  • Kathy Woodson of Eagleville has incorpo-rated her love for animals into her Rockvale Elementary classroom by introducing a pair of sweet and cuddly mar-supials, known

    as sugar gliders, to her 3rd grade students. Kathy has used pairs of these sweet nocturnal animals for nearly 12 years in her teaching, as an incentive for her students to raise the bar in their academic perfor-mance. Students who score a 100 on their reading test for example, are rewarded with the experience and responsibility of caring for these little guys who crave attention and have the tendency to devel-op very strong bonds with their owners.

    While sugar gliders are native to the rainforests of New Guinea and Australia, these exotic pets have become increasingly popular in households across the United States with the help of people like Kathy, who’s love for these little animals spurred her to create a flourishing business appropriately named “Sugar Gliders R Us”. Sugar gliders frequently are mistaken for small flying squirrels, but they are in no way related to rodents, Woodson said. They have soft, fur-covered skin that stretches from their front legs to the back legs which act as their wings.” They’re also nocturnal by nature, even though they can be trained to be active during the day and rest at night, Woodson said. Just like kangaroos, in-fant sugar gliders are called joeys and fe-males have pouches. Gliders usually live 12-15 years with the right care. They can glide over 150 feet, Woodson

    Named by early set-tlers in the 1780s, the Harpeth River derives its name from an ancient Chinese legend in which two brothers vie for the attention of a beautiful woman. After “Harpath” wins her affections, his brother prays that a mountain would fall up-on him. Fearful, “Harpath” avoids the mountains, only to drown in a river whose origin flows from them. This river would forever be knows as the “Harpath River”, and is what several scholarly settlers used as their basis for naming what we know as the Harpeth River. The Harpeth River flows through much of the scenic local landscape. In fact, the head-waters are right here in Eagleville on Hwy. 99, approximately 3 miles east of town. The Tennessee Department of Environmental Conservation has determined that the Harpeth Riv-er is not meeting all state water quality standards. This can be attributed to the region’s rapid growth and storm water runoff, or *non-point source pollution. As a result, the Harpeth River Watershed Association has secured state government grant funding from the Tennes-see Department of Agriculture in efforts to provide the enhancement necessary to return the river, its banks, and its wildlife back to its delicate ecological balance.

    GENERAL SIGN-UP FOR CRP IS SET FOR SPRING RE-ENROLLMENTS AND EXTENSIONS AUTHORIZED

    The Farm Service Agency announced Jan. 31, 2006 that all Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) participants who have a contract due to expire in 2007 will be allowed to extend or re-enroll their contacts. All CRP partici-pants who are eligible will be notified by letter. Producers will also have the chance to enroll for the first time into CRP this spring. A general sign-up will be held from March 27th through April 14, 2006 at your local Farm Service Agency offices. Eligible producers for these contracts would be enrolled for ten years. Cost-share assistance to sow down the land would be available and then producers would receive an an-nual rental payment for the next ten years. Payments in Rutherford County usually fall within the range of $45-$50 per acre. Eligibility requirements include: the land must have been cropped four out of the last six years and the land will be evaluated based on five enviromental factors (wildlife, water, soil, air and enduring benefits) and cost. If you have land that is on a slope, as erosion problems and has been cropped, you may be eligible for this program. Please come by the Ruther-ford County FSA Office at 315 John Rice Blvd during the specified sign-up dates to enroll in this program.

  • otherwise, it’s encouraged that they be purchased as a pair. Sugar gliders prefer a large cage in which there is plenty of room to run and exercise. A machine washable pouch is needed for them to feel protected as they are noc-turnal and sleep during the day. Sugar gliders will need fresh fruits and vegetables, in addition to a high end dry glider food. As their name alludes, sugar gliders have the ability to glide over 150 ft. with the use of the membrane that ex-tends from their front wrists to their ankles. A small leash is recommended to keep them from gliding away. Purchase sugar gliders only from a licensed and knowledgeable USDA breeder.

    If you are looking for an unusual pet you might just find it right here in Eagleville. Give Kathy a call and she’ll be glad to introduce you to your new best friend.

    Visit www.sugarglidersrus.com on the website where glider owners can find a complete line of glider foods and supplies, plus all kinds of information for the new glider owner. Many of the items on the site are handmade. Kathy’s aunt, Judy Kelley, makes pouches. While hus-band, Charlie makes the wheels that they love to run in. Woodson’s gliders have been placed in loving homes in over 30 states.

    said, which is why she uses a small leash, which she makes to keep them from getting spooked and gliding away. Kathy’s daughter, Robbie, 18 now, loved them imme-diately and persuaded her mother to start raising them – although she doesn’t like to sell them. Woodson and her husband Charlie spend a lot of time taking care of the animals. He doesn’t exactly share her love for animals, she said, but they do spend a lot more time together now. It’s not always quality time,” she said laughing. Kathy’s weekend are usually spent traveling across Tennessee and surrounding states, setting up booths at flea markets and tourist attractions where she connects these warm and friendly animals with their new owners. An in-dividual sugar glider generally costs $200, while a pair usually costs $350. She has became so busy that Sugar Gliders -R-Us, as she likes to call her small business now employs over 15 folks that are glider lovers as well. With the help of her friends Sugar Gliders-R-Us now has loca-tions in Bowling Green KY, Sweetwater, TN, Morgan-town, NC, The Great Smokey Mountains, Hartselle, AL, and the newest location in Myrtle Beach, SC. You may also see her at places like Bell Buckle, Mule Day, The Goat Festival, or The Tennessee State Fair.

    Like with any pet, Kathy encourages would be owners to take careful consideration prior to the purchase of these pets. While sugar gliders are typically easy to care for and low maintenance, there are several things to keep in mind: Sugar gliders love attention and lots of contact with their owners. They are very happy being very close to you, whether it’s riding around in your pocket or in a spe-cial hanging pouch around your neck. These pets require daily “quality” time, which is essential to their welfare,

    A DAY WORTH WHILE

    I count that day wisely spent, In which I can do good. For someone who is far away, Or someone in my neighborhood. A day devoted to the deeds, That lends a helping hand. And demonstrates a willingness, Too care and understand. I long of being useful, In little ways and large. Without a selfish motive, And without any charge. Because in my philosophy, There is never a doubt. That all of us here on this earth, Must help each other out. I feel that day will be fruitful, And the time is worth the while. When I promote the happiness, Of one enduring smile. And thank God for it, as a cup of blessings. Oh let me be more grateful for the care, With which we are surrounded everywhere. When life seems just a dreaded grind, And things seem fated to annoy our time. Say something nice to some one else, And watch the world light up with joy. Let love abide and be our guide, And Jesus will be satisfied. I want Him to be satisfied with me, Don’t you?

    Edward McClelland, grandson of George and Flora Lowe and great-great grandson of Chesley Wil-liams, “The Father of Ea-gleville”, wrote the follow-ing article. Edward lives in Texas and has in his posses-sion copies of many docu-ments that belonged to the Williams family. Chesley Williams was born July 22, 1809 in Wil-liamson County about two miles west of College Grove, to the Rev. James and Sarah (Allison) Wil-liams who were both born in North Carolina. Sarah was the daughter of Robert Allison Jr. and Sarah Ogilvie. Chesley was the eldest of five boys and five girls. By 1812 the Williams

    family resettled two and one half miles north of Chapel Hill on what is now 31A and established their home Civil Order. That name was coined after a permanent house was built and James declared, “Here I will have law and order.” In addition to being a Methodist minister, James Williams was a farmer, skilled tailor and merchant. Civil Order had many activities that were not the usual farming operations of that day. It had a sawmill, tannery, gristmill, black-smith shop, cotton gin, church, tailor shop, post office, store, wine cellar and silk worms to produce that fiber. James would ride horseback to Cincinnati to order new goods for his store and have them sent by riverboat to Nashville. Slaves would then haul them the remaining distance. The Methodist Conference met at Civil Order one year and James went to the church conference in Baltimore in 1814. It was from this lat-ter trip that he introduced a new poem to the area that would become our national anthem – the Star Spangled Banner. It was undoubtedly this varied production and merchandising environment that Chesley learned and honed his business acumen. During his youth he had ample opportunity to observe numerous business activities in which he engaged throughout his lifetime. One story survives from Chesley’s boyhood. John Weakly Covington told of a young Triune couple, William Demonbreun and Mary Adaline Patton, who decided to elope and get married at Sister Charity Allison’s near Unionville. It was decided that Rev. James Williams perform the ceremony. Young Chesley accompanied his father to the wedding. As the wedding began with everyone in place, the best man could see out a side window that two boys were in a spirited fistfight. The two scrappers were Chesley and his first cousin, James P. Allison. Following the nuptials as the re-ception began; the sweaty and bruised boys came in for pound cake and cider. *“This rivalry between the two cousins was to be instilled into the people of the two villages that they would sponsor. Chesley Williams has often been referred

    to as ‘the daddy of Eagleville’ and James P. Allison deserves the same title at College Grove. This rivalry continues until the present day as the annual Christ-mas Eve basketball game attests.”* (Tales My Grandmother Told Me”, by John Weakly Covington, 1963 Triune: Two Centuries at the Crossroads, 2004). Chesley Williams married Elizabeth Jordan, daughter of Thomas Jordan and Sophia Reevy Hyde of Triune, on December 10, 1830. They had ten children – three boys and seven girls. The center of Chesley’s business ventures was the Williams Store, which he started in 1832 in Eagleville. He also became a partner in the Hawkins Store in Triune with Tom Perkins and Edward L. Jordan. After a short time Chesley re-signed from this partnership in the Triune community. The Williams Store operated under Williams’ ownership for 135 years until it closed in 1967. Many will remember the store as more than a retail outlet. It was a spot where the community could gather to chat and hear the news and gos-sip of the day. Tobacco was allowed as the spittoons attested. Chesley passed the store on to his sons, James Chesley (JC) and Robert Ed-ward about the time of his death in 1892. But Robert soon left Eagleville, so JC assumed ownership until 1910 when he gave it to his son, Edward Lesley Wil-liams who became the last proprietor. As the façade on the building indicates, the store was remodeled in 1936. During the Civil War the store was burned on an Eagleville raid by Union troops, and Chesley attempted to be paid reparations from the federal government. It is not known whether he was successful. For such a small outlet the Williams Store sold a wide range of goods. A 1909 inventory valued all the merchandise at $8,368, or about $170,000 in to-day’s dollars. Mainstays were dry good and clothing, including foot ware. House wares and flat ware were also inventoried, as well as such foods as coffee and tea. Hardware and farm implements were available for sale. As the local pharmacist Chesley sold a wide range of medicines and chemi-cals. Inventory records show that many of the substances available for sale would be illegal today. Such narcotics as codeine, morphine, cocaine and opium were stocked. How many of these products were purchased without a doctor’s prescription is not known, but addictive substances were widely used in the last 19th century. Another area of sales was to the Greenwood, Vernon, Little Rock, Williams, and Eagleville Public Schools. The Eagleville Academy also had an account. Schools did not buy and inventory their supplies as they do today. They bought them as needed. Expendables such as crayons and chalk were bought at a dime a box on a weekly basis. The Williams Store also stocked textbooks. Schools also made other seasonal purchases. A number of brooms were sold at the beginning of each school year, and when they were worn out. This was also the peak sale of buckets and dippers, indicating public water supplies were truly public at local educational institutions. In addition, the Williams Store sold the school ropes and well buckets. Records show Chesley sold regularly to the Eagleville Baptist Church, but there are no records that he sold to other local churches. They may well have made cash purchases, while the Baptist’s maintained a credit account. The most frequent sales were coal oil and lamp chimneys. From time to time new win-dowpanes were needed. Sales activity at the store can be gleaned from the collection of Chesley Wil-liams’ records that have survived. First, cash sales show that business was high-ly seasonal, mirroring activity in the local agricultural community. A small in-crease in sales in the spring coincides with the higher spending to meet the needs

  • office once more from 1893 to 1897 with James C. Williams at the helm. From 1897 to 1909 the Republicans again got the job, Robert S. Brown, Jr., holding the office. Republicans holding the office of postmaster must have been a thorn in Chesley’s side. Surviving correspond-ence shows he challenged the Browns’ appointments, which turned heads in the government. Chesley wrote to U.S. Representative James D. Richardson in Washington, D.C. in the 1880s asking the Postmaster General to make a change in the job in Eagleville. That request was turned down because the policy was not to remove any incum-bent from office except for just cause. An example of the policy was the Shel-byville post office where someone wanted a Mrs. Wisener removed, but that request was positively denied by the Postmaster General. A change in Eagleville was not made until Brown’s term expired. (Chesley Williams articles to be continued.)

    EAGLEVILLE TIMES Page 11

    Chesley Williams required for planting, while the larger increase in sales at year-end reflected an-nual harvest income by farmers. The percentage of cash sales to total sales is not known, but credit sales were significant to overall operations of the Williams Store. Accounts receivable rec-ords show most local families, including the Williams, purchased most goods on credit. Interestingly by today’s standards, Chesley did not charge interest on out-standing balances and no minimum monthly payments were required. To be successful for such a long period of time the Williams’s operated prof-itably. First, profits were ensured by wide margins to offset the lack of interest on outstanding balances. Credit accounts were paid down whenever the custom-er acquired cash, even small sums. Payments in the summer suggested sales of such items as fruits, vegetables, etc. Seasonal sales of fall crops provided farm-ers with most of their income. These payments funded the annual peak in sales and allowed customers to pay down outstanding debts. By in large, credit ac-counts were paid off at yearend. The second thing that Chesley did was to take advantage of the trade credit that was offered to him by wholesalers and manufacturers. Payment records show that cash discounts of 1% or 2% were available on most merchandise sold at the Williams Store and occasionally 10% was offered. A 2% discount may seem slim. However, if the turnover of the item was fast enough the annual rate of discount, or savings, could be well into double digits.

    Chesley Williams was the second postmaster in Eagleville, succeeding Wil-liam Nunn in 1836. He held the office 30 years, longer than any other person. John W. Christopher assumed the office in 1866, and was replaced by Robert S. Brown, a Republican, in 1870 that ran the post office until 1885. Then Chesley’s youngest son Robert held the office for four years and was succeeded by James W. Brown and then Robert S. Brown again until 1891. The Williams held the

    Eagleville students contributed money to a very worthy cause last week.

    Habitat for Humanity was looking to raise money through schools to build houses for needy families in Rutherford County. We asked each person to give a dollar to benefit this cause. Our own As-sistant Principal Bill Tollett made a bet that if we could raise more than $500, he would shave his head. This became a reality on February 23 when we exceeded our goal and raised over $800. Mr. Tollett's head was shaved by expert barber Officer James Da-vis. All of the proceeds will bene-fit the Habitat for Humanity program in Rutherford County.

    Tom Hatcher and his wife Nancy lives in Nolensville, Tennessee in a log house that Tom built himself. He is retired from Bridgestone Tire & Rubber Company after 30 years of service and now spends his time training Tennessee walking horses on his 30-acre farm. Tom graduated from Eagleville School in 1958 and married Nancy Burkhalter from Nashville in 1962. They have 3 children of which one is deceased. His daughter, Dana Kaye has three children and his son, David is presently serving in the Marines and is stationed in North Carolina. Da-vid served in the Pacific and in Iraq, returning home in September 2005. He and his wife are expecting their first baby in July.

    True Values Are Found Within Family and Community By Tom Hatcher

    In 1951 the J. B. Hatcher family moved to a farm one mile south of Eagleville. There were three of us brothers attending Eagleville School. Howard, a sopho-more, Bob in the eighth grade and I was in the sixth grade. We were just like the other boys and girls around Eagleville, who thought their parents, were the best parents in the world. That is the way everyone should feel. The families who played a big part in molding us into being successful in our lives were the McCord, Shelton, Lamb, Redmon, Bell, Elmore, Marshall, Cross-lin, Rigsby, Wade, Puckett and Chick and of course, our Mother and Daddy. After raising my own family, the more I appreciate the way we were raised. James Battle Hatcher and Katherine Pitts Cotton were married on February 5, 1919. James was 27 and Katherine was 26 years old. James (Jim) died August 9, 1982 at the age of 90 and Katherine (Katie) died July 3, 1988 at the age of 95. Sixty-three years they lived together and that must be some kind of record these days. The older I get, the more I thank God I grew up in a normal, loving family. I never heard my parents screaming and fighting with each other. Never once I heard my daddy utter a curse word and if I ever said anything that even remotely resembled one, well, let’s just say I never said it again. Thinking back, I guess the loudest thing I ever heard while growing up in our home was the time Mama hollered at me for throwing her soap water out the back door. She was going to mop the floor with it. My daddy was a farmer and mama a housewife. My five brothers and I were very lucky. In their 63 years together they raised us six boys and through it all they saw the worse of tough times. My Daddy worked six days a week, daylight to dark, but on Sunday he took us all to church. For as long as I’ve been in this world, Daddy did the work of three men. Now, I’m a husband and a Daddy and I have to say, I honestly don’t know how he did it. There were lots of times when we couldn’t get the things we wanted, and there were times when Mama had to make our food stretch so we would have enough to go around. I can only guess of the sacrifices they’ve both made over the years, so we all could have the things we needed. Of course, as a child, I thought I was deprived. They couldn’t let us have every little thing we wanted, or do every-thing we wanted. Can you imagine? I was convinced we were definitely abused. But I know now, we were some of the luckiest, richest boys in the county, if not the world. Mama and Daddy definitely had the odds stacked against them. They didn’t have money, but they kept us all together and to their day we all love each other very much. They also managed to instill in us a strong faith in God, a sense of respect for them and for others, a fierce loyalty to family and tradition and a deep love for our home and our roots. These are some of the qualities I want my own children to have. In a time when we are hearing so much about family values and broken homes,

    I feel especially proud and fortunate to have been born to my parents. They helped me to realize what “the good life” really is. If Mama and Daddy were here today, I would tell them, thank you and I love you both very much.

    EAGLEVILLE FCE CLUB NEEDS COMMUNITY HELP

    The Eagleville Family and Community Education Club (FCE) has three projects that needs community donations of small medical equipment, soft drink can pull tabs, and greeting card fronts. The donated small medical equipment is for the United Cerebral Palsy’s Equipment Exchange Program that aids anyone with a disability, the elderly, and people with mo-bility issues. It is not just for people with cerebral palsy.

    Families receive equipment through the program at no charge for the equip-ment. The exchange program wants only usable equipment; no broken items. The most needed items are tub transfer benches, bath chairs, walkers, canes, crutches, and standard wheel chairs. The soft drink can pull tabs are donated to the Ronald McDonald House to help in funding the running cost of the house. The Ronald McDonald House provides service to the parents of sick and injured children at Nashville area hospitals. The greeting card fronts are shipped to Helpers of the Mentally Retarded for them to make new greeting cars for public sale. If you have any items to donate, please call Juanita Carlton 274-6292, Marga-ret Rigsby Hall 274-3318, Alberta Hedge 274-6191, Mary Alice Lamb 274-6289, or Nina Merritt 274-6556 to schedule a pickup or delivery date. Community cooperation makes projects successful. Successful projects will bring aid to many needy people.

    News From Ms. Lewis’s Third Grade Eagleville School

    The class visited the web at nbc.com to find out how many Olympic medals each country has received in these winter games. Each student was as-signed a country and made a bar graph showing the number of gold, silver and bronze medals that their country has re-ceived. Each student drew their countries flag and made a spotlight map that showed where their country is located. This is dis-

    played in the hallway outside Ms. Lewis’s classroom. The class seemed to enjoy this assignment and we learned a lot about the Olympics.

    Do Any of You Remember the Rutherford County Blue

    Ribbon Parade ? By Jane Shelton

    In the late 30’s and early 40’s a giant step for-ward in the overall health improvement of children in Rutherford County was the creation of the Ruth-erford County Health Department.

    The Health Department instituted a Blue-ribbon campaign in the grammar schools to promote good health among the County school children. Each child was required to be vaccinated for smallpox and to have his or her teeth, ears and eyes examined. Each child was to fill out a daily report on his or her health habits plus several other requirements. The program was a huge success. Every child who successfully passed all of the requirements would be given a Blue Ribbon Badge and would partici-pate in a large Parade which would begin at their school on a school bus. They would ride to Murfreesboro, then walk around the square, accompa-nied by bands, fire engines and cheering on lookers. Then they would board the school bus and be carried by to school. One of Eagleville’s own “Margaret Perrell Ryan” was one of the partici-pants to march in the Blue Ribbon Parade. This is a memory she cherishes. Any of the readers who remembers or participated in this program, we would like to hear from you.

    What a differ-ence 4 years makes! From no players to 7 & 3. – Coach Scharsch

    Danny Bingham welcomed coach-es, dignitaries,

    players and families to the 2005 football banquet. After the blessing given by Aaron Fisher, those attending enjoyed the food and conversation. The menu consisted of steak, chicken, salad, and a baked potato as well as pies and a commemorative cake for desert. Coach Jason Scharsch took the podium to introduce Mr. Jeff Jordan of WGNS Sports, the keynote speaker for this year’s banquet. Mr. Jordan has 30+ years experience coaching various sports in the area as well as numerous years as a radio personality. Additionally he is also fondly known as retiring Head Manager, Alicia May’s grandfather. He spoke on a wide variety of topics including Eagleville’s pursuit of championship status, getting to the playoffs fast-er than any other school in county history, and the unend-ing support of the Eagleville coaching staff and faculty members. Mr. Jordan also stated that “One of the best games I’ve ever seen was the second half of the away game against Chapel Hill.” Before Mr. Jordan finished, he had challenged the boys to be their best and to do some-thing great for someone else.

Rounding out the night, the Eagleville Football Booster Club recognized the hard work and ded-ication of the Football Cheerlead-ers.

The girls were each present-ed with a certificate as well as a silver charm bracelet (with cheerleading themed charms). The bracelets are a new addition to the banquet this year. For each year of participation, begin-ning with the 2005 football season, the cheerleaders will receive another charm to add to their collection. We have been approached by cheerlead-ers, coaches and parents, all hoping that the long overdue tradition will con-tinue. Coach Scharsch was presented a collage of team pictures from the boys.
