Sony/ATV Music Nashville president Tomlinson to address CU Class of 2009 Troy Tomlinson, President and CEO of Sony/ ATV Music Publishing Nashville, will deliver brief remarks during Cumberland University’s 167th Commencement exercises on Saturday, May 2. A native of Portland, Tenn., Tomlinson took the reins of Sony/ATV Music Publishing Nashville in January of 2006. In his role as president and chief executive officer, he supervises all creative elements for Sony/ ATV Music Publishing Nashville, including the signing of new writers. Tomlinson’s road to Music City began in the early 1980s, when he began honing his skills at Multimedia Entertainment, Don King Music and Rick Hall Music. In 1988, he joined Acuff-Rose Music Publishing as creative manager. During his time at Acuff-Rose, Tomlinson’s career began to blossom. He worked diligently to have songs recorded, from the legendary Acuff-Rose catalog and from company staff writers like Skip Ewing and Dean Dillon. Before his 14year career with Acuff-Rose came to an end, Tomlinson would sign songwriter and now mega-star Kenny Chesney and was promoted to vice president – all before

the age of 30. From 2002 until 2005, Tomlinson served as vice president of creative for Sony/ATV Music Publishing Nashville. In 2002, he aided with the implementation of the Sony/ATV Publishing

Troy Tomlinson acquisition of Acuff-Rose Music Publishing. As vice president, he was responsible for both Acuff-Rose and Sony/ATV writers, including Chesney, Rodney Crowell and Gretchen Wilson. Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift are among the newest talents signed to Sony/ATV. “Our students will

no doubt be inspired by Mr. Tomlinson, because so many of them can relate to his story,” Cumberland University President Dr. Harvill C. Eaton said. “His passion for music, his work ethic and his business knowledge were the tools that took him from a small town 50 miles north of Nashville to Music Row.” To be held on Cumberland’s Memorial Lawn at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 2, the University’s 167th Commencement ceremony will have a decidedly Nashville tone. Earlier this year, Cumberland administrators announced plans to present iconic Nashville songwriter Claude “Curly” Putman with an honorary degree during commencement exercises. A Princeton, Ala. native known worldwide for writing such standards as “Green, Green Grass of Home” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today,” Putman has been a member of the Cumberland community for a number of years through his support for the Sean Putman Memorial Scholarship at CU, an endowed scholarship established in memory of his late grandson.

MJ Realtors say sign ordinance being enforced unfairly, claim discrimination Attorney in law firm representing TAR crafted MJ sign ordinance By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor Although changes to the Mt. Juliet sign ordinance were officially adopted in September 2008, City codes officials have recently begun confiscating signs in violation of the ordinance in earnest and citing and fining those who are responsible for the signs – but some people are concerned that enforcement is discriminatory and unfair, and a Federal attorney has been contact to consult on the situation. According to information reported in a local newspaper, Mt. Juliet codes inspectors recently confiscated a large amount of improperly posted signs, including yard sale and signs for area Realtors marketing homes and property for sale. Inspectors said they would not cite the yard sale sign owners at this time but would contact the violators and inform them of the new mandates of the sign ordinance – namely that signs must be posted more than 10 feet from a public right of way. But some area Realtors whose signs are confiscated are being fined $187.50 per sign, must appear in court, and the owner of the sign must pay $20 for the first five signs confiscated and $10 each after that. “They took 86 signs

up (recently), and not all of them were Realtor signs, but not all of them were cited and fined, either,” said local Realtor Monica Doll, who was cited and fined for a sign the weekend of April 18, when the rash of signs were confiscated. Doll said she filed an open records request at M t . Juliet City Hall on Tuesday, requesting documentation of citations for sign ordinance violations for the past 24 months. Doll said Tuesday that Mt. Juliet City Codes Enforcer Julie Johnston was quoted as saying that people who put out yard sale signs in violation of the sign ordinance were not fined. “How can they cite and fine Realtors for their signs when they don’t do it to people who put out yard sale signs right beside them?” Doll asked. “If she (Johnston) said 86 signs were confiscated, I want to see that 86 people were fined for them, equally. She said she would visit the yard sale people but all others would be cited. That’s against the law. That’s discrimination.” Neither Johnston nor Mt. Juliet Codes Chief Building Officer Gary Branham returned repeated requests for comment by press time Tuesday. An open records request submitted for the number of signs and citations by this newspaper

Sorey, who is a member of the Eastern Middle Tennessee Association of Realtors (EMTAR) and was the chair of that group’s Governmental Affairs Committee when the sign ordinance was originally being discussed and rewritten, said he has had many Mt. Juliet Realtors contact him frustrated and concerned about being fined when other people are not. “What concerns me is that the City is not See REALTORS, Page 4

being fair and consistent in enforcing the ordinance,” Sorey said Tuesday, adding that he had personally been contacted by four Realtors in the past week who were fined for improper signage. “Realtors are trying to properly market property on behalf of the citizens and land owners of Mt. Juliet to an unfair advantage.” Sorey and Doll both said that one main reason why realtor signs are improperly placed is because homeowners move them for various reasons. Some homeowners want the sign to be more visible and move it closer to the street, therefore violating the sign ordinance that mandates signs be more than 10 feet from a public right of way. Homeowners, or their landscapers, may move signs to mow and then replace the sign too close to the street. Other homeowners located in subdivisions off a main thoroughfare feel at a disadvantage that the signs marketing their property cannot be seen on “the main drag.” But it’s not the homeowner who is being fined $187.50 a pop for the sign – it’s the Realtor. Sorey said that in early September 2008, before the final sign ordinance was approved, Mt. Juliet Mayor Linda Elam contacted him and requested a meeting with Sorey, EMTAR Association Executive Karen Lowe, and then-EMTAR President

Bobby Wood to discuss the sign ordinance changes. Elam told Sorey it had been rewritten and “she needed to talk to them about her vote.” At an earlier work session the mayor and city commission had accepted a proposal by the Realtors which would allow them to “properly advertise a home or property and would still make the commissioners happy with less clutter,” Sorey said. But Elam told the three Realtors that the ordinance had been rewritten, and she needed their permission to change her vote. Sorey said he told Elam that it was the entire Association which had to give permission, not individual members, and they expected her to honor her vote. After that meeting with Elam, Sorey said he was contacted by the Tennessee Association of Realtors (TAR) and “told not to attend the city commission meeting (at which the final vote to approve the sign ordinance would be made) and that TAR was sending legal counsel on behalf of the local Realtors.” “We never saw any representation,” Sorey said, adding that he watched the meeting on Channel 3 and heard Elam state that apparently the sign ordinance wasn’t of too much importance to the local Realtors, since no one was present to represent See REALTORS, Page 7

A MJ property tax? Not probable, but possible: tax levy included in City loan By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor The prospect of an actual property tax being levied in Mt. Juliet was a point of concern for city commissioners Monday night as they discussed, and finally approved, a bond issue to pay off two variable rate bonds currently looming over the City’s head. Sam Crewse, a newly-hired Mt. Juliet financial advisor, told city commissioners Monday that the primary security for institutions selling bonds is the City’s pledge of property taxes. Standard language included in the bond basically states that as long as other revenue streams are available Mt. Juliet will not have to levy a property tax, but if the City cannot pay the debt it can and will implement it. “This is telling the bond buyers that they don’t have to evaluate other revenue streams because if they don’t work you do have tax authority for a property tax,” Crewse said, adding that the bond buyer would have the right to take the City to court to mandate a property tax in Mt. Juliet should the City not be able to pay the bill. “This is why people accept really low rates for these types of bonds.” Commissioners approved a resolution not to exceed an $8 million bond issue by a 4 – 1 vote,

with Commissioner 4 Jim Bradshaw voting against. T a p p i n g another financial vein, commissioners narrowly approved on second reading an ordinance to amend the 2008/2009 budget to purchase laptops for commissioners, should they choose to accept one, and to implement a paperless agenda for meetings. District 3 Commissioner Ed Hagerty and Bradshaw voted against it, with Bradshaw adding that he would bring the CD the agenda is burned on up to City Hall to print out himself, so he doesn’t use any City employee time. Commissioners did not pass a resolution sponsored by Mt. Juliet Mayor Linda Elam to erect lane delineators to the West on Belinda Parkway to prevent illegal and unsafe left turns. Mt. Juliet Police Chief Andy Garrett said he had the area under surveillance for 10 days and there were no citations written or accidents, and he did not recommend the lane delineators. He suggested instead better signage in the area. A resolution to authorize acceptance of $450,000 from the Federal Stimulus Package for the Division Street Bike and Pedestrian Greenway was unanimously approved. The money will fund the first phase of the greenway from the Music City Star

commuter rail train station to 4th Avenue and will be an eight-foot paved sidewalk. An ordinance to remove the Bobby Hamilton property from the Town Center Overlay District was unanimously approved on second reading. A major amendment to the Paddocks PUD concerning signage was approved on first reading. The amendment concerns the size and number of signs for Lowe’s and Wal-Mart, which under the restrictions of the new sign ordinance would be too small in proportion to the sizes of the building. An ordinance to approve the official Zoning Map for the City of Mt. Juliet was approved on first reading by a 4 – 1 vote, with Bradshaw voting against it. An amendment to the 2008/2009 budget for the police department to transfer funds from Gas Expense to

the Capital Projects Fund to supplement the cost of the dispatch office and possible purchase of police vehicles was unanimously approved on first reading.

them. He immediately began getting calls from his fellow Realtors, demanding to know why he wasn’t at the meeting. A member of EMTAR told this newspaper that he contacted the TAR legal team for help with the sign ordinance before it was adopted by the Mt. Juliet city commission and made into law in September 2008. He said he was told at that time that TAR “couldn’t help.” Last week, another member of EMTAR who is concerned about the problems Realtors are having with enforcement of the sign ordinance decided to seek legal counsel from TAR as well. She said she was referred to Russ Farrar, founding partner of with the law firm Farrar and Bates, which provides general legal counsel for TAR. Farrar also, according to the firm’s website, also acts as a lobbyist for the 21,000 members of TAR. The EMTAR member said she left a message for Farrar and received a call from Mary Ferrara, an attorney on Friday, April 24. Ferrara told the Realtor she would “look into” the problems Mt. Juliet Realtors are experiencing with the sign ordinance. As of Tuesday at 5 p.m., Ferrara had not responded. Ferrara said Tuesday she had no comment. Ferrara drafted the new Mt. Juliet sign ordinance. At the September 22 city commission meeting during which the commission approved the final version of the sign ordinance, Ray Justice, who was the District 1 commissioner at the time, worried openly about the “detrimental impact” of the restrictions in the sign ordinance. Ferrara at the time called the restriction “a fairness and constitutional issue” as to who can “speak” in the right of way. She noted that the purpose of the restriction was to “de-clutter and preserve safety in traffic.” She said that the rule went for all signs and was not a pick and choose issue. Mt. Juliet Realtors are now questioning

their legal representation concerning the new sign ordinance, because when contacting TAR and seeking advice and counsel about the sign ordinance it was Ferrara who returned the phone call. And Ferrara wrote the sign ordinance. A representative of TAR said the entity had no knowledge of the situation in Mt. Juliet and had no comment. Sorey said he met with Mt. Juliet City Manager Randy Robertson and City Economic Development Director Kenny Martin on March 11 “to voice complaints about how the sign ordinance is being

enforced.” He said that codes enforcers had begun to confiscate signs and fine the owners on January 15, but between that date and March 11 signs were being picked and chosen. “Some signs were being allowed to stay that did not meet the new ordinance,” Sorey said. “It was at that time (March 11) that he told us about the police officer who had the accident at night with someone posting an illegal sign, how the codes department is understaffed, and how on one weekend the codes people worked See REALTORS, Page 8

but they couldn’t get to all the signs.” Sorey said he suggested that the codes enforcement be “outsourced” so that the process is “fair and consistent,” and that Robertson’s response was an apology, that the ordinance was voted on and made into a law that the City must enforce. Sorey said he “took exception because it’s not being enforced consistently.” Sorey said Tuesday that he spoke with a local attorney on Tuesday who told him the issue at hand is considered “contentbased sign regulation.” “If it’s an for sale by owner sign compared to a Realtor sign and (codes enforcers) pick up a Realtor sign and not the for sale by owner sign, that’s discrimination,” Sorey said. “And now according to what Johnston said, they are allowing citizens to put yard sale signs out but not Realtors.” Sorey also contacted a Federal attorney, he said, because contentbased sign regulation is against Federal law. Sorey said he wants the matter “to be researched and, if need be, a suit filed with an injunction because if this type of enforcement is continued Mt. Juliet residents selling houses could be harmed.” Current EMTAR President Lyndon LaFevers said Tuesday that he is “getting a lot of mixed stories, complaints that Realtors are being targeted and singled out.” “They feel like they are being discriminated against as Realtors and the sign ordinance doesn’t apply to anyone else,” LaFevers said. He added that he is looking into the matter and has scheduled a meeting on Thursday to “collect stories” from are Realtors about their experiences with the sign ordinance. “I think it needs to be reopened for discussion. It’s causing our sellers to get upset. And we don’t need this to be our focus right now.”

Tennessee Marine Family to host memorial ride for fallen heroes scholarship The Tennessee Marine Family, in association with New Heart Christian Church and two local biker groups, will hold an exciting event to honor those who have died in service to their country. The Fallen Heroes Memorial Ride takes place on Saturday, May 30, at 10 a.m. (with a rain date of June 13), and begins and returns at New Heart Christian Church. Proceeds of the benefit support the many projects sponsored by Tennessee Marine Family throughout the year, including the Fallen Heroes Scholarship Fund, as well as TMF’s annual Care Package Drives for the troops. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. at New Heart, located at 49 Business Park Drive on Hwy 109, approximately a half mile south of Lebanon Road. There is a registration fee of $20 per bike, plus $5 if there is a rider. First Bike will go out at 10 a.m. Lunch provided upon the bikers’ return. Biker groups participating include Bikers for Christ and the Christian Motorcycle Association. Interested riders should contact the Ride Logistics Chairperson and Gold Star parent John Bass at john@ tnfallenheroes.org. “It is encouraging to see the initial interest in this ride even while we have been in the planning stages, which will hopefully translate into a great day with lots of riders showing their colors,” Bass said. His son, SPL David Bass, died in Iraq in 2006. “Nothing helps me more than knowing that people remember him and all those like him,” Bass said. All attending the Fallen Heroes event should plan to stay for lunch, a silent auction, and door prize/ raffle drawings donated by several supporting sponsors such as: The Tennessee State Museum, Sam Davis Memorial Association, The Memphis Zoo, The Hermitage, The Nashville Symphony, Brooks and Dunn – Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn – and many more.

More than just a trip to the dentist: at Providence Dental Care, it’s an experience By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor Imagine walking into an office and being immediately soothed by a trickling waterfall, calming colors, natural wood and artwork. To your left is an inviting nook, with soft chairs and a fireplace, stocked bookcases and a place for the family member or friend who has been gracious enough to bring you here may rest and wait – or maybe that person would rather use that waiting time across the entranceway in the business area where WiFi and news on an HDTV is available, as well as access to coffee, tea, hot chocolate and juice. Children are occupied and entertained in their own waiting area that includes HD Blue Ray movies, toys and animal friends to play with, and bean bags to lounge on while playing an X-Box 360, PS3 or Wii. But because there is currently a short waiting time, you are ushered into

a treatment room with state-of-the-art technology, an HDTV with music or movies available, warm, soft blankets and scented neck wraps. If you’re especially anxious or need additional privacy you may want to spend some time in one of the

Providence Dental Care, a “dental spa” experience which opened its doors on N. Mt. Juliet Road in early April. Today a beautiful smile is more important than ever, and dental health is tied to many serious health care issues from heart and

but some people cringe at the mere thought of being tilted back in a dentist’s chair. Now, at Providence Dental, the experience is not only pleasant, it’s downright soothing. “What we tried to do was build a place everyone

Providence Dental Care, located at 684 N. Mt. Juliet Rd., celebrated the ribbon cutting of their new dental spa with members of the Mt. Juliet/West Wilson Chamber of Commerce on April 2. They will host an open house on Thursday, May 7, from 12 - 7 p.m. “quiet rooms,” with soothing sounds of flowing water from the water fountain. Does this sound like your typical dentist’s office? Welcome to

can feel comfortable in and enjoy sitting, where their friends and family who come with them can be comfortable and enjoy their time here as well,” explained

Providence Dental Facilitator Leigh Ellen LaFever. “From the moment a patient steps in the door, we want it to be as soothing an experience as possible. And that even goes for the outside landscaping – once they bloom, the plants and flowers outside the treatment rooms will be beautiful to look at if a patient isn’t interested in television or a movie.” Leigh Ellen is the wife of Dr. Larry LaFever, DDS, and said she spent two years of her life planning and perfecting the new office for the most harmonious blend of aesthetics, which include sculpture work by Connie Pirtle and art by local student Mark Walter. She said the color palate of the office is modeled after the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville, but she kept nearly all of the contract work, from floors and cabinetry to painting, centralized to include Wilson County vendors.

The Chronicle of Mt. Juliet, April 29, 2009, Page 13 DENTAL, from Page 10 “All of our design team was from Wilson County,” Mrs. Lafever said. “Keeping it as local as possible was extremely important to our office team.” That team consists of 12 people total, including the other partnering dentist, Dr. Joshua Gunnels, DDS, and his wife Jenna, who is also a dental hygienist within the office. Jenna and Dr. Gunnels are both from Mt. Juliet and are pleased with the dynamic of the new office and its team. “Our staff will bend over backward, that’s what’s most impressed me,” said Gunnels, who graduated top of her dental hygienist class at Western Kentucky. “The staff has a lot of experience in various fields,” added LaFever. “The women up front in the reception area are also dental assistants and have a good understanding of what the back office does, so they can answer questions patients have either in person or on the phone, which gives us in the back an extra advantage as to what the situation will be and how we can best help the patient.” Dr. LaFever and Dr. Gunnels both attended the University of Tennessee at Memphis, and LaFever had a practice in Hermitage for 24 years before building the new office in Mt. Juliet, where he and his family have lived since 1998. Dr. Gunnels was a civil engineer

prior to entering dental school, and his wife Jenna has been a dental hygienist for eight years. “The doctors work very well together and are very compatible, with is very important in this setting,” LaFever said. “We want to provide a calm environment in what, for some people, can be an unsettling experience.” Dr. LeFever added that Providence Dental will never “diagnose for dollars” and will only recommend work which the dentists feel are in the patient’s best interest. “We are not here to sell you something,” Dr. LaFever said. “However, sometimes we have to tell you things that you may not want to hear. We are obligated to tell you truthfully, good or bad, about your oral and dental health, and to advise you as to your treatment options.” Mrs. LaFever remarked that one aspect that separates Providence Dental from other “dental spas” in the area are the fees, which “are comparable to everyone else.” Providence Dental offers a variety of dental applications for the entire family, including sedation dentistry and, soon to be added, implants, in an environment more soothing than traditional dentist offices. Financing is available, and Providence Dental accepts many insurance plans. Providence Dental Care is currently accepting

Reflections from an Old Friend Life Changing Moments I had the awesome blessing and life changing moment recently after visiting the site and memorial of the 1995 Oklahoma City Bombing. As I walked the memorial site, I found myself overcome with thousands of emotions. The anniversary date of the bombing was April, 19th 1995. I visited on the 20th, one day after the memorial ceremony. On each chair that represents one of the victims, there were pictures of the victims, stuffed animals and flowers. As I looked at each picture of each victim I couldn’t help but thank them for their sacrifice. I found myself saying aloud that they deserved better. Here were these beautiful human beings just trying to make a living or doing the right thing, only to be senselessly killed. Some worked in the building while others where there to take care of business. Many small children were there in the daycare. The daycare usually had about 30 children, but on the day of the bombing, only 21 were in attendance. I found myself thinking about how and where they all would be today had the bombing not occurred. The small children would be graduating high school, or close to graduating high school now. Many of the moms and dads that were killed would be grandparents. As I read the many stories the day of the bombing, I discovered how many escaped the bombing tragedy because they were sick that day, had doctor’s appointments, had been transferred, or were simply running late. I also read were a husband and wife were both killed while visiting the Social Security Office. I remember watching the news the day of the bombing that took 168 peoples lives fourteen years ago, and I can’t believe it’s been that long. Visiting the memorial brought a whole new level of respect from me about the tragedy, and also taught me yet another lesson about life and what I can do to make it better. It made me realize even more how fragile, short and precious life is. No matter what trials and tribulations we may go through on any given day in our lives, human life will always be paramount. So from this day forward please be extremely good to one another, for we never know when it may be our last day. So put your e-mailing, letter writing, phone calling, and even better, personal visits to good use every chance you get. Being moved by tragedy, the loss of life and losing those that we love should be life altering moments that help us put into perspective what life is really all about. These life altering moments should make us better human beings. With that in mind, please pray for the victims and family members of the Oklahoma City Bombing and all human beings who have and will suffer the loss of family and friends, either by tragedy or natural causes. Life constantly throws us life lessons to place in our tool boxes of life. These are tools that should make us better human beings. Mine just got a little fuller, and I will forever be touched by all of my life experiences. In closing, please never ever forget the wonderful family and friends that we have all lost. We are all family!
