The Town of Pleasant View Board
of Mayor and Aldermen held its
regular monthly meeting Monday.
The board’s usually second Tuesday
of the month meeting was moved
due to Veterans Day. All aldermen
were present for the meeting. It
marked the final meeting before
newly elected aldermen George
Leasure and Bruce Drake take their
seats on the board in December.
Mayor Perry Keenan said the
Cheatham County Chamber of
Commerce will be sponsoring a
$500 prize for “Best Decorated
Business” and Johnny & Alice Lindhal are sponsoring a $500 prize for
“Best Decorated Residence.” The
decoration contest, officially called
“The Pleasant Views of Christmas,”
is in conjunction with the town’s
Christmas tree lighting and parade,
both also sponsored by the chamber of commerce. The parade is
scheduled for Saturday, December
6. The tree at Balthrop Park will be
lit Friday, December 5. For more
information about the decoration
contest, contact The Cheatham
County Chamber of Commerce.
Kelly Ellis, Chairman of the Parks
and Recreation Board, told the
council an invitation had been
extended to the families of Charles

the Grand Marshals for the town’s
annual Christmas parade.
It was announced the return of
the town’s audit from the state
shows a fund balance $400,000
above the projected fund balance.
Lisa Parker, City Recorder, said
$100,000 in additional income and
$300,000 less spending in the previous years budget were contributing factors to the amount coming
in above projection.
Ellis, who also serves as the
Chairman of the Business Advisory Board, asked about action on
recommendations brought to the
council previously. She said recommendations had been made for
the sign ordinance, flooding issues
and the city’s master plan. She
asked, “Is there any way we could
speed up such recommendations?”
Alderman Danny Rediker told
Ellis any recommendation would
need to be included in the council’s
packets so it could be discussed at
workshop and brought before the
council at their regular meeting
and voted on.
Ellis questioned the board appointed liaison and what their
role in the process was supposed
to entail. She asked if it was not
the liaison’s responsibility to bring
those recommendations to the
board of mayor and alderman.
Rediker said it would depend on
how it was written in the bylaws of
the board.
A request to declare city property
on Main Street as surplus property
failed to gain approval. The property at the corner of Main and Bell
Streets was acquired by the city in
August 2013.
Rediker made a motion to not
include the property as surplus
property; the motion was seconded by Alderman June Nicholson.
Rediker said, “No more than we
would benefit from selling it right
now, property being the ultimate
collector’s item, it is just going to
grow in value. It is basically like
money sitting in the bank. The
questions is, ‘if you had the money
setting in the bank would you draw
it out right now to put into the
budget.’”
Nicholson said she believed there
were better things the city could
use the property for.
Mayor Keenan agreed with both
adding, “I think the city would be
well served to keep this particular
piece of property.”
Rediker’s motion was passed
unanimously.
Alderman Jordan Tupper gave
a farewell address at the end of
the meeting. He stated, “I want
to take this opportunity now to

thank you all for the unique chance
to represent the interest of Pleasant View families over the past 15
months. Being an alderman in
the city has certainly been a learning experience and I am grateful
to have so many great teachers to
guide me.” He added, “At 31 years
old, I am hopeful this is not my
retirement from public service but
an opportunity to focus on my
growing family for a bit.” He spoke
of accomplishments saying, “Since
August of 2013 when I became
part of this group we have seen
increased development, changes
in policy, forward progress toward
a stable financial future, as well as
the completion of several projects
and initiatives. Over the past 15
months we have accomplished
much. I challenge Mr. Drake and
Mr. Leasure to join this group in
continuing our progress in growth
as a city. I wish nothing more than
to see our city continue development of our parks and welcome
local expansion and new growth to
our community. In doing this I also
challenge this group to demonstrate
the fiscal responsibility previously
undemonstrated during the campaigns. Remember too, that our
community is changing, but its core
November 17, 2014
remains rooted in families and providing a safe place for our children
to learn and grow.” He urged the
oncoming aldermen, “please don’t
be afraid to think beyond one or
two months or years and go ahead
and dream big for our children and
grandkids.”
The Pleasant View Board of
Mayor and Aldermen returns to its
normal meeting time of the second
Tuesday for the month of December with that meeting scheduled
for Tuesday, December 9, 7:00 p.m.
at City Hall in Pleasant View. The
council’s next meeting will be their
workshop held Tuesday, November
18.

BOYTE, “Dot” Dorthy Helen
(Granny), age 90, left her earthly
home to go dance with the Lord on
November 8, 2014 after a short illness. Granny was born on March
21, 1924, grew up in Cab Hollow
(North Nashville) and retired from
Harvey’s Department Store in 1988.
She is survived by her “pride and
joy,” her grandkids Benjamin, Eli
and Abigail, as well as her son and
daughter-in-law, Chuck and Barbara
Boyte of Hendersonville. Also survived by nephews and nieces Bill
Morris, Charlie and Dianne Morris,

Susan and George Parker, Jack and Jo
Boyte, Tommy Morris, Greg and Paula

long time “partner” Tony (Rabbit)
Boyd, brothers Charlie Boyte, Elmer

by many dear friends including Doris
Burgess, Dot Knight, Nellie Boyd,
Bud and Edith, Bryant and Dean,
Patricia and R.B., Carolyn and all
her fellow dancing buddies at the
Ashland City Senior Citizen Center
and surrounding “dance halls.” The
only activity that Granny loved
more than dancing was cooking for
the people she loved. Thanksgiving
Dinners will never be the same without her special touch. The family
would like to send a very special

with Dot over many years. We will
never be able to repay your generosity. Service was held on November 11

Letter to the Editor
To the Editor:
Our times inundate us with news.
Media reports of the positive stories
do not generate profits for the media
outlets; as a result, we are fed a steady
diet of “bad” news. In all fairness,
shame on the media for this tradition,
but shame also on the public at large
for creating this market. Local gossip,
war, rumors of war, terrorists, our
own government or lack of it, crime,
budgets, the economy, education,
international and domestic affairs, our
national security, all these issues and
more – not to be diminished – capture
the lion’s share of media attention. My intention in this letter is to push
back against that media and social
tradition by commenting positively
on a local, Pleasant View business
– Doug’s Auto Sales. Why? Because
Doug Anderson and his team have
consistently served not only Pleasant
View and Cheatham County, but
others as well, in a manner and
organizational culture that is fast
dissipating from the American Scene
today. For the past 20 years, my wife and I
have been loyal customers of Doug’s
Auto Sales. Why? For the same reason
countless others have remained loyal
customers; a sincere willingness
to work with each customer as
an individuals, especially during
trying financial times and under a
variety of economic and personal
circumstances. In American society,
folks need vehicles to earn a living.
Most residents of Cheatham County
earn livings outside the county (that is
another letter for another time). I have sat in the current lobby of
Doug’s, and listened and watched
as they have literally made many
different arrangements to help folks
get a vehicle. Yes, Doug’s is a business
to earn a profit and a living for its
employees – like any other business,
but I’ve never seen a customer
gouged, cheated, taken advantage of,
or sold a “lemon” just to make a sale.
My wife and I know this first hand
with 20 years of buying quality preowned cars from Doug Anderson
and his team. I am excited that Doug will soon
open his new location behind the
Shell Station at I-24/Hwy. 49. My
wife and I rejoice in seeing local
business people grow and rise to
that proverbial “next level.” All
us residents of Cheatham County
should actively support our local
business, which have served our
county and communities for many
years. I also call upon our local
government officials to streamline
the process to allow our businesses to
grow and encourage new business to
establish themselves in our county. Cutos to you Doug’s Auto Sales,
and may God continue to bless your
business and much needed service to
our community! Barry Bazzell

Red Ribbon Week at SMS
Sycamore Middle School celebrated
its annual Red Ribbon Week for
alcohol and drug awareness October
27th-31st. This year’s Red Ribbon
theme was “Love yourself. Be Drug
Free.”
SMS had five dress up days: On
Monday students wore red to “Say
‘Yes’ to a Healthy Heart and Body.”
Tuesday’s theme was “Join the
Fight against Drugs,” and students
wore camoflauge items. “United we
Stand” was Wednesday’s theme and
students wore red, white, and blue. Hat day was Thursday with students
committing to “Put a cap on drugs.” Friday students were reminded that
“Smart People don’t do Drugs,” and
students wore shirt with college logos
on them.
Students also participated in a
contest to see who could correctly
answer daily trivia questions about
alcohol and drug abuse. Faculty and
staff joined in by participating in a
door-decorating contest to see which
homeroom could best demonstrate
this year’s theme. Mrs. Lamb’s
seventh grade class won that contest.
Eighth grade dedicated an entire
wall to their students with 8x10
pictures of each child complete with
what each 8th grader liked about
him or herself and why they would
not choose to take drugs. Our
Lifeskills class also got on board with
encouraging our student body to take
the pledge to be drug free by painting
their hands red and stamping them on
the pledge wall.
The National Family Partnership
organized the first Nationwide Red
Ribbon Campaign. NFP provides
drug awareness by sponsoring
I-24 Exchange
the annual National Red Ribbon
Celebration. Since its beginning in
1985, the Red Ribbon has touched
the lives of millions of people around
their commitment to raise awareness
of the killing and destruction cause by
drugs in America.
Enrique (Kiki) Camarena was a
the world. In response to the murder
of DEA Agent Enrique Camarena,
angered parents and youth in
communities across the country began
wearing Red Ribbons as a symbol of
Drug Enforcement Administration
Agent who was tortured and killed
in Mexico in 1985. When he decided
to join the US Drug Enforcement
Administration, his mother tried
Page 13
to talk him out of it. “I’m only one
person”, he told her, “but I want to
make a difference.”
On Feb. 7, 1985, the 37-year-old
Camarena left his office to meet his
wife for lunch. Five men appeared at
the agent’s side and shoved him in
a car. One month later, Camarena’s
body was found. He had been
tortured to death.
In honor of Camarena’s memory
and his battle against illegal drugs,
friends and neighbors began to wear
red badges of satin. Parents, sick of
the destruction of alcohol and other
drugs, had begun forming coalitions.
Some of these new coalitions
took Camarena as their model
and embraced his belief that one
person can make a difference. These
coalitions also adopted the symbol of
Camarena’s memory, the red ribbon.
In 1988, NFP sponsored the first
National Red Ribbon Celebration.
Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a
catalyst to mobilize communities
to educate youth and encourage
participation in drug prevention
activities. Since that time, the
campaign has reached millions
of U.S. children and families. The
National Family Partnership (NFP)
and its network of individuals and
organizations continue to deliver his
message of hope to millions of people
every year, through the National Red
Ribbon Campaign.

Opening tip for

Tough competition to start the new season
Sycamore teams
open with Hunter’s
Lane, Clarksville for
2014-15 basketball
By Lawrence Gunnells
I-24 Exchange Sports Editor
This week was a dramatic switch for
the sports department as Sycamore went
from football to basketball in full force
in less than eight days.
But they are on a full sprint already as
the Sycamore girls will play five games
in the first nine days, and both teams
have top-shelf competition to contend
with from the get go.
To top that off, we launched ourselves into the video world with our first
weekly coach’s shows, which can now
be seen on exchangehotspot.com, our
new website. Be sure to go check out
The Kim Taylor Show and The Toby
Miles Show and give us your feedback.
You can follow me on Twitter on @gunlaw or Facebook both by requesting me
as a friend, or going to our own page,
I-24 Exchange.
One thing producing the coach’s
shows is going to do for me is keep me
into the games and personalities on the
teams at a level I probably haven’t seen
since starting this job almost 10 years
Basketball season got a quick start
this week, and Sycamore’s challenging schedule for the first 10 games of
the season was in the forefront.
Sycamore’s girls faced two class
3A schools with much bigger, more
athletic players and turned them both
away, beginning their season, 2-0.
Hunter’s Lane came to Pleasant View on Tuesday for the opening game of the season. Sycamore
jumped out to an early lead, and won
running away, 64-36.
The Lady War Eagles suffucating
pressure defense and fast motion
offense kept Hunter’s Lane on their
heels for most of the night.
Four players were in double figures, led by freshman post Caity
Denney with 15. Brittany Crosby
and Colby Hunter each had 13, and
Abi Bliss had 12.
The Lady War Eagles played a
more disciplined Clarksville High
team on Thursday, and the start of
the game was much different, as Sycamore fell behind, 7-0 in the first two
minutes. The Lady Cats came out of

the blocks very fast, but once Sycamore
caught up to them, it was only a short
time until they kicked in their passing
gear, and came back to lead 19-17 at the
end of the first quarter. They never relinquished the lead from there, winning
66-53.
Again four players were in double figures, with Hunter leading at 20 points.
Crosby had 13, taylor Binkley had 13,
and Regan Gentry added 11.
The Sycamore boys ran into a talented Clarksville Wildcats team, falling
behind early. They fought back valiantly, but fell 68-43.
Clarksville took the War Eagles out of
their game plan early, giving them very
few second chance points and keeping
them in a half-court offense for the majority of the game. Head coach Toby
Miles had hoped for a different start.
“We need to rebound and get the ball
out quickly so we can use our speed,”
Miles said.
Sycamore had one player in double
figures, Tommy Stone, with 10 points.
The Lady War Eagles are on the road
Monday against CPA. Both teams will
be in action at home on Tuesday when
Hume-Fogg comes to town. They both
travel to MLK on Thursday for an early
Region 5-AA showdown.
ago. I’m very much looking forward to
it, and I hope it will be reflected in the
quality of our coverage as the season
progresses.
One thing I hit on during both shows
is the choice by both coaches to front
load the schedule with teams who are
likely to be bigger, faster, more athletic, and in some ways more talented. It’s
been a successful formula in the past.
Former Sycamore coaches Doug Worsley and Pete Froedden did it routinely to
prepare their teams for district competiton and deeper runs in the post-season.
Both these teams will have their opportunities when District 9-AA teams hit
their schedule, beginning in December.
Don’t forget about college football.
We’re beginning the third week of what
will become the “real college football
season” from now on. The College
Football Playoff committee began releasing their rankings three weeks ago,
and frankly, their opionions are the only
ones that matter anymore. No more
BCS formulas of combining a number
of polling organizations. No more speculation about whether your team has a
strong schedule or not. The messages
from the committee have been clear, but
it is not reducing the level of excitement
the sport brings.

Page 22 NorthCrest Earns ‘Top Performer’ Award
NorthCrest Medical Center today
announced it has been recognized
as a 2013 Top Performer on Key
Quality Measures® by The Joint
Commission, the leading accreditor
of health care organizations in
the United States. NorthCrest was
recognized as part of The Joint
Commission’s 2014 annual report
“America’s Hospitals: Improving
Quality and Safety,” for attaining
and sustaining excellence in
accountability measure performance
for heart attack, heart failure,
pneumonia, and surgical care.
NorthCrest is one of 1,224 hospitals
in the United States to achieve the
2013 Top Performer distinction.
This is the fourth year
NorthCrest has been recognized
as a Top Performer. NorthCrest
was recognized in 2010, 2011,
and 2012 for its performance
on accountability measure data
for heart attack, heart failure,
pneumonia, and surgical care.
NorthCrest is one of only 147
hospitals nationally to achieve the
Top Performer distinction for the
past four consecutive years and the
only hospital in Tennessee to achieve
Top Performer distinction in heart
attack, heart failure, pneumonia,
and surgical care for the past four
consecutive years.
The Top Performer program
recognizes hospitals for improving
performance on evidence-based
interventions that increase the chances
of healthy outcomes for patients with
certain conditions, including heart
attack, heart failure, pneumonia,
surgical care, children’s asthma,
stroke, venous thromboembolism
and perinatal care, as well as for
inpatient psychiatric services and
immunizations.
To be a 2013 Top Performer,
hospitals had to meet three
performance criteria based on
2013 accountability measure data,
including:
Achieving cumulative performance
of 95 percent or above across all
reported accountability measures;
Achieving performance of 95
percent or above on each and every
reported accountability measure
where there were at least 30
denominator cases; and
Having at least one core measure
set that had a composite rate of 95
percent or above, and (within that
measure set) all applicable individual
accountability measures had a
performance rate of 95 percent or
above.
“Delivering the right treatment
in the right way at the right time
is a cornerstone of high-quality
I-24 Exchange
health care. I commend the efforts
of NorthCrest for their excellent
performance on the use of evidencebased interventions,” said Mark
R. Chassin, M.D., FACP, M.P.P.,
M.P.H., president and CEO, The Joint
Commission.
“We understand what matters
most to patients at NorthCrest is the
quality and safety of the care they
receive. That is why we have made
it a top priority to provide positive
patient outcomes through evidencebased care processes,” said Randy
Davis, NorthCrest President & CEO.
“NorthCrest is proud to be named a
Top Performer as it recognizes the
knowledge, teamwork and dedication
of our entire hospital staff.”

Performer program, visit http://www.

not-for-profit community hospital,
has been providing compassionate,
quality healthcare since 1956. With a

November 17, 2014
Commission has recognized
NorthCrest for the fourth consecutive
year as a top performer on key quality
measures concerning the treatment
of heart attack, heart failure,
pneumonia, and surgical care and has
awarded NorthCrest with advanced
certification for primary stroke
centers. NorthCrest has also been
named an exemplar hospital by the

The
Pleasant
View
I knew.
-Walter
Cernol
Williams
More Pleasant View businesses
Editor’s note- This first ran in the
I-24 Exchange in 2006 with a column
by Walter Cernol Williams who
wrote about Pleasant View decades
before it became incorporated in
1996. We found it fitting to run this
column again since it included the
Court Motel that was on Highway
41A that was recently leveled to
make way for new construction.
During the 1930’s and 40’s the
grocery stores, hardware store, bank
and other businesses on Main Street
were the heart of the Pleasant View
business district. There was also a
blacksmith shop located at the end
of Spring Street operated by Mr.
Leander Vann. A large spring near
I-24 Exchange
Page 23
Go War Eagles!
the shop provided water for many
of the local residents especially
during dry spells. There was an
earlier blacksmith shop near the
same location. It was reportedly
operated by “Parson Butler.” Mr.
Butler earned this name through his
preaching according to stories passed
down to me. He had a bell installed
and “called in” the worshippers
on Sunday morning for religious
services. The shop was also known as
“Parson Butler’s Tabernacle.”
The business district of
“downtown” prospered but a
new opportunity came with the
completion of Highway 41-A. This
major north-south highway ran
from Copper Harbor, Michigan to
Miami, Florida passing through such
major cities as Chicago, Indianapolis,
Evansville, Nashville, Chattanooga,
and Atlanta. As the economy
prospered more people from
northern states such as Illinois and
Michigan vacationed and wintered in
Florida. This major thoroughfare and
the increasing affordability of people
to travel brought tourists through
Pleasant View.
Several local residents
recognized and took advantage
of this opportunity. Mr. Tillman
Head had a service station on the
southwest corner of the intersection
of Highway 41A and Highway 49.
This was a scheduled Greyhound
Bus stop and was known as Midway
Service Station presumably because
it was approximately midway
between Nashville and Clarksville.
Mr. Mather Bidwell operated “Twin
Towers” located diagonally across
from Midway. This business housed
a restaurant on one side and a
service station on the other. Mr.
Ernest Williams operated a garage
on Highway 41A just southeast
of Highway 49. “Mr. Ernest” was
well known and admired for his
mechanical ability. The steam engine
on display at the Livery Stable
Antique Mall is a testimony to his
mechanical genius. Mr. Wesley James
operated White Way Grocery and
Service Station near the present
location of Horizon Travel Center.
The Blanket Store, a highway
gift shop that catered to tourists
and sold everything from souvenirs
to blankets, rugs and bed spreads
originally opened in Springfield
but later moved to Pleasant View as
tourists seemed to prefer this section
of the north-south route. Its original
Pleasant View location was about
where Pennington Construction
office is now located but later moved
about one-half mile southeast toward
Nashville. During my high school
days and even into college I worked
for Mr. C. N. Pearson and Mr. &
Mrs. G. Webb Cowan who owned
this business. The Blanket Store
was widely known for its extensive
advertising consisting of numerous
black and white signs along Highway
41-A. The building is presently
occupied by Morgan Furniture.
My father worked at General
Shoe Corporation in Nashville. In
the early 50’s he built a small motel
known as Pleasant View Court,
which he operated for several years.
As my father and mother grew
older and they converted this into
apartments. I can’t say that they
made a lot of money in this venture
but they certainly made a lot of
friends.
When I think of the old
businesses and then see the present
growth in the town it is hard to
believe the changes that have
occurred. I used to kid my mother
that the people of Pleasant View
must have plenty of money since it
took three banks to hold all of it.
