Officials say the strongest of the tornadoes formed south of Guthrie Center and quickly tracked northeast across Lake Panorama, where it briefly produced EF-2 damage.

The case of an Oakland man charged in connection with the murder of a rural Cass County woman will proceed to a jury trial. According to the Omaha World-Herald, a trial for 63-year old Robert Arthur Reynolds, Jr., will take place July 1st in Pottawattamie County District Court. Reynolds plead not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder, Monday afternoon. He was charged in the shooting death of 64-year old Patricia Kinkade-Dorsey.
The shooting took place in Reynolds’ Oakland home during early morning hours of April 9th, during a disturbance that involved alcohol. If convicted on the charge, Reynolds faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Junior Lake homered, doubled twice and drove in six runs as the Chicago Cubs broke loose, routing St. Louis 17-5 Monday night and forcing the Cardinals to finish with infielder Daniel Descalso as a relief pitcher. The Cubs had totaled just four runs while getting swept in a three-game series at Atlanta over the weekend, and had lost seven of eight overall. Chicago has the worst record in the league at 13-24, but is 4-3 against the defending NL champions.
The Cubs hit for the cycle in the first five batters — Emilio Bonifacio doubled, Anthony Rizzo singled, Starlin Castro tripled and Mike Olt’s two-run homer capped a four-run first inning. Bonifacio had four of Chicago’s 20 hits and scored five runs, once on a play overturned by video review.
Descalso made his first pro pitching appearance and retired the only batter he faced, getting Olt on a fly ball.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — There are few players in the NFL draft who have a better fallback plan than Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, the offensive tackle taken by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round. After all, he only needs one more year of medical school before he becomes Doc Larry.
The 23-year-old Canadian from McGill University is planning to put those career aspirations on hold to play football for the Chiefs. He was supposed to fly to Kansas City this week and immerse himself in an orientation program, with a rookie minicamp beginning May 24.
Duvernay-Tardif first turned heads at the East-West Shrine Game, and then impressed the Chiefs enough at a personal pro day that they drafted him on Saturday.

FORT DODGE, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa teenager has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for stabbing another teenager at a Fort Dodge Senior High homecoming dance last year. Eighteen-year-old Max Bly was sentenced in connection to the Oct. 5 stabbing of 18-year-old Luca Fiala. Both teenagers were 17 at the time of the incident.
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — A Dubuque mental health counselor’s license has been placed under probation following allegations of dependent adult abuse. A settlement agreement with the Iowa Board of Behavioral Science says 68-year-old Lowell R. Routley’s license is under probation for two years. Court documents say between November 2010 and October 2012, Routley withdrew funds for personal use from the special-needs trust fund of a patient for whom he was a trustee.
PANORA, Iowa (AP) — Preliminary data shows an EF-2 tornado touched down in central Iowa during severe weather that hit swaths of the state.

LOGAN, Iowa (AP) — An anonymous donor has offered to help with renovation costs for a museum in western Iowa. The donor offered $30,000 to offset renovation costs at the Museum of Religious Arts in Logan. Facilities needing attention include a wooden deck and fish pond in the museum’s Biblical Garden.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Last week was a busy one for Iowa farmers, who took advantage of dry conditions to plant nearly half of the expected corn crop. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported Monday that farmers planted about 7 million acres. About 20 percent of the soybean crop, or 2 million acres, also was planted.
Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey says the heavy rain Sunday and Monday was good for those who have planted their crop but bad news for those who haven’t and now must wait for fields to dry out. As of last week, the USDA says 74 percent of topsoil was rated as adequate and 15 percent had surplus moisture.
Northwest Iowa was the driest region, with nearly one-third of topsoil reported as very short or short of moisture.
LOGAN, Iowa (AP) — An anonymous donor has offered to help with renovation costs for a museum in western Iowa. The Daily Nonpareil reports an anonymous donor offered $30,000 to offset renovation costs at the Museum of Religious Arts in Logan. Facilities needing attention include a wooden deck and fish pond in the museum’s Biblical Garden. Museum director Rhonda McHugh says the fish pond needs repair before it can be filled, and the deck must be treated to better withstand severe weather.
McHugh says renovations will also include installing a gate at the museum’s entrance and providing lighting for a stone arrangement that spells out “believe.” The museum underwent a $28,000 renovation in 2013, which included cleaning figurines and fixing rails damaged by animals.
