No age requirement, any disability, boys and girls. All are welcome! No registration fee required! They want all kids who want to play to be able to join so no need to worry about money! They have equipment! Just bring your child out to have a good time! Let them be a part of this and let them take care of the rest!

Next year they look forward to playing in the spring with all the other leagues. The special needs league will be using what is called a “sky ball” rather than a real baseball to protect the kids.

Here is an update on a story we brought you on Wednesday.
Federal and state officers were seen leaving the Quick Care Clinic in Decherd on Tuesday morning. They also reportedly met with employees of the business’ Manchester office as well Tuesday morning.
According to Franklin County Sheriff Tim Fuller, agents with the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), Fuller and officers from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department as well as the Decherd Police Department entered the Quick Care Clinic located on Bible Crossing Road in Decherd around 8 a.m. Tuesday morning. A short time later they were seen leaving the building with seized boxes as well as records from the neighboring Winchester Imaging Clinic. Dr. Councill Rudolph owns both businesses.
Law enforcement did not say what they were looking for at the clinic.
“This has been an ongoing investigation by the sheriff’s department, the Decherd Police Department, the DEA and the TBI,” Fuller stated.
According to Sheriff Fuller, the DEA and the TBI also visited clinics in Manchester, Cookeville and Chapel Hill that is owned by Rudolph. He explained that they interviewed employees in those offices.
The sheriff stated that while records were seized, no arrests were made during the morning raid.
Decherd Police Chief Ross Peterson stated that officers from his department have seen a number of vehicles from other counties at the business and the officers have had to answer “some calls in the parking lot” of the clinic. (Tullahoma News)

The national average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline increased this week to $3.64 per gallon and is the highest since July of 2013.
“The demand for gasoline is driving up the price of oil, which in turn, is pumping up the price of gasoline,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Prices are expected to keep rising in the near future due to unexpectedly lower supplies and rising demand.”
Gasoline demand is at its highest level since January, according to the Energy Information Administration. Meanwhile, consumer confidence is at its highest since July. These factors pushed the price of oil last Friday, to its highest price on the NYMEX in five weeks.
The EIA released its summer forecast this week, predicting that retail prices would average $3.57 per gallon during the summer driving season, once cent cheaper than last year.
The low price in Manchester is down 1-cent this week to $3.44 and in Tullahoma the low price is also $3.44 per gallon up 10-cents. Tennessee’s average is $3.48.

Gov. Bill Haslam’s anti-methamphetamine legislation has been approved by the Senate.
The Senate voted 23-8 on Tuesday for a 4.8-gram month maximum and an annual cap of 14.4 grams of allergy and cold medicines like Sudafed that could be bought without a prescription.
Over-the-counter remedies that include pseudoephedrine are used to make methamphetamine.
The Senate version is different than the House version, which sets a 5.8-gram monthly cap and annual limit of 28.8 grams. The House passed that version 80-17 earlier this month.
Lawmakers must now work out the differences before the legislation heads to the governor’s desk.
According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, 1,685 meth labs were seized in Tennessee last year.
