Paul Bewie Boys and Girls Club delivery room

Sonya Eisenhauer and Amanda Sarver at last month's POA meeting.

Last month Amanda Sarver joined Sonya Eisenhauer and George Foshee to talk about the need for a millage increase benefiting the Jessieville School district at the September 1 POA board meeting.
We know what she was doing on the first day of the month, now we know what she was doing on the last day of the month. Sarver went into labor at Jessieville Elementary School on September 30. Fellow employee and friend, Katie Moore drove Sarver to the Paul Bewie Boys and Girls Club on Highway 7 to meet Sarver's husband Nicholas in the parking lot so he could drive her to Hot Springs to the hospital.
Jessieville Elementary School principal Terry Crumpler followed Moore and Sarver to the Boys and Girls Club to give Moore a lift back to school. Sarver didn't make it any further than the Boys and Girls Club. Holland Suzanne, seven-pounds, four ounces, was ready to be born.
When it became apparent Sarver wasn't going to make it any farther, Crumpler called 911. The nearest ambulance was in Hot Springs, all three Village ambulances were already in service. It would be a half hour before help would arrive.
Boys and Girls Club staff cleared students from the facility library. Sarver's husband arrived on the scene in time to assist with the delivery.
The 911 dispatcher gave directions to Crumpler for the delivery and tying off the umbilical cord with a shoestring. Crumpler relayed instructions to Moore and Nicholas Sarver. Baby Holland was delivered by family and friends. She and mom are fine.
Sarver said both of her previous labors were fast but nothing compares to Holland's birth. Holland joins older brother Cooper, four years, and older sister Lili, 22 months.
