By Dorothy Warf, Contributing Writer Once again, we are having weather suited to the season of fall nearing winter, the weather people forecast for next week cold temperatures and more rain on some days. We have had rain scattered around for the last few days and it will come and go from time to time. The leaves have been falling by the wagon loads as some have said, you can rake, mow, or blow them away and the next day they are back, it will soon be time that they will all be off the trees and then maybe we can get them all moved from the...

By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a beautiful and quiet fall morning here in our little valley. It is a little cool but I am sitting on my front porch and it is so quiet and peaceful, I know before long in the mornings I will not be able to sit out here on the front porch because it will soon be wintertime and it will be far to cold to be out here, then I will be sitting inside by the old wood heating stove with a good warm fire going. The cats have had their breakfast and they are snuggled down for a nap, they sleep more...

Murphy’s Law being what it is, whether you’re talking about a surprise party, a romantic getaway or visiting an acquaintance in the hospital, good intentions don’t always pan out. The same goes for the intention to carry out a proper observation of Veterans Day. Sometimes work/family obligations, ill health or inclement weather stand in the way of attending a public ceremony honoring our nation’s veterans. “Maybe next year” is the lament of too many of us. Imagine my delight when a Google search...

Daylight saving time ends November 6
Nov 3, 2022
Get ready to fall back into longer nights starting Sunday, November 6, at 2 a.m. when Daylight Saving Time concludes and clocks turn back an hour. However, the future of daylight saving time nationwide is uncertain. In 2019, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a law scrapping the twice-a-year time shift, but the state law won’t take effect unless Congress first passes a federal law allowing states to observe daylight saving year-round. The U.S. Senate voted unanimously to pass the Sunshine Protection Action of 2021 on March 15. The bill now a...

I’m proud of my son Gideon for doing his civic duty and casting a vote for the first time. (This comes mere months after he did his civic duty and signed up for Selective Service. And, would you believe it, not one of the candidates for dogcatcher was remotely prepared to answer his questions about their position on reinstating the draft! What has become of the true statesmen???) It was an especially meaningful milestone because local early voting takes place at the multi-use building that forme...

Whatever the reason, many...
