On the morning of August 12th the inspirational group, Team Impact, which travels throughout the country demonstrating great feats of strength put on a demonstration of just what they do by twisting steel beams and dislodging a soda can’s contents under tremendous pressure by squeezing until the lid popped open.
Two members of a five-member team were here to show off their talents and share a message about Christ and what he did for them and how they could come to know him as well.
I had the privilege of introducing the group to the audience. Everyone who attended the program enjoyed it very much.

Ms. Jeanie and Ms. Juanita were just two of a group of over one hundred participants who traveled by plane from Alabama to Lincoln Nebraska, where they were among 2800 other participants from 47 states in USA national competition.
Ms Jeanie won two bronze medals and one silver in track and field competition. Ms. Juanita won 2 silver and a 5th place ribbon in the same competition. The competitions lasted an entire week and needless to say, the athletes really had a time to remember. For some, it was their first time on a plane.
The participants left from various points in the state on Saturday July 17th with some leaving as early as 6:00am and landed several hours later, where they were met by their coaches and other support staff who made sure they had a good time. The planes were Cessna citation aircraft that flew the athletes to and from Duncan Aviation, Lincoln, Nebraska. The athletes went for an entire week from July 18th through the 24th. Hopefully we might have a representative for 2011
Needless to say, this isn’t the first time Vivian B. Adams school has ever had a representative either national or international competition. Adams school prides itself on athletics, and we have a great coach to thank for such efforts as well as a wonderful support staff that graciously helps to make it all happen, but it’s the athletes who get all the credit for their work and dedication toward their ultimate goal.
Anyone who has ever attended a Special Olympic ceremony may have heard the athletes all take an oath which outlines the true meaning of sportsmanship: Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.

These scouts each worked hard and cooked their own supper meals and a desert with the close supervision of adult leaders.

Wendell has been a regular fixture in Vivian B. Adams School’s Burkett Work Center since the late 1980s; he has been involved with our adult life and education program since then.
Every day individuals face difficulties of varying nature such as social, medical, and intellectual challenges; however, there are those who choose not to let these issues become barriers or obstacles to an independent lifestyle. Instead, they choose to overcome them by receiving special services and being trained and educated to be like others individuals, who don’t have such challenges.
Wendell enjoys living on his own; he has his own apartment, and receives assistance with transportation and related services through case management.
Wendell also enjoys community life such as attending church and going to a movie at the theater; he also enjoys an occasional get together with neighbors and friends. Wendell enjoys the job he does here; he performs tasks such as weighing production of recycled newspaper and keeps records of inventory of wood products and shop production. Wendell has also aided in the effort to give the Burkett Workforce Training building a much-needed paint job.
Wendell’s ambition is to one day work in the community; he hopes to take the skills he has learned from this facility to the community workforce. One of the basic human and legal rights that citizens with disabilities have is to live, work and associate with our community members and this is just what Wendell is doing. Wendell is just one of those who chooses to refuse to lose to his disabilities; instead, he met the challenge of overcoming his intellectual and medical issues thanks to the kind staff here at the Vivian B. Adams School and the Burkett Work Center. Up Close and Personal
- Wendell
