GREEN HILLS DRU’S VUES, TOO Page 6 NEWS VOLUME 27 Page 9 NUMBER 6 FEBRUARY 5, 2015 American Heart Association asks public to ʻGo Red for Womenʼ On Friday, February 6, the American Heart Association is asking locals to support their cause by wearing red clothing, and sharing red on social media with the hashtag #NashGoRed. The Nashville skyline will take on a special heartwarming glow this Friday, February 6, to raise awareness for women’s heart health. Twenty-two local buildings will be illuminated red as part of the 12th annual National Wear Red Day. The American Heart Association’s “Go Red For Women” movement was created to support and educate the public about women’s fight against heart disease. More women die of heart disease than all forms of can- cer combined. One in three American women die of heart disease and stroke, and in Tennessee, 9,000 women lose their lives each year. Yet up to 80% of cardiac events are preventable through education and lifestyle choices we make every day. So, how is Nashville “going red”? The Nashville Symphony will support “Go Red For Women” during three performances this weekend. The Symphony members will wear the red dress pin, and guests will receive Go Red information in their programs. Macy’s will have fun surpirse activities and discounts for customers who wear red, or purchase a red dress pin for $2. At the Tennessee General Assembly, Rep. Brenda Gilmore will introduce a resolution to proclaim National Wear Red Day during the session, with Legislators wearing an element of red. Many local businesses such as the Tennessee Titans, iHeart Radio and Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools will participate by asking employees to wear red, decorating in red, sharing heart health infor- Grand opening held for new Bellevue branch library The new library integrates technology, public art and sustainability into the facility.

The new Bellevue branch library has officially opened its doors. “This is a great day for Bellevue and for Nashville,” Mayor Dean said. “This vibrant community, full of children and parents, is finally getting the library it deserves. This isn’t just any branch library. It connects with this community and its history through the stories it tells on its walls and through its artwork, both indoors and out.” The 25,000-square-foot facility is five times larger than the old library space, and features cyber-centered studios, historic murals and sustainable materials. The Bellevue Library’s new location, 720 Baugh Road, is conveniently located next-door to Bellevue Middle School, allowing for middle and high schools students to partake in the library’s vast learning opportunities. “We see ourselves as an education partner to Nashville’s students and families,” said NPL Director Kent Oliver. “The design and staff investments we’ve made at the new Bellevue branch library reflect our commitment to students’ education and to lifelong learning for adults.” For instance, the library has the Studio NPL, a dedicated teen space, that allows for students to “learn through play.” Sat. 2/07 Sun. 2/08 Rain: 10% 54ºF 49ºF See Library on Page 14 Rain 60% 56ºF 33ºF TICKED OFF HOT-LINE 615-298-5597 TICKED OFF E-MAIL tickedoff @gcanews.com PRESORTED STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE PAID NASHVILLE, TN PERMIT # 338 Page 2- The News, February 5, 2015 Music City’s d n a B B iggest Your Nashville Symphony | Live at the schermerhorn DATE PACKAGES FOR TWO FROM ONLY $180 MATINEE & EVENING CONCERTS IN THE MOOD STYX MAHLER’S NINTH A 1940s Big Band Musical Revue with the Nashville Symphony and the Nashville Symphony February 15 with the Nashville Symphony Treat your sweetheart to the ultimate date with hits like “If You Only Knew,” “On My Own” and more.

LEGENDS OF MUSIC SERIES 615.687.6400 | NashvilleSymphony.org February 5, 2015, The News- Page 3 Taxing Matters By Jim Wilson, CPA False Calls from IRS Scammers Net $14 Million from 3,000 Victims In a recent article written by Michael Cohn, he revealed that the pervasive IRS impersonation phone scam has claimed nearly 3,000 victims who have collectively paid over $14 million for false claims. According to a new warning from J. Russell George, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA), the scam is increasing in volume. As the 2015 tax filing season begins, TIGTA has reminded taxpayers to beware of phone calls from individuals claiming to represent the IRS while intending to defraud them. I wrote an article on this previously. Imagine the fear of being told that you are about to be sued by the IRS for some ambiguous tax that you have neglected to pay, or worse that you have been threatened with the possibility of being arrested. One client came to my office last week and was visibly shaken because she had received such a call. Remember that the r ou t ou ry or ! t t to Flav rtle e g u e for atur ate T t ’ n e l Do F hoco C IRS does not call taxpayers to collect taxes or threaten suit. Also, the Service does not send emails regarding your tax deficiencies. In fact, the IRS does not use the internet for any reason, other than education and publication of tax materials at www.irs.gov. TIGTA Inspector General J. Russell said, “It is critical that all taxpayers continue to be wary of unsolicited telephone calls from individuals claiming to be IRS employees.” “This scam, which is international in nature, has proven to be the largest scam of its kind that we have ever seen. The callers are aggressive, they are relentless, and they are ruthless. Once they have your attention, they will say anything to con you out of your hard-earned cash.” They usually request payment by green dot card transfer, bank wire or credit card. TIGTA has received reports of roughly 290,000 contacts from scammers with taxpayers since October 2013. In the scam, the scammers make unsolicited calls to taxpayers fraudulently claiming to be IRS officials and demanding that they send them money for unpaid taxes via prepaid debit cards or wire transfer. The IRS usually first contacts people by mail—not by phone— about unpaid taxes. The agency will not ask for payment using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer. IRS employees also will not ask for a credit card number over the phone. Mr. George noted that the scam has hit taxpayers in every state in the U.S. The scammers threaten those who refuse to pay with immediate arrest, deportation or loss of a business or driver’s license. They threaten to send the police to arrest the call recipient. That will not happen. In fact, the IRS would, if warranted, send U.S. Marshalls to apprehend tax criminals. And that would occur, only if the perpetrator has been duly warned and charged with a tax related crime. “The increasing number of people not only receiving but accepting these unsolicited calls from individuals who fraudulently claim to represent the IRS is alarming,” George added. “At all times, and particularly during the tax filing season, we want to make sure that innocent taxpayers are alert to this scam so they are not harmed by these criminals. Do not become a victim.” In short, hang up the phone. My client tried to call the number showing in the phone ID. The call came from area code 202. No luck, the call could not be completed. The perpetrators of this scam often route the calls thru computer systems that give the impression that the calls a local. Many, if not most, of the calls are made from foreign countries. If taxpayers receive a call from someone claiming to be with the IRS asking for a payment, TIGTA advises that If they know owe federal taxes, or think they might owe taxes, they should hang up and call the IRS at 800-829-1040 for help with payment questions. If taxpayers know they don’t owe taxes, they should fill out the “IRS Impersonation scam” form on TIGTA’s website, www.treasury.gov/tigta or call TIGTA at 800-366-4484. Taxpayers can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at www.FTC.gov. They should add “IRS Telephone Scam" to the comments in the complaint. In addition, the IRS will never request personal or financial information by email, texting, or any social media. Scam emails can be forwarded to phishing@irs.gov. Recipients should not open any attach- ments or click on any links in these emails. Taxpayers should also be aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery sweepstakes winner) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that fraudulently claim to be from the IRS. I received multiple emails last year indicating that I had won millions of dollars in lotteries and that some foreign person wanted my assistance to transfer millions of dollars to the U.S., a part of which I could keep if I would just assist the effort. Another scam uses the passing of some relative who named me in their will and I must contact the attorney for such matters for my inheritance. I knew that was not true. No relative of mine ever had more than two nickels to rub together. Please request our free tax preparation organizer. We will send it to your email address.

They scoff at any demonstrable negative consequences that drastic restrictions may have on the economy, people’s energy costs, and livelihoods of millions of American workers. I am neither a global warming believer nor a global warming denier. It is reasonable to assume that spewing tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is not good for planet Earth and its inhabitants. But it is unreasonable to believe that those scientists, who pretend to know exactly what these emissions will cause in 20-100 years, are relying solely on scientific evidence, as opposed to a good dose of propagandistic ardor. In his 2014 State of the Union address, President Obama said: “The debate is settled. Climate change is a fact.” No so fast, Mr. President. Nothing is more unscientific than the assertion that science is settled, static, or cannot be challenged. For example, environmentalist and Population Bomb author Paul Ehrlich looked foolish with his dire predictions about the scarcity of basic commodities during the decade leading up to 1990, and because he said he wouldn’t be surprised if the United Kingdom ceased to exist by 2000. Also, James Schlesinger, the first U.S. secretary of energy, predicted in the 1970s that we would run out of oil and gas in a few decades; now, we know that vast supplies are here indefinitely. If climate alarmists were intellectually honest, the most they could plausibly assert is that there is conflicting evidence. They can cite that ten of the hottest years on record have occurred since 2000 (with 2014 the warmest). However, Britain’s national weather service concedes there’s been no change in global temperatures in 15 years. There have been natural cyclical changes in climate over thousands of years. In short, ice ages and warmer temperatures have historically alternated, regardless of what human beings have done or not done. To say otherwise is to adopt the conceited humanist view that mankind not only causes everything, but can also correct everything. An interesting though unconvincing idea is the globalwarming alarmists’ theory that any weather event is consistent with their theory. Thus, if the winters are warmer with fewer storms, then that is as predicted; but even if winters are colder with more severe blizzards, then this also indicates global warming. This “cover all the bases” approach looks suspicious. If both warmer, milder winters and colder, bitterer winters are consistent with their model, then how can the model be useful – especially decades into the future? New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio recently displayed a micro reaction of global alarmists by closing everything in their grasp, including subways and bicycle traffic, costing millions of people income, only to experience a mild winter storm in the end. Think how invasive, burdensome, and expensive inexact computer models and over-reaction could deliver on a planetary scale. It is wise to reduce carbon emissions regardless of whether it’s causing global warming. But, let’s take a moderate approach: adapt and lessen rather than going the “whole hog” approach advocated by Obama and leftist ideologues who show more interest in political control than environmental concern, especially in light of an unsettled science that is still evolving.

Jerry Maynard endorses Bill Freeman for Nashville Mayor Metro Councilman At-Large, and potential mayoral candidate, Jerry Maynard has decided that he will not enter the mayoral race and will provide his full support and endorsement to Bill Freeman for Mayor of Nashville. Maynard will serve as a Senior Advisor to the campaign, joining Rep. Brenda Gilmore who serves as treasurer. “We will be stronger together than apart,” said Maynard. “I am strongly backing Bill Freeman because he knows how to build strong communities for working families throughout Davidson County. His background of building things like his very successful small busi- ness, that he and his partner began with just a $15,000 bank loan then it turned into one of the largest and most respected in Tennessee, gives me the confidence he can lead our city with a clear vision. Maynard added that, “I admire most that Bill Freeman has been in the trenches behind the scenes over the past 30 years.” Freeman said of Maynard’s announcement that, "I've known Jerry for a number of years and have seen first-hand that he is highly respected by his peers in the Council and people all across Nashville. I respect him, and will rely heavily on his advice and counsel.” Maynard is a pastor, small business owner and has served as a Metro Councilman AtLarge for eight years. Previously he has served as an adjunct professor of Business Law and Ethics at Fisk University, Meharry Medical College and Tennessee State University. Maynard concluded, “When I think of the issues most critical to our city’s future – like public education, small business job creation and affordable housing – I know that as mayor, Bill Freeman will be ready to make a difference on each of those from day one on the job.” Green Hills News, Belle Meade News, West Meade News, West Side News, Bellevue News, Donelson News, Hermitage News and Nashville Today Newspapers Gary Cunningham, Founder and Publisher Emeritus Anthony Cunningham _ President and Publisher Wanda Sutherland - Editor-in-Chief Sarah Stringfellow - Staff Writer Horace Johns - Columnist Jim Wilson - Columnist Members: Associated Press Suburban Newspaper Network Drucilla Smith - Columnist Brenda Batey - Social Editor Lisa Bold - Production Manager Bill Bynum - Graphic Designer Published weekly by GCA Publishing Co., Inc. at 2323 Crestmoor Road in Nashville, Tn. 37215, (615)-298-1500.

From Page One which would ease passenger parking and terminal access from Donelson Pike that cuts through airport property. With more than 30,000 cars traveling that stretch of road daily, congestion also poses a safety concern. A possible solution is on the table: move an .8-mile portion of Donelson Pike near the airport to the left and connect it with an Interstate 40 interchange. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is looking into the project. “We are in the very early stages of preliminary engineering work and are looking at the possibilities,” said Heather Henson, TDOT spokesperson for the Middle Tennessee region. “We are in communication with airport authorities and Metro planners on what needs to be done.” The proposal has the backing of several local officials, including Jeff Syracuse, past president of the DonelsonHermitage Chamber of Commerce and candidate for the Metro Council’s 15th District seat. “Not many cities in the U.S. have an international airport so close to the heart of the city,” Syracuse said. “This project will help meet their needs of expanding services to accommodate Nashville's incredible growth. I have high hopes it will also bring some added local economic development opportunities to Donelson.” The Chamber also supports the relocation proposal as positive development for the entire metro area by improving access to the Donelson Pike business corridor and correcting issues that contribute to high traffic accident rates there. “The Metro Nashville Airport Authority is developing new markets for air travel and having an interchange that can accommodate traffic volume will be necessary,” said Chamber Executive Director Leah Jack. “Safe access to our airport contributes to the overall economic health of our community as the ‘Gateway to Music City’ and we are pleased to encourage the progress of this project.” The go-ahead for the project is in the hands of the Nashville Metropolitan Planning Organization, which is authorized to prioritize federal transportation funding. With other transportation projects in the works, the Donelson Pike project timeline is unknown.

Park Manor's mall wing is a harbinger of the much-anticipated future completion of Abe's Garden on the Park Manor campus. This is a model program of national significance for those who suffer from Alzeheimer's disease or other dementia. Park Manor board chairman Michael D. Shmerling has founded and is creating Abe's Garden to honor his father, the late Abram C. Shmerling, a doctor, who was diagnosed with Azheimer's disease before his death. "If there was one to describe my dad, it would be 'compassionate," Shmerling wrote on the Abe's Garden web site. "He was dedicated to his patients and to seeing anyone who needed healthcare received it. We established Abe's Garden with this commitment in mind and (seek to) provide cutting-edge care to an often overlooked population, those who suffer from Alzheimer's disease and other dementia." The "Garden" in Abe's Garden refers to the planned outdoor courtyard where residents may wander, as many with Alzeheimer's disease do, in a spacious yet secure garden setting. When completed, the Abe's Garden community will be located on the Park Manor campus at 115 Woodmont Boulevard. Dealing with his father's disease led the younger Shmerling Board Chairman Michael Shmerling (l.) visited with Park Manor resident Olive Davenport at the residence mall grand opening.

Dale Contributor to The News Nashville’s Metro Council Davidson County Criminal Court Clerk Howard Gentry, Jr. shook up the already crowded field vying to become Nashville’s next mayor when he announced his candidacy last week. He is the eighth candidate—and only African American—to enter the race. If successful, he would become Nashville’s first African-American mayor. Even with considerable competition, Gentry’s candidacy is a potential game changer.

Current Mayor Karl Dean ultimately won. Gentry is no stranger to public service. A former At-large Metro Council member, he served as Nashville’s first African-American vice mayor from 2002 until his unsuccessful 2007 mayoral bid. In 2011, he was appointed to serve as Davidson County’s Criminal Court Clerk and was elected the following year without opposition. Other confirmed mayoral Howard Gentry, Jr. Photo courtesy Davidson County Criminal Court candidates include at-large Metro Council member Megan Barry, attorney Charles Robert Bone, automobile dealer Kenneth Eaton, former Metro School Board chairman David Fox, real estate developer Bill Freeman, businesswoman Linda Eskind Rebrovik and charter school founder Jeremy Kane. Gentry has been invited to join other declared candidates for a poverty-focused forum on Sunday, Feb. 8, at Christ Church Cathedral, 900 Broadway, Nashville. At press time, he had not confirmed.

As Venus continues to make its way around the Sun to catch up with us in our orbit this August, it is climbing higher in the sky each evening this February. On Feb 22, Venus and Mars will lie about a half-degree apart from one another, roughly the width of the full Moon. Venus will be easily seen just after sunset, and fainter Mars will become more apparent as the light of dusk fades. As the Sun sets, Jupiter can be seen rising in the east-northeast throughout the month and will appear as a bright star. Those with telescopes or high-power binoculars are encouraged to check out the solar system’s most massive planet and its four large moons. Those who are fortunate enough to live far away from the glow of city lights can also enjoy a splendor that many others miss due to increasingly light-polluted skies. Go out well after dark during the winter months and find the constellation Orion, which is easily identifiable with the belt of three bright stars. As one gazes at the constellation of the great hunter, a faint glowing band to the left of Orion can be seen extending from the southern horizon all the way up to the northern horizon - this is the glow of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. The Milky Way galaxy is roughly disk-shaped, and we see this disk edge-on since we reside inside of the galaxy. Within this disk you will find copious amounts of gas and dust, the necessary ingredients to form stars. During the summer months, when the Milky Way is overhead and we are looking more toward the center of the galaxy, the large swaths of dust show themselves as dark patches against the bright glow of billions of stars. Within the disk you will not only find stars currently forming but you will also discover clusters of stars that have recently been born (relatively speaking). If you scan through the “sword” of Orion, which appears as three stars hanging vertically below the belt of the hunter, you notice that the central star appears fuzzy - this “star” is actually the Orion Nebula, one of the nearest and most well-studied star forming regions. The Orion Nebula also lies in the disk of the Milky Way, but its proximity to us, as compared with the majority of the Milky Way band stars, makes it appear more alongside the band of the Milky Way. The “fuzz” is glowing hydrogen gas that is being illuminated primarily by four hot, young stars located at the heart of the nebula. These stars are just a few of the several thousand stars that have formed from the gas of the Nebula. If we were to fast-forward in time, some of the nebula gas would go into forming more stars while the remainder would be blown away by the intense radiation and winds emitted by the bright, central stars. What would be left is a loose, young family of stars known as an open cluster. A prominent, naked-eye example is the Pleiades, which is traditionally shown marking the shoulder of Taurus, the Bull. Above Orion and lying directly in the band of the Milky Way is the constellation Auriga, marked by the bright star Capella. A quick scan through this constellation with binoculars will reveal several more open clusters known as M36, M37, and M38. The “M” designation is an abbreviation for the last name of Charles Messier, a renown astronomer of the mid1700s to early-1800s who cataloged many “fuzzy” objects that could potentially be mistaken for comets. Indeed binoculars will reveal these three clusters to be “fuzzy” stars, but telescopes will resolve the clusters into their individual stars. The term “open cluster” refers to a group of stars that formed with one another but don’t have enough combined mass for their gravity to hold the group together. Astronomers have several clues that strongly suggest many open clusters have recently formed. First, due to there being only a few tens to a few thousands of stars in these groupings, the cluster members will interact with one another, as well as with gas and dust clouds, as they orbit the galaxy and gradually drift from one another due to the low self-gravity of the cluster. Many of these open clusters are still relatively together, suggesting that they have not been around long enough for the members to drift apart from one another. Second, the brightest cluster stars are typically massive (a few times to maybe a few tens of times as massive as the Sun) and blue-white in color. If you compare open clusters to much older star clusters, especially the ~10 billion year old globular clusters that orbit our Milky Way, you will find that the overall color of the open clusters is blue whereas much older clusters tend to be redder in appearance. This is because massive stars of the open clusters are much hotter and brighter than smaller cluster stars, so their light tends to dominate the overall output of younger clusters. Though the massive stars have much more fuel to go through in their lifetimes as compared to smaller stars, they consume it at a much higher rate. In the end, the most massive stars live the shortest lifetimes while the smallest stars live the longest. Thus, since many open clusters still have their bright blue massive stars, they have not existed for very long, at least not long enough for the more massive stars to have ended their lives. Globular clusters, on the other hand, have been around for so long that low-mass, long-lived, redder stars are essentially the only remaining members. Relatively speaking, many open clusters are usually quite young compared to the Sun. At an age of approximately 4.5 billion years, our Sun is close to 50 times the age of the Pleiades. On Feb 22, Venus and Mars will lie about a half-degree apart from one another. Are you experiencing joint pain?

Last night I attended a community meeting with the Nashville Fire Dept. to discuss a planned new fire station at Harding and Hillsboro. Unfortunately, there’s been little if any discussion about a major change that involves public safety, and that has me ticked off. But I wanted to know why the Fire Dept. couldn’t build a new station on its present site on Richard Jones. The answer: at just 0.6 acres, the site is too small! We were told that using the current site would require the fire hall to be three stories tall. Out of concern for the safety of firefighters, they prefer one-story fire halls these days. In light of recent discussions to sell off our one-story Hillsboro High School and replace it with a 6-story version, I find that really interesting. If the safety of firefighters requires a one-story building, increase in traffic, which is already horrible. In my opinion, like others have stated, it is greed and increasing the tax base. I would like to see only one home on these lots. I hope all Green Hills residents will start calling the councilmen. We have added an e-mail address for Ticked Off! Send your comments to tickedoff@gcanews.com shouldn’t the safety of students and teachers rushing to class be a concern, too? I’m all for keeping our firefighters safe in their fire station. They work hard and serve our community well. But if that is the logic for rebuilding the fire station on a 2.6 acre lot at Harding and Hillsboro, then that logic needs to be applied to our schools, too. I’d also like to suggest that the current Richard Jones fire hall site be given to Metro Parks and turned into a park to serve our community. That land belongs to the people of Nashville and shouldn’t be sold off to the highest bidder. Doing so calls into question the entire motive behind moving the fire hall in the first place -- especially considering the lack of transparency and discussion around this change. Save the trees There have been several articles written about the tear down of existing homes on a nice lot in order to build multi- ple homes on the same lot, and in the process, cutting down so many beautiful trees. The new homes are built too quickly, and are not concerned with quality or character. They are so close together you could hand bar soap out the window from one home to the other person in the home next door. They are not wide, but long in length making them look even odder. The homes they tear down were constructed better and gave Green Hills grace and character.

As it opened last week, the prices at other fuel centers are varying from location to location. Taxes are necessary I'm tired of people complaining about the Hall Tax. If you're a senior, you're exempt if your joint income is below $59,000. Think about that number - it's roughly 30% more than the median income in TN. If you're making more than that, you can set aside a small percentage to help pay for the state and local services that you continue to use. Getting rid of the Hall means coming up with roughly $200 million elsewhere, or losing that in services. No thanks! We don't need this state looking like a picked-over Wal-Mart because people don't want to pay the government anything. Wake up, residents Green Hills residents need to get a reality check.

February 5, 2015, The News- Page 13 I have been fortunate to live in some beautiful and vibrant towns and cities in our country. I have an established point of reference. This town contains no appreciable architecture, no charm, no sidewalks, endless power lines, and at its core an apartment tower that looks like it was built in Cold War Russia. Our surrounding homes may be beautiful, but the greater town is a very sad place to shop and explore. Beware Heads up everybody: the light is now working at Bellevue Road and Highway 70. Be aware, and be cautious. Itʼs not justified an incredible amount of congestion, so why pay attention to the red light. If as often times is the case no one is coming the other way why bother waiting for two or three minutes at a light only to be stopped by the very next one… Just run them until the city gets its act together and fixes our problem. How dare you! I am incredibly ticked off ! I was both horrified and ashamed to see the video of two students desecrating the American flag outside a private school. These students should have been taught not only at school, but at home, that the American flag deserves their utmost respect. Furthermore, I just want to say thanks to the person that called in about the Tennessee Hall tax. That is the most unfair tax in Tennessee, and no one will do anything about it. I think the Republicans in office will get something done now.

Thompson Contributor to The News Classes were closed at Bellevue High School, as well as all other Davidson County Schools. It happened exactly 64 years ago this week that Bellevue as well as all of Nashville was pulling out of a freezing blizzard of January and February which to this day we still refer to as the “Blizzard of '51.” It all began on the afternoon of Sunday, January 28, 1951. When it started, all of us familiar with the two-inch snows which were here today and gone tomorrow, thought nothing about it. Many times we saw snow in the morning which closed the schools, the snow would turn to slush in the afternoon, and schools would reopen the next morning. But, the Blizzard of '51, not so! The snow of Sunday, January 28 was beautiful. Not too much traffic to worry about. No schools anyway. But, the snow didn't melt! Monday, January 29, 1951, no schools! Monday was dark and cold. The snow was not melting. On Tuesday, January 30, there was another inch or so of snow, and this time there was also a glaze of sleet. Library ...

Nashville Cremation Center is a product of the public’s demands. The Blizzard of '51 hit like a snow shovel in our faces on Wednesday night, January 31. The Tennessean reported, “It was something that we had never seen in recorded times. A massive ice storm.” Howling winds accompanied by freezing rain covered our area. Tree branches were sagging under ice. Electric wires and telephone lines looked like long, sagging ribbons of ice. It didn't take long for the lines to snap. No telephones! No electric power in many places! On Thursday morning, February 1, 1951, the storm had let up, but the temperature here had dropped to one below zero. We were shut down. The Nashville airport was closed. More than a third of our city was without electricity. Water pipes were freezing and bursting. In 1951, passenger trains were still serving our area, but an agent at Union Station in Nashville said that most trains were about 18 hours late, and he really didn't know where many of them were, because the telegraph and telephone lines were down. By this time, the several layers of snow, sleet, and frozen rain stood at about eight inches and was as hard as concrete. On Friday morning, February 2, 1951, the temperature dropped to 13 degrees below zero. At this time, I was the band director at Hillsboro High School in Green Hills. It was between the first and second semesters. In addition to band, I was teaching a sophomore English class for that year. I was talking on the telephone to the Hillsboro principal at the time, Mr. John Koen. He said that he wished he had all of the grades in so he could be handling that part of his semester's work. I thought he wanted my grades. I offered to get out and meet him somewhere. But, then he said, “Oh no! Yours alone wouldn't help. I need the grades from all teachers and all classes.” Well, we lived through the storm. I kept my feet up toward the iron grate at my house in which I burned COAL. So, I didn't get too COLD! When someone begins to tell you about that horrible winter and storm of the 70s, 80s, and 90s, some of us can just smile, and say, “I was in the Mother of All Storms in Middle Tennessee. I was in the Blizzard of '51!” skills.

In these lectures, Dr. Davis, Amos Ragan Kearns Distinguished Professor of Bible and Practical Theology at Duke Divinity School, will look at Matthew’s Gospel, with its particular emphasis on the life of discipleship, against the background of the challenges faced by Jewish Christians in the GrecoRoman world. Dr. Davis will highlight how Matthew’s prophetic understanding of discipleship reflects his reading of the “Old Testament,” and especially the evangelical prophet Isaiah. Further, she will consider how the Beatitudes and the Lord’s Prayer may be seen as prophetic disciplines for contemporary Christians.
