Cheatham County School District
Selects Teachers of the Year
ABOVE: A tractor trailor rig left Highway 49 near BJ’s Restaurant, skidded 150 feet and damaged two driveway headways Monday night. The
driver said an oncoming car was in his lane.
On Wednesday, I-24 East around Marker 23 was the scene of another
tractor trailor wreck. That rig was reportedly transporting sulfuric acid.
No spill was detected but traffic was rerouted at Maxey Road for most of
the day.
Investigations continue in both accidents.

Kristi Seiber was the lucky
recipient of a gift basket from
Heritage Bank’s apple-themed
campaign. Heritage Bank staff
members “planted the seed” for
customers to seek information
about a variety of products and
services. One winner was drawn
at each of the bank’s eighteen
locations to take home an applethemed gift basket as a special gift.
Registration was open to the public.
“I have never won anything in my
life!” commented Seiber. “One entry
into the drawing and ‘I’ won.” When
Office Manager, Lorraine Ridgley
called Ms. Seiber to let her know she
was the winner, Seiber was making
homemade apple butter. Ridgley
commented, “Now that’s a perfect
combination!”
For nearly two decades Heritage
Bank has employed the premise
that we’re more than a bank, we’re
your neighbor. “This is not just a
slogan, this is truly a philosophy,”
added John Peck, CEO. “We are and
always have been committed to the
people and the places where we
both work and play.”
Heritage Bank has been in
continuous operation for more than
135 years. The bank was chartered
in 1879, in Hopkinsville, KY.

When Everything Is Gone
Job 19: 23-26
What can you do when you loose
everything? That was the question
facing the Old Testament sage, Job.
To many it would appear that he
had literally lost every thing that he
had. Once a man of great wealth
and power, he was now reduced to
poverty and sickness.
His enemies had driven off his
flocks and herds. A mighty wind
had come and taken away his children. His body was covered with
painful ulcers. He was reduced to
the status of a lonely beggar, sitting
on a pile of ashes and scratching his
sores with a fragment of a broken
jar.
Only his wife was left and she
was so depressed with their misery that she urged Job to “curse
God and die.” Pretty desperate
wouldn’t you say?
To make matters even worse,
four of Job’s friends come to console him. All they did was to suggest reasons for his pitiful plight.
Although each one of them had
his own pet theory as to just what
had gone wrong and what Job
needs to do to fix things, it all
comes down to the idea that he
has committed some great, secret
sin and that God is punishing him.
According to them Job needed to
confess his wrongdoing and get
“right” with God.
Truth be known, Job wasn’t being
“punished” for anything. Two
things were going on. Satan was
trying to tempt Job. At the same
time, God was allowing Job to be
tested. Job did not surrender to
temptation but passed the test.
Job’s faithfulness under pressure
resulted in some wonderful results.
First, and most important, God
was glorified by the faithfulness of
His loyal servant. Second, Satan
was soundly defeated. Third, Job
was given a much deeper insight
into the workings of God than he
I-24 Exchange
We keep you in the know!
www.exchangehotspot.com
Page 7
had ever had before. Although,
the book of Job is thought by many
scholars to be at least one of the
most ancient writings in the Old
Testament, Job was given an amazing insight regarding the coming
Redeemer.
We can learn some lessons from
Job’s situation. First, when someone else has “trouble” we are not
wise to speculate as to why they are
going through hard times. It is not
ours to say whether they are being
punished or tested.
Second, when we experience difficult days, we are wise to ask how we
can bring glory to God out of our
adversity. Some of the most vital
testimonies are given by those who
are most sorely tested.
Third, we need to try to learn
what God can teach us in times of
testing. We can take courage in the
fact that God doesn’t let His children suffer needlessly.
Although Job’s testing was painful
God used it to bring Him glory, to
defeat Satan, and to bless Job.

First Baptist Church of Pleasant

Pet of the Week
Meet Mr. Elliot!
Elliot is the perfect gentleman!
He’s not one of
those dogs that
wants to jump all
over you and get
pushy with kisses.
He is perfectly
happy to walk
calmly on his leash
and check out the scenery by your
side. He is about 5 years old so he is
well past his puppy chewing stage and
more into just hanging around with
his people. His beautiful blonde brindle coat is simply striking!
His perfect home will be with adults
and older children. Elliott gets along
well with other dogs but, like most
boys, he would prefer a well-matched
girl dog. He has
not been tested
with cats but we
are always happy
to do so.
The adoption
fee for Elliot is
$50. He has been
neutered and
has had all of his
shots. For information on adopting Elliot, please contact Cheatham
County Animal Control at 615-7923647 or [email protected]. We are
located at 2797 Sam’s Creek Road in
Pegram, about ten minutes off River
Road outside of Ashland City.
Come meet Elliot and see if his
calm personality is what you’ve been
looking for!

her love of Christmas music. This year her enthusiasm spread to her first period
RTI class who had just finished reading a novel called “Because of Mr. Terupt.”
In support of the book’s theme, the students spent their classtime one morning
making cards to send to radio station Mix 92.9. The station was doing a project
called “Cards from Kids.” All cards collected were delivered to nursing homes

Sycamore basketball trends
continue to mirror last year
Lady War Eagles get last big test this week;
Boys team still trying to finding winning formula
By Lawrence Gunnells
I-24 Exchange Sports Editor
Things continue to roll for Kim Taylor and the Sycamore Lady War Eagles,
now 8-0 in District 9-AA. Sycamore is
staying on pace to meet the accomplishment of last year’s team who went 12-0
in the regular season.
But, at this writing, their biggest test
of the year is looming, as the Lady War
Eagles were set to face Westmoreland
at Sycamore on Friday night.
The Westmoreland Lady Eagles have
played Sycamore to their closest victory in the district this year, when they
won at Westmoreland, 42-40.
Sycamore got their seventh and
eighth district wins against Harpeth and
White House in the last week.
The Lady War Eagles beat Harpeth,
61-32, last Friday. Brittany Crosby had
16 points to pace Sycamore. Taylor
Binkley had 15 and Coby Hunter had
11.
On Tuesday, the girls beat White
House, 57-18, after jumping out to a
16-0 lead in the first quarter. Crosby
was again leading scorer with 17.
Unfortunately, the War Eagles continued to struggle, staying in the games
until the fourth quarter in most cases,
but not finding enough consistent offense to sustain.
Against Harpeth, Sycamore led 2221 at the half, but were outscored in the
third quarter by 10 points to eventually
lose 59-47.
Matt Brown had 17 to lead the War
Eagles.
Against White House, it was much
the same story, as the War Eagles only
trailed by one at the half, 27-26, hanging in despite double digit turnovers in
the first half. But they had a third quarter power outtage of sorts, getting outscored by eight points. They eventually
lost 67-53.
Landon Hogan had 22 to lead Sycamore.
Sycamore beat Westmoreland at their
place so they will be looking to help
their record on Friday.

Crosby
led the
Lady War
Eagles in
scoring
twice this
week.

‘Inflategate’ just a
distraction for the
Super Bowl crowd
So, what are the chances that Bill
Bellichek, Tom Brady, and a host of
other New England Patriots knew that
the footballs used in their 45-7 AFC
Championship win were slightly “deflated” sometime during the game?
I’d say very good.
What are the chances that the Patriots
have cheated on numerous occasions
about various and sundry other rules,
some of which may have actually affected the outcome of a game?
I’d say very good.
What impact is this going to have on
the outcome of this year’s Super Bowl,
and on how many people watch it?
Very little.
The number of people who watch the
came next Sunday is likely to top 100
million. Many of those people watching
will have little to no knowledge of “inflategate.” Many of those people will
not have watched more than a couple
other football games this year.
In other words, they won’t care.
Many of the issues that football fans,
commentators and critics discuss about
the National Football League--the violence on the field and off, the unbelieveable sums of money the players
are paid, the even more unbelieveable
sums of money the owners make, and
the question of whether a quarterback
that is making his sixth Super Bowl appearance somehow gain an advantage
by letting air out of the footballs he
used to get there--well, very few people
are going to turn their TV’s off because
of them.
Football, particularly the NFL, seems
to be transcendent when it comes to
what would be “major” issues. The
popularity continues to grow, and the
money stacks get even higher.
Add to that the fact that the Super
Bowl is “an event,” and draws the attention of the world for several hours
in February, and suddenly big and little
things get rationalized...all for the sake
of a little thing called money.
Who would have thought.

met at the Pleasant View Volunteer
Fire Administration building where
Educational Opportunities in the town
were discussed from representatives
of the Buchanan Beauty School, the

View Christian School & Day Care.
Following these discussions the
group traveled to the Pleasant View

Officials included Mayor Perry Keenan
and Vice-Mayor Danny Rediker, John

the operations of the I-24 Exchange
newspaper. The class then enjoyed
lunch at the Pleasant View Diner which
was followed by presentations of both
the Health Services and Police Services
from Dr. Fred Nordquist and Chief Tad
Wheeler respectively.
The day wrapped up with a visit to
the Pleasant View Milling Company
where the Binkley Family were so kind
to welcome the group and discuss the
history and operations of the business.
Finally Chief P.J. Duncan treated the
class to a discussion regarding the
Emergency Services in the town. The
Chairperson for the day was Donetta
Hedges and the Co-Chair was Tammy

the New Year in the Town of Pegram
at Town Hall where presentations were
made by Chuck Neese (History to
Present – Pegram Community Club),

The class will reconvene on
February 10, 2015 where they will
get to enjoy all about the Town of
Kingston Springs.
Now in its 19th year, LCC’s purpose continues to be focused on the
enhancement of individual leadership
skills, abilities and community knowledge while fostering a free exchange
of ideas and concerns. In addition
LCC aims to help develop a positive,
cohesive community image and foster
attitudes of increased commitment,
cooperation and participation within
our community for the long-term
benefit of Cheatham County.
The LCC program consists of nine
monthly seminars, group discussions,
field trips and retreats that address
various issues of importance in
Cheatham County. Participants will
view and gain a hands-on knowledge
of the county’s history, agriculture
and tourism offerings, in addition
to seeing how the education system,
businesses and industry, safety services and government operations
all work together within Cheatham
County and its four cities.
Each participant will also be
involved in the development of a
group project that will benefit the
county as a whole. Previous classes
have completed such projects as the
development of the county-wide fire
plan, the county animal control facility, satellite early voting locations, the
Cheatham Vision Plan, an anti-distracted driving campaign for county
schools among many others.
