Good morning, Wichita.

Wichita police confirmed (Friday afternoon) that (15-year-old) Karma, who had been reported missing, was found safe.

At its annual conference in Wichita today, the Kansas Rural Water Association named El Dorado the winner of Best Tasting Water in Kansas – 2025.

El Dorado will represent Kansas at the Great American Water Taste Test at the NRWA Rural Water Rally – February 2026.

Travelers should get their Real ID before May 7th to avoid extra airport screenings that could delay flights—TSA officials expect about 300 unprepared passengers and note that new rules require proof of legal name, a Social Security number, and U.S. legal presence.

On Friday, law enforcement officers began checking drivers for drugs during 420 weekend as new roadside fluid instruments made it easier to spot impairment.

KDOT said it sees more drug-related crashes on weekends and will use checkpoints (including oral tests) to enforce safe driving.

Hailee Cooper, the defending champion, will return to Wichita’s Heritage Classic in September to defend her title.

She won last year by breaking the Rolling Hills record with a round of 63—making her the first returning champion in the event.
