Jessica Mills McClure, Electric Shock Drowning Board Vice-President, recently awarded the Electric Shock Drowning scholarships to Morristown East and Morristown West students. Applicants are asked to write about ESD, how it happens, and how to know the risks. Requirements for the scholarship also include students to research and explain the Noah Dean and Nate Act which was passed in 2014 to help reduce ESD and make Tennessee lake waters safer.
Pictured from West High is Haleigh Raye Winstead, sister of Noah Dean Winstead, Bode Watkins, Halie Clary, Zoe Kraus, Lauren Gray, and Jessica Mills McClure.

Jessica McClure recently had the privilege to speak to the Morristown Rotary Club at their August meeting at The Country Club. Jessica was asked to speak to about the dangers and reality of Electric Shock Drowning and also shared about the Noah Dean and Nate Act that was passed in memory of her son, Noah Dean Winstead and his friend Nate Lynam, who died on July 4th, 2012 of ESD. Pictured here is Jessica and Rotarian, LA Orio. (posted August 23, 2022).
The Noah Dean Scholarship was awarded to three recipients this year. Jacob Lawson and Emily Morrow from Morristown East High and Hallie Lane from Morristown West High. Scholarships were awarded based on the essays written by the applicants about Electric Shock Drowning and the Noah Dean and Nate Act.
The scholarship is named after Noah Dean Winstead who died on July 4th 2012 on Cherokee Lake in Tennessee as a result of Electric Shock Drowning. Noah and his friend, Nate Lynam, both died as a result of ESD. Almost 2 years after their death, Tennessee passed the Noah Dean and Nate Act, which creates infrastructure to better protect the public in and around marinas. The Act outlines requirements for the installation of ground fault protection in and around boat docks and marinas, authorizes the State Fire Marshal’s Office to conduct safety inspections of boat docks and marinas to ensure compliance with applicable codes, and requires marinas to post safety signage notifying individuals of the potential for electric shock if swimming within 100 yards of the boat dock.
Awareness of Electric Shock Drowning is also being spread in local and surrounding areas by the ESD billboards.
