Poland To Pensacola Bike Ride Hits North Escambia

June 2, 2012

In 2008, Chuck Campbell’s wife Carol spent her final days under hospice care Ohio. And Friday he crossed the Florida state line in Century just ahead of a finish for a 1,000 mile bike ride in memory of his late wife — from Poland, Ohio to Pensacola Beach — to benefit Covenant Hospital in both Ohio and Pensacola.

Chuck and is daughter, who lives in the Pensacola area, were impressed with hospice and began to volunteer. And then came the idea for the bike ride.

He pedaled out of Poland, Ohio, on May 3 with plans to arrive in Pensacola on Memorial day, but weather caused a few delays along the way.

Chuck has had a stowaway on his trip…a young “Flat Stanley”.  Along the entire trip, he’s carried along a drawing of the popular traveling book character. This particular Flat Stanley was first mailed to Ohio by Jordan Stranec, a first grade student at S.S. Dixon Primary School in Pace.  Flat Stanley hitched a ride back to Florida with Chuck.  Due to weather delays in the trip, his plans to visit Mrs. Grant’s first graders at S.S. Dixon were ruined due to the end of school.

Pictured: Chuck Campbell crossed the Florida state line in Century Friday morning as he nears the end of a 1,000 mile bike ride from Poland, Ohio, to Pensacola Beach.  Accompanying Campbell (seen in his hand) is the popular children’s character Flat Stanley.

Photo Gallery: Atmore Area Memorial Day Service

May 29, 2012

About 200 people gathered in Atmore Monday morning for a Memorial Day service to recognize those that have served from Atmore, Walnut Hill, Bratt and surrounding areas.

“We need to put the ‘memorial’ back in ‘Memorial Day’,” keynote speaker Brigadier General (Ret.) Wendell B. McLain said. “Let’s not let this day be merely the first day of summer, let’s make it a time for reflection and to express gratitude.”

McClain said veterans are often taken for granted, especially those from the post-September 11th era. “There are so many heroes, many so young,” he said.

Members of American Legion Post 90 and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7016 took part in a solemn ceremony, reading aloud the names of each deceased service member that appear on a spire-shaped monument. A bell was tolled in honor of those that served.

The names memorialized included LCpl Travis Nelson of Bratt, killed in a action in August 2011 in  Helmand Province, Afghanistan, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. It was just two weeks after his 19th birthday and only about a month after he arrived in Afghanistan.
