ing the day in or near the water, or just relaxing with family and friends, a few sim-ple safety tips can keep the celebration going and keep you out of the emergencydepartment,” said Paul Kivela, MD, MBA, FACEP, president of the AmericanCollege of Emergency Physicians. More than 11,100 people went to the emergency room with injuries from fire-works in 2016, according to the most recent data available from the ConsumerProduct Safety Commission. Children younger than 15 years of age accounted for31 percent of the estimated 2016 injuries. And, 69 percent of the emergency depart-ment-treated injuries were burns. Emergency physicians strongly encourage people to leave fireworks to the pro-fessionals. If fireworks are legal in your area, ACEP strongly urges you to avoidusing them near residential areas. Children should never play with fireworks orsparklers and older children should always be supervised. If you are drinking alco-hol, please do not handle fireworks or supervise others who may rely on you if anemergency occurs. Some additional firework safety tips: •Avoid purchasing or using illegal fireworks. Do not attempt to make your own. •Read warning labels and follow all instructions. Do not use fireworks in anyway other than suggested on the label. •Keep a bucket of water or fire extinguisher on hand. •Light fireworks one at a time. •Dispose of all fireworks properly. Soak them all in water before throwing themaway. •Do not light fireworks indoors or near other objects. •Avoid burns or other accidents by not standing or crouching over fireworkswhen trying to light the fuse. Immediately back up to a safe distance after you lightit. •Do not point or throw fireworks at another person.

The nation’s emer-gency physicians urgethose celebratingIndependence Day toexercise good judgementand to be mindful ofpotential dangers, espe-cially from accidents withfireworks. “Whether you aregrilling, camping, spend-

•Do not re-light a malfunctioning “dud” or pick up fireworks that have not ignit-ed fully. •Dress appropriately. Loose fitting clothes could be a fire hazard or become tan-gled or caught. •Setting off fireworks in glass or metal containers can create fragments that cancause severe injury. For those celebrating outside, it is important to monitor your fluid intake, espe-cially in warm weather. Limit the likelihood of dehydration by drinking plenty ofwater. Young children and senior citizens are especially vulnerable to heat-relatedillness, and risks increase with exertion. Apply (and re-apply) sunscreen when par-ticipating in outdoor activities. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to avoidable accidents and could putyour friends and loved ones at risk, too. Don’t drink and drive! Arrange for a des-ignated driver in advance whenever possible. It is important to remain aware thatalcohol accelerates the effects of heat-related illness. Nobody wants a stomach issue to ruin a picnic or to cut the celebration short.Refrigerate any food that needs to be kept cold. Food poisoning can occur in as littleas one hour when temperatures are over 90 F. Foods that need to be kept coldshould be placed in a cooler or on ice to maintain a temperature of 40 F. If you or aloved one has a food allergy, it may be appropriate to carry medication and be pre-pared with an action plan in the event of an allergic reaction. Heading to the pool, lake or other water activity? For swimmers, always try tohave a lifeguard or chaperone keeping an eye on children. For boaters, review safeboating laws and procedures, and make sure you have a current license and updatedsafety equipment and life jackets on board before heading out. If you plan to cook on a grill, whether you are a novice or an expert, be mindfulof risks involved with open fires or gas lines. Keep the family football games orother recreational activities a reasonable distance away from the flames. Hikers and campers, protect yourself with appropriate gear and insect repellent.If you are hiking in a remote location, alert family or friends of your departure timeand approximate route.

I am the flag of the United States of America.My name is Old Glory.I fly atop the world’s tallest buildings.I stand watch in America’s halls of justice.I fly majestically over institutions of learning.I stand guard with power in the world.Look up and see me.

I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.I stand for freedom. I am confident.I am arrogant. I am proud.When I am flown with my fellow banners,My head is a little higher,My colors a little truer. I bow to no one!I am recognized all over the world. I am worshiped - I am saluted.I am loved - I am revered.I am respected - I am feared.

I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years. I wasflown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appomattox.I was there at San Juan Hill, the trenches of France, in the ArgonneForest, Anzio, Rome and the beaches of Normandy.Guam, Okinawa, Korea and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam know me.I was there. I led my troops.I was dirty, battleworn and tired,But my solders cheered me and I was proud.

I have been burned, torn and trampled in the streets of countries I havehelped set free.It does not hurt for I am invincible.I have been soiled upon, burned, torn and trampled in the streets of mycountry.And when it’s done by those whom I’ve served in battle - it hurts.But I shall overcome - for I am strong.I have slipped the bonds of Earth and stood watch over the unchartedfrontiers of space from my vantage point on the moon.I have borne silent witness to all America’s finest hours.But my finest hours are yet to come.When I am torn into strips and used as bandages for my wounded com-rades on the battlefield, when I am flown at half-mast to honor my sol-dier, or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the graveof their fallen son or daughter,

I am proud.I am the flag of the United States of America.

Benbrook Hawks 10U-A Team Takes First Place at USSSA World SeriesTournament by Coach Mike Bentley

The Benbrook Hawks 10U baseball team, fresh off a tournament win atthe Granbury All-Star Classic, competed in the USSSA “A” World Series lastweek. It was a five-day event hosting teams from Texas and neighboringstates that took place in Cedar Hill.

After a loss in their first of three pool play games, the Hawks chargedback to win the next two games by a combined score of 41-1, earning thenumber three seed for bracket play. The hit parade was led by Zach Walker,who had help from all of his teammates, including big hits from Kyle Owenand Pierce Battle. As if the live bats weren’t enough, key defensive plays byKeaton Hennessey and Jax Parr helped secure the victories. In bracket play, the Hawks kept rolling. The Hawks won their first twogames with smart base running and timely hitting off the bats of GregoryTarpley and Jacob Carpenter, landing them in the semi-finals.

After losing in the semi-finals and mustering just one run in the game, theHawks caught fire again. With one loss in the double-elimination contest, thehawks won their next game 18-5. This victory put them in the finals with achance to avenge an earlier loss, only they would have to beat their opponenttwice. The Hawks took the first game with a score of 12-3 behind a soliddefensive team effort, including a strong catching performance by MaxTarpley. The hits kept coming as well, capped by a two-out double hit downthe left-field line by the team’s only female player, Camryn Bentley.

Needing another victory, the Hawks did not let up. A shut-down perform-ance by pitcher Parker Mix, coupled with the unyielding bats of the Hawksfrom players like Nathaniel Cortez, who had multiple extra-base hits in thegame, put the Hawks in a great position to win. In the bottom of the third

Fort Worth Chapter Compassionate Friends Holds Annual ButterflyRelease by Denise Honeycutt

Charles and Genie Dean prepare to handoutthe envelopes.

The Fort Worth Chapter of CompassionateFriends recently held their annual butterfly release

at Arborlawn Methodist Church.

This release is an acknowledgement of a lifelived, the passing and celebration of a grander,most exquisite life to come. It is an expression bysight of what our soul feels, and the emotions weride on the beating wings of an equally speechlessbutterfly. Observation of their flight gives thosepart of a connection and special understanding ofthe event that has taken place.

For those who are newly bereaved, they inviteyou to join them. This is a self-help organizationof parents, grandparents and adult siblings whohave experienced the death of a loved one. Theyoffer understanding and support through monthlymeetings, a lending library, support materials andloving telephone listeners.

The Chapter encourages those interested but

perhaps hesitant not be afraid to come to a gather-ing. Every person in the group has lost a child,grandchild or sibling. They come because theyfeel the need to be with someone else who under-stands.

It takes courage to attend that first meeting,but those who do come find an atmosphere ofunderstanding from others who have experiencedthe grief you have now.

Nothing is asked of you. They are nondenom-inational, no dues or fees are involved and you donot have to speak. There is a special feeling atmeetings of The Compassionate Friends.

The group meets every second Tuesday ofevery month at Arborlawn Methodist Church,located at 5001 Briarhaven Road in Fort Worth.

The Benbrook girls basketball team finished thirdin district 9-4A this past season and won a playoffgame, and coach Leta Lofton described junior AshantiHunter as one of two players who served as the “glue”of the Lady Cats' team. Lofton said Hunter had an excellent 2018-19 sea-son, and said she was especially impressed with howHunter progressed. “She became the leader we hoped she would be,”

Lofton said. “Her focus is on point. She knows whereshe wants to go, and is making plans to get there. Shereally was difficult for our opponents to defend. “Shealong with Josie Ishmael put the team on their shoul-ders and led us to our very first bi-district champi-onship. It was inspiring to watch them work hard inpractice day in and day out. Both were prime examplesof what a leader should be.” Hunter scored 14 points in an area round loss toAubrey, and Lofton said her point guard is determinedto help Benbrook get even further in the post-season in2020. “She is attending Elite Camps, strength and condi-tioning camps, skill work, etc.,” Lofton said. “She isdoing all she can do to get back to where we left offand lead us to a state championship. Once again we arelooking to bring a tenacious season to our opponentsthrough her leadership.” Hunter was the first player from Benbrook to everreceive all-region honors and was selected as theOffensive Player of the Year in district 9-4A.

The Western Hills boy's soccer team won a bi-dis-trict championship in 2018-19, and midfielder JudeCollins was a big part of the reason why. A first team all-district and honorable mention all-state selection this past season, Collins was a majorpart of the Cougars' offense. “Jude was the center of our midfield plan,” coachMatt Collins, Jude's father, said. “He was our primaryball winner and distributor. He was very dangerous onfree kicks and set pieces.” Jude said he was pleased with how the 2018-19season unfolded, and said he thinks his team is capableof picking up where it left off next year. “This past season was a very productive one,” Judesaid. “A lot of the players found the positions theywere best at and stuck with them throughout, gainingmore and more experience for the following season.Personally, I felt I had a decent season.”

best and for the Lady Cats to win a district champi-onship, and said doing so might be a bit more challeng-ing next season. “For Benbrook to capture a spot in the playoffsnext year will take more intensity that what he had thislast year,” Hunter said. “All eyes are on us. We had ayoung team last year and a lot of people doubted us.We did our job and proved them wrong, but we cameup short. We experienced the pain, and I don't thinkany of my teammates want to experience that again, sowe have no choice but to do our best on the court.” Lofton said she anticipates another strong seasonfrom Hunter next year and said she will continue torely on her for leadership. “I take comfort in knowing that she is doing every-thing and more this summer to improve her all aroundgame, offensively and defensively,” Lofton said. “Can’t wait to see the excitement she will bring forthe 2019-2020 season.” Hunter's Favorites Favorite Athlete: LeBron James Favorite Sports Team: Los Angeles Lakers Favorite Food: shrimp alfredo pasta Favorite Movie: Forrest Gump Favorite TV Show: The Vampire Diaries Last Book Read: “What Difference Do It Make?” Favorite Musical Group or Performer: RyloRodriguez or Lil Baby

Jude finished the year with seven goals and eightassists and said if his team wants to continue the suc-cess it enjoyed last season, it will take a couple ofthings. “The upcoming season is all about trusting eachother,” Jude said. “We are very young. Due to this fact,some people might doubt us as a team because wemight be inexperienced. I believe that it is the opposite.Personally, I would like to be a good leader for theteam. That is probably the biggest thing for me thisyear.” Jude said he has faced some challenges in hiscareer, and particularly earlier in high school. “It has been tough at times playing varsity soccerat a young age,” Collins said. “It was tough as a 14year old freshman to always know what to do. It tooka bit to adjust working with my dad as head coach myfreshman year, but my sophomore year was a lot bet-ter.” Jude said to earn a post-season berth in 2019-20, itwill take three things. “I think the biggest thing is to constantly gainpoints, whether that is tying a team or winning,” Judesaid. “Whichever happens, points are important.Another thing is trusting each other and trusting coachCollins throughout the season.”
