 Sunday, LaFollette Church of God will celebrate its 95th anniversary.

“It will be a homecoming,” LaFollette Church of God member Hack Ayers said.

Oh yes, they call him the streak.

That was what the Jacksboro Police Department may have been thinking when they arrested Charles Blankenship, 58, of 243 Liberty Street after a year of telephone calls about an allegedly nude man.

“The first report that we got, that I actually received, it’s been well over a year ago,” said Jacksboro detective Mike Starrett. The first call came in from a clerk in the circuit court clerk’s office.

When Thursday was over and the votes were counted, Brandon Partin was elected to another term as county property assessor.

He won the race with 58 percent of the vote.

After the celebration ended, it was time for Partin to resume his duties.

Among those duties is the installation of a new computer system. In October the property assessor’s office will convert its appraisal system. “The values of people’s properties will not change,” Partin said. “But it will give more flexibility to the appraisal process.”
