BMS Raceway Ministry in Bristol, TN

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Early in my life, I was excited about Winston Cup racing where I was presented with a wonderful opportunity as a 12yr old newspaper carrier. I was one of five boys who won a contest of getting the most new customers. Mr. Marsh of the Kingsport Times News took us, all expenses paid, to the Indianapolis 500 Race in 1951. Bill Holland won, but Bill Vukivich was killed during the race. Later, in 1957, at the Daytona 500, Fireball Roberts wsa killed. At this point, I began to think that if this is what racing is about, then I didn’t want anything to do with it anymore.

Around 1995, enter my precious friend, Tom Elam, our present Executive Director of Bristol Raceway Ministries. He began to talk to me about working as a volunteer chaplain during the Bristol Motor Speedway races. My responsibility was to share my past experience which has left me reasonably disinterested in the whole racing scene. I said something like, “I don’t have much to do with car racing anymore.” Tom surprised me by telling me that he was looking for people who would do the Chaplain’s work without being distracted by the race. Then Tom asked me this question: “What would Jesus do about these racing events?” My quick response was, “Well, I don’t believe that Jesus would be in here watching the race!” (Even though He might well have been.) After more thought, it sure seemed possible or probable that Jesus would be out among the crowds being accessible and ministering to their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. With this new insight, I realized that GOG did want me to serve and represent Him in this ministry. While I haven’t been a very good chaplain over the last 15yrs, my job has been full of my sweet privilege of being a chaplain for with the BRISTOL RACEWAY MINISTRIES. For this, I am thankful and thank you Tom.

Regards,
Brother Tommy Holtsclaw

My parents are 70 years old and their heat pump stopped working on an evening that the temperature was in the 90’s. They were very uncomfortable and when they called the heat pump installer, they were told that no one could respond until the next day. When my Dad called me I immediately called Jim Leinbach (at 7:34 PM on a Tuesday) and he had service rep Jeff returned my call within minutes and within the next 90 minutes the heat pump was fixed and cooling the home. I would recommend Leinbach Services Inc. to anyone and will not hesitate to call again if my family is ever in need.

Don’t Let Your Dryer Kill You!

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Dryer fires, according to the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, were associated with 15,600 fires, which resulted in 370 injuries and 20 deaths in 1998.
To help prevent fires:
• Clean the lint screen/filter before or after drying each load of clothes. If clothing is still damp at the end of a typical drying cycle or drying requires longer times than normal, this may be a sign that the lint screen or the exhaust duct is blocked.
• Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct periodically. Check the outside dryer vent while the dryer is operating to make sure exhaust air is escaping. If it is not, the vent or the exhaust duct may be blocked. To remove a blockage in the exhaust path, it may be necessary to disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer. Remember to reconnect the ducting to the dryer and outside vent before using the dryer again.
• Clean behind the dryer, where lint can build up. Have a qualified service person clean the interior of the dryer chassis periodically to minimize the amount of lint accumulation. Keep the area around the dryer clean and free of clutter.
• Replace plastic or foil, accordion-type ducting material with rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct. Most manufacturers specify the use of a rigid or corrugated semi-rigid metal duct, which provides maximum airflow. The flexible plastic or foil type duct can more easily trap lint and is more susceptible to kinks or crushing, which can greatly reduce the airflow.
• Take special care when drying clothes that have been soiled with volatile chemicals such as gasoline, cooking oils, cleaning agents, or finishing oils and stains. If possible, wash the clothing more than once to minimize the amount of volatile chemicals on the clothes and, preferably, hang the clothes to dry. If using a dryer, use the lowest heat setting and a drying cycle that has a cool-down period at the end of the cycle. To prevent clothes from igniting after drying, do not leave the dried clothes in the dryer or piled in a laundry basket
