World Class Vehicles, Home Town Values
Phil Bachman Toyota is enjoying its thirtieth year of helping customers find and maintain world-class cars to fit their needs. Starting the dealership in 1976, Phil and his family
are still active in the company today. The dealership has seen exciting recent growth,
thanks to Phil’s enthusiasm, the guidance of General Manager Bill Benton, and help of
each employee. The franchise offers the trendy Scion brand and has expanded its used car
facilities.
Phil Bachman Toyota promotes honesty and integrity and offers the friendliest car-buying experience in the area. The dealership believes that shopping for a car should not be
over-hyped or uncomfortable. It likewise feels that obtaining Toyota service and parts
should be as convenient as possible.
The dealership and the Bachman family strongly believe in giving back to the community. The Bachmans are active in their church, participate in Greeneville’s Rotary Club and
donate to Tusculum College. Similarly, the dealership sponsors the Johnson City Cardinals,
as well as local youth baseball leagues and several employees’ church groups. It is Phil
Bachman Toyota’s goal to serve to the best of its ability anyone shopping for an automobile
or needing Toyota service work, all the while standing for values close to home.

Home Instead Senior Care began with a dream
My name is Sandra Smith and I had a dream. How I was going to realize
my dream of helping the elderly remain independent in their own homes and
use my years of training and working with the elderly was only a dream until
I read an article in Woman’s World Magazine in 1998 listing the Top 10 businesses for women in one of their issues. Home Instead Senior Care — a nonmedical home-based companionship and home helper service — out of
Omaha, Neb., was listed as a way to help seniors and an opportunity to start
a business. I called the number listed and talked with the franchise department and as they say, the rest is history.
The next March saw me and my son, Rick, in Omaha in training to learn
the philosophy, history and principles of Home Instead Senior Care. We left
my husband, George, at home to finish preparations for our opening and
keep the home fires burning. I was most impressed with their philosophy on
caregiving — properly hired, screened and bonded caregivers, beginning with
a large dose of love and care. Take care of them and they will take care of
the people who need help. Now that was a novel idea to many people and still
is, but that was exactly what I had always believed. I was completely sold and
remain sold to this day.
Rick and I started our business in Gray in April of 1999 with the strong
support of my husband, George, who is co-owner and runs our Blountville
office. Our goal is to help seniors stay in their homes as long as possible by
offering these supportive services. We are proud of our progress. Our business is still thriving — using the integrity and goals set up by the organization. We employ an average of 130 to 150 people, with many of them being
over the age of 55. Their experience and caring reflect our philosophy and
that of our company.
Today, our family runs two local offices that provide trained, licensed and
bonded caregivers who help with things like companionship, light housekeeping, meal preparation, incidental transportation, and a variety of non-medical
tasks that will allow an aging person to remain at home. Services are available from just a few hours per day up to 24 hours per day including overnight
stays.
Our office locations are in Jonesborough, providing coverage to Johnson
City, Greeneville, Elizabethton and surrounding areas, and in Blountville, providing coverage to Rogersville, Kingsport, Bristol, Abingdon and surrounding
areas. Contact can be made by calling one of our offices: Blountville (423)

appear — your choice of two
meats and every vegetable

There’s no need to rush away
after the meal, the comfortable benches on the restaurant’s wide porch provides a
great place to listen to the live
music, usually bluegrass or
gospel and converse with
friends. You are likely to run
into someone you know.
There’s also a small gift shop
that diners may want to
browse before departing.
A meal at Shirley’s is an

And extraordinary people – the wonderful thing about Arbonne is that it’a not
just about fabulous products; it’s also about great people. The Arbonne family
is made up of many thousands of individuals working to make their dreams
come true. Arbonne offers a uniquie opportunity that can help make anyone’s
vision for the future a reality.
Locally, those making their vision for the future a reality with Arbonne are:
EXECUTIVE AREA MANAGER, April Kandel: Arbonne ....My gift to my community, my family, and my friends. Arbonne International has become my family’s
way to make changes in our lives and so many others. My personal passion and ministry are to help women. This defines my role as a stay-at-home mom and a
successful business owner with Arbonne. I launched my business of sharing the Arbonne gift with others just last year and now I have passed myhusband’s current income, giving him the liberty he needs to pursue his helicopter flying fream. Arbonne is helping me to plan my family’s dreams again and with God as my number one business partner, Arbonne is becoming a tool I can use to reach women and share His love and grace. We are able to give financially to those missionary
friends we graduated with from Moody Aviation and many others. And because I have shared this gift of Arbonne in such a life-changing way, Arbonne is going to
pay me to drive a brand new white Mercedes Benz of my choice! I wasn’t looking for Arbonne when this company found me, but how thankful I am that our family
has found a way to make a change in our lifestyle and so many others!!! “Helping others learn to dream again”
April & John Kandel, 423-213-0395 • www.kandelandco.myarbonne.com
EXECUTIVE AREA MANAGER, Cindy Wilson: WE are building a business together and loving it! Cindy is a Supervisor of Transcription with Appalachian
Orthopaedics and Powell, her husband is retired after 29 years with Great Lakes Research. Our Arbonne business will allow Cindy to retire early and realize our
dreams of providing support to missionaries we are already actively associated with. “Let us show you a wonderful opportunity to meet your future goals.”
Cindy & Powell Wilson, 423-542-8105 or 423-677-1749 • cwpwilson@charter.net
AREA MANAGER, Penny Rutledge: We finally found skin care and wellness products that actually work and are safe, pure, and beneficial! After trying many skin
care programs in the past that I was either allergic to or had less than satisfying results, I am in awe to see immediate results with the Arbonne products! And that’s
when I found that Arbonne offers an exceptional opportunity to earn a highly lucrative income, even on a part-time basis. Being in medical office administration for 20+
years managing, training and teaching has allowed me to use my God given talents, skills and abilities to make a difference in other people’s lives. However Arbonne
had given Dan & I another avenue to share, teach, train and empower others to achieve their personal dreams and goals with a passion for the products, the programs,
personal growth and development, and of course, the compensensation! “Sharing, teaching, training, and empowering others to reach their fullest potential.”

three? What would happen if you
were unable to work for a year or
more? The simple fact is that most
of us don't have the cash reserves
to weather an unexpected loss of
income in the event a serious injury or illness prevents us from
working. And besides, you don't
want to deplete the money you've

Elizabethton Star…Dates Back To Civil War Era
The history of the Elizabethton STAR
Newspaper traces directly back to The
Mountaineer, a newspaper established in 1864.
The Mountaineer, which as far as is known,
was the first newspaper in Upper East
Tennessee. The Mountaineer was published until
about 1908 when publication ceased.
The Carter County Banner was started in
1908, the same year The Mountaineer discontinued, by Bert Tipton. Tipton published the Carter
County Banner until 1914 and it changed owners
several times between then and 1928 when
Frank Lovette changed the name to the
Elizabethton Daily Star. In 1946, under the ownership of Stillman Evans of Nashville, W.S.
Waddell was named Publisher and Editor and the
first issue of the ELIZABETHTON STAR was
printed on April 6, 1946.
The corner of Main St. and First St. was home
to the old Mountaineer, the Carter County Banner,
the Elizabethton Daily Star and the ELIZABETHTON STAR up until August 31, 1950. Then following a fire in the building the newspaper moved to
its present location on Sycamore Street.
On June 24, 1953, Carmage Walls acquired
the newspaper and formed the firm of
Elizabethton Newspapers, Inc. naming Howard
Zombro as Publisher.
On October 1, 1955, Frank Robinson was
named Publisher and in 1977 Robinson purchased the newspaper, becoming the sole owner.
On October 1, 1980, his son, Charles
Robinson, was named Publisher. After the death
of Charles on July 7, 2004, Mr. Frank Robinson
returned as Publisher and continues to be family
owned.

you don't work in a high-risk occupation, right? So what's the

According to a Gallup survey,
most people estimate they have

that a 35-year-old individual has a
50 percent chance of incurring a

Crawford Drywall
and
Lynn Valley Decorating Center
are two separate businesses under one roof
Owned and operated by Bill and Virginia Crawford
Crawford Drywall was started
in the Washington, D.C. area in
1960 before moving to Elizabethton
in 1969. It began as a primarily residental drywall company but has
expanded over the past 46 years to
solely commercial work. They
install drywall, metal studs, ceilings, floors, as well as other areas
of construction. The office is run
by family members and the company presently employs approximately 65 people, some of whom
have been employed as long as 45
years. Hours of operation are
Monday - Friday from 7:30 - 5:00.
Lynn Valley Decorating Center
is a retail decorating store that originally began as a grocery store.
Formerly known as Lynn Valley
Market, the store offered a more
convenient location for grocery
shopping to those in Lynn Valley
and Stoney Creek Communities. It
was operated by the Crawfords
from 1974-1975. It was at that time
that they decided to sell out of the
grocery business and go into retail
decorating.
Known today as Lynn Valley
Deocrating Center, the store offers a
wide variety of decorating needs
such as carpet (by Mohawk, Shaw &
Beaulieu), vinyl flooring (by
Armstrong,
Mannington
&
Congoleum), wood flooring (by
Bruce, Tarkett & Hartco), laminate
wood flooring (by Quick-Step,
Mohawk & Witex), and ceramic tile
(by World Class Tile, Interceramic
and Dal-tile). Many of these products are in stock. Professional installation is available.
The decorating store also carries
hundreds of styles of wallpaper and
wallpaper border in stock but can
order from books if the customer
doesn’t find what they’re looking for
in stock. Hours of Operation are
Monday - Friday from 8:30 - 5:00.
The Crawfords feel that the best
means of advertisement is that
which is done by word of mouth
by satisfied customers. They have
always operated their businesses
on Godly principles and give
God the glory for the success.
