The June 20, 2009, edition of the News & Neighbor included news that one of Johnson Cityís trees had fallen over in the storm. Mike Hyder stands next to the oak, which many locals said was over 200 years old. In June of 2012, Mark Sirois – with City Manager Pete Peterson – was named Johnson City Police Chief.
