the projects are designed to put the school’s mission statement into practice. “In part, our mission statement says we want our students to become servants and leaders in their communities,” Scheck said. “Projects like this help our students not only recognize the needs within their community, they also help students see the impact that can be made when people work together to benefit the community.” Students from the 6th through 12th grades participated in a wide variety of indoor and

I am now more thankful to know I am healthy and not in too much danger of loosing anyone close to me now.” Seventh Grader, Allison Mahabir, who worked at Feed the Children, stated, “We all learned that we need to be thankful for what we have. I would love to do this again!” Chelsey Price, also a seventh grader summed up the sentiments of all the students, “I think it was a great experience to be with friends while helping others at the same time.”

Man claims ‘vendetta’ in sign citations Received 20 in one day for violations, claims due to car accident with MJPD officer By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor In response to local real estate agents voicing concerns that they are being “targeted” by Mt. Juliet City codes enforcers, one Mt. Juliet man who was cited 20 times in one day claims there is a “vendetta” against him for being involved in a traffic accident with a Mt. Juliet policeman. Michael Cawthon of Mt. Juliet is employed by Redirections, a company which “redirects” homebuyers to new home communities. Cawthon is independently contracted, he said, to place signs in Mt. Juliet to promote subdivisions such as Cobblestone Landing and Del Webb. In early February, Cawthon was placing signs along N. Mt. Juliet Road near West Wilson Middle School at around 11:30 p.m. He said he chooses the late hour because there is less traffic as he places his signs along the street. Cawthon said that although the hazard lights on his vehicle were on as well as a flashing orange light on the roof of his truck, a Mt. Juliet Police officer rear-ended his vehicle “at a high rate of speed,” damaging his trailer and truck and causing the “complete destruction” of the officer’s vehicle. According to City officials, the officer was also hospitalized. Cawthon said that the City “settled,” paying for his truck and trailer, and that before that time he didn’t have any problems with sign codes enforcers. But soon he was cited for a real estate sign – not because of the distance from the right of way, the problem many other Realtors have experienced, but because of the number of signs per property. The ordinance, Cawthon said, mandates only two signs per property, and he had three in some areas. When Cawthon went to pick up his confiscated signs, he said, he was told he didn’t have to pay the $20 per sign to claim them. But when City Codes Enforcer Julie Johnston discovered he was the person in the accident with the MJPD officer, Cawthon said, her

attitude changed. “She said that (being involved in the accident) wasn’t good for me,” Cawthon said. “And now they’re trying to pick on me because the City had to pay for my truck, so I have to pay the City back now.” He’s paying the City back, Cawthon said, to the tune of nearly $4,000, since he was cited 20 t i m e s on April 18, and e a c h citation costs $187.50. He also has to appear in court on June 9 – his birthday. “Mr. Cawthon was cited for each sign placed in the public right of way in violation of the sign ordinance,” was the response Tuesday in a joint comment by Mt. Juliet City Manager Randy Robertson and Public Works Director Marlin Keel. “Contrary to what Mr. Cawthon states, Ms. Johnston did not make the statement as alleged by Mr. Cawthon. Ms. Johnston is a Codes Enforcement professional who takes her job most seriously and treats all with due respect.” In response to a public information request submitted by this newspaper to the City of Mt. Juliet concerning the number of signs confiscated and the number of citations issued during the period of April 20 to May 1, 2009, it was revealed that Codes Enforcer Steve Thomas picked up 68 signs and issued 5 citations, and Johnston picked up 37 signs and issued 7 citations during that time frame. Of the 11 copied citations obtained by this newspaper for those two weeks, every citation was written to a Realtor or a real estate-related sign, such as Cawthon’s. A public information request for the names of the people who had signs confiscated but did not receive a citation had not been fulfilled by press time Tuesday. Karen Mitchell with American Dreams Realty in Lebanon was cited on April 24 for a sign marketing a house for sale on Belinda Parkway. And while she admits that she “was in error and completely ignorant of the ordinance,” she does think the cost of the citation “is very excessive.” “Realtors are at a disadvantage right now,” Mitchell said. “This is one

of the industries being hardest hit by the economic downturn right now, and then we’re hit with citations that are over $200, when you include the $20 to get your sign back. And we’re trying to generate homeowner interest in the city and bring new families to the area. It’s a double whammy for us.” Another double whammy came after Mitchell replaced her sign the next

Info on what S. MJRD biz owners should do with signs in ROW to be sent this week By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor Business owners along Mt. Juliet Road north of Division Street should receive a letter by the end of this week, City officials said Tuesday, explaining their options regarding their business signs before the highway expansion project begins. Business owners will have 30 days from the date they receive the letter from the City of Mt. Juliet to remove their sign, according to a motion approved by the Mt. Juliet city commission at a special meeting held Thursday, April 30. Mt. Juliet Public Works Assistant Director Cajun Joyner said Tuesday that the letter should be sent out by the end of this week and is currently in the final drafting stages by City attorneys. Joyner added that the letter will be sent out via certified letter and regular mail, and then City officials will contact business owners who do not reply. According to the approved amended motion provided by City officials, if the business sign is in the right of way (ROW) along Mt. Juliet Road from Division to Lebanon Road, the city will offer to reimburse the cost of replacing a nonconforming sign with a conforming sign. If declined, the City will reimburse the relocation cost of the nonconforming sign pursuant to the 2005 estimate offered to business owners at that time. It is at the owner’s discretion as to

whether the non conforming sign is placed inside or out of the easement area. As to the easement area, the owner shall be allowed to replace the nonconforming sign in the same location once road construction is completed or they may accept the city’s offer to replace with a conforming sign. Those who elect to place their sign in the easement area do run the risk of the sign being damaged at no cost to the City if any utilities ever need to be accessed in the easement area. The letter will be accompanied by a Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) form, said Mt. Juliet City Attorney Jason Holleman, with a notice to vacate the business sign from the premises within 30 days. Since N. Mt. Juliet Road is a State highway, TDOT is in charge of the widening of Mt. Juliet Road. Holleman said that some signs may not conform to the City’s current sign ordinance, and “basically, they (the business owners) can take the funds offered by the City and move their sign out of the right of way or take the funds plus any additional money to comply with the sign ordinance and build a new sign.” “We want to give an incentive to conform to the new sign ordinance and will talk about compromising with the business owner,” Holleman said. Holleman said that in order to obtain additional

payment for the construction of a conforming sign the business owner must do four things: present the City with a “reasonable” estimate of construction cost in advance; obtain written approval from City Manager Randy Robertson for the estimate; construct the sign; and submit invoiced evidence of the actual cost of the sign. He added that the city manager may deny payment if the actual cost of the new sign exceeds prior approved estimates. All of this, City officials said, will be included in the letter to business owners this week. They did not know how long the project will take or how long business owners will be without a sign.

UMC’s new four-story, all private patient room tower containing approximately 77,000 square feet of new construction includes 60 new private patient rooms, shelled space for future use in anticipation of the county’s continued growth, outpatient rehab space, a new entry/drop-off area, a lower entrance level lobby, and support spaces. “We are very excited to bring this new facility to our community,” said Vince Cherry, CEO of UMC. “Our patients, families and physicians have requested and will soon get private patient rooms… the design of the patient tower will allow for all private patient rooms using maximum efficiency and flexibility for future growth. Through recent renovations we have converted several of our units to all private rooms and on an ongoing basis we make every effort possible to make these available to our patients. Although a significant number of our rooms are private, this tower will ensure once and for all that patients will have private rooms in the future. The new patient tower, coupled with our expanded emergency department, obstetrics renovation and the addition of an extensive amount of new equipment and state of the art systems ensure the very best in patient care. We will continue to grow with Wilson County.” For more information, please call 443-2503.

are other signs out there not taken up at all. I just think it’s excessive, all around.” Alerting area Realtors and real estate companies has been a major endeavor since the new sign ordinance was passed in September 2008, according to Robertson and Keel. “Between September 2008 and April 2009, the focus of our Codes Enforcement remained on educating citizens and business owners of Mt. Juliet,” the City officials said. “In fact, for several months, our Codes Enforcement Officers would ‘tag’ signs and call the sign owner in an effort to advise the owner that the sign was located in violation with the ordinance and the nature of the violation. No citations were issued during this period of time.” Robertson said that in April 2009, after about

six months of education and communication, City officials shifted their efforts from education and information, to enforcement of the ordinance. That enforcement, according to the complaints of those cited, has a hefty price tag and is “hurting the citizens of Mt. Juliet.” Daryl Spicer with Penix and Spicer Real Estate and Auction said that although he “put my sign where it was supposed to be,” and even one foot farther than it was supposed to be, he had an instance when a homeowner mowed the yard and moved the sign, and Spicer was cited. He said he was especially concerned about a “shortsale situation” in which homeowners had to sell their home quickly. He said even one day with no For Sale sign in that yard would hurt those homeowners in need of selling their home quickly. And as for the price of the citation, at $187.50 per sign and a $20 claim fee, many area Realtors are feeling the pinch. Mt. Juliet District 1 City Commissioner Ted Floyd said Tuesday that the price is set by the court and approved by the commission, and has most likely been in place for

several years. Floyd added that the current sign ordinance was drafted “to comply with Federal and Constitutional law, to regulate signs.” “The Mt. Juliet Codes people went for months holding off, not giving tickets, telling people about the signs,” Floyd said. “But honestly, real estate signs within the city limits are probably 95 – 99 percent of the violations. The codes people probably got frustrated dealing with it. The real estate people should just quit putting the signs out where they’re not supposed to, and then they won’t get cited for it.” Floyd said he thinks there is “definitely a shortage of codes employees.” He added that he thinks the sign ordinance will stay the way it is, despite area Realtors who want the ordinance “revisited” and perhaps revised. “I don’t see the current city commission revisiting it,” Floyd said. “If the real estate people want it changed so they can put their signs out, then everyone will be able to put their signs out so that it’s fair, and then what’s the

Despite a miserably rainy Friday, the Mt. Juliet Help Center’s annual Yard Sale/Book Fair netted $3,000 for the charitable foundation, which partnered with the Democratic Women of Wilson County for the event. State Executive Committee from the 17th Senatorial District and Democratic Women of Wilson County Member Mary Patterson said both organizations were pleased with the amount due to the weather, and that the sale had an interesting and different variety of items for sale this year, including tools, and large, big-ticket items such as a freezer and refrigerator. Goodwill Industries hauled off what items didn’t sell, and Patterson said that for each large bin of goods donated to Goodwill the Help Center receives a $20 voucher to the store for Help Center participants to redeem. The Mt. Juliet Help Center provides food and necessities for the less fortunate in the area, a number which is climbing in 2009. The Help Center is located at 3425B N. Mt. Juliet Road, Call 615-754-HELP for more information. SIGNS from Page 5 Thursday, Mt.

VENDETTA, from Page 8 point of the regulated sign ordinance?” But Cawthon, as well as many local Realtors, think the City is practicing discrimination. Local Realtor Bob Sorey said last week that he had contacted a Federal attorney with hopes that the attorney would investigate the matter, but on Tuesday said he had placed the matter in the hands of Eastern Middle Tennessee Association of Realtors President Lyndon LaFevers. Sorey added that he requested a meeting with City officials on Friday to “work out the matter, but have not had the courtesy of a return call.” “It’s definitely

discrimination,” Cawthon said Monday. “I have pictures of signs within the city limits that have been there for nine months. If (codes enforcers) are going to enforce just one part of the city limits, or just one section, then that is discrimination. She (Johnston) needs to enforce it with everyone, every sign, and all areas in the city.” On the subject of discrimination and fairness, Floyd reiterated that the sign ordinance was crafted to make the regulation of signs equal and constitutional, and that the rules need to apply to everyone. “You can bet in election time you won’t see any signs in the right of way,” he added.

Mock DUI wreck opens eyes at MJHS By Connie Esh Special to The Chronicle Local emergency personnel and law enforcement responded to a “serious” accident Thursday in front of Mt. Juliet High School on Curd Road here. The accident appeared “serious,” but in realty was a mock fatal DUI wreck set up to let students see what could happen if they choose to drink and drive. Since the Mt Juliet Prom is this weekend, officials said they hope the mock wreck will encourage the students not to take chances on prom night. Initially, a mother who happened to roll up onto the scene called 911 to advise emergency responders of the crash, and then she realized her own daughter had been involved. Quickly, Mt. Juliet Police Department, Wilson County Sheriff’s Department and Wilson County Emergency Management Agency arrived on the scene to help the victims. Police officers immediately took the distraught mother away from the scene. Once on the scene, everyone realized that this was a major headon crash involving two vehicles. One vehicle had three occupants, and two of them had been ejected. They were not showing any signs of life. The third

backseat passenger was critically injured and could not move. The second vehicle had four occupants, one of which was a drunk driver. Beer bottles littered the roadway. When WEMA personnel decided that one critically injured passenger needed to be taken to a trauma center immediately, a LifeFlight helicopter was dispatched and landed on the scene. LifeFlight nurses rushed over to the crash scene, loaded the critical patient, and rushed her back to the helicopter. After all the injured were cared for, officers had to investigate the possibility of drunk driving. WCSD Cpl. Ray Justice gave the driver field sobriety testing and placed him under arrest for driving under the influence and transported him to Wilson County Jail. The entire event was over in about a half-hour, but in real life, as Justice told the students, this would only be the beginning of the pain and trouble the students and their families would have to face. This was not a real crash, and no one was hurt or killed. However, reality sank in for the many students at Mt. Juliet High as they watched the incident unfold. The group’s goal was

for the students to visualize the consequences of drunk driving. With the prom set for Saturday in Nashville at Gaylord Opryland Hotel, this was a great opportunity, organizers said, to relay the message. The event was staged with the help of the many first responders, volunteers, teachers and students, including event coordinators Tyler Chandler, MJPD Community Policing director; Jan Dickens, Health Science teacher at MJHS; and Justice with the WCSD. Other groups which participated were LifeFlight, Hamblen’s Wrecker Service, MJPD Citizens’ Police Academy alumni volunteers and Mt. Juliet High’s HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America). The MJHS students whose realistic portrayals made the event come to life included Carter Loftis, acting as the drunk driver; Chelsea Atnip, Shelby Bush, Kiara Carver, Katherine Stephens, Shelley Choudhury and Taylor Dunn. Mrs. Kimberly Choudhury portrayed the distraught mother. Making sure the injuries looked like the real thing were MJHS make-up artists Dana Harrison, instructor; Trang Huynh, Alexus Wade, Samantha Messerschmidt, Keri Messerschmidt and Ashley Anderson, students.

Judge rules Wilson Co. schools Nat’l Day of Prayer posters can include ‘God’ From staff reports Wilson County Schools cannot ban the phrases “In God We Trust,” “God Bless America” or other religious references from student posters, U.S. District Court Judge Robert Echols ruled Friday. One result of the ruling is that posters in Wilson County Schools for the National Day of Prayer scheduled for Friday can include the word God and other Christian quotes. The case stems from posters made by children at Lakeview Elementary for “Meet Me at the Pole,” a student-led prayer event, last fall. School officials required the parents to change the posters or cover the religious content of the posters for the event, insisting that even “In God We Trust” had to be covered. The parents covered the words with green paper provided by Lakeview Assistant Principal Bertie Alligood. In response, five sets of parents sued the district. They argued that school officials violated their children’s freedom of religion. Echols ruled in their favor. He issued a preliminary injunction, barring the school system from censoring religious speech on posters. Any future policy must be “reasonable, viewpointneutral, and in accordance with federal law,” he ruled. He also said that this was only a preliminary ruling, and the final decision will not be made until after the case comes to trial. Nate Kellum, senior counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund which represented the parents, said the ruling will allow his clients to put up posters for Thursday’s National Day of Prayer without incident.

“We are elated with the judge’s ruling,” he said. Lakeview is the same school where last year, Echols ruled that the school system had illegally promoted religion by

allowing a group called the Praying Parents too much access to the school. This year, the school system was sued by some of the same Praying Parents for allowing too little religious

access. Kellum said he hopes Wilson County’s legal troubles with religion are over. “We don’t anticipate any more legal action with

Wilson County,” he said. Wilson County Schools’ Director Mike Davis said the school system “will abide by whatever the judge ruled.”

Sixth Annual Toast to Tennessee to be featured on TN Crossroads By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor In its 6th year of toasting the wineries, crafts and music of Tennessee, this year a local festival will be spotlighted on one of the state’s most popular educational programs: Tennessee Crossroads. The 6th Annual A Toast to Tennessee Wine Festival, set for Saturday, May 16, at Nashville Shores will be filmed this year and included in a future episode of Tennessee Crossroads on Nashville Public Television, according to wine festival Chair John Sloan. “We are very excited to have Tennessee Crossroads visit A Toast To Tennessee this year,” Sloan said. “As a festival that promotes Tennessee wines, foods, and gifts, we feel everyone across our fair state should know about our event.

I plan lots of daytrips because of things I see on TCR.” Festival coordinators

and Mt. Juliet Chamber volunteers hope that others in the area and beyond will venture out to Nashville Shores on May 16 for the wine festival, and that the future television coverage will get the word out to wine lovers across the state so they will attend the festival in 2010. “This was a marvelous opportunity not only for us through Tennessee Crossroads, but for Tennessee Crossroads as well,” added Algood. “Their mission is to showcase the best of what our state has to offer. This festival is certainly the best!”

Reflections from an Old Friend Moms and Dads Have you ever wondered why we kids have so many different names for our Moms and Dads? We use names like mom, mommy, moms, mother, dad, daddy, dadio, pops, pappy, old man, father and so on. What we should call our parents are brilliant, smart, loving, caring, giving, dedicated and awesome parents. I can remember many a time when I thought my mom and dad had special powers. I often thought my dad was Colombo and mom was Angie Dickinson, better known as Police Woman. It seemed no matter what I did, they knew about it. At the time I didn’t like it one bit. I couldn’t get away with anything and eventually was too scared to try anything daring or rebellious for fear of being caught and prosecuted to the fullest degree by mom and dad. Miraculously, everything they said would happen happened. It was like they had a crystal ball and could predict the future and my actions, both good and bad, but especially bad. The question I have is why does it take so long for us kids to realize just how special and wise our parents are? Why do we think we know more than they do at times, especially, when we’re young? I know it’s a little thing called lack of knowledge, experience or is it ignorance and hardheadedness? Looking back over the years and many things my parents have done for me is downright amazing. I can remember my mom working back to back shifts just to make ends meet, preparing meals when she was so sick she could barely stand and sacrificing time and time again for her children. Just take a moment to think of all the special things and sacrifices your parents have made for you. If it doesn’t put a lump in your throat and tears in your eyes, then you have yet to realize just how special your parents are. Right this very moment a very dedicated father is on his way to a second job, going straight from one job to the other without so much as a moments rest, all for the sake of his children. These are all examples of true love and dedication from parents to their children. This is my way of saying to all parents, thanks for being there for your children. It is indeed hard work that goes without much fanfare or recognition, but we know that you don’t do it for gratification, fanfare or recognition; you do it for the love of your children. And lucky for us kids you don’t expect much in return, because what we lacked in brains as kids, we now lack in money. Ha! Ha! Does that ring any familiar bells? Same verse, same old song and dance. Anyway, parents are great and I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that even though we didn’t always show it as kids, we without a doubt love our moms and dads. Thanks for giving your blood, sweat and tears so that we could have the lives we have. Thank God for Moms and Dads!
