Brother Claude Ely, coined as the King Recording Label's Gospel Ranger of the Appalachian Mountains, was well-known and loved by many in the earlier part of the twentieth century as both a religious singer/songwriter and a Pentecostal-Holiness preacher. Few people, however, knew the personal details of his childhood, military service, and years of hard work in the coal fields of Southwestern Virginia. Now, decades after his legendary death, many fans still seem mesmerized and touched by this humble man's quick wit and sincere desire to share the Gospel's Good News with everyone who would listen to his message of hope and love. - Jacket flap. |

| safety and homeland security tn: Preparing for Disaster for People with Disabilities and Other Special Needs (FEMA 476) U. s. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, American National Red Cross, 2013-03-01 For the millions of Americans who have physical, medical, sensory or cognitive disabilities, emergencies such as fires, floods and acts of terrorism present a real challenge. The same challenge also applies to the elderly and other special needs populations. Protecting yourself and your family when disaster strikes requires planning ahead. This booklet will help you get started. Discuss these ideas with your family, friends and/or your personal care attendant, or anyone else in your support network and prepare an emergency plan. Post the plan where everyone will see it, keep a copy with you and make sure everyone involved in your plan has a copy. Where will you, your family, your friends or personal care attendants be when an emergency or disaster strikes? You, and those you care about, could be anywhere – at home, work, school or in transit. How will you find each other? Will you know your loved ones will be safe? Emergencies and disasters can strike quickly and without warning and can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services – water, gas, electricity or telephones – were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. You are in the best position to plan for your own safety as you are best able to know your functional abilities and possible needs during and after an emergency or disaster situation. You can cope with disaster by preparing in advance with your family and care attendants. You will need to create a personal support network and complete a personal assessment. You will also need to follow the four preparedness steps listed in this booklet. 1. Get informed 2. Make a plan 3. Assemble a kit 4. Maintain your plan and kit. |

| safety and homeland security tn: The Untold Story of the Abduction of Holly Bobo Terry L Dicus, Jr, 2020-09-25 On April 13, 2011 at 7:45 a.m., a young lady in rural West Tennessee was kidnapped from her carport as she was getting into her vehicle to go take a nursing school exam. A manhunt ensued for the perpetrator and the victim. The investigation was led by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Decatur County Sheriff's Department and assisted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Marshall's Service, Homeland Security and many more agencies. This is the true story of the largest investigation in the history of the state of Tennessee and the top news story for 2011. The book details the investigation involving sweetheart plea deals and the utilization of a witness who claimed to be involved in the crime. It is graphic and intended only for mature audiences who can handle the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. You will discover information that was never made public despite being the subject of an ABC 20/20 documentary and countless other newscasts. Take a journey into rural Tennessee and meet characters like you have never met before, including those who live off the land, those who live for a methamphetamine high and even those who live to commit sexual assault. This is a recount of the events as told by the TBI case agent in charge of the investigation for over two years. |

| safety and homeland security tn: Race, Rock, and Elvis Michael T. Bertrand, 2000 In Race, Rock, and Elvis, Michael T. Bertrand contends that popular music, specifically Elvis's brand of rock 'n' roll, helped revise racial attitudes after World War II. Observing that youthful fans of rhythm and blues, rock 'n' roll, and other black-inspired music seemed more inclined than their segregationist elders to ignore the color line, Bertrand links popular music with a more general relaxation, led by white youths, of the historical denigration of blacks in the South. The tradition of southern racism, successfully communicated to previous generations, failed for the first time when confronted with the demand for rock 'n' roll by a new, national, commercialized youth culture. In a narrative peppered with the colorful observations of ordinary southerners, Bertrand argues that appreciating black music made possible a new recognition of blacks as fellow human beings. Bertrand documents black enthusiasm for Elvis and cites the racially mixed audiences that flocked to the new music at a time when adults expected separate performances for black and white audiences. He describes the critical role of radio and recordings in blurring the color line and notes that these media made black culture available to appreciative whites on an unprecedented scale. He also shows how music was used to define and express the values of a southern working-class youth culture in transition, as young whites, many of them trying to orient themselves in an unfamiliar urban setting, embraced black music and culture as a means of identifying themselves. By adding rock 'n' roll to the mix of factors that fed into civil rights advances in the South, Race, Rock, and Elvis shows how the music, with its rituals and vehicles, symbolized the vast potential for racial accord inherent in postwar society. |
