Several Mt. Juliet homeowners are upset about an homeowners association set up in their subdivision against their will, and the matter is scheduled to go to court – again – soon in Wilson County. According to Saddlewood subdivision resident Lisa Rich, a company called Paragon Management Group (PMG) was called in several years ago to set up an HOA although many of the Saddlewood residents don’t want it.

Writers from across the state gathered at Cumberland University Friday, June 13, and Saturday, June 14, to share and learn from noted authors at the Tennessee Writers Alliance ‘09 WordFest. Friday’s sessions featured Wilson County’s own Leon Alligood, who spoke to a packed room on multi-media presentations. Wyatt Prunty, professor and

director of the Sewanee Writers Conference, fl ew in from the University of the South for a Friday and Saturday session on poetry, both well-attended. Editor Kathryn Knight and agent Etta Wilson read and critiqued the fi rst pages of manuscripts brought by conference participants. This session is always a favorite and was also packed. On Friday evening, participants moved from the Cumberland campus to Sherlock’s Book Emporium

in Lebanon, where owners Steve and Patty Guynn provided a reception for TWA participants. It was a perfect evening for music and camaraderie, and both were in abundance, as Jim Phiffer and Friends played in the courtyard while TWA members chatted with featured authors William Gay and J. Wes Yoder. Yoder and Gay did two readings from their works in the Sherlock’s theater and answered questions afterwards. Several members also took advantage of open mic readings as well. Saturday was packed with events, as J. T. Ellison and Eric Wilson spoke at both morning and afternoon

sessions, while Whitney Ferre’ hosted a morning session on creativity and Wyatt Prunty an afternoon on poetry. Eric Wilson presented the keynote address during the luncheon in historic Baird Chapel, where the group dined on Southern fried chicken, almondine green beans, herbed red potatoes, and apple pie. Songwriter Ron Block wrapped up the conference in the Heydel Fine Arts Center, along with his friend, singer/songwriter Randall Goodgame, on piano. Block is a long-time member of Allison Krauss & Union Station, and he treated the audience to a performance his Dove-award winning

song, “A Living Prayer,” among other selections. Personal connections and networking is a primary draw for the writers conference, and there were many at this year’s event. For example, Etta Wilson was formerly the librarian at Castle Heights Military Academy and at Mt. Juliet High School, and she re-connected with friends Dorothy Jenkins and Dr. Bobbie Speck. Likewise, Kathryn Knight had been a college student of Wyatt Prunty’s at Virginia Tech and was thrilled to see him again. Gaye Hawks visited with friends Ron and Sandra Block throughout the day. Professor Randy Mackin from Middle Tennessee State University was instrumental in bringing both Wyatt Prunty and William Gay to the conference and was glad to spend time with them. S e v e r a l t e a c h e r s a t t e n d e d the event from Manchester, as well as Montgomery, Smith, and Wilson counties and commented that the workshops were ideal for professional development. Participants were overheard to say that the Cumberland campus was a perfect place for the conference, and there were already those anticipating next year’s event.

Mt. Juliet city commissioners approved the city’s fi scal year 2009/2010 budget Monday night and ended the discussion on a high note: with $75,000.00 added to the fund balance, the projected balance at year’s end will be a projected $1.375 million. “I’m going to give you every confi dence in the world that we’re going to exceed one million,” Mt. Juliet City Manager Randy Robertson said. He added that the budget does not refl ect estimated sales tax revenues from Wal-Mart, Aldis or any other “big box” retailers, only what the commission included for the opening of Lowe’s, projected to open next month. The budget was amended several times and discussed at length. Mayor Linda Elam made the motion to amend the conservative number to increase the estimated fund balance by $75,000.00 up to $1,972,308.07, seconded by District 4 Commissioner Jim Bradshaw, and the commission voted unanimously on the amendment. An amendment suggested by District 3 Commissioner Ed Hagerty to remove the ½ cost of living pay increase plus ½ merit increase based on performance would proposed 1% performance-based raise for employees performing well was seconded by Elam. The mayor questioned the procedure used to ensure all employees are treated equally. “I want to eliminate the teacher’s pet,” she said. Robertson said employment performance is evaluation-based, and he would review the evaluations. Robertson added that he “appreciates this type of conversation” and Hagerty’s amendment. Hagerty said he hoped every employee would get the 1% on the performance-based increase. The amendment, however, was voted down 2 – 3, with Bradshaw, District 1 Commissioner Ted Floyd and District 2 Commissioner Will Sellers voting against. An amendment to have the Citizen Report, the

City’s quarterly newsletter, available only online at a savings of $12,000.00 was also voted down 2 – 3, with Bradshaw and Hagerty voting for the online-only version. Elam suggested also to reduce the quality of the newsletter to newsprint quality and have fewer pages, to be published four times a year, at a cost of approximately $10,000.00, but the motion did not receive a second and failed. H a g e r t y a l s o attempted to amend the Animal Control budget, remarking that some $400,000.00 is allocated for Animal Control “and we cut the organizations that help people.” He suggested eliminating $100,000.00 but received no second, and the motion failed. Hagerty then made a motion to “temporarily eliminate” the city codes department at an estimated cost of $80,000.00. That amendment received no second from the commission and failed. Elam made a motion to reduce the general fund expenses by an additional .003 percent of the total appropriations, which would be shy of $30,000.00, to bring the fund balance to $1 million. Sellers stated that the staff had already offered cuts. Floyd suggested removing $25,000.00 for the 2010 July 4 fi reworks celebration. By a 3 – 2 vote, commissioners approved an amendment removing $25,000.00 from the fi reworks budget, but if Lowe’s opens prior to October 2009 that amount will be added back. Bradshaw and Hagerty voted against the amendment. Bradshaw noted that he would not vote to approve the budget, although he commended City staff “for doing a great job” with the budget. He said the commission has cut over $73,000.00 from grants, which was why he would not vote to approve the budget. The budget was approved as amended on second reading by a 3 – 2 vote, with Bradshaw and Hagerty voting against. An increase in sewer rates was approved 3 – 2 on fi rst reading, with Bradshaw and Hagerty voting against. The rate increase to $1.25 will mean some

$219,000.00 for the City per year, according to Public Works Director Marlin Keel. He added that the cost for Metro Nashville to treat Mt. Juliet’s sewer is $1.6 - $1.8 million per year, in addition to the costs of maintaining and fi xing “aging” sewer and home hookups. A Board of Commissioner Procedure Manual was not approved on fi rst reading, with Bradshaw,

Hagerty and Sellers voting against it. A resolution to authorize the acceptance of the property located on Industrial Drive and the Animal Control Shelter and authorize the mayor to sign the documents to purchase and close on the Animal Control Shelter located on Industrial Drive was unanimously approved. An ordinance to

amend the FY 2008/2009 budget general fund/Animal Control by $14,650.89 was unanimously approved on fi rst reading. An ordinance to add Mt. Juliet Police Detective Greg Graves as a signer on the confi dential drug checking account was unanimously approved on fi rst reading.

Dear Editor: My family recently attended a wedding in Ga. On the way we stopped in Clayton County, GA for gas. I pulled out into intersection on yellow behind others to make left-

hand turn to get back onto interstate. The light turned Red mid-way as we were turning. (Two lanes both turning mind you) I guess we were not fast enough, and I recieved $70 ticket. Ticket arrived in my mailbox a week later with pictures that indictated I pulled out on red. Not true at all. Upset...I Googled to see if I was the only one who had this issue. Nope. Turns out that small county, population 272,217 makes a whooping 1.6 MILLION on Two of these Red Light Cameras per year. I called to state my case, and the clerk said it had just happened to her husband also. I say FOUL! Mt. Juliet can fi nd other ways of bringing in revenue. “Studies indicate that the red light camera programs operate primarily for revenue generation purposes, rather than for public safety. In fact, it does not appear that accident history plays a signifi cant role in the selection of the intersections. The available data adds further support to the contention that in order to increase revenue, the red light camera program in San Diego trapped thousands of people driving by placing cameras only at intersections with unreasonably short yellow lights, actually causing citizens to run the red lights and subjecting them to criminal prosecution. II. ANALYSIS: Empirical studies indicate that longer yellow lights allow people more time to react to changing light cycles. Consequently, placing computerized, law enforcement devices at intersections with short yellow lights can obviously result in more red light citations than can computer–

enforcement devices placed at intersections with longer yellow lights. It is the effect of the short yellow light on apparent red light running that the red light camera program in San Diego has seized upon in order to maximize revenue. The reason why short yellow lights create a trap for people driving is that short yellow lights create an “impossible to stop” zone in which a certain percentage of people approaching an intersection become caught in the dilemma of not being able to stop safely before the light turns red, and not being able to cross into the intersection without technically running a red light. Federal traffi c control standards require that a traffi c control device give drivers adequate time for a proper response. Acceptable traffi c engineering standards require that a yellow light be long enough to allow drivers suffi cient time to stop their vehicle safely at the limit line before the traffi c light changes from yellow to red. There are different methods of calculating appropriate yellow light time based on factors like road grade and approach speed. The recent traffi c engineering practice has been to determine approach speed by using the posted speed limit rather than the 85th percentile speed (the speed at which 85 percent of people are thought to be driving). However, it is more appropriate to base these calculations on the speed at which people are actually driving toward the intersection. The faster the approach speed and the shorter the yellow light, the greater the likelihood that people driving will be caught in the “impossible to stop” zone and forced to run the red light.” Jennifer HowardMt. Juliet, TN

Writer says: No red light cameras

Several Mt. Juliet homeowners are upset about an homeowners association set up in their subdivision against their will, and the matter is scheduled to go to court – again – soon in Wilson County. According to Saddlewood subdivision resident Lisa Rich, a company called Paragon Management Group (PMG) was called in several years ago to set up an HOA although many of the Saddlewood residents don’t want it. At a June 18 HOA board meeting, Rich said that HOA Board President Eddie Kirkus denied a request by homeowners to dissolve the

HOA, claiming Saddlewood has had the association “since day one.” Rich and her neighbors disagree and say the HOA was formed just over two years ago. “All of us were brought in here thinking there’d never be an HOA,” Rich said. She added that dues for inclusion in the HOA are $15 per month, but the subdivision has no amenities. She said the HOA has “just over $6,000.00 in the bank and outstanding dues of over $30,000.00.” “They maintain that the reason they want an HOA is for streetlights,” Rich said. “Based on what they have paid PMG they could have placed about half of

the lights they want without the outstanding dues.” Rich said the court case has been dismissed twice already but should be heard in Wilson County soon. The attorney representing the disgruntled Saddlewood residents, Adam Parrish, and the attorney representing PMG, Thomas Smith with Spicer Rudstrom, PLLC, of Nashville, did not return requests for comment by press time Tuesday. Board members of the HOA contacted for comment did not return calls by press time Tuesday. More information on this case will be available in the July 1 edition of The Chronicle and online at www. thechronicleofmtjuliet.com

This will be our fi rst effort to bring this body together so if you are a minister, reverend, pastor, associate, lay leader, choir director, priest, etc., please make plans to join us.” Robertson said the point of contact is Sharon Bachelier at 754-2552.

Rob Porter,

representing the developer for Bel Air at Beckwith, formally requested that the section of the site within Mt. Juliet’s planning jurisdiction

be annexed into the city at Thursday evening’s planning commission meeting. The request came during discussion of how the development would proceed. Porter requested approval of the preliminary master plan for the development and of a preliminary plat for the fi rst 13 large lots in the development. Those lots are part of the 241 acres in Mt. Juliet’s planning jurisdiction by the inter-local agreement reached earlier by the city, the county, and the City of Lebanon. The 13 large lots would be the site for 246 units of multi-family housing. This stage of the plan also includes a public park. With 29 acres along Sullivan Creek, the park would be almost the same size as Charlie Daniels Park. It also would connect with an additional 25 acres of greenway and open areas in the rest of the development. But when Planning Commission Vice Chair Luke Winchester questioned how the city could enforce the planning regulation if the property were not inside the city limits, Porter formally requested the commission to recommend annexation. The commissioners were very interested in the plans for the park. Commissioner Lori Landry said she did not want the

developer to replace play areas adjoining the apartments with a playground in the park itself, but she thought having a playground area in both places would be a good idea. Porter agreed and said the developer would be willing to do both. The plans for the park also include at least fi ve playing fi elds which could be used for soccer or possibly community league football, Porter said. He also said the developer plans to build a building, about 20 by 30 feet, to be used for restrooms, concession stands and offi ce or storage space, and the park area will have parking for 100 cars. The commission gave its recommendation to both the master plan and the preliminary plat. Both will now have to go to Mt. Juliet city commission for approval. The commission also discussed a plan to make the Town Center District Overlay regulations optional. The overlay, which has been in force in Mt Juliet for several years, places additional regulations on how property in the central part of the town can be developed. It is a set of stricter regulations in addition to the existing zoning for the area at the center of the city. Three landowners in

the district spoke in favor of lifting the regulations. Cathy Everett said she supported the change because it would allow better opportunities for development in the area involved. Pat Everett agreed, saying there had been a time when she thought it was a beautiful plan, but time had changed things. Charles McCorkle said his family has owned property in the town center for several generations, and he thinks “when the overlay was installed, the people who homesteaded the area paid the price.” However, some members of the commission said they weren’t sure the regulations should just be dismissed. Landry and Commissioner Ed Hagerty both said they would favor modifying the plan rather than removing the overlay. Commission Chair Jay Cameli, who is part of the study group which recommended removing the overlay, said that the zoning in that part of the city should, with the commission’s oversight, protect Mt Juliet from any inappropriate development. In the end, the commission asked City Attorney Jason Holleman to draft an ordinance removing or at least modifying the overlay to present to the commission at its next meeting. The commission also asked Holleman to include incentives to encourage businesses to use the Town Center Overlay as a guide to development. The commission also deferred site plans for Gardens at Providence and Silver Springs Baptist Church because the developers haven’t yet worked out all the important issues with the planning staff. Neither of the developers attended staff tech reviews that are held before their plans are presented to the commission meeting, and the commissioners said that may have been part of the problem. As a result, the commission voted to make attendance by developers’ representatives at tech reviews mandatory prior to coming before the commission.

Senator Mae Beavers, whose political career began 19 years ago when she won election to the Wilson County Commission announced today that she will be running for the position of Wilson County Mayor in the election scheduled for August 5, 2010. She served as a County Commissioner from 1990-1994 and represented West Wilson County in the Tennessee State House of Representatives from 1994-2002. She was elected to the Tennessee State Senate in 2002 and re-elected in 2006. “As important and satisfying as my work in the Senate has been, I am looking forward to coming back to Wilson County with the opportunity to lead and make a difference in the county government

that serves my friends and family.” “While I’m proud of what we have been able to accomplish in the State Legislature, I’m equally proud of the things we were able to do when I was on the Wilson County Commission. I introduced and the county commission passed the fi rst fi nancial management act in the history of the county. I served as the fi rst chairman of the Finance Committee under that act and we bought the fi rst computers for the fi nance department. We were able to go four years without raising county property taxes, and we built schools.” “I’m looking forward to coming back to Wilson County and working with the County Commission to keep Wilson County strong, to keep property taxes low, to build the schools that are needed, and to continue to recruit industry and create

good jobs.” Beavers has a Bachelor of Science degree from Trevecca Nazarene University. She worked as a court reporter and paralegal before being elected to the county commission, and more recently worked as a fi nancial advisor. In the Tennessee Legislature she was a leader in the fi ght to stop the passage of a state income tax. Since being elected to the State Senate, she has taken a leadership role, serving in this past session as the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. For more information contact Senator Beavers at 754-4632 or [email protected] Editor’s Note: This article was originally published on The Chronicle’s website, www.thechronicleofmtjuliet.com, on Monday.

How to Save Money and Have More Fun I get daily questions from folks wanting ideas on how to save money in today’s economy. When I get asked that question the fi rst thing I usually say is the very best way to save money is to spend less. At least that seems to be what works best for me. But I think of myself as conservative, while others think of me as cheap. And that’s ok, I’ve been cheap, I mean conservative all of my life, so I’m sort of used to it now. Other ways to save money are to use less electricity. For example, I usually set my thermostat to 75 or higher during the day and no lower than 74 at night. I agree; it isn’t as cold as I would really like for it to be, but it could always be a lot hotter. Think about it, if your air conditioner goes out all together 74 will seem like winter time. I also converted most of the bulbs in my house to energy effi cient bulbs. It has been said that switching one regular bulb to an energy effi cient bulb can save up to $30.00 per year. I also close the blinds to my house during the day during the summer months and open them during the winter months. This allows the sun to heat your house in the winter and the closed blinds keep it cooler during the summer. During cooler summer months I turn the air conditioner off entirely and open the windows. I will list other money savings ideas below.

• Don’t leave water running when you shave or brush your teeth. • Turn water heater temperature back. • Take cooler showers to save on energy, it’s actually even better for your skin. • Leave and use less lamps or lights during night hours while home. • Remember to turn lights off when room is not in use. • Unplug rarely used electronic devices. • Clean air fi lters regularly. • Seal all gaps around windows and doors. • Drink water while dining out instead of sodas or tea. • Turn off the television and play board games or read. • Clip coupons. • Haggle for better deals. It’s always no unless you ask. • Shave head to make you more aerodynamic ( Just Kidding) • Keep oil and air fi lters changed and tire pressure checked • Take extra stuff from trunk of car. More weight burns more fuel • Keep car clean and waxed. • Keep windows up on the interstate and down within the city to avoid using A/C • Spend your money in your own community to avoid longer drive times and taking your sales tax money to another community. • Don’t waste any of your 86,400 seconds per day. Time is money

As you can tell I could go on and on about saving money. What you save today by being more effi cient and wise you can use to dine out, go to the movies and have more fun with your family and friends. So please look at saving money on other stuff a great way to pay for a date night, a movie and new car or whatever you want. Wasting less is a great way to save and do more.
