Walk for Riley takes place Saturday

News

April 25th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Firefighters in Atlantic have organized a fundraising walk for a 5-year old Atlantic girl who is fighting metastatic colorectal cancer since her diagnosis last September. Riley Slauson’s cancer has spread and she is undergoing rounds of chemotherapy. A walk in her honor and will take place tomorrow (Sat., April 26th). Shawn Sarsfield, a 13-year veteran of the Atlantic Volunteer Fire Department, has been following the girl’s saga on her Facebook page “Super Riley.” Sarsfield says he’s been captivated by her story.

He says the girl has put together a “Bucket list,” which includes a trip to Disneyworld with her family, and to become a firefighter. To make that part of her wish come true, the Atlantic Fire Department will make Riley an “Honorary firefighter.” The walk involves members of the Atlantic Fire and Rescue Department, Atlantic Police Department, Cass County Sheriffs and The Iowa State Patrol. Each of the participants will be wearing their respective uniforms. It takes place tomorrow (Sat., April 26th), from 8-a.m. to 5-p.m., beginning at the Atlantic Fire Station.

The walk will proceed east on 7th Street to Wal-Mart, around to Hospital Drive and onto 10th Street. The participants will then turn north onto Chestnut Street toward the downtown area, before winding their way back to the fire station. Afterward, Riley will be presented with her Honorary Fire fighter Shirt and Certificate.

Those wanting to help Riley’s parents with the medical and other expenses, can drop-off your pledges or donations at the Atlantic Fire Station on Saturday, from 8- to 5, or, leave donations with any of the walkers as they make their way through town tomorrow. There’s also an account set-up at Wells Fargo Bank in Atlantic. All the funds raised will be directed to Riley’s family.

Young, Granderson, Colon lead Mets over Cards 4-1

Sports

April 25th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

NEW YORK (AP) – Chris Young homered to start New York’s comeback and slumping Curtis Granderson singled in a run as a pinch hitter as Bartolo Colon and the Mets beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-1 Thursday to send Lance Lynn to his first career loss in April.

Colon allowed four hits in seven innings, struck out eight and walked none. Carlos Torres and Scott Rice split the eighth, and Daisuke Matsuzaka finished the four-hitter with a perfect ninth for his first save since 2000 with the Seibu Lions of Japan’s Pacific League.

New York took three of four from the defending NL champions and has won four of five overall.

JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) – The five Republicans seeking Iowa’s U.S. Senate nomination have met to debate at Iowa Public Television’s studios near Des Moines. College professor Sam Clovis of Sioux City, state Sen. Joni Ernst of Red Oak, retired business executive Mark Jacobs of West Des Moines, businessman Scott Schaben of Urbandale, and former U.S. attorney Matt Whitaker of Clive all participated in Thursday night’s 90-minute live broadcast.

It’s the first statewide televised debate for the candidates, who are vying to win 35 percent of the vote in the June 3 primary. If no candidate meets the threshold, a party convention will decide the nomination.

The Republican nominee will face U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley of Waterloo, the only Democrat seeking the seat held by retiring five-term Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin.
