UMC wins race to locate in MJ
By Tomi L. Wiley
Managing Editor
A Wilson County
hospital is “starting a
foundation of footprints”
in Mt. Juliet with the
announcement Monday of
an arm of the facility locating
in the heart of town in a new
business complex on N. Mt.
Juliet Road.
University Medical
Center Chief Executive Officer
Vince Cherry announced
that the hospital will open
a medical
facility in

across from
City Hall on
N. Mt. Juliet
Road, in early January.
The office will initially
include Dr. Darshana Patel,
practicing internal medicine,
from Louisville, KY, and
Dr. Charity Weldt, a family
practitioner.
UMC Business
Development Director Anna-
Lee Cockrill said Tuesday
that another doctor will join
the group but has yet to be
confirmed. She added that
specialists will be in the office
“a couple of days a week,”
including a cardiologist,
gastroenterologist, an
orthopedic surgeon, and
plastic surgeons. The office
is set, Cockrill said, to open
January 4.
“Mt. Juliet is very
important to us, and this is
what we think will be most
beneficial for Mt. Juliet right
now,” she said. “We will
start with this facility and
expand.”
In other medical
professional news,
Cumberland University
President Dr. Harvill Eaton
was also present at Monday’s
meeting with news of his
own, saying that the school’s
new adult nursing program,
locating in the Shiloh Plaza
on Lebanon Road, will begin
the third week in January.
“Our goal is not to
duplicate education services
available elsewhere but to
bring Mt. Juliet education
that is not available
anywhere,” Eaton said.
Eaton added that
the program is the only
one of its kind “leading to
a Baccalaureate degree in
nursing in the mid-state
area.” He said there will
be three programs a year
– in January, June, and
September – with around 50

Elam, can you justify people
that are out of work paying

about time you politicians
start thinking about the
difference between right and
wrong. It’s also time that “We
the People” are the ones
that say when you part time
politicians get a bonus or pay
increase. You politicians are
our employees and it’s time
that we vote on any perks or
raises that you think that
you deserve. So put it on a

Ribbon cut on ‘safe passage’ for students

City, county, and state officials braved the cold Tuesday to cut the
ribbon on what is commonly known as the reverse L, the third leg
of what will eventually be the Eastern Connector, a road which will
run from the Beckwith Road interchange on Interstate 40 to Hwy
70 (Lebanon Road). The reverse L was designed for the safe passage
of students to and from the new Mt. Juliet High School on Curd
Road. Mt. Juliet Public Works Assistant Director Cajun Joyner,
with scissors, was instrumental in the completion of the project and

Holiday Crime Prevention Measures
With the holiday season upon us, we should take advantage of and use any and all extra
crime prevention, safety and security measures available to prevent becoming the victim of a
crime. One such measure is to be on the look out for drunk drivers. The number of drunk or
drinking drivers increases around the holiday season.
If one intends on drinking, they should plan ahead and get a ride to and from an event,
if for some reason you end up drinking and didn’t plan on doing so, simply either stay where
you are and call either a friend, family member or a taxi cab to carry you home. Taking these
measures will save you money, accidents, injuries, jail time and even your life.
Another measure to take is to use common sense. During the holiday season, thieves
and burglars scope out local subdivisions and business parking lots looking for Christmas gifts
stored in automobiles. When shopping or storing gifts in your vehicle, always either cover the
gifts or store them out of sight or in the trunk of your vehicle. Never leave gifts in your vehicle
over night, unless locked away and out of sight.
Another thing to consider is the day after Christmas. Drive through any subdivision or
community the day after Christmas and you’ll notice lots of empty boxes at the curb of people’s
yards and driveways. These boxes usually have things like 27-inch color television, hi-fi stereo
and sound system or any other expensive brand name you can think of on the box.
This is a bad practice that should be avoided if at all possible. This practice simply
advertises to any thief or burglar that you just received more valuables for him or her to steal. If
you have boxes the day after Christmas, simply break down the boxes and place them in trash
bags. This may seem like quite a bit of work, but it is well worth the effort.
In closing, don’t make burglarizing your home or automobile easy for a thief or burglar.
Who knows, maybe if we make it tough enough on them they’ll actually get jobs and buy the gifts
themselves, like the rest of us.
