109th General Assembly is
off to a noisy start in 2015
As the 2015 General Assembly opened on Tuesday, there
was quite a commotion from the Women’s March on
Nashville, a protest organized by Healthy and Free
Tennessee, arguing for abortion rights.
Members of the Tennessee
House and Senate swore their
oaths of office as elected officials Tuesday morning at the
beginning of the 109th General
Assembly.
After the oaths, both the
upper and lower chambers reelected their presiding lawmakers, Rep. Beth Harwell and
Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey. Both
Harwell and Ramsey are
Republicans. Harwell enjoyed
a unanimous elections while
Ramsey won the support of 28
members of the 33 Senate
Republicans in addition to two
of the five Democrats.
The General Assembly is
expected to be calm for the
remainder of January. In
February, discussions will
begin over Gov. Haslam’s proposed expansion of Medicaid
as a part of the Patient
Protection and Affordable
Care Act. Ethics training and
the election for constitutional
offices will take place later
this week.
As the General Assembly
opened, there was quite a commotion from the Women’s
March on Nashville, a protest
organized by Healthy and Free
Tennessee, arguing for abortion rights. Many protestors
were beating drums, holding
signs and chanting statements
that spoke out against the passage of Amendment 1 on
November 4, 2014.
According to Allison Glass
of Memphis, the director of
the
Healthy
and
Free
Tennessee
coalition,
the
march was timed for the legislature’s opening at noon to not
only get the attention of lawmakers, but to encourage them
to focus on helping families
versus restricting abortion
rights.
“There are serious issues
facing Tennessee. We have one
of the nation’s highest poverty
rates and Memphis was

The National Trust for
Historic Preservation named
Music Row its latest “National
Treasure,” a move that is sure
to bring even more momentum
towards protecting the musical
corridor.
At Monday’s press conference held at RCA Studio A, the
famous recording studio whose
own future was in jeopardy of
redevelopment last summer.
Musician Ben Folds, who spearheaded the preservation project, was joined by Mayor Karl
Dean, Aubrey Preston, a new
co-owner of Studio A, and Mike
Kopp, chair of the Music
Industry Coalition.
Music Row was selected
because of its "central importance to Nashville's identity as
Music City, U.S.A. and the
strong desire to preserve it as a
cornerstone of America's cultural and music heritage."
Music Row is home to an
eclectic mix of businesses
including publishing companies, record labels, and of
course, recording studios.
According to the National
Trust, the organization plans to
utilize its 60 years of experience, expertise and resources to
raise awareness towards Music
Row’s importance to the community. Research includes collecting and documenting Music
Row's history and developing
strategic plans to ensure its
sustainability as a center of
culture and creativity. .

Taxing
Matters
By Jim Wilson, CPA
Taxpayers should avoid
unscrupulous preparers
The Internal Revenue
Service and national professional tax groups are cooperating to provide information
on selecting honest tax preparers. There is information
to help taxpayers avoid
unscrupulous preparers and a
gateway page that links to
sites of national non-profit
groups, such as the American
Institute of CPAS. It is
unscrupulous for any preparer to “guarantee” a refund or
a “bigger refund.”
That
sounds suspicious. Tax law
determines the tax and tax
law allows or denies refunds.
Tips are available on the
site www.IRS.gov/chooseataxpro, while the gateway page
links to the professional
organizations. The basic tip
includes making sure the preparer signs returns and uses a
Preparer Tax Identification
Number.
Taxpayers are also warned
that being asked to sign a
blank return is a clear warning the preparer is probably
unscrupulous. Such activity
is unethical and highly suspect.
The Choose a Tax Pro site
explains different professional categories while the new
partner page links to web
sites of participating organizations.
These include the National
Association
of
Enrolled
Agents; National Society of
Tax Professionals; Tennessee
Society of Certified Public
Accountants,
National
Association
of
Tax
Professionals;
National
Society
of
Accountants;
National Conference of CPA
Practitioners;
American
Association of AttorneyCertified Public Accountants;
and Council for Electronic
Revenue
Communication
Advancement.
In January, IRS intends to
launch the Directory of
Federal Tax Return Preparers
with Credentials and Select
Qualifications on its website.
This will be a searchable,
sortable database with the
name, city, state and zip code
of credentialed return preparers and of those completed
the requirements for the new
IRS Annual Filing Season
Program. To be listed, practitioners must have valid 2015
Preparer Tax Identification
Numbers.
The tax filing season usually brings its own share of
stress. Law changes, filing
deadlines and government
ineptness cause their own
complications. We have been
warned by the government,
that this will be a very different and difficult tax filing season. Why? Well we discussed
this previously; we have no
information to verify the
amount of health insurance
the clients have purchased.
We do not know if the plan is
approved by the government.
And what shall we do with
those who have not purchased
health insurance?
Lee Reams II wrote an article for Tax Buzz and he agrees
that the tax filing season,
beginning January 20, 2015
(hopefully) will be significantly more complex than last
year's filing season. “Why? He
asks. If you bought the
Affordable Care product, you
were most certainly awarded
an insurance subsidy based
on your estimated income for
2014. However, the actual subsidy is based on your actual
family income and how much
the government thinks you
should pay toward your own
premiums through a very
complex computation.”
The actual subsidy must be
reconciled with the subsidy
paid in advance to reduce
your premiums. Who will be
educated enough to disclose
that information? It is possi-
ble that you may be required
to repay a portion of the
advanced subsidy. Or it is possible you may be entitled to a
larger subsidy that is refundable on your tax return. But
that is just the beginning of
the unknowns. If your family
circumstances changed during the year, such as through a
divorce, separation, marriage, or changes in dependents, that will complicate
matters even more.
Failure to prepare your tax
return properly could cost
you substantial amounts of
money. Also, if the return is
prepared in error, correction
of that matter may be even
more complex with the IRS,
now losing many agents and
employees. In fact, the IRS
has actually said phone assistance will require up to one
hour of wait time. This is not
the time to try self-preparation with do-it-yourself software or rely on part-time preparers at one of those tax
mills. Let’s face it; the
ObamaCare program has
more holes than Swiss cheese.
Do yourself a favor. seek professional tax help.
Do not be duped by the H &
R Block, Liberty Tax, or
Jackson Hewitt folks who tout
their understanding of such
complex matters.
Send an email and we will
send a free 2014 Tax
Organizer to you, no strings
attached.

NashvilleNext proposes draft plan for cityʼs ʻPreferred Futureʼ
At The Green Hills Action
Partners (TGHAP) meeting
Tuesday, January 13, Jennifer
Carlat of the Metro Nashville
Planning Department provided
a special presentation of the
“Preferred Future,” or 25-year
master plan, created by
NashvilleNext.
More than 15,000 locals
offered their opinions on the
future of Nashville, and with
that
information,
NashvilleNext created an integrated plan that reflects their
input to help ensure the prosperity and well being of the
community. The plan, or
“Preferred Future,” is a compilation of proposals for how the
city will respond to population
growth in the next 25 years. It is
the tool for aligning spending,
regulations, and Metro programs to shape improvements
in the quality of life, so that
new development and redevelopment aligns with community
values.
The plan presented zoning
changes, alternative subdivisions and diverse infrastructure projects. Six key factors
shaped the design of the plan:
protect environmental areas,
complete transit network,
household affordability, activity centers, strategic corridors
and enhance character of overall county. Affordable housing
was particularly emphasized
due to the rising demand for
middle housing types by the
soon-to-be
retired
baby
boomers and young millennials.
The plan recommends focusing on a couple dozen centers of
activity across the county
where it would be pedestrianfriendly with frequent transit
service that contains a dense
mix of homes, shops, jobs, and
parks, as well as services,
schools and cultural amenities.
It also recommends a high
capacity
transit
network,
including new routes, such as
the BRT and BRT Lite. And
finally, the plan comments on
the need to keep special impact
areas, for example airports,
landfills and industrial plants,
away from residential areas.
In Green Hills, the plan recommends changing Bowling
Avenue,
Kenner
Avenue,
Battlefield Drive and Hillsboro
Pike residential areas into suburban neighborhood evolving
areas. In layman terms it
means these areas tend to have
aging multi-families, and when
their houses go on the market,
these areas could be redeveloped into missing middle housing, such as bungalows, triplex
buildings and courtyard apartments.
To implement the plan,
NashvilleNext will update the
county’s fourteen Community
Plans, which guide development and preservation decisions across the county. Once
finalized, community members
and officials will use the plan to
provide decisions.
NashvilleNext will be taking
the draft plan to the planning
commission in May.
To weigh in on changes to
the Community plans, go to
maps.nashville.gov/preferredfuture. Then select the community plans tab to comment on
proposed changes.

Goodwill employee of the month for January
After receiving retail and technology training for the
Goodwill Career Solutions, Dudney is now the assistant
supervisor at Goodwill’s downtown location.
For 38 years, James Dudney
worked in the funeral home
business. He was there for people in their hour of need, consoling their sorrows.
But when Dudney lost his
job in 2011, it appeared that no
one would be there for him. He
applied for jobs at numerous
funeral homes without success.
“Due to my age, it seemed
like no one had an opening,” he
said. “So, for five months I was
at home, not knowing what I
would do.”
A friend told Dudney’s wife
about
Goodwill
Career
Solutions, and she suggested he
give it a shot.
At the Rivergate center, he
was introduced to computers.
He also received training in
retail and help updating his
resume. Then, he went home to
wait.
“I waited about four weeks,
and then one day at 1:10 p.m. my
phone rang,” Dudney recalled.
His Goodwill career counselor
asked Dudney if he was ready
to go to work.
“I told her I sure was,” he
said.
Dudney started as a clothes
tagger in one of Goodwill’s
downtown Nashville warehouses. Supervisors quickly recognized his potential, and now
Dudney is an assistant supervisor, responsible for a team that
places more than 12,000 garments on hangers each day.
Dudney said his co-workers
are like family.
“Now, I’m working with people that are happy,” he said.
“It’s like a big family.”

O’Connell launches his campaign for Metro Council, District 19
At the Garden Brunch Café
on Jefferson Street, before an
audience as diverse as their
weekend brunches, Freddie
O’Connell kicked off his campaign for Metro Council in
District 19.
Referencing the now-unified
urban core of Nashville bounded by the district with its
important legacy in North
Nashville, O’Connell said, “I
know the center of the district
might have moved to Broadway,
but the heart of the district is
the intersection of Rosa L.
Parks Boulevard and Jefferson
Street.” That said, O’Connell
sees a future where a vibrant
downtown continues to grow in
peaceful, mutually beneficial
coexistence
with
nearby
neighborhoods.
O’Connell pledged to run a
campaign with a basis in neighborhoods and a focus on quality
growth,
where
character,
affordability, sustainability, and
shared prosperity are considered with intent. “I will always
prefer a structure on a parcel to
a vacant lot. I’m a pro-growth
candidate, but I want our best
growth, not just our fastest,
cheapest growth. What we build
now, while Nashville is hot, is
going to last for a generation or
more. We should be designing
and building with care with an
eye toward maximum flexibility for who will live and work
there using a local workforce
whenever possible.”
Noting that the ballpark at
Sulphur Dell almost didn’t happen, O’Connell stressed the
need for continued civic investment North of Charlotte and
resolved to continue to push for
revitalized Jefferson Street and
Buchanan Street corridors
stretching West out of the 19th
district.
O’Connell also expressed
hope that the communities in
downtown and the Gulch might
start to feel more like neighborhoods even though they don’t
resemble the traditional neighborhoods on the periphery of
downtown. “I want our urban
neighbors—and they are our
neighbors—to be as engaged
and participatory as the rest of
us in the parts of the city
they’ve chosen to call home.
That means more than just
being organized. That means
voting.”
O’Connell also referenced
the work underway by a number of neighbors to create a
stronger strategy for the urban
core with regard to public
schools, acknowledging that
Council would only have a limited say in the matter. Board of
Education
Chair
Sharon
Gentry and Vice Chair Elissa
Kim have districts that overlap
the 19th and leveraging partnerships with that board will be
critical.
With his long history of
work in and support of
improved bicycle, pedestrian,
and
transit
facilities
in
Nashville, mobility and access
issues will also be a dominant
theme of O’Connell’s campaign.
The campaign is banking at
Citizens Bank, the oldest continuously operating minorityowned bank in the nation and
the first minority owned bank
in Tennessee. O’Connell is the
immediate past President of
the Salemtown Neighbors
Neighborhood Association. The
Ready for Freddie Committee
will host its first fundraiser at
the MaD PLaTTeR, which just
celebrated its 25th anniversary
in Germantown, from 5 p.m.
until 7 p.m. on Tuesday,
February 3.
More information about
Freddie’s background is available on his website, www.readyforfreddie.com/about.

Open house in a new age
The open house is a longstanding tactic in residential
real estate, designed to provide
heightened exposure for a
home in minimal time. Now, in
the age of the internet, an
online listing often serves as a
buyer’s first impression of
your home. Many realtors avoid
open houses in today’s market
because buyers would rather
view potential homes from
their computer or smart phone.
However, if marketed correctly,
one never knows when the
right buyer just might stop by.
If you decide to opt for a traditional open house, consult
your realtor on best practices.
They can educate you on the
pros and cons of the open house
in addition to generating promotional ideas. Smart phone
applications, such as Open
Home Pro, can be extremely
helpful in addition to traditional yard signage. Your realtor
will have other ideas depending
on your target market, which
varies by geographical location, home layout and more.
When committing to an open
house, make sure you do it
right. The best way to impress
potential buyers on the spot is
through advance preparation.
Follow these tips for best
results:
First, walk through the
home with your realtor. Absorb
any advice or suggestions they
have for you. Based on their
personal experience and knowledge of current trends, your
realtor can play to your home’s
strengths and help create an
optimal tone for the open
house.
Chances are your realtor
may notice small maintenance
issues that you’ve casually neglected over the years – a loose
door knob here or a faulty light
switch there. Potential buyers
will be searching for red flags
like these, so allow ample time
to make repairs before the open
house. Remember, completion
of small repairs now will result
in getting the best possible
price for your home later.
Of course, deep cleaning is
important before inviting any
hopeful buyers in. Pay special
attention to the floors, as visitors will notice those flaws
immediately. Also, remove personal or controversial items,
such as family photos or a taxidermy animal head, and consider a fresh coat of neutral
paint for prominent walls.
Several areas sellers often
overlook when cleaning include
blinds, garages, closets and outdoor areas such as the back
yard. Even if it’s cold outside,
manicure your outdoor spaces
and stage any patio areas as if
it were summer. Potential buyers want to envision what it
would be like to occupy all sections of the home.
Staging your home for an
audience of buyers is difficult,
so consult your realtor once
again. They’ll be able to help
you with the basics, as well as
provide suggestions for adding
warmth and comfort. Hone in
on the details, like an appealing
table setting or fresh flowers.
Finally, leave the open house
in your real estate agent’s capable hands. The day of the event,
grab the kids and the pets and
go out. You want potential buyers to feel comfortable speaking
freely as they explore their
potential new home. They will
have an easier time picturing
themselves as future residents
if you’re not around.
The open house may be losing steam as a selling tool, but it
could be just the ticket if marketed and executed correctly!

“We do not want to see
women and families in our
state continue to struggle. We
are marching to demonstrate
unity. We are marching to put
pressure on our state’s leaders

meet the needs of women and

she said.
Senator Mae Beavers (Mount
Juliet), Representative Susan
Lynn (Mount Juliet) and
Representative Debra Moody
(Covington) have the intention
of passing several policies concerning abortion, including
informed consent for women
and girls considering abortion,
a waiting period and a requirement that abortion facilities
undergo additional procedures
for proper licensing. The legislators expect that their bills
will be a top priority for the
109th General Assembly; however, the bills are not expected
to be under serious discussion
until February.
“As a result of passing
Amendment 1, Tennesseans
have spoken and we now have
an opportunity and responsibility to begin restoring commonsense balance to this state’s
abortion policy,” said Senator
Beavers, who is sponsoring the
informed consent bill.
Around 60 protestors were
present for Tuesday’s Women’s
March on Nashville. Twenty
state troopers were on hand to
ensure that the demonstration
did not get out of hand, and
they did not prohibit the protestors from exercising their right.
The General Assembly proceeded normally even though the
group of protestors could be
heard inside the legislative
chambers.

Magnolia South brings culinary traditions, historic atmosphere to Nashville
It is no secret that Nashville is
“Music City, U.S.A.,” but in
recent years, the city has also
developed a reputation for its
unique restaurants. Magnolia
South, located at 1808 Hayes
Street, has recently joined the
ranks and aims at delivering a
fine dining experience that stays
true to Nashville’s culture.
The idea for Magnolia South,
a locally run restaurant that
pays homage to Nashville’s culinary past, came to fruition long
before partners Kimberly Storch
and Chef Sean Barger found the
architectural embodiment of
their idea in the building on
Hayes Street. Dating back to
1890, the building has served as a
family residence, a boarding
house and doctor’s office over
the course of its 124-year history.
For the past 65 years, Briarpatch
Catering’s Griffith family has
owned the building.
“We spent, collectively, a lot of
time researching the time period. We even pulled paint pallets
from the time period to make
sure we were hitting the right
notes and the right feel for what
we were creating,” admits
Storch. “It was very important
for us to stay true to the era and
the history of the home.”
The recent renovations perfectly capture the essence of
Magnolia South. Four separate
dining rooms, original fire-
places, high ceilings, transom
windows and historic pieces of
art and photographs that reflect
the building’s history make for
an enchanting atmosphere for
whiling away the hours over
delicious, traditional food.
“We fell in love with the building and decided to go however
many miles it took to restore it,”
says Barger. “We both [Barger
and Storch] have a love for history, and we both have a love of
food. This building came full circle for us. It was the historical
match for Magnolia South.”
Executive Chef Sean Barger
excels at elevated Southern cuisine. He states that many of his
recipes pre-date the Civil War
and his own family’s Southern
recipes inspire several dishes,
including Magnolia South’s
cucumber salad. The menu continually changes with Barger’s
creativity and as he finds inspiration in ingredients everyday.
His cooking philosophy is “simple things done perfectly.”
Barger
grew
up
in
Summertown and got his first
shot as a culinary artist at The
Little Dipper 20 years ago.
Owner Juannice Hannah actually fired Barger and told him to go
to culinary arts school. Barger
notes that he loves to feed people
who like to eat and Magnolia
South’s portions express this.
There are no “one tablespoon”
Growing up in Summertown, Chef Sean Barger cultivated his love for Southern food and
cooking at a young age. He and Storch aim to give diners an authentic experience, from the
cuisine to the Reconstruction Era house that is Magnolia South’s home.
portions coming to the table in
this restaurant. And while the
menu does change, there are
some staples that serve as the
foundation of their offerings.
Barger’s Shrimp and Grits is
an Iron Fork favorite and Ed’s
Brined Pork Chops with
Prichard’s Rum Apples is named
for Storch’s father’s adoration of
the dish.
“When you come and eat here,
you are going to have an authentic Southern experience,” said
Storch. “There may be twists
here and there, but it’s coming
from a true place. There are no
standardized recipe cards in the
kitchen.”
What sets Magnolia South a
part from the recent explosion of
restaurants popping up in
Nashville is their passion for the
local history and their desire to
incorporate that into their
menu.
“Every single room has our
blood, sweat and tears on the
floor. The house wrote the menu
itself,” said Barger. “We’re here
from Nashville for Nashville.
We’d love to have anyone that
supports that vision. Local
ingredients, local food ... made
by locals.”
Magnolia South is located at
1808 Hayes Street, 37203. The
restaurant is open for lunch
Tuesday though Friday from
11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; dinner Tuesday
through Thursday 5 p.m. to
10 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday
5 p.m. until 11 p.m.; and brunch
on Saturday and Sunday from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information, call 615-840-6167 or visit

Don’t ruin the memory of Opryland for us
I recently found out that
Opry Mills Mall is changing its
name to Simon Mills. Not only
does this sound like my crush
in fourth grade, it is eradicating
the history of that site:
Opryland. Opryland is still an
object of considerable nostalgia
for Tennesseans in general. It
was bad enough that they got
rid of our amusement park
with the promises of another,
but they changed their plans.
Instead, we get a massive mall,
which has its perks. That’s true.
17,000. This caller needs to
understand that unless he is
very, very rich ... his middle
class retirement will be gone
when the economy tanks. So
yeah, Obama does have things
in ruin. Thank you.
We have added an e-mail address for Ticked Off! Send your comments to tickedoff@gcanews.com
But to completely get rid of the
name just for the sake of pleasing the parent company is
ridiculous. Do these companies
not understand that by invok-
ing an emotional memory they
would be much more inclined to
get the shoppers attention ... for
example, money??
Coyotes
This is something serious
that Metro Animal Control
needs to get a handle on right
away!
Whether we have little ones two legged or four legged - it
cannot continue. Two of my
friends in Southern California
lost their cats and witnessed the
horrible death of their loved
ones. We need to band together
and let Metro know they need to
stop these animals now!

of very high gas prices. This is

“quantitative easing,” which
artificially inflates the Dow.

Don’t pour in parking
lots
I was just calling to comment
that in this cold weather, everyone needs to be careful when
they pour their drinks out in
parking lots. A senior citizen
(or anyone) could accidentally
step out and slip on the frozen
drink. I know a lady who
slipped and broke her hip
because of this. Please, during
cold weather, don’t pour liquids
out in parking lots and create a
patch of ice.
Thank you, NFD
As a regular reader of your
column, I appreciate the occasional good news letters. Thank
you for the rapid, professional
response of the Nashville Fire
Department, Engine Co. 20 on

life was saved last week. Public
servants workers are usually
taken for granted until we need
their help. They are the true
heroes of our community.
Thank you.
Dickens disrespect
As I watched the moving and
lovely celebration service for
Little Jimmy Dickens, I was
once again moved by the
tremendous disrespect displayed by some of the celebrants. As is the case too often,
the older, truly professionals
came to the stage dressed and
groomed appropriately for the
occasion. Other artists came to
the stage dressed and appearing
as disrespectful and unkept as if
they had just come in from the
streets in rumpled and dirty
looking attire and personal
grooming. I keep being amazed
that so many will pay their
money over and over to performers who do not respect
their fans or their selves
enough to dress and groom for
their professional appearances.
It is disgusting that the fans
allow such disrespect.
Thanks!
Though I'm ticked off about
a number of things, I'm no
longer ticked off about the lack
of a crossword puzzle in the
your newspaper. Thank you for
putting back the puzzle, one of
life's little pleasures restored.

My light’s not out, sir
I am ticked off at the Metro
cop that pulled me over to tell
me that I had a brake light out.
I took the car in, and there was
no light out. I don’t know if he
was picking on me or what. But
I just want to say “Bless your
heart” because no light was out.
Diesel is too high
I’m answering in response to
the person who wants to know
why the gas price is coming
down, but the grocery price is
going up. This is a pretty easy
one for me, as the mother of a
truck driver. Diesel is still outrageously high. Everything
that we have comes to us on an
18-wheeler ... clothes, food,
appliances. As long as we have
our goods delivered on these
trucks and the run on diesel,
things are going to remain
high. I personally would rather
pay more for gas and see them
drop that diesel price, so it is
easier to live. Diesel is a byproduct of making gasoline, so
there’s no reason to make it so
high. It does not cost them any
more money to produce diesel
than it does to make gas.
There’s no reason it should be
that high.
I can’t reach
I was in a grocery store last
weekend. The store was
absolutely filthy. The shelves
were empty, no one was restocking, and several items that I
wanted to purchase were so far
back that I could not reach
them. You would never find this
at other grocery stores. Wake
up.
ermen and women work very
long, difficult, odd hours to
report on local forecasts. If you
were awake before noon, you
would see the weather report
splattered across all local channels every single morning. And
if you can’t seem to wake up
early enough for the weather
report, just look on the front
cover of The News! It has the
weekly forecast, including easy
to identify suns and rain
clouds.
Where is the sun?
I’m ticked off at the weather.
It has rained almost everyday,
without even the possibility of
snow ... I could bear freezing
temperatures and slight ice on
the roadways if we just had
some snow. Snow means days of
at work, and who doesn’t like
that! Rain means ... just rain.
So, please Mr. White Christmas,
bring Nashville some much
needed snow (and R&R).
Burger Up
I’m ticked off at one particular Burger King! Just the other
day I was going through the
drive-thru and when they were
about to give me my order, the
cashier grabbed some napkins
and wiped the counter right
before placing them into the
bag! Glad I had no fries with my
order and everything was all
wrapped up. Still, why do that?
Save Green Hills
Let’s talk about the recent
TGHAP meeting. We were all
there to discuss the 25 year plan
for Green Hills. Instead, it was a
platform for people who had
any and all complaints concerning Green Hills. I’m all for having your voice heard, but let’s
stay on task.
We do not want any new
development. Please listen to
us. The neighborhood is prosperous (and congested enough)
as it is. Additionally, we have no
desire for our local high school
(Hillsboro) to be turned into a
mixed use development with
retail space. If there is any
space left over (which there
shouldn’t be if we continue to
grow the way our higher-ups
are insisting), we want it to be
used for a green space.
We have no desire for an
AMP or any rapid transportation in Green Hills. Have you
looked outside? Where would
such a transportation unit go?
Above the gridlock traffic?
Below? Great! Let’s go ahead
and shut down this whole area
for a few months (or years)
while you guys build such a
thing. Sounds wonderful.
Do you want people to stop
being run over in Green Hills?
Give them a proper place to
walk. There are no safe sidewalks for students who walk to
Lipscomb University or any of
the
other
neighborhood
schools. I can’t walk to the Hill
Center or The Mall at Green
A BRAND NEW, STATE OF THE ART, FITNESS FACILITY
LOCATED IN BELLE MEADE.
Hills. Sure, there are sidewalks
around such structures, but
how can we safely walk there?
Stop bringing in development until you have adequately
demonstrated that you are capable of handling the commercial
growth and population that
Green Hills currently has. This
is not unreasonable, but
instead, a wise way to handle
the planning and management
of any city.
Downtown parking
Heading to the Predators
game tonight. Better get $50 out
of the ATM so I can park my car
for three hours. Sorry kids, no
groceries this week. I gotta see
my hockey.
Horn happy
I don’t understand why people have to use their car horns
so much. I startle easily. My
nerves are shot. Driving is a
stressful enough experience
without having to deal with
loud horns all the time. If there
is an immediate threat or a
warning needs to be issued, I
understand. If you are just
angry or frustrated, join the
club. Lay off your horn. There
is no reason to scare everyone
in your immediate vicinity.
Take a chill pill.

Carpetbaggers
I’m ticked off at the ownership of the Titans. If it isn’t bad
enough that they gave us a terrible team this year after spending money on free agents ...
they raised our ticket prices,
concession prices, the price of
parking. But above all else, they
couldn’t send out holiday greeting cards. Bah humbug. They
need to learn a lesson from the
Predators, who are a well run
organization and put their loyal
fans first instead of the
almighty dollar. But when you
have
carpetbaggers
from
Houston trying to run the team,
I guess that’s what we can
expect.

Druʼs Vues, too
By Drucilla Smith
Historic train wreck remembered
in Betsy Thorpe’s new novel
Dutchman's Curve: Betsy
Thorpe styles herself "The
Train Wreck Lady" on her
blog. Her dramatic history
titled "The Day the Whistles
Cried" has raised this community's consciousness about the
worst train disaster ever. Over
100 died in the so-called
Dutchman's Curve tragedy 97
years ago when two trains
crashed head-on on a dangerous curve over Richland
Creek.
Thorpe saw a brief reference to the 1918 train wreck in
a history of West Nashville.
She found there was no historical marker so she pursued the
marker through the Metro
Historical Commission, finally raising the money herself to
obtain the commemorative
plaque seen on Whitebridge
Pike today. The Commission
placed the marker at the site in
2008 on the 90th anniversary of
the train wreck. Her research
on the tragedy culminated in
"The Day the Whistles Cried."
Later, Thorpe learned that
“Dutchman” was actually a
widely-used misnomer for the
site. The sign should have
read “Deutschmann” to refer
to the German (not Dutch)
rock cutters who built the railroad.
Much of the death and
destruction happened on the
so-called "Jim Crow" wooden
rail cars loaded primarily with
African Americans on the
front of the train. These share
croppers had short term contracts to work between crops
in Dupont Power plant near
Nashville. More than 600 passengers were aboard the two
trains at the time of the crash.
Documented deaths numbered
more than 100 and many others were injured.
Though the L&N Railroad
had built the rail lines, the
government was actually running the railroad at the time of
the wreck.

transportation had been taken
over by the government in 1917
for World War I.
The engineer on the
Nashville train did not have
permission to use the single
track upon which the train
from Memphis was already
traveling at the same time. As
a result, the two trains crashed
at 7:20 a.m. July 9, 1918. The
beneficiaries' resulting court
cases went all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court before all
were settled.
Thorpe's book as well as her
Author Betsy Thorpe recently signed her book, "The Day the
Whistles Cried," for Green Hills Rotarian Jim Easter.

Welch College has signed a
contract to sell its campus on
West End Avenue to Forestar
Group Inc, an Austin, Texas
based real estate firm.
The college currently occupies 7.6 acres and is selling 7.14
acres for $12 million. The lot
containing the Welch Library is
not included in the sale.
Matt Pinson, president of
Welch College, said, “We were
founded here 72 years ago as
Free Will Baptist Bible College,
long before the area became one
of Nashville’s most appealing
neighborhoods. We recognize
the pride our neighbors have in
this community and are happy
to have found a buyer that
intends to engage in meaningful dialogue with them about
future plans for the property.”
Welch College was founded
72 years ago in the RichlandWest End Area. Representatives
of the college and Forestar plan
to meet during the next few
weeks with Metro Councilman
Jason Holleman and neighborhood leaders to initiate discussions and to set a framework for
identifying and addressing
community concerns. The college is also working with the
Metro Historical Commission
regarding the Welch Library,
the stone wall along Richland
and Craighead Avenues and
other historical features of the
property.
Pinson said, “We are pleased
with the purchase price and are
delighted to be under contract
with Forestar. This firm is
noted for taking a smart
approach to master planned
neighborhoods that are aligned
with the needs of the larger
community.”
Brentwood-based
Land
Innovations assisted the college
with land use analysis and
worked with Sisco and Farris, a
L A N D
local real estate firm, to match
the property’s highest uses
with a qualified buyer.
The college will continue to
operate at its current location
until construction is complete
on its new 66-acre campus in
Sumner County. The college
purchased the property in 2008
to accommodate the school’s
growth in academic offerings
and enrollment.
The contract calls for a June
2015 closing. Before that time,
the buyers will complete
inspections and perform other
due diligence related to the purchase of the campus.
Welch College was established in 1942 as Free Will
Baptist Bible College in a single
building on Richland Avenue.
In 2012, the college changed its
name to Welch College to signify its development into a comprehensive Christian college.

Signal Hill is a wonderful family street in Belle Meade that is four minutes from either Green hills or the Belle Meade Plaza. Centrally located in Belle Meade, this home is in the block between Lynnwood and Westview just south of Glen Eden . You will enjoy
the beauty of this old , established street as well as its convenience to shopping and play. My clients loved this home the minute
that they entered it- it was the perfect home for their growing family. Now , in California, they are offering their house for sale.
I am tickled to present this beautiful home to you.
This three level four bedroom, four and a half bath homes faces North on Signal Hill. Built in 1999, this home has had one
owner. Upon entering this French style home, you will notice the gorgeous wide plank hardwood floors that take you form the
spacious entrance hall to the dining room and living room. in keeping with the French style of the home, the fireplace surround
in both the living room and the den are carved limestone. The ceiling heights on the main level of the home are ten feet tall, the
second story and the basement level of the home has nine foot ceilings. The kitchen of this home has custom made wood cabinetry . There is a center island with gas burners. the butler's walk to the dining room has its own sink and plating area with electrical outlets for warming. The kitchen opens to the family den and the outside terrace and playground area.
The second level of the home has the master bedroom suite with his and her closets and vanity areas. Marble floors ground
the sophisticated bathing area. There are two additional bedrooms on this level. Each has a walk in closet and full bath. The laundry room with soaking sink is also on this level o f the home. There is a pull down stairwell to the attic for additional storage.
The ground level of the home has a
My favorite features of this home:
pedestrian door from the exterior of the
home to the two car garage and generous
storage area. Also on this level is an office,
a playroom or fourth bedroom, and a full
bath.

This 2013 French Country home has views of the Eastern Hills of Williamson County and the southern view of the Annandale
lake. Walk from your four bedroom home down the sidewalks to the Annandale pool, just on the other side of the lake. Enjoy the
life of living on a slow cul de sac while being near the entrance of this sought after Subdivision of Brentwood. Designed and built
by the current owner, this home has three bedrooms on the main level. My faMy favorite feature of this home: vorite feature of this home is the wide screened porch with tongue in groove
ceiling. You can access this porch form not on ly the master bedroom but also
the family room. The ceilings of this homes are ten feet. The wood beams in
the kitchen give a nod to the French country style of the home. The living
room is just off of the family room and closed off by sold sliding doors. The
laundry room and private office are on this level of the home. The master bedroom wall of windows looks over the hills and valley ; the master bath and
15x15 foot closet are divine.
ON this level is a wide garage accessible to main body of the house by two
steps.
On the ground level of the home is a five car garage, a fourth bedroom
and full bath and a ball room. Yes, a ball room. The current owner of this home
is a studied ball room dancer. We have left the space as a dance space in case
there is a ballerina in the next family, but there are endless possibilities for this
generous, generous well lit space. You will find your self twirling in front of
the mirror ad doing a jete- just because you can! I look forward to showing this
property to you- it is truly pretty- Jodie
