COLONIAL HEIGHTS FALLS IN CHAMPIONSHIP GAME, LOGANO ON THE POLE

The Colonial Heights Optimist Club team lost to the CBC Americans last night in the Championship Game of the BIB Tournament 3-1 in 8 innings. The CH team fell behind 1-0 early in the game but tied it up at 1-1 in the 4th inning before falling 3-1, there were several great defensive plays in the game which kept the game tied at 1-1 before CBC pulled out the win. Joey Logano captured the pole for today's Sprint Cup race at Pocono edging out Kasey Kahne for the top spot, lets hope it doesn't rain at Pocono today because yesterdays truck race had to be stopped because of rain. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. won last night Nationwide race at Iowa in a very wild finish, Stenhouse car blew an engine on the final lap coming of turn four and Carl Edwards who was running 2nd got caught up in the oil slammed into Stenhouse's car sending across the line in front of Edwards giving him the win. With the competition getting tougher in this years football contest it has come to my attention that one of our players has gone out and bought one of those college football preview magazines hoping to help his efforts this year. I am in a bit of a sleep rut for some reason, I seem to sleep good for about 4 hours every night and then I woke up and toss and turn until it's time to get up. MICKEY

Calming irritated skin, baking soda
Used topically, baking soda takes the sting out of sunburn and minimizes the itch and discomfort caused by a variety of skin conditions (including eczema, prickly heat, and poison ivy). "Sodium bicarbonate is a mild alkaline compound that can help neutralize the pH balance of your skin," says Linda K. Franks, MD, a clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University. "This 'buffering effect' may help quell the inflammation that occurs at the skin's surface, easing your soreness."

To get relief, place a cup of baking soda under a running bath tap so it dissolves completely, and then soak in the water for about 30 minutes.
