The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest of a Stanton man Friday afternoon. Just before 3:00 Friday, 18-year-old Drew Dale Goodrich of Stanton was arrested for 3rd degree theft. He was transported to the Montgomery Count Jail where he was being held on $2,000 cash bond.
The St. Louis Cardinals placed have outfielder Allen Craig on the 15-day disabled list on Friday because of a left hamstring strain, along with reliever Kyle McClellan due to an elbow strain.
The move with Craig is retroactive to May 17. He was hitting .373 in 13 games with 19 RBIs and five home runs – all of them during a seven-game stretch. He began the season on the DL with a sore right knee.
McClellan had a 5.30 ERA in 16 appearances, allowing 11 earned runs, 16 hits and nine walks in 18 2-3 innings.
Outfielder Adron Chambers and right-hander Brandon Dickson were recalled from Triple-A Memphis before the opener of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
A.J. Ellis drew a bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning, helping the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night in the opener of a series between the NL West and Central Division leaders.
Los Angeles’ Adam Kennedy had four hits against his former team and James Loney drove in two runs.
Cardinals first baseman Lance Berkman, 3 for 31 with 10 strikeouts against Dodgers left-hander Ted Lilly, was not in St. Louis’ starting lineup despite having led the NL with 22 road home runs last season. He came up with two outs in the ninth as a pinch-hitter for Shane Robinson and drove an 0-1 pitch from closer Kenley Jansen into the pavilion seats in right-center for his first homer in 41 at-bats this season – ending the longest season-opening drought of his 14-year career.
There’s a dire need for volunteers to help out at several Department of Veterans Affairs facilities in western Iowa and eastern Nebraska. Will Ackerman, spokesman for the V-A’s Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System, says the vital corps of hundreds of volunteers absolutely help to keep the system running.
“We’re seeing a lot of our volunteers aging and certainly some of them are retiring or even passing away,” Ackerman says. “We’re really trying to encourage people of all ages, but especially some of our younger population, to get involved.” He says volunteers are needed for a number of services throughout the V-A health care system.
“We have about 800 volunteers throughout our Nebraska/Western Iowa Health Care System,” he says. “They do so many things that we just don’t have staff to do, such as doing coffee rounds in the lobby or around the floors, we have a transportation network and just greeters at our front door.” Ackerman says it isn’t just the V-A Hospital in Omaha that needs volunteers, but there are veterans’ clinics, community living centers and other facilities in many cities around the region, including Shenandoah.
“Volunteers do a lot of very important things and certainly there’s an opportunity for them to volunteer at a location that’s even closer to where they might live,” he says. Volunteer orientation classes are being held frequently in various facilities, often twice a month. An orientation class for teens, between 13 and 18, is planned at the Omaha V-A Medical Center for June 1st. Contact your nearest V-A facility for details on volunteering opportunities.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The New York Jets have promoted Jeff Bauer to director of college scouting, filling the vacancy created when Joey Clinkscales left to become Oakland’s director of player personnel. The Jets also hired Kevin Kelly on Friday as an area scout after he served in the same role the last three seasons for Indianapolis. Bauer is entering his 12th season with the Jets, and spent the last 11 seasons covering the Midwest as a scout. He was a high school and middle school football coach for 11 years before joining the Jets. Bauer played safety at Iowa State from 1987-90. Kelly was an area scout for Cleveland from 2001-08.
Chaley Rath of Treynor defended her state title in the Class 1A girls High Jump on Friday afternoon at Drake Stadium. Rath cleared 5 feet, 8.25 inches for the victory and set a new Class 1A record in the process. She broke the previous record of 5 feet, 8 inches that was set in 2004 by Jenni Elbert of Laurens-Marathon.
The Griswold Tigers Girls Track team is in the lead of the Class 1A team standings at the 2012 State Track Meet heading into the final day. Griswold currently holds 30 team points and lead second placed Earlham by 6 points.
The Tigers have three events competing on Saturday with the Sprint Medley Team running in the opening event of the day and both Rebekah Topham and Alyx Flippen running in the 1500M Finals. Topham and Flippen finished 1-2 in the 3000m run so they look for a strong showing in the 1500M as well. Topham will also compete in the 800 Meter Run Finals as well.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa sophomore Jade Rogers and freshman Virginia Johnson are ending their college careers because of chronic injuries. Rogers played in just 13 games in 2010-11 because of a left knee injury and later had surgery to help realign her knee. Rogers missed the entire 2011-12 season, and coach Lisa Bluder says her decision to walk away was a tough one. Johnson battled concussions in high school and during her first year at Iowa. She was only able to play in 13 games. Bluder says that while Johnson would have competed for a starting spot in 2012-13, the risk of further concussions couldn’t be dismissed.
