How Kenyon Giles is repaying William Berg for the dirty work at Wichita State

Kenyon Giles had a pretty sweet arrangement with William Berg last season at Wichita State. Berg set the screens. He took the hits. He wrestled for rebounds. Giles? He got to let it fly. It was a pretty good deal for the Shockers, even if the division of labor seemed a little lopsided. Giles launched his way into the Wichita State record books with 125 made 3-pointers. Berg spent much of the season making those shots possible, then chasing down the ones that didn’t go in. But after a summer apart, the two reunited with a new understanding. It was time for Giles to start returning the favors. That was apparent in Wichita State’s 79-67 season-opening victory over Cal State Northridge on Wednesday, when Giles complemented his 21 points with a career-high eight assists, repeatedly feeding Berg on his way to career highs of 26 points and 16 rebounds. And after spending last season cleaning up so many of Giles’ misses, Berg couldn’t resist having a little fun with the new arrangement. “Last year was the KG assist,” Berg joked. “He passed it off the backboard or whatever he would do, and now he passes it straight to me.

Fuel pump problems found at these Wichita gas stations during October inspections

Seven Wichita gas stations were found with problematic fuel pumps during the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s October inspections. The state Gas Pump program tests more than 20,000 fuel pumps every year to ensure dispensers and meters meet state regulations. This includes checking fuel quality, pricing accuracy and correct labeling. Every gas station is inspected every 18 months, and also after customer complaints or when follow-up inspections are needed. About 95% to 97% of the time, the fuel pumps meet compliance standards. If a pump doesn’t meet state requirements, the pump is rejected. Common reasons that pumps are rejected include issues with the equipment, incorrect pricing or product labeling and failure to provide the customer with a receipt. If a fuel pump fails, or is rejected, the gas station must repair it within a set number of days or request an extension. The pump will then be reinspected. Here’s what state inspectors reported in October in Wichita. Wichita gas stations with fuel pump issues Inspectors reported the following problems at these Wichita gas stations in October: Circle K, 3311 N. Rock Road. During a follow-up inspection Oct. 2, pump 1 was missing an octane rating sticker and the card scanner wasn’t

The latest on the two closed locations of Tropical Smoothie Cafe in Wichita

About a month ago, two of Wichita’s three Tropical Smoothie Cafes abruptly closed : The franchisee of the stores at 2768 N. Maize Road and at 9730 E. 21st St. sold them, and the new franchisee wanted time to do some renovations. But those two cafes will soon reopen, said new owner Aaron Toutloian. He’s aiming for Nov. 18. Toutlioan, who lives in Florida and owns 10 other Tropical Smoothie Cafes across the Midwest, said that because of equipment delays, he wasn’t actually able to make the kitchen upgrades he’d planned. “So we’ve decided to go ahead and open and just do the changes as we start getting the equipment,” he said. The stores will remain open, even while the equipment is being installed. Toutlioan said he’s been with the Tropical Smoothie Cafe chain since 2019 and originally bought franchises in Florida with his brother. Then the two decided to each run their own stores, Toutlioan said, and his brother still has 25 stores in Florida. Toutlioan, who is originally from St. Louis, said his stores are spread between Indiana and Kansas. His closest locations to Wichita are in Pittsburg and in Columbia, Missouri. In fact, he said, he’s considering

Wichita just passed a $615M school bond. Here's what it means for your tax bill

Wichita voters on Tuesday, Nov. 3, approved a $615 million school bond issue for the state’s largest district, with 62% backing the first question and 60% supporting the second. The two propositions will fund new schools, trades training and renovations — but will add to homeowners’ property tax bills for years to come. Here are key takeaways: Supporters celebrated after both bond questions cleared , with Vote Yes Yes committee chair Luis Rodriguez saying, “Tonight, we learned that we have a path forward,” while opposition leader Walt Chappell of the Improve Learning First coalition said his side was outspent and that “closing schools and building new ones helps contractors make money but it doesn’t increase our students’ proficiency.” The bond will pay for new schools, trades training and renovations across the district. The approved bond carries a property tax rate of 7.68 mills — 5.5 mills for Proposition 1 and 2.18 mills for Proposition 2 — meaning the owner of a $200,000 home will pay an estimated extra $3,532.80 to $5,185.58 in property taxes over 20 years , with annual costs starting at $176.64 and potentially climbing to $353.28 if home values follow historical trends. The summary points above were
