A Regional Guide to Summer Fun in the Upper Cumberlands 2009 2 TRAVEL GUIDE 2009 Crossville Chronicle
A regional guide to summer fun in the Upper Cumberlands 2009 2 TRAVEL GUIDE 2009 CROSSVILLE CHRONICLE Sit back, relax and ENJOY YOUR STAY elcome to Cumberland County, Tennessee! Wheather you enjoy spending your time in the great outdoors enjoying Wnature, catching a round of golf, shopping, enjoying world-class live theatrical productions or delving into history, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our professional theater, the Cumberland County Playhouse, serves up drama, musicals, original produc- tions and a concert series. It also holds the distinction of being the largest rural professional theater in the country. Concerts and local productions run the gamut for the historic Palace Theatre on Crossville’s Main St. School concerts and special presentations of area musicians are among the many, many activities going on in the 1930s art-deco structure which stands as the “jewel of Main St.” When the theaters go dark, there are other places and things to explore. Crossville Outlet Center has more than 20 stores offering brand-name merchandise. Antique shops are plentiful throughout the county, and there are several consignment shops for folks looking for a bargain. Cumberland Mountain State Park is one of the pre- mier parks in the Tennessee park system. Cabins are available for lodging, and the park also offers camping, paddleboating, canoeing, an Olympic-sized swim- ming pool, fishing, hiking, picnicking and play areas, and tennis courts. There is also a meeting facility and restaurant for the family reunions, a dinner out and other activities. The park’s Crab Orchard stone arched bridge is a crowning jewel for one of the county’s best treasures. -

Chapter 5 Ecosystem Health
Chapter 5 Ecosystem Health Key Points Indicator Status of Indicator 5.1 Ecosystem water quality Since the 2003 Audit period, the number of locations exceeding ANZECC water quality guidelines has increased for physical parameters such as conductivity, remained high for nutrient parameters and reduced for toxicants. 5.2 Macroinvertebrates There are less sampled locations with similar to reference ratings compared with the 2003 Audit period. Macroinvertebrate assemblages at 32% of the sampled locations in the Catchment were found to be significantly impaired and 5% of all sampled locations had a severely impaired rating. 5.3 Fish Monitoring of fish communities in the Catchment is still needed as a potentially useful indicator of ecosystem health. 5.4 Riparian vegetation Riparian zones outside the Special Areas are likely to be under variable pressure due to little to no standing vegetation cover, stock access, and the presence of exotic species. Change in condition of vegetation in the riparian zone is not able to be determined. 5.5 Native vegetation Native vegetation covers approximately 50% of the Catchment. Approved land clearance substantially decreased over the 2005 Audit period. Healthy and intact natural ecosystems play a crucial role in maintaining water quality as they provide processes that help purify water, and mitigate the effects of drought and flood. An overall picture of the ecological health of a catchment can be achieved using tools such as water quality, habitat descriptions, biological monitoring and flow characteristics (Qld DNRM 2001). Ecosystem health assessment has become more ecologically based in recent years with biological measures such as ecosystem structure and species diversity having been added to traditional physico-chemical water quality analysis to provide a more comprehensive picture of the condition or catchment health (Qld DNRM 2001). -
Clement, Frank Goad (1920-1969) Papers, 1920-1969
CLEMENT, FRANK GOAD (1920-1969) PAPERS, 1920-1969 Processed by: Harry A. Stokes Archives & Manuscripts Unit Technical Services Section Tennessee State Library and Archives Accession Number: 94-007 Date Completed: May 15, 1995 Location: XIX-A-E Microfilm Accession Number: 1512 INTRODUCTION This finding aid covers the personal papers of Frank Goad Clement (1920-1969). Mr. Clement served three terms as Governor of Tennessee: 1953-1955; 1955-1959; and 1963-1967. Previously he was a former F. B. I. agent, Chief Counsel for the State Public Utilities Commission; and a practicing Attorney in Dickson and Nashville, Tennessee. The Tennessee State Library and Archives received these materials on March 14, 1991, from the Clement family, through the agency of F. Lynne Bachleder for the State of Tennessee via contract with Designing Eye of Martinsville, Virginia. Mr. Clement’s papers include certificates, clippings, correspondence, financial records, invitations and programs, legal files, political campaign materials, photographs, schedules, and scrapbooks and speeches, all reflective of his professional career. Mr. Clement’s papers, along with other Clement historical artifacts, were housed for many years in the old Halbrook Hotel in Dickson, Tennessee. Mr. Clement’s mother, Maybelle Goad Clement, and her parents formerly owned and operated the Halbrook Hotel. The Frank G. Clement artifacts are presently in storage at the Tennessee State Museum. The inclusive dates of the material is for the period 1920 through 1969, although the bulk of the material is concentrated between 1952 through 1969. Many of the clippings in the scrapbooks were loose and had to be reaffixed to the pages. -
