Bitter cold invades Clarksville area Forecasters urge caution in frigid temps By JIMMY SETTLE The Leaf-Chronicle The past night's dangerously cold weather will give way to some moderation in temperatures, but don't expect immediate improvement, according to the National Weather Service. Bitterly cold air invaded Middle Tennessee Thursday, and the frigid conditions will be felt through Saturday morning. Low temperatures last night in the Clarksville area were expected to plunge to between 0 and 5 degrees. Some of the normally colder locations likely dipped several degrees below zero, both in wind chill, and actual mercury readings. Forecasters say today will bring sunshine, but highs will reach only the lower 20s in most areas of northern Middle Tennessee.

Tonight will not be quite as cold, but lows will still be well below normal in the single digits and teens. These cold temperatures can pose a number of dan- Barnes Continued from Al calls for investments in highways and other infrastructure projects. "We are in desperate need of infrastructure development, and it can help our economy," he said. Barnes said whatever money is allocated would go to existing projects that have already been planned. "I don't think there will be any reshuffling (of current projects)," he said.

Barnes said the state and Montgomery County have some "serious needs," among them a list of bridges that need to be refurbished or rebuilt. One of those bridges the Red River bridge that carries Wilma Rudolph Boulevard over the river is one that was left off the list, a "serious omission," in Barnes' words. "We got that put back on the list," Barnes said, who noted that I he worked with 67th District state Rep. Joe Pitts, and 68th District state Rep. Curtis Johnson to get the project back on the list.

'Incredible responsibility' Outside of his accomplishments, Barnes said his first few days have been a lot to take in. He said he has been welcomed warmly, and at times has been overwhelmed by the position he now holds. "I have found it to be a welcoming and hospitable body," he said. Barnes said he was "overwhelmed" on his first day in the Senate and thought about the countless issues since the 1840s, when the Capitol was built. "And to realize you are one of 33 out of the 6.5 million people that live in the state of Tennessee that can walk through that door of the Senate chamber, sit at one of those desks and have the right to vote, have the Tim Barnes ft.

If you have to go outside, limit your time in the cold and bundle up with layered clothing. Also be sure to wear a cap and gloves. Check on the elderly to make sure they have adequate heat, and bring pets indoors as much as possible. Exposed water pipes will also be at risk of bursting. You can reduce the risk by insulating pipes, or leaving a small steady stream of water running at indoor faucets.

Be very careful when using space heaters, and be sure smoke detectors are in good working condition. For the remainder of the weekend, conditions should improve a bit. Saturday is expected to dawn partly cloudy with a high of 42 degrees, and a low of 29. Sunday is to be mostly cloudy with a high of 37, and a low of 26. There is currently no mention of precipitation through at least Jan.

Sen.Tim Barnes Clarksville Democrat right to speak, it's an incredible responsibility," he said. Barnes was also there for the "fireworks" that took place in the House when it chose Republican Kent Williams over Jason Mumpower through political wranglings between House members, to serve as House speaker. Barnes said the Senate was hearing snippits of information, but didn't invest a lot of attention in the matter. "When all that is going on, keep in mind the Senate is doing business also," he said.

"We pretty much became spectators rather than participants because that's their business." Barnes said he thinks the focus in both legislative houses is now on governance. Interior politics has also been a part of the proceedings in the Capitol like finding the best and biggest office but Barnes said he has tried to distance himself from those debates. "I don't think the size of the office has anything to do with constituent service and your ability to influence legislation to benefit your consituents," he said. Barnes also learned a fun fact about the Senate floor. "I found out the front row are the least-desired seats," he said.

Republicans gained a combined 69-63 majority in the Legislature in November's election. The new session began Tuesday. The vote had been delayed one day after a surprise outcome in the House speaker race.

Republicans had hoped to install Rep. Jason Mumpower of Bristol as speaker but he lost by one vote when Rep. Kent Williams, R-Elizabethton, got the backing of all Democrats in the closely divided chamber. The constitutional officer positions pay $180,000 per year. The secretary of state serves a four-year term, while the treasurer and comptroller are elected every two years.
