“We are the Cubs from Den 3/And no one could be prouder/If you cannot hear our shout/We’ll yell a little LOUDER.” That chant from my Cub Scout pack-meeting days comes to mind as I explore the issue of moderation-challenged speakers, or, as the prestigious American Psychiatric Association clinically labels them, “bozos who wouldn’t know an indoor voice if it bit them on the rear.” Surely you could name some loud talkers. Maybe you ARE a loud talker. When you overhear people whispering...
I am very grateful to Lewis County for mowing along the sides of our roads rather than spraying poison to kill the roadside plants. The mowing protects the workers, protects our ground water, protects the wild life, insects and birds. I also want to thank the folks who manage to drive those big machines along the busy highways. I realize it takes a lot of skill. Jan Tache Hohenwald...

By Bill Carey I saw recently that the old Genesco headquarters building in Nashville will be razed to make way for the umpteenth expansion of the Metro Nashville Airport. I know the tear-down is inevitable because no private company has shown interest in occupying the building for a long time. But before it's gone, I'd like to remind everyone what a big deal it was when it was built. Genesco was, at one time, one of the largest employers in Tennessee. At its peak around 1960, it had shoe...

Pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport, and it's now available to play in Lewis County thanks to local residents, Dave and Dale Martin, and Park Director, Randall Hinson. Several months ago the Martin's approached Director Hinson about creating two Pickleball Courts where the old tennis courts used to be inside the park, and he and the Park Board gave the Martin's their blessing to proceed with the project. The Martin's then donated many hours of their time and personal equipment to lay...
The term "Rosenwald Schools" refers to approximately 5,000 structures built across the Southeast between 1912 and 1932 as part of a matching grant program and initial partnership between Booker T. Washington, the black president of the Tuskegee Institute, and Julius Rosenwald, the Jewish philanthropist and president of Sears, Roebuck, and Co. At the program's core was the idea that Rosenwald, black and white local community members, and state and local governments would all contribute to raise...

In the ever evolving realm of pop culture vintage toys from the ‘70s and ‘80s hold an unrivaled position of prominence. They possess an enigmatic charm that transports us back to simpler days of Saturday morning cartoons and absence of internet. Today, we find ourselves amidst a resurgence in the collectibility of these nostalgic treasures, with vintage Star Wars and G.I. Joe action figures leading the charge. Lets jump into our X-wing fighters and delve into the question of why these two toy lines have stood the test of time. “May the Force...
I thought Cody Mitchell made some excellent points in his June 22nd letter to the editor about what should unite us. When it comes to gun safety and gun violence, there’s no doubt that we need to see things from other points of view so we’ll understand another person’s concerns. Our feelings might motivate us to action, but the actions we take need to be based on wherever the facts lead us. There are certainly differences between rural and urban experiences, but living in a populated area doesn’t guarantee that emergency services will arrive...

The 113th General Assembly has adjourned for 2023, and it was a very successful year. We have taken measures for Tennessee to be a better place to live, work and to raise a family.
