Please, does anyone know what is in Tennessee Codes Annotated 52-2-110? When I look in the places I know online, such as (link...) or Michie's section at LexisNexis, both titles 51 and 52 are just marked "Reserved," with no details.

Here's a poster I was asked to put up for the Hoedown at Fort Southwest Point that will benefit the Southwest Point DAR's Tree Project:

The Southwest Point Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is having a "HOEDOWN" on Saturday, September 27, from 6 until 10 pm at Fort Southwest Point in Kingston.

The Hoedown features live music from two bands, one bluegrass and the other country. There will be dancing, a cakewalk, kids' games, and lots of fun for the whole family. Refreshments will be served, including pinto beans, cornbread, hot dogs, drinks, and desserts.

Another site - aimed at taking care of immediate needs as Tennesseans care for thousands of evacuees who are already in Tennessee. These people have arrived by train and plane, and some have self-evacuated. Tennessee charities and service organizations are already strained to care for our guests. We are the Volunteer State. We can act accordingly by donating at this site as well.

... or arbitrarily and unfairly?

State layoffs have started because of state budget woes.

WBIR.COM reports on this, and the firings started in the state Dept of Human Services.

What ever happen to the stop sign or the yield sign at Exit 356A? Vechiles fly off the I-40W ramp right on to Gallaher Road with out even slowing. Sure have seen some close calls at that site.

The deadline to get your favorite recipes in the West Roane County Volunteer Fire Department's "Roane County Favorites Cookbook" project is August 25. Email your recipes to cookbook@westroane.com. See (link...) for details, thanks!

Well, they've got into a legal pissing match, it would appear.

Babahatchie Community Band is scheduled to have its annual Music 'N Melons in the Park concert on Sunday, August 24, at 4:00 PM. This celebration of the latter part of summer has been going on for nearly 20 years. They play a cool concert, then everybody has cold watermelon!

Please Dear god someone help me to understand, what they are trying to do, why Mark Pwoers is involved in the HUB if he works for TTC, I dont get it ?
Maybe change is needed but to take direction from a guy who runs a school. And actually not a very funtional school there drop out rate is ridiculious, nursing class starts with 26 students and 10 graduate,,,,sure i want to sign up. Fix things in your own home before you pass judgement on your neighbors

Since moving to the area 2 years ago, i could not figure why all the abandon shopping center, why the town of Harriman looks like a ghost town, and most importantly why there is no growth or development of job for people living in the area. I stumbled upon a bicential calender of Harriman, that dates all the history and happenings of a once very prosperious city WHAT HAPPENED,,,why did it die, and why do elected officials, continue to stun the development. I am not say lets go crazy, but with gas prices being outradious and we have a fully functional RR system why not bring in some industry, why not bring in jobs, why not make this a place people are proud of I just dont get it, Sevierville, Farragut, Turkey Creek,,,all are alive, Roane County is in need of some serious LIFE SUPPORT
Someone told me they want to make Roane County a "retirement community"
Retired people are not DEAD,,,and who would live in an area where the biggest growth development is in METH LABS, and the selling of prescription drugs and food stamps

9 AM: Signup for the Andersonville Volunteer Fire Department Annual Poker Run in Clinton at Tommy’s Motorsports, 2401 Andersonville Hwy.

11:00 AM: First bike out
Noon: Last bike out
Cars are welcome and will leave after the last bike.

David Webb Riverfront Park, Harriman
Admission: Free of charge

Sent to me by person doing press releases for Babahatchie Community Band:

Babahatchie Band Presents: Summer Ambition Concert

Harriman, TN - Sunday July 6 caps a long Holiday Weekend with the first summer concert of the Babahatchie Community Band. The 4:00 PM concert will be held in the gazebo at the David Webb Riverfront Park. As always with Babahatchie concerts, admission is free.

The concert is called Summer Ambition because of the ambitious nature of the program.

Well, Damon the Intrepid reports another interesting piece in the RCN. Wasn't a real attention-getter like the drug roundup, but nonetheless raises a question in my mind.

Found a really neat site. Maybe some of the folks here could even contribute to it. It's a good site, more good stuff about our county would improve it.

West Roane County Volunteer Fire Department is holding a Fireworks Sale across Highway 27 opposite Wal-Mart. The tent should be open days, evenings, and weekends. Note: A group from Crossville is selling identical fireworks --from the same source--in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Remember, the West Roane VFD tent is the one across the highway from Wal-Mart!

Dude, this year's Bonnaroo won't be near as trippin' fun now that the acid is all in custody at the county jail...just kidding, just kidding

OneT,

When I was driving by tonight I stopped and took a couple pics with my phone. I'm no photographer, so I apologize for the poor quality. Hopefully, the image will upload. I couldn't get it to upload on the original thread, so maybe the site manager will forgive me :)
