Fallen Duncan police officer to be inducted into national memorial
DUNCAN, S.C. (WSPA) – An officer with the Duncan Police Department who was killed in the line of duty 86 years ago will be inducted into the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial next week. On June 23, 1939, Officer Charlie Smith arrested and a drunk man, Duncan Police Chief Greg Satterfield said. Smith even told the man that once he sobered up, he'd get some dinner. 'What Officer Smith didn't know was that Mr. Moore had stowed a shotgun back behind the old coal storage building for the railroad,' explained Satterfield. 'So, he calls Charlie out. Charlie gets out of his patrol vehicle and meets him around the corner of that building where, Mr. Moore shot him in the in the leg.' Officer Smith died from the gunshot. Smith's granddaughter, Teresa Proctor, said that while she never got to meet her grandfather, stories of him have prevailed through the generations. She recalled stories her mother would share with her about her late grandfather. 'Oh, she really loved her father. Her mother died when she was three years old, so she was very close to her father and talked about what a good dad he was,' Proctor said. 'It's an honor that they're recognizing my grandfather after all these years.' Smith's family members, along with Chief Satterfield and police officers will attend the induction ceremony in Washington, D.C. on May 13. 'We always say 'Whether it's fallen first responders, fallen military, we will never forget.' Therefore, 86 years later, we never forgot Charlie Smith and got his name on the wall to give him the recognition that he deserved,' Satterfield remarked. The National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial is, according to their website, 'the nation's monument to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.' The ceremony takes place during National Police Week, from May 11 to May 17. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Like Spring, Asparagus Season Will Be Over Before You Know It
In Steven Satterfield's seasonal cookbook Root to Leaf, he writes 'As soon as daylight savings time begins, I start texting my produce guy. 'Have you seen any asparagus at the market yet?' I ask. 'No, maybe next week, still waiting.' Later that week, I prompt him again, 'Asparagus? Green garlic? Peas?'' Satterfield, the chef and owner of Miller Union in Atlanta, is not alone in his eager anticipation of asparagus, which might be the seasonal vegetable that most embodies the arrival of spring for many cooks. All winter, asparagus hides deep in the cold ground. The freezing temperatures help the plant slowly develop a sweet, grassy flavor and tender texture. As spring temperatures arrive and asparagus shoots finally emerge, they're not so different from many of us: pale, tired of winter, and eager to see the sun again. But this moment of spring doesn't last long. May is the peak of asparagus season for many parts of the country. If you're lucky to live close enough to a farmer's market to buy local asparagus in season, you'll be shocked by the difference. It is a complex but tender delicacy, subtle in some ways and bold in others. The asparagus available year-round in grocery stores simply doesn't compare. It can be bitter, woody, or simply not as flavorful as peak asparagus harvested in season. (MORE: Low Crawfish Prices Make For Plentiful Etouffee) Many chefs opt to prepare asparagus simply, roasting in the oven, shaving into slivers over a salad, or dropping it on the grill for a quick, smoky sear. It is also the ideal, bold ingredient for combining the spring bounty of a farmer's market trip into a large frittata. Made from fresh, local eggs, a big handful of herbs, asparagus, and a little cheese, it comes together quickly and keeps well in the refrigerator. A quiche with a crackling crust might be more elegant, but the simplicity of a frittata means that these ingredients shine. Farmer's Market Frittata 1 bunch asparagus 1 handful spring herbs, chives, pea shoots, tarragon or dill can work 6 eggs ½ cup goat cheese or other local soft cheese, crumbled Instructions Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss asparagus with olive oil and a pinch of salt and roast for ten to twelve minutes, until the stalks are no longer crisp but not yet soggy. Cool and chop into bite size pieces. Finely chop spring herbs. In a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, chopped herbs, and season generously with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Beat until fully combined. In a twelve-inch skillet over medium heat, add chopped asparagus and drizzle generously with olive oil. Pour egg mixture into the pan, cooking until the top is almost set, four or five minutes. Finish in the oven for three minutes or until the eggs are fully cooked. writer Wyatt Williams is exploring the relationship between weather, food, agriculture, and the natural world.

Apr. 3—WILKES-BARRE — The inaugural TechCelerator @ Luzerne County pitch showcase and celebration event was held at the THINK Center on Wednesday night. It was the culmination of a ten-week program, during which entrepreneurial ventures were developed by their creators. During the program, the entrepreneurs were tasked with developing every aspect of their business plan, from customer development and financials to legal considerations and goal planning. The resulting business pitches were, in turn, presented to a panel of three judges on Wednesday evening. The judges were Jeremy Satterfield, TechSpark Virginia at Microsoft; Jen Gilburg, Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development; and Kevin O'Boyle, Mericle Commercial Real Estate Services.

The judges then retired briefly to determine which of the pitches was most worthy of the $2,000 grand prize. "You did not make this decision easy for the three of us," Satterfield said to the entrepreneurs in contention. Satterfield did the honors of announcing the winner, which was BedRez, presented by James Monahan. The winnings were not limited, however, as each of the other presenters were awarded $500 for their efforts. "Each of you connected in a way with your personal stories, your attachement to what you want to do moving forward. All of the programming pieces are there. All seven of you guys are going to do wonderful."

First measles case found in Colorado
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) – Dr. Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, states, 'Measles is actually the most transmissible infectious disease that we know of. It's much more infectious than other infectious diseases that we see more commonly and have come to know over the last couple of years. So much more infectious than COVID-19, much more infectious than influenza.' On Monday, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment announced that the Centennial State has spotted its first measles case in Pueblo. Randy Evetts, public health director for Pueblo, states, 'The good news is that this individual has not traveled outside of Pueblo, and so we believe it is limited to Pueblo.' According to the CDPHE, the case comes from an unvaccinated Colorado adult who traveled to an area of Mexico experiencing an ongoing measles outbreak. Evetts says there are no other active cases so far, but there is high lookout for the sickness not to spread. But there are ways to prevent the spread if it were to hit Mesa County. Kathlen Satterfield, supervisor epidemiologist for Mesa County Public Health, states, 'So the best prevention for measles is the MMR vaccine. It's proven safe and effective. That stands for measles, mumps and rubella, and we have the MMR vaccine available at the Mesa County Public Health clinic here at the Community Services building.' Satterfield tells WesternSlopeNow if the cases were to hit the Western Slope, Mesa County of Public Health would make an announcement to the community. Satterfield and CDPHE officials say the vaccine is 97% effective and for parents with infant children that are under the age of five. But if you got your vaccine between 1963-67, it is recommended to get another dose, while those born before 1957 are immuned. Dr. Ned Calonge, chief medical officer for CDPHE, states 'Because measles is so infectious, we want to make sure that people get the care they need as early as they can, and we want to make sure that we protect anyone else from being exposed.' But if you were to be exposed, there is another way to make sure you don't have the sickness. 'If you go to your health care provider to be tested for measles, they will perform either a nasal swab or an oral swab and that swab will be sent to the state health department for further testing. But you can go to your provider for testing,' Satterfield said. Herlihy says it hasn't been confirmed yet, but it is a possibility that these measles cases are connected to the ones in New Mexico and Texas. CDPHE states people exposed to measles typically develop symptoms seven to 21 days after exposure. Symptoms include fever, cough, a runny nose, red eyes and a characteristic rash. Which usually starts several days later on the face and then spreads to the rest of the body. And the sickness can stay up to two hours in the air. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
