In this f l o u n d e r i n g economy, spending money on a loved one may seem like an extravagance, but in Mt. Juliet shoppers are still buying for Valentine’s Day, local retailers said, with price and location in mind. “I think because of the economy right now, people are more apt to do something to bring life back, to brighten someone’s day,” remarked Carry Ann Misamore, owner of Fresh by CarryAnn. She said her fl ower shop, located in the Providence MarketPlace beside Kroger, is “right on

track for Valentine’s Day.” Misamore said her shop is different “because we have a menu” of fl owers

and arrangements to choose from, including “price point options.” “Our price

point options help people with how they spend their money,” she said. “We have arrangements from a dozen roses, to boxed roses, mixed a r r a n g e m e n t s , cubes, ranging in price. Also, our repeat customers know they’re going to get the best for their money – they know what to expect and know they’ll be satisfi ed.” M i s a m o r e stressed the importance of buying locally, adding that there is no delivery charge for Mt. Juliet residents. B u y i n g locally is also a main focus for Sheila Nipper, owner of

Dot & Stell’s on Mt. Juliet Road. She said that while the economy has affected her business, she has seen the shift in c o n s u m e r b u y i n g and made adjustments within her business. “People have changed their buying habits and are buying less expensive i t e m s , ” she said. “They’re also buying more inspirational and humorous items, and we’ve changed our purchasing to refl ect that.” Nipper said she has cut expenses at the boutique, and the only employees are her and her daughter, Hilary. She added that while she buys new items to “keep the displays fresh and different,” she’s working more with the items she already has in her inventory to keep expenses down. “It’s hard to gauge sales,” she said, “especially for a holiday like Valentine’s Day. People are buying, just not as much.” But Valentine’s Day is traditionally a holiday for decadence and extravagance, which includes jewelry. Ryan Wolfenbarger, a manager at American

Jewelry at Providence MarketPlace, said his store is “doing great,” with sales percentages up this year over last. “Traffi c is very good,” he said Monday, admitting that Valentine’s Day sales are still a few days off. “People are still buying, they’re just more conscious of price and value.” He said that while ticket price sales have decreased 30% in the last six months, the number of sales are up. He attributed this partly to being a preferred dealer of Pandora, a line of charm bracelets that is popular at the moment. W o l f e n b a r g e r added that traditionally the majority of his customers are from Mt. Juliet, but due to the store’s location in Providence nearly half of

Through the diligent work of Mt. Juliet Assistant Public Works Director Cajun Joyner, the City of Mt. Juliet this week received a much-needed grant to help fund the reverse L section of the eastern connector that will help provide safe passage to the new Mt. Juliet High School. The Tennessee Department of T r a n s p o r t a t i o n (TDOT) has allocated $1.5 million in an Local Interstate Connector (LIC) grant to help fund the reverse L section of the eastern connector from the Beckwith Road interchange at Interstate 40 to Hwy 70/Lebanon Road, TDOT representative Nancy Sartor said Monday. “As everyone knows, State funding has been scarce,” Sartor said at the check presentation at Monday night’s Mt. Juliet Board of Commissioners meeting, “so this is a particular coup.” Sartor added that Joyner had “worked tirelessly” for the LIC grant. Mt. Juliet City Manager said Sartor herself has been instrumental in several Mt. Juliet road projects, including the development of the I-40 slip ramp, describing her participation as “absolutely vital.” But in less optimistic fi nancial news, C.L. Overman with investment giant Morgan Keegan approached City leaders with a review of information that was initially discussed at the commission’s off-site meetings on Feb. 6: two variable bonds issued in 2000/2001. In order to fund road projects, in 2000/2001 the City was issued two loans – named A-8-B and IV-J-2, currently with $2.65 million and $4 million in outstanding principles, respectively. A bond insurance company, AMBAC, insured the bonds.According to Overman, prior to the downgrading of bond insurers in the 2008

fi nancial fallout, the City of Mt. Juliet had the highest credit quality (Moody’s “Aaa”), lowest interest rate variable debt available in the A-8-B loan as well an interest rate swap on the IV-J-2 loan which was performing well with a 4.09% swap rate. As a result, the City of Mt. Juliet realized savings from the historically l o w

variable interest rate environment during the past several years as well as a reduction in debt portfolio volatility through the swap. When the sub-prime market fi asco and global fi nancial volatility resulted in the downgrade of bond insurer AMBAC, the credit support provider for the City of Mt. Juliet variable rate bonds, Morgan Keegan was able to obtain letter of credit support for the A-8-B loan. The loan is currently trading at 1.43%. Because the underlying variable rate bond credit support has been downgraded, J.P. Morgan, the liquidity provider for the IV-J-2 loan, has declined to renew the liquidity support for the loan. This event has triggered accelerated principal payments effective March 1 of $141,000. The problem is not the swap but the underlying variable rate bond downgrade. The swap on the IV-J-2 loan should be preserved for future benefi t to the City. While termination of the swap would currently be an expense, in the future termination of the swap could result in a termination payment to the city. The current low interest rate on the A-8-B loan is due to the letter of credit support. However, the renewal letter of credit supporting these bonds (and other issuers’ bonds) is not assured due to the Regions Bank, who holds the letter of credit, downgrade which

occurred last week. Basically, the City of Mt. Juliet has a $141,000 loan payment due March 1 and due each quarter afterward due to the failing credit rating of its bond insurer. “It’s not anything we did or anything or anything you did in decision making,” Overman said. “This is a

global economic issue. This same situation is happening all over the state of Tennessee – the municipal bond market basically shut down in the fall.” O v e r m a n had several

recommendations for the City, including the refunding of both the IV-J-2 and the A-8-B loan be authorized to fi xed rate. He suggested

their customers are “brand new.” “They’re either from another town or have just moved to Mt. Juliet,” he said. “Either way, they’re shopping and spending their

money in Mt. Juliet.” Wolfenbarger also attributed Valentine’s Day sales to the fact that the love holiday falls on a Saturday for the fi rst time in fi ve years. “We’ve experienced an increase in sales of 10% this week,” he said. “I think

it’s a good time for people, even though the economy’s bad, to go out on a Saturday night and maybe eat dinner, spend some time with their wife or girlfriend. I think they’re more likely to go out and spend some money, just not as much as before.”

refunding the loans to pay off and fl oat another bond, which he likened to refi nancing a home, replacing the variable with a fi xed rate loan. Robertson, however, said that city offi cials “need to call in some very, very heavy-duty professionals” to assess the situation. “We need to take a deep breath and have someone look at this who is not in the middle of it,” Robertson said. “We need to deconnect ourselves in entirety from this situation.” Robertson said, both during and after the meeting, that he and City staff are in talks with an outside, local banker “who might want to do that (take on the amount owed by the City) in its entirety.” He added that the City still has bond money

borrowed for road projects which could help pay off the bonds, as well as State Street Aid funds available. In other business, commissioners approved as amended on second reading to amend the current Zoning Ordinance for conditional use permits for religious facilities. The amendment applies to churches locating in an existing, functional facility. C o m m i s s i o n e r s unanimously approved the donation of the Rickland Willey property on S. Greenhill Road to be used as a city park. There are currently fi ve conditions placed on the deal by the property owners, and City Planner Lisa Keylon added that the land will also have to be approved by the county when the city begins using it as parkland, considering it is technically located in the county, and will have to be annexed. C o m m i s s i o n e r s unanimously approved the revised City personnel manual as amended, on second reading. On second reading, commissioners approved by a 3 – 1 vote to amend the City budget to purchase identity theft insurance for seven City employees and two “elected offi cials” in the wake of the personal information of those people being accessed by District 2 Wilson County Commissioner Chris Sorey. Mt. Juliet District 3 City Commissioner Ed Hagerty voted against, reiterating his opinion that those affected by the information

breach should pursue it on a personal level. In an attempt to change the exit sign on I-40 from Belinda Parkway to Providence Way, commissioners unanimously voted to rename a portion of Belinda Parkway. This move results from the TDOT mandate that exit signs must refl ect the name of a street. City offi cials are concerned that interstate drivers are missing the slip ramp exit to Providence MarketPlace because of the Belinda Parkway sign and hope that a sign reading Providence Way will clarify the issue. Some 1,500 linear feet of Belinda Parkway on either side of the slip ramp off I-40 will be renamed Providence Way. In new business, commissioners - excluding Mt. Juliet Mayor Linda Elam, who was absent due to illness – unanimously approved on fi rst reading to amend the Mt. Juliet Code to include the indemnifi cation of City employees, current or previous, and board of commission members, in the event of a lawsuit. Commissioners also unanimously approved to amend the budget to allocated $20,000 to correct drainage problems around the Mt. Juliet Community Center at Charlie Daniels Park and funding for the new skate park, as well as allocating funds for the new Rickland Hills Park. Amy Mitchell was also unanimously approved to serve as a member of the Mt. Juliet Parks board.

The expression “wearing your heart on your sleeve” comes from a Valentine’s Day party tradition. Young women would write their names on slips of paper to be drawn by young men. A man would then wear a woman’s name on his

sleeve to claim her as his valentine.

More Wilson Countians are currently employed than were employed one year ago, according to records kept by the State of Tennessee. Employment statistics released last week by the Tennessee Department of Labor and Work Force Development show that Wilson County’s unemployment rate increased in December to 6.5 percent, a .6 percent jump over the previous month. However, data from the state labor department shows also that more people are employed in Wilson County this year than were employed one year ago. According to information provided by the state, 54,590 persons in Wilson County were working at jobs in December, the most recent reporting period, compared to 53,800 for the

same period last year. Despite a rising unemployment rate, Wilson County has been able to keep its work force numbers at the same level or slightly

above last year’s marks. Offi cials explain that employment numbers are being maintained because of growth in population being realized in Wilson County. The unemployment rate is up substantially over last year’s rate for the same period but in Wilson County there has also been a substantial growth in population. The total available local work force in December, according to the state’s data, was 58,360. The total work force for December of last year in Wilson County was 56,800.

While Wilson County is feeling the pinch of an ailing economy, it is noted by many in the area, including some area retailers, that county payrolls in several cases

are remaining constant and that there are still more people here with jobs this year than last.

The state’s unemployment rate overall is at a 22-year high standing at 7.9 percent. At 6.5 percent Wilson County ranks ninth in the state among counties with the

lowest unemployment rates. Williamson County had the lowest unemployment rate in Tennessee in December at 5 percent and Perry County in West Tennessee had the highest at 20.1 percent.

State: more employed in Wilson County this year despite higher unemployment rate

At 6.5 percent Wilson County ranks ninth in the state among counties with

the lowest unemployment rates.

Stoner Creek Elementary School’s PTO has started a new fundraiser, and this time no one is going door to door with order sheets. The PTO now has its own travel website that returns a royalty commission for every booking or sold item on the site. On-line fundraising and donations have exploded in recent years as can be seen by the millions and millions of dollars President Barack Obama brought in through his internet donation efforts. There is a stark difference between the two however; Stoner Creek PTO’s fundraiser is considered passive income and won’t cost its supporters a dime. People travel every day and 80% of them use the internet to make their plans. SCE’s travel website is there to take advantage of the money its supporters are going to spend on travel anyway. And it doesn’t cost the traveler any more to

use www.scemarket.com, SCE PTO’s site, than it does to use Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity. In fact, SCE

PTO’s site is powered by the same web engine that powers Travelocity – ensuring the same competitive rates you would get elsewhere. More powerful than the big three however, www.scemarket.com has Extras like ordering Flowers, buying tickets to everything from Miley Cyrus to a Broadway Play to the Predators, Health

and Beauty items and of course Cruises. The site also includes searches like Hotels.com, Hotrate hotels

and an advanced Hotels search to make sure you get the best rate when you travel. F o r businesses that buy tickets on-line, there’s even a travel profi le log-in that will remember your favorite preferences like aisle seats, compact cars and trips without layovers. It’s truly a great way to support Stoner Creek Elementary without coming out of pocket to help. Soon there will even be an icon you save to your desktop for easier access to the site. For more information about Stoner Creek Elementary’s on-

line fundraiser, contact Dan Morris 615-804-2846, an SCE PTO dad.

B e i n g the grandson of a legendary civil rights leader cannot be easy. When that civil rights activist is also the spiritual leader of a nation the family tie takes on even more weight. Arun Gandhi shares his unique e x p e r i e n c e s , and his vision for peace, in an In t e rna t i ona l Speaker event at Volunteer State C o m m u n i t y College on February 13. M a h a t m a Gandhi began his fi ght for justice in South Africa. It is where his civil disobedience methods fi rst came to action. The young lawyer soon took the cause home to India, where he organized the poor, peasants and women, in campaigns to ease poverty and expand human rights. His grandson, Arun Gandhi, stayed behind in South Africa, struggling with the racism and strife of apartheid. He found himself a target for not only white violence, but also black anger. His parents, worried about constant beatings, moved him to India to be with his grandfather. It was an 18 month visit at one of

the most turbulent times in Indian history. Arun

Gandhi witnessed the non-violent struggle of Mahatma Gandhi and his followers to end British rule and bring independence for India. Arun Gandhi moved to the United States later in life and founded the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence. He now speaks to audiences world-wide about how to put non-violent action to practical use. Gandhi is coming to Vol State as part of the TnCIS conference, which is the Tennessee Consortium for International Studies. “Arun Gandhi’s background and the time he

spent with his grandfather give him a unique perspective on international events,” said Dr. John Espey, dean of business at Vol State, who is helping to organize the conference. “His message of non-violence is very appropriate for the times we are in.” Arun Gandhi will speak in a public event on Friday, February 13 at 3 p.m. in the auditorium at Caudill Hall, on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin. The event is free and everyone is invited. For more information call 615-230-3570.

Gandhi grandson to speak at Vol State

Arun Gandhi witnessed the work of his grandfather fi rst hand. He brings his story to

Middle Tennessee Elec-tric’s Customers Care made a special donation of $15,000 to Wilson County Communi-ty Help Center this week to assist needy members with payment of electric bills.

“It’s our hope these chari-table monies will help those in need,” MTE Customers Care Board Chairman Dor-etha Wright said. “The whole purpose of this organization is to fi nd ways to use these monies and channel the funds back to worthy com-munity causes.”

MTEMC Vice President of Marketing and Communica-tions Chris Jones said these funds came from members who round their monthly bills to the nearest dollar through the cooperative’s Operation Round Up pro-gram.

“Our members who give to ‘Round Up’ made this possi-ble,” Jones said. “Hopefully, this will provide some relief for those who are having a hard time paying their elec-tric bills in an already tough economic climate and dur-ing the peak season for high energy usage.”

It is the responsibility of the MTE Customers Care Board, which is composed of seven MTEMC members, to evaluate grant requests and send the ‘Round Up’ monies back into the communities Middle Tennessee Electric serves.

For more information, members can contact Wil-son County Community Help Center’s Gail Proctor at (615) 449-1856.

Refl ections from anOld Friend

Be Nice! One of my favorite quotes is: Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. How true! And sense that’s the case, from this point forward, I am asking everyone to try their very best at doing unto others, as you would have them do unto you. One example includes littering. Littering costs everyone. It takes a toll on our resources, our property values, our wallets, and is an insult to our great community and country. Littering is simply passing the buck. When you pass the buck, the rest of us are left with the bill, the bill of cleaning up the mess left behind. Another example is respect: Respect is when you speak kindly of others or say nothing at all, respect is when you open a door for your wife, family member or a complete stranger who has their hands full, respect is when you don’t endanger the lives of others by driving under the infl uence, speeding, tailgating, respect is not telling lies, cheating, hurting, murdering and so on. Life is so very short when you really think about it. We all have hurts, sorrows, worries, highs, lows, concerns, deadlines, aggravations and feelings that can be offended, hurt or damaged. With that being the case, let’s all start being more civil, kind, understanding, forgiving, helpful and loving to one another. In closing, nothing is ever accomplished without sincere effort and a positive attitude. Good will always prevails over indifference and divisiveness. Please do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.
