearly double its footprint in Wichita. The nonprofit is asking the Wichita City Council to sign off on a 30-year lease of a portion of Sim Park. The rental price for about a third of the park land between the gardens, Arthur B. Sim Golf Course and the Arkansas River is set at $1 a year. In principle, it’s similar to a pitch Botanica made a year ago to the council. In September 2025, Botanica asked for the city’s support in submitting a $

    Read excerpt

    On a recent sunny day in Kechi, Emma Neyens and her 3-year-old daughter, Berkeley, found themselves surrounded by blooms and on a mission. "We're going to make a bouquet," Emma Neyens said. "Who are we going to give our bouquet to?" The Neyenses have visited Elderslie Farm for Easter egg hunts and to buy blackberry jam at the farm market, but the flower patch is something new. "My mom and sister are in town visiting, and they're both in the floral and art business," Emma Neyens said. "So Berkele
