It is the second year the fair has been held in June. “We moved it up because of the heat in August and it’s not as hot in June,” said Jimmy Moore, president of the Sumner County Fair Board. “Also, the kids are not back in school like they are in August. “Between those two things, we felt like it was hurting us, and so we went with an early fair last year, and it’s really, really helped. Our attendance was up several thousand over the week compared to (holding it in August).” As always, entries for the livestock, baking, flower, fruits and vegetables, and other contests are to be entered between 2 and 7 p.m. Monday, and judging will take place Tuesday morning. In addition, many of the traditional events will be held as always – a mule show on Monday night, the baby show on Tuesday night, the “Little Miss and Miss Jr. Fair” on Wednesday night, and the “Fairest of the Fair” on Thursday night. One new event will take place Friday night, as a band will play to entertain those in attendance and prizes will be awarded for attendance. “It’s a ‘60’s, ‘70’s, and ‘80’s band and we’re giving away the choice of a golf cart, a zero-turn mower, or furniture from three or four of our spon- We want everybody to have fun, and we want everybody who wants to have a ride to have a ride. – Jimmy Moore sors,” Moore said. “The band is playing at 8:30 p.m. on Friday night and we’re having this big giveaway. “You go into the sponsors’ booths, and they’ll give you tickets, and you’ll be eligible for the drawing. It has nothing to do with the fair admittance – you still need a ticket to get into the fair, but these places will give you tickets to be eligible for one of those three prizes.” That is not the only giveaway – the Sumner County Fair Board is awarding a large screen TV to one lucky recipient Wednesday night just for entering the fair. Another new event is motorcycle races on Saturday night, replacing the long-time horse show. “The Walking Horse Associ- ation and the government are at such odds...we just can’t get everybody together,” Moore said. “You can’t have a horse show with 20 classes and 20 horses, so we’re having a motorcycle race.” “We had one last year on a Friday night, and it did real well,” he said. “So, this year, we’re having it on Saturday night and putting a little bit more into it and hoping we’ll have a big crowd. People like a little more excitement now.” There will be 10 races, and Volunteer State Bank will give away three $250 gas cards dur- ing the intermissions of the races. Meanwhile, Kissell Entertainment will be back to provide the carnival rides. “This will be their second year, and they’ll be back with more rides and bigger rides,” Moore said. “They’re a good, clean carnival and a good family from Alabama – this is the third or fourth generation of them.” Gates open just after lunch, and booths will be manned around 3 or 4 p.m. The carnival rides open at 5 p.m., according to Moore. “We don’t close until the people leave,” he said. “During the week, we’re talking 10 or 10:30 p.m., but on the weekends it might be midnight.” “We want everybody to have fun, and we want everybody who wants to have a ride to have a ride,” he said. Admission to the fair is $5, and armbands for unlimited rides are $15 on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. On Wednesday, “Kids’ Day,” the armbands are $12, while on Friday and Saturday, they are $20. Commission to take up budget Monday Measure passed Budget Committee unanimously this week By JOSH NELSON Hendersonville Standard The Sumner County Commission is scheduled to take up the budget for Fiscal Year 2015-2016 at their meeting Monday night. The proposal was passed unanimously by the county’s Budget Committee this past Monday. Budget Committee Chairman Paul Goode, who represents District 10 in Hendersonville, thanked the committee members and the staff of the Finance Department for their efforts, noting it was one of the earliest times the budget may be passed in years. “By bringing it to the floor in June, it’s the quickest it has been brought to the floor for discussion and a possible vote – as best we can figure – in probably about 30 years,” he said. County Executive Anthony Holt said he was also pleased by the work of those involved this year. “I think the Budget Committee did a good job, especially with the number of new commissioners,” he said. “They came in and worked really hard and had to make some tough choices.” Coming into the process, there were about $5.6 million in new requests, but the committee whittled that down to about $2.5 million in new spending. “Everybody played well together,” Holt said. “The elected officials worked with the committee, and not everybody got everything they wanted, but what they ended up with will provide the citizens with good services.” Holt predicted passage of budget with little trouble. “For all practical intents and purposes, I think everything is in good order, and I feel comfortable it will pass,” he said. “There are always some things in there that people don’t want, but I think it addresses our priorities. “What we don’t want is large re-allocations of money because I think the Budget Committee did their due diligence in balancing needs in operational expenses and in debt service, which we need to complete our capital projects.” If the commission passes the budget next week, the commission can take up setting a property tax rate next month. The rate is not expected to change. “I don’t anticipate it nor do I “Not everybody got everything they wanted, but what they ended up with will provide the citizens with good services.” County Executive Anthony Holt think it would be prudent,” Holt said. Working off the top of his head and without firm figures in front of him, Holt said Robertson County’s property tax rate is $2.96 and Wilson County’s is $2.54. “And there’s talk they may each need to raise theirs,” Holt said. “Ours is $2.50, and we’ve got a budget that addresses growth, our current needs, and looks far into the future to address issues before they become a crisis. I think we’re in good shape.” Stay updated with the latest news that you care about Connect with us online. @Hville_Standard The Hendersonville Standard 4 www.hendersonvillestandard.com County weighing program to attract seniors Estimated to cost about $10,000 per year By JOSH NELSON Hendersonville Standard Before passing the county budget Monday night, the county commission’s Budget Committee made one final change to the proposal, appropriating an extra $30,000 for Forward Sumner. Half the money would go to Retire Tennessee, a program offered through the Tennessee Department of Economic Development (TDECD) aimed at attracting senior citizens to the state. “I think this is something Sumner County should embrace,” said Reggie Mudd, TDECD’s regional director for Northern Middle Tennessee. “The people who will be recruited here don’t have people in school so you don’t have to build schools for them. They’re the kind of people you want in your community – they have time to give back. They are generally better educated people and 70-percent of them own their own homes. “These are baby-boomers, and they buy 48-percent of new domestic cars, they eat out more often, and they have 77-percent of the country’s financial assets, so I think it is somebody that ought to be recruited to Sumner County...we have a lot of things to offer them that a lot of other counties don’t have.” Mudd said the only other county around Nashville involved in the program right now is Robertson County. He said they received 6,700 referrals last year, but he admitted there are hurdles in being able to track the effectiveness of the program if implemented in Sumner County. “You know you’ve got the inquiry, but you don’t exactly who moved here and who didn’t,” he said. “They’re going to end up at a real estate agent’s office.” The $15,000 cost, Mudd said, would go to printing brochures and creating a website. “But those kinds of things are onetime expenses that are going to last several years,” he said. “I think the chambers (of commerce) are doing this to a certain extent already, but this is just a program on steroids where it is more organized and is another avenue to recruit and attract people.” Jimmy Johnston, executive director of Forward Sumner, said the program would require about $10,000 in recurring costs. Meanwhile, another $10,000 of the $30,000 appropriation would go to “personnel and the labor involved in getting things up and running,” according to County Executive Anthony Holt. The other $5,000 would go to the Transit Alliance. “It’s to keep us engaged in the transit discussion,” Johnston said. “It’s a very small amount of money and it’s an entity that is going to keep us in the discussion about how transit is going to keep us in the regional concept of transportation corridors. Coming this fall and winter, there will be a robust discussion about infrastructure. We’re talking about what could be a $1 billion project.” Holt said, “It’s pivotal. It really sets Sumner County back if we don’t participate. It’s six-laning 386...it’s extending the Gallatin Bypass to hook in to 31-E and four-laning 31-E all the way to the Kentucky line. It opens up the rest of our county.” The vote on spending the additional funds was unanimous. “Gone Fishin!” My shoulder was so bad, I wasn’t able to cast my line anymore. I thought my Ƥshing days were over until a friend referred me to Dr. Gautsch, thankfully. The procedure was short, recovery was simple with the help of the fantastic staơ and having everything on site at the Dr.’s ofƤce. Now, I’m out there again with, rod and reel, casting my line pain free. Thank you Dr. Gautsch & Staơ Billy Woodard Thomas L.

Gallatin, TN 37066 Appointments • (615) 452-3320 June 11, 2015 State says city must complete multimillion dollar road project Current road condition could cause fatalities By SHERRY MITCHELL Hendersonville Standard The city is on the hook for a multimillion dollar road project to correct a problem the state says could be deadly for some drivers. Phase 2 of the Saundersville Road connector project was to eliminate the atgrade crossing of the CSX Railroad track on Saundersville Road, near Gallatin Road. The city had previously proposed to the state, construction of a new grade separated tunnel that would re-route traffic to Gallatin Road near the former House of Cash building, according to the Tennessee Department of Transportation. Now, TDOT is calling in the 2008 commitment to the project; instructing city officials to either get the work done, or risk having the road closed. “It is a commitment made by the city when TDOT allowed the city to realign the ramp at SR 386 (Vietnam Veterans Pkwy),” Heather Jensen, TDOT spokesperson said. “Because the city has not fulfilled its commitment, there are safety issues that are of great concern to the department, concerns that could ultimately force the department to close the ramp. “The department is attempting to work with the city to avoid any such closures.” In a letter to the city dated March 12, 2015, Paul Degges, deputy commissioner and chief engineer for TDOT, said the Saundersville Road residential area had grown to the point that leaving the current at-grade railroad crossing was no longer feasible. “This residential growth and the associated increase in traffic volumes has now approached the safety and operational limitations of the traffic signal interconnect at the CSX at-grade railroad crossing,” the letter states. “It has now been observed that under the preempted signal conditions (all red phase during train passage) Saundersville off-ramp vehicle queues are extending into the eastbound travel lanes on mainline State Route 386 (Vietnam Veterans Blvd.) This stopped condition on a high speed facility (65 mph) creates the potential for severe crashes including fatalities.” Degges also refers to an Oct. 15, 2009 letter to the city from TDOT Commissioner Gerald Nicely, who said, “It was known that the construction of the tunnel would follow the initial construction phase (Saundersville Road connector), and consequently, a traffic signal preemption interconnect for the signal on Saundersville Road just west of the at-grade crossing and the CSX RR crossing gates was deemed to be a necessary part of the initial phase of the construction. The department has determined that this safety issue must be addressed prior to opening the new connector in order to protect the motoring public.” In regards to funding, no firm numbers are known at this time, but the project is almost assuredly going to be a higher cost to taxpayers that it was eight years ago, Jensen said, adding the state’s contribution would be less than half. “This project qualifies for the state’s Local Interstate Connector (LIC) Program in which the state will match 50 percent of the cost of a project up to $2 million,” she said. “In 2007, this project was estimated to cost just over $5 million, so TDOT would be able to offer the maximum of $2 million.” The road project was initially to be paid for through the same state grant, with the remaining funds, around $3.6 million to be covered by Halo Properties, the developer of the Saundersville Road connector. That company has since gone into receivership and the city could get left taking responsibility for the entire portion of the project beyond the $2 million. Mayor Scott Foster spoke briefly about Phase 2 of the Saundersville Road project that will include the addition of a five-lane tunnel connecting Saundersville Road to Gallatin Road during a May 5 State of the City address, but did not said how the project would be paid for, or whether any initial monies were ever collected from Halo for the project. Jensen said the state has not put a firm deadline on the project completion date and no other proposed projects are being affected by this. “No sanctions or limitations have been placed on the city regarding future projects,” she said.

While final numbers were not immediately available, the event at Long Hollow Baptist Church drew about 700 people and raised more than $30,000 for the organization – a record amount in both attendance and funding. “We didn’t have to pay him anything to come,” said Debra Maggart, executive director of COMPASS. “We just reached out to him, and he appreciated what we’re trying to do, and he took time out of his busy schedule to come, and we really appreciate him doing that for us. “We also appreciate all the sponsors and the people who came to the event in support of COMPASS.” COMPASS, which began in 2004, is aimed at forming partnerships between Sumner County schools and businesses, organizations, churches, and individuals. Jones talked about the football program, but he also talked about the generation of athletes with whom he has to work. “We’re all getting older,” he said. “But in my profession, they don’t ever get older – we’re always dealing with 17-22 year old individuals – they never get older.” Jones said he has to make sure they always understand the current generation. “It’s called ‘Generation Y,’ but I call it ‘Generation I-Y,’” he said of current athletes. “I-phones, I-pads – it’s the ‘selfie’ generation. It’s the generation of ‘I deserve what I want.’” Parenting styles are changing as well, Jones said. “Right now, there’s two types of parents,” he said. “There are parents who are preparing the path for the kid, and there are parents who are preparing the kid for the path.” Jones said there are too many parents trying to “prepare the path for the kid.” Zachary Davis to serve at least 71 years The family meals and the interaction, I think, is very, very important to a family. – UT Head Football Coach Butch Jones “It’s good for them to fail,” Jones said. “It’s good for them to strike out in baseball. It’s good for them to fall off their bike and scrape their knee. You learn through adversity. “I deal more every day with parents,” he said. “You would be amazed.” Jones then asked parents to reexamine their attitudes. “I really want to challenge you as a parent today – and I’ve challenged myself,” he said. “If you look at this generation, it’s a generation of many firsts. Kids don’t need adults to get information – the content they have at their fingertips. My eight-year-old knows how to work a cell phone better than myself.” However, Jones said, children need parents for context. “They can get (information) without our help, but we need to explain it (and the consequences) to them,” he said. “They broadcast every thought and every emotion...they enjoy ex- ternal stimuli at their fingertips...but really, they become isolated.” Jones said the art of face-to-face and personal relationships is being lost due to social media. “(Kids need to learn) how you sit in a chair, how you shake somebody’s hand, how you have great eye contact, how you remember their name,” Jones said. “(But now) they learn more from a portable device than a class.” Jones then told a story where he took his family out to dinner recently and everyone was on their cell phone. He confiscated them all and turned his own phone off. “We sat and we spoke as a family,” Jones said. “The family meals and the interaction, I think, it is very, very important to a family.” Jones then addressed the reason he was there – COMPASS. “COMPASS is giving its all each and every day, and I encourage you to support them as much as you can,” Jones said. The funds raised go towards COMPASS’s goal of awarding grants to classrooms. “What we’re trying to do is expand on our School Improvement Awards,” Maggart said in an interview last week. “The grants go to teachers to use in their actual classrooms. We’ve always been able to facilitate grants in the Hendersonville and Gallatin areas, but we’re hoping to expand that to White House, Portland, and the northern part of the county.” Tax increase poised to hit Hendersonville residents Aldermen pass $40.3 million budget By SHERRY MITCHELL How They Voted 10.8- Cent Tax Increase Hendersonville Standard After doling out an additional 23 percent this year on county property taxes, Hendersonville homeowners may have to dig even deeper into their pockets in 2016. Despite a small sea of protestors, the board of mayor and aldermen Tuesday night voted 8 to 5 on first reading to increase the certified property tax rate from 65 cents to 75.8 cents per $100 of assessed property value. City leaders had originally proposed a 12-cent increase to cover more than $1.8 million of additions Two decades added to convicted murderer’s sentence Yes: Foster Brown Woodcock Frost Ames Campbell Goode Sprouse No: Cunningham Skidmore Long Stamper Waters for the 2015-16 fiscal year. Among the additions was $357,000 for new software for the IT department to comply with the Affordable Care Act; $400,000 for road paving, and $767,000 for the police department for 10 new cars, two new detective positions, three new police offi- Hamilton Frost cer positions, and other equipment. Budget changes An amendment by Alderman Steve Brown to decrease a line item under the prior year reserved capital project budget, for maintenance of Friendship Bridge including dredging, See TAX l Page 17 By JOSH NELSON Hendersonville Standard A Hendersonville teen convicted by a jury of first-degree murder had another two decades added on his life sentence at a sentencing hearing Friday. Zachary Davis, 17, received an automatic life sentence after a four-day trial in April in which he was found guilty of bludgeon- Zachary Davis ing his mother to death in 2012. He must serve at least 51 years of that life sentence before being eligible for parole. Friday’s hearing was to address charges of attempted first-degree murder and attempted-first degree because he also set the house on fire after the murder while his older brother was sleeping. Each charge carried a range of 15-25 years, and Criminal Court Judge Dee David Gay ordered Davis to serve 20 years for each charge. The sentences will be served concurrently, or at the same time, but they do not begin until after the life sentence has been served. In effect, Davis will serve 71 years before he is eligible for release. “I asked for the full 25 years to be served, but I did ask they be served concurrently,” said District Attorney General Ray Whitley. “I feel like he would still be a threat if he were to get out because he is so fascinated with death. I also felt, and the judge brought this up, he showed absolutely no remorse or regard for human life. But I think it’s a good sentence.” Davis’ attorney, Randy Lucas argued during the trial that Davis did not have the mental capacity to commit the crimes, pointing to testimony from mental health experts who said Davis suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and that he heard voices in his head. The jury, however, which consisted of seven men and five women, apparently put more weight on Davis’ two confessions – one on videotape and one on paper. 6 Thursday, June 11, 2015 OPINION hendersonvillestandard.com Chamber News By AMANDA FOSTER Customer service can make or break a business. We see it all the time on social media and when friends get together. People like to talk about customer service, good or bad. It seems though, that the bad is what people remember. As a business owner, manager, or employee, how important is customer service to you? I had the pleasure of attending the National Day of Prayer Breakfast several weeks ago with my good friends John and Liz Bradley. If you’ve never attended the event, I encourage you to do so next year. The prayers that take place for every aspect of our lives and community are awesome. Community leaders’ coming together to pray for our community is truly impactful. There is a joy, a peace and a united feeling to this event. One of the speakers was Keith Gunter from New Creation Church and he prayed for the business community. I was completely moved by a story he shared about a local business his wife had visited. The story is great and I hope if you have a chance to meet Keith, you will ask him about it, but his message for business was one I am trying to take to heart and would like to share with you today. He spoke about our opportunity as business people to change our community for the better. We don’t know the lives of the people coming into our businesses; we don’t always know their circumstances. Same with us, we have bad days. Ones in which we do not want to serve, but in business, that isn’t an option. We can show up to work, take our bad day out on our cus- tomers and employees and that does nothing to help us feel better. Or, we can lead. We can start the day with a desire to help and to serve and be someone else’s positive light for the day. In turn, we will get so much more out of that than the other and it’s within our reach to do so. Keith’s story ended with a business rallying around one customer and giving that customer the gift of great service. One customer. I bet that one customer went on to share that story as Keith’s wife did. Positive, impactful moments are meant to be shared and it starts with one customer. I left that breakfast and thought of the burden I have working with businesses in our community and wondering how I can pass it along. Knowing that one small, positive moment can have such an impact on so many people. It starts with me. I have to bring that with me each day. I have to act with purpose, smile at those that may not get that anywhere else and give a little more to the person on the other end of the line even when they interrupted my other work. I have to know that by serving with a happy heart, I give the person I am serving a piece of that happiness. I have to make customer service my greatest asset. I hope you will as well. Lead by example and let your staff see the importance of your customers. They are the reason we are here. Without customers, we are all out of work. How cool would it be if our community was known for our businesses because of great customer service? Let’s make that happen. It starts with you!

Tennessee advances new strategy in mental health services Pilot project goal to improve treatment and recovery From Staff Reports Hendersonville Standard The Tennessee Mental Health Consumers’ Association (TMHCA) is embarking on a pilot project to enhance treatment provided at the state’s mental health institutes. Among the primary goals of the initiative is an increased emphasis on teaching recovery skills to patients as a means to improving their outcomes, reducing the rate of institute readmissions and saving taxpayer money. Approximately $300,000 in grant funding from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will support a three year Peer Engagement Project at Tennessee’s four Regional Mental Health Institutes. Through a partnership with the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, TMHCA Certified Peer Recovery Specialists will be paired with patients, families and institute staff members to effectively improve treatment and recovery for Tennesseans with mental illness. “A Peer Recovery Specialist is essentially someone who has been a patient, and has the lived experience that can offer support and guidance to patients and their loved ones navigating the often challenging environment of our mental health institutes,” said E. Douglas Varney, Commissioner for the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. “I am confident this approach will generate beneficial dialogue, and greatly improve outcomes in the long term for everyone concerned.” Tennessee’s Mental Health Institutes serve more than 7,000 people annually, individuals who are experiencing some of the most unstable periods in their lives in terms of mental illness. Now patients and family members will have a voice in planning, policies and access to peer support services, with the hope of revolutionizing the recovery process in Tennessee’s mental health institutes. The Primary Goals of Tennessee’s Peer Engagement Project • Teaching patients recovery skills and offering hope • Increasing patient access to peer support services • Counseling staff who experience trauma on the job • Including families and peers on the Board of Trustees • Reducing readmissions to save taxpayer money “It’s a pioneering approach, which we hope greatly improves outcomes for patients and cuts down on repeat hospitalizations and readmissions, and reduces a patients’ need for crisis services after they return to their home community,” said Lisa Ragan, Director of Consumer Affairs and Peer Recovery Services for the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. “Peer Recovery Specialists go through a rigorous training program to earn their certification, and I believe will have the opportunity to transform the mental health service system by guiding and supporting patients, family members and even the professional staff by sharing their own personal experiences.” The Certified Peer Recovery Specialists pilot project at Tennessee’s Regional Mental Health Institutes is scheduled to get underway October 1, 2015. The mission of the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is to plan for and promote the availability of a comprehensive array of quality prevention, early intervention, treatment, habilitation and rehabilitation services and supports based on the needs and choices of individuals and families served.

According to records with the Sumner County Circuit Clerk’s office, Julia Hill, 29, who worked with Fox Creek Farms, was arrested May 9 and charged with theft of property, $1,000 to $10,000; three counts of forgery and four counts of fraudulent use of a credit/debit card. During the investigation, officials also found that Hill was a fugitive from justice in Orange County, California for committing similar crimes. Hill’s case was scheduled to be heard in General Sessions Court on May 27, but her attorney Jack Freedle asked for and was granted a continuance on the case. The next court date for Hill is scheduled for July 2. Earlier this year, Hill represented herself to The Standard as being a co-owner of Fox Creek Farms. The current owner of Fox Creek Farm did not return a request for comment as to Hill’s charges or position with the business.

June 11, 2015 www.hendersonvillestandard.com 11 Funding boost to provide new school with better equipment Grant from state will make it state-of-the-art By JOSH NELSON Hendersonville Standard The Portland campus of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology (TCAT) set to open in July, received a boost in funding recently thanks to state legislative action. The legislature included $5 million in their budget to be divided up between the 27 TCAT’s, said TCAT Nashville Director Mark Lenz, who added that $350,000 will be going to the Portland campus. The goal of a TCAT is to provide a high-quality education to students in a technical trade in a relatively short period of time. “For most of the programs, someone can walk in here new (to a trade) and be fully certified and ready to work in a year,” Lenz said in an interview in April. “The automated manufacturing and machine tool programs will take about 20 months.” And the best part for potential students, Lenz said, is the skills can be learned almost free of charge. “If a student can’t afford tuition, they can get a WilderNaifeh scholarship and then use the governor’s Tennessee Reconnect program and have all the tuition covered,” Lenz said. “So, for someone in the welding program, they’d just have to get a welding jacket, mask, gloves and a few books. They could become workforce ready for about $400.” “There’s really no excuse not to get a skill set and go to work in the state of Tennessee now. It’s the most affordable place to go to school in the nation right now.” The new money coming from the state will ensure students will I was moving old equipment there, but now we’re going to have new equipment so every classroom is being outfitted with brand new equipment. – TCAT Nashville Director Mark Lenz have access to the most modern equipment possible, according to Lenz. “I was moving old equipment there, but now every classroom is being outfitted with brand new equipment,” he said. “Brand new welding equipment, a brand new computer lab with brand new computer information technology equipment, brand new semi-automated manufacturing equipment for the automated manufacturing program, and also some robots – I don’t what type and how much they are worth – but they’re being donated from the Unipres Corporation.” “We’re going to be in outstanding shape for those three programs,” Lenz said. “And we are using our (existing) funds to purchase new power tools for the building construction class, so all four programs that will be open by September will have brand new equipment.” County Commissioner Billy Geminden of Portland, who represents District 2, informed the commis- sion’s Education Committee of the funding at their meeting June 1. “It’s come a long way,” County Commission Chairman Paul Decker, who represents District 8 in Hendersonville, said to Geminden. “A lot of that goes to your leadership. Two years ago, it was just a dream and here we are.” Lenz said the welding and computer technology programs are now slated to start July 6, and he said there are still seats available. The automated manufacturing and building construction are scheduled to start Sep. 4, Lenz said, adding there are still seats available in both of those programs, as well. For more information, people are asked to call (615) 425-5500. Lenz said a prospective student can also stop by the Portland campus from 9 a.m.to 2 p.m. on Thursdays. COLUMN District attorneys focus on emerging criminal justice issues Special committee introduces training series, guidance and resources From Staff Reports Hendersonville Standard The Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference’s Justice and Professionalism Committee has announced the release of its first installment in a series of new training resources to be provided to all Tennessee prosecutors. Created in 2013, the committee focuses on identifying best practices and training opportunities for Tennessee’s District Attorneys, Assistant District Attorneys and staff members to ensure that legal and ethical standards are met. The committee will review emerging issues such as advances in DNA, forensic science and digital evidence in cases involving children, the elderly, and victims of sex crimes, human trafficking and domestic violence. A DVD-based training, “Points to Consider: Constitutional Discovery – Responsibilities of a Prosecutor,” is the first in an ongoing series for Tennessee’s District Attorneys and their staff members. “District Attorneys’ offices must constantly deal with new issues”, said District Attorney General Ray Whitley of Sumner County and a member of the committee. “For example, the handling of digital evidence is a new and evolving issue. Knowing that the Justice and Professionalism Committee will explore this issue allows us to stay focused on our cases without the risk of falling behind on key trends,” “Many dedicated prosecutors from across the state have contributed their time, experience and expertise in this effort,” said Committee Chairman Mike Dunavant, District Attorney General for the 25th Judicial District. “Maintaining high prosecutorial standards is an area that deserves a full-time committee with dedicated staff resources. This committee allows prosecutors to take the lead in improving the criminal justice system, protecting public safety and safeguarding the rights of the accused. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and Tennessee’s District Attorneys have acted.” Tennessee is one of the first states in the nation to formalize such an effort, and in 2014 the group received a Best Practices Grant from the New York Prosecutors Training Institute. In March of this year, committee leaders were invited to the Department of Justice Headquarters in Washington, D.C. to present their work-to-date alongside prosecutors from 14 other states, the Department of Justice, the Bureau of Justice Assistance and the District of Columbia U.S. Attorney’s Office. “In order to continue to be leaders in thoughtful and effective law-enforcement practices that the public can trust, we will work closely with Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to offer common-sense improvements to the criminal justice system,” said DA Whitley. “This will be a valuable and continuing resource for Tennessee’s criminal justice community.” For more information about the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference, visit www.tndagc.org.

Photo by Adam Brown By ADAM BROWN Hendersonville Standard Admit it. The first time you see Beech’s Jay Fleming on the baseball field (or his picture on the front page of this week’s Hendersonville Standard) you do a double-take. Wait a second, you ask yourself. Is that young man really playing baseball with one arm? The answer is – yes. Then, you watch him. You are amazed at how he fields the ball with his right arm, flips the ball in the air, drops his glove, catches the ball in his right arm and fires it across the field. Wow. Then, when he comes up to the plate you watch him swing with just one hand. Crack! As the ball goes into the outfield you just shake your head in wonderment. Most kids (and probably adults for that matter) can’t hit a high school pitcher with two arms, much less one. At that point you can’t wait to talk to the kid. The Accident When Fleming was seven years old, a day on Old Hickory Lake changed the course of his life forever. “We had been inner-tubing and we were ready to go home,” Fleming recalled. “I was sitting in the back with the inner tube. It had been tied down. Jay Fleming readies for a throw to first base. “It came loose, broke from around the Fleming spent the year following his inner-tube, wrapped around my arm and accident in physical therapy.

At least I don’t think that it does.” Support from family and friends Now in high school, Fleming says that there are not many things that tend to ruffle his feathers anymore. “There are not a lot of things now that really bother me,” Fleming said. “I have adjusted pretty well. I have gotten used to most things.” Fleming also stated that a good support system of friends and family have created a solid foundation for him. “My family has been really helpful,” Fleming said. “I probably wouldn’t have been able to adjust as well as I did without them around.” His friends are the same. “My friends don’t pay any attention to it now,” Fleming added. “That is what you look for in a group of friends. They accept me for who I am and what I can do for them in return.” As Fleming prepares for the final weeks of his summer baseball schedule, he offers one sound piece of advice. “No matter how a tough a challenge might be, you can always get through it if you are determined enough.” 14 www.hendersonvillestandard.com June 11, 2015 BASEBALL Bucs get out the brooms against Bison Pictured are several members of the Hendersonville Lady Commando volleyball team.

Photo submitted Super (hero) volleyball camp for Lady Commandos By ADAM BROWN Hendersonville Standard HENDERSONVILLE--Summer is filled camps. Some are church camps, others focus on the outdoors while sports is sometimes the theme. No matter the camp, they provide an opportunity for kids of all ages to experience growth, build better friendships and have fun. The Hendersonville High School volleyball team had a camp last week and, as they showed, sometimes it’s best not to grow up too fast. As a part of their Lady Commando volleyball camp, several members arrived dressed as their favorite superhero. From Wonder Woman to the Incredible Hulk, the Lady Commandos showed their commitment to what the camp stood for and what next season means to them. It all started with a quote. “Every day an athlete brings in a quote and our senior Sam Golter brought in a quote by Ken Doherty, a world renowned snooker (a game similar to pool) player,” Hendersonville head coach Kyla King explained. “He won the World Snooker Championship in 1973.” The quote was as follows: “The five S’s of sports training are: stamina, speed, strength, skill, and spirit; but the greatest of these is spirit.” Not only were the Lady Commandos inspired to work harder during camp, but many brought in additional quotes each day. The Doherty quote, however, really made an impact on the team. “We took the quote to heart and decided that Thursday we would use all of the S’s and be our own superheroes on the court while training,” King said. From there, superhero day was born. The camp concluded last week. King fully expects this year’s team enter the season with more drive and determination. “There is a new focus with this group,” King said. “Many have invested all of their winter and spring playing club, working out and now attending camps. They want to exceed where they ended last year and watching them find what motivates them and the team has really been a driving force.” Brady Campbell connects with a Bison pitch. Photo by Adam Brown By ADAM BROWN Hendersonville Standard HENDERSONVILLE -- As with most summer baseball meetings, last Friday’s dual between the Beech and Station Camp 15U teams was a double-header. The host Buccaneers combined timely hitting with solid pitching and plenty of strong defense to down the Bison 7-0 in game one and 9-4 in the nightcap. “They did a really good job tonight,” Beech head coach David Patterson said. “We had good approaches at the plate today. That’s something we talked about. We want to be aggressive at the plate and we did that.” The Bucs jumped out in front in game one in the first inning. Hunter Crawford drove in Peyton Owens to get Beech on the board. Nelson Smith recorded an RBI before Taylor Holloway singled to give the Bucs a 3-0 lead. The final run of the first inning came courtesy of a Will Sipe single. Beech picked up where they left off in the second. Brennan Minton worked his way aboard, stole second and third and then scored on a throwing error to move the lead to 5-0. “We ran the bases really well and were disciplined at the plate,” Patterson said. Beech added its sixth run in the fourth inning. Brady Campbell began the inning with a leadoff single. Joel Littlepage drew a one out walk before Owens was hit by a pitch to juice the bases. An- other walk scored Campbell. The final run of the contest came in the bottom of the sixth inning. Cole Pulley recorded a stand up double before a Bison error brought him home. Though Station Camp found some offense in game two, it was not enough. Beech again jumped out early with four runs in the first inning. The Bucs scored two more in the second before the Bison responded in the third inning. Blair Flatt, Dylan Pottorff and Chris Ruffino walked to load the bases and all three scored on a double ripped down the line by Zach Shonting. In the top of the fourth, the Bison chipped away further at the Buccaneer lead. Austin Windsor, Luke Hendrix and Brenden Puckett hit three straight singles to cut the advantage to 6-4. “Hunter struggled there a bit in the third and fourth innings,” Patterson said of his starting pitcher. “We had some defense behind him and we were able to get out of it without too much damage.” Beech ended the game in the bottom of the sixth inning by scoring three additional runs. “Summer ball is about repetition,” Patterson concluded. “Some of these guys are playing out of position. We are trying to get a feel of who can play where. They may not be playing that specific position when the season comes around.” June 11, 2015 www.hendersonvillestandard.com 15 Area seniors end high school careers in All-Star fashion By ADAM BROWN Hendersonville Standard LEBANON -- For the fourth consecutive year, the Class AAA All-Stars claimed victory over their Division II counterparts in the MidTN Senior AllStar Classic presented by TopTenn Baseball. At the home of the Cumberland University Bulldogs, Ernest L. Stockton Field, Class AAA jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in a 5-2 final. Hendersonville’s Austin Brown and Ben Smith along with Gallatin’s Jared Riesterer were all selected to the Class AAA All-Stars and were pitted against Pope John Paul II’s Jacob Telli, Logan Taylor, Jack Gallagher, Dalton Smith and Jacob Reed as a part of the Division II All-Star team. Brown was awarded a starting position in leftfield. Riesterer entered in the seventh inning and he reached on a single in the eighth. Brown failed to reach in each of his three appearances at the plate. As for the JPII members, Taylor reached on a dropped third strike, stole second and then was thrown out attempting to steal third. Taylor was later awarded the Division II MidTN Senior Player of the Year Award—an award given to the top senior player in each division. Telli struck out in both plate appearances and Dalton Smith, who entered in the fourth, struck out in his only trip to the plate. Reed singled in the fifth to earn a trip to first base. Gallagher entered in the third inning to pitch for the Division II All-Stars. Gallagher spent one inning on the mound, allowing three runs on three hits. Ben Smith, who is still nursing a thumb injury suffered in the latter part of the Commando playoff run, did not play. Six of the eight members selected have plans to continue their baseball careers at the collegiate level. Gallagher will play at LaGrange College in Georgia, Dalton Smith signed with Benedictine University in Illinois, Telli plans to attend Rhodes College in Georgia, Ben Smith will join John A. Logan College, Taylor has earned a scholarship to Volunteer State Community College and Riesterer will join Taylor at Vol State as he plans to walk-on for the Pioneers.

Beech dismantled Springfield Tuesday night in run-rule fashion, 10-0. Will Sipe brought home the first Beech run in the bottom of the second inning when his infield single scored Seth Marlin, who had reached on a Yellow Jacket error to begin the contest. Brady Campbell followed with an RBI single to move the Bucs out in front, 2-0. A third run was added in the bottom of the third. Joel Littlepage was hit-by-a-pitch to begin the inning and stole second before Taylor Holloway’s single put runners on the corners. Hunter Crawford made it a 3-0 Beech lead with a single. In the bottom of the fourth, Sipe was walked and Tyler Cummings singled to set up Campbell at the plate. Campbell lifted a triple into deep right field to send Sipe and Cummings home and the Bucs owned a 5-0 advantage. The lead jumped to 6-0 after a Springfield pitching change. Holloway had a sacrifice fly to score the sixth Beech run of the night. The Bucs added its final four runs in the fifth inning. After three consecutive singles, Peyton Owens cracked an RBI single to score a run. Sipe knocked in two more with a single. The game was called due to the mercy-rule after Cummings’ RBI single on the next at-bat. Holloway earned the win on the mound for Beech. Seth Marlin connects with a Springfield pitch.

We got ourselves in a lot of 0-2 counts.” Blake Gay was on the mound for the Bison and he held the Bucs scoreless the first two innings while his offense gave him an early lead. In the bottom of the second, Austin hit a double along the third base line. A Beech throwing error to third on Devon Brooks’ at-bat allowed Austin to score to give the Bison a 1-0 advantage. Beech wasted little time tying the score. In the top of the third, a one-out single by Littlepage got the Bucs started. Tyler Cummings replaced Littlepage as a courtesy runner and quickly moved to second on a steal. TAX From page 5 passed 7 to 6, bringing the original total of $97,029 down to $17,028. Vice Mayor Matt Stamper offered up several amendments - one to take out a $40,000 line item for a performing arts feasibility study, which passed 7 to 6. Another motion made by Stamper and passed by a 12-to-1 vote will reinstate annual step pay for all city employees. The amendment will take the cost-of-living pay increase from the proposed 1.7 percent down to one percent but will An infield single by Nelson Smith placed runners on the corners with two away. Smith got caught in a run-down that allowed allowing Cummings to score to tie the game and Smith was called safe after a Bison mishandle of the ball at second. Taylor Holloway gave the Bucs the lead with an RBI single on the next at-bat to give Beech a 2-1 lead. Beech hung another run on the board in the fourth inning. Jay Fleming’s single scored Hunter Crawford, who had reached on a Bison error. Station Camp closed the gap to one run in the bottom portion of the inning. Jackson Bryant led things off with a double before moving to third on a sacrifice by Austin Windsor. Byrant scored on an Austin single to cut the Beech lead to 3-2. “We settled in little after Beech made their comeback,” Tilley said. “I think that we finally got our heads straight. We played much better as the game progressed.” In the bottom of the fifth Station Camp took control of the game. Bryant’s single brought home a run to tie the game. With add a 2.5 percent pay increase each year at an employee’s anniversary. A third motion by Stamper was to move the three line items totaling $357,000 in the IT department to capital projects through a bond issuance. Alderman Scott Sprouse was opposed to tying the items to a bond issue, which he said would leave the city paying for the software over a 10-year period, at which point it would be outdated. “We have a responsibility to pay as we go on operational expenses,” Sprouse said. “We don’t borrow money on vehicles and office equipment.” Mary Beth Ippich, manager of the city’s IT department, said as Beech starter Joel Littlepage sends an offering to home plate. Photo by Adam Brown Gay on third and Bryant on first, Windsor was walked to juice the bases. Austin then hit his shot into deep right field and gave the Bison a 7-3 lead. “That cleared the bases for us,” Tilley long as the city paid the annual $17,000 maintenance fee, the new software would be upgraded at no extra charge each year. The amendment passed by a vote of 9 to 3. Additional amendments A line item for two staff vehicles for the fire department totaling $75,000 was also added back into the upcoming fiscal year budget through an amendment made by Alderman Hamilton Frost. “I just think if we are running emergency vehicles, we need to have them (personnel) in a dependable vehicle,” Frost said. Chief Scotty Bush said the move would allow him to retire said. “That broke it open for us.” Beech managed one run in the sixth. Crawford hit a standup triple to begin the inning and Brady Campbell knocked him in. two vehicles - one with 214,000 miles and one with 141,000 miles currently on the odometer. “We’ve got vehicles that are just worn out,” Bush said. A second amendment Frost proposed ultimately added $3,868 to the police department’s budget for hostage negotiator pay. That line item had been previously dropped.
