Good morning, Lawrence. Here's your local news at a glance for Sunday, the 17th of August.

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • A Texas federal court stripped federal protections from the lesser prairie chicken in a Tuesday ruling—reversing Biden-era classifications that split the bird’s status, which benefits Kansas ranchers and energy producers. More than 70% of the bird’s estimated population lives in Kansas and existing conservation programs are expected to lessen the short-term impact.  The Lawrence Times

HEALTH NEWS

  • Health officials report that the measles outbreak is nearing its end after 90 cases were confirmed with no new case since July 6 — while experts warn that the flu remains a concern as students return to class.  KCTV
