Meteorologist Heather Haley to return to University of Tennessee to teach, report for WUOT
Meteorologist and Knoxville native Heather Haley is moving from television to radio - and teaching - as she returns to her alma mater the University of Tennessee at Knoxville to serve in two new roles. Haley has been the chief meteorologist - the first woman in the Knoxville area to do so - and an anchor for WVLT-TV, winning an Emmy Award for her work. But come August and the start of the new semester, she will teach as an assistant professor of practice in UT's School of Journalism and Media, and report as a meteorologist and climate reporter for WUOT 91.9 FM, a public radio station licensed to the university, the College of Communication and Information announced on June 9. She graduated from UT in 2005, interning at WVLT as a student. Additionally, she's served as a member of the school's alumni advisory council and helped to create the Broadcast Meteorology minor in the school. At WUOT, she'll continue to provide information on the weather and the climate in the East Tennessee area, a vital role in the wake of Hurricane Helene. 'It's like I'm hitting reset, I'm really excited. I keep hearing from the staff and faculty how much they love having students here every day, it's electric," Haley said in a news release from UT's College of Communication and Information. "I'm looking forward to that positivity and environment, just being in the lives of students and helping them grow from semester to semester and having it come to fruition with graduation."

What time is it illegal to mow your lawn? Know the rules in Rochester
Warmer weather has finally arrived in New York, which means neighborhoods will be filled with the sound of buzzing bees, chirping birds — and the drone of lawnmowers and trimmers. While necessary, it can be frustrating if people enjoy taking care of their lawns early in the morning or late at night while you're trying to sleep, but there are laws governing when you can landscape and maintain your yard. Here's what to know. Yes, there are yardwork-related noise regulations throughout the Rochester area, but they vary between municipalities. Here's a look at the noise ordinances in the city of Rochester, Irondequoit, Greece, Brighton and Henrietta: : You can use lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, tillers, mulchers, chippers and other lawncare devices between the hours of 8 a.m. and sunset. : You can't use certain machinery if it creates excessive noise at the premises' property line, including lawn mowers, between the hours of 10 p.m. and 9 a.m. : You can use lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, tiller, mulchers, chippers and other lawncare devices between the hours of 8 a.m. and sunset. : There aren't specific noise ordinances relating to lawncare but "the creation of any unreasonably loud, disturbing and unnecessary noise is prohibited." : You can't use any motor-driven vehicle, including lawnmowers, without "an adequate muffler properly installed and maintained." It differs. If you violate a yardwork-related noise regulation, penalties range from fines to imprisonment. For example, first offenses in the city of Rochester come with a fine of $200, second offenses, $400, and third and subsequent offenses, $600. In the towns of Irondequoit and Greece, you could face fines or up to 15 days of imprisonment. See the list: Explore 5 lesser-known spring destinations in the Finger Lakes Since there are restrictions in many Rochester-area municipalities — most of which are enforced by local police departments — you can report the issue to your local police department or even take legal action by filing a claim in small claims court or a lawsuit in civil court, according to online legal resource FindLaw. However, your best first step may be to try and talk to your neighbors about your concerns and possibly share your local noise ordinance with them so they're aware of it.
