Polk County News 6A Polk County Itemizer-Observer • March 22, 2017 Baby: delivered in bathtub EMILY MENTZER/Itemizer-Observer This student’s egg nearly made it through the drop. Egg: projects apply theory to reality Continued from Page 12A “My idea is that when it drops, the egg will sort of wob- ble in the center, because it’s suspended,” she said. “Hope- fully the egg won’t touch the ground and it will just stay suspended in the middle.” As her egg’s turn came and it fell to the ground at full speed, it worked, just as Gallagher had hoped. Craven said the project gives students a chance to apply theory to reality. “In physics, I’m all about teaching them to be better thinkers so they have a happier, more successful life,” he said. “I’m all about creating thoughtful, engaged, scientifi- cally literate citizens. And this is part of that.” March 25 Pre-Sale $8, 9am - 10am 10am - 4pm Kids 10 yrs & under Free Admission: Adults $5 Food Available Polk County Fairgrounds on site 520 Pacific Hwy W, Rickreall Arleta Day 503-581-1206 Sally Bradfrod 503-399-7679 Hwy 22 Rickreall Salem ★ Polk Co Fairgrounds RV Space Available I-5 Sales Table Reservation $35 per table 99W Dolls, Bears, Books, Toys, Miniatures & Related Items, Doll Stringing No Appraisals Continued from Page 1A He said based on the in- formation being sent by dis- patch, the crew knew what they were heading into and were excited for the call. “Mom did awesome; she did really great,” McCallum said. “She did all the work. All I had to do was catch.” McCallum said his train- ing kicked in during the de- livery, and afterward while they checked to make sure mom, Brandie Foster, and Hailey were stable. “I didn’t think about it at the time,” McCallum said. “Afterwards, it was like, holy crap what just happened?” Earlier in the day, Foster was sent home from the hospital because doctors didn’t think she was far enough along, McCallum said. She decided to try to relax and take a bath. Hailey apparently had other plans. Father, Justin Haas, called 911, and dispatcher Rachel Weston helped guide him and Foster through the labor until the crew arrived. Foster still was in the bathtub, so the crew delivered Hailey right there. “When I first got there, I was able to ask her her name and the history of the preg- nancy, making sure she had been taken care of prenatal,” McCallum said. “I had a cou- ple of seconds before she ac- tually started delivering the baby.” She asked if she could push, and he told her yes. The process didn’t take long. “There was no intense labor. She pushed maybe four times tops,” McCallum said. “The baby’s head was delivered almost immedi- ately, and I just supported the head.” As soon as Hailey officially arrived, mom and baby were rushed to the hospital. Fos- ter’s two previous children had to be induced, so doc- tors believed Hailey’s deliv- ery would be the same. “The hospital I think was APRIL WELSH /for the Itemizer-Observer Shawn Stamy, right, was named the Dallas Fire & EMS 2016 Firefighter of the Year. quite surprised to see her with a baby,” McCallum “Everything went well. We had a good team, good teamwork, and got her to the hospital.” The department recog- nized the occasion by put- ting a second stork decal on the ambulance the crew re- sponded in. Hailey is just the second stork. McCallum, the Fire & EMS crew, and Weston were re- united with Hailey and her family on March 8 at the de- partment’s awards banquet. “I got to hold the baby,” McCallum said. “That was awesome.” Annual awards Recently, Dallas Fire & EMS recognized its volun- teers.
