2B Tuwday. NovmW 18 1994 THE TENNE88EAN E3Z Officials Plan would make vote no to clatter Brentwood garbage pickup wait ----V'1" ft TV SUMNER RUTHERFORD jff' By DEBORAH COLLINS Staff Writer BRENTWOOD Brentwood residents may no longer hear the early morning clatter and clang of garbage cans if a new restriction on garbage collectors becomes final. Brentwood commissioners voted last night for an ordinance restricting garbage collection times to daylight hours for any company operating that type of service in Brentwood. All garbage collection here is performed by private companies. "There have been some complaints here and there from different citizens," City Manager Michael Walker said before the reeting.

Some collection companies operate trucks several hours before sunrise. Walker said. "They're doing it in the middle of the night again," resident Keith Wilkins told commissioners last night "Our opinion is that the garbage should be picked up during regular working hours, 8 to 5." The ordinance, if passed on two additional readings, would limit collections to daylight and allow no pickups earlier than 7 ant. Walker said. Penalties for violations will be addressed at a later meeting, however, the city could levy a fine of up to $500.

"The only way ordinances like these can be enforced is if people like you call" police, Walker told residents at the meeting. No one representing garbage collection companies spoke at the session. By restricting collection to daylight hours, garbage collectors will be safer because they won't have to contend with after-dark drivers, Walker said. -37- I i Santa visits early FCTI BRENTWOOD He I usually doesn't make an appearance until around midnight on Christmas Eve, but San-' ta Claus is making an exception for Brentwood.

Student remembered fJTTl FRANKLIN Students ILU at Franklin High School yesterday mourned the death of a 17-year-old student who died in a weekend car accident Family members and students who were close to Danielle Lynn Fawcett, 17, of 609 Boyd Mill attended the 8 a.m. memorial service, school secretary Costa Morgan said.

The school will also offer counseling to students upset by Fawcett's death, Morgan said. Fawcett was a passenger in a car driven by Jarrod Charles Ad-reon, 18, of 3806 Highway 96 W. Adreon sped off Interstate 65 onto Highway 96 at about 12:23 a.m. Saturday, going about 79 mph in a 40 mph zone, Franklin police Officer Stephen Sullivan reported. Adreon turned south on the Mack Hatcher Bypass, pursued by Sullivan.

Just before reaching Lewisburg Pike, Adreon lost control of the car and ran off the road, Sullivan said. The car rolled several times down the bank before coming to rest on its wheels, Sullivan said. Fawcett and Adreon were both thrown from the vehicle, Sullivan said. When Sullivan reached the car, Fawcett was dead, he said. Adreon was walking toward the car, covered with blood from a head injury, Sullivan reported.

Adreon told police he was driving and that he and his girlfriend were the car's only occupants, Sullivan said. Adreon told police he had been drinking "a lot" Sullivan said. Police found a three-quarter empty bottle of vodka outside the car, the report said. The Tennessee Highway Patrol is investigating the accident Adreon remained in fair condition at Vanderbilt Medical Center yesterday.

Festival unites youth in song By DIANE LONG Staff Writer They looked like an ordinary bunch of squirming school kids in jeans and sweatshirts.

The annual Book Jacket Contest also helps celebrate Children's Book Week, which is this week, Jacoway said. Tour critters' homes ASHLAND CITY It may not be the best time of the year to see the flowers, but it is a good time to see the homes of the creatures that eat them.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers offers for school children a guided tour of a special nature trail at the Cheatham Dam. With the leaves off the trees it's a great time to find many animal hideaways, Corps Ranger Troy Hawks said. "This time of year it would be easier to pick out different kinds of critters' homes," Hawks said. "We also discuss various types of species of plants on the trail." The trail is long and takes 40 to 45 minutes to walk.

Up to 100 children can attend one tour. Call 792-5697.

She recounts final night for daughter about who a murder victim was, or about the effect that a slaying has on family and friends. But Hough said, during an interview outside the courtroom, that she still wants to personally confront the five people charged in the death of her daughter. Clark asked for Hough's forgiveness in a letter he wrote last June. But that's not enough, she said yesterday.

"I want to hear the words 'I'm sorry' from these people. I want to know if they've got a different attitude now. I have a right to know that "If they could straighten their life up, I could probably forgive them." She said she believes Tennessee's juvenile code is too lenient partly because it was written before juveniles had ready access to cars, drugs and guns. "Some of these kids today are not children. They're rogues; they're adults." Hough said she believes parents should be held accountable for the actions of their children.

"Leanna was my only child and she was just about my life." Hough recently lost her job, when Pickett County elected a new sheriff and he hired new people to run the jail. That forced her to move out of the apartment in the jail where she had lived for 13 years. "I'm just trying to get my life back to normal," she said. Edwards was convicted of aggravated assault and aggravated robbery in Juvenile Court in 1990, when he was 17. He was convicted of aggravated robbery in Criminal Court here in July 1992 and was found guilty of two counts of armed robbery in Dane County, in August 1993.

He was extradited here from Wisconsin last January. Prosecutors are asking a Criminal Court jury to convict him of felony murder and especially aggravated robbery in Leanne Shoulders' death. 4 By TERRY BATEY State Correspondent CLARKSVILLE A plan to start a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic here received support last night from the Montgomery County Commission, which pledged to "offer whatever assistance needed" to aid the project The commissioners' resolution of support noted that no facility of that type currently operates in the county. Similar legislation was approved by the Clarksville City Council last month. A 28-day drug and alcohol rehabilitation program with a 16-bed capacity is planned at Clarksville Memorial Hospital.

Operating funds for the clinic would come through a $300,000 annual federal grant obtained by the Rev. Leroy Burgess of Walnut Grove Baptist Church, county officials said. Burgess has been a longtime advocate of the need for a local clinic but until recently he had difficulty in finding a suitable place for the program. Also last night commissioners approved creating a six-member governing board to oversee the city-county Ex-Serviceman's Bu Better gardening TTTl LEBANON If your iTil tomatoes aren't quite up to snuff and your violets tend to shrink a bit early, Wilson County has designed a plan to green your thumb.

New and better-equipped schools will be on the agenda when the Lebanon 10th District school board meets Thursday. Board members will consider funding for a new middle school, which would house grades four-six, slated to be built next year.

The board will also discuss spending about $100,000 for the state's 21st Century Classroom program and the Tennessee Education Network.
