A peaceful ride to support southern history, including the Confederate flag, was held last Saturday.
Organized by resident Hope
Craddock, Tony Law, Jackie Williams and Tracy Summers, the group
met at the Tractor Supply in Gallatin
and headed out at 11 a.m. for the
10-city ride.
They took off from Gallatin, riding

through Lebanon, Murfreesboro,
Nashville, White House, Springfield,
Portland, Westmoreland, Lafayette,
Hartsville, and then back to Gallatin. Everyone was invited to participate in the
ride, as long as they flew an American or
Confederate flag on their bike or vehicle.
“We had about 55 to 60 people we had people join us from different
places,” Craddock said. Throughout the ride, she said the
response along the way was positive.
“We had several people that let us
know they supported us - there were
only a very few that did not,” Craddock said. “Overall we had more support than not. We had about 20 supporters when we got back to Gallatin
for an added bonus and we held a rally
at Nat Caldwell Park that afternoon.”
Craddock said she, along with Hendersonville resident Tysen Ellis, are
already planning another ride in three
weeks. She hopes the rides in some
part, will help bring people together
instead of tearing people apart.
“I hope it does bring local awareness to our city and state,” she said.
“We want everyone to know we can
be allies and fight for peace and
freedom with each other instead of
against each other.”

Honor ride to Chattanooga makes its way across the state
SEE MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 24
From STAFF REPORTS
Members of the Combat Vets
and Motorcycle Association rode
from Goodlettsville to Chattanooga
on Saturday to honor those killed
recently in Chattanooga.
The riders left Goodlettsville and
made various stops on their way to
the city where five service members
were killed earlier this month.
The group stopped at Exit 62 on
I-24 in LaVergne at about 9:30 a.m.
“We are here to support our
troops,” said Jesse Aguirre, who
lives in Smyrna and is the Nashville Chapter Commander for the
Combat Vets and Motorcycle Association. “It’s gotten to the point that
others aren’t supporting them so we
have to. People have to wake up.”
Hendersonville resident Jim
Bachman, a state representative
for the organization, organized the
honor ride.
“When this shooting came up,
I was sitting at my desk, and I decided it was more important to me
to show respect now,” Bachman said
earlier this week. “I put out the word
and started getting a tremendous
response all over the state.”
More than 100 riders from across the state made
the trek to Chattanooga for the honor ride, organized by veteran and local resident, Jim Bachman.

Hendersonville Fire Department,
ADT save local family’s home

J.D. Elliott dies at 78
Hendersonville firefighters were on hand last week to reunite with a family whose home they
recently saved. Photos by Sherry Mitchell.
By SHERRY MITCHELL
It was a simple, inexpensive smoke
alarm that recently saved the home of the
Collins family in Hendersonville.
Daughter Ainsley was at home alone in
her basement bedroom, and didn’t smell anything, but heard the home’s ADT alarm system
sound off and knew something was wrong.
“I went out the garage to get upstairs to
let the dogs out and the smoke wasn’t bad,”
she said.
Not seeing any visible flames, but still in
a panic, Ainsley’s first thought was to call
her dad, Chris, who fortunately was just
about two miles down the road.
“I called dad, but didn’t even think about
calling the fire department,” she said. “Luckily,
ADT did that - by the time I went back in the
house, the smoke had doubled; maybe tripled
and they (fire department) showed up fast.”
Dispatcher honored
The ADT dispatcher that contacted the
Hendersonville Fire Department - Byllie
Sutherland - drove in from Knoxville last
Thursday where she was introduced to the
Collins family and recognized with a company Lifesaver Award for her timely response in helping to save the home.
HFD presented with check
Despite the fact that firefighters were battling another nearby fire, they were able to respond quickly and knock the fire out, leaving
the Collins family with minimal damage.

bination of things that lead to a better ending from the initial ADT call.
“This is a prime example of a smoke
detector doing what it is supposed to do,”
Bush said. “This is the meat and potatoes
of the (fire) department doing their work.
We couldn’t have done this without them.”
The HFD was also awarded a $5,000
check from ADT after being nominated by
the Collins family. Bush said the money will
go into the Hendersonville Firefighter’s Association to help residents whose homes
have been affected by fire for things including meeting their insurance deductibles,
providing temporary shelter for residents
who may not be able to return to their
homes, and replacing belongs needed immediately such as clothing.

“I have always loved to work in my garden and
my yard. I enjoyed driving the mower and the
tractor. Due to the pain and discomfort in my
right shoulder I was unable to use it and unable
to garden and mow. Thanks to Dr. Gautsch and

what I love.

The Sumner County community is
morning the loss of J.D. Elliott, 78 who
passed away Wednesday evening at Vanderbilt Medical Center, following a brief illness.
Elliot was founder and president of
The Memorial Foundation, an organization that provides grants to nonprofits
and community projects. His influence
in Sumner County will be felt for many
years, friends and associates said.
“He was the heart of our mission,
from the day we were founded, to give our
best in terms of resources, support and
encouragement to nonprofits operating
throughout our region,” Frank Grace, Jr.,
chairman of the board of directors of The
Memorial Foundation, said. “We will miss
his warmth and wisdom every day, but
will move forward into the future with his
sterling legacy to guide our way.”
County Executive Anthony Holt said
The Memorial Foundation had made a
tremendous difference in so many lives
over the years.
“It has had an unbelievable impact - they
have granted over $100 million to the communities of Sumner, Davidson, and Robertson counties,” Holt said. “Mr. Elliott started
The Memorial Foundation (in 1994), which
was connected to the sale of Memorial Hospital in Madison, and today they still have
over $100 million in the foundation.
“He was a very good steward of the people’s money and he has funded countless
nonprofits and government projects and
has really had a huge and positive impact on
all the region’s citizens in their lives.”
The changeover from the hospital to a
charitable foundation was the first of its’ kind
in Middle Tennessee. Under Elliott’s leadership, foundation funds grew from $108 million to $150 million. To date The Memorial
Foundation has served 778 different organizations and granted $135 million.
Despite his positive impact on so
many, Holt said Elliott quietly chose to
remain in the background.
“He was behind the scenes and didn’t take
any credit, but he really impacted our community in a very positive way - he was a monumental figure,” Holt said. “His death is very unfortunate and our heart goes out to his family,
friends and the community. It’s a great loss.”
Elliott served on numerous boards including Metropolitan Nashville Sports Authority, American Red Cross, Goodpasture
Christian School, Access to Justice Commission, Lipscomb University, Madison Rotary Club, Rotary Club of Nashville, Middle
Tennessee Council – Boy Scouts of America,
Alive Hospice, FiftyForward, Nashville’s
Agenda, Nashville Zoo, Men of Valor, World
Christian Broadcasting, American College
of Healthcare Executives, American Hospital Association and Forward Sumner.
His many awards and recognitions include Distinguished Service Award, Tennessee Hospital Association (1976); Meritorious Service Award, Tennessee Hospital
Association (1984); Distinguished Service
Award, Southeastern Hospital Conference (1983-84); Distinguished Service
Award, Madison Chamber of Commerce
(1978 and 1991); Distinguished Service
Award, American College of Healthcare
Executives (1991); Paul Harris Fellow,
Rotary Club; Long Rifle Award and The
Silver Beaver Award, Boy Scouts of America; Honoree Eagle Scout-Class of 1998,
Boys Scout of America; Person of the
Year, Madison Messenger (1998); Hillbilly

Human Service Award, 2011; Most Admired CEO (2013&2014) and Nashville
Business Journal Sumner County Impact
Award (2013, 2014 and 2015).
A devout Christian, Elliott was an
Elder for 25 years at Madison Church of
Christ. He is survived by his wife, Anita
Raines Elliott, two daughters, Juanita
(Jeff ) Stewart and Michelle (John) Arriola; one son, David (Debi); six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Arrangements are being handled by
Spring Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery
and were pending Thursday afternoon.
Grace said despite the loss, The Memorial Foundation will continue to serve
the local community.
“Thanks to J.D.’s leadership and example,
we do not expect there to be any interruption
in our mission as we continue to provide resources to worthy organizations throughout
our region,” Grace said, adding that Scott Perry, the foundation’s vice-president, will lead
the organization in the immediate future.
Funeral service, led by Brother Russ Corley, was held Sunday at Madison Church of
Christ. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions
can be made to either World Christian Broadcasting, 605 Bradley Court, Franklin, TN, 370678200, or to the Elliott Endowment for Teacher

Hendersonville woman won’t
let cancer knock her down
By SHERRY MITCHELL
It was a fight she hoped she
had conquered, but six weeks ago,
37-year-old Sarah Hennessy Gillum
of Hendersonville, was told her cancer had returned.
First diagnosed with breast cancer in January of 2013, Sarah had a
double mastectomy and later had reconstructive surgery. The cancer has
now spread into her lymph nodes,
sub pectoral muscles and liver.
Now, seven weeks into a 12-week
treatment program, the 1996 Gallatin High School graduate is more
determined than ever to kick cancer
right out of her life.
“Heck yeah I’m determined to
beat it,” Sarah said.
Others in her situation might
have a hard time handling things,
but Sarah, who has always had a
bubbly personality, said she won’t
let her latest diagnosis get her down,
or rob her of happiness.
“I’m just not a bummy person,
I guess,” she said. “I have a 4-yearold and I have fun with my family.
We moved in with my mom and dad
and I’m enjoying the heck out of it.
Friday night, we had a marshmallow
roast and the kids started dancing.
My parents are early birds, so we still
have our privacy.”
A hair stylist three days a week
at Z Cisco Salon and Spa in Goodlettsville, when her hair started falling out this time from the chemo
treatments, the spunky red head let
coworkers give her unique, partially
shaved hairstyle.
“I figured I would have some fun
with it,” Sarah said.
Her only complaint is that she is getting “tired and worn out” faster, she said.
“Before, I was only taking (treatments) every three weeks, so I had two
weeks to rest,” she said. “Now, it’s every
week so it’s definitely a lot harder.”
In addition to her weekly treat-
ments, Sarah is also on a high alkaline diet.
“My husband is a big researcher
and he read a lot about high alkaline
and they have proven that people
have healed themselves - that cancer
can’t survive in an alkaline state,”
she said. “It’s pretty much all vegetables, sunflower seeds and almonds,
grapefruit and pomegranates.”
At 34 and with family history of
breast cancer, Sarah was an unlikely
candidate for her first diagnosis.
Now she wants others to realize the
importance of self-exams and regular mammograms.
“Most of the people around me
are taking it more seriously now, but
I still hear some say they don’t even
do self- exams,” she said.
Heck yeah I’m
determined to beat it.
- Sarah Hennessy
Gillum
Sarah’s mother, Nancy Hennessy
said she thinks the medical community has been too lax when it comes
to stressing the importance of regular mammograms.
“They don’t even recommend
having a mammogram until you are
40 and some insurance companies
won’t (cover it) but every two years,”
Hennessy said. “Sarah just wants
people to make sure - she wouldn’t
have had one either (at 34), but after
she had the baby she felt something.
She was breast feeding and they initially thought her milk ducts were infected, until she had a mammogram.”
Coworkers at Z Cisco have helped
with several fundraising efforts,
including a recent bake sale and t-
The two sides in a public records
request case squared off in Sumner
County Criminal Court on Tuesday.
The case, Jakes vs. The Sumner
County Board of Education, was in
criminal court due to a conflict of
interest by Chancery Court Judge
Louis Oliver.
It came about after Joelton resident Ken Jakes emailed a request to
the school board to view and inspect
a public record and was denied.
The written policy of the school
board at the time was to require all
public records requests to be in writing.
Todd Presnell, attorney for the
school board, admitted in his opening statement the board’s policy was
not in compliance with state law,
which says a governmental body
cannot require the request to be in
writing.
“(But) our practice is...you either
have to appear in person or submit a
request in writing via the postal service,” he said. “This practice did not
require the request to be in writing
– it gives citizens options...it’s their
choice. Our actions did not violate
that statute.”
Judge Dee David Gay, who is
hearing the case, questioned some
of Presnall’s arguments.

shirts made up in her honor.
“The money has helped her pay
booth rental and living expenses,”
Hennessy said. “She has insurance
and right now they are accepting
her co-pay, but the doctors told her
the first round of chemo would be
$5,000 and week and the second
round would be $10,000 a week.”
A Facebook page called “Sarah
Strong” was started by her sister in
2013 and keeps friends and family
up to date on Sarah’s progress, as
well as any fundraising events.
“Most of our family lives in Indiana - her younger sister started it so
they would know what was going on
with Sarah,” Hennessy said.
It hasn’t been the best of times
for the family, but it’s the way Sarah
herself is handling things, that keeps
things moving forward.
“This time it has been worse she’s had mouth sores, and her scalp
was burning and her hair is coming
out again, but she never complains,”
Hennessy said.

OPINION
Uninsured drivers face new law
By JIM HAWKINS
“I had been driving for
40 years when I fell asleep
at the wheel and had an accident.”
“The indirect cause of the
accident was a little guy in a
small car with a big mouth.”
~ Actual auto insurance
claims
In January 2015, national
insurance studies showed that
Tennessee is one of the riskiest states for drivers. An estimated 1.1 million of the 5.5
million vehicles registered in
Tennessee are uninsured.
In February 2015, Rep.
William Lamberth of Sumner
County filed a bill to create the
“James Lee Atwood, Jr. Law,”
to require the State to tighten
up the financial responsibility law that requires drivers to
carry motor vehicle insurance.
Governor Bill Haslam signed
the new law on May 20, 2015.
Q. Who was James Lee
Atwood, Jr.?
On July1, 2014 an uninsured Memphis driver veered
and ran head-on into Mr. Atwood’s vehicle, killing Mr. Atwood. That uninsured driver
had been stopped by officers
earlier that same day and ticketed for driving without insurance, but police had no choice

but to let him go.
Q. What will the new
law do?
Effective July 1, 2015, the
law increases the maximum
fine for violating Tennessee’s
financial responsibility (proof
of insurance) law from $100
to $300.
Effective January 1,
2016, the law requires the creation by January 1, 2017 of
a statewide insurance verification program to track down
uninsured drivers.
Instead of waiting to catch
uninsured drivers on the road or
after an accident, the program
would generate 15-day notices
to uninsured drivers and require
proof of valid insurance, with a
$25 first fine for non-compliance.
Q. Will law enforcement have increased power to deal with uninsured
drivers?
Yes. Effective January 1,
2016, law enforcement agencies will have the discretion to
stop and tow the vehicles of
drivers cited for violation of the
financial responsibility law.
Starting in 2016, the law
increases the schedule of fines
for drivers determined to be
uninsured through the verification program. Maximum
penalties include suspension
of registration and seizure
of vehicle tags, with a $300
reinstatement fee.

Health department issues a “Just Add Water Challenge”
By HAL
HENDRICKS
You have heard
it all your life. Water is essential for
life. Water has
many health benefits. However, it
is estimated that
up to 80 percent
of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
In an effort to alter this outcome, professionals at the Sumner County Health Department are issuing a “Just Add Water Challenge”
to residents of Sumner County. This is an educational, four part informational series written to persuade individuals to drink the proper amount of water daily. In addition, health
department staff will be out and about visiting
locations across the county with information
and incentives encouraging individuals and
groups to step up and drink up.

The goal is to have individuals take
charge of their drinking habits and consume the proper amount of water that the
body requires.
Beverages other than water can help
you meet your daily water needs; nevertheless, water should make up the greater
portion of your daily fluid intake.
Many individuals are unaware that
they are dehydrated; often mistaking dehydration symptoms for hunger pains or
unaware that a lack of water is the number one trigger for daytime fatigue.
Just a mere 2 percent drop in body water
can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing
on the computer screen or on a printed page.
Proper hydration is required for
healthy blood flow, proper kidney function, proper potassium/sodium/electrolyte, and proper digestion.

Free foreclosure
mitigation program
winding down
County residents still can get free loan
modification and foreclosure prevention assistance
From STAFF REPORTS
This past June, Tennessee received its allocation
of what is anticipated to be the U.S. Congress’s last
round of funding for the National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program, which is expected wind
down in Tennessee at the end of 2015. Affordable Housing Resources, Inc., a nonprofit
serving 40 counties in Middle Tennessee, including
Sumner County, is urging residents who are struggling to pay their mortgage to seek help while the program is available.
“Through the housing crisis and the recession, the
National Foreclosure Mitigation Counseling Program
has been instrumental across the mid-state for thousands of homeowners who were at risk of losing their
home,” said Eddie Latimer, CEO of Affordable Housing Resources. “Our organization alone has helped
more than 2,120 families negotiate with their mortgage servicer to stay in their homes.”
Through the National Foreclosure Mitigation
Counseling Program, Affordable Housing Resources
works with homeowners—at no cost to them—to
defer overdue payments and restructure monthly
mortgage payments to better align with their income.
Temporary payment relief can last for as long as a
year to give the homeowner time to get on their feet,
all the way up to a permanently modified mortgage
which lasts until the mortgage is paid in full.
“The economy is improving but many are not yet
feeling those effects and need assistance. If you or
someone you know is struggling with their mortgage
payments, I strongly encourage them to seek programs that could help, while they are still supported
by Congress,” added Latimer.
Information on the assistance provided by Affordable Housing Resources can be found at www.ahrhousing.org or by calling (615) 251-0025.

OBITUARIES
LAUREN TAYLOR AGEE, age
21, left her earthly home to join
her family in heaven on July 26,
2015. We celebrate her short time
on earth as she soars high above
the clouds listening to her favorite
Drake songs through blinged out
“Dre” beats. No doubt the heavens just got a little more interesting and a lot more fun.
Lauren was born on August 19, 1993 in Biloxi, MS. Full of
sugar and a little bit of spice, she lit up every room she entered with her sweet spirit, infectious energy, enchanting
smile and disarming dimples. Simply put, she was beautiful and hilarious. She loved making those around her
laugh and sing and dance and then laugh some more with
her bubbly personality and hysterically quick wit! Lauren’s
huge heart and love for others made her everyone’s “Bestie.” She was your best friend even if she wasn’t your best
friend. She was the person you could always count on to
have your back and she never hesitated for a moment to
step in for the underdog when need be. Lauren followed
her dreams, but not always the rules. She was spontaneous, full of life and often colored outside of the lines. Music and dancing were her passions. She was a gifted dancer
and member of the award winning Hendersonville High
Golden Girls dance team for four years and received a
dance scholarship to Bethel University. She had recently
transferred to Vol State to study criminal justice. Second
only to her family and friends, was her love for animals.
She never met an animal that didn’t immediately fall in
love with her, or likewise her with them. The tragic death
of Lauren Taylor Agee has touched the lives of so many.
She is survived by her #1 fan and mother Sherry Anderson Smith; father Brian Agee; stepfather Michael Smith;
beloved sisters, Alison Bivens, Jordan Smith; brother
Joshua Smith; adoring grandmother, Violet Balerezo Anderson; grandfather, James Edward Anderson III; grandfather James Agee, and preceded in death by her loving
grandmother, Charlotte Agee; Stephen Anderson, uncle,
Stennis and Paula Smith, step-grandparents; along with
many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and hundreds of
“Besties.” Fly high sweet Lauren - thank you for reminding us all to breathe. Your love, your big heart, your smile
and most of all your laughter, will never be forgotten; now

Mystery surrounds death
Making a deal with the devil; why we of Hendersonville woman
COLUMN
must reject Iran nuclear agreement
By SHERRY MITCHELL
By CONGRESSMAN
DIANE BLACK
On July 14, Iranians took to the streets
of Tehran to celebrate.
And for good reason.
The President of Iran,
Hassan Rouhani, had
just duped the United
States into a deal that will allow his country to continue its uranium enrichment
program, sponsor proxy wars in the region,
all the while removing billions of dollars’
worth of sanctions.
Unfortunately, the United States and
the rest of the free world have nothing to
cheer about. With his political legacy in
mind, the President signed off on this nuclear agreement with the world’s leading
state sponsor of terrorism – laying the
foundation for Iran’s path towards obtaining nuclear weapons. As Israel’s Education Minister Naftali Bennett said after
the plan’s details were released, “Today a
terrorist nuclear superpower is born, and
it will go down as one of the darkest days
in world history.”
Prior to the completion of the deal, I
joined more than 350 of my colleagues in
sending President Obama a letter warning him not to accept an agreement that
leaves Iran with any opportunity to obtain
nuclear weapons. However, the Administration chose to settle for “containing”
Iran rather than demanding that the regime dismantle its nuclear program. Consequently, President Obama has opened
the door for Iran to become a nuclear and
dominant power in the region, threatening America’s national security and the
safety of one of our closest allies, Israel.
With Iran’s record of deception and
involvement in illicit activities, any agreement reached with the rogue nation must
be grounded in complete transparency
and verification that it is has dismantled
its nuclear infrastructure so that it has no
opportunity to develop nuclear weapons.
However, the deal meets neither of these
criteria.
Instead, the agreement reached by the
Obama Administration will allow Iran to
continue uranium enrichment and nuclear research development programs, with
the restrictions on these activities beginning to sunset after eight years. It would
also forbid American weapons inspectors
from entering Iranian nuclear sites, only
permitting inspectors from countries with
normal diplomatic relations with Iran.
The deal lifts $140 billion worth of
sanctions, allowing Iran to continue financing terrorist activities and removing
our key leverage over the Iranian regime.
Finally, the deal gives Iran’s military access
to new weapons, releasing Tehran from
ballistic missile sanctions and an arms embargo imposed by the United Nations Security Council. Instead of “peace through
strength” this agreement amounts to “unrest through appeasement.”
Earlier this year Congress passed
the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act,
which allows Congress to vote on a Joint
Resolution of Disapproval before sanctions
against Iran are lifted. If Congress overrides
a presidential veto of the bill, then the current sanctions will remain in place. No deal
is better than a bad deal, which is why I will
adamantly oppose the deal when it comes
before the House floor for a vote.
As Congress prepares to vote on the
Iran deal, I call on my colleagues to think
about what they want the world to look
like in a decade. Under this agreement,
ten years from now the world’s greatest
state sponsor of terror will have a nuclear
program legitimized by the international
community with the ability to quickly
build a bomb. Ten years is but a blink of an
eye in world history, but one armed rogue
nation can cause lasting devastation.

A 21-year-old Hendersonville woman,
who was camping with friends over the

The body of Lauren Taylor Agee, a graduate of Hendersonville High School, was
pulled from Center Hill Lake in DeKalb
County after 4 p.m.
Agee was reportedly camping with
friends while attending Wakefest - a wakeboarding tournament - and the campsite
was very near the edge of a large cliff.
“The Hendersonville woman’s body was
found Sunday afternoon by a fisherman on
Center Hill Lake near the Still Point Boat
Ramp across from Pates Ford Marina,”
DeKalb Co Sheriff Patrick Ray, said. “She
was last seen alive Saturday night.” Ray said although no foul play is sus-

To see the best in classic cars, visit the Cruise-In, held every Friday night at
the Streets of Indian Lake. Photos by Ginger McClendon.
The Craft Fair and Flea Market held at the Beech Lodge #240 was a big success.
By SHERRY MITCHELL
Locals enjoyed a fun-filled
weekend last week; choosing from
a variety of different activities
across the city.
On Friday night, the Hendersonville Cruise-In kicked off to a
good crowd at The Streets of Indian
Lake. Visitors came to check out
the array of classic cars on display.
The event is held every Friday night
through October from 6 to 9 p.m.
On Saturday, the “Streets” was
also a top venue as host of the
weekly Hendersonville Farmer’s
Market. From some of the freshest locally-grown produce, to fresh
poultry, the outdoor market is
held each Saturday from 9 a.m.
Last week’s Movie in the Park feature was “Frozen.”
Held at the Streets of Indian Lake each Saturday, the Hendersonville Farmer’s Market
offers an array of fresh produce.
to 2 p.m. In addition, on the last

On Saturday, the Craft Fair
and Flea Market held at the Beech

Letter to the editor
Resident speaks out against Planned Parenthood
Recently a senior Planned Parenthood official
was caught on tape callously discussing ways to
manipulate the abortion procedure to preserve
saleable parts of the baby. The entire unedited
three hours tape is available online for those who
can stomach it. I recently sat in the courtroom for
two hours to hear arguments regarding physician
assisted suicide. In the tape, medical terms were
used without emotion by the doctor who thought
she was talking to two potential customers. In the
courtroom, words were carefully chosen to evoke
emotion and make the sale to the judge and public. In both cases the word choice was the key word
used to make the sale. Will we again be swayed
with emotional words by the culture of death to
hide the callous fact that right to die soon becomes
the duty to die? Will we be hanging our head in
shame 43 years from now, asking how we became
so callous a nation?

Rock Castle: An Art Gallery
By JULIE WHITE
On July 18, something new happened
at Historic Rock Castle… an Art Show!
The first of its kind, the show featured the
talents of local, well-known artist Dick Elliott, as well as Grace Guthrie. And what a
show it was.
With over 100 in attendance, it was
discovered in conversations that many of
those in attendance had never been to Rock
Castle, or knew very little of its historical
significance to the State of Tennessee, and
Sumner County. Both artists spoke with
many who said they would be back for a
tour to learn more about the castle.
Elliott said it was a great event and was
very pleased with the results. He said the
staff at Rock Castle was on hand to help
out, and he learned a lot himself. There
were some in attendance whom he knew,
but many he had never met, which he said
was, “Very exciting for just the two of us.”
He also noted how Guthrie interacted
so well with the attendees, most likely because, “She never meets a stranger, so I
suspect many of those in attendance were
there to see her work, which is pleasing to
me.”
His goal was not to get back into the
business, but rather to expose her work as
much as possible.
Seeing her artwork on display, Guthrie was in awe. The knowledge she had
about the family that inspired the building,
Dick Elliot and Grace Guthrie with one of her
many paintings recently on display at Rock
Castle. Photos submitted.
Event organizer, Mike Fussell with wife
Beverly, and Paul R. Goode, president of the
Hendersonville Chamber of Commerce.
the man, woman and all the children - she
couldn’t believe that her art was actually
sitting in such a reverent place. Her hope is
that her show will inspire others to step out
on faith and live out their dreams.
Her thoughts on the show - “It was
magical,” she said. “I do not feel all that
special… the art I have created is just that.
I know my capabilities, and I believe the
spirit of God is working through me. I still
cannot even draw a stick figure! So, please
tell me, if I can’t do that, then how can I
create this art? It has to be God.”
Guthrie said she is like, “A bad singer
on a karaoke machine, singing way off key,
and I’m ok with it! The paintings themselves are not that important to me, but the
inspiration is. I am fearless; I do not worry
about what people think and don’t want to
be admired; I only care what God thinks.”
She plans to continue her lessons with
Elliot, as they are ‘stuck like glue’ to each
other for the rest of their lives. While there
are no guarantees in life, they will continue
their friendship until such time as they can
no longer do so. What began as art lessons,
has opened her eyes to how ‘blind’ she was.
Guthrie plans to begin writing her third and
final book soon. There is no doubt that she
will write it with an open mind, heart and
eyes.
According to Allie Hoskins, museum
services manager, “Since we had such a
positive turnout for this first-ever art show,
we’d like to gauge the community to see
what other types of free community events
we can host and we are exploring the possibility of more showcases such as this.
“With staff present to help monitor the
house, art was set up in the Daniel Smith
study; Sara Smith’s master bedroom and
two upstairs rooms: the history room and
George Smith’s (Daniel’s son) bedroom.”
Overall, it was a wonderful event, and
a great way to showcase the castle to the
public.
To give a little history, Hoskins said,
“Due to his service in the Revolutionary
War as a general and his surveying work,
Daniel Smith was paid in a land grant of
3,140 acres from the State of North Carolina. The construction of the house was in
three phases on a portion of the land next
to Drake’s Creek, a Cumberland River tributary, in the South Cumberland area now
known as Sumner County, Tennessee.
“He moved here due to the land grant
and contracted work with the State of
North Carolina, because technically, his
property was located in North Carolina. In
post-Revolutionary War 1783, the State of
North Carolina extended from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean.
“In 1784, Smith strikes out to begin
serving his new state in one of the 13 colonies, which become the first 13 states. He
immediately began to set boundaries in
‘Tenassee,’ later to be known as ‘Tennessee,’ and it took 12 years to complete his
surveying, which ironically is the year we
became a state, in 1796, at which time he
comes home to Rock Castle where he begins to form a local government, helping to
write the State Constitution and other laws.
Smith Later retired in 1809, and died nine
years later in 1818.”
Rock Castle is owned by the State
of Tennessee, so political functions are
strictly prohibited. However, the grounds
are open to private events such as weddings, reunions, corporate parties, business luncheons and the like. Rock Castle
hosts events, many of which are free, such
as monthly Songwriter’s nights beginning
in March (the next one is Aug. 15) at the
pavilion; Community Easter Egg Hunts;
Sumner Harvesting; Frontier Camps for
ages 9 to12; Christmas Open House; and
even field trip opportunities during the
school year. For more information on private and community events, please contact
the museum services manager at info@historicrockcastle.com. If you’d like to learn
more about Historic Rock Castle, stop by
the visitors center, take a guided tour, buy
tickets to future events, or sign up to be a
volunteer.

TIPS TO BOOST YOUR FAMILY’S ENERGY
FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL SEASON
It’s time to gear up for a new school year.
That means buying supplies and clothes,
coordinating schedules, and adjusting to
new routines.
All the preparations can leave you feeling drained, but with the proper fuel you
can ensure your family has the energy
needed to ace each day.
MEAL PLAN
Kick off the year by creating a meal plan,
which will help you stay organized, maintain
a good diet and avoid repeat trips to the store.
To simplify shopping and preparation, put
together a list of favorite meals and snacks;
then group according to common ingredients. Use a dry erase calendar, spreadsheet or
online template to plot out menus one week
at a time. Then, draft a grocery list and stick
to it. This will help you pass up the chips and
cookies for more energy-boosting options.
When you arrive home, immediately
wash and prep produce for the week to
make it that much easier to make nutritious meals all week long.
START THE DAY OFF RIGHT
Wholesome breakfasts provide a pickme-up in the morning and throughout the
day. Squeeze some oranges for fresh juice
and a vitamin C boost. You can make a
pitcher each weekend to last several days.
Serve with homemade granola bars for a
satisfying start to the day.
Smoothies are another easy breakfast.
Whip up personalized flavors for each
family member using the pre-set Smoothie and Power Blends programs on a Vitamix S50. This personal blender’s 20-ounce
container becomes a good travel cup for
school or work. Freeze a variety of individual servings of fruit and vegetable combinations into zip-top bags, blend with yogurt, milk or juice, and head out the door.
Or use the machine’s 40-ounce container
to make larger batches for the family to
enjoy together. A nourishing smoothie
provides the fuel necessary for a productive start to the day.
MID-DAY MOTIVATION
Prep power-packed lunches for school and
work by including protein, fruits, and vegetables in an assortment of tastes and textures.
You can use a premium blender to quickly
prepare all kinds of dips and nut butters. Try
homemade hummus with cucumber slices and
carrot sticks and a side of strawberries and
grapes. Or create fun finger foods, such as a
peanut butter and apple wrap, or ants on a log
-- almond butter and raisins on a celery stick.
Remember to stay hydrated. Water is
fuel, and even mild dehydration can slow
down body systems, resulting in fatigue.
Carry a large container of water to drink
throughout the day.
DINNER DELIGHT
Continue beneficial eating habits at
dinner. Add extra vegetables to your menu
with a squash cheese sauce for a new take
on whole wheat macaroni and cheese. Or
bake a wholesome pizza using fresh pesto
or a white bean purée as the sauce.
Instead of hitting the couch after dinner, complement healthful eating by taking
a walk with your family. Exercise provides a
natural endorphin boost, giving you extra
motivation to maintain healthy habits.
With a little planning, a busy schedule
won’t be an excuse for bad habits.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL ORGANIZATION TIPS
FOR A SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL YEAR
When the school year begins, students need to quickly get back into
the swing of things. Staying organized
from day one can ease the transition.
While every individual needs to
tweak his or her routine to best suit personality quirks and study habits, here
are a few tried-and-true organization
tricks that will work for most anyone:
GET SCHEDULED
While the word “bedtime” may
have no meaning on summer vacation, during the school year, it’s vital.
A regular sleep schedule can mean
better quality sleep and higher alertness at school. Likewise, a morning
routine can help students focus and
prep for the day.
Family members should share
their schedules with each other to
ensure everyone gets to practice, club
meetings and other activities on time.
Install a household calendar or bulletin board in a central location to ensure everyone stays in the know.
STOMP OUT CLUTTER
Lockers and backpacks need to
stay organized. Whether notebooks,
binders and textbooks are arranged
by sequence of the day, subject or
color isn’t important so long as the
system works for you. To create more
storage space in your locker, add durable, stackable locker shelving.
For on-the-go book hauling, look
for a backpack such as the Five Star
Expandable Backpack that features
two expanding compartments providing additional space, along with pro-
tected storage for laptops.
Its patented zipper allows you to
quickly get inside your backpack while
it’s hanging in your locker. Ergonomic
patent-pending straps distribute weight
to comfortably support a heavy load.
To cheer up your locker with a
boost of color and add a place for
quick reminders and mementos, try
the Five Star Magnetic Mirror + Push
Pin Board. Its slam-resistant magnets
will keep it affixed to the inside door
of your locker. There isn’t much time
between classes, so a mirror is a welcome locker feature when there isn’t
time for the bathroom.
Organizational tools such as these
can keep your ducks in a row all year
long. Also remember to set time aside
weekly to clean out your locker and
backpack, throwing out candy wrappers and crumpled notes.
PERSONAL ORGANIZATION
Students need to be able to keep
more belongings than ever with them
throughout the day -- traditional
school supplies, paperwork, flash
drives, calculators and other electronics. A binder that can contain it all will
give students a chance to make sure
their lives are in order, not just a class
at a time. For a secure method of carrying supplies, look for the Trapper
Keeper Zipper binder, with pockets
and dividers to keep items organized,
and the Five Star Zipper Binder + Expansion Pocket, which features storage for textbooks and a tablet, and has
an adjustable strap that allows you to
To make smart school
lunches, think like a kid
carry the binder messenger style or on
your back.
At home, it’s easy to get distracted
from important tasks like studying and
homework. Create a dedicated work space
away from televisions and other distractions. Make sure the area is comfortable,
well-lit and conducive to great work.

found at www.Mead.com.
The right tools and habits can empower students for a successful and
organized school year.

Making school lunch can feel like a thankless job,
but it doesn’t have to be a major chore. Here are some
ways to make school lunches successful, not stressful:
DON’T OVER-PACK
Does your child come home with untouched food?
For a distracted youngster, lunchtime flies by in an instant. By the time the bell rings, little Suzie has barely
peeled the top off her yogurt. Keep portions kid-sized
and don’t include more than four or five items in the
lunchbox.
THINK FOOD GROUPS
Think of the lunchbox as a four-piece puzzle. The basic
components are protein, grain, fruit/vegetable and dairy.
Try making lunch kebobs with cold cut slices and
chunks of cheese (your dairy and protein groups), add a
handful of grapes (fruit) and a bagful of popcorn (grain).
Or pack hummus, carrots and wheat pita (protein, grain
and veggie), along with applesauce (fruit) and a cheese
stick (dairy). Olives or pickles add extra flavor without
too much extra fat or calories.
LET THEM ASSEMBLE
Pack individual ingredients kids can assemble, which
makes them feel like they’re more in control of what they
eat. For example, include a half bagel with a container
of shredded mozzarella, tomato sauce and some sliced
olives or pepperoni slices so they can make their own
pizza. Add a piece of fruit to round out the meal.
PICK PORTABLE FOODS
Nothing’s worse than a lunchbox explosion. Whenever possible, opt for dry foods and tight lids. Pack trail
mix, dried fruit, granola bars or snacks in single-serve
cups, such as Pearls Olives to Go- black ripe pitted or
sliced olives. Such foods usually have the added advantage of not spoiling, which means they can be saved for
afternoon snacking.
KEEP SNACKS IN THE CAR
Kids always seem to want an afterschool snack. If home
is a bit of a drive, keep snacks on hand. Nuts, trail mix, single-serve olive cups and fruit are better options for a ravenous child. Keep in mind, hungry kids are more likely to try
novel foods they might otherwise be reluctant to try.
GET INPUT
If your child is not eating enough, find out why. Ask
your child to create a list of foods every few months, as
tastes change and broaden. Add favorites to the rotation.
Remember, just because your child eats a certain food at
dinnertime doesn’t mean it will be a popular lunch item.
GET CUTE
If you’re feeling ambitious, cut sandwiches into
shapes. Sliced cherry tomatoes or olives make easy
eyes, buttons and mouths. A simple post-it note with a
smiley face or “love you” will go a long way to brightening your child’s day.

lunch box promotion for a chance to win prizes, visit

Lunch isn’t rocket science, but creating meals children will love every day can get tricky. Simple strategies
can help ensure kids return from school with empty
lunch boxes and satisfied tummies.

Tips to supplement
kids’ learning at home
There’s no reason that learning should
stop once the bell rings. When concepts
are reinforced at home, not only do children learn faster, they are better prepared to excel in school.
Whether your children are in preschool or are already in grade school,
there are many bright ideas out there
that can give kids an extra academic edge:
EXPLORE YOUR WORLD
Your world is a classroom that can
provide an abundance of lesson plans.
Start in your own home by exploring key
concepts around the house. From using
measuring cups in the kitchen to identifying shapes in the playroom, there are
lessons to be learned in every room.
The new “Get Ready for School” series by
DK includes “I’m Ready for School,” an interactive book that helps toddlers practice colors, numbers and more. Proceeds from the
book series support PBS KIDS, which uses
the power of media to help prepare children
for success in school and in life.
Once you’ve mastered the house, take
the show on the road. Visit museums, the
aquarium or even the park around the
block for learning opportunities.
PLAY GAMES
Encourage the idea that learning is
fun by introducing educational games
into your child’s daily routine. Games
are a great way to make lessons stick and
help a child grasp new ideas.
Check out “Get Ready for School
Games: Number Memory,” a math card
game that show numbers 1-10 arranged
in set order with everyday objects and
number words to help toddlers practice
adding and taking away up to 10, sharing,
and grouping. It’s an easy-to-understand
visual approach to real-life problem-solving. A companion game, “Color Match,”
introduces kids to words and colors with
timed memory challenges and activities.
Also consider “The Incredible Math
Games Book,” which blurs the lines between practicing math and play. With interactive games like “Find the Fraction,”
“Subtraction Action,” and Dancing Dice,”
kids can learn key math concepts minus
the homework.
WRITE A STORY
Help your budding writer find her literary voice by encouraging her to write fictional stories or report on “news” events
from around the neighborhood for the
house newspaper. Make sure she is wellequipped to handle her writing assignments with the help of a classic reference
tool, DK’s Merriam-Webster Children’s
Dictionary -- now updated and revised to
include modern words like “smartphone,”
“MP3” and “graphic novel,” as well as new
countries, borders, flags and cities.
MUSIC LESSONS
Round out your child’s education with
music lessons, which can improve motor
skills, build self-confidence and help impart cultural values. Many music stores
rent instruments, which can be a low commitment way to test out your child’s interest. Check out options for lessons in your
area or even just find free tutorials online.
When the school day is over, don’t let
young minds go on strike. Through activities, music and even games, you can
make stress-free learning happen roundthe-clock.

WHY PAY SALES TAX?
Do your back-to-school shopping on tax-free weekend, Aug.7-9
By SHERRY MITCHELL
Sumner students will be back in session
Aug. 10 and for parents, that means purchasing new school clothes and supplies.
But back-to-schools shopping doesn’t
have to break the bank. The state’s tax-free
weekend is coming up starting Friday, Aug. 7 at
12:01 a.m. and running
through Sunday, Aug.
9 until 11:59 p.m.
During this threeday period, parents
can purchase school
and art supplies, clothing
and computers at a nearly
10 percent savings.
“This holiday offers
Tennesseans great savings on important backto-school items, and
I
encourage everyone to take advan-
tage of this opportunity,” Gov. Bill Haslam said.
Clothing and school supplies that are $100
or less per item qualify for the savings, as do
computers with a price tag of $1,500 or less.
“We hope Tennessee shoppers will take advantage of the tax relief offered by this year’s
sales tax
holiday,” Revenue Commissioner Richard Roberts said.
It’s not just students
who can get a price break
during tax-free shopping
weekend. All clothing for
both children and adults
is included in the tax-free
exemption.
In addition to the tax
savings, many local retailers will also be offering
deep discounts on qualified items; stretching the
back-to-school
shopping
dollar even further.

New technologies
are boosting
students’ grades
Picture a college student studying for
an upcoming exam. If you’re envisioning
her surrounded by marked-up textbooks,
you probably aren’t a recent graduate.
These days, you’re just as likely to see
the student with a tablet, smartphone or
laptop taking advantage of digital course
materials -- and student grades appear to
be rising as a result.
New digital platforms are making a
difference for students who have access
to them. Students using a digital learning
platform increased their grades by one full
letter, with more B students getting As, and
more C students getting Bs, during an independent study of more than 700 students
at six institutions, which was conducted by
a member organization of the Association
of American Publishers (AAP).
Community college students participating in the study saw their graduation
rates improve by 12.5 percent. A different
independent study of another learning
platform by another AAP member found
that students using only the textbook
improved 51 percent, while students who
used both the textbook and the digital
learning platform improved 79 percent.
Indeed, a digital learning revolution
is well underway in colleges and universities across America -- and the benefits
are even extending to student and parent
pocketbooks.
Though the cost of college tuition has
been steadily rising, the student cost of
coursework has stayed flat. The money
saved by shifting from print to interactive digital platforms in the classroom
can be as much as 60 percent.
“For more than 10 years, publishers
have been redefining the concept of text-
books and course materials through content and technology innovations,” says
David E. Anderson, Executive Director of
Higher Education with the AAP. “Interactive materials can now be used on virtually any device, including a laptop, tablet
or smartphone, making it easy for students to study whenever and wherever
they like.”
Digital learning materials have
evolved way beyond their origins as a
simple PDF copy of a textbook. These
advanced educational platforms now include quizzes, tests and games to help
better engage students in their coursework and in the classroom. The learning
experience, in turn, has become less static and more interactive.
Beyond making learning more engaging, the materials are helping customize
the learning experience for each student.
The latest materials use artificial intelligence to focus on those areas where individual students need the most attention.
Professors can employ real-time
monitoring to determine how individual students and whole classes perform,
adjusting their lessons to better meet
the needs of the class. They can also use
these programs to communicate directly
with specific students or with the entire
class, making introductory-level classes
-- which often have hundreds of students
-- more personalized in ways that weren’t
possible in the past.
Lower-cost digital course material
options can add up to convenience, cost
savings and better graduation rates for
students. That’s a valuable lesson being
learned by today’s college students.

Meet Brownie and Rusty
Brownie
Rusty is a small blonde male Terrier Chihuahua
mix. He is thought to be 7 to 9- years-old. Since he was
abandoned at the shelter overnight, we don’t have any
background on him, but is very social, super friendly and
seems to like everyone he meets. He loves the volunteers
who play and walk him. He is fully vaccinated, negative
for heartworms, neutered and dewormed. He also seems
fully housebroken as well. Rusty will need to be an inside
member of the family with outside privileges.
Brownie is a 9-month-old female Lab and possibly
Poodle mix. She is very playful, has tons of energy and
still needs basic training. She loves everyone and will
need an active family and fenced yard to play in. Not sure
about house training, but should be able to train with
someone who has time. Spayed, fully vaccinated and dewormed. Tested positive for heartworms, but lab results
were negative and will need to be retested in six to eight
months. Brownie will need to be an inside pet with outside privileges
If you have any questions, please contact our shelter

Fall practice has arrived

Monday morning marked
the first official day of high
school football practice. The
familiar
yet
long-awaited
sound of helmets clashing, feet
chopping, pads popping and
whistles blowing echoed across
practice fields throughout the
county as each team began
their march toward their dream
of claiming a state title.
Locally, Gallatin, Hendersonville, Station Camp and
Beech each made their debuts.
The Bison were missing a
number of their players – 27 in
total - due to paperwork issues.
Nevertheless, the team began
their fall practice on their own
campus. For the past several
seasons, the Bison have gone
to Camp Nacome in Hickman
County.
Station Camp, who begins their season on the road
against Clarksville August 21,
will get their first taste of live
action against an opponent
other than themselves on
Thursday as they have a scheduled practice day against Mt.
Juliet starting at 6 p.m.
Gallatin hosted two separate sessions on Monday and
has done so throughout the
week. The earlier sessions,
which have begun at 7 a.m.,
consist of teamwork with emphasis on both offense and
defense. The second session,
A break to the outside.
which begins around 9:30, focuses on special teams.
Gallatin will host Shelbyville
on Thursday beginning at 6
p.m. Gallatin kicks off their
season in what is now a nondistrict contest against Mt. Juliet on August 21.
Beech took the field with
what will more than likely be
one of the fastest teams in
Sumner County. Athletes dotted the dew-laden practice field
as the Buccaneers began their
preseason activities.
Beech
concluded their season in heartbreaking fashion a year ago with
a 42-41 overtime loss in the second round of the TSSAA 5-A
state playoffs to Shelbyville.
Beech hosts Brentwood in
their first scrimmage of the fall
on Thursday at Shackle Island
Stadium. Action against the
Bruins is set to begin at 6 p.m.
The Bucs will open their 2015
season on the road against
non-region opponent, Wilson
Central, on August 21.
Hendersonville, along with
their middle school counterpart Ellis, was on the practice
field early this week. The Commandos, who finished 10-1 a
season ago, field a team that
has experience at nearly all of
their skill positions. The one
question mark surrounding the
Commandos in 2015 will be
how they will perform in the
trenches.
With that in mind, the Com-

mandos have spent a considerable amount of time working
on their ability to both block
and shed blocks. One-on-one
drills, (Oklahoma Drills) were
evident as the Commandos began their practices.
Hendersonville will take on
Antioch High School on July 31.
The time of the meeting with
the Bears has not been set. The
Commandos are slotted for two
additional scrimmages before
their Jamboree night on Aug.
14. Hendersonville will travel
to Clarksville Northeast on Aug.
7 and White House on Aug 11.
The Commandos will begin
the regular season at home
against McGavock on August
21.

GOODLETTSVILLE—(Gallatin lede)
The Gallatin American Legion 11 year
old All-Stars battled for four consecutive
nights, but on their final night, they simply
ran out of steam.
Along the way, Gallatin cheered as Tanner Park crushed a walk-off grand slam to
advance to the second round, survived with
a come-from-behind effort against Lexing-
ton in the quarterfinals and ran away with
a semifinal win over Johnson City. Last
Thursday, that all came to a close as they
ran into perennial power Goodlettsville and
fell 17-2 in the state championship game.
(Hendersonville Standard lede) The
Goodlettsville 11 year old All-Stars entered
the season with several goals in mind. One
of those was a state title. They accomplished
that in a big way in the championship game
as they rolled to a 17-2 win over Gallatin.
Goodlettsville wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard.
Leadoff batter Tanner Jones found his
way on base on a Gallatin error. A passed
ball later, Carson Rucker knocked in the
first run of the game with an RBI double.
A wild pitch plated another run; moving
Goodlettsville out in front, 2-0. Ethan
Jackson followed with a RBI and Tyler
Robertson got two more to put Goodlettsville comfortably out in front, 5-0 after the
opening half of the first inning.
Gallatin attempted to close the gap in
the bottom of the inning. After Tanner
Park drew a full count leadoff walk, Trevor Alexander reached on a fielder’s choice.
An infield single by W.A. Douglas placed
runners on the corners with one away. A
wild pitch allowed Alexander to score from
third to cut the lead to 5-1. It was the closest the Gallatin squad would come throughout the remainder of the game.
Goodlettsville scored two additional
runs in the second inning before Gallatin
made a change on the mound. Eli Siltman
entered to replace Jacob Powell. Goodlettsville scored again on an RBI single by
Isaiah Page to move out in front, 8-1.
Siltman got on base on a fielder’s choice
in the second inning and he was joined on
the bags by Powell and Marcus Brown,
who both showed considerable patience at
the plate by drawing walks. With the bases loaded, Goodlettsville starting pitcher
Zach McWilliams found his groove and
managed two consecutive strikeouts of
Park and Alexander to douse the scoring

threat and conclude the inning.
Goodlettsville scored nine more runs
in the third inning to put the game away.
Brock Duffer, Braden Kelly and Rucker
each recorded two RBIs in the inning.
Jones and McWilliams knocked in runs
with singles as well.
Park brought home Gallatin’s other run
when his RBI single scored James Willbanks, who earned a leadoff walk in the
inning.
Goodlettsville will now play in the Tournament of State Champions held in Greeneville, South Carolina starting on August 1.
Neal prepares for final season at OVC media day
By ADAM BROWN
It wasn’t that long ago that Jarod Neal
was leading the Beech Buccaneers football
team to a state championship. Now as he
enters his final season of collegiate play, the
UT Martin quarterback has more lofty goals
in mind.
“We have expectations to win a conference championship,” Neal said. “I think that
we have a really good chance at doing that.
We want to make the playoffs.”
Neal was picked as one of only two members of the Skyhawks football team to speak
to media at the Ohio Valley Conference Media Day held last week at the Holiday Inn in
Nashville.
“It was a pretty cool experience,” Neal said.
“We talked to a lot of different media outlets.
It was definitely a different experience.”
Neal joined Deantae Glover (Riverdale
HS) at the media day.
“The entire day really made me realize
that this is my last year,” Neal said. “This is
last time. You want to go out by making a big
splash.”
Neal said that he would like to continue
playing for as long as he can but knows that
football will someday come to an end.
“I want to continue for as long as I have
the opportunity to,” Neal said. “But at the
end of the day, when football is over, having a
college education is really what it is all about.
You just hope that you have made the right
choices along the way. That’s really all you
can do.”
Neal, who is the son of Beech baseball
head coach Jimmy Neal, said that when his
football career ends, coming back to coach
alongside his father is something that he has
been looking forward to doing for quite some
time.
“I would love to be able to coach and help
kids reach their goals,” Neal said. “I would
love to share my experience and help them to
get to where I was in life.”
Neal played in all 12 games for UT Martin
a season ago and started 11 of those at quarterback. Neal completed 158-of-249 passes
for 1,880 years and threw for 14 touchdowns.
Neal finished sixth nationally in total yards
per game. Neal has thrown for 3,409 yards
as the Skyhawks signal caller.

Jenkins inks second contract, holds third annual camp
By ADAM BROWN
During his third annual camp, Jenkins had more than 50 attendees. Photos by Adam Brown

As the ink dried on John Jenkins’ second
National Basketball Association contract, the
former Vanderbilt and Station Camp star was in
a very familiar place.
Last week, as the 24-year old Jenkins finalized a three-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks,
his 3rd annual basketball camp went off without
a hitch.
“Each year this camp is growing,” the former
first round draft pick said. “Kids in this area
want to get better. It is good to have that competition.”
More than 50 campers were in attendance
for the three day camp. Ranging in age from
5-to-15, campers were directed by Jenkins as
well as Station Camp head basketball coach Seth
Massey and his staff and Station Camp Middle
School head coach Jeremy Bartlett in a vast
array of shooting, dribbling and defensive drills.
Even former Vanderbilt classmate and longtime friend Wesley Tate was in attendance
for the event. Tate, a former football standout
at both Vanderbilt and Pope John Paul II High
School, is a longtime friend of Jenkins.
“I think that it is important to have those
guys to come around,” Jenkins said. “It is good
for the campers to see some other guys from
this area that have gone off and done big things.
They have been able to see what hard work and
dedication to a sport can do for them.”
Jenkins implemented a more rigorous camp
this year.
“We made the camp harder this year. We
wanted to give the kids a different experience
this year. We want to get them playing at a different level,” Jenkins said. “We took some things
that I was doing in college and applied it to the
camp. We want to increase the skill level; that
was the motivation for this year’s camp.”
Most of the camp’s attendees have participated in each of Jenkins’ prior two camps. Jenkins noted their improvement from years past to
now.
“It is incredible to see the skill level of these
campers increase over the course of a few years,”
Jenkins said. “I know most of their brothers and
sisters. I went to school with them. It is good to
see them. Some couldn’t even get the ball to the
rim a year ago. Now they are swishing threes.
I am really watching them grow before my eyes.
That’s pretty cool.”
In addition to drills, campers were addressed
by Jenkins and his special guest speaker, Patrick Walker Reese. Reese works as a motivational speaker in the greater Middle Tennessee
area.
“I wanted to bring in a guest speaker; someone different than myself to talk to the campers,”
Jenkins said. “He delivers a great message and I
wanted the kids to experience that.”
After the camp concluded, Jenkins was set to
fly to Dallas to meet his new team and tour the
city as well as the Mavs facilities.
“I am leaving tonight, (Thursday). I will have
my physical tomorrow. I will have to familiarize
myself with Dallas. I don’t know a lot about it,
but I hear it’s a great city. I am excited about the
opportunity.”

Knights begin fall practice with road trip
Pictured are the members of the Pope John Paul II High School football Knights
after their second day at Camp Agape in East Tennessee. Photo courtesy of Twitter
By ADAM BROWN
The beginning of fall practice
kicked off on Monday but the
Pope John Paul II football Knights
were nowhere to be found.
That’s because for the first
time, they were in Benton, Tennessee at Camp Agape. Prior to leaving for camp, first year Knights
head coach Justin Geisinger said,
“We are geared up for camp. This
will be the first time in the school’s
history that we have gone some-
where for a team based camp.”
Camp Agape is a Christianbased camp will host the Knights
for three days. With 94 kids expected to be in-tow, Geisinger
said that the camp should be one
of the most memorable experiences in their high school careers.
“I went to one of these type
camps when I was in high school,”
Geisinger said. “I can still remember those days spent there. I hope
that our kids have a similar experience.”
Though the Knights’ coaching
staff would like for the camp to be
memorable, Geisinger said that
it will not be a cake-walk for his
players. Wake up calls on day two
of the camp began at 5:14 a.m.
“We are going to work our players,” Geisinger said. “It is not going to be easy but that is the only
way that we are going to get better
as a football team. I am sure that
some may think that they are better off not on this football team.”
Even if one, or even several
players decided to call it quits, they
will have to do so after the camp is
completed. Players will not be allowed to use cell phones so a phone
call home would be highly unlikely.
“We want this camp to be a
time where we come together as
a football team,” Geisinger. “We
can’t begin to do that if we are
worried about what is happening
on our timelines.”
Upon returning to Hendersonville, the Knights will host their
picture day on Thursday day be-
fore hosting their first scrimmage.
West Creek and Franklin Road
Academy will visit JPII’s campus
on Friday for a three-way scrimmage slotted to begin at 6 p.m.
JPII will host Maplewood on
August 4 beginning at 4 p.m. and
CPA on Aug. 7 at 5 p.m. JPII will
travel to Portland on August 11
before travelling to Marshall Co.
on August 14 for a jamboree.
The Knights begin their season
on August 21 against Memphis

JPII and Jay Cutler team
up to sack Type-1 diabetes

School Musical”

camp held at JPII to benefit the Jay Cutler Foundation. Photo courtesy of Facebook
By ADAM BROWN
Former Vanderbilt and current Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler recently held a one-day camp to benefit
athletes diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes. Held on the campus of Pope John
Paul II High School, the camp hosted
members with all proceeds earmarked
to benefit The Jay Cutler Foundation,
which was started in 2009.
First year Knights head football
coach Justin Geisinger said the camp
was a good experience.
“The camp was great,” Geisinger said.
“I was contacted by Jay personally. They
were looking for a place and we were
happy to help.
“I had reached out to Jay back when
I was appointed to my current position
and we wanted to get something like
this camp going then,” Geisinger added.
“Timing was an issue then. His only
available time was during our mandated
dead period. It didn’t work out then but
we were more than happy to help out
with a facility for his camp.”
Of the 55 kids in attendance, most
have been diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes. Campers ranged in age from 7-15
years old and were split into three age
groups. Each camper was given the
opportunity to participate in multiple
football activities including flag football,
passing drills and the 40-yard run.
“Jay usually keeps things small,”
Geisinger said. “He wants to go around
individually and see all the kids. We
wanted to spend some time with them.
Jay was able to interact with those guys
and provide a little inspiration.”
In addition to the campers, JPII had
several members of its current team on
hand for the camp.
“We had some kids out here and they
got some pretty good pointers from
Jay,” Geisinger said. “Our players look
up to guys like Jay. They do the right
things. People like Jay are good for any
community.”
Though the camp certainly had its
roots in serving those with Type-1 diabetes, Geisinger said that it served a
dual purpose as well. Since both were
members of the Vanderbilt Commodores for a period of time together, the
camp also served a bit of a reunion for
the two former teammates.
“It was good to get back in touch with
him again,” Geisinger said. “It has been
10 years since we have really seen one another. I was drafted a year before he was,
so it was a little surreal to be back here
with him.” Geisinger was drafted by the
Buffalo Bills and played with three different teams during his stint in the NFL.
The mission of Cutler’s foundation is
to help children with diabetes learn how
they can overcome the challenges of the
disease. The foundation funds screening
clinics to test for childhood diabetes,
aids in operation cost of summer camp
attendance for Type 1 kids, and motivation to those who are diagnosed with
Type-1 diabetes.
Cutler was 26 years old when he was
first diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes.
“I know that it was a difficult time
for him,” Geisinger said. “I remember
he lost a lot of weight and was always
fatigued. It is good to see that the advancements in medicine are such that
athletes like Jay can continue to play despite having some limitations.”
The Hendersonville Performing Arts Company will be holding over Disney’s “High School Musical” for an additional weekend; July 31 and Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and Aug. 2 at 2 p.m. This show
will surely keep you singing and dancing in your seats. Tickets are General Admission and $10. For reservations visit hpactn.com or call the box office at 615-826-6037. Photo submitted.

BACHMAN
From page 3
Chattanooga to pay tribute to the five fallen
servicemen killed by a lone gunman earlier this
month. It isn’t unlike Bachman to put together
an event like this for veterans, a friend said.
“Jim Bachman or “Bull” as we all know
him is a highly-respected, great, outstanding
leader, not only to us, but for our community,” fellow veteran Jesse Aguirre, Nashville
Chapter commander for the Combat Vets
and Motorcycle Association, said. “Anything
for our veterans - he is at full charge.”
More than 100 riders participated in the
event where Bachman, the state representative
for the Combat Vets and Motorcycle Association, spoke briefly about the disdain he and other
veterans had for the shooter before heading back
to Middle Tennessee. On the way out of Chattanooga, Bachman’s bike hit an area of loose gravel
while maneuvering a curve and he was down.
He was immediately transported to Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, and placed in
the Trauma Intensive Care Unit where he was
treated for multiple injuries, including numerous broken ribs and a broken collarbone.
Bachman was initially expected to leave
Erlanger Tuesday and head back to a Middle
Tennessee medical facility to continue his recuperation. But doctors determined the multiple breaks in his ribs were worse than originally diagnosed and decided he would need
surgery to plate both the front and back ribs.
He was expected to undergo surgery
Wednesday or Thursday.
On Tuesday, wife Alice Bachman, who is also in
Chattanooga, was admitted to Erlanger as well, suffering from extremely low potassium levels. Alice is
currently a Sumner County School Board member.
Friends, family, and fellow veterans, have continued to express their condolences throughout the
week on social media. Please keep the entire Bachman family in your thoughts and prayer as they continue to get through this very difficult time.
A Go Fund Me account has been set up
for the couple. Those who would like to help
the family, during this difficult time can go to
http://www.gofundme.com/2t4md5mja8.

sweetened teas, generally have high sugar
content and empty calories which puts
children at a higher risk of obesity.
An individual can double their daily calorie intake with poor choices of beverages
sipped throughout the day.
How many times have we justified that
unhealthy meal by requesting a diet beverage?
Energy drinks that contain high amounts
of caffeine have become increasingly popular.
Beverages that contain caffeine which acts as
a mild diuretic can help to boost energy. However, we find ourselves needing more and more
caffeine to overcome fatigue throughout the day.
In some studies, caffeine becomes an addiction that the brain demands on a daily basis.
Some children are sensitive to caffeine
and may develop anxiety or irritability followed by a “crash” afterwards.
The “Just Add Water Challenge” hopes to
enlist you to take time and make clear, educated decisions on your choice of beverages.
The physical health benefits may surprise you.
Look for the series of articles from the
health department aimed at encouraging
you to make healthier drink decisions. The
topics that will be cover include:
Part 1: Dehydration
Part 2: Harmful effects of Sugary Drinks
Part 3: Adequate Water Intake and its Impact on Weight Loss/Weight Management
Part 4: Healthy Alternative Water Recipes without Artificial Sweeteners!
And remember, JUST ADD WATER!!!

TRIAL
From page 5
“There is nothing that
gives the school board any
authority to dictate how a
public records request for
inspection should come in,
am I correct?”
Presnall said the legislative and legal silence on
the matter shows entities
do have the ability to place
restrictions on the ways in
which public records requests are received.
“That’s something that
case law hasn’t even dealt
with,” he said. “The Office
of Open Records Counsel (OORC)...said boards
should have policies in
place. The statute does not
require any governmental
entity to have a public records policy, so we could
have no policy whatsoever
if we want to, but the OORC
says it is best practice to
have a policy.”
Kirk Clements, who is
representing Jakes in the
case, said most of the issues
have already been resolved
by a Tennessee Court of Appeals case.
“It rejects every argument the defendant is making here today,” he said
before reading from the
opinion. “The act should be
broadly construed so as to
give the fullest possible access to public records.”
Clements also argued
the board should not be
able to “refuse any records
request it receives by the
normal methods of communication.”
Gay also questioned Clements arguments, asking
what authority government
agencies have to regulate government records requests.
“Let’s say you have an
agency that is inundated
with requests all the time,”
he said. “What authority
does an agency have to regulate requests?”
Clements said government agencies can always
send a letter within the seven-day window allowed by
law.
“They can wait a year to
disclose those records, as
long as they give that timely
response, but they don’t
have a right to simply ignore
a citizen’s request,” he said.
The trial was expected
to last at least one day and
lasted past this newspaper’s
print deadline.
