Eyestone also said that there will…
CLEVELAND (AP) Mike Moustakas had a career-best four RBIs to help rookie Will Smith get his first major league win, leading the Kansas City Royals to an 8-2 win over the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night. Moustakas hit a two-run homer off Justin Masterson (2-4) in the first and singled in two runs in the second. That was more than enough support for Smith (1-1), who allowed two runs and four hits in six innings. The left-hander rebounded nicely after being thumped by the New York Yankees in his major league debut last week. Humberto Quintero added two RBIs…
SALINA, Kan. (AP) It’s early, but initial returns from the Kansas wheat harvest near Salina are giving farmers some hope. West of Salina in central Kansas, farmers are reporting surprisingly good yields. The Salina Journal reports Tuesday that test weights at one spot were at 60 pounds to the bushel and moisture content was nearly 14 percent. One farmer guessed his yield would top 50 bushels per acre about 10 bushels above his original estimate. But it’s too soon to know if such early numbers can be sustained and reverse the fortunes predicted earlier this month. Agriculture experts have said…
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) A Kansas City, Kan., man has admitted in federal court that he took a 16-year-old girl across state lines to work as a prostitute. The U.S. Attorney’s office says 26-year-old Otis Warren pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of transporting a minor for illegal sexual activity. He faces a maximum 30 years in prison at sentencing, scheduled for Sept. 25. Warren was arrested after undercover police investigators from Prairie Village agreed last November to pay $250 an hour to have sex with the girl. Prosecutors said Warren drove the girl from Kansas City, Mo., to a…
GARDEN CITY, Kan. (AP) High heat is headed to southwest Kansas, and one of the world’s largest swimming pools is ready. Saturday’s opening day for the “Big Pool” in Garden City drew an estimated 1,200 people, and business figures to pick up this weekend as temperatures are forecast to hit the 90s. Billed as the world’s largest outdoor municipal concrete swimming pool, the pool is about the size of a football field and holds more than 2.5 million gallons of water. More than 40 lifeguards work at the Big Pool, with about 20 on duty at any given time. Officials…
EL DORADO, Kan. (AP) The theft of 185 pounds of explosives from a southeastern Kansas company nearly four years ago has been partially solved. Burglars made off with the explosives in September 2008 from a Martin Marietta facility in Butler County. The company used the explosives in its gravel-mining operations. KWCH-TV reports that a pair of turkey hunters called authorities after spotting the tubes of explosives Monday night near Towanda. Sheriff Kelly Herzet says cardboard boxes containing the tubes apparently deteriorated over time. He says the explosives weren’t dangerous because they lacked detonators, but he’s glad they’ve been recovered. The…
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) The first morning of a federal court trial over the redrawing of Kansas political boundaries was mostly filled with procedural issues. Attorneys for legislators, business leaders and voters presented evidence Tuesday to three federal judges in Kansas City, Kan. The judges must adjust boundaries for congressional, state House and Senate and State Board of Education districts to account for population changes in the past decade. The maps became the judges’ responsibility after the Legislature could not settle a feud among Republicans over the districts’ boundaries. Robyn Renee Essex, a Republican precinct committee member from Olathe, filed…
