The city of Maryville Police Department also placed second overall in its size in the prestigious Law Enforcement Challenge competition. Two other awards were presented to Maryville personnel. “Each year the Tennessee Highway Safety Office in conjunction with the National Highway Transportation Administration recognizes law enforcement organizations in East Tennessee for achievements in traffic safety,” Traffic Lieutenant Michael Braden explained. “Our department participates in the challenge each year in order to measure our success against other agencies in the state. The goal remains to keep our roads safer throughout the year.” Maryville Police Corporal Ben Belitz was awarded East Tennessee Officer of the Year. According to Braden, “Corporal Belitz is dedicated to our traffic safety program and his diligence in his field secured this win. He worked hard to help design and implement the traffic safety program.” The department’s second place win overall reflects its excellence in several categories of traffic safety. The Georgia Highway Safety Office scores and judges the applicants by a combination of statistical performance as well as presentation of information. In addition to these awards, Officer Travis Hill was recognized for Impaired Driving Enforcement and Officer Matthew Tipton was recognized for speed enforcement. “These awards are a reflection of the hard work of our entire department,” said Chief Tony Crisp. “It is a rewarding experience for our staff to be recognized for the work they do every day and we appreciate the Tennessee Highway Safety Office for their support.” For more information about the Maryville Police Department, please visit www.maryvillegov.com. Due to the success of the program last year, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) will continue the winter trout stocking program at Maryville’s Greenbelt Lake/ Pistol Creek in 2020/21.
Fish were stocked in the Greenbelt Lake and upstream to the Jack Green amphitheater area on December 18, 2020. With the appropriate state-issued license, anglers will be able to fish from the banks of the lake and stream throughout this area. Sally Petre, TWRA biologist explained that rainbow trout will be stocked three times over the winter months when water temperatures are ideal for the species. The next round will take place Thursday, January 21, 2021 and the final for the winter will be on Thursday, February 11. Nine hundred fish were stocked in December. Adding the greenbelt lake to the stocking program has been an ongoing effort for Little River Chapter Trout Unlimited. Members of the club will dedicate their volunteer efforts to their adopted area of the greenway where the fish will be stocked. According to club president Ernie Frey, 16 club members removed more than 150 pounds of litter in early December in preparation for the stocking. The club will clean up again in March after the stocking program has concluded. "We are grateful for the dedication of the Little River Chapter for their ongoing commitment to the beautification and enjoyment of one of our best natural resources," said City Manager Greg McClain. "People with hearts for service is what makes our community so special." It is important to note that people who take advantage of this opportunity also need to take responsibility to clean up after themselves and not leave trash or hooks and lines behind. Fishing must occur from the banks since floating vessels are not allowed in the lake. A state fishing license with a trout stamp is required for any person age 13 or older. There are many types of fishing licenses available – and can be obtained at sporting goods stores or on the TWRA website. Petre also explained, “You can also buy your license on the ‘TWRA on the go’ app which provides a convenient way to get a license on demand.” Limits on daily catch and other information is available through the TWRA website tnwildlife.org or by phone at 615-781-6500. For licensing and other TWRA information, visit the website tnwildlife.org or phone 615-781-6500. See the stocking calendar here. For information about Trout Unlimited visit lrctu.org.
