New Nashville Restaurant Serves Barbecue and Blessings Staff Writer

Each morning, Edward Miller, or Mr. Dollars as he’s known to family and friend, wakes up j ust after the sun rises, gets ready then heads to Off the Bone BBQ restaurant to unlock the doors for the day. e s the first one in and the last one to leave late at night, the typical schedule of a business owner. A weekly work schedule with little sleep is nothing to complain about. It’s actually the bright side of his labor of love – owning his own restaurant. Joshua Mundy and Tony Hurse are part owners as well.

“I already knew my vision. I knew that I had a great product because God has been good to me. When God gives it to you, then you don’t have to worry about it. I’ve come a long way with God,” said Miller.

Off the Bone at 708 Monroe St. opened up for business at the former K ing Fish building across from K roger in October.

Despite the owners not spending a dime on advertising, the restaurant stays busy with long lines of customers throughout the day placing their orders for pick up or dining in.

Daily, he says he’ll go through about 40 slabs of ribs. On the weekend, at least 100 slabs will make their way into the hands of customers. Also on the menu, are smo ed t r ey legs, fish, por chops, white beans, turnip greens, desserts and more. The extra-large smoker in the back of the building stays loaded with chicken q uarters, slabs of ribs and turkey. For those dining on a budget, Miller proudly boasts of the 99 cent barbecue menu.

“My whole thing was a 99 cent menu because everyone says McDonald’s and Wendy’s is all that. I said I wanted to do BBQ 99 cent menu. This is history. P eople don’t understand. This is history,” added Miller.

And it’s doing well so far. Miller says it’s a popular item that customers can’t get enough of.

It seems Nashville can’t get enough of Black-owned businesses like Off the Bone. According to the Greater Nashville Black Chamber of Commerce, there are more than 14,920 black-owned businesses in Tennessee and the list is growing.

From the grass lot to the store front The j ourney to getting his own store wasn’t one that was easy or full of a series of success stories. It was one Miller says was full of strain, struggle, disappointments and setbacks.

It all started three years ago at Munchy’s at the corner of Jefferson St and 18 th Avenue near Fisk University.

Miller, who had dreams of owning his own restaurant one day, was working there as a cook. Munchy’s went out of business and closed, yet Miller’s dreams remained the same. Desperate for his next gig to keep money in his pocket and food on the table, Miller took matters into his own hands. He was known for his famous smoked turkey legs. He set up shop, without a permit, in a grass lot near Munchy’s and began serving smoked turkey legs. He would also go to the Elks Lodge on Saturdays to serve the turkey legs. They were an instant hit.

“I remember he would stand down there with that dirty white T-shirt. He was working hard. He had all that grease on him, tired as all get o t, trying to figure out how he was going to get those turkey legs out,” said long-time customer Vanetta Green.

Shortly after, he began renting a trailer on Jefferson St. for $ 1,200 a month.

E mp loy e e s of O f f t he B one mus t p as s b y a s i g n t hat le ad s i nt o t he k i t c he n t hat re mi nd s e v e ry one t hat t he y w ork f or G od , not E d w ard M i lle r, A K A M r. D ollars

He brought his kids in and taught them how to run the business. Business was good but not good enough, according to Miller. He had his sights on more. He and Mundy went to the same church.

They talked about the closing of K ing Fish and what that could mean to their plans of adding an economic surge to North Nashville and finishing o t Miller’s dream. A few conversations and business meetings later, they opened the current store front.

“It really kicked in the other day. At first it hadn t dawned on me. o now how something j ust kicks in? The other day it dawned on me that God made a dream come true,” said Miller.

State Pen to Pulled Pork Before he had big dreams, his life read somewhat like a nightmare. Instead of food, Miller was once serving up cocaine and marij uana to those that would buy from him. He was big time and living the good life full of fast times, fast money and everything he wanted at his fingertips. B t he was a Ro in ood of sorts. Beginning in 1996, the P reston Taylor homes native would roll out his big grill and have a community-wide cookout for the entire housing proj ect unit. Hundreds would come out to have fun and dine with Mr. Dollars. Every holiday, he would feed the community.

He still does to this day. This is how he taught himself to cook.

“I used to have big picnics. That’s how I taught myself to cook. I would never hire anyone to cook. I would j ust do the cooking. I j ust wanted to learn I wanted to out-cook my momma. She never cooked on the grill. She used to boil their meat. I said I want to cook it off the grill. I feel like I’m great and it’s because of God that I’m great,” he said.

A few stints behind bars and then a trip to the state penitentiary in 1998 were enough to wake him up so he could straighten out. Miller said he turned his life over to God and has been walking according to what God has said ever since. o ll always get ca ght p on dr gs because God doesn’t want no drugs on this earth.”

It’s not uncommon to hear Miller

National Coalition of 100 Black Women Launches Leadership Program at Belmont

By Staff Writer

Nationally, African American women in corporate leadership positions is down, but a local program promises to change that.

The Metropolitan Nashville Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women has formed a partnership with Belmont University College of Business Administration to launch a four-day program that will provide intense and rigorous training to prepare black women for positions on corporate boards.

The program offers two models for participants to choose from. There will be two modules. One is a four half-day module and the other is a full day model.

The cost of the program is still being decided.

“This effort has been several years in the making and we are very excited about the development of a program like

this which has so much value in shaping the diversity and perspective of board leadership,” said Veronica MarableJohnson, president of NCBW Nashville.

In 2012, professional black women accounted for only 1 percent of U.S. corporate officers, according to a report titled “Risk and Reward” conducted by the League of Black Women Global Research Institute.

The numbers are similar when looking at the leadership spots in Fortune 500 companies where black women held only 1.9 percent of board seats compared to 12.7 percent of white women.

“We seek to create a resource for organizations seeking well-trained and knowledgeable black women who are ready to contribute to the overall management, growth and success of organizations,” added Marable-Johnson.

NCBW is an organization that focuses on the development and advance-

Sumrall Joins Airport Authority

NASHVILLE, TN —The Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA) recently named Shannon Sumrall manager of Corporate Communications. In this role, Sumrall will serve as spokesperson and manage all aspects of media relations for Nashville International and John C. Tune airports. Sumrall will coordinate internal and external communications as well as assist with marketing and advertising efforts to promote airport services and the mission of MNAA. “Shannon’s experience in media relations and communications will add depth to our

organization’s expanded communications efforts as we continue to publicize and promote the Nashville Airports Experience - serving as great airports for our passengers, business partners and employees,” Rob Wigington, president and CEO of MNAA, said.

Prior to joining MNAA, Sumrall served as public information officer for the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.

A Mississippi native, Sumrall is a graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi where she earned her master’s and bachelor’s degrees in public relations.

ment of Black women in the workforce and in the areas of health, education and economic development. The program at Belmont is an extension of the organization’s overall mission.

The concept designed to specifically address concerns for female African American leadership, is also right in line with the multiple development initiatives already being offered at Belmont according to Jill Robinson, director of Executive Learning and Marketing at the university.

Belmont professors will lead the training sessions. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate. The African-American Women on Boards Certification Program with Belmont will be used as a model for board governance.

“The competencies emphasized in the program will enhance every aspect of a potential board member’s skill set for board service, from time management to

TACIR Releases Eminent Domain Report NASHVILLE, TN — The Tennessee Advisory Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (TACIR) released its report Eminent Domain in Tennessee, a study of two bills referred to TACIR by the General Assembly last year: Senate Bill 1566 (Ketron) [House Bill 1576 (Carr)] and House Bill 2877 (Gotto) [Senate Bill 2745 (Johnson)]. The government cannot take your land without paying for it, but they can force you to sell; this action is called condemnation.

The power to condemn is referred to as eminent domain.

In 2006, the Tennessee General Assembly enacted Public Chapter 863, which made significant changes to the state’s eminent domain law, including clarifying the definition of public use. These reforms, partly made in response to the US Supreme Court’s ruling in Kelo v. City of New London, greatly improved protections for property owners in Tennessee. But concerns remain about the time and expense of determining property value; the authority of housing development agencies, which are arms of the local government, to condemn property; and the ability of former property owners to repurchase condemned property that is not used by the government and later sold.

Senate Bill 1566 would have allowed a property owner to require the local government to submit to binding arbitration in order to determine the price of property to be taken by condemnation. If it had passed, local governments would not have been able to object to the use of binding arbitration. Like litigation, arbitration is a process for dispute resolution whereby a neutral third party renders a decision after a hearing at which both parties have an opportunity to be heard. With binding arbitration, the parties are legally obligated to comply with the arbitrator’s decision.

While binding arbitration generally reduces the time required to resolve a dispute, it has many of the disadvan-

tages of litigation. Binding arbitration is less time consuming than litigation, mainly because the decision cannot be appealed simply because the parties do not like the result, but it is potentially as expensive because the parties still hire lawyers, appraisers, and other experts when arbitrating disputes.

One concern raised by local governments about Senate Bill 1566 involved the issue of being forced into a dispute resolution process that can be appealed in only very limited circumstances. The only other state with a similar provision is Oregon, which allows a condemnee to force a condemner into binding arbitration only when the value placed on the property by the parties is $20,000 or less. The fact that there is only one state that authorizes a property owner to force a condemner into binding arbitration, and only then in cases that involve small claims, suggests that this is not a desirable method for resolving eminent domain disputes. In its report, the Commission points out that since Tennessee already offers a number of alternatives to litigation for resolving valuation disputes, property owners should not have the power to force local governments into binding arbitration.

One alternative to settling disputes that is already widely used in Tennessee is mediation, which is essentially a form of assisted negotiation. Less time consuming and less costly than other methods of resolving disputes, mediation is an informal process through which a neutral third party, the mediator, helps the parties reach agreement. The report says that mediation should always be considered before arbitration. Mediation is generally much quicker and much less costly than either litigation or arbitration. Moreover, the determination of value is left to the parties. If successful, mediation would make the overall process less costly and time consuming and would allow the par-

strategic thinking,” said Belmont’s College of Business Administration Dean, Pat Raines.

The local chapter of 100 Black Women is not the only organization that is attaching itself to this new program. The Nashville Coalition of 100 Black Women Foundation, Inc., Meharry Medical College, HCA and members of the national leadership arm of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Incorporated are also involved.

In fact, the certificate program that this training program will be modeled after will likely expand to NCBW chapters across the country, according to NCBW National President, M. Delois Strum.

ties to decide the price for themselves.

The other bill referred to TACIR for study, House Bill 2877, would have eliminated the power of housing agencies to condemn property, and would instead require local elected bodies to institute condemnation proceedings on behalf of them. In practice, local governments already have oversight of housing authorities’ use of eminent domain through approval of the redevelopment plans under which the authorities operate.

Under Tennessee’s redevelopment law, however, a governing body may delegate authority to approve redevelopment plans to another agency, including a housing authority, which then could both approve a redevelopment plan and use it as a basis for condemnation. The Commission found no local government that has delegated this authority.

Still, removing language that allows the delegation of authority to approve a redevelopment plan to housing authorities would ensure that such agencies could not approve the plan themselves, thus using it as a basis for condemnation, without the oversight of the local governing body. It would not preclude housing authorities from condemning property to carry out plans that are approved by the local governing body. It would simply ensure that housing authorities could not be given the authority to approve the redevelopment plans that would give them the authority to condemn property. It would guarantee that the local governing body continues to have oversight of these projects.

TACIR also studied a related bill not referred to the Commission for study, Senate Bill 548 (McNally), House Bill 952 (Dunn). This bill would have given a right of first refusal to property owners whose property was condemned by a local government or a state agency. Currently, a right of first refusal exists only in the case of condemnations by the Tennessee Department of Transporta-

NASHVILLE — Refunds totaling over $14 million may be waiting for an estimated 16,400 Tennessee taxpayers who did not file a federal income tax return for 2009, the Internal Revenue Service announced today. However, to collect the money, a return for 2009 must be filed with the IRS no later than Monday, April 15, 2013.

The IRS estimates that half the potential refunds for 2009 are more than $550.

Some people may not have filed because they had too little income to require filing a tax return even though they had taxes withheld from their wages or made quarterly estimated payments. In cases where a return was not filed, the law provides most taxpayers with a three-year window of opportunity for claiming a refund. If no return is filed to claim a refund within three years, the money becomes property of the U.S. Treasury.

For 2009 returns, the window closes on April 15, 2013. The law requires that the return be properly addressed, mailed and postmarked by that date.

There is no penalty for filing a late return qualifying for a refund.

The IRS reminds taxpayers seeking a 2009 refund that their checks may be held if they have not filed tax returns for

2010 and 2011. In addition, the refund will be applied to any amounts still owed to the IRS or their state tax agency, and may be used to offset unpaid child support or past due federal debts such as student loans.

By failing to file a return, people stand to lose more than refund of taxes withheld or paid during 2009. In addition, many low-and-moderate income workers may not have claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). For 2009, the credit is worth as much as $5,657. The EITC helps individuals and families whose incomes are below certain thresholds. For more information, visit the EITC Home Page.

Current and prior year tax forms and instructions are available on the Forms and Publications page of IRS.gov or by calling toll-free 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676).

Taxpayers who are missing Forms W-2, 1098, 1099 or 5498 for 2009, 2010 or 2011 should request copies from their employer, bank or other payer.

If these efforts are unsuccessful, taxpayers can get a free transcript showing information from these year-end documents by filing Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, with the IRS or by calling 800-829-1040.

tion (TDOT). Many stakeholders interviewed for the report supported the idea of giving property owners a right of first refusal in all condemnation cases. Nine other states already provide a similar right. However, local government officials, in particular, expressed concern about the burden of finding the former owner, and especially his heirs or assigns some ten years later, and about having to accept the original price paid rather than fair market value. Accordingly, the Commission recommended adoption of the TDOT model, including limiting the right of first refusal to ten years from the date of condemnation, limiting it to the former property owner only, and setting the

price based on appraisals of fair market value.

Finally, several interviewees said that condemnation doesn’t happen very often, so efforts should be made to better inform property owners about their rights, including the right to receive just compensation for their condemned property. This could be accomplished by requiring condemners to include a statement of rights along with the condemnation notice before initiating condemnation proceedings.

One option found in other states is an ombudsman, similar to the Office of Open Records Counsel within the Tennessee Comptroller’s Office, to assist individuals with their condemnation questions.

F acebook’ s COO Ignites Empow erment Marc Morial President and CEO National Urban League “So please ask yourself: What would I do if I weren’t afraid? And then go do it.”

Sheryl Sandberg In a stroke of marketing geni s efitting the Chief perating fficer of the social media phenomenon, Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg chose M arc H Women’s History Month to launch her new book, Lean In, and begin a national dialogue about “Women, Work and the Will to Lead.” Ruth Standish Baldwin was a co-founder of the National Urban League more than a century ago and the inclusion and empowerment of women has been one of our most important priorities. Today, Former Labor Secretary Alexis Herman serves as Senior Vice Chair on our Board, and almost half of o r local ffili ate CEOs are women. For that reason, we applaud Ms. Sandberg for her new book and are proud to j oin in the conversation.

We all know that historic barriers of gender discrimination, as well as the responsibilities of bearing and caring for children have made it more diffic lt for women to balance work and family.

But Sandberg contends that women too often “hold ourselves back in ways big and small, y lac ing self confidence, by not raising our hands, and by pulling back when we should be leaning in.” Lean In appears to be written by and for women for whom the path to executive leadership has always been a realistic, if somewhat diffic lt, o rney.

But the book has sparked another conversation in Black America about how women of color have always had to “lean in” to overcome the dual hurdles of racial and gender bias.

Consider how Harriet Tubman leaned into the face of death to lead a thousand slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Or how Soj ourner Truth stood up and boldly asked “Ain’t I a woman” at the 18 51 Ohio Women’s Rights Convention. Consider how Fan.

nie Lou Hamer who was “sick and tired of being sick and tired,” fought for African American voting rights as an organizer of the 1964 Mississippi Freedom Summer and Vice Chair of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic P arty. Or how a q uiet seamstress named Rosa P arks, leaned in, sat down on a bus and lit the fuse of the civil M ori al rights movement.

Decrying the lack of women at the top of corporate America, Sandberg does admit that, “The gap is even worse for women of color, who hold j ust 4 percent of top corporate j obs, 3 percent of board seats and 5 percent of congressional seats.” But, with rising numbers of black women in college, preparing themselves for successful careers, clearly a lack of drive or ambition is not the problem.

Lean In urges women to “Sit at the Table,” “Seek and Speak Y our Truth,” “Don’t Leave Before Y ou Leave,” and “Make Y our P artner a Real P artner.”

These recommendations present a road map of success that has obviously worked for Sheryl Sandberg. But, it is largely the lack of support, the pressures of single parenthood, and systemic racial and gender discrimination that continue to keep women of color from getting a foot in the corporate door. The empowerment of all women depends on closing the wage gap, protecting women’s reproductive rights, providing greater wor place e i ility, having more women in non-traditional professions like science and engineering, and supporting common sense measures like the Violence Against Women Act which was reauthorized and signed into law by P resident Obama last week.

If men and women lean in together, we can foster gender eq uity and a better America.

L E T T E R ST O Dear Justice Scalia, My name is Desiline Victor. I was born in Haiti in 1910, and I am 102 years old. After coming to the United States for a better life, today I am an American citizen and live with my family in North Miami. Y ou might remember me from the State of the Union address last month, where P resident Obama told my story about how hard it was for me to vote.

When I heard what you said about the Voting Rights Act being a “racial entitlement,” I was shocked. I thought you must not know what’s happening in this country. After learning more this year from the civil rights group, Advancement P roj ect, I know that j ust as there were for me, there are barriers to voting for many people – especially people who are black or brown.

I also know that the Voting Rights Act is a way to protect the votes of communities that still face these problems.

I would like to tell you about the struggles I faced in the last election.

During the early voting period in Florida last October, I went to my polling place early in the morning. The line was already very long, and wait times were as high as six hours. I stood for three hours before I started to get shaky on my feet, but no one could assist me unless I made it to the front of the line. In addition, there were no poll workers available who could help me in my native K reyò l language, despite North Miami’s large Haitian community. I was told to come back later. I left. But I was determined to vote, so I tried again. On my second visit that night, I was happy when I finally cast my ballot. But I was also upset. In this great nation why should anybody have to stand in line for hours, and make two

E D IT O R

trips, to vote?

Not everybody persevered as I did.

I learned later that hundreds of thousands of voters in Florida gave up and went home without voting, and that Black and Latino voters were more likely to face those shamefully long lines and wait times. One reason was a new law that cut the early voting period. Around the country, other new laws were passed that made voting harder in 2012 – but Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act blocked many of them before the election. Section 5 also helps voters in other ways. In the five co n ties in Florida that are covered, voting help in Spanish and K reyò l is req uired because of their large Latino and Haitian populations.

I was born at a time when women were not allowed to vote in Haiti, nor the United States. After becoming a U.S. citizen, I was so proud to have a voice in this country. That is what inspired me to fight last year. B t voting sho ld never re ire s ch a fight. We need more make sure that all Americans can have their voices heard – we need the Voting Rights Act. Justice Scalia, the Voting Rights Act is not a racial entitlement. It is an important protection that helps all Americans exercise their right to vote. It was put in place because, sadly, there are people in this country who don’t want everyone to have an eq ual voice at the ballot box.

Eq uality and the right to vote are the shining lights of American democracy that drew me to these shores, and that right should not be taken away. In fact, it should be made stronger to help more voters who faced obstacles like I did.

Sincerely, Desiline V ictor

Red Cross Raises Nearly $400,000 at Lifesaver Breakfast

J on M e ac hum, s how n at p od i um, f ac i li t at e d t he b re ak f as t

NASHVILLE, TN — The American Red Cross, Nashville Area Chapter hosted their 11th Annual Lifesaver Breakfast at Lipscomb University in Allen Arena on Thursday morning.

“The outpouring of generosity from our community continues to amaze me,” said Joel Sullivan, Regional CEO of the American Red Cross. “Their support has not only guaranteed the success of our 11th Annual Lifesaver Breakfast, but it has also allowed us to grow into one of the most prepared regions across the country.”

This year, the Red Cross highlighted the centerpiece of their mission – their clients.

The 2013 breakfast chairman was Bill Krueger of Nissan, with presenting sponsors including Dollar General, Ingram, Lipscomb University, Nissan and Yates Construction.

Through clients’ personal stories, the public could see first-hand the lasting effects of Red Cross services. Blood donations saved Sheila Preston Fitzgerald’s life not once, but twice. Randy Grogan’s life-saving skills, acquired through Red Cross classes, prepared him to assist in

rescuing a gentleman at his place of employment. Likewise, Diane Daugherty’s life was changed because of the Red Cross and the hope they provided after a tornado destroyed her home. Daugherty later returned to the Red Cross, this time as a volunteer. Daugherty wanted to give back to others as the American Red Cross had provided for her.

“Just as our community stepped up to accomplish our Join the 10,000 campaign goal, they have likewise followed suit and ensured our Lifesaver Breakfast to be a huge success,” Bill Krueger, Chairman of the 2013 Lifesaver Breakfast and Nashville Area Board Member shared. “I am honored to have served as this year’s breakfast chairman and to be an active Red Cross volunteer; in fact I joined as number 5,254 back in 2009. I am proud to be a small part of this noble mission that has such a lasting effect on so many.”

Over 500 of Nashville’s most influential business and community leaders attended the event which ensures the financial funding necessary to provide the core humanitarian services of the American Red Cross including; local disaster response, services to the Armed Forces, international relief, lifesaving blood collection and preparedness health and safety training.

Atlanta, GA (March 12, 2013). Capitol City Bank & Trust Company in Atlanta, GA, and North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company in Durham, NC, two African-American businesses well known throughout the USA, have come together to grow their businesses and provide greater financial opportunities for their customers. The ultimate goals for this milestone relationship however, rests with the opportunities created for similar minority financial institutions to do likewise and to spread this alliance beyond these respective cities and states, for the benefit of other minority financial institutions across this country.

North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company (NCM) is the oldest and one of the most successful African American insurance companies in the United States; and Capitol City Bank & Trust Company (CCB) is a new progressive African American financial institution that sells financial services. The coming together of these two minority businesses has the potential to produce a conglomerate of minority businesses that can provides a mix of insurance and financial services under one brand.

This strategic alliance enables CCB and NCM the opportunity to pursue major contracts with municipalities and major corporations; and provides the ability to offer customers any and all types of financial products and services.

“Georgia is one of the states that lead the nation in banking failures. There are approximately 84 banks in GA that closed and many others are struggling.

Capitol City Bank is surviving through the creative initiatives coming from within such as this alliance we have with North Carolina Mutual. Capitol City did not get any of the $770 billion dollars made available to banks by the federal government’s TARP (Trouble Asset Relief Program); however, with the as-

crea e ro

sistance of North Carolina Mutual, we have put together our own TARP,” said George Andrews, President and CEO of Capitol City Bank & Trust Company.

The partnership with CCB will allow North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company to increase its distribution in markets where they have historically done business. In addition to distribution, this partnership provides an opportunity for CCB to receive fee income and provide products to community partners, municipalities and corporations in its sphere of influence. These fees and products will come through alliances NC Mutual has with various carriers and independent marketing organizations.

“We anticipate this model is scalable and plan to duplicate it in other minority banks and community financial institutions throughout the country. Our new venture with CCB will contribute to our efforts in providing financial literacy information to communities across the southeast. As we celebrate 115 years this year we are humbled to begin this new chapter with CCB as a joint partner.

We are confident that other alliances will follow suit,” said James Speed, President and CEO, “North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company.

While these two African-American owned institutions have joined forces in a partnership (not a merger) to become a competitive force to capture major group insurance opportunities with corporate America and municipalities, it is important to note that other minority owned banks (African American) are located throughout the United States [New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, the District of Columbia, Illinois, California, Louisiana, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Alabama,

Missouri, Florida, Michigan, Virginia, Georgia, and North Carolina] .

These business arrangements have been in discussions since early 2012 and will become operative immediately providing Capitol City Bank with the opportunity to offer insurance programs to municipalities, corporations and individuals which are already among its customer base. “The partnership allows both companies to be more competitive.” says Andrews “We will offer an array of new and varied insurance products to our constituents here in Georgia that should increase profit for both companies. We will be able to get into doors that have been previously closed to us.”

George Andrews has built a solid professional career in Atlanta and the State of Georgia as a People’s Banker.

“We made our mark in the communities that we serve through our practices to engage the communities through inno-

vative ideas to provide service and our ability to involve grass-roots leadership, churches and various start-up businesses. We have created other partnerships that support our loan programs with Sun Trust Bank and Wells Fargo Bank,” said Andrews.

North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company has made a substantial financial investment in Capitol City Bank. According to James Speed, President and CEO, “North Carolina Mutual is pleased to enter this historic partnership with Capitol City Bank & Trust Company. We pride ourselves on finding the best solutions to meet the unique needs of our community; and this strategic alliance allows both companies the opportunity to efficiently provide best in class insurance products and services to CCB’s customer base and beyond in a cost effective manner,” Speed added.

Top Ladies of Distinction Cross Paths During Chance Encounter

By D r. H arriette Bias I n s ig n ares P o et L au reate

Y ou never know who you’re going to run into as you move around our town. So it was recently when entering the lobby of the Embassy Suites hotel in Murfreesboro. I thought I was meeting my friend, Rebecca Graves who was in town for the weekend. When to my surprise, I came across Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who was j ust passing through the area to pay her respects to a Bishop as she traveled to visit her 95 year-old-mother.

In addition, I learned that my friend, Rebecca was scouting the area for a hotel site for the 2014 Top Ladies Of Distinction Regional Conference. Well, wouldn’t you know, in introducing Rebecca and her fellow officer ddie ee Marsh of avannah, who is the National rea Director of Top adies, we learned that Congresswoman Waters is also a Top Lady.Talking about a small world!

So who knew, when I set out for the hotel that I would be bringing Top Ladies together and cultivating new friendships. It pays to move around the town and know how to keep the dialogue going among the sistahs. See you out and about!

TN Medical Laboratory Professionals in Opposition w ith Tennessee Legislature Laboratorians across the state of Tennessee are worried. They are concerned that Tennessee legislators could be making decisions on proposed bills they do not fully understand.

The TN House of Representatives postponed action on a bill Wednesday that R e p . G e rald M c C ormi c k would re-write the TN Medical Laboratory Act allowing non-licensed personnel to perform clinical laboratory testing. Testing, when performed incorrectly, could negatively impact the decisions made by physicians and the care received by patients. Critical diagnoses may be missed and necessary treatment plans delayed.

The bill introduced into the TN House by Representative Gerald McCormick (and its TN Senate companion bill introduced by Senator Bo Watson) would

allow laboratories performing highcomplexity, esoteric testing utilizing advanced techniques like molecular diagnostics and other emerging technologies to employ underqualified, nonlicensed personnel. While this bill is disguised Se nat or B o W at s on as more stringent requirements for testing personnel performing esoteric testing, it is actually just the opposite. As written, the bill would create loopholes for clinical laboratories to circumvent hiring licensed personnel. As new technologies emerge, advanced platforms are used every day to provide diagnoses and treatment courses for Tennessee residents. The proposed iteration of this law would put the quality of those test results and patient care in jeopardy, and is absolutely unacceptable.

Employing laboratory personnel that do not possess

the education and training required of a licensed medical laboratorian has led to both laboratory closures and entire hospital closures in other states. Our current law protects us from such atrocities in Tennessee. Allowing this bill to pass as written would not. We cannot stand by and let the safety of Tennessee residents be placed in questionable hands.

Join the 5,400 licensed medical laboratory professionals in Tennessee who are members of the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Science, the American Medical Technologists, the Tennessee Association of Blood Banks, the Clinical Laboratory Management Association, the American Society for Clinical Pathology and other professional organizations in opposition to these bills.

The countdown is on for when the shipment of the Georgia O’K eeffe artwork at Fisk University will take place. The 101-piece collection will be sent to the Crystal Bridges Museum in Bentonville, Ark. as part of the controversial co-ownership deal between the university and the museum.

The artwork is currently on display at Fisk. However, the lengthy process of prepping the artwork for a safe commute is underway.

The collection is expected to be shipped in late spring or early summer.

Victor Simmons, director and curator of Fisk University galleries, said they began the lengthy process of getting the art ready last May shortly after a Tennessee Supreme Court upheld a lower court’s decision allowing Fisk to sell a 50 percent stake in the ownership of the artwork to help the cash-strapped university.

Not only does this partnership help to put money into the coffers of Fisk, but it also helps save them the expensive cost of upkeep of the collection. Last year, the maintenance for the O’K eeffe collection was a little over $ 13 1,000.

“I think once we get over our initial phase of the collection traveling to Bentonville to the museum and then returning to Fisk, and I think once the public gets a sense that this will work well for us then everyone will be pleased. Everyone is holding their breath to see what’s going to happen,” said Simmons.

Staff from Crystal Bridges, founded by Walmart heir Alice Walton, and Fisk have been meeting to iron o t final details of the contract and the transport of the collection. An advisory committee composed of world-renowned art experts will be put together to oversee the collection. Fisk and

Crystal Bridges will select the committee members.

According to Simmons, O’K eeffe donated the entirety of the collection in 1949 because she felt students in the South were not fairly e posed to fine art like that in the collection. She did so with one stipulation - that Fisk not sell or break up the collection.

That req uirement was at the very center of the two year battle in Tennessee courts. Fisk, desperate to keep its doors open, reportedly told an appellate j udge that it had mortgaged all of its buildings and had no unrestricted endowment available. P artial sale of the art was the university’s last hope in saving the school.

As part of the deal, the collection will travel back and forth between Fisk and Crystal Bridges every two years to be on display. The artwork will return to Fisk in 2015 j ust in time for the university’s 150th anniversary.

While it’s gone, Simmons said they will take advantage of the empty space.

Simmons and staff are already thumbing through the university’s 4,000-piece art collection to determine what pieces will have the opportunity to meet the public.

“The way that things have concluded really ensures a couple of things we can be proud of. First, the collection remains an important part of the university’s collection and legacy and the students can still have access to. It will also accomplish something very important that Mrs. O’K eeffe would have liked, and that’s to have the collection viewed by those who might have ordinarily have viewed it.

One of her reasons for giving the collection to the South was that students like those that attend Fisk, would have access to great

modern art and would be inspired to see the world and pursue their place in the world,” added Simmons.

Also part of the deal is an annual internship. Each year, a Fisk student will be selected to travel to Crystal Bridges to work in the art and museum world so they will be prepared for careers in the field after grad ation.

That’s part of the bigger picture that Simmons says people will begin to look at.

Despite being a strong proponent of the deal now, he admits it wasn’t that easy in the beginning. He calls the O’K eeffe paintings treasures and valuable pieces of the overall Fisk collection, making it diffic lt to consider letting go of half ownership.

O’K eeffe was a brilliant painter of nature and the Southwest and helped usher in the modern art era. “( This type of partnership) is so new in the art world and it was something we all had to really digest because it was not an easy decision for the university, the president and the Board of Trustees to have made as well. It is such an important part of the school’s history and legacy. It was something we really had to digest and take in and see the broader impact of it,” said Simmons.

“But I want the public to understand that we’re excited about moving forward with this partnership.

We think that it offers incredible possibilities for the university, for our students, for the collections and to extend the Fisk name and brand farther and deeper across this country. “ Crystal Bridges is owned by Alice Walton, daughter and heiress of the Sam Walton.

Fisk, strapped for cash to keep its doors open at one point, underwent a lengthy and controversial court battle to allow

It is upcoming PBS presentation. part of American Graduate: Let’s Make TRIBUNE: Unfortunately, America It Happen, a public media initiative sup- leads the world in the criminalization of ported by the Corporation for Public children. About how much does it cost to Broadcasting (CPB) to help local communities across America find solutions to address the dropout crisis. – The new episode of TAVIS SMILEY REPORTS (TSR) looks at the connection between the juvenile justice system and the dropout rate among American teens, as well as the efforts by educators, law enforcement professionals, judges, youth advocates and the at-risk teens themselves to end what has become known as “the school-to-prison pipeline.” In the sixth installment of TSR, and the second in a series of education specials, host Tavis Smiley takes his cameras across the country to present a narrative of what is working on the frontlines of reforming the juvenile justice system. “Each year, one out of every four students makes the life altering decision to drop out of T alk s how hos t and b e s t - s e lli ng aut hor T av i s school resulting in severe consequences Smi le y hos t s up c omi ng ne w T V s p e c i al for their future and our country,” said E d uc at i on U nd e r A rre s t on P B S Patricia Harrison, president and CEO of CPB. “Through the ‘American Graduate: Let’s Make It Happen’ initiative, na- educate these youths compared to what it tional public media programming, such would cost to keep them locked up?

problem is leading to the criminalization of our kids. It leads to them trying to put these past records they developed as adolescents behind them once they become adults. The main problem is that it’s taken this whole zero tolerance notion in schools too far. There is no such thing as zero tolerance. We don’t expect adults to engage in zero tolerance, so how can we expect for a child to do so? We’re criminalizing our children and there’s got to be a better way. With this new special that we’re airing March 26th in primetime on PBS, we set out to try to explore some possible solutions.”

TRIBUNE: When you say “minor infractions”?

T. SMILEY: “Literally, we’re talking about chewing gum in class. At some schools if a student is caught chewing gum in class several times, they can get kicked out of school and that ends up on their record. Other infractions could be skipping class, truancy, fighting (which no one is condoning); sometimes even if a child is simply trying to break up a fight they didn’t even start. There’s an example of that seen in the show, about two sisters who live in New Orleans.”

TRIBUNE: I read that you and your crew recorded this special in several cities throughout the country. Are there certain regions or cities where this issue is more prevalent with students than in others or is it just a national problem everywhere?

T. SMILEY: “It’s everywhere. We

traveled to 6 different cities for this special. We went to New Orleans, L.A., Oakland, Washington state, and other places.

The story is the same everywhere. It seems that we are now afraid of our children. We don’t seem to have real love and patience with our children. As a result, we are pushing them into this school to prison pipeline. That’s what this has all become and you can see it clearly almost every day on how these kids are being criminalized and being pushed out of schools. So then you have a problem of children not being miseducated but are now being totally uneducated because they’re locked up at such early ages. This is a real crisis and we all have to do something about it. So again, that’s what this upcoming TV special is all about.”

TRIBUNE: So what can we the viewers do? How can we help these children, and those who are working to combat the problem?

T. SMILEY: “First of all if you’re a parent, you need to be aware of what the rules and regulations are at your child’s school and make sure that your child/children doesn’t fall victim to some of these draconian rules and zero tolerance policies. Secondly, I learned many years ago that usually the schools that are often the best are the ones where the parents are involved. I don’t care if it’s a public or a private school, rich schools, urban, suburban, or whatever. It doesn’t matter.

Schools that do best in this country are the ones where parents are involved in the PTA, school board meetings, and other activities. When parents get involved like this, they can really help shape and direct the policies of the school. So if the parents get involved in these meetings and start to take control of the moral authority they have to raise these issues and demand different treatment for their own children, then the school system has to respond.”

New Book Offers Hope After Loss &

By Janice Malone

“I couldn’t put this book down. This was a heart wrenching story that was written extremely well by the author who went through a horrific ordeal in her life.”(Amazon review Patricia Seguin 5 stars). “The author beautifully takes you on her vivid personal walk, finding love, losing that love and her subsequent process back to wholeness. This novel can benefit anyone who has suffered loss of any kind.

(Amazon review Sally Sue 5 stars). Those are just two of the many favorable comments from readers who have read the new book 2:7 The Awakening of Love by writer Angela Grant. Like most little girls, Angela had the fairytale dream of meeting her soul mate, falling in love and getting married. When she met the man of her dreams, Dion, the dream of engagement became a reality but was soon cut short when Dion was involved in a tragic motorcycle accident that would soon end his life, and therein lies the story of 2:7 The Awakening of Love. As a first time author, Ms. Grant really takes readers on a journey through the ups and downs of love and romance, the process of grieving, and the journey of healing from loss of any kind.

Angela Aileen Grant is a licensed school counselor, here in Nashville, an entrepreneur, and now an author. With her new found success as a writer, the Nashville native can now add writing to her list of many talents. But surprisingly, writing wasn’t something she planned on pursuing professionally. “I’ve wanted to write a book for many years but I didn’t know exactly what topic to write about,” recalls

Angela. Her natural talents as a writer began in third grade, when she penned her first poem, titled The Snow is Falling. My teacher was so impressed until she had the poem laminated, “recalls Angela with a laugh. “In those days if the teacher gave a student that kind of attention that was really special.” But it was this act of kindness from her teacher that really inspired Angela’s interest in writing. As she progressed through school she began to develop a real love and appreciation for poetry and writing. Over the years Angela started keeping journals and diaries. She now has 12 journals of her thoughts, dreams, triumphs, losses and prayers. She says, “One of my favorite quotes is Alfred Lord Tennyson’s ‘It’s better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.’ This quote was one

of the first quotes I wrote in my journal.

That’s such an interesting statement for me because prior to the death of my fiancé I had never experienced loss in this capacity before. I later started writing favorite Bible scriptures in my journal. So after a short while, my journals became my prayers to God.” It was through her many journals that Angela found a voice for her book. “It was as if God reminded me that since I had been journaling about my feelings over the loss of my fiancé, then I had the topic for a book taken directly from my journals.

My journals became the only thing I could be fully honest with and the only place to truly release my pain. The journals were part of my therapy and healing process. So the book is sort of like one big journal entry that’s broken up into smaller journals.”

Through the early stages of her emotional healing, Angela admits that she was quite angry at God over the death of a man she loved so dearly. “Initially, I really was angry at God because I couldn’t believe that this tragedy happened to us. We had just gotten engaged. Our whole lives where ahead of us. But as time passed and as I started putting the book together, God began to show me that this book is not about me. It’s about people that I can help and encourage after they read what I’ve experienced and how the Lord brought me through it. And he will do the same for them too.”

Ms. Grant is very proud to know it was God’s direction that was the guiding force behind 2:7 The Awakening of Love—even the book’s title has a divine connection.

“People have asked me what does the 2:7 stand for in the title? This question has 3

Love

answers. 2 and 7 are two of my favorite numbers. In the Bible the book of Song of Songs (or Solomon) 2:7 it states ‘do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.’

It is mentioned 3 times throughout the book and this is the first time it is mentioned. Also, my birthday is 2/2 and his was 11/7,” she further explains. It seems that the numbers two and seven continue to have divine connotations. Angela shares that her first box of her new books arrived last month (second month of the year), and 2013 marks the seventh year of her fiancé’s untimely death!

Even though the book’s only been out for a few weeks, Angela is already seeing positive results from the fruit of her labor.

In addition to book signings locally, and recently in New York City, she’s been an invited guest speaker at various conferences, where she not only shared about her book but she’s also motivated others on how to cope with bereavement. Since the death of her fiancé Dion, Angela remains in contact with his family. She has dated again and continues to have hopes of eventually getting married. Grief and loss are both a part of life and for anyone who’s experiencing it Angela offers advice from– her own direct knowledge: “I tell anyone to allow yourself to go through each step of the grieving process without apology. I initially felt that I need to grieve for everybody but then I finally realized that I needed to grieve for myself too. The faster you allow yourself to go through the grief, that’s the only way to begin the healing process.” The book 2:7 The Awakening of Love is available at Amazon.com and other places where fine books are sold.

Bible-Mini Series May Have Resemblance

The casting of the actor chosen to portray Satan in The History Channel’s “The Bible” mini-series has sparked debate on social media sites over the weekend, after some suggested the man had a likeness to President Barack Obama. However, both The History Channel as well as “The Bible” miniseries producers, Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, have called the suggestions “utter nonsense.”

The man portraying Satan on Sunday’s third installment of “The Bible” mini-series was in fact an actor called Mohamen Mehdi Ouazani, however, many have commented on how much he looks like President Barack Obama, after Glenn Beck highlighted the similarity on social media site, Twitter, last Saturday.Beck posted a message stating, “Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible Sunday on History Channel looks exactly like That Guy?” Beck, of course a strong critic of Obama, has vowed not to say the president’s name throughout 2013, and so has referred to him through the first three months of the year simply as “That Guy.” Many immediately jumped on social media sites to comment, with many strongly agreeing or disagreeing with Beck’s suggestion. The debate has since gone viral, with most mainstream media picking up on the story, and some suggesting that President Obama has reason to feel aggrieved at the casting on the show, which has been produced by British-born Mark Burnett and Roma Downey.

The History Channel meanwhile has dismissed the debate, saying that

there was no intention whatsoever in creating any such resemblance with Obama. The statement released by the channel has said, “HISTORY channel has the highest respect for President Obama.

The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It’s unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. HISTORY’s The Bible is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history.”

Mark Burnett and Roma Downey have also called the suggestions “utter nonsense.” In a statement they have said, “This is utter nonsense. The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouzaani, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics– including Satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our President.” The show has been a massive hit in the United States over the past three weeks, attracting 13.1 million viewers for its previous episode.

Although episode 2 of “The Bible” ended with the scene of King David telling young Solomon that he will build the temple, the third episode skips over the story of Solomon and moves on to the part in Jewish history where the Jewish king is corrupt and the Kingdom of Judah is conquered and its people forced into exile. The latest episode also moved on to the story of Mary and Joseph, and the birth of Jesus Christ. It also goes on to portray the early years of Jesus’ public ministry, with scenes of his baptism by John the Baptist, as well as the evangelism of Peter. However, one of the most talked about scenes from the episode has of course now become the portrayal of Satan’s attempts to tempt Jesus, with the casting of Satan becoming a major discussion point among viewers.

Gwendolyn Baines

My husband mistreated me, now trying to be nice!

G w e nd oly n B ai ne s

Dear Gw endolyn: I have been married for seven years and the marriage has been horrible from the get-go. In short, Gwendolyn, I have suffered abuse, abandonment, disrespect and dishonesty.

My mother advised me not to marry him. I have truly regretted not taking her advice.

The problem continued… .My husband left me because I refused to take a job in a rundown hotel in a rundown section of town.

He was trying to push me into danger but he didn’t have a job at all. After I refused to take the job he started calling me names.

He tried to assure me I was a nobody, I couldn’t take care of my child and that I was stupid. About six months ago he called and said he didn’t want to be married anymore. From that point I moved on with my life and have found happiness. I now have a new friend and he treats me like gold, bronze, and silver. He says to him I am more valuable than diamonds. When I told my husband, he started to be nicer and wanted to come back. I think he realizes I don’t want to give him another chance. I have filed for divorce. What makes me angry is that he has taken up friendship with another woman so soon after our

separation.

Joan Dear Joan: Your husband more than likely already had his new friend. Do not become bitter with him. He is not worth your thoughts. It is only a matter of time before he starts to mistreating her as well. And, J oan, he might treat her good but don’t concern yourself with that. A failed marriage or a failed courtship hurts and hurts badly. Enjoy your new friend. Girl, you got it going on. Many men will treat you like gold, bronze, and silver - but seldom you find a man who will think of you as --- diamonds in the mix. ( C op yr ig h t © 2 0 1 3 b y G w end olyn L . Baines ) .

Lily Tomlin Stars in New F ilm ADMISSION

Icon is a word that is sometimes loosely thrown around. However, in the case of veteran actress Lily Tomlin, the title is most apropos. Tomlin has not just been there and done that but the awards she has garnered over the years attest to a true and marvelous set of talents. Her trophy mantel houses, a Grammy, six Emmys, a Tony and many more major awards in and out of the biz. In her latest film Admission, Tomlin plays the eccentric mom Susannah to Princeton niversity admissions officer ortia played

by Tina Fey. Playing a mom is nothing new to Tomlin and she is pretty darn good at it. Tomlin’s character, Susannah, is a little over the top in attitude and her values on life. In describing Susannah, Tomlin says, “Susannah was intellectual. She wrote a book and being very brainy while thinking a lot of stuff through, she was wed to that mythology that she created for herself when she has sex with some guy on a train out of sheer attraction or lust, whatever. But she doesn’t want to admit that’s how she got pregnant. She wants to think that she commanded her own destiny and so she’s built this idea or as I said, mythology around her. She’s imposed it on her life and on her daughter’s life and I understood that.” The question here is does Susannah not give a damn or is she just super radical? Tomlin laughs, “First of all she’s not 30 anymore, she’s 70 and a lot of life has gone under the bridge. Plus, she has a grown daughter that she really doesn’t have a relationship with.

So we all make these choices in life and many of them we regret.”

In real life Tomlin has no children so where does she draw her mother instinct from? Flashing that famous broad smile, Tomlin explains, “You just have to be a hu-

man being. I probably feel as much a mother to my cat as I do to Tina. I mean it’s just human relationships. We’re not all so different. You don’t have to know very much to understand it. You just have to be open to what you’re living and what part of life is.”

What was Tomlin’s relationship like with her real life late mom She re ects, “Somewhat more parental. I was that kind of open assertive kind of kid, free in the neighborhood, lived in an old apartment house. My mother and dad were blue collar. My daddy worked in a factory and my mom was a nurse’s aide. They’re from K entucky, so every summer I’d go to rural K entucky and then the rest of my life I’m living in inner city Detroit. It was an explosion of cultures in an old apartment house where all of these different people lived. I was just fortunate because you learn. I saw so many human beings and saw how they acted. They were pretty much all the same no matter if they were real political, radical, conservative, if they were White, Black or J ews. If they were anything, they were so much alike. They did despicable things, beautiful things, they were funny, tragic and I know that is what made me be so accepting of the species. I mean I’m not bragging or slapping myself on the back for it.

T he good thing about challenges is they rem ov e com petitors from the m arketplace. T he ex perience you gain from challenges is that you add to the v alue you offer to a client.

TT: Is it important to labor in the workforce before starting a business? F or m e it was not im portant at all. What you learn working for som eone you learn 1 0 tim es faster working for yourself. Lessons cam e fast and hard when they im pact you personally.

TT: Did you have to overcome any stereotypes or discrimination as a young African American entrepreneur and if so what were they and how did you deal with them?

What I like about being an entrepreneur and working with entrepreneurs is if you walk in their business with a solution to assist them they becom e color blind. I focus on prov iding a v aluable serv ice. If I do that I don’t worry about what they think of m y com plex ion. B usiness is like war, when you are in battle you look for results not who that person nex t to you is.

TT: Is education a necessary component of successfully operating a business?

No. We hav e a problem in our education system . We are teaching students to walking a certain path, preparing to get a j ob. T hey are not being taught to think. T hey hav e to learn how to create v alue for them selv es. B ut our schools are teaching how to get a j ob.

T hat was a great lesson 3 0 years ago. B ut today we need people who can think outside the get a-j ob-box .

TT: What were your keys to building a successful busi-

ness? H av ing a skill that has v alue in the m arketplace and knowing how to m arket that skill. Ev eryone needs to think of ourselv es as entrepreneurs and how we can add v alue to em ployers or custom ers.

TT: Y our business is the only entity in Nashville that is on BE’s Top 100 List. What are your feelings about this success and what price have you paid personally to make your business successful?

F or m e Nashv ille— I don’t know of any other city where I could hav e started and been as successful. Nashv ille is a strong entrepreneurial city.

I had m entors early on that gav e m e pointers. T here were sev eral people with a trem endous am ount of knowledge and ex pertise who took tim e to work with m e. What I attem pt to do now is to giv e to others what was giv en to m e.

TT: Many individuals complain about the lack of good customer service at black businesses. Did you have to overcome this obstacle? Poor custom er serv ice is a stereotype. I am 4 8 years old and still rem em ber when people said I had to be twice as good as the nex t guy. I say ev eryone has to be ex cellent in ev erything they do. We are com peting globally and only ex cellence will surv iv e.

TT: In your opinion what is the forecast for black businesses in Nashville? I believ e Nashv ille will continue to hav e opportunities that will continue to create African Am erican entrepreneurs.

Nashv ille is a place of higher education at T SU, F isk and Meharry. H owev er, higher education does not eq uate into entrepreneurship. Our schools need to teach students how to becom e entrepreneurs. T hey hav e to teach risk taking.

Lois Jordan, Metro’s first AfricanAmerican Councilwoman, shared stories from her election campaign and working on Metro Council with 39 men. She urged current council members to make their constituents feel important. Former Councilman Ludye Wallace, a strong advocate for Belmont’s shared use of E.S. Rose Park, also spoke on the founding of the Metropolitan Black Caucus. It was later renamed to

include all minority council members.

“Thank you for paving the way so we could walk down the road more easily,” said caucus Vice President Fabian Bedne, Metro’s first LatinAmerican councilman.

The caucus presented special awards to current and former minority council members. Belmont junior Chelsea Stratton accepted an award on behalf of her late grandfather, James Hawkins, the first African-American councilman to be a committee chairman.

Gunter-Smith said in a news release that she is honored to j oin the college.

“Y ork stands as a model for affordable academic excellence and is well positioned to be a leader in the national conversation on the cost of higher education,” she said.

“It will be a privilege to lead this great institution into the future and advance its distinctive mission and vision.”

Gunter-Smith, who was not available for comment Wednesday, ecomes the college s first fe male and first lac president.

Glatfelter said Gunter-Smith has the alifications and leader ship capabilities important to be the next leader. That she’s also a minority “offers the opportunity for or to roaden its diversifica tion.”

“If someone has the right leadership and skill set and happens to be a minority, that’s a net positive,” he said.

K yle Joines, president of the Y ork College student senate, said he met Gunter-Smith when she visited.

“We are very thrilled and excited to welcome her to campus,” he said.

Joines said Gunter-Smith is very personable, straightforward and approachable. She wants to work with students, he said, and be involved with the city. She expressed interest in meeting with the student senate once a month.

A student ambassador gave Gunter-Smith a campus tour when she visited, Joines said.

“One of comments was, it took so long to get through the tour because she would stop and say hello to every single student,” he said, adding that he believes she’ll reach out and interact with students when she visits again. She’ll be the type of president spotted at sporting events and other activities, he said.

Joines said that Gunter-Smith’s

biography shows “she’s very forward thinking, she’s very open minded.”

Glatfelter has said the committee was looking for someone who could move the college forward.

Gunter-Smith brings experience that will help her “proj ect the college outwardly much more effectively,” nationally and maybe internationally, he said.

Javier Aguayo, an assistant professor of political science, said Gunter-Smith made a presentation to faculty during her visit, and he’d been hoping she would get the j ob. he s incredi ly well alified and appears to be a consensusbuilder, he said.

“She was a department chair of biology,” he said. “She has the perfect combination of someone who knows how to manage one of these institutions and knows how it feels to be in the classroom.”

And she still will. She’ll be a professor of biology, an untenured position, intending to find time to be in the classroom, Glatfelter said. That will give her a direct relationship with students, he said, as well as help her relate to faculty.

Y ork Mayor K im Bracey called Gunter-Smith a “dynamic, inspiring lady.” They met and talked beyond their allotted time, she said, and Gunter-Smith expressed a passion for community involvement.

Bracey said Gunter-Smith will continue work Waldner has done to bring the college and city closer together.

“Students are engaged with our administration already. We want to see more activity of college with the city,” Bracey said. “Her leadership will definitely enco r age that and inspire more students to get involved.”

Bracey said Waldner has done a great j ob of encouraging students from around the East Coast to attend Y ork College. She thinks Gunter-Smith will encourage them to take root in Y ork and become part of the community.

Glatfelter said Gunter-Smith

has captivated the campus.

“Frankly there’s been a level of excitement around all this we had not seen in past candidates,” he said. “It really bodes well for an exciting transition.”

The Slippery Slope of Sin: Hold to God’ s Unchanging Hand

to reach my designation is a timely manner. Not to long ago, I encountered a rude driver who was speeding and swerving in front of me. He jammed his breaks, and attempted to make a turn in front of me. After we both came to stop, I drove around him, and he waived his hands began to swear at me. For a brief moment, I thought about waiving my hands at him, and swearing at him at well. At the last moment, I decided not to R e v . J as on C urry , P h. D . waive my hands and to swear at him out of anger because Like many of you, I 1) swearing is morally wrong consider myself to be a safe (J ames 5:12), and 2) swearing and courteous driver. I obey could lead to physical violence. the rules of the road, and seek J esus calls us to love one an-

of F i s k

other (Mark 12:31); therefore, physical violence against one’s neighbor is also morally wrong or sinful as well. Instead of using the incident as an opportunity to sin, I smiled at the driver and headed to my destination.

The Holy Spirit reminded me that one small sin, could lead to a multitude of sins; therefore, it was my responsibility to refrain from sinning because sinning could have put my life and freedom in jeopardy.

Committing sin (Matthew 15:19 ); which is rebellion or transgression against God’s word and will, is inevitable or unavoidable. When we sin, it our responsibly to repent; ex-

M

e mori al C hap e l

press regret for our sins and confess them before God so that we may receive God’s forgiveness. As a result of our experiences, our environment, and/ or our temperament, at times it may become difficult to avoid sin; however, we must try to avoid committing sin at all costs because it is easy for one sin to turn into two sins, and for two sins to be multiplied into four. In Matthew 12:4 3-4 5, J esus talks about how an unclean spirit may leave a person and finds no rest. It then returns may return to that same person with seven more unclean spirits to ruin that person’s life. If unchecked by the word, presence

and power of God, we may find ourselves sliding down a “slippery slope of sin.” Indeed, sin can ruin our physical, emotional and spiritual, lives, and destroy all that we hold dear.

J esus can forgive sins (Luke 5:20, Luke 5:31-32, Luke 7:3650). He is also able to save us from sin (Matthew 1:21). If we ever find ourselves sliding down this slippery slope, we must remember the power and presence of J esus Christ can always save us. In short, we must embrace the refrain of a great hymn of the church and Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand.

Christians &

Religion

Politics

I’m revisiting a past question from a reader; politics and christians have come up a lot, so to help answer a question that for some reason keeps coming up.

Should Christians be involved in politics?

I thought we were to only pray for our leadE ld e r “X ” L aw s on ers and wait for God to move.” One of my favorite scriptures to help shed some light on this comes from 2 Kings 3:11, “But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.” I love this

scripture because it shows us that we can and should do much more than pray for our leaders. Those of us who are in the roll of leadership in Ministry must continue to be a bright light not only for the world to see but for secular leaders to see as well. The world should be able to look at Christians when the world has lost its way or is simply looking to see and hear Godly wisdom in its decision making. In your Faith and Beyond William you should see yourself as one of God’s ambassadors who not only prays for leaders both locally and nationally but see yourself as an agent of change which helps to usher in the Kingdom of heaven. The bible also say’s in James 2:17 “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” We can pray all day, but at the end of the day if we have not faith, love, and the movement of action to walk in our faith, what’s the point. If you also look at 2 Kings 3:11 you see that it is the King who inquires about the “man” of God. How interesting is that compared to today’s political leaders who seem to side step and even ignore what faith really

means. I challenge you to read 2 Kings and see just why Jehoshaphat found it so very necessary that he had to search for a prophet of the Lord, I promise it will make you take a much closer look at our political system of today. As Christians we live for the Lord but it’s important that we also participate in our political systems to help teach, and help lead others who will fill the void of empty space should we choose not to participate. If you live in a black community look around it and ask yourself, “how can my vote and my voice make a difference?

That’ s You - Tatooed on God’ s Hand E v e ry d ay

J oy

b y

See, I hav e engrav ed you on the palm s of m y hands…

Isaiah 4 9 :1 6 ( a) NIV One clear, solid example of the difference between generations is having a tattoo. Most people in my age group (traditionalists or baby boomers) don’t quite get the tattoos worn by other generations—Millenials (my grandchildren’s age) or Generation X ers (my children’s R e g i na M age). I admit it; some of my opinions about tattoos can be rather stereotypical.

That explains why I was astonished to discover God has a tattoo!

Surprised? This verse in Isaiah begins with the word “behold.” God speaks with emphasis, as if to say: Come here; listen to this. This is important. Pay attention. Isaiah recorded God Himself speaking: I have inscribed you on the palms of my hands.

Months ago I met a medical center chaplain and asked for her views about the spiritual side of healing. During our conversation, she told me about God’s tattoo. “I needed to know that I am that close to God—that He loves me that much,” she said. “Our hands say a great deal about us.”

God’s tattoo is an image of you. He placed it smack in the center of both hands. Your image is engraved in the hollow of God’s palms. The Hebrew word in this passage, chaqaq, means to cut in or carve. Some translations say the imprint is your name; I like the interpretation that it’s an image of you.

R e g i na P rud e

In the midst of life’s challenges, our greatest fear is that God has forgotten us. Does He see the storms swirling around?. Do our storms matter? There you are, smack in the middle of a cyclone—just like the disciples out on the sea. You wonder if God cares what happens next. Is He sleeping ? Is He preoccupied while you face a cataclysm?

You are never out of God’s . P rud e thoughts; in fact, you are constantly on God’s mind. Your image is ever before me because it is carved on my hand.

Your portrait is there, your imprint is permanent.

My son has the amusing habit of writing notes to himself on his hand, perhaps a phone number or checklist. When he washes his hands, the note disappears. But, you are not a temporary mark on God’s hand; your image is perpetual, everlasting.

How comforting to know that we are never, ever out of God’s sight or thoughts. © R eg ina M. P r u d e, 2 0 1 3 R eg ina is an ins p ir at ional s p eak er & au t h or . C om m ent s : r eg ina@ r eg inap r u d e. com or P O B 5 8 7 9 5 , N as h v ille, T N 3 7 2 0 5 .

Lipscomb’ s Ayers Institute to Offer New Program in F alll NASHVILLE, TN — Lipscomb University’s College of Education and Ayers Institute for Teacher Learning and Innovation are partnering to offer an innovative new educational leadership program designed to prepare educators for leadership positions at the school, district and state level. The program will begin in August.

“This program is designed for current and aspiring educational leaders,” said Candice McQueen, dean of the College of Education. “The program offers innovative leadership competencies that will incorporate a focus on ethical leadership.

That is a cornerstone of Lipscomb’s College of Education curriculum. An emphasis on leading student achievement for all students is also a key focus of this program.”

The educational leadership program features four leadership strands including Personal and Ethi-

cal Leadership, Visionary Leadership, Learning Focused Leadership and Organizational Leadership. McQueen said that each strand is built upon research-driven leadership competencies, which participants will master and be ready to apply in the field. These competencies will be learned and practiced through innovative field experiences in which participants will work directly with a practicing mentor coach throughout the entire program.

Students may pursue a master’s degree, an Educational Specialist (Ed.S.) degree and/or a Tennessee Instructional Leadership License (ILL-B) through the program.

The university is offering a 26 percent discount for full-time educators enrolling in the program on the master’s level and a 20 percent discount for full-time educators taking courses through the Ed.S. program. Alumni who enroll in the program are

She spent seven years at Middle Tennessee State University as an adjunct professor in the department of Elementary and Special Education from 20042007.

As the 2013 Davis-Galloway Award recipient, Porter received an exclusive, custom-designed crystal award as well as a $500 grant from the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Foundation, Inc. to be awarded to a not-for-profit 501(c)3 or-

Program participants will be chosen from an application and interview process. McQueen said that upon completion, participants will not only be qualified to serve as school administrators in Tennessee, they will also possess the necessary skills to be highly effective, ethical school leaders who will drive positive student achievement growth.

Applications are now being accepted for the fall cohorts. For more information contact Kristin Baese at Kristin. baese@lipscomb.edu or 615.966.5173.

Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook has a new book out. “Lean In” has generated a lot of media attention. It’s all about women and leadership in the business world. Bottom line: she encourages women to seek leadership-level positions. Listening to the news stories we asked ourselves, what about the nonprofit sector?”

What does it take to advance to leadership level positions in the nonprofit sector? Our experience has shown that fundraising experience is an important prerequisite for securing an executive position and most importantly for remaining in the position. Related to this is an understanding of fund development and the ability to manage a fundraising operation. These are not the only prerequisite, but it is an important one that is too often overlooked.

If you are working for a nonprofit and want to progress in your career, make your intentions known and begin to prepare yourself. Our guidance relates to building your fundraising skills and network. Here’s why: securing funds from philanthropic sources is often times the primary revenue stream for a nonprofit.

Even those funded through government grants or contracts, or through earned income streams, find that philanthropic funding is what makes the difference between a “just getting by” institution and a thriving one. The willingness to raise funds and build a fundraising team provides an organization with the funding and resources it needs.

Lean in and prepare yourself to be a leader. Develop career goals that include responsibility for fundraising. Learn

about the different types of fundraising and how they work together. Invest in your education and training. Participate in online and in-person training sessions that expose you to new areas of fundraising and ones that deepen your current skill set. If your employer won’t invest in your professional development, make the investment yourself. Network with people you meet at conferences or online. Ask questions of those who are more experienced. Ask someone from a similar type of organization in another part of the country for a critique of a fundraising project you are working on. Read journals, books and blogs. Get a mentor.

If you don’t currently work for a major nonprofit institution, consider becoming a fundraising volunteer for a local hospital, university or public television station.

These institutions typically have more robust fundraising programs than grassroots or mid-sized organizations and can provide exposure to campaigns that include major gift solicitations, annual gifts, special events, direct mail, planned gifts, underwriting and other fundraising programs. ou will find opportunities to grow your skills and your network.

Most importantly make it known that you want to learn more about fundraising. Most people don’t embrace fundraising. That’s a mistake you don’t have to make. Lean in and you will find opportunities to learn and ultimately to lead. © Mel and P ear l S h aw Mel and P ear l S h aw ar e t h e au t h or s of “ P r er eq u is it es f or F u nd r ais ing S u cces s . ” T h ey p r ov id e f u nd r ais ing cou ns el to nonprofits.

TSU Administrator Displays Life Exp eriences Through Wood Sculptures in Gumbo People NASHVILLE (TSU News Service) – For Wilson Lee Jr., his life and history are portrayed through his art. Growing up during the Civil Rights Era during the late 1960s in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, woodcarving became his statement to the changing world around him.

“I wanted to be part of the civil right movement that was around us everyday,” said Lee. “It was everywhere, from protests and demonstrations, it was a part of our lives. My parents would not allow me to become involved in the movement because of the danger, so my artwork became an creative outlet and let me express what I had to say through art.”

Lee, who is the Director of Student Support for Adult and Distance Learners, is displaying some of the many pieces of his wood sculpture collection in an exhibit, entitled Gumbo People, through the end of March at the Avon Williams campus library. According to Lee, the five pieces, like the recipe for gumbo, represents a little bit of everything.

“The idea was to create an exhibit that had a mix of people, culture and experiences,” said Lee. “The pieces I selected represent the region and way of life of the people native to the Delta region.”

To understand the pieces in the collection, it is first necessary to step back in time to the mid-1960s when Lee was growing up in Greenville, Miss. The son of a master woodworker, he grew up watching as his father, mother, brother, aunts and uncles repaired wood furniture. After learning the steps to refinishing furniture, woodcarving allowed for more creativity. Furniture repair was far too structured for him.

“My father was well respected in

W i ls on L e e J r. w ork i ng on hi s p roj e c t

the art of restoring, repairing and refinishing antique furniture,” added Lee. “I grew up knowing the difference between mahogany and walnut. My first steps as a child were toward a bowl of shellac in daddy’s shop. But I needed more. I needed to fulfill a creative spirit.”

At the age of 12 he started out as a musician, but the “creative spirit” moved him in another direction. His first exhibit was in 1968 at the age of 15, winning first place in the Black Arts Display competition during Black History Week at his high school. The victory led to more showings while people in the community were taking notice of his work.

“The local newspaper wrote an article which led to receptions and showings at the local library,” added Lee. “I was invited to show my work at the Black Expo in Chicago, Ill., and to participate in the American Folklore Festival, sponsored by the Smithsonian

Institute. A show and demonstration at the World’s Fair in New Orleans, La., gave me an opportunity to show the world what I had to offer. I eventually went to college where I not only studied but continued creating art.”

Throughout the years, the focus of his work has changed with each chapter in his life, telling a story during that period. When he first started, the central theme was “freedom and struggles” to the concept of “justice.” Today, according to Lee, his work runs the gamut of themes and experiences. His art sometimes deals with controversial subjects, but it always goes back to his roots and a record of what is going on in society at any given period in time.

Titles of his works include Mississippi Blues, I Know The Lord He Heard My Cry, The Struggle Goes On, Salute to Civil Rights, Tree of Eternal Life, Holy Father, Praise With Drum, Mojo Blues, and Morality and Law. His exhibit, Gumbo People comments on the world around him.

“Underlying the abstract is a conceptual message that is often religious and justice conscious,” said Lee. “At times, the spirit flows from my head to my hands to create these pieces.”

The Gumbo People exhibit will be on display in the Avon Williams Library until the end of March. Hours for the library are Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. until 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.; and Sunday noon until 8:30 p.m.

“I hope this exhibit is something people can connect with and it touches them the same way the pieces have inspired me,” he said.

New Life Program Offers New Outlook for Participants

Ross Beckley can now have peace of mind after his time in Nashville’s “New Life P rogram,” an organization assisting fathers going thro gh financial or emotional turmoils. The program offered numerous possible solutions to his problems. “A lot of things are going against me,” said Beckley. “I’m seeking help to get my child support situation in perspective.

I sought the program out because I needed help with the situation. I couldn’t handle it on my own.”

One Sunday morning in January, Beckley was lying in bed and heard people talking about the program on the radio. “There were people talking about how they couldn’t afford to put gas in their car and all that. I j ust related to it and sought out some help,” he

said.

Beckley is originally from Akron, Ohio. He grew up in K noxville, TN but his mother’s j ob transferred the family to Nashville. Beckley is a computer science maj or at Tennessee State University and will graduate in May. Bec ley was married for five years and has a total of three children— two with his exwife and one with another woman. He is currently in a court battle concerning the child he had with the woman he never married. Down on his luck, he decided to give The New Life P rogram a try.

“Even though I was working everyday, all I could afford was gas money for going back to the j ob. Those are the kinds of things that New Life helped with,” he said. “Even though we have tough routes, its hard to do the right thing.

We got to talk to others about

their problems and provide positive outlooks on life. Its a place where guys can go and have real conversations.”

Things have been working against Beckley in court and the pressure was frustrating him. However, New Life helped to ease the stress.

“Most of us ( African American men) get a bad outlook in the court system. We’re perceived as the bad guy. We feel kind of isolated. Nothing can defeat a man more than separating him from his children. That’s an uncomfortable feeling,” he said in a recent interview. “One thing New Life taught us was to be healthy, you have to be emotionally stable as well as physically stable. New Life is a good outlet for good positive conversation. Y ou’re not the only one going through something. When you come out, you come out feeling bet-

ter, even if its j ust for that moment. I’m thankful for New Life because I was getting overwhelmed by the system.”

In addition, Beckley explained that his children are very important to him and strengthening his relationships with them was a top priority. “It’s not about today; its about that child’s future,” he said. “It’s not j ust about when they’re children; its about what you put into those children. That’s what New Life has helped me with.”

Though Beckley’s struggles are not over, he has a new outlook on life and strategies on how to deal with his pending problems. “The program helped me to clear my mind and get a different perspective on life. They give a man hope. Y ou feel better about yourself because you’re doing the right things.”

P rim er for Bl ac ks Blackness is a title, is a preoccupation, is a commitment Blacks are to comprehend— and in which you are to perceive your Glory.

The conscious shout of all that is white is “It’s Great to be white.” The conscious shout of the slack in Black is ‘ It’s Great to be white.’Thus all that is white has white strength and yours.

The word Black has geographic power, pulls everybody in: Blacks here— Blacks there— Blacks wherever they may be.

And remember, you Blacks, what they told you— remember your Education: “one Drop— one Drop maketh a brand new Black.”

Oh mighty Drop. And because they have given us kindly so many more of our people

Blackness stretches over the land.

Blackness— the Black of it, the rust-red of it, the milk and cream of it, the tan and yellow-tan of it, the deep-brown middle-brown high-brown of it, the “olive” and ochre of it— Blackness marches on.

The huge, the pungent obj ect of our prime out-ride is to Comprehend, to salute and to Love the fact that we are Black, which is our “ultimate Reality,” which is the lone ground from which our meaningful metamorphosis, from which our prosperous staccato, group or individual, can rise.

Self-shriveled Blacks.

Begin with gaunt and marvelous concession: Y OU are our costume and our fundamental bone.

All of you— you COLORED ones, you NEGRO ones, those of you who proudly cry “I’m half INDian”— those of you who proudly screech “I’VE got the blood of George WASHington in MY veins” ALL of you— you proper Blacks, you half-Blacks, you wish-I-weren’t Blacks, Niggeroes and Niggerenes.

Chef David Owens stopped by the McGruder Family Resource Center to share his culinary skills with members of the NLP. Chef David cooked a meal for the fathers to enjoy, while also sharing his personal journey of being morbidly obese, and how he developed a new approach to eating that has allowed him to lose 150 lbs. over the course of the

last three years. His journey was filled with challenges, such as the lack of widespread availability of fresh produce, and learning how to prepare food without losing its natural nutritional value. Chef David also explained to our fathers that a set of healthy cooking habits is one of the greatest legacies fathers can leave to their children. After the

demonstration, fathers received free copies of Chef Owens’ book, Brocklee & The Little Chef, and were able to learn kid-friendly recipes that they could incorporate into their dayto-day lives.

Vanderbilt’s longshot bid for a return to the NCAA Tournament ended Saturday with their loss to Ole Miss. Tennessee thought they were in line for a berth after winning eight of their last nine games, but a loss to Alabama in the SEC to rney arterfinals proved the fatal blow to their chances.

With the game tied at 1 in the third, a pair of defensive errors proved the difference. The P redators got caught on a twoon one with remaining, and ennart P etrell scored to make it 2-1.

Nashville went to a seven defensemen rotation for this game, ret rning onathan Bl m to the line p for the first time since March . orwards ach Boych and Chris Mueller were the healthy scratches.

As of Tuesday, the P redators had played e actly one half of the game reg lar season sched le.

They are so far ehind the first place Chicago Blac aw s points that coach Barry Trot has already proclaimed the Blac haw s ncatcha le in terms of the division lead. is players disagree, t they ve only lost two games in regulation and recently had a record rea ing strea of scoring points.

Stallings acknowledged the fatigue factor also played a role, as the Commodores were playing their third game in ho rs.

Defensively, their inside players also had diffic lt times with the d o of

Despite closing with a losing record, the Commodores’ return their entire roster and point to a closing stretch of si wins in eight games as a good start to next season. Ole Miss went on to win the to rnament and get its first NC id since .

Tennessee returns to the NIT for the second straight season, something that won t ma e a lot of its fans happy. T coach C on o Martin was pset that not only did his team not get an NCAA bid, but that the SEC only had three teams invited le Miss, lorida and Misso ri .
