Memorial Day marks start of outdoor worship services Submitted report Another season of outdoor worship in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park begins with Memorial Day weekend and continues through Labor Day. This ministry is supported by 40 denominations nationwide and is called A Christian Ministry in the National Park. It was brought to the Smokies when George Fry served as superintendent. It is coordinated by a local support committee whose chair is Pastor Arne Walker. The student ministers are recruited by the national office located in Denver. The students work in the community. They are reimbursed for mileage and receive a small honorarium at the close of the season. All of the ministries follow federal guidelines. Services are held at Elkmont each Sunday at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. and at Cades Cove at 10 a.m. A guided devotional walk is held at Cosby at 6 p.m. Verbal invitations are issued an hour to an hour and a half before service
times. Locals are always welcome to attend. Mount LeConte is an exception to this schedule. From Easter to Thanksgiving a sunrise outdoor service and a 9:30 a.m. service in the lodge are held. Local financial and prayer support is encouraged.

Most people are aware that the April 15 tax filing deadline has passed. The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers that scammers are aware, too, and may send officiallooking e-mails to phish for private information. “The IRS doesn’t ever send e-mails about your taxes,� said IRS spokesman Dan Boone. “If you filed your tax return recently, don’t let a scam e-mail trick you into thinking the IRS is contacting you about it.� Boone said nearly 70 percent of Tennesseans e-filed their returns last year, and because electronic tax filing is so common, people may wrongly assume the IRS will contact them online about their taxes. But the IRS never sends private taxpayer information by e-mail and will never ask for it that way, he said. “If you filed electronically, you probably will get a confirmation e-mail from your tax software company but not directly from the IRS,� Boone said. According to Boone, phishing is close to the top of the IRS’ 2010 Dirty Dorothy Manning; sister-in-law, Dozen Tax Scams list and

these scam e-mails often are very convincing. They may say that a review of your taxes that has resulted in a refund or they may threaten you with an audit or investigation if you fail to respond. They may even include your name. Boone also cautioned that clicking on links in scam e-mails or opening attachments may expose your computer to malicious code that will infect it. Information is available at www.IRS.gov about how to assist the IRS in battling these scammers by forwarding the scam e-mails to the agency with the encoding still intact. Important information is also available for anyone who has responded to a scam e-mail by giving out private information. Taxpayers are encouraged to read the entire 2010 Dirty Dozen Tax Scams list at IRS.gov so as not to become victims of or unintended participants in a tax scam.
