NRA safety sessions aimed at students

Written by 

The National Rifle Association will offer a seminar called “Refuse To Be A Victim” several times in coming weeks in Waynesville, focused on crime prevention and personal safety strategies for college bound students, such as mental awareness, preparation and avoidance techniques. This is not a defensive tactics or firearms class.  

Harry Katt, a retired law enforcement officer with more than 30 years of police experience, will present the program. Seminar topics include personal threat assessments, basic criminal behaviors, awareness and avoidance concepts, personal safety tactics, technological security and more. Seminar participants will be presented with a variety of common-sense crime prevention and personal safety strategies.

The classes take place from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on March 17, March 31, April 14, April 28, at Copper Leaf Café in Waynesville. Cost is $25.

    Situated in the southeastern corner of Tennessee, the city of Chattanooga is a rapidly growing, bustling hub of culture and commerce in Southern Appalachia. Like Asheville, both cities went through hard times following the end of their manufacturing eras. Each became stagnant, searching for an identity that eventually evolved into prosperous havens for artists, musicians, chefs, craft brewers, etc.

    We have lots of bug barns in our house: from the old-fashioned Mason jar with holes punched in the lid to a new-fangled, plastic-domed “ladybug playground” with tiny slides and such.

     

    I wager in most families bug barns are relegated to the backyard. Ours, however, take up residence on the kitchen table, with up to four bug barns simultaneously occupied by caterpillars, ants, moths, beetles and even spiders.
