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

Literary enthusiasts rejoice!
The new Bellevue branch
library has officially opened its
doors.
“This is a great day for
Bellevue and for Nashville,”
Mayor Dean said. “This vibrant
community, full of children and
parents, is finally getting the
library it deserves. This isn’t
just any branch library. It connects with this community and
its history through the stories
it tells on its walls and through
its artwork, both indoors and
out.”
The 25,000-square-foot facility is five times larger than the
old library space, and features
cyber-centered studios, historic
murals and sustainable materials.
The Bellevue Library’s new
location, 720 Baugh Road, is
conveniently located next-door
to Bellevue Middle School,
allowing for middle and high
schools students to partake in
the library’s vast learning
opportunities.
“We see ourselves as an education partner to Nashville’s
students and families,” said
NPL Director Kent Oliver. “The
design and staff investments
we’ve made at the new Bellevue
branch library reflect our commitment to students’ education
and to lifelong learning for
adults.”
For instance, the library has
the Studio NPL, a dedicated
teen space, that allows for students to “learn through play.”

Taxing
Matters
By Jim Wilson, CPA
False Calls from IRS Scammers
Net $14 Million from 3,000 Victims
In a recent article written by
Michael Cohn, he revealed that
the pervasive IRS impersonation phone scam has claimed
nearly 3,000 victims who have
collectively paid over $14 million for false claims. According
to a new warning from J. Russell
George, the Treasury Inspector
General for Tax Administration
(TIGTA), the scam is increasing
in volume. As the 2015 tax filing
season begins, TIGTA has
reminded taxpayers to beware of
phone calls from individuals
claiming to represent the IRS
while intending to defraud
them. I wrote an article on this
previously. Imagine the fear of
being told that you are about to
be sued by the IRS for some
ambiguous tax that you have
neglected to pay, or worse that
you have been threatened with
the possibility of being arrested. One client came to my office
last week and was visibly shaken because she had received
such a call. Remember that the

t

t
’
n e l

IRS does not call taxpayers to
collect taxes or threaten suit.
Also, the Service does not send
emails regarding your tax deficiencies. In fact, the IRS does
not use the internet for any reason, other than education and
publication of tax materials at
www.irs.gov.
TIGTA Inspector General J.
Russell said, “It is critical that
all taxpayers continue to be
wary of unsolicited telephone
calls from individuals claiming
to be IRS employees.”
“This scam, which is international in nature, has proven to
be the largest scam of its kind
that we have ever seen. The
callers are aggressive, they are
relentless, and they are ruthless.
Once they have your attention,
they will say anything to con
you out of your hard-earned
cash.” They usually request
payment by green dot card
transfer, bank wire or credit
card.
TIGTA has received reports
of roughly 290,000 contacts from
scammers with taxpayers since
October 2013. In the scam, the
scammers make unsolicited
calls to taxpayers fraudulently
claiming to be IRS officials and
demanding that they send them
money for unpaid taxes via prepaid debit cards or wire transfer.
The IRS usually first contacts
people by mail—not by phone—
about unpaid taxes. The agency
will not ask for payment using a
pre-paid debit card or wire
transfer. IRS employees also will
not ask for a credit card number
over the phone.
Mr. George noted that the
scam has hit taxpayers in every
state in the U.S. The scammers
threaten those who refuse to pay
with immediate arrest, deportation or loss of a business or driver’s license. They threaten to
send the police to arrest the call
recipient. That will not happen.
In fact, the IRS would, if warranted, send U.S. Marshalls to
apprehend tax criminals. And
that would occur, only if the perpetrator has been duly warned
and charged with a tax related
crime.
“The increasing number of
people not only receiving but
accepting these unsolicited calls
from individuals who fraudulently claim to represent the IRS
is alarming,” George added. “At
all times, and particularly during the tax filing season, we
want to make sure that innocent
taxpayers are alert to this scam
so they are not harmed by these
criminals. Do not become a victim.” In short, hang up the
phone. My client tried to call
the number showing in the
phone ID. The call came from
area code 202. No luck, the call
could not be completed. The
perpetrators of this scam often
route the calls thru computer
systems that give the impression that the calls a local. Many,
if not most, of the calls are
made from foreign countries.
If taxpayers receive a call
from someone claiming to be
with the IRS asking for a payment, TIGTA advises that If
they know owe federal taxes, or
think they might owe taxes, they
should hang up and call the IRS
at 800-829-1040 for help with payment questions. If taxpayers
know they don’t owe taxes, they
should fill out the “IRS
Impersonation scam” form on
TIGTA’s website, www.treasury.gov/tigta or call TIGTA at
800-366-4484. Taxpayers can also
file a complaint with the Federal
Trade
Commission
at
www.FTC.gov. They should add
“IRS Telephone Scam" to the
comments in the complaint.
In addition, the IRS will
never request personal or financial information by email, texting, or any social media. Scam
emails can be forwarded to
[email protected]. Recipients
should not open any attach-
ments or click on any links in
these emails.
Taxpayers should also be
aware that there are other unrelated scams (such as a lottery
sweepstakes winner) and solicitations (such as debt relief) that
fraudulently claim to be from
the IRS. I received multiple
emails last year indicating that I
had won millions of dollars in
lotteries and that some foreign
person wanted my assistance to
transfer millions of dollars to
the U.S., a part of which I could
keep if I would just assist the
effort. Another scam uses the
passing of some relative who
named me in their will and I
must contact the attorney for
such matters for my inheritance. I knew that was not true.
No relative of mine ever had
more than two nickels to rub
together.

Metro/State
Commentary

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

Jerry Maynard endorses Bill Freeman for Nashville Mayor
Metro Councilman At-Large,
and potential mayoral candidate, Jerry Maynard has decided that he will not enter the
mayoral race and will provide
his full support and endorsement to Bill Freeman for Mayor
of Nashville. Maynard will
serve as a Senior Advisor to the
campaign, joining Rep. Brenda
Gilmore who serves as treasurer.
“We will be stronger together
than apart,” said Maynard. “I
am strongly backing Bill
Freeman because he knows how
to build strong communities for
working families throughout
Davidson County. His background of building things like
his very successful small busi-
ness, that he and his partner
began with just a $15,000 bank
loan then it turned into one of
the largest and most respected
in Tennessee, gives me the confidence he can lead our city with a
clear vision.
Maynard added that, “I
admire most that Bill Freeman
has been in the trenches behind
the scenes over the past 30
years.”
Freeman said of Maynard’s
announcement that, "I've known
Jerry for a number of years and
have seen first-hand that he is
highly respected by his peers in
the Council and people all
across Nashville. I respect him,
and will rely heavily on his
advice and counsel.”
Maynard is a pastor, small
business owner and has served
as a Metro Councilman AtLarge
for
eight
years.
Previously he has served as an
adjunct professor of Business
Law and Ethics at Fisk
University, Meharry Medical
College and Tennessee State
University.
Maynard concluded, “When I
think of the issues most critical
to our city’s future – like public
education, small business job
creation and affordable housing
– I know that as mayor, Bill
Freeman will be ready to make a
difference on each of those from
day one on the job.”

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

Opening:
CEO
Andrew Sandler unveiled the
new Park Manor residence
shopping mall with a champagne reception and tour to
show off the spacious library,
fitness center, tranquility room
with a spa and beauty shop at
the senior lifestyle community.
Park Manor's mall wing is a
harbinger of the much-anticipated future completion of
Abe's Garden on the Park
Manor campus. This is a model
program of national significance for those who suffer from
Alzeheimer's disease or other
dementia. Park Manor board
chairman
Michael
D.
Shmerling has founded and is
creating Abe's Garden to honor
his father, the late Abram C.
Shmerling, a doctor, who was
diagnosed with Azheimer's disease before his death.
"If there was one to describe
my dad, it would be 'compassionate," Shmerling wrote on
the Abe's Garden web site. "He
was dedicated to his patients
and to seeing anyone who needed healthcare received it. We
established Abe's Garden with
this commitment in mind and
(seek to) provide cutting-edge
care to an often overlooked population, those who suffer from
Alzheimer's disease and other
dementia."
The "Garden"
in Abe's
Garden refers to the planned
outdoor courtyard where residents may wander, as many
with Alzeheimer's disease do,
in a spacious yet secure garden
setting. When completed, the
Abe's Garden community will
be located on the Park Manor
campus at 115 Woodmont
Boulevard.

Nashville’s Metro Council
Davidson County Criminal
Court Clerk Howard Gentry, Jr.
shook up the already crowded
field
vying
to
become
Nashville’s next mayor when
he announced his candidacy
last week. He is the eighth candidate—and
only
African
American—to enter the race.
If successful, he would
become
Nashville’s
first
African-American mayor.
Even with considerable competition, Gentry’s candidacy is
a potential game changer.
Nashville’s former vice mayor
made an attempt at the city’s top
office in 2007, a bid that was just
a few hundred votes shy of securing his spot in the run-off election that year. Current Mayor
Karl Dean ultimately won.
Gentry is no stranger to public service. A former At-large
Metro Council member, he
served as Nashville’s first
African-American vice mayor
from 2002 until his unsuccessful 2007 mayoral bid. In 2011, he
was appointed to serve as
Davidson County’s Criminal
Court Clerk and was elected the
following year without opposition.

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

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

Gas should be low
I'm ticked off that the newly
opened Kroger Fuel Center in
Green Hills is charging significantly higher prices than other
nearby Kroger Fuel Centers. As
it opened last week, the prices
at other fuel centers are varying
from location to location.
Taxes are necessary
I'm tired of people complaining about the Hall Tax. If you're
a senior, you're exempt if your
joint income is below $59,000.
Think about that number - it's
roughly 30% more than the
median income in TN. If you're
making more than that, you can
set aside a small percentage to
help pay for the state and local
services that you continue to
use. Getting rid of the Hall
means coming up with roughly
$200 million elsewhere, or losing that in services. No thanks!
We don't need this state looking
like a picked-over Wal-Mart
because people don't want to
pay the government anything.
Wake up, residents
Green Hills residents need to
get a reality check. Upon taking
my last two house guests to
Green Hills, they both asked
"Where is the nice part of
town?" And, to my response
"this is it,” they gently
exclaimed, "Oh, I am sorry.”

I have been fortunate to live
in some beautiful and vibrant
towns and cities in our country.
I have an established point of
reference. This town contains
no appreciable architecture, no
charm, no sidewalks, endless
power lines, and at its core an
apartment tower that looks like
it was built in Cold War Russia.
Our surrounding homes may be
beautiful, but the greater town
is a very sad place to shop and
explore.
Beware
Heads up everybody: the
light
is now working at
Bellevue Road and Highway 70.
Be aware, and be cautious.
Itʼs not justified
an incredible amount of congestion, so why pay attention to
the red light. If as often times is
the case no one is coming the
other way why bother waiting
for two or three minutes at a
light only to be stopped by the
very next one… Just run them
until the city gets its act together and fixes our problem.
How dare you!
I am incredibly ticked off ! I
was
both
horrified
and
ashamed to see the video of two
students
desecrating
the
American flag outside a private
school. These students should
have been taught not only at
school, but at home, that the
American flag deserves their
utmost respect. Furthermore,
I just want to say thanks to
the person that called in about
the Tennessee Hall tax. That is
the most unfair tax in
Tennessee, and no one will do
anything about it. I think the
Republicans in office will get
something done now.
Plenty of parking for all
This is in response to
"Downtown parking" from the
Jan. 14 issue:
I've been to hundreds of
Predators games throughout
the years and I don't pay an arm
or a leg for parking.
There are numerous ways
you can keep from breaking the
bank to park in or around downtown. Here's a couple that won't
cost you more than the price of
popcorn:
You can park at the
Downtown Library garage for
$5 on game nights. You might
have to get there early because
those fill up fast, but it's a short
walk to Bridgestone Arena from
there.
Another option is to park at
LP Field (it's free!) and either
walk over the pedestrian bridge
or take the shuttle across.

Neighborhood Nostalgia: The Blizzard of ʻ51
E.D. Thompson
Contributor to The News
Classes were closed at
Bellevue High School, as well as
all other Davidson County
Schools.
It happened exactly 64 years
ago this week that Bellevue as
well as all of Nashville was
pulling out of a freezing blizzard of January and February
which to this day we still refer
to as the “Blizzard of '51.”
It all began on the afternoon
of Sunday, January 28, 1951.
When it started, all of us familiar with the two-inch snows
which were here today and
gone tomorrow, thought nothing about it. Many times we
saw snow in the morning which
closed the schools, the snow
would turn to slush in the afternoon, and schools would reopen
the next morning. But, the
Blizzard of '51, not so!
The
snow
of
Sunday,
January 28 was beautiful. Not
too much traffic to worry about.
No schools anyway. But, the
snow didn't melt!
Monday, January 29, 1951, no
schools! Monday was dark and
cold. The snow was not melting.
On Tuesday, January 30,
there was another inch or so of
snow, and this time there was
also a glaze of sleet.

The Murphy Family is pleased to
announce the opening of our new
cremation arrangement office in
Bellevue.
Nashville Cremation Center is
owned and operated by Jeff &
Steve Murphy. The Murphy
Brothers are both Licensed
Funeral Directors & Embalmers
with more than 30 years of
experience.
Nashville Cremation Center is a
product of the public’s demands.
The Blizzard of '51 hit like a
snow shovel in our faces on
Wednesday night, January 31.
The Tennessean reported, “It
was something that we had
never seen in recorded times. A
massive ice storm.”
Howling winds accompanied
by freezing rain covered our
area. Tree branches were sagging under ice. Electric wires
and telephone lines looked like
long, sagging ribbons of ice. It
didn't take long for the lines to
snap. No telephones! No electric power in many places!
On Thursday morning,
February 1, 1951, the storm had
let up, but the temperature here
had dropped to one below zero.
We were shut down.
The Nashville airport was
closed. More than a third of
our city was without electricity.
Water pipes were freezing and
bursting.
In 1951, passenger trains
were still serving our area, but
an agent at Union Station in
Nashville said that most trains
were about 18 hours late, and he
really didn't know where many
of them were, because the telegraph and telephone lines were
down.
By this time, the several layers of snow, sleet, and frozen
rain stood at about eight inches
and was as hard as concrete.
On
Friday
morning,
February 2, 1951, the temperature dropped to 13 degrees
below zero.
At this time, I was the band
director at Hillsboro High
School in Green Hills. It was
between the first and second
semesters. In addition to band,
I was teaching a sophomore
English class for that year.
I was talking on the telephone to the Hillsboro principal at the time, Mr. John Koen.
He said that he wished he had
all of the grades in so he could
be handling that part of his
semester's work. I thought he
wanted my grades. I offered to
get out and meet him somewhere. But, then he said, “Oh
no! Yours alone wouldn't help. I
need the grades from all teachers and all classes.”
Well, we lived through the
storm. I kept my feet up toward
the iron grate at my house in
which I burned COAL. So, I didn't get too COLD!
When someone begins to tell
you about that horrible winter
and storm of the 70s, 80s, and
90s, some of us can just smile,
and say, “I was in the Mother of
All
Storms
in
Middle
Tennessee.
I was in the
Blizzard of '51!”
skills.
Another learning opportunity is through the use of 3D
printer, microcontrollers, wearable electronics, art and crafting supplies, and robotics kits
to build on their science,
technology, engineering, arts
and mathematics skills. The
Library will offer free, mentorsupported programs there,
including 3D printing classes,
music production sessions and
art workshops.
The new branch library also
includes: a self-service kiosk,
where patrons can check out
iPads and laptops with their
library cards; free Wi-Fi
throughout the space and 26
public computers; and 142
newly planted trees.
The grand opening festivities
were held on Thursday, January
29, and included a ribbon cutting with Mayor Karl Dean, biscuits from the Loveless Café and
the dedication of local artwork.
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
Nashville Cremation Center offers
families the most convenient and
affordable options in the greater
Nashville area.
Arrangements can be made
online, or in person either at our
comfortable arrangement office.

The Gordon Jewish Community Center (GJCC) introduced a new annual fundraiser: Big Night Out, which
offered casino games, a cocktail supper, silent auction
and a live DJ for dancing.
The Las Vegas theme was reflected in various casino
games, including blackjack, poker, and roulette, as well
as games of chance for those less experienced gamblers.
Chef Penelope provided numerous hors d’oeuvres and
a delicious buffet for the party-goers.

the life of discipleship, against the background of the challenges faced by Jewish Christians in the GrecoRoman world. Dr. Davis will highlight how Matthew’s prophetic understanding of discipleship
reflects his reading of the “Old Testament,” and especially the evangelical prophet Isaiah. Further, she will
consider how the Beatitudes and the Lord’s Prayer may be seen as prophetic disciplines for
contemporary Christians.

DAR Tea & Tidbits
photos by • Brenda Batey
The Davidson County Regents’ Council of the
Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) hosted
Tea & Tidbits - Chatting with the Chapters at Bellevue
Church of Christ.
State Regent Susan Thomas highlighted state projects that raise funds to support the DAR objectives.
She discussed a two-volume book, “Legacies of Our
Great Grandmothers - Early Tennessee Women,”
which was created with the input of members who
submitted verified sketches of women in early
Tennessee history and will be available in April.
Other projects include Honor Air/Honor Flight for
Vets, Veterans Support Group, gift cards for DAR
schools, and restoring cemeteries and historic sites.
Thomas and her executive board answered questions in an open forum about DAR related topics.
Everyone enjoyed various assorted sandwiches,
vegetables and dip, cheeses and crackers, a fruit display, and cake.

The Watkins Arcade Gallery, which has been
described as a perfect venue for experimenting with an
art audience, welcomed a new year of exhibitions with
a double bill of paintings during the First Saturday Art
Crawl.
Watkins juniors Marlos E’van, studying for a BA in
art, showcased Funkhaus, and Aaron Harper, working
toward a BFA in fine art, presented Space Between
Things.
Dedicated to encouraging young artists to think
independently and creatively about their art practice
and role as critical thinkers within the cultural landscape, the gallery, which is nicknamed WAG, has proved
to be a popular addition to the downtown arts scene
with work by students and alumni in painting, photography, graphic design, printmaking, film and multimedia.
Guests included local artists Kristi Hargrove, Karen
Seapker, Paul Collins, Alex Lockwood, Sophia
Stevenson, Terry Thacker, Ian Cato, and Willie Stewart.
