BEAUTY STOP GREEN HILLS Page 2 NEWS VOLUME 26 Page 13 NUMBER 12 MARCH 20, 2014 McGavock, Whites Creek and Antioch Schools add youth courts Cane Ridge students participate in a youth court that hear and decide cases involving other young people who are first-time offenders. Emily Ledbetter Staff Writer After a successful launch at Cane Ridge High School’s Academy of Law, three more Metro high schools are implementing student-run youth court programs. McGavock High School’s Academy of Health Science and Law, Whites Creek High School’s Academy of Education and Law and Antioch High School’s Academy of Teaching and Service took the first steps with a joint training session. Students take on the roles of court officials in youth court. They hear and decide cases involving other young people who are first-time offenders and have been cited for lowlevel offenses such as vandalism, shoplifting and truancy. The program is an excellent fit for Metro’s Academies of Nashville, where students are encouraged to get real-world experience in career fields they might pursue after graduation. “I can’t think of anything more ‘real-world’ than having the opportunity to work in an authentic courtroom setting while working on actual cases that are being tried in a court of law,” said McGavock Principal Robbin Wall. “These students are getting a once in a lifetime chance to be involved with our criminal justice system and not only see the inner workings of a courtroom but to be an active participant. These experiences will allow our students to make better decisions regarding career choices as well as areas of study in college. The big advantage here is they get this experience while they are still in high school.” The youth court program in See Court on Page 15 More than 240,000 calls Metro’s service requests pile up Andrew Coffman Smith Staff Writer Metro Public Works fills in a lot of potholes, and the numbers show it.

Emily Ledbetter Staff Writer The Nashville Symphony Chorus will return to the stage for the annual Voices of Spring concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 23, at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. The concert, which is free and open to the public, is the first of several events this spring as the ensemble continues a yearlong celebration commemorating five decades of memorable performances from the choral repertoire. Voices of Spring will showcase half a dozen works, including Rachmaninoff’s All Night Vigil, Debussy’s Salut Printemps and Britten’s Voices for Today, the last of which will feature the Women of the Nashville School of the Arts Festival Choir. “The entire program is about featuring the chorus. This year, we are performing without the orchestra. It has been a wonderful journey for the chorus to dive into the Rachmaninoff repertoire,” said Kelly Corcoran, Chorus Director. Rachmaninoff’s All Night Vigil is 60 minutes of a cappella singing. Despite being originally written in Church Slavonic, the Nashville Symphony Chorus will be performing All Night Vigil in English. “The Voices of Spring concert is an opportunity to highlight the vocal aspects of the symphony chorus and expose the entire community to the beauty and love of music.

Hicks Road reopens after sinkhole fixed in Bellevue Metro Public Works crews have re-opened Hicks Road between Sawyer Brown Road and Hwy 70 South. It was closed due to a sink hole and the repair work has now been completed. The sinkhole was caused by the collapse of a 48inch stormwater culvert under the road. It appears at this time that the failure was because of age. Two 48-inch pipes will be placed there. Public Works is responding to reports of potholes caused by this winter’s low temperatures and ice and rain.

Send news tips to [email protected] Jenny Upchurch Associate Editor With a controversial interchange on Granny White Pike from Interstate 440 deleted, a long-range plan to ease Green Hills’ transportation issues was given a quick stamp of approval by the Metro Planning Commission. The complex and costly plan proposes easing the upscale retail and residential area’s gridlock by offering alternatives to driving. That includes $6 million to improve mass transit options, including a mini-hub so Green Hills riders can connect with other routes, such as the University Collector, without going to the Music City Central downtown. It also proposes a circulator bus within Green Hills traveling a loop that includes the Mall at Green Hills and Burton Hills. The plan suggests a park-andride lot within Burton Hills. The plan also envisions spending $53 million on an array of sidewalks, bike lanes, multiuse paths and greenways. A high-priority sidewalk would target linking schools such as Harpeth Hall and J.T. Moore Middle School to Hillsboro Pike. Only one person spoke in opposition. He said this emphasis on non-vehicle traffic and the periphery of Green Hills won’t solve the real crunch, which is traffic on Hillsboro Pike. Putting more city buses onto Hillsboro Pike will mean more vehicles fighting for the same traffic lanes. He pointed out that the previous plan in 1994 was not funded and neither is this one. Michael Briggs, the Metro planner who led the design, agreed that the plan depends heavily in private redevelopment to become reality. Planning Commission members agreed that the lack of funds is frustrating. But it is better to have a plan ready if money becomes available. “A plan is how you get to the funding step,” Doug Sloan, deputy director of planning, said. “I don;t think it can (sit on a shelf) with the growth in the Green Hills area.” Let’s Move Join us in fighting childhood obesity Come out for... 5 Saturday, April 5th, 2014 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. BICENTENNIAL MALL 600 James Robertson Parkway • Nashville, TN 37243 LOTS of fun activities!

Lipman Spring maintenance ensures you donʼt lose your cool With snow days and icy roads still fresh in my memory, it’s hard to believe that this week marks the first day of spring. A new season promises the long-awaited return of warm temperatures and the less anticipated whirlwind of household maintenance known as spring cleaning. I notice people often forget to add an important item to their to-do list: service the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system (HVAC). Although your HVAC system is generally out of sight and out of mind, this essential part of your home is critical to daily comfort. Showing your unit a little TLC this spring is a great way to save money and prevent extensive HVAC woes later on. Keeping your unit serviced and in good condition will increase its longevity and promote efficiency, translating to fewer system repairs and lower utility bills. Regular spring HVAC maintenance also prepares you for a comfortable transition into summer. Your system has been working overtime to heat your home during a harsh winter, but a quick tune up will reveal any necessary repairs and will ensure you enjoy uninterrupted cool air and humidity control in the coming months. If you plan on selling your home this spring, potential buyers will appreciate that your HVAC system is well-maintained and therefore less likely to be replaced or in need of repair in the near future. Remember that ignoring HVAC issues such as poor circulation or an improperly calibrated thermostat could also negatively affect a future showing. A little HVAC maintenance goes a long way, so be sure to add these items to your spring cleaning checklist: Frequent Filter Checks Dirty filters impede air flow and force your HVAC to work harder, reducing the system’s efficiency. Regularly changing your HVAC air filter is a simple but effective way to prolong the life of your system and improve the air quality in your home. Now is the time to purchase a fresh filter and monitor it monthly as summer approaches. At a minimum, change the filter every three months. Give Outdoor Units Room to Breathe Leaves, overgrown vegetation and other debris may be covering your HVAC’s outdoor unit, often known as the condenser. While you’re outside sprucing up the lawn and flower beds, try to the trim foliage near your unit and clear out any other obstructions. Create at least two or three feet of open space around the unit to allow for continuous air circulation. Consider Technician Calling A It’s a good idea to call in the experts once or twice a year. A licensed HVAC company will make certain your cooling system is operating at its highest possible efficiency. Your technician will complete a coil cleaning, examine condensation lines and drains, test refrigerant levels and more. Prices range from $70 to $200 for a qualified technician. Often times, repairs will be cheaper before companies receive a rush of spring service calls. As the temperature warms up and your healthy HVAC system cools down your home, you’ll be ready to tackle your other spring cleaning and maintenance to-dos – all from the comfort of your air conditioned home!

MTA buses to feature Poetry in Motion Student-written poetry and song lyrics will be featured on Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) vehicles across Davidson county in conjunction with Nashville hosting the 2014 NCAA Women’s Final Four on April 6-8 at the Bridgestone Arena. Created in 1992 by the Poetry Society of America, Poetry in Motion® was designed to showcase classic and contemporary poetry in public transit vehicles. The program has appeared in more than 30 cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C., and made its debut on Nashville MTA vehicles in 2012. “Poetry in Motion® allows another group of Nashville artists to share their special talents across the county and with all the visitors who will attend the Women’s Final Four. It is an honor to showcase these talented young students as part of the city’s public art program,” said Jennifer Cole, executive director of the Metro Nashville Arts Commission. The Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum and Southern Word featured artist-led residence workshops at seven middle schools: Brick Church Middle School, Cameron Middle School, Isaiah T. Creswell Middle Arts Magnet School, Jere Baxter Middle School, John Early Museum Magnet Middle School, John Trotwood Moore Middle School, Martin Luther King Jr. Academic Magnet and a workshop in the Taylor Swift Education Center at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Sixteen students were selected as finalists to have their poems and lyrics displayed in the advertising section inside MTA buses during April, which is National Poetry Month. Nossi College of Art student Hannah Burchard won a competition to design the 2014 marketing poster.

From Page One sung with the group since its inception in 1963. The program kicks off a twomonth stretch for the Chorus that features three events in Nashville and a visiting performance in Cincinnati, Ohio, as well. “Each year the Voices of Spring concert provides an opportunity to feature an entire program of choral masterpieces, and for this special 50th anniversary season, I wanted to select a repertoire that highlights the talent and flexibility of this group,” said Corcoran. “This program is full of variety, showcasing not only the technical achievements and range of the Chorus, but also their ability to connect with the audience emotionally and truly touch each listener.” The Chorus was formed by Nashville Symphony conductor Willis Page to perform Handel’s Messiah at War Memorial Auditorium. The all-volunteer ensemble is comprised of individuals from every part of the Middle Tennessee community and includes judges, lawyers, educators, professionals, servers and conductors. Of the group’s 205 current members, 12 have performed with the Chorus for at least 25 years. “It’s not about the longevity factor — the greatest music experience is being able to work with individuals together, regardless of the number of years, to produce these sounds that the masters created,” said Hatfield. “It started as approximately 60 community volunteers and has evolved into 150 dedicated musicians who have produced very inspiring, beautiful music. I am proud to be part of such a group,” continued Hatfield. Three weeks after the Voices of Spring concert, the Chorus will hold an open rehearsal and question-and-answer session at Schermerhorn Symphony Center on Monday, April 14, for local students as part of a new educational outreach initiative designed to cultivate a passion for choral music in young singers in Middle Tennessee. The group will then head north, joining the Cincinnati Symphony to perform Mahler’s Eighth Symphony on Saturday, May 17, during the Cincinnati May Festival, widely considered America’s premier choral festival. “It’s really a special program because all the focus is on the chorus. I’m excited for Nashville to experience Rachmaninoff,” said Corcoran.

Hood, a native of Charlotte, N.C., received his college degree from North Carolina A&T State University. Currently, he lives in Oakland, Calif., and is a professor at the University of California, Berkeley's Landscape Architecture and Environmental Design Department.

The adoption took place last week at the shelter on Harding Place. The last time MACC exceeded 1,000 adoptions in a program year was in 2008. MACC is on the way to a record-breaking year with nearly four months remaining in the 2014 program year. The 1000th adopted dog is named Rachel, a 5-year-old pit bull mix which is being adopted by Music City Mutts, one of MACC’s rescue partners. “We are thrilled to be able to work so closely with MACC," said Cara Aston, President of Music City Mutts. “We are excited to work together with MACC and look forward to achieving great things with this partnership.” The addition of new rescue partners like Music City Mutts, and the creation of innovative programming has helped lead to a remarkable year for MACC. “We have been working diligently to partner with rescue groups in Nashville and surrounding counties,” said Rebecca Morris, spokesman Metro Animal Care and Control. “With the support of these partners, we will continue to work every day to find loving 'forever homes' for the homeless animals of Nashville.” MACC has also launched a dedicated social media channel, improved the photos of the animals available for adoption and offered discounts to drive public adoptions.

John Jay Hooker, twice the gubernatorial nominee of the Tennessee Democratic Party, has triple the number of signatures needed to run on his petition to run as an independent. He’ll file this week to appear on the independent primary ballot on Thursday, August 7. Gov. Bill Haslam will presumably be the Republican nominee. All is quiet from the Democratic Party unless unsuc- restaurant ESTABLISHED 1974 cessful 2012 Senate nominee Mark E. Clayton decides to run for governor. Hooker makes no secret that running as an Independent gives him the power of the podium to urge voters to defeat the judicial retention election of appellate judges. A proposed judicial retention constitutional amendment goes before voters Tuesday, Nov. 4. Tennessee’s current merit selection and retention elections could be replaced with a plan allowing gubernatorial appointment of appellate judges with legislative confirmation then retention elections to follow. Most Tennessee appellate judges will be up for a “yes-no” retention election Thursday, Aug. 7. Voters may select whether or not to keep each judge in office. The appellate benches are those on the Court of Appeals, the Court of Criminal Appeals and the Tennessee Supreme Court. Only one appellate judge, Penny Jo White, has ever been denied retention. One more time! Fate Thomas, Jr.’s Not So Sure Shot Rabbit Supper, revival edition, is set for Thursday, April 3.

All other recyclables should be taken to a local convenience center. “We began Safety Days last year and it was a great success. We look forward to another productive day this Saturday,” Sheriff Daron Hall said. “It’s a great chance for our employee volunteers to reach out and give back to our neighbors and is also a fantastic opportunity for residents to safely dispose of many items they have probably been hanging onto because they just didn’t know what to do with them.” For more information, visit the DCSO website at www.sheriff.nashville.gov. lending and trust and estate planning. The bank anticipates breaking ground in the next few weeks, with construction tentatively scheduled for completion by the end of the year. Hillsboro High School picked up two major awards from the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) and Tennessee School Counselor Association (TSCA). Hillsboro is the second school in Tennessee and one of just a handful of schools in the country to ever earn the Recognized ASCA Model Program (RAMP) designation. This is an honor given only to exemplary counseling programs that reach every corner of school life and make datadriven decisions to improve education for all students. “This year’s RAMP honorees have shown their commitment to students and the school counseling profession,” said Jill Cook, assistant director and RAMP coordinator for ASCA. “This designation distinguishes these schools and encourages school counselors nationwide to continue to strive for success.” “We are so pleased with the work of the school counseling department at Hillsboro High School,” said Nicole Cobb, executive director of school counseling services for Metro Schools. “The counseling team is ensuring that all students have access to a rigorous academic experience that will prepare them academically, socially and emotionally for college and career. They help students plan for a bright and fulfilling future. They serve as a model not only for other Metro schools but schools across the state of Tennessee and the country.” For his support, Hillsboro assistant principal Craig Hammond is the Tennessee School Counselor Association’s (TSCA) statewide Principal of the Year. This is the first year TSCA has given this award, and Dr. Hammond earned it for his significant contributions to counseling at Hillsboro, as well as his support to recognize the importance of a comprehensive counseling program. “School counselors cannot perform their important work without the support of strong leadership from administration,” said TSCA President Beverly Anderson. “We were especially impressed with Dr. Hammond's vocal advocacy for counselors and counseling services, his leadership in gaining school-wide support to embrace counseling best practices, and his leadership, which helped Hillsboro High School earn the coveted RAMP status. Hillsboro Executive Principal Dr. Terry Shrader has won a prestigious award from the University of Tennessee. He is this year’s recipient of the William J. and Lucille H. Field Award in Support of Excellent in Tennessee Secondary School Leadership. When he formally receives the award at a ceremony next month, he will share his expertise on effective school leadership and lessons learned with University of Tennessee graduate students who are or are aspiring to be school leaders. State hosts financial literacy for teachers Teachers who attend a financial literacy summit at Lipscomb University on Saturday, March 22, will each receive a $50 gift card from Amazon. And one teacher will leave with an iPad2. However, all summit participants will also be getting something far more valuable: Financial literacy lessons that they can teach to their students and apply to their own lives. The free summit is being sponsored by the Tennessee Financial Literacy Commission, which is administered by the Tennessee Treasury Department. The commission is emphasizing the teaching of financial literacy skills to students at young ages so they will develop and follow good habits later in life. The summit, for teachers in kindergarten through eighth grades, will also stress the importance of reaching out to students’ parents so they, too, will develop good financial literacy skills and recognize the need to save for their children’s college education. Participating teachers will each receive a free financial literacy curriculum packet, valued at $65. Teachers who attend the summit may be eligible for professional education credits, if permitted by their school districts. “I encourage teachers in Nashville and surrounding areas to attend this summit,” State Treasurer David H. Lillard, Jr. said. “Research suggests that children’s minds are receptive to learning about financial literacy while they are very young. When they are learning about financial literacy in school, it may also help remind their parents about the importance of developing and practicing those skills. And the summit will also provide information teachers can use in their own lives.” The summit will be held at the Ezell Center on Lipscomb’s campus. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. and the summit will last between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Lunch and free parking will be provided to participants. To register online, teachers can visit www.tnflc.com.

Genuine Banking. Genuine Advice. Genuine Offers. Scam artists support a multibillion dollar business in the United States. Every year thousands of consumers lose their hard-earned money to these thieves. “Tennesseans need to be very critical of anyone promising a ‘too good to be true’ prize, offer or investment,” says Department of Commerce and Insurance Deputy Commissioner and Acting Consumer Affairs Director Steve Majchrzak. “Don’t ever share your Social Security number or banking information over the phone and always do your research before making any kind of payment.” The Division of Consumer Affairs asks Tennesseans to be aware of the following common telemarketing scams: • Travel Packages Be wary of “free” or “low cost” vacations that can end up costing a bundle in hidden fees. The total cost may run two to three times more than what you expected to pay. In worst-case scenarios, some “bargain” vacations may not happen at all. • Investments Consumers GENUINE OFFERS CHOOSE YOUR TERM. ENJOY YOUR RATE.

These can include movie or cable television production deals, internet gambling, rare coins, art, or other “investment opportunities.” Call the Tennessee Securities Division at 615-7412947 to ensure that the investor you are working with is fully licensed. • Charities Con artists may identify themselves as representatives of a notable charity, but while asking for a donation they avoid discussing ways to verify their authenticity, or they may use names that sound similar to well-known charitable organizations or even law enforcement agencies. Always ask for a phone number to call the representative back and call the charity’s home office to verify the individual’s claims before making a donation by phone. • Reloading Scams If you buy into any of the above scams, you are likely to be called again by someone promising to get your money back.

March 20, 2014, The News- Page 13 On suspicion of selling illegal substance Nuisance statute enables raids and closures of area markets Metro police padlocking the door on one of three markets shut down on Monday. - photos by Andrew Coffman Smith Bill Swart Staff Writer Three Nashville convenience markets were shut down on Monday, March 17, after being raided by police on suspicion of selling beverages that contain a banned substance called Mitragynine. Market Discount Tobacco & Beer at the Robinson Road and Gallatin Pike North locations as well as Litton’s Corner Market, also on Gallatin Pike, were those raided and closed Monday. Undercover police officers from the Specialized Investigations Division and Madison Precinct along with analysis by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation determined that these markets were selling “party shots” or “relaxation shots” that contained the banned substance Mitragynine Mitragynine is a substance that was declared illegal by the Tennessee legislature in 2013. The banned substance mimics the effects of opiates and mari- juana, which can range from pain relief to feelings of intense euphoria. The drug has also been found to cause side effects such as nausea, dizziness, hallucinations and delusions. These beverages were sold under names such as “Viva Zen” and “Mr. Smiley Euphoria Party Shot” and cost approximately $10 per bottle. Pursuant to a court order by Judge Steve Dozier the markets were raided and shut down. The owners of the stores will appear in court later this month, and their markets will remain closed until at least that time. The hope of officials is that these raids and closings will be a strong message to other stores in the area that are electing to carry and sell these types of products. “We believe these liquids to be inherently dangerous and a threat to the health and safety of this community,” Police Chief Steve Anderson said. District Attorney General Torry Johnson, left, Police Chief Steve Anderson, and state Sen. Mae Beavers (R-Mt. Juliet) speak about the collaborative effort that lead to Mondayʼs arrests. “Market owners who choose to deal in these products should see today as yet another indication that we are very serious about keeping these liquids off the streets.” According to Anderson, the police department was made aware of the sale of these possibly illegal and harmful substances by students of a nearby school and their parents. Some students had apparently bought the illegal substance and experienced adverse effects. “I think it does show that this is a team effort,” District Attorney General Torry Johnson said. “It takes the legislator to give law enforcement the tools. It takes the Metro Police department to take the information they receive from the public and build an investigation. Then it takes our office to take that material and go to court using to our advantage the public nuisance statute.” The nuisance statute was signed into law by Gov. Bill Haslam last year. It “designates any place in which the sale or possession with intent to sell of drug paraphernalia is carried on or permitted as a nuisance.” “In past years we would make an arrest for selling something like this illegally and it would be the clerk. Just some young man or woman trying to make a living and basically they were sacrificed while the owner kept in business,” Chief Johnson said. The nuisance statute gives law enforcement and the district attorney’s office the ability to hold the actual negligent party responsible as well as closing a store or establishment that may be harmful to a community. “We are close to a school today so you can see how convenient it was for children to walk across the street to get some of these drugs. It is just good to see the process in action,” said state Sen. Mae Beavers (R-Mt. Juliet) on Monday. Beavers was a proponent of last year’s nuisance legislation. Monday’s arrests and closures are not the end of this problem. Synthetic drugs have been an issue in the state of Tennessee for many years. According to Beavers there are new and different synthetic drugs appearing each year that the legislators must address. Anderson said that there are most likely other stores in the area that are selling beverages with the banned substance Mitragynine as an ingredient. He also sends a warning to those selling these substances that they are very likely already on law enforcement's radar. Start a New Chapter In your Life... at The St. Paul.

Yes In an article recorded in CNN Money, the writer discussed the oldest problem on earth. Cain killed his brother, Abel. When asked where Abel was, he asked, “Am I my brother’s keeper?” In other words, he denied knowing where Abel was. That was just an easy way to lie. Now, CNN Money addressed taxpayers’ propensity to cheat on taxes. Most people are honest and would not consider “bare-faced lying.” However, there is always the problem of rationalization. Look at the graphic from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. Notice the fraud triangle. Pressure is an unshared need like, spending too much money on gambling, extramarital involvement or lack of funds to support one’s lifestyle. Rationalization is self explanatory; convincing oneself that theft can be paid back, or onthe-job theft can be justified because “I am worth more than I am being paid.” The final part of the triangle is the most problematic. Opportunity is the ability to steal, defraud or cheat. Court ...

Typical sentencing practices include community service and oral or written apologies. The Tennessee Youth Court Now to the subject at hand. Most people hate paying taxes. It has been that way throughout history. Even the very honest people may often fanaticize about shaving their tax bills. Luckily, the vast majority of Americans say cheating on taxes is unacceptable, but many think it's perfectly fine to under-report income, claim bogus deductions and inflate credits. In a poll asking if the respondents would cheat or if they had been guilty of cheating on their tax returns, statistically, 12 percent of respondents answered "a little here and there" or "as much as possible." The results were the result of polling 1,000 people. The results were up slightly from 11 percent in 2012 and up from a low of 9% in 2008. Is cheating becoming easier? Is there something causing the increase? Perhaps it is the “tone at the top.” People believe if the leaders of the country and management of large corporations can lie, cheat and steal without consequence and if governmental leaders are often people of dubious integriProgram is a youth-driven delinquency prevention/intervention program that has spread to 16 communities throughout Tennessee. Ninetythree percent of the youth participating in the program do not re-offend. The Tennessee Youth Court Program is an initiative of the Tennessee Bar Association with funding from the State of Tennessee. “Youth court offers a tremendous teaching environment for adolescents,” said Juvenile Court Judge Sophia Brown Crawford. “It also demonstrates that there is accountability for those who are facing minor offenses.” Contact Emily Ledbetter at 615-298-1500 or email [email protected]. Send information and news tips and “What’s Wrong With This Picture?” to [email protected] ty, why send our hard-earned money to them to be wasted. Also, corresponding with an increase in cheating, the survey found that opinions about the Internal Revenue Service have grown more negative, with an increasing number of people saying the agency devotes too many resources to enforcement instead of consumer services. Recently, a radio personality said, “The IRS is an agency that people love to hate.” Only 39 percent of taxpayers feel the IRS "maintains a proper balance between its enforcement and service programs." And while most respondents said they support extra funding for the IRS, that percentage slipped from 67% in 2012 to 59% in 2013. Just remember, if you steal from the government, you are stealing from your fellow citizens. What kind of world would this be if we were to throw discretion to the wind and satisfy our own selfish desires? Beware, that philosophy seems to be gathering acceptance.

Page 16- The News, March 20, 2014 Cool Springs’ progress paved over paradise Once upon a time there was this beautiful springhouse on a sweet stream that wound its way through a beautiful farm just north of the city of Franklin, Tenn. Then came the developers and they saw the springhouse and stream and they built a huge mall beside it, and they named it after the stream and the springhouse, and they called it Cool Springs. And the developers forgot about the little springhouse and the woods slowly took it over. The once beautiful stream became full of trash and garbage from all the people that passed by, interested only in their shopping trip. Slowly, the stream began to die and the little springhouse that kept milk and vegetables so We have added an e-mail address for Ticked Off! Send your comments to [email protected] cool for so long in the 1800s was soon only to be a memory. How sad for the little springhouse; how pitiful the little stream became; how sad for the people that had been too busy to notice or care until it became too late.

They make it look as if being in the army is a privilege and that all people do there is learn how to use cool computers and high-tech gadgets. In actuality, being in the military means getting shot, taking orders from unpleasant people with bad breath, doing a thousand pushups a day and peeling potatoes.You also get the wonderful opportunity to make new enemies and to kill your fellow man. I know the military does some great work and that some soldiers are true American heroes, and we all owe them a debt of gratitude. The military needs to be more truthful in its advertising and show what it’s really like for the poor rubes who enlist. Fox News tells the truth You would be better off yourself if you listened to Fox News. They’re not telling lies. They are telling exactly what they know is true. What a horrible president that we have in this country right now. He is doing nothing good for our United States. He is against the United States. If you don’t believe me, then just wait and see. “Amp up the Amp” I strongly oppose state government intervention into local infrastructure projects. Requiring approval from the General Assembly for local transit projects limits flexibility, hurts a city’s ability to grow and prosper and increases the size of government. SB 2243/HB 2156 unfairly singles out Davidson County and is an outright effort by state legislators to silence thousands of Nashvillians by limiting our future transit options. AMP hater not alone I would like to ease that person’s mind who asked why more people were not concerned about the AMP. To ease his mind — we are upset, 75 percent of us. There are only two words to describe it and they are — it stinks. All I see is more congestion and more taxes. NES tree trimming I’m Ticked Off at Nashville Electric Service’s tree trimming. I see it as an abrogation of my rights and destruction of New, Like New and Gently Pre-Owned The Leader in Consignment Furniture www.finderskeeperstn.com my private property. And I’ve been told by armed policemen, accompanying the cutting crews from the power company, and representatives of the power company that have threatened to cut other things down and make my life miserable in general. It’s taken about a month of my time to try to get some relief. I’ve made 2,180 phone calls to lawyers, representatives, government departments and TV stations; and I’ve gotten literally nowhere. I can’t take it to a civil court, because I have no rights. And nobody seems to care or want to do anything about it. Boarded and broken I want to mention the Donelson area on Elm Hill Pike. There are broken fences and abandoned houses. We have spent two years there, and the same houses are all boarded up with crack addicts going in and out between Bell Road and Donelson Pike. Let’s clean it up. That’s what our councilman should be looking at. Hill Center expansion So now the Hill Center in Green Hills is expanding with a totally new section anchored by a Pottery Barn. The Bank of America branch will relocate to Richard Jones Rd. and the current bank will be demolished to make room for the expanded Hill Center. It's ironic that we heard so many protests about the impact of the Southern Land Tower but none about this or the massive expansion of The Mall at Green Hills with a new Dillard's and another monster parking deck.

Even worse, people jaywalk while wearing dark clothing — making them next to impossible to see. It would be quite easy to hit someone. It is so scary that I avoid Church Street when working a weekend night! Illegal left turns For many years, drivers were directed to make a right turn only when entering Charlotte Pike between Bojangles and Jim and Nicks. Months ago, a motorcyclist was killed because another driver made an illegal left turn. Shortly after that, the road was painted directing a right turn only and there are several signs that drivers are still ignoring by making a left turn onto Charlotte Pike. Drivers, picture a loved one being struck by a wrong way driver!! Popularity equals right I am Ticked Off at people who have probably never watched Fox News and yet opine and viciously complain as if they know of what they speak. If you watch more than cartoons or the childish MSNBC on TV and read more than sports or comics and USA Today, you might find out that Fox News has more viewers than all the other cable news stations combined. Do you think maybe those people know something you don't? Not one accusation you mentioned other than an educated disagreement with liberal politics has ever been stated on Fox News. Take that from an ardent Fox News listener who also goes to the gym, theaters and is a prolific reader. No future for the old I simply do not see how these senior citizens that live in the increasingly expensive senior communities can pay any more in Fee Simple monies. The economy is terrible and most retirees have lost a great deal of money over the last few years. My personal income dropped 50 percent for the year 2013. This does not include the loss of monies to my IRA and CDs earning pennies of interest in the month of December, because the interest went down 50 percent. Last week, the news announced that we could expect an increase in the prices of gasoline and all produce and milk at the grocery stores. We have received notices from the utilities that they are going to increase in costs too. The president has asked for further increases in taxes and seniors will probably take a cut in their Social Security checks. What are seniors to do and how are we to continue to eat and pay our bills for the necessities of life? No money for pleasure, vacations or the hope of providing a small inheritance for our families. Used tire dumping I am so Ticked Off about the person who has picked my street in Hermitage to dump his old, worn-out tires. He does this in the dead of night to escape detection. I counted 17 in one mile. To paraphrase Little Jimmy Dickens, May the Bird Of Paradise fly up your nose.

Have done: The buffaloes at Hillsboro and Tyne. Tried to get their own police force. Tried to get their own court system. Gave Forest Hills money to Warner Parks. Built an unneeded and underused city hall. Gave away $100,000 to the 'save Kellytown dig. Haven't done: Fund home garbage collection. Pick up litter along Forest Hills’ streets. Respond to water easement problems. Plan for a possible post-hall tax loss totalling 60 percent of the budget. These examples do not reflect proper commitment and concern for the residents of Forest Hills and for the longterm financial health of the city. The mayor and all commissioners who have not protested against this conduct of city business should resign.

Compton, Marjorie Ann Yaple, 86, of Nashville, died on Saturday, March 15. Compton was born in Sandusky, Ohio on April 10, 1928. She studied English Literature, Theater, and Debate at The College of Wooster and took her theater director's advice and accepted a job teaching English, Forensics, and Theater at Hanover College. Soon, however, Compton Compton moved to New Haven, Conn., after marrying John Compton who was finishing his philosophy graduate work at Yale. There she worked in the Institute of Far Eastern Languages where she made connections in the ChineseAmerican community. After moving to Nashville for her husband’s job at Vanderbilt, she raised three children: Elizabeth Holly Compton Interlandi (Nashville), Catherine Marchus Compton Swanson (Lexington, Mass.), and John Arthur Compton (Eagle, Idaho). Compton became involved in several Vanderbilt women's groups. Compton dedicated much of her life to helping others. There was a long line of teenagers, graduate students, and relatives who sat on her kitchen stool and told her all their troubles. In 1972, having once considered a career in Social Work, she began a five-year period volunteering on the Board of directors for Family and Children's Service, finishing the last year as its president. She was then hired as part of the administrative team and soon became full-time director of administration, a position she held for 15 years. Compton was known for her wild flower and nutritional expertise, literary language tutorials, a piercing wit, and the ability to manage people, including her boss and her husband. She was especially proud of her four granddaughters, Nina Marie Interlandi Bell, Holly Catherine Interlandi, Mary Lindsay Interlandi, and Lisa Rachelle Christensen and of her great-grandson, Samuel Lindsey Bell.

The Frist Gala Patron Party was held to benefit the Frist Center for the Visual Arts at the center, where everyone enjoyed viewing the exhibition Looking East: Western Artists and the Allure of Japan, which runs through May 11. Gala patrons enjoyed cocktails in the lobby, a private tour of the exhibit and a seated dinner in the auditorium. The chairs worked with the Japanese consulate to bring an Asian atmosphere into all aspects of the evening. While they enjoyed their meal, guests witnessed an authentic tea ceremony and ikebana flower arranging from the Land of the Rising Sun. Kristen Winston Catering’s classic Japanese menu, served on bright Japanese red cloths, offered a deconstructed spicy lobster roll with sushi rice, flying fish roe and daikon sprouts, Asian-glazed short ribs of beef, Thai basil potato puree, baby bok choy and shitakes with red curry sauce. Individual dark chocolate cakes were served for dessert with warm chocolate sauce, green tea ice cream and berries. Music by Japanese Koto players added to the ambiance of the evening.

Call 298-1500 The National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Mid South Chapter held its 12th Annual Women Against MS Luncheon at Hillwood Country Club. The event’s honorary chair was Denise Smith and Clarksville City Mayor Kim McMillan was the keynote speaker. McMillan was diagnosed with MS in 2011 and shared her personal story. Women are affected by MS twice as often as men, and this event gives women the opportunity to support other women in our community in the fight against MS. Julie Roberts, a country music artist battling MS, per- formed several songs from her new album. Everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch comprised of sliced chicken breast and mixed greens. Numerous purveyors donated beautiful and yummy cakes which were used as centerpieces and door prizes. All proceeds from the event go toward funding for local client programs and national research to help find the cause and cure for MS. More than 400,000 people have been diagnosed with MS nationally, and the Mid South Chapter supports more than 8,800 of those patients and their families. Multiple Sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information within the brain. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. Made up of a 50-state network, the National MS Society is a driving force of research and treatment to stop disease activity and progression, restore function lost to MS and end the devastating effects of MS for good. The WAMS committee included: Leslie Ballard, Mary Earthman, Gail Kerr, Connie Valentine, and Heather Wright. Luncheon: Andrea Lindsley, Heather Wright, Emcee Demetria Kalodimos, and Honorary Chair Denise Smith. Luncheon: Phyllis Hogan, Tara Alford, Beth Alexander, and Tori Wimberly. Luncheon: Sarah Krauer, Lisa Wyn, Abby Mullen, and Elizabeth Destafney.
