Thursday, November 25, 2010 • B1 Sports Williamson Herald BGA’s playoff run ends in Chattanooga BY BOONE THOMSON FOR THE WILLIAMSON HERALD Battle Ground Acade- my’s playoff run came to an end Friday night as they lost 33-14 to Baylor team in the semifinals of the Divi- sion II playoffs. Baylor jumped out to a 21-0 halftime lead behind the arm and legs of quar- terback Jacob Huesman. The senior completed two, 37-yard touchdown passes to David Helton and Charbo Clark in addition to a touch- down run. BGA put eight men in the box to stop the run and that left the secondary vul- nerable. Baylor’s swarming defense shut down BGA’s offense in the half. “We just couldn’t get any rhythm with our offense in the first half and got behind,” said BGA coach Marty Euverard. Baylor received the sec- ond half kickoff and drove to the 18 when BGA senior Bobby Thoni recovered a fumble. The Wildcats drove 82 yards to make the score 21-7. Baylor answered the threat quickly when Hues- man drove the ball 51 yards. BGA drove 80 yards and made it 27-14 on a Keenan Bass 7-yard TD run but once again, the Baylor quarterback answered with a 45-yard touchdown run on Baylor’s next possession. Baylor had 378 yards of offense to 295 for BGA. Huesman ran 16 times for 181 yards and threw for 118 yards. He accounted for all five Baylor touchdowns. Keenan Bass had 84 yards rushing on 23 car- ries. CJ Beathard was 15-28 for 193 yards. Josh Smith had seven catches for 112 yards. Baylor will play En- sworth in the champion- ship game on Dec. 2. BGA ended their season with a 7- 6 record. The Wildcats will return eight starters on offense and 10 on defense next season.

BA led 19-13 before Ensworth re- ceiver Cory Batey caught a Drew Parker pass in the back-corner of the end zone while getting one foot down inbounds according to ref- erees, giving the Tigers their first lead of the contest with 30 seconds remaining. The game looked to be in hand five plays earlier when three Eagle defensive linemen sacked Parker for a 16-yard loss. An Ensworth holding penalty on the next play put the Tigers in a third-and-37 hole at the eight-yard line before the senior quarterback hit David Dingess on an improbable 44-yard pass – giving the home team new life. Eagle players had gone from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in just a two-minute span. “Right now I’m just reliving my BA years as a football player,” se- nior running back Victor Caro – the last Eagle player to leave the field – said. “When it came down to it, they were a better team tonight.” Caro fought off tears on his walk back to the locker room after laying in solitude on the field for minutes after the majority of the team had left. He had 14 carries for 83 yards with a 33-yard touchdown run in his final game as an Eagle. Tragic exits in the playoffs are unfortunately not new to BA as they fell 42-41 to Montgomery Bell Academy in multiple overtimes last year on a missed extra point. BA took advantage of good field position on their second drive of the game with a 34-yard field goal by Nathan Renfro, giving them a 3-0 lead. The Eagles would get on the scoreboard once more before the end of the quarter as Caro dove into the end zone following a 33- yard scamper with 3:21 remaining. Ben Boatright’s extra point sailed no good, leaving BA up 9-0. “I saw the hole and had a good block by Al Thompson,” Caro said of the run. “I hit it and there it was.” Momentum continued in the Ea- gles’ favor into the second quarter as they drove 14 plays in four-and-a- half minutes, extending their lead to 16-0 with a four-yard sneak by Matthew Hamby. Following a short Ensworth drive that only reached their own 31-yard line, BA looked to put a dagger into the Tigers but Hamby was intercepted on the first play by Rodney Edmiston. Ensworth could only capitalize with a 22-yard field goal by Clayton McGlasson, but the game was beginning to swing in their favor. BA’s following drive yielded only three yards before Anthony Batey blocked an Eagle punt, setting up the home team with field position at the 22-yard line with just over a minute remaining in the half. McGlasson hit another field goal, tightening the score to 16-6 at the break. In just over a four-minute span, BA went from possibly taking a 23-point advantage to having their lead cut to ten. Ensworth carried their momen- tum into the third quarter as run- ning back – and Mr. Football can- didate - Cornelius Elder broke free for a 38-yard touchdown run, bring- ing the score to 16-13. Elder was the Tigers’ biggest weapon on the night as he carried the ball 27 times for 202 yards and the score. The score remained the same for the rest of the third quarter before BA was slowed after a first-and-goal from the nine in the opening stages of the fourth. Two negative rush- ing plays and a sack by Austin Pre- vost forced the Eagles to settle for a 42-yard Renfro field goal, which was good. BA held that 19-13 advantage for over ten minutes before En- sworth’s incredible last-minute, game-winning drive. Parker com- pleted all six of his passes, bring- ing his game totals to 14-of-25 for 189 yards. “The passing game went very well,” Elder said of the final drive. “Ensworth has never made it to the championship game. BA always knocks us off, but today we did it.” Dingess was the main target as a receiver with six catches for 127 yards, three of which came in the final possession. Commentary Is it just me, or was I a huge jinx? Marcus Stone Football season is over. Harsh words – I know, but we have to find a way to be okay with this truth. With Brentwood Academy and Battle Ground Academy being eliminated from the playoffs last Friday, Williamson County has to wait the majority of nine months until football season returns. The way I am going to fill that void, at least for this week, is to recount the biggest happenings from this year’s season and list the things that I have learned. People who know me know that I have a bit of a superstitious side to me when it comes to sports. After this year’s postseason I believe I was a curse to our county’s teams. Crazy sounding, right? I thought curses and jinxes only loomed over the Chicago Cubs too, but the past three weeks lead me to a new conclusion. Go back to the first week of the postseason. Brentwood fell to Smyrna 38-16 in a game that was not nearly as close as the fi- nal score indicates. The Bruins were shut out well into the fourth quarter. No one saw this coming as Brentwood played the Bulldogs close early in the season, losing 22- 20. Move to round two. One week after upsetting a solid Oakland team, Franklin plays what has to have been the worst game they’ve played in ages – losing to Black- man 42-0. It was the first time the Rebels had been held scoreless since 2001. Round three was just as painful as Brentwood Academy led En- sworth for nearly 45-game minutes before the Tigers converted on a third-and-37 and subsequently took a 20-19 advantage just 30 be- fore the final horn. What do all these games have in common? I was in the press box for them. I might have been cursed this year. I’m really sorry Brentwood, Franklin and Brentwood Acad- emy. Next time around I will rub a lucky rabbit’s foot before entering the stadium. Let’s hope that does the trick. Moving away from that, the biggest thing I learned this year would have to be that Battle Ground Academy is a year ahead of schedule. I thought they were lining themselves up for a deep run in next year’s playoffs, but a trip to this season’s semifinals is very impressive. The Wildcats might actually be the favorite for next year’s Division II-AA crown as only 10 graduate in May. Quarterback C.J. Beathard has one more year left and run- ning back Keenan Bass has two. It may be way too early for 2011 predictions but I’m going to do it anyway. If no unforeseen changes occur, BGA has a great chance to have their first 10-win season since 2003. Look for teams to avoid putting District 7-AAA on the schedule next year, too. In 10 such games this year, Williamson County squads only won twice – Indepen- dence over Siegel in Week 1 and Franklin against Oakland in the playoffs. Home-and-away contracts for most games ended this year, al- lowing schools to schedule new opponents. It might be hard to fill in games though as a lot of out- of-county squads will not want to face the tough teams we have. Well, at least not in the regular season. Playoff games in which I am attending is another story. I swear I will do all I can not to be a jinx next year. 1961 Bob Cousy becomes the second player in NBA history to score 15,000 points. 1914 Hall of Fame baseball player Joe DiMaggio was born. 1940 Former Washington Redskins head coach, and NASCAR team owner, Joe Gibbs was born.

WILLIAMSON COUNTY HELD OUT OF CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN BACK-TO-BACK YEARS FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1985 Thursday, October 14, 2010 • B1 W Williamson Life & Entertainment BY CAROLE ROBINSON STAFF WRITER It was a cool, sunny Saturday morning – a perfect day for a walk. As the sun warmed the earth, the hearts of the more than 15,000 people gathered in Brentwood for the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure were touched with the warmth of hope. More than 11,000 actual runners and walk- ers, almost 4,000 volunteers, sponsors and vendors and about 800 dogs were there for a reason, said Kathy Parolini, executive direc- tor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Nashville affiliate. An emotionally charged survivors’ parade of pink-shirt clad women and men who sur- vived breast cancer found its way into the event site and the stage where everyone was treated to the original song “Sunshine,” by Ruth Collins, a song about hope. The goal of this year’s race was two-fold: to raise $1 million for breast cancer research and to educate and make people aware of the disease. Donations are still coming in and will con- tinue to be collected until Oct. 31. Thanks to the support of the community and the many sponsors, more than $900,000 has already been counted. Seventy-five percent of the money raised from the Race will stay within the 11-county area serviced by the Nashville Komen affiliate. Community grant applications for between $10,000 and $75,000 for any non-profit educa- tional organization, including churches, that provide breast health education, screening or treatment programs are available online at www.komennashville.org until Dec. 15.

ALL PHOTOS BY CAROLE ROBINSON Volume 6 • Number 4 20 Pages 50¢ Thursday, January 27, 2011 Response to changing at-large aldermanic election method mixed BY MINDY TATE EDITOR Franklin’s Board of Mayor and Al- dermen was divided Tuesday night on whether to pursue a change to the city’s charter through the Tennessee General Assembly to allow for the election of at-large aldermen in indi- vidual races rather than electing the top four vote getters from the field. Proposed by Vice Mayor Clyde Barnhill, the resolution passed the board 4-3, with Aldermen Mike Skin- ner, Beverly Burger and Ann Petersen voting against it and Barnhill being joined by Aldermen Dana McLendon, Margaret Martin and Pearl Bransford in favor. Mayor Ken Moore did not vote on the matter and his seat on the board remains vacant. Franklin’s voters will go to the polls Oct. 25 to elect a mayor and four at- large aldermen. Barnhill had appar- ently hoped to get the matter settled before the qualifying petitions begin to issued to candidates in the 2011 elec- tion on April 22, and while that could still be accomplished, it seemed alder- men were more in favor of letting the people vote on the issue in October’s election to decide how they want to elect at-large aldermen in 2015. State Sen. Jack Johnson watched from the audience as the vote took place and said he did not know wheth- er he and his fellow legislators would take the proposed change to the floor of the legislature’s two chambers since the matter did not gain the two- thirds majority of the board the three men have set as a barometer for char- ter-change issues. “I am not sure which comes first, the referendum or the statutory en- The Voice of America’s Greatest County Williamson BY DONNA O’NEIL STAFF WRITER “BrightStone has been a God-send for my family,” said Dr. Cathy Stallworth, whose brother is a student at Bright- Stone, a program providing work and social support for adults with special needs.

For one night only, the Johnny Cash Family is al- lowing the use of the histor- ic and timeless June Carter Cash collection of bedwear, furs, and her personal style of stage and streetwear for the fourth-annual “A Fash- ion Affair” on Saturday, Jan. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at The Factory in Franklin. The event will mark the first time Mrs. Cash’s items have seen the runway. A Vintage Affair, the Franklin-based women’s and children’s charity or- ganization, has organized this special runway tribute to Johnny and June Carter Cash. The show will also feature the “Man In Black’s” favorite designer and Nash- ville icon, Manuel, who dressed Johnny on stage throughout his career. “We are overwhelmed with the Cash family’s gen- erosity, and we’re excited to have several members of the family with us for the show,” said Ashley W. Rob- erts, managing director of A Vintage Affair. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime oppor- tunity to get a glimpse of the private life and eclectic style of June Carter Cash.” More than one dozen Williamson County Jackson National Life CEO says ‘intangibles’ key in choice of Franklin for regional HQ BY MINDY TATE EDITOR Jackson National Life CEO Mike Wells said the “intangibles” of life in Williamson County were key to the company’s deci- sion last year to select Franklin as the loca- tion for a new regional headquarters expected to employ as many as 750 people. “A lot of it here were some of the intangibles…It is the small stuff. We came out probably four times before we announced we were looking. We interact with businesses, with people and see how our employees would be treated.” Whether it was the woman in the McDonald’s who offered to lead some- one to a location rather than give them directions or the fact that education officials in secondary and area univer- sities were willing to spend time with a prospective family, all the factors played into Jackson National’s deci- sion to locate here, Wells said. “You start making decisions off lit- tle things. That decision, times 20 over the next three years, we started to feel the network. No one element made the decision, but it was the kind of thing where you start to get a feel of the com- munity.” Wells was addressing the Brentwood Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce Jan. 20 and while he focused some on the business model of the company, which is chartered as an insurance company but focuses much of its busi- ness on retirement planning and in- vestment, he spent much of his time describing the decision to pick Wil- liamson County for the new facility. As he travels across the country for Jackson National, operating out of his home base now in Franklin, Wells said he encounters questions about the se- lection of Middle Tennessee as the new regional headquarters. “One of the things and challenges for Middle Tennessee is not enough people have been here to make the de- cision to move their companies here,” Wells said. “There is a gap between people’s experience and their under- standing and it is huge.” Wells became CEO of Jackson Na- >>>Franklin, Continued on Page A12 Dr. Ken Moore becomes Franklin’s 31st mayor BY MINDY TATE EDITOR Dr. Ken Moore on Tuesday be- came Franklin’s 31st mayor in the city’s 212-year history, and has pledged he will seek a full four-year term in the Oct. 25 election.

Heartbroken:BA downed with last-minute

Ensworth touchdownBY MARCUS STONE

STAFF WRITER

Heartbreak strikes the Brent-

wood Academy football team yet

again, losing at Ensworth in a gut-

wrenching, 20-19 semifi nal game.

BA led 19-13 before Ensworth re-

ceiver Cory Batey caught a Drew

Parker pass in the back-corner of

the end zone while getting one foot

down inbounds according to ref-

erees, giving the Tigers their fi rst

lead of the contest with 30 seconds

remaining. The game looked to be in hand

fi ve plays earlier when three Eagle

defensive linemen sacked Parker

for a 16-yard loss. An Ensworth

holding penalty on the next play

put the Tigers in a third-and-37

hole at the eight-yard line before

the senior quarterback hit David

Dingess on an improbable 44-yard

pass – giving the home team new

life. Eagle players had gone from the

highest of highs to the lowest of

lows in just a two-minute span.

“Right now I’m just reliving my

BA years as a football player,” se-

nior running back Victor Caro – the

last Eagle player to leave the fi eld

– said. “When it came down to it,

they were a better team tonight.”

Caro fought off tears on his walk

back to the locker room after laying

in solitude on the fi eld for minutes

after the majority of the team had

left. He had 14 carries for 83 yards

with a 33-yard touchdown run in

his fi nal game as an Eagle.

Tragic exits in the playoffs are

unfortunately not new to BA as

they fell 42-41 to Montgomery Bell

Academy in multiple overtimes

last year on a missed extra point.

BA took advantage of good fi eld

position on their second drive of

the game with a 34-yard fi eld goal

by Nathan Renfro, giving them a

3-0 lead. The Eagles would get on

the scoreboard once more before

the end of the quarter as Caro dove

into the end zone following a 33-

yard scamper with 3:21 remaining.

Ben Boatright’s extra point sailed

no good, leaving BA up 9-0.

“I saw the hole and had a good

block by Al Thompson,” Caro said

of the run. “I hit it and there it

was.”Momentum continued in the Ea-

gles’ favor into the second quarter

as they drove 14 plays in four-and-a-

half minutes, extending their lead

to 16-0 with a four-yard sneak by

Matthew Hamby. Following a short Ensworth

drive that only reached their own

31-yard line, BA looked to put a

dagger into the Tigers but Hamby

was intercepted on the fi rst play by

Rodney Edmiston. Ensworth could

only capitalize with a 22-yard fi eld

goal by Clayton McGlasson, but the

game was beginning to swing in

their favor. BA’s following drive yielded only

three yards before Anthony Batey

blocked an Eagle punt, setting up

the home team with fi eld position

at the 22-yard line with just over

a minute remaining in the half.

McGlasson hit another fi eld goal,

tightening the score to 16-6 at the

break. In just over a four-minute span,

BA went from possibly taking a

23-point advantage to having their

lead cut to ten. Ensworth carried their momen-

tum into the third quarter as run-

ning back – and Mr. Football can-

didate - Cornelius Elder broke free

for a 38-yard touchdown run, bring-

ing the score to 16-13. Elder was the Tigers’ biggest

weapon on the night as he carried

the ball 27 times for 202 yards and

the score. The score remained the same for

the rest of the third quarter before

BA was slowed after a fi rst-and-goal

from the nine in the opening stages

of the fourth. Two negative rush-

ing plays and a sack by Austin Pre-

vost forced the Eagles to settle for

a 42-yard Renfro fi eld goal, which

was good. BA held that 19-13 advantage

for over ten minutes before En-

sworth’s incredible last-minute,

game-winning drive. Parker com-

pleted all six of his passes, bring-

ing his game totals to 14-of-25 for

189 yards. “The passing game went very

well,” Elder said of the fi nal drive.

“Ensworth has never made it to the

championship game. BA always

knocks us off, but today we did it.”

Dingess was the main target as

a receiver with six catches for 127

yards, three of which came in the

fi nal possession.

Commentary

Is it just me, or was I a huge jinx?

Marcus Stone

Football season is over. Harsh

words – I know, but we have to fi nd

a way to be okay with this truth.

With Brentwood Academy and

Battle Ground Academy being

eliminated from the playoffs last

Friday, Williamson County has to

wait the majority of nine months

until football season returns.

The way I am going to fi ll that

void, at least for this week, is to

recount the biggest happenings

from this year’s season and list the

things that I have learned.

People who know me know that I

have a bit of a superstitious side to

me when it comes to sports. After

this year’s postseason I believe I

was a curse to our county’s teams.

Crazy sounding, right? I thought

curses and jinxes only loomed

over the Chicago Cubs too, but the

past three weeks lead me to a new

conclusion. Go back to the fi rst week of

the postseason. Brentwood fell

to Smyrna 38-16 in a game that

was not nearly as close as the fi -

nal score indicates. The Bruins

were shut out well into the fourth

quarter. No one saw this coming

as Brentwood played the Bulldogs

close early in the season, losing 22-

20. Move to round two. One week

after upsetting a solid Oakland

team, Franklin plays what has to

have been the worst game they’ve

played in ages – losing to Black-

man 42-0. It was the fi rst time the

Rebels had been held scoreless

since 2001. Round three was just as painful

as Brentwood Academy led En-

sworth for nearly 45-game minutes

before the Tigers converted on

a third-and-37 and subsequently

took a 20-19 advantage just 30 be-

fore the fi nal horn. What do all these games have in

common? I was in the press box for

them. I might have been cursed this

year. I’m really sorry Brentwood,

Franklin and Brentwood Acad-

emy. Next time around I will rub a

lucky rabbit’s foot before entering

the stadium. Let’s hope that does

the trick. Moving away from that, the

biggest thing I learned this year

would have to be that Battle

Ground Academy is a year ahead

of schedule. I thought they were

lining themselves up for a deep

run in next year’s playoffs, but a

trip to this season’s semifi nals is

very impressive. The Wildcats might actually be

the favorite for next year’s Division

II-AA crown as only 10 graduate in

May. Quarterback C.J. Beathard

has one more year left and run-

ning back Keenan Bass has two.

It may be way too early for 2011

predictions but I’m going to do it

anyway. If no unforeseen changes

occur, BGA has a great chance

to have their fi rst 10-win season

since 2003. Look for teams to avoid putting

District 7-AAA on the schedule

next year, too. In 10 such games

this year, Williamson County

squads only won twice – Indepen-

dence over Siegel in Week 1 and

Franklin against Oakland in the

playoffs. Home-and-away contracts for

most games ended this year, al-

lowing schools to schedule new

opponents. It might be hard to fi ll

in games though as a lot of out-

of-county squads will not want to

face the tough teams we have.

Well, at least not in the regular

season. Playoff games in which I

am attending is another story.

I swear I will do all I can not to

be a jinx next year.

It was a cool, sunny Saturday morning – a

perfect day for a walk. As the sun warmed

the earth, the hearts of the more than 15,000

people gathered in Brentwood for the Susan G.

Komen Race for the Cure were touched with

the warmth of hope.

More than 11,000 actual runners and walk-

ers, almost 4,000 volunteers, sponsors and

vendors and about 800 dogs were there for a

reason, said Kathy Parolini, executive direc-

tor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

Nashville affi liate.

An emotionally charged survivors’ parade

of pink-shirt clad women and men who sur-

vived breast cancer found its way into the

event site and the stage where everyone was

treated to the original song “Sunshine,” by

Ruth Collins, a song about hope.

The goal of this year’s race was two-fold:

to raise $1 million for breast cancer research

and to educate and make people aware of the

disease.Donations are still coming in and will con-

tinue to be collected until Oct. 31. Thanks to

the support of the community and the many

sponsors, more than $900,000 has already been

counted. Seventy-fi ve percent of the money raised

from the Race will stay within the 11-county

area serviced by the Nashville Komen affi liate.

Community grant applications for between

$10,000 and $75,000 for any non-profi t educa-

tional organization, including churches, that

provide breast health education, screening or

treatment programs are available online at

www.komennashville.org until Dec. 15. Call 383-

0017 for more information about the grants.

Response to changingat-large

aldermanicelection method

mixedBY MINDY TATE

EDITOR

Franklin’s Board of Mayor and Al-dermen was divided Tuesday night on whether to pursue a change to the city’s charter through the Tennessee General Assembly to allow for the election of at-large aldermen in indi-vidual races rather than electing the top four vote getters from the fi eld.Proposed by Vice Mayor Clyde Barnhill, the resolution passed the board 4-3, with Aldermen Mike Skin-ner, Beverly Burger and Ann Petersen voting against it and Barnhill being joined by Aldermen Dana McLendon, Margaret Martin and Pearl Bransford in favor. Mayor Ken Moore did not vote on the matter and his seat on the board remains vacant.Franklin’s voters will go to the polls Oct. 25 to elect a mayor and four at-large aldermen. Barnhill had appar-ently hoped to get the matter settled before the qualifying petitions begin to issued to candidates in the 2011 elec-tion on April 22, and while that could still be accomplished, it seemed alder-men were more in favor of letting the people vote on the issue in October’s election to decide how they want to elect at-large aldermen in 2015.State Sen. Jack Johnson watched from the audience as the vote took place and said he did not know wheth-er he and his fellow legislators would take the proposed change to the fl oor of the legislature’s two chambers since the matter did not gain the two-thirds majority of the board the three men have set as a barometer for char-ter-change issues.

Robichaux was the only one injured in the crash, suffering a traumatic brain in-jury. Doctors told his family the pressure on his brain was not “compatible with life,” said his sister. “He was severely injured and remained in a coma for more than a month.” She feels that his top physical

While some might say this weekend’s “A Fashion Affair” is as much about being seen as seeing the vintage fashions being presented, in fact, the un-precedented access given by the family of country music greats June Carter and Johnny Cash may leave those who attend feeling differently.For one night only, the Johnny Cash Family is al-lowing the use of the histor-ic and timeless June Carter Cash collection of bedwear, furs, and her personal style of stage and streetwear for the fourth-annual “A Fash-ion Affair” on Saturday, Jan. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at The Factory in Franklin. The event will mark the fi rst time Mrs. Cash’s items have

seen the runway.A Vintage Affair, the Franklin-based women’s and children’s charity or-ganization, has organized this special runway tribute to Johnny and June Carter Cash. The show will also feature the “Man In Black’s” favorite designer and Nash-ville icon, Manuel, who dressed Johnny on stage throughout his career.

“We are overwhelmed with the Cash family’s gen-erosity, and we’re excited to have several members of the family with us for the show,” said Ashley W. Rob-erts, managing director of A Vintage Affair. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime oppor-tunity to get a glimpse of the private life and eclectic style of June Carter Cash.”More than one dozen

Jackson National Life

CEO says‘intangibles’ key in choice

of Franklin for regional HQ

BY MINDY TATEEDITOR

Jackson National Life CEO Mike Wells said the “intangibles” of life in Williamson County were key to the company’s deci-sion last year to select Franklin as the loca-tion for a new regional headquarters expected to employ as many as 750 people.

“A lot of it here were some of the intangibles…It is the small stuff. We came out probably four times before we announced we were looking. We interact with businesses, with people and see how our employees would be treated.”Whether it was the woman in the McDonald’s who offered to lead some-one to a location rather than give them directions or the fact that education offi cials in secondary and area univer-sities were willing to spend time with a prospective family, all the factors played into Jackson National’s deci-sion to locate here, Wells said.“You start making decisions off lit-tle things. That decision, times 20 over the next three years, we started to feel the network. No one element made the decision, but it was the kind of thing where you start to get a feel of the com-munity.”

Wells was addressing the Brentwood Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce Jan. 20 and while he focused some on the business model of the company, which is chartered as an insurance company but focuses much of its busi-ness on retirement planning and in-vestment, he spent much of his time describing the decision to pick Wil-liamson County for the new facility. As he travels across the country for Jackson National, operating out of his home base now in Franklin, Wells said he encounters questions about the se-lection of Middle Tennessee as the new regional headquarters.“One of the things and challenges for Middle Tennessee is not enough people have been here to make the de-cision to move their companies here,” Wells said. “There is a gap between people’s experience and their under-standing and it is huge.”
