The Creative Destruction of Jefferson Street By Ronald W. Weathersby
Before 1920, the primary Black business district in Nashville was located along Charlotte Avenue. However, by the end of World War II, the commercial center of Black Nashville shifted to Jefferson Street near Fisk University and Meharry Medical College. According to historians, Jefferson Street began as a footpath that evolved into a thoroughfare. During the Union Army occupation of Nashville, Fort Gilliam was erected in North Nashville. In 1871 the Fisk Free Colored School purchased the Fort Gilliam site and constructed Jubilee Hall. After the turn of the century several Black businessmen formed the Abraham Lincoln Land Company and offered lots for sale in the Fisk University
Place subdivision. African American buyers paid five dollars down and five dollars a month to purchase a lot. In 1912 Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State Normal school was chartered and in 1915 Meharry Medical College became an independent institution. Hubbard Hospital, named after George W. Hubbard, one of the first faculty members, was built in 1917. Edward T. Kindall authors the book shown here on Jefferson street from the 1940’s to the 1970’s and is a must read by all Nashvillians. (See page 2A ) Thus the Jefferson Street corridor began its ascension to one of America’s most vibrant African American busiJefferson Street

Churchwell Named to Lead New Fellows Society by Kathy Whitney
André Churchwell, M.D.
André Churchwell, M.D., associate dean of Diversity and associate professor of Medicine, Radiology and Biomedical Engineering, was named the first president of a newly formed cardiovascular fellows society by his alma mater, Emory University School of Medicine, where he completed his graduate medical education. André Churchwell, M.D. The J. Willis Hurst, R. Bruce Logue, and Nanette K. Wenger Cardiovascular Society was created to connect Emory cardiology alumni to each other and to current cardiology faculty. The group’s purpose is to provide networking oppor-
tunities for alumni, to promote alumni accomplishments and to encourage further investment and support of Emory cardiology’s mission. The society was named in honor of three Emory physicians who impacted the careers of generations of cardiologists, according to Emory’s Cardiology Alumni News. Churchwell graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Biomedical Engineering and later graduated from Harvard Medical School. He completed his internship, residency and cardiology fellowship in Atlanta at Emory University, where, in 1984, he was the first African-American named as chief resident of medicine at Grady Memorial Hospital. After completing his training,
he joined the faculty at Emory, conducting basic research, seeing patients, teaching students, running the ECHO lab and creating and directing the office of minority affairs. All the while, he and other Emory and Georgia Tech faculty helped spearhead the creation of the Emory-Georgia Tech Biomedical Technology Research Center. He also received the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Minority Faculty Development award. The inaugural meeting of the society was held Jan. 25-26, in conjunction with the Atlanta Clinical Cardiology Update (CCU) Continuing Medical Education (CME) course.
Rev. James Lawson Jr. Papers to be Housed at Vanderbilt NASHVILLE, TN — The Rev. James M. Lawson Jr., who has played key roles in the Civil Rights Movement and Vanderbilt University’s history, has donated a significant portion of his papers to Vanderbilt Libraries’ Special Collections. “Vanderbilt is honored to serve as home to the archives of the Rev.

and teacher. The entirety of this collection will allow scholars to complete the portrait of his remarkable legacy.” Lawson, a Vanderbilt Distinguished Alumnus, taught on campus from 2006 to 2009 as a distinguished visiting professor. The James M. Lawson Jr. Chair at Vanderbilt was established in his honor in 2007. Learn more about Lawson’s historic role in the Movement and his time on campus in this video. “For decades I have expected the archival trail of my life’s journey would be located at Vanderbilt,” Lawson said. “In spite of certain events of the 1960s, Vanderbilt’s vision and I have never broken step. I am delighted that Vanderbilt
can now announce that the Lawson Papers are there. In the light of the “Great Movement” that happened in Nashville, I hope that Vanderbilt will become a major center for the study of the non-violent direct action campaigns of 1953-1980 and the moral and social earthquake those campaigns caused.” Lawson joins several other important figures in the civil rights movement who have donated or committed their historic papers to Vanderbilt Special Collections.

Seaside Park Pays Out $2.5M in Civil Rights Lawsuit SEASIDE PARK, NJ —Seaside Park has settled with Stephen D’Onofrio, the former owner of the Sawmill Café, for $2.5 million.

tailed D’Onofrio’s claim involving more than 50 town-wide defendants including police, building and borough officials. “This case is a reminder that there are indeed consequences for the abuse of power by local governments. This is an excellent result for our client, which is what we always strive for,” Davolos said. Court papers detail how borough officials inappropriately interfered with
D’Onofrio’s operation in order to prevent “Black Bands” from performing at the Sawmill Café’s second floor “Green Room” from 2004 till 2009. The combined action of the defendants was commonly referred to in Seaside Park as “The Program.” On April 13, 2004, the Sawmill Café hosted an African-American hip hop per-

ness and cultural districts. According to the Jefferson Street United Merchant’s Partnership (J.U.M.P.) such prominent businesses along the street included, K. Gardner’s Funeral Home, Isom’s Beauty Shop, William Hawkins North Side Ice Cream Company, William Hemphill’s Press, Terrance Restaurant, Jefferson Street Pharmacy, Menefee and Bauer Tire and Battery Service, I.E. Green Grocery Company, Terry’s Pharmacy, Frank White’s Cleaners and Crowders, the first barbershop for Blacks. The area also contained some of the oldest Church Congregations and Engine Company No. 11, the first African-American firehall in the country, which served as a local gathering spot for Jefferson residents. There were small clubs, supper clubs, dance halls and jazzy night spots, beer joints, pool rooms and first-run movies at the Ritz. Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Little Richard, Ruth Brown and Nat King Cole played the Silver Streak or Del Morocco, owned by “Uncle” Teddy Acklen. And of course there was always the traditional T.S.U. homecoming parade down Jefferson. However in the 1960s the corridor lost 126 businesses as a direct result of integration and urban renewal. The construction of Interstate 40 bisected the street and cut off traffic to businesses. And when construction was completed the customers did not come back. Desegregation gave Black customers shopping choices in White stores. The once vibrant area was now a collection of businesses just holding on, boarded-up buildings, and cracking sidewalks. Some people said Jefferson Street was “gone but not forgotten.” To others it was “forgotten but not gone.” Several organizations have placed the economic revitalization of North Nashville in general and Jefferson Street in particular as their priority over the ensuing years. In 1994 J.U.M.P. was formed to help Jefferson Street business owners. According to a statement from the group, “We believe that the real revitalization of Jefferson will come from the people who own the property and are a part of the Jefferson Street Family – not just investors looking to make a fast buck and a fast exit.” Sharon Hurt, executive director of J.U.M.P. says that all development is not necessarily good for the district. “The Jefferson Street partnership has its eye on the future and keeps a close watch on how the new mixes with the past. Nobody wants economic success to mean that historic Jefferson ends up looking like an interstate exit full of thrown-up-overnight buildings and cookie cutter theme restaurants. When Jefferson Street business leaders asked Family Dollar to build their new store on Jefferson in keeping with the character of the street - the national chain dumped plans for their regular aluminum building and went to brick. Jefferson business partners all pretty much agree in the Fisk University doctrine of “we are not in the habit of tearing down what we can restore.” But is Jefferson Street viable in today’s Nashville? Mrs. Eunice Bell stated that Jefferson Street may be considered an historic or tourist site as it relates only to Blacks because of our three Black Universities located on Jefferson Street. It is like home to those individuals returning to Nashville because when they were first introduced to our city, Jefferson Street was their first stop and their home for at least four years or more. That is also the question the Tribune raised with Butch Spyridon who has served as president and CEO of the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau (NCVB) since 1991. On its Website, visitmusiccity.com, there is little mention of the district and the historical significance of Fisk, Meharry or TSU. Spyridon in essence said the district was not a tourist attraction. Miller Perry, publisher of The Tennessee Tribune agrees. She asked where would a tourist from Sweden visit on Jefferson Street? We can’t get our brothers and sisters from Brentwood to visit Jefferson Street to eat soul food so when African Americans say foreign tourist can eat soul food on Jefferson Street she says restaurants downtown have hired our soul food cooks and they offer the same southern cusine within walking distance of their hotels. She also says that most of the Jefferson Street businesses are owners and there is not much land left to build a new business even if a business person has the money. Miller Perry says we fought for integration with no

with historic Jefferson Street). She said the mayor has not helped the Black community as she envisioned but she will give him another shot, after all he will be running for governor one day. She believes the salvation of Jefferson Street will center around Meharry, Fisk and Tennessee State University, not as a tourist attraction. Miller Perry said the Event Center being built at Meharry is cruicial for Jefferson Street. She feels the mayor owes the Black community some of the millions he has spent in the white community and that is where the mayor can spend money he owes our community in establishing a first class College Food Court. This would pay back the Black community for supporting White politicans who visit our churches when they run for election and do nothing for “our” community once they are elected. No Nashville mayor has made any major contributions to Jefferson Street other than A Walk Down Historic Jefferson Street plant a few flowers, which is also considered an insult.

Rankins Joins First Freedom Bank in Lebanon
IRS Reminds Taxpayers to Report Roth Conversions WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service reminds taxpayers who converted amounts to a Roth IRA or designated Roth account in 2010 that in most cases they must report half of the resulting taxable income on their 2012 returns. Normally, Roth conversions are taxable in the year the conversion occurs. For example, the taxable amount from a 2012 conversion must be included in full on a 2012 return. But under a special rule that applied only to 2010 conversions, taxpayers generally include half the taxable amount in their income for 2011 and half for 2012, unless they chose to include all of it in income on their 2010 return. Roth conversions in 2010 from traditional IRAs are shown on 2012 Form
1040, Line 15b, or Form 1040A, Line 11b. Conversions from workplace retirement plans, including in-plan rollovers to designated Roth accounts, are reported on Form 1040, Line 16b, or Form 1040A, Line 12b. Taxpayers who also received Roth distributions in either 2010 or 2011 may be able to report a smaller taxable amount for 2012. For details, see the discussionunder 2012 Reporting of 2010 Roth Rollovers and Conversions on IRS.gov. In addition, worksheets and examples can be found in Publication 590for Roth IRA conversions and Publication 575 for conversions to designated Roth accounts. Taxpayers who made Roth conversions in 2012 or are planning to do so in 2013 or later years must file Form 8606to report the conversion.

Catholic Charities Introduces CHAP Family Services to Bedford County SHELBYVILLE, TN — Catholic Charities of Tennessee has introduced its Creating Hope by Assisting Parents (CHAP) program to Bedford County, according to Marie Gilland, Child Welfare Services program coordinator for the agency. The program serves families whose primary language is Spanish. “CHAP provides parenting education, crisis intervention, and case management for families experiencing life stressors that impact parenting abilities,” said Gilland. “One of the unique aspects of Catholic Charities’ CHAP program is that the CHAP counselor goes to the client.” Catholic Charities also operates CHAP initiatives in Davidson and Montgomery Counties. Elena Brizuela will serve as Catholic Charities’ inaugural CHAP parent counselor in Bedford County. Before joining Catholic Charities late last year, she was with South Central Human Resource Agency’s Head Start program in Bedford County. Brizuela is based in Bedford County and has seven years of Family Service experience. “CHAP counselors use the Nurturing Program and Five Protective Factors to promote better parenting skills and strengthen fami-

lies,” explained Brizuela. “With this program, parents are educated about normal developmental stages and how to care for and discipline their children in appropriate ways.” “Weekly services are provided in the home, so parents have an opportunity to practice the skills they are learning in a natural setting,” Brizuela continued. The project is funded under an agreement with the State of Tennessee Department of Children’s Services. The CHAP program serves families with children from infancy to age 8. Some of the more common topics addressed include child development, communication, nurturing and caring, and family routines. There is no fee for this service and it is not time limited. Services are available to Bedford County families, without regard to religious, ethnic, racial, or cultural background. For more information on Catholic Charities’ CHAP/Bedford County program, call 931-801-7770 or link to Catholic Charities of Tennessee at http://www.cctenn.org/services/ children/parenting-services.

Leymah Gbowee
NASHVILLE, TN — Belmont University School of Nursing announced today an expansion of its degree program for the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) to support national efforts to increase the number of nurse professionals prepared for advanced practice and leadership in the healthcare industry. The School is now accepting applications for fall enrollment to a BSN-to-DNP program which provides a direct pathway to the doctoral degree for registered nurses (RNs) who hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).

This two-year program is offered in a unique format allowing working professionals from clinical, organizational and leadership expertise designed to meet the changing demands of the present and future healthcare system. Students interested in the BSNto-DNP can learn more atwww. belmont.edu/dnp, which includes an opportunity to register for upcoming information sessions.

New Life Program ‘Opens Doors’ Says Alumni By A.J. Dugger III
Life has been improving for Adam Flowers ever since he graduated from The New Life Program last November. The 30 year-old father credits the program with pointing him in the right direction after a frustrating dry spell. Originally from Chicago, Flowers moved to Nashville in 2004. He has a total of four children, (all boys) but is currently fighting for custody for two boys he had with a former girlfriend. Last fall, a friend referred him to The New Life Program, a Nashville organization that provides resources to fathers that need assistance. Every New Life participant gets something different out of the program. For Flowers, it was confidence, though he was already sufficient in his fathering skills. “I didn’t need the program to say that I was a good father,” he said. “But I got a lot of confidence from it. I never thought I would have a GED. At New Life, they gave me the confidence to apply for jobs.” Flowers’ plan was to receive his GED but he says that he got that
Adam Flowers has had many opportunities open up for him after graduating from The New Life Program last November
and a lot more. “New Life gave me the confidence to follow through with the GED program as well as their program,” he said. Using that new-found confidence, Flowers has been applying for jobs and speaking at several events in the community. He will speak at the next New Life graduating class’ ceremony, and has an opportunity for I.T. Training next month. After graduating last November, opportunities opened up for him left and right. “It was one door after another,” said Flowers. “New Life definitely has their resources.” Because of his success after the program and seeing how well The New Life Program handles business, Flowers is quick to encourage fathers to participate. “They teach men how to dress properly and present yourself during job interviews. They help you get clothes. There are a lot of dads out there that want to be good fathers but just don’t have the opportunity. New Life will provide that for them.” For more information on The New Life Program, call (615) 340-8989. They are located at 311 23rd Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee 37203
How the Automatic Budget Cuts Will Affect TN By Ronald W. Weathersby
The ongoing confrontation between the White House and Republicans in Congress over the federal budget is getting worse this time in a new attempt to avert the “sequestration” process which is scheduled to take place March 1. Sequestration is a series of automatic, across-the-board cuts to government agencies, totaling $1.2 trillion over 10 years. The cuts would be split 50-50 between defense and domestic discretionary spending. With Tennessee Republicans in Congress in total agreement to oppose any plan by the president the White House released a list of cuts that will hit the Volunteer State if no remedy is forthcoming. Unfortunately it seems that the majority of the cuts will negatively affect people who can least afford it Teachers and Schools: Tennessee will lose approximately $14.8 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting around 200 teacher and aide jobs at risk. In addition about 32,000 fewer students would be served and ap-
proximately 60 fewer schools would receive funding. Additionally, Tennessee will lose approximately $11.7 million in funds for about 140 teachers, aides, and staff who help children with disabilities. Work-Study Jobs: Around 1,660 fewer low income students in Tennessee would receive aid to help them finance the costs of college and around 720 fewer students will get work-study jobs that help them pay for college. Head Start: Head Start and Early Head Start services would be eliminated for approximately 1,200 children in Tennessee, reducing access to critical early education. Protections for Clean Air and Clean Water: Tennessee would lose about $2,211,000 in funding to ensure clean water and air quality, as well as prevent pollution from pesticides and hazardous waste. In addition, Tennessee could lose another $1,216,000 in grants for fish and wildlife protection. Military Readiness: In Tennessee, approximately 7,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by
around $36.9 million in total. U.S. Army base operation funding would be cut by about $1.9 million in Tennessee. Law Enforcement and Public Safety Funds for Crime Prevention and Prosecution: Tennessee will lose about $367,000 in Justice Assistance Grants that support law enforcement, prosecution and courts, crime prevention and education, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment and enforcement, and crime victim and witness initiatives. Job Search Assistance to help those in Tennessee find employment and training: Tennessee will lose about $681,000 in funding for job search assistance, referral, and placement, meaning around 24,050 fewer people will get the help and skills they need to find employment. Child Care: Up to 800 disadvantaged and vulnerable children could lose access to child care, which is also essential for working parents to hold down a job. Vaccines for Children: In Tennessee around 2,590 fewer children will receive vaccines for diseases such as measles,
mumps, rubella, tetanus, whooping cough, influenza, and Hepatitis B due to reduced funding for vaccinations of about $177,000. Public Health: Tennessee will lose approximately $606,000 in funds to help upgrade its ability to respond to public health threats including infectious diseases, natural disasters, and biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological events. In addition, Tennessee will lose about $1,480,000 in grants to help prevent and treat substance abuse, resulting in around 700 fewer admissions to substance abuse programs. And the Tennessee State Department of Health will lose about $252,000 resulting in around 6,300 fewer HIV tests. STOP Violence Against Women Program: Tennessee could lose up to $136,000 in funds that provide services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in up to 500 fewer victims being served. Nutrition assistance for seniors: Tennessee would lose approximately $1,031,000 in funds that provide meals for seniors.
TSU Legislative Interns Make Big Presence at TN Capitol NASHVILLE (TSU News Service) - For many Tennessee students during this time of the year, juggling the demands of class work and serving as interns at the State Capitol can be challenging. But the suspense to know if you are among the lucky few who will get the rare privilege to work along side the state’s lawmakers in the General Assembly, can be an even greater challenge. Well, for 13 TSU students, the worrying is over. They have earned the coveted title as legislative interns. In fact, they are perhaps the largest group of in-
terns from any school in the state serving in the Capitol this year. This year’s group of 13 is “one of TSU’s strongest ever,” consisting mostly of seniors from nine different majors, to serve at the Capitol, according to Dr. Brian Russell, Assistant Professor of Political Science and Legislative Liaison for TSU. “This is an exciting program that allows our students to serve our community and state, while working alongside legislators and staff at the Capitol,” said Dr. Russell. Being selected a legislative intern is
not easy. It’s competitive. The process can be rigorous and very demanding - sometime including seminars, workshops and writing papers – to be sure a student is well prepared. “I was worried that I would not be selected even after meeting a lot of the requirements,” said Akudo Amadi, a senior English major from Nashville, who already has a double legislative assignment with Rep. Brenda Gilmore (DNashville), and Rep. Barbara Cooper (D-Memphis), two TSU graduates. “This is quite a big honor. I didn’t know it was this big. I thought it was going to be just us from TSU, but there are students from every university in the state,” she said. At TSU, getting students ready each year for legislative internships is coordinated through the Department of Political Science and the Career Development Center. Applicants participate in professional development exercises to help them write and expand their resumes, as well as work on interviewing skills. The rare privilege to serve as a legislative intern offers many opportunities for future careers, and encourages a high level of personal interaction between legislators and interns. “It also gives our students the chance to learn the legislative process, get a better understanding of our political institutions, and develop a deeper meaning of citizenship,” added Dr. Russell. Like Starr Jones, a member of Phi Alpha Delta PreLaw fraternity, and a senior Communications major from Cincinnati, she sees this as a “huge” opportunity.
“This could lead to a full-time staff position and open the door to a wide range of opportunities,” said Jones, who like Amadi, plans to study law after TSU. “I know it will require hard work but I am ready.” Starr will intern in the office of Rep. Tony Shipley (R-Kingsport). Interns along with Amadi who are also holding double legislative assignments are: Leslie Hughes, senior Agricultural Sciences, assigned to Rep. Sheila Butt, Vice Chair, State Government Committee, and Rep. Timothy Hill (RBlountville); and Rashaun Pool, senior Political Science, assigned to Rep. Glen Casada, House Majority Leader; and Rep. John DeBerry (R-Memphis). Other interns and their legislative assignments are: Lauren, Amos, senior Business Administration - Speaker Pro Tempore Rep. Curtis Johnson; Brian Williams, graduate student – MPA Speaker Beth Harwell; Aaron Conyers, junior Political Science - Rep. Harold Love (D-Nashville); Jada Flowers, junior Political Science - Rep. Harry Brooks (R-Knoxville); James Marlow, senior Psychology, Rep. Joe Towns (D-Memphis); Paul Marsh, junior Political Science, Rep. Ryan Haynes (R-Knoxville); Miranda McDonald, senior Sociology - Rep. Bob Ramsey, Chair, Health Committee; Shelby Rogers, senior Political Science - Rep. Matthew Hill, Chair, Local Government Committee; and Marian Short, senior Criminal Justice - Rep. Johnny Shaw (D-Bolivar).

TSU Student Affairs Earns Recognition Award
Dr. A. Dexter Samuels
NASHVILLE (TSU News Service) – The Division of Student Affairs at Tennessee State University has earned the 2012 Interest Recognition Award in the annual Excellence in Tennessee recognition program administered by the Tennessee Center for Performance Excellence. The award was presented Feb. 20 during the 20th Anniversary Excellence in Tennessee awards banquet. “I am pleased that the Division of Student Affairs has been recognized for their hard work and dedication to improve our services to students,” said Dr. A. Dexter Samuels, Associate Vice President for Student Affairs. “The staff truly embodies ‘Students First’ and our continued work with TNCPE will further advance this philosophy.”
We have many objects of desire.
TNCPE recognizes high-performance organizations that exhibit continuous improvement and best practice processes through an annual evaluation and assessment process. This is the first year the Division has submitted a self-assessment to the organization, which assisted them in identifying the needs of students, and documented the efforts to provide quality services. “TNCPE will provide us a feedback report in a few weeks on what they believe our strengths to be and any opportunities we can pursue,” added Samuels. Organizations like TSU apply to the TNCPE program at one of four levels. A four-tiered process, TSU received recognition at the level one, Interest Recognition or beginner level. As the levels increase, so
does the depth and complexity of the application process, which is based on the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. According to Samuels, the Division of Student Affairs will apply for the second level, the Commitment Award, for 2013. Other levels include the level three-advanced tier Achievement Award, and the highest level, the Excellence Award. Since the program was founded in 1993, only 22 organizations have attained the Excellence designation. Along with Tennessee State University, this year TNCPE named 35 organizations as 2012 Award winners, representing outstanding achievement in industry sectors such as health care, manufacturing, service, education, government and nonprofit.

The bottom line is this: the moment that best-sellers Covenant With Black America, What I we are currently in right now, on this date, is history. By Janice Malone
My point is the present is history. We often think of history as the past. History is actually the present. How so you may ask? We know of all of these great leaders, heroes and heroines that we celebrate in Black History Month. When they did these various accomplishments that we’re now celebrating, for them it wasn’t history—it was the present at the time. In the moment they were challenged, in the moment they were called to bring their resources together, in the moment they were called upon to act with courage, commitment and character, for them it was the present. It’s a very simple way of saying that the present is history. So at this present moment, if there’s going to be any future history celebrated, we have to step up. That’s one of the reasons that I’m so serious about the work that I do. People often don’t understand why Tavis did this or why Tavis did that? It’s all about understanding that the present is history. In the moment that I live, I don’t want to be guilty in the future of not having said or done what needed to be said and done when I was in the present. When it comes to the criminalization of our children, somebody’s got to speak on that. And when it comes to pushing our President, I love our President. I voted for him twice. I’m glad he won twice. He was a whole lot better than McCain and Romney. But when it comes to pushing the President to do certain things that need to be done on black unemployment, better education for black kids, blacks who lost their houses, etc., on all of these issues the President’s got to be pushed. If the Gay community, the Jewish Lobbyists, Wall Street and others can all push him, then why can’t his most loyal constituency should be able to push him as well. That’s not hating on the President. It is understanding what the present situation is that we are up against and what are we going to do in this present moment to make sure that history does not find us wanting and having sat on our hands, with closed lips and ears, ignoring the challenges of our time.” For more information, visit www.tavistalks.com

Nashville Reads Begins With Yann Martel
NASHVILLE, TN — Nashville Public Library this spring will launch the second Nashville Reads, a citywide reading campaign to encourage teens and adults to read the same book at the same time to create a shared experience of reading in the city. “The Life of Pi,” a novel by internationally acclaimed author Yann Martel, is the book selection for Nashville Reads. Martel will present a lecture March 2 from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. at Nashville Public Library as a kickoff to the event. “This vibrant novel is a great example of a book that sparks both imagination and contemplation,” Mayor Karl Dean said. “It’s a great read, and I encourage teens and adults to join me in Nashville Reads and participate in community events and discussions.” Nashville Reads is a program of the Nashville Public Library and is supported by many community institutions. It is a partnership between the office of Mayor Karl Dean, Parnassus Books, Humanities Tennessee, Houghton Mifflin and the Nashville Public Library Foundation.

Scarritt-Bennett to Present Free Screening NASHVILLE, TN — In celebration of Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, the community is invited to a film screening of “Invoking Justice” on Saturday, March 2, 2013 from 5:00 p.m. - 7:15 p.m. at Scarritt-Bennett Center’s Fondren Hall. The film takes a look at women in India who are making a difference in their communities to overcome gender barriers and other obstacles to claim a voice in their societies and empower others. An audience discussion will follow the screening. The event is free, but RSVP’s are encouraged by calling (615) 3407557 or online at http://conta.cc/ VYzeaz. Scarritt-Bennett Center is located at 1008 19th Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee 37212. About “Invoking Justice” In Southern India, family disputes are settled by Jamaats – all male bodies which apply Islamic Sharia law to cases without allow-
ing women to be present, even to defend themselves. Recognizing this fundamental inequity, a group of women in 2004 established a women’s Jamaat, which soon became a network of 12,000 members spread over 12 districts. Despite enormous resistance, they have been able to settle more than 8,000 cases to date, ranging from divorce to wife beating to brutal murders and more. Award-winning filmmaker Deepa Dhanraj follows several cases, shining a light on how the women’s Jamaat has acquired power through both communal education and the leaders’ persistent, tenacious and compassionate investigation of the crimes. Above all, the women’s Jamaat exists to hold their male counterparts and local police to account, and to reform a profoundly corrupt system. The film has English subtitles.
WHAT: Invoking Justice: An International Women’s Day Film Screening, A free and open to the public film screening that takes a look at women in Southern India who are working to overcome legal injustices based on gender.

TERRI’S REVIEW “Double Victory”
Unconditional Ealy!
Terri Schlichenmeyer
Review by Terri Schlichenmeyer Kam Williams
By Kam Williams
Michael Ealy feature films include Think Like a Man, Barbershop, Seven Pounds, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Never Die Alone, For Colored Girls, Miracle at St. Anna, Takers and Underworld: Awakening. In 2007, he received a Golden Globe Award nomination for his role in Showtime’s Sleeper Cell. Meanwhile, on TV, he’s appeared in ABC’s Flashforward and CBS’s The Good Wife. Here, the versatile thespian talks about starring in Unconditional, an inspirational, faithbased feature. In this bittersweet tale of redemption, he portrays Papa Joe Bradford, a real-life role model who, despite kidney disease, teams with a recentlywidowed, childhood friend (Lynn Collins) to make a difference in the lives of needy kids in Nashville. KW: What interested you in Unconditional? ME: It started with the script. I kind of fell in love with some of the miraculous, lyrical and poetic nature of the writing. Ultimately, I still had to respond to the role. And I did respond to the character. The fact that this guy was a real person, someone who, after turning his own life around, was doing everything in his power to influence the development of youth in his neighborhood made me feel like this was an important movie to do. KW: Did you get to meet the real Papa Joe Bradford in the process of making the movie? ME: Yes, sir, and we’re still good friends to this day. KW: Editor/legist Patricia Turnier says she loves your performance in Think Like a Man because you made your character really believable. She asks: What does Papa Joe’s philanthropy mean to you? ME: It’s tough for me to see Papa Joe as a philanthropist because I generally think of philanthropy on a grander scale. For instance, I consider Bill Cosby a philanthropist because of all the colleges and charities he supports. I see Papa Joe as more grassroots. With him, it’s not so much about big changes as it is about an individual’s daily effort. It’s a lot like what a

teacher does. When I visit a school, and students get excited, I always tell them, “It’s not me you should be listening to, it’s your teachers, because they’re here every day.” It’s that sort of commitment that Papa made, even though he had his own family, seven kids. Yet, he still finds the time to be daddy to a lot of other children, too. He’s there on a daily basis. I can’t give that. That means a lot. That is special. That is extraordinary. KW: Patricia goes on to say that friendship is one of the main themes in Unconditional where the lead character reconnects with an old friend. She’s wondering whether you have a best friend with whom you would like to reconnect. ME: No, me and my three best friends from childhood never stopped being boys. KW: Patricia also recognizes you as the love interest in music videos by both Beyonce’ and Mariah Carey. She wonders whether you plan to play the hunk again opposite a pop diva in another upcoming video. ME: No, not really. KW: On a similar note, children’s book author Irene Smalls asks: Is being so good-looking ever a drawback because people try to typecast you in your career? ME: [Chuckles] Yes. KW: Irene would also like to know what’s up next for you. ME: I am about to start shooting the remake of About Last Night, an adaptation of David Mamet’s play Sexual Perversity in Chicago. KW: Is there any question no one ever asks that you wish someone would? ME: If you could change anything about yourself, what would that be? KW: Last time we spoke, I asked you to come up with a generic Michael Ealy question. Did you think of one yet? ME: Yeah, if you could talk to anyone who has passed on, who would that be and what would you say?

I did so much for boyfriend and still got rejected!
Gwendolyn Baines
Dear Gwendolyn: I have dated my boyfriend for about nine years on and off. I do love him and for years I had hopes of marrying this man. This is the problem: I have invested my time and my money into him. About four years ago I was shopping at a thrift store and noticed a wedding dress. It looked like new. I bought it because his male friend had hinted to me that my boyfriend was going to propose to me that upcoming Christmas. I started setting the date and looking at other options of where the wed-
ding would take place. Well, Christmas came and Christmas went and no proposal. I was devastated almost to the point of losing my mind. Gwendolyn, what’s taking him so long to marry me? I know he loves me. Tina Dear Tina: When the proposal didn’t come, you should have terminated the relationship. You didn’t have to date for nine years. You actually didn’t. You must come to the realization that maybe, just maybe, your friend is not the person for you. Open your eyes Tina, truly it is clear he is not worthy of you. Keep in mind that men do not seem to love as strongly as women. In some cases, however, men do love strongly, but usually those strong out of sight emotions result in violence. Another error you made
was to listen to his friend. He may have indicated to his friend he was going to propose to you – and then had a change of mind. You stated in your letter this man has a felon and cannot get a job. You mentioned you stood by him when he went to jail and you stood by him when he had a drug problem. Gee, Tina, you did too much – as most women do. Don’t waste your future any longer on this man. Some men appreciate the good of a woman, but think about it ---most men don’t. (Copyright © 2013 by Gwendolyn L. Baines) ***Got a problem? Don’t solve it alone. Write to Gwendolyn Baines at: P. O.

You only wanted a job. You needed a little spending money, a way to put food on the table, something to do that meant something or made a difference. So you applied for positions that sounded good and paid well, or seemed interesting and came with opportunity. Humans, it’s believed, are wired for work. We need to contribute somehow, in some meaningful way. But as you’ll see in the new book “Double Victory” by Cheryl Mullenbach, some jobs don’t come without a double battle. Shortly after the U.S. entered World War II in 1941, a desperate call went out for workers because America’s men were going to war. White women were encouraged to do the jobs their men had left behind. Black women wanted to do their part, too. They saw a chance to help win the war and to make better money: many of them were getting $2 a week as domestics, while factory jobs might pay twenty times that. Time and time again, however, they were turned away - even though President Franklin Roosevelt had signed Executive Order 8802, which encouraged “full participation in the national defense program by all citizens… regardless of race…” Emboldened, black women kept trying for jobs and, eventually, despite ongoing discrimination, there was such a strong need for workers that some were finally hired (although still segregated). At first, the jobs were menial or purposely difficult

in the hopes that the women would quit. But they didn’t, which encouraged other black women to bust barriers wide open. Even Black Hollywood got into the effort to win the war. No doubt about it, “Double Victory” is an eye-opener, especially for the generations born post-WWII. Through interviews, newspaper accounts, books, documents, and diaries, author Cheryl Mullenbach tells the story of a courageous group of women who were determined to serve their country, even when it seemed that no one wanted them to. It’s shocking to see how black women endured more severe discrimination than did their male counterparts, and I was surprised at the almost-ridiculous the lengths to which segregation went to keep black women as more than second-class citizens. I almost wanted to cheer as I read each individual story that Mullenbach includes here; these were women who were tough as nails and as tenacious as pitbulls in Army-issued “exercise dresses.”

Dr. Kathy Martin, Associate Dean in the College of Health Sciences and Executive Director of Nursing, with whom Vaughan worked for many years, called the late educator a leader in fostering excellence in education within the nursing profession. “Throughout her career as a nurse educator, Dr. Vaughan served as a role model, scholar and mentor for nursing students and colleagues across all levels,” Dr. Martin said. “She exemplified the vital role that nurses play in improving the health of others especially in the area of diabetes management and improving health care disparities.”
History. “His commitment to non-violent social change and to the gospel ministry were not two different commitments, but a unified discipleship lived out in Nashville, Memphis and Los Angeles. It is wonderful that we will have his papers here close by to teach us that lesson again, just as he taught our students each time he served as a distinguished visiting professor.” Lawson, described by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as “the leading nonviolence theorist in the world,” studied the Gandhian movement in India as a young man. Lawson first met King in the spring of 1957 when Lawson was a student at the Oberlin Graduate School of Theology. King encouraged him to head south immediately to work in the struggle for civil rights. Lawson applied as a transfer student from Oberlin to Vanderbilt Divinity School in 1958 and began his studies that fall. In addition, he helped organize sit-ins by African American students, which led to the end of racial segregation of lunch counters in downtown Nashville. In 1960 the executive committee of the Vanderbilt Board of Trust voted to expel Lawson from the university for his role in the movement. The expulsion generated national headlines and prompted some Vanderbilt faculty members to resign in protest. A compromise was worked out later to allow Lawson to complete his degree from Vanderbilt, but he chose to transfer to Boston University. After leaving Vanderbilt, Lawson served as director of
TSU President, Dr. Glenda Glover, said the University family was saddened to lose “such an outstanding” educator. “We will miss Dr. Vaughan. However, her work as a trailblazer and an educator in the field of nursing is a tremendous legacy she has left Tennessee State that will not be forgotten.” “Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.” Dr. Vaughan joined the faculty in the Division of Nursing in the former School of Nursing at TSU in 1977. In addition to teaching, she served in many capacities including coordinator of the RNBSN degree-completion program, and interim director of the BSN program – all while serving in different nursing capacities at local hospitals. Dr. Vaughan also served as the chair of the Christine Sharpe Lectureship se-
ries, an annual program that provides TSU nursing students and community leaders the opportunity to dialogue and exchange ideas with key nursing leaders from around the country. Her civic and professional affiliations included the American Nurses Association, American Diabetes Association, Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society-Pi Upsilon Chapter, Chi Eta Phi Nursing Sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority-Kappa Lambda Omega Chapter, and the Parthenon LINKS. Dr. Vaughan, who earned a B.S. degree in Psychology from TSU, received a master’s degree in Nursing from Vanderbilt University, and a Ph.D., also in Nursing, from Texas Woman’s University.

D’Onofrio felt that his only option was to sell the scrutiny of the police, planning, zoning and building departments after he made alleged misrepresentations to the Planning Board about the use of the Green Room. Zoning officials claimed that the restaurant was actually a night club after Method Man appeared. All parties agree that night clubs are prohibited in the borough. Officials gave no further explanation, but did acknowledge that entertainment was prevalent at the Sawmill Café for more than 20 years prior to the Method Man event. D’Onofrio noted he received the borough’s blessing in 2001 to move forward with a $4.5 million expansion of his then-iconic pizzeria and tavern on the Boardwalk. But as one former official expressed in a meeting to end “The Program” with D’Onofrio years after the Method Man show: “You couldn’t have Black Bands up here and not expect to have a problem.” The Sawmill Café’s problems included: · The Mayor and Council put multiple restrictions on the liquor license every year after the Method Man show, including a demand that tables and chairs on the second floor must not be moved or removed even after experts testify that it creates a fire hazard. · D’Onofrio drove the Sawmill Café’s manager, Kevin Kopacko, still bloodied by borough police, to the mayor’s home to show the abuse and attempted to open a dialogue with borough officials. (Kopacko later sued the borough and settled for $250,000.) · Seaside Park police collected more than $2,000 from Sawmill Café employees for Alcoholic Beverage Handler I.D. cards. To date, the ID cards have not been issued and no explanation given. The Planning Board revoked the restaurants’ Certificate of Occupancy (CO), and requested a letter from the borough engineer to support the revocation. D’Onofrio was convinced that the CO issue was just a ploy for the borough to reconvene and enact use restraints to prevent “Black Bands” from returning. According to court papers, Zoning Officer Geoffrey Schwartz waited until 2006 to cite the business with a violation of operating as a so-called “nightclub.” Swartz, who was involved with the expansion of the Sawmill Café from the very beginning and was considered “a regular” at the establishment prior to the Method Man show, knew that bands had played at the restaurant for years. Seaside Park Construction Official William Schultz – considered by D’Onofrio as the “poster boy” of abuse of power - spent years challenging the integrity of the Sawmill Café’s sprinkler system, which was repeatedly proven to comply with the engineers report. In 2011 letters were discovered from the borough engineer to both Schultz and other officials. The letters proved

Religion The Contributions and Challenges of Credible Leadership: Following God’s Lead Message by Rev. Jason Curry of Fisk Memorial Chapel
Rev. Jason Curry, Ph.D.
Black History Month is coming to a close, and we are indebted to those African-American leaders who have improved the lives of Americans, in general and African-Americans, in par-
ticular. The historical record reminds us that the American institution of slavery and subsequent Jim Crow laws presented these leaders with a number of political, economic, cultural and moral challenges; however, their belief in God and genuine concern for the overall wellbeing of AfricanAmericans helped them to effectively address many of the challenges of their day. Recently, members of the Fisk Family celebrated the birthday of W. E. B. DuBois, Class of 1888 (February 23, 1868). We are grateful for his national and international leadership on matters pertaining to Civil Rights. The contributions of W.E.B. DuBois and many others are even more fascinating when one considers that they
were often criticized by many of the African-American and Caucasian-American leaders of their day. Both the oral and written testimonies of these courageous, authentic and credible leaders have revealed that their faith in God, understanding of the interconnectedness of humanity and desire to help people maximize to their potential assisted them in overcoming the challenges and criticisms of their day. The book of Numbers provides us with a model of leadership which is significant for people who desire to lead others. Indeed, many of us are called to be leaders in our places of employment, civic clubs, fraternities, sororities and families. Numbers reminds us that Mo-
ses was the leader of the Israelite people; however, the Israelites often criticized him or “murmured against him (Numbers 14:2).” At one point, they wanted to elect a new “captain” to lead them back to Egypt (Numbers 14:4).” The people who Moses was leading were also fearful of the future. They did not want to go to Canaan because they thought of themselves as “grasshoppers” in a land of giants (Numbers 13:33). However, Moses never abandoned, persecuted, exploited, manipulated or degraded the people that God called him to lead. His leadership was credible, authentic, courageous and eventually fruitful because he sought guidance and direction from God (Number 14:19-20). Moses
lived hundreds of years before Jesus Christ, and, as Christians, we must never forget the profound leadership lessons that Jesus taught his disciples and many others during his day. Great strides have been made in American history because of credible and authentic AfricanAmerican and Christian leadership. As we seek to address some of the most profound challenges of our generation (e.g., sequestration, immigration reform, the “cradle to prison” pipeline), let us remember and emulate the great examples of credible, authentic and moral leadership that have been demonstrated by those who had the courage to initially and consistently follow God’ lead.
An Emotional Farewell, Pope’s Resignation Begins Thursday Night Before resigning from papal office on Feb. 28 at 8 p.m. Pope Benedict XVI held the last general audience of his papacy at St. Peter’s Square on Feb. 27 at 10:30 a.m. CET. Venerable Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood! Distinguished Authorities! Dear brothers and sisters! Thank you for coming in such large numbers to this last General Audience of my pontificate. Like the Apostle Paul in the biblical text that we have heard, I feel in my heart the paramount duty to thank God, who guides the Church and makes her grow: who sows His Word and thus nourishes the faith in His people. At this moment my spirit reaches out to embrace the whole Church throughout the world, and I thank God for the “news” that in these years of Petrine ministry I have been able to receive regarding the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity that circulates in the body of the Church – charity that makes the Church to live in love – and of the hope that opens for us the way towards the fullness of life, and directs us towards the heavenly homeland. I feel I [ought to] carry everyone in prayer, in a present that is God’s, where I recall every meeting, every voyage, every pastoral visit. I gather everyone and every thing in prayerful recollection, in order to entrust them to the Lord: in order that we might have full knowledge of His will, with every wisdom and spiritual understanding, and in order that we might comport ourselves in a manner that is worthy of Him, of His, bearing fruit in every good work (cf. Col 1:9-10). At this time, I have within myself a great trust [in God], because I know – all of us know – that the Gospel’s word of truth is the strength of the Church: it is her life. The Gospel purifies and renews: it bears fruit wherever the community of believers hears and welcomes the grace of God in truth and lives in charity. This is my faith, this is my joy. When, almost eight years ago, on April 19th, [2005], I agreed to take on the Petrine ministry, I held steadfast in this certainty, which has always accompanied me. In that moment, as I have already stated several times, the words that resounded in my heart were: “Lord, what do you ask of me? It a great weight that You place on my shoulders, but, if You ask me, at your word I will throw out the nets, sure that you will guide me” – and the Lord really has guided me. He has been close to me: daily could I feel His presence. [These years] have been a stretch of the Church’s pilgrim way, which has seen moments joy and light, but also difficult moments. I have felt like St. Peter with the Apostles in the boat on the Sea of Galilee: the Lord has given us many days of sunshine and gentle breeze, days in which the catch has been abundant; [then] there have been times when the seas were rough and the wind against us, as in the whole history of the Church it has ever been - and the Lord seemed to sleep. Nevertheless, I always knew that the Lord is in the barque, that the barque of the Church is not mine, not ours, but His - and He shall not let her sink. It is He, who steers her: to be sure, he does so also through men of His choosing, for He desired that it be so. This was and is a certainty that nothing can tarnish. It is for this reason, that today my heart is filled with gratitude to God, for never did He leave me or the Church without His consolation, His light, His love. At this time, however, it is not only God, whom I desire to thank. A Pope is not alone in guiding St. Peter’s barque, even if it is his first responsibility – and I have not ever felt myself alone in bearing either the joys or the weight of the Petrine ministry. The Lord has placed next to me many people, who, with generosity and love for God and the Church, have helped me and been close to me. First of all you, dear Brother Cardinals: your wisdom, your counsels, your friendship, were all precious to me. My collaborators, starting with my Secretary of State, who accompanied me faithfully over the years, the Secretariat of State and the whole Roman Curia, as well as all those who, in various areas, give their service to the Holy See: the many faces which never emerge, but remain in the background, in silence, in their daily commitment, with a spirit of faith and humility. They have been for me a sure and reliable support. A special thought [goes] to the Church of Rome, my diocese! I can not forget the Brothers in the Episcopate and in the Priesthood, the consecrated persons and the entire People of God: in pastoral visits, in public encounters, at Audiences, in traveling, I have always received great care and deep affection; I also loved each and every one, without exception, with that pastoral charity which is the heart of every shepherd, especially
the Bishop of Rome, the Successor of the Apostle Peter. Every the power of His Spirit. day I carried each of you in my prayers, with the father’s heart. Let us invoke the maternal intercession of Mary, Mother I wish my greetings and my thanks to reach everyone: the of God and of the Church, that she might accompany each of heart of a Pope expands to [embrace] the whole world. I would us and the whole ecclesial community: to her we entrust ourlike to express my gratitude to the Diplomatic Corps accred- selves, with deep trust. ited to the Holy See, which makes present the great family of Dear friends!

Let us never lose this munication, whom I thank for their important service. vision of faith, which is the only true vision of the way of the At this point I would like to offer heartfelt thanks to all Church and the world. In our heart, in the heart of each of you, the many people throughout the whole world, who, in recent let there be always the joyous certainty that the Lord is near, weeks have sent me moving tokens of concern, friendship that He does not abandon us, that He is near to us and that He and prayer. Yes, the Pope is never alone: now I experience this surrounds us with His love. Thank you! [truth] again in a way so great as to touch my very heart. The Pope belongs to everyone, and so many people feel very close to him. It’s true that I receive letters from the world’s greatest figures - from the Heads of State, religious leaders, representatives of the world of culture and so on. I also receive many letters from ordinary people who write to me simply from their heart and let me feel their affection, which is born of our being together in Christ Jesus, in the Church. These people do not write me as one might write, for example, to a prince or a great figure one does not know. They write as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, with the sense of very affectionate family ties. Here, one can touch what the Church is – not an organization, not an association for religious or humanitarian purposes, but a living body, a community of brothers and sisters in the Body of Jesus Christ, who unites us all. To experience the Church in this way and almost be able to touch with one’s hands the power of His truth and His love, is a source of joy, in a time in which many speak of its decline. In recent months, I felt that my strength had decreased, and I asked God with insistence in prayer to enlighten me with His light to make me take the right decision – not for my sake, but for the good of the Church. I have taken this step in full awareness of its severity and also its novelty, but with a deep peace of mind. Loving the Church also means having the courage to make difficult, trying choices, having ever before oneself the good of the Church and not one’s own. Here allow me to return once again to April 19, 2005. The gravity of the decision was precisely in the fact that from that moment on I was committed always and forever by the Lord. Always – he, who assumes the Petrine ministry no longer has any privacy. He belongs always and totally to everyone, to the whole Church. His life is, so to speak, totally deprived of the private sphere. I have felt, and I feel even in this very moment, that one receives one’s life precisely when he offers it as a gift. I said before that many people who love the Lord also love the Successor of Saint Peter and are fond of him, that the Pope has truly brothers and sisters, sons and daughters all over the world, and that he feels safe in the embrace of their communion, because he no longer belongs to himself, but he belongs to all and all are truly his own. Wednesday Bible Study The “always” is also a “forever” - there is no return11:30am & 6:30pm ing to private life. My decision to forgo the exercise of active ministry, does not revoke this. I do not return Sunday Services to private life, to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, Praise & Worship Service conferences and so on. I do not abandon the cross, but 7:30am & 10am remain in a new way near to the Crucified Lord. I no longer wield the power of the office for the governChildren’s Church 10am ment of the Church, but in the service of prayer I remain, so to speak, within St. Peter’s bounds.

I continue to accompany the Church on her way through prayer and reflection, with the dedication to the Lord and to His Bride, which I have hitherto tried to live daily and that I would live forever. I ask you to remember me before God, and above all to pray for the Cardinals, who are called to so important a task, and for the new Successor of Peter, www.TempleChurch.org that the Lord might accompany him with the light and

Team Building - A Secret to Fundraising Success Part one of a two-part series Will hiring a fundraising professional solve your fundraising challenges? Is it your secret wish that someone will take care of fundraising so you can focus on the “more important” work of your nonprofit? Perhaps you seek a million dollar bequest from an unknown admirer. Here’s the real secret to sustained fundraising success: create and support a fundraising team that meets regularly and “owns” your fundraising. That’s it. You can’t do it on your own. No one person can solve all your challenges. You have to build
and grow a team that includes your volunteers, staff, executive leadership and board members. Your team should be comprised of leaders who are committed to ensuring your nonprofit has the money and resources it needs to deliver on its mission. Here are the benefits. A fundraising leadership team helps create accountability and transparency. Members are accountable to each other. Each member knows the commitments, roles, and responsibilities of all other members. There are no secrets. If there is a lull in gifts received, the full team knows about it. When new gifts are received, members know about it. When fundraising
management reports are shared at each meeting, team members can monitor the progress of fundraising activities, ask pertinent questions, and work with each other to create new strategies and work-arounds. Your team should meet on a regular basis to report progress and challenges. Members should work collaboratively to help your organization reach its fundraising goal. They should be empowered to make decisions, and the decisions made by this team should be respected and implemented by fundraising volunteers and employees. With a strong fundraising leadership team, the actions of staff, board members, and volunteers are open to review by team members. Financial progress and expenses are reported regularly at these meetings. Members have the opportunity to share information and coordinate their activities. When you have engaged qualified volunteers to assist with fundraising, you will be amazed at the solutions they come up with. The key to an effective fundraising
leadership team is for it to be volunteer-led with support from staff. That means the fundraising chair leads the team meetings, not the executive director or chief development officer. It means that staff support the work of the fundraising chair by producing and distributing fundraising reports and taking and quickly distributing minutes that accurately capture action items and next steps. If you have selected a qualified fundraising chair and clearly defined his responsibilities, you will be amazed how he can assist you in meeting your goals. He can do this because he has made them his goals. He is no longer helping your organization; he is now orchestrating and attracting people and resources for something he believes in. Next week: team membership and meetings © Mel and Pearl Shaw, Excerpted from “Prerequisites for Fundraising Success” a new book from Mel and Pearl Shaw, available from Amazon.com.

The Jabberwock experience spans over a six month period and allows girls between the ages of 6 to 18 to be exposed to cultural, educational and social programs that promote intellectual development. The culminating affair grants these amazing young women the opportunity to showcase their talents in a pageant competition and possibly be crowned Miss Jabberwock 2013. The Minerva Foundation of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated will roll out the “Red Carpet” to welcome Nashvillians to Jabberwock 2013: A Sensational Centennial Celebration. The event will take place on Saturday, March 9, 2013, beginning at 7:00 p.m. The I.T. Creswell Arts Magnet School Auditorium will be the site of the extravaganza. The cost to attend the talent expo is $20.00 per person. To pur-
chase tickets, contact Twila Smith at twila018@hotmail.com or call 615-804-6576. The “Ladies in Red” will utilize the proceeds from the Jabberwock experience to fund scholarships for deserving high school students in the Metropolitan area and other worthy endeavors of the organization. The guiding theme for this glamorous event is “Girls Run the World!” The celebration will highlight the strides that women have made over the last 100 years. Special emphasis will be placed on girl power, potential and promise! The event is open to the public and the City of Nashville is strongly encouraged to attend this mesmerizing evening of performances.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
TSU Loses First Home Game By Ron Wynn
Tennessee State University dominated Loyola (Md.) for almost 30 minutes Saturday night, but faltered badly down the stretch, losing 69-67 at the Gentry Center. It was the Tigers’ first home defeat this season, and prevented them from tying their record for most home court victories during a year. They’ve also won 20 of their last 22 at the Gentry Center. No one anticipated there would be any problems after TSU had one of its best offensive first halves, scoring 49 points and forging an 11-point lead. They were ahead by 13 early in the second half. Then they couldn’t make any shots from the floor for nearly 10 minutes. TSU’s last four points were at the foul line. They had just 18 for the entire second half. Loyola stormed back, outscoring the Tigers 31-18. They managed the comeback despite being outrebounded 3530 and making only two of 14 three-pointers. TSU made six of its 14 long-range shots, but couldn’t execute its offense once Kellen Thornton fouled out. Thornton had been extremely effective inside throughout the first half, but picked up his fourth foul at the midpoint of the second half. He fouled out a few moments later, and the TSU offense completely stalled. Patrick

This Day in Sports
On this day in 1918, Calvin Murphy set a National Basketball Association record for consecutive free throws made, hitting his 78th in a row. Eventually Murphy would set records that season for both consecutive free throws made and free throw percentage in a season. While both those records were subsequently broken, Murphy’s mark of being the shortest player in the Basketball Hall of Fame (five feet, nine inches) seems safe. He had an exceptional career at both the college and pro levels. He was a three-time All-American at Niagara, scoring 2,548 points and averaging 33.1 points a game. He was in the NBA from 1970-1983, averaging nearly 18 points a game. His number was retired by the Rockets and he was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1993.
time where I was asking guys; what number of overtime is this? It was crazy, but just something we had to push through.” Tennessee won its eighth SEC game in 14 tries (16-10) overall. Texas A&M dropped to 6-8 in the conference (16-11 overall). The Vols’ biggest worry now is that they wouldn’t be overly fatigued going into Tuesday night’s huge game against SEC leader Florida in Knoxville. The 8 p.m. contest aired on ESPN. Their Saturday game against Georgia is on WUXP-30 at 12:30 p.m. Things were looking bleak much of Sunday’s game for the Lady Vols. They were down 11 to Arkansas on the road, and it seemed like history might repeat itself. But Meighan Simmons personally prevented Tennessee from losing for a second straight year to the Razorbacks. Her 18 points helped Tennessee overcome Arkansas 60-54. It also prevented them from losing the first of a three-game stretch where they also face Texas A&M (ranked 10th) and Kentucky (ranked eighth). “For us, I feel like, we’re going after an SEC championship and everybody is going to try and give their 110 percent when they play us,” Simmons said. She had 11 second half points, helping UT wipe out a 28-19 halftime deficit. Taber Spani had 14 and Bashaara Graves had 11. Quistelle Williams had 15 for Arkansas (5-9 SEC, 17-10 overall). UT (13-1 SEC, 22-5) overall meets Texas A&M in Knoxville Thursday. The 6 p.m. game is on CSS.
BY RON WYNN College Baseball, the Forgotten Sport The Vanderbilt Commodores have a team ranked second in the nation, but not in football or basketball. Instead, this squad’s exploits occur on the baseball diamond. Vanderbilt defeated Monmouth 11-1 Saturday, running their early season mark to 6-1. But college baseball, like track & field, volleyball and several other spring sports, gets little attention during its early days, and nowhere what it deserves during peak periods. Indeed, college baseball operates in a far more efficient, fair manner than either its gridiron or hardwood counterparts. There’s no such thing in college baseball as a “one and done” rule. Instead, the deal between MLB and colleges is a very basic one. Any player who thinks they are good enough to be a Major Leaguer out of high school is free to sign with any team. They can take the money and begin playing in the rookie leagues. They’re free to attend college in the offseason, where they can certainly afford to pay for their classes courtesy of whatever bonuses they earned upon signing. But should they choose to attend college, they are students for a minimum of three years. There’s none of this silliness where athletes must decide within the course of a few weeks whether they want to return to college or go pro. Nor do they have to calculate when it has been three years since their high school class graduated to determine whether they can enter a draft. College baseball may not be on TV every night, or have its regular season games filling up arenas, but the sport survives quite nicely. SEC baseball is highly competitive, and right now it’s a lot more exciting and interesting than SEC basketball. From top to bottom the SEC is doing well in baseball, even without those who choose to go pro. Of course, there’s one other big difference. MLB, as well as the NHL, has its own set of developmental leagues. It doesn’t depend on what’s supposed to be academic institutions to serve as the training ground for its up and coming stars. Prime examples of players choosing different options to professional success are Cy Young winner David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays and sophomore sensation Bryce Harper of the Washington Nationals. Price turned down big bonus money out of high school and pitched three years for Vanderbilt. He was subsequently drafted number one by Tampa Bay, still got his big money deal, and is now a superstar pitcher. The only question about his future is whether he’ll be with the Rays past this season, due to their legacy of avoiding huge deals. But coming off a 20-5 season, Price has no worries. Harper signed with the Nationals out of high school, and was in their starting lineup much of the season. He earned Rookie-of-the-Year honors and seems set for a long career. College baseball has survived his absence. Both these players did it their way and are successful. That’s ample proof the system is working, and it’s a far more honest one than what the NFL and NBA have forged with the NCAA.
Coming Next Week: The regular season in college basketball is winding down, as teams prepare for forthcoming conference tournaments and NCAA berths. We’ll be following key contests involving all area schools, among them TSU, Vanderbilt, UT, Belmont and MTSU. The Grizzlies and Predators also continue, and you can catch weekday reports on these teams on tntribune. com.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Vandy Wins By Biggest Margin in Five Years By Ron Wynn
The Vanderbilt Commodores ran into a team Saturday having an even tougher season and took full advantage of it, easily dispatching Mississippi State 72-31 in Starkville, Miss. It was their biggest victory margin in five years, and the fewest points allowed by a Commodore team since 1949. They were helped by a Mississippi State team unable to make any shots from the floor. They hit only seven of 40 field goal attempts, going nearly 12 minutes in the first half without a basket. It was the Bulldogs’ lowest output in the shot clock era and second worse loss for the team in Humphrey Coliseum history. Perhaps the only saving grace for Mississippi State’s first-year coach Rick Ray is the fact his depleted team had only eight players due to a variety of things. They ranged from conduct suspensions to injuries and attrition. Not a single Bulldog player reached double figures in scoring and Mississippi State followed a 17-point first half with an ever poorer 14-point second half. Vanderbilt exploited their numerous weakness to race ahead 37-17 by halftime. Kevin Bright had 15 points on five three-pointers, while Rod Odom added 13, making four of seven from the field. Sheldon Jeter had 11 and Dai-Jon Parker chipped in with 13 rebounds and six assists. The Commodores were 28 of 61 from the floor (46 percent) and 11 of 31 from three-point territory, while also outrebounding Mississippi State 51-17. “They’re playing shorthanded and we know that,” Vanderbilt Coach Kevin
Vanderbilt’s Rod Odom was one of several Vanderbilt players who had strong games in their 72-31 rout of Mississippi State Saturday. Odom scored 13 points and made four of seven shots from the field. The Commodores held Mississippi State to the fewest points of any opponent since 1949. It was also Mississippi State’s lowest total in the shot clock era and their second lowest ever as a team
Stallings told the Associated Press. “But I credit our guys with doing what they needed to do to prepare for the game. I would have never predicted this would have been this one-sided. I’ve been on the other side of those. It’s no fun.” Once Vanderbilt got ahead 15-2, the game was essentially over. But given that Vanderbilt’s record is only 5-9 in the SEC (11-15 overall), they weren’t going to relax, even against a team that’s now lost 12 straight games. “With 10 minutes left in the game, we knew this game was over,” Bright added. “But coach wanted us to come out and play hard and execute in both halves, and
NBA
Grizzlies Netting Wins By Ron Wynn
The Memphis Grizzlies continued their winning ways Sunday, posting a 76-72 road victory over the Brooklyn Nets. It was their seventh straight and improves their record to 37-18, their best mark ever over 55 games. They have opened up a four game lead on the Denver Nuggets and five on the Golden State Warriors in the loss column, ranking fourth overall in the Western Conference standings. They are solidly in second in the Southwest Division, though well back of the equally surging San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs 45-13 mark in the best in the NBA. The Grizzlies persevered in a low scoring game that didn’t see either team score 30 points in any quarter. Memphis did get 27 in the second, but suffered through a 12-point third quarter. Fortunately for them, Brooklyn only had 13 in that same quarter. The Nets were handcuffed by the absence of AllStar guard Joe Johnson, missing his second game due to injury. Memphis got yet another double-double from Zach Randolph, who leads the NBA in that category. Randolph had 16 points and 14 rebounds, making almost half his shots from the floor (seven of 16). Marc Gasol also scored 14 points, while Tayshun Prince had 11, hitting five of nine field goal attempts. Starting guards Mike Conley and Tony Allen added 10 and 12 points respectively, with Conley also contributing seven assists. Gasol did an excellent defensive job on Nets’ center Brook Lopez. He had just nine points, missing seven of 10 from the floor. The Nets won the battle of the boards 55-42, but the Grizzlies were able to get critical baskets and free throws when they needed them. It was Allen’s two free throws with 19.5 seconds remaining that gave Memphis a 74-72 lead, paving the way for them to eventually take the game. The Grizzlies are now 8-0 when they hold opponents to less than 80 points. While they continue winning, the Grizzlies aren’t exactly an of-
fensive juggernaut. Friday night they defeated Orlando 88-82 at home, continuing their domination against Eastern Conference teams. But considering that Orlando only had seven players on the bench due to a pending trade with Milwaukee, the Grizzlies performance against them wasn’t exactly overwhelming. “We did enough to win, and it wasn’t pretty,” Grizzlies’ coach Lionel Hollins told the Associated Press afterwards. “I thought once coach called that first timeout and told us what he told us – which I don’t want to say – we responded and came out there and were able to play better in the second quarter and get the lead,” Tony Allen added. “At halftime, he gave us another scolding, and we responded.” It was the frontcourt that again led the way for the Grizzlies. Marc Gasol had 19 points and 13 rebounds, while Zac Randolph contributed 16 points and 14 rebounds. The Grizzlies had 14 offensive rebounds, controlling the boards 55-42. But they were only 17 of 29 from the free throw line. The Magic made seven of their nine free throws. “We have to play better basketball,” Gasol said. “We have to play more consistent, more disciplined on both ends.” He could very well have been talking about both games, though he was addressing the Friday night effort. The Grizzlies outscored the Magic 24-15 in the third quarter, with a Quincy Poindexter threepointer making the score 67-53 heading into the fourth. At one point the Grizzlies had a 16-point lead, but the Magic rallied for a 16-3 run that cut the lead to three with about five minutes remaining. But the Magic ran out of energy and the Grizzlies held on to post what was then their sixth straight win. The Grizzlies next opponent was Dallas Wednesday night in Memphis. Then they face another redhot team, the Miami Heat, Friday night in Miami.
that’s what we did. “We’re trying to improve each and every game,” Bright added. “We want to play in the (SEC) tournament , we want to play well in the tournament. These last couple of games are really important for us.” In addition to only 17 rebounds, Mississippi State had just four assists. The outmanned Bulldogs made just two of 19 from three-point territory. Their leading scorer Jalen Steele (nine points) hit only two of his 10 shots from the floor, while their starting frontline went 2 for 13 from the field. Vanderbilt’s next game was Wednes-
day night in Nashville against Georgia. They go on the road to Auburn Saturday. The Wednesday game was on Fox Tennessee at 8 p.m. The Saturday game is also at 8, but is on ESPN 2. Despite their injury woes, the Lady Commodores pulled off a big upset Sunday in Nashville. They defeated 10thranked Texas A&M 61-51. It was their first win over a Top 10 team in three years, but their second over a ranked opponent this season (against five losses). Tiffany Clarke was the star of Sunday’s victory. Clarke had a career high 30 points, getting 22 of them in the second half. She made 12 of 25 from the floor and six of eight from the foul line. Clarke also keyed a defensive effort that held A&M to a season-low 20 points in the first half on 28.6 percent field goal shooting (making just eight of 28). Texas A&M was ranked fifth in the nation in field goal percentage at 47 percent, but made only 30.9 for the game, their second worse performance this season. Kelsey Bone was number two nationally, shooting 59 percent and averaging 17 points. She made her average (17) but hit only six of 18 from the floor and five of nine from the free throw line. A&M also made just one of five from threepoint range and were outrebounded 4136. The Lady Commodores play Auburn in Nashville Thursday night and then travel to Georgia Sunday. The Thursday game is on CSS and begins at 8 p.m. The Sunday game is at 12:30 p.m. and is on ESPNU.
NHL
Preds Just Can’t Find the Net
The Nashville Predators’ hope that Patric Hornqvist’s run of bad luck in terms of goal scoring ends soon. He’s taken 23 shots over the past four games, including as many as 12 in one contest, but hasn’t been able to find the net. With the Predators next to last in the league in scoring, they desperately need Hornqvist, who led the Predators last year with 27 goals, to regain his scoring touch
By Ron Wynn
The Nashville Predators seem to find it tough scoring on weekends. A couple of weeks ago they suffered back-to-back shutout losses on the weekend. The same thing happened last Friday and Saturday. A 1-0 home defeat to Vancouver was followed by a 4-0 road loss to the Detroit Red Wings. The Predators have scored 39 goals and lead only the Minnesota Wild among NHL teams. They were shut out just three times last season in 82 games. They’ve played only 19 this year and been blanked five times. Saturday’s loss wasn’t one where they weren’t aggressive or lacked scoring chances. Even coach Barry Trotz said he couldn’t remember a time when the Predators had enjoyed as many good scoring opportunities in a road game against the Red Wings as they had Saturday night. But Detroit goalie Jimmy Howard, who had left a previous loss to the Predators with an injury, was back and completely healthy this time. Howard stopped 33 Predators’ shots, including a first period breakaway by Matt Halischuk. Colin Wilson had what seemed like an open rebound try seven minutes into the game, but that was blocked as well. Another major chance came on a wrist shot by Sergei Kostitsyn that Howard reached in the third period. Pekka Rinne had 23 saves, but wasn’t quite as sharp as usual. A fluttering shot from Niklas Kronwall eluded him in the second period with 4:27 remaining. That made it 3-0 and pretty much eliminated any chance of a Predators’ comeback. Last year’s leading scorer Patric Hornqvist’s tough luck continued Saturday. He had three shots on goal that came up empty. Another two shots were blocked, and a third missed the net. He’s had 23 shots on goal over the last four games, including 12 in one game, but has noth-
ing to show for it. The Predators even outshot the Red Wings 33-27, and mounted 12 shots on Howard in both the first and second periods. The Predators were also scoreless on the power play, though they only got two chances. The Red Wings scored on one of their two power plays. Going into Monday night’s game against the Dallas Stars, the power play was one symptom of their offensive problems. They ranked 22nd in the NHL in power play scoring, getting a goal 14.3 percent of the time with a man advantage. Last year’s team led the league in power play efficiency during the regular season. Nashville’s record after Saturday’s loss was 8-6-5. They had lost four of their last five games. They have eight road games and only two at home between Feb. 27 and March 19. But then they have 12 home games and only six road games from March 21 until the end of the season April 27. How they do over the next 10 games will be a determining factor in whether they maintain a string of making the playoffs. Their defense and goaltending have been generally solid, with the exception of a couple of games. But the offensive punch has been sorely lacking, both from any of the regular lines or from the power play. There have been multiple suggestions for curing the problem, from juggling the lines to making changes on the power play. There’s also the possibility of a trade, though Nashville hasn’t been making much noise in regards to seeking a scorer off free agency or through the waiver wire or an acquisition. The Monday night game against the Dallas Stars at Bridgestone Arena was on the NBC Sports Network at 7 p.m. Their Wednesday night road game against the Anaheim Ducks was on Sportsouth at 9 p.m. Their Saturday night contest against the San Jose Sharks will be on Fox Tennesee at 9:30 p.m.

TN Dept. of Health Launches Obesity Awareness Campaign at Local HBCUs NASHVILLE, TN — The Tennessee Department of Health has entered into a grant agreement with five historically black colleges and universities to implement obesity awareness campaigns on their campuses. The campaigns currently underway will reach students and community members at Fisk University and Tennessee State University in Nashville, LeMoyne-Owen College in Memphis, Knoxville College in Knoxville and Lane College in Jackson. “The goals of these obesity awareness campaigns are to educate college students and others about the problems associated with being overweight or obese, and to engage them in activities fostering changes to improve lifelong health,” said Lesia Walker, director of the TDH Office of Minority Health and Disparities Elimination. “Statistics show a disproportionate number of African Americans are either overweight or obese, and we have to start reaching people with important messages earlier in life to make a difference.” More than one-third of adults in the U.S. are obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC reports a total of 78 million American adults are obese, defined as having a body mass index of 30 or more. This figure, taken from a 2010 report, represents an estimated 37 million men and 41 million women. Body Mass Index is a simple index of weight for height. Significant racial and ethnic disparities in the prevalence of obesity exist. In 2011, Tennessee had the sixth highest rate of adult overweight and obesity in the U.S. at 66.5 percent. About two of every three black non-Hispanic adults in Tennessee are overweight or obese.
Black non-Hispanic women have the highest rate of obesity among any race or gender group, with approximately one of every two black women in Tennessee being obese. Extra pounds may contribute to several health problems affecting African Americans, particularly diabetes, high blood pressure, skeletal issues, some types of cancer, heart attacks and heart and kidney failure. The additional weight also leads to higher healthcare costs. “As cost-conscious employers review candidates for jobs, most will be looking for individuals who will not have higher health costs or higher rates of absenteeism due to weight-related issues,” Walker said. “Consequently, some students have greater challenges than others in finding employment. We are hopeful this is one of many issues students will think about as they become more aware of obesity and overweight problems and steps they can take to have an appropriate body mass index.” “Addressing populations with health disparities, such as obesity and overweight in the African American community, is a key to improving population health for our entire state,” said TDH Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH. “We are grateful for the leadership at Tennessee’s historically black colleges and universities as they embrace additional efforts to ensure their students understand their higher risk for these health issues, and that they graduate healthier and better prepared for the challenges of tomorrow.” “Raising awareness about the health
dangers of obesity and overweight is a key first step,” said Charles P. Mouton, MD, dean of the School of Medicine and senior vice president for health affairs at Meharry Medical College. “Meharry Medical College is pleased to be working with other HBCUs in the state as well as TDH to address the health disparities associated with obesity in the
African American community. As the country’s health care system continues to evolve, prevention will be a significant tool in maintaining optimal health. Fortunately, in most cases obesity and overweight are preventable.” For more information about TDH services and programs, visit http:// health.state.tn.us/.
