County COURTHOUSE CARE EMS cheers 40 years By JOYCE MAY

Four decades ago, a Georgetown funeral home, following a growing trend across rural America, decided that it was no longer profitable to provide ambulance services to the city. That pushed the county in 1975 to partner with the cities of George- town, Round Rock, Taylor, Cedar Park and Florence to create a system to handle the ever-growing need for pre-hospital care. Thus Williamson County Emer- gency Medical Services was born. The award-winning EMS system this month marks 40 years serving the community. At their first meeting of 2015, county commissioners on Tuesday recognized the department, which has cared for more than 500,000 patients since its creation. To celebrate the occasion, staff members selected a logo design that is now worn on their lapels and af- fixed to all ambulances. A more formal anniversary will likely be part of the department’s May awards ceremony, said Kenny Schnell, EMS director since 2008. “The men and women of EMS are truly the legacy and really dedi- cate their lives to providing compas- Andy Sharp sionate care to the community,” Mr. Schnell said. “Those are truly the ones who Repointing work begins deserve recognition day in and day out.” Javier Bishop, with BETCO Scaffolds of San Antonio, helps erect scaffolding Tuesday outside the county courthouse as the months-long “repointing” Dispatchers, first responders such process begins on the building.

EAST VIEW SOCCER Coaching legend signs on with Pats

By STEVE GLENN

Jim Donahue, a longtime George- town resident, retired from coaching in 2013 after an illustrious 30-year career at Austin Westwood. He won more than 600 games and 25 district championships with the War- riors and received many individual honors, including the state’s coach of the year award. In November, he was inducted into the Texas Association of Soccer Coaches Hall of Honor. He has taken over as head coach of the Lady Patriots and will coach the team as it heads into its first year in the new District 25-5A, which is shaping up to be one of the best align- ments in the state. Although Donahue is highly recognized by his peers, you would never know it by his demeanor. The soft-spoken coach would rather talk about his players. “It’s all about the players,” he said. Laughingly, Donahue remarked that he has never kicked a goal or blocked a shot — all true. However, he has coached many soccer players who have done that and more.
