Flat Hollow Marina is geared up for its first ever movie premier scheduled for this Saturday.

Filmed at the marina nearly a year ago, Fish Bait-The Movie stars actors from the Einstein Simplified Comedy Troupe, and other actors from the Knoxville area. The film is a cross between Deliverance and Jaws, with the improvisation acting technique of Blair Witch, said co-director Jeff Joslin.

Joslin also wrote, co-produced the movie.

The Jellico Utility Board voted to implement the second part of a water/sewer rate increase at last Tuesday night’s meeting.

The 20-percent increase on water and the 10-percent increase on sewer come as no surprise. The board approved the increases over a year ago when the issue first arose.

The overall increase plan included a 20-percent increase on water and a 10-percent increase on sewer to be implemented each year for the first two years and a three-percent increase on water and a three-percent increase on sewer each year for next three years after that.
