Good morning, Hendersonville.

Astronaut Butch Wilmore from Mt. Juliet returned safely on March 18 after a 286-day mission that was extended due to spacecraft issues and was monitored as he readjusted to Earth’s gravity.

Local leaders and Tennessee Tech are planning tributes (including a possible parade) to honor his return and service to our community.

The Hendersonville Fire Department responded to a fire at 1080 West Main Street shortly after 12 p.m. Saturday — firefighters extinguished the flames in 27 minutes with no injuries reported as two units were relocated with help from property management and the American Red Cross of Tennessee — and investigators are now determining the cause.

Gas prices remain steady in Tennessee as the state average holds at $2.70—five cents lower than one month ago and 49 cents below last year’s level.

AAA said seasonal factors—like refinery maintenance and increased summer gasoline demand—will likely push pump prices higher this spring.

Titans signed kicker Joey Slye on Monday after he played last season for the Patriots—he replaces veteran Nick Folk, who missed one field goal last season.

Slye, 28, made 26 of 33 field goal attempts and was 25-for-26 on extra points as he joins the team's special teams unit.

Merrol Hyde senior Katelyn DeHart received a golf scholarship to play at Cumberland University Monday afternoon.
