A representative for thesole provider of bloodservices for Marion GeneralHospital encouraged moreopportunities for donatingblood at last week’s MayCatchy Friday.

Katie Swinney of UnitedBlood Services addressed thegroup at the monthly MarionCounty Development Part-nership meeting, “Otherblood services are good, but

your donations don’t stay inthis community,” Swinneysaid. “United Blood Servicesis your hospital’s soleprovider.”

According to Swinney, ifdonors, who donate one timeper year, would donate threetimes per year, “there wouldnever be a shortage.” Shesaid UBS is currentlyactively promoting multipledonations with a pointsprograms for prizes andrewards.

“We like to think peopleonly donate for the good it

does, but realistically we alllike to get a little somethingback,” Swinney said. Donorscan make appointments atwww.unitedbloodservices.orgto give blood. Appointmentsmade through the websiteand kept earn extra points, asdo summer donations.

Points can be redeemed foreverything from t-shirts toice cream, movie tickets, cds,video games and dvds.

Policing priorities

Over the past year, sincetaking office, ColumbiaPolice Chief Jim Kinslow hasbeen making changes.

Recently, Kinslow reportedsome of the changes to theColumbia Board ofAldermen, and spoke lastweek about the state of thingsin the department.

“When I came in, we didnot have a single certifieddispatcher,” Kinslow said.“They had people in dispatchthat should not have beenallowed to use theequipment.” Kinslow said

that state lawm a n d a t e sdispatchers becertified. “Youhave one yearfrom the timeyou’re hired onto getcertified.”

The city hasfour fulltime dispatchers andseveral part timers.“Dispatch has to be manned24 hours per day, seven daysa week,” Kinslow said. Inaddition to all of thedispatchers being statecompliant, they are alsoreceiving continuingeducation training, which isrequired by state law. “We’re

now conducting regularlyscheduled meetings to ensurethat compliance with policyand procedures and state law.This is the first time we’recompliant as far as testing.”Kinslow said some of thecertifications are necessary touse the basic tools of thesystem, including NCIC, thenational crime database.

Another plus had been theelimination of a great deal ofovertime in dispatch. “We’vedecreased overtime hours by80 percent,” Kinslow said.

But, it’s not just dispatchwhere changes took effect.“Currently, all officers withthe CPD are state certified.I’ve brought them up to meet

OUR VIEWS

The 50th anniversary of the Freedom Riders civil rights trip through theSouth has passed. In 1961, Mississippi officials arrested the college students onboard the integrated buses and put them in the state penitentiary. In 2011, thestate welcomed them back, and Gov. Haley Barbour rightly apologized fortheir mistreatment half a century ago.

It’s fine to use events like those of last week to look back, to see whathappened and how much things have changed since then. But it is just asimportant — really, even more important — to look forward and see whatneeds to change in the future.

The change Mississippi needs is obvious. We need to aim higher in bothfamily life and education, two areas that are closely intertwined.

Mississippi has too many children growing up without the active guidanceof both a mother and a father. This is not intended as criticism of single parents,many of whom do the best they can in a situation that is difficult, bothfinancially and emotionally. But parenting usually works best when there ismore than one person to share the burden.

When family life is unstable, education often suffers. The state is payingmore attention to education than ever before, and spending more money on it,but still we struggle to keep up with improvements in other states.

There’s no way to sugarcoat it: Too much of the problem stems fromdetached students and parents who just don’t see the value in education.

This indifference then stretches into the workplace and sometimes lasts alifetime. Another group of Freedom Riders could make a measurablecontribution to change this backward way of thinking.

Ultimately, it is up to Mississippians to improve their state. We must demandmore of ourselves. But it sure would be nice to have some help from peoplewho are just as committed to “change” as were the people who arrived on thosebuses in 1961. These days, the change is rooted in economics. Nobody likescarrying the label of the poorest state in America. Many people in Mississippiare hungry to do better, but they may not know how to go about it. Old fearsmay come into play, or they may lack the courage and the willpower to pushthemselves a little harder, to dare to be different.

Fifty years ago, the Freedom Riders came to Mississippi to tear down theinstitution of segregation. The task of the next generation of riders — today’syoung people who say they are inspired by the example set in

1961 — should be to help build up the state; to help more of its people reachtheir potential. Maybe these Freedom Riders are coming from elsewhere, ormaybe — hopefully — Mississippi is producing more people who see thepossibilities of the future and want to help the state reach them.

Either way, the task is daunting but the benefits would be enormous.Such an achievement — to help lift Mississippi off the bottom — would be

even more impressive than what the original group accomplished.

A new task forFreedom Riders

Dear Editor: We the concerned citizens of Columbia, Miss., would like to allow

everyone equal rights. We are not saying that some people are treatedbetter than others, but some people have a better chance of education.

We have a proposition that could easily solve that problem. Since thegovernor gave the Columbia Training School facility to the city ofColumbia, we think it could serve as a profit to the people of Columbia.

Many counties and cities in Mississippi have their own communitycolleges. Hinds County has Hinds Community College, Jones Countyhas JCJC and there are even two Pearl River Community Colleges. Whycan’t Columbia have one?

If we could put a community college in place of the training schoolfacility, our college students could save money on travel costs and manyunemployed people could possibly get jobs.

All we are asking is for someone to take this into consideration.

Signed,Viola ExposeColumbia, Mississippi

Idea to convert the training school to a community college

There’s a new man in my life. Don’t run and call yourmomma, yet. It’s not quite as scandalous as it might haveseemed at first glance. My husband shaved his goatee forthe second time in the thirteen years I’ve known him andhe is a new man. The first time I saw his bare face wasshortly after we had married. We had moved to Texas andin the week we spent looking for jobs, we had a lot of timeon our hands. I wondered out loud what his face lookedlike under all that hair and double-dog dared him to shave.Realizing how serious a double-dog dare is, and notwanting to look like a total wuss to his new bride, heaccepted my challenge and shaved his face. I promptlydoubled over on the floor laughing.

I didn’t do it to hurt his feelings or wound his pride, Iliterally could not control myself. I laughed until I had tearsstreaming down my face and my stomach ached. It wasn’tthat he looked funny, he just didn’t look like himself. Assoon as I quit laughing so he could speak he said, “I amnever shaving again.” He looked so different, that oneafternoon when he walked into our apartment I caught hisreflection in the mirror above the sink while I was washingdishes. The sight of a strange man walking into myapartment scared me so badly that I let out a blood curdlingscream. Zeb jumped, scared half to death by my shrieking,“What is wrong with you?!”

“I didn’t realize it was you. Sorry.”He shook his head. “I am NEVER shaving again.” And he didn’t for over twelve years. But a few weeks

ago, after the kids had gone to bed and we were watchinga movie and sharing some popcorn, Zeb leaned in for akiss. “Gross,” I said. “What?” He asked. “I’m so tired ofbeard hair up my nose.” (All the ladies of men with facialhair said, “Amen.”) “I’m so tired of you complaining aboutbeard hair up your nose,” he retorted.

“Yeah, well. You could fix that with a quick shave.” Isaid, shoveling more popcorn in my mouth. “Maybe Iwill.” He said. “Uh-huh. I bet you will.” I rolled my eyes.

Zeb went to the bathroom and I heard the buzz of electricclippers. I jumped off the couch and ran to the bathroom tofind him standing in front of the mirror shearing off hisbeard.

“Wow. You were really tired of me complaining, huh?” Apparently he snapped. I had gone and broken the

camel’s back. I complained onetime too many and he wasn’thaving it. It was the single mostdemonstrative thing he has doneto show his love for me since wewere married. I was speechless.Our children were not.

The next morning Aubrey andEmma ran into the kitchen forbreakfast and skidded to a stopwhen they saw their daddy.

“OH! Daddy! I didn’t evennotice you there!” Aubrey, oursix-year-old, exclaimed. I’mpretty sure she meant she didn’t know it was him, becauseshe certainly noticed him. She was staring and her mouthwas hanging open.

“Daddy, your nose is really big.” Our four-year-old,Emma said seriously. When Sadie, our two-year-old, wokeup Zeb went into her room to get her out of the bed and sherecoiled from him. She scrambled into my arms as soon ashe carried her into the room. She buried her face in mychest and said, “No, Daddy!” He tried to talk to her toreassure her that he was still her daddy, but she was havingnone of it. She wouldn’t even make eye contact. I put herdown so I could get dressed and she hid her face in my legsand whined, “Momma, Daddy is so sca-wee!”

They have slowly adjusted to their new and hairlessdaddy. Aubrey has crossed her arms and stomped her foota few times and said, “Would you stop shaving now? Youare supposed to have a beard!” But at least nobody crieswhen they look at him anymore.

My kids may not be happy but I, on the other hand, havenothing to complain about. I have no beard hairs up mynose and a new man in my life. So if you see me runningaround with a younger man, you can be jealous, but youdon’t have to bother telling my husband.

ROBIN’S CHICKS by Robin O’Bryant

Monday morning, May 23, 2011, the day after ourfamily’s appointment service, we woke up to sunny LosAngeles weather. It was at a commemorative churchservice the night before when the Johnson family alongwith twenty-four others officially became missionarieswith the International Mission Board. We had never felt soencouraged, inspired and uplifted, and the morning after,our hearts were still soaring.

Still, old habits die hard, so the first thing I did afterbreathing in the morning air through our opened hotel-room window, was reach for my cell phone to check myemail.

I wasn’t expecting what I found in my inbox. I sat downin a nearby chair as if the wind had been knocked out of mysails.

“Bryan McCraw had a heart attack. He’s in ICU. Pleasepray,” the email read.

Alone in my room because the rest of my family hadgone for breakfast, I fell to my knees beside the bed andprayed.

Like it was just yesterday, the moment flashed in mymemory of the night when we received the call that myfather-in-law had been killed in a car accident. We hadcome home from church on a Wednesday night. We hadput our sweet little infant Zoë, not even a year old at thetime, into her crib for the night. We were sitting in the denpeacefully watching some basketball on TV when thephone rang.

It was a licensed counselor with the Florida HighwayPatrol on the other end and she asked my husband if therewas someone there with him and could he sit down forsome news she needed to tell him. It was a night thatchanged our lives in so many ways, and just a little over tenyears later, the pain came back fresh in my mind, feelingfor the McCraw family. It was just a little later that welearned despite doctors’ best efforts, our friend, Dr. BryanMcCraw had gone on to Glory.

We first began to get to know the McCraws early in1998. CJ and I had just moved to Columbia, and we werespending time visiting the families of all the youthattending our church. The elder McCraw daughters, twinsAbbey and Amber, had already graduated from high schoolat the time, but younger daughter, Emily, was in the eighthgrade and very active in the youth group. I remember verywell the warm, loving, and family-centered environmentwe felt in the McCraw home. Bryan McCraw seemed to bea quiet man, yet full of strength and wisdom. My lastingimpression of his wife, Sybil, was her great smile and kindspirit. It was the first of many opportunities we’d have tospend time with the McCraws in their home.

Sybil was a “Davis” before marriage and their wholeextended family is very close. The Davis’ and theMcCraws have often included my family in their holidaycelebrations and events, and they generally made us feellike relatives when our own were far away.

I have a picture stored in a scrapbook of an Easter wespent at the McCraw home. They had an Easter egg hunt intheir backyard, and the picture shows a tiny two-year oldZoë peeking around Bryan McCraw’s legs to see where theeggs were hidden as he pointed the direction for her to go.

It seems in life, Bryan McCraw was often pointing thedirection for other people. A respected and revered doctor,there are countless stories of lives he’s impacted and saved.

As this newspaper prepared topublish a story in this pastweekend’s paper, a tribute to thelife of Dr. Bryan McCraw, weheard numerous examples fromindividuals who were cared forby this extraordinary man.

It was in one of the darkestmoments of my life when BryanMcCraw came to my aid. It wasin 2007 as my husband lay in ahospital bed suffering from anunknown ailment. I remember itwas in the middle of the nightwhen a somber doctor came into the room and said, “Wedon’t think he’s going to make it much longer. We’re doingeverything we can, but you need to be prepared that hemight not make it through the hour.”

I was beside myself and didn’t know what to do. CJ laythere unconscious, and I was all alone.

I called my mom, crying. She said, let me get somepeople praying right now! It was just a few minutes laterwhen my phone rang. It was Dr. McCraw on the linecalling from his home. He calmly said, “Tell meeverything. What’s going on?”

I repeated to him verbatim what the attending doctor hadsaid to me. It was craziness in the room as nurses andphysicians were coming and going with haste. There wereneedles and wires and all kinds of medical tools beingwheeled in and out. Bryan patiently and coolly explainedto me everything they were doing to CJ as I watched withmy eyes and translated to him.

I remember at one point when CJ screamed with agonyof the pain he was experiencing, and Dr. McCraw said tome, “Don’t worry. That scream is a good thing. It meanswhat they’re doing is working.”

I also remember after more than an hour had elapsedwhen Bryan said the words, “It’s ok. CJ is in the clearnow.”

It was my faith in God and the compassion of Dr. BryanMcCraw that got me through that most difficult night.

As I sit here now reminiscing, I wonder if I ever toldBryan thank you enough for what he did that night?

Since Bryan McCraw’s passing, it’s the words of hisdaughter, Abbey, that have stuck with me. She said to meas we sat together, sharing memories on the day of hisfuneral, “My dad was truly a wonderful man, buteverything he was, was because of my mother.”

Sybil and Bryan were blessed with a long, lovingmarriage and a happy family. Sybil shared through thepastor at Bryan’s funeral that his last words to her beforegoing to sleep on Sunday night were, “I love you.”

Bryan’s abbreviated existence with us reminds us thatlife is short and life is a gift.

As I picture Bryan McCraw now, running on streets ofgold in Heaven, I think he would encourage us to love andlive. It’s the legacy he’s passed down to his family and somany others.

Love like this day is the last, and live life to the fullest asGod intends us to do.

Like most residents in thecommunity who were here in2005, Bullock marked hermove into the home onNational Guard Road inrelation to HurricaneKatrina.

“I moved in three monthsbefore Katrina,” she said. “Ihad five trees down in thefront, but was just glad theyweren’t on the house. “

The beautiful lawn andflowerbeds surrounding thehouse now is evidence of the

hard work Bullock did torestore the yard, but shedownplays theaccomplishment.

“I laughed for 15 minuteswhen they called me about[winning the Yard of the

Month,]”, Bullock said. “Ireally couldn’t imagine themchoosing my yard.”

Bullock credits anemployee with the largestpart of the physical work inthe yard, claiming she only

gives him direction.The Beautification

not donate blood are fear andconvenience but that thenumber one reason is that noone has asked them to give.

“UBS doesn’t need theblood. Your family andpatients right here in yourcommunity do and the bloodwe need today had to bedonated two weeks ago tokeep up the supply. So asksomebody,” she said.

Swinney said any civicgroup, business ororganization can sponsor ablood drive. She encouragedthose present to check outthe UBS website forsponsorship information.“We ask for 30 committeddonors to make it worthcoming out,” she said.

Giving blood, not onlyhelps others, but alsoprovides the donor andhis/her family with bloodassurance to pay the bloodbank bill in the event blood isneeded. For an organization,if just 12 and a half percentof the population of thegroup give, then UBSprovides blood assurance forall members of the group.

To close the meeting,MCDP President ReneDungan announced threeribbon-cuttings on schedulein the county, Walgreens onThursday, Jun. 2 at 4 p.m.,First Choice on Friday, Jun.3, at 10 a.m., and 2 BrothersGrill on Tuesday, Jun. 7, at10 a.m.

and Cooper and McKenzie each topped100 with Cooper notching 103 arrestsand McKenzie 101. “That’s prettygood for a city and county this size,”Cooper said. This year, Deputy JustinBranning of the Harrison CountySheriff’s Office tallied 297 arrests for2010 for the most of any officer in thestate. Ten officers in the state recordedmore than 200 arrests.

“He’s been a fantastic officer,”Marion County Sheriff Berkley Hallsaid of Forbes. “He keeps up with thechanges in the laws. He’s also acertified instructor.” Forbes helps trainother officers in field sobrietychecking.

“He takes his job seriously, and itshows,” Hall said. But it’s not justdrunken drivers that account for DUI’s.Hall said prescription drugs are also agrowing problem. “Some people over-medicate, and that’s DUI-Other. It’s

determined by a standard field sobrietytest.”

Hall said Forbes salary is paid by agrant. “We’re putting the finishingtouches on the grant for next year,”he added.

Last year, deputies from the MCSOmade 262 DUI arrests. “Statistics sayfor every one we get, six get away,”Hall said. “If we had 500 between thecity and county, that means 3,000 gota way. It’s an extensive thing.”

“It’s a proven fact that so manyinjuries and deaths are related toimpaired drivers,” said ColumbiaPolice Chief Jim Kinslow. “Theseguys are specialists in the field.They’re trained for the task ofspecialized enforcement.” Kinslowsaid each year impaired drivers causeloss of life, injuries and propertydamage. “We want them (impaireddrivers) off the road.”

There are many innocent victimsaccording the chief. “There’s alwaysa possibility a driver could beimpaired. It’s a high priority with lawenforcement. It’s something we takevery seriously in Columbia.”

Kinslow said officers will be out inforce this weekend as Memorial Dayopens up the summer holiday drivingseason. “We’ve got a grant thatallows us to bring additional officerson to help during the holidays. Otherofficers are making DUI arrestsalso.”

Driving impaired isn’t just aboutdrinking and driving. “DUI’s caninclude prescription drugs and othersubstances.” Kinslow saidenforcement is “very important.”

“One of them (DUI officers) is outevery night,” Kinslow said, addingthat officers’ salaries are paid bygrants as well.

Salutecontinued from Page 1

commemorate the fallen. Heexpressed thanks to thoseofficers “for giving their allfor us,” and thanks to theirfamilies for their “price paidevery day.”

Kittrell also thanked themen and women present inlaw enforcement, for theirservice. He said he thankedGod that we only had eightmen on the list, “especiallyin light of recent events,” hesaid, referring to a recentincident in the county,involving a gunfightbetween officers and asuspect. “We are thankfulwe are not honoring more,”Kittrell said.

Following an invocationby Rev. Larry Massey, Rev.

Mike Grenn of NorthColumbia Baptist Churchshared thoughts based onRomans 13. He stated that itis good to have a time ofremembrance, a time toshow respect and a time tostrengthen relationships.“We need God and we needeach other,” he told thosegathered on the lawn of thecourthouse.

Marion County DeputyAndrew Phillips placed awreath by the memorialmarker and Marion CountySheriff Berkley Hall andColumbia Police Chief JimKinslow presented roses tofamily members of theofficers being honored.

the standards that arerequired by statute. Everyofficer wearing a badge andgun in Columbia is a statecertified officer.” Kinslowsaid it’s the first time all theofficers have been certified,even though it is required.“City officials could havebeen held accountable forhaving uncertified peopleout there.”

The department also hasfour new patrol vehicles.“We were able to purchasethem on a financing planwhich allowed us to pay forone car a year. The vehiclescame equipped, ready toroll,” Kinslow said.

The cars are now assignedto specific officers, with twoper car. “The cars now don’trun more than 12 hours perday,” Kinslow said. The carsare maintained andinspected. “Supervisors areheld accountable for the carsand inspect themperiodically.” Inspectionscould reveal dents orabusive use. “This brings

maintenance costs down. It’saccountability.”

The department has alsocut fuel use. “We’veimplemented Fuel Man. Wecan find out when cars arefilled and see where we’reat,” Kinslow said. Aldermenreceive copies of thedepartment’s monthlystatements to see the fuelconsumption. “They canlook at it monthly, weekly,whenever they want.”

Kinslow said in addition,overtime hours have beencut by as much as 90percent. All officers havebeen required to attendservice training on varioustopics and the departmentnow has two state certifiedinstructors. “We have fewerofficers than when I gothere, and yet we have moreofficers on the street thanbefore.” The departmentcurrently has 23 officers.

The CPD, for the firsttime, is in compliance withthe handling of juvenileoffenders according to the

Federal Juvenile JusticeSystem. The department hasalso seen a decrease infelony cases, but a highpercentage of felonies aresolved. In 2010, throughApril, 103 felonies werereported. This year, throughApril 7, 38 felonies werereported. Of the 38 reportedin 2011, 28 had been solvedand one was determined tobe unfounded. “I meetregularly with the detectivesand find out what’shappened on the cases,”Kinslow said.

The department alsoundertook a massiveinventory project. Prior toMarch 1, 2010, there hadbeen no accurate inventoryof equipment at the CPDaccording to Kinslow.“Currently, all items andequipment have beeninventoried and accountedfor,” he said.

Along with the inventory,evidence collection has alsobeen reorganized. “Recordsshow that from 2003 until

December 2010, noevidence was properlylogged and accounted for,”Kinslow said. Now,evidence is tracked on acomputer system and isaccounted for, organized andsecurely stored. “We checkon a daily basis,” Kinslowsaid. “We have a swipe cardsystems that tells us whowas in the evidence roomand for how long.”

Evidence items are nowlabeled and bar coded. “It’sgot the case number andwhere it’s located in thecomputer system. Evenwhen evidence goes to thecrime lab, it’s checked out.When it comes back in, it’schecked in. We know whatroom it’s in and what bin itcan be found in.”

Kinslow said theorganization of evidencewill help expedite theprocess when criminals arebrought to trial. “If we didn’thave these pieces ofevidence, cases couldn’t gothrough.”
