Several Mt. Juliet homeowners are upset about an homeowners association set up in their subdivision against their will, and the matter is scheduled to go to court – again – soon in Wilson County. According to Saddlewood subdivision resident Lisa Rich, a company called Paragon Management Group (PMG) was called in several years ago to set up an HOA although many of the Saddlewood residents don’t want it.

For more information on the TWA visit their website at www.tn-writer.org ~ Photo by Tomi L. Wiley / The Chronicle in Lebanon, where owners Steve and Patty Guynn provided a reception for TWA participants. It was a perfect evening for music and camaraderie, and both were in abundance, as Jim Phiffer and Friends played in the courtyard while TWA members chatted with featured authors William Gay and J. Wes Yoder. Yoder and Gay did two readings from their works in the Sherlock’s theater and answered questions afterwards. Several members also took advantage of open mic readings as well. Saturday was packed with events, as J. T. Ellison and Eric Wilson spoke at both morning and afternoon

sessions, while Whitney Ferre’ hosted a morning session on creativity and Wyatt Prunty an afternoon on poetry. Eric Wilson presented the keynote address during the luncheon in historic Baird Chapel, where the group dined on Southern fried chicken, almondine green beans, herbed red potatoes, and apple pie. Songwriter Ron Block wrapped up the conference in the Heydel Fine Arts Center, along with his friend, singer/songwriter Randall Goodgame, on piano.

song, “A Living Prayer,” among other selections. Personal connections and networking is a primary draw for the writers conference, and there were many at this year’s event. For example, Etta Wilson was formerly the librarian at Castle Heights Military Academy and at Mt. Juliet High School, and she reconnected with friends Dorothy Jenkins and Dr. Bobbie Speck. Likewise, Kathryn Knight had been a college student of Wyatt Prunty’s at Virginia Tech and was thrilled to see him again. Gaye Hawks visited with friends Ron and Sandra Block throughout the day. Professor Randy Mackin from Middle Tennessee State University was instrumental in bringing both Wyatt Prunty and William Gay to the conference and was glad to spend time with them. S e v e r a l teachers attended the event from Manchester, as well as Montgomery, Smith, and Wilson counties and commented that the workshops were ideal for professional development. Participants were overheard to say that the Cumberland campus was a perfect place for the conference, and there were already those anticipating next year’s event.

Mt. Juliet city commissioners approved the city’s fiscal year 2009/2010 budget Monday night and ended the discussion on a high note: with $75,000.00 added to the fund balance, the projected balance at year’s end will be a projected $1.375 million. “I’m going to give you every confidence in the world that we’re going to exceed one million,” Mt. Juliet City Manager Randy Robertson said. He added that the budget does not reflect estimated sales tax revenues from Wal-Mart, Aldis or any other “big box” retailers, only what the commission included for the opening of Lowe’s, projected to open next month. The budget was amended several times and discussed at length. Mayor Linda Elam made the motion to amend the conservative number to increase the estimated fund balance by $75,000.00 up to $1,972,308.07, seconded by District 4 Commissioner Jim Bradshaw, and the commission voted unanimously on the amendment. An amendment suggested by District 3 Commissioner Ed Hagerty to remove the ½ cost of living pay increase plus ½ merit increase based on performance would proposed 1% performance-based raise for employees performing well was seconded by Elam. The mayor questioned the procedure used to ensure all employees are treated equally. “I want to eliminate the teacher’s pet,” she said. Robertson said employment performance is evaluation-based, and he would review the evaluations. Robertson added that he “appreciates this type of conversation” and Hagerty’s amendment. Hagerty said he hoped every employee would get the 1% on the performance-based increase. The amendment, however, was voted down 2 – 3, with Bradshaw, District 1 Commissioner Ted Floyd and District 2 Commissioner Will Sellers voting against. An amendment to have the Citizen Report, the

City’s quarterly newsletter, available only online at a savings of $12,000.00 was also voted down 2 – 3, with Bradshaw and Hagerty voting for the online-only version. Elam suggested also to reduce the quality of the newsletter to newsprint quality and have fewer pages, to be published four times a year, at a cost of approximately $10,000.00, but the motion did not receive a second and failed. H a g e r t ya l s o attempted to amend the Animal Control budget, remarking that some $400,000.00 is allocated for Animal Control “and we cut the organizations that help people.” He suggested eliminating $100,000.00 but received no second, and the motion failed. Hagerty then made a motion to “temporarily eliminate” the city codes department at an estimated cost of $80,000.00. That amendment received no second from the commission and failed. Elam made a motion to reduce the general fund expenses by an additional .003 percent of the total appropriations, which would be shy of $30,000.00, to bring the fund balance to $1 million. Sellers stated that the staff had already offered cuts. Floyd suggested removing $25,000.00 for the 2010 July 4 fireworks celebration. By a 3 – 2 vote, commissioners approved an amendment removing $25,000.00 from the fireworks budget, but if Lowe’s opens prior to October 2009 that amount will be added back. Bradshaw and Hagerty voted against the amendment. Bradshaw noted that he would not vote to approve the budget, although he commended City staff “for doing a great job” with the budget. He said the commission has cut over $73,000.00 from grants, which was why he would not vote to approve the budget. The budget was approved as amended on second reading by a 3 – 2 vote, with Bradshaw and Hagerty voting against. An increase in sewer rates was approved 3 – 2 on first reading, with Bradshaw and Hagerty voting against. The rate increase to $1.25 will mean some

hand turn to get back onto interstate. The light turned Red mid-way as we were turning. (Two lanes both turning mind you) I guess we were not fast enough, and I recieved $70 ticket. Ticket arrived in my mailbox a week later with pictures that indictated I pulled out on red. Not true at all. Upset...I Googled to see if I was the only one who had this issue. Nope. Turns out that small county, population 272,217 makes a whooping 1.6 MILLION on Two of these Red Light Cameras per year. I called to state my case, and the clerk said it had just happened to her husband also. I say FOUL! Mt. Juliet can find other ways of bringing in revenue. “Studies indicate that the red light camera programs operate primarily for revenue generation purposes, rather than for public safety. In fact, it does not appear that accident history plays a significant role in the selection of the intersections. The available data adds further support to the contention that in order to increase revenue, the red light camera program in San Diego trapped thousands of people driving by placing cameras only at intersections with unreasonably short yellow lights, actually causing citizens to run the red lights and subjecting them to criminal prosecution. II. ANALYSIS: Empirical studies indicate that longer yellow lights allow people more time to react to changing light cycles. Consequently, placing computerized, law enforcement devices at intersections with short yellow lights can obviously result in more red light citations than can computer–

enforcement devices placed at intersections with longer yellow lights. It is the effect of the short yellow light on apparent red light running that the red light camera program in San Diego has seized upon in order to maximize revenue. The reason why short yellow lights create a trap for people driving is that short yellow lights create an “impossible to stop” zone in which a certain percentage of people approaching an intersection become caught in the dilemma of not being able to stop safely before the light turns red, and not being able to cross into the intersection without technically running a red light. Federal traffic control standards require that a traffic control device give drivers adequate time for a proper response. Acceptable traffic engineering standards require that a yellow light be long enough to allow drivers sufficient time to stop their vehicle safely at the limit line before the traffic light changes from yellow to red. There are different methods of calculating appropriate yellow light time based on factors like road grade and approach speed. The recent traffic engineering practice has been to determine approach speed by using the posted speed limit rather than the 85th percentile speed (the speed at which 85 percent of people are thought to be driving). However, it is more appropriate to base these calculations on the speed at which people are actually driving toward the intersection. The faster the approach speed and the shorter the yellow light, the greater the likelihood that people driving will be caught in the “impossible to stop” zone and forced to run the red light.” Jennifer Howard Mt.

Local HOA set up despite homeowner protests By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor Several Mt. Juliet homeowners are upset about an homeowners association set up in their subdivision against their will, and the matter is scheduled to go to court – again – soon in Wilson County. According to Saddlewood subdivision resident Lisa Rich, a company called Paragon Management Group (PMG) was called in several years ago to set up an HOA although many of the Saddlewood residents don’t want it. At a June 18 HOA board meeting, Rich said that HOA Board President Eddie Kirkus denied a request by homeowners to dissolve the

HOA, claiming Saddlewood has had the association “since day one.” Rich and her neighbors disagree and say the HOA was formed just over two years ago. “All of us were brought in here thinking there’d never be an HOA,” Rich said. She added that dues for inclusion in the HOA are $15 per month, but the subdivision has no amenities. She said the HOA has “just over $6,000.00 in the bank and outstanding dues of over $30,000.00.” “They maintain that the reason they want an HOA is for streetlights,” Rich said. “Based on what they have paid PMG they could have placed about half of

be annexed into the city at Thursday evening’s planning commission meeting. The request came during discussion of how the development would proceed. Porter requested approval of the preliminary master plan for the development and of a preliminary plat for the first 13 large lots in the development. Those lots are part of the 241 acres in Mt. Juliet’s planning jurisdiction by the inter-local agreement reached earlier by the city, the county, and the City of Lebanon. The 13 large lots would be the site for 246 units of multi-family housing. This stage of the plan also includes a public park. With 29 acres along Sullivan Creek, the park would be almost the same size as Charlie Daniels Park. It also would connect with an additional 25 acres of greenway and open areas in the rest of the development. But when Planning Commission Vice Chair Luke Winchester questioned how the city could enforce the planning regulation if the property were not inside the city limits, Porter formally requested the commission to recommend annexation. The commissioners were very interested in the plans for the park. Commissioner Lori Landry said she did not want the

developer to replace play areas adjoining the apartments with a playground in the park itself, but she thought having a playground area in both places would be a good idea. Porter agreed and said the developer would be willing to do both. The plans for the park also include at least five playing fields which could be used for soccer or possibly community league football, Porter said. He also said the developer plans to build a building, about 20 by 30 feet, to be used for restrooms, concession stands and office or storage space, and the park area will have parking for 100 cars. The commission gave its recommendation to both the master plan and the preliminary plat. Both will now have to go to Mt. Juliet city commission for approval. The commission also discussed a plan to make the Town Center District Overlay regulations optional. The overlay, which has been in force in Mt Juliet for several years, places additional regulations on how property in the central part of the town can be developed. It is a set of stricter regulations in addition to the existing zoning for the area at the center of the city. Three landowners in

the district spoke in favor of lifting the regulations. Cathy Everett said she supported the change because it would allow better opportunities for development in the area involved. Pat Everett agreed, saying there had been a time when she thought it was a beautiful plan, but time had changed things. Charles McCorkle said his family has owned property in the town center for several generations, and he thinks “when the overlay was installed, the people who homesteaded the area paid the price.” However, some members of the commission said they weren’t sure the regulations should just be dismissed. Landry and Commissioner Ed Hagerty both said they would favor modifying the plan rather than removing the overlay. Commission Chair Jay Cameli, who is part of the study group which recommended removing the overlay, said that the zoning in that part of the city should, with the commission’s oversight, protect Mt Juliet from any inappropriate development. In the end, the commission asked City Attorney Jason Holleman to draft an ordinance removing or at least modifying the overlay to present to the commission at its next meeting. The commission also asked Holleman to include incentives to encourage businesses to use the Town Center Overlay as a guide to development. The commission also deferred site plans for Gardens at Providence and Silver Springs Baptist Church because the developers haven’t yet worked out all the important issues with the planning staff. Neither of the developers attended staff tech reviews that are held before their plans are presented to the commission meeting, and the commissioners said that may have been part of the problem. As a result, the commission voted to make attendance by developers’ representatives at tech reviews mandatory prior to coming before the commission.

Reflections from an Old Friend How to Save Money and Have More Fun I get daily questions from folks wanting ideas on how to save money in today’s economy. When I get asked that question the first thing I usually say is the very best way to save money is to spend less. At least that seems to be what works best for me. But I think of myself as conservative, while others think of me as cheap. And that’s ok, I’ve been cheap, I mean conservative all of my life, so I’m sort of used to it now. Other ways to save money are to use less electricity. For example, I usually set my thermostat to 75 or higher during the day and no lower than 74 at night. I agree; it isn’t as cold as I would really like for it to be, but it could always be a lot hotter. Think about it, if your air conditioner goes out all together 74 will seem like winter time. I also converted most of the bulbs in my house to energy efficient bulbs. It has been said that switching one regular bulb to an energy efficient bulb can save up to $30.00 per year. I also close the blinds to my house during the day during the summer months and open them during the winter months. This allows the sun to heat your house in the winter and the closed blinds keep it cooler during the summer. During cooler summer months I turn the air conditioner off entirely and open the windows. I will list other money savings ideas below. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Don’t leave water running when you shave or brush your teeth. Turn water heater temperature back. Take cooler showers to save on energy, it’s actually even better for your skin. Leave and use less lamps or lights during night hours while home. Remember to turn lights off when room is not in use. Unplug rarely used electronic devices. Clean air filters regularly. Seal all gaps around windows and doors. Drink water while dining out instead of sodas or tea. Turn off the television and play board games or read. Clip coupons. Haggle for better deals. It’s always no unless you ask. Shave head to make you more aerodynamic ( Just Kidding) Keep oil and air filters changed and tire pressure checked Take extra stuff from trunk of car. More weight burns more fuel Keep car clean and waxed. Keep windows up on the interstate and down within the city to avoid using A/C Spend your money in your own community to avoid longer drive times and taking your sales tax money to another community. Don’t waste any of your 86,400 seconds per day. Time is money

As you can tell I could go on and on about saving money. What you save today by being more efficient and wise you can use to dine out, go to the movies and have more fun with your family and friends. So please look at saving money on other stuff a great way to pay for a date night, a movie and new car or whatever you want. Wasting less is The Mt. Juliet Police Department will be conducting sobriety a great way to save and do more.
