Sheriff Eddie Farris & Police Chief Greg Etheredge discuss community relations.
Tuesday night would, in every other year, be the National Night Out Against Crime. But this is not every other year. The annual community building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships has been cancelled across most of the nation, or moved to October. It does give us, however, a good chance to reflect on our role in law enforcement as regular citizens. It also gives us a good launching point to talk police work in the context of the recent national discussion. Our guests – Putnam County Sheriff Eddie Farris, and Livingston Police Chief Greg Etheredge.

Join author Paula Casey to learn the Upper Cumberland’s part in women’s suffrage
During this 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage, we look back with Tennessee historian Paula Casey.

And more importantly, found their voice across the Upper Cumberland.

Join author Paula Casey to learn the Upper Cumberland’s part in women’s suffrage
It is the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote. And you may not know it, but Tennessee played a central role in making that happen across our nation, and there were efforts all across the Upper Cumberland in 1919 and 1920 that led the Tennessee legislature to make that move. We explore the history of women’s suffrage with author Paula Casey. She served as president of the Tennessee Women’s Suffrage Monument. She’s also written exclusively on this anniversary, and the women and men who moved the issue forward – some of them, Upper Cumberland residents.
