Staying home for Kentucky week
All About Ben

This saddens me greatly. I thought I was so lucky because Bobby Haley, founder of Kentucky Missions, was planning a trip this summer, and I was in position to go with them.
“Nothing will change my mind,” I promised myself.
I had planned to pay for the trip with half of my tax return money. So I filled out my taxes and came up with a figure of $575 I should be getting back. The IRS even sent me a letter saying I might be eligible for more.
Then the next letter came from the IRS. It said that my tax return was used to pay back taxes that I did not know I owed. In addition to the $575, they wanted me to send around $9,000, which of course I do not have.
I went to the IRS office in Greenville, and they said I needed to fill out forms from
Uncle Walter’s superior school of swimming
On The Way
By Olivia Fowler
When we have an especially hot summer day, my thoughts turn to the river, because that’s where I want to be.
Olivia Fowler
One of the reasons I love the Twelve Mile River is how it calls to my heart. Floating down Twelve Mile takes me straight back to childhood, when my brother and cousins and I spent countless hours immersed in the icy waters of the Lumber River.
That river is where I learned to swim. Uncle Walter had a unique teaching method. His swimming school only held one class. If you passed you were certified to swim upstream against the current. If you flunked, you were in danger of drowning.
The first and only lesson given could be titled the “sink or swim” class.
The victim, or student, depending on your viewpoint, usually enrolled in Uncle

Locals leading the way in
preserving musical traditions
By Dr. Thomas Cloer, Jr., Special to The Courier
I have a certificate, proudly displayed on my wall, from the Stamps-Baxter Normal Music School, verifying that “Tommy Cloer after having passed a reasonably rigid examination and by good deportment is entitled to this Theory Grade Certificate, June 8th –June 26th, 1953.”
The music school sessions were attended by all ages, children and adults. The teachers informed my parents that I was the youngest ever to pass their exam on the Rudiments of Music. I had just finished the second grade. I also have on my “Books in Use” shelf a 1939 song book titled “Favorite Songs and Hymns: Shape Notes,” compiled by Virgil O. Stamps and J.R. Baxter and published by Stamps-Baxter Music and Printing Co., Inc., which had thriving businesses in Dallas, Texas, Pangburn, Ark., and Chattanooga, Tenn. Suffice it to say the company “done real good” in Southern Appalachian churches.
Sacred Appalachian music is central to many of us that as children had those emotional, life-lifting sounds implanted in our minds. I remember vividly when this music began to move out of the churches in Southern Appalachia and began to be used as entertainment, as well as being used for worship. This was, I think, a
