| My son, Matthew "Shorty" Chadwell, a 4th grader at Jacksboro Elementary School hit his first Hole-In-One today at Deerfield Golf Course. On hole number eleven, a par 3, he stepped up with his trusty 3 wood and let 'er rip. The ball looked good off the tee, I told him it looked like he hit a good one, we watched it, I told him that one was going to be close, it hit the green and rolled a bit, and in it dropped. I think they probably heard me yell all around the course. I sure am glad we had another young man with us, Shorty had a witness, a fellow school mate. February 21,2007 at approximately 4:45 PM |
| The land around Eagle Bluff Rock is on fire at this very minute. I got word of it and went right up there to take some pictures for you to see. The LaFollette and Jacksboro Fire Departments along with the Campbell County Rural Fire Department and the Tennessee Division of Forestry are working to extinguish the fire. I talked to a fireman associated with the Caryville Fire Department, he told me they do not know just yet what started the fire. Caryville is on standby just in case they are needed. The LaFollette Rescue Squad is covering the Jacksboro Fire Station while the Jacksboro Fire Department is on the mountain. Say a big Hoorah to all these folks the next time you see them. They worked together to take care of this problem and still cover the needs of others in the county as well. Sorry the pictures are not to great. I did not try to get to close as to get in the way of the fire fighters that are endangering themselves to protect you and I. These pictures were taken between 6:30 and 7:30 PM Saturday March 3,2007. I went back up there at around 9:00 PM and took some more pictures and also got a few of the firefighters as well. |
