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.

Resource Team optimistic about
meeting Green Hills challenges

Staff Writer
As city leaders turn a critical eye on Green Hills and the
Hillsboro corridor specifically,
the area’s two councilman see
a plan coming together.
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

“You’ve got enough decision-makers

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-

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.
Dale Chihulyʼs ʻMacchia Forestʼ (2007) is in the Phipps
Cheekwood Botanical Garden &

rowers, Nichols said, a group
that had fueled the nation’s
housing boom four years ago.
“The buyer pool shrunk,” he
explained.
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.”

involved in a $4.2 million expansion project, which will include
a new Christian Life Center.
The Rev. Don Hutchinson, who
is starting his eighth year as
pastor of the Springfield
church, said the new center will
be called the Farris and
Virginia Moore Christian Life
Center. Mrs. Moore is deceased.

Co-chairs of Mayor Karl Deanʼs Advisory Council on Special
Education Wendy Tucker (left) and Elise McMillan, share findings with the mayor concerning the state of special education in Metro schools.

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.’”

intendent Dr. Jesse Register.
“Whether the composition
changed or the direction
changed, I haven’t examined
it,” Simmons said. “But I think
anybody would say it’s a higher
functioning board.”
‘I’m a huge supporter of
choice. 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

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.”

State bankers honor Samuels as ‘Leader’
Ron Samuels has been named
“Leader
in
Banking
a
by
the
The
Excellence”
Tennessee Bankers Association,
which will display a plaque in
his honor at its headquarters
building in Nashville.
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

Additionally, Samuels is a steering committee member for
Education 2020 and is on the
board of trustees of Leadership

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.

Tippin receives DAR
Founders Medal
Award-winning
country
music recording artist, songwriter and producer Aaron
Tippin was presented the DAR
Founders Medal for Patriotism
at the 118th DAR Continental
Congress this month.
He was nominated by members of the General Francis
Nash Chapter of the National
Society Daughters of the
American Revolution for his
devotion to the armed forces at
home and abroad.
Tippin has spent every
Thanksgiving for the past nine
years with soldiers deployed
overseas in places such as Iraq,
Afghanistan and Kuwait –
sometimes at his own expense.
At his concerts he assembles a
bicycle while performing and
donates it to Toys for Tots.
Thus far he has given 500 to 600
bicycles to this cause. In addition, he is the celebrity
spokesperson for the Paralyzed
Veterans of America and the
Armed Services YMCA.
At the DAR Continental
Congress, Aaron and his wife,
Thea, performed for the membership and included his hit
single “Where the Stars and
Stripes and the Eagles Fly.”

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.

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

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.

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. For more information,

Sessions extols Republican success
in stalling health care, cap and trade
Loyal opposition: About
1,500 Tennessee Republicans
contributed more than a half
million dollars to GOP coffers
to hear U.S. Sen. 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. He hinted he might
vote “no” on seating Supreme
Court
nominee
Sonia
Sotomayor. “Whatever empathy is it is not law,” he said,
referring to President Barack
Obama’s
nomination
of
Sotomayor.
***
Quick action: GOP state
Senator Paul Stanley’s sex
scandal stepped on the positive
message
from
the
GOP
Statesmen’s Dinner last weekend. 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.

Major General Gus L.
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

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

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.”

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. The report not
only identifies problems that confront expanding businesses and
bottom line profits but also presents a comprehensive plan on
how to avoid these mistakes and
best utilize these alternative financing tools.

West Meade Conservancy Meeting
photos by • Alys Venable
The "First Group" of the West
Meade Conservancy (WMC) held
its second meeting recently at the
home of Anne Williams.
"First Group" members are
among the 60+ West Meade
households that have chosen to
keep parts of their properties in a
natural state through a system of
conservation easements.
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 WMC's goals and progress
