The event benefits Cheekwood, one of Nashville’s most beloved botanical and art treasures. A 55-acre estate built by the Cheek family that made its fortune through Maxwell House Coffee, Cheekwood opened to the public in 1960 and includes a variety of specialty display gardens and decorative arts. The success of the Swan Ball was ensured by the 2015 chairmen, Barby White and Kathleen Estes, who aspired to honor a tradition of beauty, style and sophistication. “Like our beloved Cheekwood itself, we wanted this year’s Swan Ball to reflect qualities of loveliness and artistry,” said White and Estes. “We were inspired by Cheekwood’s timeless elegance, so we thought we could do a general theme of timeless and interpret that in unique ways that were unexpected.” Beginning more than a year ago, White and Estes started collecting style and design ideas to serve as inspiration for the upcoming charity ball. They desired to incorporate “at once, fresh and classic, modern, and yet time honored.” “We chose our colors. Fortunately, we both like soft and neutral colors. We thought that would be timeless,” said White and Estes. Treat Dad Like A King on Father’s Day!

What are things that are timeless and enduring?” Their vision was transformed into an elegant reality by award-winning New Yorkbased event designer David Stark. This was Stark’s first major event in Nashville, and he has a client’s list resembling a who’s who in the world of entertainment, fashion and art. “Envision an evening in Cheekwood’s lush botanical setting . . .with florals cascading in a neutral palette of classic and elegant shades of pale pinks, creams, ivories, blush and buff,” said White and Estes. In addition to Stark’s fabulous designs, the Swan Ball introduced Paolo Costagli to its patrons this year. Born to Venetian parents and educated in Florence, Costagli developed his bespoke collection in 1995. And now, his collection is available at the designer’s Fifth Avenue atelier in New York City. He specializes in chic and wearable jewels for women of refined and sophisticated tastes. Both White and Estes have expansive backgrounds and experience volunteering for events, such as the Late Party. And interestingly enough, both have family members who have co-chaired the Swan Ball. “I have my mom’s notebook. She handwrote her thank you cards and attendees list,” said Estes. “She did type her budget, but with liquid paper. It’s fun to look at.” Although there is an apparent admiration and close friendship between the pair, they are quick to give credit to the countless volunteers and Back In Stock! committees who made this year’s ball such a phenomenal success. The Swan Ball had a special treat lined up for the guests’ entertainment. A Grammy Award-winning recording artist, Jennifer Hudson served as an excellent parallel to the timeless theme. In a rare Nashville appearance, Hudson performed countless soulful hits to delighted ball attendees. Hudson brought her entire live show’s ensemble including her own band, singers and dancers, for her much anticipated performance. Later in the evening, the Georgia-based band the Atlanta All-Stars, an out-of-this-world, 18-person band, kept guests on the dance floor well into the early morning hours. This year’s Swan Ball honored the late Ann and Monroe Carell. Deeply charitable during their lifetimes, the Carells supported Cheekwood and Nashville in many ways. Whether it was through the Carell Woodland Sculpture Trail, the Carell Dogwood Gardens, or the Monroe Carell Children's Hospital, both individuals served as examples of generosity and humility. But when asked what they would miss most about the experience, both women immediately said the time spent together. “I also think we have met so many interesting people. I mean we’ve met a jeweler in New York, who shows his stuff all over the world. We met an interesting designer who has his own coffee table book,” said White. “It has been quite the experience.” Lexi by Elomi Cup Sizes F - HH Fitting Specialists 4004 Hillsboro Rd.

Bellemeadeplantion.com Page 28- The News, June 11, 2015 Metro/State Commentary By Horace Johns, MTSU Business Professor Former Metro Councilman Arthur Brooks provides insight into culture, economics, politics One of the current most intellectual and persuasive political conservatives is Arthur Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. He is best known for his work on the junctions between culture, economics, and politics. In 2006, Brooks published Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism. Relying on survey data, he argues that the three cultural values that best predict charitable giving are religious participation, political views, and family structure. He says that 91 percent of people who identify themselves as religious are likely to give to charity compared to 66 percent of people who do not. Moreover, he finds that: (1) those who think government should redistribute income more are less likely to give to charitable causes than those who believe government should do less in this regard; (2) people who couple and raise children are more likely to give charitably than those who do not; (3) political conservatives give more, despite having incomes on average six percent lower than liberals. In short, he advocates giving must be cultivated in families and communities and not be crowded out by government programs. In 2008, Brooks published Gross National Happiness: Why Happiness Matters For America – And How We Can Get More Of It. He writes that conservatives are twice as likely to call themselves “very happy” than liberals. He adds that devout people of all religions are much happier than secularists. He finds that parents are happier than the childless, because child-rearing offers “meaning” to life, a sort of deep happiness. He reasons that economic opportunity breeds happiness; that government efforts to diminish economic inequality – without creating economic opportunity – will lower America’s gross national happiness, not raise it; that opportunity allows for good jobs and job satisfaction increases life happiness since work makes people happy because they are creating value; that government can help us pursue happiness but does poorly in making us happy. In 2010, Brooks published The Battle: How The Fight Between Free Enterprise And Big Government Will Shape America’s Future. He lays out a vision for the resurgence of the ideals of individual liberty, equal opportunity, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance that are the bases for American identity. He argues that America is a nation where 70 percent favor free enterprise, while 30 percent want to change that culture; but that 30 percent coalition has a disproportionate amount of power in key places such as academia, the media, and entertainment that influence a large number of young Americans. He insists that the outcome of this culture war will determine whether America continues as a free enterprise system or becomes a redistributionist Europeanstyle social democracy characterized by expanding bureaucracies, a managed economy, and large-scale income redistribution. In 2012, Brooks published The Road To Freedom: How To Win The Fight For Free Enterprise. To win the battle for free enterprise over redistribution, he says that advocates of limited government must win on moral grounds rather than on complex, data-driven arguments (i.e., hearts over heads). For example, he argues that free enterprise creates true fairness by rewarding merit; that only free enterprise lifts up the poor and vulnerable – e.g., world poverty has been reduced by increased trade and globalization. Although he supports every citizen having access to basic medical care, sufficient food, and basic shelter, he says that the safety net is not a way to increase material equality or a way to pass out rewards to groups based on demographics or political clout, and only free enterprise brings real happiness as a result of earned success.

Sylvan Park neighborhood leaders endorse Kane Jeremy Kane’s campaign for mayor announced the support of six past presidents of the Sylvan Park Neighborhood Association. The endorsement came in a letter mailed to nearly 1,000 households in the Sylvan Park area signed by Nick Bailey, Margaret (Holleman) Martin, Bernard Pickney, Rob Robinson, Chris Schlueter, and Steve Swartz. “We are supporting Jeremy because he is the dynamic and experienced leader that Nashville needs at this critical point to bring a fresh and innovative approach to continuing our city’s growth and prosperity while preserving the neighborhoods and places that make us unique,” they wrote. The endorsements mark the latest strong show of support for Kane from the Sylvan Park neigh- borhood and neighborhood advocates across the city. Martin said: “Jeremy Kane has dedicated his life, including mortgaging his own home, to putting Nashville families and neighborhoods first. While other candidates may use the word in speeches, Jeremy has the record and endorsements to prove his commitment to neighborhoods.” 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 Sarah Stringfellow - Staff Writer Tiffany Dale - 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 Matt Garrett - Graphic Artist Published weekly by GCA Publishing Co., Inc. at 2323 Crestmoor Road in Nashville, Tn. 37215, (615)-298-1500.

Warm weather is here and that means people — and their pets — are spending more time outdoors. However, when participating in outdoor activities like walking or running during the summer, extra precautions need to be taken to ensure the safety of your pet. While they enjoy spending more time outdoors during warmer months just like humans do, they still rely on you to keep them safe and healthy. Along with many fun activities, spring and summer also mean increased hazards for our furry family members. Veterinarians say that summer comes with an increase in “HBCs”(or “Hit By Cars). Dogs and cats tend to roam more Celebrate Flag Day–and Old Gloryʼs local link–at Nashville City Cemetery Tiffany L. Dale Staff Writer Americans celebrate National Flag Day every June 14. In Nashville, the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) make sure this city’s residents know about “Old Glory’s” local roots. Capt. William Driver, a Civil war-era soldier who is buried in the Nashville City Cemetery, is credited with the flag’s oftenused nickname. According to the DAR, Driver flew “Old Glory” by stringing a rope between his Fifth Avenue South home and a tree across the street. The captain’s daughter donated the flag to the Smithsonian Institution in 1922 where it was on public display for years. This year, the event will take place at 10 a.m. on Sat., June 13 at Capt. Driver’s grave. The Davidson County DAR Regents Council will lead the annual wreath-laying ceremony. While Flag Day isn’t accompanied by the celebrations usu- ally observed on Memorial Day or Independence Day, it is a time to remember what the flag stands for, according to the American Legion. The Continental Congress voted on the then-new nation’s flag on June 14, 1777. It featured 13 white stars arranged in a circle accompanied by 13 red and white stripes representing the 13 colonies. The design later came to have a more symbolic meaning when President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation for the first Flag Day. The white stars and stripes represent “all that is pure in our purpose and all that is red in our blood in the service of a nation,” Wilson said during the June 14, 1916 speech marking the occasion. National Flag Day was officially designated in 1949 with the signing of legislation by President Harry Truman. The Nashville City Cemetery is located at 401 Oak St. when the temperatures are nicer. It’s likely due to the influence of “springtime love hormones,” plus the fact that the lack of harsh climates tend to encourage Fido to keep going instead of returning home and seeking shelter, according to the United States Humane Association. Unfortunately, these runaway pets often end up on the side of the road. Keeping your pets within securely fenced-in yards, on leashes or even on safe tie outs can help keep them safer and out of the emergency room. Aside from cars, vets say that the summer heat is the biggest threat to your pet’s safety, according to a report authored by Dr. Louise Murray, VMD, Director of Veterinary Medicine for the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Animal Hospital. The group releases tips each summer to help people keep their pets safe during warmer weather. Among the suggestions: Watch the humidity. If the humidity is too high, pets can’t cool themselves, which is dangerous. If unsure, take your dog’s temperature, and be sure it doesn’t exceed 104 degrees. "It's important to remember that it's not just the ambient temperature but also the humidity that can affect your pet," says Murray. "Animals pant to evaporate moisture from their lungs, which takes heat away from their body. If the humidity is too high, they are unable to cool themselves, and their temperature will skyrocket to dangerous levels — very quickly." Always use caution when exercising or playing. When it’s hot, walk the dog or play with the cat in the early morning or evening hours. Don’t forget that asphalt gets very hot on your pet’s paws, so walk your dog on the grass if possible. Bring water for both you and your dog on any outing, and be mindful that dogs with white-colored ears are more susceptible to skin cancer. Short-nosed pets may have difficulty breathing in the warm weather. Fido needs sunscreen, too, according to Murray. Give your pets shade and water. Pets should have unlimited access to cool, fresh water. During a heat wave, put some ice cubes in their water bowl. Tree shades and tarps provide good protection because they don’t block airflow. Keep an eye out for heatstroke symptoms. These symptoms include heavy panting, glazed eyes, rapid heartbeat, trouble breathing, lethargy, excessive thirst, dizziness or clumsiness, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, seizure and unconsciousness. If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet to a shaded or air-conditioned area. Apply ice packs or cold towels to his head, neck and chest and run cool (not cold) water on him. Allow him to drink small amounts of cool water or lick ice cubes and get him directly to a veterinarian or animal hospital. Also, don’t bring Fido to Fourth of July celebrations. Metro Animal Control reports July 5 as their busiest day of the year due to dogs who have run away in fear from fireworks or firecrackers. They recommend keeping your dog in a quiet room with the TV on to shield them from as much noise as possible.

Dry plants, or succulents, are ideal for open terrariums and are extremely low maintenance. Make a base. For plants, add a bottom layer of rocks or charcoal for drainage and to filter impurities. For succulents, use a base layer of sand. Next, place your plants inside. Start by adding a layer of soil for ferns or wet plants then nestle the plant inside. Almost every homeowner with a black thumb wants to know: Whatʼs the trick to enjoying plants without killing them? Sarah Stringfellow Staff Writer In today’s fast-paced, highly productive work environment, people are spending large amounts of time attached to their desk or cubicle. An inexpensive, low-maintenance way to instantly add freshness and personality to one’s desk is by creating a terrarium. A terrarium is a glass container filled with moss, gravel, soil and plant, which serve as a minia- ture ecosystem. Developed in 1842 by Nathanial Ward, a curious botanist, the first terrarium was an accidental creation. Ward was studying insect behavior and left one of the glass jars unattended, which allowed for a fern to grow untouched. Hence forth, the term terrarium was coined and has fascinated plant-enthusiasts since its inception. The terrarium glass contain- er is very versatile and can be a multitude of shapes and sizes, such as a recycled apple cider jug, soda bottles or even a Christmas ornament. The ability to choose different glass containers, plants and even add accessories, such as dinosaur or faerie toys, allows for an individual approach to the little garden. Terrariums require minimal sunlight, such as through a nearby window, and some plants do not require watering. The best part is, it takes roughly ten minutes to create, making it the perfect athome craft for a rainy day. First step is to pick wet or dry plants. Wet plants are used Add extra sand to cover pots of succulents. For wet plants, add extra greenery, such as lichen, around the original plant for garnish. Closed terrariums, or wet plants, do not need any further care, but must be kept out of direct sunlight. Open terrariums require bright sunlight and a few drops of water every few weeks. Contact Sarah at 615-298-1500 or Sarah@gcanews.com Minimal ingredients are required to create a simple, affordable terrarium. Gov. Haslam, TDOT announce multimodel access fund grants Gov. Bill Haslam and Tennessee Department of Transportation Commissioner John Schroer announced the award of $10.2 million in Multimodal Access Fund Grants to 14 communities across the state. The grants will fund infrastructure projects that support the transportation needs of transit users, pedestrians, and bicyclists by addressing gaps along the state highway network. “Improving our facilities for walking, biking, and transit is critical to the continued growth and success of our towns and cities, and these grants help make our communities across Tennessee more livable by creating more transportation options,” Haslam said. Examples of projects eligible under the Multimodal Access Fund Program include: sidewalks and pedestrian crossing improvements, bus shelters, park and ride facilities, and bicycle lanes. Multimodal Access projects will be funded 95 percent by TDOT, with 5 percent funded with local matching funds. Total individual project costs will not exceed $1 million. “Our responsibilities as a transportation agency go far beyond building roads and bridges,” Commissioner Schroer said. “Providing safe access for different modes of transportation ultimately creates a more complete and diverse network for our users. These projects are also extremely cost effective, which allows TDOT to make improvements in more areas across the state.” The Multimodal Access Grant was created in 2013 and TDOT has been able to fund 27 projects through a competitive grant process.

This rendering, created by Gresham, Smith & Partners, was unveiled at a ceremony last week at the school. The May Lawn of the Month winners are Roy and Mary Jane Glasscock who reside at 813 Luxemburg Drive. Their amazing rock garden has large rocks, beautiful, bold, Tennessee field stone, delivered by truck from The Rock Place, located on Murfreesboro Road in Smyrna. The much smaller river rocks that outline the garden were also purchased from The Rock Place. The plants range from Butterfly Bush (tree form), Silver mound, purple Salvia, Lantana, Purslane, Million Bells, Supertunias, a Japanese Maple (Crimson Queen), large driftwood and soon to be added a Hybiscus (tree form), and four Orange Rocket Barberries. Lastly there will be Pine Fines as the ground cover. Closer to the house is another small rock garden with the same rocks, a variety of hanging flower baskets, Supertunias, Million Bells, Creeping Jenny, a Japanese Maple(Red Dragon) and a miniature rose bush. The yard features some large Hosta, Patio Peaches, a red Japanese Maple tree, large rocks spread throughout, Pyramidal Yews, Moon Bay Nandina, large driftwood and hanging baskets of Impatiens. The homeowners are planning to add more to the decor around the semi-circle concrete bench by including matching urns filled with Impatiens and a Hybiscus in a large concrete pot. Hal Perry presented the award to the homeowners along with gifts from local Hermitage merchants which continue to support the beautification promotion for the Tulip Grove area.

Send an email to tulipgroveassoc@gmail.com The McGavock High School conceptual landscape plan as presented by EnvioroScapes. Tiffany L. Dale Staff Writer The largest high school in Middle Tennessee is overdue for a makeover. McGavock Comprehensive High School in Donelson hasn’t seen exterior improvements since it opened its doors in 1971, but a local community group is about to change that. Community leaders joined school officials last week as the Donelson Gateway Project kicked off the McGavock High School Beautification Initiative. The project includes new landscaping for the building’s east entrance and a new sign for the facade of the 498,00 square foot school. Landscaping will include 16 River Birches, which were found on the original Two Rivers Mansion property where the school now stands. Also planned are Crape Myrtles, Holly, Azaleas and daisies. With the backing of local businesses, Hip Donelson and the Metro Nashville Airport Authority, the Donelson Gateway Project has raised about $9,500 of the estimated $10,600 total cost, according to Jeff Syracuse, past-president of the Donelson Gateway Project who helped spearhead the initiative. “Schools are often a major selling point for young families moving into an area. This school is a figurative gateway to our community.,” said Syracuse who is also running for the 15th District Metro Council seat. “This is an opportunity for McGavock students to be part of improving their school and learning in the process.” The Donelson Gateway Project began as an initiative to create landscaped gateways into the Donelson community. Other projects have included work at: Lebanon Road and Briley Parkway, Donelson Pike near I-40, the Toll Gate Preserve at Stewart’s Ferry Pike and Lebanon Road and the east entrance at Lebanon Rd and the Stones River near the Stones River Bridge. The work recently expanded to educational and cultural gateways such as the Donelson Library, Two Rivers Middle School, Hickman Elementary and McGavock Elementary. The landscaping work is set to begin soon after students return to school in the fall. The Donelson Gateway Project is a 501(c)(3) organization. Tax deductible donations to support its work may be made online at donelsongateway.org. Contact Tiffany at tiffany@ gcanews.com or 615-298-1500. Page 32- The News, June 11, 2015 Real heroes, real courage, real people I think it is a shame that a reality television person is going to receive the Arthur Ashe Award at the 2015 ESPYS. He has done nothing as courageous as the young woman who played tennis and was diagnosed with brain cancer and passed away. Sure, his claim to fame was the Olympics and his television family's claim to fame is a relationship to O.J. Simpson’s attorney. But, do we honestly care? We shouldn't. Reality television has taken a firm hold on broadcast and we have let these moronic idiots fascinate us with their uneducated antics. Lauren Hill truly showed us what courage is all about, just as with anyone battling a real disease like cancer does. All Jenner is doing is changing from a man to a woman. That is not a debilitating disease and those who think it is have a lot to learn about truly sick children and adults. Go volunteer at a children’s Sidewalks should be user friendly We have added an e-mail address for Ticked Off! Send your comments to tickedoff@gcanews.com hospital, Alive Hospice or the VA. There, you will see real heroes and real courage. There won't be any cameras around, just real people. Send my thanks to the lovely lady at the bank If only I knew how to contact her! I would love to send flowers to the lovely lady who stopped to help me in the only available drive-thru lane of Belle Meade's oldest bank. I’m a senior citizen with a handicap and without modern phone or lap top. On a busy Monday, June 1, I used my cane to hit send on the gadget above my head in a vain effort to make a deposit. On this rainy day, a nice lady got out of her car and helped me get my deposit to the faraway teller and waited until the receipt returned. To the bank, I send congratulations on saving big money for yourselves; to the lovely lady, thank you thousand times. Anyone know of a quick, easy way to change banks? Where are the resources? In this city and state, why aren’t there more resources for public education, streets and highways? For years, I've heard it had something to do with the unemployment rate and the low wages paid in this area. That does make it difficult for some, but I am convinced we are spending ourselves poor. We are spending money when it is said we don't have it. Still, we can issue "municipal bonds" or pay for it with a "bond issue.” That's no different than "charging it" to a credit card. It has to be paid back and it’s not free! To compound the issue, our high finance people have dug deeper and designed a system that removes real "blighted" properties from the tax rolls which are never to be returned to tax paying status! This is called "tax incremental financing.” If you are not familiar with it, a local television station and the state website are two of the most informative sources for a layperson. This is an issue you as a voter or a taxpayer should know about and should ask your political candidates about; ask them “How much do we owe in Nashville [baseball stadium, football, hockey, Cool Springs ("blighted"), Bellevue Mall ("blighted") and others?” If we could write one check to pay it all off, how much would that be? I don't expect you'll even get much of an estimate, much less find someone who knows. You might get a lot of stuttering and stammering, maybe even a lie or two. Find out more and you'll be "Ticked Off" too.

I was fortunate to hear one of his presentations. I came away with a different perspective and better awareness of the design of good, user-friendly sidewalks. One of the main design components of a good sidewalk was simply to have a green (grass) space between the road and the sidewalk! This separates the walkers from a close and uncomfortable association with the traffic. Since then, I have been very aware of the sidewalks that are built right beside the traffic and how uncomfortable they are to walk. Another benefit of the green space is that the neighborhoods can place their mail boxes there instead of actually blocking the sidewalks with them. At one of these presentations was the then-head of Green Hills Mall. I noticed that as the mall went through its growth and development stage, the sidewalk around the mall was created with a green space between the (of course heavy) traffic and the sidewalk! I hope, as Metro Public Works adds more sidewalks around town, they design them in this user-friendly fashion instead of using barren concrete strips full of mailboxes and telephone poles.

Why would that tick me off ? Because the Urban Redevelopment Program is so healthy. It’s so healthy that no one in this town can tell us how much debt for which we are obligated! Meanwhile, we continue removing real property from the tax rolls, thereby reducing the tax base and enriching MDHA. Who is governing the city? Who provides the services? Is it the Metropolitan Government of Nashville-Davidson County? I don't think they are capable of performing their responsibility without going further into debt and eventually, bankruptcy! Sidewalk construction I'm ticked off reading the story in last week's paper about sidewalk construction in Green Hills. To all those people who are upset, I say, "boo hoo." I don't live in Green Hills and my neighborhood needs sidewalks. Will we ever get them? No! I am tired of not being able to ride my bike in my community or walk safely down the street. I'll be sure to offer a tissue so they can dry their tears over their poor sidewalks as I dodge cars in my part of town. Driving concerns When you come to a red light and stop behind a car, wouldn't it be proper not to stop on their bumper? Space is supposed to be given, so if you have to come around them, you will have enough space to back up without others moving for you. Also, leaving enough space between the car in front of you would allow you to not hit them. This is one reason there are so many wrecks everyday. You drive too close to the car in front of you. Make space. Try it; you might like it. Homeless in Green Hills If Green Hills is so wealthy, how come there are so many homeless people? We've always had the same three or four homeless ladies at the library and Starbucks. Now we've got new homeless people at the library, Starbucks and even at Kroger. Seems like the more houses they build, the more homeless people we have. How does that make sense? Why can't we find these people some homes and get them some psychiatric help? Half of them seem like they need to be on meds. Shouldn't an "It City" be dealing with its homeless and mentally ill who are begging on the public sidewalks instead of worrying about baseball stadiums and amphitheaters such? I would much rather my tax money go to helping people than this other stuff. Our priorities are messed up. Early voting concerns The Davidson County Election Commission is making it harder for senior citizens to vote by eliminating early voting at the Hermitage Library and “35 Years of Professional Homeowner and Condominium Association Management” 2200 Hillsboro Rd., Suite 200 Nashville, Tennessee 37212 (615) 383-1777 other remote locations. Those of us who use canes and walkers cannot wait in long lines on election day. It is not easy for us to go to Howard School for early voting. Voting is a right and the election commission should be making it easier for all citizens to vote. They need to reinstate early voting at remote locations or resign from the commission because they are either crooked or incompetent. Donʼt like TV? Shut it off! Too much junk on TV? Absolutely right. Reality TV is horrible, but at least it’s not idiotic and redneck like Andy and Barney in Mayberry! Anyone who watches that show or longs for it to come back doesn’t have a brain in his head. If you don’t like what’s being offered, shut off the TV! Duggers dilemma If the Duggers wanted, they could bring charges against all entities that violated the privacy act: the police department, which cooperated with releasing records and identities; the magazines, which sensationalized the story; the publications, which sensationized the case to sell copies; every TV "talking head" who bad-mouthed them; every media outlet that portrayed them in a bad light; TLC if they cancel their contract; and Heaven only knows how many more people and organizations! Exchanging germs at church During our church service, as with most church services today, people exchange hand- shakes during the "Sign of Peace." It seems like a very good way to exchange germs as well. During yesterday's service, a young father to my left, wearing sandals, kept fiddling with his toes. Then, a young mom to my right began doing the very same thing. This was followed by the "Sign of Peace." How sanitary is that? Between sharing viruses such as colds and flu and germs carrying athlete's foot and who knows what else, who came up with the idea that this was a good thing? A nod and a smile would get the same message across. Ticked off about something??? Tell us about it! Call (615) 298-5597 or email: tickedoff@gcanews.com Notice is hereby given pursuant to T.C.A.

Page 34- The News, June 11, 2015 Loretta Lynn and Jack White inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame Loretta Lynn and Jack White were inducted into the Music City Walk of Fame in downtown Nashville. “Great music and great parks are two of my favorite things, so it’s a very special occasion to open this fantastic new park and induct two incredible artists into the Music City Walk of Fame,” Mayor Dean said. “Walk of Fame Park is an expression of what our city is all about: a place that celebrates and honors great music -- because music makes Nashville what it is.” Present for the ribbon-cutting were Metro Parks Director Tommy Lynch, Metro Parks Board Chair George Anderson, Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. President and CEO Butch Spyridon and NCVC Board Chair-Elect Beth Courtney. With the addition of Loretta Lynn and Jack White, the Walk of Fame boasts 63 stars. “Nashville has been so incredibly open and supportive of what I and everyone at Third Man Records have tried to create since day one, and I will never forget it,” said Jack White. “Art can thrive in oppressive conditions and also in supportive ones. I thank the community of Nashville for being the supportive kind and giving back to us.” Lynn and White’s permanent sidewalk medallions are a part of Walk of Fame Park across the street from the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and between the Schermerhorn Symphony Center and Bridgestone Arena. “Loretta Lynn and Jack White capture the spirit of today’s Nashville - spanning multiple musical genres and generations,” Mayor Dean said. “It’s more than fitting that they joined the Walk of Fame together today.” The induction event officially reopened the downtown park, which has undergone renovations to allow for more usable green space. The improvements also include increased electrical and sound capabilities for events and an enhanced Nashville Music Garden, which is home to nearly 300 roses. “Walk of Fame Park is one of Nashville’s most used and beloved parks,” said Tommy Lynch, director of Metro Parks and Recreation. “We are excited to re-open the park with a new look and new features that will enhance our ability to meet the needs of this popular location. Walk of Fame Park is a great example of the importance of open space and park land in our urban center that serves both residents and out-of-town visitors.” The Music City Walk of Fame was created in the fall of 2006 on Nashville’s Music Mile, a roughly one-mile stretch that connects downtown to Music Row. It is a landmark tribute to those from all genres of music who have made significant contributions to preserving the musical heritage of Nashville and have contributed to the world through song or other industry collaboration. The Music City Walk of Fame is an official project of Music City Inc, the charitable foundation of the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. Nominations are open to the public and are accepted in the categories of artist, musician, songwriter, and producer/music industry executive. Application forms are reviewed by the Music City Walk of Fame anonymous selection committee. Sears closing at Bellevue Center mall in August The submitted rendering shows the available building space in orange and the multi-family residential parcel in brown. After years plagued by vacancies, the last remaining store in the Bellevue Center Mall is closing in August. Fortyfour employees will be affected by the Sears store and related auto center closing. Sears has operated in this location since 1999. The last of the mall’s other department stores closed years ago. Now, the mall is being converted into One Bellevue Place– a retail and walkable multiuse space. Crosland Southeast, a Charlotte-based retail development firm, is spearheading the project. The redevelopment is set to include 600,000 square feet of available retail space, a hotel, more than 300 apartment units and 1,500 square feet of professional space. Thus far, it is unclear if Sears will be included in the redevelopment project. Father’s Day Special 607 Craighead Street Nashville TN, 37204 We have 8 models to choose from.

Dale Staff Writer People say pictures are worth a thousand words and Derek Bouza likes to tell stories from a distance—400 feet to be exact. Three years ago, he took his lifelong interest in photography and flight to new heights when, at the suggestion of his brother, he pre-ordered an unmanned aircraft system better known as a drone. Bouza is among a growing number of recreational small drone pilots but also used his Phantom model aircraft to launch Ninth Planet Media, an aerial photography business. The equipment weighs less than five pounds and is about the size of a small microwave. The Consumer Electronics Association predicts that U.S. consumers will buy 340,000 drones this year. That’s double the number purchased last year.

It’s not about whatever money I make or the business. It’s all about the passion for me.” The device is able to hover over a location by linking to satellites. In addition to photography, it can also stream highdefinition video back to a smartphone or tablet. "It takes the point of view to a whole new level," said Bouza, who mounts his iPhone to the drone. “I can see what the drone sees even though I’m on the ground. The images are unmatched. It’s just amazing.” The drone is powered by a lithium battery, which has a 25minute life. When the battery begins to die, Bouza explained, it “knows” to return to takeoff location. While it can travel a couple of thousand feet in the air and up to five miles away. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rules require users to follow the same guidelines governing model planes. Users must keep the aircraft in sight at all times, below 400 feet, well clear of manned aircraft, people, stadiums and obstacles such as power lines. A 2014 FAA report cited about 200 drone incidents nationwide involving the flying of drones too close to aircraft and the illegal use in residential neighborhoods. A drone was also intercepted flying over the White House. Some states have enacted laws restricting drone usage. Last year, Tennessee enacted two laws making it a misdemeanor for a private entity to conduct video surveillance of a person hunting or fishing and for a person to use a drone to conduct surveillance of an individual in a place where that person has a reasonable expectation of privacy–particularly, their property. Bouza said that privacy is a concern he often hears when describing his work. “I respect people’s privacy and never take photos of anyone without their express consent,” he said. “It’s the same as with any camera, this one just happens to be in the air.” Contact Tiffany at 615-298-1500 or at tiffany@gcanews.com A picture is worth a thousand words.

Thompson Enjoy Our Harpeth River State Park Many citizens in our country have to travel long distances to enjoy their state parks. Many citizens of Bellevue have a state park practically in their backyard. The Harpeth River State Park of Tennessee in Davidson and Cheatham counties is a complex of about 10 areas involving about 40 miles of the Harpeth River that connects several natural, archaeological, and historic sites. There is even a canoe access at State Highway 100 near Ensworth High School. Also included in the state park is the 1862 Newsom Mill ruins, the Narrows of the Harpeth, Hidden Lake, and more. Mound Bottom Archaeological Site is a prehistoric civic-ceremonial center where Native Americans lived and were buried during the Mississippian era from around c. 900 to 1600 A.D. It is one mile IN M CO IN G north of U. S. Highway 70 off of Cedar Hill Road near Kingston Springs. Artifacts uncovered during a 1970's excavation of Mound Bottom are on display inside the park office of Montgomery Bell State Park. Also, we can get to the Harpeth Narrows by taking Cedar Hill Road off of U. S. Highway 70. The Narrows was built by Montgomery Bell, an early iron industrialist. The Narrows joins two sections of the Harpeth River by a 290 foot tunnel hand cut through solid rock back in 1818. The tunnel was devised to power an iron manufacturing operation known as Pattison Forge. The tunnel and small waterfall is all that remains of the iron forge operation. Montgomery Bell was so proud of the mill that he lived within the sound of the waterfall and is buried across the river. By the way, there is a onemile hiking trail there which winds along the river providing a glimpse of the Mound Bottom Archaeological Site The scenic sites of the State Park offer recreational activities such as fly fishing, spin casting, kayaking, canoeing, great natural scenic hiking trails, and picnic areas. In the old days, off of McCrory Lane near Pegram there was a resort that had a swimming pool and a white, sandy beach. It was called Hidden Lake. The owners came in and pumped out a rock quarry and concreted the entire bottom. They refilled it with water and hauled in truck loads of white sand to form a beach with the pool. In the old days, as the story goes, when the law was giving heat to the bootleggers in Chicago, they would leave town. One of the places they would go would be to the scenic beauty of Hidden Lake in Tennessee for great swimming and recreation. Today, we can enjoy the beautiful and majestic Hidden Lake area with its wild life viewing, quiet wild flowers, and great natural scenic hiking trails. You can contact E. D.

Thomas Jr. revived the charitable event in 2014 after a 16-year hiatus. The original Sure Shot Supper launched many political careers over forty-years between 1959 and 1999. As in the old days, the supper features a meet-andgreet for candidates with a “straw poll” preview of winners in the Aug. 6 election. Thomas promised plenty of barbeque and he swore no rabbits will be harmed. Room in the Inn, the Nashville Drug Court Support Foundation and the Tuition Assistance Fund for St. Edward Catholic School benefited from $22,000 donated at last year’s supper. The supper will be held Thursday, July 16, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Vaughn Building, Fairgrounds Nashville, 500 Wedgewood Ave. Tickets cost $25 with VIP tables to seat 10 at $500 (including a server to bring drinks throughout the evening.)

He celebrated his third Bar Mitzva, a Jewish coming-of-age ceremony, at Temple Micah in Brentwood. His first Bar Mitzva was at the usual age of 13. Seventy years later, at age 83, Roseman celebrated reaching manhood for the second time. "It has been great each time,” he told the Temple Micah congregation gathered for his third celebration. Roseman invited the Temple Micah congregation and other friends to, “Mark your calendars for my fourth Bar Mitzva in 2028." The Yankee-born entrepreneur brought his business skills South in 1948, eventually establishing several clothing factories in Tennessee and Kentucky. **** Dist. 23: Jim Roberts, a candidate for Metro Council Dist. 23, was honored recently at a lawn party at Damon Byrd’s Belle Meade home.

Barbara Weltman is an attorney, who wrote Lasser's Guide to Self-Employment. She writes about a prevalent problem plaguing the small business population. So when I read an article she wrote in 2014, I immediately saved its content to share with others. Now I would like to share some of her research with you. This week, it happened again; a new client came to our office with an “age old” problem. Auditors from the State of Tennessee descended upon the client, seeking to collect unemployment taxes on workers who had been paid as “selfemployed.” Many contractors and agricultural employers pay “day labor” as self-employed workers. Later they are audited by the State Labor and Workforce Development Department and find they are non-compliant with the rules for self-employment. The Internal Revenue maintains a list of 20 items auditors used to determine if a worker is self-employed. You may see the list at: www.oregon.gov/ODA/ shared/Documents/Publica tions/NaturalResources/20 FactorTestforIndependent Contractors.pdf Also at: www.irs.gov/Businesses/ Small-Businesses-&-SelfE m p l oye d / I n d e p e n d e n t Contractor-Self-Employedor-Employee Now, let’s discuss the difference between employee or self-employed. If a company has at least one employee, it is responsible for payroll taxes. These include withholding federal (and, where appropriate, state) income taxes and FICA tax from employees’ wages as well as paying the employer share of FICA tax and federal and state unemployment taxes. The responsibility is great and the penalties for missteps make it essential that you do things right. A wrong analysis at this point can cost you much money. The most prevalent problem is misclassifying workers. Misclassification of workers is one of the hottest audit issues. There’s incentive to treat workers as independent contractors rather than employees because payroll taxes and employee benefit costs are high; a company’s only tax responsibility for an independent is issuing a Form 1099-MISC if payments in the year are $600 or more. However, consider this; if a worker is really an employee, the variance in cost for that employee is 7.65% (1.45% Medicare and 6.2% Social Security). Also, there may be State Unemployment tax on the worker’s wages up to $9,000 (TN) and Federal Unemployment tax on earnings up to $7,000 at .6% (a total expense of $42 per employee). Failure to properly classify employees will create a large liability if the misclassification is discovered by audit after several years of employment. The business owner will be assessed tax, penalty and interest for each employee for each payment made to the worker. Failure to send a Form 1099 to those misclassified employees will cost the business owner the income tax, Social Security, Medicare, State Unemployment and Federal Unemployment as well as penalties and interest. Some employers believe that having a contract with each worker which indicates the worker understands that s/he is not an employee and therefore elects to be a selfemployed worker will off-set the problem.

Barbara says, “You don’t have the freedom to select the label for the worker; classification depends on whether you have sufficient control over the worker. This essentially means having the right to say when, where, and how the work gets done. Having an independent contractor agreement is helpful in showing that you and the worker do not intend any employeremployee relationships, but it doesn’t bind the IRS, who is not a party to the agreement.” General Characteristics of Employees and Independent Contractors according to the State of Tennessee Labor and Workforce Development Department Independent Contractor • Free from direction and control • Has necessary skills and training to complete job • Has a business location • Performs services for multiple customers • Sets own hours • Determines own price for contracted services • Not eligible for employee benefits • Provides equipment and tools used to complete job • Supplies materials needed to do job • Personally liable for errors and/or accidents • Files self-employment taxes • Has right to hire and fire workers • Must legally complete each contract Employee • Means and manner of work are (or can be) controlled by employer • May be trained by employer to perform job • May work at employer’s business location • Works for one employer, may serve that employer’s customers • Hours set by employer • Accepts wage, salary, or commission determined by the employer • Employer may provide and control equipment and tools • Employer may purchase materials and supplies • Employer liable for employee errors and/or accidents • Is hired and can be fired by employer • May quit working for an employer at any time • Employer may require specific attire to be worn while at work such as a uniform or shirts with company logo Please call our office for assistance, if you have a misclassification of employment issue.

In addition, I have serious concerns about the ability for those who are served by the criminal justice system to access legal representation and transit if we were to move the jail from Downtown to Antioch. “Last night, I joined my fellow councilmembers in signing on to an amendment that would take the proposed Southeast jail out of the Capital Improvement Budget. In addition, I heard serious concerns about the relocation of the police headquarters to Jefferson Street, and will be taking a closer look at that proposal over the next week. “Last night, I also heard from the members of the downtown neighborhood who strongly support the proposed flood protection program. If we know that we can prevent a natural disaster from causing damage and devastation to our economy and to the lives of Nashvillians, we should absolutely take steps to do so. Over the past few weeks I’ve talked to experts about this plan, and I am convinced that this is the right thing for Nashville to do. June 11, 2015, The News- Page 45 Metroʼs Police Training Academy graduates 54 new police officers Members of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Training Academyʼs Session 77 practice tactical skills during a training exercise at the Tucker Road facility. -photo by Metropolitan Nashville Police Training Academy Tiffany L. Dale Staff Writer Twenty-two weeks of intensive classroom and physical training concluded on Tuesday for Nashville’s newest police officers. For the last time a Nashville’s chief executive, Mayor Karl Dean ad- ministered the law enforcement oath to the 54 men and women graduates from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Training Academy. The class joins 22 previous classes to graduate during Dean’s 8-year tenure as mayor. The Academy’s Training Director Capt. Keith Stephens said that Nashville’s training curriculum sets the city apart from those that find themselves buried under negative headlines. In fact, Nashville continues to shine as an example of “best practices” while cities across the country struggle with allegations of misconduct and worse. Officers here undergo a thorough background check and psychological examination before ever entering the training academy. Also, trainees spend just under six months undergoing rigorous classroom work on the law. In fact, upon graduation, Metro police officers have the equivalent of a first-year law student’s education under their belts. They spend six months under a field training officer’s observation before being released to solo duty. Stephens said Metro’s officers attend annual training through the police training academy regardless of their rank or time in service. In addition to that, each officer is thoroughly evaluated during initial training on use-of-force before graduating and some departments have additional specialized training for its officers. The Academy provides approximately 950 hours of training to newly hired police officer trainees, 40 hours of in-service training to all police officers every year and thousands of hours of specialized training to officers from across the MNPD and the Metropolitan Government. All basic and in-service training is approved and monitored by the Tennessee Police Officers Standards (P.O.S.T.) Commission. Metro’s first Officer Trainee class began at its current location in September 1970. In December 1974, the present Academy structure was completed and Session One began its twenty-one weeks of basic officer training that January. Since that time the Training Academy has graduated over 2,200 police officers. The Academy staff represents a wide range of expertise. Stephens explained that the annual training tests an officer’s knowledge of practical and legal standards of how to respond to incidents and when and how to react with force. Trainees spend more than 80 hours at the gun range, but their training doesn’t end there. Even the more than 1,400 seasoned Metro officers must qualify on the .40 Glock twice per year.
