Halloween in the Park, held last Saturday at Charlie Daniels Park, reportedly drew around 7,000 ghosts, goblins, skeletons, Michael Jackson look-alikes and princesses, as seen above as Hadley, Reese, and Abbie show off their loot from the day’s event. There were costume contests, animal petting boths, and a train ride, as well as food and vendors. “To me, Halloween in the Park exemplifies the great spirit of Mt Juliet,” remarked Mt. Juliet City Manager Randy Robertson. Don’t miss the Community Yard Sale in the park on October 24.

The Community Center at Charlie Daniels Park was unveiled to reveal a 2,800 square foot, stateof-the-art meeting room, fully equipped kitchen and expanded exercise area. This was yet another chapter in a story of a partnership between the City of Mt. Juliet and the Panattoni Corporation. This past summer, the Hamilton brothers of the Panattoni Corporation, Hayne and Whitfield, announced their intent to build a new facility just off the newly opened Beckwith Road intersection at I-40 in Mt. Juliet. “Being the excellent corporate citizens that they are,” City Manager Randy Robertson said, “the Hamiltons donated a set of flagpoles and flags to the Charlie Daniels Park. During the installation, Hayne mentioned that he was looking for a world-class entertainer for their groundbreaking ceremony.” Enter Charlie Daniels, who performed at the Panattoni ground breaking. Shortly thereafter, Panattoni agreed to assist with expanding Mt. Juliet’s

Cumberland will offer the BSN (Bacherlor’s of Science in Nursing) Completion Program at the Shiloh Shopping Center beginning in January 2010 with 25 slots for students. The program will be staffed with new and current teachers. Classes will be held on nights and weekends for working adults trying to finish their degrees. “We chose Mt. Juliet because of the growth pattern coming east from Metro Nashville,” Eaton said. “We will be able to draw students from Donelson, Hermitage, Old Hickory and Mt. Juliet.” Eaton said that 175 people had already signed up for the 25 slots and hinted that more slots would open up in the future to make room for all those with interest in being a nurse. He also said that Cumberland will also offer Microbiology as well as Anatomy and Physiology classes and labs at Environmental Science Corporation, located on Lebanon Road in Mt.

Shoe drive benefits Soles4Souls charity at community yard sale Mt. Juliet, Wilson County residents invited to recycle ‘gently worn’ shoes for people in need Every nine seconds Soles4Souls, Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. The shoe charity has earned glowing endorsements from Hollywood stars and professional athletes, but the people that truly make the non-profit organization effective are those who clean out their closets to personally drop off their “gently worn” shoes at a participating location, such as the Mt. Juliet Community Yard Sale. For a limited time, Soles4Souls and Unity Church for Positive Living will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or donations to ship the shoes to a person in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living
in extreme poverty. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. They charity can use
each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone’s life. “We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to change the
world one pair at a time,” said Dr. Hugh Terrell, A UCPL volunteer. “We need partners in Wilson County to ‘step up’ and get behind our call for action. It’s one of the most simple yet profound gifts you can make, because it greatly improve someone’s life in the most difficult of times.” The Community Yard Sale will be held on Saturday, October 24, at Charlie Daniels Park, from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. Look for the Unity Church for Positive Living donation booth – and bring your shoes! For more information on donating to Shoes4Souls email UCPL coordinator Les Leff at BDLVOICE@ bellsouth.net or volunteer Hugh Terrell at wwdrhugh@ yahoo.com.

Hutto announces candidacy for county mayor Submitted Longtime educator and Wilson County native Randall Hutto announced Monday his candidacy for Wilson County Mayor in the August, 2010 general election. Hutto, 48, presently serves as the assistant director of schools for the Lebanon Special School District.. Prior to taking this position in 2003, he spent 18 years as a classroom teacher and coach in the Wilson County School System. “This is a challenge I don’t take lightly,” Hutto said. “I’m willing to serve and try to make a difference in this county. My work career began in a family store pumping gas and bagging groceries. I was a butcher, worked my way through college and began teaching at the age of 24 and hopefully influenced lives as a teacher and a coach. “As an administrator with the LSSD, I’ve interacted with and led adults, worked closely with a $24 million budget and overseen the day-to-day operation of nine schools / offices within our system. I feel I’m ready for this next step in my public service career.” Hutto is a member of the Lebanon Breakfast Rotary Club and in 2002 was honored by Lebanon High as a Community Service Hero. Hutto spent 12 seasons as the head coach of the Lebanon High boys basketball team and was a three-time selection as the Class AAA boys District 7AAA basketball coach of the year by the Tennessee Athletic Coaches Association. In 1999 he coached in the Tennessee East-West All-Star game and in 1996 was named Midstate Coach of the Year by The Nashville Banner. He took three LHS teams to the TSSAA State Tournament and compiled an overall record of 237 wins and 127 losses as coach of the Blue Devils. The Lebanon Jaycees honored Hutto in 1994 and Outstanding Religious Leader of the Year and in 1993 as Outstanding Young Educator of the Year. In addition to his accolades as a basketball coach, he was voted four times as assistant football coach of the year in District 7AAA / Region 4, 5A and in the Midstate. Hutto has been married to his wife Paula (Riggan) for the past 23 years, he and his wife are
parents of three children – Alex (18), Megan (15) and Brett (11). They are active
members of the Immanuel Baptist Church where Hutto presently serves as an active deacon. He has chaired the Personnel Committee and the Committee on Committees. He has also spent several years teaching an adult Sunday School class. A 1978 graduate of Watertown High School, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Middle Tennessee State University and in 1994 earned a Masters Degree in Administration and Supervision from Trevecca Nazarene University with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. He also earned additional academic credit (plus 30 hours) at MTSU and Tennessee Tech University. “I feel I am highly qualified as a leader, a communicator and an organizer. If elected, I will strive to promote unity between the three municipalities in Wilson County and listen to the citizens of this county,” Hutto said. “Team-building will be a goal – bringing the right people together to tackle the tough issues this county will face in the coming years. Among these are: working with the County Commission to find and implement a reliable funding stream for education, addressing the efficiency of county government, recruitment of industry / jobs and improving the standard of living for all Wilson Countians. “Having worked in school administration, I’ve learned there are hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal and state grants available for schools and municipalities, such as energy-saving programs, transportation, housing – that sort of thing. Wilson County needs to be proactive to secure these monies and help take some of the burden off the local tax payer.” The Hutto campaign will hold a tailgate party Friday, Oct. 16, at the Watertown Public Square. Slated to get
underway at 5 p.m., the event will also serve as an opportunity to “meet and greet” Hutto and his family. The following day, the candidate asks supporters to meet at 10:30 a.m. in the parking lot of College Hills Church of Christ. Supporters will caravan to Lebanon’s Public Square for a formal announcement at 11 a.m. followed free food, beverages and music. On Saturday, Oct. 17, supporters will gather at the Providence Marketplace in Mt. Juliet for a 6 p.m. rally and remarks from the candidate.

From staff reports The reward for information on whoever is responsible for the shooting of a young girl’s horse three weeks ago has now grown to a possible $3,500. Chief Larry Bowman with the Wilson County Sherrif’s Department said that a man, who wishes to remain anonymous, called in and offered $500 in addition to the amount given by Wilson County Crime Stoppers. The maximum reward given by Crime Stoppers is $1,000, but a board decides exactly how much to award for the information. The family is also offering $1,000 for information on whoever is responsible for the
shooting. This, along with $1,000 offered by another anonymous party last week, brings the total to potentially $3,500. “He said wanted to catch these sick individuals,” Bowman said of the latest donation from an anonymous person. “He wanted to add $500 to the reward and remain anonymous.” The incident happened sometime late Tuesday night, Sept. 22 or early Wednesday morning, Sept. 23 at 4640 S.E. Tater Peeler Road in Lebanon. Shea Blankenship, 17 and a student at Wilson Central High School, was heartbroken to learn the news that her beloved race horse, Magic, had been shot and killed. Magic was shot
one time, according to the results from an autopsy done on the horse. Earlier reports that the horse had been shot nine times were incorrect. Shea’s father, Jeff, said he wants the person found so that the community can know what he or she did to a little girl’s horse. “We have interviewed people up and down that road,” Bowman said. “We’ve received several calls, but we don’t have anything concrete yet.” If you have any information about this shooting, call the family at (615) 631-8157 or (615) 495-6864. You may also call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 444-5245.

231 South in Lebanon in tents and campers due to the failing economy and the housing crisis. Two local churches have made the decision to help those staying at the campground by collecting items that cannot be bought with food stamps, such as toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent and toiletries, and handing them out to those in need. College Hills Church of Christ and Maple Hill Church of Christ are heading up this effort. Shane Helton, and his wife Melissa, are in charge of College Hills’ collection. They decided this needed to be done after hearing about students at Southside Elementary. “There are several kids living out there,” Melissa said. “One little girl in my kid’s class had shoes that were a couple sizes too small. After hearing about this, as well as seeing it on the TV news, Shane and I decided to go out to the campground and see what we could do to help.” Melissa said that the main needs are detergent, shampoo and clothes. The people there do not have a lot of clothes, so they wash the clothes they have quite a bit. The Heltons went out to the campground several times over a twoweek period. They said that at first they were not getting a very good response from the residents, but Melissa said that after going this past Sunday afternoon, they actually had fun passing out detergent and other items to the families as well as just getting to know them. The Heltons said that the stories are sad and very
touching. Many older people on fixed incomes have moved to the campground because they cannot afford the rent at their previous homes. Rent at the Timberline Campground is $325 per month, which includes water, electricity and sewage. “One older woman moved to Timberline with her husband,” Melissa said. “She wanted custody of her two granddaughters, but he did not so he left her there with the two girls. They have since been given a camper in which to live.” She added, “One family with one daughter lived at the campground all last year, and then moved to Florida. They moved back to the area and were living in a trailer, but it was destroyed in a tornado so they moved back to Timberline. They sometimes keep their grandkids.” “This isn’t anything new,” said Tammy Page, manager of Timberline Campground. “It may have increased a bit, but we’ve always had people here who are down on their luck.” Page said there are around 75 families living there, each with different situations, and 30-45 children. Timberline puts on a Halloween party each year for the children who live there, but campground personnel would appreciate help with the event this year. “We are going to put it on Saturday night Oct. 24,” Page said. “We cook chili and let the kids trickor-treat on the grounds.” T i m b e r l i n e Campground is located at 1204 Murfreesboro Road by Southside Elementary School in Lebanon.

The win broke a five-year losing streak to the Wildcats and places Roger Perry’s team squarely in the running for a post-season playoff berth. “We feel blessed to be in the position we’re in right now,” Coach Perry said. “There’s still a lot of room for improvement -- but our young men have stayed healthy and they’ve been willing to make those improvements.” Mt. Juliet took a 14-3 lead into the locker room at intermission, then broke the game open with three second half touchdowns. Bear quarterback Reed Gurchiek passed for three touchdowns and ran for another. Gurchiek rushed for 95 yards on 14 carries and passed for 95 yards, completing 8-of-16. Mt.

Gurchiek threw third-down touchdown passes of 20 and 6 yards to Chris Bazile on the Bears’ next two possessions. “We talk a lot about Wildcat Pride,” said Wilso Central head coach Traye Aric. “We found ourselves on the short end of the stick, but I had some young men -- our seniors especially who went out there and fought their tailends off. “We had some mistakes at the wrong times that allowed Mt. Juliet to stay on the field -- continue drives and score. But as far as going back and looking at effort, there’s several young men I’m extremely proud of.” Mt. Juliet piled up 289 yards in total offense and 15 first downs. The Bears ran for 196 yards on 41 carries -- led by Gurchiek’s 95 yards.

Reflections from an Old Friend Wouldn’t It Be Neat Wouldn’t it be neat if we had certain songs playing at different parts of our day? Think about how uplifting the song by Sister Sledge called “We are Family” would be during a family vacation or reunion. Think about how motivating James Brown’s song called “I Feel Good” would be after you had recovered from an illness or medical setback. Music has such a wonderful affect on our lives. It makes us think about life. It reminds us of the way we should see things. For example, our world has problems, issues and setbacks, but take a listen to Louis Armstrong’s song called “What a Wonderful World” and you’ll be inspired and uplifted every time. If you win a championship there is no better song to hear than Queen’s “We are the Champions” anthem. If you want a song to play for your spouse or sweetie it doesn’t get much better than Roberta Flack’s “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” or Gladys Knight’s “You’re the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me.” If you want a song to play for your mom to show and tell her how much you love her try playing Boys to Men’s “Song for Momma.” If you want a song to play for dad, give Conway Twitty’s “That’s My Job” song a listen. Garth Brooks has a song called “If Tomorrow Never Comes” that will make you think about life and making sure your family and friends know how much you love them. There is basically a song for everything. Thank goodness we have music in our lives that motivates, uplifts, challenges, stirs emotions and causes us to think about life and our many blessings. I just thought it would be cool to write an article that made us think about how music affects our lives. If music reminds you of how blessed you are then please listen. If music reminds you to tell and show your loved ones how much you love them then please listen. If music helps heal your broken heart then please listen. If music helps motivate and uplift you when you are down then please listen. If music affects you in a positive way then please listen. In closing, if there is power in just listening to music, then imagine how much power there are in kind words and being good to one another. Music for the most part reminds us daily of what we should be doing or did in the past that brought us comfort and memories of good times. That’s why the music makes you feel good.

The NHS will be accepting donations beginning October 26 at Wilson Central High School, including anything (clothing, furniture, still-working electronics, shoes, toys, baby items, bicycles, odds and ends, etc.) Of course, you’ll want to stop by and shop on November 7, too!
