Maryville Alcoa Animal Rescue Center Dog of the Week: Sully
Do you remember learning cloud types in school? There are the big, fluffy cumulus clouds. And the feathery cirrus clouds. Or the stratus clouds that blanket the sky. But there was a cloud type they may not have taught: the sullycutenimbus cloud, or Sully for short. The features of a Sully cloud differ a little from other clouds. While they are fluffy, if you squint really hard, you’ll see little strands of fur instead of water vapor! Sully clouds also move really quickly through the sky, sometimes making a full 360 rotation over and over. You can spot the shape of a Sully cloud by looking for the tell-tale wagging tail at the end of the cloud. The other day, a couple was walking in the park when a Sully cloud suddenly moved overhead.

Alcoa commissioners talk landfill, other infrastructure projects
Alcoa commissioners advanced several landfill expansion projects Tuesday aimed at improving efficiency and easing the strain on the more than 50-year-old facility. The Alcoa/Maryville/Blount County Landfill, located off Long Powers Road in Friendsville, accepts household garbage as well as bulkier waste, including old furniture and construction debris. Household garbage must be disposed of in more tightly regulated Class I cells designed to prevent groundwater contamination. Bulkier waste can be placed in less restrictive Class III and IV cells. Plans to expand the Class III and IV cells were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, forcing Alcoa Public Works Department officials to use more expensive Class I space for bulky waste. Permits also began to expire or were voided because of changing conditions at the site, prompting the city to pursue multiple expansion projects simultaneously. “One of the issues we had with one of the original plans was that there have been some changes to (the site) that have forced us to go back through some very, very challenging regulatory work,” City Manager Bruce Applegate said. “That’s why, rather than starting over from scratch each time, we’re trying to get all these other pieces going at the same time so
