Nashville: Remember to vote on Tuesday
If you’re reading this on Tuesday, Nov. 5 before 6 p.m., you still have time to vote in the Nashville election.
In-town Nashville residents are voting this fall for town council members from Districts 2 and 3 and for town clerk-treasurer.
All in-town Nashville residents are eligible to vote if they are registered voters. The polling place at Town Hall is open between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Nov. 5.
Election results will be posted online this week at bcdemocrat.com and in next week’s paper.
Three of the four town council candidates participated in a forum on Oct. 24 sponsored by the League of Women Voters Brown County. Read their answers at bcdemocrat.com/2019/10/30/qa-town-council-candidate-forum.
The rest of Brown County will not have an opportunity to vote until 2020.
Don’t worry; it’s only a drill
If you see a bunch of emergency vehicles at the Brown County Fairgrounds on Saturday, think nothing of it. It’s only a drill.
The Brown County Local Emergency Planning Committee and Brown County Emergency Management are sponsoring a full-scale exercise for all emergency response agencies in Brown County on Saturday, Nov. 9 between noon and 5 p.m.
A full-scale exercise allows first responders to practice responding to a large-scale incident in real time. There will be an actual “scene” that responders must go to, and they will be working the incident in real time just like they would if it was a real-world call, explained EMA Director Susan Armstrong in a press release. Actors in make-up will pretend to be injured, and there will be other props that will give responders a more realistic scene to practice in.
Anyone wishing to observe the exercise is welcome to attend, Armstrong said. An area will be set up for observers. “We ask that you arrive at the fairgrounds no later than 12:30 p.m. so that once the exercise starts, we have limited traffic coming in and out of the area,” she said.
