The Wamego City Commission took care of business Tuesday evening. City Manager Merl Page introduced an ordinance to issue temporary notes in the amount of $690,000 for the West Highway 24, Unit 3 project.

The Minnesota Vikings have back tracked what they addressed about running back Adrian Peterson earlier in the week and now take a stance by barring the former Oklahoma Sooner from team activities as they let the justice system play out in Peterson’s felony child abuse charge.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One swing by Conor Gillaspie ended long shutout streaks for Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis. Both relievers gave up runs for the first time in nearly three months as the Kansas City Royals’ dominant bullpen was touched up Tuesday night in a 7-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox.
