NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two former camp staffers have pleaded guilty in connection to a deadly jet ski crash that killed a 10-year-old boy on Old Hickory Lake last summer.

Joshua Kennington and Savannah Remington each pleaded guilty to reckless homicide, a Class D felony. Both received a two-year suspended sentence.

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency says the two were operating jet skis recklessly when they collided. Jack Gear was riding with Remington when he died in the crash.

According to a $10 million lawsuit filed by Gear’s family, the staffers were speeding and making sharp turns to throw campers off into the water. The lawsuit also claims the Scouts organization failed to properly train or supervise its employees.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
