Honorary police officer gift for Samuel Hendrick in Tazewell
Samuel Joseph Hendrick, 14, who has Alexander disease, was made an honorary policeman by the town of Tazewell as a Christmas gift. His mother, Stephanie Hendrick, said the event honored Samuel though he cannot shop with a cop due to ventilator support and the disease’s impact on his white brain matter. The effort was organized with help from Cpl. Benjamin Leighton and others, aiming to include Samuel in the community event.

Mercer County Bible in the Schools program faces review after lawsuit
Mercer County Schools terminated all Bible in the Schools teachers and the board suspended the program for at least a year to allow a thorough review. Federal Judge David A. Faber dismissed the suit in November citing the suspension, while leaving open a possible injunction if reinstated and found unconstitutional. Deal and Roe had challenged the program claiming harm and harassment. The Freedom From Religion Foundation criticized the ruling, noting Deal moved Jessica Roe to avoid divisiveness. Superintendent Deborah Akers offered no comment on an appeal.
