Clarksville Intersection improvement project set to begin
Nashville – The Tennessee Department of Transportation will begin making major improvements to a busy Clarksville intersection early next month. The work will be taking place at the intersections of Riverside Drive/Kraft Street (US 41A) and North 2nd/New Providence Boulevard (SR 12 at SR 13), and will include the removal of the existing riding surface, installation of new asphalt, curb, gutter, sidewalks, and storm drain system. The intersection will also be widened to include additional turn lanes and crosswalks.
Lane closures and traffic shifts will begin within the next two weeks and will remain in place until the project is completed in November 2009. Temporary closures of Riverside Drive and Kraft Street will also be necessary during construction. Portable message signs will be installed at several locations in Clarksville to alert motorists of the construction. Drivers are urged to seek an alternate route around this work zone.

GHSO warns Tennesseans not to get “Nailed” by the cops this summer
Governor’s Highway Safety Office Kicks Off 100 Days of Summer Heat Campaign
NASHVILLE – The phrase, “I just got nailed by the cops,” is taking on a whole new meaning for Tennesseans. Today, the Governor’s Highway Safety Office joined AAA and the Franklin Police Department to launch “100 Days of Summer Heat” and unveiled a new “Drive Drunk, Get Nailed” message. GHSO has already spread the message to many in Middle Tennessee in a unique and surprising way. Vehicles with 10 foot nails driven through the hoods have appeared in high visibility locations across Middle Tennessee since June 22 in an effort to spread the word.
“There is never a good reason for getting behind the wheel after you’ve been drinking,” said TDOT Commissioner Gerald Nicely. “Unfortunately, many people are still not getting the message, so we hope this new campaign will help draw attention to the problem of drunk driving in Tennessee.” «Read the rest of this article»

Are your a children a reflection of you?
I do not condone abusive punishments, but I do discipline to my daughters when it is necessary. Many times this can be done with a simple look and order to “go to your room,” and at other times it involves taking away a prized possession, or possibly more severe actions such as grounding. Fortunately for both of us, this works well and ensures that our daughter obeys her parents, and is respectful to others both elders and other children. «Read the rest of this article»
