The Local Skinny! United Way Yard Sale

Whether you’re de-cluttering with a purpose, or whether you are finally taking a moment to clean out the garage or closet, Desiree Brooks says the items you are parting with be a big help to the community.

Bring your gently used furniture, home décor items, electronics, baby and kid items and more to the United Way office this Friday in advance of a yard sale to raise money for nonprofit agencies.

Brooks is president of the local United Way, which supports nonprofits in Vance and Warren counties. This group is 100 percent volunteer organization, and though COVID-19 derailed yard sales for the past couple of years, Brooks told John C. Rose on Monday’s The Local Skinny! that the agency is getting back into the swing of things.

Volunteers will happily accept donations between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 16 at the United Way office, located at 715 S. Garnett St.

“All the money stays local,” Brooks said, and encourages the community to make their donations – either with goods for the yard sale or by visiting https://unitedwayvance.org/united and clicking on the Give button. The yard sale itself will be held Saturday, Sept. 24 at the United Way office on Garnett Street.

Previous yard sales have netted a couple of thousand dollars for United Way, which in turn allocates money to area agencies. “We want to be able to allocate more,” Brooks said. “We realize the organizations depend on grants…we want these fundraisers to be as successful as possible.”

The Local Skinny! When Trains Rumbled Along Corbitt Road

Sometimes it’s fun to just listen.

Listen and remember times gone by, through the eyes – and voices – of those who are no longer here.

Thursday’s The Local Skinny! segment is a remembrance of two much-loved subjects around here at the radio station: Trains. And John D. Rose, III.

John C. Rose played a clip for TownTalk guest Tom Burleson about Burleson’s father, Gilliam, as told by John C. Rose’s dad, who was recalling covering a Henderson City Council meeting.

Here’s the gist of the story, but treat yourself and go listen to the audio at wizs.com:

Although the trains were no longer crossing Garnett Street at Corbitt Road, across from the corner lot where the Burleson family lived, “they did have lights, bells and crossing gates across Garnett Street,” Rose recounted in the clip. “Gilliam comes to the city council meeting one night (to say that) due to malfunction, about 3 o’clock one morning, the lights and bells go off at the crossing, which of course wakes Mr. Burleson up,” Rose said, his chuckles escalating to laughter.

“I got to laughing so hard I had to go out of the room for awhile…and Mr. Burleson was up there describing the outrages that he was having to put up with at his residence,” Rose continued. When the police called the railroad’s home office to find out how to disable the offending equipment, came back a written reply that the railroad didn’t know it even had such equipment in Henderson. Long story short, the senior Rose said, “nothing was ever done about it until the railroad company finally took up the railroad tracks and when they did, they took the lights and bells with them.”
