An apartment fire last week at Lookout Pointe in Trenton was described by a workman mopping up the damage as no big deal--"a little bit of smoke in the kitchen" that would be as good as new when he finished, said the workman from a disaster cleanup firm in Atlanta.
Vivien Hester And finally, here are details from the Tennessee Highway Patrol of the tragic Jan. 3 automobile accident that claimed the life of Vivien Hester, Dade's longtime Cave and Rescue Squad captain. Ms. Hester, 64, was driving her 2005 Toyota Camry on Interstate 24 eastbound near mile marker 178 at about 8:48 Tuesday morning when she lost control of the vehicle due to wet road conditions and struck a TDOT (Tennessee Department of Transportation) truck stopped by the roadway. The TDOT truck was a 2016 Ford 450 and was unoccupied--its driver had left it there while assisting at the scene of an earlier, separate accident. Ms. Hester, who was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident, was taken to a local hospital where she died of her injuries. Her family has been notified.
