The body is at Scales Funeral Home and will be conveyed to the Thursday where it will lie in state from noon to 2 p.m. Juvenile (Continued from page one) The judge says he handles Juvenile Court cases once a week and General Sessions Court cases on other days. Much of his time Tuesday at LBL was spent taking a group of students on a morning six-mile hike, supervising in the cafeteria and coaching and participating in an evening volleyball game. "I enjoy working with young people and don't have a chance to get outside the courtroom," said the judge, who was elected to his position in November 1984. "In the past, I've stayed (at LBL) about three days." However, with his schedule this year, he stayed only one day and returned to court this morning.

But the judge said he plans to stay about four days next year. Corlew said he began going with the Mitchell-Nielson group about four years ago while he was a practicing attorney and a member of Murfreesboro City Council. Parents of Mitchell-Nielson students asked him to come along on the trip because the council was considering an appropriation of funds for the activity, he said. However, the council never had to make a decision, Corlew said. The trip's planning is done by the city school board.

Mitchell-Neilson sixth-graders were the first in the city school system to make the trip about 20 years ago, said director of instruction Margaret Salisbury. Children from other schools have been following ever since. Homer Pittard Campus School in the county school system was the first school in the park's history to go to the environmental study area. Corlew was a student in that class in 1966, which is another reason why he says LBL is special to him. "Looking back on my life experience, it was a week I wouldn't forget," he said.

"It was the first class that ever went to LBL, and we were in a film to encourage kids to come up. "Sixth and seventh grades were taken, and it was called a pilot program," Corlew said. "The movie was photographed for TVA." The. judge said he and his fellow classmates were photographed in all their activities from eating to hiking. The 40-mile-long peninsula between Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley was designated a national recreation area and wildlife refuge in 1963 by President John F.

Kennedy. This land along the Tennessee-Kentucky border is managed by the Tennessee Valley Authority. But budget cutbacks may force TVA to give it to some other federal agency. The purpose is to provide real-life learning situations for children instead of having them learn about nature from books. "The trip is a valuable experience (for students) in learning to work together on a longer basis as far as interactions with other students and teachers are concerned," Corlew said.

"Some young people have never been away from home, or have never been outdoors much." Ragan-Smith representative, said his firm needed the amendment to clinch a deal with a Florida businessman. "We are representing William Charles Mayo of Tampa," Daniels said. "Mr. Mayo puts together -land development packages, and he is ready to put" a hotel in on one of the sites as soon as we get appropriate zoninghere. "He is also interested in putting in some office buildings and other businesses." The amendment passed the commission unanimously.

In other action, commission members: Killed a zoning request that would Jiave resulted in the construction of a convenience market at the intersection of Old Jefferson Pike and Old Nashville Highway. Agreed to buy a new $10,400 police car. Heard a report on the city's planned May 24 Homecoming '86 celebration activities.

Deferred action on a lease agreement with Cellular One, a mobile telephone company that is requesting a lease to build a communication tower in the city.

Smyrna- Continued from page one) they stoppedT then mashed their accelerator tearing up sod as they slid across the green. "We're glad they didn't do more damage than they did," Randall Singleton, course greens supervisor, said. "The damage to the greens will cost about $1,000 to repair, and they probably won't be totally healthy again until the fall. "Right now about all we can do is back-brush the damaged area and water it heavily, to try to preserve what life there is left in the sod," he said. Singleton said the sand rake disappeared between 10 a.m.

and noon Tuesday. "I had a boy out there repairing the damage that was done to the sand-traps on the 9th hole by the vandals," Singleton said. "He came in and told me he was done when we went out to pick up the rake with a truck it was gone." Smyrna police detective Mike Beach and Captain James Bailey recovered the stolen piece of equipment about 4 p.m. Tuesday. "We observed two boys joy riding on the three-wheeler in the fields behind the recreation area," Det Beach said today.

"We gave foot pursuit and captured one boy, be told us who the to the second boy yet. No decision has been made whether to charge these juveniles with grand theft or malicious mischief." Police say there are no suspects in the vandalism incident yet York said that the golf course would pay $500 for information leading to the apprehension of the vandals responsible for the latest green destruction or a similar incident that occurred earlier this year. According to York, the golf course committee has had funds approved to surround the course with a 6-foot chain link fence with three strands of Voters strongly approve 911 service as 35 cents. "By law the board which oversees the 911 system cannot make a profit," he said. "If they set a rate and it produces a profit, the rate will be lowered." Mankin, aglow with his own primary victory over candidate Bob Peay in the election Tuesday, said the 911 service is much needed and he is glad it received such a margin of victory.

"All the fire departments, the ambulance service, and certainly Steve Lane did an outstanding job of promoting the 911 referendum," Mankin said. "The next thing will be to try to get emergency number will cut down on response time to accidents involving children and the elderly. "I feel terrific and very appreciative of the volunteer agencies who supported it," Lane said. A nine-person board will oversee the emergency number. It will work with local leaders on the operation of the system.

The new number should be in place by September 1987 and paid for by a telephone surcharge added to the base telephone rate. The surcharge cannot exceed 5 percent of the base rate, or some 55 cents locally, Lane said. He said the charge may be as low barbed wire at the top. "It's just a matter of time now we have to take bids and get contractors approved," the manager said. But York said he doesn't think the fence will do much to stop determined vandals.

"They'll probably just drive through the fence," he predicted. "If they really want to get on the course they will. "What I'd like to do is run about 10,000 volts through the fence," the manager joked grimly. The following items are taken from reports on file with the Sheriffs Department. Burglaries: Floyd Sulls, 94lA Twin Oak told deputies someone broke the lock on a tool box in the back of his truck and took $700 worth of tools, jewelry and peremption drugs.

An air impact wrench, air drill, five-piece wrench set and 20 piece drill bit were taken, along with a cigar box containing knives, watches and rings. Charles Lannom, Rt. 3 Couchvill Pike, reported a burglary to his trailer. The back door was pried open and a 19-inch remote control color television, an Emerson AMFM stereo cassette player, five-inch portable television with AMFM radio, in change and 18 to 20 pairs of gold 14K earrings were taken. The total value of the items was estima ted at $2,000.

Vandalism: Kenya Gannon, Sulphur Springs Road, told officials electricity was cut of! to her trailor twice Wednesday night while she heard a scraping noise against the outside wall of the trailor. Deputies found a pitchfork next to the trailor. Police report By JOHN HOWZE and TOM SPIGOLON News Journal Staff Writers -Rutherford County will soon have a single emergency telephone number 911 connected to a computer, which will instantly register the address of anyone who dials it. Approved overwhelmingly in Tuesday's Democratic primary election, the 911 referendum had the support of County Executive John Mankin, emergency management coordinator Steve Lane, ambulance director Mike Nunley, and a host of fire and police officials. Lane said today he hopes the new Channel (Continued from page one) proved by the FCC, CTN will exercise no control over Channel 39, stressed D' Andrea.

"My personal belief, and it has been proved at our other stations, is that this type of programming changes the complexion of the community," he said. For D' Andrea said, the network has a 24-hour prayer counseling service. The station will also act as a referral service to other agencies in the community. A service, called "Food Basket," will collect food for the needy. "We also refer people needing help to agencies like the Salvation Army and to churches that really want to get involved," D'Andrea said.

"We are viewer supported, but we do sell some air time to other ministries, "he said. CTN is the second largest producer of Christian-oriented programs.

"We have a couple of musical shows including one that features the Downings, which is a Nashville group," D'Andrea said. The new station "sign-on" that was broadcast by Channel 39 early today 'is indicative of the station's new orientation, he added. The sign-on featured a gospel song that stressed "love of God and country" and footage of a space shuttle blast-off and the return of the Iranian hostages to the U.S. i Weldon said he is pushing for a smooth transition. 1 "It's no secret the station has been through difficult times.

"You can tell the county I said so." Joe Black Hayes, chairman of the pianmng commission and a county commissioner also, said he supported Mankin strongly and was glad to see him win. "You can usually trust the voters," he said. "They'll choose the right man if you put it before them." "I have enjoyed the race and offer my congratulations to the winner," said the defeated Peay.
