ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Shohei Ohtani adheres to strict routine in nearly every aspect of his life. When his latest mound start was delayed 12 minutes by a pregame ceremony honoring the Angels’ 2002 World Series champions, his meticulous preparation took a hit before he even threw a pitch. A slightly bumpy beginning still led to a second straight incredible night for the two-way superstar. Ohtani struck out a career-high 13 over eight dominant innings of two-hit ball, and the AL MVP also reached base three times in Los Angeles’ 5-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday. After…

Rumors about certain services provided by Manhattan Parks and Rec being removed have made their rounds. KMAN spoke with City Manager Ron Fehr, who says there have been discussions around some programming where they are having trouble filling positions. Typically, Fehr says they have had a strong ability to get seasonal workers for these positions, especially before COVID. However, during the past year, they have had trouble finding both volunteers and workforce.

TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas’ highest court has declared that the state constitution does not prohibit partisan gerrymandering. The justices split 4-3 Tuesday in explaining their reasons for previously upholding a Republican congressional redistricting law. The state Supreme Court issued only a brief opinion last month in approving the new congressional map. The new map makes it harder for Democratic Rep. Sharice Davids to win reelection in her Kansas City-area district. It also moves the liberal northeast Kansas community of Lawrence into a district with conservative western and central Kansas. The court’s majority said the Kansas Constitution permits legislators to consider…
