"Breezy recording released Brad Jones began singing when he was only six years old. He used a hairbrush for a microphone, much to the amusement of his family and their neighbors. But by the time he graduated from A.C. Reynolds High School in 1979, he had moved on to bigger things and sang "My Way" at his graduation. It was the first time that he had sung in public and his brother. Scott, came forward to congratulate him on the performance. A sad occasion for Brad to sing that song again occurred several years later when he sang it at Scott's funeral after he had been killed in a car crash. In the meantime, though, Brad was singing at fund raisers, es pecially for the National Kidney Foundation. Brad was bom with only one kidney, and so he has a personal interest in the work of the Foundation. Despite warnings by his doctors, he not only took in athletic activities in high school, but excelled in them. While singing at a wedding, Brad met Big Freada Wallace who liked his talent. She became his mentor and is the producer of this first album that was released late last month in Asheville. It was recorded at Wes Sound Shop and is the first contemporary record done there. William Ed Swann is the owner and was the engineer for the recording. His recording studio has been in Ashe ville seven years and specialize^ in good Gospel music. He is enthusias tic about "Breezy." Help came from other sources. Billy Edd Wheeler of Swannanoa was the Honorary Consultant for the album. Larry Smith of Swannanoa co-authored the tide tune, "Breezy" with Brad, for the album. And Tammy Rene Freeman, a junior at Owen High School, is the model for the album cover photographed by Martin Fox. Ex ecutive producers for the recording are Leland and Nora Jones. The back-up was done by "The Nashville String Machine" who have been back-ups for "Alabama." Nick Bruno, formerly of Swannanoa and now also from Nashville had a hand in the project, too. Brad has an aunt, Lois Brotherton Jones, and a sister, Vickie Gaddy who live in Swannanoa. They were beaming with pride at the "wrap up" party held to celebrate the completion of the record. And from. the sound of the master tape, the NEWS thinks that Brad has a bright future in the music business. If talent and determination count. Brad should do all right. resignation of member Robert Fisher carried. After discussion centering on having a recommendation from the Board of Adjustments, before a vote was taken Atdermen Fox and Stafford voted to tabie white King and Bartiett voted against the motion. Mayor Sobot cast the deciding vote as Atderman Begtey was absent from that portion of the meeting. The board atso voted to pass budget amendments 1-4 unanimousty. These amendments concerned the transfer of funds from one account to another upon recommendation of the auditor for more efficiency. A paving contract for work to be done on Hiawassee is to be tet this month, but the actuat work is not expected to begin untit spring. Paving on North Fork and Rhodo dendron have been assigned tower priori ties by the state DOT. The board voted unanimousty to accept the report of the Recreation Commission presenter) at the August meeting. Director Bob Antozzi was commended for his good work in the past year. Puhtic hearings are scheduted for the next meeting of the Atdermen on estab tishment of the Town Administrator rather than Town Manager. The brief meeting began at 7:30 p.m. and ended at 8:)0 p.m. when the board went into a short executive session to discuss personne) matters pertaining to the Recreation Department.

Adjournment came at 8:40 p.m. The next regularly scheduted meeting is at 7:30 p.m. in the Town Ha)) on Monday, Oct. )0. f/nnecf !%y and Rnncombe County 1983 Campaign Begins hy Priscilla Hopkins The United Way Campaign of Asheville and Buncombe County, Inc. kicked off its 1983 fund raising campaign with a ieaders' luncheon hetd at noon at the Great Smokies Ijlilton on Wednesday. Sept. 14. The program was emceed hy Elizabeth Carothers and John O'Connor of WLOS-TV Channe) I3's PM Magazine. The 1983 theme "Working Wonders" was put to music hy internationally known Howard Hange Hazz Fantasy who performed as part of the program. Campaign chairman Walt Cladding urged workers to work harder than ever this year. "People." a multi-media presentation, showed how 35 Buncombe County organi zations utilize the funds they receive annually from the United Way. Among those agencies is the Asheville Lions Club Eye Clinic whose many services include glaucoma screenings for businesses, industries, and other interest ed sponsoring groups, supplying visual aids, to the visually impaired and the collection of used eye glass frames for recycling. Diane Fuller, R.N., joined the program in June of 1982, hut one of her jobs that she especially likes is visiting clients with vision problems in their homes for an evaluation of their needs that is followed up with recommendations for specific visual aids that will he helpful for individual activities. "Our clients usually come to us via a referral from a health professional," Ms. Fuller said, "but people can call the clinic directly at 252-5706. We prefer that they see a specialist first to make sure that there is no on going eye disease and that everything that can be done, has been done." Mrs. Lucille Bannerman, widow of a former president of Warren Wilson Col tege has been hetped with the tow vision aid program. She had been referred hy her doctor. With thehetp of a hand-hetd manifier and ntagnifving spectactes, she is ahte to take care of such persona) business as hatancing her check book, paving bibs, writing tetters and reading for pteasure. Mrs. Bannerman a)so said that the magnifier hetps her read stove and oven settings when she is cooking. She agreed that she is ahte to maintain her styte of independent tiving because of these aids. "Many peopte think that such services are ontv for those who have financiat probtems," but this is not so. United Way agencies provide services for peopte from att watks of tife. Service is the 4;ev word, she stressed, to meet needs whether finanoal nr otherwise. Mrs. Fuller said that seeing her ctients in the home environment is most im portant because there they are relaxed and can show her the things they actually do on a day by day basis. "! can also evaluate-the lighting and make sugges tions about how to improve it if neces sary," she said. Mrs. Bannerman cautioned against ordering so-called visual aids through catalogues. She had done so and found them worthless. "! just wasted my money," she said, "and I don't want others to do that." In addition to the aids already men tioned. both women said that there are an iltuminarv stand magnifier and a head born magnifier available. Also, some devices can electronically enlarge images on a screen for the visually impaired. Both said that many public libraries have large print honks as do some churches. United Way holds out a helping hand to manv people in a variety of circumstances. So when you are asked to participate by a campaign worker this year, he as gener ous as you can--you could be helping a neighbor here in the Valley. f):anc Fa//er.
