With Bryan Clauson in mind, Zeb Wise wins the second BC 39 - Indianapolis Star
Tuesday, September 10, 2019It felt like I was going to." However, it was Larson who was temporarily subdued with a rear flat tire. Wise was able to recover, but saw 2018 BC 39 winner Brady Bacon in front of him as the green flag came back out. However, with just seven laps remaining, Wise once again pulled his way to the front. This time, it was a lead he wouldn't give up. The win is Wise's third of the year in the 2019 National Midget Series. Wise's smile remained as he stepped down from the stage. Only a few of the near-8,000 people who watched him hoist the checkered flag remained in the stands as he prepared to take the trophy to the Yard of Bricks. Despite the joy, Wise was able to remember the person and family who gave him a chance. "(Bryan) would probably be mad that I beat him and he didn't win," Wise said. "But, I'm sure he'd be just as happy for me. ... I'm just happy to be driving for his dad and carrying on his legacy." Email sports reporter Tyler Kraft at TKraft@gannett.com.

New York Giants: Flowers' roller coaster offseason continues
Tuesday, June 05, 2018It’s been a roller coaster offseason for New York Giants offensive tackle Ereck Flowers.The former first-round pick lost his starting left tackle job to Nate Solder. The Giants signed Tom Brady’s longtime blindside protector to a four-year, $62 million contract in free agency, according to Spotrac. Head coach Pat Shurmur informed Flowers that he would be moving to right tackle to compete for the starting role after the signing. That reportedly didn’t sit well with Flowers. He was the only player not to report for the start of the team’s voluntary offseason workout program.The Giants then reportedly put Flowers on the trade block ahead of the 2018 NFL Draft. The only problem was Big Blue received no appealing offers for the 6-foot-6, 329-pound offensive tackle. The G-Men then declined to pick up Flowers’ fifth-year option on his rookie contract, which came as no surprise. The decision puts Flowers in a position to set himself up for free agency in 2019. However, Flowers will not only have to win the right tackle role for that happen, he will need to play well.Flowers has since reported to the Giants training facility and Shurmur has already seen... https://gmenhq.com/2018/05/30/new-york-giants-ereck-flowers-roller-coaster-offseason/

Petals by the Beach uses donation to spread kindness through flowers - A beach florist got an unusual contribution and request recently: $500 from a Pacific Beach woman to pass out flowers to random passers-by. “We have never seen such generosity ... - San Diego Community News
Tuesday, September 10, 2019That was pretty cool.”The donation came from Pacific Beach resident Thera Storm, who is a grief counselor. Storm said the recent back-to-back mass shootings in Texas and Ohio, that left at least 31 people dead, prompted her to do something extraordinary.“After those two shootings within 13 hours of each other, I noticed the reaction on Facebook was just so scary and negative,” said Storm. “The next morning I sat down and thought, ‘What could I do that’s positive?’ Then I had the idea of donating money to a local flower shop.”Storm was almost afraid of the reaction she’d get from Cummings, whom she didn’t know, when she approached her with her unorthodox plan. But Storm shouldn’t have worried.“She donated a generous amount at our shop for us to pass out flowers to complete strangers,” said Cummings. “She wasn’t paying it forward. In her words, ‘She wanted to spread kindness to the masses.’”Cummings took Storm’s money and honored her request.“For two weeks I’ve been passing out flowers every day to random people walking by of all different ages,” Cummings said, adding she wasn’t embarrassed about it. “I just said, ‘We had a customer recently donate a significant amount of money, and we’re spreading kindness and happiness.’”The reaction to Storm’s flower donation has been uplifting. “People said that is so nice, we need more of that,” said Cummings, adding, “A few people even cried. I began taking pictures (of recipients) and putting them on our Facebook and Instagram pages.”“I feel like I had a very small, passive role,” said Storm of her gesture. “All of the work has been done by Melissa.”It’s Storm's practice to take 10 percent of every paycheck and stash it away to do something special at a later date. Asked if being a grief counselor facto... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27660789/article-Petals-by-the-Beach-uses-donation-to-spread-kindness-through-flowers-?instance=bbp
