Wilson Black History Committee hosts fundraiser for restoration project By Connie Esh Special to The Chronicle State Sen. Thelma Harper (Dist. 19) told about 200 local supporters of restoring Pickett-Rucker Chapel Friday night that if she needed to get a job done, she would call on Mary Harris. Harris is the president of the Wilson County Black History Committee, which sponsored the fundraising banquet at James Ward Agricultural Center, where

Harper was the keynote speaker. Harper encouraged everyone present to pledge support for the project, saying, “The Lord didn’t give us money to take to the graveyard. He wants us to leave some of it here.” She emphasized the importance of the project as a way to preserve the history of African Americans for the children who come after. “Children will know what their great-greatgreat grandmothers and

grandfathers did,” Harper said. “They will learn from the struggles, and they will learn the work ethic from the slaves who built PickettRucker.” She pointed out children now have a hard time believing even some of the simplest changes that have come about since the chapel was built. No air-conditioning, for example. “The shade of the trees was all the airconditioning they had,” she said. “Had a horse and wagon, and rode to church fighting flies and gnats.” She added that her grandson didn’t believe her when she told him that. Harper said she also opposed any bill allowing any one to carry a concealed weapon into a church. “Church has always been where we go for comfort,” she said. “My concern now is we don’t look at church the way we once did. It was holy and safe.” She ended her speech by encouraging the group to work hard to complete the restoration and develop the building as a museum and history center. “It will be a center people will come to from all around to see how you did it,” she said. The chapel was originally built by slaves around 1827. It was the first brick building in Lebanon and served as a church for

Mt. Juliet business owner Lonnie Bender asked all those attending the Wilson County Heritage banquet Friday evening at the Ward Agriculture Center to volunteer time and money to help renovate the Pickett-Rucker Chapel. The building was the first brick building in Wilson County. ~ Photo by John Butwell whites and slaves until after the Civil War. In the late 1860s, the white congregation built another church and moved, giving Pickett-Rucker to the black community. It remained a black Methodist church until the congregation outgrew the building and moved to a larger building on C. L. Manier Street. Next, the historic chapel was home to a local theater group, and when they disbanded it was sold to the Black Historical Committee for a museum. The group plans

to completely restore the historic chapel and rename it the Roy Bailey African Museum and History Center. The museum will not only house artifacts gathered from all over Wilson County, it will provide a meeting place for a variety of historical programs, according to Harris. Anyone interested in contributing time, money, artifacts or skills to the restoration project should contact Harris at 444-9487 or email gballard@comcast. net. All donations are taxdeductible.

County gets $3.4M offer for entire 12 acres of Old MJES property By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor The highest offer so far was put on the table last week for what is arguably the most sought-after piece of real estate in Mt. Juliet, a county official said Monday, with a price tag of $3.4 million for 12 acres. Wilson County Mayor Robert Dedman said Monday that he received an offer on what is commonly known as the old Mt. Juliet Elementary School property, located at the corner of Mt. Juliet Road and Division, on Thursday, June 11. Dedman said he received the offer from a “local seller,” though wouldn’t divulge the name, for a total of $3.4 million for the entire 12 acres, although the offer “hasn’t been proved.” “There are four or five pages (in the offered contract) of ‘if, ands or buts,’ but it is for the entire 12 acres,” Dedman said Monday. “If we can sell the whole lot of it, that’s what (county officials) we’d prefer to do.” A contract for the sale of the property dated June 11 between Wilson County and Odell Binkley obtained on Tuesday by this newspaper lists the purchase price as $3.4 million with $100,000 as earnest money.

The contract states that “this sale will be closed on or before 90 days from the end of the due diligence period.” As far as zoning for the parcel, which was within the boundaries of the recently defunct Village Overlay District, the contract states that “If Buyer has not been able to obtain zoning for retail/ office/recreation facility and water and sewer capacity approval for $100,000 square feet + by the e n d of the contingency period, Buyer can extend this period by making $5,000 of the earnest money non refundable per month until such is obtained. If these items cannot be obtained in a time frame satisfactory to the Buyer, Buyer may cancel this contract and receive a refund of all earnest money that has not become non refundable. “Seller has 45 days from the receipt of this contract to accept or reject it.” Dedman said he sent the offer to Wilson County Attorney Mike Jennings and Wilson County Finance Officer Ron Gilbert for their consideration late last week. He added that Jennings had been out of the office until Monday and he’d yet to hear back from them. The county’s asking price for this property is reportedly

$3.5 million. Dedman said there are two other offers being considered for purchase of the property, including purchase of $1.1 million for around two acres. A letter of intent obtained by this newspaper and submitted by Kurt Wolfman of K Jon Realty states that he represents CVS Pharmacy and offered $1.1 million for two acres of the property. The letter was sent to Dedman on April 27. Wolfman said the offer is currently “going through the proper channels.” He added that there is not an expiration date on the offer, but he has yet to hear back from county officials. Binkley, a Mt. Juliet resident, said Tuesday that he earlier offered of $2.25 million for the entire 12 acres, which he presented to county officials “around a month ago.” He said he planned to develop retail and office space on the property but also has not gotten a response from county officials. Jennings said Tuesday that he has forwarded the offers to the Wilson County Public Works Department for consultation, but that committee has yet to schedule a meeting to discuss the offers.

The Old Mt. Juliet Elementary School property, considered by city leaders and officials to be one of the most prime pieces of real estate in the city, is owned by Wilson County, which has listed the 12-acre parcel at $3.5 million. It was the site of a temporary carnival through June 13, which benefitted the Wilson County Explorer program. ~ Photo by Tomi L. Wiley

since 1986

Nenator Mae Beavers and her Republican colleagues continued to debate the governor’s budget this week as the General Assembly attempts to formulate a reasonable budget for the state of Tennessee during these difficult economic times. “We believe that the state needs to live within its means during these hard times, and Republicans are working diligently to come up with a plan that cuts both spending and taxes in order for Tennesseans to get back on their feet during these hard times,” said Beavers. The budget will most likely be debated further in the House and Senate next week. Resolution sends message

Tennessee does not want to house GITMO Detainees The Tennessee State Senate voted this week to oppose bringing any detainees now housed at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba detention facility into any Tennessee prisons. The resolution, SJR 381, expresses opposition to the utilization of any local, state, federal or private jail, prison or detention facility in Tennessee. A copy of the resolution will be sent to President Barak Obama and each member of Tennessee’s Congressional Delegation. The resolution was approved by a vote of 29 to 1. The bill is still pending action in the House of Representatives. Senate passes and sends to governor legislation preventing any locality in Tennessee from becoming a “sanctuary city” for illegal aliens Senate bill 1310 won passage this week preventing any city in Tennessee from becoming a “sanctuary city” for illegal aliens. A “sanctuary city” is a term given to a city in the United States that follows certain practices to protect illegal aliens. Thirtyeight cities in the U.S. have been recognized as sanctuary cities, but many sources have identified over 200 city or county governments nationwide as having practiced such policies. The measure prohibits local governments or the head of such localities from passing any ordinances or policies that allows for a sanctuary city to be located in Tennessee. The bill is designed to be a pre-emptive strike to guard against the

adoption of any policies to protect those who are in the United States illegally. It also urges the State Attorney General and local governments to pursue any federal funds allocated to combat illegal immigration. Bills in Brief Tennessee Transportation Infrastructure Fund – Legislation, SB 2120, that would provide a vehicle for local governments to finance and complete local transportation projects was approved by the full Senate this week. The bill would give local governments the option of applying for a low interest loan for eligible infrastructure projects with flexible repayment terms. The State Transportation Infrastructure Fund would also let Tennessee make application for a portion of $200 million in stimulus funds recently made available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Tennessee declares state’s sovereignty -- The full Senate voted to approve a resolution, HJR 108, claiming Tennessee’s “sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.” The proposal is designed to send Congress a message that the federal government has overstepped its Constitutional bounds by mandating a massive amount of federal policies upon the states in violation of the Amendment. The language of the Tenth Amendment is clear and concise that the federal government’s powers are limited to a specific set of activities. Twenty-eight states have approved similar resolutions.

A woman and her son who were involved in a twocar collision on May 31 in which the woman died and her son was injured were wearing their seat belts, a family member has said. An article concerning the accident which appeared in the June 3 edition of The Chronicle said Nancy C. Locke and her son Ronald S. Locke Jr., both of Mt. Juliet, were not wearing their seat belts. The information about the accident came from a report filed by the accident investigator. Mike Browning, director of communications for the Tennessee Department of Safety, checked the report again last week and said the investigator indicated on the document that neither Mrs. Locke nor Mr. Locke were wearing their seat belts. The investigator indicated that the driver of the other vehicle, Aaron R. Kik of Mt. Juliet, was wearing a seat belt. It has not been determined if the passenger in his vehicle, identified as Katie D. Hayes, was wearing a seat belt.

Jerry McFarland elected to fill D5 county seat By Connie Esh Freelance Writer Wilson County Commission elected Jerry McFarland to fill the vacant District 5 seat on the panel in four ballots Monday night at the regular meeting. Jo Smith, Derek Truelove, James Spears and Dave Kirkey were also nominated for the position. District 20 Commissioner Annette Stafford moved to defer the election saying it was disrespectful to the memory of District 5 Commissioner Carolyn Thompson whose death about two weeks ago left the vacancy, but the motion failed to pass. In other business, County Director of Schools Mike Davis reported to the

commission that the school system had graduated more than 1,200 students and that those students had received more than $17 million in scholarships. He also said that the school system has contracted to have the air quality tested at Lebanon High School and will have Environmental Solutions working to resolve any mold issues. The Wilson County Board of Education has also hired an engineer to develop an air- and water-tight seal for the manholes in the hallways of LHS. He told the commissioners that the more serious electrical, structural and fire marshal’s issues are not solvable without major renovation. “We need a new LHS,”

he said. “We’ve been batting this around for 19 years, since before our most recent graduates were born.” He also said he had never in 22 years as a school superintendent seen such a situation as this (sewer manholes in school hallways). The commission deferred a resolution that would abolish the position of constable effective with the next general election in September 2010. The resolution will be returned to the Law Enforcement Committee for a recommendation. The commission also passed a resolution requesting that fee offices submit a line item with their budgets accounting for the fees they bring in each year.

Change is the end result of all true learning.

County home sales on the upswing in May From staff reports Home sales in Wilson County continue on the upswing with more transactions made in May, and the $8,000 tax credit may be helping, local real estate agents said. “May numbers are continuing to show a rebound in our housing market in Wilson County,” said Realtor Amy Hamilton said. Hamilton represents the Eastern Middle Tennessee Association of Realtors. Wilson County real estate agents closed on 125 homes in May compared to 108 in April. The median home price rose from

$180,878 to $199,900, down only slightly from May 2008 when the median home price was $208,000 as well as in May of 2007 when it was $205,000. Pending sales increased to 139 for May, up from 124 in March. Inventory remained stable with 1,246 homes for sale in Wilson at the end of May compared to 1,219 homes on the market for sale at the end of April. The average number of days on the market rose slightly from 84 to 94 but has remained within a close range this entire year, she said. “With summer on us,

interest rates still very low, and the $8,000 tax credit availability still in force, we expect to continue to see the housing market improve in Wilson County,” Hamilton said. “Buyers seem to be feeling more confident that we have seen the worse of the slow economy.” Many potential buyers seem to think if they don’t act now, they will lose one of the best buying opportunities in history, Hamilton said. “The past couple of years have been trying for many, but we are seeing the rebound and we are working our way back up the mountain again.”

Mt. Juliet became one of the first Tennessee local governments to extract itself from a combination of variable rate debt and interest rate swap agreements sold to it by Morgan Keegan, officials said last week. On Wednesday, June 10, Mt. Juliet sold $7 million of General Obligation Refunding bonds to redeem all outstanding variable rate debt and to terminate an interest rate swap agreement. “We have traded an unpredictable variable interest rate and an unneeded and unwanted interest rate swap agreement for 17 years of fixed rate debt

while saving the taxpayers thousands of dollars in annual fees – all for just about the same interest rate” said Mt. Juliet City Finance Director John Rossmaier. Mt. Juliet was one of several cities featured in a recent New York Times article about the extensive use of interest rate swap agreements by Tennessee local governments. The article, which was published in early April, raised questions about the suitability of these financial instruments for use by small and sometimes unsophisticated government officials. Many Tennessee local governments have encountered great difficulty refinancing variable rate debt

that was tied to interest rate swap agreement because of high termination payments owed swap counterparties. In April, the estimated cost to Mt. Juliet to terminate the swap was between $500,000 to $600,000. A rise in Treasury bond yields meant that payment was reduced to about $187,000. “We found a window of opportunity and we took advantage of it saving our citizens hundredsof thousands of dollars” Rossmaier said. The refinancing bonds were sold at competitive public sale. Of the six bidders SunTrust Capital Markets provided the winning bid with a total interest rate of 3.76%.

PARIS, Tenn.- Four days of tournament bass fishing on Kentucky Lake, 20 bass weighing almost 95 pounds, two tournament victories, and $47,000 in winnings - not a bad week away from the office for Mt. Juliet tournament bass fisherman David Gnewikow. After a dramatic weigh-in at the Paris Landing Conference Center on May 28, David was the last man standing in the Triton Gold Elite Tournament on Kentucky Lake. The two-day tournament blast off Wednesday morning from Buchannan Resort. David dropped a 23.10 pound five-bass limit on the scales, but lost one pound due to a dead fish penalty, dropping him from second to fifth place. Day two saw the leader board shuffle. Rogne Brown took the lead weighing in over 23 pounds of Kentucky Lake bass. David’s limit weighed 24.12 and was just enough to edge out last year’s champion, Brown, by 0.3 pounds. He received a $40,000 check for his 46+ pound performance. For more information, check out David’s website, www.davidgfishing.com.

Wilson County Register of Deeds Bev Spickard reads from an old deed book in the vault in his office. ~ Photo by Connie Esh When a fire destroyed the city hall in Celina in Clay County recently, city leaders there had to report that 50 years worth of vital records stored in the attic of the building had most likely been destroyed. If a fire or even more serious destruction occurred in Wilson County, most if not all important records would be safe, officials said. Wilson County Register of Deeds Bev Spickard said deeds and other records which his office is responsible for are stored in duplicate in at least five places. “We could take a direct hit by a nuclear device

The records which go to the state, to the Register’s website and to the cave are all updated every 15 minutes, said Beth Howard, assistant to Spickard. Other county records such as court records,

Reflections from an Old Friend Our Senior Friends and Family With summer just around the corner and temperatures now in the nineties, now is the time to start checking in on your senior friends and family. Each and every year many of our wonderful senior friends become ill or lose their lives as a result of the hot and cold temperatures inside their very own homes. With that in mind, I would like to ask each and every person reading this article to please make it a point to start checking in on any senior family member or friends you know of throughout the year, not just during hot and cold temperature months. Senior citizens often live alone and have very few family members in the area. As a result, there is no one to make sure they are ok on a regular basis. Many seniors also live on fixed incomes and are much too proud to ask for help or assistance. Many of them because of their fixed incomes can’t afford basic essentials and often pass on food, heat and even electricity in order to purchase their much needed medications. Can you imagine having to decide which essentials to pass on? I’m not talking about cable television, the internet or a phone here; I’m talking about food, water, electricity, gas and medications. If you want something to make you feel good, start checking in on senior friend or family member and you’ll be empowered to do even more. As human beings this is our duty. Many senior citizens no longer drive and need help with grocery shopping, basic maintenance and etc. I purposely wanted this article to be short and to the point. Our seniors need us and we need them. What they have witnessed in their lifetimes we will never see in ours. They deserve the best of care and attention and we can be a part of that process. So in the future when you see a senior citizen having to stand while waiting, please offer them your seat if they don’t have one. If you see a senior citizen in need please ask them if they need help. If they decline, that’s fine, just remember that they may be too proud to ask for help. The worst thing to do is nothing. Please pray that our seniors stay happy and healthy. Who knows, maybe we will be blessed enough to be seniors one day ourselves and have plenty of family and friends to check in on us. And by the way, a phone call is always nice and should be done daily. God Bless our Senior Friends and Family.

1st row – Drake Trice, Trevor Bates, Ryan Davis, Dylan Boyd, Brady Cole 2nd row – Coach Brent Boyd, Coach Taylor Bates, Mikee Brown, Eric Owens, Kaleb Hammock, Trevor Bowles, Chris Hall, Chance Sullins, Conner Belvin, Brendan Wright, Coach Tony Trice, Coach Bobby Sullins

The Tennessee Longhorns captured the 16U Division title during the June 5th weekend in Murray, Kentucky. The Longhorns went 3-0 in pool play against a highly competitive field opening with a 3-2 late Friday night win against a talented Louisville, KY Select squad. Trevor Bowles threw a masterful game supported by key hits from Chris Hall, Trevor Bates, Eric Owens, and Ryan Davis. Saturday’s competition increased as the Longhorns rallied in their at bat to defeat the Indiana Yankees on a bases loaded game winning hit by Chance Sullins. Sullins led the offense attack against the Yankees supported by key hits from Kaleb Hammock, Dylan Boyd, Trevor Bates, and Conner Belvin. Setting the tone on defense was Drake Trice’s layout dive catch from 3rd base. The come from behind victory proved even sweeter as it was later determined that the Yankees played two college players, as well as, a mix of 18 and 17 year old players. Conner Belvin earned the victory in relief of Brady Cole as the Longhorns prevailed 5-4. Saturday’s late night game again ended in a hard fought victory over the Indiana Huskies 5-4 in a 5 inning affair. Chance Sullins pitched three strong innings followed in relief by Chris Hall. Timely hitting again led by Mikee Brown, Drake Trice, Conner Belvin, Trevor Bates, and Chris Hall secured the win. The Longhorns entered Sunday as the number 1 seed in their pool and drew the talented Evansville Hitmen for their opening semi-

final game. Kaleb Hammock battled the heat with a gutsy performance before giving way in the 7th to Chance Sullins who earned the save. Brendan Wright supported both pitchers from behind the plate, as well as, a key hit in the 4th inning. Offensively supporting as well was Chris Hall, Mikee Brown, Dylan Boyd, Eric Owens, Conner Belvin, and Trevor Bates. As expected, the Championship Game was a rematch of Friday night’s opener as the Longhorn’s and Louisville, KY Select faced off once again. Trevor Bowles once again frustrated the Select hitters until finally giving way to Dylan Boyd in the 7th to close out the game. The Longhorn bats exploded for 11 hits in a 9-3 victory as the offense won every inning except one as challenged by Coach Bobby Sullins. Supporting the nine-hit attack was Chris Hall, Mikee Brown, Dylan Boyd, Conner Belvin, Eric Owens, and Trevor Bates. Coach Taylor Bates offensive aggressiveness at 3rd base was supported by the same strategy from Coach Tony Trice’s and Coach Sullins at 1st base. Pitching Coach Brent Boyd did a great job working his pitchers into the right assignments at the right time as this team had a “refuse to lose attitude” going undefeated through 5 games. The team is comprised of players from Mt Juliet High School, Wilson Central High School, Friendship Christian, Gallatin High School, and White House High School.
