An inmate with a shattered heel and ankle passes the time reading a book, He is one of several inmates housed in a cell originally designed as a temporary holding cell. Individuals with physical or mental medical conditions can’t be mixed in with the general population because of the potential for injury, which the jail would be legally responsible for.

The Rockin’ A Arena hosted a rodeo March 16-17 to raise money for families fighting muscular dystrophy, the disease from which arena co-owner Joel Anderson’s son died last year. Chase, the son of Joel Anderson and Chloe Anderson-Lovelace, died of the disease at age 16, on February 12, 2011. All proceeds from the rodeo will be donated to the local MDA chapter. Columbia-based Outlaw Rodeo Productions, the contractor for the event, participates in over 50 rodeo and bullriding performances per year. Here are some images of the memorial rodeo.
“In closing, I want to tell you of the faithfulness that Chase displayed in his life, his faithfulness to a life that brought glory to God and not himself. Chase’s fruits have nourished the lives of others, including mine. I’m so thankful to have learned from a life that enjoyed the journey.”
I love you Chase,
MOM
