MILESTONE – PAGE 8 VOLUME 21 Newest member brings experience to School Board By Joey Garrison Staff Writer A woman with 35 years of education experience in Nashville, including a stint as assistant to former Director of Schools Dr. Pedro Garcia, is the newest school board member. At last week’s Metro Council meeting, Kay Simmons easily defeated seven others vying to replace the departed Alan Coverstone, who left his seat in June to head a charter schools position within Metro Nashville Public Schools. Simmons, who lives in the Richland neighborhood, is now the board representative for parts of West Nashville and Bellevue after earning 29 of 38 council votes to defeat Elizabeth Merkel, who took the remaining 9 votes. Simmons plans on campaigning for the job next year when her term expires. “I really feel honored that the Council had the confidence NEWS GREEN HILLS NUMBER 31 JULY 30, 2009 Home sales looking better in Nashville and the nation Real estate professionals cautiously optimistic Kay Simmons to nominate me,” Simmons said. “I’ve spent a lot of time in education.

At the heart of that plan is the Hillsboro Road-Green Hills Resource Team, which District 34 Councilman Carter Todd calls a sort of A-team. “Everybody says you can’t solve anything in Green Hills because it’s too overbuilt, but you actually have 20 people PATRIOTISM – PAGE 13 here who are all (working toward solutions),” Todd said. “You’ve got enough decision-makers all meeting together at once now.” Team members include representatives from several Metro departments (Public Works, Planning Department, Transit Authority, Mayor’s Office, ADA Compliance Division, the Council), the West Area Business Council, The Green Hills Action Partners, Tennessee Depart- See Resource on Page 10 E-MAIL [email protected] By Joey Garrison Staff Writer Realtors nationwide declared the start of a housing recovery last week following news existing-home sales rose by 3.6 percent in June, a third consecutive month of growth. Optimism is high in Nashville as well, but it’s still unclear whether positive numbers represent a true turnaround or just a seasonal spike. “You’re in a period where sales are going to be up because it’s typically the buying season,” said Greater Nashville Association of Realtors President Mike Nichols. “So, I don’t want to paint a foggy picture that we’re in recovery, it’s cyclical, anyway. But any time numbers are going in the right direction, we’re all happy about that.” In Davidson County, 2,091 homes were sold last month, up Zeitlin Edmondson from 1,783 houses in May, an 8.5 percent increase. The month marked the first time closings exceeded 2,000 since September. The number of June closings, however, are down 19.2 percent from the number recorded a year ago. “We normally anticipate that at this time of year houses will be selling,” said Molly Edmondson of Fridrich & Clark Realty. “We’re enjoying a normal response to the marketplace is what I would say.” Nichols Lipman But Laura Baugh of Worth Properties believes this month’s bump is more than just the typical real estate trend. “The reason I don’t necessarily think it’s seasonal is because normally we see our market surge in the early/late spring period,” she said. “And that didn’t happen.” Figures began dipping last fall in part because of the disappearance of subprime bor- See Housing on Page 2 Arts community to showcase glass sculptor By Joey Garrison Staff Writer Next year, Nashville could be mistaken for “Chihuly-ville.” So say leaders from three Nashville art institutes set to showcase the work of acclaimed glass sculptor Dale Chihuly, known for his dramatic and colorful creations found in prestigious settings across the world.

S h i rl e y Zeitlin, C E O o f Z e i t l i n Realty, said Nashville’s real estate market has generally perfor med better than of that Baugh other cities. “We went into the slowdown later than a lot of other states ... and other areas around the country,” she said. “Normally we come out a little sooner.” Confidence appears to have picked up among first-time buyers, who have at least momentarily filled the void and perhaps initiated a turnaround. Driving the movement, most Realtors say, is the Federal Housing Tax Credit for FirstTime Buyers, which authorizes up to $8,000 to individuals making their first home purchase. The revised tax credit is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, the stimulus package pushed by President Barack Obama and passed by Congress in January. “It’s been huge,” said Richard Courtney of Fridrich & Clark Realty. “It came out last summer and it was $7,500 and it didn’t really have much of an effect … but this $8,000 tax credit, people are really utilizing it.” While the federal tax credit may receive the most buzz, several other first-time buyer programs are available. Nashville-based nonprofit, The Housing Fund, seeks to match those programs with potential homebuyers. The organization expects to help some 250 people buy houses this year. “Depending on the income level, there’s some federal funds we can lend at zero percent interest that aren’t due back into you sell your house,” said Loretta Owens, executive director of The Housing Fund. “It utilizes some of the federal funds that come to Davidson County.” An estimated 850 Middle Tennesseans, mostly first-time buyers, attended Mayor Karl Dean’s Housing Fair Sunday at the Sommet Center. Many were folks like Delores Fentress, who came to look at housing options Realtor Richard Courtney and GNAR President Mike Nichols, seen here at the Mayor’s Housing Fair, say the $8,000 federal tax credit for first-time buyers has had a huge impact. Photos by Joey Garrison with her daughter, a would-be first-time homeowner. “The time just seems right to buy,” Fentress said. Courtney, who served as GNAR president in 2007, said the housing market’s momentum began with these types of first-time buyers before “trickling up” to buyers who are purchasing houses priced at $1 million-plus. “We’re seeing that all this Mr. Whiskers Across from Target at 31 White Bridge Rd. • 615-353-0094 ABSOLUT activity down here has helped fuel and spawn activity throughout the price range,” he said. A national report released Tuesday by Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed modest improvements in home prices for the fourth consecutive month. Despite the slight resurgence, the median prices of Nashville homes has actually slipped to $155,000 from $168,000 in June a year ago. “We haven’t had as many upper level sales as we have lower level sales,” said Larry Lipman, president of the Lipman Group, adding his group is selling more homes priced below $400,000. Lipman, who believes things actually “grow from the top down,” said the tax credit should have been larger and applied to all homebuyers. “Perhaps then, the higherend homes would have sold quicker than they have,” he said. Realtors say they have reasons to believe progress will continue. “Nashville has always felt some sense of optimism,” Lipman said. “We were never hit as hard as some of the other areas.” A housing market in recovery or not, Realtors say now is the ideal time to purchase. “It’s a great time to buy,” said Jody Derrick, affiliate broker at HND Homes. “Interest rates are low, prices are somewhat depressed and inventory is great. “The biggest thing is, don’t be afraid,” he said. 1.75L $29.99 W hi Suppl le ie Last s ESTANCIA CHARD - 750ML $9.99 CAKEBREAD CAB - 750ML $69.99 COMPARE @ $79.99 DOWN UNDER CHARD - 750ML BY THE CASE $4.99 EACH CAVIT PINOT GRIGIO - 1.5L $12.99 Jody Derrick, affiliate broker at HND Homes, talks with Tom Prichard and daughter Marie, as she considers buying her first home Sunday at the Mayor’s Housing Fair.

Father Ryan to dedicate Carell Athletic Complex on August 8 Father Ryan will dedicate the Jim Carell Alumni Athletic Complex on Saturday, August 8, in a Saturday Night Lights celebration of liturgy and history saluting the school’s entire community. The event will run from 4:30 to 9 p.m. with Bishop David Choby, class of ’65, celebrating Mass at 4:30 p.m. in the Catignani-Drennan Fieldhouse and blessing the new complex. He will be joined by Mayor Karl Dean, Father Ryan President Jim McIntyre, Principal Paul Davis, and other individuals for the placement of the time capsule in the new touchstone monument, capped off by the ribboncutting ceremony. The public will be able to tour the facility and enjoy free food, music, games and more. The Jim Carell Alumni Athletic Complex is the first oncampus athletic facility in the school’s 84-year history. The complex includes a stadium, named for Fr. Charley Giacosa, with the latest in artificial field turf technology, a new track and major renovations to the baseball, softball and practice fields. Carell, for whom the athletic complex is named, donated $2 million in January 2008 to initiate the project with the challenge that required the Father Ryan community to contribute $2 million in additional funds. Fr. Giacosa donated more than $1 million as part of his estate and other Father Ryan alumni and friends have responded to the challenge, making the complex’s construction possible. “We are excited and proud to finally showcase the Jim Carell Alumni Athletic Complex,” said Jim McIntyre, president. “The entire Ryan community has waited a long time for this moment. The complex is an outstanding athletic venue for our students and fans. And it’s a source for celebrating Ryan’s heritage across several generations of students, parents, alumni, faculty and staff. I am particularly grateful to Mr. Carell for his generosity, leadership and energy and to Father G and his family for their support and devotion. The generosity of all of our donors has helped make a dream come true and for this, we are extremely grateful.” Carell is a 1954 alumnus of Ryan and is also president of Achiever Development Corporation, chairman of CareAll Home Care Services and president of CareAll Management Inc.

Page 4- The News, July 30, 2009 84 Tennessee markets to celebrate 10th National Farmers Market Week August 2 through August 8 marks the 10th annual National Farmers Market Week, and Tennessee may serve as the heart of the national celebration, according to the Tennessee Department of Agriculture. There are approximately 84 farmers markets currently in operation across the state with more “sprouting” up all the time. When the supermarket concept first caught on in the 1930’s, consumers got the opportunity to buy nearly every food item needed for the week in a single stop. Traditional farmers markets seemed destined to go the way of ice boxes and crankstart automobiles. Thanks to ever-increasing interest in local, fresh and trackable foods, farmers markets started cranking back up in the last decade, enjoying a major upsurge in popularity. Revitalized, bustling markets are now more than a mere quick stop to pick up a few ears of corn or a basket of peaches. The current incarnation of farmers markets, filled with seasonal farm products, is now seen as an anticipated activity and enriching experience. This affordable fun feeds not only local bellies but a national nostalgia for simpler times. Larger farmers markets offer weekend festivals featuring a particular product with activities aimed at pleasing a range of age categories. Depending on the place or the day, a local farmers market may include a quiet tailgate chat with a farmer in overalls about how weather is affecting a crop, or a party atmosphere with farm-related events and music. Many markets also have farm-direct items beyond produce: jams and jellies, farmdirect meats, eggs, dairy products, honey and sorghum are all typical market fare. Larger markets offer a choice between conventionally or organically grown, and meats raised and produced according to exacting religious requirements, like Hallal lamb and goat. Whether indoor or outdoor, humble or hip, however, all farmers markets have in common the goal of placing local growers and makers of food in direct contact with the people who eat those products. Farmers markets give customers the opportunity to meet and get to know the person who provides their food. People who buy straight from the farmer can find out how those products are grown, when they were picked, and the area where the farmer lives. It’s great for the farmers, too, who get to hear from their customers what they’re looking for – a particular pepper, a certain heirloom tomato – so they can start growing those items and be even more competitive, more quickly. Many of those who would like to eat more locally and seasonally are so removed from farm life and local crop seasons that time spent at a farmers market becomes an education about what grows when. Once a customer knows a crop’s season – for instance, strawberries in spring, tomatoes in July, sweet potatoes in October – that person will know a container of strawberries in December could not possibly be local.

J A K 3 attaches phosphates to proteins that are related to the norDavé mal function of the human immune system. Babies born without JAK3 do not make special immune system T cells and typically die within one or two years from infections. JAK3 mutations also have been linked to several types of leukemia and lymphoma. Davé and other researchers have already discovered JAK3 mutations that are implicated in Adult T-cell Leukemia/ Lymphoma (ATLL).

July 30, 2009, The News, Page 7 Page 8- The News, July 30, 2009 At age 100, Dr. Moore looks at 75 years in ministry as ʻgreat journeyʼ By Frances Meeker Dr. Farris F. Moore, a former district superintendent of the Nashville District of the United Methodist Church who celebrated his 100th birthday July 21, has been preaching for 75 years. “It has been a great journey,” he told a packed sanctuary at First United Methodist Church in Springfield. Moore and the Rev. Jeff W. Fryer, 87, two native sons of Robertson County, were honored at the historic Springfield church on July 19. Fryer preached at the 9 a.m. service and Moore at 11 a.m. Both ministers have served churches in Nashville and throughout Middle Tennessee. Supported by a walker, Moore stood throughout his Former Nashville district superintendent honored along with colleague, the Rev. Jeff W. Fryer. Both served congregations throughout the Nashville area address to the congregation, speaking in a strong voice and without notes. He spoke from the depths of his faith and experience. He told about his first ministerial appointment in 1935 to the Crossville and Sparta circuit at a salary of $435 a year. “Through the years I served every type of church,” he said. “If I could go back, I would do the same thing again.” One of the hymns sung in the service, all of which were favorites of Moore, was “I’ll Go Where You Want Me To Go.” Moore and Fryer returned to Robertson County when they retired, Moore in 1980 and Fryer in 1988. Fryer was pastor of Springfield First from 1985 until his retirement. Both ministers have remained active members of the Springfield church. Karen Shoemaker, who led the brief Children’s Chat during the service, asked the children how old they were. The answers ranged from 5 to 10 or 11. She then told them that, “Brother Moore is celebrating his 100th birthday,” and told the children that “no matter how old you are God has something you can do for Him.” Springfield First, which was The Rev.

Photo by Joey Garrison Special Education panel sees hope, room for improvement By Joey Garrison Staff Writer A committee organized to find recommendations to improve special education in Metro schools says improvements have been made, but inclusive practices are not fully embraced. Mayor Karl Dean’s Advisory Council on Special Education released a second report last week, a year after offering an initial list of ways Metro Nashville Public Schools can offer better special education services. In that time, the group monitored progress, suggested 10 new recommendations and found reason for optimism. “There is now real hope, the parents I talk to everyday feel it, that this district is going to become a district where all children regardless of their disabilities are given a quality education,” said Wendy Tucker, a cochair of the group and mother of a special-needs child. The first sign of improvement is the department’s new name, she said. Instead of MNPS’ department of special education, it’s now the department of exceptional education. “It has a nice little ring to it,” she said. A year ago, the council advised MNPS to include special-need students in general education classes for 80 percent of their day. The percentage was at a meager 36 percent. Now it’s at 48 percent. “That’s a significant increase,” Tucker said. “It should be 100 percent, but we are really moving in the right direction.” Training opportunities in inclusive practices are now available, a transformational leadership group has formed and instructors now show teachers how to include specialneeds kids in the classroom – all good signs, she said. One area in which MNPS could improve, the report finds, is by developing safer, more effective transportation policies for special-needs students. The report suggests the district install cameras in every bus; evaluate the feasibility of staffing all buses with monitors; adopt a bus notebook system, with seating charts, students needs, parent contact information and emergency plans; and launch a policy to equip substitute bus drivers with necessary information. Other recommendations put forth by the group include expanding after care opportunities for special-needs students, partnering with the community to offer special-needs children greater opportunities and developing programs to help special-needs children transition out of high school. “Nothing that I would be involved in as mayor would make me prouder than this city having the best transition services for children with special needs,” Dean said. “When you look at our city, with the great universities, the great hospitals, the great hospitality industry … we could be the national leader,” he said. “Perhaps this is one area we should focus on and say, ‘We’re going to knock this one out of the park.’” Page 10- The News, July 30, 2009 Simmons ...

I’ve been somewhat cautious about charter schools because I believe they’re not all equal, and I believe strongly every charter school has to be examined on its own merits.’ Simmons, 60, said she was very fortunate to work with Garcia, having “learned a lot” in her role. She said she stepped down following Garcia’s resignation because she felt her position should be filled by the new director of schools. Prior to serving in the Garcia administration, Simmons worked as the first executive director for the Nashville Alliance for Public Education, a nonprofit that raises funds from the private sector for MNPS. “When it began, I told the board, I was really interested to see if we could make it work,” she said. At that time there were no contributors and no monies raised. When I left, we had raised over $12 million through 1,000 people.” Like Coverstone, who worked as academic dean at Montgomery Bell Academy, Simmons also has a background in private schools, both as an employee and a parent. Simmons served briefly as interim headmaster of University School of Nashville, a private school, before becoming director of development at Vanderbilt Law School and later director of Institutional Advancement at MBA. “At any school you see effective ways of governing, effective ways of teaching, effective ways that children learn,” Simmons said. “So, I certainly Alan Coverstone Dr. Jesse Register think my background, all of my experiences, have helped me.” Simmons and husband Keith Simmons, a prominent Nashville attorney, have three adult children, who attended Hume-Fogg Academic Magnet School, USN and MBA, respectively. “The three schools they all went to were best for them and they all went there for totally different reasons,” she said. “I had the option to do that, I know not everyone does. My goal is to make sure that if you don’t have that option, you’re not being left behind.” The appointment of Simmons to the school board comes after the passage of a new state law lifting the caps on the number of students who can attend charter schools in Tennessee. The district, which currently has five charter schools, can also now have up to 20. “I’m a huge supporter of choice,” Simmons said. “I’ve been somewhat cautious about charter schools because I believe they’re not all equal, and I believe strongly every Resource ... From Page One ment of Transportation, and Neel-Schaffer engineering firm. With the Hillsboro widening completed ahead of schedule and a center turning lane to be added between Interstate 440 and Crestmoor Road as part of resurfacing work along Harding Place, some relief in traffic congestion is on the horizon. But now the Resource Team is poised to really get its hands dirty. “When they built the Walgreens on Abbott Martin,” Todd said, “they missed a great opportunity to line up Abbott Martin and Richard Jones Road.” That’s not to mention the fractured intersection at Crestmoor Road, Glen Echo Road and Hillsboro where cars headed in opposition directions squeeze into a turning lane, inches from trading paint with each other. “With this team in place now, you’re not going to miss anymore opportunities like that.” With more development courting Green Hills, the Resource Team may be looking to take a breath and consider Carter Todd Sean McGuire the potential of all new development to implement the necessary infrastructure and connectivity upgrades. The team went so far as to discuss a moratorium on Green Hills development. But stopping short of such a measure, it appears development in the area will face the scrutiny of the Resource Team. “They’ve got the patient on the table and they’re going to fix some things before they let other problems fester,” Todd said. That could mean some major developments on the table – the Castleman-Hobbs and Valerie Crossings proposals – could be put on the backburner, he said. “We need to fix the problems that we have currently before we can think about a massive redevelopment,” said District 25 Councilman Sean McGuire. “My concerns about doing a moratorium on redevelopment is because I think redevelopment can do just that. It can provide opportunities to improve infrastructure or provide public amenities like sidewalks that would actually improve traffic.” Rather than put the brakes on development, McGuire said each proposal should be looked at on a case-by-case basis to weed out projects the team and the community feel won’t further the causes of improving traffic, connectivity and pedestrian-friendliness in Green Hills. It’s unclear what that means for pending developments such as developer Brent Smith’s Valerie Crossings and Kathleen Kelly’s Castleman- charter school has to be examined on its own merits.” A looming hot-button issue for the school board could be whether to adopt an incentive pay plan for Metro teachers, an idea believed to have support from Register. “I generally think it’s a good idea to examine it and see if it will work,” Simmons said, “particularly in hard-to-attract areas, such as science or math, or in difficult schools.” For nearly a year, observers had discussed the possibility of a state, and even mayoral, takeover of the school district had it failed to meet federal No Child Left Benchmarks for the sixth consecutive year. To the surprise of most, it was announced last week MNPS met the criteria required of all specified student populations. “I believe that we are moving in the right direction,” Simmons said. “I’m so happy for all those people who have worked so hard because I think it’s really hard to turn around a school system.” Hobbs. But Smith said he is still reviewing his options after meeting with different community groups. “Over the last few days I’ve been looking at options, some of which are very attractive, and I’ve been going through different financial models,” Smith told The News. Calls to Kelly were not returned prior to Tuesday’s deadline. “This idea of infill makes some sense and it’s popular with the planners,” Todd said, “but … people don’t want anymore density in Green Hills until some of these things are figured out.” This retainer wall was installed as part of the widening of Hillsboro Pike. Next up is a resurfacing project that will add a center turn lane between I-440 and Crestmoor Road.

Samuels, chairman, president and CEO of Avenue Bank, is among an elite group repre- senting Tennessee bankers past and present who the TBA believes have excelled in the areas of banking, community service and civic involvement. The Oxford, Miss., native began his banking career in 1968 at First National Bank of Memphis as a loan officer. Over the course of his more than 40-year career, Samuels has served in a leadership capacity at multiple banks and businesses. Before founding Avenue Bank in 2007, Samuels was group president for Regions Bank in Middle Tennessee. His responsibilities at Regions included the oversight of banking operations in 20 counties and more than $2 billion in assets. Samuels is a founder of the Mid-South School of Banking at the f o r m e r Memphis State University and a Samuels board former member and chairman of the Tennessee Bankers Association Commercial Lending School. He was honored by the American Institute of Banking’s Memphis chapter as an Honorary Lifetime Board Member and the Nashville chapter as Banking Instructor of the Year. In 1988, he was named the Small Business Financial Services Advocate of the Year for the state of Tennessee. “Not only is Ron a leader in the banking industry, he is a respected leader in the Nashville community,” said TBA president Brad Barrett. “Ron’s commitment to causes that make Nashville a better place is extraordinary.” Samuels serves as chairman of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and the finance committee for the Music City Convention Center coalition. He is on the boards of the Country Music Association, Nashville Alliance for Public Education, Adventure Science Center, Alignment Nashville and Foundation. FiftyForward Additionally, Samuels is a steering committee member for Education 2020 and is on the board of trustees of Leadership Nashville and the advisory board of Belmont University Massey Graduate School. Leaders in Banking Excellence is an initiative by the TBA to recognize and celebrate exceptional bankers throughout Tennessee’s history, Barrett said. As of July 21, Vanderbilt University has received the lion’s share of National Institutes of Health stimulus grants in Tennessee – 49 of 88 grants, totaling nearly $14 million over two years. These grants are funding at least 50 new jobs at the Medical Center. The largest of the NIH stimulus grants received by Vanderbilt, $3 million, will be used to expand an international clinical research fellowship program coordinated through the Vanderbilt University Institute for Global Health. The grant will support a year of mentored clinical research training in the developing world for an additional 23 research fellows – U.S. citizens with M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees – over the next 18 months. Ten fellows will be able to continue their projects for a second year. Marylyn Ritchie, Ph.D., will be able to accelerate her research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and nearly double her lab staff, thanks to $923,000 in federal stimulus money she will receive over the next two years. Richie’s grant will add four or five new positions in her lab. “This is a huge grant,” said Ritchie, who directs the Computational Genomics Core. “There are a lot of people in Middle Tennessee who are unemployed statisticians.” Ritchie’s funding is among the first stimulus grants awarded in Tennessee by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which was signed into law by President Obama in February. The NIH portion of the act, more than $10 billion, is designed “to help stimulate the U.S. economy through the support and advancement of scientific research,” federal officials said. Ritchie, an associate professor of molecular physiology and biophysics, seeks to determine the connections between genetic and environmental factors that contribute to common, complex diseases like diabetes. The goal of her project, which began July 1, “is to develop a way to integrate genetic data with other types of knowledge and with public databases,” she said. Although the sequencing of the human genome has generated a mountain of data, it’s not easy to extract meaningful information from it – even with the help of a supercomputer. Studying the genome is analogous to climbing a mountain. Having fast computers can provide the climber with strength, stamina and good tools. What’s required to reach the top, however, is a good route up the mountain – a strategy. Supercomputers must be programmed to analyze data in ways that reveal the greatest amount of significant information. But it’s going to take time to find the best route.

Page 14- The News, July 30, 2009 Phil Valentine is nothing more than a Republican mouthpiece Phil Valentine is nothing more than a Republican mouthpiece along with rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and others. The goal of these Republican mouthpieces is to destroy President Obama’s health care plan for Americans. The other day, I heard Uncle Phil say that Obama’s plan would put the private insurance companies out of business. Then put them out of business, I don’t give a damn. Where was Uncle Phil to defend the millions of people that are in cemeteries because health insurance companies denied them coverage or would not allow certain medical procedures to be done? Where was Uncle Phil when millions of people lost their homes and or went into bankruptcy because insurance companies denied them medical coverage? I have no love for these insurance companies, they should be put on trial for crimes against the American people. Where was Uncle Phil when these people needed help to fight these big companies? Well, the answer is he was on the air downing the Democrats and having his health insurance paid for by his company. Uncle Phil has never had to make a payroll, he has never had to purchase health insurance for employees, and he has partaken of the benefits his company had to offer. One of the ways to bring down health care cost is to create competition between them. At the present time there is no competition, and in this case, only the government can create competition. This past week, United Health Care reported 158 per- fessor of African studies. He apparently has a chip on his shoulder looking to play his race card, which is played entirely too much today. I am ashamed of President Obama showing his racial bias in his comments to the press. We have added an e-mail address for Ticked Off! Send your comments to [email protected] cent increase in profits during a recession, sounds like your kind of company Uncle Phil? It’s people like you Uncle Phil and other Republican mouthpieces that use fear over the airwaves to sabotage this and other programs presented by the president. Uncle Phil will not allow anyone that is knowledgeable of health care and can debate him, come on his program, because it would counter act the fear he is spreading. I like Uncle Phil, but in this case Uncle Phil is wrong. A gay foot in the door When considering who should be hired to management positions in the Metro/Davidson County government let’s remember that in the Old Testaments, Moses’ days, homosexuality was a death sentence. In more recent American history it was a prison sentence. Now there are so many people living in accordance to the law, so should we give homosexuals the opportunity to run government? There are plenty of other things for them to do – have their own business or choose from the hundreds of jobs available. Shouldn’t governing be for people that we can trust and put faith in? Let’s be very careful about who we put into leadership roles. This may just be a foot in the door for them. Stop and wait Would someone please tell the drivers on Belmont Boulevard that the bicycle lanes were installed for bicycles and not as a passing lane? Not only is someone going to get hurt but also it’s against the law. So, when the car in front of you is stopped to turn left, just come to a stop and wait. Seriously, if you’re in that big of a hurry, drive down Hillsboro Road. Victims of poverty I am a newcomer to Nashville and plan to live the remainder of my life here. The decision to be here was mine, for which I take full responsibility, and I chose Nashville because I think there will be a better quality of life for me here. Yes, I am homeless and I “[hand] a government issued card to the cashier” for food purchases, but I am not “disgusting” and as soon as I find an employment niche, I shall be reasonably self-sufficient. Fortunately, it seems the reader (“Disgusting freeloaders,” Ticked Off ! July 23) has had no experience with the progress and instability associated with our “Country’s economic disruptions.” Equally fortunate, the reader affirms that they “[live] in average-income neighborhoods.” I researched to try to understand what this might mean and the “approximation” might be a median annual income of approximately $40,000 with a median house costing about $119,000. Given housing payments, if the reader actually budgets, the same would amount to about $666monthly leaving a comfortable difference of about $2,667.00monthly for “some necessities” and “discretionary spending.” I make no apology for asking for what I need. I truly do not hope the reader, nor anyone else, finds themselves victims of poverty as I have many times in “these United States.” Obamaʼs racial bias I am ticked off at a supposedly educated college professor. Can you imagine a noted college professor refusing to answer questions for police officers and properly identify himself. In this incidence he supposedly belittled the arresting officer, insulted his mother and played the race card. He just had to prove who he was and they would have walked away, instead they arrested the pro- Completely irrational I’m ticked off that our government cannot decide whether to support the effort against illegal drugs or not. It gives aid to intravenous drug users, supplying them with clean needles. Does this mean that we are very serious about stamping out the drug trade in our country while our officers are being killed by drug dealers in Mexico? If the government would apply the same intensity to fighting illegal drugs in our nation as it does to fighting wars in other countries, we would see better results. Are there more bribes to important legislative members than we realize? It just doesn’t make sense to make a law that puts some people in prison for using and selling drugs and for others who aid them. It doesn’t make sense. It’s completely irrational. Are our legislators drunk on alcohol? Are they using drugs? In China they shoot their drug dealers, and they don’t have any. Fresh view I would like to give a pat on the back to the Brentwood Fresh Market grocery store because you can go through the checkout lanes without having to witness all of the magazines with all of the horrible news from all over the world and the half-clothed women. It’s so refreshing to be able to just shop in a grocery store and not have to view all of those trashy magazines. Plan ahead, Lipscomb I am really ticked off at July 30, 2009, The News, Page 15 Lipscomb University. They have baseball tournaments during the summer, and when they know it’s going to rain they don’t cover up the field. They cancel the games and reschedule them for the next day. Teams come from out of state to play, so why can’t Lipscomb cover the field and play the games when they should be played. Letʼs get rational America spends more money on the military than any other nation on earth yet our health care reform bill wants to pull the plug on the elderly at the end of their days when funds are lacking. It seems to me it would make more sense to take care of the elderly rather than spend more billions of dollars in Afghanistan where we’ve been for eight years and seems we’re getting nowhere. Let’s get rational and do the right thing. Slow down the news I’m ticked off about the TV news broadcasters, especially the women. They read the news so fast it’s like a spelling bee of a competition to see how fast they can read. If they would slow down it would certainly help the viewers. The men are much better than the women. All of the women read and talk too fast, especially that Kristin Priesol. It really is bad. Government junk food I agree with “Disgusting freeloaders” (Ticked Off ! July 23) about all of the people paying for their groceries with government funds. I’ve had that experience many times when the person in front of me has their cart loaded up with junk food, frozen foods, and cheese and dairy, which most people can’t afford to buy anymore. And all of it’s paid for with their government card. Ordinary McNair I would like to make a dedication to the memory of Steve McNair, an ordinary man who did extraordinary things for the betterment of humankind. 24/7 failure I’m ticked off that many of Wachovia Bank’s ATMs in Nashville will not accept customer deposits. I was shocked when I went to two separate branches and found all of the machines will dispense cash but will not accept customer deposits. Have they ever heard of 24/7 banking and customer convenience? This is 2009 and full service ATMs have been around for decades. When I inquired about this the branch they told me that was for ‘security’ reasons, yet they have machines full of cash but are afraid to accept deposits. No wonder Wachovia had to be taken over by Wells Fargo. Any bank that does not easily accept deposits from its customers deserves to fail. Report the happenings I’m ticked off. I could not find the real happenings in the case of the Harvard professor who was arrested at his home until I Googled the names of those involved. The newspapers and television did not give the complete story. There was all of this roundabout stuff. It seems to me the real culprit was the person that called the police in the first place. This is just an unusual thing that should just be forgotten. I really do think President Barack Obama was wrong for getting involved, but of course being a black – and a very well educated one – he wanted to help his friend in some way. It was really out of order for him to get involved. I hope we can just forget this thing. But I’m ticked off that the newspapers and television didn’t do better reporting on the happenings of this incident. Still there I recently was told that “In God We Trust” had been removed from our coins. This is not true, however. It has been put on the edge of the coins, so actually it is easier to read other than in an area where there are a lot of conflicting images of presidents’ portraits and those type of things. “In God We Trust” is still on American money, thankfully, and people should know that it has not been removed. Nothing illegal The mayor of Forest Hills is being a real jerk about the Church of Christ wanting to expand. It’s their property, and they’re not doing anything illegal. His comments are asinine and really ought to be ashamed of himself. We expect better from these elected officials. I guess he thinks he owns the world or something. The church does a lot of good in the community, and if he doesn’t know that than he’s not smart enough to be elected to office. Crying, talking, snorting It is not a pleasure to go out to eat anymore. I decided to go to the Cracker Barrel instead of making my own breakfast. At the restaurant, the guy sitting next to me was talking loudly on his cell phone, and snorting and making all of these rude noises while his baby is crying. Then Saturday I went with a friend to Olive Garden for dinner and same thing – babies screaming and crying. I know babies cry, but the parents should realize that people don’t want to hear that. I will certainly eat at home now. If the restaurants are wondering why it isn’t so enjoyable to eat out there are three reasons right there: babies, cell phones and somebody snorting next to you. Itʼs not the same place I’m ticked off at the place that used to be the Flower Mart on Hillsboro Road. It’s not the same people, and it’s not a flower shop anymore but just a garden store. You go there thinking you’re going to get the same service you used to. I’m ticked off that they are going by the same name as the old place.

Hollabaugh elected to IADC Board Kathy Hadley, left, of Posh Boutique, joined forces with Amy Heimermann to produce Posh Home. Photo by Joey Garrison Posh Home is new destination for retro furnishings and art By Joey Garrison Staff Writer One of Nashville’s hippest boutiques now has a home shop that matches in style. Posh Home, Nashville’s newest destination for retro furnishings and art, opened in May in the former home of its sister-store, Posh Boutique, after it moved four doors down to a new location in the heart of Hillsboro Village. “Part of what we’re about is about inspiring,” said interior stylist Amy Heimermann, who operates the store alongside Kathy Hadley, owner of Posh Boutique. “It’s fun to watch people come in, browse, get real excited and leave with all these pictures in their mind,” she said. “Then they come back and they’ll find something that they love.” In the past, Hadley opened her boutique to a few home furnishings selected by Heimermann, albeit in limited space. The clothing store’s move down the road opened the door to build on their retail collaboration. “We developed a relationship and felt kind of a buzz around town for the type of furniture and type of design that I do,” Heimermann said. “When she moved her clothing store, she still had this space, and we decided to join forces.” Heimermann, a lifelong interior design enthusiast, said items are an affordable blend of vintage, modern designed to look vintage and antique. “We buy what we love,” she said. “And we love such an eclectic blend of things … we mix in a lot of art, really just things that have personality, things that are going to move people when they walk in the door.” Shoppers can peruse the store for beds, lamps, dressers, chairs and curtains or smaller items such as dinner glasses, lamps or vases – all tend to have that “retro look,” usually, but not exclusively, 1920s or newer. New Business Customers at Posh Home tend to look for things that suit their personalities, Hadley said. “Nothing is cookie-cutter. It’s all about individuality.” The duo shops for items as a pair, discovering antiques and vintage goods on the market, estate sales and some unnamed “secret spots.” “We’ve been on the road a little bit,” Hadley said. And they tend not to miss out on worthwhile items. “The driving force behind the clothing store and my interiors is what goes on behind these sets of eyes,” Heimermann said. “There are people who have gifts with numbers. We have a gift of having a good eye.” So far, the gift appears to be producing. “We’re very happy,” Hadley said. “We’ve gotten just great feedback from day one.” Posh Home is at 1813 21st Ave. S.

Jeff Sessions of Alabama keynote the annual Statesman’s Dinner. Sessions extolled his party’s success in stalling Democratic health care and “cap and trade” initiatives.

Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey told the media he in no way condoned the senator’s alleged sexual activity with an intern. Ramsey asked Stanley to step down from his committee chairmanship. Three other GOP gubernatorial candidates also expressed their disappointment with Stanley’s affair with a Capitol intern but stopped short of calling for his resignation from the Senate. All four GOP candidates for governor said the senator’s constituents would have to decide his political future. He resigned on Tuesday. *** Stump speech: Veteran Sen. Douglas Henry is already running hard for re-election in 2010. After all, he squeaked into office with just 66 percent of the vote in 2006. “I’m a Democrat born and a Democrat bred and when I die I’ll be a Democrat dead!” Henry declared at the Davidson County Democratic Women’s summer picnic. Henry, with nearly 40 years as a lawmaker, woke up the crowd with his rip roaring speech. He rallied the ladies for his re-election to the Senate office he has held for 38 years. *** Good in politics: Democratic Sen. Roy Herron showed partisan humor in his speech to Davidson County Democratic Women: “A Republican might define ‘politics’ as a compound word from the word ‘poli’ meaning many and the word ‘ticks’ meaning blood-suckers. But Democratic Sen. Anna Belle Clement O’Brien said, ‘Politics is a beautiful word to me. Politics is how children get fed; we have schools for our children, our roads get built and people have a better way of life.’ Politics is how so many good things happen.” Herron aims to be governor in 2010.

He says Middle Tennessee is going to be a real battleground. “Roughly 30 percent of the GOP primary vote will come out of Middle Tennessee,” he told Williamson Countians who came out to meet him at GOP headquarters. “Williamson’s going to be very important to my campaign.” D O G DAYS OF SUM M E R SA L E AUG 6T H - 8T H Follow Dru’s Vues at http://www.twitter.com/drufuller/ SPRING, SUMMER , W INTER , FAL L BARG AIN CL EARANC E ON IT ALL !! *** Battleground: GOP governor hopeful Bill Gibbons hails from big Shelby, Bill Gibbons made a speech at Williamson the highest popuCounty GOP Headquarters. lation, largest county in Lt.

Hargett Jr. will retire as Tennessee’s adjutant general and commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Military effective December 31, culminating a military career spanning almost 47 years. “General Hargett has served our state and country during a critical period for our National Guard, deploying more than 18,000 soldiers and airmen to support the global war on terrorism since September 11, 2001,” Bredesen said. “He has been a trusted advisor to me and a true leader for Tennessee. He will be sorely missed.” Hargett enlisted in the Tennessee Army National Guard on August 31, 1962, as an infantry soldier, and has served in various National Guard staff and leadership assignments within Tennessee and around the world. During Desert Shield/Desert Storm he served as chief of the Operations/Exercise Division for the National Guard Bureau. He completed his War College Fellowship at The Ohio State University. Hargett was the first National Guard officer to attend the resident NATO Defense College in Rome, Italy. He served the Tennessee National Guard as the assistant adjutant general, Army, from 1994 through 2002 before being appointed the adjutant general. In 2004, Hargett completed a two-year term as the chairman of the board of the National Guard Association of the United States. He served a sixyear term as a member of the Army Reserve Forces Policy Committee and recently completed a two-year term as a member of the Department of Defense, Reserve Forces Policy Board. Hargett will become president of the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) in Washington, D.C., on January 1, 2010.

From Page One Museum of Art, Frist Center for the Visual Arts and the Nashville Symphony will each present different Chihuly installments over the course of 2010, a collaboration that coincides with the 50th anniversary of Cheekwood’s museum. “We are really delighted to have our partner institutions join with us, which really does make it a citywide celebration and a citywide draw,” said Cheekwood CEO Jack Becker. “We think this will be incredible for people who live in Middle Tennessee.” “We’re jokingly calling it Chihuly-ville,” said Susan Edwards, executive director of the Frist Center. “But the reality is, when people visit Nashville, they’re not going to miss this.” Chihuly at Cheekwood, the largest display, will include a 30foot yellow neon sculpture, a 15foot radiant yellow orb on the museum’s front law, a gigantic garden of glass in Cheekwood’s reflection pool and two “spectacular” installations inside the museum. The display opens May 25, 2010, and concludes October 31, 2010. “We’ll try to have some type of rhythm to the outside installation,” Chihuly said. “So, once a person takes a look at the work, they’ll be taken from one area to another area – some of them in the woods, some of them in the water, some of them on the lawn.” Chihuly, who has relatives in Nashville, said he has wanted to work at Cheekwood for a while. He began producing exhibitions for botanical gardens 10 years ago, and has since worked in cities such as Chicago, Miami, New York and most recently Phoenix. “They’ll be unique to their locations, but the glass won’t necessarily be made for this specific location,” Chihuly said. “All the works eventually come back to my studio and get reorganized and used in different ways. “Some of the glass will be brand-new and some of the glass could be 10 years old,” he said. At the Frist Center, the display is described as colorful and energetic, installations designed specifically for the intuition’s upper-level galleries. The exhibition will open to the public May 14 of next year through January 2, 2011. Meanwhile, the Nashville Symphony plans to incorporate six 14-foot glass sculptures into a May 2010 weekend performance of Bartók’s “Bluebeard’s Castle.” “They rotate. They go all across the stage,” Chihuly said of the symphony sculptures. “Each set more or less follows the story.” A native of Tacoma, Wash., Chihuly’s mastery of glass started 47 years ago when he worked as an interior designer. “One night, I melted some stained glass in a little oven, put a pipe in there and blew a bubble,” he said. “From that time on, I wanted to be a glass blower.” After stints as a commercial fisherman in Alaska and a student in Wisconsin and Venice, Italy, Chihuly in 1971 launched the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington, credited today with transforming Seattle into the world’s hotbed for glassmaking. Chihuly said he quit teaching when he realized his income from glass matched his salary as a professor. He opened a studio, hired some assistants and the rest is history. Today, Chihuly creations are found in more than 200 museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, London’s Victoria and Albert Museum and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. “Every year or two something new comes along which enables a show to be different,” he said. “If I wasn’t coming up with new ideas, then I’d probably quit doing it.” Top: Annette Eskind receives an autograph from Dale Chihuly following the official announcement of his new Nashville projects; Bottom: Chihuly works: Saffron Tower, 27 x 5 x 5, Desert Botanical Garden, Phoenix, Ariz., 2008; Walla Wallas, New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, N.Y. 2006 Photos by Joey Garrison, Teresa Nouri Rishel and Terry Rishel VU instructor given grant to study HIV infection survivors Mark Hicar, M.D., Ph.D., a clinical instructor in the Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease, has received the 2009 Infectious Diseases Society of America Wyeth Young Investigator Award in Vaccine Development. The award provides $60,000 in research funding. Hicar, who began at Vanderbilt as a resident in 2002, has been working with: James Crowe, M.D., professor of pediatrics, microbiology and immunology at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt; Spyros Kalams, M.D., director of viral immunology studies in the Vanderbilt Infectious Diseases Unit; and Paul Spearman, M.D., director of pediatric infectious diseases, epidemiology, and immunology, at Emory University. Hicar and his mentors have been working on a project funded by the National Institutes of Health to look closely at the B cells of longterm survivors of HIV infection. Hicar has been able to describe an antibody to a protein envelope “spike” that he theorizes has been able to protect these survivors. HIV’s ever-changing protein envelope has limited the success of vaccines in the past, but Hicar and his mentors hope that describing this spike structure and its matching antibodies may lead to a new vaccine that protects against the shape-shifting HIV.

Will Your Business Go Bankrupt In The Coming Recession? Free Report Reveals How To Keep Cash Flowing By Leveraging Off The Good Credit Of Your Customers Nashville, TN – The last recession wiped out 500,000 businesses. In only the last few weeks trillions of dollars in wealth has been obliterated and the credit crisis has put a stranglehold on many small businesses that are unable to keep a positive cash flow. The future of the credit markets is still uncertain. From Wall Street to Main Street it’s obvious that the financial landscape of this country is rapidly changing. While the loose and fast lending practices of traditional banks have abruptly come to an end, individuals and businesses now find themselves even more stretched for cash in this potentially crippling economy. Banks these days may talk a good game about how they support small business but the current reality is that if you or your company do not fit within their strict lending criteria then you’re going to walk away empty handed. And even if you were even lucky enough to qualify for a bank loan…would you really want one? Taking on even more debt in a vain attempt to increase cash flow has repeatedly proven to be an extremely flawed course of action. The exciting news is that there are alternative funding solutions available to business owners that can be customized to match your specific cash needs, not dependent on your personal or business credit histories, and best of all, that do not require you to take on any additional debt. How? By leveraging the good credit of your clients! This topic has been the subject of extensive analysis by industry experts and a summary of their findings can be found in a new special report called Explosive Profits: How To Use Alternative Funding To Maximize Your Business Success.

A conservation easement does not take ownership away from a property owner but simply restricts development on a designated part of a property. Approved by The Land Trust for Tennessee as the WMC's pilot group, "First Group" neighbors met to discuss recommendations for the easement's boundary line and the provisions they want to add to or clarify in an easement document. Most of the participating properties contain a portion of the Jocelyn Branch of Richland Meeting: Julie Petcu, and Lynn and David Barton. Meeting: Nancy and Collins Smith, and Maureen Mowry. Meeting: Greg and Stephanie Sephel, and Althea Jenkins. Creek, as well as a piece of the wooded hillside that is one of West Meade's oldest natural areas. "First Group’s" Lynn Barton said, "We are all here because of the woods and the creek." Completing the conservation easement for this group will be a significant step toward realizing the WMC's mission: the protection of wooded areas, wildlife habitat, the watershed, and sections of historic wall in West Meade, Nashville. The WMC's focus area serves as an important piece of Nashville's unique Ecological Arc, and "West Meade's wooded hillsides" were generally agreed upon in recent West Nashville Community Character meetings as "something to preserve." Through a fund administered by The Land Trust, the WMC has recently begun a campaign to meet the costs of "First Group" and prepare for future easement.

The items, which were donated by local merchants and individuals, include soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, Bibles, magnifying glasses, scrubbies, socks, hose, and gloves. Everyone enjoyed a potluck lunch which was divided into three categories: sandwiches, salads and desserts. Among the delicious dishes were sandwiches stuffed with pimento cheese, cream cheese olive, and ham and cheese; Oriental, chicken and field greens salads; Cathy Shull’s signature tomato aspic; and cakes, cookies, brownies, and lemon squares.
