Gallatin Fire Chief William
“Billy” Crook retired from the fire
department effective last Sunday,
March 1, exactly 49 years to the
day after he started at the department.
Careers in firefighting are often
driven by family – a father, brother,
uncle, or cousin were firefighters.
For Crook, however, it was
just circumstance, as he had been
working in construction.
“I just had some friends up
there...and one of the guys called
me and said there was going to be
an opening up there, so I put in for
it and got it and I’ve been there
ever since.”
He was 20-years-old at the time,
and that time was 1966.
“I basically just went up and
talked to the chief,” he said in an
interview Monday, adding that
he did not have to have any prior
qualifications in firefighting.
“Not back then, you didn’t (need

then. That’s ‘on-the-job training’
and we got quite a bit of it.
“I didn’t know how long I’d be
doing it, but I liked what I was doing. I had no idea I’d last this long
and I’d be where I’m at right now,
but it worked out alright. I never
thought about leaving – it gets in

Police hope driver simulator
will save lives

CLASSIFIEDS, B6 & B7
The Gallatin Police Department received a new instrument last week
that they hope will help save the lives of many – but primarily teenagers.
It comes in the form of a driver simulator, which is like a video game.
Depending on the computer program, the “driver” is asked to drive
through a course in which several hazards are unexpectedly thrown in
front of them.
There are courses for driving inebriated, driving distracted, driving in
residential areas, driving on highways and more.
“This simulator will be a great tool, not only for teen drivers, but for
community events and things of that sort,” said Tony Burnett, with the
Governor’s Highway Safety Office.
Gallatin Police Chief Don Bandy said, “Most of our crashes are unintended stuff where (drivers are) not paying attention. They’re not watching the road – they’re worried about the radio, they’re worried about the
phone, (or) putting on make-up, unfortunately, or eating a sandwich
driving down the road.”
But teens are the main focus.
Burnett said there were 107 injury accidents involving teen drivers
last year alone.
“What this tool will do is help them

Judicial Forum marks countdown to judgeship appointment
Candidates field questions from commission and public
By JOSH NELSON and MATT CHAFFIN
Gallatin News
The Sumner County Commission continued its march
toward appointing a second General Sessions judgeship
Feb. 25 as they held a candidate forum for commissioners
and citizens to get to know the final seven candidates and
to pose questions to each candidate.
The new judgeship position has been an issue that the
county has been seeking to address for some time, as the
continued growth of the county has led to a rise in the
number of cases currently being heard by General Sessions
Judge James Hunter, which sits at more than 30,000 per
year.
During the forum, residents and commissioners asked
a wide variety of questions based off of each candidate’s
background information and also asked about their passion and what made them pursue the judgeship position.
The seven candidates for the judgeship include:
Ron Blanton, who has served
more than 13 years as an Assistant District Attorney General
after being in private practice for
about four years. Before that, he
worked in the legal division for
Shoney’s for more than 14 years,
overseeing a $1 million budget.
Blanton also graduated from the
Nashville School of Law in 1990.
According to Blanton, his passion is a simple one that
starts each and every day when he wakes up in the morning.
“My favorite thing is getting up in the morning and doing the right thing,” Blanton said.
Thomas Boyers, who graduated from the Nashville School
of Law in 1999. Before that, he
served as a probation officer in
1994 and 1995 and as a criminal
investigator for the state from
1995-2000. He then went into
private practice and served as
president of the Sumner County
Bar Association for the 2005-2006 year.
When asked about his passion, Boyers said he loves evening the odds for those who face uncertainty.
“Evening the odds for people who don’t have much going for them [is what gets me excited],” Boyers said. “The
job that we do is a hard job, and it takes a toll on us and
our families. It is tough to take other people’s burdens and
fight their fights for them. At the same time, that is what
fires me up.”
Mike Carter has extensive experience as a police officer - first
in Lubbock, TX; then in Gallatin
from 1988-1995. Carter graduated from the Nashville School
of Law in 1997 and has been engaged in private practice since
then.
Carter said his passion was
one that he discovered during his
time as a police officer when he worked to serve the public.
“I was a police officer first and at the time it was all I could
go do,” Carter said. “I didn’t have the money to go finish my
undergraduate degree and I didn’t have the money to go to
law school, but I could go be a police officer. When I got in I
truly loved my time feeling like I was serving people. I truly
just bought into the notion that I was there to serve and I
loved my time as a police officer.”
George Duzane has lived in
Gallatin for the last 38 years –
the last 35 of which he has been
engaged in private practice. Duzane is currently a partner in the
firm of Duzane, Kooperman, and
Mondelli out of Nashville.
When asked why he wanted
to be appointed to the judgeship,
Duzane responded that at first he was not interested in the
position, but upon further investigation decided that he had
no reason to not run as being named a judge was one of the
few things left on his personal bucket list.
“The reason I decided to get in the foray of all this is because when I started hearing who all the candidates were
and what was going on, I decided that I’m going to get in the
middle of all this,” Duzane said.
Allen Ehmling graduated
from the University of Tennessee
Law School in 1981. Ehmling has
been either an associate or a partner in a law firm in Gallatin ever
since.
For Ehmling, his passion for
law started early on in his life and
it has been a passion that has lead
him through his career path to this day as he pursues the
judgeship.
“I was that weird kid in high school that knew what I wanted to do,” Ehmling said. “I knew I wanted to be a lawyer. I
turned down a free ride to the Naval Academy because I was
serious about being a lawyer. I love what I do and I have put
my sights on this judgeship.”
Jim Hawkins is a graduate of Duke University Law
School, who worked for the law
firm of Harsh, Kelly & Smith
from 1983-1986 before moving
on to BellSouth, where he worked
from 1986-2000. He spent a year
as president of the Executive
Leadership Team at Birmingham
South College which was charged
with planned giving, grant development, and fundraising before returning to Sumner
County, where he was the managing attorney for the Legal
Aid Society until 2008. Hawkins has been engaged in private
practice since then.
As for Hawkins’ passion, it comes down to consistency
and a continuation of wanting to serve the community, he
said.
“I think it’s a passion for consistency and a continuation
of wanting to continue helping to serve this community,”
Hawkins said. “I believe we are called to show God’s love for
us and through our work for others.”
Devon Sutherland is the final candidate and has a law degree from the Nashville School of Law, from which he graduated in 1999. Sutherland also has
a master’s degree in chemistry
from Tennessee Tech University,
which he earned in 1994.
He worked as a legal assistant
in the Tennessee Department
of Environment and Conservation from October of 1998-April
of 2000. Since then, he has had
two stints as a special prosecutor in Robertson County sandwiched around a short time in
private practice. Sutherland returned to private practice in
2003.
When asked about his passion, he said it was his ability
to form relationships with people that made him have a passion for his work with the law.
“I am the middle child of three boys and I have always considered myself a middle child mediator,” Sutherland said. “I
bring a passion about relationships and I love to deal with
people. In my experience, I try to know the judge and the
prosecutor and help my client regardless of what happens in
the courtroom.”
Boyers, Carter, and Ehmling were all recommended by the
Sumner County Bar Association, while the other four candidates were nominated by County Commissioners in January.
Voting for the judgeship is set to take place during the
commission’s March 16 meeting.

The Gallatin Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance to help solve
two recent crimes.
Gallatin Police need help identifying
and locating a male subject wanted for
questioning in an alleged sexual assault
that occurred on February 28, 2015.
The suspect entered a local business
where he asked for assistance from a female employee. While she attempted to
help him over about a ten minute time
span, the suspect allegedly touched the
employee numerous times in an inappropriate manner. The suspect is a heavy set
white male in his 40’s to 50’s.

of two utility trailers taken from Roberts Brothers Coaches located at 1330 Gateway Drive
in the Gallatin Industrial Park.
Taken were a 6x12 flat wood floored trailer with a lift gate with a silver tool box and potentially a chain saw inside and a 6x10 flat wooden floored trailer with a motorcycle front
wheel chock towards the front.
Security video shows a newer model white full size PU come into the lot at about 6:50

The county commission committee
charged with reviewing how meetings are
run held its first meeting Monday evening.
No votes were taken as the members of
the Rules and Procedures Committee spent
the nearly 90-minute meeting discussing
what should be their main areas of focus.
Two issues took up most of the discussion:
public comment and public notification of
certain meetings.
Currently, the body’s rules limit public
comment to five minutes per individual, but
the committee is looking at trimming that
time to three minutes.
“(In) three minutes, hopefully you can
get your point across and...give other people
the opportunity to speak without waiting
so long,” said Commission Chairman Paul
Decker of Hendersonville, who represents
District Eight and chairs the committee.
There is no state statute governing the issue.
“Some counties have two minutes, some
counties have three minutes, some counties
don’t have a public comment at all and you
have to ask that it be put on the agenda – everybody’s got their own rules,” said County
Law Director Leah May Dennen.
Commissioner JoAnne Kemp of Hendersonville, who represents District 7, suggested a shorter time limit may help prevent
some repetition of multiple speakers making the same point.
A commissioner in attendance who does
not sit on the committee, Moe Taylor of
Westmoreland, who represents District
One, said elected and appointed officials
should not be given more time than the average citizen if they are just speaking for or
against an agenda item.
“I’m not trying to be abrasive or argumentative, but I don’t think what they have
to say is any more important than what the
citizens have to say,” he said.
There was less agreement over a proposal
Taylor brought forward in regards to public
notification of certain meetings.
Taylor would like for the commission to
adopt a rule to require seven days between
a special-called budget committee meeting
and full county commission meeting, with
the goal of preventing a repeat of last fall,
when some members of the public felt the
commission snuck through a property tax
increase.
“I like to have the general public have
time to look at an issue,” he said.
Decker said, “The perception is there that
we tried to ramrod it (through). What we’re
trying to do is not put ourselves in the same
position.”
County Executive Anthony Holt said such
a rule could hurt citizens in the case of an
emergency.

A PROM FOR EVERY PRINCESS
Local church offers free prom dresses
By SHERRY MITCHELL
Gallatin News
It’s every little girl’s fantasy - dressing up
like a fairytale princess. For teens, that fantasy comes alive when they get to pick out
their very first prom dress.
But formal dresses aren’t cheap - they can
run into the hundreds of dollars, and that
can put pinch on some family budgets.
The Princess Project, sponsored by Freedom Church of Gallatin, is aiming to make
young girls who want to attend prom can
have the perfect dress - regardless of ability
to pay - by offering free prom dresses March
14 at the church.
“I regret not going and if I can help someone else
to be able to go to prom that would be great. It’s an
opportunity you only get twice in high school - you
don’t ever get to go back to prom.”
- Lindsey Tuttle -
In addition to the dresses, while supplies
last, princesses-to- be can also choose from a
great selection of free shoes and jewelry for
their big night out.
“Each young lady will be treated like a
princess and will be guided through our selection of dresses, shoes and jewelry,” Lindsey Tuttle, who is heading up the project,
said. “I had heard of other churches doing
this and a member of our outreach team suggested it, so we decided to go ahead with it.
Our goal is to show them the love of Christ
and provide them with something they otherwise wouldn’t be able to have.”
Many of the dresses are gently worn, but
some are new, Tuttle said.
“I know some of the dresses we have col-
lected still have price tags on them and some
are $100 to $150 dresses,” she said.
Tuttle said the group got the word out
on individual Facebook pages and the donations just started coming in.
“We have had members donate and we’ve
had total strangers donate,” she said, adding
that donations of dresses, shoes and jewelry
are still being accepted; as well as monetary
donations to purchase more dresses.
There is no limit on the number of girls
attending the first-ever event, but Tuttle
said it is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
“We honestly don’t know how many girls
to expect - I am hoping for a big turnout, but
it’s up to God how many girls come,” Tuttle
said. “It’s also up to how many donations we
get - if they need a size 10 and we have that,
we will accommodate them.”
Pastor Terrell Somerville said he applauds those in charge of Project Princess for making a difference for local girls.
“So proud of Lindsey Tuttle and the Freedom Church Outreach team for making a
way for prom to be attainable for any princess in our community to feel loved during
this special time in her life,” Somerville said.
While she herself was able to shop for a
prom dress in high school, Tuttle said unexpected circumstances kept her from actually
attending the big event. That makes it all the
more unlikely for her to be the one to head
up this event, she said.
“I didn’t go to prom and I’m not a girlygirl, so for me to be the one to do this is God
making me step out,” Tuttle said. “I regret
not going and if I can help someone else to
be able to go to prom that would be great.
It’s an opportunity you only get twice in
high school - you don’t ever get to go back
to prom.”

Tennessee’s higher ed leaders
support higher standards
Letters to the Editor
Without Bible, religion should remain out of schools
By JERRY FAULKNER
Last year, Gov. Bill Haslam made a significant investment in
the future of Tennesseans when he signed the Tennessee Promise program into law. This program, which offers future graduates of any Tennessee high school the opportunity to receive
two years of community or technical college tuition-free, will
surely open doors for thousands of young men and women to
get the education they need to start their careers and find goodpaying jobs.
Already, more than 58,000 current high school seniors –
more than 90 percent – applied for the program, reflecting the
intense desire and interest that exists in pursuing some form of
training or education after high school. And they are smart to
do so. Forecasts have shown that such training will be needed
for these students to succeed in a world where nearly 54 percent
of the available jobs will require some form of higher education
If anyone hears about our education system wanting to allow the teaching of
the Koran in our schools, immediately pick up the phone or better yet, drive over
to the school where your kids are attending and demand to see the principal and
voice your concern unless and until our schools are allowed to teach the Bible, side
on the elimination of any religious teaching. That’s not what we send our kids to
school for. There is a push by Saudi Arabia to have the Koran taught at the higher
institutions by providing billions in funding that colleges and universities are happy to receive that’s well documented and I’ve heard that the Obama administration would now like to see it at all levels of education. If that’s true, contact your
senators and representatives in Washington and voice your objection. If citizens
don’t do it now, one a program gets started, it’s hard to stop!

School Board “rubber stamp” for director of schools
The members of the Sumner County Board of Education and a majority of the
Sumner County Commissioners could be replaced with a rubber stamp. I have not
found where a single School Board Member has voted against an issue presented
by the director of schools.
When these issues make it to the commission, the education and budget committees approve them unanimously. These committees are “stacked” with Strong
School PAC members. When these issues make it to the full commission we have
a few commissioners that question these wasteful spending practices. They make
good arguments against the wasteful spending. The citizens that spoke were more
than 2 to 1 against the debt and spending practices or the current commission.
The big spenders wanted a large tax increase so they could increase our current
debt of $157,000,000 including interest. They added $70,000,000 debt plus about
$30,000,000 in interest for a total debt of $267,000,000 for the kids to help pay
after graduation. Plans are to stretch this out to 20 years instead of the 10 to12.
It is my understanding that they can increase our debt another $25,000,000 with
the current tax rate and they have plans for another bond issue within the next
couple of years.
The $70,000,000 bond recently approved has $9,000,000 for county general and $61,000,000 for schools. Taxpayers interested in how the school money is
being spent go tohttp://www.sumnerschools.org/ on the internet click on “School
Board (meetings/Minutes) ” then click on 2014; select Nov 18, 2014; select View
Agenda; scroll to New Business #3; click on blue “document” icon; click on “Presentation 11-18-14” to open PDF. I have not seen an official outline of where the
county general monies are going. Our county executive and chairman of the budget committee have
attempted to justify how the public should have known about the tax increase
meeting because they did more than the law requires notifying the public about a
tax increase. After months of dissatisfaction of citizens and questions by Sumner
Taxpayers Alliance, the commission leaders decided to let the public speak on the
tax increase. Sumner Taxpayers Alliance notified the public about this meeting.
The crowd was by far the largest I have seen for a commission meeting. It appears
that the county executive and chairman did not want the public present for the
tax increase vote.

or training.
Few will disagree that Tennessee Promise has the potential to be a game-changer for many Tennessee residents. However, the eventual success of the program hinges on one important factor
– how prepared the students are to succeed.
Our colleges and universities see far too many students who have arrived unprepared for college
level work, despite having graduated from high school. This is troubling, as study after study shows
that underprepared students are far less likely to complete their studies and achieve that critical degree or certificate. And while our institutions are continually developing initiatives to provide necessary support to help students get ready for college-level study, the hard truth is those students
must learn material that should have been covered in high school. Instead of entering college ready
to explore their interests, discover their passions and dive into higher learning, they are spending
critical hours playing catch-up when they should be soaring ahead.
The heart of the problem is that, in the past, standards for K-12 were not adequately aligned
with the needs of higher education and college- or career-preparedness. Tennessee has been a bold
leader in adopting higher educational standards for K-12 in the last four years. These standards
were developed with input not just from teachers, but from college professors who could speak to
what skills a freshman college student should have to perform well. We have already seen great results from these higher standards, with Tennessee recognized for having the nation’s highest gains
in reading and math scores.
Those improvements are just the beginning. Our students have shown that as our expectations
rise, so does their performance. Tennessee must not turn back now. As a college president, I want
to see every student thrive on our campuses and achieve a degree or certificate. We are committed
to reaching Gov. Haslam’s Drive to 55 goal to develop a more highly educated and skilled workforce
for Tennessee. We believe that staying the course with rigorous K-12 standards and putting new
student assessments in place that measure college readiness will be critical to achieving these goals.
Only by remaining dedicated to higher educational standards can we ensure every student is
equipped properly for the next step in their education careers and ready to fulfill their own promise.
That is why I have joined the other 12 community college presidents from around the state to
sign a letter to Education Commissioner Candice McQueen. The letter says in part, “We must work
harder to close this preparation gap, and we believe continued implementation of higher academic
standards are our best hope for accomplishing this. The standards currently in place were developed with college and career readiness as the end goal, and higher education faculty in Tennessee
and many other states had a hand in their development. We support Governor Haslam’s commitment to review the standards and hope that any changes will only further enhance college readiness.”
I would also encourage Tennessee lawmakers to courageously maintain or even further strengthen educational standards to ensure future student success.

Budget cuts threatens many with severe mental illness
By CHRIS WYRE
When you read about the governor’s cuts in the state budget, the revenue removed doesn’t usually have such dramatic
impact on you or the county in which you live.
Budget cuts many times are reflected by existing empty jobs
not being filled, the disbanding of useless state boards that
have out lived their purpose, or a reduction in the number of
times a highway mower may sweep across a nearby interstate
median.
However, this is not the case with a specific proposal in the
governor’s budget submitted to state legislators two weeks ago
which calls for cutting Level 2 case management services for
thousands of Tennesseans suffering with chronic severe mental illnesses.
The governor’s action, if approved by legislators, is said to
likely affect as many as 50,000 citizens statewide, many of
whom, either children or adults, live in Sumner County.
Those to be affected include individuals who have been diagnosed with chronic diseases such as schizophrenia.
Many people with serious mental illness depend on case
management services to help them deal with their difficult and
complicated conditions and therefore be able to live productive

lives in our communities.
The work of case managers with these individuals, according to the
National Institute of Mental Health, is important to keeping them recovery-focused, such as taking prescribed medications that permit them to live useful and productive lives.
Recovery-oriented care, which case management is an important component, reducing the quality for expensive services like hospital emergency room care or inpatient admissions.
It helps individuals better manage symptoms to reduce the risk
of these higher levels of care or other negative outcomes such
as incarceration. All of which will result in costing Tennesseans
even more money, reduces the quality of life for people with
mental illness and negatively impacts our communities.
The governor doesn’t need to spend valuable time cutting services to programs that negatively impact the lives of
so many vulnerable Tennesseans. Tennessee must set its priorities straight and place mental health prevention, treatment
and recovery high on its list of needs. This is a situation in
which community-bases care costs less and is more effective
than the alternative for so many people dealing with mental illness, hospitalization, institutionalization or incarceration. We
are all impacted by these decisions, and we all must speak for
people whose voices are not being heard
If there was an outbreak of Ebola, would we look the other
way? If there was a civil disturbance, would we just let it work
itself out?
We know the answers to these questions and taking away
substantial funding for Level 2 case management services is
just as serious. This service underpins our mental health treatment system, and like any house, removing the foundation
topples the structure. We cannot afford, financially or from a
humanitarian perspective, to topple this house.
I urge you to contact your legislators and the governor’s office and let them know that while budget cuts may be appropriate they are not appropriate when they so directly impacts the
quality of life in your local community and to the many within
your community dealing with a severe mental illness.

Hatley named to Nashville Business Journal’s
2015 Power Leaders in Banking
From Staff Reports
Gallatin News
Keith Hatley, President & CEO of Sumner
Bank & Trust, has been named as one of Nashville Business Journal’s 2015 Power Leaders in
Banking.
Bankers from around the Nashville area are
nominated for this award by their peers. Nominees are then voted on by one another, ranking those who make
a difference in the Nashville banking scene. The article ran in the
February 20 edition of Nashville Business Journal.
After graduating from Gallatin High School in 1991, Hatley attended Austin Peay State University for one year. Hatley
started his banking career at First American National Bank and
then went on to First Independent Bank. He graduated from
Volunteer State Community College in 1996 with an AS Degree
in Business Management. He also attended the Southeastern
School of Banking, Southeastern School of Consumer Credit,
and graduated from the Graduated School of Banking at LSU in
2005.
Hatley has been a part of Sumner Bank & Trust since its inception in 2005. He was part of the forming team. Hatley started
as a Business Development Manager and then later became Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer. In 2014, Hatley
became President & CEO of Sumner Bank & Trust.
When asked what the biggest change he has seen in the banking industry since he started his career, he responded, “The continual automation of our industry and the speed in which we
conduct business each day is light years ahead of where it was
when I entered banking.”
Hatley also stated, “The biggest change I see coming in the
next five years, is less reliance on brick and mortar. Inside transactions will continue to decline due to electronic banking.”
Hatley is currently a member of the Gallatin Morning Rotary
Club and the past President and current Board Member of Gallatin Quarterback Club. He served as Treasurer of Gallatin Noon
Rotary and is a former Board Member and Treasurer of the Gallatin Chamber of Commerce.
In his spare time he is an avid cyclist and participates in many
charity bike rides. He also loves to vacation at the beach. Hatley
and his wife Misty have two children, Hannah and Drew, and reside in Gallatin.

SIMULATOR I cont’d from A1
understand a little bit better what it’s like to try to drive impaired or try to drive distracted,”
he said. “They’ll see just how quick a person can get thrown off, how quick you can crash,
how quick you can be distracted from doing the important things that we need to be doing
(as drivers) when we should be paying attention to the roadway.”
Burnett said that if one is driving about 55 mph, it takes about the length of a football
field to come to a complete stop.
“The average text message is about five seconds, so you can imagine just how far you can
go and just how bad you can be in a crash if you text and drive and take your attention off
the roadway and off the vehicle itself,” he said.
Bandy called it a “no-brainer.”
“We just want to get this out into our community...and get them educated and try to get
our young adults educated as they’re out there driving our streets and make sure they get
home safely because they are precious to us and their families,” he said.
Traffic officer Scottie King said the simulator records all actions by the “driver,” and they
can review with the “driver” afterwards whether they took a corner too fast, didn’t use a
blinker correctly, or other issues.
King also hopes to use the simulator in other communities in Sumner County rather than
just Gallatin.
“I would hope we could take it to all (appropriate) schools,” he said, “because they travel
through our city.”
The simulator was paid for through a $40,000 grant from the Governor’s Highway Safety
Office.
The Gallatin Police Department gave another $25,000 for the unit so that it can have
more advanced virtual driving courses, which can help train police.

COMMISSION I cont’d from A3
“If you have a devastating tornado...you have to have relief immediately,” he said. “You
could have a budget meeting in 48 hours, and under our rules, go directly into a full county
commission meeting and appropriate money. Those kind of things can really happen and
there’s people involved that you’re going to have a direct impact on.”
While she does not sit on the committee, Commissioner Caroline Krueger of Hendersonville, who represents District 10, suggested making the proposed rule only apply to the
property tax rate.
“That way the rate can kind of get out there to people that it was discussed and passed in
budget before it goes to the county commission,” she said.
Both County Clerk Bill Kemp and Holt said such a measure still would not achieve the
goal.
“There is nothing to prevent the budget committee to recommend a rate with no increase
and the county commission could come in their meeting...and increase that by whatever
amount they want to by 13 votes (a simple majority),” Kemp said.
“You can advertise it as whatever, but it’s not going to be factual until the full commission
votes, Holt said.
Both issues and others will be discussed further at the committee’s next meeting which
is scheduled for April 6, 2015.

Open records could face roadblocks
Wynnewood now open for 2015 season
Debate over open records costs continues
By MATT CHAFFIN
Gallatin News
Legislation that would
require citizen’s and media
requesting to look at or obtain open public records to
pay fees to do so continues
its course through the state
government and has become
a rising issue throughout
the Middle Tennessee area.
Two state representatives
have proposed two bills
that would modify the Tennessee Open Records Act
which has brought forth responses from both those for
the modifications and those
against the modifications
regarding the pros and cons
of such changes to the way
public records are obtained
in the state.
“One of the fastest ways
to shut down access
to public records is to
charge fees for people
to view them. We don’t
want anything that
would hinder the access
that people have to look
at public records.”
–Deborah Fisher–
Deborah Fisher, who
serves as the Executive Director of the Tennessee
Coalition for Open Government, is one of those with
concerns about the changes,
as she said charging citizens
to obtain records could be a
step that begins to make it
impossible to access those
public records.
“We are concerned about
[these proposed changes],”
Fisher said. “One of the fastest ways to shut down
access to public records is
to charge fees for people to
view them. We don’t want
anything that would hinder
the access that people have
to look at public records.
That is our main concern.”
Fisher also said that the
legislation is one of the
priorities taken up by the
state’s school board association and hopes that the state
might look at other state’s
open records policies that
are more reasonable to the
public for better ideas.
“I’m not sure how we got
here,” Fisher said. “Other
states have dealt in their
laws with what are called voluminous requests without
imposing fees on everybody
but have other ways of helping government be more efficient in responding to requests reasonably.”
Randall Bennett with the
Tennessee School Board Association also spoke about
the proposed changes and
why the association feels
it is a good change to make
to the state’s open record
policy.
“There’s just been a tremendous amount of work
getting the records ready to
view and there is no way to
recoup the expense of that
work,” Bennett said. “If you
get copies of records there
can be a charge of 15 cents
a page or a charge for labor
to get those records ready.
However, if someone comes
in with a huge amount of records that you simply want
to view it takes just as much
work to get those records
ready. We are just trying to
make it more economically
feasible for local government to recoup the cost of
getting those records ready.”
Despite the expensive
cost for local governments
to prepare public records,
Fisher said that she has spoken with numerous citizens
and journalists that have
been quoted public records
fees that have made it all but
impossible for them to gain

National treasure aims to provide new experiences
By Josh Nelson
Gallatin News
The Wynnewood State Historic Site
opened its doors for tourists on Sunday
for its 2015 season.
The two-story inn – the state’s largest
log home, which was completed around
1830, hosted guests such as Andrew Jackson, Sam Houston, and, unknowingly at
the time, Jesse James, among others.
It can be easy for locals to overlook
such a historic landmark, said Site Director Rick Hendrix.
“When you live right down the road
from it and drive by it every day, and
you’ve done your (one) tour, it’s easy to
overlook it,” he said. “When it’s right next
door to you, you don’t go there every day.”
There might be reason to make another visit, however, as Hendrix and volunteers are always learning and working to
present new information about the site.
This year, Hendrix said, they hope to
open a new exhibit.
“It is our intention (this year) to open
up an exhibit in one of the summer cottages,” he said. “What my intentions are
this year are to focus on and interpret that
room as the second resort period because
we have photographs from the 1898 season. We have pictures of the summer cottages, we have pictures of the dance pavilion, we have pictures of the baseball team
that was there, bowling balls and bowling
pins – original items that were there in the
bowling alley in 1898.”
There is still the ever-popular exhibit
of how the site overcame the tornado of
2008. The exhibit was only supposed to
be there the first year after re-opening,
but it has gotten so much attention it will
be back.
“It will stay until (interest) kind of
wanes, and we will (then) have that as a
revolving exhibit room,” Hendrix said.
“Last year, we had the Wynne family slave
life exhibit that opened up that the students from MTSU did.”
If one has not been to Wynnewood
since the tornado hit, there are reasons
to return as more rooms are available
for touring and more artifacts have been
found.
“When the tornado came and decimated the place, there were live-in caretakers
on site that occupied some of the rooms,
and they’re not here anymore,” Hendrix
said. “There were two key rooms in the
main house itself and the dining room –
the oldest structure on the site – it was the
first time in almost 100 years that it was
actually made accessible to the public and
it was restored back to its original appearance.”
Wynnewood, completed around 1830, was mineral springs resort and the home of A.R. and Almira
Wynne. It hosted such famous people as Andrew Jackson, Sam Houston, and Jesse James.
Wynnewood Site Director Rick Hendrix plays the harmonica as Mark and Debra Lewis provide musical
entertainment at Wynnewood’s opening for the 2015 season Sunday. Robin DeVilling looks on.
nothing visually different to see – we’re always striving to dig deeper into the history of the place to give a different and fresh
approach and tell people we’ve discovered
this (previously) unknown treasure or
this unknown story.
“But, we also found artifacts from the
clean-up. In one room, the floor needed to
be repaired, and when they took out the
damaged wood, we found shoes – not left
and right, but it dated back to when they
just wore square shoes – medicine containers, a slave manacle, a gaming stone,
and more. We never would have known
they were there – the state wouldn’t have
allowed us to look there.”
It is all just a part of the passion Hendrix and others share about the history of
Castalian Springs.
“We’re always striving to give a more
accurate interpretation of the place when
we tell the story,” he said. “We really want
to get into the nuts and bolts and try to
figure out how to make it as accurate of
an account as we possibly can. We strive
to make it a personal experience that everyone can enjoy.”
Wynnewood is open to the
public March-November
from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Wed-Sun outside of major
holidays. Admission is $5
for adults; $4 for seniors,
and $3 for children 6-12
While trying to restore the site after
the tornado required an enormous effort,
it also allowed Hendrix and others to do
more research.
“When we were closed for those four
years, we really started digging through
4,000-5,000 documents, and we were
continuously finding more information,”
Hendrix said. “We’re constantly finding
through letters (and) through documents
things that clarifies the story more so
when people come – and even if there is
FIRE CHIEF I cont’d from A1
entire force then and now
they have about 20 people
per shift.
As a newcomer, Crook
started at the bottom of the
totem pole and worked his
way up.
“I started out riding the
tailboard of the engine –
that’s when you could ride
on the back end of the fire
truck before they passed the
laws where everybody had to
be in an enclosed cab and all
that, (and) I later went up to
engineer.”
Crook was eventually
promoted to Assistant Fire
Chief, a role he held for 32
years before he was promoted to Fire Chief after the
passing of former Chief Joe
Womack in 2006.
In a way, Crook said,
things were more hectic in
his earlier years.
“Back in the old days, it
wasn’t nothing to sometimes have two or three
houses a day. They were old
houses. (The) wiring was
bad, everything else was
bad. It’s a lot better now – a
lot better buildings.”
Another
improvement
Crook has seen over the
course of his career is in
technology and equipment.
One example he cited was
thermal imaging cameras.
“It makes it a lot easier to
find people in the smoke,”
he said. “We didn’t have that
(before) – we just had to
hunt and feel for them.”
When asked about memorable calls, Crook said none
in particular stood out, but
he mentioned during the interview a fire at Hancock Tobacco, which is now the strip
mall that houses Haynes Realty.
“It went almost to Byron’s, which is now Rich’s
Foods,” he said. “It was pretty much gone by the time we
got there. There was a guy
running a hose who went
down the service alley and
was trying to hook up to a
hydrant, and the walls were
falling down on him. I can’t
tell you what year it was, but
I remember it being February 18th or something like
that.”
No one, Crook said, was
hurt.
The tornado of 2006 was
another memorable event.
“We were all at the hall
(Fire Station #1) watching
it, but we couldn’t tell where
it was until the phone rang,”
he said. “The sun was shining, and then it all turned
dark. It was a mess after it
hit – (afterwards) we had
people coming from out of
town to help us.”
His other memories were
more general in nature.
“I know we’ve been to
some wrecks and things like
that and you’d think, ‘How
in the world did that happen
and how did they get out of
that with hardly getting a
scratch on them?’” he said.
“And then you’d see some
cars with very minor damage and people got killed in
them.”
Crook said the accomplishment of which he is
most proud is not in response to a particular incident, but in teaching
children through the department’s clown troop.
“The guys came to me and
I said, ‘Okay, that will work,’
and they all pitched in on it
and it has worked out quite
well. We have reached about
4,500 kids a year teaching
them fire prevention and
what to do in the case of a
fire,” he said. “It’s been wellreceived by students and
teachers and parents and
principals and everybody
else, and we know it works.”
Crook cited an example –
the troop once went to Portland to perform and one of
the students in attendance
had a fire at her home that
very night.
“The little girl told everybody to go to the mailbox
and meet out there, and
that’s what we try to teach
them to do in the fire prevention class – go to a safe
place and make sure you’ve
got everybody there, and
that’s what they did,” he
said. “One of the Portland
firefighters asked her, ‘What
are y’all doing standing here
at the mailbox?’ and she
said, ‘That’s what the clowns
told me to do.’ So we know it
works.”
Crook is also proud of the
condition of the department
he is leaving behind.
“There’s a bunch of good
men and women up there –
they’re well-trained and they
know what they’re doing,”
he said. “They’re good people and it’s in good shape. It
was a good ride and it had to
come to an end some time.”
While Crook’s ride at the
fire department has come
to an end, he is looking forward to another ride.
“I’m waiting on the warm
weather to come so I can
ride my motorcycle,” he said.
“I have one...that has two
wheels in the front and one
in the back, and I spend a lot
of time riding around on it
during the summer.”
Crook said he also looks
forward to spending more
time with his wife of about
25 years, Vicki, and watching his grandson play baseball and basketball.
Meanwhile, he will also
hang on to that spot in his
heart for the men and women with whom he served the
city during his time with
the fire department, as well
as the citizens who he has
helped during his career.
“I’m sure I will miss it,” he
said.

Council moves forward with development, including 444unit apartment complex, near Station Camp schools
Body still concerned over pedestrian safety
By JOSH NELSON
Gallatin News
The Gallatin City Council unanimously gave preliminary
approval Tuesday night to a development which would include residential and commercial buildings across the road
from the schools on Big Station Camp Boulevard.
The proposed development would involve nearly 47 acres
and would include a 444-unit apartment complex behind
five commercial buildings which would face the road.
The main concerns for the council were traffic and the
safety of a crosswalk for pedestrians since several school
children would have to cross the street and a greenway runs
through the area.
“My concern is that’s going to be a pretty major crosswalk
on a busy street,” said Vice-Mayor and District Four Councilman Craig Hayes, who represents the area.
He asked both City Engineer Nick Tuttle and those involved in the development about the design of the crosswalk.
Tuttle said there has not been a design submitted to the
city yet, as such documents are normally presented in the
final proposal rather than the preliminary one, which was up
before the council Tuesday night.
Charlie Lowe, with Ragan-Smith Associates, admitted
the crosswalk has not yet been designed, but he said the firm
for which he works is very aware of the council’s concern.
“This is going to be recognized as a much-used crosswalk,”
he said, “and since it is not only a crosswalk that will be used
for the schools, but a crosswalk that will be used for the greenway, it’s a high asset, high value crosswalk commanding
the need for tremendous safety.
“We’re not just talking about paint on the street – it’s going to be established as a well-seen, well-lit, well-signed, and
well-constructed crosswalk. It’s going to command an extra
level of attention.”
When asked if he foresees a need for a traffic signal at the
site in question, Lowe said according to their traffic studies,
“it appears that a traffic signal will be warranted when there
is full build-out.”
He said that may be around the year 2025 and added that
a traffic signal could not be put in place until the volume of
traffic warranting it is already there – it is not done in advance in anticipation of traffic.
Hayes wanted a little more commitment from the developers.
“I don’t want to say, ‘Okay, do this,’ and then two years
from now we come back as a city and we’ve got to spend
$500,000 or $1 million to improve that road when we could
have gotten (the developers) to contribute to it,” he said.
At-large Councilman Ed Mayberry asked whether something could be done before the expected 2025 threshold.
“If some kind of electronic signalization was necessary at
that crosswalk – I’m not talking about a red light, but a yellow caution light or something like that to slow traffic down,
are you willing to take care of that?” Mayberry asked Lowe.
Lowe assured Mayberry they would.
The matter is expected to come up for final approval at
the council’s meeting on April 7, 2015.
A public hearing on the proposed development is scheduled to take place before the possible vote of the city council
that night.
“My concern is that’s going to be a pretty
major crosswalk on a busy street.”

Mayor announces office
after-hours and other
city council news….
By Josh Nelson
Gallatin News
Gallatin Mayor Paige Brown will hold a “Mayor’s
Office After-hours” on March 24 from 4:30-6 p.m. so
citizens can share their ideas and concerns with the
mayor on a one-on-one basis.
Brown made the announcement at the city council’s meeting Tuesday night.
“Certainly, anyone is welcome to contact our office
at any time,” Brown said. “We just understand it may
be difficult for people who work in a different city...
and if you can’t make that and you need to make other arrangements, I’m happy to do that as well. Just
contact our office and we’ll certainly do that.”
In other action at Tuesday night’s meeting, the
council:
*Unanimously gave final approval to spend over
$1.9 million for the extension of GreenLea Boulevard from Hwy 386 to Long Hollow Pike. Most of
the money is going to come out of the general fund,
but just over $500,000 of it will come from unspent
money from the city’s last bond issuance which was
initially aimed to be spent on work towards a new
fire hall on the south side of the city and playground
equipment. The vote took place without discussion;
*Unanimously gave final approval to spend
$10,000 to repair the chimney at Rosemont;
*Unanimously gave final approval of a measure to
give $40,000 to the Gallatin Chamber of Commerce
to market the city;
*Unanimously gave final approval of an ordinance
to waive tap fees for Habitat for Humanity projects;
*Unanimously gave final approval for the Public
Utilities Department to spend $600,000 for gas line
construction. The money for the projects will come
out of the reserves of the Public Utilities Department;
*Unanimously gave approval to resolutions appointing Michael Wertenberger, Jr., to the Gallatin Industrial Development Board and the Gallatin
Health Educational and Housing Facilities Board
and appointing Pam Ogden to the Gallatin Industrial
Board and Gallatin Health Educational and Housing
Facilities Board.

OPEN RECORDS I cont’d from A7
access to those records.
“I run a hotline so I talk to citizens and journalists across the state,” Fisher said. “We have
seen sometimes when someone asks for copies of records that labor fees are attached to
making those copies and sometimes [those charges] can be quite large. I saw one this week
that was $1,600 and sometimes even $100 can be prohibitive for some people…We would
not want a situation where fees could be inflated and essentially cuts off access.”
The level of tedious labor required to prepare documents to be reviewed is also a concern
of Bennett’s who said a big part of the proposed labor fees come into play when government
workers have to delete personal information from prepared documents.
“One of the big problems is that there are a lot of materials in those records that have to
be redacted under the law and have to be marked out before they can be shown to anyone,”
Bennett said. “They take a significant amount of staff time.”
While the debate continues over open records policies, Fisher feels that there are some
alternatives to the policy changes that could improve the efficiency with which records are
requested and viewed.
“I do believe that there are ways to reduce some of the cost to the government agencies to
fulfill requests by basically talking with the person requesting the records to better identify
the records they really want,” Fisher said. “I think there’s a lot of waste going on where there
could be more efficiency if there was some conversation in the beginning about the specific
requests.”
As for Bennett, he said he feels that the point of these changes are to keep local governments from not being able to afford the cost of processing and preparing the public records
for review.
“The point is it is costing us,” Bennett said. “For the most part there’s no big deal, but
when you have somebody come in on a fishing expedition and they want to see a whole lot of
records, obviously they are entitled to see them, but again it does take a tremendous amount
of time and effort to get the records ready for viewing.”

A Student’s Perspective: Station Camp’s record breaking season comes to a close
By RUSSELL VANNOZZI
Gallatin News
There was a feeling of excitement and nervousness in the air
at Station Camp High School on
Tuesday. As a Station
Camp
senior and an
intense basketball fan,
I was counting down the
hours until
the
tip-off
of the secVANNOZZI
tional game
between Station Camp and Brentwood. School just could not seem
to get over quickly enough. Many
students that I spoke with throughout the day seemed to feel the same
way. Tickets to the game were even
pre-sold during lunch hours so that
students could be guaranteed entrance.
The Tribe, Station Camp’s student section, urged everyone to
arrive early. Tribe members knew
Brentwood fans would make the
trip despite the hour drive. A recent video of the Brentwood student section went viral on the Vine
App, garnering nearly two million
views. The video showed Brentwood’s students filling up an entire
side of their gym, an incredible feat
for any high school team. I arrived to gym 40 minutes before tip-off and was immediately
greeted by a full Tribe section. My
excitement built from there. As
I looked up throughout the students, I noticed a number of kids
from other schools in the area. To
see fans of rival opponents cheering for your school’s team was a
welcomed sight.
The teams soon came out for
pregame warmups. Students in the
Tribe began to scout out the opposing Bruin squad, who fired swish
after swish in the shoot around. “(Brentwood) can really shoot
the ball well. We must contain their
outside shooters to have a chance
in this game,” fellow senior classmate Sam Vinson remarked. The energy level in the gym at
tip-off was unreal. The stands were
nearly filled to capacity, bringing
back memories of the John Jenkins days. Station Camp got off to
solid start and the Tribe was absolutely roaring. The student section
kept up the chants and encouragement throughout the game, even as
Brentwood began to pull away.
At halftime, there was clearly
some frustration amongst the Station Camp crowd.
“We have to put the ball in the
paint, there’s no need to force the
outside shots,” senior football player Trevor Cabler mentioned.
Station Camp stayed in the
game and the Tribe energy level
stayed fairly high. It was not until
late in the third quarter that I began to notice shrugged shoulders
and concerned faces. Brentwood
seemed to be outplaying the Bison
on this particular night.
The Bison faithful leapt to their
feet when Yalen Reed converted
on a three point play in the fourth
quarter. Unfortunately, the excitement was short-lived, and the Bruins stayed out in front to take the
road victory.
Personally, this loss was a heart
breaker for me. I could not bear
to watch the Brentwood fans celebrate their win and state tournament berth on our home floor. I
was completely unprepared for the
emotions that came with walking
out of the school gym after watching my final game as a student at
SCHS. Senior golfer Grant Thorpe put
the season in perspective after the
tough loss.
“After having such a disappointing football season, it was great to
have such a tremendous basketball
team. They had an awesome run,
and this team definitely made my
senior year,” Thorpe said.
My personal disappointment
quickly turned into appreciation
for what a great season it was. I
have been following Bison basketball since elementary school and
have seen many different types of
teams put on the Bison uniform. There have been several solid Station Camp teams before, and obviously the great Jenkins comes to
mind when Bison basketball history is brought up. But for this year’s
Station Camp team, there is simply no comparison. The team finished with a 30-5 record, the best
in school history. Their wins came
in bunches as the Bison reeled off
14 straight victories before the
Brentwood loss. The teamwork and
hustle that was displayed by Station Camp throughout the season
was impressive to watch. Nearly as impressive as the Station Camp team was the crowd that
followed them to every match-up. Whether the game was at home
or at places such as Mt. Juliet and
Portland, the Tribe often showed
up in full force. At many schools
around the country, seniors have
checked out and are marking off
the days until graduation. The repeated strong showing of the Tribe,
which included numerous upperclassmen, speaks to the strong
school spirit that is beginning to
build at 1040 Bison Trail. Head Coach Seth Massey and his
team should be applauded for their
history-making season. Under the
direction of Massey, SCHS has built
not just a basketball team, but a
program that is consistently winning games. Although star seniors Kyle Anderton and Shivonta Perry will
be lost to graduation, the Bison
will return a wealth of talent for
the 2015-16 season. Rising seniors
Reed and Keaton Dotson will likely lead Station Camp, while Kody
Eden, Chase Freeman, Thomas
Zazzaro, and others will provide
a solid supporting cast. With the
freshman team also winning the
9-AAA District tournament this
season, the future appears bright
for the Bison. Don’t look now, but
Station Camp is building a program
that may produce solid teams for
years to come. JPII boys lacrosse team looks to build on last year’s success
By BOB PAGE
JPII Boys Lacrosse head coach
2014 proved to be another successful year for the Pope John Paul
II boys lacrosse team, the seventh
consecutive winning season for the
team.
Adjusting to the loss of a talented
senior class that provided the foundation for the 2011 state championship, the 2014 squad finished with
an 8-7 record.
Senior
tri-captains
Luke
Price, Travis Carroll and David
Campeotto provided great leadership under which the team and individual players experienced measurable improvement over the course of
the season.
Offensively, the 2015 team is
looking to generate consistent scoring from the attack and midfield
positions. Peter Thomas, a senior
attackman, led the Knight’s offense
last year, posting 44 goals and 25
assists earning him a top 10 ranking in the state for both goals and
total points and all-league honors.
Thomas will quarterback a 2015 attack with returning starters Chris
Byrne (junior) and Josh Ward
(sophomore) that ranked highly
statewide in goals and total points,
respectively.
At midfield, returning starters Jon Knox (junior), Thomas
O’Berry (Captain-senior), Jon
Layne (sophomore), and Riley
Southard (junior) are expected to
provide the nucleus of a more offensive minded squad. Sam Tieche
(senior), Paul Hooker (senior),
Clay Nieman (junior), Kenner Lycan (sophomore) and David Thomas (sophomore) led the JV squad to
memorable wins over Baylor, Father
Ryan and Ensworth last year and are
well positioned to compete for a role
at the varsity level in 2015.
On the defensive side of the field,
Sam Gould (Captain-senior) along
with returning starter Matt Galvin
(sophomore) will anchor an inexperienced defensive corps. As a freshman, Galvin proved to be a quick
study on the finer aspects of ground
ball play and clearing. Athletic juniors Christopher Stinnett and
Alec Teal along with sophomores
and Zach Scott and Nick Scott
are expected to compete for playing
time and provide depth and toughness.
Senior Sean Newman will start
the season at goalie.
The Knights open the season on
Feb. 28 and will play a full schedule
through early May. The team will
travel Birmingham, Ala. for games
the first weekend of Spring Break.

Third quarter run seals
region title for Bison
By ADAM BROWN
Gallatin News
MT. JULIET -- The Station Camp boys’ basketball
team has fed off the success
of one another throughout
the course of the season.
As a result, the Bison
are subject to place a hefty,
nearly always lopsided run
on the board. In last week’s
Region 5-AAA final, Station
Camp went on a 13-5 run
in the third quarter. The
distance created proved to
be enough for the Bison to
claim a 52-43 win over Mt.
Juliet.
“The run to start the third
quarter made us play basketball,” Station Camp head
coach Seth Massey said. “I
thought it was a great game
after that. The first half was
ugly cat-and-mouse a little
bit but the second half was
great basketball by two good
teams.”
Station Camp and Mt.
Juliet played to an 11-11 tie
after the first quarter.

of the quarter on the board.
At the break, Station Camp
enjoyed a 21-18 lead.
Station Camp opened the
third with two baskets from
Chase Freeman, one from
Shivonta Perry and a steal
and basket from Anderton.
The offensive thrust gave
the Bison a seven-point lead,
30-23. Freeman and Anderton closed the quarter with
a layup and a three-pointer
respectively to create a 13-5
third quarter; giving the Bison a 35-23 lead heading
into the final period.
“When we took that lead
coming out of the second
half, it made them play from
behind,” Massey added. “It
was really the difference in
the game. I thought we shot
foul shots extremely well,”
Station Camp held on
in the final quarter to earn
their first Region title since
joining the ranks of Class
AAA. Much of their success
in the second half was attributed to the ball-handling
ability of point guard Chase
Freeman. Mt. Juliet who
implemented a press styled
defense in the second half,
could do very little to keep
pace with Freeman in the
open court.
“I know that Chase is a
sophomore, but truth be
known, we probably should
have just gotten him the
ball and got out of the way,”
Massey said. “I am proud of
the way we handled pressure
late.”

Massey also addressed
the fact that Station Camp
was playing in the third
game in as many nights and
how he felt it was a benefit
to his squad.
“It helped us because we
are playing based on principals and fundamentals,”
Massey said. “You don’t
overly game plan. I thought
playing three nights in a row
helped us.
“We shot the ball well
from the outside. They did
a good job of taking away
Kyle. We didn’t get them
a ton of free looks, but because of the way they guard
Kyle, it allowed us to have
some open looks.”
Anderton led the Bison
with 14 points, earning the
senior the Most Valuable
Player of the tournament
distinction after the win.
Reed followed with 13, Freeman had 10, Dotson had
eight, Perry had a five-point
night and Kody Eden finished with two.

Green Wave drop scrimmage against BGA
By ADAM BROWN
Gallatin News
FRANKLIN -- It was cold. It was windy.
The ground was wet. It was what you would
expect to start the preseason for the Green
Wave soccer team.
Gallatin customarily travels to Battle
Ground Academy to kick-off their preseason
schedule every season. In most cases, the
Wildcats prove to be a bit too much for the
Green and Gold. This year was no exception
as the reigning DII-A state champions handed Gallatin a 6-0 loss.
However, as lopsided as the score looked,
there was a rather pleasant Gallatin head
coach Greg Harper after the game.
“Every time we come down here, we end
up getting our rear ends kicked somehow,”
Harper said. “BGA is a really good soccer program. This year, we looked much better. I
think we gave up five junk goals. With a little
time, we make those saves. One of the best
things about tonight is that it’s the preseason
and it gives us a little time to correct some
things before the season starts.”
BGA scored the first and only goal in the
first half with 16:57 to play. Though Gallatin
trailed, it dominated in time of possession;
something Harper addressed afterwards.
“First half was great,” Harper said. “We
looked a little hesitant at times but that’s my
fault. We have to do something with the ball
when we have it.”
BGA wasted little time in the second half.
Placing their second goal of the contest on
the board with 2:58 having elapsed in the
half, BGA began what would become an onslaught of shots at the Gallatin net.
“We lost sight of what we were doing in the
second half,” Harper said. “We tried to hold
the ball a little too much. That being said, I
am not unhappy with what we did tonight.”
BGA added five goals in the second half
with their last coming with 14:15 to play. The
shot trickled in to give the scrimmage its final, 6-0.
“We have some athletes but we are still
looking for some players to step up,” Harper
concluded. “We didn’t create enough. That’s
the biggest problem. We kept great possession but then we bogged down a bit. I was
really happy in the first half.”
Gallatin is scheduled to close their preseason activities on Friday as they prepare
to host LaVergne. The regular season for the
Green Wave is set to begin March 12 against
Brentwood at home. In each contest, the
start is scheduled for 6 p.m.

SILCOX I cont’d from page A12
and Friday of this week as well as the Beech Playday to be played on Saturday.
However, Mother Nature seemingly has different plans. With the indication of
another winter blast on the horizon, the Lady Wave may very well take the field
in a game for the first time in their season opener.
“Listen,” Silcox concluded. “Every team in this district, in this state, has had
to undergo the same weather conditions we are enduring now. Everyone is on
the same playing field as far as that is concerned. We will play when we can but
until then, we will keep working hard to get better.”
If weather permits, Gallatin will face Trousdale Co on Thursday and Westmoreland on Friday before partaking in the Beech Playday held at Drakes Creek
on Saturday where they are scheduled to meet Pope John Paul II, Greenbrier,
McEwen and Ravenwood.

“I thought we had to control the
boards and keep them out of the
paint,” Station Camp head coach
Seth Massey said after the win.
“They hit some tough shots. We
didn’t shoot well but we hit some
big shots.”
While Yalen Reed owned the
paint and controlled the boards for
the Bison, Station Camp finished
the Wildcats off at the free throw
line late in the game. Reed collected eight points, nearly a dozen
rebounds and four blocked shots
for the Bison.
Station Camp drained 10-of-12
free throws down the stretch to
eventually pull away from Clarksville.
Entering the fourth quarter, the
Bison owned only a slight advantage, 37-35, but a 20-8 run in the
fourth created the distance to propel Station Camp to victory.
Kyle Anderton was instrumental in the fourth quarter effort. With a game high 19 points,
Anderton flushed eight points in
the final period, including the final three of the game from the free
throw line.
Clarksville’s Teal Young did his
best to keep his Wildcats in the
contest. His three-pointer late in
the fourth cut the Bison lead to
52-43, but it would prove to be the
final points of the night.
“Being able to get the ball inside
really helped,” Massey added. “The
main thing is just getting to the
line.”
The Bison implemented several
defenses along the way. “We wanted to mix it up and keep them off
balance,” Massey said. “They are
so big inside. We had to go with
some zone. If you’re going to play
in a tournament three nights in a
row, you are going to have to play
some zone. I’m liking zone more
and more every year.”
Behind Anderton’s 19 and
Reed’s eight, Keaton Dotson add-
ed 14, Chase Freeman had 13 and
Thomas Zazzaro rounded out all
Bison scoring with three points.

‘We lost on the scoreboard tonight,
but these guys are winners.’
By ADAM BROWN
Gallatin News
GALLATIN -- The character of a basketball team
isn’t defined by number of wins and losses collected at
the end of the season. It’s molded by its members and
their reaction to the obstacles faced throughout the
course of the year.
For the Station Camp boys’ basketball team, their
historic run ended Tuesday night against the Brentwood Bruins in the sectional tournament. The players
on the Bison team, as one might expect, took the 6046 loss hard. Tears were shed and hearts were broken
among the Bison community, but not a single member
left with his head hung with shame or guilt.
“These guys decided early on that this was going to
be about team,” Station Camp head coach Seth Massey
said after the game. “They are not playing for me; they
are playing for each other. They came together like
nothing I have never seen before. We didn’t have to
win tonight; we won two months ago when these guys
decided that this was about each other. We lost on the
scoreboard tonight but these guys are winners.”
The Bison owned a one point lead after the first
quarter. A Yalen Reed late three-point basket placed
Station Camp out in front, 12-11.
Brentwood buckled down in the second quarter, allowing the Bison only five points from the field. Reed’s
three-pointer along with a Keaton Dotson floater
proved to be the only points recorded by the Bison
in the period. By comparison, Brentwood managed a
12-point period to create a 23-17 halftime lead.
“We haven’t had to play from behind and we haven’t
had to guard a point guard as good as (Jalen) Lawson all year,” Massey said. “That’s the one thing that
I didn’t like about this matchup. Lawson makes it all
go. He is big time. We didn’t have the answer for him
all night.”
Lawson finished with a game high 24 points.
“They are deadly from three and we took that away,”
Massey said. “They beat us off the bounce.”
The Bison cut the lead to four in the third but could
not bring the point differential any closer throughout
the remainder of the contest.
The sectional appearance was the first of its kind
for any Station Camp basketball team since the Bison
joined the Class AAA rankings.
“We lost to a good ball team tonight,” Massey said.
“They have been in this game before. I think that this
is their third year in a row that they have made it to
state.
“I wanted these guys to win tonight for them, not
for me,” Massey continued. “I wanted them to play as
hard as they could because of how much they love playing together. You don’t know how refreshing that is to
come to work like that because that doesn’t happen all
the time.”
The Bison were led by Reed’s 14 points. Dotson had
10 and Chase Freeman finished the game with four.
Station Camp graduates two seniors; Shivonta
Perry and Kyle Anderton. Perry had eight points on
the night and Anderton finished with 10.
“These guys won back-to-back districts, they won
the regular season district, they won the region title
and they have won a hundred Christmas tournaments,”
Massey said of the seniors. “They are winners.”
“We can replace their skill, but we can’t replace their
intangibles that they brought to this team,” Massey
said of Perry and Anderton. “Don’t get me wrong, they
are good players, but they have big hearts. You can’t
replace what they brought in terms of leadership, character, classroom, community, team-before-me.”
Massey concluded with what he said defined the
2014-15 Station Camp boys basketball team.
“Nobody is worried about their scholarship or their
points. Nobody is worried about how many touches
they got. It is what high school sports should be. Those
are the things, to me, that have gotten this basketball
program back on the map.”
When the Lady Wave take the field in 2015, there
will be a new field general in command.
Randall Silcox has replaced the retiring Kim Kendrick as the new Gallatin High School Lady Wave softball coach this season.
Silcox, a Gallatin High School graduate, has been on
the Green Wave football staff for the past several seasons coaching the offensive line.
Though 2015 will be the first year at the helm of the
Lady Wave ship, Silcox is not new to coaching softball.
During the late 1990’s early 2000’s Silcox was a coach
on the staff at St. Benedict at Auburndale located in
Cordova.
“It’s a transition getting back into it, just like anything else,” Silcox said. “It will take a little bit of time
to get to know the girls and how they take to coaching
but we will get there.”
One of the biggest hurdles, according to Silcox, isn’t
coaching the game of softball; rather it’s learning the
differences in coaching boys and girls.
“The biggest transition is going from boys to girls,”
Silcox said. “It is really different, a total 180. I have
learned that you can’t go into a situation with the same
mentality for both. Girls are a little more delicate and
sometimes wear their emotions on their sleeves. It’s
a learning curve, but we are headed in the right direction.”
Being named to the position came in a bit of a reverse order for Silcox. Hiring of assistant coaches
came first. It wasn’t until Sean Link and Renee Workings were put in place that Silcox approached Becker
with the idea of becoming the head coach.
“I told Dr. Becker that I knew the game and was willing to tackle the duties of taking over the program,”
Silcox said. “I told Dr. Becker that I would do anything
that he needed for Gallatin High School.”
After taking the position, Silcox quickly implemented a new mentality.
“One of the first areas of concern was being competitive in every aspect of the game. I want the girls
to compete against one another,” Silcox said. “That’s
one thing that we are trying to create. Sure, we can
go to practice, hit a few balls, catch a few grounders,
but that doesn’t make us a better team. We want the
girls to be competitive in all phases of the game. We
are creating that environment. We have to have that
if we want to change the way we approach this game.”
The Lady Wave, with the season on the brink, have
completed their first offseason of strength and conditioning; something Silcox began nearly on day one.
“The girls had never done any offseason training,”
Silcox said. “Some had played travel ball but that’s not
the same as lifting and conditioning. I think that it
has really helped the girls prepare for the season.”
One of the biggest obstacles facing the Lady Wave in
2015 comes in the form of playing in District 9-AAA.
Famously known for cranking out quality teams year
in and year out, District 9-AAA contains some of the
better softball programs in the state of Tennessee.
“We know that everyone is going to be good in this
district,” Silcox said. “We don’t have to tell the girls
that; they already know it.
“What the girls lack, is a little bit of confidence. Our
girls just need to realize that they can compete with all
the teams in this district. They have put in the work.
I think that they have bought in; they have both feet
in the boat.”
Having seen their first playday fall to the wayside
due to inclement weather last weekend, the Lady
Wave are scheduled for scrimmages on both Thursday

the 2015 Apostles Build Feb. 26 at 185 S. Maple Ave. in Gallatin. This is the third annual Apostles Build in Sumner County and the home will be built for Joyce and Miles
Nickelson, a senior couple that have never owned their own home. They are currently
renting a small home in Gallatin that is over 100- years-old and in need of many repairs. It is actually the home owned by Joyce’s family as she was growing up. Miles is a disabled veteran and Joyce is a retired nurse who is currently an Assistant Pastor at First
Baptist Church (Winchester) in Gallatin. In attendance at the Ground-breaking were
Gallatin Mayor Paige Brown and Gallatin Chamber of Commerce Director Kim Myers,
as well as several habitat board members for Habitat for Humanity of Sumner County
and representatives from some of the Apostles Build churches. The Apostles Build is
a cooperative effort of 12 churches (apostles) to provide volunteers, food, financial
support, and prayer towards the project. This year’s participating churches are: Our
Lady of the Lake Catholic Church, Hendersonville; Hendersonville Church of Christ;
First Baptist Church, Gallatin; Good Shepherd United Methodist Church, Hendersonville; First United Methodist Church, Hendersonville (two groups); Generation Church,
Portland; First Presbyterian Church, Hendersonville; First Presbyterian Church, Gallatin; Freedom Church, Gallatin; Rehoboth United Methodist Church, Gallatin; and First
Baptist Church (Winchester), Gallatin. The build will begin March 12 and completed in
late May or early June.
Meet Lucy and Riley
Lucy
Riley
Riley is up for adoption and ready for his forever home.
Riley is a 12-week-old Shepherd-mix puppy that is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccines, neutered and dewormed. He
will need a rabies vaccine, but is not old enough to receive
one at this time. Riley is one of five siblings we have at our
shelter right now and the others will be up for adoption
later this week. He should be an inside pet with outside
privileges and will need regular puppy training.
Lucy is a beautiful Great Pyrenees-mix who’s roughly
2-years-old. She is housebroken, loves everyone she meets
but doesn’t get along with all dogs. Lucy is up to date on all
vaccines, tested negative for heartworms, spayed and ready
for her forever family. She has a few adoption requirements
but nothing special. Lucy will make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a large house dog. We DO NOT
allow our pets to be adopted and stuck outside or left in a
garage. They are inside here with outside privileges and we
require the same when they leave. If you have any questions, please contact our shelter at
615-822-0061. The Humane Society of Sumner County is
located at 16 Volunteer Dr. in Hendersonville; http://www.
sumnerhumane.org.
“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.

The Gallatin News
The Division of Forestry is reminding Sumner County residents that if they intend to do any outdoor
burning, they are required by state law to obtain a free burning permit. The permits are required through
May 15.
To obtain a permit call toll free 1-877-350-BURN (2876) between 8a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through
Friday. Permits are also available online for small scale debris burns by visiting BurnSafeTN.org. Online
applicants will be asked to submit the same information they would if applying by phone and will receive a
printable permit to have on hand while conducting their burn.
Permits issued cover same day burning only. For weekend burning, a permit can be obtained on Fridays
by phone. A permit can also be acquired online on Saturdays and Sundays. Permits will be issued if weather
conditions are considered safe for debris burning activity. Permit holders should also check for local restrictions as some counties and municipalities have their own regulations.
A total of 1,635 burn permits have been issued for Sumner County since Oct.15. Of those permits, 341
were issued through BurnSafeTN.org. Roy Steele, Forestry Technician, says “Landowners should be aware
of weather conditions. Don’t burn on windy days. Don’t leave fires unattended.” Debris burning should
always be done in a safe manner and is the responsibility of the permit recipient.

The Pope John Paul II
High School Choral Department recently participated
in the Middle Tennessee Vocal Association (MTVA) Choral Festival, held at the First
United Methodist Church in
Murfreesboro, TN, and came
away with straight Superior
Ratings! Two choirs participated, the Chamber Choir,
a mixed choir of 26 singers
and the Women’s Choir (42
singers). According to the
rules of MTVA, each choir
is required to sing three prepared pieces for three judges,
as well as go through a test
of sight singing skills for one
judge. Every judge, across the
board, awarded the choirs
with a Superior rating.
Mike O’Neill, the new Director of Choirs at JPII, is
thrilled to be able to carry
on the tradition of excellence
established by his predecessor, Jj Ebelhar. He said, “For
these students to persevere
through the adversity of
missing an entire week of
school, and by extension an
entire week of fine tuning
and rehearsals, is truly a testament to their dedication
and love for singing. We did
some very difficult repertoire
and I am so very proud of
their efforts and accomplishments.”

“I was afraid to have surgery before visiting Southern Sports Medicine, because of
what I had heard in the past about how hard it can be on you, but I really needed a
double knee replacement. So I went for a consultation with Dr. Gautsch w h e n
my mother recommended him to me after her own great experience. He discussed a minimally invasive procedure that could be
done. Amazingly only three weeks after surgery I was back to
mowing my mother’s yard and I’m now able to climb
back in my boat without discomfort and enjoy the
outdoors again! I’ve progressed so quickly that it
truly is amazing and it was remarkably easier than
I thought it would be to get back to living! The doctors and therapy team had me walking again quickly
and i want everyone to know that you shouldn’t put
it oơ. Go see Dr. Gautsch and his amazing team! I’m
so glad I did it!”
