Big week ahead for Virtual AcademyBy Sandra Clark

The Union County Board of Ed-ucation hopes legislators continue the Tennessee Virtual Academy (TNVA), but nothing is certain as the General Assembly winds down its session.

The program has added as much as $500,000 to the school systems budget. That money will disappear if the program is shut down per a letter last year from then-Commissioner of Education Kevin Huffman, who said TNVA test scores were among the states lowest.

The current commissioner, Candice McQueen, is standing by Huffmans letter, Director of Schools Jimmy Carter said, but Were not closing anything until we get our (test scores) back.

TNVA principal Josh Williams said teachers and parents will fl ood the Capitol this week to lob-by for the school.

Williams said 80 teachers and 93 total staff would be without work if the school is closed, and 1,200 students in grades K-8 will be looking for another school. The Virtual Academy is administered

by Union County Public Schools with curriculum provided by K-12 Inc.

Williams said teachers and stu-dents have been working hard to raise test scores, but he cant pre-dict results.

He said a lawsuit by parents seeking to block closure is still alive, despite Senior Judge Ben Carters denial of a temporary in-junction last Wednesday. The in-junction would have assured us of one more year, said Williams.

Board member Johnny Collins had sharp words for critics of the

school. Why is our school be-ing held to higher standards? he asked. Im starting to take this personally.

Carter said local legislators, Sen. Frank Niceley and Rep. Den-nis Powers, are working hard on behalf of the program. Legislation to extend it is sponsored by Rep. Harry Brooks of Knox County.

academic progress. He expects

Hey you,the one not

looking for a job!By Sandra Clark

Shopper-News is looking for an advertising sales rep for Union County and Halls.

Its said that every hire is a reaction to the previous hire ... and thats the case with us. When Brandi Davis took a job closer home, we replaced her with one, and then another, high-powered, professional sales reps who quickly left us for a better job.

This time we want some-body who knows (and likes) the Shopper somebody who lives in Union County or Halls and has a record of community in-volvement.

The Shopper is more than a business that sells ads. Were about community building. Were about recognition for folks who make the place better because theyre here.

Were about supporting local businesses to help them grow.

We have fun at Shopper-News. We want someone who likes to laugh ... someone whos not looking over our shoulder for a different job.

The successful applicant will be computer literate with a record of community involve-ment. Send your resume to me at sclark426@aol.com.

We will fi ll this spot with somebody who can set goals and reach them. Youll work 40 hours a week for Journal Media Group with awesome corporate benefi ts and solid base pay plus commissions.

Dont think you cant do this. You can. We look forward to hearing from you.

By Libby MorganMike Lowe (Im not the

one in the news) spoke to the Union County Business and Professional Associa-tion about doing business in Union County, saying he considered several areas before landing in Maynard-ville to found Lowes Colli-sion Repair.

He has worked in the business his whole life, starting with helping his dad clean tools as a child. He served in the military and worked many years in body shops, and was man-ager of King Collision in Knoxville.

After losing his father and wife, he says he took a leap of faith to start his own business.

My moms family was from Lead Mine Bend and Ive been in Tater Valley for 28 years. Union County is a place to be proud of, and I want to do my part to make it even better, he says.

I considered several lo-

cations in Knoxville, but I decided to open my shop in Maynardville because I realized I could keep a cus-tomer base here at home and give service thats as good as anywhere.

Lowes Collision Repair is on Maynardville Highway across from Union County High.

The Business and Pro-fessional Association will continue its litter pick-up along Highway 33 by joining in the Keep Union County Beautiful county line to county line pick-up on May 2, and another pick-up is scheduled for May 9. Volun-teers are always welcome. Info: Darrell Johnson at 992-7000 or Marilyn Top-pins at 643-2821.

Applications for more than $4,500 in B & P scholarship money for 2015 UCHS grads are be-ing reviewed. The club awards $3,125 for academ-ics, $1,000 for career and technical education, and

$500 for service. More than $80,000 has been given to Union County students by the UC BPA.

The UC BPA will hold its annual Scholarship Ben-efi t Golf Classic on May 15 at Three Ridges Golf Course. It will consist of four-person teams with a shotgun start at 8:30 a.m. Registration forms are available at the Trustees offi ce in the court-house or call Gina Buckner at 992-5943.

TCAP test results to show four percent growth the states goal. He said sev-enth-grade English/Lan-guage Arts scores are too close to call, but said over-all he expects to show four percent growth in grades three-eight.

Because math scores were a concern for the coun-ty, we set a cohort goal for students to grow seven per-cent from one grade to the next. We feel confi dent that we will meet those goals in grades fi ve, six and seven. There is a strong possibility of hitting that goal in eighth grade as well.

Johnson Controls was authorized to order equip-ment for energy-saving upgrades at each school. County Commission voted unanimously to issue bonds for $3.5 million to fund the program. With the ex-ception of $30,000 annu-ally for fi ve years from the school system, the program will pay for itself with en-ergy savings guaranteed by the company. Carter said by ordering equipment now, most of the work can be done in June and July.

Union County school board chair David Coppock talks school calendar with Tammy Collins, bookkeeper at Union County High School, following Thursdays board meeting.

Math textbooks cost-ing roughly $150,000 will be ordered, said Susan Oaks, who coordinated an evaluation by teachers. The new books will be aligned with current tests, she said. Union County is requesting a state waiver on replacing some high school math text-books which were bought new in 2011-12.

By Betty BullenMay is National Preservation Month,

and Union County Mayor Mike Williams and the Union County Commission took action to offi cially proclaim May as Union County Preservation Month.

Preservation Union County (PUC), a nonprofi t organization devoted to the task, has joined with other organizations, cities, businesses and individuals to bring preser-vation awareness to the citizens of Union County.

Events are planned throughout the month of May to promote historic places to instill com-munity pride, promote heri-tage tourism, and show the social and e c o n o m i c benefi ts of his-toric preserva-tion.

PUC has joined with the Union County Farmers Market, Union County Arts and Jim Woods Union County Dirt Band to kick off Union County Preservation Month from 4-7 p.m. on Friday, May 1, opening day for the Farmers Market held in the lot behind Union County Arts.

Come by and support the Farmers Mar-ket, enjoy some lemonade and pie, listen to some good country music, browse the beau-tiful art inside Union County Arts, watch artists working on site, visit with county historian Bonnie Peters and learn how you can be a part of this movement to preserve Union County.

On Saturday, May 2, Maynardville Li-brary and PUC will show the movie that was fi lmed in Union County in 1973, Lolly Madonna.

The movie is based on the novel The

Lolly-Madonna War by Sue Grafton. Its about two feuding families in rural Ten-nessee and stars Rod Steiger, Jeff Bridges, Robert Ryan, Gary Busey, Randy Quaid and Katherine Squire. Yes folks, they were all right here in Union County!

Due to the content of the movie, no one under the age of 18 will be admitted with-out a parent or guardian.

It is rumored that some of the local Union County folks who participated in the fi lming will be on hand to talk about their part in the fi lm. Showing will be at the

Union County Senior Citi-zens Center on Main Street in Maynardville. Full conces-

sions will be avail-able. Admission is

free.Other events

throughout the month include:

Friday, May 8: PUC, the City of

Luttrell and the Luttrell Library will join together to present an afternoon of music, storytelling and host Billie Rose Shockley signing her book at Luttrell Library.

It is such fun to read about and research the rich history of Union County. I recently had an email from Joan Hollis telling me she was coming back to Union County to do more research on her ancestors a line of the Dyers of Union County and could I meet with her. Of course, I did, and it was a joy to see her again. I looked for a few things about the Dyer family, and yes, there are several family lines of Dyer with a Union County heritage.

It has been said that a person lives on as long as one person remembers. I found a memorial written for Elizabeth Dyer, who died on August 10, 1862. No author is listed, but it is typed. The author must have been there when she died, because this piece tells us lots about Mrs. Dyer.

She was born in Ken-tucky in 1807. She was 85 when she died. The writer says Her spirit was wafted

on the wings of an Angel to that beautiful home above.

She was the daughter of William and Nancy Con-dray. Her father died prior to her birth. Her mother subsequently moved to Tennessee and settled near Esco.

Sometime later, Nancy Condray Dyer married Jo-siah Smith, the son of the owner of the former slave Samuel Smith who later started a school. Elizabeth was living at Esco when she married Owen Dyer at age 15. [Esco was the name of the post of ce in the Ce-dar Grove/Pinhook com-munity.] They had seven sons and one daughter who

died in childhood. In later years she lived with her el-dest son, Isaac C. Dyer, at Well Springs. Their young-est son, Daniel, relocated to Amo, Ind. In addition to her sons, she was survived by 25 grandchildren, 55 great grandchildren and at least ve great, great grandchil-dren.

The memorial says she had been a sufferer for many years and in particu-lar the last four months of her life had suffered greatly. She was surrounded at her death by those who loved her and used the last several hours of her life to praise God and to counsel those around her to live for Him and meet her again in the home of the good. The me-morial says she appeared radiant as she praised God for the strength to bid farewell to her family and friends. The memorial is so detailed as to say she re-mained conscious but did not speak after 10 p.m. the

day before she died but seemed conscious until 25 minutes before she died. She died at 7 a.m. on August 10, 1862, at the home of her son Isaac.

Mrs. Dyer is said to have had a wonderful memory and could tell stories of hap-penings many years earlier and told the stories in such detail it seemed it had only happened yesterday. She delighted in telling those stories to children. The me-morial says, Union County was highly esteemed by Elizabeth. Her family and friends fondly called her Aunt Betsy. She referred to Maynardville as her homeplace. She was a mem-ber of Maynardville Baptist Church as were some fam-ily members. Elizabeth and Owen are buried in Carr Cemetery at Maynardville.

Joan was able to visit these graves while she was here. It is memorials and stories like this that make history come alive.

One sunny spring morn-ing in 1974, Mrs. Florence Chesney took those of us in her third-grade class on a walk through the side streets of Maynardville. I remember two things about that day. The sky was the perfect spring shade of blue with white uffy clouds, similar to several pictures in the old Macmillan social studies series to which we returned.

On that walk we were passed by the Horace May-nard High driver education car. I was later to learn that Mr. Gawain G. Houston was the instructor. Later and until a few years ago, Mr. Ron Green taught drivers ed at Horace Maynard and Union County High Schools.

I had driver education, though it was not a formal course in school. I had a terri c teacher, though he was certi ed neither by the state department of educa-tion nor any law enforce-ment agency.

My father died in winter 1982 after a three-year battle with cancer, leav-ing me with his two-door 1967 Chevrolet Impala and no driving skills. Deacon Bill Cox of the First Baptist Church of Maynardville stepped in to teach me this most useful skill.

Bills cousin told me that originally Bill intended to teach me to drive in his red truck with manual trans-mission and shift on the column, the philosophy be-ing that a person who could drive a standard could drive anything.

Experiences I will share with you in the next few weeks will reveal why both Bill and I probably fared better in Dads automatic Impala.

My lessons began in what was then known as the Industrial Park (now In-dustrial Park Number One). In 1982 that road (now Richardson Way) led to only one factory building;

Motorin

now it leads to other busi-nesses and Union Countys only nursing home.

I started out slow and nervous, but Bill was very patient and encouraging, and the lessons were enjoy-able.

After about three lessons on the off-road, we broke for the real highway, Main Street downtown Maynard-ville! Why, here there were other cars to pass. What a challenge!

Then on to Highway 61 East to buy gasoline at Bobby Beelers store. Those painted lines on 61 made driving seem like nothing at all. Bill told me I was do-ing ne and hadnt scared him once.

Bill taught me that the trick to staying in my lane on my side of the road was to guide the center ridge of the hood of the car along the outside right painted white line. That worked ne until I used the hood ridge to guide me alongside the gas pumps.

All of a sudden Bill grabbed the steering wheel and jerked hard left. I hit the brake and came to a perfect stop alongside the pumps.

With a somewhat pale face and light sweat on his brow, Bill said, You nally scared me.

For whatever reason, Bill declared me t to take my drivers test.

Next week Ill share with you how a car can become a hair styling instrument.

Scott Frith

In politics, the truth rarely gets in the way of a good argument, and few is-sues have become more po-litical than requiring photo identi cation to vote. The Tennessee Voter Identi ca-tion Act, more commonly known as the photo ID law, requires nearly all voters to provide a Tennessee or fed-eral ID before they can vote.

As a result, many Demo-crats (and a few Republi-cans) have alleged that the law keeps indigent or low-income folks from voting because they cant afford the cost of a photo ID.

It would be a good argu-ment if it were true.

While most voters are required to have a photo ID to vote, the law speci cally exempts those who cannot afford to pay for a photo ID.

In other words, if you cant afford a photo ID, and youre willing to sign a form

The politics of voting and photo ID

saying so, youre not re-quired to have an ID to vote. In fact, once you sign that form, the election of cials will allow you to vote on the voting machine just like ev-eryone else.

No questions asked.(Of course, if you pull

up to the polling place in a Rolls Royce and wearing a Rolex watch, some folks might start asking ques-tions.)

Why dont more folks understand this part of the law?

A cynic might say that Democrats dont better pub-licize this indigence exemp-

tion because theyd rather attack Republicans for (al-legedly) disenfranchising voters than actually get more low-income folks to the polls.

Others might say that Re-publicans dont better publi-cize the exemption because they dont want low-income folks to vote at all.

Even worse, its just as likely that activists from both parties never took the time to fully understand the law and are just arguing their talking-points.

Bottom line, Tennessees photo ID law is a common sense safeguard on the bal-lot box.

You have to show an ID to cash a check or buy a beer. Its just as reasonable to require folks to prove their identity when they go to vote.

Just remember, under the law, no one is prevented

from voting because they cant afford a photo ID.

Grumbling about Gibbs MiddleUnless you live in the

Gibbs community, you may have heard grumbling last week about the school board endorsing a plan to build a new Gibbs Middle School.

As a result, Knox County Commission will now de-cide whether to fund a new school despite the superin-tendent of schools saying we dont need it and the schools $30 million price tag.

At the same meeting, the school board also endorsed a new middle school in Har-din Valley.

As the joke goes in gov-ernment, Why buy one when you can get two for twice the price?Scott Frith is a local attorney. You can contact him at scott@pleadthefrith.com.

Basketball cheating isnt new

Marvin West

Wonderful, isnt it, that Tennessee basketball will never again by plagued by cheating disorders.

No more penalties or em-barrassment, so ordained, more or less, by athletic di-rector Dave Hart, who really likes his job, especially on the second and fourth Fri-days of each month.

We may never know what Donnie Tyndall knew when, but it is amazing that some who judge seem to think he or his may have been fi rst to twist or stretch rules and regulations.

Alas, it has been going on since shortly after Dr. James Naismith hung the original peach baskets, appointed scorekeepers and launched the coaching industry.

Naismith did not cheat. He had a losing record.

Cheating is a major prob-lem in basketball because one great player can make a stunning difference. Two can mean a champion-ship. Since there are never enough greats or even goods to go around, slick sales reps on commission may offer more exciting entice-ments than scholarships.

Chairs of academic integ-rity (eligibility) sometimes do whatever is needed to excel or save the coachs job. At some places (North Car-olina and Syracuse come to

mind), they do more than necessary.

I do believe college cheat-ing is pretty much a 50-50 proposition. About half the coaches do and half dont. Some host barbecues in pursuit of small advantages. Some go for broke. Al Mc-Guire said the secret of suc-cess was to keep it simple.

I waited until recruiters identifi ed the best player. When they lined up to de-liver their messages, I went to the front of the line and signed that player.

Coach McGuire did not go into details.

Fans are similar. They are about 50-50. All want to win. Some dont care how.

NCAA police appear to be 10-90 types. They lack subpoena power. They catch an occasional crook. Dumb

ones are more vulnerable.Earlier in my sporting

life, I was greatly disillu-sioned by some of the things I saw and heard. I could not believe the great Adolph Rupp had a Kentucky man-ager hiding behind the bleachers, sneaking a peek at Tennessees Friday prac-tice before a Saturday game in Lexington.

I got a tip that it was actually happening. Vol manager Greg Coffman and I converged from op-posite directions and caught the villain, armed with notebook and pen. Young man, what are you doing back here?

Searching for lost car keys, sir.

It really hurt to hear that John Woodens legacy at UCLA was inspired and

funded by wealthy devel-oper Sam Gilbert. Dur-ing Woodens domination, Sam provided interest-free loans and helped players exchange complimentary tickets for cars and clothes. He allegedly arranged abor-tions for girlfriends. Wood-en never noticed.

For book royalties, star center Bill Walton revealed the secrets. Las Vegas coach Jerry Tarkanian put the UCLA system in perspec-tive.

The only team with a higher payroll was the Lak-ers.

It was so sad when Vil-lanova, Western Kentucky, UCLA and UConn had to give back NCAA tourna-ment victories and earnings because they used ineligible players. It was shocking that it happened twice to Mem-phis.

It was unbelievable that John Calipari was com-

mander-in-chief for one Memphis mess after en-during a previous refund at Massachusetts. Like Wood-en, Calipari had no idea there was a bad smell in the house.

Some of Johns current friends are unusual. Some prosper in the suspicious AAU/shoe game. True Cali-pari disciples say their hero and Rick Barnes friend has been clean as the proverbial hounds tooth as Kentucky coach.

Michigans fi ve fabulous freshmen of 1992 turned out to be heartbreakers. They were so good and bad. Chris Webber was the star going up and down. He eventually pled guilty to criminal contempt for lying about $280,000 accepted from a booster.

Lying is serious. Just ask Bruce.Marvin West invites reader reaction. His address is westwest6@netzero.com.

Robert Watson honored at Duncan School of LawB. James Dawson, Pete DeBusk, Gary Wade and Jon Roach dedicate the Robert H. Watson Jr. Courtroom at the LMU-Duncan School of Law.

By Sandra ClarkLincoln Memorial Uni-

versity continues to mourn the loss and celebrate the life of Robert H. Watson Jr. nearly a year after the university trustee and prominent Knoxville attor-ney passed away following a brief illness on April 11, 2014.

University offi cials gath-ered with Watsons family, friends and legal colleagues

in Knoxville on Friday to dedicate the courtroom of the LMU-John J. Duncan Jr. School of Law in his honor.

Robert and his wife, Pat, grew up in Fountain City and both graduated from Central High School. They later moved to Halls and their children attended Halls High School.

LMU board chair Pete DeBusk said, The devotion

that Robert had to the suc-cess of this law school was nothing short of amazing. He recognized very early on the potential this venture had to impact this commu-nity and became engrossed in it.

Watson was a partner with Watson, Roach, Bat-son, Rowell and Lauder-back. Roberts support for the Duncan School of Law was constant. Without a

doubt, LMUs law school would not be a reality today without him, DeBusk said.

Tennessee Supreme Court Justice Gary R. Wade recalled his friendship with Watson during the ceremo-ny. After fi rst meeting as rivals on a high school foot-ball fi eld, Watson became a mentor and professional confi dant to Wade as each embarked on celebrated le-gal careers.

Hamilton said residen-tial edible gardens are now more popular than fl ower gardens, with many garden-ers scattering vegetables in the landscape in a practice called edible landscaping.

Operating as a nonprofi t under the aegis of the UT Institute of Agriculture, the UT Gardens are open from dawn to dusk daily at no charge to the public. They

host more than 100,000 visitors a year and are the setting for events ranging from workshops and classes for adults to summer camps for children.

The Gardens are also a popular setting for wed-dings and a wide range of charity events. Its popular farmers market operates from 4-7 p.m. on Wednes-days.

Its all small stuff , according to Union Countian Bo Shafer, past president of Kiwanis International.

April is a mixture, for sure, mixing memory and desire, as Eliot said. It also is a mixture of emotions.

In my family, with the passing of a whole genera-tion, the January birthday frenzy has given way to an April birthday frenzy. My brother and his wife, one of my daughters, and my husband and his brother all have April birthdays. Lewis and I have a wed-ding anniversary in April, so there is a lot of April celebrating going on in our lives.

The earth comes to life again (at least in our hemisphere), and jon-quils are everywhere, along with redbuds and dogwoods. The very air is perfumed!

But April showers car-ry their weight of sadness as well. In some ways, El-iot was right.

The Civil War began (and ended) in April, four years apart. Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, fi ve days after the war

Now it was the day of Preparation for the Pass-over; and it was about noon. [Pilate] said to the Jews, Here is your King! They cried out, Away with him! ... Crucify him!

(John 19:14-15a NRSV)

ended. The Titanic sank on April 15, 1915, Mar-tin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968. The Virginia Tech massacre was on April 16, 2007, and the Boston marathon bombing oc-curred on April 15, 2013.

Mixing memory, El-iot wrote.

That is a lot of memo-ry to carry around, and it makes me ponder the wisdom of carrying such weight. And yet, I believe that even the burden of bad memories serves a purpose. Remember the Alamo. Remember Pearl Harbor.

And last, but not least, Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.

because its all small stuff. Get rid of some of the stuff. Fo-

cus on the people in your life. Take care of yourself so you can take care of others. In other words, care to cooperate; cooperate to care.

The Rev. J. T. Russell, pastor of Fellowship Christian Church of Plainview, recalled the tremendous amount of cooperation UCBPA gar-nered in the development of Wilson Park.

Russell related the biblical par-able of the talents. He summarized the story and then admonished, The very worst mistake is to have even one talent and do nothing. We need to use our talents, even if we have just one, to share with others.

Mayor Mike Williams reminded the crowd of many achievements in Union County accomplished through cooperation among di-verse groups. He mentioned the balloon release at Maynardville El-ementary to raise awareness of au-tism and the technology program at Maynardville Library.

Williams noted Union County musicians Roy Acuff, Chet Atkins, Carl Smith, Lois Johnson, and Kenny Chesney. He then related Jim Woods vision of Union County as a music destination. The Union County Museum, the Chamber, Union County Arts, UCBPA, and city and county government are cooperating to promote Woods original song, Union County Dirt, along with a Music Grows in Union County T-shirt to fund seed money for this project.

Proceeds from the breakfast help UCBPA fund donations to the following service organizations: Union County Childrens Charities (Under the Tree), Union County Li-ons Club, Union County Communi-ty Foundation, 4-H, Maynardville Public Library and Horace May-nard Middle School Music Depart-ment.

Paulette celebrates new big awning

They call it an awning, but its more like an outdoor roof.

The new substantial steel structure over the walk-way at Paulette Elementary gives cover from the rain on a 50-foot stretch of sidewalk from the pick-up and drop-off driveway to the gymna-sium door.

Its part of the original plan that was cut from the budget back when principal Jason Bailey was overseeing the design of the school.

Bailey and Paulette in-structional facilitator Missy Fugate were instrumental in the project from the pen-cil stage.

We picked out every-thing from the paint colors

to the tiles. We had to give up this awning to help bring down the overall cost, says Fugate.

Bailey was working on his doctorate at LMU at the time and used the opportu-nity to write his dissertation entitled A New Principals Role in Opening a New El-ementary School.

Why not? he says. Thats what I was in the middle of when I needed

to choose my subject, so it worked together just right.

Baileys overall scheme was not only for the physi-cal structure; he has man-aged to bring a community together under the umbrel-la of Paulette Pride, the schools motto.

Our parents and kids, and our teachers and staff all take great pride in this school, says Bailey. And I give all the credit for this much-needed awning to our PTO.

The kids would run from their cars to the door and be soaking wet when they started their day.

The PTO, headed up by Teresa Williams, has dug deep in their own pockets and held fundraisers over

and over to pay for the aw-ning. We all wanted it to match perfectly with the awning on the front, and it does. And it ought to last a very long time.

Awning Connections put it up before we raised all of the money. We should be able to fi nish paying for it with the fundraising events that are planned for the rest of the year.

On May 1, there will be a Mother/Son Dinner and a Movie at the school. Every-one is welcome to attend. Details are available in the school offi ce.

If youve never been to a chiropractor before, heres an outline of what you can expect at your fi rst visit.

Just like any other health care provider, the chiropractor is going to want to know about your overall physical condition and your medical history. The chiropractor will ask you a series of questions, including your history of surgeries and accidents. As with any other health care professional, he or she will likely check your blood pressure and may also want urine and blood samples. The chiropractor may also take some X-rays and check your posture as well as your balance, muscle tone and the range of motion of various joints.

It is also common practice for a chiropractor to measure

the length of your legs. A variety of problems can be attributable to legs of different lengths. If its a specifi c ailment that has brought you to the chiropractor, he or she will ask you to explain how it came about, what sort of activity aggravates your condition, and what makes it feel better. The chiropractor then will offer a diagnosis of your situation and decide whether chiropractic treatment is the right step for you. If so, the chiropractor will suggest a course of treatment.

Starting a relationship with a chiropractor is a decision that will help keep you feeling good.

stability to those in need through the gift of furni-ture. They want to ensure that everyone has a bed to sleep in, a chair to sit on and a table to eat from.

Such simple needs, and yet most of us take them for granted.

Strictly a provider, the ministry is unable to up-grade existing furniture, replace items previously provided or move furniture from one place to another.

Training is offered to those who are interested in volunteering for the organi-zation. Those wishing to re-ceive furniture are referred by an approved church or agency in Knox County. No walk-ins or self-referrals can be accepted.

Simple needs

After a church or agency has completed a home visit and verifi ed that the cli-ent has a legitimate need, a referral form is sent to the organization, and a delivery coordinator oversees the rest of the process.

This time of year, many folks are doing spring clean-ing and tossing out a lot of unwanted items. In this re-gard, most of us are blessed with too much rather than not enough. Consider help-ing the Knox Furniture

Ministry with a gift of fur-niture or as an individual volunteer.

Or maybe your church would like to get involved.

Imagine living without a bed, says the ministrys webpage at West Towne Christian Church, one of

the participating congrega-tions.

Colorful car showBenefi ts Halls

High BandBy Ruth White

From candy-apple red to lime green, colors glowed during the 14th annual Halls Crossroads Car Show held in the Food City park-ing lot April 4. More than 116 entries fi lled the lot as bands played and local ven-dors sold their wares.

Proceeds of more than $5,200 went to benefi t the Halls High School Band. Don Dixon has organized the event for the past 10 years. Band director Eric Mr. B Baumgardner, at Halls for 11 years, presented the trophies.

This has been a wonder-ful event with perfect weath-er, said Baumgardner. All the funds will go to support the band with things like in-

strument repair, music pur-chases and travel.

Best in Show went to Sta-cey Moore for his 1965 Mus-tang convertible. Except for seat covers and tires, the restored Ford featured all original parts.

Band Directors Choice went to Chris and Teresa Wilson for their 1955 Nomad and travel trailer, Best Inte-rior went to Paul Hatmaker for his 1941 Chevy, Best Paint went to Denney Evans for his 1969 Camaro and Best Motor went to Ron Bradley for his 1970 Dodge Challenger.

Other winners were Pete Briese, Steve Morton, Bran-don Reed, Roy Smith, Jason Smith, Bobby Cross, Robert Orr, Jeff Drinnon and Char-ley Manker. The Club Tro-phy went to East Tennessee Mopars.
