He would have been a senior this year. Graden Gaines, a much loved and even more missed Mt. Juliet son who died in 2005, was honored by his fellow classmates

and Mt. Juliet High School baseball players last week when the team played their fi rst home game at the new baseball fi eld and dedicated their season, according to one baseball mom, to Graden. “The team wanted to dedicate their season

to him,” said Charlayne Trotter, mother of MJHS Junior ballplayer Landon Trotter. “All the boys on the team knew him and miss him.” Graden died after a long battle with a rare form of brain cancer and brain tumor, but only after years of playing baseball in Mt. Juliet and making lifelong friends along the way. That friendship and dedication was illustrated by the MJHS baseball team on March 11, when the team members each wore a jersey with Graden’s number 11, and the MJHS baseball team won the game with a score of 11 – 0 against McGavock High School. “It’s like he was watching over them or something,” Trotter said. Trotter also said she was impressed with the new

MJHS baseball fi eld and the amount of work put into it by local education offi cials, parents and team boosters. Her husband Gregg Trotter is the president of the Baseball Booster Club and worked to make a baseball bat holder

for the team. She noted that no one will wear the number 11 this year, in honor of Graden, and that the team hung Graden’s baseball

County squires table Bible Park for now

Wilson County commissioners decided to defer to the appropriate committ The commission decided to defer to the appropriate committee a resolution to rescind all previous legislation supporting the Bible Park. It also removed from consideration a resolution supporting the 5 percent privilege tax for the park at the request of the developer. ee a resolution to rescind all previous legislation supporting the Bible Park. It also removed from consideration a resolution supporting the 5 percent privilege tax for the park at the request of the developer at Monday night’s Wilson County Commission meeting. The Wilson County jail is overcrowded and it is costing the county money, Sheriff Terry Ashe told the commission. He said part of the reason for the increase is the number of state inmates the county is required to house. He told commissioners he has transferred more than 20 state prisoners to other area jails in the past week. The county jail only has a capacity of 296 inmates, but it has housed up to 301 in recent days

which is against state regulations, the sheriff said in his written report to squires. After questions from the commission, Ashe explained that since the state is short of beds, counties are being required to keep felony offenders in the local jails and to do so for less money per day than it actually costs the counties. The state pays about $35 per day for state prisoners, but it costs between $50 and $60 to house them, Ashe said. “But they have the pencil,” he said of state offi cials. “They write the contracts and set the quota. We just have to obey the law.” Ashe also told the commission that civil warrants were high due at least in part to evictions and foreclosures in the county. In other business, the commission voted unanimously to participate in the Three-Star program, which is a statewide program which helps create sustained economic growth and offers opportunities to develop programs that improve the economic appeal of the county. C o m m i s s i o n e r s also approved several requests to make line item transfers in various

departments, including a $1million amendment to allow the Wilson County school cafeteria fund to use surplus funds generated by the school lunch program to replace worn equipment in several schools in the county. On a lighter note, the commission agreed unanimously to request that Tennessee Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, and U.S. Reps. Bart Gordon and Jim Cooper oppose any action stemming from a suggestion by the Environmental Protection Agency to levy a tax on cows as a way to curb methane production. The resolution said the plan “appears to be outrageous.”

Wilson County jail overcrowded, costing county

bag on the back of the bleachers in his honor. “It’s like he’s there with all the other seniors,” she said. “He’s there in spirit, and they know that.” The March 11 opening game was a special night for Graden’s parents, Lisa Woodard and Jeff Gaines, as well, who shared the opening pitch for the new fi eld and new season with MJHS Principal Mel Brown. Singer Ken Mellons sang the National Anthem. “It was just such a moving night for so many

people,” Trotter said. “The parents have done and unbelievable job – they’ve put in a lot of hours and dedicated a lot of time to that fi eld and these boys. I just think that in these times of such bad news everywhere, and everyone’s so worried about so much, it’s nice to know that there’s people who still remember a great kid who meant so much to people and hold him in their hearts. I like knowing that this season’s dedicated to Graden, and that these boys remember their friend, and miss him.”

A former Mt. Juliet city planner who recently settled a lawsuit for wrongful termination escaped the axe again Monday night when the city leaders whom he answers to now decided not to terminate him, offi cials said Tuesday. The fate of former Mt. Juliet city planner Bobby Franklin, who has been employed as the city manager for the City of Lakewood, TN, for the past some 15 months, was decided Monday night when Lakewood city commissioners did not take action or vote to fi re Franklin. According to Lakewood City Commissioner Aaron Prince, the issued stemmed from Franklin’s enforcement – or lack thereof – of city codes. “Some of the commissioners thought Bobby (Franklin) wasn’t cleaning up the city quick

enough,” Prince said Tuesday. “It had to do with codes and appearances as you enter the city. I think the main concern had to do with

the Old Hickory Boulevard area.” The motion for a special-call city commission meeting was made by, Prince said, Commissioner John McClung and seconded by Vice Mayor James Allen. But the meeting was “all for naught,” according to Prince, because the motions to terminate Franklin were withdrawn “because of the discussion at the table.” “There’s some problems, I think, with communication (between the city commissioners),” Prince said. “And there’s only so many meetings we can have and so many commissioners that can talk at the same time because of the Sunshine laws.” Prince added that the special called meeting was open to the public, “and the public was there.” He said that Franklin has been employed by the City of Lakewood for some 15 months, and that “by Tennessee law” a hired city manager has a 12 month contract and then is employed month to month. He said the meeting was called due to some “complaints some commissioners had about Bobby’s service,” but that during that 12 month period the commission had to prove evidence of “gross misconduct, which is spelled out in the law,” in order to terminate Franklin. Prince added that

he meeting “was kind of a surprise to all of us.” “We were all in on the hiring of Bobby for city manager,” Prince said. Lakewood Mayor Jeff Thompson said he agreed that there was a breakdown of communication within the city commission. “I am very happy that the commissioner that called the meeting retracted his motion to terminate Mr. Franklin,” Thompson remarked via email on Tuesday. “After some discussion I think we concluded that there were some misunderstandings and communication issues we need to resolve. We will work through these issues and get back to the business of making our city a better place to live and do business.” Franklin recently settled a wrongful termination lawsuit with the City of Mt. Juliet for $166,000, with the City of Mt. Juliet paying $75,000 and the City’s insurance carrier paying $91,000, in order to keep the case from going to Federal Court and, Mt. Juliet offi cials said, possibly costing the City hundreds of thousands more. In addition to the settlement money, reports from Franklin’s attorney say that Franklin has agreed to dismiss the claims against Mt. Juliet City Recorder Sheila Luckett and Mayor Linda Elam with full prejudice and the two termination letters will be removed from Franklin’s personnel fi le and a letter of resignation effective 7-13-07 will be substituted. Upon request, city personnel will advise that Franklin voluntarily resigned. Lakewood Vice Mayor James Allen and Commissioner John McClung did not return requests for comment on this article by press time Tuesday. Franklin said only that the Lakewood City Commission did not vote to fi re him, and the motion to terminate him was retracted and no vote was taken.

If all goes to plan, it’ll be like Providence… only bigger. That’s the word from developers and representatives of Bel Air at Beckwith, the 500-plus acre development planned for the area off the Beckwith Road interchange of Interstate 40, who met with the Mt. Juliet Chamber of Commerce E c o n o m i c D e v e l o p m e n t Committee on Friday, March 13. T h e property is unique, representat ives said, in that it encompasses parts of three planning and zoning jurisdictions – the Cities of Mt. Juliet and Lebanon and Wilson County. It is bounded by Interstate 40 on the north, Beckwith Road on the west, South Posey Hill Road on the east and Posey Hill Road on the south. Rezoning of a portion of the property has been approved by the City of Lebanon. While no rezoning was requested in the Wilson County segment of the property, the county approved an Interlocal Agreement related to cities’ boundaries within the project. The Mt. Juliet zoning process, including 239 acres of the total parcel, begins with the presentation of a concept plan to the Mt. Juliet Planning Commission, which is planned for the April meeting. R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s including John Van Mol and attorney Jere McCullouch, who represents the owners, said that nearly one-fi fth of the development will be preserved and developed as parks and open space, including protected acreage with walking trails along Sullivan Branch, a picturesque small stream running north and south through the property.

Developer Brock Rust said the Mt. Juliet portion of the property will be a PUD (Planned Unit Development) with mixed use. “We envision a retail neighborhood type ‘Town Center’ within the same structure,” Rust explained to the economic leaders of

Mt. Juliet on Friday. “This will be a community with retail, offi ce space and/or condos. Green space, lots of criss-crossing walking, biking and running paths with parks interspersed.” Rust added that developers envision an assisted living facility within the Mt. Juliet portion of Bel Air at Beckwith as well as apartments, single and multi-family housing. Retail space will be generally closest to I-40 and Beckwith Road, with the mixed-use offi ce and residential areas further inside the central core of the property. The residential component of the development is planned to include single-family homes, possibly townhouses (connected single-family homes), and luxury apartments. “The owners are really excited about the project,” he said. “They have made a tremendous fi nancial investment. There is a need for rooftops, for retail and commercial development.” R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s likened the Bel Air project, with its expansive availability and potential

draw for major corporate headquarter relocation, to Cool Springs, only more attractive considering Mt. Juliet’s vicinity to not one but two airports and downtown Nashville. “This has the potential for a substantial economic opportunity for

Mt. Juliet and the entire Wilson County area,” said Van Mol, whose fi rm DVL has handled public relations for such projects as the SuperSpeedway located near Gladeville. He said the development has the potential for a substantial impact on tax revenue for Mt. Juliet, which would impact revenue and additional area schools, public works and services. Rob Porter with Civil Site

Design, main designer of the development, said there could be approximately 400 residential units to impact Mt. Juliet, but the addition in

Metro Nashville Police Sex Crimes detectives Thursday arrested a Juvenile Court employee who is a resident of Mt. Juliet on charges of aggravated statutory rape and contributing to the delinquency of a minor after an investigation showed she engaged in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old boy a short time after he was released from the Juvenile Detention Center. Tammy Elder Graves, 42, of Timber Trail Drive in Mt. Juliet, worked in a clerical role on child support matters and part-time in the detention area. Detectives learned it was Graves’ part-time job that

resulted in her meeting the 17-year-old earlier this year

while he was incarcerated. During an interview with

detectives last week, Graves admitted that after the teenager’s release last month, she took him to a home on Meridian Street where the two drank vodka and engaged in sex. The Sex Crimes Unit’s investigation began after Juvenile Court offi cials became suspicious of Graves’ behavior and requested that the police department become involved. Graves has been suspended from her Juvenile Court duties pending a due process hearing next week. Her access to the building has been totally removed. Graves’ bond on the two criminal charges is set at $15,000.

And then there was… silence. The Mt. Juliet Quiet Zone goes into effect on Friday, March 20. This means that areas along the Music City Star Commuter Railway on West Division Street will not be bothered by the blaring whistle of the train until the stop at N. Mt. Juliet Road. But the most important part of the change, according to Mt. Juliet Assistant Public Works Director Cajun Joyner, is the safety precautions that come with it. Joyner stressed that

area citizens, drivers and visitors pay special attention to the new “pre-light” at South Greenhill Road and West Division Street, just north of the Willoughby Station subdivision on South Greenhill Road. He said the lane delineators are meant to prevent drivers from crossing into the opposite lane of traffi c to go through the gates across the train tracks. Joyner said the light on the north side should be considered the primary traffi c controlling device and is meant to stop drivers from crossing the tracks and backing up traffi c. He added that at the

intersection of 4th and Tate Lane there are no pre-lights but drivers should pay attention to the pre-warning signage announcing the (No Train Horn) at the intersection. The commuter train will continue, Joyner said, to blow its horn at the intersection at N. Mt. Juliet Road, Industrial Drive and Clemmons Drive. Those intersections are being considered for the next phase of the Quiet Zone but will not be implemented until the widening of Mt. Juliet Road construction has been offi cially approved and begins.

MJ Quiet Zone goes into effect Friday, Mar. 20By Tomi L. Wiley Managing Editor

schools and fi re and police protection would come with the increased sales tax revenue garnered by the project. Infrastructure, he said, for the project was implemented at the time the Beckwith interchange was built. He added that within Mt. Juliet, the estimated retail space could be as much as

500,000 square feet and around 400,000 square feet of offi ce space.

For the entire property, the number could be as many as three million square feet of offi ce space. “It’s not going to happen next month,” Porter said, “but it will be a substantial increase in jobs, in people, and in dollars for us all.”

It’s what I like to call a dog day afternoon. The City of Mt. Juliet will hold a grand opening for its fi rst Dog Park, located at the South Mt. Juliet Park on SE Springdale Street in Belinda City, off Belinda Parkway behind Providence MarketPlace, on Wednesday, March 18, at 10 a.m. The Bark Park is approximately one acre of fenced-in grassy lawn, according to Mt. Juliet Park Athletic Director Tim Henson. Currently the Bark Park has benches and waste receptacles for dogs of all

sizes, but City offi cials are interested in what local dog owners would like to see in the dog park in the line of obstacles and toys for dogs. Dogs of all sizes are welcomed, but there are some restrictions, including: no aggressive breeds, no dogs in heat and dogs must be at least four months old. The Dog Park will be open from dawn until dusk, and additional rules and restrictions will be posted at the park. For more information on the Mt. Juliet Dog Park or to voice your opinion on what should be located there call Tim Henson at 615-642-6130.

Refl ections from anOld Friend

How to be a Rich Person during Tough Times With what seems like a daily dose of bad news and recession related information plastered on our televisions, radios and computers, it’s easy to see how someone could get depressed, stressed, and become downright miserable. These are tough times most of us have never seen. These tough times can very easily cause us to lose focus on what’s really most important in life. When times get tough we must get tougher. During tough times we need to be even closer to our family and friends. If we lean on one another during tough times we will truly realize that it doesn’t take money and material things to make you rich. For example: What makes you a rich person? Is it money? So many people have lived their entire lives looking for that pot of gold or searching for a way to become rich only to fi nd that they had been rich all along. Some will work many jobs sacrifi cing multiple hours of family, fun and relaxation time all for the almighty dollar. Unfortunately, many of these people will never achieve what some would refer to as being rich. Some believe being rich means that you have to have lots of money, fancy cars, jewelry and a big house and that’s simply not the case. It’s true and I must admit that having plenty of money wouldn’t hurt, but that’s not what makes you a rich person. There are plenty of examples of people that won millions by winning the lottery only to become more miserable. As it has been proven many times before, being rich has very little to do with money, homes, jewelry or fancy cars. Being rich has everything to do with having people that love you, your health and knowing that your family and friends are safe, happy and healthy. We must never lose sight of what really makes us so called rich. Don’t get me wrong, having money to spend is nice but it’s not everything. Does it help? Of course it helps, but it will not make you happy. For example, no amount of money in the world can guarantee someone’s health or even tomorrow. If you died today you couldn’t take the money with you but you could take the love with you. Other examples are cars, jewelry or worldly possessions. They’re great to have but you can’t take them with you. Cars tend to sit in a garage, jewelry tends to sit in a jewelry case unworn and most possessions simply sit idle collecting dust. If you don’t have love in your heart and your health you can’t enjoy any of these things no matter how much money you have. In other words, being rich has nothing to do with money. Being rich is a state of mind. The person that awakes each and every day thanking God for his wife, children, family, friends, health and blessings will live rich lives. Being rich with money will only make you a poor person if you don’t have love, good health and happiness in your life. We’ve all lost someone we love or been heart broken. Think about it, when you lose someone you love or have a sick family member or friend chances are you aren’t thinking about money or possessions. The next time you question your wealth in dollars and possessions simply take a look at the people that love and care for you and you will suddenly realize just how truly rich and wealthy you are. Simply put, I bet you are extremely rich even without the fi rst dollar in your pocket. Just take a look around and you’ll suddenly see just how truly wealthy you are. Now you probably know a lot more rich folk, including yourself!
