The May 11, 2009 Program at the Newport Rotary Club was provided by Sgt. Tim Askew of the North Carolina Highway Patrol. Sgt Askew is the son of our own retired State Highway Patrolman, Jack Askew.
Sgt. Askew works two job functions with the Patrol. He teaches at the SHP Training Academy and also works the road with Motor Carrier Enforcement. Sgt. Askew described his special training that makes him one of the state's experts on Motor Carrier Enforcement, specified what trucks fell within his jurisdiction under federal law, and described some of the special perils that "Big Rigs" bring.
The meal was Subway sandwiches. Extended Happy Dollars were given by Dick Newton on behalf of his son who leads a very impressive ministry of social programs in Indiana, and Bevin Wall who told about the Group Study Exchange (GSE) Night in Jacksonville, and thanks Jim & Marilyn Everett and his wife Pam for their attendance. PDG Derryl Garner thanked the Newport community for their great sense of civic involvement.
The picture to the right shows proud Papa Jack & his son, Sgt. Tim.
