The Tennessee Association of Recovery Court Professionals (TARCP) held its 15th Annual Recovery Court Conference recently in Franklin and honored two judges and two state legislators for their work helping people with substance disorders. Sumner County General Sessions Court Judge James Hunter and 21st Judicial District Circuit Court Judge James G. Martin III were awarded the 2019 Making a Difference Award. Sen. Ken Yager, R-Kingston, and Rep. Ron Travis, R-Dayton, were given the Rod Bragg Recovery Hero Award. The ceremony was dedicated to former TARCP award winner and longtime recovery court and Coffee County General Sessions and Juvenile Judge Tim Brock, who died in November.
