Happy Grandparents' Day!

Grandparents are like honeybees;

They are the very sweetest.

They give you hugs and kisses,

And their storeis are the neatest.

The honey they produce
Is more valuable than gold,

For this honey is the lessons

That we lovingly are told.

Grandparents want the best for us

And say we can achieve

Any goal that we have set,

If only we believe.

They help us spread our wings

So when we leave our honeycomb,

We'll make the right decisions

Though we be away from home.

Yes, grandpas are like silver,

And grandma are a gem,
But better than one hundred diamons

Are the things I learn from them.

Real People, Real Heroes

Cub Scout Patrick McCarthy

On Friday July 23, 2010 a potential tragedy was averted due to the calm reaction and quick
thinking of eight year old Bear Cub Scout Patrick McCarthy of Bear Delaware. Patrick is a member of Cub Scout Pack 902 that meets at Cornerstone Methodist Church in Glasgow Delaware.

Patrick was visiting with his cousin Jessica and his three month old second cousin Autumn in
Peach Bottom Pennsylvania. On the spur of the moment, Jessica decided to take Patrick and Autumn to a friends home to swim. They were joined by friends Betsy and two year old Trent.

While Jessica and Betsy were occupied taking pictures of Autumn’s first time in a pool, Patrick
noticed that Trent had picked up the floating pool thermometer and attempted to put it in the pool. Trent ended up toppling head first into four feet of water and bumping his head on the side of the pool as he fell in. Patrick calmly started calling for help and began to swim over to assist Trent until the adults could reach him. Due to Patrick’s quick reaction Trent was hastily pulled from the water, coughing up water and terrified, but none the worse.

Patrick told his cousin Jessica that he learned about swimming safety and letting his “Akela” know when help is needed while in Cub Scouts. Earlier in the year Patrick had learned about swimming safety while earning his swimming belt loop.

Patrick started swim lessons with Team Delaware swim team at the age of two and by age six he was certified pool safe. Not being strong swimmers themselves, Dad and Mom were insistent that Patrick learn to swim at an early age thinking it might one day save his life. It never dawned on them that at such an early age Patrick would be able to put his skills to use to help someone else. Money well spent!!

Dad and Mom are so very proud of Patrick! They are thankful for his Cub Scout training and
most importantly, thankful that God put Patrick in the right place at the right time!

And the winners are ...
