Fallen veterans remembered at Memorial Day service

By Mary Mount Dunbar Staff Writer

Henderson and Chester County remembered the nation’s fallen veterans on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27. The program was organized by Chester County Veterans’ Services Director Russell Clayton in conjunction with American Legion Post 157 and held in the council chamber at Henderson City Hall.

In is opening remarks, Chester County Mayor Dwain Seaton quoted the often-cited words of President John F. Kennedy: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” He stated the on Memorial Day, those words ring especially true as those who are remembered each year paid the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Henderson man survives near drowning Monday A possible medical condition led to a near drowning Monday at a residence on Old Friendship Road. However, quick action by friends on the scene possibly saved the man’s life.

According to the Chester County Sherriff ’s office, a call came in at 3:26 p.m. Monday of a drowning at 460 Old Friendship Road. Daryl Lynn McCaskill had been found at the bottom of a swimming pool. He was administered CPR on the scene, and later, after emergency personnel arrived, McCaskill was reportedly sitting up and responsive in the ambulance.

McCaskill was taken by helicopter to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital where he was listed in fair condition Tuesday afternoon.

Bader Gym demolition making way for campus plan Bader Gymnasium on the FreedHardeman University campus has seen its final days. As part of a master plan for the campus which was approved by the FHU Board of Trustees, Bader will be demolished beginning this week.

Currently, furnishings and other equipment are gone from the building, much of the gym flooring has been removed, and the swimming pool drained. The area

where Bader is currently located is to be left open with walks and landscaping but no planned building in the area.

The university has plans for an eventual replacement for Bader, including a pool, but no immediate plans for its construction.

In 1962, FreedHardeman began raising money to build a multi-purpose building that would include a gymnasium, classrooms and a swimming pool.

The pool at Bader Gym, at one time one of the finest in west Tennessee, is now outdated and held its last classes earlier this year.

Administrators anticipated needing $150,000, a figure that would increase to approximately $200,000 by the time of construction. Wayne Poucher, a well known speaker and producer of the radio and television program “Lifeline,” spoke at a benefit dinner Dec. 3.

A total of 263 people attended at $100 a plate. Including donations, $56,000 was a raised that night.

After numerous other attempts to raise money, two weeks before construction was scheduled to begin, fundraising was still incomplete.

FHC President H.A. Dixon became aware of a couple in Southeast Missouri who might be able to help with the funds.

He arranged a meeting with J.W. and Miriam Bader of New Madrid County, Mo. Despite the fact that neither had ever been on the FHC campus, the Baders were

Memorial Speaking on the significance of Memorial Day as a day to honor fallen veterans, Jernigan stated that for many, Memorial Day simply signifies the start of summer and the excuse for a three-day weekend. In the aftermath of the Civil War, Decoration Day began as a day to honor the soliders on both sides who lost their lives in war. It was originally observed on May 30, but in 1968, the date was changed to the last Monday in May to create a three-day weekend.

Jernigan stated the the creation of the three-day Memorial Day weekend had, in his opinion, undermined the true meaning of the day.

He also spoke about the history and legacy of Arlington National Cemetery, which has averaged eight veteran burials per day.

Henderson Mayor Bobby King reinforced the significance of Memorial Day and added, “This is one thing we really enjoy using this building [City Hall] for.”

Austin Bentley played “Taps” to conclude the ceremony, and Melvin White, chaplain of American Legion Post 157 led the prayer and benediction.

Mr. Bader died Dec. 28, 1962, and Mrs. Bader agreed to give the money in memory of her husband.

Groundbreaking ceremonies were held May 14, 1963.

Approximately $60,000 was still needed for the project since estimated costs had increased.

The building was finished in the fall of 1963, but not by the beginning of the semester as had been hoped.

Bader Gym opened Nov. 27, 1963, with the Freed-Hardeman College Lions beating the David Lipscomb junior varsity basketball team 84-73.

Unfortunately, neither of the Baders were present at the dedication. Mr. Bader had died in 1962 and Mrs. Bader died shortly See BADER, Page 16-A

The Chester County Emergency Medical Service and Air Evac Fourth Installment in the Heroes of Chester County Series

by Marney E. Gilliam Staff Writer

When you’ve been injured and need immediate assistance, you know you can rely on the Chester County Emergency Medical Service (EMS) to respond. This highlytrained team of men and women provide life saving care in an emergency.

But what happens when you’re hurt out in the middle of nowhere?

Maybe you’re out in a field and no ambulance can get to you. What if your injuries are so acute that a traditional over the road ambulance can’t get you to the hospital fast enough. That’s when the men and women of Air Evac take flight.

Over the following pages these heroes share what they love about their job, the frustrations they face and their advice to others thinking about working in the field.

The Chester County Emergency Medical Service Kevin King Kevin King, 38, has

been with EMS 17 years. He is currently a paramedic who describes his job as “help[ing] the sick and injured in any way I

rid of it.”

When asked whether he has a favorite memory, he became very serious, but didn’t hesitate “No,

“The most important part of the job to Cox is “being willing to serve. In the snow and in the rain. Just being willing to serve.”

Michele Cox can.” He was an Emergency Medical Technician for a year before becoming a paramedic. There are some things that you can do as a paramedic that you can’t do as an EMT such as “advanced airways stuff, there’s drugs that we can give that EMTs can’t give, just the assessment of the patient.

It’s more advanced.”

In the past King has worked part-time in Hardeman and Henderson counties.

He always had a desire to become an EMT. “I always wanted to do it from a child.” because, he laughs, “it was exciting.

You just watch it on TV when you’re young and you see it when you’re driving around town and it’s just something about it. It gets in your blood and you can’t get

I try to forget all of it.

Really. When I go home I try to forget every bit of it. I couldn’t tell you what I did last week at work. I could tell you what I did at home but not at work.”

While King enjoys “the hours and the people. We work 24 hours a day, and then we get a lot of time off,” there is a grime side to it in “the stuff we have to look at.”

Over the years the job has become “a lot busier” according to King. The reasons for this are many. “You can just take your pick.

It could be anything from the younger generation not being willing to help themselves to the older folks getting older. And you add all that together and it gets worse.”

Michelle Cox Michelle Cox, 50, has

been with EMS 10 years. She is currently an EMT IV. As such she “assists the paramedic ... start IVs … help with the ill and injured.” Before that she was an office manager. In 1998 she decided to make a career change and went back to school. Paramedics who attended her mother inspired her to choose the profession. “[My mother] had cancer and when they came and got her to carry her to be pronounced, their compassion just showed.”

When considering her favorite memories, she said “I don’t guess one thing sticks out.

There’s just a multitude of things that we do. Just helping the elderly up off the floor.

They just call for help. … I guess in our profession, a lot goes unseen that we do.”

Cox appreciates “the opportunity to work in this community and help the people. I like my coworkers. We work in some really tough situations and they’re like a second family here. You have to become close. You have to trust the people you work with that when it gets bad, they’ve got your back.”

Solemnly, Cox confides that the hardest part of the job is “death. And it doesn’t matter what age. It’s somebody’s family. It’s somebody’s mom, dad, uncle. So I mean, it does not matter. That’s somebody’s loved one and especially when there’s nothing you can do. You know, you walk into a room and you know, and you know they know, but there’s nothing you can do for them. And that’s when the handholding comes in. You pat backs, you hug and you hold hands.”

She imparted some hard earned wisdom to those entering the field. “Just make sure you know that you want to do this. This job is not for everybody. And I didn’t think it was for me. I

And holidays and weekends, when a call comes in, we have to go. It doesn’t matter.”

delivering medical equipment for a company in Jackson and it just sort of grew into that. In that line you’re helping people by getting them supplies that they need or maybe a hospital bed or something like that. But this right here, it’s just a more personal avenue to do that.”

The abuse of the system by those who don’t truly need it

“There’s a lot of people who go to work every day and they’re there for the check and they’re there because they have to be. … I come to work because this is something I love to do. It doesn’t get old to me. I mean I love flying. I love taking care of people.”

been with EMS 22 years. He came to Chester County around Easter of 2012.

Before that he worked in Madison County. He is a paramedic and explained, “It’s about along the same lines as a Registered Nurse.

You assess your patient and just treat accordingly. We have protocols to go by of things we do for certain situations. We can do basically more than a RN can do without a doctor standing over you. We go out and assess them and anything that needs treating before they get to the hospital, we take care of it to a certain extent.”

Warren was drawn to the profession from an early age. “I started out after high school ...

upsets Warren.

“TennCare came in 20 years ago I think. I can remember when it came in … they were more liberal in what they paid. If I remember correctly when it was set up, if you went to your doctor you had to pay a $5 copay but if you went to the emergency room you didn’t have to pay anything.

So the way I see it, it was set up backwards to begin with, and it’s gone downhill from there. Now we have to justify everything we do for Medicare because they have been taken advantage of for so long. I think it’s just catching back up with us.” But Warren sees that over his years of service there have been See HEROES, Page 14-A

Jerry King (our son) and Lisa Dunivan had a beauti-

high school, and also sold Avon products.

She lived away from Chester County for 20 years while her husband Larry Wright was in the Air Force.

They returned to Henderson in 1977, and Eva Mae again worked briefly at Mosiers Pharmacy.

For a couple of years she and Larry ran Hilltop Grocery, followed by six years for Eva at The Out of Towne Shop.

On March 13, 1987, the Wright Shoes opened downtown on E. Main Street. The business prospered,

but on March 5, 1996, an adjacent downtown building collapsed, and the entire block of buildings was condemned. Facing an emergency situation, many friends pitched in to help move the merchandise and furnishings, and within four days the Wright Shoes re-opened at its present location.

Larry Wright passed away in 2009, and Eva married Alvin Jones of Beech Bluff in 2011.

On Friday Eva Jones completes and celebrates 26 years in the same business as owner or co-owner.

Coney Island reopened this weekend, after the devastating hurricane Sandy, and I found this article and thought it was interesting “Dreamland was an ambitious amusement park at Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York City from 1904 to 1911.

It contained primarily freak shows.

“Created by a Tammany Hall-connected businessman William H. Reynolds, Dreamland was supposed to be (relatively) high-class entertainment, with elegant architecture, pristine white towers and some educational exhibits along with the rides and thrills. It was reputed to have one million electric light bulbs illuminating and outlining its buildings—quite a novelty at the time. “ A m o n g Dreamland’s attractions were a railway that ran through a Swiss alpine landscape, imitation Venetian canals with gondolas, a “Lilliputian Village” with three hundred dwarf inhabitants, and a demonstration of firefighting in which two thousand people pretended to put out a blazing six-story building. The side shows were owned by the Dicker family (they also owned the hotel next to the park, which burned down in the blaze reported below).

There was also a display of baby incubators, where premature babies were cared for and exhibited. The story of the first premature triplet infants is very interesting. The triplets were the members of the Dicker family. The doctors advised them of the new invention, but they could not use it because incubators were not approved for use in hospitals. So the triplets were placed in the side show, which was allowed. Two survived. They lived on to have full lives until their passing. In a bid for publicity, the park put famous Broadway actress Marie Dressler in charge of the peanutand-popcorn stands, with young boys dressed as imps in red flannel acting as salesmen. Dressler was said to be in love with Dreamland’s dashing, handlebar-mustachioed, one-armed lion tamer who went by the name of Captain Bonavita.

“In spite of its many draws, Dreamland struggled to compete with nearby Luna Park, which was better managed. In preparation for its 1911 season, many changes were made.

Samuel W. Gumpertz (later director of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus) was put in the park’s top executive post. The buildings, once all painted white in a bid for elegance, were redone in bright colors. On the night before opening day, a concession called Hell Gate, in which visitors took a boat ride on rushing waters through dim caverns, was undergoing lastminute repairs by a roofing company owned by Samuel Engelstein. A leak had to be caulked with tar.

During these repairs, at about 1:30 in the morning on Saturday, May 27, 1911, the light bulbs that illuminated the operations began to explode, perhaps because of an electrical malfunction. In the darkness, a worker kicked over a bucket of hot pitch, and soon Hell Gate was in flames.

“The fire quickly spread throughout the park. The buildings were made of frames of lath (thin strips of wood) covered with staff (a moldable mixture of plaster of Paris and hemp fiber). Both

Thursday, May 30, 2013 materials were highly flammable, and as they were common in the Coney Island amusement parks, fires were a persistent problem there. Because of this, a new high-pressure water pumping station had been constructed at Twelfth Street and Neptune Avenue a few years earlier. But on this night it failed.

Water was available, but not enough to contain the fire before it enveloped Dreamland.

“Chaos broke loose as the park burned. As the one-armed Captain Bonavita strove to save his big cats with only the swiftly encroaching flames for illumination, some of the terrified animals escaped. A lion named Black Prince rushed into the streets, among crowds of onlookers, and was shot by police. By morning, the fire was out, and Dreamland was reduced to a soggy, smoldering mess.

“Early editions of The New York Times claimed the incubator babies had perished in the flames, but later the paper corrected this and reported that they had all been saved.

“Though other Coney Island parks were rebuilt after major fires, some multiple times, Dreamland was abandoned after the fire of 1911.

“Dreamland was located between Surf Avenue and the Atlantic Ocean at West Eighth Street opposite Culver Depot, the terminal of New York City Subway’s Brighton and Culver Lines. The site is now the location of the New York Aquarium and the West Eighth Street station.”

Hello to everyone! It is me again. Greetings from the City. For this is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it. I am so glad to be an American; to have the freedom we have. In some countries people can not even confess to being a Christian.

Before we get started let’s remember the families and loved ones in Oklahoma and Texas where the tornados hit; let’s continue to pray for them and help any way we can. I hope everyone had a wonderful week. I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day. On Saturday, May 25 the Chester County VFW’s first pancake breakfast was a success! The members worked very hard. The VFW’s new 2013-2014 officers are Bill Jewell - Commander, Greg Blankenship - Senior Vice Commander, Donald Rouse Adjutant, Gloria Holiday Q u a r t e r m a s t e r, George Bishop – Chaplain, and Curtis Allen and Frank Holiday – Members. A very special “Thank You” goes out to Marie Bishop, wife of George Bishop, who was there volunteering and helping with the breakfast.

We, the members, do appreciate you. We would also like to thank all of you that purchased the tickets and came out to eat.

Senator Dolores Gresham and her husband came by and had breakfast also.

The residents at Southern Oaks were so glad to have the rain last week because their vegetables are growing quickly and they are ready to eat them. Their taste buds are already salivating just thinking of all those delicious veggies they will soon get to devour. The residents knew the day to win back the trophy from the Seniors Citizen was approaching fast, so they got their practice in, hoping to win the trophy back.

Thursday morning the seniors from the Senior Citizens Center came for the monthly bowling challenge. For the last four or five months they have held the title of “Wii Bowling Champions,” and have had the prized trophy displayed at the Senior Citizens Center - but not this month. The Southern Oaks residents won the trophy back, and are proudly displaying it in their dining room for all to see. Scores were high for everyone, but Southern Oaks’ scores were just a bit higher than the seniors from the center. In the first game Mr. Jerry Cook bowled a 176, Mr. J.D. King 146, Mr. Ed Cherry 154 and Ms. Dorothy Massey a 159.

In the second game Ms. Martha Jones bowled a 149, Ms. Polly

Proffitt scored the highest of anyone with a 214, Ms. Robbie Stanfill rolled a 158 and Activities Director Nancy Connell, bowled a 189.

All in all it was a fun time, and they hope to keep the trophy for quite a while! Marty Wilkins came for her weekly Bible Study, moving from Leviticus into Psalms. The book of Psalms is so comforting and uplifting.

Samantha Brasher from Westwood Health Care and Rehabilitation located in Decaturville came to call Bingo. She brought some great prizes with her and gave them all away!

Tuesday afternoon one of the residents, Mr. C.O. Hays, 93, had some special visitors who drove all the way here from Paducah, Ky. Mrs. Judy Clayton and her husband, Johnny Clayton, hand delivered a newly published book to Mr. Hays. Mrs. Clayton, when gathering information for the book, had previously visited Mr. Hays to interview him. The Department of Energy had authorized Mrs. Clayton and others to interview exemployee’s about the history of the Paducah Atomic Energy Plant. The plant was constructed from 1951 to 1956 as part of a United States Government program to produce highly enriched uranium to fuel military reactors and produce nuclear weapons. Mr. Hays was an employee with the company from 1951 until his retirement in early 1985. During this time he watched the plant being built from the ground up. Mr. Hays is referenced in this book several times. One of the references has him quoted as saying, “I was the first C-300 operator at the Plant. C-300 was still under construction and so was mostly empty, but there was a wooden desk and a crank telephone with an overhead wire in the power pit. That was the contact with the C-532 Relay House.

My job was to contact the Relay House every half hour. They had a printout of how much power we were taking and I started a log on how much power we were using every half hour.”

Stuffed rib roast gives everyday dinners a special touch of class Stuffed pork rib roast

I don’t normally think of stuffing pork chops. I guess I’ve grown accustomed to the standard grilled or breaded and fried chops, but stuffing and roasting a pork rib roast is a wonderful new take on an old standard.

My husband, who happens to be an excellent cook, surprised me with this recipe one day after work. As fancy as it sounds, it really doesn’t require too much extra work to achieve a special anytime meal. This dish is so versital it can range from weeknight to company, and no one will know that you didn’t spend all day in the kitchen.

The most difficult part is cutting the slit for the stuffing. You need to be sure that you have a very sharp knife. It should be thin but not so thin that it is flimsy. Cut your opening about threeinches in diameter, and if necessary you can cut from both ends and meet in the middle. In fact, it’s probably easier that way to ensure that you have a straight cut. Once the cut goes through the entire roast, use a wooden spoon to widen the opening enough that the stuffing will fit.You can pack the stuffing into the roast with a spoon, but don’t be afraid to get your hands a little messy. The stuffing should fill the entire cavity evenly, and the more packed it is, the better it will hold together during cooking and serving.

Once the roast has finished cooking and has rested for the full 10 minutes, slice the roast into 6 chops. The stuffing will show in the middle and make a great presentation.

Serve with your favorite vegetables, such as asparagus or broccoli.

Ingredients: 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or hard cider 1/3 cups pomegranate “seeds” ¼ cup pecan halves, toasted and chopped 2 green onions 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 1 teaspoon fennel seeds, toasted and crushed ½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus additional for seasoning Freshly ground black pepper 1 (6-rib) center-cut pork roast ribs, Frenched (about 4 pounds) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 cup sour cream ½ cup Dijon mustard Directions: Heat the cider in a small saucepan. Add pomegranates and set aside for about 10 minutes. In a food processor, pulse fruit and liquid with pecans, green onions, butter, fennel seeds, ½ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste – until fruit and nuts are coarsely chopped. You may use a fine wire strainer to remove excess liquid after processing.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

With a sharp, thin knife, make a cut about three-inches across in the center of one end of the roast.

Gently push the knife straight through the roast to the other end.

If the knife isn’t long enough, make a cut at either end and work toward the center, making sure cuts meet. Insert the narrow end of a wooden spoon into the opening to widen all the way through.

Push stuffing into the opening, working for both ends to ensure that the filling is evenly packed and distributed throughout the “pocket” in the roast.

Pat the roast dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add roast, holding the bones up so the botton gets thoroughly browned, the turn to brown the meatly side. Brown for about 6 minutes total. Transfer skillet to the oven and cook, meat side down for 30 minutes.

Turn roast over so it sits on the bones and cook about 1 hour more, or until a meat thermometer reaches 155 degrees. Transfer roast to a carving board, tent loosely with foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before carving.

While meat is resting, whisk together sour cream and mustard in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Slice roast between the bones to make individual chops and arrange on a platter.

Hope everyone enjoyed Memorial Day and hopefully everyone took the time to remember those who have died in service to our nation, and also remembered our soldiers who are serving today.

Monday was a beautiful day, our company have all gone home, we decided to leave for the day and attended the Memorial Day Services at Shiloh National Park which was held in the cemetery by the big flag pole.

It was a very touching ceremony, ending with the firing of the military salute by Veterans of Foreign Wars, followed by TAPS. Following is a poem that was on the back of the program that I would like to share: We walked among the crosses where our fallen soldiers lay, and listened to the bugle as TAPS began to play.

The Chaplin led a prayer we stood with heads bowed low, and I thought of fallen comrades I had known so long ago.

They came from every city across the fertile land, that we might live in freedom they lie here ‘neath the sand.

I felt a little guilty my sacrifice was small. I only lost a little time but these men lost their all.

Now their services are over for this Memorial Day. To the names upon these crosses, I just want to say, Thanks for what you’ve given, no one could ask for more.

May you rest with God in Heaven from now through evermore.

-C.W. Johnson We also saw the new movie they are showing about the Civil War. My mother’s grandfather, Marcus Lafayette Cherry, was a Confederate soldier in the Civil War. He served as Lt. in Co. H, 21 Wilson’s TM CAV. of Gen. Bedford Forrest Corps, Army of Mississippi. He was wounded at the Battle of Harrisburg, Miss., July 13-15, 1864. He fought in the battle of Jacks Creek, Memphis and Hooker’s Bend on the Tennessee River.

He was born Aug. 5, 1834 in Tennessee and died Oct. 9, 1893 and is buried in Boyd, Texas.

The Homecoming at the Center will be Saturday, June 15 beginning with an 11 a.m. flag raising followed by the Sparky Sparks band and special guest Stacy Clayton and sister Kim Hearn. There will be grilled burgers and hot dog plates with all the trimmings and dessert table. Also around 1 p.m. a silent auction and cakewalk begins.

Sunday night falling asleep, I thought about the men who walked from New York to Texas carrying the American flag.

I thought of their sacrifice with others joining in as a joint effort.

They want attention directed to Memorial Day as a day that should be remembered with more respect. It is a day to honor those who died fighting for a cause called “Freedom”. Sadly it is a day now used as a longer weekend vacation, mall sale, getting caught up on projects, sleeping late, etc.

Times are still changing.

City buildings of its kind during that era.

Around the clock, C300 operators (such as Mr. C.O. Hays) monitored and controlled conditions in all of the process buildings. Mr. Hays felt honored to have Mrs. Clayton hand deliver a copy of the book, “The Story of the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant.

Megawatts to Megatons to Megawatts.” Stop by sometime and visit with Mr. Hays, he would be happy to share with you his days at the plant, or other fascinating facts about his very interesting life. He also writes short stories.

He is currently working on a new story, “Planes, Bicycles and Dog Houses.” Stop by if you want to hear more.

Penny Huggins stopped by from Savannah to play the piano and sing. She brought a friend with her, Mr. Gary Stanfield, who brought his guitar and played.

The residents even joined in singing with the old gospel songs.

Then after lunch, Virgil Hooks came with his guitar and sang. We have some of the best talent in the State of Tennessee coming through the doors of Southern Oaks.

Friday the residents had their Resident Council Meeting, and in the afternoon they played Bingo with Michelle White, the Chester County Administrator of Elections. This was her first visit with them and they hope to see her again soon. She brought her 11-yearold son Samuel White; husband, Phillip White; and mother-inlaw, Doris White with her to help. Along with the great prizes she brought were some patriotic decorations and hats to remind us of Memorial Day. Saturday was their Family Day and Movie Day, and Sunday afternoon Estes Church of Christ came for services.

There were two birthdays this past week there and both are employees. Happy

But wherever you were Monday I’m sure you saw “Old Glory” flying somewhere proudly, or prayerfully “Old Glory” waved in your own yard. This beautiful flag flies wherever Americans gave their lives to preserve freedom.

It drapes caskets as a final show of love or it is folded neatly inside the casket near the solider. “Old Glory” is saluted because it symbolizes importance of God, country, freedom, valor and sacrifices of countless heroes.

Entering Henderson City Hall a quick count showed about 70 present for the Memorial Day service. Most important were our aging veterans who were either seated or about to be seated.

Some were not present this year who attended last year - a sign perhaps they were not physically able or they were resting in peace

with our heavenly Father. Either way they were remembered with personal mention of name to nearby friends, or they were remembered with respect and love by those present. Humble words by Bill Jewell, Bobby King, Dwain Seaton, Melvin White and Raleigh Jernigan (guest speaker from Manchester) inspired respect for veterans.

Taps was played by Austin Bentley.

Doesn’t that music squeeze your heart?

Those popular words are, “Day is done, gone the sun, from the lake, from the hill, from the sky, all is well, safely rest, God is nigh.”

The slide show was nice. Thank you for attending and showing respect. We saw pictures of young men who entered a war to serve their country.

Some returned home, but others paid the ultimate price. In lov-

birthday wishes go to Donna Herndon and Milton Trice.

We the people, and Southern Oaks, are saddened by the devastation caused from the tornados in Oklahoma and Texas. The families affected by this terrible disaster are in our thoughts and prayers.

On our prayer request list this week are Larry (Henry) Brown and Sam Robinson. Continue to pray for the families in Oklahoma and Texas, for the people that are in the hospitals, the ones that are sick in their homes, our children, teachers, family, the men and women that are serving our

country, and also the incarcerated.

Remember to patronize our local businesses. Let’s support our own as much as we can. Chester County Head Start is still accepting applications for 3- and 4-yearolds. For more information, call 989-2561 or 989-5111.

Treasury announces $347.8 million increase in small business lending The U.S. Department of the Treasury has released a new report showing that Tennessee institutions receiving capital through the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) continue to increase their small business lending, in total by more than $347.8 million over their baselines.

This Use of Funds report shows that participants receiving capital through the SBLF boosted lending for the seventh straight quarter. In total, SBLF participants have increased small business lending by about $8.9 billion since the depths of the recession in 2009. This increased lending represents an estimated 38,000 additional small business loans over baseline levels. To view this information graphically, as well as detail on the increased lending across all regions, visit http://www.treasury.gov/connect/blog/Documents/20130402_SBLF.pdf.

“In every region of the country, the Obama Administration’s Small Business Lending Fund is supporting small and family-owned businesses with the funds they need to create jobs and grow,” said Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Neal Wolin. “This quarter’s report shows that SBLF participants are continuing to help thousands of small businesses invest, hire and expand in their local communities.”

The report also shows that SBLF participants increased their lending by $1.5 billion more than the prior quarter, representing the second highest increase since the start of the program.

Community banks participating in SBLF have increased business lending by 38 percent, a substantially greater amount than a peer group of similar banks across median measures of size, geography and loan type.

Small businesses play a critical role in the U.S. economy and are central to growth and job creation. In the aftermath of the recession and credit crisis, small business owners faced disproportionate challenges, including difficulty accessing capital.

The SBLF, established as part of the Small Business Jobs Act that President Obama signed into law in 2010, encourages community banks to increase their lending to small businesses, helping those companies expand their operations and create new jobs. Treasury invested more than $4 billion in 332 institutions through the SBLF. Collectively, these institutions operate in more than 3,000 locations across 48 states.

This report includes information on the 320 institutions that continue to participate in the program as of March 15, 2013, including 270 community banks and 50 community development loan funds.

SBLF encourages lending to small businesses by providing capital to community banks and CDLFs with less than $10 billion in assets. The dividend or interest rate a community bank pays on SBLF funding is reduced as the bank increases its lending to small businesses – providing a strong incentive for new lending to small businesses so that these firms can expand and create jobs. As of December 31, 2012, the average rate paid by community banks on SBLF capital was 1.8 percent. Individual community banks can reduce the rate they pay to one percent if they increase qualified small business lending by 10 percent over their baseline.

To view the report, including a list of the change in lending at banks receiving SBLF capital, visit http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sb-programs/Pages/sblf_transactions.aspx.

The SBLF is one part of the Obama Administration’s comprehensive agenda to help small businesses access the capital they need to invest and hire. Treasury also administers the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI), which allocates $1.5 billion to state programs designed to leverage private financing to spur $15 billion in new lending to small businesses and small manufacturers.

Capitol Hill Review A weekly wrap-up of legislative news From Rep. Steve McDaniel Tennessee Pension Reform Plan Becomes Law Legislation proposed earlier this year to reform the state’s pension plan, the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System (TCRS), passed the full House of Representatives in Nashville during this legislative session. The reform represents a proactive approach by State Treasurer David H. Lillard, Jr. and House leaders to ensure the security of pension benefits for current employees, retirees, as well as future employees that will be hired in years to come.

The changes, which will only affect new employees hired on or after July 1 of 2014, will change the current defined-benefits system to a hybrid plan that includes elements of defined-benefits and defined-contribution programs. A defined-benefit plan guarantees retirees a fixed pension benefit based on their years of service and earnings, while defined-contribution plans do not have guaranteed payment levels but rather specified contribution levels by the employer.

The pension changes will not affect anyone that is currently a state employee, a teacher, a higher education employee, or an employee of a local government participating in the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System.

Lawmakers Score Victory With Bill To Reform Tennessee Asset Forfeiture Law Legislation designed to curb abuse of a Tennessee law that allows government agencies to take cash off drivers without a warrant unanimously passed the House of Representatives this year with a 95-0 vote.

The bill will reform the practice known as asset forfeiture—the ability of law enforcement officers to take people’s personal property without charging them with a crime.

As passed, the bill ensures a fair hearing to any person suspect-

ed of being in possession of property subject to asset forfeiture.

Specifically, the legislation spells out that such person is entitled to appear in court at a stated date and time to contest the issuance of a forfeiture warrant by a law enforcement officer.

Currently, Tennessee law requires such a hearing to take place without the person whose assets are being seized in attendance. It is not uncommon for some asset forfeiture cases to take months to settle.

When House legislators sat down and really started studying the issue of asset forfeiture, it was obvious that people are not being given the opportunity to be heard by a real judge in a reasonable amount of time. A prime example, they cite, is the New Jersey man who had $22,000 in cash taken from him during a traffic stop and was not immediately given a hearing to get his money back.

The story referred to by lawmakers occurred in 2012, when an officer took George Reby’s money based on the suspicion it might be drug money, even though Reby stated he was in the process of buying a new vehicle through the popular auction website, eBay. Once the case went to court, the police officer who had seized the money had a judge sign off on the seizure in a secret hearing, but never told the judge about Mr. Reby’s side of the story.

Legislation To Better Protect Student Athletes Easily Passes House Legislation designed to protect student athletes who suffer concussions from risking further medical complications passed the House this year with full support from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

As passed, House Bill 867 ensures guidelines are in place to help coaches, youth athletic instructors, and parents recognize a concussion and its symptoms in order to keep an injured player

from risking their health by returning to competition too soon.

In addition, the legislation requires that schools and organizations develop a policy of removing youth from sports activity who show signs of concussion until they receive a medical evaluation from a licensed doctor stating they are clear to return to play.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) reports that from 2001 to 2009, concussions among youth increased 60 percent, leading the agency to label concussion frequency as reaching “epidemic” proportions.

Statewide Partnership Addresses Human Trafficking in Tennessee House lawmakers joined law enforcement officials from across the state this year to address the issue of human trafficking in Tennessee.

In 2010, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conducted a study regarding human sex trafficking in the state. The

results of the study found trafficking and sex slavery in Tennessee is more common than previously known. The report cited that one in four children who run away from home are approached for commercial sexual exploitation within 48 hours of running away. In addition, the average age of a sex trafficking victim is 13, according to the study.

Building on the success lawmakers had during the 2011-2012 legislative session to cut down on crimes such as this across the state, lawmakers introduced a crime prevention package this year to address issues related to crimes against children, criminal gang offenses, and human organ trafficking.

In total, 15 bills were filed, including: House Bill 520, which changes the offense of promoting prostitution of a minor from a Class E felony to a Class A felony – a move which See HILL, Page 9-A

CHESTER COUNTY INDEPENDENT • Thursday, May 30, 2013

From Page 8-A

Hill will greatly increase the punishment for such crimes; House Bill 131, which increases penalties for gang members who commit trafficking for commercial sex acts; And House Bill 357, which adds to the law books a new offense for the trafficking of human organs.

Lawmakers hope they will be able to shine a spotlight on the disturbing crime trend of sex slavery and human trafficking in Tennessee.

Ignition Interlock Legislation Scores Legislative Victory In a unanimous vote of the House and Senate, landmark legislation that will strengthen Tennessee’s DUI laws was passed by the Tennessee Legislature this year and was signed into law by Governor Bill Haslam.

As adopted, House Bill 353 requires that interlock devices be installed in the vehicles of all drunk drivers convicted with a blood alcohol rate of .08% or higher.

Interlock devices are small pieces of equipment attached to the steering wheel of a car with a tube that the driver must breathe into in order to allow the ignition to start.

The legislation is backed by numerous local and nationwide safety agencies, including Mothers Against Drunk Driv-

ing, AAA, the Tennessee Sheriff ’s Association, the National Transportation Safety Board, Direct General Corporation, the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, and the Tennessee Association of Police Chiefs.

Tennessee becomes the 18th state to enact

Page 9-A

interlock requirements for all convicted drunk drivers. Studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show requiring interlock devices for convicted drunk drivers is effective in reducing drunk driving recidivism by 67 percent.

More Than We Can Stand Ronnie McBrayer Keeping the Faith

In the previous generation there were at least three great Southern-born prophets: Martin Luther King, Jr., Clarence Jordan, and Will Campbell.

Campbell is the only one still living. He is nearing his 90th year, and is a self-proclaimed prickly, “bootleg preacher” from Mississippi with a Baptist ordination, a foul four-letter-word dropping mouth, and a love for Bourbon and country music that is just short of his love for Jesus.

Educated at Wake Forest, Tulane and Yale, he has been a pastor, chaplain, an executive with the National Council of Churches, and a writer. But he is most respected for his tireless work toward racial equality in the civil rights South, and his no-compromise, no pulled-punches attitude when it comes to the message of reconciliation.

“God is ready to forgive and restore all who will come,” he has preached for decades now. When asked how he would summarize his theology and his work, in Campbell’s iconoclastic style he answered, “We are all bastards; but God loves us anyway.”

This belief was put to the test during the racial violence and upheaval of the 1960s.

One of Will’s best friends, a seminary student and Civil Rights worker named Jonathan Daniels, was shot and killed by an Alabama sheriff. The sheriff was acquitted by “a jury of his peers.”

Will retreated to Fairhope, Ala., to grieve and rage, taking refuge at the home of friend P.D. East. East was an agnostic newspaper editor who wanted racial equality as well, but he was not an adherent to the Christian gospel. So while Will stalked

Montezuma United Methodist Church Homecoming June 9 Pastor Rev. Jim Osborne announces that Montezuma United Methodist Church Homecoming will begin at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 9, with guest speaker Rev. Harold Montgomery and special music by Kaye Springfield. There will be a potluck meal at noon.

Everyone is invited to attend.

around the house, angrily grieving Daniel’s death and the uncorrected injustice against him, P.D. confronted Campbell directly: “Come on, Brother,” P.D. said. “Let’s talk about your definition of the gospel. Was Jonathan a bastard?”

Will responded that he was sure that everyone is a sinner in one way or another, but that Jonathan was one of the sweetest, gentlest guys he had ever known.

P.D. persisted: “But was he a bastard? Now, that’s your word, not mine. That’s a pretty tough word. I know, ‘cause I am one; a real one. My mama wasn’t married to my daddy.

Now, by God, you tell me right now, yes or no: Was Jonathan Daniel a bastard?”

Will finally said, “Yes, Daniel was.”

P.D. East pulled his chair close to Will and just above a whisper asked, “Which one of those two bastards do you think God loves the most – Jonathan or that sheriff ? Now, you’re the one who always told me about how simple the gospel is. Just answer the question: Which one of those two does God love the most?”

Here are Will Campbell’s words of response: “Suddenly, everything became clear. Everything. It was a revelation. I walked across the room and opened the blind, staring directly into the glare of the street light. And I began to whimper. But the crying was interspersed with laughter.

It was a strange experience. I remember trying to sort out the sadness and the joy.

“Just what was I crying for, and what was I laughing for?

Then this, too, became clear. I was laughing at myself, at 20 years of a ministry which had become, without my realizing it…an attempted negation of Jesus…a theology of law and order and of

denying the faith I professed to hold. That sheriff was indeed as loved by God as Jonathan Daniel. And if loved, forgiven. And if forgiven, reconciled.

“P.D. came and stood beside me, handing me his half-empty beer.

The lesson was over.

Class dismissed. But I had one last thing I had to say to the teacher: ‘P.D…[ ] if you ain’t made a Christian out of me. And I’m not sure I can stand it.’”

This is the categoryexploding, boundarybreaking, worldupturning gospel: God’s grace trumps everything. God’s love welcomes all who will come. God’s forgiveness is no “respecter of persons,” even those persons for whom we ourselves have little mercy. Yes, this is sometimes more than we can stand, but it is the no-compromise, no pulled-punches message of reconciliation.

Firefighters sift through the remains of a house at 20 Worshem Road which burned to the ground Friday. The structure was unoccupied, and was a total loss by the time fire trucks arrived. Units from Finger Fire Department, as well as the Chester County Fire Department, responded to the blaze. The cause is still under investigation.

Heroes changes for the better as well, including “new medicines and new techniques.

There’s always the next best thing right around the corner.”

Air Evac Scott Summars, Eric Leath, and Tim Weis are a three-man crew that fly aboard the Air Evac helicopter out of Jackson.

Air Evac started in the 1980’s, and the base in Jackson started in 1998. The bases were constructed in rural areas in order for heli-

as if remembering those who have been lost.

But there are great moments too like when they “have a patient outcome that is good.

Here recently, actually me and him [indicating Leath] we flew a kid that had been … electrocuted, got burnt all the way around his neck, burnt his hands … and we flew him to Le Bonheur. And actually we met up with him the other day.

They had a benefit with him and a favorite memory of mine you could say was after we’d got out and him coming and hugging our neck and

“If you want a job that’s going to give you a sense of fulfillment, then this could possibly be it.”

Billy Warren [pictured above] copters to be able to land and quickly transport those in critical need of emergency care like heart patients or those critically wounded.

So what drew these three men into this profession? It is not something one would think of as commonplace, yet these men are a proud part of what is a highly stressful but also highly rewarding career.

These are their stories: Scott Summars Scott Summars, 38, has been a flight nurse with Air Evac for three years. Before that he worked at the Med as a nurse in Trauma ICU. According to Summars, to be a flight nurse you have to have at least three years of critical care experience or emergency room experience. “You go through a lot of training to get to this point. Even when you get hired by the company, it’s a rigorous amount of tests and classes that you have to take to get here.”

Before joining Air Evac Summars worked with Emergency Medical Services and rode on ambulances, but was drawn to the allure of flying. “When you call for a helicopter you just see how cool it is when they come and they land at the scene. You really look up to them and that’s what you want to do. You want to increase your knowledge, you want to increase your schooling if you will and get to that point.”

He has children of his own and believes that the situations he has come upon that include children are the ones he’ll never forget. “We’ve had kids that die.” Summars and Leath both looked down for a few seconds

thanking us for it.

That’s a favorite memory.”

Eric Leath Eric Leath, 44, is the flight paramedic for Air Evac and has been with the company for about nine years. He explained the set up of the helicopter and the responsibilities of the team.

“Basically it’s we two crew members in the back, [the] nurse [and the] medic. If you’re in a hospital setting there’s a difference between a RN and a paramedic but in our company when they come on board they’re sent through the same training.”

Leath states that most of the paramedics have a “prehospital” EMS background riding on ambulances while the nurses in the company generally have an emergency room background. The paramedics do the intubations that the nurses may not be familiar with while the nurses bring in the critical care part of it through experience they have gained in the ICU and ER. “It’s what makes the team bond. We have experience from both fields.”

Leath began his medical career in Haywood County working on the ambulances there for about six years. He’s been a medic 21 years. He had wanted to fly since he finished paramedic school. After watching the Wings team flying while he worked in Haywood County, his goal became to be a part of a flight team.

Even with all his experience, it took him six years to be hired for Air Evac.

He proudly shared one of his favorite memories “Two years

ago ... I got my thousand flight wings which is a pretty good milestone.” He remembers fondly the “people that I’ve met in this career that have just touched my life in some form or fashion, that have become great friends. The thing is just knowing you’ve made a difference.”

The best part of the job, beyond the flying for Leath, is having the opportunity to do a job that involves helping people in a way that few others will ever get to do.

The men are aware of the turnover rate in their profession.

Usually what forces people out are the demands and pressures of the job. It takes a toll on their body and their health because of lack of time to eat and rest, but they both emphasize that they must keep their skill set up and remain proficient in order to save lives.

They want the public to know that they aren’t just out flying around. When they are called to the scene it’s critical and they are performing life saving work.

Tim Weis Tim Weis, 63, is a pilot for Air Evac. He has been with them for eight years. Before that he taught school for 13 years but before taking on the classroom, he was a Navy helicopter pilot for 21 years. As the pilot he not only flies the team in but “I need to make sure the helicopter is safe. The mechanic does all the work on the helicopter but I’m responsible for checking the paperwork and going back and double checking everything.” He ticks off his responsibilities. “One, make sure the helicopter is safe.

Two, make sure the weather is acceptable for flying and then three, … get in the helicopter and go. I’m the bus driver.” he said laughing.

He has worked at 47 Air Evac bases including all of the Tennessee bases as well as everything from East Liverpool, Ohio, to Woodward, Okla., down to Brunswick, Ga. “So I’ve been around,” he adds smiling Weis is an accomplished story teller and easily draws you in with his exuberance as he shares his tales of tough flights he’s made in the past. “Oh, I’ve got lots of great memo-

Tim Weis sums up the feelings of this Air Evac team “For me, this is the best job there is.” ries.” He shared one of his best. “I would say it was flying in East Tennessee, up against the Carolina mountains and there’s a little landing zone cut out in the side of this mountain called The Fish Hatchery, and none of our guys had been there before, so I get the call to go in there and it was one of those landings you really had to work to get in and out of.” They ended up closing it down. “Nobody else

crew has been together on a couple that were just heart-wrenching.

You just do everything you possibly can. I get them there as fast as I can. They do the very best medical procedures that can be done and then especially if it’s a kid. That part’s hard.”

Though Weis emphasizes that the medical team is “tough” when they get back from one of those calls many times they will turn to him and

part of his job is coming home safe. “One of my worst fears is if I were to do something wrong and I crash and live through the crash and find out my buddies are dead. That would be real bad.” he said quietly. “So I work real hard on the safety.

I don’t come out here and socialize except for when the weather gets real nice because I want to make sure when the call comes in, I already know what the weather is. I’ve

The best part of the job for Weis “is walking through (a store) and having someone walk up with tears in their eyes and say ‘my dad’s alive, my sister’s OK because of you guys.” … but there are situations “when you get somebody who doesn’t make it. This

tell him they are done for the night. “But the good news is, that doesn’t happen very often.”

His advice for those who want to fly medical teams: “Work real hard on your skills.

“This is the best job in the world. I loved teaching school. I loved it. It had an impact on those kid’s lives, but for me, this is the best job there is.” Tim Weis

Who would you pick?

Who do you think MOST will pick? Jot it here and then read on.

The first person I asked had just graduated from Chester County High School last week, and supplied a totally surprising answer. After only a few seconds of thinking time she said, “Rosa Parks.” When I inquired about the reason she had chosen Rosa Parks, she said, “To understand how she had the courage to do what she did.” This was an especially interesting reply when you realize she is not of African-American descent. Good answer Madison!

I also asked a young woman who was visiting Henderson from New York City, and her answer was one that I have never thought about! “I’d want to talk to Eve – I’d like to know what a perfect woman really looks like.”

Interesting, answer, huh? She didn’t say what she’d like to talk with her about – I think we’d ALL like to know a few things about Eve! Nathan Foster, a

I volunteer to distribute Memorial Day programs to veterans at the nursing home, but this year Mayor Bobby King did this act of respect. I’d like to tenderly dedicate this column to all veterans with Bill Jewell’s poem, “I Am a Veteran” : I am a veteran. At Concord’s Bridge I fired the shot heard ‘round the world. Across the Delaware, I pulled a muffled oar. I saw Washington receive Cornwallis’s sword.

I am a veteran. At New Orleans, I lay behind the cotton bale. I fired my musket, and I made the British fall to

prove that America was free once and for all.

I am a veteran. In the war, between the states I saw both sides. I was Jonny Reb and also Billy Blue. We showed there’s a unity in one and not in two.

I am a veteran. I fought through the forest of Argonne.

Chateau Thierry crumbled to my cannonade, beneath the arch of victory I marched in parade.

I am a veteran. My blood flowed red on the beach at Normandy.

The break through at St. Lo was all within my stride. I raised our banner high in Okinawan skies.

I am a veteran. On

the 38th parallel I made my stand. I flew mig alley, high up in the sky.

At Inchon, at last, I felt my heart fill with pride.

I am a veteran. In Vietnam I fought to keep people free and sometimes, at home I fought an army I couldn’t see. In later years at Desert Storm, I heard the call again and tasted bitter victory with our blood in desert sands.

I am a veteran. So every time you see Old Glory fly in peaceful skies or see our little children laughing with no fear in their eyes, look over your shoulder ... I am still there ... remember me ... I am a veteran.

Freed-Hardeman student majoring in History answered he would most like to talk with Abe Lincoln.

When I asked what he’d like to ask him he said, “I’d just like to sit down and talk with him – nothing in particular.”

Trandon, a young man, thought for a good while, and then said, “If I could talk to anyone it would be either Martin Luther King or Malcolm X …

I’d like to ask Mr. King how he got his ideas, and how hard was it to get so many people to listen to him.”

Keri said, “I think President John F. Kennedy, because he was really for social integration, equality for all. It was really hard for him to do that, and I’d like to talk with him about that.”

[Interestingly, she is not African-American either.]

Rita replied, “I’d like to talk with my mother … it’s been almost 11 years, and I miss her very much.”

Her daughter Hailey said, “My grandma ... the same person as my mom.”

Imogene Naylor said without any hesitancy, “My dad ... he’s gone, and I miss him.”

An anonymous response was, “… Ask anybody? … Hmmm …

Jesus! … There are so

many things you COULD ask him … I’d ask him, ‘What is heaven like? – Is it individualized according to how people lived on earth, or is it one big general-like paradise?’ … That would be interesting to know before you get there.”

Honestly, living here in the Bible belt, I had expected at least every other person to give a religious answer, and most often to choose Jesus. So I almost didn’t pick this question.

But it seems today, being such a stormy day, and the major tornados yesterday in Oklahoma, that family members were brought to mind first, then famous people that tried very hard to help mankind.

Who did you pick???

What would you have asked? Did anyone listed here agree with you?

If you have a question you would like the “Roving Reporter” to ask Chester Countians, email it to JPatterson@ChesterCounty Independent.com.

Next week’s Roving Reporter question is “If you learned you won the big lottery – would you tell anyone?” Think about it – and check back next week to see what fellow Chester Countians have to say.

Haslam vetoes Ag Gag bill Governor Bill Haslam announced last week that he would veto SB1248/HB1191 – known in some quarters as the “Ag Gag” bill.

Haslam cited the threat to the Tennessee Shield Law as one of several reasons he asked the General Assembly to reconsider its action.

“Agriculture is the

No. 1 industry in Tennessee.

Farmers play a vital role in our state’s economy, heritage and history. I understand their concerns about large scale attacks on their livelihoods. I also appreciate that the types of recordings this bill targets may be obtained at times under false pretenses, which I think is wrong,” Haslam said.

“Our office has spent a great deal of time considering this legislation. We’ve had a lot of input from people on all sides of the issue. After careful consideration, I am going to veto the legislation. Some vetoes are made solely on policy grounds. Other

vetoes may be the result of wanting the General Assembly to reconsider the legislation for a number of reasons. My veto here is more along the lines of the latter. I have a number of concerns.

“First, the Attorney General says the law is constitutionally suspect. Second, it appears to repeal parts of Tennessee’s Shield Law without saying so. If that is the case, it should say so. Third, there are concerns from some district attorneys that the act actually makes it more difficult to prosecute animal cruelty cases, which would be an unintended consequence.

The hardwood floor at Bader Gym, where many an exciting moment in FHU history has played out, is being taken up, concluding 50 years of service to the university.

From Page 2-A

Bader after making her gift to the project. They were represented at the ceremonies by a nephew.

The pool was not ready for use until January of 1964.

However, Sylvia Harris, who taught swimming classes at FHU for 44 years, said she taught swimming strokes in the gym in the fall of ’63.

“I have so many good memories of Bader Gym and the pool,” said Harris. “It has benefitted the college and community in so many ways. But

it’s just one of those changes that need to be made.”

According to Harris, when it was opened the pool was one of the finest in west Tennessee outside of Memphis.

However, she notes it had become out-dated, and parts for the filtration system were no longer available.

After FreedHardeman advanced from a junior college to a four-year university in the 1970s, Bader became too small for the burgeoning crowds wanting to see nationally-ranked FHU basketball teams, and the facility was eventually replaced as

a basketball arena by the sparkling Brewer

Sports Center which opened in 1990s.

Third place in state for Eaglettes After winning their first two games at the state tournament last week in Murfreesboro, a state championship was on the minds of the Chester County Eaglettes. However, a perennial state power slowed the CCHS march, and a long-time rival ended the parade.

Chester County did come home with a third place finish, their best showing since a runner-up finish in 1982. CCHS ended the year with a record of 30-14, also ending the career of four senior starters who had taken their team to the state tournament three times.

Chester County 12 – East Hamilton 6 In Chester County’s tournament opener, May 21, the Eaglettes broke open a close game with two runs in the fifth and four more in the sixth to defeat East Hamilton 12-6.

CCHS pounded out 16 hits including home runs by Presley Robinson and Sammie Jo Ivy. The Eaglettes also were aided by seven East Hamilton fielding errors.

Ivy gave up a lead-off hit in the top of the

first but retired the next seven hitters she faced. Ivy reached base herself leading off the bottom of the second, and later scored on a double by Cynthia Beene. East Hamilton took the lead with three runs in the third on three hits including a home run.

Chester County took the lead for good with a five run fourth. With one out, Madison Cherry-Reed, Beene, Robinson, Madison McCaskill and Elantra Cox strung hits in succession.

Beth Blackstock reached on a two-out error and Jana Frye followed with a double.

East Hamilton was in position to retake the lead in the top of the fifth. They put up five hits in the frame and scored twice, but stranded two and had another runner cut down on the bases, leaving CCHS up 6-5.

Ivy fanned a dozen, the most whiffs by any East Hamilton opposing pitcher this season.

Chester County’s Elantra Cox and the fans in the stands watch as the ball flies over the fence for a home run for CCHS against Goodpasture. champions, Knoxville Gibbs, with a 4-3 victory. Madison McCaskill did the damage offensively with a three-run home run in the bottom of the fifth.

Gibbs got on the board first following a double, walk, and RBI single in the third inning. CCHS tied the contest in the bottom of the fourth.

Blackstock led off with a single, but was replaced on the bases

by Frye on a fielder’s choice.

Ivy then reached on an error which brought home Frye.

Beene’s single began the fun in the fifth for CCHS and Brooklyn Davidson come on as a pinchrunner. Robinson followed with another hit, and McCaskill hit a towering shot over the fence for a 4-1 Eaglette lead.

Gibbs scored single runs in the sixth and seventh, but Ivy stranded Gibbs runners on the bases in the sixth and one more in the seventh.

Ivy gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out six. Her counterpart, Rachel Farmer, surrendered eight CCHS hits, walked one and struck out only one. Chester County committed two errors and Gibbs one.

Beth Blackstock runs across the bag to retire a Gibbs batter/runner close the deal, falling in the winners’ bracket final 6-3 to Goodpasture.

Perhaps as a prediction of things to come, Cox led off the game with single, but was called out for leaving first base too early on a

steal attempt.

However, Ivy allowed only a two-out walk in the bottom of the inning.

In the second, CCHS had a good chance to break out on top. Hits

by Ivy and Beene put two on with two outs

but they were stranded. Goodpasture took advantage in the bottom of the frame with one run on one hit.

However, the Eaglettes took the lead in the third frame.

CCHS homered to centerfield, and Blackstock followed with groundrule double. Frye singled, a two-out single

by Faulkner scored Blackstock for a 2-1 CCHS advantage.

It stayed 2-1 until the fifth when the Eaglettes upped their lead on a home run by

Ivy to left center. Yet Goodpasture came right back to knot the score with two runs on three hits, and took the lead with a three-run sixth on four hits, and two Eaglettes miscues.

CCHS went quickly in the seventh with only a lead-off walk to McCaskill. The win put Goodpasture in the title game for the second straight year.

Chester County 3, Lexington 10

Chester County and Lexington had faced each other seven times this season, with Chester County winning only once.

However, that game was an 11-0 CC blowout with Katelyn Faulkner on the mound for the Eaglettes. A three-run first inning for Chester County gave further hope to the CCHS faithful.

However, Lexington came right back with three of their own in the bot-

tom of the first, and took over the game with a four-run fifth in which Chester County committed three errors.

All told, Chester County committed four errors and only five of Lexington’s runs were earned.

Faulkner had a home run for CCHS, a three-run shot in the first inning. Cox added a double. Robinson had two of the Eaglettes six hits.

There you will find a variety of activities planned across the state with details as to event locations and times. You can also contact your regional TWRA office to find out what’s going on in your area or let them know you are interested in sponsoring or volunteering to help with an event.

Anglers and would-be anglers should check the events list often since more fishing rodeos are frequently added. Whatever you do, don’t miss the fun!

Russell receives FFA State Degree

FFA member Dalton Russell from Chester County representing the Chester County Chapter received his State Farmer Degree during the state convention in March. Tim Williams, right, of Farm Credit Mid-America in Somerville, made the presentation.

The 85th annual Tennessee State FFA Convention, held in Gatlinburg March 2427, attracted more than 2,000 FFA members from across the state. The convention offered various activities, including Career Development Event

A highlight of the event was the presentation of over 500 State FFA Degrees. The State FFA Degree is

awarded to students who demonstrate success in their extracurricular activities, agricultural experiences and classroom programs. FFA member Dalton Russell from Chester County representing the Chester County Chapter was among the group recognized.

On hand to present these awards were representatives from Farm Credit MidAmerica, a perennial sponsor of the State FFA Degree program.

“These students possess a level of skill and passion that is just remarkable to see,” said Tim Williams, regional vice president with Farm Credit in Somerville. “A huge part of our mission is developing the future of agriculture and I can’t think of any better way to demonstrate that commitment than supporting the State FFA Degree program.”

Making the transition into a summer child care program can be more fun and less stressful if parents know how to prepare their kids.

Students are ready for summer, but are parents prepared?

By John Michaelson Tennessee News Service

Children across the state are now on summer vacation. For the younger ones, that means a transition into a new child care or camp program or attending day care for the first time. To make that change go smoothly, preparation is the key to success, according to Karen Fogolin, associate director, Child Care Aware of Minnesota.

“The children are going to come across new people, new rules and perhaps even a bus for the first time, so helping them to adapt and thrive in the new situation is important,” Fogolin said.

P r e p a r a t i o n includes establishing a routine, as well as

familiarizing children with how each day will go, she added.

“Let them know what they might be excited about; perhaps draw some pictures.

Visit with the people and the program prior to starting. Also, really show that you as the adult are very comfortable with the program.

Children are really quick to pick up on our anxieties,” she said.

In addition to finding a program they feel comfortable with, Fogolin noted that parents also want one that is right for the age and mental development of their children.

“It must be appropriate in terms of what the children are interested in,” she advised.

“We don’t want to put our children in experiences that are just going to frustrate them. Really knowing your child and choosing the right program is important.”

Another tip for the transition is to have the child bring along a favorite toy or other reminder of home, although parents should check with the care provider before doing so.

More tips on a successful transition into care this summer are at the Child Care Aware website, h t t p : / / w w w. c h i l d c a r e aw a r e m n . o r g .
