A candlelight prayer service for a boy battling cancer for the second time in his young life will be held Saturday night in Clinton.

The battle against the disease by Joseph Dillman, 10, of Clinton, has inspired the community, which has embraced both him and his family as they continue the fight. He has been named an honorary Clinton police officer and led the Clinton High School football team onto the field during a home game last season, and he has received several other designations and accolades.

Just last month, the Second Annual Joseph Dillman Lawn Mower Race organized by Clinton Police Officer Jason Stokes was held. [Read more…]

Repairs made to Jaycee Park walking trail

Posted at 12:22 am September 18, 2014
By Oak Ridge Today Staff Leave a Comment

Information from WYSH Radio

Clinton Public Works and Parks and Recreation employees recently completed some much-needed work on the walking trail at Jaycee Park.

In a press release, Public Works Director Lynn Murphy said this is the first major repair effort on the trail in about 15 years. Murphy said that the city had received some complaints about the condition of the trails, which raised questions for officials about walkers’ safety.

Several sections of asphalt were either completely removed and replaced or, when possible, repaired. Officials hope that further improvements to the Jaycee Park walking trail can be made in the near future.
