Can my neighbor rake (or blow) leaves into Wichita street? Here's what to know
Raking or blowing leaves into Wichita streets is against city ordinance and could cost you (or your neighbor) hundreds of dollars. Here’s what residents should know before tackling fall yard work. FULL STORY: Can I rake my leaves into the street in Wichita? Here’s what city ordinance says Here are key takeaways: It’s illegal: Wichita Code of Ordinances Sec. 10.04.030 prohibits moving leaves, grass, dirt, debris or other material into streets, gutters, drains or drainage ditches. Leaves in the street can clog storm drains and cause flooding. The fine: Illegal dumping in Wichita carries a $371.50 penalty. How enforcement works: Megan Lovely, communications manager for the City of Wichita, said enforcement relies on citizen complaints and city staff documenting violations. Homeowners are first educated about the ordinance, and citations may follow for repeat offenses. How to report: Residents can report neighborhood nuisances through the city website, the city app or by calling 316-660-9220. What to do with leaves instead: K-State extension agents recommend raking, bagging, composting or mulch mowing. They suggest using a lawn mower bagging attachment to shred leaves, which can then be spread around young trees, shrubs or flower beds as organic matter. The summary points above were

The big Angelo's move is about to begin, Wichita. Here's what to expect:
Wichita will be Angelo’s- free for a bit starting this weekend, and owners of the Italian restaurant are advising fans to stock up on take-and-bake pizzas and pasta dishes to get them through. The restaurant, which is relocating from its home of five years at 5900 E. Central, will have its last day there on Saturday. Then, they’ll start the move to the new space at 550 N. Rock Road, where businesses including Quinton’s Bar & Grill , Ernie Biggs, Dempsey’s Burger Pub and Crutch BBQ previously operated. The owners aren’t yet sure how long the move will take, though. On social media this weekend , they said that the best-case scenario is that the restaurant will be reopened within seven to 10 days — but that’s assuming that the move and inspections of the new space stay on track. The post thanked customers for their continued support and patience and promised an update as soon as it was available. Angelo’s announced in May its plans to relocate. The space it’s taking over was famously home to The Grape during the 1980s and 1990s. Originally, Angelo’s had hoped to have the move complete by the end of August, but things

Shocker player ratings: What game film revealed in the USC loss
There’s more to evaluating a basketball player than counting points, rebounds and assists. That’s the idea behind The Wichita Eagle’s Shocker Player Ratings, a film-based evaluation of every Wichita State player’s performance following each game. The grades aren’t simply a ranking of the team’s best players. Each player is judged on a 1-to-10 scale based on how well he fulfills his individual role, accounting for his responsibilities, defensive assignments, decision-making and contributions that don’t always show up in the box score. Every player starts at 6.0, which represents a satisfactory performance. A 7.0 is good, an 8.0 is excellent and a 9.0 is reserved for an exceptional outing. Ratings below 6.0 reflect below-average performances, while a perfect 10.0 would require something truly extraordinary. Head coach Paul Mills will also receive a grade based on his game plan, adjustments and in-game decisions. The goal is simple: Give readers a better understanding of who actually played well, who struggled and what the film revealed beyond the final score. Shocker player ratings vs. USC Michael Gray Jr. — 8.5 Gray looks increasingly comfortable in his new off-ball role, pouring in a team-high 18 points in just 18 minutes while drilling 5 of 8

What would Olive Garvey think if the Riordan Clinic leaves its famous domes?
Not many legacies start with an octogenarian woman who, while sitting under an old-fashioned hair dryer, gets a spark of inspiration that develops into an organization still going strong more than half a century later. That’s what happened with Olive White Garvey and her idea for Wichita’s Center for the Improvement of Human Functioning, which today is known as the Riordan Clinic. Now that the clinic is considering leaving the 92 acres Garvey’s family foundation gave the nonprofit, which is known for its prominent eight geodesic domes and pyramid along K-96, vice president of operations Steve Howard said the late Garvey still is directing the clinic’s future. “It’s important to stay grounded in her vision for the place.” The clinic’s management and board is considering a possible move downtown to not only be part of a growing medical and academic corridor but also to have an updated, more modern facility that more people might associate with medical care. “The Riordan Clinic as a facility has always had trouble communicating what takes place in those domes,” Howard said. Garvey’s vision created what has become an internationally-known — sometimes better outside of Kansas than in — research facility and center devoted to

Longtime east Wichita restaurant's west-side counterpart opens this week
Managers spent the weekend training staff at a couple of invite-only events. And on Tuesday, the new Firebirds Wood Fired Grill at 2824 N. Maize Road will open to the public. The restaurant, which is southwest of the Hobby Lobby at 29th North and Maize, is the second location of the chain for Wichita. Started by onetime Wichitan and Lone Star Steakhouse founder Dennis Thompson and some partners 25 years ago in Charlotte, Firebirds o pened its first Wichita restaurant in 2013 at the Waterfront development. The chain now has nearly 70 locations across the country. The west-side restaurant is smaller than the one on the east side and a bit less ornate. It doesn’t have a private dining room like the east side, but it does have a big outdoor patio facing Maize Road that has a fireplace and heaters. The menu at Firebirds features a variety of steaks, seafood options like salmon and Chilean sea bass, ribs, chicken, pasta dishes, burgers and sandwiches. It also has a separate lunch menu and serves brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Brunch features breakfast cocktails along with items such as baked French toast and grilled salmon benedict.
