Looking for Jimmie Dee
Does anyone know the whereabouts of Jimmie Dee? Dee was the country music
entertainer who used to live in Hendersonville (or he may still live in
Hendersonville). If so, could you please contact the
webmaster.
One of Jimmie's friends form the Air Force is trying to locate him.
Thanks.

Donors Choose is a national, non-profit organization designed to help
teachers get needed supplies for their classrooms. Teachers submit
proposals to Donors Choose, and Donors Choose reviews the requests and
places them on their web site. At this point, any individual in the
world can search the database for proposals they would like to fund in
whole or in part.
Once the project is fully funded, Donors Choose ships the requested
supplies directly to the teacher. The teacher sends a thank-you
letter [through Donors Choose] to the donor who completed the funding on his/her proposal.
In addition, the teacher sends thank-you letters from each student along
with photos of the class using the donated supplies.
It's actually quite fun to see how this works!
Donors Choose has just opened their program to teachers in
Tennessee. We encourage teachers in Hendersonville and
surrounding areas to submit proposals to Donors Choose!

Wolf Creek Dam
See maps of what areas of Hendersonville would be affected if the Wolf Creek Dam in
Kentucky were ever to break.
These maps are
available online from the United States Corps of Engineers and can be viewed
if you have a high-speed Internet connection. If you have a low-speed
connection, you might want to see paper copies of the maps at the Martin R.
Curtis, Sr. Hendersonville Public Library. If you live in or near a flood area, the
Corps of Engineer recommends:
Purchase a weather band
radio for early warning.
Have a plan for
evacuation of your family to a designated gathering place.
Practice your
evacuation plan.
Secure your property by
locking doors and outbuildings upon departure.
Establish a contact
person or persons outside the flood area for check-in.
Consider purchasing
flood insurance (strictly a personal choice).
As with all emergency situations, the best thing you can do is be prepared in
advance.
Here is a list of emergency supplies which you should have ready for any
emergency including tornados, earthquakes, power outages and dam breaks:
Flashlight and extra batteries.
Portable, battery-operated radio and extra
batteries.
First aid kit and manual.
Emergency food and water.
Non-electric can opener.
Essential medicines.
Cash and credit cards.
Sturdy shoes.
Note: A lot of the water used by people in Sumner County comes from the
Cumberland River. In the event of a dam break and major flooding, there is
a good chance that water supplies will be interrupted. Be sure to have
bottled water available even if you do not live in a flood area.
Located beside Old Hickory Lake, just 20 miles from downtown
Nashville, Hendersonville has some of the best real estate in middle Tennessee.
Many recording stars such as Johnny Cash call or have called Hendersonville
home.
