Which means fundraising efforts are underway to help the non-profit organization return home, said Roger Behn.
The church on Shuswap Avenue is assessed at $90,000 and was insured for twice that. But Behn said preliminary figures from the insurance company suggest the damage is in the range of $200,000. We understood the (insurance) was supposed to be sufficient, he said. But I don t know that anybody could have anticipated the amount of damage the fire would do.
The church s front entrance was destroyed by fire July 12, the second suspicious blaze to strike the building in days. The flames destroyed the museum s offices and caused extensive damage through the interior.

“We are not selling, but almost giving away ladies capes and jackets,” reads a newspaper ad placed by the Bush & Bull Dry Goods store in 1896. The rise of department stores in the latter half of the 19th century was to contribute to some new life style choices for women.

Closing Courthouse for COVID-19 action stalls
Oakridger
CLINTON, Tenn. An attempt to close the Anderson County Courthouse and other county-owned buildings to foot traffic for a period of time due to COVID-19 concerns failed to pass Monday night.
Anderson County Commissioner Catherine Denenberg made the motion to close the Courthouse and other buildings, and fellow commissioner Theresa Scott seconded. Both represent areas of Oak Ridge. Scott explained the measure would apply not just to Anderson County courts, but also other offices such as the Department of Motor Vehicles and the office of Anderson County Clerk Jeff Cole.
Scott shared statistics on deaths and hospitalizations. She said that measures such as requiring masks would not work well enough for preventing the spread of COVID-19.
