MJCA students attend, comment on inauguration By Connie Esh Special to The Chronicle Three Mt. Juliet Christian Academy students were back in class this week after traveling to Washington, D.C. to see the inauguration of President Barack Obama as part of a

as to Boston, and several other events sponsored by the CYLC. But all three said this was by far the most exciting event. Pollack said one of his strongest impressions was the crowd. “It was crazy there

with the two boys, and she pointed out that there were more than 25,000 police officers and they still could really control the crowds, which numbered about 1.5 million. Each student spoke of a different image that made a strong impression.

were so many people you couldn’t see 5 feet in front of you,” he said. “We had to waddle like penguins to get across the Mall.” Gibson said it took the group he was with 20 minutes to navigate the Mall crossways. Scott noted her group started moving forward about 30 minutes before the actual swearing-in to try to get near enough to see. The students actually arrived at the Mall around 5:30 that morning and found spots to stand. “Then,” Gibson said, we took turns going into the Smithsonian to warm up and drink hot chocolate.” Scott said she recalled going into the Smithsonian, too, but the chocolate was what she noticed. “In the Smithsonian National History Museum, people were all huddled up along the walls sleeping and trying to keep warm,” she said. Pollock’s mother, Jennifer Knott, traveled to and from Washington

“When President Bush walked out, the people booed,” Scott said. “They shouldn’t have done that. He deserved to be treated with some respect on his last day in office.” Pollock said what he remembered scared him about America’s future. “I saw a penny, there was a picture of Obama on it and instead of ‘In God We Trust,’ it said ‘In Obama we trust,’” he said. “It scared me to death that people were putting Obama in front of God. The further we stray from God, the worse we do.” Gibson said he was most impressed by the emotions of the people. “The passion, the tears,” he said. “A lot of people don’t realize how big an event this was. It was history in the making, and even if we disagree we need to rally behind him. To see people bawling their eyes out means a lot. The inauguration was for America, not for Democrats or for Republicans, for America.”

MJ man vandalizes 13 yards in early The Frame Corner 2896 N. Mt. Juliet Road morning joyride, arrested by citizen February Special 758-8215 (Across from Grace United Methodist )

Sheriff’s deputy admits man had been drinking By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor Over a dozen local residents awoke last Thursday morning to muddy, ripped front lawns after a Wilson County man took a joyride and vandalized the

“There were two other trucks out there with him, just watching what he was doing. The police were just going to let him go, but I wanted a warrant for drunk driving. The deputy said he gave (Milan) a field sobriety test and said he didn’t t h i n k he was drunk. But that’s not

back and apologize, and tell all those people you’ll clean up their yards.” To Moody’s knowledge, as of Monday, Milan had not returned. He said Milan has a court date set for late March for the vandalism charges. “Most of these people were elderly and didn’t want to press charges or get into it,” Moody said, “but I’m going to get all the time out of it I can and all the money from it I can, for me and for all of them.” Attempts to contact Milan were unsuccessful as of press time Tuesday. “I hate to cause anybody any trouble,” Moody said, “but he caused 13 people trouble, and it’s not right.”

The 2008 Dodge truck belonging to Jerry Ray Milan, Jr., sat stuck in mud until Thursday afternoon after he laid a muddy trail from Beckwith Road to 11791 Central Pike. Photo by Tomi L. Wiley Beckwith Road and Central Pike area – and although a sheriff’s deputy said the man had been drinking the deputy did not arrest him. Jerry Ray Milan, Jr., 23, was arrested in the wee hours of Thursday morning, Jan. 29, while his 2008 Dodge pickup truck idled, stuck nearly to the top of its tires, in the muddy garden belonging to M.C. Rather at 11791 Central Pike. Milan, according to a Wilson County Sheriff’s Department report and local resident accounts, started his joyride on Beckwith Road, cutting through 13 lawns, corner lots and fields before getting stuck in Rather’s garden. Area resident Paul Moody, whose field and driveway were significantly damaged when Milan made dozens of “donuts” through the muddy grass, said Milan’s truck was still idling at 4:30 a.m. when he left home to file a report against Milan. Moody said the truck was still running when he returned, and finally “must have just run out of gas.” “I think he was drunk,” Moody said Monday.

true – he was drunk.” The WCSO report filed by Deputy Charlie Hobson does not indicate or mention any field sobriety tests administered or a blood alcohol level for Milan. “He’d been drinking but he wasn’t drunk,” Hobson said Tuesday. “I could smell alcohol on him but all his physical capabilities were normal.” Hobson added that he did not arrest Milan, but Moody did, as a citizen’s arrest. Moody said when he approached Milan and asked why he had ruined the property of so many people, many who are elderly, the man responded, “I’m just bored.” “He said he just got laid off,” Moody said. “I said there are people that are getting laid off all the time, but they’re not all out destroying other people’s property.” Moody said that he, the tow truck driver who arrived Thursday, the deputy and another witness told Milan that he should “go

vocals), Del Gray (drums/ backing vocals) and Dwayne O’Brien (rhythm guitar) jumped at the chance to perform the fundraising show which will aid Watertown Elementary, a small-town school that is sorely in need of athletic facilities for its K8 students. “This all-ages concert is being held to raise funds for athletic facilities …for games and practice for this Wilson County elementary, which hosts kindergarten through 8th grade,” explained Propes, who added that a former student at the school, Cody Choate, worked hard to draw attention to the school’s need for such facilities. “Cody Choate was a sixth-grader at Watertown Elementary who was killed in an ATV accident in summer 2007,” Propes shared. “(And) while he was alive, he championed the cause to have a football field at the school for the seventh- and eighth-grade teams. “We hope that folks will come out and not only support the current and future students at the school by attending the concert, but

and friends, during his tooshort lifetime Cody, whose football designation was No. 58, wanted nothing more than “to put on a purple and white uniform for Watertown Elementary’s Purple Tigers football team.” Instead, his life ended just two weeks before his 13th birthday and his very first football game. Since that time, it has been the desire of Cody’s parents and young sister, Chloe, as well as the wish of Watertown Elementary’s faculty, staff and students, to fund athletic facilities at the school in Cody’s honor. In addition to helping honor Cody, Propes said the LT lineup immediately accepted the request to help the school raise money because “little ol’ Watertown is always overlooked when it comes to county money, state money, benefits, and so forth, and also because it’s my home county and someone asked for our help.” As for where students at the school currently conduct their sports-related events, “Right now, they have nothing but basically an See LITTLE TEXAS, Page 5

TDOT approves light for MJ Rd, Charlie Daniels Pkwy By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor An economic stimulus package introduced by United States President Barack Obama could mean big change in Mt. Juliet – to the tune of a new traffic light at a desperately needed intersection. Mt. Juliet Mayor Linda Elam said late Monday that a temporary traffic light has been approved for the intersection of N. Mt. Juliet Road and Charlie Daniels Parkway. The traffic light is part of the widening of Mt. Juliet Road, an infrastructure project that should be given a green light should the President’s stimulus plan be approved. Elam said the light will be “one of the first couple of lettings” and could start in as early as 90 days. The issue at hand however, according to Mt. Juliet City Manager Randy Robertson, is when to erect the traffic light. He said Tuesday that the traffic light could go up as a temporary light until the road widening project begins, and then would have to be moved, at the cost of the City. Or, the light could wait until the State, who has jurisdiction over Mt. Juliet Road, begins

LITTLE TEXAS, from Page 4 open, ungroomed lot and it’s often more like a mudhole,” observed the philanthropic bass player. During the Friday show to aid the cause, Little Texas will perform the band’s biggest hits, including “God Blessed Texas,” “Some Guys Have All The Love,” “What Might Have Been,” “My Love,” “Kick a Little,” “Amy’s Back in Austin” and “Life Goes On,” as well as songs from the group’s latest CD, Missing Years, on the Montage Music Group label. “We don’t have a set time for how long we’ll play, but we will play as long as people want to hear us, and we will be signing autographs after the show,” said Propes. (Also, the band will have some of its merchandise

the widening project and would pay for the light. “The question is, how long is temporary,” Robertson said. “Temporary could be three months or it could be 13 months – that’s up to the State.” The temporary light could cost, Robertson said, upwards of $50,000 and would be erected on a wooden pole as early as early summer but would be taken down and replaced with the road widening project. “I think it’s wiser to put it up in the beginning of the widening project, in the proper place, so as not to move it again,” remarked Elam. “It’s the first step in the widening project.” Robertson said he has submitted the issue, and the price tag for a temporary light, to the city commission for consideration. He added that there is a bond in the city coffers from a land developer with funds that could be used to help fund the traffic light. “The question is does the commission want to spend several thousand dollars out of the general fund on a temporary light, or wait and see?” Robertson mused. “(The road project) could take three or four months or years to start. How long is temporary?” available for purchase, including its greatest-hits and Missing Years CDs and T-shirts.)

Taco Bell manager robs own restaurant By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor When it comes to stealing money, rule number one is: check for a video camera. Mt. Juliet Police said Tuesday that an alleged robbery was reported at 8:45 a.m. Sunday at Taco Bell at Providence MarketPlace. An

officer responded, MJPD Detective David Stolinsky said, but the suspect turned out to be an employee of the restaurant. “ T h r o u g h investigation we determined it was a false call,” Stolinsky said, “and the money was recovered.” Mt. Juliet City officials added that it was

the restaurant’s video camera capturing the relief and assistant manager in the act. Stolinsky said the employee has not been arrested yet but will be indicted by a grand jury in April and, through arrangements made with the employee, he will be arrested at that time.

Another strong season for MMJS wrestling Grand Champions: Front Row: Eric Whitmire, Dakota Estridge, Connor Charlton, Austin Cook, Austin Jeup; Back Row: Luke Steely, Matt Hotsinpiller, Nick Jackel, Coach Ben Bowen, Caleb Charlton, Chase Biggs, Jeremy Welck, Rayce Spencer, Marty Pyle Despite having a varsity that includes several young or new wrestlers, Coach Ben Bowen coached the Mt. Juliet Middle School wrestling team through a good season. The team finished the season in dual matches with a 9 – 5 record, with West Wilson accounting for 3 of the five losses on the season. MJMS got their revenge with a solid victory over West Wilson (64 - 14) when they faced them at the Grand Championships. Several of the team’s varsity wrestlers had really strong seasons, including Austin Cook 17-3, Chase Biggs 154, Caleb Charlton 14-5, and Cass Ott 9-1. MJMS varsity wrestlers performed well at the two tournaments they competed in. They finished in 5th place at the Sonic Invitational on December 6, 2008 at Freedom Middle School, with 6 wrestlers placing in their individual weight classes. Wrestlers also competed at the East Literature Magnet Middle School Invitational Tournament on January 10. The team finished 2nd out of 14 teams. 8 out of the 13 MJMS wrestlers who competed in the tournament

placed in their weight class. Austin Cook (92 lb), Chase Biggs (140 lb) and Cass Ott (217 lb) were the tournament champions for their weight classes. Finishing in 2nd place was Dakota Estridge (100 lb) and Caleb Charlton (124 lb). In 3rd place was Rayce Spencer (192 lb) and Marty Pyle (250 lb). Matt Hotsinpiller placed 4th in the 116 lb. weight class. MJMS Varsity wrestlers came in 3rd place out of the six teams at the Grand Championships on Saturday, January 24th. They lost to Nashville Catholic 54 – 24 and Dickson County 48 – 24. MJMS hit Haynes hard with a winning score of 67 – 3, and continued with a strong defeat of West Wilson 64 – 14 and Hunter 63 – 6. Coach Bowen is sending thirteen 8th graders to the region champion high school wrestling team for next season, making the already young team at the high school younger and stronger. The eight 6th graders and four 7th graders on the MJMS wrestling team gained valuable experience this year, and will be returning to reload the middle school team for another strong season next year.

MJ’s Clark scores career high as Blue Raiders remain perfect in SBC action

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Junior Alysha Clark put the Middle Tennessee women’s basketball team on her back Saturday afternoon and carried it to a 91-75 victory over ULM inside the Murphy Center in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Clark finished with a career-high 40 points, becoming only the fourth Lady Raider in program history to crack the 40-point barrier in a single game. She tallied her career best on 16-of-21 field goals and 8-of-10 free throws, while also swiping a career-high seven steals on the defensive end in her first game after being named a Midseason Top 20 Candidate for the Wooden Award, college basketball’s most prestigious individual honor. The 40 points place her sixth in school history for a single game and are one shy of the Murphy Center record for a Lady Raider. Clark is a graduate of Mt. Juliet High School. Submitted

Tennessee Curbside Recycling recently had a poetry contest for Ms. Gatlin’s 3rd grade class at Stoner Creek Elementary. The winner of the contest was Laney Raymond and her winning poem is below.

Don’t Be Trashy Roses are red, the sky is blue, grass is green and trees are too. If you litter, the earth says “boo hoo.” So pick up your trash, clean up from your bash, the earth will say thankyou and you’ll be a smash. Separate your batteries, bottles and paper. Batman will be proud. Hey! Thats a great caper! Keep Tennessee beautiful, keep Tennessee green; our waters blue and sparkling, our road sides nice and clean

BOE discusses teacher salaries in light of economy, plans to honor principals From staff reports Time is approaching for members of the Wilson County Education Association and the Wilson County Board of Education to begin negotiating salaries and insurance, board members were told Monday night. Melissa Robinson, WCEA president, who addressed the board at Monday night’s regular meeting, noted that she is sure the teachers will be able to reach some agreement with the school system. She also said teachers are well aware of the current

financial situation in the state and the country. In other business, the school board also voted to send the architect’s bill for $1,312.028 from Kaatz, Binkley, Jones and Morris (KBJM) on to the Wilson County Commission for payment. KJBM provided the architectural plans for the proposed new Lebanon High School so it could be hard bid as requested by the county commission. The board also approved a report from Family Resources Coordinator Julie Harrison. She told the board that requests for assistance

were up from last year, but added that so far she has been able to meet most of those requests. She said currently the Resource Center is sending 107 backpacks of food home with Watertown Elementary students under the Backpack for Kids program, which has expanded due to help from three local churches. When Zone 3 Board Member Don Weathers asked what the program might need, she agreed to email a list of those needs to each board member. In other action, the board approved a resolution

honoring Wilson County principals and assistant principals. Each month the board honors a different group of school system employees.

The board deferred action to approve the 20092010 school calendar until the next meeting.

Cumberland collecting data for new Alumni Directory Alumni of Cumberland University in Lebanon can expect to be contacted soon as part of the University’s efforts to publish a new alumni directory, according to CU Alumni Relations Officer Justin B. Bradford. “Our graduates can expect to be contacted over the next few weeks as we begin working on the new directory,” Bradford

explained. “We’re working in conjunction with Publishing Concepts Incorporated on the new publication, and we wanted to make our alumni aware that this project is in the works. The communications they will receive are official.” Based in Dallas, TX, Publishing Concepts Incorporated is an 85-yearold, family-owned company that specializes in the

creation and management of alumni directories for colleges and universities across the United States. “Alumni will be contacted first by regular mail and e-mail,” Bradford said. “We’re hopeful all alumni will take part in this important project. It will be the first official Cumberland alumni directory published since 2002.”

TTU reminds Wilson County students to file FAFSA soon Wilson County students enrolled or planning to enter Tennessee Tech University in the fall are reminded to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid soon. TTU financial aid administrators stress that the earlier the FAFSA is filed, the more likely the student is to receive available federal funding, including Pell grants, work study, and student loans. “Each year federal supplemental grants and work study funds are limited, and basically are awarded on a first-come, first-served

basis,” said Lester McKenzie, TTU’s financial aid director. “We want students to be aware that sending in the FAFSA as early as possible increases their chances of being awarded available funds.” Filing the FAFSA is also a requirement for receiving Hope Scholarships funded by the state lottery, however, the lottery scholarships are not awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. Students who applied for scholarships at TTU will receive notification of those awards soon after March 1,

the university’s deadline for scholarship selections TTU officials suggest students complete the FAFSA online at www.fafsa. ed.gov/. For more information, contact TTU’s Office of Financial Aid at 931-3723073.

Reflections from an Old Friend 86,400 Seconds As you awake each and every day do you have a routine or plan for your day? Most of us sort of go through the motions each and every day Monday through Friday. Let me explain, most people work a Monday through Friday job. Your routine more than likely sounds something like this. You awake in the morning and either exercise, shower, set out the clothes you will wear for the day, eat breakfast at home, in the car or at work. After your first four hours of work you take a lunch break for either thirty minutes or an hour. Sometimes you take more, but we won’t tell. You then work another four hours or more before leaving work. You either stop to pick up the kids, or they are now driving, you then either pickup dinner/supper or you go home and cook. After dinner or supper you help with homework, do homework or do chores, before finally getting in some TV or relaxation time. At the end of the night you get ready for bed, go to bed and finally awake from bed in order to do it all over again. When Friday and the weekend arrives you feel somewhat rejuvenated but wonder what you will do for the weekend. Not sure what there is to do you settle on dinner and a movie. Saturday arrives and again you find yourself wondering what to do. More than likely you will settle on dinner and another movie. Sunday arrives and you go to church. After church you have lunch before returning home the remainder of the day in order to rest up for a new workweek. This may not sound exactly like your life, but for the most part our days can feel as though they are turning into a routine. We sometimes feel as though we are just going through the motions and wonder what life is really all about. Life will never be easy. There are peeks and valleys in life that everyone goes through. Life is a gift that should be enjoyed. There are some that even wish the weekdays away in order to get to the weekend sooner. There are 365 days in a year, 12 months in a year, 52 weeks in a year, 7 days in a week, 24 hours in a day, 60 minutes in an hour, sixty seconds in a minute and 86, 400 seconds in a day. What are you going to do with your 86,400 seconds today? Life is not dull, life is not routine and life is not guaranteed. We all have one life to live and as each second passes we lose another precious moment of life that we can never, ever get back. The seconds pass quickly so please enjoy each and every one of your 86, 400 seconds each and every day. Life is much too precious to waste. Live life to the very fullest.
