Tennessee 28th District Update
Sen. Joey Hensley|Nov 23, 2022
Happy Thanksgiving and don’t forget to shop local on Small Business Saturday Thanksgiving is a special and truly American holiday. What started as a shared Autumn harvest among Plymouth colonists and Native Americans has evolved to include family reunions, delicious food, football and parades. But the heart of the holiday remains the acknowledgement to God for his bountiful blessings on our lives, and the precious gift of gathering with friends and family to celebrate. The celebration now r...
Tyrades
Danny Tyree|Nov 23, 2022
Please pardon me, but I am always overcome by mawkish sentimentality at this time of year. I cannot contain my gratitude. I am thankful for a paycheck and sunsets and modern plumbing and mobility and rainbows and warm clothing and good friends and conjunctions and… I am thankful that I can do anything you can do better, I can do anything better than you – except get $% show tunes out of my head. I am thankful for eight-month tick-and-flea collars, because the traumatic monthly sprayings do not...

Lincoln's proclamation made Thanksgiving official
Nov 23, 2022
by Tom Emery The first Thanksgiving is often associated with the Pilgrims. Over two centuries later, President Lincoln was the first to make it official. The official designation of 1863 is the most lasting of the nine proclamations for a day of thanks issued by Lincoln during his presidency. The idea of a thanksgiving was nothing new. On Oct. 3, 1789, George Washington had issued a proclamation for a day of thanksgiving, scheduled for November 26 of that year. It had been celebrated on various days throughout the nation, as many states had...
History of using herbal remedies
Nov 23, 2022
The Lewis County Historical Society met November 7, 2022 with a talk by herbalist Meredith Kotelec who gave an historical review on Southern herbal remedies. She is a Certified Herbal Practitioner and teaches workshops. The history of using plants to treat illness in the South comes from a blending of European settlers, Native Americans, and African slave culture. There were different ways of thinking about healing with the mixing of all these cultures based on the natural land and the people who lived here. The Africans brought us their...

Veterans honored with special program
Amanda Curtis|Nov 17, 2022
by Amanda Curtis, Staff Reporter Lewis County Elementary second grade teacher Jan Ammons said it best when she answered the question, What is a Veteran? "A Veteran is someone who, at some point, has written a check to the United States of America for the amount up to and sometimes including their life." A sense of pride exuded from her as she hosted the 2022 Veterans Day Program at Lewis County Elementary School, and it could be seen and felt throughout the gymnasium. As they do every year,...

South Central Area Fairboard Christmas Parade
Nov 17, 2022
by Amanda Curtis, Staff Reporter In case you haven't been to town lately, I'll just go ahead and warn you. Christmas exploded! And, I say that not in the "Grinch" way, but in the "Elf" way. The Grinches would ask why we're skipping Thanksgiving and putting so much energy into Christmas this early. However, if we (as a community) waited until after Thanksgiving to start decorating, we'd be scrambling to have everything ready in time for The South Central Area Fair Board Christmas Parade,...

Person of the Week
Amanda Spears|Nov 17, 2022
Tonya Long Woodward, 46 When I reached out to Tonya to let her know she had been chosen for the Person Of The Week, she said this is so kind. And I thought to myself, she is the most selfless person I know. She does so much for our community and I know it doesn't go unnoticed. But I feel sometimes we need to be reminded of what all she does do. She is an amazing woman. I know without her and Operation Hope's after school program when my children were growing up, I would have never made it. This...

By Dorothy Warf, Contributing Writer I guess ol’man Winter has finally made the appearance we were all dreading, temperatures have dipped into the low twenties in some areas and probably has caused some water problems for those who the winterizing has not been done to the outside area. I really was not ready for this and especially the drastic change in the temperature. Hopefully this has not had an adverse effect on you and your family. Cars and other modes of transportation also have to be winterized so if you have not done please attend t...

By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a cold fall but winter like morning here in our little valley, the temperature was 29 degrees and with the clouds, it looked like it could snow at anytime. Yesterday it was also cold and we did see a few flurries. I have got my coffee and a I have got a good warm fire going in the old wood heating stove.

Crystal Nash|Nov 17, 2022
November 13, 1952 It was reported that Armistice Day passed quietly in Hohenwald. “As has been the custom for the past several years, Armistic [sic] Day passed almost unnoticed here.

The program would air each Thu...
Tennessee 28th District Update
Sen. Joey Hensley|Nov 17, 2022

These practices are e...
Tyrades
Danny Tyree|Nov 17, 2022
My cousin’s husband owns a funeral home, so I’m anxious to hear his take on a front-page article from the November 4 “Wall Street Journal.” According to the article, morticians are innovating ways to put the “fun” in funeral (including burial plot raffles and “open house” family events featuring food, live music and bouncy houses) – or maybe it was putting the “monument” in monumentally screwed up ideas! I get those mixed up. The article talked about undertakers enticing their potential custo...
Letter to the Editor
Nov 17, 2022
Link Between Covid-19 and Wireless Radiation (RF) Exposure The National Institute of Health (NIH) published a scientific study in 2021 showing “a substantial overlap between Covid-19 and RF exposure”.
