At the Slaughter Roofing Cancer Tennis Tournament, it's all about community support.
With all the money raised being directly donated to the American Cancer society, the tournament relies on sponsors and teams to keep afloat.
Nobody better represents that support than the Krammer family.
Along with being a food donor supplying competitors and spectators with breakfast burritos during Monday's matches the Cafe Mexicali owners entered a slew of teams in the tournament.
Between father Rick, mother Rosalie, children, Seth, Matt and Camille, and son-in-law Joe Stieber, the Krammers account for six teams in the field of more than 100.
"We always play to support it." Seth said. "It's for a good cause, plus it's a chance for some family competition."
And, despite that competitiveness, the Krammers have a support system most would love to have. That support was on full display Monday night, as the team of Seth and Matt played in the this year's opening match.
As they pushed through the wind and heat, the rest of the family was in the bleachers cheering them on, making water runs and making sure they had anything else they needed.
Mike Usher, who has been involved in running this tournament since its beginning 38 years ago, stressed the importance of families like the Krammers in keeping it as successful as it has been.
"There are so many more things today to compete for people's interest," Usher said. "People like (the Krammers), donating the food and putting the teams together, really keep this running and help us maximize what we can donate."
Carolyn Gattis, who also has contributed to the tournament for a number of years, echoed Usher's thoughts. She added how crucial not only the Krammers, but everybody who participates is to the cause.
"By the generosity of the community through donating food or money, or just playing, we are able to put every dollar to work," she said.
Though the Krammers play a big part in donating to the tournament, and being able to compete against each other, there is something bigger that has kept them coming back for the past eight years.
"It's a great chance to keep something we love doing together," Rosalie Krammer said. "As kids get older and get married and have children and have their lives, it's a great opportunity to spend some time together as a family."

WILSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) Exterior Energy Solutions owner Albert Hartless is charged with felony theft of more than $1,000 but less than $10,000 after a grand jury indicted him in March.
He is accused of taking $6,715.80 from a Mt. Juliet couple to do roof work on their home in May 2016 but never actually doing the work.
According to a Wilson County incident report, a man who said he worked for Exterior Energy approached the couple and said they needed roof work done.
The couple consulted their insurance company, which agreed to pay for repairs. On May 31, 2016, the report states the same employee approached the couple and had them sign a contract.
Four days later, the same man came to pick up the check for $6,715.80 but the work never started.
The homeowners contacted the company and spoke with Mike Scott, who was previously listed as the general manager for the business, according to previous conversations with News 2.
Mike said that the company was behind schedule, and that he did not know when they would be able to fix her roof, according to the incident report.
The homeowner continued to contact the company with no luck.
She alerted the Wilson County Sheriffs Department after hearing about other customers who paid Exterior Energy Solutions but did not have their work completed.
News 2 called Albert Hartless there was no answer. We also went to his Lebanon address. A gate to the driveway was closed. News 2 left information for him to contact us.
In May, we reported on more than 30 complaints to the Better Business Bureau about Exterior Energy Solutions. We also talked to a woman who was currently working to get a refund for roof work she paid for and was never completed.
Hartless declined an on camera interview but said by phone he would issue the woman a refund. As of June 8, the customer has still not received a refund.
Two other complaints made to the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance were referred to legal counsel by the Board of Licensing Contractors, according to Kevin Walters, the departments spokesman.
The departments legal staff recommended to authorize a formal hearing and $1,000 civil penalty against Exterior Energy Solutions; the Board accepted the recommendation and additionally asked staff to refer the case to the District Attorneys office, Walters wrote in an email to News 2.
As of Thursday, the case has not been referred to the Davidson County District Attorney, but that could happen next week.
Hartless is scheduled to appear in Wilson County Circuit Court on June 28 at 8:30 am. He remains free on $2,500 bond.

The drought is almostover.
Following record rainfall in portions of Southwest Florida, most of Collier County is no longer considered to be in a moderate drought by the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Instead, most of the county is now just considered abnormally dry.

Andrew Hagen, a meteorologist based in Miami for the National Weather Service, said that abnormally dry is still a drought condition, even though it's the lowest ranking on the drought monitor's intensity scale.
That data however, identifying most of Collier as abnormally dry, was collected only up until Tuesday and then published Thursday, Hagen said. By the time data is released on drought conditions in Florida next week, the meteorologist said Collier could be officially out of the drought.

"It's unlikely that the drought will get worse," he said. "It's very unlikely."
The area, which was plagued by brush fires throughout the spring, now has only a low risk for fires, according to the Florida Forest Service.
Remnants of Tropical Storm Beatriz have drenched the county and surrounding region since late last week. The weather system, which forced officials to shut down area roads due to localized flooding, began to dissipate Thursday. The Naples Municipal Airport received more than 3 inches of rain Tuesday, setting a rainfall record. The National Weather Serviceissued flash flood and thunderstorm warnings for Collier several times duringthe week.

Kingman Schuldt, chief of the Greater Naples Fire RescueDistrict, which covers most areas in the county, said the fire department didn't have to respond to anysignificant incidents due to the recent storms. There were no water rescues or callsrelating to water damage, he said.
One car did drive into a canal off Collier Boulevard in the Fiddler's Creek area Wednesday night, but Schuldt said he wasn't sure ifthat incident was weather-related.
On Marco Island,one of the communities hit hardest by Beatrizs remnants, Dave Bear, a captain for the island's police department, said he didn't see much other than secondary damage on Marco after the tropical system rolled through.
"The only damage I saw were yards with ruts in them, from ... carsdriving on them," he said. Even though some roads were closed, the roads didn'tsustainany structural damage because of the rain, he said.
Roofing companies, meanwhile, have been inundated with phone calls from customers requesting help fixing leaks.

Over the last five days, Atlantis Roofing of Naples Inc. has received about 60 calls for help with leaks, said Mike Leiter, an office manager at the business.
That's much higher than usual," said Leiter, 62, referring to the number of calls. Leiter added that it could take a few days or weeksfor Atlantis Roofing to finish all the repairs,due to the large volume of requests.
The Collier County Mosquito Control District now is also concerned about possible heightened activity for salt marsh mosquitoes in the southern portion of the county.

More: Collier Mosquito Control District looks to expand with human population
The salt marsh mosquitoes have been laying low over the last few days because of the tropical system, said Robin King, public relations specialist for the control district. The rain would have destroyed the insects if they were flying, she said.
Now, though, with improving weather conditions, King said the mosquitoes will be active again. A full moon will occur Friday, and mosquitoes have historically been more active during full moons because of the additional light, she added.
Its kind of this perfect storm scenario, King said. Salt marsh mosquitoes can travel more than 30 to 40 miles on the wind, according to King, and can fly into the countys northern areas.
King said the control district does not have official mosquito population totals. She added, though, that she does not expect to see a salt marsh mosquito population increase after the latest rain, because the mosquitoes already live in wet mangrove areas. The latest rain wont affect their breeding, King said.

Beacon Roofing Supply to Participate in the William Blair 37 - Business Wire (press release)
Teslas strategy for developing and selling innovative solar roofs appears to be trending in the right direction, which is good news for Western New York.
The fortunes of Tesla, led by forward-thinking CEO Elon Musk, will have a direct effect on the fortunes of many in this region.
The companys RiverBend factory in South Buffalo, which is expected to open later this year, will be the largest solar panel factory in the Western Hemisphere. It is expected to bring with it hundreds of jobs. Built with $750 million in state subsidies, it represents the biggest piece of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomos Buffalo Billion economic development initiative.
Many eyes those of supporters awaiting the promised economic boost and of opponents objecting to public assistance for a private company are laser-focused on this project. Any prediction about progress on Teslas solar roof is going to gain special attention. That progress, so far, looks decent. As News business reporter David Robinson recently wrote, less than a month after the company started taking orders for its solar roof tiles, Tesla executives informed analysts from RBC Capital Markets that the new product already is sold out well into 2018.
Customers have to be willing to put down a $1,000 deposit to get on the list. For people living in areas that tend to have high electricity costs, this may seem a small bet on a system that could save them a lot of money in the long run.
Tesla is remaining mum on the exact details about the demand for the solar roof but, as Robinson wrote, the disclosure to the RBC analysts indicates that demand is comfortably in line with the companys projections. The companys next step will be to make the solar roof tiles on a pilot basis by the end of this month at its Fremont, Calif., facility. Eventually the company is expected to shift production to its Buffalo gigafactory.
Tesla Motors merged with SolarCity late last year, and then in a smart move brought in experienced solar panel manufacturer Panasonic as a partner. Panasonic is investing $250 million in the process of making solar cells to be installed in the solar roofing tiles and in conventional solar panels built at the Buffalo plant.
Tesla has pledged to create 1,460 direct jobs in the Buffalo Niagara region, and support the creation of 1,440 more jobs at suppliers and service providers here. The workers will be hired over time, because full production wont be reached until 2019.
The company is subject to industry trends, and right now overall growth in residential solar is slowing across the country. Tesla officials are doing what they can to attract new customers by trying to find ways to lower high sign-up costs. Tesla does stand to benefit because it has a unique product: solar roof tiles that look better than traditional solar panels installed on a roof.
It doesnt help nor necessarily hurt that the Trump administration decided to pull out of the landmark 2015 Paris climate accord. The pledge by Cuomo to invest up to $1.6 billion in renewable energy and energy-efficiency projects over the next five years, along with similar statements by several other governors to stay the renewable course, should help tamp down any ill effects from the presidents decision.
Tesla has been taking orders for its solar roof, and the high interest shown by homeowners bodes well for this region.
