Topeka’s HVAC Fix, Missing Senior, and Basketball Boom

Topeka’s city government just approved $16,289 for urgent HVAC repairs at the Hotel Topeka, critical to keeping the chiller running — even as the hotel’s sale remains uncertain. Meanwhile, a statewide Silver Alert is underway for 81-year-old Ann Selders, last seen driving a red 2016 Toyota RAV in Ellsworth County. On the sports front, Topeka aims to become a summer basketball hotspot with a high-profile KU vs. K-State alumni game at Washburn’s revamped Lee Arena, expected to draw more tournaments. In community news, bartender Bev Huntsman celebrates 40 years behind the bar at the Endeavor Inn & Suites, beloved by locals. And the fourth annual Everything Woman banquet honored local heroines — with nominations already open for next year’s event. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
