Chiefs Trying to Build Team Chemistry in Camp

Sports

August 22nd, 2011 by Jim Field

     KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin spent Sunday’s practice riding a stationary bike and doing work with a trainer on the sideline, his right hand heavily bandaged after he reportedly got into an altercation with running back Thomas Jones.  Head coach Todd Haley would not address the situation that
occurred last week, calling it “family business.” Neither player was available to comment following practice.  Jones took part in the full workout in the Chiefs’ first
practice since breaking training camp in St. Joseph, Mo. They’re trying to get back on track after losing their second preseason game Friday night at Baltimore.
     They play the St. Louis Rams in their annual in-state rivalry game this Friday night.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – Heavy rain has flooded some streets and basements in far western Iowa and eastern Nebraska. Standing water blocked streets early Monday morning in Council Bluffs and across the Missouri River in Omaha, Neb. Council Bluffs officials asked residents in the Playland Park neighborhood on the west side of the city to remain in their homes until the rain runoff had dropped to safe levels. No evacuations were ordered. The American Red Cross says it was opening a shelter at Community of Christ Church on the east side of the city so people have a place to stay.

In Omaha, some streets just north of downtown were closed, and golfball-sized hail was observed.  Two- to three-inch diameter hail which fell at around 3:45-a.m. ,broke out several automobile windows in the Bellevue, NE.,   No injuries or deaths have been reported.

The National Weather Service in Valley, NE, reports 2.79-inches of rain had fallen near Glenwood, with three separate waves of hail ranging from pea to quarter-sized having fallen, as well. In Carter Lake, 3.31-inches of rain had fallen by 5-a.m., and anywhere from two-to three-inches of rain had fallen in the Omaha/Council Bluffs metro area.

Riedemann trial delayed in Atlantic (updated 1-p.m.)

August 22nd, 2011 by Ric Hanson

The trial in the case of a Griswold woman charged with vehicular homicide was set to begin Tuesday, in Atlantic, but Cass County Attorney Dan Feistner said today (Monday) it‘s instead been continued until December 13th. 45-year-old Christine Annette Riedemann was charged with Vehicular Homicide and Possession of Marijuana, following an investigation into a June 2010 accident near Atlantic, that claimed the life of 44-year old Katrina L. Christensen, of Atlantic.  Earlier this month, Judge Jeffrey L. Larsen denied the defenses’ motion to suppress evidence or testimony in the case.

Reidemann was allegedly behind the wheel of an SUV that went out of control the evening of June 4th, 2010, as it was traveling west on Highland Road. The vehicle entered a ditch, hit a utility pole and overturned. Both women were brought to the Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic, where Christensen died from her injuries. The State Patrol says both women were wearing their seatbelts.

Two separate blood-alcohol tests each indicated Riedemann was above the legal limit to drive. She was also found to have allegedly been in possession of marijuana.

Father of an Atlantic native who died in Kansas Air Show Crash talks about his son’s love for flying

Bryan Jensen with his biplane "The Beast"

The father of an Atlantic native who died over the weekend while performing aerobatic maneuvers at an air show in Kansas City, Missouri, says his son was fascinated by airplanes ever since he was about 10-years old. As we told you on KJAN.com and during our overnight news casts this weekend, 50-year old Bryan Jensen of Ponte Vedra, Florida, was killed, when the biplane he was flying crashed into the runway at the Wheeler Downtown Airport. The accident happened at around 1:45-p.m., Saturday.

Bryan’s father, Don Jensen, told WHO-TV in Des Moines, his son loved to fly ever since he took his first airplane ride. When Bryan was 13, his father says he found a “learn to fly” coupon in the Atlantic newspaper. He took his first flying lesson for just $5. Bryan got his flying license before his driver’s license. Family friend Gary Degeest told the tv station Bryan would explain what it was it was like to feel the g-forces push him back into the pilot’s seat, and the effect it had on the body.

Bryan had more than 23,000 hours of flight time experience. His website, www.beastairshows.com said that he soloed on his 16th birthday and as an adult flew jumbo jets for Delta Air Lines. Jensen, who graduated from the Atlantic High School in 1979, lived in Florida, and had been a stunt pilot the past 15 years. The accident which claimed his life took place in front of a stunned crowd of thousand, on the first day of the Kansas City Aviation Expo Air Show. Bryan’s girlfriend CC, also flew stunt planes. She had just finished her routine in Kansas City Saturday afternoon, and witnessed the crash.

According to eye-witnesses, Jensen’s custom-built, red biplane was performing aerobatic maneuvers, such as loops and spiral stunts, when it did a downward spiral but failed to pull up. The plane crashed nose-first into the pavement and burst into flames. The Kansas City Star says as the crowd went silent, emergency crews headed for the wreckage, and the show immediately was closed, but the performances resumed on Sunday. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the accident.

Air Show director Ed Noyallis read a brief statement in a hangar after the crash. “Our hearts go out to Bryan’s family and loved ones.” He went on to note that aerobatic flying can be very dangerous, although the public was never in danger. Don Jensen says he wanted his son to be a farmer, but his love of flying was too powerful. Still, he was proud of Bryan’s accomplishments. Funeral services for Bryan Jensen are currently pending at the Hockenberry Family Care Funeral Home, in Atlantic.
