To celebrate National Volunteer Week, April 18-24, Banner Payson Medical Center had a âReverse Paradeâ event. Approximately 40 volunteers participated.
The event was a safe way to recognize BPMC volunteers for their dedication and service to patients and staff.
âBanner Payson Medical Center is proud of our 100+ volunteers,â said Jennifer Lawless, volunteer program coordinator and activities coordinator for the hospital.
âWe have greatly missed their presence, and are glad to see many of them recently able to return as COVID-19 cases continue to decline and vaccines become more available,â she said.
While the volunteers could not serve in many areas of the hospital, they continued to provide service. Here are some examples:
Carroll (Grange) Gene Granger, age 77, shed his earthly body and entered into Godâs eternal care on Feb. 22, 2021. He was the loving husband of Connie Jean Granger. Together they shared 53 years of marriage.
In addition to his wife Connie, Carroll is survived by his daughter Aimee (Granger) Radulski, her husband Walter Radulski, and their children Anna, Charlotte and Walter; his son Brian Granger, his wife Annie Granger, and their children Elana and Brody; and his son J.D. Granger, his wife Ashley Granger, and their daughter Elle. He is also survived by his sisters Cindy Zinn, husband Michael Zinn, and Sandy Little, and husband Stephen Little.
The Rainsville City Council is tackling beautification with plans to demolish unsafe buildings.
Councilman Rickey Byrum said there are 40-50 such structures throughout the town and it will take some time to clear them. He said it is important to prevent rodents that spread disease from inhabiting old structures belonging to absentee owners and areas overgrown with tress and tall grass. Following the passage of Resolution 02-18-2021(D), certified inspectors will test the unsafe buildings for asbestos and other banned materials so they can be safely burned.
âWeâve got to start somewhere,â Byrum said, proposing the resolution that passed unanimously.
