Atlantic Police Chief Dave Erickson reports anyone interested in bow hunting within the Atlantic City limits for the 2017-18 hunting year, may receive a permit application from the Atlantic Police Department during their regular business hours (8-a.m. to 4-p.m., M-F). The permit will allow you to harvest antlerless deer, and once you have reported the harvest to the Atlantic Police Dept., you will be allowed to harvest a buck.

Bow hunters who qualified last year with the P-D do not need to do so this year, but you still need to pick up the permit application, fill it out and return it to the Police Department. New Hunters will have to contact the A-PD and set up a time with Chief Erickson, in order to qualify. Land owners who wish to allow bow hunters to hunt on their land, should contact the Police Department at 712-243-3512 during regular business hours, in order to sign-up.

Erickson said the number of deer causing damage to plants and vegetation inside the Atlantic City limits have been down in recent years, due to the success of the Urban Deer Control program.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

CINCINNATI (AP) – Dexter Fowler homered for the third straight game while Matt Carpenter and Paul DeJong also homered as the St. Louis Cardinals gained ground in their National League playoff push with a 9-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds. Tommy Pham finished with two doubles, a single and two RBIs and Yadier Molina added a two-run double as the third-place Cardinals (79-72) gained a game on Colorado in the wild-card race.

TORONTO (AP) – Mike Moustakas hit his 37th home run of the season, breaking Steve Balboni’s Royals record, and Kansas City routed the Toronto Blue Jays 15-5. Salvador Perez and Whit Merrifield also connected for the Royals. Moustakas went 3 for 4 and came within a triple of hitting for the cycle. He eclipsed Balboni’s 1985 record with a solo blast to right off Carlos Ramirez in the sixth.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt watched every team pass on him in the draft, many of them multiple times. But after Kansas City traded up to select him in the third round, he made it his mission to silence his doubters. And so far, his record-setting start has the Chiefs 2-0 heading into Sunday’s game against the Chargers.

The Atlantic girls swimming team played host to Lewis Central on Tuesday night and came up short. The Titans won 8 events on the night with the Trojans grabbing 3 top finishes.

A mechanical engineer from central Iowa has invented a system to help golfers improve their swing and he’s turning to crowdsourcing to get the idea off the tee and onto the green. Nick Mahowald, of Des Moines, is C-E-O and founder of SwingLync, which he created after helping a friend in Wisconsin learn how to play golf over the phone. “SwingLync is a wearable training technology for the average golfer,” Mahowald says. “The way it works is, you wear three small sensors which connect to your smartphone, you take a swing and the system will analyze the swing.”

Those sensors are worn on the wrist, waist and back to measure things like shoulder and hip rotation as well as spine and pelvic angles. After weeks, months and even years of practice, a smooth golf swing can be extremely difficult to master.
