Thank you, Midtown Choir, for...

Hats off to Beth Trescher and her choir from Midtown Elementary School for serenading the animals at the Roane County Animal Shelter.

These dogs and other animals are there because they got lost or someone did not want them anymore. Can you imagine how the pets feel after being with a family and all of a sudden they’re locked in a cage?

Orange and White impressions

It was gameday again on the Hill. As a sea of orange shirts cascaded down Peyton Manning Pass, I was reminded once again of just how special Neyland Stadium is, especially in beautiful weather.

65,098 Vol faithful packed the lower bowl to watch Team 122 in the annual Orange & White Game. The attendence number is probably exaggerated, however it is still among the Top 5 for spring game attendance this year.

Owner John Faris said employees won’t be out of a job during construction.

“The employees we have here have been designated in other locations,” he said. “The Lenoir City location, the Love’s (travel stop) location, Harriman and Rockwood. All the current employees have got a place to work, management and crew.”

A View From Lick Skillet: Mourn...

Gentle reader, we must this week beg your indulgence for any shortcomings in this production.

This plea is occasioned by the old curmudgeon’s having fallen victim to another of the frailties that too often beset those of a certain age. In this case it is our teeth that have decided to give up the ghost and malfunction to a faretheewell.

Adequate ingestion of nourishment is difficult, if not well-nigh impossible with two broken teeth, thus we have placed our self in the capable hands of Dr. Walmsley for the installation of a ‘’bridge.”
