Indian Valley Record
Pastor Kerr shares special moments with community members
after the service. Community choir director Marsha Roby has
worked with him on several community-wide observances for
Thanksgiving, Easter and baccalaureates. Pastors Charley Blom
and Fred Kerr talk about the future, which, for the Kerrs, is
unplanned. Kerr smiles about that uncertainty, seeming not
uncomfortable at all. For now he and his wife will stay in the
parsonage. Photos by Alicia Knadler
KERR, from page 1A
given special honor, because
she has worked alongside and
behind her husband all these
years, providing her own
ministry in Sunday school
and myriad other ways.
Assembly of God pastors
prayed over how they might
honor this woman of God,
and Christensen was inspired
to write the following
poem, presented in a special
frame:
The Pastor's Wife
Loving and serving
both great and small,
The pastor's wife gives her all.
Like Jesus her Master,
She is meek and mild,
And clings to faith
With the heart of a child.
She willingly shares
her husband's life,
For she cherishes her role
as the pastor's wife.
Though not displayed
For all to see,
She quietly fulfills
her ministry.
She comforts, she teaches
she gives all her life
Her radiance shines;
she's the pastor's wife.
Genesee Home Pastor
Charlie Blom also honored
the Kerrs, speaking about the
unique roles of pastors in the
community, and how they all
come into the community
with knowledge only of the
Lord.
He read from and based his
message on 1 Corinthians 2,
Paul's reliance on the Spirit.
Kerr's longevity here in
Indian Valley and the re-
lationships he has made
possible were commented
upon by Blom and Pastor
Youngrae Kim of the Feather
River Cooperative Parish
United Methodist churches
in Chester, Greenville and
Taylorsville.
"We are all called to min-
istry, all to carry on the torch
he and Barbara brought us as
a community," Norton said
in his closing comments.
"Let's carry it with us every-
where."
Even the cakes offer sweet appreciation for Pastor Kerr and
his wife, Barbara, who were both feted with love from
the community they have served so lovingly and faithfully.
Evergreen Market donated cakes, and Village Drug donated
program flyers.

just fluctuate wildly," he
added.
"I can have an inmate in
the next 20 minfites fall and
break a leg. There's a $10,000
medical bill that we hadn't
anticipated. So what's the
cost of that inmate per year?
That just went up a whole
bunch.
"We have injuries, we
have assaults, we have people
with pre-existing conditions.
And we are responsible for
addressing and maintaining
their health."
Health care costs
County Public Health
Director Mimi Hall addressed
the impact inmates witl
have on the county's health
care system after they
are released.
"It's really not rocket
science," Hall said. "Pretty
darn soon there will be an ex-
panded population of people
eligible for CMSP (County
Medical Services Program),
because of the changes in
how we are handling the
criminal justice system,"
Hall said she has met
with hospital officials in the
county about the potential
burden.
"When (inmates) are incar-
cerated; the responsibility for
the medical care belongs to
the county, to the sheriff's
office budget," Hall said.
"But when they are not
incarcerated, and they are in
some type of community
care, we expect that many
people are going to have
health issues."
The committee discussed
the very real issue of sick
inmates being released be-
cause of the cost to care for
them.
"The problem with AB 109
is you have the economics
and then you have public
safety," Kaufman said. "And
there is going to be a tension
there.
"And when we have some-
one who the court feels, or
the district attorney feels, or
even the sheriff feels, should
be in some type of incarcera-
tion for public safety ... and
the person has a large
medical problem and the
county is saying, 'Wait a
minute, we can't afford this'
