Eric “The Preacher” Yow’s Trick Shot Madness  – An Artistic Pool Show was presented at Governor’s Square Mall recently on behalf of  Clarksville Police Department’s  “Operation Turn-Around” program.  Yow, who ranked 5th in the World in Artistic Pool Shooting,  is a lawyer with a local law firm, a preacher, and a world class Artistic Pool Champion.

Trick shots

Operation Turnaround program has been operating for three years and was the brain-child of one of our officers, Officer Tony Marshall.  It targets troubled youth and gets them involved in a myriad of different programs. Many of the youth in the program have been in some sort of trouble with the law and are mandated to enter the program.  There are others which are referred to the program because they are on a pathway which may lead them into the judicial system.

Operation Turnaround sponsors many different programs such as:  youth football teams, basketball, cooking, sewing classes, auto body painting and repairs, mentoring classes, and the list goes on.  The purpose of the program is to provide life skills to the participants, as well as positive role models to influence their lives.

About Christine Anne Piesyk

    In my 40+ years in media, I have worked as feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, publisher, and film/theater/arts critic. I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago, having finally completed a mid-life undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts with a concentration in Alzheimer's Disease. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and on homelessness for the City of Northampton (MA), where I applied some of my undergrad work in urban planning and community development. I am a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter just because weather fascinates me. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, ballroom dancer, and classical music junkie. I also create sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure (one current interest is mastering preparation of foods from India and Southeast Asia). My dream: a return trip to Machu Picchu. After all, the best things still to come. All posts by Christine Anne Piesyk as presented on Clarksville Online are copyright ©2006, 2007, 2008 to the author.
