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.

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

Sedgwick County swung Democratic in several major races. Here's what to know

Kansas Republicans counted on Sedgwick County to blunt a Democratic surge, with top-of-the-ticket candidates Roger Marshall and Ty Masterson calling it home turf. Instead, the usually red-leaning county broke for Democrats in several major races. FULL STORY: Republicans needed to win Sedgwick County to avoid a blue wave. That didn’t happen Here are key takeaways, based on Election Day results: U.S. Senate: Democrat Adam Hamilton topped Roger Marshall in Sedgwick County, 95,151 to 81,533. Hamilton also won statewide, 556,414 to 503,230. Governor’s race: Democrat Cindy Holscher beat Ty Masterson in the county, 94,148 to 86,007, and appears to have won statewide, with her lead growing as late-arriving mail-in ballots continue to be counted. U.S. House: Democrat Katy Tyndell edged incumbent Ron Estes in Sedgwick County, 89,140 to 87,285, though Estes carried the broader district. Secretary of State and Attorney General: The Democratic candidate for secretary of state, Jennifer Day, and Democratic attorney general candidate Chris Mann both carried Sedgwick County, although Day lost the statewide contest while Mann appears to have defeated Attorney General Kris Kobach. The shift is notable because Donald Trump carried Sedgwick County by more than 30,000 votes in 2024 and visited Park City last month urging

Wichita City Council quietly extended Flock contract on Election Day

The Wichita City Council quietly approved an extension to its 5-year contract with Flock Safety at an Election Day meeting. The council voted 5-1 on Tuesday to extend the contract for automated license plate readers and gunshot-detection equipment until March 31, 2027. The cost is $259,208.63. Wichita also uses Flock drones as part of its privately funded Drone as First Responder surveillance partnership with QuikTrip. The Flock extension was published in the city’s Tuesday agenda packet less than 24 hours before the meeting. It was not labeled as its own agenda item and was instead bundled in the “Board of Bids and Contracts” section of the agenda as a change order for Flock’s hardware and software maintenance — along with several other routine items such as water treatment chemicals. No public comment is allowed for that portion of the meeting. The city’s contract with Flock has come under heightened scrutiny as part of what privacy advocates call a “warrantless surveillance dragnet” in Wichita that allows the Wichita Police Department and agencies across the U.S. to track residents’ movements in real time throughout the city. One Wichita man has sued the city seeking to have the cameras removed; the city wants
