award children’s books written under his pen name, Dr. Seuss. He published over 60 children’s books, which
were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His
most notable books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, and One Fish

Lebanon mayor to county squires:
reconsider Mar. 16 tourism tax vote
By Tomi L. Wiley
Managing Editor
In a project that
local leaders say will be
more beneficial to Wilson
County than just one city,
the mayor of Lebanon wants
county commissioners to
reconsider their convictions
“I just want the opposing commissioners to take a step back, look
at this and realize the city and county is not at any harm to allow
the developers to take the next step.”
on the Lebanon Bible Park
development before a final
vote March 16.
The issue lies with a
5 percent tourism tax that
Bible Park developers are
requesting be placed on sales
of merchandise inside the
park only. Revenue from this
tourism tax, which Lebanon
City Liaison Sue Akins
Siens said is commonly put
to use by entertainment and
sports venues, will be used
to pay for bonds taken out
by Bible Park developers to
pay for the construction of
the park.
“It is a very
commonly used mechanism
for entertainment and
sports-related projects,”
Siens said. “The City of
Lebanon and the county
will not be responsible or
liable for repayment of any
bonds.”
The County
Commission’s approval
of the tourism tax is also
necessary for BPU Holding,
LLC -- the developers of
the park -- to assemble a
financing package to present
to possible investors in order
to fund more than $100
million for the project. This
finance package will also be
given to the Wilson County
Industrial Development
Board, consisting of financial
professionals from across the
county and three attorneys,
to review and approve before
signing off on bond issues

He reiterated his hope
that county commissioners

a new light before casting
their vote on the 5 percent
tourism tax on March 16.
“This is a much-

for the whole county and
will address needs for

their many business trips
together, he was curious
about this obsession. One
day, his partner Peter “Otto”
Abeles would tell him his
story. And that he did. The
result was Otto, the Boy at
the Window, a book they
co-authored and published
in 2001. Since then, this
story has taken on a life of
its own.

Scrooge, Tom met Mt. Juliet
playwright Bill Dorian, who
was the narrator in the
production. For some time
Hicks and Abeles had been
discussing the possibility of
having Pete’s story developed
into a stage play. This
chance meeting of Hicks and
Dorian resulted in the stage
version of Abeles’ story. It
debuted in Nashville in 2007
with excellent reviews and
was named “Best Original
Holocaust Drama” by Martin
Brady of the Nashville
Scene. This May and June,
Otto Productions will once
again bring this story to life
with shows in Mt. Juliet and
Hendersonville.
Abeles was born in
the early 30’s in Vienna,
Austria and was raised by
an emotionally abusive
mother and a father who
took no real interest in him
or his older brother, Heinz
Robert. The family lived
in an upper middle class
Jewish neighborhood with
all the modern comforts,
including a chauffeur and
a maid. The year prior to
the Anschluss his father
had even been named the
“Businessman of the Year”
for the city of Vienna. But,
on March 12, 1938, the
Abeles’ world and that of all
Jewish families in Austria
was about to suddenly
change for the worse. After
nearly losing everything,
including their lives, Peter’s
father was able to make
contact with two American
Abeles’ families who would
ultimately sponsor them
and bring them to Chicago.
In addition to the
stage play, William Dorian
has also written a screen
play that is attracting a
number of well known actors
and directors and is slated
to begin production in the
late fall or early spring of
next year.
The stage production
will run for two weekends
(May 15-17 & 22-24) at
Encore Theatre in Mt. Juliet
and one weekend (June
5-7) at Steeple Players
Theatre in Hendersonville.
For interested actors, the
auditions will be held on
March 8th from 2-4 p.m. and
March 9th from 7-9 p.m. at
Encore Theatre Company
located at 14905-A Lebanon
Rd. in Mt. Juliet and again
on March 15th from 2-4 p.m.
and March 16th from 7-9

(18-30). Additional roles
are available for 8-10 men of

Antique Automobile Club of America to host
2009 Special Spring Meet in Middle Tennessee
The Middle
Tennessee Region of the
Antique Automobile Club
of America (AACA) has
been selected to host the
international organization’s
2009 Southeastern Special
Spring Meet in Lebanon
Thursday, June 11 through
Saturday, June 13. Regional
officials indicate that more
than 700 fellow members
from across the nation,
including some national
club directors, are expected
to attend various activities
of the three-day event in
Wilson County.
The national club,
established on November 4,
1935 in Philadelphia, began
with 14 enthusiasts. Today,
the worldwide organization
boasts a membership
of nearly 60,000 and
Tennessee claims 16 active
regional clubs statewide. All
members are “gearing” up for
the club’s 75th anniversary
in 2010 and celebrations are
expected around the globe.
Most activities of the
2009 special spring meet,
including food vendors, a flea
market and entertainment,
will be held on the grounds
of Lebanon’s James E.
Ward Agriculture Center,
home to the AACA’s Middle
Tennessee Region club. The
general public is invited to
attend these activities free
of charge and many local
enthusiasts are expected to
be on hand to view a vehicle
competition scheduled for
Saturday between 11 AM
and 3 PM. The competition
will be held in the Fiddler’s
Grove area of the Ag Center
and will include various
classes of vehicles. Trophies
will be awarded to the autos
judged to be excellent
examples in their respective
categories.
The three-day meet
will prove to be a very
positive influence on several
Wilson County businesses.
Lil’ Paul’s Smoke House,
located near the Agriculture
center, will be the event’s
official caterer for several
functions. Special group
rates were extended to the
organization by two award
winning hotel properties,
the Comfort Inn and the
Comfort Suites of Lebanon.
Other hotel properties
are also standing by to
assist with any additional
accommodations that may
be needed.
Randy Moore and
“The Fabulous Suedes”
will provide special
entertainment on Friday
evening. The Nashville
based band, known for its
“feel good music” and voted
“best local band” by the
Tennessean, is comprised
of members with impressive
resumes that highlight
affiliation with some of
the best entertainers that
Nashville has ever produced.
This group of professionals
performs an array of music,
from country and rockabilly
to blues and classic rock &
roll. There is rumor that
remarkable impersonations
of two late and great
entertainers, Johnny Cash
and Minnie Pearl, are
included in the line up.
This will greatly enhance the
event’s country theme and
attendees are certainly in for
an unforgettable evening of
special entertainment.
“Our club is elated
to have been chosen to host
this spring meet”, said Glenn
Edwards, Club Secretary
and chairman for the

Reflections from an
Old Friend
Are you a loafer?
How forgetful do you consider yourself? Do you regularly forget stuff, do you have to
leave yourself voice messages, and are there post-it notes all over the interior of your car and on
your desk? Well, you are not alone. With our ever increasing workloads and busy lifestyles we are
all finding it harder and harder to remember stuff. As a result, we have more and more devices
to help us remember stuff we need to do. We have personal voice recorders, post-it notes, voice
mail, e-mail and dry erase boards. Some of us even use napkins to write reminder messages on.
We’ll pretty much use whatever is available to keep us from forgetting to do stuff.
The brain is incredible, but even the brain needs to rest every now and then. I had a
local doctor make a pretty neat comment and it immediately inspired me to write this article.
He said that we had forgotten how to let our brains loaf and rest. Think about that statement
for just a moment. The brain seldom if ever takes a break. The more we demand of it, the more
overworked the brain gets. The brain must get a chance to loaf or the rest of the body and our
health suffers. The doctor further asked, when was the last time you just let your brain loaf?
So ask yourself this question, when was the last time you just sat on the porch and listened to
the birds, watched the clouds and relaxed with Mother Nature without thinking about something
else? It’s true; we never really allow our brain to loaf. The brain is always working and we owe it
to ourselves to give it a break every once and a while. We have to get back to a simpler time of
taking time to relax with family, friends or just ourselves.
We also must get back to the basics. For example, many of us have lost contact with our
immediate family. We no longer eat dinner at the dinner table; we no longer communicate about
our day and regularly find ourselves complaining more and more. I don’t believe we have become
a society of complainers, I simply think that we are worn out, over worked and under relaxed.
This lifestyle in time this leads to a bleak outlook on life which in turn takes its toll on our mind,
body and soul.
This is not a problem that occurs over night or affects just a few. This is a problem
that happens to most of us overtime. The end result of not letting the brain loaf is missed
opportunities, regrets, irritability and sarcasm. Life is way to short to live life this way. So please
remember to spend time with family and friends and let the brain loaf every now and then. There
is only one you and you must take care of yourself. Are you a loafer?
