Creston native organizes Iowa Barnstormers fundraiser to honor Mick Landers

By SCOTT VICKER

CNA managing editor svicker@crestonnews.com

DES MOINES – The first time Logan Angelo met the late Mick Landers, Angelo was a 2-year-old in need of emergency care.

Landers was the first responder who showed up at the Angelo home, providing assistance to Angelo.

As Angelo grew older, he grew up around Landers’ children and around the Landers family.

So, when Landers died of cancer April 13, Angelo began brainstorming ways he could honor Landers’ life through his role as director of game operations and presentation for the Iowa Barnstormers arena football team.

The Barnstormers already had their “First Responders Game” scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Saturday against the Colorado Crush at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.

“Since it was so close, we decided not to do a benefit that night,” Angelo said.

“But, we’re going to honor Mick that night. We’ll put a graphic up and do a PA read about him. So, Mick will be part of that.”

Before Landers’ death, he selected two local organizations he wanted donations for his memorial fund to go toward – Creston Fire Department, as well as the Cancer Support Ministry at Crest Baptist Church.

With that in mind, Angelo has set up a fundraising effort in conjunction with the Barnstormers May 13 game against Cedar Rapids.

Special tickets are being sold for $10, with 50 percent

of the proceeds from those tickets going directly toward the two organizations Landers selected. During the game, the Barnstormers will present a check to the Landers family on the field.

“There’s an entire section reserved for Creston residents,” Angelo said.

“We’ll bring the Landers family out to the field and we’ll present them a check from the proceeds. If people from out of town want tickets as well, they can call and we’ll mail them out to them.”

The special tickets are available in Creston at Powers Funeral Home, Creston Fire Department and both Kilgore’s RV locations in town.

“We’re trying to make sure that people order from the actual fundraiser, that way the proceeds go back to Creston,” Angelo said.

“There’s currently 200 tickets in Creston. If we sell 200 tickets, I’m more than willing to bring more tickets down to Creston.”

Creston Fire Chief Todd Jackson said he was surprised when Debbie Angelo, Logan’s mother, contacted him to tell him about the fundraiser.

“Throughout our career, we touch different people’s lives and are seemingly unaware of it,” Jackson said.

“Mick h a d touched t h e i r lives, attributed to helping save their son’s life. Jackson T h e y

Creston Hy-Vee’s $10,000 grand prize winner was randomly selected April 3.

“We encourage our customers who don’t have a HyVee Fuel Saver Plus Perks card to sign up for one so they, too, can be registered for and rewarded with various perks throughout the year, plus receive coupons and deals on items they like to purchase in our store.”

Sheriff: ‘Bachelor’ star refused to answer door after crash IOWA CITY (AP) — Former “Bachelor” Chris Soules called 911 to report his crash that killed a fellow Iowa farmer, seeking medical help for the man before authorities say he left the scene and holed up in his home for hours until his arrest.

Soules told the dispatcher that he “rear-ended a guy on a tractor” with his pickup truck Monday night on a

road near the northern Iowa town of Aurora, according to a recording of the call released Wednesday.

Soules, who starred on ABC’s “The Bachelor” two years ago, said the man had been thrown into a ditch, wasn’t conscious, and didn’t appear to be breathing. He told the dispatcher that he didn’t know CPR, and he CRASH | 2A

Today is April 27, the 117th day of the year. So, there are 248 days left in 2017. Below are news items from the Creston News Advertiser for this week (April 24-30) in history:

10 years ago “Silent Farewell” students provided prom dinner entertainment at the Creston Prom. Members of the group were Archie Smith, Eric Bradley, James Kennedy, Chris Helm and Korey Wilson.

The Creston sprint medley relay team of Nicole Hunter, Stephanie Nordyke, Meghin Krambeck and Taylor Gear were shooting for a state-meet berth after placing 15th at the Drake Relays. Krambeck also ran in the 100-meter hurdles and Nordyke competed in the 100-meter dash. Senior Panther Scott Vicker was the first to medal at the Drake Relays since Brian Bucklin in 1999. He placed sixth in the 3,200 race with his personal-best time of 9:20:68 and finished in ninth place during the high school boys 1,600 meters with a time of 4:25:96, improving his own school record in both events.

20 years ago The Iowa House voted overwhelmingly to slap a three-year moratorium on issuing new gambling licenses in the state. Lawmakers carved out an exception to give officials in Osceola and Keokuk one more shot at convincing state regulators to issue a license for their cities.

Hood next superintendent for Sidney, South Page SIDNEY — Sidney and South Page school boards unanimously approved Tim Hood as their next shared superintendent in a meeting held late Tuesday night.

According to the Clarinda Herald-Journal, Hood was offered a two-year contract at $155,000 a year and will begin duties for the southwest Iowa Hood districts on July 1.

He is currently superintendent of Keokuk schools in southeast Iowa.

Hood was superintendent of Creston Community Schools from 2000 to 2012.

His tenure included construction of a new 145,000 square-feet elementary and

middle school building.

Hood has been in education for 30 years, beginning with teaching positions at the Southern Cal district in Lake City and Lewis Central in Council Bluffs from 1987 to 1993.

Hood’s administrative career includes elementary assistant principal in Lewis Central; elementary principal and assistant superintendent in the Putnam County school district in Unionville, Missouri; and superintendent in Earlham beginning in 1996 before he was hired for the same position in Creston in 2000.

Hood succeeds Gregg Cruichshank, who announced his resignation as shared superintendent for Sidney and South Page earlier this year to accept the same position in Homer, Nebraska.

“Kenny loved playing golf, farming, and spending his winters in Florida biking and visiting his mother,” the obituary read.

Authorities say Soules’ pickup was damaged and that he left the scene in another truck before emergency responders arrived.

Buchanan County Sheriff Bill Wolfgram said Wednesday that investigators are trying to identify the person who picked Soules up and that this person could be charged, depending on the circumstances. He said the Iowa State Patrol was trying to determine whether alcohol or speed were factors in the crash.

Soules was arrested about five hours after the crash at his farm in nearby Arlington, which is about 75 miles north of Iowa City. He was booked on a charge of leaving the scene

A late April snowstorm moved through Crestonland unexpectedly and left an estimated two inches of snow and more across southern Iowa.

Douglas Jackson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bradford Jackson of rural Creston, found Clyde, a young great horned owl, in March on the ground on the farm. It had apparently fallen from its nest. Douglas had taken the baby owl home and was caring for it, feeding it hamburger and chicken-flavored cat food which he gulped from a spoon. Since Clyde had been found, it had grown to 9 inches tall and had a wing span of more than three feet. Although he was not able to fly yet as he still had a lot of baby down, Clyde would be put outside in an open cage so he could leave when he was ready.

of a deadly crash and released on bond hours later on the condition that he surrender his passport and wear an ankle monitor until his trial. Additional charges are possible.

Wolfgram said that Soules refused to answer his door for officers, telling them to contact his attorney. He said it took several hours for officers to write a search warrant application and get a judge to approve it, allowing them to enter the home to arrest him.

“We’re running into some roadblocks when it comes to getting information,” Wolfgram said, while acknowledging that Soules was acting within his constitutional rights.

Soules’ attorneys haven’t replied to messages seeking comment. His publicist released a statement Tuesday saying Soules was devastated to learn Mosher had died and that Soules offered his thoughts and prayers to Mosher’s fami-

ly.

Soules, 35, was a fan favorite when he participated in “The Bachelorette” in 2014, so ABC brought him back as “The Bachelor” the next year. He proposed to a Chicago contestant, Whitney Bischoff, at the end of his season, but their relationship soon fizzled. Soules later appeared on “Dancing With The Stars” and has served as a spokesman for agricultural interests while working in farm real estate.

The audio’s release comes weeks after the Iowa House passed a bill that would have classified 911 calls involving injured people as confidential “medical records” that were exempt from the open records law. The measure, which would have blocked the release of Soules’ call, died in the state Senate after The Associated Press and other critics argued it would harm the public’s right-to-know.

Landers selected for his memorial funds to go toward.

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Thursday, April 27, 2017

The lawn mowers are out in full force It’s that time of the year where the sounds of lawn mowers are in full swing. The cool and wet weather this weekend should really make the lawns perk up.

Of course, our good old friends the dandelions are also in full bloom. The flowers seem to really be enjoying the spring weather. It looks like it has been perfect weather for them. Spring has sprung!

17 years Monday, I celebrate my 17th anniversary at the Creston News Advertiser. It has been a great run and I enjoy working with my current staff. Running a business in today’s world always has its challenges, but I have been fortunate to work with a great group of people. It’s not really work when you enjoy what you are doing. A big thanks to my

crew and all the wonderful people around town for supporting the Creston News Advertiser.

We can’t do it without you!

Louisville I had the chance to take in a newspaper conference in Louisville, Kentucky, last week. It coincided with the two-week run up to the Kentucky Derby.

My meetings got over Saturday afternoon just in time to see the six-hour long air show that took place over the Ohio River, which was just outside our hotel.

It was followed up by the USA’s

largest fireworks show. It was absolutely amazing.

The highlight of the week was getting to have lunch with Papa John of the Papa John’s Pizza chain fame. Our group toured their marketing department and found out a little on how they do their marketing. They use lots of inserts and mailed post cards.

The Kentucky Derby is coming up May 6. The race track takes in more than $20 million in bets the day of the race – all in cash! Louisville seems to be a fun town with lots of fun things to do if you have the time.

Tax I watched as the government was announcing its plans for a tax overhaul on TV the other day. They “promise” to get the amount of paperwork down to one or two pages compared to

the several you now have to do to get your taxes done.I’m one those that will believe it when I see it. It would be worth it even if I don’t get a tax break!

School We are on the short side of the school year with less than a month until graduation. The school year seems to be shorter every year. Unless, of course, you are teaching, then it sometimes feels like it never ends, according to my sister, who is a teacher.

Housing It’s that time of year where the number of houses for sale seems to increase. There seems to be more for sale signs around town than I remember seeing in quite a while. The new construction around town may be helping that

out.

Draft Tonight is the annual NFL draft that will be held in Philadelphia. Several Iowa Hawkeyes are slated to be drafted and maybe even several others from around the state. Iowa State hopes to get someone drafted, otherwise it will be three years in a row without a draftee.

Morels The tasty mushrooms are in full season right now. The cool, moist weather this weekend should help the production of the fungi. So far, it has been a pretty good year for morels. Let’s hope it keeps up.

Thought for the week: “Man is the only animal for whom his own existence is a problem which he has to solve.” – Erich Fromm

White House visits HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

The White House last week hosted the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. However, quarterback and presidential friend Tom Brady had to skip the event. It was no big deal. Tom Brady has won five Super Bowls, so he’s already been to the White House more times than Melania Trump.

CBS News reported Tuesday that former president Barack Obama has agreed to address a fall health conference in New York hosted by Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald. It raised eyebrows because he’ll be paid $400,000. His topic will be the importance of free speech.

Netflix just agreed to finance a movie about Jimmy Hoffa starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel and Joe Pesci. It’ll be directed by Martin Scorcese.

The toughest part of the shoot won’t be the clash of egos, it’ll be having to break every day at 3 o’clock for the Early Bird Special.

President Trump slapped a huge tariff on Canadian soft lumber Tuesday because Canadians subsidize their loggers. Tensions erupted. It’s worth it to watch the guys on Fox News discuss soft wood with the women of Fox News on the air all day and try not to be sued for every penny they have.

Bill O’Reilly started a news show podcast Monday, a week after he was fired by Fox News. The cost to listen to O’Reilly’s podcast

Topical humor Argus Hamilton

is $5 a month, or $50 a year. In addition, if you want to listen to his private phone conversations with female co-workers, it’s $3 per minute.

French presidential candidate Emmanuel Mancon was reported Tuesday to have met his wife when he was a 15-year-old student and she was his 40-year-old teacher. They then began an affair. If elected, his fellow countryman Roman Polanski should be a shoo-in for Education Secretary.

Los Angeles was named the city with America’s most congested traffic by an Auto Club survey released Monday. Our self-centered culture invites road tension. If one more driver honks at me for not accelerating fast enough when the light turns green, I’m going to stop texting and flip him off.

Conde Nast travel magazine forecast Tuesday that American tourists will spend a record $3 billion while vacationing in Great Britain this summer. One London restaurant has just opened that serves airline-style food. For instance, if you want your steak bloody, you order it United.

GOP lawmakers demanded that Democrats testify about their use of NSA intercepts to unmask Trump’s campaign staffers. Senate Democrats vow to shut the

government down rather than fund a border wall. The only thing holding this country together is that nobody can stand the Kardashians.

The White House negotiated with Democrats and Republicans all this week to try to arrive at a compromise spending bill that will avoid a U.S. government shutdown. It doesn’t look good.

Right now it looks like if Kim Jung Un doesn’t destroy America

by Friday’s budget deadline he’ll be too late.

Donald Trump’s first 100 days has produced dividends for both parties. Republicans can be glad because it’s resulted in tighter U.S. borders and a booming stock market. Democrats can be glad because it’s made superstars out of Alec Baldwin and Melissa McCarthy on Saturday Night Live.

President Trump began hosting guests for dinner in the White House this week. Just the other night, he entertained Sarah Palin, Ted Nugent and Kid Rock.

President Obama kept a still in the White House basement where he brewed his own beer and now Trump is clearly setting up a meth lab.

Astronaut Peggy Whitson set a record Tuesday for the longest consecutive time in outer space, spending two years on the Space Station. Was she EVER surprised by the call from the president.

When she took off, Hillary Clinton was all set to defeat Jeb Bush in a civilized, well-argued campaign.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: How old are the PILLOWS on your bed?

If you don’t know, or if they are feeling rather “down” (yes, very bad pun indeed!), it’s time for a pillow check. A comfortable pillow is imperative for a good night’s sleep, so check out your pillows tonight.

The Better Sleep Council (www. bettersleep.org) recommends replacing pillows every year, but that’s really a bit much, don’t you think?

Here’s how to test your pillows: * If you “fold” the pillow in half and it does NOT unfold or bounce back, it needs to be replaced. * If the pillow breaks apart into chunks, that’s bad. * They say punching and fluffing of the pillow should not be necessary, but again I say: “Bah! Humbug!” If it’s a feather down pillow, like I have, it’s fine to fluff it a little.

Don’t cheap out – you deserve a good pillow! Most people spend about 1/3 of their life in bed, so invest in your health! – Heloise DRYING TOWELS Dear Heloise: Here is a hint I learned from my stepmother: Even though we had towel hooks in the bath-

room, I did not use them.

She taught me to hang the towel spread out flat over the shower-curtain rod or on the towel bar to dry. It dries faster, and does not mildew or smell, like when I just hung it on the hook. – R.L.E. in Louisiana Good hint, and in a damp, humid environment like Louisiana, this will prevent a lot of stinky towels. – Heloise CLEAN CLUTTER Dear Heloise: Once a month, I sit down on the floor in my kitchen (or bathroom), open a cabinet (especially under the sink) and clean it out. When I started a few months ago, here is what I found: old bottles of cleaners, nasty sponges and towels, and grubby scrubbers.

Now it’s not so bad! – Ivy R. in Massachusetts Hey Ivy, one cabinet or drawer at a time makes the “continual” cleaning process seem not so insurmountable!

Try my HELOISE 120-SECOND HIT LIST: Spend two minutes (120 seconds) or a little longer tackling ONE thing. Clean out broken pens from the junk drawer, trash from your purse or almost-empty bottles under the sink in a kitchen or bathroom. You will be

surprised how well it works in a few weeks. – Heloise NO MORE LOST REMOTE Dear Heloise: Sometimes people have a hard time finding their TV remote. I use a big, beautiful cloth napkin and fold it into a square. I always place the remote on the napkin. It’s easier to find than a dark remote. Works for me! – Gloria M., Monongahela, Pa. EASY CARRY Dear Heloise: I complained to my friend about having to make several trips from the car to the house with shopping bags, or lining the bags on my arms. She keeps a tote or laundry basket in the back of her car. I tried it, too, and now I place several bags in them and usually have to make only one trip. – Jean in Fostoria, Ohio Send a money-saving or timesaving hint to Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000, or you can fax it to 1-210-HELOISE or email it to Heloise(at)Heloise.com. I can’t answer your letter personally but will use the best hints received in my column. (c)2017 by King Features Syndicate Inc.

Climbing Mountains of Work with Minimal Motivation

Getting to know...

ERIN HANSON

SABRINA MILLER Nearing the end of the year, it feels like students have to climb over mountains and mountains of work.

There’s talk about the loss of students’ motivation at the end of the year every year; whether it be from teachers or other students, most people have heard the notion that ambition to do work plummets nearing the end of the year. It’s hard to say for sure whether or not the idea has any standing in reality, however some people would argue the point.

After speaking to multiple students, there were an array of responses. The most diversity in answers came from juniors, who seemed to be stuck somewhere in between still having another year of school and being ready to get out.

“Yeah, for me there’s a lot of motivation drop off. After a long year there tends to be more work and keeping up with it and staying motivated is a struggle,” said Junior Mason Peckham. While a few had similar statements, Junior Morgan Eblen disagreed by stating, “I don’t feel a motivation drop off. I want to do well so I keep going.”

Most responses seemed to stem from these two standpoints, with

the exception of a few answers like, “I don’t know, I don’t really have much motivation to begin with,” as said by Junior Dylan Linch.

In regards to this rainbow of responses, I found an answer that may help to explain why there is no concrete answer. Studies done by Brown University show that students who seem to lose motivation were actually not motivated by their inner curiosity at all, but rather by the pressure from outside forces, such as parents.

It is believed that some people have a coping mechanism that allows them to do passable work at the beginning of the year without needing to be truly motivated. This ability to keep doing work without an inner drive starts to dissipate nearing the end of the school year. This study suggests that some students who do this are not lazy or incompetent, but rather driven by a fleeting force; anxiety.

In this study done by Brown University, they speak about some different occurrences that could cause a loss of motivation. The four main ones were: a lack of inner drive, ADD or other attention disorders, depression, and substance abuse.

The main focus was on the first cause;

Not a Wall, Just a Language Barrier SARA WILLIAMSON Communication is essential to all people. When people struggle communicating for any reason, the result is usually bad. One of the biggest roadblocks in communication is language, and with over 6,000 languages in use today it is impossible to communicate with everyone.

Although The United States does not have an official language, English is most commonly spoken at home followed by Spanish and Chinese. Here in Creston, people do not need to worry about 6,000 languages. Two languages are prominent in this community, English and Spanish. At CCHS there are several students that are bilingual and have non-English speaking parents.

Jasmine Hernandez is a Junior at CCHS, her mother is Spanish-speaking and does not know much English. She had to grow up speaking both languages and translating things for her mom. While Jasmine is fluent in both languages it can still be frustrating for her in some settings, “People could make it easier by being patient with her when I am trying to translate.”

Spanish is by far the most common foreign language in our community, but other languages are present. MayLing Chuong is another Junior at CCHS, and her parents speak mainly Chinese. Since she is the oldest sibling she had a little more responsibility with translating: doing paperwork, and making phone calls for her parents. When asked how the situation could be made easier MayLing had a few ideas, “As our population grows, finding translators and even using apps in Creston’s schools would help other students a lot.”

Other students from CCHS believe that patience is the key when communicating with someone who does not speak a lot of English. It is one of the most difficult languages to learn and the resources available to immigrants are scarce. The bilingual students interviewed thought that the school could do more to help them out, especially at younger ages.

As someone who only speaks one language it can be hard to understand what it feels like to have that added responsibility. Many people also believe that since Spanish is so common students should really be encouraged to take Spanish classes. Most of the other developed countries teach young children their native language along with English. In the US, many schools are just starting to require students to take Spanish classes. It is a small step to closing the communication gaps in our community.

Communication has changed immensely in the past decade. Cell phones are very common and have several translation options.

the concept of students lacking inner motivation.

The study didn’t imply that students having these problems were lazier or not trying hard enough; it more stated that people who feel a drop in motivation may be doing passable work to keep others happy, but are not doing so Erin Hanson is a senior at Creston to keep themselves happy, so all the Community High School. Aside from homework and projects end up being being the head editor of the yearbook, treated as a tedious and fruitless Erin is involved in student government, set of tasks. It suggests that since cheerleading, band, and spends most they weren’t doing work for their own of her time outside of school making ice satisfaction, the drive to do the work cream at Dairy Queen. lowered as the end approached.

One of the many ways to What got you involved in publicamake students feel more relevant is tions? to reassure them that they are doing well. A lot of the motivation loss is due “I got involved in publications by being to feeling like all of their effort has recruited my sophomore year by the been in vain; that their work won’t be juniors and seniors who saw potential in good enough and is never-ending. It me. I couldn’t thank them enough for can be as simple as helping students believing in my writing and editing understand their work and helping abilities.” them remember that their work isn’t pointless.

Why should people buy a yearbook?

Freshman Maisy Franklin looks worrisome about all that is left to do before the end of May.

“In my opinion, which is obviously a little biased, purchasing a yearbook is an essential part of your high school experience.How else are you going to remember those great moments with your friends, team members, and teachers?”

What do you most look forward to about this year’s yearbook?

“I most look forward to seeing and hearing about everyone’s reactions to the yearbook. I think Jennifer Hughes did a great job personally designing the cover, and I think her attention to detail will be greatly appreciated by many.”

Graduation and What Comes Next MIA MAXWELL During senior year, there are many obstacles for students to overcome, and many seniors get senioritis. Senioritis is when you lose motivation. For most seniors, they plan to go to college and need to apply for school and scholarships, but for too many students, that is put on the back burner.

Almost all seniors get senioritis, but some get over it sooner than others. With school starting in August and seniors graduating in the end of May, they only have about 9 months to plan their next four years or more.

Allie Findley says that the first few months of your senior you haven’t even started working on applying for colleges or scholarships, so you begin to panic. Her advice to juniors is to get started as soon as you can. Don’t be too picky about colleges. You already have to look at the locations, which is everything, because that’s what many people base their college on: from how far you want to be from family or just needing certain weather. When applying for scholarships, she suggests: “if it remotely related to you then apply for it.”

According to Peres Reed even when you don’t expect to go to college right away it is always nice to get a start. Applying for lots of colleges and scholarships will help you a lot. If you don’t get into the first choice college you always have back ups, and if you don’t get the scholarship you want, then you will be ready. Another important thing is go see the guidance counselors a lot to get more information on colleges, scholarships, grants, loans, even FAFSA. Doing it sooner and talking to the

counselors you can get a lot done.

With Garrett Barron’s past experiences, waiting until the last minute was what he did. He says when it came to college he thought to push that back also. Now he believes starting sooner is better in so many ways. You get more done and more accomplished. With applying sooner you have more choices and more time to get into more colleges and get more scholarships.

All of sneiros interviewed said not to wait and get in as soon as possible. Apply for as many schools as you want and try not to be too picky. Also they all happened to mention to make sure you go on college visits. If you visit a college and do not like the campus, then you shouldn’t go there.

MOUNT AYR — Abbey Schafer and Tessa Shields have been battling back and forth for medalist honors all season for the Mount Ayr Raiderettes golf team.

This was the case once again in home competition at Mount Ayr Golf and Country Club against Southwest Valley Tuesday.

Continually, the two post the team’s low cards, and did so once again, with Shields tallying 42 strokes to Schafer’s 45. Shields took medalist honors as the Raiderettes posted a team total of 200 strokes. The Timberwolves fielded three golfers, and were led by Kiara Roberts’ third-place card of 55 strokes.

Mount Ayr’s boys team carded a 183, defeating Southwest Valley, who put up a team score of 243.

Myles Greene won medalist honors once again for the now 9-3 boys squad with a two-over par round of 37.

Southwest Valley’s Cole Swenson was runner-up with his nine-over 44.

“The Mount Ayr course is considerably longer than we’re used to playing,” Southwest Valley coach Cindy Drake said. “The Timberwolves took it in stride and played very competitively against the home team. We were able to pinpoint areas where we could be stronger. Those areas will

STAFF REPORT

HARLAN — The Creston middle school girls track and field teams continue to find success wherever they go in their travels.

With seemingly a new school record broken every meet, the Panthers set another when eighth-grader Kelsey Fields threw the

discus 99 feet, 9.5 inches at Harlan’s meet on Tuesday, April 19.

Notable performances from the seventh-grade runners included Hannah Dryden’s first-place finish in the 1,500 meter run in 6:11.07, the 4x400 team’s (Taylor Seaton, Morgan Driskell, Hannah Rounds and Hannah Dryden) second-place finish in 5:17.60 and the distance medley team’s (Seaton, Dryden, Kaia Bieker, Lilli Rooks)

second-place finish in 5:21.05.

Halle Evans and Brianna Fields grabbed second and third in the shot put with respective throws of 23 feet, 7 inches and 23-5. Fields’ discus throw of 67-4.5 was tops in the seventh-grade field as well.

Besides Fields’ record throw, the eighth-grade Panthers had a good night as well.

For the Panther runners, Sam Dunphy’s 14.51 second

sprint in the 100 meter dash earned her fifth place. Peyton Rice’s 30.08 was good for third in the 200 meter dash. Morgan Buxton ran a 1:10.47 in the 400, good for fourth place. Paige Davis and Ali Christensen’s runs of 2:59.19 and 3:00.19 respectively for fourth and fifth in the 800 meter run.

Braelyn Baker ran a 5:30.42 in the 1,500 for second and Davis ran it in 6:05.44 for fourth. Rachel Boyer and Dunphy went

three then four in the 100 hurdles.

The Panther relay units won first in the 4x400 (Boyer, Rice, Buxton, Baker), earned second in the 4x100, fifth in the 4x200, second in the 4x800 and second in the sprint medley.

Rice leaped her way to tops in the long jump by sailing 14-2.75 feet, and Fields had her previously-mentioned record throw in the discus and went for best in the shot by more than five feet with her toss of 30-3.

NASCAR THIS WEEK

Willis have covered NASCAR for nearly 60 years combined. godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com

BRISTOL

SPEED FREAKS A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

ken.willis@news-jrnl.com

QUESTIONS & AT T I T U D E Compelling questions ... and maybe a few actual answers

THREE THINGS WE LEARNED

Are you bored with Jimmie Johnson?

GODSPEAK: We go from “What’s wrong with Johnson?” to “Can Johnson be stopped?” It’s like turning the lights on and off. As Spock would say, “Fascinating.”

KEN’S CALL: Beyond bored. I’m now fixated on watching him chase 100 career wins.

Speeding? Is that any way to lose a race?

Some of us recall the crazy (in hindsight) days without speed limits on pit road. There’s no going back there. But watching Kyle Larson and Martin Truex Jr. both lose good shots at a Bristol win because of a penalty from the booth … to me it takes away a little something from Jimmie Johnson’s win.

But hey, he has 81 others, so he doesn’t need my approval.

Gotta ask, Will Junior win a race this year?

GODSPEAK: I got him down as the Richmond winner. Maybe Junior can swap cars with Jimmie for one weekend.

KEN’S CALL: Everyone closer than I am to the industry will say yes, but mostly because they really need him to be competitive and win races. From this distance, with what we’ve seen so far, I’m leaning toward no.

A NASCAR punch, and no one saw it?

Just when you think nothing on Earth escapes the gaze of cameras and, subsequently, social media, one NASCAR driver decks another and we have no photographic proof.

Jeremy Clements reportedly offers a decent shiner as evidence of Ross Chastain’s handiwork, but that’s about it.

They’re both midpackers in the Xfinity Series, which explains the obvious lack of attention.

It happened during a red-flag delay in Saturday’s race at Bristol. We think. There are more pictures of Bigfoot than this.

Kyle Larson, wheeling the No. 42 Chevrolet, led nearly half the laps at Bristol, but finished sixth on Monday. That seems to be a running theme this season. [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/BRIAN

Which former NASCAR track would you most like to see used again?

GODSPEAK: They built a California subdivision on the road course at Riverside, so my second choice is North Wilkesboro.

KEN’S CALL: Assuming Daytona’s old beach-and-road course is out of the question, I’d say Rockingham.

Easy.

1. Lead-lap blues

2. Junior’s wait

3. Last place

It seems like the driver who leads a bounty of laps is something of a sitting duck at race’s end. Case in point: Kyle Larson led a race-high 202 laps in his No. 42 Chevy and finished a distant sixth. Jimmie Johnson did lead three times for 81 laps, including the final lap on Monday.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s woes continued at Bristol when oil from his engine caused him to spin and hit the wall on Lap 218. He has only one top-10 finish. “We weren’t running that great, but we were working on our car,” he said. “Another bad finish. We’ve had a lot of them this year.”

We seldom hear from the last-place driver, so let’s show some love to Chris Buescher, who wrecked out on Lap 56. Asked what happened, Buescher said he didn’t have a clue. “I am honestly not really sure what happened,” he said.

“I ended up tearing the radiator out of the car.”

FEUD OF THE WEEK

— Godwin Kelly, godwin.kelly@news-jrnl.com

THREE THINGS TO WATCH 1. Three straight?

Clements Jimmie Johnson has won two consecutive Cup Series races (Texas, Bristol) and now takes aim at Richmond next weekend. While the win at Bristol was only his second there, he has three at Richmond. You don’t have to look deep into the record book for a driver with three straight wins.

Kyle Busch did it in 2015 by stringing together wins at Kentucky, New Hampshire and Indianapolis.

W H AT ’ S O N TA P CUP SERIES: Toyota Owners 400 SITE: Richmond International Raceway (.75-mile oval) TV SCHEDULE: Friday, practice (Fox Sports 1, 11:30 a.m. ET), qualifying (Fox Sports 1, 4:30 p.m. ET). Saturday, practice (Fox Sports 1, 9 a.m. & 11:30 a.m. ET). Sunday, race (coverage begins on Fox Sports 1, 11:30 a.m.; green flag, Fox, 1:30 p.m. ET)

2. Richmond winner The race this weekend at Richmond International Raceway is guaranteed to have a different winner than it produced in 2016.

Why? Because the driver who won Richmond’s spring race was Carl Edwards, who decided to exit the sport before the 2017 season started.

JEREMY CLEMENTS VS. ROSS CHASTAIN: During a red flag for rain in Saturday’s Xfinity race, Clements wanted to talk to Chastain about aggressive driving, and Chastain slugged him in the eye.

GODWIN KELLY’S TAKE: Clements explained it to ESPN. com. “I had no intention of hitting him,” Clements said. “He turned around and socked me.”

Clements spent most of the red flag in the care center.

Jimmie Johnson enjoys his second straight NASCAR Cup Series victory Monday at Bristol. Can he string it out to three consecutive wins? [NASCAR GETTY IMAGES/JARED C. TILTON] this race over the past five years. The list includes Kurt Busch, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch, who won four straight (2009-12).

3. Brickyard testing Several drivers won’t have much time off this week because Goodyear has scheduled a tire test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The lineup includes

Jimmie Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin and David Ragan. The Brickyard 400 will be staged July 23, but the track will have its Indy 500 race on Memorial Day weekend. To date, no driver has announced an attempt to run the 500 then rush to Charlotte for the 600.

GODWIN’S PICKS FOR RICHMOND WINNER: Dale Earnhardt Jr. REST OF TOP 5: Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski, Kyle Busch, Joey Logano FIRST ONE OUT: Kyle Larson DARK HORSE: Erik Jones DON’T BE SURPRISED IF: Earnhardt sheds his losing streak on one of his favorite racetracks.

Help save trauma patient lives by giving blood Red Cross urges blood and platelet donation during Trauma Awareness Month â–

During Trauma Awareness Month in May, the American Red Cross urges eligible donors to help ensure lifesaving blood is available for patients with traumatic injuries and other serious medical needs by donating blood or platelets.

According to the National Trauma Institute, trauma accounts for approximately 41 million emergency department visits and 2.3 million hospital admissions in the U.S. annually. “A single-car-accident victim can need as many as 100 units of blood,� said Amy Brown, donor recruitment director at Midwest Red Cross Blood Services. “In trauma situations, when there’s no time to check a patient’s blood type, emergency personnel reach for type O negative red blood cells and type AB plasma.�

O negative red blood cells and AB plasma can be transfused into any patient, regard-

less of blood type, making donors with these universal blood types an important part of the Red Cross trauma team. Less than 7 percent of the population has type O negative blood, and only about 4 percent of the population has type AB blood.

Platelets may also be needed to help with clotting in cases of massive bleeding.

Because platelets must be transfused within five days of donation, there is a constant, often critical, need to keep up with hospital demand.

Blood and platelet donors of all types are currently needed. Those who come out to donate blood or platelets

by May 14 will have a chance to win one of three $1,000 gift card shopping sprees from GiftCertificates.com.

Upcoming blood donation opportunities: • From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 2 at First Presbyterian Church, 907 Grove Ave., in Corning • From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 9 at First Christian Church, 201 W. Monroe St., in Mount Ayr • From noon to 6 p.m. May 4 at American Legion Hall,

106 W. Ohio St., in Lenox • From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. May 10 at Creston High School, 601 W. Townline St., in Creston

How to help Eligible donors can learn more, find a donation opportunity and schedule an appointment by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting www.redcrossblood.org or calling 800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767). A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in.

Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states, weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood donors can save time at their donation appointment by using RapidPass to complete their pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, prior to arriving at the blood drive.

To get started and learn more, visit www.redcrossblood.org/ RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.
