The initial plan for the new jail, without any changes, was an estimated cost of...

By Clint Confehr SUMMERTOWN, Tenn. - The grandmother of a 2-year-old with a birth defect says she's not mad at anyone, nor is she looking to place blame. Tamara Turner just wants to know what's sprayed and when it's sprayed on farm fields here, she said. Nearly 150 neighbors are concerned for their health and complained to the state about crop dusting.

It's Spring, the season that welcomes back salads each year. I usually don't post recipes with kale as an ingredient, as folks stop reading when they see the word "kale". But getting this super-food down is so much easier with this recipe. This salad is sweet, salty, tangy, and crunchy; you won't even notice the kale. Because kale and cabbage don't get soggy, this is a great make-ahead meal. Once tossed, place your salad in a mason jar with a tight lid, and take to work for a great lunch. Pair t...

Prayers for those in Alabama and other places where there was so much damage from tornados. Most days had some rain and was almost impossible to get in ball practices for the little ones, but some did practice in gym and other areas. The season is just getting started as many have games this week. Hopefully it will not be as rainy as last week. Those who are sick or shut-in and in need of prayers...

First off, Louis Armstrong was right about it being a wonderful world. And I realize many people suffer far worse troubles than mine. But still…I would die of shock if I ever experienced 10 consecutive minutes of comfort, serenity and dignity. (Okay, anesthesia gave me two of the three; but instead of Doctors Without Borders, we need to mobilize Procedures Without Hospital Gowns.) Through a combination of overcommitment, aging, Murphy’s Law and innate klutziness, I am a man of constant aggravation. True, I have outgrown zits, dandruff, warts an...

Cagle would retire the Hawks in order, two by...
