SANTA MAY BE LATE ON NORTHWEST TENNESSEE DELIVERIES: REELFOOT LAKE DECLARED NO-FLY ZONE
By Mike Faulk
NORTH POLE, ARCTIC - St. Nicholas announced yesterday a temporary disruption in his delivery schedule in the Reelfoot Lake region of northwest Tennessee. Declaring the area around the earthquake-made lake a "No-fly" zone, Santa Claus cited fear for the safety of his crew as the basis for the glitch in holiday deliveries.
"I've seen those east Tennessee boys and their shooting. You're usually safe if they aim for you but there's always that chance of an errant sky-busting shot especially since they started using bismuth and other steel-alternatives."
In recent years Claus and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency have been at odds since the heavy delivery schedule that comes only once a year overlaps both duck and some area deer seasons in Tennessee.Defending his decision to delay deliveries to good little boys and girls in the lake area, St. Nicholas offered these reconnaissance photographs.
When contacted by Strum Island Journal, east Tennessee waterfowler Art Swann was unapologetic. "If it flys it dies", he said.

Nanny Douglas,
I hope you know how precious my Christmas Eve was. Santa came early when he gave me a weekend with those Douglas boys!
Now that I think about it, maybe his sneakin' in early kept him from getting shot over Reelfoot Lake!
I'm so glad you enjoy the pictures. Look for the story in magazines near you next Christmas season.
Sincerely,
Mike Faulk
