License plate reading cameras approved in Tusculum

Tusculum drivers will see permanent license plate readers following a successful 90-day trial. The City Board of Mayor and Commissioners approved a year-long contract to keep four Genetec cameras tracking major entry points, including East Andrew Johnson Highway, Erwin Highway, and Shiloh Road. Tusculum Police Chief Danny Greene says the technology helped crack cases that might have otherwise gone cold, including tracking an armed robbery suspect from nearby Greeneville. The cameras snap photos of plates and cross-reference them with the National Crime Information Center database to flag stolen vehicles, sex offenders, and active AMBER alerts. Chief Greene emphasized that the system does not use AI, and data is strictly managed by three certified officers for active investigations.

Mount Carmel dedicates town park improvements

MOUNT CARMEL — Gene Christian is gone, but he is certainly not forgotten. The longtime Mount Carmel alderman and Hawkins County Commissioner passed away on June 3 of this year at the age of 83, but it was decided back in September that his memory would be honored at a new building being constructed in the town’s park. That vision became a reality on Tuesday, Nov. 3, when the town celebrated the grand opening of the newly-christened Eugene “Gene” Christian Memorial facility, and held a ribbon-cutting with several local dignitaries from in and out of the town participating. At the same time, the George Eidson Pavilion, which was refurbished using some of the money from a grant awarded through the 2023 Local Parks and Recreation Fund (LPRF) program, was reopened. The grant was for $200,000 and carried a $200,000 local match. It enabled this work, along with new playground equipment, swings, and the new pickleball courts that opened in 2025, to become a reality. “(When) I was being told what all was going on today, I thought, how fitting. Because if you knew Gene, there’s one thing you knew about him is that he loved the community that he served
