Country music superstar Alan Jackson appeared at Cracker Barrel in Mt. Juliet on Monday, where fans began lining up before 6 a.m. for the chance to have the singer sign copies of his new CD, Songs of Love and Heartache, to buy items from his new merchandise line sold at Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores and meet him. Media outlets from across the state and beyond, including the Associated Press, swarmed the meet and greet, and the event was highlighted on local news channels Monday evening.

With more people moving to Mt. Juliet all the time an infl ux of families and individuals from various regions of the country are living and working here, and one Mt. Juliet eatery has a specialty that is custom-fi tted for you – no matter what part of the country you’re from. Sean Sullivan, owner of Cori’s Doghouse in the Providence MarketPlace, recalls sitting with his mother at the lunch counter

of Woolworth’s, where he had his fi rst hot dog with a New England-style bun. He said he would order two at a time, he liked them so much, but then he didn’t have another one for 25 years. But he traveled quite a bit during that time, visiting 42 states and living in fi ve, and once he settled in Middle Tennessee he knew he wanted to open a restaurant where he could serve one

November Special

A $40 million lawsuit was fi led Thursday, October 29, in Wilson County Circuit Court to recover damages as a result of a helicopter crash a year ago that claimed the life of a Mt. Juliet man. Lebanon attorney Keith Williams fi led the lawsuit on behalf of the family of Robert Koudelka, of Mt. Juliet, who was killed last November when his helicopter crashed on the Wilson County side of the Cumberland River near Hwy. 109. The statute of limitations for the case ran out on Monday, November 2. The lawsuit, which includes a lengthy list of plaintiffs, many of whom are corporations or businesses with out-of-state addresses, was delayed in being fi led, according to Williams, largely because the Federal Aviation Administration has been slow in completing its work, including an investigation into the crash, and fi ling its report as to what was the likely cause of the crash. “We still don’t have the fi ndings of the FAA’s investigation,” Williams said, “but we had to fi le the lawsuit in order to meet the deadline imposed by the

statute of limitations.” Although the lawsuit has been fi led, Williams said a trial date won’t be set in the case until all evidence is collected and that he said won’t happen until the FAA completes and makes available its report. The lawsuit lists

Charles J. and Carolyn Koudelka, the parents of the victim of the crash, as the plaintiffs and lists as defendants Noble Aviation, LLC; Sevier County Choppers, LLC; RediAir, LLC; Robinson Helicopter Company; Lycoming Engines; AVCO Corporation; Textron Inc.; and Ellen L. Harvey-Smith. Lycoming Engines is a Pennsylvania company, Robinson Helicopter Company is located in California, and AVCO and Textron are both Delaware corporations. According to the lawsuit, Robert Koudelka, 43, died from injuries sustained when the Robinson helicopter he was fl ying crashed on a fl ight scheduled to take him from

the Lebanon airport to the Cornelia Fort Airport in Nashville on Nov. 2, 2008. The lawsuit describes Koudelka as a student pilot and alleges that the helicopter “experienced a loss of ability to maintain altitude and control” due the failure of its engine and

other components and as a result caused the pilot to lose control which resulted in the helicopter crashing into the Cumberland River. The lawsuit holds that the “dangerous

and defective condition” of the helicopter led to the crash. Noble Aviation, a Lebanon based company at the time, provided the helicopter to Koudelka the lawsuit states and Ellen L. Harvey-Smith, a Nashville resident, owned the helicopter. Sevier County Choppers and RediAir had both made inspections and provided certain maintenance and service work on the helicopters, according the complaint. Robinson Helicopters and Lycoming Engines are charged in the lawsuit for “wrongful manufacture and sale” of the helicopter including its engine and other components.

Dear Editor: This past Saturday was the last day that the Mount Juliet Farmers’ Market was open for the season. I want to thank Mr. Black, Mr. McDaniel, the Evans Family and all the other farmers that were there so faithfully. They brought wonderful produce and other special treats that my family and friends enjoyed all summer long. From Mount Juliet road, it may have looked like a small market, because there may have only been a few trucks. But those trucks carried everything you could imagine-local honey,

fantastic tomatoes, farm fresh eggs, lots of different kinds of summer and winter squash, different kinds of corn, green beans, october beans, different kinds of lettuce, cucumbers, crowder peas, greens, eggplant, green onions, every kind of produce you could think of (and some I hadn’t known before but became family favorites), peppers! It was a feast of fresh, local treats. There were many jams and jellies from local produce that really did taste like my mother use to make. There were other special treats like home canned tomato juice, canned tomatoes, pickled beets, pickled okra, lots of different kinds of pickles and more than I can mention. I remember making many of these treats with my mother, aunt and grandmother. They have all been special treats on my family table and shared with friends. Some of them will be included in Christmas baskets for friends and family. My family has eaten much better because of the farmers market. It was something I looked forward

to every Saturday. Not only was the produce and other products wonderful, but all the farmers were so nice and remembered me every Saturday. I quickly got in the habit of going the market fi rst for my produce, before I went to the grocery store. Thank you again to the great farmers who provided us with such healthy, delicious food. I felt an extra blessing every time I sat with the family and enjoyed a dinner of all locally grown food. Thank you to our town government for arranging and supporting this opportunity. The central location made it easy to visit the market and provided visibility for this new project. I sincerely hope that the government continues to support the market and can keep the market in a central, easily visible location. I’m looking forward to spring and a new season at the Mount Juliet Farmers Market! Sincerely, Vicki RichardMount Juliet, TN 37122

Each year at Christmas Big Brothers with the help of The Mt. Juliet High School students, ROTC and numerous volunteers’ pack food boxes for needy families. “At our Christmas event last year approximately 700 boxes of food was packed for 350 families to receive food,” said Owen Gleaves with Big Brothers of Mt. Juliet. “Some 800 children received Christmas through the Mother’s Toy Store. This was a huge increase over previous years. The West Wilson County population is increasing and we expect an increase of families needing assistance for Christmas 2009.” Without Big Brothers help many families may not be able to provide a Christmas for their family. Collection boxes will be placed in the Wilson County Schools in the Mt. Juliet area in early November. Big Brothers is a 501©3 non-profi t and operates entirely on donations. There are no salaries paid to any individual in this organization. “We are all volunteers with one goal in mind and that is to help those that are less fortunate,” Gleaves said. “We are asking that parents, students, local businesses and the community be aware that without their help in this most important mission, we would be unable to carry out our Christmas activities.” The Mother’s Toy Store will be Saturday, December 19, at the Mt. Juliet Middle School Cafeteria (formerly The Mt. Juliet High School) located at 3565 N. Mt. Juliet Road

from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. There is no charge for the families to shop due to your dedicated support to the Big Brothers Program. Volunteers will be

packing food boxes for those less fortunate at the Mt. Juliet Middle School, located next to Sonic on N. Mt. Juliet Road, on Friday, December 18, at 6:30 p.m. Food boxes will be delivered on Saturday morning December 19. “We invite anyone in the community that would like to volunteer their help to please come and join us,” Gleaves said. “Helping others less fortunate is a wonderful experience for all ages.” Businesses and private individuals that would like to sponsor a family to provide them with Christmas are encouraged to do so and may contact Big Brothers through the Web Site or by calling the help line at 641-0577 for further information. Families are required to pre-register and may do so at the Charlie Daniels Park Community Center from November 9 - December 13 from 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday - Friday. Applications are also available at the Mt. Juliet Help Center during regular operating hours. Pre-registration is essential and required. Families that do

not register will shop after all pre-registered families have been served and may not receive as many gifts. Big Brothers hold meetings at the Cooks United

Methodists Church, 7919 Lebanon Rd. The public is is invited to attend any of their meetings. New member are always welcome. Meeting dates for 2009 are on Thursdays Nov. 5 and 19, and Dec. 3, 10, and 17 and start at 7 p.m. Monetary donations

can be mailed to Big Brothers of Mt. Juliet, P.O. Box 1513, Mt. Juliet, TN. 37121. Visit the Events page at www.bigbrothersofmj.org

Editor’s Note: On the fi rst Wednesday of each month I will profi le a Mt. Juliet community leader, staff member, business or department head with the hopes that those of you new to the area, or residents who have lived here all your lives, and are not familiar with those who lead our growing community will get to know who’s who and who’s making what happen. This is not an investigative endeavor – I want it to be informative but fun. If you have a person you’d like to see profi led, or questions you’d like to ask, I’d love to hear from you. Email me at [email protected], or call 615-754-6111. I look forward to your suggestions. This week we’ll start with our new Mt. Juliet Municipal Judge, Andy Wright, a simple Q & A form.

1. What is your job title and how long have you been doing this? My offi cial title in Lebanon is City Attorney. I am the fi rst full-time City Attorney Lebanon has had and I have been there for about fi ve and half years. Additionally, about three or four nights a month, I preside over the Mt. Juliet city court as the Municipal Judge. I was honored to be appointed to that position about fi ve months ago. The Mt. Juliet city clerk’s offi ce and the police department have both been overwhelmingly supportive in assisting me with scheduling dockets to avoid any work confl icts between the two positions.2. Where do you live, and as much about your family

as you feel comfortable sharing. My wife, Jill, and I have been married for over eighteen years. When she was pregnant with our fi rst child in 2002, we moved to

her hometown of Mt. Juliet from Hermitage, where we had lived for eleven years. Being able to raise our children in Wilson County was very important to us, so as soon as we knew we were going to have one, we started the transition of moving here. We actually moved into a house that is eight houses down the street from the one in which she grew up and in which her parents still reside. My son, Drew, is now in the second grade at Elzie Patton Elementary and my daughter, Abby, is in pre-K at Mt. Juliet Christian Academy. We are active members of First Baptist Church of Mt. Juliet. 3. Tell me a little bit about your background, experience, education, etc. I grew up in Hermitage and Old Hickory, attending DuPont High School until it was closed in 1986, and

then attending McGavock Comprehensive High School for one year, graduating in 1987. I knew early on that I wanted a career in law enforcement of some type. In July of this year, the Mt. Juliet Board of Commissioners appointed me to the position of Mt. Juliet City Judge. I’m able to utilize every facet of my background in law enforcement, criminal defense, and municipal law, in carrying out my duties as the city judge and thoroughly enjoy having this opportunity to serve the citizens of Mt. Juliet.4. What’s your favorite color? Defi nitely blue. I love a beautiful day’s blue sky, the stress relief of watching and listening to a blue ocean, and the excitement of wearing and seeing Titans’ blue on game days, notwithstanding their current record. - Type of food? Fried chicken. I would rather have great fried chicken than a steak. I’m also a fan of mixing it up as well, though, and often indulge in Mexican food, Asian food, and even sushi every so often. - City? There’s no place like home. I have visited Los Angeles, San Diego, New York,

First lady Conte visits MJ

Tennessee’s First Lady, wife of Gov. Phil Bredesen Andrea Conte, spoke at the Mt. Juliet/West Wilson Chamber of Commerce Women in Business Luncheon on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at Rutland Place in Mt. Juliet. Conte, known for child abuse advocacy and for founding You Have the Power, Know How to Use it, spoke primarily about the recent restoration of the Governor’s Mansion and the construction of the often controversial Conservation Hall. She said building the hall was important and “part of running State business.” The Women in Business arm of the Chamber meets “to Enrich, Empower and Educate Women in Business.” For more information contact the Chamber of Commerce at 615-758-3478. ~ Photo by Tomi L.

of America’s favorite foods – the hot dog – in every style offered across the nation. Sullivan said he looked for space for his restaurant in Nashville, especially Downtown and near Vanderbilt University, where there would be a variety of people from far-fl ung places and where there were few hot dog eateries. “I wanted the right spot,” Sullivan said, describing a location off Elliston Place that didn’t pan out. “I turned my head toward Mt. Juliet,

starting negotiations with Providence in February. I’m very glad I came out here fi rst – the reception has been wonderful.” Cori’s Doghouse – named for his daughter, a third grader at Stoner Creek Elementary – offers 32 different styles of hot dogs from the four major regions of America: The East, MidWest/Central, The South and West Coast/Southwest/Pacifi c. Even those dogs may be altered to your taste. And for those of you not in the mood for a hot dog, Cori’s Doghouse offers sandwiches

as well, which can be topped and altered for your mood and tastes. All ingredients with the exception of the sausages are prepared fresh in house or delivered daily. The New England-style buns are made exclusively for Cori’s Doghouse by Provence Breads, and Sullivan uses Sabretts hot dogs of New York. The French fries are hand-cut every day, the onion rings freshly cut and breaded. Sullivan said he’s planning on revamping the menu for winter, adding items such as homemade soups, chili, and “maybe a bread bowl.” Sullivan added that all dogs and sausages will remain on the menu. He also offers fresh baked items which rotate in variety, as well as… get ready for it… a fried Twinkie for dessert. Sullivan opened Cori’s Doghouse on September 22 and has already “beefed up staff” to meet needs he wasn’t expecting. He said the customer response has been surprising and rewarding to him both in the amount of customers and their positive reaction to his food. “Kids who won’t eat anything will eat everything on their plate,” Sullivan said. “One family with two children was amazed that their children were so enthralled with their food that they kids barely even talked. The parents said they felt like they had some alone time together, even with the kids at the table.” There are more reasons than the 32 different styles of hot dogs to come to Cori’s Doghouse. Even more than the fried Twinkie. Sullivan spent years working in the corporate restaurant world, and he brings that knowledge to his business now, even though his approach is quite different. “We offer a very, very good product that is priced in such a way that people are happy walking through the door,” Sullivan said. “Besides offering really good food that you can’t fi nd anywhere else close by, I am very anti-corporate and don’t feel it’s necessary to gouge people out of their money. I spent years in the corporate world and I don’t agree with their methods or their cookie-cutter way of doing things.” Cori’s Doghouse is located in Providence MarketPlace, near the west entrance to Belk’s.

From staff reports Mt. Juliet will host Murfreesboro Oakland Friday, Nov. 6 in the fi rst round of the TSSAA Class 6A football playoffs. The Golden Bears stand 9-1 on the season while Oakland enters Friday’s contest 8-2. In the wake of last week’s double-overtime loss to Beech, Mt. Juliet fi nished second in District 9AAA and was awarded a No. 3 seed in their eight-team bracket. Oakland, with losses to only Division II power Ensworth and District 7AAA rival Riverdale, is seeded sixth. The winner of Friday’s Mt. Juliet - Oakland game will play either No. 7-seeded Franklin County (4-6) or No. 2-seeded and District 6AAA champ Cookeville (7-3) Friday, Nov. 13 in the second round. Mt. Juliet’s hopes of a perfect regular season and an outright District 9AAA championship came crashing to Earth last Thursday as Beech converted a gutsy two-point conversion in the second overtime for a 47-46 win over the Bears.

Mt. Juliet fell to 9-1 on the regular season and awaits word from the TSSAA on a fi rst round playoff matchup. Beech improved to 8-2 overall. M t . Juliet trailed 19-10 at in t e rm iss i on and rallied back behind the sterling play of quarterback Reed Gurchiek. The senior completed 15-of-23 passes for 252 yards and three touchdowns . He also ran for three scores. A f t e r the two teams swapped scores and PATs in the fi rst overtime, Mt. Juliet scored on its fi rst play of the second OT as Gurchiek hit Vaughn Cornelia in the back of the endzone from 10 yards out. Tyler Emmetts’ PAT gave Mt.

Juliet a 46-39 lead. Beech’s Travis Haymer shredded the Mt. Juliet defense for 221 yards and fi ve touchdowns on 28 carries.

Dallas, San Antonio, Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Seattle, and several other cities, but none compare to the Middle Tennessee area as far as I’m

concerned. I wouldn’t want to live anywhere other than where I do, but thoroughly enjoy my visits to Panama City Beach, Destin, and all destinations in between every year.- Animal? Do

you have any pets? What are they? I’m a dog guy, even though I bear the scars of three or four dog bites (they were all my fault). Although I don’t currently have any pets, my wife and I had two Chinese Shar Peis for a number of years before we had kids, but they’re no longer with us. If we ever do get another pet, it will be a dog. We’re not cat people. - Sport? Football, football, football, and softball. 5. If you could have dinner with anyone living or dead who would it be, and why? When I was a child, we would join my aunts, uncles, and cousins, every Sunday afternoon at my great grandmother’s house for Sunday dinner. She would cook an enormous spread of fried chicken, baked ham, dumplings, mashed potatoes, and several other things incredibly bad for you. She was an amazing woman. I would give anything to have one more Sunday dinner with her. 6. What would you say to someone who asked you why they stole their pickle? Talk to my lawyer. 7. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what fi ve books would you want to have with you and why? Man vs. Wild: Survival Techniques from the Most

Dangerous Places on Earth by Bear Grylls. Because that fi re is not going to build itself. Mary Ann’s Gilligan’s Island Cookbook by Dawn Wells. I consider myself an amateur chef and professional tailgater. Just because I’m marooned on a deserted island doesn’t mean I’m not going to eat well. Life Application Study Bible, NLT by Tyndale House Publishers. Because I can do all things through Christ, who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13. And also because if I’m deserted on an island with my Bible, I might actually fi nd the time to read it as I should. What else would you need? 8. How do you deal with stress? Or... How do you relieve stress? I created a rule with my wife a long time ago that we go to Florida at least once a year. There’s nothing as relaxing to me as sitting on a beach, staring at the ocean, and listening to the waves. Being able to take our kids now makes it that much better. I also try to stay as active as possible by jogging and working out, playing softball for my church, attending Titans games, and working in my yard whenever I can.

9. Who has had the strongest infl uence on your development as a person? What can you tell me about that person? I don’t know that I can identify any one person who has infl uenced my development the most as a person. My parents are two of the hardest working people I have ever known. They instilled in me a long time ago a drive to identify goals, to work hard toward those goals, and to take pride in the work I achieved. I have been with my wife since I was seventeen years old. She has been there with me for just about every major decision I’ve ever had to make in my life. She is my spiritual benchmark and trusted counsel. My friend Jeff Cherry was my fraternity brother at MTSU, my partner on the police department in Metro, my law school buddy, and we even practiced law together. How many people can say they were given the gift of working with their best friend, and in two different career fi elds no less? We’ve covered each others’ tails in a number of respects for a number of years. 10. If you could buy anything in the world, but just one thing, what would you buy? That’s easy. Microsoft.

Refl ections from anOld Friend

Old is Good Can you remember the fi rst time someone called you ma’am or sir? Did it make you feel old? I think I was eighteen when someone called me sir for the fi rst time. It caught me totally off guard. I can remember sticking my chest out like some rough and tough rooster sporting around with my whisper thin mustache. I remember thinking it was really cool having someone call me sir. I began to think to myself, have I fi nally grown up or gotten old? Like a bolt of lightning it hit me, people with manners and proper upbringings will usually reply with sir, ma’am, young man or young lady. I suddenly remembered the proper raising I had received from my parents. They had always told me to use yes sir and yes ma’am or else. And trust me, I knew exactly what the or else was and I didn’t want any of it. Well, it must have worked, because I’ve been using yes sir and yes ma’am my whole life. I constantly reply to people with Mr. or Mrs., yes sir and no ma’am. The only problem is, most everybody I respond to with Mr. or Mrs. ask me to please just call them by their fi rst name because it makes them feel old. Needless to say, I’m just a little bit confused. So I have decided to keep calling people Mr. and Mrs., and replying with yes sir and yes ma’am. So if I make you feel old, give my parents a call and blame them for their fancy manner and courtesy driven upbringing. In the meantime, I have one big question, when are we offi cially old? And to you young dudes who call me old. You might just be right. I now fi nd myself saying the very same things my parents said when I was a kid. The very things I rolled my eyes at as a kid are now a big part of my daily vocabulary and fond memories. You know, things like, when I was a kid we use to walk nine miles in the snow, sleet and rain to get to school, you don’t know what work is, close that door, I’m not trying to heat the world, were you raised in a barn, money doesn’t grow on tress and so on. That sure does bring back fond memories. And now that I’m older, I sure am glad I listened to the so-called old folks. There is still one problem though…what’s up with the black socks and sandals look? No matter how old I get, please, please never let me wear black socks and sandals together in public. But seriously, getting older does have its advantages. It brings on discounted meals, road trips, not having to work unless you want to, sleeping in or staying up late, getting away with lots of stuff because people think you didn’t know any better…which is an act by the way, and having lots of people love and adore you because you are soooooo cute and sweet. I’m not a rocket scientist, but that sounds pretty cool to me. Now you know that getting older is an honor. We must never forget the wonderful treasure and wealth of knowledge that our so called older citizens have to offer. So please Honor them, love them, respect them and learn from them…except for the black socks and sandals. In closing, go so called old folks go! You are like aging antiques. You just get better and more valuable with time.
