 Nobody can quite put a finger on it, but there’s just something different when the moon is brightest in the sky. 

A full moon occurs roughly once a month when the earth is directly between the moon and sun. It has often been blamed for strange happenings. In fact, the word “lunacy” comes from the word “lunar.”
 While empirical evidence doesn’t support theories about full moon follies, the anecdotal evidence is compelling.

CARYVILLE — On Tuesday, Gov. Bill Haslam appeared briefly at the Caryville Municipal Building to sign Lynn’s Law — which provides greater power to prosecute those who abandon the disabled. The signing of the law occurred just over one mile from the site of its tragic inspiration.

CARYVILLE — Caryville’s fire department will cover an area left unprotected after the Pinecrest Volunteer Fire Department dissolved last fall.
The Campbell County Rural Fire Service took some of the uncovered area, but asked the CFD to cover some of the homes on McGhee Lane near the industrial park. Having fire protection will lower homeowner’s insurance for the residents.
Mayor Chris Stanley said he and fire chief Eddie Hatmaker had met about the initiative, and all firemen were on-board with the decision.

It’s public school without the cafeteria food, smoking in the boy’s room and dressing out for physical education.
Virtual school could soon be up for a vote within the Campbell County School District.
“School districts are taking advantage of it and they will continue to take advantage of it,” said Karen Ghidotti, vice president of the southern region of K12, Inc.
