Grace of Giving: Friends of Hospice eases final days for uninsured
James Holland had a terrible decision to make. The 63-year-old could receive radiation treatment for cancer that had spread from his lungs to his brain, and perhaps live another four months. "But it wouldn't be a good four months," said his sister, Jacqualyn Watson. Or he could go home to die in perhaps two months, but without the strain of further treatment. Holland, a retired heating and air conditioning technician, chose to receive hospice, or end-of-life care, at home. But he had no insurance to pay for it. Yet the day he returned home, a nurse showed up. She talked with him and gauged his needs, entering it all into a laptop computer. The next day, Sept. 19, a hospital bed and wheelchair arrived. .

Bradley County Churches Get Extra Protection Due To Thefts
Sheriff Tim Gobble has placed rural Bradley County churches on "extra patrol" after recent thefts of outside heating/air conditioning units in the area.
The order means patrol deputies will make regular checks of those located in the patrol zone they are covering.
In recent weeks there have been thefts from at least six churches in Bradley and surrounding counties. Inside the units the thieves are able to extract copper tubing they can sell as scrap metal. Each theft brings a loss of at least $1,000, and in some cases the value of the unit is in the thousands of dollars.
Sheriff Gobble is asking the public to be on the lookout for suspicious activity and to not hesitate to call 9-1-1 if you see something out of the ordinary, especially on days and at times when services are not held.
