Under Armour draws hundreds
County fixing
insurance
shortfall
Event held to attract workers, share career opportunities
By LAURIE EVERETT
The Wilson Post
With a purpose to attract talent
and share career opportunities
at its new one-million-squarefoot distribution and warehouse
facility projected to open early
2016 in Wilson County, Under
Armour held two information
sessions Tuesday.
The event took place at Mt.
Juliet High School with morning
and late afternoon sessions. If the
morning session is an indicator,
the buzz is big about working
for UA. The information session
attracted hundreds of job seekers
hoping to get a chance to work
at what is UA’s third distribution
facility in the United States.
A c c o r d i n g t o U A Vi c e
President of Global Logistics and
Distribution Tony Brown, the
company will invest more than
$100 million and will create 1,500
new jobs in this area over the next
five years.
“The facility is almost 23
football fields,” he said in an
interview Tuesday. “It’s on an
82-acre site at Beckwith Farms,
nine miles from Providence
Marketplace and 26 miles from
downtown Nashville.”
Brown said the sessions were
to announce Under Armour was
coming to Wilson County and get
the word out they are hiring.
“We wanted them to know
about our brand, and we are
driving people to our website
to apply,” Brown said. “We
introduced ourselves to some folks
at our groundbreaking in October
and this is our next step. There’s
been quite a turnout.”

he was looking for a shirt that
would wick away sweat.
“Already we are in five
continents, and the company has
grown 20 percent in the last 20
quarters, Brown said.

A potential shortfall of up to $1.2 million was
avoided when the Wilson County Commission
transferred that amount to the county’s health
insurance fund, temporarily guaranteeing the
fund’s solvency – for this year, at least.
But now the commission’s Insurance
Committee is meeting regularly to develop
a longer-range solution to the problem, such
as either channeling an additional $2 million
into the insurance fund each year or saving a
similar amount.
In fact, the committee’s chair, District
6 Commissioner Kenny Reich, says the
committee is working on solutions from both
directions while awaiting the final figures on
claims for the 2014-15 fiscal year.
“We’re looking at several different plans,”
he said in an interview Wednesday. “The $1.2
million was voted to cover any costs, but we
won’t know exactly where we stand until the
end of the budget year, on June 30.”
Bi-weekly meetings seek solutions
The committee, which has been meeting
twice a week for the last eight weeks, will
also meet again next Tuesday and on July 2 to
continue to seek long-term solutions.
“We won’t be voting on anything until
July,” Reich said. “But we want to fix this so
it will last for several years.”
He added that among the possible solutions,
the committee is negotiating with health-care
providers about lowering costs, pointing out
that the rise in costs this year has been mainly
caused by higher price tags on the same
services that were used by county employees

#ENTERTAINMENT
Local promoter bringing Nashville music to Lebanon
By SABRINA GARRETT
The Wilson Post
Singer/songwriter Shawn Lacy is just one of the
emerging artists scheduled to perform in Lebanon
next week as Vision Music Inc. presents “Nashville’s
Next Big Twang.”
The event will take place at Silverado’s East on
Friday, June 19.
Bringing some of Nashville’s top musical talent
out of the city and into venues in Wilson County
is a top priority for Vision Music President Caleb
Brock. Brock formed Vision Music with friend,
John Mires, in 2010. Their first big concert featured
Aaron Tippin at The Mill at Lebanon that same year.
This past March, they presented Daryle Singletary
at Silverado’s.
Lac y, who is originally from Pennsylvania,
moved to Nashville seven years ago to pursue a
career in music. He said he is excited to play at a
“new place” and to introduce Wilson County folks
to his music.
“I just love playing new towns and getting my
music out to different places that I haven’t been
before,” he said.
Lacy, who counts The Beatles, Creedence
Clearwater Revival and The Eagles as musical
influences, described his style as “Americana Rock.”
He is currently signed with the Erv Woolsey Agency
and was featured on Zac Brown’s Southern Ground
Music and Food Festival along with acts such as
Willie Nelson, John Fogerty and Kenny Rogers.
For more information or event tickets go to

$10.

MJPD to host Evening Edition of Coffee with a Cop
Mt. Juliet Police Department leadership
continues to laud the Coffee With a Cop
program and will soon mark the program’s
second anniversary with a special “evening
edition.”
Traditionally, the event is held on a Friday
morning; however, many citizens have
requested to have Coffee With a Cop in
the evening. After hearing the requests, the
department is going to try it out.
“This program has gone beyond my
expectations. It’s great. At every Coffee With
a Cop, the community comes out to show their
support for us, ask questions and children
even show up dressed as police officers,”
MJPD Chief James Hambrick said. “We also
continue to meet and see new faces at each
event, which is extremely important to me.
I want our community to know who protects
them, and this event gives them the opportunity
to meet their protectors face to face in a relaxed
environment.”
The evening edition of Coffee With a Cop
will be held on Thursday, June 18 from 6 until 8
p.m. at Lasaters Coffee, located at 1400 North
Mt. Juliet Road. The public is encouraged to
stop by and enjoy free coffee provided by
Lasaters Coffee.

Mt. Juliet Chamber of Commerce President
Mark Hinesley was at the event, along
with Mt. Juliet Mayor Ed Hagerty, JECDB
Director G.C. Hixson and other community
leaders.
“This is a one of a kind opportunity for
our community,” Hinesley said. “It’s a huge
deal. It’s a young, dynamic company with
everything they have to bring here. Any corner
on the United States would love to have UA,
and Mt. Juliet and Wilson County are blessed
to have such a corporate friend like them.”
Nashville’s Justin Barnhill was one of
the people who came to Mt. Juliet to learn
about UA and apply at the big trailer parked
outside the school. He attended the 30-minute
introduction.
“I’m impressed,” he said. “I’m impressed
with the company’s energy and how they can
adapt. It’s just so exciting.”

sites and four states and decided on Wilson
County.
“We loved the state and the location,” he
said. “The state was good to us and so is Wilson
County and Mt. Juliet. We love the physical
location, the proximity to a major town like
Nashville and to the airport.”
He said the facility would start receiving

December or January. Some positions to be
filled are in operations for management, entry

in past years.
“We’ve only had a few more claims this
year, but the amounts have been higher,” Reich
reported.
The county’s approximately 600 employees
are covered at no cost to themselves, but more
than half pay $180 per month in addition for their
families to be covered, County Finance Director
Aaron Maynard said. This is quite a bit lower
than county school employees pay.
No county raises for years in a row
However, as Maynard pointed out, county
employees don’t get the annual pay raises which
are mandated by the state for school employees.
Due to tight county budgets, “it has been as
long as eight years between pay increases at
times,” Maynard said.
As a consequence, most county employees
make less money than school employees do, but
they also receive health insurance at a lower rate,
the finance director said.
Deputy Director of Schools Mickey Hall
pointed out that comparing the two programs is
kind of like comparing apples to oranges. “The
budgets are totally different,” he said. In fact, the
only real similarity seems to be that both Wilson
County Schools and the county self-insure,
according to Hall.
School family plans: Over $500 more per
month
The schools have about 1,800 eligible
employees who pay $750 per year, or $62.50 per
month, for individual insurance. And less than
200 of those pay the additional $8,600 per year,
or about $716 per month, for family coverage.
Hall added that the Wilson County School
Board voted to start charging employees for
insurance three years ago when it became
apparent that the school system didn’t have
enough money in the budget to allow it to continue
providing the coverage otherwise.
Most employees want the school system to
pay more of their insurance costs, Hall said, but
even if the system only picked up an additional
$1,000 per employee, it would add up to nearly
$2 million per year.
“We’d have to get it from the county,” he said.

Wilson County History
Parting the Canebrakes — Trivia
By JOHNNY KNOWLES
Knowles
The express purpose of the writing
of this column is very simple. Many,
many people and families have moved to
Lebanon and to Wilson County from other
places who have absolutely no knowledge
of our local history, how we came to be, or
who and what we are.
Long gone are the valued historians
such as I.W.P. Buchanan, G. Frank Burns,
Dixon Lanier Merritt, J. Bill Frame,
Virginia and Dick Lawlor, Eugene Sloan,
Hugh Walker, Ellen Schlink, Herman
Eskew Jr., Paul Wooten and many others.
Trivia: How did Barton's Creek achieve its' name?
Answer: "Somewhere among the very early parties of
hunter-trapper-explorers, there came into what was to be
Wilson County, a man named Samuel Barton. He came
and went and came again. He was more acquisitive than the
others. Not only did he bestow his name on Barton's Creek,
but he acquired extensive land holdings along the course of
the creek, and elsewhere. Barton may have come first as early
as the Henry Scraggins party of 1765. This party conducted
extensive explorations-the most extensive so far-throughout
this region. One year later came Daniel Boone, with his
kinsman Samuel Calloway. They came again another year,
all of this before any of their exploits in Kentucky." HISTORY
OF WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, Chapter I, by Dixon
Lanier Merritt, Page 3. Goodspeed's History of Tennessee,
in a sketch of Daniel J. Barton, the grandson of Samuel and
at the time a Trustee of Wilson County, says:
"Samuel Barton was a native of Virginia and came to
Nashville when there were but four families residing in the
place. Later, after taking a leading part in the settlement of
Nashville, Samuel Barton came back to live and to die and
to leave numerous progeny in Wilson County." HISTORY
OF WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, Chapter I, by Dixon
Lanier Merritt, Page 5.
More Trivia: How did Spencer Creek achieve its' name?
Answer: "It was not until 1776 that there came the greatest
of all the hunters-greatest physically that is-Thomas Sharp
“Bigfoot” Spencer, (born March 29, 1754 in Virginia, died
April 1, 1794, in Tennessee). Having heard from his neighbors,
Kasper Mansker and Anthony Bledsoe, of the rich lands and
the abundance of big game, he came here from his home in
Virginia in the spring of 1776. He came almost alone. There
was with him a man named Holliday, but he did not stay long.
Holliday became dissatisfied, and wanted to leave and to
return home to Virginia. When they had said their “goodbyes”
and were preparing to part, Holliday discovered that he had
lost his hunting knife, whereupon Spencer broke his own
knife in half and gave half of his knife to Holliday." EARLY
HISTORY OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE, BY EDWARD
ALBRIGHT Chapter 9, 1908. Spencer lived for the last year
(1779) in a hollow upright Sycamore tree in what is now
Castalian Springs, then known as Bledsoe's Lick." The tree
was 12 feet in diameter and 20 feet tall and Spencer used to
climb into it through the top by way of a ladder that he would
haul in after he had entered the tree. The tree is long gone,
however a granite monument marks the place where it stood
in the field across the road from Wynnewood in Castalian
Springs. "He did a large part of his hunting and trapping on
the south side of the Cumberland River (in Wilson County)
along the Creek which has since borne his name." HISTORY
OF WILSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE, Chapter I, by Dixon
Lanier Merritt, Page 5.
Spencer Creek starts on top of Waters Hill, at the very back
end of Bethlehem Road, then it runs out to Letcher Ave, then
to Arlington Rd, then to the end of Barnes Drive, to Southfork
Drive, then to Palmer Road, then it runs under Highway 70
(Nashville Pike), to Tirzah Street, then it runs along Highway
70 to where it runs under Cairo Bend Road, just prior to the
rail road tracks, then it joins Martha Branch, then it runs under
Highway 109 North, to just before Highway 109 North and the
Old LaGuardo Road join, then it runs under "Spence" Creek
Drive until it meets up with Cooks Branch, then it runs under
Northern Road, until it makes its' way to Old Hickory Lake
at LaGuardo, just south of Burton Road.
Frank Burns told me for years that "Native Americans,
when they saw the prints of Spencers' big feet in the mud,"
Frank told me of how they "fled in terror when they saw the
footprints."
"His physical strength was legendary. A giant in his day,
well proportioned, broad shouldered, huge in body and limb,
and weighing nearly four hundred pounds, Spencer always
said he feared striking another man due to the fear of killing
him. According to one story, Spencer threw a militiaman
high over a split three-rail fence to break up a fight at a local
militia muster. When the embarrassed man recovered, he
begged Spencer to set his horse over the fence also. Others
characterized him as having 'the strength of a lion,' as being
'stronger than two common men' and as being 'the stoutest
man I ever saw.' His traditional feats of strength are numerous.
Spencer was a true gentleman of a man, of quiet and peaceable
disposition. Spencer never married." EARLY HISTORY
OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE, BY EDWARD ALBRIGHT,
CHAPTER 9, 1908.
"On April 1, 1794, Spencer was killed by a single gunshot
fired from ambush, supposedly fired by Native Americans.
Spencer was then scalped and robbed of $2,000.
At the time, he was returning from Virginia across
the Cumberland Mountains, and he reached a hill in Van
Buren County where he was ambushed, which has since
been given his name." Walter T. Durham, TENNESSEE

Wilson County Sheriff Robert Bryan speaking at the Police Benevolent Association fund raiser recently. Submitted
Race for the Fallen Glow
Run to close MJ roadways
Event to raise funds for Tennessee Police Benevolent Association
A nighttime family fun race will close two Mt.
Juliet roadways on Saturday. From 8 p.m. until
approximately 10 p.m., Golden Bear Gateway
will be closed from Mt. Juliet High School to
Clemmons Road, and Clemmons Road will be
closed from Curd Road to East Division Street.
According to the Mt. Juliet Police Department,
officers will be on-hand to ensure residents can
get to and from homes located in the closed
sections. Through traffic will not be allowed on
the closed roadways.
The Race for the Fallen will begin at 8 p.m. –
or after sunset – on Saturday and will necessitate
the road closures for the safety of participants.
Mt. Juliet High School will serve as the start and
end point for the race.
Hosted by the Tennessee Police Benevolent
MJPD Chief James Hambrick
Association (PBA), the second annual glow run/
walk was created to honor the dedicated members
of law enforcement who risk their lives each day
to protect their communities. It is the signature
fundraiser for PBA chapters across the country.
The local race, organized by Wilson County
Sheriff’s Office Sgt. James Lanier, drew more
than 500 runners last year and raised more than
$9,000.
“We hope this event is even larger and more
successful than last year’s race,” Lanier, who
serves as TN PBA vice president and as president
of the PBA Andrew Jackson Chapter, said. “This
is a tribute to those officers who have fallen in the
line of duty. This is our way of honoring those
officers and their families.”
The PBA fundraiser kicked off Sunday with
Wilson County law Enforcement Day at the Mt.
Juliet Worship Center, where the congregation
and guests contributed almost $2,000 in addition
to providing lunch for law enforcement officers
and their families from across the county. Wilson
County Sheriff’s Office Chaplain Don Willis,
assistant pastor at the church, organized the
tribute, putting together a video of all the officers
killed in the line of duty this year as well as
providing music and entertainment for officers
and their families. Other speakers included
Sheriff Robert Bryan, Pastor Danny Sellars,
FOP Chaplain Sam Weatherly, MJPD Chief
James Hambrick, Lanier, WCSO Lt. Scott
Moore, Cpl. Emy Bates and others.

Pastor, Silver Springs Baptist Church
The Upside of
the Downside
Bill Trapp was pastor of Woodmont Baptist Church, Florence,
Ala. He died December 31, 2000 after a long battle with Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis, more commonly called “Lou Gehrig’s disease.”
At the time of sending out this message, Bill could not use his arms
for more than a few brief moments at a time. Keyboard work was
very difficult. He could neither talk nor eat. He was going through a
great deal of physical, emotional, and spiritual anguish, but Bill Trapp
remained faithful. I briefly share Bill’s story not to depress you, but to
say that we are hearing from someone who has really lived the upside
in a downside world.
Bill Trapp said, “The problems you face will either defeat you or
develop you depending on how you respond to them.” Regardless of
the source of our problems, let’s explore, through Bill’s thoughts, five
ways God wants to use problems in our lives.
God uses problems in our lives to direct us. We have a tendency

to get pretty comfortable living in our routines. Often we are so
comfortable that we won’t even consider possible new directions in
our lives. Sometimes something has to happen to light a fire under
us to get us moving. Problems often point us in a new direction and
motivate us to change from what we were doing.
Many of the great discoveries and courses in life have begun with
a problem. The person then sought direction from God and discovered
the truth of Proverbs 20:30, “Sometimes it takes a painful situation to
make us change our ways” (TEV).
God uses problems in our lives to inspect us. There are various
forms of this saying but one version is, “People are like tea bags—if
you want to know what’s inside just drop them into hot water!” Have
you ever been tested by a problem? What has that problem revealed
about your Christian faith?
It was a problem that nudged me to pray, “God, I’ll do whatever
you want me to do.” Over 30 years later, I am glad I had the problem!
When you encounter problems, where do you turn for guidance,
strength, and proper perspective? Problems reveal who or what is in
control of our lives. James 1:2-3 says, “Consider it a sheer gift, friends
when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that
under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its
true colors” (The Message).
God uses problems in our lives to correct us. A wise person will
pause, even ever so briefly, after an experience and ask, “What can I
learn from this experience?” There are some lessons in life that can
only be learned through pain and failure.
Ken Taylor paraphrased Psalm 119:71-72 this way: “The
punishment you gave me was the best thing that could have happened
to me, for it taught me to pay attention to your laws. They are more
valuable to me than millions in silver and gold!”
God uses problems in our lives to protect us. I don’t know why

God does not protect us from every harmful thing that can happen to
us. Like you, I think I would like it that way, but because God does
not protect us from all harm, I realize that I cannot go through life on
automatic pilot.
I do believe, though, that God protects us from some things that
will harm us. Thus, I pray for His protection. I also thank Him for the
protection that has been given me.
Sometimes it is through problems in our lives that we are protected.
I read about an individual who was supposed to be in one of the Twin
Towers in the morning of September 11, 2001 but because of problems
was not.
Do you remember Joseph’s words to his apologizing brothers who
because of jealousy had sold him into slavery? As a result of their act,
as second in command of all of Egypt, Joseph was the savior of the
starving nation of Israel. Joseph said, “You intended to harm me, but
God intended it for good . . .” (Genesis 50:20).
God uses problems in our lives to perfect us. Problems, in our lives,
will do one of two things. They will make us bitter or they will make
us better. Problems, when we respond to them correctly, are character
builders.
From Romans 5:3-4, we can see what problems, when used as
stepping stones to improvement, can do for us, “We can rejoice too
when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good
for us . . .”
Here is the point of today’s column: God is at work in our lives even
when we do not recognize it. Further, life is much easier and profitable
when we cooperate with Him.
Let me take you back to Bill Trapp of Florence, Ala. When he
shared his five thoughts, he signed at the end: Definitely, In His Grip,
Brother Bill.”
Are you “Definitely In His Grip?”

Wicked Human’s Ignominious End
And Esther said, The
adversary and enemy is this
wicked Haman. Then Haman
was afraid before the king and
the queen … So they hanged
Haman on the gallows that he had
prepared for Mordecai.
-Esther 7:6 & 10.
We now enter Chapter 7 in
the Book of Esther, the curtain
rising on Scene VII depicting a
huge banquet hall on the palace
grounds. Queen Esther is about
to reveal her petition to Xerxes,
her husband. In a twist of events
Haman has been forced to honor
Mordecai by order of the king
and is now home bewildered and
confused; but not for long, as we
note …
The Suddenness (cp 1 Thess
5:3). “And while they [Haman
and his wife} were yet talking …
came the king’s chamberlains,
and hasted to bring Haman unto
the banquet that Esther had
prepared.” And so closes chapter
6. The events that morning put
Haman ill at ease. Commanded
to honor Mordecai for whom
he had built a special gallows
50 cubits high, personally
leading him arrayed in fine royal
apparel mounted upon the king’s
decorated horse through the
streets of Shushan, no doubt took
all the stuffing out of him. No
longer arrogant and proud he
goes home crying to his wife who
give little comfort in the words,
“Thou shalt not prevail against
him, and shalt surely fall before
him.” Now escorted to the second
banquet, Haman enters the palace
alongside the king, with Esther’s
entourage following, and at the
announcement of their arrival,
everyone bows in homage to their
presence.
The Steadfastness! Finally,
when everyone is relaxed in
partaking food and wine, the
time comes to discover Esther’s
petition. “And the king said again
unto Esther on the second day at
the banquet of wine, What is thy
petition, queen Esther? and it
shall be granted thee: and what
is thy request? and it shall be
performed, even to the half of the
kingdom” (v 2).
The offer still stands,
mentioned for the third time—
“it shall be performed, even
to the half of the kingdom” (5;
3, 6; 7:2) an idiomatic phrase
used once in the New Testament
concerning the life of John the
Baptist (Mk 6:23). To give
“half” is in a sense allowing
equality in full partnership, a carte
blanche (without restriction), a
relationship, as in Zacchaeus in
giving half of one’s goods to the
poor. Paul tells us that we have
a relationship with Christ, as
“heirs” (Rom 8:17; Tit 3:7). God
is able to perform that which he
promises to us (Jer 33:14; Ro
8:32).
The Sacredness! “Then
Esther the queen answered and
said, If I have found favour in thy
sight, O king, and if it please the
king, let my life be given me at
my petition, and my people at my
request” (v 3).
“Let my life be given me…”
Life is sacred, is God-given and
precious, each fleeting second
mounting to days, months and
years being that which we call our
life span. We are told in Psalms
90:12, “So teach us to number
our days, that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom.” The lives of
Esther, Mordecai, and her people
were under sentence of death to be
carried out on the thirteenth day
of the twelfth month Adar, one
year after the signing of the decree
perpetrated by wicked Haman
(3:7, 12-13). Notice Esther’s
words in her indictment against
Pastor, Temple Baptist Church
Haman—“we are sold”—Haman
had given the king a great amount
of money (3:9; 4:7). We, too, have
been “sold,” the price being that
of a disobedience taking place in
a garden some 6,000 years ago.
They are to be “destroyed,”
“slain,” “perish” words that spell
doom to a people under God’s
covenant promise. It is the devil’s
work of whom our Lord spoke is
a “murderer” (Jn 8:44). But our
Lord is not willing that any should
perish, but that all should come
to repentance (2 Pe 3:9). Had
they been sold (as the practice
of foreign occupied nations) into
slavery, the matter would not be
a concern to the king. But wiping
out an entire people must have
gone over the head of the king,
as when apprised of it by Esther
he seems shocked and angry. He
bursts out, “Who is he, and where
is he, that durst presume in his
heart to do so?” (v 5)
is wicked and vile Haman. Both
the king and Haman are taken by
surprise by Esther’s accusation.
He has no defense. The king’s
standing meant his doom. He
reaches out to Esther throwing
himself on her divan making
matters worse to the king and he
is immediately hanged.
The Vileness. “And Esther
said, The adversary and enemy is
this wicked Haman. Then Haman
was afraid before the king and
the queen” (v 8). Sitting next to
the king, an honored position,

Jesus Pusher
By STEPHEN MANLEY
I am a Jesus pusher! Do not be drawn into “imitating”
language. The Greek word (mimetes) translated imitate
is the noun form (1 Corinthians 11:1). This word group
appears only 11 times in the New Testament. Eight of
them are in Paul’s writings. The verb occurs in the Book
of Hebrews (13:7) and in the epistle of John (3 John 11).
The noun form appears in the Book of Hebrews (Hebrews
6:12). The idea of imitation is not suggested as a style of
Christian discipleship but is connected to a certain activity
or example which should be followed, imitated.
Let it be strongly stated that after the Gospels (the
crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus), there is
no call to “follow” Jesus. He is no longer here to follow.
Our relationship with Jesus drastically changed. For a
moment, think of the radical difference between the God
on Mount Sinai or in the Holy of Holies and the actual
presence of Jesus, God in the flesh. The differences
between these two manifestations form a sizable list.
The kind of relationship each manifestation produced is
radically different. Even more so is the difference between
Jesus in the flesh and the indwelling Spirit of Jesus. The
change in relationship from one manifestation to the other
demands a total adjustment in language and experience.
We no longer serve Him; He engages us in His service
from within. We no longer do our best; He flows through
us producing His best. We no longer live for Him; He is
living through us! I am a privileged Jesus pusher!

Lebanon Aglow Lighthouse Advisor
Breazeale to speak Tuesday, June 16
Joyce Breazeale, an advisor for the Lebanon Aglow Lighthouse,
will speak at the Lebanon Aglow Lighthouse on Tuesday, June 16 at
7 p.m. in the chapel of Joseph’s Storehouse, located at 1960 S.E. Tater
Peeler Road in Lebanon.
“Over 2,000 years ago, the apostle Peter asked in 2 Peter 3:11,
‘What kind of people are we to be,’ referring to the time of the end
of this age, when all the Earth and its works will be burned up as
described in 1 Corinthians 3:15,” Lebanon Aglow President Robin
Hardin said. “The answer, of course, is found in Jesus Christ and in
His peace, where we can become holy, spotless and blameless in the
eyes of the Lord. As the people of God, we are to understand the times
and seasons, which clearly reveal the prophecies related to the second
coming of Jesus are being fulfilled in our day. We also know from His
Holy Word that the time of Jesus’ return is in the hands of the Father,
who desires that all come to repentance.
“Joyce Breazeale, one of our advisors for the Lebanon Aglow
Lighthouse, has been on a quest to hear from the Holy Spirit about
these matters and will share from the Bible some important and relevant
scriptures, as well as dreams, she has experienced about this season,”
Hardin continued. “If you are hungry to draw closer to the Lord, find
that hidden place in Christ and desire to become holy, spotless and
blameless in Him, we invite you to come and hear what the Spirit is
saying to the believers. Join us as we look at the answer to ‘what kind
of people are we to be’ as we wait for the glorious day of Jesus’ return
to reign as King and to restore all things back to His original intent.”
Lebanon Aglow’s monthly gatherings are held every third Tuesday
from 7 until 9 p.m. at various locations around Lebanon. For more

Local Churches to unite for Wilson
County Civil Rights presentation, service
Kristi Galligan will be presenting “The Story of the Civil Rights Movement in Wilson County” during a unified service
at College Hills Church of Christ in Lebanon, with Wilson County Black History Committee President Mary Harris.
Submitted
College Hills Church
of Christ will host a onehour presentation of Kristi
Galligan’s research, “The
Story of the Civil Rights
Movement in Wilson County.”
The event will be held on
Sunday, June 28 at 4 p.m. in
the Witt Family Life Center
on the College Hills campus at
1401 Leeville Pike in Lebanon.
Admission is free, and the
event is open to the public.
As part of a graduate
degree at Belmont University,
Galligan interviewed dozens
of older residents to hear their
memories of race relations in
Wilson County during the last
century.
“My family often talked
about the guilt they felt
about segregation and their
experiences during segregation
and integration,” Galligan
said. “I wanted to record the
personal stories of people
who lived through segregation
and integration because their
generation is getting older.
These experiences are too vital
to be lost.”
The presentation will
describe racial segregation
in Wilson County in the 20th
century. Galligan, a Wilson
County Adult High School
teacher, will bring two of her
interview subjects to share
their memories. Reflecting
on her research, Galligan
explained that “the most
important thing I’ve learned is
the courage of the oppressed.
African-Americans in Wilson
County went to one-room
schoolhouses with no running
water; they rode buses for hours
to attend high school; and they
were denied the same rights as
whites, yet they persevered in
the face of violence. I am awed
by their courage and strength.”
She noted she also learned
about efforts to integrate.
“Wilson County’s story is
a fascinating and important
story. People fought so hard
to integrate Wilson County,
and they deserve to be heard,”
she said.
In Wilson County, there
were civil rights protests in the
1960s, including the “Bloody
Night” on the Lebanon Public
Square. Many of the interview
subjects also remembered
racial tension at Lebanon High
School as recently as 1992. The
material presented on June 28
will be appropriate for ages
10 and up.
John Grant, connections
minister at College Hills, noted
a few of the reasons for hosting
the event.
“The church is still too
divided along racial lines.
Jesus prayed that his followers
might be completely unified,
and we are not there yet. For
years, several local churches
of Christ have gathered for
an annual Unified Worship
Service and fellowship meal.
That has created good will,
which is a start. Galligan’s
presentation builds on that
trust. Over time, worship and
fellowship have grown to the
point where we can begin to
talk about difficult issues,”
Grant explained. “I heard
Kristi present this material at
Lebanon High School, and
it opened my eyes. There
were significant events that
happened in this community
during my lifetime. It is
important that we remember
these stories because racial
questions continue to be a
challenge today.”
Patrick Johnson, the
preacher at Peyton Road
Church of Christ, agreed
that Galligan’s presentation
is a positive addition to the
Unified Worship Service. “Our
common ground is worship,”
he said. “That is a first step.
Now we are going to talk
about what happened in our
community. It is important to
know the history, so you don’t
repeat the mistakes.”
Johnson recently presented
a class series at Peyton Road
about Christian unity. “I talked
about two specific points
regarding unity – you have to
develop common ground, but
you do not have to change who
you are. In John 4, Jesus met
a Samaritan woman at a well.
There was common ground
because they both needed
water. When they met, Jesus
did not hide his Jewishness,
and he didn’t ask the woman
to stop being a Samaritan.
There are important lessons
that apply today.”
F o l l o w i n g G a l l i g a n ’s
presentation, eight local
congregations, area agencies
including Brooks House and
The Next Step Resource Center
and many from the community
will gather at 5 p.m. in the
College Hills Auditorium for
the annual Unified Worship
Service. The service is open
to the public. Dr. David Fleer
from Lipscomb University will
be the keynote speaker.

event, contact College Hills

WC’s Claire Smith commits to Middle Tennessee
By TOMMY BRYAN
Claire Smith, leadoff
hitter and “spark plug”
for Wilson Central’s Class
AAA state championship
softball team, has verbally
committed to Middle Tennessee State University
following an on-campus
visit earlier this week.
Having just completed
her sophomore year at
Wilson Central, Smith hit
.449 at the top of the Lady
Wildcat lineup with 66 hits.
She scored 59 runs
and stole 15 bases. Smith
drove in 28 runs and in the
state tournament -- tied a
TSSAA record with two
triples in the second round
win over Siegel.
Smith and her teammates went 4-0 in the state
tournament and closed out
the 2015 season with 14
consecutive victories -finishing 41-7-1.
Along the way, Wilson Central won both the
District 9-AAA and Region
5-AAA tournaments as
well as a Class AAA sectional contest.
“I just love the atmosphere at MTSU,” Smith
said, “the coaches are
great. You can tell they are
building a great program
there and I want to be a
part of it.
“I’ve been recruited by
several other schools, but
Middle Tennessee is close
to home and my parents
will be able to come see
me play.
“They’ve got a new hitting facility and the dorms
are great. It’s everything I
want in a school.”
Smith plays with the
Tennessee Illusion during
the summer months and is
sure to continue to attract
the attention of other college coaches.
“I’m firm in my commitment,” Smith said, “I’m
glad to have had the opportunity to go ahead and
get my decision out of the
way.”
Wilson Central coach
Michael Shepard couldn’t
be happier for his second
baseman.
“She set the table for us
this year,” Coach Shepard
said. “She’s so aggressive on the bases and she
stepped her game offensively.
“She’s always been
a great bunter, but she
worked on the small game
-- slapping -- and that made
a big difference this season.
“I think this was a good
move for Claire,” Shepard
said, “now she can focus
on school and softball.
She’s the kind of player
who won’t let this go to her
head.”
Smith is the daughter of
Shawn and Dayna Smith
and is scheduled to graduate from Wilson Central in
2017.

LHS softball coach resigns, headed to Smyrna
By TOMMY BRYAN
Lebanon High teacher
/ head softball coach John
LaFevor has resigned to
take an assistant coaching
position at Smyrna High in
Rutherford County.
Coach of the Lady Devils for the past two seasons,
LaFevor compiled a record
of 27-30 during his tenure.
LHS loses just two seniors to graduation -- Megan Brown and Brittany
Nagelout.
“I taught at Smyrna for
five years when I got out of
law enforcement, and now
I’m going back,” LaFevor
said. “I’m going to miss the
girls.
“The school administration and the parents have
been very good to me. I’m
proud to have worked with
them.
“I think good days are
ahead for Lebanon softball.
There’s a talented group of
girls coming back.”
Tryouts for the 2016
Lady Devils team had been
scheduled for June 10, 11
and 12 -- but are now on
hold.
“We are postponing softball tryouts for the time being,” said athletic director
Darian Brown via a telephone conversation Tuesday evening.
Brown indicated he
would be contacting potential candidate this week.
LaFevor had been working without the benefit of
faculty assistant coaches
-- so there’s no one in the
building available to conduct tryouts.
LaFevor, who teaches
criminal justice, will be
working as an assist coach
under new Smyrna head
coach Lonny Drayton.
An assistant basketball
coach with the girls program for the past two years
at Smyrna, Drayton replaces Lebanon High graduate Luke Sheppard who
resigned to take the head
coaching position at Oakland High.
Sheppard guided the
Lady Bulldogs to the Class
AAA state championship in
2013.
“I’ve known Lonny
LHS softball coach John LaFevor has accepted a position at
Smyrna High. DALLUS WHITFIELD / The Wilson Post
Drayton for a long time,”
Lafevor said, “right now
he’s coaching an elite travel
ball team and we’re looking
forward to working together at the high school level.”

#EDUCATION
Watertown Elementary School
Company, city and county officials gathered recently to break ground on the expansion to the company’s Maddox-Simpson Pkwy. facility.
Submitted
Caleres to expand Wilson County operations
Tennessee Economic and
Community Development
Commissioner Randy Boyd,
along with Caleres company
officials, announced this
week the global footwear
company will make a
substantial investment to
expand its distribution facility
in Lebanon.
The expansion will allow
Caleres, formerly Brown
Shoe Company, to meet its
increasing omni-channel
needs, optimize its logistics
network and grow overall
business by expanding its
drop-ship capabilities. The
expansion will create more
than 40 new jobs in Wilson
County.
“It’s exciting to see Caleres
expanding in Wilson County,”
Boyd said. “A majority of
business growth in Tennessee
comes from existing industries,
so it’s extremely important for
us to work with companies like
Caleres to make sure they can
continue their success in our
state. I congratulate Caleres on
this expansion and appreciate
the new jobs they are creating
in Middle Tennessee.”
Caleres currently
employs around 240 people
at its Lebanon facility. The
expansion will facilitate
more online order fulfillment
– a growing part of the
company’s business. Through
the investment, Caleres will
upgrade and modernize the
facility’s equipment and
technology, allowing for more
efficiency.
Groundbreaking for the
expansion took place on June
9, and the project is expected
to be completed by the fourth
quarter of 2016. Lebanon
Mayor Philip Craighead
and Ward 3 Lebanon City
Councilor Rob Cesternino
toured the Caleres facility and
were able to better understand
the growth taking place in the
company.
“We are proud of our
private industry in Lebanon,
and when a 20-plus-year
business partner continues to
expand, it indicates that we
are a growing community,”
Craighead said.
Caleres’ products are
available virtually everywhere
– in over 1,200 retail stores, in
hundreds of major department
and specialty stores, on branded
e-commerce sites and on many
additional third-party retail
websites. The company is a
diverse portfolio of global brands
Family, Healthy Living and
Contemporary Fashion. Famous
Footwear and Famous.com serve
as Family brands; Contemporary
Fashion brands include Sam
Edelman, Franco Sarto,
Vince, Via Spiga, Diane von
Furstenberg, Fergie Footwear
and Carlos Santana. Naturalizer,
Dr. Scholl’s, LifeStride, Bzees
and Ryka represent the Healthy
Living brands.
Caleres plans to begin
hiring in the fourth quarter
of 2016, and those who wish
to stay updated on the hiring
process can visit caleres.com/

Longtime Wilson County attorney Jerry Hunt was recognized for his service to the community.
DALLUS WHITFIELD / The Wilson Post
Hunt honored by WC Bar Association
By SABRINA GARRETT
The Wilson Post
The Wilson County Bar
Association honored longtime
attorney Jerry Hunt on
Wednesday for his years of
service to the community.
Coordinator Karen
Tuesday, June 23 • 5:00 - 7:00PM
Casey said that the bar has
a committee which selects an
honoree annually. Hunt was an
obvious choice, not only for
his work practicing law, but for
his roles as a United States Air
Force veteran, having served
in Vietnam and as a former
assistant district attorney and
city council member.
“You ought to be honored,”
said friend and fellow attorney
Jack Lowery, as he shared
stories with the audience.
“You’ve had a distinguished
career.”
H u n t ’s f o r m e r l e g a l
secretary Anita Holman said
that he was just as passionate
about aiding employees as
he was his clients. “He is
an excellent businessman
but has never forgotten his
compassion… I’ve seen him
adjust bills to make sure it
was affordable for his clients,”
she said, adding that on many
occasions she has referred
to him fondly as her “work
father.”
Bobby Hibbett, who
worked with Hunt as assistant
district attorney, recalled
Hunt’s wisdom when he was
trying a first degree murder
case.
“On the first day I made
a motion to charge all the
lesser included offenses, and
the court said ‘no,’” he said.
“Jerry asked if we could have
a recess and he said to me,
‘By the end of this trial they
will charge all of the lesser
offenses. I just know.’
“Sure enough at the end
all were charged,” Hibbett
said. “Jerry always had a sixth
sense about him.”
Stephen Brown awarded
a humbled Hunt with a plaque
in recognition of excellence
following comments from
Neal Agee and Lowery.
“Right now is the greatest
time to be a lawyer. I don’t
know what else I would have
been,” Hunt said. “Words
can’t explain how I feel at this
moment.”
