Cassie Wilson, dressed as a Who from How the Grinch Stole Christmas, helped stuffed stockings on Friday at Mt. Juliet Elementary School. The 368 stockings were mailed this week by members of the Blue Star Mothers, a local chapter of a national group of military family members. According to Reba Baltz, a Blue Star Mother, 230 of the stockings will be mailed to the USS Rentz, 110 to the USS Nimitz, an aircraft carrier stationed in the Persian Gulf, and 25 to various soldiers in Afghanistan, “in the middle of nowhere.” The children stuffing the stockings are in Miss Gay’s Kindergarten and Miss

Happy 13th Birthday

Precious!

It’s no surprise that being a fi refi ghter or police offi cer can be stressful, but what is surprising and dangerous is that those public servants are at a much higher risk for heart attacks. In an effort to relieve some of that stress, one local facility is offering free screenings for public servants and their spouses. “The hardworking servicemen and women in our Nashville area communities are heroes in the eyes of the physicians at Premier Radiology and Hermitage Imaging Center,” said Kristen Nicholson with Premier. “To honor their contributions, we offer non-invasive preventative heart screening scans to

public servants and their spouses.” The Heart of a Hero program offers coronary calcium CT screenings free of charge. A cardiac scoring exam can assess a person’s risk of future heart attack. The test is quick, simple and allows radiologists to provide patients with the information that they need to keep their heart healthy and their mind at ease. Results will be provided to employees’ personal physicians. For communities interested in our health screening programs, educational fl iers and convenient scheduling is provided. “It is not surprising to learn that many of our brave fi refi ghters and police offi cers lose their lives in the line of duty - but these men and women face more risks than exposure to fi re

and heat or dangerous situations,” Nicholson said.

“Our public servants are also at increased risk for heart attacks, which can be triggered by exertion, stress, and smoke inhalation. Regular preventative screenings can help prevent these deaths and ensure healthier lives for those who protect and save the lives of others every day.” This CT exam is used as a screening tool in the evaluation of coronary artery disease. The Calcium Scoring CT scan quantifi es the total load of calcifi ed (hardened) plaque in the coronary arteries. It then compares that score to a large reference population matched to the patient’s age and sex. This study can be used as a valuable tool in conjunction with other clinical risk factors such as family history, cholesterol level, lipid profi le, etc. to help manage the care of patients at risk for coronary artery disease. Health professionals believe this technique should be used for individuals considered to be at high risk for developing heart disease. The risk factors for heart disease include:- age: men 40 or older, women 45 or older- high cholesterol- history of smoking- high blood pressure

- family history of heart disease- high stress levels- sedentary lifestyle- diabetes The scan itself only takes 10 minutes. It does not involve any injections or medications. Heroes can come in Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. Call 615-773-7237 to set up an appointment time that is convenient for your schedule. Choose what time is best and be sure to bring your ID badge with you. There will be some paperwork to fi ll out upon arrival and the patient must provide a primary care physician for the results to be sent to following the test. Screening CT exams of the heart are not intended to replace your usual routine medical evaluations, but do give you and your doctor additional information to base lifestyle changes and treatment options. “In some patients, incidental fi ndings may require follow up studies,” Nicholson noted. “There is no need for alarm. These follow up studies should be arranged by their primary care physician.” Premier Radiology is located at 5002 Crossing Circle, Suite 140, in Mt. Juliet.

The Chronicle of Mt. Juliet, November 11, 2009,

Mt. Juliet City offi cials have crafted, signed, and sent a letter to Wilson County commissioners requesting a $650,000 payment for the county’s share of the “Reverse L” road project, a letter which was read and signed at Monday night’s scheduled city commission meeting. An open letter to the members of the Wilson County Board of Commissioners was read by District 2 Commissioner and Vice Mayor Will Sellers, who led the meeting in the absence of Mayor Linda Elam. The purpose of the letter was to request the support an item on the county commission’s agenda item for consideration of the $650,000 payment to the City of Mt. Juliet. “Since the Reverse L was initially proposed several years ago considerable discussion, speculation and debate has taken place,” the letter states. “Not wishing to replay history, quite simply the project was done for one primary reason . . . to provide the students, faculty and staff of Mt. Juliet High School, a school residing within Wilson County and outside of the city, with a safe, easily accessible route serving that facility. We are confi dent each of you is fully aware of the deplorable conditions of Curd Road. A dangerously narrow, curvy road with a 90 degree turn, the Reverse L improves the only access to the school. It is within that cooperative spirit that Mt. Juliet, at its own expense improved the northerly section of Curd/Benders Ferry Roads and installed signals at Lebanon Road. “When the initial city/county burden sharing effort was proposed in early 2007, several County offi cials embraced a $950k contribution. This fi gure was derived based on the projected “best guess” costs of the time. Two years later the project was formally bided out and the actual cost, $2.8m, was lower than originally anticipated. Another signifi cant factor reducing the County’s share was Mt. Juliet’s successfully securing a TDOT 50% Local Interstate Connector Grant. The combined effects of those reduced the project’s cost and lowered the requested contribution from the County to

$650k. Highlights of Wilson County’s portion of the Reverse L includes approximately one-half of a 200’ bridge at Cedar Creek, costing $780k; $230k for water line relocation work lying completely within the County; and approximately 1600 linear feet of road pavement outside the City of Mt. Juliet. “Although the Mt. Juliet Board of Commissioners were not consulted during the process of choosing the location of the new Mt. Juliet High School, they have demonstrated their uncompromising commitment to Wilson County, its citizens and their children by thus far fully fi nancing every construction expense of the Reverse L. For the safety of our children a delay was unacceptable. At this time, barring any unforeseen challenges, the road should be open on or about 15 December. Considering the above, we the Board of Commissioners of the City of Mt. Juliet, respectfully r e q u e s t a l l W i l s o n County Commissioners, but specifi cally those representing the citizens of Mt. Juliet, to contribute their fair share towards this project.” In other safety news, commissioners discussed the possibility of speed bumps or “rumble strips” in Mt. Juliet. Mt. Juliet Police Chief Andy Garrett and Public Works Director Marlin Keel, after studying reports and suggestions from MTAS (Municipal Technical Advisory Service) and the Tennessee Department of Transportation, found that speed bumps “make more people mad than happy.” Keel noted that, from an engineering and traffi c control standpoint, traffi c calming “is a broad issue” that would require more in-depth work than current City staff can provide. “If we want to get involved we need to develop a comprehensive traffi c control plan, which is out of the range of anyone on staff,” Keel said. “We will need a consultant or a team, and I’m estimating the cost at around $20,000 to $30,000.” Mt. Juliet City Manager Randy Robertson noted that the request for speed bumps was the result of complaints from only “a few” citizens, mainly in the Mari Court area, which is a connector from South Greenhill to Devonshire,

running from West Division through Willoughby Station and Hickory Hills subdivisions. “It’s less than fi ve people complaining about a few places,” Robertson said, adding that the police responded and that area residents planned on meeting with their homeowners association and would update city offi cials at a later date. District 1 Commissioner Ted Floyd, a former Mt. Juliet police chief, remarked that he would “never support speed bumps and would go with signage and (police) enforcement.” In new business, commissioners (excluding Elam and District 3 Commissioner Ed Hagerty, who were both absent) voted 2 – 1 to amend the budget to purchase $75.00 gift cards as a Christmas bonus for City employees. District 4 Commissioner Jim Bradshaw voted against the ordinance on fi rst reading. An ordinance to annex, rezone, and approve the preliminary master development plan for Ellenwood farms, to be located on S. Rutland Road, was unanimously approved with amendments on fi rst reading. An ordinance to abandon/vacate a portion of Providence Parkway and revert the ownership of the land to the adjacent property

owners was unanimously approved on fi rst reading with amendments. C o m m i s s i o n e r s agreed to cancel the scheduled meetings on November 23 and December 28, since they are close to the holidays. In unfi nished business, a fee schedule for the building department was passed on fi rst reading by a 2 – 1 vote, with Bradshaw voting against. A resolution to approve

and authorize the mayor to sign the agreement with Piedmont Natural Gas, an easement for construction, was unanimously approved. Ordinances to authorize the city fi nance director to approve adjustments to sewer bills, to increase the Sewer Capacity Fee by $35.00, and to amend the budget to accept and expend $4,000 in donations for Halloween in the Park were unanimously approved on second reading.

In an attempt to “serve Mt. Juliet in new and creative ways,” the Mt. Juliet Parks Department, namely two interested young men, now offers another free, fun, and active pastime for local citizens: Frisbee golf. A portion of Mundy Memorial Park, located off Belinda Parkway behind the Providence MarketPlace area, has been cultivated and Frisbee golf tees, baskets and greens installed. Mt. Juliet City employees, including Parks Department Events Coordinator Tim Henson, IT Director Travis Taylor, and

Mt. Juliet Police Department Offi cer Allen Carver, visited area Frisbee golf courses in Hendersonville, the Cedars of Lebanon Park, and beyond to craft ideas and the layout for the course, which consists now of nine holes. “It’s fun, and it doesn’t take up a lot of room for a course,” Carver noted, tossing around the Frisbee on Monday afternoon with his wife, Lavonne. “We (he and Henson) went to some local courses and thought it would be something fun for Mt. Juliet. There was no reason not to. Tim already had the golf baskets, so we got together and made it happen.” Henson noted that the green space behind the softball fi elds at Mundy Park had been a dead spot for years and was “the perfect spot” for a Frisbee golf course. The layout includes water hazards (a small stream) and even stretches back into the surrounding forest area for additional challenges and fun. The greens range from 125 – 278 feet.

Carver explained that it is a Par 3 course, with the same rules and principles as regular golf. He suggested that, like golf, people should be quiet when others are teeing off and give another player room when approaching the disk basket or “hole.” He said that the Frisbees are inexpensive – ranging from $5 - $20 – and it’s free to play. Players should park in the main lot and take the walking trail around the softball fi eld to the back area. Henson said if there is a good response from the community the course could be expanded to 18 holes. “It was really exciting, coming up with the design,” Carver said. “And it’s just one more inexpensive way to get outside and have some fun with your friends and family.” Henson said that while the course is open for play now, a grand opening will be held at noon on Friday, November 27. For more information call the Parks and Recreation Department at 615-758-6522.

Come create your holiday cards and assist a family in need. On Saturday, November 21, from 10 am to 3 pm, Rooms 105A&B, St. Stephens Church, 14544 Lebanon Rd, Old Hickory, a rubber stamping fundraiser will be held to benefi t Ethan Lee. Participants will stamp 10 holiday cards which they can take home or donate to Ethan’s family. Participants may also choose to donate funds or preorder their completed cards for pickup on the day of the fundraiser. The cost of the card event is $15 per person. RSVP requested by November 11. On the day of the fundraiser, there will also be a silent auction of various items. Donations are now being accepted for the auction. To reserve your seat, preorder your cards or make a donation, please contact: Janice Jones ([email protected]), 615-773-6194 (h) or 615-202-3203 (c) or Sarah Howell ([email protected]), 615-754-6305(h) or 615-293-7715(c) A little more about Ethan: Ethan was born with a condition known

as Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, (HLHS for short). Basically, he was born without the left side of his heart. He had his fi rst surgery when he was 3 days old. While they were closing him up a few days later he suffered a cardiac arrest and had a stroke. He then started to suffer from seizures. A month later he was able to go home. Six months later Ethan had the second part of the surgery and it went well. He then had a feeding button put in. At age 3 he had the fi nal stage of the surgery and it did not work as expected. He required an additional surgery to place a

pacemaker. A year later he went into heart failure and was placed on the transplant list. He received his new heart in August of 2008. He has gone through several episodes of rejection but now is doing better. Because of his heart, his immune system is kept really low, so that makes him more susceptible to everything. Last year Ethan’s Dad lost his job which makes caring for Ethan more of a challenge. The funds raised will be used to assist with Ethan’s medical needs, including items not covered by insurance such as special inserts for his shoes and weekly therapy.

MJHS Class of ‘49 celebrates 60 year reunion


It has been said that all good things must come to an end. Even football seasons. Mt. Juliet’s glorious 2009 season came to a screeching halt Nov. 6 as defending Class 5A state champion Oakland throttled the high-powered Bear offence and came away with a 19-14 win in the fi rst round of the TSSAA Class 6A playoffs. The loss ended Mt. Juliet’s year at 9-2 overall with losses to Beech in Week 10 and to Oakland after opening up with nine consecutive victories. The Patriots staked themselves to an early 9-0 lead by trapping Mt. Juliet quarterback Reed Gurchiek in the endzone for a safety with 7:23 left in the fi rst quarter. Following the ensuing free kick, Oakland tailback Tee Mayberry sprinted 48 yards from scrimmage for a 9-0 Patriot lead with 7:04 left in the fi rst. MJ answered with a sustained drive ending with a one yard plunge by fullback Brady Earnhardt with 4:46 to go in the fi rst.Oakland padded its lead to 12-7 at intermission on a 28 yard fi eld goal by Trevor Hornsby. MJ got back on the board with a well-executed nine-play, 83 yard drive that ended a two yard run by Chris Brazile. Following Tyler Emmetts’ PAT, the Bears trailed 19-14. Oakland’s ensuing possession ended with a missed fi eld goal attempt and the Bears took over at their own 46. With roughly seven minutes left in the game, MJ maneuvered close enough

for a couple of passes into the endzone, neither of which connected. Oakland took over and ran out the fi nal six-plus minutes of clock on 12 straight running plays. The Patriots ran the ball 58 times for 289 yards (4.9 per attempt) and completed 6-of-9 passes for 73 yards with one interception. All told, Oakland reeled off 67 plays for 356 yards in total offense and 17 fi rst downs. MJ mustered only 38 offensive snaps, 18 rushes for 104 yards (5.7 per) and completed 10-of-20 passes for 147 yards. The Bears fi nished with 251 yards in offense and seven fi rst downs. Brazile led MJ with 73 yards rushing on fi ve tries with a touchdown. Earnhardt added four carries for 17 and a score. Gurchiek completed

10-of-20 passes for 147 yards. His top receiver was Vaughn Cornelia with seven receptions for 104 yards. Corderius Burns and Zach Bush led the Bears with eight tackle apiece. Kevin Poindujour intercepted an Oakland pass while Hunter Locke recovered a Pat fumble. Inelli Charles was in on six tackles, including a quarterback sack. Oakland (9-2) advances to the second round of the playoffs and will play at 8-3 Cookeville Friday, Nov. 13.

Mt. Juliet Elementary is the fi rst school to launch the Soles4Souls Think Kindness challenge in the Nashville area. Soles4Souls is a Nashville based non-profi t that has given away over 5.5 million pairs of shoes within the last fi ve years to children and families in need. They have partnered up with youth motivational speaker and 4th degree black belt Brian Williams, to design a program that comes at no-cost to schools and inspires children to incorporate kindness into their daily lives. “ O u r organization is fueled by the seemingly simple acts of kindness of others. Something as simple as donating a used pair of shoes can truly change someone’s life,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. Williams opens the challenge with an action packed martial arts speech with back fl ips and a brick breaking routine. “In martial arts I

learned that kindness is the ultimate form of self-defense. Yet, when you do nice things for others, you open yourself up to be teased for doing the right thing. I tell students to have no fear and to be committed to being good

people no matter what. Martial arts serves as an avenue to truly speak to the students,” Williams said. Soles4Souls and Williams didn’t want to just create a 1-hour program, but one that truly inspires children to get off the couch and make a substantial difference in the world. At the

end of the speech, Williams challenges students to change the world ‘from the feet up.’ Mt. Juliet Elementary school has been challenged to collect as many gently used shoes as they can for

children and families in need. The challenge is for the students to document over 5,000 Acts of Kindness in a two week period. Mt. Juliet will be in competition against more than 50 schools that have already booked the program. The entire school is given drop boxes, parent letters, Acts of Kindness J o u r n a l s ,

morning announcement CD’s, and teacher packets with idea’s submitted by teachers from across the country. “If we can inspire every child in our local community to do kind things, then our world will

truly be made a better place. We use shoes as the catalyst to teach the ever important life skill,” Elsey said. For more information about the program visit www.GiveShoes.org

Refl ections from anOld Friend

Driving is a very serious business With a rash of recent tragic car crashes in mind and the loss of innocent lives, I wanted to remind all motorists of the importance of good driving techniques and seat belt usage. As we all know, our roads grow more and more crowed everyday. As a result, the need for safer driving habits and techniques grows more and more apparent. We now have more walkers, bicyclers and motorcycles to deal with on our roadways and as a result, the need to be more aware has never been more important. This time of year also seems to bring out more vehicles that are not permitted on state roadways, highways and city and county streets. You’ll see everything from go karts and dirt bikes, to battery and motorized scooters. Although fun to ride, these devices are only permitted for off road uses. Most of these devices are usually given at Christmas. Because of the dangers of driving and the seriousness involved, we simply can’t afford the loss of any life. Life is much too precious to take chances with while driving. Most drivers use safety belts, but as you can tell, the majority of drivers not wearing safety belts are either seriously injured or killed. Unfortunately, we focus on the number of lives lost and not the lives changed. Some lives are forever changed because of the loss of a loved one. Some lives are changed because of the life altering injuries sustained from car crashes. These are the lives you don’t hear about. When you aren’t directly affected by the loss of a loved one the affects are short lived. Sort of like fl ipping through the channels on your television and hearing about a tragedy, you think about it for a short period of time and then move on with your life. But to those that are directly affected, the loss is forever and must be dealt with daily. As adults and parents we must do all we can to prepare ourselves and our families to be safe while traveling the roadways. Driving an automobile is one of the most dangerous things we do on a daily basis. It’s often taken for granted because we do it daily. We’ve all been in near miss situations while driving. Most of us have been in life or death situations and didn’t even know it. For example: we’ve had drunk or drugged drivers behind, beside or in front us.As we all know, driving an automobile is a very serious business. We can’t afford to take any chances while driving. Just because we’ve done it for years or simply got away with near miss situations, doesn’t mean the same will hold true the next time. Our lives are fragile and must be handled with kid gloves. Please don’t take chances while driving, your life means too much. And please remember that all that separates you from serious injury and even death is painted lines on the roadway.
