A BRAND NKVV Kki'DGK ut (he St. Alban's Chapel near Brooklyn Lake in the Snowies in Wyoming
was built last summer as an Eagle Scout project by Kill Parks and friends. The chapel is used by
many as a wedding chapel in the summer months. Parks is the yrandson of former Dew residents
Jean and kellous Knylish.
St. Alban’s bridge is Eagle Scout project
EDITOR'S NOTE: The
following article was taken from
the March 1st, 1992 edition of
the Laramie, YVyo. Daily
Boomerang. Kill Parks, who
recently became an Eagle Scout,
is the grandson of Jean and
Kellous English, formerly of
Dew, who now live in Laramie,
Wyo. and the great grandson of
the late Mr. and Mrs. WAV.
Moore and Mr. and Mrs. J.E.
English of Dew. Kill is also the
nephew of several Teague
residents. The story was written
by Boomerang Staff Writer Amy
Nagle.
Bill Parks has crossed a lot of
bridges in his 17 years, but the most
important bridge he’s ever crossed is
the one at St. Alban’s Chapel in the
Snowy Range. He built that bridge as
a project to become an Eagle Scout.
Parks learned a lot from building
the little bridge that crosses a dry
stream at the mountain chapel. Not
only was the project a good learning
experience from a construction and
planning standpoint. I learned a lot
about leadership from the project,"
he said. "One of the biggest lessons is
that nine people are awfully hard to
organize and keep busy all day. After
the first day, I decided perhaps three
or four would be a better number to
work with.”
Parks solicited the aid of his father
and grandfather, "mostly for techni-
cal advice, and suggestions” he said,
and a few others to help him tear out
the few rotting planks and rickety
posts that were laid across a dry
stream bed. The crew then built a
frame, poured concrete and built a
sturdy w'ooden bridge complete with
strong handrails. "This will be a lot
more accessible for the hand-
icapped,” Parks observed, pointing
to the structure in a photo.
The tiny mountain chapel is used
for summer services and wedding
ceremonies. The entire structure in-
cluding some rows of haphazard out-

104 E. Commerce Mexia, Texas
door benches was in serious disre-
pair due to a 19!H) storm before Donn
Sneddon organized a refurbishment
party to rescue the church. Materials
for both the structural recon-
struction and the bridge project were
provided by the St. Matthews Episco-
pal Church.
In total, 135 man hours were de-
voted to building the bridge, includ-
ing 20 each from Bill and his father,
Don. "That’s about average for an
Eagle project,” Parks said.
In addition to a proposal for the
bridge project, the construction and
a follow-up report to the Boy Scout
Council, Parks had other achieve-
ments and duties to perform before
he could earn the rank of Eagle
Scout. Along with demonstrating
leadership abilities, he also was re-
quired to earn 21 merit badges, hold
leadership positions for a certain
amount of time, demonstrate scout
spirit through participation in meet-
ings and scout activities, and help
the younger scouts with their ad-
vancement in the scouting program.
All those were the immediate re-
quirements, Parks said. “I suppose
you could say I started my Eagle
when I became a Cub Scout nine
years ago. It has been a very, very
worthwhile experience.” Parks be-
gan his scouting career in College
Station, Texas. He then moved with
his family to Clcmson, South Caro-
lina. “The one difference I see in the
three programs is that in Laramie,
the program is more active and more
like what I expect in a Scout troop,”
he explained. “There is a good deal
of emphasis on advancement and
gaining merit badges. We don’t force
our Scouts to advance, but we offer
opportunities without pushing
them.” He added, “I’ve also learned
some pretty interesting lessons
about winter camping since we
moved to Laramie — staying warm
seems to be a big priority."
Scouting has been a great experi-
ence for Parks. He said one of the
most memorable times of his life was
during a Boy Scout camp out at the
old ski resort on Happy Jack Road.
“I sustained the worst injury at a
sledding camp out (no longer an an-
nual outing). On my first run down,-I
successfully broke my collarbone,!’
he laughed. “The snow was thin and
icy and we got going too fast. When
we finally stopped, I slid off and
landed in the least correct way.” ;
Parks thanks his leaders, past and
present, for their efforts that have
gone toward his earning his Eagle
award. He thanks his parents, Don
and Judy Parks, and the parents of
scouts in troop 137 as well. '
What’s next for the 17 year-old Ea-
gle Scout? "I’m hoping to go to the
Air Force Academy's Summer Sci-
entific Seminar,” he said, “and I’m
waiting for information on Boys’
State. I also plan to continue on in
scouting in more leadership posi-
tions.” Parks said he is presently
busy as an active member of the La-
ramie High School band, as an aco-
lyte at St. Matthew's Cathedral, and
as a referee in the Laramie Soccer
Association.

Teague Nursing Home News
•By Genell Giles-
Wc arc told that we live in the
"age of anxiety”. There are many
who point out that we live in a
time of fear, trevail, and uncer-
tainty. For generations we have
been running like an old mother
hen with her br<x>d of little ones
scampering under her wings.
Our generation and those pre-
ceding us have learned to build
tall buildings, faster phones and
the longest bridges ever seen. We
have proved the far reaches of
space. Yet, we to this very mo-
ment in time, have an ongoing,
abiding problem finding peace and
equality and then maintaining
these elusive creatures.
I am thankful, so very thankful,
that our residents here at our home
have found peace and sanctuary
from the rigors of everyday life.
They have all certainly found
equality in the way their needs and
wants arc met. Our staff sees that
they arc treated with loving care
and deep respect.
We have so many things here
at our home to be thankful for.
We arc having some really well
attended and enthusiastic jam ses-
sions by our Home Rylhm Band
on Monday mornings. Our people
Ux)k forward to these music-mak-
ing binges, and especially love
Estelle for her helping hands at the
keyboard. Thanks Estelle for get-
ting our Mondays off to a great
start.
The taped church sermon of the
First Baptist Church is enjoyed by
our residents. The music and the
sermons arc spirit lifting. Thanks
Mr. & Mrs. Ellisor for providing
this service for our residents each
Monday morning.
Decorating, decorating, whose
been decorating? We have deco-
rated our place green, St. Patricks
day is nearly here and we don’t
want to forget the occasion. A
green shamrock are in vogue.
Mrs. Justina Swint has made a lot
of our decorations. She is good
and so willing to help in making
our home look pretty. Thanks Mrs.
Swint.
Bingo is our residents game of
choice and chance, not to mention
skill. We had two sessions of this
traditional favorite last week. Vera
did the calling for both sessions.
Our deserving winners were:
Justina Swint, Ethel McKemi,
Cora Altcnburger, Dollie Bea
Robinson, Vada Bottoms, and
Lola West.
Checkers was also enjoyed by
some of our residents. Also domi-
noes is the choice of some.
Volunteers help in these
games. Don’t hold back in joining
our crowd participating in bingo,
checkers and dominoes just be-
cause you think you can’t play.
We have some very good teachers.
You will be playing like a pro in
no time at all and having a lot of
fun. We are making a place for
you!
Wednesday is beauty day here
at our place Attarie Anders primps
and prettys our gals. They get to
let their hair hang down and then
get it all curled up again. They
come out looking better than ever.
They also get extra attention given
to their nails by Robin Schaff this
week. Thanks Robin for your
special touch that means so much
to our residents. Volunteers are
usually needed wouldn’t you like
to help provide this extra care and
attention for our residents? You
can be that special someone to
give them their extra special atten-
tion.
Ring the school bell! We had
our first ceramic class Thursday
afternoon. Wc had a great lime
and good attendance. Wc did a lot
of painting and a bunch of fellow-
shiping. Hcres the good news, we
still have room for some more
painters and this could mean you.
Come on down to the activity
room, Thursday afternoon and
give it a try. You will probably

Friday afternoon Madalyn Hass
dropped in and entertained us with
some old time melodics on the
piano. There was a lot of good
music, a lot of delicious cookies
and punch, and some great fellow-
ship. (as in loud talking, laughing,
and merry-making). Thanks Ma-
dalyn.
One of our most important
weekly activities is our care-plan
preparation. This is accomplished
each Wednesday afternoon. Wc
update these carcplans every 90
days for each of our residents,
because their needs arc constantly
changing. This is an activity in
which wc desire family participa-
tion, whenever possible. Several
of our residents families were in
attendance this past Wednesday.
Your help, suggestions, and input
arc vital in helping us help your
loved ones. Our residents and their
families arc always invited to par-
ticipate when it is time to update
their care plan. When you get an
invitation to attend these carepla^
meetings, please call and let n™

with us during these special ses-
sions. Your help is wanted and
needed.
Saturdays arc not dull here at
our home Nancy Eppcs secs to

piano up a storm. She can really
tickle that ivory. Our residents

days with Nancy. Thanks Nanc>#
Time for me to invite you to

forward to your visits.
