Enon mayor urges voters to support police with tax levy on ballot The village of Enon has a property tax appearing on the ballot that if passed, will keep their police department running. A 1.75-mill property tax levy will help keep the town's police department in business for the next five years, costing taxpayers $61 dollars per $100,000 appraised property value. Germantown Fire & EMS facing uncertain future with levy on ballot Germantown's fire department is stuck in a tough spot — it's been 15 years since their last levy passed and this year, that funding levy from 2010 expires. Currently, the station operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but a cut in funding this significant — to the tune of $630,000 out of their $1.3 million budget — could leave the station only operating 12 hours out of the day. Sidney seeking new tax increase to improve roads, infrastructure Sidney is looking to keep its roads safe and up to date this election day, with a street levy that would also help balance the city's budget. The levy itself isn't new to voters — in 2014, a five-year levy was passed at 0.25 percent levy on income, expiring in 2019. A 0.15 percent levy was then approved instead of another 0.25. This year, the city is looking to return to the status quo by bumping the tax back up to 0.25 percent. Sugarcreek Twp. levy would ensure emergency services for growing community The Sugarcreek Township Fire Department says they have not come to voters for funds in 10 years — but now, they need help to support their service to a growing community.

Jonesborough church destroyed in Helene getting closer to rebuilding
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WJHL) — A church in Jonesborough is working to rebuild after Hurricane Helene floodwaters devastated the inside of the building. Enon Baptist Church partnered with the neighboring Trinity Baptist Church on Saturday for a night of Southern gospel to raise funds for Enon's reconstruction. So far, the church has collected over $850,000 in donations. Enon Baptist Church Pastor Keith Malone said the idea of a benefit concert came from members of his former church, who had heard about the devastation and wanted to help. Creation Kingdom Zoo announces closure after 17 years 'Yeah, we have been very blessed, I had some old friends from our past church that reached out to me right after we heard they heard that the church had been flooded, and they had a gospel group their whole life with their parents and said that they wanted to do a benefit concert. And I said, 'Well, hallelujah, we'll do it when you wonder how quick you want,'' he said. After the shock of the storm subsided, Malone said donations to his church began to pour in. 'And the donations started from the very beginning, right after the flood,' he said. 'And to this point, we have raised 354,000 as of this afternoon (at the concert), plus a $500,000 grant from Samaritan's Purse. So we are so blessed to have over $850,000 already. And we just turned all of the preliminary drawings back into our architect.' Crystal River Boys, Celestial City and the Slagle family performed at the benefit concert. 'And so, we're so grateful to watch God use our other brothers and sisters in Christ to put our church back in our community,' Malone said. Enon Baptist Church is still accepting donations through Venmo to @csEnonbaptist. Donations can also be mailed to P.O. Box 206, Jonesborough, Tennessee 37659.
