KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals extended their scoreless streak to a franchise-record 43 innings, getting shut out for a fourth straight game in a 12-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. The Royals haven’t scored since the second inning of a 3-2 loss to Colorado last Thursday.
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Linebacker Reggie Ragland will get a fresh start in Kansas City after the Chiefs acquired the second-year player in a trade with the Buffalo Bills. In exchange, the Bills acquired a fourth-round pick in the 2019 draft. The Chiefs land a player with the potential of being an upgrade for Josh Mauga, who was released earlier in the day.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa quarterback Nathan Stanley has been listed as the starter for Saturday’s opener against Wyoming. Stanley, a sophomore, spent the offseason competing with junior Tyler Wiegers for the opening left by C.J. Beathard’s graduation. Stanley was 5 of 9 passing in 2016 as a true freshman.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Tanner Lee hasn’t taken a snap in a game for Nebraska, yet the fan base has already deemed him the quarterback who can return the Cornhuskers to national relevance. The hype has been fueled by the words of a couple former NFL personnel men, one of whom predicted the transfer from Tulane would be a top NFL draft prospect.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The builder of the Dakota Access pipeline is negotiating with North Dakota regulators to resolve all investigations into potential wrongdoing during construction. The Public Service Commission recently offered a settlement of allegations that Energy Transfer Partners improperly reported the discovery of American Indian artifacts. The company’s counterproposal includes potentially also resolving a state investigation into whether crews removed too many trees and improperly handled some soil.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — In vast stretches of the Plains and Northwest known for wheat production, fewer farmers are growing wheat. They’re responding to low wheat prices and changing consumer tastes for high protein foods like hummus, pasta and energy bars, which are increasing demand for alternative crops such as garbanzo beans and lentils. This year, farmers planted the fewest acres of wheat since the U.S. Department of Agriculture began keeping records nearly a century ago.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A former prison nurse says in a lawsuit that Iowa’s Department of Corrections discriminated against him because he is transgender. Jesse Vroegh claims in a lawsuit filed Monday that the state agency denied him use of the men’s restrooms and locker rooms at work and denied him health care coverage for medically necessary surgery. The Corrections Department didn’t immediately return a message left Monday.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — A jury has convicted a Sioux City man of attempted murder for firing more than a dozen shots at a Woodbury County sheriff’s deputy. The Sioux City Journal reports jurors Monday found Melvin Spencer guilty in the February incident, in which he fired 16 shots at Deputy Mike Lenz after a vehicle chase. Lenz wasn’t hit but at least five rounds struck his patrol vehicle. The 25-year-old Spencer could be sentenced to up to 25 years in prison. His sentencing date hasn’t been scheduled.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State’s restructured defense will be considered a liability until it can prove otherwise. The Cyclones will look to counter a defense in flux with what could be one of the best offenses in school history. Iowa State might finally be built to hang in a league where even teams with strong defenses often find themselves in shootouts.
The Cyclones have arguably the deepest group of wide receivers in the Big 12, a pair of talented backs in David Montgomery and Mike Warren and a quarterback, Jacob Park, coming off his first full offseason in the program. Iowa State (3-9 in 2016) opens its second season under coach Matt Campbell on Saturday against Northern Iowa.

The Atlantic Public Library hosted a Grand Opening open house on Saturday for the newly completed reading garden project. Members of the public, library board, staff, and other contributors gathered to dedicate the new space. Atlantic Library Board Member Dee Beebensee said the project took about six months to come together once the planning details were complete. She thinks it’s a nice outdoor space to enjoy while visiting.
Former Director Natalie Struecker, who was here during the planning process of the project, talked about how everything got started.
Struecker thinks the space will add valuable usable space to the Library property.
Gary Oedewaldt and his wife Margaret Oedewaldt from Missouri were on hand for the grand opening. Margaret’s Great Uncle Carlos Cole was one of the first board members for the library in 1903 and a number of other family members have served in that same role. Margaret worked at the library in high school and when they found out about the project they wanted to contribute so they helped sponsor a bench. Gary Oedewaldt said he liked the fact that the project will help highlight the front entrance.
The reading garden is now open for the public to use and enjoy. You can listen to the full interviews with Dee Beebensee, Natalie Struecker, and Gary Oedewaldt below.
