Station Camp’s bench reacts to a Yalen Reed dunk during the contest with Independence Monday night.
By RUSSELL VANNOZZI
Hendersonville Standard
GALLATIN -- Despite two sectional appearances, the Station Camp High School
Boys basketball team missed its first two
chances at making the TSSAA’s version of
the “Big Dance.”
They would not be denied a third time.
With a thrilling 67-64 victory over Independence on Monday, the Bison made
school history by advancing to the Class
AAA State Tournament for the first time in
the school’s 13th years of existence. Through
an impressive combination of skill, teamwork, and humble attitudes, the Bison have
found ways to win on and off the court.
“Our school is fairly new, but eventually a
team was going to break through to the state
tournament,” said Station Camp athletic director Mark Mills. “This is a great step for
our school and it is a great step for our basketball program.”
Principal Art Crook spoke with a smile
from ear to ear after Station Camp’s 35th win
of the season.
“These kids have worked so hard, all the
way back to the summer,” mentioned Crook.
“Coach Massey and his assistants have put
so much time into this season. To see it all
come together at the end is really exciting.”
An ecstatic Yalen Reed could barely find
words to describe his emotions afterwards.
The senior forward has been a force in the
paint and also a threat from the three-point
line all season.
“It feels so awesome,” said Reed of the
state berth. “We trust the process. Coach
said if we keep up what we’ve been doing
we were going to win. We believed in that
and had to fight hard to win.”
Head coach Seth Massey and his assistant
coaches have focused on building a team
that trusts each other and works together to
achieve a common goal. With selfish desires
tossed aside, the team was able to accomplish its mission.
“From top to bottom, each player brings
something special to this team,” said an
emotional Massey after the game. “The special part of it is that they achieved this by
working together. It’s a cliché in sports, but
it is amazing what people can accomplish
when nobody cares who gets the credit.
These guys embody that.”
Junior point guard Chase Freeman was
the “quarterback” of the team throughout
the season and stayed cool under the tensest of circumstances by swishing free throws
late in games on numerous occasions. He
echoed his coach’s sentiments on the team’s
desire to play as one.
“We are a family and we play as a team,”
Freeman said. “No one cares who gets the
credit, everyone just wants to win.”
ADAM BROWN/Hendersonville Standard
In addition to perfecting their craft on the
court, the team has served as model citizens
in the community. The capacity crowd that
packed the Station Camp gym for Monday’s
contest was evidence that the players are
winning in the right way.
“That’s a tribute to the boys,” said Crook
of the crowd size. “They are likable in school
and everybody wants to come and be a part
of what they are doing.”
Mills and Massey conversed before the
game about just how special the team seems
to be.
“This team is the epitome of hard work
and class,” commented Mills. “These guys
are winners. Seth and I were talking before
the game that special groups like this team
don’t come around very often.”
Winning certainly helps draw a crowd
as well. The Bison are 65-6 in their last two
seasons, capturing multiple district and region championships during that time span.
Senior guard Keaton Dotson said the program’s growth has been noticeable during
his time as a Bison.
“My freshman year we had pretty decent crowds,” Dotson mentioned. “Once we
started winning consistently, everyone starting coming to the games. Over these last four
years this school and community have been

Sumner student found
with BB gun at school
By JOSH NELSON
A seventh-grade boy at Shafer
Middle School was suspended two
weeks ago after he was found in
possession of a BB gun on school
grounds.
The incident happened week
before last.
“He brought it to school
and was displaying it at recess,” said Jeremy Johnson,
spokesman for the school
system. “He was just basically showing it off. He
didn’t bring it to threaten
anybody, but some other kids saw it, told the
teacher, and the administration confiscated it.”
Despite no ill-will, the
boy was disciplined in accordance with the policy
of the school system.
“It’s a mandatory 10day suspension until a
disciplinary
hearing,
and at that point, the
discipline hearing authority can
make a decision of whether the
student gets expelled, has to go
to alternative school, or gets to go
back to (Shafer).”
The administration at the school
sent home letters to the parents of
those students who were at recess,
according to Johnson.
“It’ just to clear up any possible
confusion about what happened,”
he said.
The letter signed by Principal David Hallman said, “At no time was any
student in any danger from this issue.
We are writing this simply to keep
you informed.”
In the letter, he then asked parents
for help in preventing future such incidents.
“You can help by talking with your
child about what is appropriate to
bring to school. Student safety is our
number one priority here at Shafer Middle School. Parents are a crucial part of
our team. Please join us in our efforts to
ensure Shafer Middle is a safe place for
all of our students.”
Feds, state each
investigating
Sumner business
One possible
victim says he
had about $1
million invested
By JOSH NELSON
The federal government and the
state have each launched an investigation into a Sumner County business,
Southern Energy Group, Inc.
“On February 10, we executed some
search warrants,” said Todd Hudson,
a spokesman for the Secret Service office in Nashville, adding he could not
provide any other details because it is
an ongoing investigation.
A similar comment came from
Frank Gilligan, assistant commissioner of the securities division for the Tennessee Dept. of Commerce and Insurance.
“We currently do have an investigation...but because it is still open, I really can’t tell you any more than that,”
he said.
Southern Energy Group, Inc., with
an office on Hunt Club Boulevard., describes itself on its website as a “Tennessee based oil and natural gas exploration, development, and production
company.”
Hendersonville Standard was unable
to get comment from the company because the offices were locked when a
reporter went by there recently. Calls
to the phone number listed on the
company’s website don’t go through,
and the recorded message says it is
“an unassigned number.”
A sales representative for the company, who wished to not be identified,
told Hendersonville Standard he learned
something was wrong when his direct
deposit did not go through. He, too,
said he had been unable to get any
response from higher-ups at the company and is now out of a job.
Meanwhile, investors such as Sean
Kennedy, of Wisconsin, are wondering
what has happened to their money.
“I got money from a settlement after
I was hurt on the job and was looking
to invest it,” he said. “I was listening
to Sirius Radio, and Southern Energy
was running an ad about how you can
get into oil for investments, so that’s
what I did. I put up probably close
to a million – if not over – with more
money that I sent…since then.
“I’ve only been in with them since
around May of 2015, and I’ve been
getting checks from them monthly –
not big ones, but something – my last
check was for like $1,115 and some
change. I deposited it like I always do,
and it came back as fraudulent.”
Kennedy said he tried to contact the
company, but to no avail.
“I sent emails, left voice messages,
everything, and I’m getting nothing
from no one,” he said. “I have no idea
what to do.”
Several other investors have similar
stories, saying they, too, had recent
checks from Southern Energy bounce.
The company has an active Facebook page called, Southern Energy
Group, Inc. Its last public post on Jan.
28, 2016 was a link to a story about
crude oil prices. Under the link there
were comments that were similar to
what Kennedy said.

Aldermen weigh in on mayor’s
involvement with road project
By SHERRY MITCHELL
Two Hendersonville Aldermen are raising questions about
whether or not Mayor Scott Foster should recuse himself from
discussions about the proposed
rerouting of Saundersville Road
out to E. Main Street.
Last November, Foster purchased a $1.13 million office
building at 625 E. Main St. The
property sits across the street
from what will be a major intersection if the Saundersville
Road project is completed - a
fact some believe could make
that property more valuable.
According to the city’s Mu-
nicipal Code in Title 1, Chapter
10: 1-1006. Use of information
(2) “An official or employee may
not use or disclose information
obtained in his official capacity or
position of employment with the
intent to result in financial gain
for himself or any other person or
entity.”
Following the Feb. 23 BOMA
meeting, Foster told the Hendersonville Standard, he did not believe his purchase of the property was a conflict of interest;
saying the opportunity came
about long after the city began
discussion on the Saundersville
Road project.
Alderman Mark Skidmore
#RETIREMENT
“If I was
Mayor
Foster,
I would
step aside
from any future
discussion - he
clearly owns the
property now that
the intersection
would come out
right in front of.”
- Darrell Woodcock
said given the circumstances, he
believes it best that Foster step
back from any further involvement in the Saundersville Road
project.
“Out of an abundance of precaution for him and his family,
he probably should recuse himSee MAYOR on A26

What’s next for the Hendersonville Chamber?
Hendersonville
man pleads not
guilty to slitting
grandfather’s
throat
By JOSH NELSON
A
Hendersonville
man charged with slitting the throat of his
grandfather in Portland
pleaded not guilty at his
arraignment Friday.
Orion Sweeting, age 19
at the time of the crime, is
charged with first-degree
attempted murder and
aggravated burglary afSweeting
ter the incident on Brittany Lane in Nov.
According to an affidavit filed in Sumner County
General Sessions Court, Sweeting “unlawfully entered into the habitation (of his grandfather) and
caused serious injury to the victim’s throat with (an)
edged weapon, with the intent to commit a premeditated killing.
“The victim subsequently positively identified the
defendant, who is his grandson, as the suspect,” a
law enforcement authority wrote in the affidavit. “A
footprint was discovered at the scene that is consistent
with the shoes that were later recovered from the defendant’s residence.”
While his grandfather continues to recuperate from
the attack, Sweeting is currently in the Sumner County
Jail on $250,000 bond.
He is next scheduled to appear in court on May 12,
2016 for a possible plea agreement.
If one cannot eventually be agreed upon, the court
will set the case for trial.
Some concerned over lack
of direction, transparency;
others support chamber
By SHERRY MITCHELL
The Hendersonville Chamber
of Commerce has been without a
permanent president for nearly
five weeks, after the board abruptly parted company with previous President and CEO, Paul R.
Goode.
And they don’t seem to be in
any hurry to fill the position; citing they don’t currently know
which direction they want to go
in as reasoning for hiring a Nashville consulting firm rather than
a new CEO. While some are fine
with the move, others say they are
concerned.
“Many aren’t sure that is the
best use of their resources,” Stephen Williams, financial advisor
with Edwards Jones and chamber
member said. “I would prefer to
find a leader as fast as prudently
possible, but if they are not sure
of their direction, that should be
a priority. With that being said, I
would like the direction to come
from our community and members.
“Also, the lack of transparency
with the members and the business
community has further complicated matters. Ultimately, the board
will do what they think is best for
the community. I hope it is a good
decision, and doesn›t adversely affect membership.”
Bill Sinks, owner of Bluegrass
Beverages and past president of
the Hendersonville Chamber, said
he has suspended his Circle of
Excellence membership with the
chamber until some answers are
given to members.
“I am extremely disappointed
in the way they have handled this
and the lack of professionalism;
especially when you look at who
some of the members of the board
are which are upstanding citi-
zens in this community, or so we
thought,” Sinks said. “Paul is well
known and well liked, not only in
our community and county, but
throughout the state of Tennessee
and he came highly recommended with letters of recommendation
from Senator Bob Corker, Governor Bill Haslam, and Speaker of
the House Beth Harwell.
years I have been a chamber member and I have confidence in our
board of directors that we elect to
do what is best for the chamber,”
Collier said.
CITY DONATION WILL
BE QUESTIONED
In addition to membership
dues, the Hendersonville Chamber usually receives a donation
“I would prefer to find a
leader as fast as prudently
possible, but if they are not
sure of their direction, that
should be a priority.”
- Stephen Williams
“I have confidence in our
board of directors that we
elect to do what is best for
the chamber.” - Rae Collier
“To this day, they have not given him a reason for firing him and
find that extremely disturbing.”
As a longtime businessman in
the community, Sinks said the way
the situation has been handled is
very unfortunate for the city.
“It’s an embarrassment to Hendersonville and it has caused a lot
of negative publicity for our community,” he said.
Not everyone however, is questioning the chamber’s current
strategy.
Rae Collier, with RE/MAX
Choice Properties said she believes
actions being taken by the board
are being done in the best interest
of the chamber.
“I have served two terms on the
board of directors over the past 30
from the city. This past fiscal year,
the chamber was given $15,000
out of the city coffers.
With a new budget year just
around the corner, Alderman Mark
Skidmore said if the Hendersonville Chamber does again request
a donation from the city, like Williams, he also believes there needs
to be more transparency.
“I think the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen will probably have
some questions with the chamber
- not about the hiring or firing of
Mr. Goode, but some questions on
where they think they are going
as a chamber,” Skidmore said. “I
think it’s a question that begs an
answer. We are giving them money and we want to know what direction they are taking.”
Gallatin man arrested for
vandalizing Hendersonville park
By JOSH NELSON
Hendersonville police arrested a
Gallatin man last Friday after he admitted to vandalizing Sanders Ferry Park.
Thomas Kidd, 33, of Putter Point
Drive, was charged with vandalism,
driving with a revoked license, and
three drug-related charges.
According to an affidavit filed
in Sumner County General Sessions Court, police were called
and an officer made contact with
Kidd, who “was sitting in a black
truck that was covered in mud.”
“(Kidd) admitted that he had
been doing doughnuts in on the
grass,” the responding officer wrote
in the affidavit. “I noticed a large
patch of what appeared to be fresh
mud near the first parking lot area.”
Kidd also confessed to being in
possession of drugs, according to
the affidavit.
“(Kidd) also admitted that he had
a small amount of marijuana in his
vehicle and handed me (approximately) ½ gram of marijuana and a
homemade pipe,” the officer wrote
in the affidavit. “Upon a search of
the vehicle, I found more marijuana,
(approximately) ½ gram for a total
of (approximately) one gram. I also
found one-and-a-half of a white pill,
later to be identified as Hydrocodone
10 Mg, which the defendant stated he
did not have a prescription for.”
Kidd was released from the
S u m n e r
County Jail
later
that
night
on
$5,000 bond,
according to
an employee
of the Sheriff’s
Office
who works Kidd
at the jail.
He
was
scheduled to appear in Sumner
County General Sessions Court on
April 13, 2016.
An official with the city parks
department estimated the damage
to be approximately $800, according to the affidavit.
Maples Pool may be a thing of the past
By SHERRY MITCHELL
A popular summer hangout
in The Maples - the community
swimming pool, may be a thing
of the past unless the homeowner’s association can collect
enough seasonal fees by April
4 to open it up this year.
More than 200 homeowners
received letters from the homeowner’s association board last
weekend that the pool was in
danger of being closed if at
least $22,000 was not raised to
pay for upkeep, management
and maintenance for the 2016
season.
The new fee will now go
from $210 per family to $400
per family in hopes of raising
that much.
The letter sent to residents
reads, “During the 2015 season,
only 10 percent of the Maples
homeowners participated in the
pool season fees. Due to several
areas of concern (notably lack of
revenue and the necessary repairs
to all of the facilities), the Maples
Board has determined that is necessary to increase the pool memberships fees to $400 for a family
(two to five people) for the 2016
season. This fee is still significantly lower compared to other community pools in the area.”
In addition, the letter says
the association would need at
least 55 families to participate
and pre-pay those new seasonal fees by April 4 in order to
open the pool this year.
One of the problems, said
homeowner Leslie Hudson, is
that the $150 annual homeowner’s fee hasn’t been raised in 35
years, and now there’s just not
enough left over cover the costs
of operating the pool.
“The bylaws were written
in a way that the board has
such limited control,” she said.
“They would need 75 percent
of the homeowner’s approval
to make any changes in the ba-
sic rates of the fees or change
any of the bylaws.”
Hudson said last year, a resident pitched in to help keep the
pool maintained, but now he is
moving.
“I think the board is looking
around now and wondering
what do we do?” she said. “Maybe if we could get some people to
pre-pay for the pool and keep it
open, but if not, there’s no other
option than to close the pool and
that land is owned by the homeowner’s association.”
If that happens, it would be
a shame for many of the residents, Hudson said.
“(My family) doesn’t even
use the pool much anymore,
but I think it’s important for
the neighborhood,” she said.
“It’s sad the thought of it closing just because we don’t have
much choice.
“We have to think out of the
box and think about how we
can get all these people to (par-

ticipate). I am hoping to at least
stir it up enough that people
will show up Thursday night
at the meeting.”
That meeting will be held
Thursday, March 10 at the Ma-
ples Clubhouse at 7 p.m. All residents are encouraged to attend.
“I’m just trying to get the
word out so we can see if people want to get involved or
not,” Hudson said.

Rebidding school projects
saves taxpayers over $1 million
“Hendersonville has
approved, in the last six
months, probably 2,000
(housing) units. The city
of Gallatin has probably
approved around 1,500...it’s
going to be enough to just
inundate Beech and especially
Station Camp.” - Anthony Holt
By JOSH NELSON
Re-bidding two school construction projects turned out to
save the county over $1 million,
Director of Schools Dr. Del
Phillips told the county commission’s education committee
Monday evening.
The work at Guild Elementary in Gallatin and Jack Anderson Elementary in Hendersonville, along with a project
to replace windows and doors
at three other schools would
nearly wrap up Phase I of the
schools system’s comprehensive construction plan.
“We’ve kind of put everything through two phases, and
if we get Hawkins approved
(next month), it gets us through
Phase I, and then we start up
with Station Camp Middle,
Nannie Berry, George Whitten,
Watt Hardison and some of the
other ones,” Phillips said.
The education committee
unanimously approved the
work presented by Phillips,
sending them on to the next
step in the approval process.
JACK ANDERSON
ELEMENTARY
The work at Jack Anderson
includes adding six new class-
rooms to accommodate 180
more students, upgrades to the
exterior, reworking the site circulation for better traffic flow, a
new heat exchanger/fluid cooler, and replacing the boiler.
When initially bid in Nov.,
the school system received two
bidders, with the low bid being
$3.2 million.
After some adjustments, the
latest round of bidding yielded
seven bidders, with the low bid
coming in at $2.45 million; the
school system had budgeted
$2.5 million for the project in
2014.
“We saw some areas where
we thought we could increase
the number of bidders, but the
job is the job,” Phillips said.
“There were some things we
could change, but when you
talk about site work, HVAC,
and classrooms, that job is pretty straightforward. We worked
really, really, really hard on
this one to try to get more bidders interested in the job.
“I think we’ve made every
adjustment humanly available
for that project if we’re going
to do the scope of work that
we’ve proposed...(this price) is
as good as you’re going to get
even if you bid it out again over
the next several years; that’s
what it’s going to cost to do the
job.”
GUILD ELEMENTARY
Most of the savings in the
projects under consideration
Monday came from Guild Elementary, where there will be
12 new classrooms built, a new
of bidding, the low bid came in
at just over $5 million.
“(We) made quite a number of changes...we did some
things that the contractor said
seemed to be ramping up the
cost,” Phillips said before offering an example. “At that time,
we were going to be adding on
to the cafeteria that’s currently
existing. There’s three electrical

June, the low bid was nearly

run, it was going to cost us almost as much to move all that

One citizen’s perspective
on Jakes vs. Sumner Co.
School Board - Part 3
By RUTH FENNELL
On Feb. 19, the Chair of the Sumner County School Board, Beth Cox,
“defended” the School District’s ongoing litigation in the Open Records
lawsuit that has been going on since
April, 2014 (almost two years). http://
hendersonvillestandard.com/boardchair-defends-school-district-s-ongoing-litigation-in-open-records-suit--cms-9042-printer.
Last week in Part 2, I continued to ask questions and
present what I consider “missing” information on things
in a slightly different light from what was being conveyed
by Ms. Cox in her article.
Here is what we have so far:
SUMMARY - Part 1: ** The policy being “defended” in
the lawsuit was to ONLY accept Public Records requests “In
Person” or by U.S. Mail. The Public Records Request Policy
of the Sumner County School Board was also SPECIFICALLY “revised” in February, 2015 to say, “SCS (Sumner County
Schools) will not accept advance request forms for personal
inspection of records via email, text message, facsimile, telephone or other method of communication.” ** In denying a
Motion for an EMERGENCY STAY (after two years), Judge
Dee Gay responded, “the school board has displayed an attitude of arrogance and I think that must apply some when
I consider a stay. Five years of blatant violation of the law
(HIS WORDS!) and I made a ruling and the board of education continues to operate in violation of my ruling?” ** This
lawsuit has been going on for over 22 months with PLENTY of time to revise their policy to meet the law ** There
are eleven months of documented legal fees totaling over
$113,000. ** There are eleven months AND COUNTING of
legal fees that have NOT been billed…WHY? http://hendersonvillestandard.com/one-citizens-perspective-on-jakes-vssumner-co-school-board-cms-9061
UPDATE: The Appeals Court also denied the Motion for
an Emergency Stay, and the Board of Education was forced
to once again alter their “normal” policy change approval
process, and voted with one reading on March 1, 2016 to accept a new Public Records Request. ** We should know more
about the cost of the lawsuit because more “invoices” from
the School Board’s legal firm are to be released in mid-March.
SUMMARY – Part 2: ** Although the court-mandated
“policy” revision (as of 3/1/16) now accepts phone calls to
a dedicated line, the other options of making someone get
in a car and drive (possibly) over 1-2 hours to deliver a
records request or making them put a letter in the U.S.P.S.
are STILL NOT more “timely” than email, fax, or even
text. ** The School District will ALWAYS be obligated
to protect legally required confidentiality of records, regardless of the communication method employed. Inferring that the Public Records lawsuit is a method of protecting that confidentiality is disingenuous at best, and
an outright lie at worst. http://hendersonvillestandard.

Rep. Courtney Rogers’ signs
on to education legislation
Cites her commitment to public education and teachers
From STAFF REPORTS
Rep. Courtney Rogers has
signed on as co-sponsor to several bills designed to support
teachers in Tennessee. Rogers,
whose three children all attend
public schools and who has volunteered in each of their classrooms over the years, continues
to advocate for those who spend
their time in classrooms across
Sumner County.
The bills are HB2503/2533 by
Rep. Harry Brooks, Teacher Protection Act for Tenured Teachers,
HB2127 by Rep. Bryan Terry designed to demand that Teacher
Evaluation Systems must be scientifically valid based on confirmable analytics, and HB1741
by Rep. Debra Moody that provides tuition discounts for Public
School Teachers seeking additional training. Rogers had signed
on to co-sponsor HB1453 by Rep
David Byrd to put a two-year
moratorium on the TVAS scores
being counted against teachers.
Byrd recently pulled the bill.
“These pieces of legislation
are important to Sumner County Teachers due to the increased
pressures like evaluation technologies being placed upon
them by Education Bureaucrats
in Washington, D.C. and Tennessee,” said Rogers. “I know
that former legislation had noble designs, but we are finding
that some of these requirements
are counterproductive to what
we want in our classrooms, real
education.”
“My commitment is to the
students and teachers of our
county
and
finding ways
to
improve
our
processes
and
outcomes.
As a community, our goal
should be to Courtney Rogers
identify
issues stifling our scholastic success, bring those issues out into
the open, and find solutions.”
“Parents and Teachers want
a mutually transparent relationship in the education of Sumner
County children,” concluded
Rogers. “I will continue to support Teachers in their very difficult roles and will be an advocate for finding better ways to
produce the kinds of learning
results we are all looking for.”

Now, let’s continue our trip
through “The Twilight Zone,”
of different realities, which is “a
dimension not only of sight and
sound, but of mind.” The following is again presented “for your
consideration”….
Part 3:
Ms. Cox’s statement: “The
Board designed and adopted its
policy, which is similar to the policies of many other Boards of Education in Tennessee, with what
we believe is the best balance of
managing those (confidentiality)
obligations under the law.”
For your consideration: Why
do I hear my mother’s voice saying,
“if everyone else jumped off a cliff,
would you do it too?” in response
to my child-like statement that
“But Mom, everyone is doing it!”
The argument that they are
just trying to “align” their policies with those of similar Boards
was given at the February 16,
2016 meeting where they deleted
an entire option for allowing citizens to speak before the Board.
So, once again, what they’re
saying is that once a County
somewhere in Tennessee creates
a bad policy that RESTRICTS
circumstances where citizens
can see Public Records OR speak
(for maybe up to a whole FIVE
minutes!) to express their views
on an issue or issues that concern
THEM, then ALL the counties in
Tennessee now need to jump on
board so they are all similar…
Well, maybe instead of caving
in to that “peer pressure” to be
like everyone else, Sumner County could do something novel and
actually EXPAND the opportunities to hear from their citizens at
School Board meetings??
I recognize that the Board of
Education oversees high schools
but they don’t have to “follow
the crowd” like they are attending one, especially if “the crowd”
is heading the wrong direction.
Whether it is the current
County Commission that worked
feverishly for several months to
deny citizens the right to speak
about the 2014 tax increase or the
current School Board, there seems
to be an intentional effort within
Sumner County to RESTRICT
ways for citizens to be heard.
Yet, there are multiple governmental agencies, including
Sumner County, the City of Hendersonville and the Hendersonville Police Department that DO
accept requests by email and
respond back by email. So if the
Sumner County School Board is
going to compare themselves to
other government entities, do it
within Sumner County. These
entities have the same obligations
under the law regarding confidentiality and privacy of records
and yet they work with emails…
In addition, some of the
School Board members will present the “faux” argument that
someone might “take over” the
meeting while failing to tell you
that their policies actually limit
the amount of time, both individually AND in total, for citizen
comments or that times can be
extended if the Board wishes.
They may also say that someone might take that opportunity
to speak about personnel issues
or something that might not be
appropriate or something that
could be handle “privately.”
Since when did the Founding
Fathers believe that the First
Amendment should be restricted
to only what government officials want to hear and when?
Since when did the representatives who revised the original Tennessee Constitution NOT mean it
when they put in these clauses?
TENNESSEE
CONSTITUTION - ARTICLE I. DECLARATION OF RIGHTS
Section 1 – Subsection § 19. Freedom of speech and press; defamation
Freedom of speech and press;
defamation
That the printing presses shall be
free to every person to examine the
proceedings of the Legislature; or of
any branch or officer of the government, and no law shall ever be made
to restrain the right thereof. The free
communication of thoughts and
opinions, is one of the invaluable
rights of man, and every citizen
may freely speak, write, and print
on any subject, being responsible for
the abuse of that liberty. But in prosecutions for the publication of papers
investigating the official conduct of
officers, or men in public capacity, the
truth thereof may be given in evidence;
and in all indictments for libel, the jury
shall have a right to determine the law
and the facts, under the direction of the
court, as in other criminal cases.
Section 1 – Subsection § 23.
Right of assembly; redress of grievances
That the citizens have a right,
in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for their common
good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to those
invested with the powers of
government for redress of grievances, or other proper purposes, by
address or remonstrance.
As a citizen of the United States
AND of Tennessee, we HAVE the
God-given, Natural Right to “freely speak, write, and print on any
subject” and USE the “invaluable
right” of “free communication of
thoughts and opinions.” In addition, we have the right to “instruct”
our representatives and apply “for
redress of grievances.”
These clauses don’t say “with
the government’s permission” or
“when the government says you
can” – it says we HAVE THESE
RIGHTS and NO government entity should be able to take them
away from us. But if we don’t defend these rights, they will quietly
and continually be taken away…
So, the fact that there may be
other School Districts and government entities that are headed in
the direction of restricting speech
to fit their own agendas, does not
mean that Sumner County should
follow their lead…
I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the
freedom of the people by gradual
and silent encroachments of those
in power than by violent and sudden usurpations. - James Madison
In the meantime, please continue to pay attention. Go to
www.SumnerSchools.org
and
find out when the Board meets.
The next meeting, (scheduled
following the meetings with the
Accreditation Board that was
presented as a reason for restricting the “Appearance” policy) will
be Tuesday, April 5 at the Sumner County Board of Education
Building, 695 East Main Street,
Gallatin starting at 6 PM. Show
up! Do your own research. There
is a LOT more for you to learn!
Stay tuned for Part 4. Thank
you for your time!

“NO MORE PAIN!”
“I was having severe pain in my right shoulder.
My doctor highly recommended Dr. Gautsch and
his team for my shoulder problem. Dr. Gautsch
was very kind and explained procedures well
to my family. I am very pleased with my results
and have no more pain! He performed a new
type of surgery that left little scarring and my recovery was only 4 to 5 weeks. I’m thankful that
I can now spend time with my great grandchild
and get back to Ƥshing pain-free! Thank you to
the oƥce staơ, hospital, therapists, nurses, Dr.

YES, I would recommend them to anyone!”

#PETS
MEET JACK AND MILO
Jack
Jack is a 4 to 5-year-old male Wired
Haired Terrier. He is well socialized,
but would do best in a home with
older children or no small kids. Seems
to get along with everyone he meets.
Jack came in with a skin condition but
has cleared up with vetting and has no
current issues. He is neutered, fully
vaccinated, tested negative for heartworms and just needs a home. Jack
will need to be an inside pet with outside privileges.
Milo is a 2-month-old Tabby male
kitten. He needs a home that will be
gentle and will need a little socializing. He isn’t feral but he is not confident enough yet to come straight up
to strangers. Milo is fully vaccinated,
neutered, dewormed, tested negative
for Fiv/felv and ready for his forever
home. He should be an inside only
baby and should never be declawed
for his own safety and comfort.
If you have any questions, please
contact our shelter at (615) 822-0061.
The Humane Society of Sumner Coun-
Milo
ty is open Tuesday through Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is located
at 16 Volunteer Dr. in Hendersonville;
sumnerhumane.org. Also, we do not
adopt out to other rescues. These dogs
are safe here. They have no time limit, nor do we ever euthanize to make
room for others (new animals.)
“Pennies for Pets” - we need your
help!
It’s so easy to help the adoption center at The Humane Society of Sumner
County in its mission to save homeless, neglected and abused cats/dogs in
Sumner County. Set aside your change
for the animals at the center. We rely
on donations and fundraisers to provide necessary vet care, sterilization
and supplies to prepare rescued pets
for their new home. Bring your cans/
jars full of change to 16 Volunteer Dr.
in Hendersonville. Your small change
will make a big change in an animal’s
life. Call 615-822-0061 for information
or questions. Thank you for your support.

One-of-a-kind Nothing Bundt Cakes – a bakery
specializing in nostalgic, yet refreshingly modern
bundt cakes – opened in Hendersonville and will
celebrate with grand opening festivities. The bakery, located at 299B Indian Lake Blvd., is owned by

terminal cancer, Kim moved to the area to help
her sister care for him. The family was looking for
something happy and joyous and Nothing Bundt
Cakes was the answer to their prayers.
“We loved that Nothing Bundt Cakes was a company that supported our values and we felt great
about going into a business together where we
could bring joy and happiness to people’s lives,”
said
Teller. “Hendersonville is a wonderful community and we are pleased to be able to share these delicious cakes to make every day just a little sweeter.”
Nothing Bundt Cakes reintroduces an old family
favorite – the Bundt cake - with a light, moist taste
and fresh, clean look that appeals to all ages. Each
8 inch and 10 inch Bundt cake features custom concept cake decorations that are smart, contemporary

From A2
“Rina D. I am an investor with
SEG and recently found out the
IRS raided the office and froze
bank accounts. Does anyone have
information about what happened
and what investors can do now?
Feb. 23 at 10:45 a.m.
“Linda T (M)y husband is an
investor also and had a check returned stamped account frozen.
Feb. 27 at 4:48 p.m.”
A business search indicated
that the registered agent for the
company is Robert Dorrance. On
the company’s website, Dorrance
is listed as the company’s president. The other person listed under their Leadership tab is Senior
Vice President of Exploration &
Development, Stanley L. King.
The website bios read as follows:
“With nearly 40 years of business experience, Robert Dorrance
has worked in almost every capacity of corporate America. Robert’s
work ethic, reliability, and strong
business principles grant him the
ability to prosper in every market,
good or bad. His wealth of experience and association with some capable and experienced professionals in the oil industry have proven
invaluable for Southern Energy
Group, Inc. and its partners.”
The website describes King this
way.
“Stanley L. King is a certified
petroleum geologist and licensed
Texas geologist with over 58 years
of involvement in almost every
geological capacity of the oil and
gas industry worldwide. His extensive background allows him to
effectively oversee the multitude
of responsibilities involved in the
maintenance and development of
oil fields and in the development
of new projects. Mr. King’s wealth
of experience in exploration and
development includes extensive
involvement in prospect generation, as well as field and economic
evaluations.”
Efforts to reach either Dorrance
or King were unsuccessful.
According to an online search
of court records, any possible
charges have not yet been filed in
court.
“I guess we just wait,” Kennedy
said.
This is a developing story. We
will provide more updates as they
become available.

Pope John Paul II Mock Trial team
earns bid to state competition
From STAFF REPORTS
After finishing second in their
region, the Pope John Paul II High
School Mock Trial team earned a
bid to the Tennessee State Mock
Trial competition March 18-19 in
Nashville.
The Knights outscored defending state champion Springfield
to finish second in the regional
competition that was held at the
Sumner County Circuit Court in
Gallatin this past weekend. The
region, arguably the most competitive in the state, has produced
the last two state champions.
Under the leadership of Bill
Underhill and Charlotte Fleming,
this year’s team is the most successful in JPII’s history.
Collins Brown, Miranda MacNaughton, and Julia Colello served
as the attorneys for the plaintiff.
Niya Patel, Kieran Altenbern, and
Victoria Grace Padilla were the
team’s defense attorneys. Witnesses
Melissa Maros, Remilia Li, James
Jennings, Kat McCracken, Matthew
Staley, and Julie Underhill rounded
out this talented group of students.
Just two years ago, the team
finished last in regionals, but
since Fleming volunteered to
serve as the team’s lawyer-coach
(along with Underhill this year),
the program has grown and improved each year.
For their dedication to Mock
Trial over the last several years, seniors McCracken and Brown both
earned the Sue Dunning Award.
In addition, Collins was recognized by the lawyers and judges
who oversaw the competition as
the second best plaintiff lawyer
in the entire region. Preparing for
both the plaintiff and defense for
this year’s civil trial, each member
of the team earned the praise of
the judges throughout the weekend for their understanding of
both rhetoric and the law.
JPII will join 15 other teams at
the statewide competition. The
state champion will earn a bid to
nationals.

LETTER
From A6
“Thank you for your service.”
According to the contract
an employee signs to receive
reimbursement for education
attainment, that employee will
remain employed for an additional 3 years after reimbursement. That, in itself, is fairly
standard. The basic reasoning
is to prevent employees from
receiving education benefits,
completing their degrees and
leaving the City of Hendersonville to pursue other employment.
This contract/rule was created at a time when the Hendersonville Fire Department did
not require a college degree for
any promotional process. That
was changed within the last
few years. It is now a requirement.
My future included remaining a Hendersonville Firefighter until I reached 60 years of
age. So at the age of 54, I completed my degree to have an
opportunity for advancement.
I completed my degree in 2014;
however, as I stated previously, I was “encouraged” to leave
by the new administration.
I asked for a final answer
from Mayor Foster concerning
this issue. His administrative
assistant informed me that his
response was “You signed it.”
There are a lot of rules and
regulations that need to be revised in the City of Hendersonville concerning employees. City
employees do more than provide
the services that the citizens want
or need, they are the service.
As for myself, I would like to
see the city aldermen, the public, and/or other groups or individuals support change in rules
that affect the city’s employees.
I invite these folks to voice
their opinions concerning this
specific rule that has negatively
affected at least one retiree and,
if not changed, will affect more
employees retiring from the
City of Hendersonville.
On a side note, I would appreciate my $617 of “Thank
you for service” being returned
to me.
Respectfully,
Ray McLaughlin
Retired Division Chief

Byrd accounts for only
HHS run in scrimmage
By ADAM BROWN
HENDERSONVILLE -- It may
have been just a scrimmage, but the
Hendersonville Commandos soccer
team didn’t treat it that way.
Hendersonville dominated possession and put a barrage of shots on
goal in a 3-1 win over Christ Presbyterian Academy on Tuesday.
“Anytime you have chance to be
outside and we have a day like we
had today, it is a great day,” longtime Hendersonville head coach Russ
Plummer said. “We are outside playing against someone other than ourselves. Those are valuable opportunities.”
Hendersonville took claim to
an opportunity early in the contest
when Cullum Howard put a shot behind the Lions’ goalkeeper to give the
Commandos a 1-0 lead.
HHS put another five shots on goal
over the next few minutes, but CPA
was able to keep them out of the net.
Commandos keeper, Seth Good,
turned away four shots on goal in the
first half and 14 overall.
Ryan Von Mann gave Hendersonville a 2-0 lead in the early moments
of the second half when he sent a shot
from distance into the upper left corner of the net.
CPA answered with a goal six minutes later off a corner kick.
Sophomore Kyle Peterson made
it 3-1 with 7:35 remaining when his
crossing shot from right to left sailed
behind the CPA goalkeeper.
“As of today, we are making some
nice progress,” Plummer said afterwards. “What happens tomorrow is
yet to be seen. It doesn’t matter who
is on the field, we are playing hard
and we will try to build off that. But
the bottom line is simple. This is a
scrimmage.”

teams battled to a 1-1 tie in four innings
in a pre-season scrimmage on Tuesday.

Two first timers to battle in state tourney
By ADAM BROWN
Station Camp and David
Crockett High School will
both be making their first ever
appearances in the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic
Association Class AAA state
basketball tournament when
they meet next Wednesday in a
quarterfinal match-up.
The Bison held off an Independence comeback to punch their
ticket to the state tournament.
The Pioneers, on the other
hand, won in dramatic fashion on a buzzer-beating threepointer, in a 73-70 overtime victory over Oak Ridge.
Appalachian State commitment, Patrick Good, hit the
winning shot. Good had 29
points and six three-pointers in
the game.
David Crockett is in Jonesborough, which is 100 miles
east of Knoxville. While Good
is their leading scorer, the Pioneers have other threats as well.
Brendan Coleman, a 6’7”
senior, had 11 points and 13
rebounds in the game against
Oak Ridge.
Dustin Day, a 6’2” senior,
added 26 points in the win.
Other key players for David
Crockett are Josh Releford,
Peyton Ford, Darian Delapp
and Ian Martin.
David Crockett enters the
state tournament with an overall
record of 30-5. Three of their five
losses were by just two points.
Four of their five losses were to
out-of-state teams. Their only
loss in Tennessee this season was
48-46 to Science Hill in the Region 1-AAA Championship.
The Bison and Pioneers will
tip-off at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. The winner will advance
to the semifinals and take on
the winner of the Walker Valley/Cordova game on Friday at
10 a.m.

Crook maintained that pitching
will be key, as always.
“As far as pitching goes we have
Taylor Gaines back, who is a senior
and we will rely on (freshman) Gabriella Sarabia to pitch as well.”
Station Camp will participate in
the Beech Play-day on Saturday.
“I’m very excited about this
team,” Crook said. “We have a great
group of kids who want to learn and
improve and hopefully we will do Chasity W

named to alldistrict team
From STAFF REPORTS
HCA Senior guard Emilio Quemada
was selected to the All District 1 basketball team for his accomplishments this
season.
He averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds
a game.
Quemada was also awarded the “Most
Outstanding Offensive Player” at the
recent HCA Winter Sports Awards Ceremony. Quemada scored in double digits
in 16 games, had four games of 20 or more
points and twice he scored 30 or more.
While this would be a great accomplishment for any player on any given
night, Quemada was able to pull it off
throughout the season when every single
team had a game-plan to shut him down.
He faced triangle and two defenses, box
in one, double teams and chasers every
night.
“Having the ball in his hands was always trouble for whoever we played,”
HCA Head Coach John Taylor said. “Since
Emilio is such a great scorer, teams concentrated on stopping him and it opened
up opportunities for his teammates. He
makes others around him better.”
HCA Lady Crusaders Sophomore
guard Lauren Batey was also selected to
the All District 1 basketball team.
Batey was also awarded team “MVP”
at the recent HCA Winter Sports Awards
Ceremony.
“Handling double-duty as point guard
and shooting guard, night in and night
out she was targeted by our opponent’s
best players to guard her,” said HCA
Head Girls Coach, Jack Keller. “Without
her playing as well as she did, we would
not have had the success we experienced
this season.”
Bison crowned region champions
By ADAM BROWN
CLARKSVILLE -- Having already
secured a spot in a state sub-sectional
contest, all the pressure was off the
Station Camp Bison basketball team
as they attempted to capture their
second consecutive Region 5-AAA
title.
Standing in their way was Mt. Juliet.
The Bison had already downed
the Bears in two regular season
games and again in the District
9-AAA tournament final. The fourth
contest wasn’t close. Station Camp
never trailed in a 69-48 victory.
The victory means that the Bison
will host a sub-state game with the
winner advancing to the state tournament.
“We made a few adjustments coming in,” Station Camp head coach
Seth Massey said. “Once you play a
team several times in the season, you
know what to expect.”
The win also extended Station
Camp’s winning streak over District
9-AAA teams to 30 games.
As has been the case much of the
season, the scoring was balanced.
Kody Eden and Chase Freeman
scored 16 points apiece while Keaton
Dotson and Yalen Reed had 14 each.
“We have a group of kids that
know how to play together and understand the game of basketball,”
Massey said. “It is very humbling to
be honest. They come to compete every night, all year long.”
While Mt. Juliet hung in there the
first three quarters, they never led.
Station Camp put the game away
with a 15-3 run in the fourth period.
In the final 1:35 of play, Station
Camp was 10-of-10 from the free
throw line. Dotson, Freeman and
Eden were all perfect from the char-

Monday’s win was a long time coming for Station Camp. The Bison lost

pick, led the nation with 42 points per

Station Camp’s Emma Knoll
game that season. Last year the Bison fell
short again in the sectionals by suffering
a 60-46 home defeat to Brentwood.
Massey believes that the work of numerous Station Camp players through
the years has led the Bison to its first state
berth. Past experiences, including last
year’s heartbreaking loss to Brentwood,
served as teaching points.
“Unfortunately, we had to lose
(against Brentwood) a year ago to learn
how to win tonight,” said Massey. “A
In a sport dominated by males,
three players in Sumner County
made history this season.
For the first time, each high school
hockey team in Sumner County had
a female on its roster. Each girl had
a different experience and has a different story about how she ended up
playing the sport and representing
her high school.
The three - Emma Knoll, Brittany
Hegele and Tessa Herzer - met up at
Panera Bread in Hendersonville recently and had a roundtable discussion about the season.
Hegele, a junior forward at Hendersonville High School, is the veteran
of the group. She is the first female to
play for the Commandos and grew up
watching her uncle play for HHS. Each
year, Hegele has improved her production on the ice. She went from one assist in 16 games her freshman year to
two goals and two assists her sophomore year. She finished her junior year
with three goals and two assists.
During her career at HHS, she has
been around prolific goal scorers like
Brayden Brewington and Gabe Bahn.
They have inspired her to find a role
and do her job.
“I know their style of playing and
I do my best to keep up with them,”
she said. “I usually go to the net for
rebounds, help them with their cycling and the goals will come just like
they did this year.”
Knoll, a freshman forward at Station Camp, is the second female to
don the Bison colors. After moving
from Franklin in May, she wasn’t sure
what to expect. She is the first person
in her family to play ice hockey and
it happened by her going to watch
her sister play volleyball at A-Game
Sportsplex in Franklin. Her first year
of varsity hockey ended with two assists and a runner-up finish for the
Mielnik Cup.
In her first season at SCHS, Knoll
has made an impact on a specific fan,
the coach’s daughter.
“I had my coach’s daughter come
up to me and tell me that she wants
to play at Station Camp with me,” she
said. “She will wear one of my jer-
lot of guys paid dues for years and did
not get to play this late into the season.
It’s the former players that have built
this program into what it is today.”
With district, region, and sectional
wins in its rear view mirror, Station
Camp will now turn its attention to the
state tournament, which begins next
Wednesday at Middle Tennessee State
University.
“We are worried about the next one
now,” said Freeman. “We’re 0-0 and
seys during games. It’s really cute.”
Herzer, a freshman forward at
Pope John Paul II High School, is the
first girl ever in the program. She
grew up around the game and plays
alongside her brother at JPII.
Despite not having any points this
season, the smile and excitement in
her voice meant this season was a
great experience.
One of her favorite parts has been
seeing her younger sisters in the
crowd.
“My two younger sisters don’t
want to play hockey, but they are always there cheering for me,” said a
giggling Herzer.
All three have experienced playing on an all-girls team, but that is
definitely not the same as playing in
the Greater Nashville Area Scholastic
Hockey league. In girls’ hockey, there
is no checking. In GNASH, checking
is a favorite among the boys.
“It’s different, said Knoll. “I’ve had
practices when it’s just checking practices. It seemed like the boys always
resented hitting me, but it comes to
a point when I had to tell them that
they need to hit me.”
Herzer agreed with Knoll when
it came to feeling like the boys were
reluctant to hit her, but she had an experience all her own earlier this season when she suffered a concussion.
“I passed the puck off the boards
and he just kept coming at me,” said
Herzer.
Knoll brought up a topic during
the discussion that had the others
nodding in agreement -- the disadvantage they feel they have from day
one.
They know they aren’t as strong
physically as some of the other players, but anxiously want to prove
themselves to their teammates and
coaches.
“Even though you come up with
a disadvantage, what really matters
is what you take away from playing
with the boys,” said Knoll. “If you do
your part when you get the opportunities, who knows what can happen?”
Each player plans on returning
next season, and you get the sense
that their best days are ahead of them.
want to keep things going.”
“It’s great to get to the state tournament and now that we are in it, anything can happen,” Mills noted.
No matter what happens in Murfreesboro, the Bison have made their
school and community proud. Massey
has preached hard work and humbleness, and the players have taken those
lessons to heart.
“These are kids are better off the floor
than on it.”
Bison punch ticket to first ever state tournament
Station Camp head coach Seth Massey cuts down a piece net after his
Bison earned a spot in the TSSAA state tournament with a 67-64 win over
Independence in the sub-state played at SCHS Monday night.
By ADAM BROWN
GALLATIN -- Monday
night’s sub-state contest pro-
vided an opportunity for redemption for the Station Camp
boys basketball team.
Last season, the Bison were
primed to make the school’s first
ever appearance in the TSSAA
State Basketball Tournament. All
they needed was a win over Brentwood in the sub-state game to
make it. Station Camp had won 14
straight and they were playing at
home, but it was Brentwood who
was the better team that night.
They were in the same situation this year – hosting the substate game that could get them
to state.
But this time, the Bison
would get the win.
Though Independence made
a game of it, Station Camp prevailed, 67-64.
“There are so many things
that have to happen right to
get to this point of the season,”
Station Camp head coach Seth
Massey said. “I knew we had a
great group of kids, but what I
didn’t know is how their chemistry is going to be. These guys
absolutely love each other.”
It didn’t come easy for the Bison. Ahead by as many as nine
in the final two minutes, and
with Yalen Reed on the bench
after fouling out with 2:08 to
play, Station Camp survived a
barrage of Independence threepointers to advance. Eagles
Grayson Murphy, Pierre Watkins and Greg Miller all had
chances to tie the game late, including Miller’s long distance
misfire as the buzzer sounded.
“We felt like they had big shot
capability with those Murphy
boys,” Massey said. “I told the
guys that we just needed to keep
playing for the next play. We
wanted to take care of the ball,
don’t turn it over, execute and
make our free throws. Give them
credit; they made big shots with
the game on the line. That easily
could have been a 10-point game,
but they didn’t go down easy.”
Murphy, who led the Eagles
with 30 points, had 16 in the
final quarter which included
three, three-pointers.
“The guys kept telling me,
‘Coach we are fine and coach
we got this,’” Massey said.
“That is a mature team because
I wanted to make a few changes
here and there. The leadership
that has developed throughout
the year placed them in a position to win a big game at the
end of the season.”
Station Camp was paced by
junior Kody Eden’s 18 points.
With Reed in foul trouble, the
Bison called upon Eden to lead
in the post. Eden responded
with 14 second half points.
The Bison grabbed the lead
early and held on wire to wire.
Senior Keaton Dotson ripped
off six straight points to end the
first period and give the Bison
a 17-10 lead. Dotson ended the
game with 16 points.
Reed’s dunk in the second quarter, which was one of two in the
game, sparked the Bison and Station Camp led by five at the half.
The lead grew to 10 by the
end of the third as Eden, Chase
Freeman, Thomas Zazzaro,
and Dotson all contributed to
build a 41-31 lead.
“It is never going to be
easy,” Massey said. “The first
trip to the state tournament is
never easy. I played on a high
school team that had a similar
situation. Those last few minutes back in 1993 lasted forever. Those final two minutes
tonight did the same thing. It
reminded me a lot of that.”
Massey added that it was
those who came before who
laid the groundwork to allow
this year’s team to enjoy the
success it did.
“I think back to every player
that has played in this program
and who had brought value to it,”
Massey said. “I think back to last
year’s seniors in Shivonta Perry
and Kyle Anderton. They didn’t
play tonight but we aren’t in a
position to play tonight without
them a year ago. The leadership
that those two gave along with
Tony Zaffore a year before that
and John Jenkins before that; this
has been a growing process.
“Last year we were coming
into tonight’s game to play in
it. We were coming into tonight’s game to win it.”
Eight teams will participate
in the Class AAA tournament,
which starts at MTSU’s Murphy Center next Wednesday.
The single elimination tournament will conclude and a
champion will be crowned next
Saturday, March 19.

#TSSAA
Jenkins chimes in on historic Bison season
By ADAM BROWN
John Jenkins spent four years trying
to get Station Camp into the TSSAA
state basketball tournament.
While the two-time Mr. Basketball
winner, who went on to star at Vanderbilt and is currently in his fourth season
in the National Basketball Association,
was never able to get them there, he
beamed with pride when his alma mater advanced to the state tourney with a
67-64 victory over Independence Monday night.
“This means everything for Station
Camp High School and the basketball
program,” Jenkins said. “There are
only a few teams that get this privilege
and Station Camp is now one of them.”
Jenkins, who frequently returns during the NBA offseason for his annual
youth camp, speaks to each of the Seth
Massey coached teams.
“I tell the players that they need to
leave their own legacy on this school,”
Jenkins said. “I tell them that I would
have traded my scoring titles and my
Mr. Basketball awards for just one
chance to step out on the court to represent my school in the state tournament.
That was always a dream of mine.”
Jenkins and Massey have remained
close over the years.
“I couldn’t be happier for Coach
Massey,” Jenkins added. “He is one
of the best men I know and he truly
coaches for the love of his players. This
couldn’t happen to a more deserving
man.”
Though Jenkins doesn’t get to watch
much high school basketball anymore,
he did get a chance to see the Bison during pre-season camp, and he came away
impressed with how they play.
“This is a trend we are seeing in the
NBA right now,” Jenkins said. “We
have teams that are playing more team
basketball. That’s what Station Camp
does now. They play for one another.
I was highly impressed with that I saw
during camp with these guys.”
The first round of the state tournament takes place next Wednesday,
March 16 in Murfreesboro.

Finding long-term care for
aging or disabled loved ones
By DAWN
WADDELL
ELLEDGE
Whether or not
you have thought
about long term
care for an aging or disabled
loved one, the reality is that human life expectancy has increased
steadily over the past few decades.
The number of people living past 70
has dramatically increased, and because of higher standards of living,
by the year 2040 the percentage of
nursing home residents will jump
from 50 to 130 percent. In the United States, more than 70 percent of
nursing home residents are 75 years
of age or older. Ninety-two percent
of those are Caucasian, 6 percent
are African-American, 1 percent
are Spanish, and the remainder are
Asian, Hispanic mix or of other Native American descent. Another important contributing factor to the
ever increasing need for long term
care is the decline of the extended
family in our culture. American
households consist mainly of what
sociologists refer to as the “nuclear
family.” This is where the home is
downsized to a single unit family
replacing the former agricultural
and extended family group.
Because we live in a very mobile
society, more families are moving
this will help with the schedule
and everything else.”
The work also helps with
parents picking up their children from school, Phillips said.
“It will be much, much improved,” he said. “We’re going
to relocate car pick-up, which
has always been a problem out
on that main street (S. Water/
Hwy. 109) because people park
across the street and run their
kids across (the street). We’re
going to try to relocate most
of that foot traffic to the back
of the building, and instead of
releasing out of the front of the
school, we’re going to release
out of the back of the new cafeteria, so that will help a lot with
that situation out on 109.”
WINDOW AND DOOR
REPLACEMENTS AT
THREE SCHOOLS
Windows and doors need
to be replaced at three schools:
Madison Creek, H.B. Williams,
miles apart as the children become
adults. Siblings are far removed
from one another, and parents are
very likely to have to care for themselves when they grow older.
The bottom line is that long-term
care issues are here to stay. Also
very important is the awareness
that long-term care insurance premiums are usually less if you buy
them when you are younger; this
is not a preparation that should be
postponed until one is nearing the
possibility of needing long-term
care facility placement.
Here’s a rundown of some of
the types of long-term care settings
most commonly found in communities throughout the United States
today: Adult Daycare alternative,
Accessory Dwelling Units alternative, Subsidized Senior Housing,
Board and Care Homes, Assisted
Living Facilities, Continuing Retirement Communities, Certified
(Medicare) Home Health Care option to facility based alternative,
Hospice Care alternative,
Respite Care alternative,
Home
and
Community-Based
Waiver Programs for the Medicaid
& V.A., Eligible Programs of Allinclusive Care for the Elderly who
are Medicare/Medicaid, Nursing
Homes (custodial-non-skilled-nonMedicare-long-term care). Retirement Centers/Apartments, Multi-
and White House Middle.
Phillips said the last time
the windows and doors at
the three were addressed was
around 1999.
“Over time, they’ve rusted
and those window panes fall
or slip, and they get foggy, and
we’ve tried to caulk them and
put them back in place, but all
of those windows and doors
need to be replaced from that
time period,” he said. “We had
a blanket estimate of about
$350,000 per school when addressing windows and doors,
but of course, some schools
have more windows than others,” Phillips said.
That would add up to $1.05
million; the low bid came in at
$1.23 million.
LOOKING AHEAD
Phillips said if the county
commission approves these
projects and then the roof at
Howard Elementary and an
level of Care Complexes, Personal
residential or facility based private
pay sitter.
For senior citizens and their
loved ones there is a vast number
of resources within every community, these are just a few examples:

expansion of Hawkins Middle
School, the schools will soon be
able to move on to Phase II of
the construction program.
“We’re trying to get all of
that Phase I brick and mortar
out of the way and started by
this summer and work our way
down the list,” he said.
Some stopgap measures
will have to take place before
Phase II can begin because of
the growth in the Station Camp
area.
“Hendersonville has approved, in the last six months,
probably
2,000
(housing)
units,” County Executive Anthony Holt said. “The City of
Gallatin has probably approved
around 1,500...it’s going to be
enough to just inundate Beech
and especially Station Camp.”
“If you miss a week or two,
you probably won’t recognize
(the area),” Phillips chimed in.
“Burrus has helped. The tight-
est part for me is going to be
Station Camp Middle until we
get that addition. We’re going
to move portables to Station
Camp Middle this summer because with all of the housing
and apartment activity in that
area, that will be a pressure
point area prior to us getting
the classroom addition done,
so we’ll have a need for some
portables there.
Among the plans for Station
Camp Middle are to add 12
classrooms.
“We were up 500 kids in
month three compared to
month three last year, and if
you do that a couple of cycles...
and you’re not planning ahead,
you get in real trouble,” Phillips said. “If we don’t do these
things, you’re going to have
kids taught in more portables
or you’re going to have kids
taught in cubicles in the gym.”

MAYOR
From A3
self from a vote on that because
the (road) project is so close to
his property,” Skidmore said.
Skidmore said the Public
Works Director Chip Moore
and the city’s Capital Projects
Committee would likely be the
ones dealing with TDOT on
the project, but Foster would
need to sign any contracts. In
that case, it would be best if
Foster removed himself from
the situation, Skidmore said.
“I would suggest it probably would have to be the vice
mayor and the city attorney
signing any contracts to keep
him (Foster) away from any
possible impropriety,” Skidmore said. “I would think he
would probably recuse him-
@Hville_Standard
self from that project all together.”
Alderman Darrell Woodcock on Tuesday also weighed
in on the matter.
“If I was Mayor Foster, I
would step aside from any
future discussion - he clearly
owns the property now that
the intersection would come
out right in front of,” Woodcock said. “When I look at
the investment in the property
and whether or not this future
road could add value, I tend
to think the value has already
been calculated, so I am not so
much worried about the purchase, but he should have disclosed it (his ownership) and
any future votes - he should
stay away from.”
Alderman Don Ames said
he doesn’t see a conflict between the mayor’s position
and his recent property pur-
chase.
“I don’t see a problem with
it,” he said. “It’s up to his conscience and I don’t believe it is
a legal matter. If the property
were three doors down from
where it is, would people feel
the same about it?”
RESIDENT SPEAKS OUT
Resident Micheal Crabb
Sr. told members of BOMA
Feb. 23 he believed that Foster
was violating city policy by
purchasing the land for eventual resale because he stood
to make a bigger profit once
the Saundersville Road is rerouted.
“The property is near the
location of a proposed new intersection on East Main Street
if the Saundersville connector,
including the tunnel, is built,”
Crabb said. “If it is completed,
his property value would in-
crease dramatically. I believe
this is a conflict of interest.
“Normally he could avoid
a conflict by recusing himself
from voting. But as mayor, he
has an influence on projects
either directly or through his
staff. And, any action to advance the project would potentially benefit him financially. Since the city can’t avoid
working with TDOT, I believe
there is no way for Mayor Fos-
ter to avoid a conflict of interest unless he resigns.”
Skidmore said he didn’t
have enough information at
this point to say whether he
believed what Foster had violated any ethics standards or
not, but said he believes the
matter will be discussed in an
upcoming open meeting.
“I’m sure when we meet on
March 22 this will be brought
up,” he said.
“I don’t see a problem with
it. It’s up to his conscience
and I don’t believe it is a
legal matter. If the property
were three doors down from where it
is, would people feel the same about
it?” - Don Ames
