["Wallace Coffey" <jwcoffey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Administrative Lieutenant Terry Napier of the Bristol Tennessee Police 
Department 
is being named today as the interim director of the Bristol Tennessee 
Department of 
Leisure Services.  He fills a position created by the April 18 resignation of 
the director.

Bristol Bird Club has a long term relationship with the Steele Creek Park Nature
Center and Steele Creek Park which are facilities and programs operated by 
Leisure
Services.  

A source close to the city report that City Manager Jeff Broughton 
has an extensive interest in the city parks, particularly Steele Creek and the 
park's
nature center.  Broughton will attend a Monday, May 7,  annual meeting of the 
Friends of Steele Creek Park Nature Center which will be held at the Park Lodge 
at 5:30 p.m.

He is expected to announce goals for 2008.  The city is planning a $162,000 
budget increase 
for the department which, among other things, will include funds for 
architectural design
for a major renovation and an extensive addition to the current nature center 
building.

Let's go birding.....
