Colder weather is making its way through, which means people will be more susceptible to illnesses like the flu, and the Seward County Health Department is on hand to help.
One of the best ways people can combat the flu is by getting their annual flu shot, and Seward County Health Department Vaccine Coordinator Alexa Varnes said staff has been keeping busy with just that.
Water conservation continues to be a hot topic and recently, the State of Kansas took some action to help with just that.
Friday, Gov. Laura Kelly announced more than $320,000 will go toward seven new partnership initiatives for the second year of funding through the Kansas Water Office’s Kansas Water Plan Partnership Initiative (KWPPI).
In a little more than two months, Kansas will officially be celebrating its 164th anniversary of being a state, and Liberal’s Baker Arts Center is inviting artists to help celebrate that milestone.
Baker Arts Center is currently taking entries for its Kansas Birthday Art Contest. The contest will take place throughout the month of January, and all of the artwork will be on display in the main gallery to help celebrate Kansas Day, which is Jan. 29.
TOPEKA – Governor Laura Kelly announced Thursday that $5.9 million will be awarded to seven transportation construction projects through the Kansas Department of Transportation’s Cost Share Program for fall 2024.
This cost-share investment will leverage $9.8 million in community matching dollars for a total investment of more than $15 million.
With Halloween now done and Thanksgiving about a week and a half away, the season of giving is in full swing.
Officials with Liberal’s Grace Place Pregnancy Care Center are asking those in the giving spirit to also thinking about families with infant children this Christmas.
The center is hosting a diaper drive to help mothers in need of diapers. Grace Place Client Services Director Letty Hernandez said this is the first drive of its kind at the center, and volunteer Maria Froese came up with the idea of creating an online registry with Walmart to help donors give to the cause.
