See Story, Page 18 A feasibility study to remove the low dam on Richland Creek should be completed soon. - photo by Jenny Upchurch Jenny Upchurch Associate Editor The Richland Creek Watershed Alliance is opposing a request by Metro Parks to continue taking water from the stream to irrigate McCabe Golf Course. The issue will be discussed at a public hearing Tuesday, Sept. 10, at the Metro Police West Precinct. Plan for the future Councilman Sean Mcguire says change may be needed in Green Hills zoning. See Story, Page 16 4-DAY FORECAST “(Richland Creek) needs all its flow to recover. We all agree this has harmed Richland Creek. It’s close to being irreversible, we’re about to lose it,” said Monette Rebecca, executive director of the Richland creek watchdog. Instead of using the creek for irrigation water, the golf course should use treated Metro water from a pipeline built in 2012 and raise golfing fees by $1, Rebecca said. Metro Parks director Tommy Lynch said raising fees would not be fair to golfers who already pay taxes. And he points out that in its permit application Metro agrees to stop taking stream water if Richland Creek gets too low during a drought. Parks is also working with the Cumberland River Compact on the feasibility of removing the dam to improve the stream’s environmental condition. That study will be completed by the end of August, said Mekayle Houghton, the Compact’s Deputy Director. Metro Parks has been using the creek since 1973 to water about 40 percent of the 170acre, 27-hole McCabe golf course. Because the irrigation use has been going on so long, Metro did not have to get a See Creek on Page 8 Mohammed Amine Kalakhi is among foreign students living in Nashville this year. - photo by Ben Daniel Ben Daniel Staff writer A student from Morocco is studying at the Tennessee School for the Blind in Donelson, one of 31 foreign students who recently arrived in Nashville. The American Field Service Intercultural Programs (AFS) is funded by the U.S. Department of State and provides scholarships for secondary school students from countries with significant Muslim population. Students’ countries this year include Japan, Norway, Turkmenistan, Thailand, Austria, France, New Zealand, Italy, Colombia, China, Chile, Flemish Belgium, Bolivia, Finland, Spain, Ghana, Russia, Sweden, Liberia, Germany and Morocco. Mohammed Amine Kalakhi, 16, from Casablanca, was born with little sight, and unsuccessful surgery left him legally blind. Today, he can only see light and shadows. But his limited vision has not limited him. Kalakhi accepted the challenge of coming to the United States knowing little English. “The program said to my teacher that they wanted to try bringing a blind person from Morocco, and so he found me, and I was so excited,” Kalakhi said. “It’s difficult learning in school because it’s another language and it’s hard to under- See Student on Page 5 Planner says locations matter most for Nashville Ben Daniel Staff writer The Nashville Next Speaker Series Monday, Aug. 26, had Joe Minicozzi, founding member of the Asheville Design Center and principal of Urban3 LLC, to explain why and how location matters when developing communities in Nashville.

Buddha weighed more than 31 pounds when photographer Penny Adams spotted him at Metro Animal Control’s shelter. Adams donates her time to photograph cats needing homes at Metro and The Cat Shoppe. “When I saw him, he was under great care. But I knew he was a special needs cat because of the time and expense to get him back to health,” Adams said. “I knew we had the resources and commitment to care” at The Cat Shoppe. So Buddha now lives at the pet shop in Berry Hill, along with several other leaner and younger cats looking for new homes. But on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays, Buddha goes to the Animalia Wellness clinic in Franklin, which has drawn up a gradual diet and exercise program for him. He is working out on the water treadmill for a total of 12 minutes on each visit. The Cat adoptions Both Metro Animal Control and the Nashville Humane Association are offering discounts to place their older cats. • At Metro, cats 1 year and older can be adopted for $5 in a trial program. That includes spaying or neutering, vaccinations and health checkup. For information, cal 615-862-7928 or visit the shelter Tuesdays through Saturdays at 5125 Harding Place. • At Nashville Humane in August, any cat 3 years or older or who has been at the shelter for three months can be adopted for free. For information, call 615-352-1010 or go to the shelter at 213 Oceola Ave. treadmill is like water aerobics for humans: It provides resistance and cushions the joints from stress caused by Buddha’s weight. It scared him at first, but he’s good with it now, his caretakers said. Within three weeks, Buddha has already lost three pounds. The goal is to lose a pound a month. Buddha’s exercise sessions and special food are expensive. So The Cat Shoppe is holding fundraisers, such as inviting the public in to the shop to have their photograph taken with him. Visitors are also encouraged to play with all the kittens and cats to help socialize them and make them better candidates for adoption. The Cat Shoppe has placed more than 100 cats so far this year. His progress is being documented on the shop’s Facebook page. And Buddha has already made a splash in the world media. He has been featured on Good Morning America and in British and German newspapers as well as U.S. ones. “It’s taken us by storm. The world has really fallen in love with him,” Adams said.

Bob Corker recently addressed the global influence of the U.S. and how it matters to Tennessee. Corker plays a significant role worldwide as the ranking Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Speaking to the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, he told nearly a thousand Tennessee business and government executives, “There’s no nation … impacted as much as ours when there’s economic stability around the world.” Tennessee is a national leader in foreign investment and 1 in 5 jobs in the state currently depends on trade. Defunding Obamacare: Asked about efforts to stop funding Obamacare, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker told the media, “People haven’t thought through the fact that to overcome a presidential veto you have to have two-thirds votes in both chambers. Most of the funding for (Obamacare) comes through mandatory spending, which is not even something we take up as part of the continuing budget resolution.” He termed the effort at defunding the health-care strategy “disingenuous,” though he noted he had voted 40 times to repeal the law and would again. Alexander’s fan: “Look, I’m a major Lamar Alexander fan,” U.S. Sen. Bob Corker told media asking about conservative Tea Party efforts to unseat Tennessee’s senior senator. “I wish that people here in the state could see (Sen. Alexander) in action on a daily basis and just the way he represents our state,”saying he hoped to continue to serve with Alexander. “People here understand what a great United States senator he is,” Corker said. Memorializing Blanton: Longtime Tennessee Democratic leader Gladys Crain plans to erect a memorial to the late Gov. Ray Blanton. “People have been most gener- ous with their donations,” Crain told me. “The memorial is being erected in Adamsville. We have the footing poured, but we still need about $3,000 before we order the granite.” Should anyone want to make a donation, please make checks payable to Ray Blanton Memorial and mail to: Gladys Crain, P.O. Box 97, Halls, TN 38040. The late governor’s tenure in office (1975-79) was marred by the highly publicized sale of pardons and liquor licenses, which led to prison sentences for those involved. Keel Hunt notes in his recent book, “Coup,” about the highly unusual 1979 turnover in governors that Blanton’s administration was also “noteworthy for some positive achievements in economic development.” Quoting Commissioner Tom Benson, Hunt writes “Blanton also deserves credit for establishing early relationships with leaders in Japan (which) even- We’ll be he Closing t ore od St o w y d n a B ST SEPT 1 tually led to Nissan’s decision to establish its small-truck plant in Smyrna.” Benson and Blanton “recruited 38 international companies to Tennessee during that period.” With Brooks Parker and Betty Nixon, Gov. Blanton also “was host in June 1976 to an extraordinary meeting in Nashville of 101 delegates to the United Nations. It was the first time the UN members had ever met outside New York City.” THE LAMP STORE Thank You Nashville for lighting your homes with our lamps for the last 35 YEARS!

First, it was forced through without a single Republican vote, surrounded by back-room “sweetheart” deals in exchange for several Democratic lawmakers’ votes. Former New York Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who had a sterling reputation for honesty, said that no monumental piece of legislation should ever be passed without bipartisan support. Second, referring to over 2,000 pages of complexity, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously said, before passage, that we had to pass it before we could understand it. Talking about the cart before the horse! Third, there was a red flag when, though passed in 2010, the health-care law was not to be become effective until 2014. The delay was purposely designed to keep the law from being fully exposed before the 2012 presidential and congressional elections. In addition to the above three warning signs before passage, there has been a cavalcade of awkward and deceiving missteps after passage – down to the present day. First, the Obama Administration played loose and disingenuous with legal arguments supporting the law. Realizing that it could not be passed if it was labeled a tax, Obama vigorously argued to Congress that it was a mandate to buy insurance and not a tax. Then realizing that the mandate was likely to be ruled unconstitutional, the Obama Administration did a “180 degrees”, arguing before the Supreme Court that it was a tax which caused conservative Chief Justice John Roberts to join the four liberal justices in validating the law. Second, Obama has granted numerous waivers from the law: in short, granting immunity from complying with the law, particularly to his strongest political allies such as labor unions. Third, as new reports emerge, it is evident that Obamacare is going to cost much more than ever imagined, that Medicare for seniors will be cut to help pay for it, that there will be glitches galore in implementation (e.g., delay in insurance exchanges being ready on time), and that most Americans will pay more (some substantially more) for their health coverage. Fourth, significant delays are happening. In July, the White House postponed for an entire year the job-killing mandate that required employers with 50 or more workers to insure them, saying that businesses needed more time to get ready. However, a similar accommodation was denied to individuals, despite any financial hardship ordinary citizens may encounter. It looks as if the White House favored the “big people” over the “little people”. Democratic Congressman Kurt Schrader of Oregon said that he was suspicious that this delay was due to “political motivations”, i.e., wait until after the 2014 elections to implement the employer mandate. Moreover, the White House delayed for a year a consumer protection provision that placed caps on patients’ out-ofpocket expenses before insurance kicks in. Again, Obama sided with insurers and employers over ordinary citizens. Fifth, Obama’s promise that anyone can keep his/her current insurance has just been obliterated with the announcement that UPS and the University of Virginia are dropping spousal coverage due to rising costs. More will follow suit. Sixth, Obama delayed a year the IRS verifying incomes to ensure that applicants are actually eligible for subsidies they claim. This will spur fraud. Finally, the most offensive thing to a sense of fair play is the decision to provide subsidies to members of Congress and their staffs to pay for their insurance. Thus, the “elite” that forced the law on ordinary folks escape its harsh realities. This is the height of arrogance and irresponsibility. Obamacare is becoming increasingly unfair and not what we were told it was going to be. Davidson County inmates succeed in jobs training All of the inmates in the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) culinary arts program passed a crucial test to get employment after their release. The 52 inmates, 36 men and 16 women, recently took the Metro food handler’s test with a pass rate of 100 percent. Through the course, inmate students learned how to achieve safe and sanitary food handling practices and are much more likely to obtain employment in the food industry once they are released from jail. “Our goal is for offenders, upon release, to become taxpayers and not continue to be a tax burden. If we can get them certified in areas such as food service and make them employable, the likelihood of them coming back to jail greatly reduces,” Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall said. “Our employees and community volunteers work tirelessly to see this happens and we appreciate the commitment to ensure offender success when they walk out the jail doors.” The food handler’s class is part of the overall culinary arts program at the DCSO. While incarcerated, inmates can also obtain ServSafe, a food and beverage safety training and certification, as well as participate in cooking classes and the inmate food garden project. Inmates planted a variety of fruits and vegetables in the spring and plan to harvest later in the summer. All items will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank.

But I hope to learn more from just talking to new friends.” Kalakhi speaks Arabic and French and takes English classes. But Southern accents have proven to be a particular challenge, he said. After visiting Eugene, Ore., and Washington D.C., he said, coming to Tennessee has been like learning another language all together. He also misses couscous and bastilla, both traditional Moroccan dishes. Although the language and food have been a difficult, Kalakhi says he is going to try to learn as much as he can about the American culture while teaching those around him about his own. “I want to try everything that I can here in Tennessee and in the U.S. before I return,” he said. “I’m taking this as a challenge to learn by talking to people here, and I want to tell people about Morocco, too. Navigating around is hard right now, but it doesn’t matter because when someone helps me to learn it, I can (navigate) easily.” Kalakhi hopes to travel during his stay, including New York City and the Statue of Liberty.

SHELLEY SIGUR 6606 Charlotte Pike #102 • Nashville, TN 37209 615-864-8941 Battery Lane bridge project is completed Jenny Upchurch Associate Editor State highway officials expect to end a months-long detour on Battery Lane on Sunday, Aug. 31. The road has been closed since Monday, June 3, to replace the Battery Lane Bridge over the West Fork Brown’s Creek. The Tennessee Department of Transportation managed the construction of the $655,236 project for Metro Nashville. The project replaced a bridge from 1956. The new bridge meets current road design standards. It has a concrete span with a total width of 42 feet, including two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot shoulders. The bridge is approximately 40 feet long. According to TDOT traffic counts, approximately 16,000 vehicles use this stretch of Battery Lane each day. The original bridge was constructed in 1956. Contact Jenny Upchurch at 615-298-1500 or email [email protected]. State halts closures of driving lanes for Labor Day weekend The Tennessee Department of Transportation will halt all lane closure activity on interstates and state highways for the Labor Day holiday travel period. Construction crews will stop all lane closure activity beginning at noon on Friday, Aug. 30, through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 3. This will provide maximum roadway capacity for motorists traveling during the Labor Day holiday. While lane closure activity will be stopped, workers will still be on site in many construction zones, and drivers are urged to obey posted speed limits. Drivers convicted of speed- ing in work zones where workers are present face a fine of $250 to $500, plus court fees and possible increased insurance premiums. Nationwide travel is expected to see a 4.2 percent increase from last year’s numbers. The summer travel season is expected to close with an estimated 34.1 million travelers taking a trip of 50 miles or more away from home. AAA Auto Club South projects that 595,154 Tennesseans will travel by car this Labor Day holiday, an increase in travel through the state compared to last year’s numbers.

From Page One permit but did so voluntarily, Lynch said. Parks has agreed to take no more than 10 percent of Richland Creek stream flow and to stop withdrawing water if stream flow drops below four (4) cubic feet per second. “We have already initiated the construction of water lines that connect to Metro Water and have agreed to install a valve connected to sensors downstream that would automatically draw from the Metro Water Supply should there be a drought in the foreseeable future,” Lynch said in an email. Rebecca said that the 4 cfs level is too low. At that point, she said, there will be almost no flow, trapping fish in small pools with little oxygen. “When (Parks) need the water most” in a dry spell “is when the water isn’t there,” Rebecca said. “If they pay for (irrigation) water ... they’re going to become water and cost conscious.” Richland Creek has already lost one of its major tributaries, Sugartree Creek, which was rerouted during a Metro sewer Take good care of your money. construction, she said. Three other golf courses border Richland Creek: Belle Meade, Percy Warner and Harpeth. “If this passes, everybody and their sister will want to withdraw from Richland Creek. Old uses will continue and new ones may occur,” Rebecca said. Lynch said TDEC, the regulating authority, has authorized irrigation as a suitable practice. And, he points out, the three parks that border the creek — McCabe, Englund and West — help filter pollutants from rain runoff before they reach Richland Creek. Metro Parks’ study of removing the dam is a separate issue from the TDEC permit. But it shows Parks’ desire to work on improving the creek, Houghton said. Removing the dam will allow fish and other wildlife to move upstream to feed and reproduce, Houghton said. The sediment behind the dam is being tested to see what pollutants would be released if the dam were removed, she said. Richland Creek has other dams, but this is the only one being tested, Houghton said. As far as the irrigation permit, the Cumberland River Compact has not made a public comment on it, Houghton said. “Irrigation is an approved use of Richland Creek. Metro is voluntarily limiting the amount of water they can draw.” Contact Jenny Upchurch at 615-298-1500 or [email protected].

Cox completed 15 libraryrelated activities this summer and her name was drawn at random from more than 3,000 other Nashville-area entries that completed the annual program. Lyric and her family received four passes to Dollywood and a VISA gift card to cover hotel expenses. Lyric said her favorite books this summer were the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling and the Books of Elsewhere series by Jacqueline West. When Lyric was asked why she participated in the Summer Reading Program, she replied, “Because it’s awesome!” Each year, Nashville Public Library hosts a Summer Program. All NPL locations host programming throughout the summer months for all ages and present a reading program with library-related activities and prizes upon completion. This year, NPL hosted over 600 summer programs and drew attendance of 40,000 people to those events. In addition to the grand prize drawing, each branch held local drawings for Target Gift Cards and Kindles. A total of 61 prizes were awarded for completing the Summer Reading Program. A reader points out that trees along Cleghorn Avenue make it impossible to see a traffic signal until the driver is almost upon it. It would be helpful if either the Mall at Green Hills would trim these branches to make it easier for motorists to see the signal or Metro should place “Signal ahead” sign to alert drivers.

Page 16- The News, August 29, 2013 Guest Column By Sean McGuire, Metro Council Green Hills community needs to work together on growth Since the announcement of the Southern Land project a few weeks ago, I’ve received feedback from many constituents regarding the size and potential impact of the project. The tenor of most of that feedback has been rooted in the questions of “How did this get approved?” or, more pointedly, “Councilman, why are you doing this to Green Hills?” I therefore wanted to provide some general information regarding the planning and zoning aspects of the project in the hope of answering those questions. In short, this project does not require the approval of either the Planning Commission or the Metro 2112 8th Ave. So.

The developer is instead utilizing existing property entitlements, and the project only requires the plan review/administrative approval of specific Metro departments (Codes, Public Works, etc.). The base zoning for the assembled parcels, Shopping Center Regional (SCR), was enacted in January 1998. Additionally, the parcels are within the Green Hills Urban Design Overlay (UDO) which was enacted by the Metro Council in August 2002. In other words, for the past 11 years the project’s site has had the necessary zoning and entitlements to permit a project of its scale. It is only now coming to fruition. The SCR zoning permits the retail and commercial uses for the property, but the Green Hills UDO is permitting the design, scale and height of this particular development. Urban Design Overlays offer incentives to developers provided that their proposed development adheres to specific design concepts and development standards. An example of such an incentive is an exemption from counting the residential floor area in a project towards a development’s maximum allowable square footage. Put more simply, the residen- Jenny Upchurch Associate Editor A community meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9, on a 22-story office/retail and apartment tower on Hillsboro Road.

Even though I will not be the Green Hills councilman beyond September 2015, I want to help ensure that any future redevelopment that occurs within the Green Hills UDO is aligned with our vision for the area. I want to start that conversation with you at a community meeting on Monday, Sept. 9, at 6 p.m. at Calvary United Methodist, 3701 Hillsboro Pike, and I hope you can attend. In the meantime, I’ll also be meeting with Planning Department staff to discuss not only the Green Hills UDO, but also the adoption of a longrange traffic and transportation plan for Green Hills. In my opinion, the land values in Green Hills, along with the age and obsolescence of some of its retail buildings, will lead to much more redevelopment in our area over the next decade. Therefore, we need to be looking as far ahead as we possibly can. We need to ensure that the area we love and that we call home redevelops sensibly so that it will continue to be one of the most desirable places to live, work and play in all of Nashville for many years to come. Meeting will discuss development Nashville ... We can help. tial floor area of this project (which is entirely located within the 22-story section of the current development plan) does not count against the development’s overall entitlements. So, with the concerns I have heard from my constituents in mind, I believe we need to reassess the development incentives offered by the Green Hills UDO, especially as they relate to permitted building height. The overall goal of the UDO is well-intentioned: to promote high quality, mixed-use development that is aestheticallyappealing, pedestrian-friendly, and comprehensively-designed (the Hill Center on Hillsboro Pike is an example of a project that was developed using the Green Hills UDO guidelines). UDOs can help create developments that can truly benefit and enhance communities. However, my speculation is that a project of this size was not anticipated by the Council or the community when the UDO was adopted in 2002. Because of that, we need to take a hard look at the UDO so we all can better understand what is possible and what we can expect for redevelopment in Green Hills in the coming years. But I need your help. I will be leaving office in two on .13 acres at $19,500 per acre. He said to think about it as if you were a farmer: You are going to produce as many crops as possible in a single field to produce the most money. Minicozzi went on to show a series of charts and maps comparing areas of Davidson County and the amount of revenue per acre. He explained that compact development generates more tax revenue. “As shareholders you are all investing in infrastructure in this area,” he said. “You should have expectations of return and redevelopments, this is why it behooves you to push for not having surface parking spots downtown. You get a bigger bang for your buck if you build owner, Southern Land, the Metro Planning Department and a private consultant who completed a traffic study on the tower’s impact. Questions should be emailed to [email protected]. Mary Jon Hicks, executive director of TGHAP, said the group is hosting the discussion because of the many calls and questions about the building, which is to start construction early in 2014. The 22-story tower will have 300 apartments, ranging from 500- to 3,000-square-foot units. It will have 50,000 square feet of office space, the majority of which Southern Land will occupy by moving its headquarters to Green Hills. your communities low.” Minicozzi said that an East Nashville neighborhood, Greenwood, that is more dense costing $800,000 per acre is worth about four times more in tax revenue than Belle Meade, valued at $250,000 per acre. On a side note, he pointed out that it was very surprising to find that Green Hills Mall is worth $8 million per acre while other successful malls in Nashville are only worth about $2 million, because it is such a dense mall that it pops out near a value of a downtown building. He went on to show that half of an acre of a downtown building’s value is equal to the 52 acres of 100 Oaks, and inside The Gulch there is value in places between $9 million and $65 million but as soon as you cross the street is drops between $1 million and $3 million. “Your downtown zip code is about .3 percent of your counties total area,” he said. “It’s just a little speck, yet it is producing 20 percent of your county’s total retail taxes. That’s impressive.” He compared this with Opryland, which takes up 9 percent of Davidson County land area but it only producing 8 percent of the retail revenue. The bottom line of his presentation was that as a city we have to build with a plan and compact developments generates more tax revenue. He ended after a question and answer session saying that what surprised him the most was that Nashville is still on the bus system and not already using a newer more efficient version of mass transit.

The master plan looks to transform the west riverfront into a civic park for residents, downtown workers and visitors for events and daily enjoyment. The tree-lined promenade would visually connect the riverfront and provide a shaded path from Korean Veterans Boulevard north to Church Street. Eighteen-foot flood wall markers would line the promenade, providing places for temporary walls to slide in between the markers if the Cumberland were at risk of flooding, a mitigation measure recommended in Metro’s Unified Flood Preparedness Plan. Dean also announced the city will continue redevelopment on the east bank with construction of a riverfront landing as part of a new 4.5-acre park in front of LP Field to include new green space, pedestrian and bike paths and easy access to the river for boaters. The new park and landing will connect with the 6-acre Cumberland Park play area just south of the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge. Metro already owns the property involved in the west and east bank redevelopment and has funds in place to move forward. The West Riverfront Master Plan grew out of the SoBro Master Plan, which recommended making use of the Thermal site as a civic space.

While components in the master plan are conceptual and subject to change during the design phase, it is believed that significant portions of construction on the west bank could be completed in 2015. Other elements envisioned in the master plan include a new plaza and fountains at the end of Broadway and an attractive, accessible floating dock. Future phases could include a redesign of Riverfront Park, transforming the terraced space into attractive and accessible seating and play areas. On the east bank, the design phase on riverfront landing has been completed and a request for proposal on construction will be issued soon. This construction is expected to begin this fall. Metro Council previously approved $6 million in the 2010 Fiscal Year capital spending for the project. This investment would be part of approximately $30 million in east bank redevelopment that includes the Bridge Building and Cumberland Park. The riverboat landing park will bring to life a section of the riverfront in front of LP Field by constructing a new, flat upper park containing trees, green space, a plaza, moveable chairs and tables and pedestrian and bike pathways that will connect to the Bridge Building and Cumberland Park. It will provide new open space for temporary athletic fields, tailgating, special events, festivals and daily use as a place for recreation. A lower park will provide a flatter, gentler slope to the river’s edge to improve access to the water for boaters. It will include seating areas, new trees, picnic areas, a meadow garden and an uninterrupted view of downtown. A concrete landing mat will accommodate canoes, kayaks and crew teams. There will also be docking space for the General Jackson and other large boats and a floating dock for smaller motorized boats. An attractive plaza will be built beneath Ghost Ballet. “By making our riverfront a destination, it creates energy and excitement in the city,” Dean said. “On the east bank, we are adding green space and improving access to the water for people to canoe, kayak and row. On the west side, the Thermal site is the last great vestige of open space in downtown Nashville. I can’t think of a better use for such beautiful green space than an iconic park that all Nashvillians will be proud of and enjoy.” August 29, 2013, The News- Page 19 BUSINESS BRIEFS St. Cecilia Academy St. Cecilia Academy named Susan Beavin as the electronic marketing manager and new assistant to admissions.

Sometimes suppliers have ad copy or scripts that must be used to qualify for a reimbursement. If not, the supplier probably will want to approve of the ad before it runs. Remember, however, that the ad should feature your business prominently in addition to playing up the product. How do you get reimbursed for co-op advertising? There are two approaches. You may have to pay for the ad up front and then give the supplier a copy of the ad. For radio or TV ads, you’ll probably need to show the script and proof of the dates and times the ads were aired. Some suppliers, however, may issue credits that equate to their agreed-upon share of the advertising. Then the business owner can make future purchases from the supplier at a discount. The great thing about shared advertising is it enables a business owner to spend less on advertising and use those savings to grow the business in other ways. Weekly QuickBooks QuickTip!

Thank you for bringing problems to light. I am ticked off at a certain 8th Avenue record store. I brought my grandson there to buy a record on Tuesday. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they still even make real records like we had back in the day. But the record he wanted, displayed prominently for all to see was by a local band called “Diarrhea Planet.” The cover had a picture of a hand with a knife going through it. My grandson is 11 years old. I explained to him that both the cover and the name were disgusting, and I was having no part of it, and I told the clerk it was vile. If we have to live on a "diarrhea planet" show me where to We have added an e-mail address for Ticked Off! Send your comments to [email protected] get off ! No credibility President Obama has zero credibility. I’m ticked off at people and those in the mainstream media that say after all these years, “Oh, he's cool!” How old are you? Three? Let me tell you something. Terrible policies do not make you cool. They make you a terrible person. Granted, some of his poll numbers are down, but the fact is if he wasn't half-black, he would have already been found guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. President Obama is both hard to look at and impossible to listen to. But we must pay attention. Will he ever stop campaigning and barking at us? I doubt it. But I don’t doubt the American people. We will survive, and then thrive, once we learn to never again let a community organizer have a set of keys to the White House. Gridlocked Green Hills The Planning Commission needs to start reining in the overdevelopment of Green Coming S Soon TTO WAR MEMORIAL AUDITORIUM Hills. It seems that every time I turn around someone is tearing down a single family home and building (far too quickly) two or more ugly, over-large Tudor wannabe houses on the same property. Moreover, it seems almost every day some greedy developer is announcing a brand new "mixed use" development, such as the one at Richard Jones and Hillsboro. It was bad enough that it was going to be over 10 stories, now it's going to be 22? Seriously? We simply can't continue to pile people and businesses into Green Hills, it's being ruined.

The appeal was always nice leafy streets with well-kept single-family homes. That almost doesn't exist anymore! I keep hearing the argument that this is all to make it more "walkable," but that's laughable. The cars have to get in there to begin with, and we live with constant gridlock now. I know Metro loves the tax dollars, but please think of those of us who live there. We want to keep our neighborhoods! MBA intercom too loud We live in the Whitland Avenue area and are shocked at the lack of consideration that Montgomery Bell Academy has for its neighbors. The public address system is so loud during athletic events that it is probably heard all the way to Memphis! MBA is a fine school with a good athletic program but they need to understand that this issue needs to be addressed. Still busing? Our neighborhoods are full of every variation of humanity but we are still busing students in form other parts of the city. Why is this still going on? Justice for Trayvon? When George Zimmerman was found guilty, black people all over the country rioted and screamed for justice for Trayvon Martin.

Is President Obama going to come on TV again and let everyone know that it could have also been his son with the group of black teenagers that killed an innocent college student just going for a jog because the little pieces of trash were bored. Yet, the Tennessean, its liberal self, didn’t even run anything on the front page the day after. In fact, I couldn’t find anything about the story until I dug for it online on their website. This whole country is backwards. The real racist people in this country are the freaking minorities. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was Civil War II just because of boredom. Stop it Mayor Dean When in the world can we get Mayor Dean to just go away and leave us alone? First, he builds that major waste space downtown with the stupid convention center that had no point of being built. Who will actually ever go to that place besides a few business events or a car show? Now Dean wants to build a new baseball stadium. Are you kidding me? Yes, it would be neat to have a professional baseball team but shouldn’t we wait to build a stadium until we get one. Nobody in Nashville seriously still cares about the Sounds. In fact, the only people who go anymore are solely going for the dollar beer nights or to entertain out-of-towners. Mayor Dean, just stop adding on to this city. Jim Wilson column So, GCA News is now permitting their regular column contributors to comment outside their" box of expertise" and promulgate their partisan views in another area (8/15/13). To wit, the political screed by the bearded accountant under the guise of ostensible credibility — his son, several emails and one composed by a 21-year-old female. Come on! did she just happen to whip it out before attending a Lady Gaga concert? If you plan to allow serious commentary on the political scene, you need to utilize contributors with more "gravitas.” Ensworth football I watched the Ensworth ver- sus Trinity High School game Friday night, and while Trinity didn’t look like the number 2 team in the country, Ensworth was the obvious better team winning. But I have to wonder, how in the world is Rickie Bowers able to develop a roster like that? I don’t full understand the recruiting process in the TSSAA or how it works with private schools, but I doubt very highly that many of these giant athletes at Ensworth started at Ensworth Middle School like all the other Belle Meade kids. I’d like to see an investigative article about how Bowers is actually getting these players, because after watching that team with their thoroughbred running back Ferby, no one will be able to beat that team in Tennessee.

Wendy Diamond hosted the event and Alex Brown, a K9s For Warriors graduate veteran and his service dog, Skip, were honored during the benefit. PTSD affects up to 30 percent of all soldiers and studies show dogs can be very therapeutic in the treatment of PTSD as well as other military-related stresses. K9s For Warriors needs approximately $10,000 to graduate one veteran and canine team from the time the dog is rescued. This amount includes housing and feeding for the dog and three weeks of training with the veteran with whom the dog will be placed. John Ingram, chair for the event, will match all donations raised, up to $10,000. This will enable at least two veterans to receive the therapeutic dogs. Alex Brown said his therapy dog, Skip, is the reason he was able to eliminate prescription medications and was given the clearance from the VA to stop counseling. U Y K N A TFOH ANIMALS.

Melinda-West Meade Ranch with 4 bedrooms and 3 baths. Acre yard. A Tomato After three years, two months, fourteen days, and 17 hours, our garden finally produced its first red ripe beefsteak tomato. It lasted all of the way through the fried green tomato stage. It snuck by the caterpillars and bugs to finally make it to Ripe. Saturday, I went out to check our watermelon crop (which has turned out to be cantaloupes, instead), and what to our wondering eyes should appear but a bright red tomato sitting-just as proud as you please- atop the railroad tie. Over the past few months, several friends have “Returned Home”, an expression that I have learned to love because, if I did not embrace it, I would not be able to understand it. “Home” sounds so safe and so orderly. It sounds …right. When Leila was a little girl, she , one day asked me if I ( Jodie) were going to die. My answer was, “Yep. I am – but not for a very, very long time. I’m not ripe, yet.” Leila asked me what in the world I meant by that. I explained that “God has still got a lot of work to do on me before I am heaven material. I need to go through a few more droughts and wet spells to get ripened. I am still “green” in the eyes of God. Not quite ripe for the pickin’. ” And, I thought. I probably needed to impress this child with words of wisdom, ADDITIONAL If a pool is what you want, here it is! This is the sexiest pool in Nashville. With a deck covering the hot tub and shallow end section of the pool, this pool can be used year round. Boy, does the shade help on these hot, hot summer days!!! Opening to ground level pool is the guest suite and playroom. Upstairs, you will find the kitchen, two dens, a study, and a formal dining room that opens to the back veranda and the front covered porch. Upstairs, you will find the master suite, two additional bedrooms, their shared bath, and another study/flex room. The parking pad outside the three car garage has plenty of parking for friends and family. There is street parking as well. This home is zoned for Percy Priest which is right across the street from Otter Wood. There is a big yard for dogs, but limited actual mowing. This is a house that will knock your socks off and land you in the pool! Under contract News from the Homefront FOR At Hillsboro Road and Tyne Blvd, travel south to first left which will be Otter Creek. Turn Left. Follow Otter Creek about 1/2 mile to you see the Otter Wood entrance on right. Go through gate along Annandale until the second street on your right which will be Breckenridge. Turn right. Follow to 1 Breckenridge. but, the truth, is that God has not quite gotten done with me yet. As much as I would like to think that I would be a great “pick”, I am afraid I have a few more trials and tribulations to get through to prove my salt, shall we say. – So, if bad is good- I guess, for once, it is good to be bad- because, maybe, just maybe, this means I have a long strong, heady life in front of me. Because, I, sure as heck, know that I have lots of trials to look forward to going through to weather me down. You see, I keep wanting to do things my OWN way… in spite of the fact I have been told a few thousand times (by my mother, in particular) that it kind of slows down the ripening process to force things into MY way… So, how is it that we wait and wait and wait and wait for that one tomato to finally make its way to our kitchen window? How is it that that one tomato can occupy our minds so much? It is only a tomato?! Could it be that we are like a tomato to God? Although, I would like to say that I am more important to God than a tomato, maybe we are all the same, in the end, to Him- a small juicy piece of art. I wonder if He watches each and every one of His creations with as much tenacity as the girls and I have watched and waited for that one tomato? When He gets us back, does He put us on the shelf to show HOMEFRONT, ARTICLES AND MORE JODIEBARRINGER.COM!

Beautiful views of the spectacular back yard for the master bedroom and the living room. the other angels what finally ripened down there on earth? Do the angels all gather round to clap at the final product of God’s work? Are Gram and Pop, and Dot and Harry all up there waiting for me to finally do the right thing, dammit? And grow up? Are we all growing and learning? And growing and learning. And growing and learning until God says, “By, Gum, Child, you are just fine, just fine”….and He takes us into his arms and hugs us, and we squeal with ripened joy as we come Home? And, will we look around and realize that what we were doing on earth was meeting all of our friends in heaven, and that God knew what he was doing all along as we stomped and panicked and cried and laughed and huffed and puffed until we finally just said, “O.K. take over”, and we learned to listen. And, we learned that salt always does make a tomato taste better. And, now, we know why. Have a great dayKiss your babies, tell your parents you love them, and take a walk in the park!
