GREEN HILLS FREE PROGRAM NEWS Page 18 VOLUME 25 Design plans direct growth in Nashville neighborhoods OOR R D M AR RT TIIN IN RD HIL L SB CL OR EG H OR OP IK E NA VE CRES TM JO J O NE NE S RD RD HIIL LL S BO RO C IR IR LO L ONE NE O OA AK R RD D RIIC R IC CH HA AR ARD The Urban Design Overlay in Green Hills has prompted concerns about what it allows for development. Jenny Upchurch Associate Editor UDO – it’s a term not many in Nashville recognize. But the Urban Design Overlay guidelines are guiding developers remaking the streetscape and skyline in hot real estate areas such as Hillsboro Village and Green Hills. There are 17 UDOs in Davidson County, from Bellevue to Donelson to Music Row and Lenox Village. Each is developed with community input to protect existing character or establish a uniform look not required by properties’ base zoning. Metro Council member Emily Evans wants to add another to guide development at the Highways 70/100 split in the Belle Meade/West Meade neighborhood. No other Urban Design Overlay has generated more recent discussion than the guide for Green Hills. The Southern Land Co. plans to build a 16-story apartment/office/retail tower on Hillsboro Pike under the UDO provisions. The Southern Land tower was only the second project designed within UDO guidelines. The first was the Hill Center, a Main Street-like cluster of two-story buildings. Some in Green Hills were shocked that a building that tall – at one point 22 stories – could meet the UDO guidelines. The Southern Land controversy prompted some calls to revise the Green Hills urban design plan.

The city’s three elected commissioners explained the 95acre site in the corner of Franklin Pike and Old Hickory Boulevard could generate enough sales tax to offset the 4-DAY FORECAST Page 6 NUMBER 48 DECEMBER 12, 2013 Urban Design Overlays ABBO T TT T WOODMONT REALTY expected loss of Hall income tax, which now provides 40 percent of Oak Hill’s $1.5 million annual budget. The alternative would be to cut services significantly, such as ending trash pickup, or create a Oak Hill property tax on top of Davidson County’s, probably an extra $500 a year, said mayor Austin McMullen. But the proposal is not a rezoning, Oak Hill leaders told Thu. 12/12 36ºF Rain 0% 26ºF the wary crowd. “We’re not rezoning it. We’re creating a parcel that could be rezoned,” assistant mayor Jennifer Claxton said. Any rezoning would have to meet extensive requirements, the city leaders said. A development would have to be a minimum of 30 acres with strict requirements such as setting aside green space.

Tracy Trott, Commissioner John Schroer, Kendell Poole, Richard Paige, and Commissioner Bill Gibbons look on. - photo by Dru Smith Dru Smith Staff writer Tennessee law enforcement across the state reduced impaired driving fatalities by a third this year over last. In 2013, due to heightened safety measures, 101 fewer impaired driver accidents cost lives than in 2012. “Over the holiday season, impaired driving gets a lot of attention but for 365 days a year, it is the number one priority of the Tennessee Highway Patrol,” said Highway Patrol Col. Tracy Trott. Safety/Homeland Security Commissioner Bill Gibbons praised Col. Trott’s successful I40 Challenge last Thanksgiving. State troopers were stationed every 20 miles across I-40 in Tennessee to deter bad driving Sat. 12/14 46ºF Rain: 40% 31ºF 12 hours the day before Thanksgiving and 12 hours on the Sunday after the holiday. “Not a single person lost his or her life to bad driving behaviors on I-40 during those time periods,” Gibbons reported. Col. Trott persuaded neighboring states where I-40 passes through to follow Tennessee’s lead. As a result, Trott’s innovative I-40 Challenge extended from North Carolina to California. Nashvillian Mary Paige spoke on behalf of her 24-yearold daughter, killed by a 19-yearold drunk driver in 2008. “Thanks to the excellent investigation of the Metro Police Department and the creative sentencing of Judge Mark Fishburn (the drunk driver) See DUI on Page 26 Sun. 12/15 Rain 10% 35ºF 25ºF TICKED OFF HOT-LINE 298-5597 TICKED OFF E-MAIL tickedoff @gcanews.com PRESORTED STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE PAID NASHVILLE, TN PERMIT # 338 Page 2- The News, December 12, 2013 December 12, 2013, The News- Page 3 FirstBank opens Green Hills branch FirstBank celebrated the grand opening of its new Green Hills branch on Abbott Martin Road on Friday, Dec. 6, with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. The opening marks the 13th Middle Tennessee FirstBank branch, continuing the expansion for the third-largest Tennesseeheadquartered bank. The new bank looks more like a sleek coffeehouse than a bank with a coffee bar, a lounge and original art, such as the mobile documenting the building’s construction and a collage made from 1920s and 1930s ledgers of the original bank. - photo by Jenny Upchurch Letters to Santa Children can write a letter to Santa Claus and help make other kids’s dreams come true with a promotion by Macy’s for the Make-A-Wish program.

Andy Warhol’s Flowers Cheekwood exhibitions span bugs to bamboo Cheekwood will host an impressive range of art exhibitions in 2014, from an exploration of Andy Warhol’s Flowers to award-winning student art and contemporary Japanese works in bamboo to giant bugs and Tennessee artist William Edmondson. The botanical garden and museum in Belle Meade will also extend its operating hours. Beginning Wednesday, Jan. 1, the attraction will be open between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday and every Friday between May and October until 10 p.m. Scholastic Art Exhibition Jan. 31- March 2 Cheekwood will display Gold Key Award-winning artwork by area high school students before the work goes on to be judged by a national panel in New York. Modern Twist - March 22 – May 26 This exhibition explores innovative bamboo art since the mid-20th century, featuring rare wall-hung installations and pieces never before seen in the United States. Martin Shallenberger Artist-in-Residence - March 22 Patrick Dougherty is known for his giant, tangled works created from sticks and tree saplings, described as “startling (and delightful) … woolly lairs and wild follies, gigantic snares, nests and cocoons.” David Rogers’ Big Bugs May 24 – Aug. 31 David Rogers’ Big Bugs outdoor installation will feature 11 massive-scale insect sculptures, including three giant ants, a gigantic daddy longlegs, and an enormous praying mantis. Andy Warhol’s Flowers June 14 – Sept. 7 Fifty years ago, Andy Warhol began working on silkscreen paintings of flowers, the only subject that he revisited throughout his entire career and in almost every medium. William Edmonson and Friends - Sept. 27 - Jan. 3, 2015 William Edmondson was the first African-American artist to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1937. Cheekwood’s exhibition will highlight the Edmondson sculptures from its permanent collection supplemented by selected loans. Cheekwood is located at 1200 Forrest Park Dr. For information, call 615-356-8000 or go to cheekwood.org.

Planning board will consider revising lot subdivision rules Proposed changes in rules about subdividing property often used to tear down one house and rebuild several - is scheduled for a public hearing and possible approval by the Metro Planning Commission at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12 The meeting will begin at 4 p.m. in the Sonny West Conference Center on the ground floor of the Howard Office Building , 700 2nd Ave S. The new rules distinguish between areas as residential maintenance and residential evolving. It would be more difficult to subdivide in mainte- nance areas than evolving. Under the proposed rules, a request to subdivide a lot in a neighborhood maintenance area would require that its lots be comparable in size as well as the character of the neighborhood. But the neighborhood evolving area would not weigh comparability with adjacent properties. The draft regulations are online at the planning department’s section of the nashville.gov website. Online comments can also be posted on that website. Around 200 architects, engineers, contractors and others from the building community gathered Thursday, Dec. 5, at the Cathedral of the Incarnation to build a 15foot-long gingerbread ski village. Page 4- The News, December 12, 2013 Larryʼs Home Page By Lawrence M. Lipman Donʼt spend the holidays sick because of home December is filled with the joys of holidays and time with our families. However, the month also is commonly filled with sickness for the folks in Middle Tennessee. Last week it went from 70 degrees to freezing in a day! The constant change in the weather often leads to sickness such as the cold. My first suggestion to keeping healthy is starting where you spend the most time — your home. These are some basic steps you can take in your own residence, which can help with long-term value growth as well as current health standards for you and your family. • Make sure your home is dry. Dry homes minimize moisture and mold, which can trigger allergic reactions and asthma attacks. A humid environment can also be the perfect breeding ground for cockroaches, rodents and dust mites. Therefore, make sure you have a quality drainage system and avoid stagnant water and cracks within your home’s foundation. Humidity within homes can cause rot, mold and insect infestation. • Make sure your home is clean. Clean homes have minimal clutter and dust. Dust can also trigger allergy attacks and cause an array of other healthrelated problems. Even though it is practically impossible to keep a home completely dustfree, we can reduce the amount of dust that accumulates within our homes. • Replace old carpets. If the carpets in your home are very old, it’s time to get rid of them. Dust, mites, toxins and many other hazardous elements can accumulate in car- pets through the years. This can be a reasonably costly investment so think about how you can budget for this project and then complete it in months to come. • Strive for cross-ventilation and maximize sunshine. Ventilation helps remove allergens in the air and improve air quality. Sunshine provides light and clarity and keeps things dry. It is also essential for our personal wellbeing. • Make sure your home is combustion product safe. If you have natural gas in your home, be sure to have your system checked annually. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous by-product of natural gas, and while gas can heat your home very efficiently, it is important to make sure there are no leaks! • Strive for a toxic chemicalfree home. Be wary of pesticides and fertilizers used in your neighborhood. Check out the cleaning detergents you use. Get your house tested for lead, radon and asbestos. A healthy home is a happy home. As a result, we should all strive to make our home base as relaxing, nurturing and restorative as possible. The last thing you want is to be sick for the holidays! Lawrence M.

Real estate is Lawrence’s career, but also his passion, and he takes pride in guiding buyers and sellers through exciting home transitions at any budget. Lawrence welcomes questions and can be reached by calling 615-364-3333. Robert D. Collins, M.D., professor of Pathology, Microbiology and Immunology, Emeritus, died Nov. 28. He was 85. A memorial service will be held at West End United Methodist Church on Saturday, Jan. 18, (time to be determined). In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the Vanderbilt Medical School Endowed Scholarship Program, Alive Hospice, American Rivers and West End United Methodist Church. Grants are available for historic sites The Tennessee Wars Commission and the Tennessee Historical Commission have announced a new grant program to protect Civil War and Underground Railroad sites in Tennessee. Applications are now available. Funding for the grants is made possible by the Tennessee Civil War Sites Preservation Act of 2013, which was passed this year by the Tennessee General Assembly and signed into law by Gov. Haslam. The new program will help fund the acquisition of the properties or of protective interests in properties such as conservation easements for land associated with the 38 most significant Civil War sites in Tennessee. In addition, the grants will assist in funding Underground Railroad sites eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or for being designated a National Historic Landmark. “This is a significant boost to our ongoing work to ensure the permanent protection of the hallowed ground where men fought and gave their lives,” Fred Prouty, Program Director for the Wars Commission said. “In addition, the fund also has the potential to help preserve places associated with the road to freedom for those escaping slavery.” The amount of funds available for grants in Tennessee is expected to be approximately $483,000. The grants will pay a 50 percent match. The grant recipient must provide the remaining 50 percent of the costs as matching funds. Completed applications must be submitted by February 1. Applications for grants are available at the Tennessee Wars Commission, 2941 Lebanon Road, Nashville, 37243. Prouty may also be reached by email at [email protected].

The Nashville native’s book is a collection of 365 of the daily inspirational messages that DuBois began sending then-Senator Barack Obama during his first presidential campaign. Over the years, DuBois grew to serve as a spiritual adviser to President Barack Obama. DuBois recognized the stress of that first campaign on his boss. He asked Obama if he could begin emailing him devotionals to read each morning. These messages included short snippets of scripture, stories, quotes and prayers selected to give the then-candidate for State Rep. Harold M. Love, Jr., author Joshua DuBois, and Chairman Roy Herron, Tennessee Democratic Party, visited after Dubois’ spoke at Vanderbilt’s Divinity School.---photo by Holly Spann president counsel, encouragement and inspiration. During Obama’s first term as president, DuBois directed the White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Through his work at the White House, DuBois gained an inside view on Obama’s faith and his values. The book includes longer meditations and DuBois’ insights upon accompanying the president on momentous events such as the Sandy Hook shootings. He is founder of Values Partnerships, which advises leaders in government, business and the nonprofit sector on faith-based partnerships and religion in the public square. Democratic women: The Davidson County Democratic Women held their traditional Holiday Tea Dec. 8 at at Gracie Porter's home in East Nashville. The Dems collected gift cards for The Little Pantry That Could, the small local pantry serving homeless persons and families. Giftcards in all denominations were welcomed from retailers like Aldi, Save-aLot, Dollar General and Kroger. In particular, giftcards to Academy Sports and Outdoors and Walmart were appreciated so those living without homes could purchase camping equip- ment.

Why? Obviously, financial statements are used to prepare tax returns and to pre- pare required governmental information reports. But what does a financial statement really tell the recipient? If it were reviewed it would disclose how 5 0 O FF I N ITI A L C O M P U T E R D I A G N O S TI C S ( r e g u l a r l y p r i c e d $ 9 5 .50) THIS AD MUST BE PRESENTED BEFORE ANY WORK IS DONE Service Center Import and Domestic Auto Repair and Maintenance 615-352-8434 www.TerrysServiceCenter.com 847 Hillwood Blvd Nashville, TN 37209 Next to Arby’s, off Charlotte Ave the client’s financial health. But, we have found that most of the financial statements prepared and delivered to our clients are never read. We offer our clients the opportunity to allow us to conduct a 30-minute financial checkup annually, or more often, if necessary and that offer is available for all clients. Through simply sitting down with clients and reviewing financial statements, we build a bridge from the past to the future or educate the client regarding necessary adjustments during the year.. The session is not time consuming, and it is highly productive. At a minimum, it will deepen the relationships with clients. It may also generate additional fees for the practice -- clients learn that we are more than a tax preparer/compliance professional. Here are some basic things that should be done in each of these sessions: 1. Explain the financial statements in plain and easy-tounderstand language. The Homes ... From Page One only be 25 percent residential, probably condominiums. But residents were unswayed. “Oak Hill was founded as strictly residential and worst thing a CPA can to do is turn these sessions into oneway communication where clients are lectured and may not understand the issues being discussed. Numbers from a balance sheet or income statement don’t mean anything to the average and highly intelligent business client. We must explain accounting and make sense of the financial numbers for clients. This point is vital. 2. Develop some understanding of margin management. Most businesspeople don’t understand the importance of margins. In many businesses, either the gross margin or the net margin drives the business most. (Gross margin is sales less cost of sales divided by sales. Net margin is net profit divided by sales). Many good businesspeople think that the key to success is increasing sales volume. They don’t have an appreciation for how volume affects both cash and profit. Many times, increases in sales may decrease profits or cash or both. That occurs when fixed that’s why we all bought here,” said Michael Carlson. “This is going to destroy that. There are better ways to raise revenue to replace declining Hall taxes.” The proposal has been approved once by city commissioners. It was scheduled to be discussed and voted on for a costs must be paid to increase the sales. (For example: the necessity to rent more space.) 3. Point out some very simple areas the businessperson can work on. In my experience, the vast majority of businesses are driven by three or four key pieces of data. If these are managed well, the business does well. If they are not managed well, the business does not do well. It is important to try to identify these before the session. The sessions should be informal and brief. If the session goes well the client will consider the session as true strategic information, not just jargon. We look forward to working for you, so you may accomplish your business goals. Give us a call. For more information, please call Wilson & Wilson, PC, CPA, CFE at 615-673-1330 or send an email to us at [email protected]. final time at 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 19, at the city office, 5548 Franklin Pike.

December 12, 2013, The News- Page 23 Public hearing Dec. 12 Forest Hills to revise zoning rules Jenny Upchurch Associate Editor The city of Forest Hills will hold a public hearing at 5 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12, to consider amendments to its zoning ordinance. The meeting will be at City Hall, located at 6300 Hillsboro Pike. The biggest change proposed is in the section dealing with building on steep slopes. That is defined as any area within 50 feet of a 20 percent grade or at 800 or higher elevation, said city manager Amanda Deaton. The city has been requiring extensive - and expensive - geotechnical analysis and oversight for any building within those slopes. That has been ongoing since 2010 when a historic rain event caused flooding and, in some places, landslides. “We’ve had time to work with the code and the changes are meant to take what we’ve done in practice and make it more convenient” for owners, Deaton said. For example, if someone wanted to put a fence on a steep slope, the current regulations require the geotechnical study. That would be removed. “Someone doesn’t have to pay $5,000 for a fence ... It provides more flexibility but balances that with protection for our hillsides,” she said. Contact Jenny Upchurch at 615-298-1500 or email [email protected].

Bellevue church members to enjoy labyrinth Sunday Bellevue Christian Church at Old Harding Road plan a unique gathering this Sunday, Dec. 15. After services, members and guests as a group are invited to walk the church’s labyrinth. A labyrinth is a powerful symbol of spiritual journey that was introduced into medieval prayer practices when traditional pilgrimages to the Holy Land became too dangerous for most travelers. This long-forgotten mystical prayer tool is being rediscovered and labyrinths are reappearing in many places today. A labyrinth is not a maze – the path into the center and back out again is well marked. Walking the path is a prayer practice of "Circling to the Center," a self-alignment tool that can help put life in perspective and balance. Almost 8 years ago church members decided a labyrinth would make good use of some of the land around the church building. Plans for the labyrinth evolved over several years. Landscape architects were consulted to find the perfect location for the labyrinth, and a search was conducted to find someone who could lay out the pattern for the installation. At long last, Tim Towers of west Nashville marked the pattern on the church ground in May 2008. He, along with church members and landscape workers, dug trenches to place the bricks that marks the path. The bricks were donated by the Union Station Brick Company in Nashville. A sign was placed in late 2011 to make the site easier to find on the church property and to offer suggestions on ways to make a prayer walk more meaningful. Bellevue Christian Church’s labyrinth is a 7-concentric-circle design, and the path is 3feet-wide to accommodate wheelchairs. The labyrinth is free and available for use at any time. Bellevue Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is located at 7201 Old Harding Road, west of Nashville.

No Talk Time/Hermitage Police Precinct Recently, in Hermitage, I was outside the Jacksonian down at the red light. The traffic was backed up bumper-to-bumper all the way to Old Hickory Boulevard. A Metro officer was sitting right beside me. A car came just flying up there. That officer just sat there. Then another car went flying by. That officer just sat there. I went to the Metro Police Precinct to find out why the officer didn’t go after these people. I had to talk through this little old hole.

I’m pretty well Ticked Off. Some canʼt pay $14,000 My mother is among the onequarter of Cloisters residents who have not purchased the fee simple. It has just become a battle of words at this point with no one providing any real explanation for the annually rising cost for the purchase of the land. When she was looking at the property there was no mention of the potential need to fork over another $12,000 and rising. Had it come up, she and others who have bought there would have backed away. I was at her closing and there was no discussion of the impending situation. It was explained, that, as with most purchases of a condominium, residents own a portion of the common property. When the growing push came to purchase the fee simple, we went back to the realtor, who was mystified. He, like us, FREE SHUTTLE SERVICE Affordable Casual Fine Dining I do not live in the Cloister at St Henry’s but I have been keeping up with the situation that exists. So will Mr. John Rochford set the record straight? As a good friend to the late Monsignor George Rohling, I will repeat why the Cloister was built and what Mr. Rochford so eloquently states in his Ticked Off column! The houses were built to provide quality, affordable senior living and as people aged and needed additional service the nursing home on the hill was built (which is another story!!!) When fee simple was pushed through by the Catholic diocese many of these elderly folks moved out to avoid what was being denied to them: a 60-year lease as guaranteed by the church’s late Bishop James Niedergesis. The church should offer a mea culpa for their actions against seniors. This is for the city commissioners in Goodlettsville. How about stopping art shows on the highway.

That’s not safe. I’m a citizen of Goodlettsville. You are making me ashamed to admit it. It used to be a great place to call home but not anymore. You are down on the poor folks that don’t have anything. You need to change your way of doing things. Wake up America, now! Yes, to all of you that voted for your President. He is anything but a truthful leader but still he’s the President. He has plans to overthrow this government. Yes, the United States Of America. You, the voter, had better wakeup. He is being told what to do by someone else. Most of the elected officials in Washington go along with him. Does it sound like some have something on some others. This way the mouths in Washington are scared to speak. Now, not all those elected feel this way. Phone Washington and ask why we are being sold out. All you will get is an office copy of the budget. No answers to any questions. Take a close look his Far East religion. He does not believe in the God that you and I believe in. He is taking this nation apart quickly.

Wake up America, now. be abolished. They show a lack of concern for their patients. The medical equipment is substandard. The whole system is atrocious and our vets deserve better. Beware of tree services A tree service wanted to cut down my tree. They wanted to come by and do tree work or yard work. Do not let them do it. They are scam artists. They don’t finish their work. I had them cut my tree down and it is still all out in the front ditch. They haven’t finished their work. Do not let them work for you. No deer around here I recently hit a deer while driving near Warner Park. I think, from the horns, that this was a buck. The deer got up and ran off. My car could not do the same. The front was damaged. It needs expensive body work. These fellows are really big and heavy. Deer and other wild anni- mals need to be discouraged from running around in populated areas like the Warner Park area. I even think some people may be feeding them acorns or deer corn. This must stop. Thankful, not ticked off The recent snowfall, somewhat unexpected, in Nashville made me grateful for state and local agencies ready and able to clear it up for driving most places. There must have been some planning ahead to be able to do this. Salted roads do make the driving so much safer. Two houses on one lot Two homes built on formerly single home lots went up at two addresses before we knew about it on Lincoln Court in West Meade. Some alert neighbors got the zoning changed to restrict building two houses on one lot on Lincoln Court in the future. The new two-story houses do look very nice, I’ll admit. Vets deserve better I’m Ticked Off about the poor quality of health care at the VA hospitals across the country and in particular the Nashville VA. The veterans deserve better than the medical care they are getting. It’s a struggle to have to fight to get the health care they deserve and need. It’s a shame and a travesty this is going on. My husband is a disabled vet. He is currently at Vanderbilt getting treatment. He will not go back to the VA because of the poor quality of healthcare and the attitude of the workers. The whole VA system just needs to right back.” That is a signal about five or more minutes of stupid commercials are ahead for our viewing pleasure.

Now the local bus runs every 40 minutes while the BRT zips by every 10-15 minutes, usually 75 percent empty. West End commuters should take note of that MTA "improvement" in bus service.

Juliet, died Monday, Dec. 9. Shankle was a member of Center Chapel Church of Christ and the Ladies Bible Class. She was the daughter of the late, James W. and Ellen Seat Shankle Faircloth. Shankle was preceded in death by her husband, John W. Shankle; son, John Robert “Bobby” Shankle; brother, James W. Faircloth and sister, Mildred Phillips. Design ... From Page One Metro Council member Sean McGuire said that while he has not had any meetings with the community to specifically discuss the design overlay, he has consulted with the Metro Planning Department’s staff about what makes sense and what could be possible via the amendment process. “The end goal is to amend the UDO so that it will guide development that will be in line with the community's vision for Green Hills. But, at the same time, whatever changes occur as a result of amending the UDO also have to be respectful of existing property rights and they must also not detract from the many positives that the Green Hills UDO already has.” While many in Green Hills are concerned about recent development trends in the area and the effects of increased density, McGuire said, “… what we don't want is for Green Hills to start moving backwards as a result of new regulations. I do believe we can make changes that will result in smart, sensible growth & redevelopment and that will continue to make Green Hills one of the most desirable places to live, work and play in all of Nashville.” Tim Downey, CEO of DUI ... From Page One will be paying for the crime of killing my child until he is 32 years old,” she said. TDOT Commissioner John Schroer said, “We started a major campaign in October putting our messages on (highway) message boards to comparing fatalities this year to last.” He reported 921 total fatalities in 2013, 19 fewer than last year. TDOT’s effort to make roads safe as possible includes straighting roads, widening She is survived by her son, David S. Shankle, daughter-inlaw, Donna Arrington; grandchildren Jennifer (Michael) Haynes, Marissa (Alan) Hatcher, Sharon (Paul) Poland, Angela Shankle and R.J. Shankle; and nine great-grandchildren. Funeral services were Wednesday, Dec. 11, at Bond Memorial Chapel with Brother John Miller officiating. Entombment followed at Hermitage Memorial Gardens. Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society, c/o Betty Adams, 14270 Lebanon Road, Old Hickory, TN 37138. Visitation was 3-7 p.m. Tuesday and 12-2 p.m. Wednesday at Bond Memorial Chapel, N. Mt. Juliet Road and Weston Drive, Mt. Juliet. Southern Land, said that, if you believe redevelopment of Green Hills commercial core is inevitable “these UDOs are absolutely the way to improve design and walkability because they give developers an incentive to do the right things.” Southern Land will spend $1 million to improve its intersection at Richard Jones Road and Hillsboro, including a safe crossing for pedestrians. A UDO can set standards for building setbacks, size and height and the density of housing and the ratio of how much ground buildings cover. It can set standards for architectural features such as window and entryways and building materials. It can set more specific requirements on parking, landscaping and signs. Downey urges caution in changing the Green Hills UDO because of fears about growth’s short-term impacts, such as traffic congestion. “The planners’ job is to think ahead for 50 years and make that work without sprawl and be more walking and more transit oriented. It’s the right thing to do and you have to start. … It’s inevitable that Green Hills will change and grow. UDOs allow it to be done smartly.” McGuire said one of his goals before he leaves the council is to implement a dedicated funding source to pay for improving Green Hills’ infralanes and shoulders and placing rumble strips on roadsides. Schroer called for strengthened efforts to get drunk and impaired driving under control. Safety Commissioner Gibbons emphasized, “We are being very proactive in making DUI arrests across the state. We want to make sure there are not individuals driving on our roads under the influence and holding them accountable when they are.” So far this year, state troopers have made 5,911 DUI arrests, a 92 percent increase compared to structure for drivers and pedestrians. “The Green Hills UDO currently incentivizes developers to make roadway and sidewalk improvements on their own property. That is great, but it is simply creating islands of functional infrastructure that are separated by a sea of dysfunctional infrastructure. Relying on private developers to revamp our roadway and sidewalk network will only get us part of the way there. We need to look for ways to fix the infrastructure problems in the nearterm because more redevelopment of the Green Hills business district is very likely over the coming decade. McGuire hopes that can be accomplished by changes in state legislation with the help of the Davidson County’s delegation but is exploring other options. He said: “Ideally, this funding source would capture a portion of the sales tax generated within the Green Hills business district and put that money towards fixing our infrastructure. Under that scenario, the people who come to Green Hills for shopping or entertainment but that are not residents of the area would be paying for the majority of our traffic improvements.” McGuire does not want to see an added tax or assessment for shoppers or business owners. November 2010. During the upcoming Christmas holidays, Gibbons said the state will apply the “no breathalyzer refusal” policy. In several counties yet to be selected, when a breathalyzer is refused, medical personnel will give a blood alcohol test under a search warrant issued by a judge. The availability of a judge and medical technician determines which counties are selected. To include an obituary in The News, email the information to [email protected] by 5 p.m. Monday.

And, then, so if our child looks like he’s drowning we can stretching. And, then, it was over. I had survived. text to avoid our having to actually get up, dive days. As I trudge to pull on my work out clothes, I am reminded that it is not for today that I am headed down to Barry’s, but for May 28th that I am headed down to Barry’s. On April 1, of last year, I was trying to figure out why in the world I had joined Barry’s Boot Camp. Older than most by about 20 years, I looked around at all the flat stomachs and tattoos and thought I had landed in The End of the Alphabet- all the Xs and Ys were radiantly merrily running about…and I, standing on my treadmill in horror, was going to be representing the Generation Z, apparently. I sucked in. I stole a glance of me sideways and sucked in even harder. I was the only one in a running skirt and gold hoop earrings. The only tattoo I had was my readers. I sucked in again and hid my glasses in my sports bra. Josh turned down the lights and cranked up “Blurred Lines”. It’s blurry from there. I remember running and going down to the bench and then running and then going down to the bench and then running Why is it that all year long we buy undergarments, too tall heels, and only solid/linear clothes so that we look taller, leaner, and more put together, only to let all it all loose on May 28th? As I struggled over whether to wear a one piece – to be less naked- or go with the two piece in an effort to tan the white stomach, the reality of what I was about to do became ever too clear: I was going to be walking virtually naked in front of people whom I would no more walk around naked in front of than the man in the moon. It is a weird concept, really. If we all looked like the models who advertise the suits, it would be one thing…but without airbrushing, a fan blowing our hair seductively around our curves, and the lighting adjusted ever so slightly when we walk in our high heels towards the lounge chair, we look like winterized people with strips of tight cloth walking around naked. “The empress hath no clothes”- or pride! I think everyone my age has mastered the demure drop of the cover up and the hasty hop to the chair. We have the lifeguard on speed dial, in, and emerge- our emergence more a wet Medusa than The Birth of Venus. So, as we sit at our windows waiting for the snow to melt and the children to get back to school, as we don our big winter coats and look for our gloves, let us remember that All that Glistens is not gold. That warm summer sun for which we yearn today is the same piercing sun that demands that the clothes come off to reveal what we have seductively hidden all winter. I say, “Enjoy each and every one of these well clad days…for tomorrow we shall reap what we have sown!” I encourage us all, during these gray winter days, to see the joy in jeans, and sweaters, and fires, and food. What may be glistening outside today may be snow and ice, but what glitters in our future may be fool’s gold. Because, it is only The Fool who starves and works out all winter in order to walk around naked and cursing all summer long!!! Remember, My Friends, Shakespeare’s words, All that glitters is not gold; Often have you heard that told: Many a man his life has sold But my outside to behold: Gilded tombs do worms enfold Had you been as wise as bold, Your in limbs, in judgment old, Your answer had not been in'scroll'd Fare you well: your suit is cold.' Cold, indeed, and labour lost: Then, farewell, heat and welcome, frost!” “The Merchant of Venice” ..a bit out of context!!! So, off to Barry’s, Here, I go! To conquer frost, and sleet, and snow To conquer suits of youth of age My own true vanity to assuage! Lulu Lemon, I love you dearly, Summer’s heat I truly dread thee! To us all: Here’s to a great week! Bottom’s up!
