HISTORY OF DICKSON COUNTY

The Charlotte Courthouse sometime between 1916 and 1920 before the building was expanded. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE RAGAN FAMILY

Editor’s note: The following is an brief overview of the history of Dickson County, gathered together by Alan Ragan using research, the Ragan Family’s Skits and Bits column – written by his grandfather Henry Ragan and now by Alan – and the family histories of longtime county residents.

Dickson County was born

Railroad, major roads change county

The Tennessee General Assembly passed a bill creating Dickson County from portions of Montgomery and Robertson counties on Oct. 25, 1803. The county, the 25th of Tennessee’s 95 counties, was named for William Dickson, a Nashville physician and statesman who served in Congress at the time. Although Dickson never lived in the county named for him, his relatives played roles in its early development.

Nature spurs development The fertile soils and natural resources drew settlers to this area in the

early 1790s. North Carolina, Revolutionary War and Tennessee land grants assured large tracts of land at little or no cost to these pioneers. The discovery of iron ore provided the foundation for the area’s first industrial development. In 1793, James Robertson, the “Father of Middle Tennessee,” purchased land on Barton’s Creek. It was on this tract of land that Robertson built the first iron works on Tennessee’s frontier. In 1804, Robertson sold his furnace to Montgomery Bell industrialists. On Aug. 4, 1804, an act of the Tennessee General Assembly created the Town of Charlotte to serve as “The Seat of Dickson County Government.” The county

With the completion of the railroad from Nashville to the Tennessee River in the 1860s, the focus shifted to the southern end of the county. Also, the construction of the “Broadway of America,” or U.S. Highway 70, and the construction of Interstate 40 – which both also pass through southern Dickson County – have also shaped the county. Other significant dates in Dickson County history: May 10, 1864 — The railroad was

The museum sits on the site of four previously managed railroad hotels. In 1912-13, J. T. Halbrook, a successful Dickson businessman, purchased the site and had a twostorey brick hotel constructed. It was a welcome stopping place for weary rail

passengers as well as the growing ranks of travelling salesmen known as “drummers.” In 1917 the Hotel Halbrook was managed by Belle Goad and her daughter, Maybelle. During their management, the hotel was known for good food, excellent service and hospitality, and clean rooms. While helping manage the hotel, Maybelle met and married Robert Clement in 1919. Their firstborn, Frank, was born in Room #5 in June 1920. After many years of planning, the newly renovated Hotel Halbrook opened in June 2009 as the Clement Railroad Hotel Museum. The Hotel Halbrook is a Tennessee state-owned historic site and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

DICKSON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

or over 90 years, the Dickson County Chamber of Commerce has been working to develop economic opportunities, support community initiatives and promote Dickson County as a great place to live, work and visit. One of the Chamber’s key objectives is to attract new industries to the County. Working together with the Dickson County Industrial Development Board, the local utility companies, local and state governments and volunteers, the Chamber actively markets available properties and engages with prospective employers on a state, regional and national basis. Dickson County’s close proximity to Nashville, the 840 loop and Interstate 40—together with the natural beauty, great schools and quality of life—make it an ideal location for new industry. But that’s not their only focus. Jennie Wagner, our office manager and bookkeeper handles an average of 450 calls each month from people seeking information on businesses, services or local events, and they mail out packages every week to people considering relocating to or visiting Dickson County.” The Chamber also recruits through its Web site, www.dicksoncountychamber.com, which includes everything from vital statistics to event calendars to more in depth detail on Dickson County communities and landmarks. Monthly luncheons are held to facilitate networking and keep members abreast of important local, state and federal issues. Aspen Anderson, the newest team member, is Director of Membership Services and visits new businesses as well as current members to make the chamber presence more known in the area. The Chamber also sponsors seminars to assist business owners with marketing, customer service, taxes, technology and other issues affecting their businesses. A monthly newsletter recognizes new and renewed members as well as many articles about current events in Dickson County and within the chamber and other statistical information. In 2012, the Chamber held the inaugural Dickson Farm, Home and Garden Show in March at the Dickson County Fairgrounds and this year the event will be continuing. The event is a new County tradition, and an important fundraiser for the Chamber’s Agricul-

ture Committee. Today, the Chamber comprises about 410 members and a 15-member board of directors. Tourism Director Rhonda Adams has increased tourism expenditures by 36 percent over the last decade, bringing more than $50 million in tourism dollars to the county. The Chamber’s efforts have increased the number of sports tournaments, attendance at festivals and other events, and brought new tour groups and conferences to the County. The Chamber promotes Dickson County at trade shows, through targeted advertising and in magazines such as Bank Travel, Farm and Home, Tennessee Connections and the Tennessee Vacation Guide. Education Edge is an organization of educators, civic groups, parents, local government and business leaders dedicated to constantly improving local educational opportunities. Chamber Board Member Dana Ramsey leads a steering committee, made up of many alumni of Leadership Dickson County as well as many local educators and business leaders, in developing the goals and strategies for the program, which has been recognized as one of

the top 10 programs in the nation by the Council for Corporate and School Partnerships. The Leadership Dickson County program is currently led through the Leadership Dickson County Alumni Association, and is an intensive, nine month program (meet once a month from September through May) designed to develop a diverse network of leaders throughout the County, ensuring a broad understanding of the community’s assets, needs, and challenges, and nurturing an ever-growing group of advocates who work to support it. This year the chamber has added a mascot, Oslo, the river otter. He visits chamber members each week since he was “born” at Horizon Medical Center last year. His face can be seen all over the chamber’s Facebook and Twitter posts as he reminds everyone “If you’re not a chamber member, you ‘otter’ be.” The Dickson County Chamber of Commerce is located at 119 Highway 70 East in Dickson, and is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.dicksoncountychamber.com.

OLD TIMERS DAY

he city of Dickson is the focus of the 56th Annual Old Timers Day, which will wrap up the five-year theme of “All Roads Lead Home” that spotlights a different local city with each festival. The event is always the first weekend in May and this year Old Timers Day will take place May 2-3. The Old Timers Day website, www.dicksoncountyoldtimersday.com, as well as The Herald’s annual Old Timers Day special section will provide more information as the event date draws near.

Old Timers Day traditions, activities The Old Timers Day festivities begin Friday night with the Ms. Old Timers contest, the Liars Contest and the Homecoming Jubilee. One of the most popular events is the Liars Contest, when contestants compete to tell the most amusing, tallest tales they can imagine. The Mrs. Old Timers Pageant is also always a favorite of festival-goers as some of the loveliest of Dickson County’s more mature women vie for the trophy. The contestants tell of their favorite memories and speak about the pride they take in their family and their community. Bluegrass shows have been held on Main Street in front of Ragan’s Friendly Neighbor Store for years. This year’s musical entertainment will offer three stages for musical performances – a gospel music stage, a stage to highlight local talent, and the Garland Buick-GMC stage offering gospel, bluegrass, country, rock, etc. Quilt shows and a Saturday morning pancake breakfast are other popular traditions, and the antique car and tractor displays are always well attended.

56TH OLD TIMERS DAY When: May 2-3 Where: Downtown Dickson and the Dickson County Fairgrounds Web site: www.dicksoncountyoldtimersday.com

Hatchery puts on an Old Timers show Saturday night. Also that evening, the Tennessee City Mini-Tractor Pull will take place at the Dickson County Fairgrounds. The Robert Spicer Memorial Dance Competition is scheduled Saturday as well, in the War Memorial Building. Spicer is a mainstay of Old Timers Day, always keeping the crowd entertained and involved. The Old Timers Day Turkey Shoot brings all ages out for a morning of fun, and the living history demonstrators fill the grounds of the War Memorial Building. OTD festivities include a wide variety of arts, crafts and great food. But the highlight of the weekend, at least judging by

public turnout, is the Saturday morning parade. People lineup on the Dickson streets to watch some of their favor-

ite old timers riding on floats, riding horses, driving antique cars or fire trucks or carrying flags.

AGRICULTURE

griculture, on a large and small scale, is a vital part of Dickson County’s past, present and fu-

ture. About 1,300 farms operate on 139,176 acres in the county, according to the 2007 Census of Agriculture. Dickson County’s market value of products sold totaled more than $13.4 million, including about $3.4 million in crops sales and more than $10 million in livestock sales. Dickson County sold more than $2.2 million of tobacco in 2007, making it the sixth most productive tobacco county in the state. Cattle is also a “cash cow” for farmers in the county, bringing in more than $8.7 million in 2007. Farming is also part-time work for many people in the county. Roughly 900 of the 1,285 farms are operated by someone who has a primary job other than farming. The Dickson County Farmers Market at 284 Cowan Road in Dickson caters to all of the farmers – and fresh produce and meat seekers – in the county. The county is also steeped in agricultural history with a total of 26 farms that have been owned and operated by the same family for more than 100 years. Some of them even date back to the late 1700s. We hope you enjoy reading about all that agriculture in Dickson County has to offer.

U.S. Census of Agriculture The United States Department of Agriculture’s Census of Agriculture, taken every five years, is a count of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. The Census looks at land use and ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, income and expenditures, and other areas. Report forms for the 2007 Census of Agriculture were mailed to farm and ranch operators in December 2007. Producers responded to the Census by mail and, for the first time, had the option of filling out the Census online. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is preparing to mail the 2012 Census of Agriculture to millions of U.S. farmers and ranchers in late December. For the census, a farm is defined as any place that produced and sold, or

normally would have sold, $1,000 or more of agricultural products during the census year. “The census is the leading source of facts about American agriculture,” said Renee Picanso, director of the USDA’s Census and Survey Division. “The wealth of data available from the census includes statistics on small, family farms to large, corporate farms; information on young, beginning farmers to older, experienced farmers; and insight into traditional, rural farming versus trends in areas such as lifestyle and urban farming.” For more information about the Census of Agriculture, go online to www.agcensus.usda.gov.

Small farms way of life in Dickson County Small farms dot the Dickson County countryside. They are a part of the county’s heritage. Many farm families make money off their land, but not enough to live off of. Mostly, it’s in their blood. It’s what they grew up with, what they’ve known all their life. Seventy percent of the county’s farmers have a primary job other than farming. That’s increasingly the case statewide. A farmer in the 21st century produces for an increasingly complex and competitive marketplace driven by varied consumer demands and supplied by competitive producers nationwide, according to a report by the United States Department of Agriculture. Consumers want food that tastes good and is convenient, nutritious and inexpensive. American farmers have responded with changes in the types of crops and animals produced, closer links with food manufacturers and by adopting new technology and management practices to change with consumer demands, such as increasing desire for organic food. Farms can be grouped into three types: commercial, intermediate and rural residence. They are defined by their sales amount and primary occupation. Smaller farm operators combine non-farm jobs with farming. They include retired individuals and those who view farming as an investment and/or a way to enjoy rural amenities.

DICKSON LIVESTOCK CENTER

Nearly 900 of the 1,285 farms in Dickson County are operated by someone who has a primary job other than farming, according to the 2007 USDA Census of Agriculture. According to the 1992 agriculture census, 644 of the 1,012 farms in the county were operated by farmers who had primary occupation other than farming. Most of these farms have little dependence on farm economy for income. Even though most of these farms are not profitable as stand-alone farm businesses, these rural-residence farm households typically have incomes comparable to or exceeding those of non-farm households. Small farms — defined here as those with gross cash farm income (GCFI) less than $250,000 — account for 91 percent of all farms and 23 percent of agricultural production, according to a 2010 USDA report. Most small-farm production occurs on small commercial farms with GCFI of at least $10,000. Most places counted as small farms, however, are much smaller than that — 60 percent of small farms have GCFI of less than $10,000, and 22 percent have less than $1,000.

urns’ long and storied history has ranged from a booming railroad town, invaded by passenger pigeons at one point, to the quaint and quiet setting it offers in present day. The town is poised for significant development in the future with proposed Planned Unit Developments bringing over 500 new homes, possibly within the next decade. A new middle school is also expected in the near future. Initial construction work for a 50-acre recreational park off Highway 96 near Stuart-Burns Elementary School is nearly complete, and two baseball/softball fields have already taken shape. Officials expect the park to have a concession stand and dog park finished, with lighting for the fields, in the near future. Presently, youngsters in the Burns Little League baseball and the Burns Cowboys football youth programs share Mark Whitaker Memorial Field, located in

the same vicinity as the old Burns School across from Town Hall. Jerry “The King” Lawler wrestle in the old school gym. South Dickson Junior Pro Basketball League also plays several games at the old Burns school gym. For get-togethers, the renovated Burns Community Center at 106 College St. is available to rent any day of the week by contacting Town Hall. Burns also offers its own police and fire departments, staffed with full-time and part-time personnel. The Burns Fire Department employs four full-time firefighters, with 20 volunteers. Nathan Stringer serves as fire chief. The Burns Police Department staffs seven officers, who work in tandem with active reserves. Paul McCallister serves as police chief.

History Burns was first known as Grade 42 and was a settle-

ment. In 1862, a railroad that went through Grade 42 was constructed from Nashville to Johnsonville on the Tennessee River. In 1866, the name was changed to Burns Station in honor of Capt. Michael Burns, who had commanded a detachment encamped at Grade 42 during the Civil War. In 1882 the government deleted the word “Station.” The first pioneer to settle in the Burns area was Billy Austin and his family, who built a cabin on Beaver Dam Creek in 1803. The Public Well, a wellknown landmark in Burns, was drilled in 1910 by Flay Bibb. The well is 103 feet deep and is located at Highway 47 and Main Street. The Amanda Richardson House is the oldest existing building in Burns. The Richardson House is located at Highway 47 and Meek Avenue. SOURCE: Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

CHARLOTTE

harlotte serves as the county’s seat, where the courthouse square is the center of activity for the city and includes the county government offices. The courthouse is the oldest still being used in Tennessee. Over the last 25 years businesses and residences have been restored or maintained on the Charlotte Square, which bustles with activity nearly every day. The city presently is seeking to renovate the county’s old jail house to continue updates to structures around the square. The proposed jail house renovations would turn the facility into a tourism center and trail head. Charlotte is home to Charlotte Elementary and Middle schools, and African-American one-room school houses still stand strong among the city’s hills and hollows. Cedar Grove School on Picnic Street now serves as the local Free Mason and Eastern Star’s lodge. The Promise Land Community Club has restored that community’s historic one-room school, which also serves as a Civil War Trails marker. Much African-American history is tied to Charlotte, and Charlotte’s black community annually comes together to celebrate their roots, reunite with friends and family who’ve left the area, and to help those in the community in need. The Charlotte Picnic, which is the third weekend in August, has been held for more than 100 years.

History Early settlers were drawn to present-day Dickson County by the soil, natural resources and brown iron ore. Settlers in the late 1700s established a small frontier settlement known as Town Creek. Today that area is Charlotte. On Nov. 3, 1803, the state General Assembly created the County of Dickson. On Aug. 4, 1804, the Tennessee General Assembly created the Town of Charlotte to serve as the “Seat of Dickson County Government” naming Robert Dunning, Sterling Brewer, John Davidson, Montgomery Bell and George Clark as the first town commissioners. Their first formal meeting was December 1806, the same year the town’s first post office opened. In January 1814, John Humphries was paid $2 “for drawing a plan of the Town of Charlotte.” The plan consisted of 59 lots and 11 streets around a public

square. Charlotte flourished from the 1820s to 1840s. In 1843, John Eubank, who served in the state House of Representatives, introduced a bill to locate the state capitol in Charlotte. Of the 74 House members present, Charlotte received 17 votes for becoming the state capitol, but failed to win a majority. Charlotte’s prosperity in the early 19th century was impacted by two events. First, on May 30, 1830, a devastating tornado hit Charlotte. Next, in November 1863, the Civil War came to Charlotte. No major battles occurred, but skirmishes and guerrilla warfare were common. Confiscated residences housed Federal officers, troops camped around the square and farms were raided for supplies. White Bluff, Burns and Dickson grew along the railroad, leaving Charlotte comparatively unchanged. The Dickson County Courthouse in Charlotte, built in 1833, remains the oldest courthouse still in use as a courthouse in Tennessee. In 1977, the Charlotte Courthouse Square Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the Tennessee Historical Commission.

CUMBERLAND FURNACE

n 1803, Cumberland Furnace was an industrialized community with foundries, converting iron ore into pig iron. James Robertson purchased 640 acres on Bartonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek from a Revolutionary War private and turned it into an iron plantation, which today is unincorporated Cumberland Furnace. The iron works shut down in 1942 and Cumberland Furnace slipped back into a quiet existence. Remnants of the past can still be seen in Cumberland Furnace, from the old train depot, to the plantation commissary and old storefronts. The Drouillard Mansion still overlooks the valley. It was built following the Civil War. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Information from the Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

DICKSON HISTORY

This photograph of downtown Dickson, facing east from the corner of College and Main streets, was taken sometime prior to 1910. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE RAGAN FAMILY

n the early 1800s, several iron furnaces and forges were located near the area that today is Dickson. This was during the iron ore-mining boom. On Dec. 3, 1860, William Crutcher purchased 533 acres for more than $2,000. He then constructed the first building – 16-by-16 feet and made of log – in what is now Dickson near where Bank of Dickson stands on north Main Street.

Smeedsville Around1862, one of the men in charge of railroad construction from Nashville to Johnsonville on the Tennessee River was civil engineer E.C. Smeed. His office was where Dickson is today. In his honor, the name of the rail stop was called Smeedsville. On May 10, 1864, the railroad was finished and the first train passed through Dickson County headed west out of Nashville to the Tennessee River. The train was carrying a load of Union troops and Andrew Johnson, military governor of Tennessee.

Dickson established Crutcher eventually defaulted on payment of his land and in September 1867 the court ordered the land to be sold at public auction. On Oct. 7, 1867, records show Conrad Berringer purchased the land for $5,200 and at once began to establish a town. Within six years, the town had been established, platted, chartered and the name changed from Smeedsville to Dickson. The name Dickson officially came into being on Jan. 6, 1873, as a petition was filed with the Clerk of the Chancery Court in Charlotte to establish the town of Dickson. On Dec. 2, 1873, the charter was granted for the town of Dickson.

Charter abolished With a population of nearly 800, the citizens of Dickson voted to abolish its charter on March 16, 1883. It is believed this was done to close the growing number of saloons in town – state law prohibited the sale of liquor in unincorporated towns. The act to abolish the charter was

signed by Gov. Ben McMillin on March 19, 1883. The town existed in an unincorporated manner until it was re-chartered on April 22, 1899, with a population of a little over 1,300 individuals.

Two county courthouses A county election was held on Sept. 1, 1898 to determine if the county seat and courthouse would be moved from Charlotte to Dickson. The majority were for the move. Still, a compromise was made in the state legislature to divide the county into seven equal districts and have a courthouse in both Dickson and Charlotte. In 1925, the Courthouse in Dickson was condemned by an engineer hired by the State of Tennessee. On April 26, 1926, Dickson County leaders voted against the funding of a new courthouse in Dickson. On July 9, 1928, work crews began demolishing the old courthouse in Dickson. In 1931, a bill was passed abolishing the circuit court of the town of Dickson. — History information from the Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

SLAYDEN

Dancers have a good time to a song performed by the Maple Valley Boys at the Slayden Community Center. JOSH ARNTZ/THE HERALD

layden has an estimated population of Slayden 178 people. The second weekend in September, the Slayden Community Center hosts its annual homecoming. The Masonic Camp Lodge No. 455 serves a ham and egg breakfast to kick off the event. The local Free and Accepted Masons organization meets at 7 p.m. the fourth Thursday each month. The Slayden Community Center board meets at 7:30 p.m. the first Sunday of the month. The community center is located at 100 School Street. The Masonic lodge sits right behind the center.

History Slayden is named after a prominent Virginia family who settled in the Bartons Creek and Woods Valley area in the early 1800s near where the town is today. Timber and later tobacco appears were the primary draw. Even today, timber and tobacco are important sources of income for those living in the Slayden area. The town was platted in 1898 by

Robert B. Stone. Slayden was incorporated in 1913. The charter set up a form of government that is still in effect today. The incorporation of Slayden occurred 10 years after the L & N Railroad had established what was known as the Clarksville Mineral Branch. Slayden was originally called Slaydenview, but at the time the railroad made its way from Clarksville to Dickson, the official postal name became Slayden. The first school in Slayden was organized in the 1890s. That building burned in 1929. The present Slayden Community Center was rebuilt after the fire. Grades 1-8 were taught until 1962, when the students were transferred to Vanleer. The Great Depression caused the railroad to be taken up in 1936. In 1984, the train depot was bought by a developing company, and moved to Grinderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Switch to make it a Minnie Pearl museum. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Historical information from the Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

History

The Walter A. Bell Vanleer Municipal Building, located on Highway 49 in Vanleer, is home to Town Hall, the volunteer fire department and the community center.

The town of Vanleer, incorporated in 1915, was named for Anthony Wayne Van Leer. He was a large landholder, farming over 20,000 acres in what’s Vanleer today. Cloverdale Academy, located on Bell Hollow Road, was a college founded in the 1840s and operated by Professor Bell. The college continued until 1899. One of the first schools in

Vanleer was called Ebenezer School. It was located on the Oscar Bull place on Old Dry Hollow Road. A second school – a one-room log building – named Ebenezer was built later on Highway 49 next to Hamilton Cemetery. Antioch School was built later across the street from Hamilton Cemetery on the Victor Wall farm. The two-story Vanleer Ju-

nior High was built at the intersection of Highway and Cedar Creek. Classes moved to a brick building in 1941 at the intersection of Highway 49 and School Road. Vanleer Elementary School was built across from Vanleer Town Hall in 2003. Historical information from the Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

WHITE BLUFF

hite Bluff is a growing community situated in the northeast part of Dickson County. The town of about 3,206 people has been planning for growth expected within the next 5-10 years. Since 2009, the town has made a number of improvements, including establishing the Jennie Woodworth Library, renovating sidewalks along Main Street, replacing old sewer lines and creating a growth plan. In February 2011, the town established its first ambulance unit, located at the fire station. The police force changed vehicles in 2010, from the traditional Ford Crown Victoria to a progressive hybrid, the Toyota Prius. Mike Holman, who is now the White Bluff police chief, came up with the idea as a cost-savings measure to cut back on fuel. Residents can find recreational opportunities at the Field of Dreams playground, which has a walking track. A walking track also is located at the Veteran’s Park ball field, along with a dog park. Plans for a skate park and new community center are underway too. Annually residents celebrate the Main Street Festival, during which the town closes Main Street allowing patrons to enjoy jambalaya, arts, crafts and live music. Other events include the Grillin’ & Greens Cook-Off, Electric Light Christmas parade, and Apple Butter Festival. Schools in town are White Bluff Elementary and William James Middle.

WHITE BLUFF HISTORY

A monument bearing over 350 names of White Bluff area veterans – living and deceased – was unveiled in March 2009. The monument is located in front of White Bluff Town Hall along Highway 70.

he town of White Bluff was incorporated in 1869. At that time it had a slightly different name: Whitebluffs. The name was derived from the white bluffs overlooking “Turnbull Creek” where the army had set up camp. On June 1, 1937, the town postmaster, James K. StClair had the name officially changed to White Bluff. With the railroad and U.S. Highway 70 going through White Bluff, the town grew. In 1946, there was a fire that de-

78 78

stroyed much of the town. The fire went across both Highway 70 and Taylor Town Road, taking several businesses on the south side, buildings on the west side of Taylor Town Road and on the east side of the James Building it took the Methodist Church. A short time later another fire took an apartment building on Jackson Street, killing two children. There was no fire department and so Zollie Bibb Jr., along with others in the town, worked to start a volunteer fire department. Only one school existed in White

Bluff in the early- to mid-1900s, William James School. It was for firstgraders to seniors. The post office was at one time where the funeral home is now located and then on the corner of Main and Jackson streets. Williams James was converted to a middle school in 1972. Today White Bluff is a bedroom community of Nashville and the lifestyle is much faster. — History information from the Heritage Book of Dickson County 1803-2006

PRIVATE SCHOOLS United Christian Academy

Dickson Adventist School

Located on Highway 46, just three miles north of Interstate 40, UCA was founded in 1985 by United Free Will Baptist Church. It is a non-denominational Christian school that focuses on character, culture and Christ, and offers an excellent private education to students grades K3 through 12th. UCA provides daily Bible study, weekly chapel services and uses Abeka, a Christ-centered curriculum. Limited class size in each grade insures a low teacher to student ratio. Students enrolled at UCA consistently earn superior Stanford Achievement Test scores. UCA ranks among the top 10 Christian schools in the state of Tennessee. UCA has an active and involved PTF that assists in school fundraisers and activities. The president is Rhonda Moore. Morning and afternoon extended care is available for all ages. Extended care and daily lunch is included in the full-time K3 and K4 tuition.

Principal and head teacher Mary McDowell has been teaching church school for seven years. She earned Bachelor of Arts in History at Southern Adventist University. “The Dickson Adventist School curriculum is designed so that students are consistently presented with Jesus and the possibilities He has for each life. A low student-teacher ratio gives opportunity for the teacher to share Christ with students on a more personal basis. In Adventist education, the home, school, and church cooperate together in preparing students for citizenship here on this earth and in the new earth to come,” according to the school’s website. Mission statement: “Our mission is to prepare students for eternity, by providing an excellent education that seeks a balanced development of the whole person – intellectually, physically, and spiritually.”

DICKSON COUNTY HELP CENTER

The Help Center Clothing Department.

The Dickson County Help Center is sometimes the only resource that some county residents have to obtain food, clothing and financial assistance. The Help Center in Dickson provides aid to Dickson County residents who are experiencing a temporary financial crisis. The Boehm aid comes in the form of food, clothing, prescription medication, help with utility bills and temporary shelter. The center also serves families in Dickson County who have lost everything due to fire or other acts of nature. The Help Center is located at 103 W. College St. in downtown Dickson. There is plenty of parking from the Mur-

DICKSON FACT BOOK 2014

rell Street entrance, which runs between Taylor Funeral Home & Dickson First Presbyterian Church. The center has 15,000square-feet thrift store retail space, allowing for a larger selection of items. The thrift store's revenue covers the center's overhead costs (staff salaries, utilities, etc.), with leftover profit going to the assistance program. This allows all financial donations to go toward our assistance program as well. The thrift store is open Monday-Saturday 9 a.m.-4 p.m.; the assistance office Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-3 p.m. (closed noon-1 p.m. for lunch) and Fridays 9 a.m.-noon. The center maintains a food bank, which is stocked through private donations and special food drives conducted by local schools, the U.S. Postal Service (letter carriers) and other organiza-

tions. Kroger, Wal-Mart, Odom's Tennessee Quality Foods and Second Harvest Food Bank also make regular donations.

Volunteers, thrift store The center depends largely on volunteers, and more are always needed. The Help Center operates a thrift store where donated items are sold at bargain prices. Anyone is welcome to shop at the thrift store. The store revenue pays for the Help Center's overhead. This enables 100 percent of monetary donations and the remaining revenue from the store to be used to aid those in need. In the past, the Help Center has received various amounts of funding from the United Way of Dickson County, The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee,

Dickson County government, and the city of Dickson. The majority of funding comes from local churches, civic organizations, businesses and private individuals. The Dickson Electric System, the Greater Dickson Gas Authority and the Water Authority of Dickson County all have programs where their customers can add a dollar or more to their utility bill each month and that money is donated to the Help Center. For those wishing to drop off donations, parking is available at the Murrell Street entrance. the center accepts donations MondaySaturday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. from the Dennison Place Alley. You access the alley from College Street, next to Ragan's Friendly Neighbor Furniture Store. Renee Boehm is executive director of The Help Center.

HUMANE SOCIETY OF DICKSON COUNTY

magine the hours of time and the amount of food, veterinary services and supplies you would need if you took care of 40 dogs and 30 cats every day. That is the level of resources required to sustain the Humane Society of Dickson County animal shelter, which took care of over 620 animals in 2012. Thanks to generous foster families and increased adopt-a-thons, the Humane Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adoption rate has continued to increase over the past few years. However the organization continues to see a rise in homeless pets. There are more homeless and abandoned animals needing homes in Dickson County than there are places to care for them. When the shelter reaches capacity, the shelter staff have to place animals on a waiting list. This is not easy on shelter staff or the individuals wanting to find immediate homes for the animal(s) in their care, but this is a reality for animals in Dickson County. Residents can help the overpopulation problem by having their pets spayed (females) and neutered (males). This is the only way to reduce the overpopulation of animals in our community. For a small fee, the Humane Society of Dickson County accepts dogs and cats and care for them until they are adopted. This fee covers the costs of necessary vaccinations. The fee is $20 per animal or $30 for a litter, please contact the shelter before coming. Not just any animal is accepted into the shelter. The pet has to be healthy, friendly, and social. Feral animals will be turned away and directed to animal control. To adopt an animal from

the shelter there is an $80 fee. The adoption fee covers the cost of the spay or neuter and a small portion of the cost to care for the animal while it is at the shelter. In addition to the fee, a refundable deposit is required to adopt a puppy or kitten. Foster care is an integral key to finding new homes for animals. Foster families agree to care for animals until they can be adopted or sent to a rescue group. The shelter also relies on volunteers to help with caring for the animals and working at off-site adoption locations. Contact the shelter if you are interested. All animal abuse cases in Dickson County are referred to Dickson Animal Control, 441-9591 or 441-4651. The Humane Society is a no-kill shelter. To stop abuse before it

starts, staff offers information to adults and children about responsible pet ownership and humane treatment of all living creatures. They visit local schools, civic groups and other community organizations in order to provide education about the responsible treatment of animals. The Humane Society of Dickson County is a nonprofit 501c3 that is dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals, spay and neuter promotion, and ensuring the best possible quality of life for animals. It relies on donations from individuals, fundraising events, grants, and government assistance. Spay or neuter your pet, adopt your next pet from the shelter, and contact us if you want to help make Dickson County a better place for animals.

children. There is a 24 hour crisis line, court advocacy, temporary emergency shelter, drop-in counseling, advocacy referrals and support groups to victims of domestic violence. It is quite important to note that all of our services are free to our clients and we are completely confidential. The client’s safety is always our first priority. Each victim’s story is heart breaking and different, advocates work with clients to assess their specific needs and explain their options. Some may just need a bus ticket, others need medical care, counseling, financial assistance, job training or education, housing, legal aid, child care, and employment. In addition to assisting survivors and their children, WAS is active in the communities. They provide education presentation about the dynamics of domestic violence to local classrooms as well as numerous businesses, civic and church groups. Such presentations

include: Boys Against Violence, a 6 week curriculum developed by Russ Funk that engages middle school boys in activities which promote gender respect; Teen Dating and Healthy Relationships; and RADAR, a one hour workshop offering ways to help a friend, coworker or church member who is a victim of domestic violence. Based on reported cases, it is estimated that one in four families experience violence on a regular basis. Not all cases of violence are reported, however, so it is impossible to determine the exact number of victims and it is generally agreed that the problem is far more prevalent than these numbers indicate. Because victims are often reluctant to talk about the abuse, domestic violence is a crime that hides behind shame and fear. Many people feel that this issue does not affect them because they are not primary victims and they don’t know anyone who talks about it.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR DICKSON COUNTY The Community Foundation for Dickson County has been benefiting our community since 1999. Making grants to support education, health, safety and a range of other areas to make our community a better place. CFDC is the product of the Leadership of Dickson County Alumni Association and a group of local citizens. Once the idea of an endowment fund took hold, other citizens joined the group and then affiliated with the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. CFMT provides the stability, investment expertise and legal work necessary for the endowment to succeed. Dickson County citizens identified three major areas in which to concentrate Foundation efforts: educational opportunities for citizens of all ages, leadership and citizenship initiatives,

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION FOR DICKSON COUNTY PO Box 1243 Dickson, TN 37056 (615)446-3302 www.cfmt.org/explore/affiliates/ Like us on Facebook

and programs that will improve the quality of life. In fall last year, thirteen grants totaling $36,500 were awarded to local 501(c)3 institutions and will impact the lives of Dickson County children, students, adults, and senior citizens. Since CFDC began making grants in 2002, a total of $327,000 has been distributed to local groups. The CFDC endowment is like a savings account for the community – the principal will remain intact, and its

earnings will be used to make grants and scholarships in the areas our citizens’ desire. The goal is to build to an endowment of many millions. CFDC is governed by a community board with representation from all areas of the county. The major fundraising event for the foundation is the Dickson County Invitational Golf Tournament (DCI) which will take place on Friday, September 12, 2014 at Greystone Golf Club.

There are many ways to participate in CFDC. Donors may make direct donations of cash, property, or stocks or designate CFDC as a beneficiary in wills. Memorials to CFDC honoring a loved one or friend are another way to donate. These create a living legacy that will perpetually honor someone’s memory through the foundation.

GRANTS All local 501(c)3 agencies and public institutions are eligible for grants. Applications are available in April/ May and must be submitted by July/August (TBD). Awards will be made in November. Grant applications are available online at www.cfmt.org/request/ grants/
