Chandlerhen you left this worldwithout me you knew itma e e lue.My tears fell so freely,

you watched; I knew thiswas true.

hile I was weeping,ays after you passed

away while all wasilent within me, you saw

me kneel to pray.From that wonderful place called Heaven where all

your pain is gone, you sent a gentle breeze to whis-per, my loved ones please go on.

The peace that you have found there goes far beyond compare no rain, no clouds, no suffering

just love from everywhere.I need not be troubled just stay close to GOD in

prayer someday well be reunited.our love, His love surrounds me always, everywhere!

To the best mom ever! Youll never be forgotten.

Love always and forever,randy and Phyllis

A resolution expressing dis-sent with the states appoint-ment to the local ElectionCommission has been sentfrom the Unicoi County Com-mission to the State ElectionCommission, Unicoi CountyElection Commission, stateSen. Steven Southerland andstate Rep. David Hawk.

County commissioners vot-ed unanimously on Monday,April 27, to draft the resolu-tion relaying its disagreementwith the appointment of threemen from the same district Unicoi and not longtimeresidents of the county. TomReeves, Charles Apple andRick Parshall were appointedto the local Election Commis-sion in April.

The state Election Commis-sion gives the final approvalof the local selections and forUnicoi County, the state lead-ers went against the wishes ofthe local GOP to appoint twolongtime election commis-sioners Jim Buchanan and J.R.Bowman, along with project-ed new member Bill Gaines.

Doug Bowman, the son ofJ.R. Bowman, made the mo-tion to the county commis-sion, which was unanimouslyapproved.

This legislative body be-lieves the state election com-mission erred in failing toconsider the proposed list ofwell-qualified candidates, andin appointing individuals whoare not long-term residents ofthe county and who all residein the same voting precinctto the local election commis-sion, the resolution from thecounty commission reads.

The resolution was alsosent to the local newspapersand to all nine county com-missioners.

Last Monday, ChairmanDavid Boone made the lead-ers aware that if the new elec-tion officials decide to replacecurrent administrator SarahBailey, a Democrat, with a Re-publican administrator, thenthe county could face paying

$18,000 of that persons sal-ary until he/she passes a statecertification test within thefirst six months.

Certification is not requiredby the state, but if the adminis-

trator does achieve this mark,then the state reimburses thecounty $18,000 of the salary.Bailey obtained her certifi-cation after she was hired in2005.

Resolution expresses disagreementwith appointment of election posts
