A total of 70 dogs that were being hoarded in a home in Medford where the resident died on March 12 have now been rescued by Anderson County Animal Care and Control, and have been given safe shelter locally, as well as with fostering people and agencies, the animal shelter reported on Sunday. “Behind the scenes lies a remarkable story of dedication and perseverance,” the Anderson County Animal Shelter said on its Facebook page. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Slumdog Rescue Crew/Friends of Anderson County Shelter for their incredible efforts in transporting the last 27 of the dogs from the recent hoarding case to Old Dominion Humane Society, a journey of over four hours to Virginia,” the post said. “ACAS is deeply inspired by the outpouring of support we’ve received this week, not only from our local community but also from as far away as Illinois, demonstrating the power of collective compassion.

Bull Run Park in the Claxton Community is now open again after the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office and Knox County Bomb Squad investigated devices resembling military ordnance and concluding they posed no danger to the public. - Ben Pounds
The Anderson County Sheriff’s Office and Knox County Bomb Squad recently investigated devices resembling military ordnance at Bull Run Park. The ACSO reported, however, that the devices were inert and posed no threat to the public. Bull Run Park is at 780 New Henderson Road in the Claxton community and is part of the county’s park system. “At no time was there any confirmed danger to nearby residents or visitors,” the office stated. The ACSO said a fisherman found one of the devices along the park’s shoreline at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, March 19, prompting authorities to respond to the site, where additional devices were located. Officials secured the area during the investigation, but the park was reopened to the public later that day.

Dairy Pond curve gets warning posts
Responding to recurring complaints to the Norris City Council and city staff about a sharp curve on Dairy Pond Road, the city’s Public Works Department last week installed a series of 12 reflective warning posts along the curve. Dairy Pond is on a high-traffic route used by many people to cut through Norris on their way between Norris Lake points to the east and Andersonville Highway to the west. The sharp curve has never had a guard rail or any type of warning device, but is considered particularly dangerous because the road has no shoulder at that point and there is a sharp drop-off into a field that has recently been cleared of most of its trees. Residents say that dropping a car’s right-side wheels off the pavement while going around the curve would likely result in a rollover crash.
