The defending Big 12 champions opened their doors to the media on Monday after three practices in fall camp.

A rezoning request was made at Monday’s Pottawatomie County Commission meeting to allow for a possible apartment complex or similar building to be constructed. The request was for a lot along Dempsey Road. During the discussion of the item, Stan Hartwich, commissioner, explained he was having a hard time approving the zoning request since they didn’t have a clear picture as to what exactly would be built on the lot. Gary Yenzer and Pat Weixelman agreed and therefore they tabled the item and sent it back to the Planning Commission along with the petition that was made against the rezoning. Department updates…

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) The Hutchinson City Council is scheduled to take a peek at an ordinance that would ban public nudity in the city. The Hutchinson News reports the ordinance before the council Tuesday includes very specific definitions of what constitutes public nudity. City Attorney Paul Brown says laws against disturbing the peace and lewd and lascivious behavior don’t address the issue.

Brown acknowledges the city doesn’t have a serious public nudity…
