Can you afford to live in
Nashville? Will that change for
the better or the worse five
years from now?
Six months ahead of the
August election, the eight
declared candidates vying to
become Nashville’s next mayor
gathered recently to address
similar questions related to economic growth and affordable
housing in Davidson County.
The public forum, hosted by
the downtown Christ Church
Cathedral, drew about 200 participants from the community.
Candidates took turns answering pre-selected questions during the hour-long discussion.
Candidates
participating
included Davidson County
Criminal Court Clerk and former vice mayor Howard Gentry,
Jr, at-large Metro Council member Megan Barry, attorney
Charles Robert Bone, automobile dealer consultant Kenneth
Eaton, former Metro School
Board chairman David Fox, real
estate developer Bill Freeman,
charter school founder Jeremy
Kane, and businesswoman
Linda Eskind-Rebrovik.
Housing affordability and
homelessness topped the list of
concerns for many in attendance. While Nashville has
experienced unprecedented economic growth in recent years,
rising rents and diminished
Section 8 housing choice vouchers in Davidson County have led
to an increase in those who find
themselves homeless or unstably housed.
Housing choice vouchers
refer to the federal government's program assisting lowincome families, the elderly, and
the disabled in affording private
market housing of their choosing. Vouchers are administered
through public housing agencies. In Nashville, that responsibility lies with the Metropolitan
Housing and Development
Agency (MDHA).

Housing affordability
and homelessness
topped the list of
concerns for many of
the 200 who attended.
“If I missed a paycheck, I just
might wind up on the streets,”
said Briana Farris, who lives in
Inglewood and commutes by
bus to an office job downtown.
“My rent goes up but my
income doesn’t. It’s hard to live
that way.”
Conservative estimates put
the homeless count in Davidson
County at around 2,300, though
the number is likely much higher. Almost 20 percent of
Nashville’s population live
below the poverty level.
Each candidate addressed
the issue by outlining his or her
plans
to
help
expand
Nashville’s low-income housing
inventory while still promoting
economic growth. There was
broad-based support among the
candidates for providing tax
incentives for developers to
encourage the creation of new
affordable
units,
but
all
acknowledged that new construction was only part of the
solution.
“Fund it, build it, retain it,
preserve it,” offered Barry, who

session of the 109th General

Chamber.

have been created in Tennessee
since
2011.
Additionally,
Tennessee holds the designation of “State of the Year” in
economic development for an
unprecedented second year in a
row.
“Tennessee leads the country in academic achievement
gains
and
through
the
Tennessee Promise is the first
state ever to promise high
school graduates two years at a
community or technical college
free of tuition and fees,” the
governor said. “This year, out of
65,000 high school seniors,
58,000 applied for the Tennessee
Promise and 9,200 adult
Tennesseans signed up to be
volunteer mentors for these students.”
Haslam also emphasized the
importance of education in
Tennessee – K-12 and higher.
“I truly believe that getting
education right is critical to the
well-being of our state – today
and in the future,” he said. “We
have to keep going full speed
ahead. We can’t afford to go
backwards. We’ve come too far
to sell ourselves short. It would
be an injustice to our students,
to our teachers, to Tennessee
families and to ourselves.”
He underscored the state’s
efforts to ensure a strong workforce through a focus on work-
“I stand here tonight to tell you that the state of
our state is enviable in many ways. There are a lot
of good things happening in Tennessee, and
theyʼre being recognized in significant ways
across the country.”

force development and his
Drive to 55 initiative that aims
to raise the percentage of
Tennesseans with a certificate
or degree beyond high school
from 32 to 55 by the year 2025.
Part of that effort is the
Tennessee Promise.
The governor also outlined
his budget proposal for Fiscal
Year 2015-2016, which reflects
$300 million in revenue growth,
$500 million in cost increases
and $200 million in reductions.
Gov. Haslam said that the
limited amount of new money
that is available each year
rarely keeps pace with budget
obligations and growing cost
for education and health care.
“That is why it is so important that our state has built a
track
record
of
fiscal
restraint,” he stated, “That is
why we have to try different
approaches that will help us
keep costs down while increasing quality and outcomes in
health care.”
In addition to education
funding across the board, the
budget calls for $48 million for
state employees’ pay raises and
compensation tied to performance and ongoing market
adjustments and $36.5 million
dollars for the Rainy Day Fund
to bring it to $528 million.
Democrats respond to State of the State
Following Gov. Bill Haslam’s
State of the State address
before a joint session of the
109th General Assembly earlier
this week, members of the
Senate Democratic Caucus
addressed concerns about
affordable health care for
everyone, continued support
for education and offering
assistance for the state’s working people.
Senate Democratic Caucus
Chairman Jeff Yarbro said that
making health care affordable
for everyone is the most important issue facing the state.
“We need the governor and
common sense legislators of
both parties to come together
around a plan,” Yarbro stated.
“I am confident that Insure
Tennessee will be introduced
during this session.”
“Our state is making
extraordinary gains in education, and I would be very trou-
bled to see that progress stop
over one party's partisan political
objections,”
Senate
Minority Leader Lee Harris
said. “We need to continue to
support the highest standards
for our students and keep up
the progress we've made.”
House Democratic Leader
Craig Fritzhugh (D-Ripley) said
that while he is pleased to hear
teachers are finally getting the
raise they were promised last
year, “I didn’t hear much about
helping the working people of
our state just a week after this
body denied them health care.
We’re still not talking about
paid family leave, overtime
compensation and parental
involvement
in
schools.
Democrats think we need a
more middle-class outward
approach and that’s what you’ll
see from us over the next few
weeks.”
Interstate signs to feature 5 new safety messages

TPAC.ORG is the official online source for buying tickets to TPAC events.
While traveling along the
state’s major interstates – and
soe rural areas – motorists can
view Dynamic Message signs
provided by the Tennessee
Department of Transportation
(TDOT).
The main purpose of the
signs is to alert motorists of
incidents, lane blockages, hazardous road conditions or
Amber Alerts, according to
TDOT officials. During off-peak
travel times, safety messages
are displayed.
Recently, TDOT held a contest that resulted in almost 3,400
message entries. For two weeks,
more than 9,000 votes were cast
for the 15 messages – covering
issues such as distracted driving, seatbelt usage, impaired
driving, speeding and aggressive driving – that were selected
as finalists.
The top five messages are:
• “Texting and driving? Oh
cell no!”
• “Exit to text it.”
• “It’s Tennessee. Slow down
and enjoy the view.”
• “Hey you! Yeah you! Hang
up and drive!”
• “Tailgating is for the game,
not the road.”
These messaged will be
placed in rotation to run
throughout the year across the
state, according to TDOT officials.

Sarah Stringfellow
Staff Writer
Landmark Realty Services
Group has officially announced
its plans for Graymont, a nineacre, 28-lot single-family home
community with frontage off
Woodmont Boulevard, Graybar
Lane and Hopkins Street.
Construction began in January,
and is set for completion in fall
of 2015.
“Graymont will offer the
best of both worlds,” said
Steven Ezell, president of
Landmark. “Residents will be a
block away from the activity of
Green Hills and will enjoy the
privacy and green space of a
classic neighborhood when
they return home.”
The homes will range
between 3,600 and 5,000 square
feet, and will be priced starting
at $800,000. The neighborhood
will feature landscaping, sidewalks, hidden motor courts,
private rear yards and an alley
system to house the garage
door.
“We acquired the Graymont
property and designed the site
with a long-term vision in
mind,” said Ezell. “We want to
work with buyers to ensure that
they are receiving a home that
they will love, but we also want
to maintain a level of control so
that streetscapes have consistency, price points are sustainable, and construction timelines are effectively managed.”
Brookdale Green Hills Cumberland offers
in-home visits through “10,000 Heart to Hearts”
n Cardiac disease kills more women than all cancers combined
Many women don’t realize
as they age they become more
likely to develop heart disease.
To combat this health issue,
a team from Brookdale Green
Hills Cumberland is fanning
out to personally alert area
women age 65 and older to their
increased risk disease and provide resources to fight it. This
effort is part of “10,000 Heart to
Hearts,” a nationwide initiative
with the goal of reaching 10,000
older women across the country. The 10,000 Heart to Hearts
program began at the start of
February, which is American
Heart Month.
“Cardiac disease kills more
women than all cancers combined, but a lot of older women
don’t realize how dangerous it
is,” said Brookdale Chief
Medical Officer Kevin O’Neil,
M.D., F.A.C.P, said. “On average, women develop heart disease 10 years later than men,
with their first heart attack
occurring at the age of 70.”
He said this cardiac disease
risk begins rising during
menopause when the body
reduces production of estrogen, a hormone believed to benefit arteries. By their 70s, most
women have high blood pressure.
“Aging makes it harder to
cope with cardiac disease’s
impact,” Dr. O’Neil added.
“Three-quarters of
senior
women who survive heart
attacks are not able to resume
their normal lives. However,
women
can
dramatically
reduce their cardiac risk
regardless of their age by
embracing healthy habits.”
He noted that a study recently published in the Journal of
the American College of
Cardiology shows lifestyle
changes can reduce a woman’s
likelihood of disease by 90 percent.
“They include stopping
smoking, eating a diet low in
saturated fats, exercising moderately for half an hour a day,
limiting alcohol consumption
and maintaining a body mass
index under 25,” Dr. O’Neil
said.
Watching television for no
more than seven hours a week
is also associated with better
cardiac health.
Through the “10,000 Heart to
Hearts” initiative, professionals with Brookdale Green Hills
Cumberland will visit senior
women in their homes to
explain the risk, check their
blood pressure, discuss measures for healthier lifestyles,
provide Brookdale’s hearthealthy cookbook and connect
them with resources. There is
no charge for the visits.
“Our goal is to have a candid, heart-to-heart discussion
with each woman about the
importance of the issue and
help them take the steps needed
to address it,” Brookdale Green
Hills Cumberland Executive
Director Donna Adlington said.
To schedule an in-home
“10,000 Heart to Hearts” visit,

Tennessee Bank and Trust is
financing construction. Allard
Ward Architects, Stephen Wells
House and Garden Design, and

Donelson church builds community through “little somethings”
Tiffany L. Dale
Staff Writer
“Faith in action.”
That was Debbie Byrd’s
vision for a local church’s
homeless ministry when she set
out to create a different way of
serving those in need.
Her idea: build a day program to serve homeless and
low-income individuals in their
own community.
Every Thursday around
lunch time, volunteers at
Andrew Price Memorial
United
Methodist
Church, the self-styled
“Church in the Curve”
on Lebanon Road, staff a
ministry with a simple
mission: love and serve
thy neighbor.
A hot meal and a to-go
lunch are the tangibles
awaiting guests at Rest
in the Curve, a program
that
began
last
November and serves inneed
residents
of
Donelson
and
Hermitage.
Visitors arrive at the
church by bus and bike;
some come on foot. Some
are homeless, but most
are Donelson’s working
poor—sometimes they
bring their children. If
they need a meal for
other friends, family
members or neighbors,
Volunteer Jane Beavon prepares to they get that, too.

Drugs seized, 40 arrested
during weekend gang bust
Operation Safer Streets, the
Metro Police Department’s antigang initiative, netted 40 arrests
during last weekend’s drug
sting. Pounds of illegal drugs
were also seized during the twoday operation.
According to police reports,
the bust, which took place
Friday and Saturday, resulted in
28 misdemeanors and 11 felony
charges. In all, officers seized
nearly three pounds of marijuana, 17 grams of cocaine and four
grams of heroine.
At least three times a week,
officers and supervisors representing each of the eight
precincts and the Specialized
Investigations Division (SID)
partner together to implement
strategies to combat gang crime
and activities in various areas
of Nashville.
Last weekend’s team consisted of 36 SID detectives, supervisors and patrol officers, including two canine officers spread
over the weekend. Targeted
areas included Elm Hill Pike,
Bell Road, Lafayette Street,
Charlotte Pike, University
Court and Harding Place.
To date, Operation Safer
Streets has resulted in 261
arrests and more than 1,700
vehicles stops in the targeted
areas. Among the charges were
24 felonies and 226 misdemeanors.
Due to the growing gang
problem on the streets of
Nashville with gangs such as
Kurdish Pride, MS-13, Bloods,
and Crips, MPD uses Operation
Safer Streets as surveillance in
Nashville neighborhoods with
gang presence.
When it began in 2008, the
Safer Street’s team had only 14
officers who worked Friday,
Saturday, and Sunday. These 14
officers patrolled in areas with
a high concentration of gang
activity.
Everyone who comes to be
served is served, something
Byrd, who also serves as the
church’s secretary, believes is
important in cultivating the
community the ministry strives
to create.
She insists that the program
isn’t a charity nor a substitute
for the more widely known
Room in the Inn program,
which provides emergency
shelter to those experiencing
homelessness during the winter.
She said her faith was tested
but strengthened by naysayers
who told her the program wasn’t necessary in the suburbs
and that people wouldn’t come.
The program has grown from
one guest on the first day to an
average of seven per week.
“We can all do a little something and it makes a big something. If we help just one soul,
it’s worth it,” said Byrd.
Though free Bibles are available and a “quiet room” is provided for meditation or prayer,
“conversion” isn’t the goal and
has no active part in the ministry. That welcoming spirit
extends to volunteers as well.
In fact, a local homeless man
provides “security” for the program, which is held in the
church’s basement.
“We believe we show our
faith by caring for people where
they are,” volunteer Jane
Beavon explained.
Byrd hopes to see the yearround program expand to
include one Saturday per
month and to provide additional services such as resume writing, computer access, shower
and laundry service and on-site
social workers. A community
garden is planned for the
spring.

What Nashville features
homebuyers want in 2015
If you read The Lipman
Group blog, you know that our
team of expert realtors recently
revealed
which
features
Nashville home buyers want
most in 2015. Realtors spend
time with clients and qualified
home buyers every day, and we
hear what qualities are desirable within the Nashville market in real time.
In previous columns, we’ve
discussed how important it is to
be aware of these trends and
most-wanted features, especially if you know you’re not in a
forever home. As you make
repairs and improvements to
your property, review current
and past lists of popular features to serve as guidelines.
This is a tried-and-true way to
see encouraging ROI on home
improvement
investments
when it comes time to sell.
The first feature our expert
realtors are noticing is a desire
for a technologically savvy
home. We discussed the pros
and cons of a few smart home
systems last year, and there’s
no doubt that new gadgets and
technology will be introduced
in 2015. Particularly as millennials continue to enter the
home buying market, the era of
the smart home is upon us.
Of course, this is not just a
need in Nashville. According to
a survey by HGTV, 46 percent of
consumers say it’s important
for “their current home or the
next home they purchase to
have smart home technology.”
What’s more is that they’re not
solely interested for the security benefits. Homeowners are
equally interested in the comfort and cost savings that a
smart home provides.
Second, Nashville home buyers are searching for a place
where they can spread out – literally. A demand for outdoor
living space is on the rise, and
local buyers love the roof-top
decks being built in new developments. Lipman realtors have
found that the more patios and
porches the better.
This trend also mimics a
national movement into the
great outdoors. In fact, when
residential design pros were
asked by the American Society
of Landscape Architects to rate
the popularity of outdoor
design features in 2014, outdoor
kitchens and entertainment
spaces came in second behind
general landscaping. Living
and dining rooms aren’t just for
inside anymore.
Finally, a true remodeling
staple that always offers an
impressive amount of bang for
your buck: the kitchen. A welldesigned, beautiful and efficient kitchen is always a sought
after selling point.
According to the 2015 Cost
vs. Value report, the average
pay back on a kitchen remodel
is 79.3 percent. In luxury neighborhoods, our team has found
that Nashville buyers are willing to pay more for better appliances, such as a SubZero refrigerator, so be mindful of this if
you replace any of those big
ticket items.
Nashville’s housing market
has its own unique rhythm, so
before you make your next
remodeling move, be sure to
educate yourself about local
and national industry trends.
You may even consider consulting a realtor to get the most upto-date information for your
area. Strategic planning and
upgrades will ensure that you
get top dollar for your home if
and when you decide to sell.

January home sales best in 8 years
Spring is just a few weeks
away and with it comes spring
fever – when people begin to
seriously think about buying a
new home. For home owners,
that means getting their home
ready for a “For Sale” sign to be
placed in the front yard.
January home sales were the
best they’ve been in eight years,
Greater Nashville Association
of Realtors (GNAR) President
Cindy Stanton said.
“While our market began
making positive strides in 2013,
last year was monumental in
establishing a stronger foundation for our market,” Stanton
said. “This was the strongest
January our market has experi-
enced since 2007.”
Home closings for January
were up 11.1 percent when compared to the same period last
year.
Stanton said that these numbers reflect a strong market;
however,
“challenges
still
remain. The biggest being the
low level of inventory. This is
particularly true of the firsttime buyer and affordable markets. However, moving into the
spring selling season we expect
to see more available properties
appearing on the market.”
Inventory, which includes
residential,
condominiums,
multi-family
and
farms/land/lots, at the end of
January was 12,663, compared
with 13,962 in January 2014.
Numbers released by GNAR
show that there were 2,204 sales
pending at the end of the month,
compared with 1,979 pending
sales at this time last year. The
average number of days on the
market for a single-family home
was 76 days.
The median residential price
for a single-family home during
January was $215,000 and for a
condominium it was $172,250.
This compares with last year’s
median residential and condominium prices of $195,000 and
$165,000, respectively..

Taxing
Matters
By Jim Wilson, CPA
IRAʼs and required minimum distribution
Recently, my clients who have
reached 70 years of age have been
confused about the Required
Minimum Distribution (RMD) from
IRA accounts. This requirement
forces senior citizens to pay a proportional tax based on their longevity
(death projection).
When you reach age 70 1/2 you
must begin taking money from your
tax-deferred retirement accounts,
such as a traditional individual
retirement account, workplace 401(k)
or self-employed retirement plans.
Those funds have been protected
from tax and of course the Service
would like to collect tax from the distribution of those funds. The IRS has
created tables to calculate these
annual withdrawals, known as
required minimum distributions, or
RMDs. They use longevity data and
are designed to ensure that most of
your retirement benefits are paid to
you during your lifetime. Although
RMDs are triggered once you turn 70
1/2, you get a few months before first
required withdrawal is due. You have
until April 1 of the year that follows
the calendar year you turn 70 1/2,
which is six calendar months after
your 70th birthday.
Now the question everyone is ask-
ing, why withdraw? If you don't need
the money, you don't want to pay
taxes on any withdrawals and you're
leaving your account untouched, why
worry about it? Failure to withdraw
triggers an excess accumulation tax.
This levy is 50 percent of the
required distribution that you didn't
take. For example, you didn't withdraw the required $1,000 from your
traditional IRA. The tax charge for
your defiance is $500. For a taxpayer
in the 25 percent income tax bracket,
that's twice what you would have paid
in taxes if you'd simply followed the
RMD rule. If you can convince the
IRS that your distribution shortfall
was due to “reasonable error” and
that you're taking steps to rectify the
situation, the agency could waive the
penalty. In that case, file Form 5329
(part VIII), go ahead and pay the
excess accumulation tax and attach a
letter of explanation. If the IRS
agrees that you shouldn't be penalized, it will refund the excess tax.
Determining your distribution is
not difficult. If you have accepted
that you must start siphoning off
your retirement fund. Now, it's
important to find out just how much
money you have to withdraw.
The IRS has created three tables
based on life expectancies to figure
the minimum withdrawal amount,
which is a percentage of your IRA
based on your age, and these can be
found in IRS Publication 590. The
publication
is
available
at
www.irs.gov.
Retirement-plan beneficiaries use
the first table. Married account owners with spouses more than 10 years
younger use the second table.
Because its calculations incorporate
the younger age of the spouse to
spread withdrawals over a longer life
expectancy, these account owners
don't have to take out as much.
Most account holders use Table 3,
known as the uniform lifetime table.
It is for singles and married savers
with spouses closer to their own ages.
The IRS has revised calculations in
this table to reflect today's longer life
spans. Under the new distribution
guidelines, an individual with sufficient income from other sources can
withdraw less from a retirement
account, letting it grow for a while
longer. There are some withdrawal
exceptions. The IRS does allow a few
instances in which you don't have to
touch your retirement money just
yet.
First, if all of your retirement
savings are in a Roth IRA, you're
exempt from RMD rule. Earnings in
Roth accounts are tax-free, and you
can leave your money in there as long
as you like.
Second, if you are still working,
you can wait until you actually retire
before you collect from your company
pension or 401(k). But if you have
other, non-work-related accounts,
such as an IRA other than a Roth, you
have to start taking money from them
now.
Third, if you've already withdrawn the minimum required
amount last year when you celebrated your 70 1/2 birthday or you did so
last April 1, you will be covered for
the 2014 required distribution year.
You will, however, need to take your
2015 RMD amount by Dec. 31.
Other withdrawal rules
Even if you've been tapping retirement accounts before you became a
septuagenarian (fancy word for 70
years old), now you must keep a close
eye on exactly how much you take
out. All subsequent withdrawals
must meet the IRS mandatory
amounts.
You can always take out more
than the required amount. But that
won't affect distributions in future
years. Say, for example, your required
withdrawal this year is $1,500 but you
take out $2,000. You can't carry that
$500 over to count against the next
required distribution. But, because
you've reduced your IRA balance,
your subsequent minimum distributions will likely be lowered.
Do you have multiple retirement
accounts? Then you must figure the
minimum withdrawal amount for
each, but you don't necessarily have
to deplete each one of them. If you
have several IRAs, you can add the
separate amounts and take the total
from just one. However, you do have
to take required minimum distributions from each workplace account
separately.
If you made any nondeductible
contributions to your traditional IRA
make sure you have the paperwork to
back that up. This is part of the reason that you need to file Form 8606,
which tracks these amounts and
establishes your cost basis in your
account. Your nondeductible contributions are not taxed when you withdraw them. Rather, they are a return
of your investment (i.e., your cost
basis) in your IRA. The IRS will let
you take your required distribution
in installments. Just make sure that
these disbursements, be they monthly, quarterly or some other increment, total at least the yearly minimum amount you're obligated to
withdraw. Spending the distribution
is not required. While the IRS says
you must take a specified amount of
money out of your traditional IRA or
other similar retirement plan, that
doesn't mean you have to spend it.
The agency is interested only in
collecting some of the deferred taxes
on your account. That goal is accomplished as soon as you take the distribution. If you don't need that money,
or as much as you had to take out, to
meet your living expenses, you can
redeposit any or all of the distribution in another non-retirement savings account where it will keep earning interest for you or you may put
the money in a ROTH IRA.
(According to the IRS, regardless of
your age, you may be able to establish
and make nondeductible contributions to an individual retirement
plan called a Roth IRA.)

preparation organizer by email. We

Druʼs Vues, too
By Drucilla Smith
Book tracks major civil rights events
as it impacted Vandy basketball star
Civil
Rights:
“Strong
Inside: Perry Wallace and the
Collision of Race and Sports in
the South,” paints a compelling
portrait of the racist South in
the ‘60s.
Author Andrew
Maraniss first heard about and
admired Wallace a quarter of a
century ago while a student at
Vanderbilt.
Maraniss’ story of the first
black scholarship athlete to
play in the Southeastern
Conference tracks the major
civil rights events of the time.
As a 12-year-old, Wallace
watched the 1960 lunch counter
sit-ins in Nashville. He entered
high school in 1963, the year
Martin Luther King delivered
his historic “I Have A Dream”
speech.
“The country was changing
and Perry Wallace knew he had
opportunities his older siblings
and his parents didn’t,”
Maraniss recently told the
Green Hills Rotary Club.
Years ago, Wallace, playing a
winning game for Vanderbilt,
was subject to taunts from the
crowd and unnecessary roughness on the court in a game
with Ole Miss. An Ole Miss
player cut and nearly blinded
Wallace with an elbow thrust to
his eye, yet officials ignored the
serious injury.
When, as a Vanderbilt student, Wallace attended the
University Church of Christ
near
Vanderbilt,
elders
approached him and asked him
to leave.
Members of the
church had threatened to cut
the church out of their wills if
a black person attended services there.
“Strong Inside” is available
from Vanderbilt Press or
through
local
booksellers

Hypocritic Oath?
Last
week, on a 7-4 vote, the state
Senate Health and Welfare
Committee killed Gov. Bill
Haslam's “Insure Tennessee”
proposal to benefit 280,000
Tennesseans.
Prior to the vote, Democratic
state Sen. Jeff Yarbro suggest-

ed to the Health and Welfare
Committee that most committee members have tax subsidized health care along with
almost every Tennessee legislator.
Chattanooga
Republican
Sen. Todd Gardenhire publically "chewed out" Yarbro for his
"slap" at his fellow committee
members.
Gardenhire angrily stated
his own health coverage came
from his private employer.
Gardenhire later had to admit,
under media questioning, that
he actually is covered by the
state plan though he never uses
it.
The Chattanooga Times-Free
Press reported that 88 of the 99
House members and 28 of 33
Senators are covered by the
state health plan though they
work only part-time. Taxpayers
pay 80 percent of their health
premiums.

Weed Wrangle Nashville to
help save green spaces
Have you ever wanted to
wrangle weeds? The inaugural
Weed Wrangle Nashville might
be your chance.
Weed Wrangle Nashville, a
volunteer-driven effort to help
rescue public parks and shared
green spaces from invasive
species such as harmful trees,
vines and flowering plants, will
take place from 9 a.m. to noon
on Feb. 28 at several locations
across the city.
Locations
are
Beaman
Park/Bells Bend; Owl's Hill
Nature Sanctuary; Radnor
Lake State Natural Area;
Shelby Bottoms Greenway and
Nature Park; Warner Parks;
Greenways
for
Nashville;
Richland Creek Watershed
Association;
Cheekwood
Botanical Gardens; and Lipscomb
University/Academy,
coordinated by the Cumberland
River Compact.
“Green is not always good,”
said Steve Manning, president
of Invasive Plant Control, Inc.,
and consultant to the project.
“If nothing is done, these
plants, insects and other nonnative intruders will continue
to adversely impact our city’s
ecosystem resources and services.”
Cayce McAlister, president
of The Garden Club of
Nashville, which is funding the
event, said this city’s native
trees, plants and wildlife are
gradually losing the fight
against non-native plants introduced here decades ago for
agricultural or landscaping
purposes.
“Some of these plants are
quite beautiful with colorful
flowers and pleasing scents,”
McAlister said. “But make no
mistake: They are a serious
concern for our parks, our pub-
lic green spaces and our own
backyards.”
During Weed Wrangle, teams
of volunteers, supervised by
knowledgeable guides, will
locate and uproot such unwelcome plants as bush honeysuckle, Chinese privet, autumn
olive, English ivy and winter
creeper.
Those wishing to volunteer
for Weed Wrangle Nashville
should visit www.weedwranglenashville.org, choose the location where they’d like to work,
and register using the online
form. (The Lipscomb location is
already full.)
Details including directions
to the Feb. 28 meeting points
are listed for each site.
On the day of the event, volunteers are encouraged to
bring water bottles, work
gloves, insect spray, sunscreen
and, if possible, a digging tool
such as a mattock (a common
hand tool similar to a pickaxe).
Weed Wrangle Nashville represents a fresh new push to
stem the tide of biological pollution in our area. The goal is
twofold: restoration and preservation. Organizers seek to raise
awareness of
the “green
scourge” before more of our
native plants lose the fight for
the light and nutrients they
require to survive, said
Elizabeth Lamar, organizer of
Weed Wrangle Nashville and a
Garden Club of Nashville member.
Organizers say invasive
plants consume nutrients, disrupt the ecological balance and
ultimately disfigure outdoor
surroundings.

10-digit dialing coming to the
Middle Tennessee area
Get ready to dial more numbers when making a phone call
in
Middle
Tennessee.
The region has outgrown a
one-area code capacity and will
soon be using “629” in addition
to
the
“615”
code
Beginning Feb. 28, all local
calls will require 10-digit dialing (area code plus the 7-digit
telephone
number.)
According to TDS Telecom,
calls placed in La Vergne, Mt.
Juliet, Nashville, Franklin,
Murfreesboro, Lebanon and
other communities in northcentral Tennessee, will require
callers to include the area code
and
telephone
number.
Beginning Mar. 28, the new
629 area code will be “overlaid”
or superimposed over the same
geographical area as the 615
zone.
The Tennessee Regulatory
Authority (TRA) ordered the
Area Code Overlay for the area
served by 615. According to
Federal
Communications
Commission rules, when two
area codes serve the same
region, callers are required to
change the way they dial local
calls. Customers don’t have to
change
their
area
code
What residents and businesses
need
to
know:
•Existing phone numbers in the
615 area code will not change.
•What’s a local call now
remains a local call, regardless
of the number of digits dialed.
•The dialing procedure for long
distance or operator assisted
calls
will
not
change.
•911 remains a three-digit dial.
Callers should identify their
telephone number as a ten-digit
number (area code + 7-digit
telephone number), and include
the area code when giving their
number to friends, family, busi-
ness associates and customers.
Also, callers should ensure
that automatic dialing equipment, applications, software
and other types of equipment
have been reprogrammed to follow the new dialing procedure.
This includes PBX systems,
electronic telephone sets, autodial systems, multi-line key systems, life safety systems, fax
machines, Internet dial-up
numbers, alarm systems, gates,
speed dialers, call forwarding
settings
and
voicemail.
Residents and businesses
should also check with their
security company to make sure
their system is programmed for
the new dialing pattern.

The ballpark will seat 10,000
people with fixed seats, picnic
seating and a grassy berm area.
Historical monuments, commemorating Native Americans
and Sulphur Dell ( the former
minor league baseball park in
Nashville) will be placed periodically throughout the park.
With respect to green space, the
park will contain a green roof,
rainwater harvesting and a
rainwater garden. The signature guitar-shaped scoreboard
will be delivered by the end of
this month, and the playing
turf will be inserted midMarch.
Thanks to the outstanding
effort by hundreds of workers,
we are getting closer and closer
to the completion of the pre-
mier minor league ballpark in
the country,” said Ward. “The
Sounds, along with the city officials who made this project
happen, look forward to showcasing First Tennessee Park for
the citizens of Nashville on
April 17.”
But, with the fervor of a new
stadium, comes the unfortunate thought: where is everyone going to park? According to
officials, the $18 million parking garage will not be completed until October. And in the
next few weeks, the mayor’s
office will release parking and
traffic accommodations for
baseball-goers, mainly consisting of off-site parking lots and
shuttle buses.

has also served on the

Homelessness
Commission.
Barry noted that recent
housing numbers put the
affordable housing inventory
lacking by between 3,000 to
6,000 units and cautioned that
the city’s Barnes Fund for
Affordable Housing, which provides grants for affordable
housing development, is “woefully underfunded.”
Mayor Karl Dean started the
Fund in 2013 with $3 million in
federal grant dollars. The
Metro Council this year allocated only $500,000.
Gentry warned against putting the issue solely in the city’s
hands.
“Government can’t fix this.
We’re going to have to bring
stakeholders together. Rising
boats are the key but people
have to be in the boats,” he said,
citing the need for more collaboration between nonprofits and
social service providers.
Other candidates highlighted the multi-faceted nature of
the housing problem.
Kane said that any approach
to increasing the affordable
housing
inventory
must
address Nashville’s underdeveloped transportation system.
“We must focus on transit
oriented development,” he said,
noting that any new construction or incentivized redevelopment had to take into account
bus line accessibility.
Eaton questioned whether
tax incentives for businesses
were necessary and pledged
that, as mayor, he would steer
MDHA to renew its focus on
helping people with housing, a
mission he said the agency has
drifted away from.
He added that any approach
to housing policy should
include collaboration with the
faith community.
Fox said an “inclusionary
zoning” approach similar to
that endorsed by local housing
advocates was a possible
option. Such a policy would
mandate a certain percentage
of new developments be set
aside for families earning less
that 60 percent of the county’s
median income – or $46,000 for
a family of four.
Both real estate developer
Freeman and businesswoman
Eskind-Rebrovick encouraged
new development through private equity, while Rebrovick
also suggested redevelopment
of vacant Metro properties into
affordable units.
Bone suggested a moral obligation to reducing the economic burden many Nashvillians
face, particularly those who
struggle with housing.
“Given the resources that
already exist, it is inexcusable
that we cannot more effectively
address these issues,” he stated
The next major candidate
forum will be hosted by
Lipscomb University on Feb. 24
at 5:30 p.m. and will focus on
issues such as neighborhood
“walkability”

for the water and sewer lines
running through your property?
It pays to be protected.

I miss my hedges, among other things.
On a regular basis, NES
sweeps through our neighborhoods destroying beautiful
trees and hedges – many of
which are not touching thelines, and wouldn't be for years
to come. Yet, on the median
down Belle Meade Blvd., trees
grown in, around and under the
wires with abandon. It seems
NES can ignore its own policies

there’s a homeless man on the

We have visited that Greenway,

We won’t be going back. Also,
there are people living in

It’s most frustrating. Please do
something about this problem.

I’m ticked off that every year
the weather people on our local
channels start talking about
snow several days before the
snow comes to Nashville. And
the day it’s to arrive, there are
no snowflakes on the ground.
With all of the technology and
education about the weather, it
should be more accurate. We
will go outside and see what has
occured overnight, as we did
when we were grewing up. You
are no help. Just watching
nature is sufficient. As far as

Taxes, again
Ticked off ? You bet. The outdated Hall Income Tax makes
liars out of every Tennessee
lawmaker who says we do not
have an income tax. Thankfully,
I have seen people step up in the
past few weeks. One saying he
was tired of the Hall Income
Tax; another stated they were
glad someone was speaking up,
another explained how it is
hurting Tennessee's retired
seniors. The Hall Income Tax
was established in 1929 to help
during the great depression.
The Hall Income Tax is a tax
that takes 6 percent of one's
income from dividends and
interest. For those who have
worked a lifetime, raised a family, paid a mortgage and managed to save for their senior
years find themselves again
footing the bill. Hello legislature. Is there one of you who
has the fortitude to stand up
and speak out against the Hall
Income Tax? To start with, the
tax should change the dollar
amount the tax is based upon.
The current tax essentially
taxes everyone who is above the
poverty level. When you think
about it there is absolutely no
reason for a company to relocate to Nashville or Tennessee
period. The new companies gets
tax breaks to come, the employees work and save, Then when
they retire, bingo, gotcha, pay
up on that money you saved.
The usual legislator will say
that they need the money. Well
figure out an equitable way if
your going to have an income
tax. You were elected to solve
the issues and not with an attitude of "maybe later."
The Hall Income Tax needs
to go away. Nashville and all of
Tennessee will be the better for
it.
So high, not so fly
I'm ticked off every time I get
my Piedmont Gas bill. For
months, I have used significantly less therms compared to last
year, but my bill is higher. I
have tried to conserve energy
and save dollars, but my reward
is higher prices per therm so
Piedmont's profits aren't affected.
Anyone who follows current
events knows that energy costs
have plummeted.
Why is this not being reflected in our natural gas bills like it
is at the gas pump?
I have contacted Piedmont
Gas multiple times and their
customer relations staff, supervisors and engineer have no
answers. The engineer might,
but hasn't bothered to call back
yet as promised! (two weeks an
counting)
If you are as ticked off as I
am about your bill, please contact the Tennessee Regulatory
Authority online or by phone.
They are the only ones who
have any control over rates and
will file a formal complaint
with Piedmont.
By the way, don't worry
about switching your business
over to the competition– there
isn’t any!

Haslam introduces legislation towards scholarships to community college for adult learners
Gov. Bill Haslam introduced
legislation that is directly
linked to his most recent budget
proposal. The bills are a result
of the governor’s continued
focus on more Tennesseans
earning a post-secondary credential, supporting teachers
across the state and building a
more customer-focused, efficient and effective state government.
“These legislative proposals
build on the Drive to 55, our
effort to raise the percentage of
Tennesseans with a degree or
certificate beyond high school
from 32 to 55 by the year 2025.
We know that just reaching high
school graduates won’t be
enough to reach our goal, so
we’re specifically looking to get
adults with some college credit
to go back and earn their
degree,” Haslam said.
“Along with including $100
million in the budget for teachers salaries, the proposals are
also aimed at supporting educators in meaningful ways, and we
are always looking for ways to
recruit, reward and retain the
best and brightest to serve in
state government.”
The governor’s legislation,
sponsored by Senate Majority
Leader
Mark
Norris
(RCollierville) and House Majority
Leader Gerald McCormick (RChattanooga), includes: The
Community College Reconnect
Grant pilot program that would
use a one-time payment of $1.5
million in lottery funds in the
FY 2015-16 budget proposal to
provide last-dollar scholarships
to adults with some college credit to attend a community college.
In Tennessee there are nearly 1
million adults with some postsecondary credit but no degree,
and this is an additional component of the governor’s Drive to
55 initiative.
The Educators’ Liability
Trust Fund would provide, personal liability coverage to teachers free of charge. While many
teachers are covered through
their school districts’ insurance
plans, the governor heard from
many in his conversations
around the state that they are
concerned they’re not adequately covered and teachers end up
paying for liability protection at
their own expense. This year’s
budget proposal includes a onetime appropriation of $5 million
to establish the fund to provide
coverage.
The Revenue Modernization
Act would help keep Tennessee
a low tax state by leveling the
playing field between in-state
companies and out-of-state companies doing business in
Tennessee. The proposal would
also seek to close certain loopholes by adapting to changes in
the way products are bought and
sold. The proposed legislation
includes: Addressing “nexus” in
sales and use, franchise and
excise, and business taxes;
Adopting market-based sourcing of services to determine
which state counts the sale of
service for tax purposes when a
company conducts business in
more than one state.
This would make Tennessee’s
tax structure more competitive
with surrounding states by
changing the way a multi-state
company’s income and net
worth is taxed for franchise and
excise purposes; And allowing
the use of software and video
games being accessed remotely
to be subject to sales tax as if
they had been purchased or
downloaded.
The
Compensation
Enhancement Act continues the
administration’s
focus
on
recruiting,
retaining
and
rewarding a talented state gov-

encourage young people around
her state to collect toys, clothing
and other gifts for patients at a
Nashville children’s hospital.
She had already participated in
several donation drives for the
Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s
Hospital at Vanderbilt when one
day, as she was delivering some
items, she happened to see 70
newly donated red wagons,
which are used to transport
young patients at the hospital.
She immediately thought about
filling all of the wagons with
things that could make sick children’s hospital stays more comfortable and pleasant.
As a state honoree, Puryear
will receive $1,000, an engraved
silver medallion and an allexpense-paid trip in early May to
Washington, D.C., where she will
join the top two honorees from
each of the other states and the
District of Columbia for four
days of national recognition
events.
More and more families are
choosing cremation. The majority
of those families prefer simple
arrangements and they don’t need
all of the services of a traditional
funeral home
ernment workforce by adapting
longevity payments to help
implement the market- and performance-based compensation
plan.
Since the governor took
office, $139.4 million has been
allocated in the state budget for
salary increases, and the 2015-16
budget proposal includes another $47.7 million for salary
increases.
Under the proposal, executive branch employees would
receive a permanent increase to
their base salary equal to half of
the longevity payment due,
effective July 2015. The remaining half of the longevity payment would be reallocated to the
state’s General Fund and then
used to fund market- and performance-based salary increases.
The State Health Insurance
Reform legislation aims to
address the rising state employee retirement health care costs
and give the state flexibility to
offer more competitive total
compensation packages and to
design benefits for state employees. Key changes include: the
state would have the flexibility
to offer a defined contribution
or defined benefit to current
employees for pre-65 retiree
health insurance, reflecting the
practice of most large private
sector employers, and state and
local education employees hired
after July 1, 2015, would not be
eligible for pre-65 retiree health
insurance; the State Insurance
Committee would have the flexibility to change the percent subsidy that is given to the active
state employees by offering one
basic health plan. After July 1,
2015, no part time state employee may be eligible for any insurance plan while current employees working 1,450 hours or more
per year will be grandfathered
into the plan. The state would
not offer Medicare Supplement
Insurance under the state and
teacher insurance plans for
employees hired after July 1,
2015.
The governor previously
filed the following three pieces
of legislation in January: the
Tennessee Teaching Evaluation
Enhancement Act, Protection of
Volunteer-Insured Drivers of
the Elderly Act, and the
Tennessee
Promise
Implementation Adjustments
Act.

Sending You My Love This Week! Be Mine!
Securely Yours. 3127 Long Boulevard • Park West Condominiums
An elevator will take you from your 2 assigned gated parking spots to your
penthouse level 1427 square foot flat. Secure in the knowledge that there
is no one above you to walk on your head, you will also be secure in
knowing that there is a pedestrian gate from the street as well as an automatic gate to the garage. When Todd and I were looking at condos,
we chose this condo for him because we knew that this had the trifecta of
amenities that Buyers search for: security, low Association Fees ( and a low
drama Association Board), and walkability. All brick and freshly painted
exterior, the development also has a new roof. The building is 7 years old.
This unit has tall ceilings, hardwood floors, a new refrigerator, and new
washer and dryer. Quite spacious – you could do a cart wheel in the half
bath- truly!
2 bedrooms. 2.5 Full baths. Hardwoods. 2006 Build. Penthouse floor. Elevator. 2 Covered/secured parking
spaces. Walk to Vandy/Centennial Park.

you love them, and take a walk in

Family Values 4317 Signal Hill • Belle Meade • $1,385,000
4317 Signal Hill was designed by an architect who had her
eye of the heart of the family- she wanted this home to embody living and working together AS a family. This house
flows from room to room by wide openings and French
doors. It asks the sun to flood in and play with the kids. This
house laughs and smiles. The fireplaces are focal points – they
demand that you light a fire and sit together. The kids can
do their homework, you can read your book- the point is that
you are all together. LIVING as a FAMILY. So often large
homes can be TOO big. This home is 4200square feet but the
space is right. The kitchen table sits right next to your workstation. You are there to answer questions and to be quiet.
The playroom is just around the corner allowing the kids to have some space- but not out of your hearing range. Loving
comes easy in this house of family values.
Association Fees: None. Belle Meade City taxes. Acreage; .35 acres. sloping. View: Faces north.
Views of established neighborhood.

I will personally teach you how to do the Fox Trot when I give you a tour of this ballroom with a home on top! Designed by a Dancing Queen, this home truly does have
a dance floor with full mirror! Now, many of you might see yourselves dividing this
space into several more rooms or a couple of playrooms or studios, but I do think that
you will have fun dancing in the mirror until you DO decide to use the space differently! All of the bedrooms on the main floor have their own baths, the master has a
15x15 walk in closet that will floor you! In fact, you might just have to go shopping
to fill it up. – The five car garage might be a fun thing to shop for as well! Jodie

News From the Homefront: Signs of Summer
Last week I forwarded a bathing suit ad to my daughters. The ad was from Everything but Water,
a bathing suit shop in the mall that sells cover ups and cute bathing suits to go underneath. It,
traditionally, has geared its marketing towards over 40s. This week’s ad showcased a long sleeved
top and a bikini bottom. I sent the ad to my daughters wondering what dumb person thinks
that somebody is going to want to wear a long sleeve bathing suit top in the dead of summer?
Much less, if someone wants to cover their arms in the dead of the summer, they are not going
to be the same ones who would want to matching bikini bottom to go on the bottom- they would
want the matching long underwear style bathing suit! Who was behind that design I wondered???!!!
Libby’s reply, “Mom! It’s for surfboarding- so you won’t chafe!!! Ha ha ha ha!”
Oh.
Well , that makes more sense. But who 40 + is riding the waves? Well, I do suppose that at 40 ,
we are riding waves- just not that kind. At 40, most are at the helm of the hormones of their children. Daily fending off one raging hormone after another, perhaps, we do need those long
sleeved non chaffing shirts! Skips the bikini bottoms, though!
