Make and Take:
Advanced Care Plan
(Living Will)
Wednesday, May 21
11:00 am
A presentation by Baptist
Hospital’s Eleanor Farber
J.D. LCSW advanced Care
Planner will be given at the
Town of Arlington Senior
Center on May 21st at 11:00
a.m.
Farber will be at the center
to assist anyone that would
like to create and finish a
living will, which is now
called an Advanced Care
Plan.
According to the Senior
Center, “many seniors do not
have a living will and are
sometimes slow in making
the decision to prepare one.
There are many factors that
can place seniors in a
situation where we may have
to take care of someone, or
where they themselves might
become incapacitated. An
advanced care plan lets
seniors make those decisions,
taking that burden away from
those they love..”
Ms. Farber will explain
the different parts of the
Advanced Care Plan and
guide participants step by
step in filling it out at no
charge. Participants will be
able to leave the center with a
vital part of their health care
planning completed.

Time
For the enemies of the
United States, those are the
last four words they want to
hear. However, for Marines
and supporters of the United
States Marine Corps in
northeast Shelby County,
those four words should be
music to their ears. About a
year ago, the Walter K. Singleton Marine Corps League,
Detachment 476 began holding their monthly meetings at
Highland Heights Presbyterian Church located at 2855
Morning Sun Road (near
Hwy 64). The detachment is
named in honor of Walter
Keith Singleton a United
States Marine Sergeant who
was born in Shelby County.
Sergeant Singleton was
killed in action in Vietnam in
1967 and was posthumously
awarded the Medal of Honor,
this nation’s highest military
honor, for his heroism during
the war.
The members of the detachment include veterans
from World War II, Korea,
Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq,
and Afghanistan. The detachment’s membership also
includes numerous recipients
of some of this nation’s
highest military awards,
medals and citations.
The detachment is actively involved in the Marine
Corps’ annual Toys for Tots
campaign and sponsors
scholarships for Marines and
the children of Marines. The
members also participate in
numerous other activities and
events that serve and honor
our country’s veterans and
their families.
The detachment meets the
third Tuesday of each month
at 1900hrs (7:00pm civilian
time). If you are interested
in joining or supporting the
detachment, please contact
the detachment’s Commandant, Al DeWitt at 901-6524 8 5 8

Miss Meta Marley taught
music in Arlington in the
early 1900s. She played
piano, even in her later
years after she lost her
hearing. Miss Marley did
not marry and lived in
her family home on
Chester Street. The
closeup of Miss Marley is
from a photograph of her
music class in ca. 1910.
The class picture (with
the names of the students in the class) is part
of the “Music in Arlington” exhibit at the Rachel
H. K. Burrow Museum on
May 17.
