The Bristol Tennessee Police Department will be hosting a “Prescription Drug Take-Back” event on Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. in the Municipal Parking Lot located at 801 Anderson Street, Bristol, Tennessee (Courthouse parking lot). People are asked to bring their old, unwanted, unused, or expired medications (prescription, over-the-counter, and supplements) to this secure drop-off site. This is a “no-questions-asked” event and participants will not need to produce any identification. All items will be properly disposed of by incineration by the Bristol Tennessee Police Department.
The Police Department is encouraging individuals to rid their households of unused medications that pose a safety hazard and can contribute to prescription drug abuse. Additionally, proper disposal is much safer for the environment and the water supply as flushing or throwing away medication puts our waterways and aquatic life at risk. Liquids and syringes will not be accepted.
The Drug Take-Back initiative is for the general public. Doctor’s offices, clinics, or other medical offices should follow the guidelines set by the Drug Enforcement Administration. The guidelines for disposal can be found at http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/index.html.
For further information, please contact Lt. Keith Feathers (423) 989-3409 or kfeathers@bristoltn.org.

Chattanooga, Tennessee - What is not unusual about the Chattanooga Theatre Centre’s production of the Tony Award-winning musical comedy “Avenue Q” is that it follows a motley group of New York twenty-somethings who face life’s challenges together, struggling to find jobs, dates, and their elusive purpose in life.
What is unusual about the irreverent farce, which opens May 3 for seven performances only, is that three actors share the stage with a group of raunchy, foulmouthed, politically-incorrect puppets, operated and voiced by other actors in full view of the audience. The show runs through May 12.
Any likeness to a long-running public television children’s show is unquestionably implied, but the
The Bristol Tennessee Police Department will host a Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) class on Wednesday, June 5, from 6:00 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. in the Frank Winston Auditorium at Tennessee High School.
The CRASE class is a preparedness course geared towards civilians who could find themselves in an active shooter event, giving them the knowledge to take immediate action to save their own lives before law enforcement arrives. The attendees will be provided strategies, guidance, and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event. Topics that will be discussed include: the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, medical issues, psychological issues during and after these events, as well as other considerations. Participants will also hear from a survivor of the Virginia Tech active shooter event. Individuals, businesses, churches, educators, community groups, or any other types of organizations are welcome and encouraged to attend.
The course was developed by the ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) Center at Texas State University and is designed around the Avoid, Deny, Defend strategy. “This class is important because you will be taught how to think differently should the unthinkable situation arise,” said Lt. Brian Hess with the Bristol Tennessee Police Department. “Through real-world examples, videos, and hypothetical training, class attendees will receive hands-on training of what to do when an intruder enters a room, knowing the importance of where the exits are, and what you should do if the exits are blocked. With this information, the class can save lives.”
There is no cost to attend, but participants are asked to sign up on Eventbrite to reserve a spot. For more information on the CRASE class, please contact Lt. Brian Hess at bhess@bristoltn.org or 423-989-3453.
Brentwood, Tennessee - Tuesday May 7th is the City of Brentwood Municipal election. Early voting begins April 17 and is open to any registered voter who is entitled to vote in the municipal election. Any registered voter may vote at any one of the three (3) early voting sites within the county regardless of their Election Day precinct of registration. All voters must present a Tennessee or Federal issued identification, even if expired, showing the voters’ name and photo unless excluded under certain provisions of the law. (T.C.A. §2-7-112 (a)). First time voters who registered by mail or online must show proof of residential address before casting a ballot.
There are four City Commission seats up for election, with nine candidates on the ballot. Outgoing Commissioner Betsy Crossley understands the importance of every vote, firsthand. She initially tied for fourth place in the 2007 election, and subsequently won the final seat in a runoff election. Thanks to her recently turned 18-year-old son and his friend being able to vote, she was still a contender in the race. “So, the first time he was going to vote, he was voting for me,” Crossley said. “He got really busy that afternoon, but he did grab a friend to go vote. That evening, I will never forget the number-- 1,740. There was a tie for fourth place. Had he not gotten his friend to vote, I would have lost by two votes,” Crossley said. She is a firm believer, that every vote does count.
You must apply for voter registration by April 8, 2019 to be eligible to vote in Brentwood’s May 7 election.

Chattanooga, Tennessee- The Chattanooga Zoo is proud to announce the
grand opening of its interactive, naturalistic Nature Play playground. The
Nature Play will include a honeycomb jungle gym, giant insects to climb,
multiple musical components, a gazebo hut, a dig pit, a crawl through tunnel,
boulders, and more.
The Zoo’s new Nature Play will encourage outdoor physical activity, provide a
fun, educational environment for play, and will fulfill the zoo’s missions by
creating ways to connect children with nature and wildlife. Play is critical to a
child's learning and development, and nature play - or unstructured play
outside - is even more important. When children are allowed to explore,
create, and learn in nature they are found to have increased activity levels,
decreased obesity rates, improved problem solving and reasoning skills, and
increased social and emotional skills. Furthermore, children are found to have
increased empathy for both other people and the animals and plants we share
this planet with. In order to foster better stewards of the environment, it is
essential that we allow our children to get out and explore nature. With
natural substrates and theming, we hope to show our guests and their
children that nature is accessible for everyone - all you need to do is get
outside and explore!
“We are so excited to add this new feature to the Zoo. Nature Play is a project
our team has been very passionate about, and was inspired by our
commitment of conserving nature and wildlife, and educating those for our
future,” says Dardenelle Long, Zoo CEO and president. “Through much
community support and our team’s dedicated work, we are honored to offer a
fun, hands-on learning environment offered daily to our guests.”
The official Nature Play grand opening ceremony will take place on April 22, 2019 at 10:00am at the Chattanooga Zoo.
The ceremony is open to the public and media is encouraged to attend. For more information on details and to RSVP,
please contact Hannah Hammon, Director of Advancement, at hhammon@chattzoo.org.
Remodeled park features playground unique to middle Tennessee and spectacular view of downtown Nashville
Nashville, Tennessee - Mayor David Briley and Councilwoman Nancy VanReece officially reopen Oakwood Park at 1:30 p.m., tomorrow, April 13. The park reopens with a totally different look, new amenities, a unique playground, and a spectacular view of downtown Nashville from Mount Oakwood, the park’s peak.
Recent improvements to Oakwood, a 25-acre park located at 2701 Bethwood Drive, includes a new playground, rehabilitation of existing basketball courts, water fountain, benches, trash cans, picnic tables, signage, landscaping, and drainage improvements. Vehicular access was completely removed from the interior of the park, enhancing the pedestrian aspects. A primitive trail was blazed on the eastern slope to the top of the hill where it ties to an existing trail that wraps back down on the west creating a one mile loop.
The new, innovative playground is unique to Metro Parks and Oakwood. The equipment was engineered in Belgium by a company that is internationally known for their work and knowledge in the area of play – specifically focusing on how effective play design can motivate children, families, and communities to play, interact, and learn.
Who: Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation and Councilwoman Nancy VanReece
What: Ribbon-cutting ceremony with Mayor David Briley, Councilwoman Nancy VanReece, and
Parks Director Monique Odom
When: 1:30 p.m., tomorrow, Saturday, April 13, 2019
Where: 2701 Bethwood Drive
