By Evelyn “E.T.” Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a beautiful and sunny, but windy and still cold morning. I have a fire in the old wood heating stove and I can smell the smoke drifting in the wind. I’ve got my cup of hot coffee. The cats are playing in the sunshine. The days are getting warmer and I am ready for spring. And I’m hoping and praying for a better year. March 3 was one year since the tornadoes hit, causing so much damage - people were homeless, sick and sad. Then the pandemic hit - what would people do? Well people...

Sure, it made the rounds of the “News of the Weird” columns when a Nashville businessman left $5 million in a trust fund for his beloved border collie Lulu; but such gestures aren’t as eccentric as you might think. Many estate plan experts now include pet planning as part of the comprehensive services they offer. (“That takes care of your rare cockatoo and your thoroughbred racehorses. Now surely you’ll want to upgrade to the premium plan and maintain your GUT BACTERIA in the manner to which they’ve become accustomed?”) Really, you’re just d...
by Deborah Gibson During the pandemic, members of local and state governing bodies have been allowed to conduct meetings electronically per executive order by Gov. Bill Lee. They have not had to hold physical meetings in a physical place. They can hold meetings on Zoom or even by telephone conference call, as long as they allow the public real-time live audio or video access and follow other rules. In some instances, this has meant that the governing body is on videoconference, and the public must show up physically at city hall to watch them...
In house committees this past week, the Truth and sentencing reform advances. House Bill 1047 requires any person convicted of violent or sexual offenses that historically target women and children to serve their full sentencing term as assigned by a jury or judge. While the legislation does not remove judicial discretion, it ensures that parole or probation are not options for those found guilty of crimes that fall into these categories of offenses. If passed, it strengthens protections for...
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved legislation during the week of March 1st allowing Tennesseans to exercise their constitutional right to carry firearms without a permit, while cracking down on criminals who steal guns or possess them illegally.

It is part of Governor Bill Lee’s...
The Lewis County Middle School Panther baseball team hosted the East Hickman Eagles on Friday, March 5th for their first home game of the season. Jalen Smith took the mound for the Panthers in the second matchup between the two teams. After a leadoff walk, Smith struck out the second batter of the inning before giving up a single. A one-out fielder’s choice put runners at the corners with 2 outs, and East Hickman picked up 2 runs on a towering triple to left before Smith was able to pitch out of the inning and the Panthers trailed 2-0. Steele M...

The Lady Panthers dropped the two regular season meetings with Fairview and needed a win to keep their season alive.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has sounded the alarm on the risks of fentanyl several times, but officials said drug users seem to ignore the warnings and public advisories. Assistant Director T.J. Jordan of the Drug Investigation Division said addicts are wanting stronger drugs for a better high despite the growing number of opioid-related deaths in Tennessee. “It’s a poison that will absolutely kill you and people know it will kill you, but yet the drug user is looking for that high so bad they’re willing to go to the drastic measure o...
