QuaanSot King Sal Thursday Stevens. George Riddle is an outstanding vocalist and country music songwriter. His song, “Lonesome Again," was a major hit for Ray Charles. Riddle toured with the George Jones Show for a number of years and also was with the Johnny Cash road show. All of these stars performing together with the great music of the “Strings of Nashville” pro mise to provide a memorable evening of entertainment and an outstanding country music achievement for the area. Nashville guest artists are always present to add more ex citement to this already super show. The share of funds earned by the sheriff’s department will be used in regular crime prevention programs. Informants Are Rewarded Chowan County’s Crime Line, promised to be operational in Oc tober, will be one of many similar programs utilizing tips from infor mants who have knowledge of criminal activity, but do not want to be involved in the judicial process. At least 37 of the programs are operating across the state. Those who work with the lines in other areas say law officers have no idea who suspects are in 50 per cent of the cases until a tip comes anonymously. The Chowan Crime Line will pay rewards ranging from $5 to $1,000 for usable information that may or may not result in an arrest. One of the most successful pro grams is underway in nearby Greenville, where the first anonymous call was received September 20, 1983 and the first reward was paid 31 days later. Greenville Crime Stoppers received 941 usable calls through March 25,1987 and made 347 ar rests from information received, with rewards given that total $14,290 to 135 informants. Each call received through that Crime Stoppers line has resulted in $1,409.24 in merchandise or nar cotics recovered. A reward has been paid for one call out of seven and $69.09 worth of property or narcotics have been recovered for each reward paid. A merchant who donates $100 to the project can expect his con tribution to account for seven calls received. Hardy Gilliam, president of the newly formed Chowan County Law Enforcement Officers. Association, which will sponsor the local Crime Line, says his organization will soon be contac ting merchants, businesses and individuals for contributions to Chowan County Crime Line. Parks Named Top Volunteer Alice Parks of Chowan County has been chosen as Hospice Volunteer of Month for July 1987. Wanda Barnard, Hospice Coor dinator, describes Mrs. Parks as a very warm person and as some one being very much involved in community service. “A very rewarding service” is how Alice Parks views the Hospice program. “You may think you are giving up something but you really end up receiving,” says Mrs. Parks. She also says it has been a joy to her just knowing she has helped make someone more comfortable. A special recognition this month to Hospice volunteers Katherine Sawyer, Ann Dowdy and Lillie White for going to a patient’s home at7:00A.M.,l:00P.M. and 7:00 P.M. faithfully for three straight weeks to give shots. Thank-you ladies for the extra special effort. - .- '• • • <•• w« ** • '■«*, ^<. ■ ■^*#mM^mmmmmmmm^mmmmmmmmmmt*m*&rr' m ■ mm ZIMMER GOLDEN EAGLE—Mrs. Mary Maroon says this 1983 Zimmer makes driving fun. If she leaves the car in a parking lot, she tries to park in an isolated area to prevent “dings” from other cars. Often “What^**"?” ®^ier^jarount* Zimmer when she returns and gets comments ranging from Zimmer Auto Is Much Admired Locally rrs* MI J E* AINE/ITE. WHlTe: One sure way to make heads turn on Edenton’s Streets is for Mr. and Mrs. Albert Maroon to drive past in their 1983 Zimmer Golden Eagle. The car attracts attention wherever it goes and few others have ever been seen in Chowan County to match its luxury. The car was made in Pompano Beach, Fla., and has 24-karat gold trim and hood ornament (an eagle), mahogany dash and run ning boards, mohair carpet, leather interior, crystal vases in the rear seat, engraved side win dows, and front bucket seats that adjust not only to a more prone position, but also adjust to fit the curves of the passengers’ backs. The Maroons bought the car in Yonkers, N.Y. when they lived in that city and took their Cadillac to a dealer for repairs. The Zimmer was sitting in the dealer’s window and the Maroons fell in love with the car and bought it immediately. Mrs. Maroon says her husband is a “car bug” and was in the business of buying, repairing and selling cars in New York. When the couple moved here after retirement, four years ago, they brought with them a 1928 Ford and a Sunbeam, an English convertible. Mrs. Maroon said they had look ed at an Excalibur, but disliked the lack of room in the rear seat. The Zimmer has rear seat room comparable to most other cars to day, a 302 cubic inch, V-8, Lincoln engine and gets around 20 miles per gallon of gas. Mrs. Maroon is an Edenton native and was the former Mary Habit.
