BYBEEA paving company allegedly tried to scam thousands of dollars from a 72-year-old woman on Waxwing Road, in Bybee, and threatened her with physical harm when she didnt comply, the Cocke County Sheriffs Department reported on Tuesday, Feb. 4.

Timothy Bryant contacted the CCSD on Feb. 3 to say his mother, Faye Lawson, had been the victim of a scam by a paving company, Deputy Sheriff Jerry Vandergriff reported.

The owner of the company, who was named, allegedly came to Lawsons residence and offered to repair her driveway, using materials left over from a previous job they had in the area, at a cost between $200 and $300, the report stated.

Bybee woman target of alleged paving scam, threats

Bob Cather spent his career covering Lincoln in asphalt, including his 2,000-square-foot driveway around the corner from the Piedmont Shopping Center.

Now, in his retirement, the 90-year-old spends days like Wednesday -- when he wakes tohalf a foot of snow blown in from the field across the street -- cleaning and clearing that big driveway off.

But not with a snow blower. He gave his away years ago. Hated it.

But he loves his big-wheeled, big-handled, big-scooped snow shovel.

I bet its the only one in Lincoln. People drive by and gawk.

Wednesday, Cec Cather looked out their window at bundled-up Bob and decided her husband deserved a bigger audience. So she called the newspaper.

Its a remarkable shovel. Thats a strange sight to see, she said.

Besides, she asked, how many 90-year-old men do you see pushing snow around?

About the shovel: Its called a Sno Wovel, and Cec stumbled across it a few years back on Amazon.com. She ended up spending more than $200 on it as a Christmas present for Bob (although it now sells for $140).

When relatives assembled it, they were skeptical.

INDIANAPOLIS -

The extreme cold weather and all the snow has wreaked havoc on area roads, but the state has a new plan to repair all the potholes.

With more than 30,000 lane miles to tend to, INDOT has a lot of potholes to fill and it is asking for your help in finding them.

"We are asking Hoosiers to report potholes," Gov. Mike Pence said Thursday.

"We have set up a Twitter account and our website, so people can fill out our web form where they are seeing potholes and where we need to report," said Ryan Gallagher, INDOT.

INDOT crews were already attending to those potholes on Thursday. One crew was putting down hot mix on US 135 south of Indianapolis.

"The pothole surge will be targeted. We will run alternate 12-hour shifts on weekdays and weekends to repair as many potholes as possible, as quickly as possible," Pence said.

The governor says the state has already spent $2.9 million fixing potholes and he says money for this surge is already in the budget. Workers have already put in 81,000 man hours filling potholes and they have been put on notice about what is to come.

"If I asked you to fill every pothole in two days, that is the kind of effort you need to put forward to get this done," Gallagher said.

"That will include alternating 12-hour shifts, supplemental crews and additional hours to address the problem," Pence added.
