Update: Officer Tartt Still Sick, Needs Our Help

Officer Tartt was doing a benchpress last January and felt a strange pull. When he went to the doctor, he learned he needed surgery and after the operation, his left leg doubled in size.  He had developed blood clots and is now taking medication to thin his blood in preparation of more surgery.  Though his blood hasn’t thinned [...]

Citizen Outreach from the PoPo’s

I’ve had but one run-in - if you will - with the LaVergne police.  And it wasn’t really a run-in per se.  I was flagged down for going 20-25′ish (I don’t remember now) in that 15 MPH zone as you cross the railroad bridge on Jefferson.  The considerate, wonderful officer just gave me a friendly [...]

Todays Twitters

From a friend at Twitter:
LaVergne PD spends an inordinate amount of time patrolling the mean streets of McFarlin Pointe.
I had to laugh when I read that.  Here’s more.
Just had my first sip of Mello Yello in almost two years. Tasted like cleaning fluid.

Rainy Saturday

My husband wants to know why it’s always beautiful during the week, but come Saturday when he’s off work the weather is like this.  I get to drive to Clarksville in this mess shortly and am dreading it.  Am wondering out loud what LaVergne does for its Easter Egg hunt today.  Do they postpone, move [...]

Make plans to attend a chili dinner and silent auction on March 28th from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. at LaVergne [...]

Swat Team

I just saw several LaV PD patrol cars drive through… I won’t say where.  Big raid must be in the works as the officers were dressed in swat clothes complete with sock masks. 
Speaking of police, I love those swanky black and white crime buster cars.  I’d be terrified if one pulled me over… which is [...]

Face Made from Woman’s Remains

I can’t find a photo in newspapers - heck I can’t even find where anyone has covered it in newspapers - but the television news aired a picture of the unidentified woman whose body was found off Hollandale Road this fall. 
Here’s the Channel 5 story with a photo of what the woman would have looked like.  [...]

Happy Presidents’ Day

Hope all you with school-aged kids are enjoying their day off.  Hope all you postal workers are enjoying your day off.  Hope all you government workers are also enjoying your day off.  But to you folks who are working hard today - nurses, police officers, fire fighters, doctors and medical professionals, grocers - I want [...]
