County seeksmore info on coal ash

By Derby WatersSTAFF WRITER

The Wayne CountyBoard of Commissionerswas faced with morequestions than answersabout the coal-ash issueas members prepared tomeet Tuesday night in acalled work session andpublic hearing. The commissioners

were hoping to learnmore about a proposal toconstruct a large railyard at the Broadhurstlandfill. If approved andbuilt, the facility couldmean that coal ashwould be brought intothe landfill—by train-carloads.According to an appli-

cation before the U.S.Army Corps of Engi-neers, the proposed pro-ject site would be 249.8acres located west ofU.S. 301 and south ofBroadhurst Road Westand 5.6 miles east ofScreven.The applicant, Central

Virginia Properties ofSpartanburg, S.C., hasproposed a discharge ofdredged material into al-most 25 acres of jurisdic-tional wetlands. Inter-ference with thewetlands mandates ap-proval by the Corps ofEngineers. The companyproposes to construct arail-yard operation in-cluding unloading struc-tures, rail-car wash-down stations, parkingand an office. The application to the

Corps notes that, if ap-proved, work on the rail

yard would begin atonce.In a meeting with rep-

resentatives of Republic,owner and operator ofthe landfill at Broad-hurst, county commis-sioners learned lastweek that Central Vir-ginia Properties is a sub-sidiary of Republic.Billy Birdwell, public

relations specialist forthe U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers office in Sa-vannah, said that officewould take public com-ment on the proposalthrough Feb. 3. Birdwellsaid that the Corps isconcerned only with theproposal to build a railyard at Broadhurst.The operation of

Broadhurst Landfill andwhat Republic plans toreceive as solid waste isnot a matter for theCorps to rule on, Bird-well said.“We have nothing to do

with a permitted land-fill,” Birdwell said.Meanwhile, County

Board of CommissionersChairman KevinCopeland said that hehas spoken with MarkWilliams, Georgia com-missioner of the Depart-ment of Natural Re-sources, and wasassured that the stateEnvironmental Protec-tion Division (EPD)would hold a publichearing on the concernsof local residents.A date for a meeting

Thislecture, entitled“Breathing, Snoring anda Good Night’s Sleep,”will be conducted by Dr.Thomas Chassé, an ENTspecialist.

Can you smell money swirling about landfill plan?

If your nose is wrinkling over thelandfill controversy in the south end ofour county, keep sniffing. You’ll smellmore than the mounds of big-citygarbage and coal ash that could beheaded our way, trainload after train-load. What you are whiffing is the in-fluence of money at work.Unless the U.S. Army Corps of En-

gineers halts Republic Services’ appli-cation to transform one of our wet-lands into a massive railyard, ourpeople and our environment are aboutto get railroaded into a gamble thatisn’t worth any amount of money.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.I know. There are state and federal regulations that are

designed to protect us. Up inMichigan, ask the people ofFlint how much good thoselaws did in keeping theirdrinking water safe. “But that’s different,” you

argue. Not really. Contami-nated water is contaminatedwater. The Broadhurst Envi-ronmental Landfill—operatedby Republic Services—sitsatop two of the best under-ground water sources any-where: the Florida and Ocalaaquifers. Those enormous un-derground streams are out ofsight, but they should neverbe out of mind.What’s very much in sight of the landfill are the headwa-

ters of the Penholloway Creek. That black-water streamcrosses under U.S. 301 South and weaves its way throughthe wilderness to the Altamaha River that drains into theAtlantic Ocean. The Titanicwas “unsinkable,” but it sank.One puncture or breach in the government-approved, not-supposed-to-leak pits in Broadhurst, and neither apologiesnor fines will make the contamination go away.So how did we happen to get a private regional landfill in

Wayne County? Your nose will lead you to the answer. It’sthe smell of money—lots of it—that seduced our commis-

sioners in 1992 to strike a deal with Addington Environ-mental. Rather than having to hassle with our garbage, anoutside waste management company got a contract to han-dle it for us. What seemed to be a windfall for Wayne alsoopened the door for outside garbage to be dumped here—fora fee. Have you driven past our Mount Trashmore on the

Broadhurst-to-Screven road? If the Corps approves the rail-yard application, we could have a mountain range of trashin the piney flat woods. We will likely become the city dumpfor the likes of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. Andthat’s not to speak of the trainloads of coal ash coming fromsuch places as North Carolina that woke up and prohibitedcoal ash from being deposited in their open containmentponds. Georgia needs to get busy on similar legislation.In the meantime, Republic—under the name of Central

Virginia Properties, LLC—almost sneaked past the commu-nity with its Corps of Engineers application. Instead, apesky reporter from The Press-Sentinel started asking ques-tions. Last week, Republic met—behind closed doors—with

three of our commissioners,hoping to seduce them to geton board with their landfill ex-pansion plans. I am pleased Chairman

Kevin Copeland and ViceChairman Ralph Hickox havebeen vehement in their opposi-tion. I am anxious to see howcommissioners Boot Thomas,Shag Wright and Mike Robertsstand on this. Republic fig-ures the promise of trainloadsof money into public cofferswill make Wayne County ac-cept the risks—now and for-ever. Here’s what I said to one

commissioner: “If you and I wanted to justmake money,and we were willing to gamble with our freedom and repu-tations, we could peddle pornography or traffic dope. Untilwe got caught, we’d be getting filthy rich. But no, thanks! Ifeel the same way about taking environmental risks thatwill affect generation after generation.”

No, sir!You could stack money as tall as that trash mountain at

Broadhurst Environmental Landfill, and the deal wouldstill stink. And I hope that’s what your nose tells you, too.dnesmith@cninewspapers.com

A true WayneCounty institution

nell sheffield tells stories of coon huntingwith her late husband, Paul Sheffield, atthe Wayne County Coon Jam, known forthe first time this year as the Paul SheffieldMemorial Hunt. Listening in the back-ground is Mike Lane, chair of the WayneCounty Board of Tourism (which spon-sored the event). Kudos to the TourismBoard and Michael Lewis’ Coon Jam com-mittee not only for sponsoring another suc-cessful event last week but also for honor-ing Sheffield and his family. Kudos, too, tothe hunters who took part in the event,braving temperatures in the 30s Saturdaynight for the sake of a good competition. Itseems safe to say that the Coon Jam hasbecome a true Wayne County institution.

“The nation behaveswell if it treats its nat-ural resources as assetswhich it must turn overto the next generationincreased, and not im-paired, in value.”

Good luck,Dell Keith

We tend to agree with Dell Keith on his phi-losophy of economic development.You don’t always know when new industries

will be looking your way or what possibilitiesthere might be for industrial expansion in thecommunity. So you need to be prepared forwhatever opportunities come your way.First and foremost, you need to have solid re-

lationships in place. You need to have open linesof communication with state leaders, and youneed to be sure that the agencies representingthe community are working together to supportyour efforts.As the new president and CEO of the Wayne

County Industrial Development Authority,Keith has both the personality and the experi-ence (through a long and successful banking ca-reer) to ensure that the right relationships arenurtured and the proper groundwork has beenlaid.So we wish Keith the best of luck as Wayne

County tries to remain economically competi-tive and to ensure good local jobs for our chil-dren and a solid future for our community as awhole.

great pleasure tocongratulateOdum Elemen-tary School forreceiving the“Title I RewardSchool for 2016”designation!This award is

given out eachyear to the top 10 percent of Title Ischools in the state of Georgia thathave demonstrated three consecu-tive years of progress or growth inthe “all” students category on theCRCT (Criterion-Referenced Com-petency Tests) with the addition ofthe Georgia Milestones for the2015-2016 school year. This awardhas been earned by our students,staff, parents and community.It has been said that teamwork

divides the task and multiplies thesuccesses. This quote, written byan unknown author, is a reflectionof the relationships and responsi-bilities that are equally shared byour students, staff, parents andcommunity members and the im-pact on student learning. Each

part of this equation is essentialfor the success that is demon-strated by our students. Our students should be congrat-

ulated for this award becausewithout their curiosity, motivationand a thirst for learning, thisaward would not be possible.Our teachers have worked tire-

lessly to provide warm and invit-ing classroom environments withstandards-based lessons for ourstudents to prepare them for thenext grade level each and everyday. Their high expectations, dedi-cation and love of the students per-meate throughout our school andcreate a safe and risk-free environ-ment that students are drawn to.Our paraprofessionals work in alldifferent grades and subject areas,supporting the work of the teach-ers and encouraging our studentsto do their best each and everyday. Our support staff provide atasty, clean, healthy and organizedenvironment for our students andstaff.The parents of our students en-

sure that their children are atschool ready to learn and preparedfor classroom instruction.Our community has embraced

and encouraged our school by pro-

viding needed materials for stu-dents and has been supportive inany endeavor.It is the sum of all of these spe-

cific parts that has created a recipefor success.As we all know, a school is not

made up merely of bricks, steeland wood. It is made up of commit-ted individuals that are all therefor the same purpose ... to instruct,love, encourage and prepare thenext generation to be productivemembers of society.As we enter into the second se-

mester, we have much to look for-ward to as a school community.With a brand-new school beingbuilt right behind our currentbuilding, this is an exciting timefor the city of Odum and theWayne County school system. Atthe end of each and every day, Iam honored to be a part of a com-munity and a school that knowand understand the importance ofour job and the responsibility thatwe hold to our students and our fu-ture. Again, congratulations to Odum

Elementary ... it is the SmallSchool with a Giant Commitment!

OPINION

Before I begin my update on lastweek’s events, I want to remind thoseof you who have chil-dren or grandchildrenof an excellent oppor-tunity. Young peoplebetween the ages of12 and 16 can serveas a page for the day.It is a great opportu-nity that they will re-member the rest oftheir life. Pleasecheck out the detailshere:http://tinyurl.com/gvxz974.Second, I have set up meetings to

deal with a couple of problems in ourdistrict. As everyone is aware, our hos-pital in Claxton is struggling. The hos-pital’s board, management and em-ployees have been working with theEvans County commissioners and ad-ministrators to find a solution. Theyhave done an incredible job in reducingcosts over the last few years, and thispast year has seen incredible progress,which puts us really close. I am meet-ing with representatives from two dif-ferent organizations that have helpedother rural hospitals. I have stayed incontact with the hospital’s board andthe county administrator and reallyappreciate their passion and effort todo what’s best for the county.Wayne County is discussing an effort

to bring large amounts of coal ash, viaa private company, that could be detri-mental to the environment. Our localdelegation of State Rep. Chad Nimmer,Sen. Tommie Williams and I have beenmeeting with agency departments to

determine what our options are. Afterall meetings have been completed, wewill issue a joint statement for the pub-lic hearing being hosted by the com-missioners. We will then proceedthrough the proper channels to makesure Wayne’s future is protected. In the second week of the session, the

joint House and Senate appropriationscommittees and subcommittees heldhearings to begin the budget process. Each session we are constitutionally

required to pass a balanced state bud-get. We have seen an increase in staterevenues each of the past three years,but perhaps the most astonishinggrowth we have seen is in our state’spopulation. Between 2000 and 2015,Georgia’s population grew by morethan 2 million, making us the eighthlargest state. As a result of this rev-enue and population growth, we areable to allow for “new” funding to ac-count for adjustments in the budget,including an increase of $1,651,892 tosupport the information technology ap-plications utilized by local school sys-tems. The governor also proposed anadjustment of $14.9 million in thisyear’s amended budget to providegrants to local school systems to im-prove Internet connectivity and for liveonline instruction and other digital re-sources for students and teachers.The budget proposal also makes

funding adjustments in education, im-pacting students planning to attendour colleges and universities. To ac-count for the increase in eligible indi-viduals, the governor has allocated anadditional $30.3 million for this yearand $59.1 million for next year for ZellMiller and HOPE Scholarship recipi-

ents. Many students rely on thesescholarships.As a result of revenue increases, the

governor has recommended an invest-ment of $300 million for K-12 educa-tion to allow local school districts togive salary increases, eliminate fur-lough days or increase instructiondays. The budget recommendation alsoincludes an additional $26.2 million infunding for pre-K teachers for salaryincreases up to 3 percent, as well as in-creasing salaries for assistant teachers.Our state’s criminal-justice reform

has made tremendous differences.State juvenile justice facilities haveseen a 25 percent decrease in popula-tion. Gov. Deal’s budget calls for an ad-ditional $3.8 million toward the ac-countability courts as a provenalternative to sentencing. An addi-tional $4.3 million would support edu-cational initiatives in the state prisonsystem, including costs for two charterhigh schools and expansion of GEDfast-track, vocational, and general-edu-cation programs.As a result of legislation passed last

session, Gov. Deal’s budget appropri-ates over $800 million to help maintainand improve the state’s roads andbridges. As I mentioned last week, ourcounty officials have stated that thishas helped the county tremendously inmoving projects up and are busy sched-uling those projects now instead ofyears later.As your state representative, I want

to know what issues are most impor-tant to you, and I welcome the opportu-nity to discuss them with you. The bestway to reach me isbill.werkheiser@house.ga.gov.

Congratulations, Odum Elementary School!

Halt permit processfor coal-ash answersAll one has to do is see or hear the

news of the tainted water supply inFlint, Mich., and then think of the pos-sible dumping of coal ash in ourcounty.

There are two very informative arti-cles recently published in the AtlantaJournal-Constitution that should be ofinterest to everyone in Wayne Countyand especially to us who live near theproposed dump site of the coal ash.The first article is an investigative re-port published Nov. 7, 2015, titled“Georgia coal ponds a ‘lurking disas-

ter.’” The second was published Jan.22, 2015, and titled “Pumping fromcoal ash pond into Lake Sinclairstopped, Georgia Power says.”The second article says that in gen-

eral the safest way to store coal ash isto move it away from rivers and lakes.

PRESSTALKContinued from page 5A

This proposed site is justthe opposite. Other state-ments concern leakage intothe groundwater system.The proposed dump site iswet.Among the main concerns

I have are: 1) this site is lo-cated on top of the FloridanAquifer; 2) it is located inthe surficial aquifer systemor local surficial aquifer(www.stateofwater.org ); 3)our home is located fivemiles from the proposedsite, and we have an 846-foot-deep well drawingwater from the FloridanAquifer; and 4) we have afarm located four milesfrom the site on WhitestarRoad. There are manycreeks and streams locatedin the proposed dump loca-tion that lead directly intoa creek that flows throughour farm property, wherewe have two shallow wells.Locating this dump site

on and in the aquifer sys-tem could result in monu-mental damage not only toour water but to the drink-ing water of millions of peo-ple. What illnesses could becaused if our water istainted? How long would it

take to really assess thedamage done to our drink-ing water? Could the dam-ages be permanent? Whatabout the wildlife, espe-cially the wildlife we huntand fish for food? Maybethe citizens of nearby coun-ties and north Floridawould be interested in whatmay occur here in WayneCounty and the lasting ef-fects it could have on them.Where does your bathing,

cooking and drinking watercome from? Where doesyour garden water comefrom? If you have a pool,where does the water comefrom? What damages couldbe done to us, not to men-tion our generations to fol-low?My fifth concern—is this

proposed dump already adone deal? Anyone whorides down BroadhurstRoad will see a fairly newpower line disappearingsouth into the pines. Wheredoes this go and for whatpurpose? No one lives downthere. Is this another pro-ject “slipped” in (like min-ing) on the citizens ofWayne County?Before retiring from the

Department of HomelandSecurity, I was in contract-ing for a period of time.Whenever I oversaw a con-tract that had gone throughlayers of lawyers, I alwayshad a go-to person, a con-tact. Therefore, my sixthconcern (and a troublingone that smells of back-room dealing)—who inWayne County is the go-toperson? No major firm willgo to the trouble of evenconsidering an endeavor ofthis magnitude without acontact. I guarantee youthis was the case for themining company.Has this firm already re-

ceived some guaranteesfrom this contact? Haveany laws been violated? Itis imperative these ques-tions be answered for all ofus.I applaud The Press-Sen-

tinel for bringing this loom-ing cloud to our attention.The permit process shouldbe halted indefinitely toallow for a more diligentand thorough investigationuntil all questions are an-swered.

GRICEContinued from page 1A

at the three largest fleamarkets in Europe. Whenhe returned to Germany forhis third tour, he continuedhis studies and his collec-tion of clocks.To date, the oldest clock

he has restored is a 1790 wallclock from Italy. Theyoungest is a 1901 Americanclock.“Each clock presents a dif-

ferent puzzle to bring it backto life. Working on my ownclocks, the chore is often sotime-consuming I would gobroke paying someone elseto do the work. The intricateclean-and-repair process ischallenging and rewarding.Plus, the clocks don’t talkback or harass me withsnide remarks,” he says.Grice and his wife of 47

years, Barbara, display afew of his restored clocks intheir home. He sells othersat flea markets, such as thePeaches to the BeachesPerry-to-Brunswick yardsale in March. At present,he’s restoring an old grand-father clock for someoneelse. He always starts by restor-

ing the wood cases “becausethe case plays a big part inbalancing the clockworks in-side.”“Ninety-nine percent of

the time, restoration meansgetting the clockworks inbalance. Without proper bal-ance, there is no hope of get-ting the clock to run consis-tently,” he says.This work requires not

only skill but also patience.In most instances, he canwork with the existing me-chanics of the original clock-works to restore life. How-ever, if a part is too“fatigued” to operate prop-erly, he may have to remakeit. There are catalogs fromwhich he can order some re-

placement parts and tools ofthe trade. “The most difficult

restoration comes if a wheelis chipped. The second mostdifficult is if a tooth of awheel is bent,” he says.The son of a career mili-

tary man who moved hisfamily frequently, this careermilitary chaplain moved,with his wife, more than 40times during his 25 years ofmilitary service. “With so many moves,

most of our U.S. furniturewas destroyed early in ourtravels. Picking up wood fur-niture at flea markets acrossEurope and learning to re-store it provided us with use-ful pieces for our home. Itwas also a big help in learn-ing how to restore clockcases,” he says.Several pieces of furniture

now adorning their home arelarge works of art featuringdetailed European sceneshand-carved into the wood.Much of what they pur-chased at flea markets wasbroken and needed major re-pairs. Over the years, he’slearned woodworking skillsby rebuilding these piecesand by learning to blend avariety of oils to restore thewood to its original finish.Since retiring, he has met

two master clockmakers inthe United States. Eachyear, he visits one and as-sists him in his repairs. Witheach visit, he learns a newtechnique or concept. “When I meet a stubborn

clock which resists coopera-tion with my magical tools, Igo to one of my two mentorsfor help,” he says.Although he is officially re-

tired from two professions,he still spends much timeworking with churches with-out pastors. Therefore, herarely has more than two

days a week to work onclocks.

Times of his lifeBorn on a military base

outside Dachau, Germany,the site of one of the Nazideath camps, Grice was edu-cated primarily in Colorado.When he was a junior inhigh school, he “sensed acalling to the ministry.”

However, both his highschool and college counselorsdiscouraged him from pur-suing this path. Because heenjoyed being outdoors, theypersuaded him to studyforestry. After strugglingwith math and sciencecourses, he decided to takecharge of his own directionand follow his call.While a sophomore at Col-

orado State University atPueblo, he met his wife-to-be. They married while bothwere still in college.“My grade point average

went straight up after wemarried,” he says with asmile.He worked during college.

In addition to enrolling inROTC to help fund his edu-cation, he also worked inconstruction. After he andhis wife graduated, theymoved to Denver, whereMrs. Grice began to teachhigh school businesscourses, and he enrolled inthe Iliff School of Theology. After he completed his

seminary studies, the Pres-byterian Church—becauseof his construction experi-ence—assigned him to over-see a construction projectunder way. After that, hewent to a small countrychurch in Kansas, where heserved as pastor for morethan three years.In 1978 he entered mili-

tary service as a chaplainwith the rank of captain. Al-though he conducted Sun-day services, he also spenthis time visiting hospitalizedpersonnel and counselingthose struggling with prob-lems. While in the service,he also taught courses atmilitary schools. His teach-ing specialties includeethics, theology, healingthrough laughter, post-trau-matic stress debriefing, spir-itual leadership, and parenteffectiveness training. Hecompleted postgraduatestudies at Group Inc. in Col-orado, where he learnedmethods for helpingchurches grow throughsmall-group studies and ac-tivities, and he earned a doc-torate in church growth atIrskine Theological Semi-nary in South Carolina.

One lesson that he learnedin the Army—how to leadpeople to say “yes”—he con-tinues to use today with hischurch work.He retired from the Army

as a colonel in 2002. In re-turning to civilian life, hefirst served Jekyll IslandPresbyterian Church for fiveyears. He then moved to achurch in Norfolk, Va.,which grew steadily duringhis five years as the minis-ter. Much to his dismay, anelectrical fire destroyed theadministrative offices of thisVirginia church and burnedhis lifetime collection ofbooks, sermons, notes andother writings.He retired from full-time

service as a minister in2013. Since then, however,he has served as a statedsupply minister for severalchurches, including FirstPresbyterian of Jesup.He and his wife have two

daughters. Lori Broadrick,who works in law enforce-ment in New York, is mar-ried to retired homicide de-tective Dennis Broadrick.They have three children,Brittany, Nicholas andMelanie.When Grice was stationed

at Fort Stewart, youngerdaughter Adrianne met herhusband-to-be, Billy Hunter.They married and settled ona farm in Wayne County.They have two sons, Danieland Ethan. Three years ago, when the

Grices debated about a placeto retire, they weighed theirchoices: snow and traffic inNew York vs. heat and bugsin Georgia. Wanting to livenear one of their children,they opted for Jesup as theirretirement home.

two restored 19th-century clocks from France hangon adjoining walls in the home of Barbara and RichardGrice. He always begins clock restoration by workingon the wooden cases because much of the balancenecessary for a clock to work consistently lies in thecase.

ward the same agenda.”His third priority, continu-

ing the emphasis on relation-ships, has been to meet witheconomic-development lead-ers in Atlanta.He was in Atlanta not only

for the Okefenokee Occasionreception two weeks ago butalso for individual meetingslast week.Ironically, the Authority it-

self has not met since he tookoffice. (The regularly sched-uled January meeting wouldhave conflicted with Okefeno-kee Occasion.) The Authorityis next scheduled to meet onFeb. 9.Keith is eager to have an

administrative assistant tohelp him in the office. In themeantime, he is continuing towork with his predecessor,John Riddle, to ensure asmooth transition.He is also continuing to dis-

cuss the possibility of sharingthe Authority offices with the

Wayne County Chamber ofCommerce. He is sharing in-formation with state develop-ment officials about thenewly open facility on TankRoad following the closing ofthe Clyde Bergemann PowerGroup operation there. Andhe is trying to learn moreabout Republic Services’ per-mit application for a rail yardto bring trainloads of coal ashinto the county for disposal atthe Broadhurst landfill.Looking ahead, Keith is op-

timistic.“I think there are a lot of

positive things going on,” hesaid.Crediting Riddle with hav-

ing done the necessary leg-work, Keith said, “We’reprimed to get new industry ofsome kind.”He also stressed the Au-

thority’s commitment to helpexisting industries grow andexpand, in addition to at-tracting new industries.

For Keith, building the re-lationships to attract new in-dustries is much like thework that farmers do before acrop emerges from theground.“You have to prepare the

soil,” he said. “... You have toplant a few seeds and hopesomething comes up.”According to Keith, Wayne

County has some fertilesoil—the county has proxim-ity to the Brunswick and Sa-vannah ports and significantrail capabilities.The key going forward, he

thinks, will be the workforce.Thus, Keith believes that thepositions he and fellowWayne resident Jack Perretthold on the Georgia Work-force Development Board willbe helpful.Keith is being paid $75,000

a year for his new position.(At the time he stepped down,Riddle was making$104,000.)

A historical milestonewas etched at the LovettSchool in Atlanta on Nov.22. Twelve scouts fromTroop 304 were simulta-neously awarded theirEagle Scout badges.What also made this oc-casion historically signif-icant was the fact that all12 are members of theLovett senior class of2016 and all had beenlinked together in scout-ing since the first grade. Becoming an Eagle

Scout is a high and diffi-cult mountain to scale.Only 2 percent of allscouts ever reach the top.Lovett School Troop 304could correctly be de-scribed as an “EagleScout nursery,” havingproduced 100 EagleScouts since its foundingin 1996. Since the BoyScouts of Americastarted keeping score in1912, two years aftertheir creation, 2 millionEagle Scout honoreeshave been registered inthe U.S. No records existto indicate whether 12were ever inducted in asingle ceremony. To earn the Eagle Scout

rank, candidates are re-quired to earn at least 21merit badges and demon-strate ideals of serviceand leadership, includingleading an extensive ser-vice project. Collectively,

these scouts contributedmore than 1,500 hours ofservice, involved morethan 130 volunteers, andraised more than $16,000for their projects. Thesole beneficiaries of thismoney and their sweatwere charitable organi-zations in the local com-munity. As these scouts tra-

versed this rigorous anddemanding journey, theystill found time for theirstudies and participationon Lovett’s football, base-ball, lacrosse, golf andswim teams, as well asplaying in the jazz en-semble. To be sure, becoming

an Eagle Scout demandsunwavering parentalsupport and commitmentas well as dedicated guid-ance from a Scoutmaster,adult Patrol Leaders anda Troop Committee. In asense, it is a completeteam with many cheer-leaders and a commongoal. Aside from the fact that

I was once a Boy Scoutand reached the rank ofFirst Class, our nephew,Joseph Callaway, wasone of the 12 EagleScouts honored in thisceremony. I would behard-pressed to name afiner, more deservingyoung man who pos-sesses and reflects the

attributes and values ofan Eagle Scout. In his remarks at the

Court of Honor cere-mony, ScoutmasterEmeritus Kevin Link,who served as Troop304’s Scoutmaster for 10years, said, “Your posi-tion [Eagle Scout] is nowone of honor and respon-sibility. You are a markedman. I charge you to un-dertake your citizenshipwith a serious dedica-tion. Be a leader, but leadonly toward the best. Liftup every task you per-

form and every office youhold to the highest levelof service … to God and

your fellow man; live andserve by example so thatthose who know you will

be inspired to a finerstandard.”
