After nine months of construction, the new tennis courts at Kenwood Park are all but complete, with just a few punch list items and final approval from the city to go. The new facility includes 12 state-of-the-art tennis courts with lighting, new parking space and a clubhouse with restrooms and other amenities. Liz Bothwell, Executive Director of Salina Tennis Alliance Inc., said the organization is already planning clinics, tournaments and other events to be held at the facility this spring. People can view events as they are planned and get involved at the new facility by visiting salinatennis.org.

Applicants for west Topeka’s vacant District 9 seat on the Topeka City Council will be asked Tuesday to explain how they handle conflict and tell what primary goal or agenda they hope to accomplish. Those are among the nine questions Topeka’s mayor and city council plan to pose to the five people seeking the seat recently vacated by the resignation of Councilman Michael Lesser, which took effect Nov. 1. The mayor and council plan during Tuesday’s 6 p.m. meeting to interview the applicants. They may then either vote to choose someone to fill the seat, or postpone that decision until later.
