T he Thin Blue Line became noticeably thinner on April 2 2011 with the

death of Sergeant Tim Chapin a twenty-seven year veteran of the Chattanooga Police Department Sergeant Chapin was shot and killed by a known criminal dur-ing the commission of a pawn shop robbery in the Brainerd area With his death a small part of every officer out there died Not only does his family now grieve but also his friends neighbors and colleagues in the law en-forcement community The outpouring of support for Timrsquos family and for the entire police community has been displayed countless times on billboards business signs homemade placards and flowers placed at the scene of the tragedy itself Chattanooga and Hamilton County lost one of their heroes on that spring day in April 2011 Another fitting tribute to one of

Chattanoogarsquos finest found its voice in the hundreds of uni-formed officers who walked ap-proximately one mile from the church to Timrsquos final resting place All along the route citi-zens stood silent many in tears out of respect respect for not only Sergeant Chapin but also in solidarity with the men and women who represent The Thin Blue Line Sergeant Chapin knew the reali-

ty of the job he was sworn to up-hold and he understood the great sacrifice others had en-dured before him Still he was willing to take the risk to pre-serve the freedoms the citizens of our city county state and coun-try hold so dearly He died protecting those rights The accused will have his day in court and justice will prevail - make no mistake about it Our dedicated men and women in

blue have returned to the streets taking their ordained stand between good and evil protecting the innocent seeking out the guilty and guarding the integrity of The Thin Blue Line Timrsquos family will grieve a wife for her husband a daughter and son for their dad a mother and father for their boy siblings for their brother and a city for one of its heroes

Mental health and the jail

the jail was not made to be a

mental hospital Yet as state

budget cuts occur and local

mental health facilities loose

treatment options the jail be-

comes a net catching the

mentally ill

Meanwhile the number of

mentally ill patients and jail

populations continue to rise

Jail Counselor Chuck Court-

wright 31-year HCSO employ-

ee Kevin Matthews and jail

Chaplain Bill Kizziar meet

with inmates on a daily basis

to discuss life issues and diffi-

culties inmates are having in

the jail as well as how to avoid

criminal behaviors on the

street

News Channel 9 recently took

a tour of the Jail Clinic to ob-

serve where and how inmates

receive mental care They dis-

covered that medical decisions

are left to the Erlanger staff

and not to correction offic-

ers Currently the jail clinic

has eight Erlanger employees

They also found that Hamilton

County pays a combined

$690000 annually for

medical services inside

the jail

Twenty percent of the

monthly clinic budget is

taken up by mental health

prescriptions This is a

growing burden on county

government HCSO ad-

ministration correction

costs

According to Mayor Jim

Coppinger county govern-

three million dollars a year to

provide health care for county

the jail - to include hospital

Summer is coming and that means SNAKES Officers may run across them any-where sometimes in the ille-gal possession of a citizen Here are tips that will help you and others Keep the bite area below the heart Do not apply a tourniquet if you restrict the flow of ven-om into a small area then you will suffer greater tissue damage to the bite area Do not give the victim aspi-rin it will thin the blood and cause the venom to spread more than it normally would The same applies for giving the victim alcohol Do not try to capture the snake Anti venom is the same for all Tennessee snakes so capturing is a fu-tile attempt and only height-ens the chances of a second snakebite victim The telltale signs of venom-ous snakebites are swelling and an intense burning sen-sation of the bite area Do not try to suck out the venom By cutting the bite area you suffer a greater

chance of dying from blood poisoning than from the bite itself Do not apply ice to the bite area The most severe prob-lem with snakebites is tissue damage The application of ice greatly increases the chances of amputation of the limb containing the bite area

The most recent snakebite remedy involved the applica-tion of high voltage DC cur-rent to the bite area Snake venom carries 7 different chemicals that have yet to be identified and some people reported the application of high voltage DC current seemed to deactivate the ven-om In reality more people died from applying high voltage AC current instead of DC current than people who just went to the doctor In simple words of advice Just calmly go to the Doctor Most of the time anti venom will not even be adminis-tered They will more than likely just monitor your blood pressure and the swelling and then send you home in the morning If you happen to have a pet snake and are thinking of becoming a herpetologist who handles hot snakes (venomous) then the best thing that you can do is to buy the most aggressive non- venomous snake and each time you are bitten by it write down a note and affix it to the snakersquos cage stating I could be dead right now At

the end of the year evaluate whether you really want a hot snake In Tennessee it is illegal to harm kill remove from the wild or possess native snakes taken from the wild without the proper permits Lt Jimmy D Wildes Sr (Master Tracker)

Serving as a reserve officer and chaplain causes me to stop and really look at my life As I think about this new journey for me I never thought Id be doing this In fact it is WAAAAAY outside my comfort zone I think part of this journey is God teaching me how to make a difference in our community and to encourage and support officers who do so much to serve others with very little thanks

As a child I watched my par-ents invest in the lives of other people by building rela-tionships I also watched them just love others the way Jesus loved when He was here and how that impacted their lives When my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer I

watched so many of the people with whom my parents had built relationships surround and support them in so many ways cleaning the house making meals doing laundry taking mom to appointments being there just to sit during chemo helping build a ramp to help her get from the car to the house easier and helping her finish her bucket list We even had a house full of people with us as we said goodbye the last day of her life We all laughed re-membering things about mom We

also sang and cried together as she took her final breaths Then I remember mothers funeral There were well over a thousand people standing room only all people who had been touched by my parents in some way or anoth-er celebrating my moms life WOW Remembering that we did-nt have to do all that alone truly

helped me see first hand the blessing of build-ing relationships It wasnt until my motherrsquos battle with cancer that I truly understood the benefits of living outside of yourself Thats what life is about helping change other peoples lives by acts of kindness and selflessness and having each otherrsquos back I encourage each of us to look at how we choose to live every day with our spouses children parents siblings friends and coworkers If its for ourselves I think well be disappointed Ecclesiastes 4910 and 12 says Two people are better off than one for they can help each other
