EGG- stravaganza

Easter event has kids searching for goodies BY BRUCE MILLS [email protected]

Hundreds of children from the surrounding region descended on Swan Lake-Iris Gardens on Saturday morning with their Easter baskets in hand for Sumter County Recreation Depart- ment’s annual Easter Egg Hunt. The kids brought their parents and families along, too, and with plenty of sunshine, fields full of colorful eggs — and a special appearance by the Eas- ter Bunny — a good time was had by all, according to many in attendance. Wen Wen Zhu brought her 3 year-old son, Quiqiu Chen, and his grandparents from Co- lumbia for Saturday’s festivities. After Quiqiu picked up a few eggs and put them in his Easter basket — with his grandfather in tow taking photos with his smart phone — his mother spoke. “He’s having a good time,” Zhu said. “We wanted to come and visit Swan Lake, and his grandparents wanted to come also.” Fellow 3-year-old, Sara-Londyn Richburg of Manning was also at the festivities with her parents. Her mom, Shannon Richburg, said it was Sara-Londyn’s first big hunt. For 5-year-old Tamia Collins, it was her first- ever Easter egg hunt, according to her mother, LaSorsha Collins. Collins, an airman at Shaw Air Force Base, had just told Tamia they were BRUCE MILLS / THE SUMTER ITEM A toddler picks up her first Easter egg at the beginning of Saturday’s Sumter County Recreation Department’s annual Easter SEE EGG, PAGE A13 Egg Hunt at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens.

Quiet rooms for autistic youth added to airports BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

uiet rooms for children on the autism Qspectrum are pop- ping up at airports.

Shannon Airport, which serves the southwestern region of Ireland, opened a "sensory room" for children and adults with neurodevelopmen- tal challenges, including autism, on March 29. The room is located off the airport's de- parture lounge. It's designed to be a soothing place, with features like a wavy wall and col- or-changing lights. The official opening of the room came ahead of World Autism Day on April 2. On this side of the Atlantic, there are quiet rooms at airports in Myrtle Beach and in Atlanta. Delta opened a multisensory room at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in April 2016 in partnership with The Arc, an autism advo- cacy group.

Turner said some of the maintenance work involves clearing trees that were blown down by Hurricane Matthew and creating alternative paths to avoid flooded area. It took a day and a half to clear about 50 trees that had fallen on one portion of the trail, he said. And, telephone poles that have been split in half are sometimes used to create a clear passage over water, he said. Turner said he cleaned up about 5 miles of the trail on Thursday and planned to be done with the heavy work at Poinsett by Friday evening. Next he plans to complete smaller tasks, such as putting up trail markers. Since he started maintaining the trail, Turner has cleared approximately 18 miles of overgrown brush and trees between in Sumter and Clarendon, and has ridden about 42 miles searching for obstructive debris.

The story of Redmond’s exploits and her escape from the Japanese on the Bataan Peninsula and at Corregidor was published in The Sumter Daily Item. A portion of the text is reprinted below with a degree of edit- ing because of its length.

Those who had the idea that the Japanese were poor fighters soon learned that they were sadly mistaken. Their bombing of objectives at Bataan and Corregidor was accurate and unrelenting, and their conquest of the Philippines was the result of careful strategy.” The scheduled bond sale, highlighting Lt. Redmond at Edens grocery, proved very successful and doubled their projected goal of $100,000 by raising more than $200,000 in a short span of time. It was reported in The New York Times, March 1, 1979, that Lt. Col. Juanita Redmond Hipps, “former army nurse who served on Bataan and Corregidor died at age 66. She was the author of a bestseller in 1943, ‘I Served On Bataan,’ which served as the background for the war movie ‘So Proudly We Hail,’ the story of Army nurses.” According to the New York Times, “She was among the first nurses to earn her golden flight wings and helped establish the flight nurse program in the Air Corps.
