The City of Hohenwald and Lewis County has one more thing to be proud of: our county government secured a $2.5 million grant from the state to refurbish the surface of the aging runway. "Paul Bridges and Rob Rawdon probably had more to do with this package than anyone," said Johnny Clayton. "They have been working on it for a number of years, and the town and the county are extremely grateful for this kind of money... $2.5 million is a lot of money to come to a small county". But was it free we...

Summer spells all things delicious. The vegetables are coming in from the garden, and the fruit is ripe for the picking. I enjoy the flavors this time of year, and there is no limit to what one can create given the bounty of the season. This cake is a tropical, tender-crumbed loaf, with amazing flavor. If you like cakes less sweet, cut the sugar to 3/4 cup. You can also add a few small pieces of chopped, dried pineapple to increase the tropical flavor. This will be my last recipe submission,...

Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley, seems unusually cool for this time of year. The cats have had their breakfast and are snuggled back into their beds for a nice cat nap. This morning I’m really enjoying my cup of hot coffee. I love these cool mornings. The old apple tree in the yard is so full of apples, the limbs are bent over and almost touching the ground. I saw some squirrels getting them some apples that had fallen on the ground from the high wind we had. Well everything to me seems to be a little different, maybe it i...
I guess you could say ol’ man winter has come once again to remind us that summer is not here. The temperatures dipped into the thirties for a couple of nights and in the forties for several nights in the area but the days, except for one or two, were nice with temperatures getting into the seventies. With the arrival of June maybe we will have some warmer temperatures even at night and I know that once it gets hot day and night we will complain that it is too hot, that is human nature-to complain. Those who are sick or shut-in and in need o...

If people complain of burning eyes or throat while swimming, it's not necessarily a problem of too much chlorine sanitizer, but could be caused by poor overall pool...
With the school year ending and the economy slowly reopening, let’s reminisce about the illustrious history of summer jobs. I’m sure many of you worked your way through high school and college by flipping burgers, mowing lawns, performing lifeguard duties, working on an assembly line (I worked three summers in a cosmetics factory) or clerking in a retail store. Or maybe you considered yourself part of show business while being paid to stand in front of an establishment twirling a sign. (I must confess I’ve never stopped at a business solel...
