They would visit with children that were suffer- ing from various illnesses that required them to be hospital- ized. It was a perfect opportu- nity for the kids to receive a rare opportunity to meet real race drivers face-to-face. The event was dubbed as the Vic- tory Visit and was the second consecutive year it has taken place. “Last year we just had drivers from just Willamette Speedway come up,” com- mented event organizer Buzz Mitchell, who is a longtime race fan and track sponsor at the Lebanon 1/3-mile facil- ity. “This winter I ended up to talking to Heather (Boyce) down at Cottage Grove and wanted to include her too. I have a lot of friends from down there and I wanted to make sure they were in- volved.” In addition to meeting with patients, the visitors were also given a full tour of the facil- ity. After everything was said and done all parties involved would end the day with smiles on their faces. It proves just how wonderful and caring individuals in the racing com- munity are towards their fans and the public. 2A/1A SD3 Softball Team League Overall North Douglas Oakland Monroe Oakridge Lowell Yoncalla/Elkton Mohawk 5-0 3-0 3-0 3-2 1-3 0-4 0-6 10-2 6-3 4-2 3-5 3-5 2-7 0-9 “It is a trip that I look for- ward to every year,” said Willamette Speedway Race Director, Jeremy Means, “We had a lot more drivers from Willamette this time versus last. We even had more kids to see this year too which was very cool. A lot of the kids that I interacted with in the activi- ty room were girls and having female drivers there put a big smile on all their faces.” “I want to send a big thanks to Buzz Mitchell for invit- ing members of the Cottage Grove Speedway to be a part of such a moving event,” stat- ed Heather Boyce, General Manager of CGS, “I can’t wait to come back next year because it was so incredible to see all the kids’ reactions to visiting with all the drivers. It’s so heartwarming to see their lives touched in such a positive manner.” Shriners Hospitals for Chil- dren is a network of twen- ty-two non-profi t medical facilities across North Amer- ica.

Children might once have eagerly awaited those fi nal days of classes so they could lounge poolside, skip rocks across ponds and spend the long days of the season playing with friends. But many of today’s youngsters spend much of their summer vacations indoors playing with their digital devices. Perhaps that’s why one of the last vestiges of the classic summer vacation escape — summer camp — remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends. Although kids needn’t be in camp all summer long, a week or two can benefi ts campers of all ages. Th e following are fi ve reasons why summer camp might be the right fi t this year. 1. Explore talents: Summer camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized yet oft en easygoing camp schedule, kids can dabble in sports, arts and craft s, leadership, community support, and so many other activities that may not be fully available to them elsewhere. 2. Physical activity: Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes A limited number of need-based, partial tuition scholarships are available. Registration begins May 1.

Th is can be a welcome change for kids accustomed to living sedentary lifestyles. Regular physical activity has many health benefi ts, and can set a foundation for healthy habits as an adult. 3. Gain confi dence: Day and sleepaway camps off er campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in self-esteem by removing the academic measures of success, and fi ll in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed. Campers learn independence, decision-making skills and the ability to thrive outside of the shadow of their parents, siblings or other students. 4. Try new things: Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that’s learning to cook, exploring new environments or embracing a new sport or leisure activity. Opening oneself up to new opportunities can build character and prove enlightening for children. 5. Make new friends: Camp is a great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers fl ood in from areas near and far. Th is provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools. Camps benefi t children in a variety of ways. Lessons learned in camp can strengthen values, build confi dence, develop coping mechanisms when adversity strikes, and enable campers to make lifelong friends.
