Safety Town
grand opening
set for Monday
in Forsyth Co.
By Laura Lavezzo
Staff Writer
Monday, June 8 marks the initiation of
Safety Town in Forsyth County.
Safety Town is a nine-day summer camp for
children about to enter kindergarten.
The camp’s purpose is to teach the young
sters about safe living at home and elsewhere.
Representatives from the Sheriff’s Office, fire
department, electric company and other orga
nizations will take turns visiting Safety Town
during each session to conduct demonstrations
on accident prevention.
The public is invited to attend Monday’s rib
bon-cutting at 8 a.m., just before the first ses
sion begins at Daves Creek Elementary.
Three community leaders will address the
crowd on opening day. Superintendent of
Schools Dr. Allene Magill, Major Earl
Singletary with the Community Oriented
Policing Services and Public Safety Director
Miles Butler are scheduled to welcome par
ents and children to the new educational facili
ty . .
Several local businesses and organizations
have contributed funds to Safety Town, which
paid for the construction of the miniature
“Forsyth County,” consisting of small build
ings set on a tarp with road designs. Other
funds helped pay for the Kett cars - small,
rubber-wheeled cars the preschoolers use to
drive around the town.
According to Lori Komorek, director of
Safety Town, there is still a need for volun
teers to help with the children. And of course,
the program could always use monetary dona
tions.
“We always need donors,” said Komorek.
“Anyone who’s interested in helping us can
always keep us in mind for next year’s pro
gram.”
See future editions of the Forsyth County
News for follow-up coverage of Safety Town.
For more information on Safety Town, call
the Forsyth County Department of Parks and
Recreation.
to cover costs of the meal. Call
Cindy Hayes at (770) 887-1817 or
Rick Lee at (770) 887-7560 for
reservations.

Gaither Vocal Band to visit Wal-Mart
By Alton Bridges
Staff Writer
The award-winning Gaither Vocal
Band will make an in-store appear
ance at Wal-Mart Super Center in
Cumming, located at 1500 Market
Place Boulevard on June 9, from
6:30-7:30 p.m.
The four-man Vocal Band, found
ed and fronted by Bill Gaiter, con
sists of comedian Mark Lowry, Guy
Penrod and David Phelps. The
Grammy and Dove award-winning
foursome will sign CDs and videos.
Although Bill Gaither is the leader
of the vocal group, his prolific pen
has produced more than 500 inspi
rational songs, many co-written
with his wife, Gloria. He has written
such standards as “Because He
Lives,” “The King is Coming” and
“There’s Something About That
Name.” However, it was a single
song, “He Touched Me,” which cat
apulted Gaiter to the top of the
industry. Nominated for a Grammy
in 1969, it was recorded by Elvis
Presley, and was cited that year as
having more impact on the listening
public than any other song in the
nation.
Gaither earned a Dove Award in
1969 as Songwriter of the Year, a
title he also won consecutively from
1972 through 1977. He was induct
ed into the Gospel Music Hall of
Fame in 1982.
Billboard Magazine recently
declared that Bill Gaither is doing
for Southern gospel music what TV
did for rock.
FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS Sunday, Jun* 7,19 M -
More than 40 videos of a gather
ing of gospel greats have sold more
than 5 million copies, including
“Old Friends,” “Turn Your Radio
On,” “Homecoming" and
“Landmark” have been sold.
Twenty-nine of the videos have
recently been certified either gold,
platinum or multi-platinum.
Gaither is staging a landmark
Georgia Homecoming Concert at
the Georgia Dome in Atlanta on
Saturday, June 27, from 10 a.m. to
10 p.m.
The show is expected to be the
largest ticketed event in gospel
music history with sales anticipated
to exceed 45,000.
“It wouldn’t be a true Georgia
Homecoming without Hovie Lister
and The Statesmen Quartet, Jake
Hess, Eva Mae LeFevre and The
Nelsons,” Gaither pointed out.

ARMS OFFER LOW, LOW RATES, BUT '
JIM FRENCH WATCH OUT!
Interest rates on fixed-rate mortgages remain near the lowest level they have
been for quite some time. That’s good news for prospective home buyers. Even
better news is the fact that the interest rate on some Adjustable Rate Mortgage!
(ARMs) is also at the lowest level it has been in a number of years. You should
choose an ARM with caution, however.
Keep in mind that the low rates offered on ARMs usually are guaranteed just '
for the first few years. For buyers who plan to be in a home for only a couple of
- an Adjustable Rate Mortgage will result in lower monthly payments and can <
enable them to purchase a more expensive house than they could buy with a fixed- ’
rate loan.
Some lenders may require marginal borrowers to qualify for a loan that is sev-<
eral percentage points above the initial rate charge on the ARM or charge special <
fees or caps that can increase the cost of the loan.
Make sure you know all of the details about a loan program and how it com- -
pares with others available before you make your decision.
