The Tavern was actually designed by architect Clarence T. Jones of

Chattanooga. He was influenced by architecture he had seen on many of his

trips to Europe. Some of the materials used in the construction included

handmade slate shingles, imported blown glass windows, light fixtures from

Standard Iron Works of Chattanooga, and stone for the porches from

Cloudland.

The beautiful gardens in front of the restaurant were built from stone from

Taylor’s Ridge and kiln-run bricks were from Dalton Brick & Tile Company in

Dalton, Georgia. The gardens are very special features of the property. The

1936 cost for the gardens was $36,000, whereas the Tavern itself was built at

a cost of $32,000. The current owners plan to eventually restore the gardens

to their original beauty and function.

The Riegledale Tavern is owned and operated by Beth Thompson and Kim

Durham. Their menu offers a wide selection of dishes ranging from steaks and

seafood to salads and sandwiches. The hours of operation and directions to

the restaurant from Rome and surrounding areas may be found in their ad

located elsewhere in this publication. Reservations are available for banquets,

business meetings, private parties, reunions, and celebrations. Special

arrangements may be made for hot or cold buffets or catering.

On November 17, “yours truly” will be appearing with my guitar for your

listening pleasure from 5:30 to 7:30 while you enjoy dinner in the dining room.

or 1800’s. A few weeks back, I discovered a business in Trion that reminds me

of some of these old structures. It has been re-opened as a locally owned and

operated restaurant. This really special place is known as the Riegeldale

Tavern .

The Riegeldale Tavern dates back to 1936. Mr. Benjamin D. Riegel of New

York became the president of the Trion Factory, which was established in

1845. After leading the textile plant toward a successful future, Riegel focused

his attention on the dairy industry. He established Riegeldale Farms in 1934

and began producing the highest quality dairy products of those times.

Mr. Riegeldale’s son-in-law suggested that a roadside stand should be erected

so that they could market their dairy items. Riegeldale also had a desire to

create some sort of “meeting place” where he could entertain his friends and

guests. The Riegeldale Tavern was the result of these two ideas.

Hungry? Stop in the Dari-King

The Dari-King, located at 3672 Martha Berry Highway in Armuchee, offers simple, delicious food seven days a week. Dari-King has been an

Armuchee tradition for at least 50 years! For the past nine years,

owner Yvonne Willingham has continued to serve up tasty fare four

different ways. She has a drive-thru, a walk-up window, an inside

seating area open since March, and she offers call ahead service

as well. She says her walk-up window does more business than

the other service features.

Dari-King specialties include chicken and dressing, homemade

Brunswick stew (very good!), vegetable soup and meatloaf. Other

menu offerings are a wide selection of country vegetables and meats,

various sandwiches, desserts and ice-cream treats. Prices are easy

on the pocket as well.

Beginning in November, Dari-King hours will be Monday through

Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sundays 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Call 706.234.0934 to place a pick-up order. And, next time you’re in Armuchee and

hungry, stop in for a great meal.

(NAPSA)-Medicare prescription drug coverage has given many seniors peace

of mind that they will have access to the medicines they need. But occasionally,

because of individual plan rules, seniors might find that the medicine prescribed

by their doctor isn’t always covered. Fortunately, seniors who encounter this

situation have several options, and a new brochure can help them understand

what they can do about it.

The new brochure, titled “Using Your Medicare Drug Plan: What to Do if Your

Medicine Isn’t Covered,” is available through Your Pharmacy Benefit (YPB), a

collaborative consumer education effort. The brochure outlines the specific steps

people can take to get their medicines covered.

“Many Medicare beneficiaries don’t realize that they can appeal if their medica-

tions are not covered, and can often get coverage for the medicines they need to

stay healthy, while controlling their costs,” said Rick Kellerman, M.D., president

of the American Academy of Family Physicians, one of the organizations in-

volved in YPB. “This brochure shows seniors what actions they can take if they

are denied coverage for a medication.”

Patients have the right to request coverage for their medicines and to appeal

Medicare’s decision if that coverage is denied, but they must follow a specific

process. The brochure includes information on that process, including:

Tips on deciding whether to start this process

Explanations of how the process works

Definitions of key terms

A sample appeal letter

A step-by-step table of the

coverage request process

Additional resources such as

links to Medicare’s appeal forms.

The brochure is available in English and Spanish through the Federal Citizen

Information Center. There are three easy ways to request copies of the brochure

I’m talking, of course, about the recent arrest of O.J. Simpson — one more

bizarre chapter in the life of a man who once had it all and is now risking what-

ever is left to retrieve a few material reminders of his former life.

Christmas Sale!!!

The former football great was arrested in Las Vegas and charged with an im-

pressive array of felonies, including armed robbery and kidnapping. He alleg-

edly went to the hotel room of a sports memorabilia collector to retrieve items

that once belonged to him. He took along some really big guys and, allegedly,

at least one gun.

Since the horrifying events of the mid-1990s that landed Simpson in a court of

law charged with murder, I don’t know if there are many fans left who idolize

Simpson as millions did during his early successes.

Still, the market continues to grow for sports memorabilia — souvenirs of great

moments by gifted players who did impressive things. Baseballs, basketballs

and footballs with signatures, bats, gloves, jerseys and caps, trophies and

However, the arrest of Simpson raises the possibility that there may be one

more collectable on the horizon, a rare and elusive creature safely preserved in

a cage.

If he isn’t careful, O.J. is going to wind up in jail — the ultimate souvenir.

Gift Ideas for the Family Handy Man

(MS) — Each holiday season, it seems

as though it gets harder and harder to

find that perfect gift for a loved one. For-

tunately, finding that gift doesn’t need to

be so hard, as the recent boom in do-it-

a wealth of new ideas.

Rather than giving one more pair of socks
