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...

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...

Well it is a warm and humid morning here in our little valley. Here on the front porch there is a little breeze blowing but it is warm. The cats were here to eat early this morning, I think they knew that it was going to be hot later. When it gets hot they go and find a cool place. We keep plenty of fresh water out for them and there is usually a little water in the creek for other animals. There probably are a lot of animals that are tied up and can not get to water or shade. We still have not got enough rain, all we have mostly been getting...

July 02, 1953 The main news for the week was that many Hohenwald businesses planned to be closed for the Independence Day holiday. The newspaper reported, “From all indications Hohenwald will be a quiet city on Saturday, July 4th… If you will need groceries over the weekend you had better lay them in store Thursday or Friday, for they will be closed as tight as a jug Saturday…all garages will be closed also, so keep this in mind.” Jesper Jensen was serving in Europe with the U. S. Air Force....
When I was a young adult living under my parents’ roof, my late father always made sure I had Beanee Weenees, Vienna sausage, potted meat and other such snacks to take to my graveyard-shift factory job. Of course, I appreciated the display of paternal love; but Chris van Tulleken, author of “Ultra-Processed People,” would probably be aghast. Granted, van Tulleken is not alone in sounding alarm bells about today’s ultra-processed foods -- groceries characterized by arm-long lists of additiv...
