Area Crye-Leike Realtors launched an early spring for the animals and staff at the new Mt. Juliet Animal Shelter on Tuesday when they donated a $500 check, animal beds, food, treats, towels and more. As the economy worsens, said Mt. Juliet Police Department Animal Control Sgt. Keith Youmans said, more people cannot afford their pets and are dropping them off at the shelter. He said “almost all” of the cats and dogs that are brought to the facility were at one time someone’s pet, “someone’s family member.” The monetary donation will go toward medical and dental treatment for older animals or animals that may not be initially considered “adoptable” because of health issues. Since it opened in December, the shelter has taken in 143 animals and adopted out over 90 of them. Youmans said the shelter averages 10 adoptions per week, has been blessed with donations and has raised over $9,000 since opening through donations and adoption fees, and has between five and 10 people volunteering each week. For more information on how you can help through donations or volunteering – which is desperately needed – call the Mt. Juliet Animal Shelter at 615-773-5533.

Change seems to be a recurring theme echoing through the country these

days, and the halls of Mt. Juliet City Hall are no exception. Faces of City staff have changed during the 18-month tenure of City

Manager Randy Robertson, who said he believes that the changes are for the positive. Pouncing upon an opportunity to enlist one of the most popular motivational speakers in the country, and who is kicking off another world tour this spring, Robertson had Reggie Dabbs speak at City Hall on Friday to members of City staff on the subject of change and the positive impact of a sense of place upon his life. Robertson met and asked Dabbs to speak to City employees and guests after Dabbs spoke at Mt. Juliet schools last week about the importance of community members in the life of children: Dabbs was the son of single, teen-aged mother

in Knoxville once lived in a chicken coop with her infant children and was paid once for sex, resulting in Dabbs’s birth. She left her child with her fi rst grade teacher, who eventually adopted Dabbs, giving him their family’s last name. Through The Boys Club and the support and interaction of local policemen Dabbs avoided the much-traveled road of inner-city children and instead focused on his future. “The past does not dictate who you are or can become,” he said, addressing the several Mt. Juliet Police offi cers in the audience. “Its town like Knoxville and Mt. Juliet that shape who you are.” Dabbs speaks to approximately 2.5 million people per year ranging from public schools – of which is ranked fi rst in the country – to members of the National Football League. He even has an NFL championship ring he received as a gift for a speaking gig. He launches a world tour this spring to

spread the message that change is possible and starts in the community. “It’s a pure freaky thing that I get to speak to people,” Dabbs said. “And why? Because of a city that cares about people.” Dabbs speaks primarily to students around the country and the people who took the time and effort to make positive changes in the lives of those children. “Today’s generation is facing unparalleled hurts, pressures and choices. If we can heal those hurts, help in times of pressure and equip students in their choices, we will have better students and a positive school atmosphere,” says Dabbs in his mission statement. “You can’t change your past, but you can change your future. With all that students are facing, we must give them hope.” Dabbs especially acknowledged the policemen and City workers, who he said work behind the scenes

?MJ robber, sought by FBI, arrested

A Wilson County man who is a suspect in a rash of local bank and business robberies was captured this past week when a dye bomb exploded after he allegedly robbed yet another bank in Hermitage, authorities confi rmed Tuesday. Fred Bates was formally charged with armed bank robbery after he was arrested on Feb. 17 as he tried to run from the Wachovia Bank on Lebanon Road in Hermitage, said Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent Brett Shields. Bates is also the suspect in a string of bank robberies in Wilson County and Nashville since September, including two Wilson Bank & Trust branches, a Mt. Juliet SunTrust bank, Wachovia and other area businesses. “He is the suspect in multiple bank robberies,” Shields said Tuesday, “but as part

of the criminal prosecution process I cannot reveal all the banks and businesses. He has not yet been fully indicted.” Bates reportedly was a customer at a Mt. Juliet Wilson Bank & Trust which

he recently robbed, according to a source inside the bank. He usually utilized the drive-through at the bank, and his voice was recognizable when he wielded his weapon and demanded money from bank tellers. Bates allegedly robbed the Mt Juliet

SunTrust bank at 15375 Lebanon Road on Dec. 19, 2008. Mt. Juliet Police offi cers responded to the call but turned the case over to FBI offi cials since a fi nancial institution was involved. Shields said in January that

Bates was a suspect in the armed robbery of the Little Caesars Pizza in Shiloh Plaza in Mt. Juliet and “several other” bank robberies in Davidson County. Shields would not divulge the amount of money stolen or whether Bates’ weapon was loaded. Shields said Tuesday that Bates, who was reportedly an employee at TRW in Lebanon, remains in

custody in Davidson County. No court date has been set since Bates has not “been fully indicted” by a Federal grand jury.

Fred Bates

with important work. He pointed out that everyone has problems,

and police offi cers especially deal with those issues each and every day as they handle domestic violence and abuse, hurt and neglected children and battered spouses. He said that everyone has a secret dark pain even if the circumstances are different. “Even if you don’t know their home, you know their pain,” Dabbs said. “When I was growing up, the cops were always there. They would strip off their shirts and play basketball with us. What other people never saw, you saw.” Dabbs added the importance of taking a chance on children and not taking anyone at face value. He smiled at the policemen and recalled once when he was picked up by police for truancy. “The next time you have a chubby little black kid in the back of your car and he’s skipped school – it could be the next Reggie,” he pointed out. “Boys like me don’t become men like me without towns like this. Dabbs said that part of the change police offi cers and City workers could promote for others has to do with changing people’s “tags,” or how they feel about their lives: helping to change “trash to hope, useless to peace, dead to life.” Dabbs reiterated that unfortunate experiences and situations in life happen to nearly everyone and are no excuse to refuse a positive change. Bad things happen, times change, and very few people are exempt from feeling the impacts – it is how you react that can change your life. “No matter who you are or what you do, there is something in your past trying to kill you,” Dabbs said quietly to the audience. “What’s yours?”

State sovereignty is a big deal to state legislators; hopefully, it is to you as well. It is what keeps the federal government from over stepping its constitutional bounds. Today many state legislators, including some in Tennessee, have decided it is time to affi rm state sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and demand the federal government halt its practice of assuming powers and of imposing mandates upon the states for purposes not enumerated by the Constitution. The history of the formation of our federal government is long and complex but what the framers sought was a government that protected

man’s natural rights; declared by the Declaration of Independence to be the

right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; better interpreted to mean that all men, by nature are equally free and independent with the right to work, acquire property and pursue their own individual happiness. When the Constitution was drawn, the various states in existence already had Constitutions with several enumerated rights. Therefore, many of the framers believed that it was not necessary to include individual rights in a federal constitution. They feared that in doing so, the Constitution might incorrectly be construed as a document which limited the rights of the people and of the states. Eventually the supporters of a bill of rights won out, and the Bill of Rights was drafted to guarantee equal rights for all Americans but compromise also brought the Tenth Amendment guaranteeing limits on federal power;

1. Freedoms of speech, press and religion 2. People’s right to keep and bear arms 3. Protection from quartering troops 4. To be free of unreasonable searches and seizures 5. Right to due process and the prohibition of double jeopardy 6. Trial by jury and other rights of the accused 7. Right to civil trial by jury

8. Prohibition of excessive bail, as well as prohibitions against cruel and unusual

punishment 9. Protection of rights not specifi cally enumerated in the Bill of Rights 10. Powers reserved for the states and people As you can see, the various rights are not necessarily rights that exist in the state of nature but rather rights designed to affi rm and protect our natural rights; for example, freedom of the press protects liberty, and trial by jury protects life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The state sovereignty movement seeks to remind the federal government

that the Tenth Amendment ensures that “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” After all, the federal government was created by the states specifi cally to be an agent of the states. However today, in 2009, the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government. Many powers and federal mandates are directly in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution; this limits our freedom and costs taxpayers untold billions of dollars - or should I say trillions? I believe that it is time we step forth as other states are doing and affi rm Tennessee’s sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution over all powers not otherwise enumerated and granted to the federal government by the Constitution of the United States. We should also demand that the federal government halt and reverse its practice of assuming powers and of imposing mandates upon the states for purposes not enumerated by the Constitution. Tennessee HJR 108 will do just that. With your support, hopefully, we can begin to reverse the federal power grab. State Representative Susan Lynn, 57th District

City of Mt. Juliet offi cials have a bit of breathing room when it comes to having to meet accelerated bond payments, they heard Monday, as the main bond issuer has verbally agreed to a 30-day reprieve before the fi rst $141,000 payment, initially due March 1. City leaders received the call from investment giant JP Morgan, the company calling in payment on a $4.8 million bond issue, just before 4 p.m. Monday with the news that the company will grant the 30-day reprieve for payment. A resolution had already been placed on Monday night’s scheduled City Commission agenda to approve a $150,000 loan from a local bank, before news of the reprieve. Mt. Juliet City Attorney Jason Holleman said that while written verifi cation from JP Morgan was expected on Tuesday, permission to take out the $150,000 loan in the event that it does not and meet the March 1 deadline was necessary and solved by approving the resolution. Commissioners approved it, with District 3 Commissioner Ed Hagerty

and District 4 Commissioner Jim Bradshaw voting against it. City commissioners will try out a “paperless” system, approving by 3 – 2 to buy or lease laptop computers on a trial basis and cut out both paper expense and employee time. In more costly news, commissioners approved a budget amendment to fund the recent lawsuit involving former City Planner Bobby Franklin, for which the City will pay $75,000. Franklin sued the City, as well as several individual Mt. Juliet City employees and offi cials, for wrongful termination. In order to save costs that would be incurred in taking the case to Federal court and possibly losing, commissioners agreed last week to settle out of court, to the dismay and disagreement of Mayor Linda Elam, who was individually sued in the case. Commissioners unanimously approved the ordinance to fund the settlement on second reading, with Elam abstaining. C o m m i s s i o n e r s approved on second reading to amend the Mt. Juliet Code concerning the indemnifi cation of City employees by a 4 – 1 vote, with Bradshaw voting

against. Commissioners also approved on second reading an ordinance to amend the budget to allow an additional $20,000 for the new Skate Park at Charlie Daniels Park, which will break ground on Wednesday, March 4. C o m m i s s i o n e r s unanimously approved an amendment to the City sign ordinance for 24-square foot signs, as well as a resolution asking the County Commission to fund $950,000 toward construction of the Reverse L to the new Mt. Juliet High School. Elam said she would have her fi nal draft of the letter sent before the end of the month. C o m m i s s i o n e r s unanimously approved on second reading to amend the Sewer Fund budget for the relocation of a sewer line along N. Mt. Juliet Road. Also unanimously approved was a resolution for the mayor to sign a Puckett Engineering Agreement for E-911 Center and Server room. An amendment to the budget to allot funds for attorneys of Bond Memorial Chapel, stemming from a lawsuit and appeals defeat for the City, was approved on fi rst reading, with Bradshaw voting against it.

It’s training that can save a life. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is the technique used to keep blood fl owing to the heart and brain during a cardiac arrest. The Health Sciences Center of Emphasis at Volunteer State Community College has just reached a CPR milestone: they have trained more than 10,000 members of the community. “We’re an aging population. Heart disease is the number one killer for men and women,” said Center of Emphasis Director Kyla Webb. “The ability to provide emergency care to someone having a heart attack is really valuable. You increase the survival rate and the quality of recovery for the patient.” The Center of Emphasis is an American Heart Association training center. Instructors teach

classes for everyone from the general public, in the popular CPR Saturday series, to educators and health care providers. The classes give hands on training in the latest techniques to use. “I’ll know how to respond in an emergency,” said student Charm Sullivan of Mt. Juliet. “I can help revive someone with the correct steps. Many people have a basic knowledge of CPR, but this class shows me the right way to do it.” The Vol State Center of Emphasis provides many different classes, in many health related fi elds. The center of Emphasis is expanding to work with other types of businesses that need health care related classes. For more information visit www.volstate.edu/Center or call 615-230-3338.

Two absent commissioners led to a recess of Wilson County Commission before voting on a privilege tax for the proposed Bible Park USA Monday night at the group’s regular meeting. District 8 Commissioner Frank Bush and District 14 Commissioner Jeff Joines were absent from the meeting, which led supporters of the 5 percent privilege tax for the Bible Park to be concerned if they had the two-thirds majority, or 17 votes, required by state law to pass the ordinance. State law also requires tax ordinances to pass three readings at three consecutive regular meetings. So when the matter came up on the agenda, District 21 Commissioner Eugene Murray moved to defer the vote until the end of the meeting. The deferment passed, 15-8, opposed by District 1 Commissioner Larry West, District 3’s Fred Weston, District 4’s Jim Emberton, District 5’s Carolyn Thompson, District 11’s Bob Neal, District 12’s Billy Rowland, District 19’s L.T. Jenkins and District 22’s Heather Scott. As soon as the rest of commission’s business was complete, Scott moved to adjourn, which would have killed the ordinance. However, the motion failed 8-15 with the same commissioners voting to adjourn as had opposed the deferral. Then Murray made the motion to recess

until 6:45 p.m., Monday, March 16, right before the commission’s next regular meeting. County Attorney Mike Jennings warned the commissioners that the recessed meeting must be completed by 7 p.m. March 16 when the next regular meeting starts. Murray said he wanted the recess so all the commissioners could have their say on the issue which he noted has become controversial. In other action, the commission heard about issues concerning the Budget Committee’s request for both a status quo budget and one that refl ects a 10 percent cut. Sheriff Terry Ashe and Wilson Emergency Management Agency Director John Jewel told the commission their departments could not cut 10 percent without cutting vital services. Ashe said the only part of his budget state law allows him any control over is the School Resource Offi cers. He added that he felt it would be dangerous for teachers and students if those offi cers were cut from the budget. Jewell said his department could only meet a 10 percent cut by closing two fi re stations. But Budget Committee Chair Bernie Ash explained that the 10 percent budget was a worst case scenario, not a plan for fi scal year 2009-2010. “We don’t expect to have to make any cuts at this time,” Ash said. “But if the bottom drops out, we need to have your recommendations

because I don’t want the budget committee to make those decisions on their own.” Wilson County Schools Director Mike Davis also brought some budget news to the commission although the school budget was exempted from the 10

Attention all Mt. Juliet Sonic Drive In fans: your ship is about to come in. Mt. Juliet Regional Planning commissioners approved plans for a new Sonic to be located in Providence Commons, a development under construction behind the Holiday Inn Express on S. Mt. Juliet Road, south of Providence MarketPlace. After much discussion concerning the logistics of the drive through and ingress/egress options, the commission voted 4-2-1 to approve the plan. Planning

Also approved with conditions was the revised lan site for Providence Commons. In other food news, commissioners also approved the site plan for Buffalo Wild Wings to be located on Adams Lane.

commission that state funding is expected to be down, but federal stimulus money may make that defi cit up. Waving a one dollar bill, he said, “The federal government is giving out 787 million of these, and I intend to get every one I can for Wilson County.”

The annual Young Authors’ Conference will return to Cumberland University on Saturday, March 7 from 8:30 a.m. until noon, f e a t u r i n g the works of hundreds of young authors from Wilson County and Lebanon city schools and a keynote address by we l l - known c h i l d r e n ’ s i l l u s t r a t o r K e v i n Hawkes. This year’s conference marks the ninth for the Wilson County and Lebanon school systems. Each year, more than 300 students from grades one through six are chosen to attend the Young Authors’ Conference at Cumberland. The selections are made at the local schools and are based on the creativity and effort put into each student’s work. The selected young authors are then invited to attend the conference at Cumberland

University, where they will share their works and hear from a noteworthy fi gure in children’s literature.

This year’s keynote speaker is Kevin Hawkes. An illustrator of more than 35 celebrated books – including “The Librarian Who Measured the Earth” and “My Little Sister Ate One Hare” – Hawkes was inspired by the changing c h i l d h o o d landmarks of his military family

and by the encouragement of his second-grade art teacher. “My mother and father loved books. Mom was always reading bedtime stories, and Dad entertained us … with stories of dragons and giants,” Hawkes recalled. The Young Authors’ Conference is sponsored by the CBRL Group, the Lebanon/Wilson County Chamber of Commerce and Cumberland University.

Young Authors’ Conference returns to CU on March 7

Refl ections from anOld Friend

Hold Your Head Up Times are indeed tougher now than many of us have ever known or seen before in our lives. But the tough times will pass and we will all be better prepared for the future as a result. Remember the old saying “when the going gets tough, the tough get going” by Joseph P. Kennedy, or ”The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” by Franklin D. Roosevelt? When times get tough we look for light at the end of the tunnel. Our goal should to be a part of that light at the end of the tunnel. I will list below other motivational quotes.

• “This too shall pass” Abraham Lincoln• “Success is not fi nal, failure is not fatal: it is courage that counts” Winston Churchill• “Never, never, never, never give up” Winston Churchill• “Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal” E. Joseph Cossman• “No matter how diffi cult the challenge, when we spread our wings of faith and allow the winds of God’s spirit to lift us, no obstacle is too great to overcome”. • “Diffi culties should act as a tonic. They should spur us to greater exertion”. B.C. Forbes• “A desire can overcome all obstacles”. Gunderson.• “It’s not whether you get knocked down. It’s whether you get back up”. Vince Lombardi.• “You must do the thing you think you cannot do”. Eleanor Roosevelt.• “For every mountain there is a miracle”. Robert H. Schuller.• “In the middle of diffi culty lies opportunity”. Albert Einstein

I hope that these inspirational quotes have helped in some way. Just remember to be thankful for the blessings you have, and to try and not focus on the ones you don’t have. Hold your head up and keep on reaching for the stars. Life is great!

WHAT ARE “HONEY DO’S”?All the things around the houseYou’d like your “Honey” to do.

Things that break, won’t work, or fitThat you just can’t get to.

We know how hard it is to findsomeone to do repair.

So if your job is large or smallour quality is the same.

So start a list and keep it outBuilding Reputation is more than just our name.

Of course large jobs we love to getMore small than large we do.

This poem we wrote for you to readis just for “Honey Do’s.
