AS THE RESULT OF NEW TIGHTER STATE REGULATIONS, ANOTHER TRI CITIES AREA CHURCH-OPERATED DAY CARE CENTER HAS HAD TO CLOSE ITS DOORS. PASTOR RON LOWE, WITH KINGSPORT COMMUNITY CHURCH WHICH HAS OPERATED THE “LITTLE LAMB” DAYCARE FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, IS THE THIRD SUCH FACILITY TO SHUT DOWN WITHIN THE PAST THREE WEEKS.

THE NEW CHANGES AROSE FOLLOWING A COUPLE OF FATAL NURSING HOME FIRES IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE. PASTOR LOWE SAYS HE’S CONTACTED LOCAL GOVERNMENT LEADERS, BUT DOESN’T ANTICIPATE ANY CHANGES IN THE REGULATIONS. MEANWHILE, STATE REPRESENTATIVE NATHAN VAUGHN OF KINGSPORT IS SYMPATHETIC TO THE PREDICAMENT, BUT SAYS IT’S A CATCH 22 SITUATION.lowe.mp3
