Publisher’s Message
As you can probably guess, each issue is done
about a month in advance. So as of this letter I
have been on WeightWatchers about two and
a half weeks. It’s going well; about five pounds
lost so far. I am slowly and (hopefully) surely
starting to change the way that I eat. I’m not
much of a cook so that’s yet another thing that
I’m going to have to learn.
Clarksville
Family
Clarksville Family Magazine
has 10,000 issues published
and distributed monthly
at over 150 locations
across Clarksville and the
surrounding area.
One thing that happens with most any diet is
cravings. Thanks to the Internet, I have come
across some fellow “WeightWatchers” that gave me a few lifesavers for when
the chocolate cravings hit. There are these things called Vitabrownies and
Vitatops (muffin tops) that are a perfect one point crave buster. (FYI…on WW
you count points instead of calories and fat grams.) You need to make sure
you’re using your dieter’s taste buds when eating these because they aren’t
quite as good as a regular homemade brownie or muffin, but they serve their
purpose wonderfully.
Another thing that we have gotten hooked on at home is the Nintendo Wii
Fit. It’s great for everything from strength training and aerobics to yoga. My
husband is actually better at the yoga poses than I am. You can also do a body
test that calculates your BMI and weight and helps track your weight loss goals.
It’s funny to watch your Mii (pronounced “me,” an animated representation of
you within the Wii world) go from the size it was when you designed it to your
true size after it weighs you. It’s especially fun when your kid points out that
yours is rounder than his…sigh.
Okay, enough about dieting; it just makes me think about all the chocolate I
can’t eat on Valentine’s day!

Health
Family Fitness Ideas
(To Get the Family Off the Couch and Moving!)
by Pamela Magrans
Remember the days when you
were young? Most of us, who are
now parents, spent our childhood
playing outside. In the absence of
widespread video games, 24-hour
cartoon channels and the Internet,
our free time was occupied outside
playing alongside siblings and
friends. That is not the case today.
Many children spend more time in
front of a screen than they spend
outside breathing fresh air. We do
not fully know the consequences
of this since we are raising the
first generation of video game and
Internet proficient children.
Guidelines from the U.S.
Department of Health and
Human Services recommend that
children and teens get physical
activity for at least one hour per
day on most days of the week.
Most pediatricians recommend
limiting your child’s screen time
to no more than two hours a
day. Even so, according to those
recommendations, our children
would spend twice as much time
in front of a screen than outside.
Is that good enough? How much
better if we could get our children
physically active for more hours
than they are watching TV?
Most parents have heard the
statistics about too much TV
exposure. We’ve watched our kids
red eyed and dazed on that rainy
day because they watched too
much TV. We know there must be
limits. We know that our children
need exercise to stay healthy.
However, many parents today are
engaged in a constant struggle to
redirect their children away from
the screen and into a healthier
activity. How do we accomplish
that task? How do we find ways for
our children to burn calories and
not complain about it?
6
The key element in this struggle
is to model the behavior. To get
our children more physically
active we must do the same.
Maybe in doing so we will not
only become healthier with our
children, but grow closer to them
as well.
Family fitness means engaging
the entire household in exercise.
That does not have to be a firm
regimen of bodybuilding and
cardiovascular exercise. Instead,
it should be a way of life, a family
fitness routine of being physically
active rather than stagnant.
We should aim to find age
appropriate and safe ways
for our children to exercise.
Incorporating both outside and
indoors exercise can be a fun
family alternative to the screen.
Here are some family fitness
ideas:
Make movement a part of
screen time Set a family rule
that when commercials are on
everyone must do jumping jacks,
squats, or push-ups, etc. Buy some
inexpensive equipment such as
a jump rope, light dumbbells,
or a resistance ball. Decide that
each time someone on TV says a
certain word that the entire family
has to grab a piece of equipment
and move for five minutes. Make
exercise a family game that
coexists with television. This
may seem simple, but the extra
movement will help burn calories.
Barter exercise for rewards
Okay, this sounds like “Let’s
make a deal,” but the simple
fact remains—children are more
likely to value something that
they earned. If they want an hour
of Wii playtime, then agree that
they must first walk the dog for
15 minutes or jump rope for five
Clarksville Family
minutes. Find a physical activity
that is safe for your child and age
appropriate. Then let your child
do the same for you. If you want to
spend 30 minutes on Facebook, let
your child decide on an equivalent
physical activity for you. Agree
on the terms ahead of time and
always follow through with your
end of the deal. This will gain trust
between you and your child, plus it
will get you both moving more.
Romp through the woods Our
lovely city offers several parks
with quiet wooded trails and
streams. Take the family on an
afternoon (or early morning) hike
through the woods. Engage your
children with a scavenger hunt
or race up that hill. Kids love the
great outdoors and it is an easy
way to get them moving.
Hit the hoops Don’t have a
basketball goal? Is it 32 degrees
outside and raining? No problem.
Go indoors and shoot some
hoops together. No experience
needed. Just you, your child and
a big orange ball. It might be a
chance to learn something new
together. The city runs several
community centers that have
indoor basketball courts. Pack
your tween and a bottle of water
and head for an indoor court.
Anti-screen entertainment
Instead of spending Saturday
indoors, find a form of recreation
that keeps your kids moving.
Clarksville offers a variety of
these such as mini golf, bowling,
laser tag, roller-skating or even an
indoor inflatable facility for kids.
Any type of entertainment that is
kinetic rather than stagnant is a
step in the right direction.
Join a gym Don’t do this so
you can sculpt your abs (although
that is worth merit with summer
quickly approaching). Join a gym
with the intent to expose your child to a variety of
forms of exercise. Introducing children to exercise
as a way of life sets them in the right direction. Let
your children see that exercise is important to you
and eventually it will be important to them too. A
gym membership is especially helpful during
cold and rainy weather when children are most
tempted to spend too much time screening. Many
local gyms offer childcare facilities for the younger
children. Our local YMCAs offer affordable family
memberships as well as many opportunities for the
kids to exercise too.
Take a walk This will give you a chance to talk
to your child as well as work off a few unneeded
calories. It is a simple way to spend time with your
child, talk about your day, and get some exercise.
Start out walking and then progress to a slight jog
when you and your child are ready. Your child might
complain at first, but eventually they will realize that
being fit feels good.
Find a playground There are nice playgrounds
stationed at parks all around town. Visit one with
your children, but don’t sit on the bench and watch
them. Play alongside them. Play hide and seek or
try a game of tag. This will keep you moving and who
knows…maybe you’ll start feeling like a child too.
Take to the yard Play tag, hide and seek, Simon
says, follow the leader, kickball, dodge ball…some of
the games we played as children. Or invent a game.
Get a large ball and a broom—play broomball. Draw
a make believe obstacle course with sidewalk chalk
on the driveway. Have your child run, jump and
skip around the course. Encourage them to invent
something of their own. Supply plenty of outside toys
and activities such as bicycles, hula-hoops, balls, etc.
Make being outside a fun family time.
Most importantly Exercise together and keep it
fun. Never make exercise a burden. It should be a
fun activity for both of you. Doing so will give you
more chances to talk to your child. It will help both
of you burn calories and ultimately, the entire family
will benefit.
Pamela Magrans lives in Clarksville, TN with
her husband and two sons. They are members
of the local YMCA and enjoy finding ways to
exercise together.

Faith & Family
I Wanna Know What Love Is
by Kim Edmondson
I’m amazed that February is already
here. It wasn’t that long ago that we
were all in the holiday spirit, going
to parties, giving gifts and spending
time with family and friends. Then
the New Year saw its way in and we
all began to make resolutions to help
this year be better than the last. And
now here we are in February. Sweet
February, the month of love, Valentine
wishes, candy hearts, chocolates,
flowers and “I love you”—what a
wonderful month!
For all of the other times during the
year when we may be too busy or
distracted to stop and let others know
how much we love and appreciate
them, in February, we have set
aside a complete day to focus on
love. Right in the middle of this little
month we find Valentine’s Day. It has
been estimated that approximately
one billion valentines are sent each
year worldwide, making the day
the second largest card-sending
holiday of the year. When you stop
and think about it, it really is pretty
amazing that we have set aside a day
to express our love for those we value
in our lives.
As I began thinking about writing
this article I kept finding myself
humming the tune of an old 80’s song.
Yes, the 80’s! Now for those of us who
grew up in the 80’s you must admit
there are some pretty amazing love
songs that come from our generation
of music. The one that keeps coming
to my mind is by Foreigner. Allow me
to quote a few of the lyrics for you:
I’m gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I’ve got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me
wronged. It does not rejoice
about injustice but rejoices
whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up, never
loses faith, is always hopeful,
and endures through every
circumstance. Three things
will last forever—faith, hope,
and love—and the greatest of
these is love.”
In my life there’s been sorrow and
pain
I don’t know if I can face it again
Can’t stop now, I’ve traveled so far
To change this lonely life
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I bet you remember that one! (Do I
hear you humming?)
What about you? Have you ever
thought, “I wanna know what love is”?
Is love being in a dating relationship
with a guy or girl? Is love being
married? Or is love just a warm
fuzzy feeling that comes over you in
a pleasant setting? We use the word
love for so many different things. We
say things like, “I love pizza,” “I love
that movie,” or “I love your outfit.” So
in a time when love is so many things
to so many people, how do we truly
know what love is?
Well as you might expect, I’d like
for us to take a look in the Bible to
see what it has to say about love.
“Love is patient and
kind. Love is not jealous or
boastful or proud or rude.
It does not demand its own
way. It is not irritable, and
it keeps no record of being
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 & 13
Wow! Kind of puts a different
spin on what we typically think of as
love doesn’t it? So often we think of
love as a feeling, a person or even
a possession. But in light of what
the Bible has to say we may need to
refocus on what love really is. First of
all, simply put, it is “patient and kind.”
Love is patient, it is willing to wait
even when it is not convenient. Love
is kind, is nice and thoughtful toward
others at all times. Okay, I don’t know
about you, but I’m already falling
behind in showing love the way I
should by the definition of just the
first two qualities. Let’s keep going.
Next we see what love is not. Love
is not jealous, boastful, proud, rude,
irritable, and does not keep a record
of wrong. That’s quite a list of what
love is not. Love is not jealous of
what others have or what they say or
do. Love does not boast, so in other
words I should not be doing things
to show off what I have or speaking
words that brag about what I know
and do. Love is not proud. It is not
prideful. Love is not puffed up and
full of itself, rather is it humble and

looks toward others. Love is not rude, it does not
act out or say ugly things when it does not get its
way, or has to stand in a long line in the grocery
store. Love is not irritable, it does not get snippy
or have a bad attitude when it has not had enough
sleep. Love keeps no record or wrongs, it will not
remind you of your past and tell you that you will
never change, every time you make a mistake.
Next? Love loves justice and the truth, even
when it is not popular or easy. Finally, we can see
what love does. Love never gives up or loses faith.
It is hopeful and always hangs on no matter the
circumstance. Love is not going to walk away when
times get tough. Love is not going to say “I told you
so,” or “This is your last chance.” Love will keep
watching with eyes full of belief and outstretched
arms waiting for you no matter how long it may
take.
That’s a pretty amazing list of qualities. It gives
me quite a bit to think about and strive for. What
about you? Do you know how to love like that?
Better yet, have you ever been loved like that?
Unfortunately, no matter how hard we may try, we
will never be able to love another perfectly. The
only person who ever loved perfectly was Jesus.
The best part is that He loves us perfectly even
though we are far from perfect. If you are searching
and asking questions about what love really is, give
Jesus a try. He will love and accept you no matter
what.
Remember Corinthians 13:13:
“Three things will last forever—faith,
hope, and love—and the greatest of these
is love.”

The camp this past summer also took field trips
to the Clarksville Science Museum, Dunbar Cave,
and the Nashville Adventure Science Center. Other
special camp events were a camp talent show, a family

Home Talk
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe…” Choosing the Right Agent
by Tina Gallo-Reid and James Black
I know it’s been a while since I’ve
visited with you, and I am so glad we
finally get the opportunity to meet here
again! I am praying that the holiday
season was good to you and those you
love, and that the “Season of Giving”
was satisfying for you.
This month I would like to share
some information that will be useful
when you are looking for the right real
estate agent to represent you and your
interests. So, let’s get started, shall we?
It wasn’t too long ago when it didn’t
matter as much which real estate agent
you chose to sell your house if it was
located in one of the many hot seller
markets, especially in the Clarksville
Area. Clarksville has been, and to
some degree, still is, a very popular
market. Listings sold without much
assistance; many soon after the for-sale
sign went up. Today, choosing the
right agent for the job can make the
difference between a sale and no sale.
There are many factors to consider
in selecting an agent in the current
market. One is that many of the agents
working now entered the business
recently, and therefore aren’t as
experienced in the process of actually
marketing a property. They’ve never
seen a softer home-sale market
before. This doesn’t mean that you
shouldn’t use an agent who doesn’t
have decades of experience. But, it
means you need to find an agent with
a definite set of skills. This current
market certainly is not the arena
that an agent can just get away with
“showing a home,” and hoping the
buyer will take it.
Most sellers in this market want
and need an agent that will provide
an aggressive and broad-based
marketing plan. However, some sellers
may not be aware of how important it
is to hire an agent who is an effective
communicator. Today’s successful
agents don’t stop selling when they
find a buyer for your home. They
manage the transaction carefully and
skillfully until the sale closes.
It’s not enough for an agent to
promise to hold your home open
every weekend until it sells. In
fact, this might do more harm than
12
You may find that agents want longer
than 90-day listing periods if sales
are very slow in your area. This is
understandable; agents typically pay
for the marketing, and it’s generally
taking a lot longer for most homes to
sell. Keep this in mind when you select
your agent. You could be working with
this person for some time.
good. In a slow market, a listing can
be overexposed to the market and
become shopworn.
The stress level of selling can
be intense, particularly if property
values are declining. Buyers can
be demanding. You need to have
confidence that your agent is
representing your best interests
and negotiating on your behalf in a
professional manner.
Talk to your friends. A very reliable
source for information is word of
mouth. Chances are, the people you
hang out with have very similar tastes
and would probably recommend
someone that you would like. Ask your
friends who they would use.
Negotiating a purchase contract
in this market can be an arduous
endeavor. It may take multiple
counteroffers back and forth to
hammer out a deal. And, the fallout rate, or amount of deals that fall
through, is higher today than it was a
few years ago.
Selecting an agent who is a good
negotiator, who is patient and who
will explore all options before letting
a deal fall apart gives you a leg up. It
helps if your agent has a good working
relationship with other agents in the
area. One of these
agents is likely
to represent the
buyer for your
home.
Remember, choose carefully, and
in an informed manner when picking
an agent to represent you. Use word
of mouth, have the prospective agent
share their marketing vision, and most
of all, be sure you are willing to work
with that person for some time. I’m
sure that, armed with this information,
you will do fine.
Let us help you save time and money!
Ask any agent
you consider
to provide you
with a detailed
marketing plan
to let you know
how he or she
will accomplish
the sale of your
home. Don’t even
consider listing
with an agent that
doesn’t market
extensively on the
Internet. Studies
show that Internet
buyers discount
listings online that
don’t have photos.
They assume that
something must
be wrong with the
property. Check

agent’s Internet

Mmmm...Chocolate
Beauty
by Bella Medical Spa
With Valentine’s Day around the
corner stores are stocking their
shelves with the number one seller
for the holiday, chocolate. Whether
it’s from a sweetheart, a loved one,
a friend, or a co-worker chocolate
is the most popular gift for this
holiday and could be the most
beneficial one as well. Over the
past few years chocolate has gotten
a bad reputation. Some consider
it to be the reason for their skin

The Journal of Nutrition has also
documented that ingesting certain
compounds in cocoa can smooth

to the sun by up to 25%.

With all of this great news
about one of America’s favorite
desserts there must be a catch.
Even though all forms of chocolate
contain cocoa it is said that dark
chocolate is the best source of the
good stuff. Milk chocolates and
chocolate eaten with milk do not
provide as many antioxidants as
dark chocolate. Milk may interfere
with the absorption of antioxidants
from chocolate and may therefore
negate the potential health
benefits that can be derived from
eating moderate amounts of dark
chocolate. So instead of skipping
the chocolate altogether just opt
for that which contains more cocoa,
and pass it on to your loved ones
for Valentine’s Day. What a perfect
way to say “I Love You.”

Protecting Your Children’s Future
by Ryan Bosler
Whether you are a couple or a
single parent, it’s important to have
a plan to protect your children in the
event something happens to you.
As a parent, you are always
thinking about what is best for your
children. But have you thought
about what might happen if you
are no longer around? It is not a
pleasant subject, but it is important.
Planning for your children’s future
is even more important if you are
not around to help.
Designating Guardians
If you have not already, make
sure to have a will drafted by an
attorney, in which you name one
or more individuals to be the legal
guardian of any minor child—
typically until the child reaches
age 18. A guardian will have to
make decisions regarding the
care and upbringing of the child.
The person(s) named should be
consulted before the will is drafted
to be sure they are willing to
accept the responsibility. Since the
designated guardian may become
unable to serve, it is also a good
idea to name one or two successor
guardians. You may name a
different person to be responsible
for overseeing your children’s
financial affairs.
Establishing a Trust
While a child may be an adult in a
few years, he or she may not yet be
mature enough to handle, invest or
manage property. You can establish
a trust to protect the property you
intend to pass on to children, no
matter what their age. Trusts can
protect assets for anyone you desire
and may continue even until the
death of the child and beyond.
One of the most important
decisions is who should be the
trustee. The trustee (individual
or professional) will manage the
assets and make distributions
based on instructions you provide
in the trust document.
Paying Estate Taxes
Under current tax law, the
amount subject to estate tax and
the percentage to be taxed on the
remaining estate will decrease
until 2010 when the estate tax is
repealed. However, unless current
law is extended by Congress, the
estate tax is due to be reinstated in
2011. Because of the uncertainty
as to the future of the estate tax,
individuals with assets over $1
million should consult an attorney,
a tax advisor and a financial
professional to consider effective
estate planning strategies.
In addition to federal estate taxes,
some states impose their own estate
or inheritance tax. In addition,
some forms of property, such as
traditional IRAs, pensions, deferred
compensation survivorship
benefits, and deferred annuity
death benefits may be subject to
income taxes.
Although it is a difficult subject
to face, you have options when it
comes to protecting your estate and
your family. The steps you take now
can help prevent the wrong people
from making decisions for your
loved ones.
Gifts or bequests to a surviving
spouse are generally exempt from
federal estate taxes under the
unlimited marital deduction. In
addition, the income tax due on
IRA and qualified plan distributions
payable to a surviving spouse can
be deferred by rolling them over to
a surviving spouse’s IRA.
Income Protection
Parents should consider a
financial protection plan that
includes life and disability income
insurance, which they can develop
with their financial professional.
You should determine how much
capital or income is necessary
to help protect children or other
beneficiaries. For example, money
may be needed to help maintain
a home for children, and pay for
college or other expenses in the
event of the bread winner’s death or
disability. This financial protection
plan should be coordinated with a
will or trust.
Living Documents
All parents should have an up-todate power of attorney, health care
14
proxy and living will. A power of
attorney basically gives another
person the right to pay bills on your
behalf and otherwise manage your
finances according to the terms of
the document, which is typically
drawn up by a qualified estate
planning attorney. The second
and third documents give you the
opportunity to express your desires
concerning the use of life support
and other treatments to keep you
alive, and permit medical decisions
to be made for you if you are unable
to do so. Often, married couples
rely on each other to make these
types of decisions.

A Word on Bankruptcy
Legal
by Joe Weyant, Attorney
Perhaps no other issue has as much
influence on an individual’s sense of
happiness as that of finances. That
is not to say that money makes one
happy. However, it is unrealistic to
deny that a shortage of it causes stress
and a general sense of helplessness.
This carries over into the entire family
unit.
When money problems get to
the breaking point, the remedy of
bankruptcy might be considered. Yet,
there is a common belief lately that
recent changes in the bankruptcy laws
have made it nearly impossible to file
for this relief. That is simply not true.
In fact, the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse
Prevention and Consumer Protection
Act made very little difference in who
is eligible to file a bankruptcy case.
Short of increasing the time
requirements between filings, and
requesting a little more paperwork
from a would-be debtor, the changes
in the laws have made it more difficult
only for bankruptcy attorneys who
prepare a case. Those attorneys
who hung in there after 2005, will tell
you that Chapter 7 and Chapter 13
bankruptcies are on the rise once
more.
The person who files a bankruptcy
in the 21st century has most likely
been pushed there by high-interest
credit cards, unexpected medical bills,
a divorce, or a combination of these
scenarios. Add to the mix an aboveequity second mortgage loan, variable
interest rates, and the downtrodden
economy, then suddenly the diagnosis
of being “strapped” is putting it lightly.
The bankruptcy debtor has many
faces. It is no longer fair to say that
irresponsibility causes bankruptcy.
In fact, bankruptcy attorneys deal
mostly with single parents, the elderly,
the chronically ill, or the suddenly
unemployed. No one wants to lose
everything they have, and there is no
one who is not embarrassed to come
in for a bankruptcy consultation. It is
ludicrous, and a tempting of God, to
judge that one deserves this fate.
With that said, there are two main
chapters of bankruptcy for consumers:
Chapter 13 and Chapter 7. Chapter
13 is for those people who wish to
reorganize their debts, in a sort of
consolidation fashion, where payments
are made in the form of a “plan” on
one’s debt, for roughly three to five
years. Eligibility requires steady
wages and enough income to fund
the Chapter 13 payment schedule. In
Chapter 13, if it is demonstrated that
a person can afford the items, it is
likely that homes, automobiles, and
other property owed on can be kept.
Unsecured debt is paid pennies on the
dollar, according to what a person’s
income shows he/she can afford over
the payment period. Taxes can also
be dealt with in a Chapter 13, and
interest on most items included can be
drastically reduced. Also, the attorney
takes most of his fees in the payment
plan.
is not wise. It is also not advisable
to borrow against a home to pay
excessive debt.
Keep in mind, also, that most
taxes and student loans cannot be
discharged in a bankruptcy case
without being paid in full. Other
non-dischargeable debts are court
fines and fees, judgments for personal
injury or fraud, most debts to a
governmental entity, and alimony
and child support obligations. On
this final kind of debt, be advised
that if a person agrees in a divorce
settlement to pay certain debts of the
marriage, he/she cannot discharge
that obligation in the bankruptcy court.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Chester!
by Brenda Hunley
Chester had just finished eating
his lunch when he saw a big red
heart on his calendar. Looking
closer, he noticed that the very next
day was Valentine’s Day. Chester
thought about Valentine’s Day while
he washed his face and paws. A
smile lifted his whiskers as he
remembered this day last year.
Chester and his friend, Dart the
bluebird, had found a bag of candy
hearts. Each heart was a different
color and each had a message on
it. Together, Chester and Dart gave
one to each friend they met that
day. What a great day that was!
Chester was happy as he
prepared for a nap. Chipmunks
take lots of naps. It is one of their
favorite things to do. Sometime
between brushing his teeth and
fluffing his bed of leaves, Chester
remembered he wasn’t ready for
Valentine’s Day. He hadn’t seen
Dart today, and he didn’t have any
candy to give away!
“What will I do?” thought Chester,
“And where will I find a Valentine
gift?” Chester sat down on the
edge of his bed and put his head
in his paws so he could think. Soon
his left ear began to twitch, then his
right ear. He had an idea!
“I will make a special Valentine
all by myself!” he said aloud.
Chester’s excitement grew as
he thought about his friends and
family and the gifts he would make
for them. “Hmmm…there is Mom,
Dad, my little brother Boomer, and
my best friends Dart and Turtle.”
Chester said to himself as he
scampered down one of his tunnels.
He ran to the left, then to the right,
all the way to the end where he
stopped. There it was—Chester’s
treasure room! Inside this room
Chester’s “treasures” were stacked
on little shelves. See, Chester likes
to collect things. Almost every
time Chester goes out he finds
something interesting to bring
home. Just last week he found a
ribbon under some leaves, a dime,
and a shiny gold button over by
the lake. On gloomy days Chester
liked to come down to his treasure
room and just look everything over,
and wonder what it was. Thanks
to Dart and Turtle he learned what
most of them had been used for, but
he couldn’t understand why anyone
would leave them in the woods.
As Chester looked around his
room, he found several things that
his friends and family might like
to have. Chester got very busy,
he cleaned, he scrubbed and he
created. Several hours later, the
very sleepy chipmunk was finished!

Feature
Consignment Store Owners Breathe Sigh of Relief
by Beth Britton
On August 14th, 2008 former
President George Bush signed and
set in motion The Consumer Product
Safety Improvement Act of 2008.
This Act was brought about by the
large amount of recalled toys and
baby products in the year 2007.
The CPSIA calls for any children’s
product exceeding the amount of
600-ppm (parts per million) lead
content cannot be sold in the United
States. Items that fall under this Act
are children’s toys, cribs, pacifiers,
children’s jewelry, baby bouncer
seats, walkers and jumpers. Any
product that can be mouthed, or
ingested by a child under the age
of twelve must be tested for safety.
This Act will begin February 10th,
2009. One year following this date
the lead count will drop to a strict
300-ppm, then continues down to
100-ppm. This law will also prohibit
against children’s items containing
PVC (polyvinyl chloride ) and the
chemical phthalate.
This is exciting for parents in
that within the year we will be able
to purchase toys and products for
our children and have peace of
mind that it will not cause long
term health problems, or that a
favorite, beloved toy will have to be
taken from our children because of
another recall.
18
However, shortly after the Act
was passed, some local business
owners began to worry about how
the CPSIA would affect them. Local
consignment stores such as Once
Upon a Child, Sweet Repeats, and
Little Lambs and Ivy are all small
businesses who would not have the
funds to possibly control and test
every item of clothing or toy that
came through their store. Other
stores in the community that provide
a service of clothing and toys at
a lower cost such as Josephine’s
Closet, the Salvation Army and
Goodwill feared how they would
continue to provide a service to
children and families that needed
them the most. Feeling that their
hands were tied, they braced for
the worst and prepared to shut their
doors after February 10th, left with
a large inventory of products that
would not be accepted anywhere.
On January 8th, 2009 an
amendment was issued by
the Consumer Product Safety
Commission stating to all resale
shops of children’s merchandise:
“…. Sellers of used children’s
products, such as thrift stores
and consignment stores, are not
required to certify that those
products meet the new lead limits,
phthalates standard or new toy
standards.
Clarksville Family
“The new safety law does
not require resellers to test
children’s products in inventory
for compliance with the lead limit
before they are sold. However,
resellers cannot sell children’s
products that exceed the lead limit
and therefore should avoid products
that are likely to have lead content…
Those resellers that do sell products
in violation of the new limits could
face civil and/or criminal penalties.”
That’s great news for local
resellers as well as consumers.
Once Upon a Child’s director, Susan
Baustian issued a response to the
amendment on the OUAC website
saying they are still committed to
buying and selling good quality
children’s products but will not
accept the following:
•
•
•
•
Recalled children’s products
Children’s jewelry containing lead
Wood painted or metal toys
Flimsy toys that can be broken
down into small parts
• Dolls, stuffed animals that have
buttons eyes or noses or other
small parts that can come off and
become a choking hazard.
Cindy Corlew of Sweet Repeats
also had something similar to say in
response to the Jan. 8th amendment:
“It’s business as usual. We will
still accept clothes and toys three
years old or newer that are not on the recalled list.” She
says she is committed to staying on top of all recalled
items listed. She will also not be accepting any wood
painted surfaces, unless the product was hand made
and hand painted using lead free paint.
As a parent, I can’t resist the huge consignment sale
of Little Lambs and Ivy that is set up twice a year by
Jeanette Smith. If you have ever been to this event you
would know that she has wall-to-wall merchandise that
is priced by individual consigners. I was curious as to
how this new amendment would affect this year’s sale
occurring in March.
She commented that she would know the items on the
recall list, as would her volunteers. If any merchandise
is spotted, it will be removed and not sold at that sale.
If you plan on being a consigner for this sale, please
check out the Little Lambs and Ivy website www.
tnconsign.com where there will be posted links and
addresses of sites where you can obtain a list of all
recalled items including cribs, car seats, bouncy seats
and other children’s products.
While it would seem that all the confusion over
this Act is now cleared up there are still other battles
occurring. The American Library Association was
approached by the General Council of the Consumer
Product Safety Commission saying that it was their
“opinion” and “interpretation” of the CPSIA that all
books intended and used by children under the age
of twelve be pulled off shelves. In response the ALA
has requested that America’s libraries send letters of
intent to the CPSC urging them to release an opinion
to the General Counsel to send out a statement that
more closely reflects Congress’ true intent for the law.
The Act states that books and other non-book, paperbased printed materials should not be subject to the
lead, phthalate, and applicable ASTM standards that
are referenced in CPSIA because they do not present
any of the health or safety risks to children that the law
intended to address.

While it may seem that this Act has ill intent for

ALTAR BOYZ
Book by Kevin Del Aguila, Music and
lyrics by Gary Adler and Michael Patrick
Walker.
ALTAR BOYZ is a foot-stomping, rafterraising, musical comedy about a fictitious
Christian boy-band on the last night of
their national “Raise the Praise” tour.
The Boyz are five all-singing, all-dancing
heartthrobs from Ohio: Matthew, Mark,
Luke, Juan and Abraham. As they perform
their signature hits such as “Rhythm In
Me,” “The Calling,” and “I Believe,” the
Boyz question their loyalty to each other
and ask whether or not faith is really
holding them together. They finally
deliver a message of unity, that “there is
no star as bright as its constellation, no
harmony in a single voice.” February 6, 7,
11, 12, 13, 14*, 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28.
William Shakespeare’s Macbeth
An anatomy of the relationship between
ambition and corruption, Macbeth is
one of Shakespeare’s most bloody and
fear-filled tragedies. Often regarded as
archetypal, the play tells of the dangers
of the lust for power and the betrayal of
friends. Based loosely on the historical
account of King Macbeth of Scotland many
superstitions are centered on the belief the
play is “cursed,” referring to it instead as
“The Scottish play.” March 6, 7, 11, 12, 13
and 14*.
**World Premier**
All Quiet On The Western Front
Adapted for the stage by John McDonald
from the novel by Erich Maria Remarque.
A young soldier faces profound
disillusionment in the soul-destroying
horror of World War I. First published
in German in 1929, it sold 2.5 million
copies in twenty-five languages in its first
eighteen months in print. In 1930 the book
was turned into an Oscar-winning movie
of the same name. Now in these uncertain
times of war, All Quiet on the Western
Front will speak to a new generation from
the stage. March 20, 21, 25, 26, 27, 28*.
Curtain Times
7:00 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday evenings,
