ITS ALL IN THE FAMILY

A

“There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!”

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

At press time, I was in the throes of getting married! So my distractions have been unlimited during an already stressful and hectic time. But as always, I thrive on juggling multiple projects and this month was no exception as I got to put together this issue of YOUR Williamson featuring one of my favorite events of the year – the Heritage Ball. It is always a delight to see a field turn into a ballroom and a tennis court into a dance floor under the twinkling stars at the Battle field Park at Carnton every year. The Foundation knows how to do black tie just right and this year with First Bank’s generous donation of underwriting and the Parkers class and panache coupled with Angela Calhoun’s beautiful décor, it was definitely a night to remember. This month had plenty of fun events to mark your calendar for and the month of October is not going to let you sit down for a second! If its wine you want its wine you can find – with the Franklin Wine Festival benefiting Boys and Girls Club, Champagne and Chardonnay - another wonderful event of the Nashville Wine Auction and coming up in early November, the always fabulously fun Wine Down Main – where Main Street becomes a winery and tastings are on every corner or in every store in this case!

Fall can be a bit overwhelming in Williamson County as there is sooooooooo much to do. But I love it and I know you will too. Make sure to make your trip to Gentry Farm and pick out the perfect pumpkin! Catch a local high school homecoming parade or a Friday night game and cheer on your favorite team. Tailgating is a must of course during the fall and you can take your pick of local tailgate spots- Vanderbilt, MTSU or the Titans – or maybe journey to YOUR team’s home place and celebrate (HOTTY TODDY)!

Get gussied up and go swing! The Harpeth River Watershed Association will make sure you have a great time at their October event and you may even get a photo with a beaver. Don’t even think about missing Pumpkinfest on Main Street at month’s end where the kids can dress in their favorite costume and mom and dad can sample some chili at Franklin Tomorrow’s annual chili cook off. The gang from YOUR Williamson will be there so come out and vote for us! I promise it will be good and it will be HOT! Lastly, let me say on a personal note, that I did marry my longtime sweetheart and YOUR Williamson’s Vice President of Sales and Development Johnny Birdsong on September 29th. It was a fairy tale come true for us with our close family and friends on a gorgeous fall day at a gorgeous home in downtown Franklin. While we celebrated our blessed union, I was also struck as I always am, at just what a magical place Franklin is. It was certainly a magical and beautiful backdrop to our special weekend.

Robertson Media Group and YOUR Williamson is a family company and we strive very hard to share our family’s love of our community and our community values in a way that is sincere, true and real. We don’t have to try to extoll the virtues of our home – this place is the only place in the world we want to be and we want to continue to share that passion for Williamson County and all the great things that go on here as long as it is our privilege to do so. Thanks for all the well wishes and now….

Let’s get back to work! And enjoy autumn!

Take a Hike!

THE BREATHTAK ING C OLORS OF FALL

by Chris Carlisle

Take a hike! Yes, take a hike in the rolling hills of Tennessee and capture the breathtaking views of the fall season!

The leaves are changing and turning bright red, brilliant orange and golden yellow. These are the wonderful colors of fall and also the colors you may want to bring indoors when the winter months arrive.

Let your home reflect brilliant bold colors of the fall season and welcome in the warmth of the holidays. This October, think about Thanksgiving and all of the beautiful colors in your own backyard. What a perfect time for updating your home’s interior with design inspired from nature’s beauty.

Consider using bold accent colors of orange and green as shown in the floral painting above the buffet. I chose beautiful fresh cut flowers from a local flower mart with wheat stalks to create a fall arrangement that’s unique for holiday decorating. Note the orange Dahlia’s that worked perfectly for the taller arrangement, while the Chinese Lanterns or Physalis, with twigs of berries offered bright color in the smaller vase for a pop of orange!

Above the mantle you will see magnolia branches which work well if you need to fill in large spaces. Use this idea for Thanksgiving and then change it out and do something different for Christmas décor. I often spray paint the leaves with gold or silver to create a completely different look for the holidays. You can incorporate Christmas ornaments and candles if you like. For something new you may want to use the magnolia leaves around an Advent wreath.

Textiles and colorful fabric make a great option for table runners. I chose a bright green remnant I already had, as the decorative runner for a breakfast room. You can easily make this yourself and then choose a unique accessory or floral arrangement as the centerpiece. I love the abstract oil painting as the focal point in this room in rich reds and deep orange above the breakfast table.

Fall is the time to warm up your environment and light the fireplace. Enjoy this holiday season with bright bold color and entertain often!

IN THOMPSON’S STATION

Interior Design by Chris Carlisle of Carlisle Interiors carlisleinteriors.com 16

YOURWILLIAMSON.COM October 2012

Tucked away in Thompson’s Station, Tennessee and nestled in Williamson County, you can find the home of Trent and Amy Harris along with their children Gavin and Maggie.

Recently, the Harris family turned to interior designer Chris Carlisle, of Carlisle Interiors, for inspiration. Luckily, the Harris’ were not afraid of bright colors and welcomed the use of orange, red, green and gold in their home.

Bold fall color can help you warm up to a new palate for your interior design needs this season. Mother Nature’s foliage sets the stage to say goodbye to neutrals, beige and monochromatic tones and say hello to color! It’s time to brighten up your home as winter approaches and create an environment that’s cozy.

The spicy mix of color in the great room shows off a transitional space highlighted with an oversized geometrical painting.

It’s easy to create an updated look with original abstract art.

Note the painting in the dining room along with the rich, floral arrangement which sets the mood for entertaining with family and friends. The use of an original piece of art adds instant warmth to any environment.

The guest bedroom (pictured on the left) depicts a whimsical space filled with a variety of accessories, along with an original painting, as the focal point. The somewhat traditional bedding works here, even though it’s a more eclectic setting. In this small space, guests can enjoy the comfortable leather accent chair.

Also featured here are the distinctive custom drapes, which offer simple elegance with just enough of a pattern to be subtle, but not too distracting to the eye. Fabrics in plaid or an all over repeated shape work well to create this look.

It’s getting chilly outside, so create warmth indoors by decorating with your favorite fall colors during the cold winter months. It may be time to take a drive on the “Trace”, or have a hot cup of tea while gazing out the window at the falling leaves.

Breathtaking!

Walkability…at Westhaven it means the things you do every day–picking up groceries, meeting the kids after school, and enjoying a casual evening out–are all just a short walk away.

But while the convenience of being so close to everything may be what gets you out the door initially, you’ll soon discover the other benefits of walking Westhaven.

You’ll be uplifted by the beautifully landscaped streets and pocket parks, you’ll unwind to the sounds of the fountain and the smell of freshly mowed grass, and you’ll get to know your neighbors–people with whom you share a common bond–a true sense of community.

Stroll around Westhaven, and you’ll see much more than unique architecture and beautiful landscaping. You’ll see the families making the most of their lives, loving the shared experiences and special moments that make coming home each day a real homecoming … to a community where you belong.

Take a closer look at Westhaven.

You’ll see the difference is walkability.

Southern Land Company’s Westhaven Town Center was designed as one of the cornerstones of Westhaven to provide its residents and the surrounding area with all the convenience of a traditional neighborhood.

This planning allows Westhaven residents to live, shop and play all within the community and provides a convenient shopping destination for the west Franklin area. As Southern Land Company works to recreate the timeless character and charm of the traditional neighborhood, the recent development of the Town Center Association will be a great resource to continue promotion of the businesses to not only the Westhaven residents, but to the entire Franklin community.

Al Gregory, Vice President of the Franklin Synergy Bank and community executive for the Westhaven banking center, located in the Town Center, is spearheading the leadership role for the recently formed Town Center Association. The first charge of the organization was the sponsorship of Good Health Day @ Westhaven, part and parcel of National Health Awareness Month, which took place at the Town Center on September 22nd.

“The main focus of the association is to collectively share ideas on how to grow our businesses in the Town center. It is important that the tenants of the Town Center support each other which in turn will create more business for all of us,” says Gregory.

It’s important for the residents of the west Franklin area to know about the one-stop shop for all their basic daily needs, located conveniently in Westhaven. Everyone is invited to take part in the shopping, dining and living experience. “As the Town Center continues to grow, we will be able to serve even more of the local community. We look forward to the opening our newest business, High Brow Hill Coffee and Ice Cream,” said Mary Lee Bennett, Marketing Manager for Westhaven. “The Town Center plays an integral role in the livability of Westhaven,” she said speaking to the charm of the amenities of the community as a whole, along with the thriving Town Center, which includes a Harris Teeter grocery store, restaurants, shops and Vanderbilt Health medical offices.

A sense of family, friendship and community exists in all corners Westhaven. Many of the tenants inhabiting the Westhaven Town Center are family owned and operated business, with a majority of the tenants also living in the Westhaven community. These family-owned businesses embody the lifestyle of Westhaven and its residents…a warm smile and a friendly wave always greet you…inside the doors of each of the dedicated tenants Visit any of these businesses, and be greeted by the smiles of friendly business owners…owners that many know as their friends and neighbors.

A LEGEND CELEBRATES A BIRTHDAY Their 175th birthday to be exact. When founders Charles Lewis Tiffany and Teddy Young opened their store in New York City in 1837 as a “stationery and fancy goods emporium,” they could not possibly have known how that namesake and soon to be worldwide recognition would become as synonymous with luxury and the branding of class and statures as that little blue box from Tiffany’s would become. Now the blue box was not part of the initial image however and the store initially sold a wide variety of stationery items, and operated as Tiffany, Young and Ellis in Lower Manhattan. The name was shortened to Tiffany & Co. in 1853 when Charles Tiffany took control and the firm’s emphasis on jewelry was established. Tiffany & Co. has since opened stores in major cities all over the world. Unlike other stores at the time in the 1830s, Tiffany clearly marked the prices on its goods, as there would be no haggling for the price. In addition, against the social norm at the time, Tiffany only accepted cash payments and did not accept payments on credit.

In 1845, the Tiffany blue was first born with the first Tiffany’s mail order catalog, known as the “Blue Book,” and was published in 1845 in the United States and it is still being published today.

A few early Tiffany tidbits of note - in 1862, Tiffany & Co. supplied the Union Army with swords (Model 1840 Cavalry Saber), flags and surgical implements. In 1877, an insignia that would become the famous New York Yankees “NY” logo was struck on a medal of honor by Tiffany & Co. and issued to the first NYC police officer shot in the line of duty. The Yankees adopted the logo in 1909. The company revised the Great Seal of the United States in 1885. In 1919, the company made a revision to the Medal of Honor on behalf of the United States Department of the Navy. This “Tiffany Cross” version was rare because it was awarded only for combat, using the previous design for non-combat awards. In 1942 the Navy established the Tiffany version for non-combat heroism, but in August 1942 the Navy eliminated the Tiffany Cross and the two-medal system. In 1956, legendary designer Jean Schlumberger joined Tiffany, and Andy Warhol collaborated with Tiffany to create Tiffany Holiday Cards (circa 1956-1962). In 1968, US First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson commissioned Tiffany to design a White House china service, which featured 90 flowers. Tiffany’s is the maker of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, made annually to be awarded to the NFL team that wins the Super Bowl that year.

In November 1978 Tiffany & Co. was sold to Avon Products Inc. for about $104 million in stock. However, in a 1984 Newsweek article, it was noted that the Fifth Avenue Tiffany store had begun stocking so many inexpensive items that it began looking like Macy’s during a white sale. Furthermore, customers complained about declining quality and service. In August 1984, Avon sold Tiffany to an investor group led by William R. Chaney, for $135.5 million in cash. Tiffany went public again in 1987 and raised about $103.5 million by selling 4.5 million shares of common stock. Because of the 1990-1991 recession in the United States, Tiffany began to emphasize mass merchandising. A new campaign was started that stressed how Tiffany could be affordable for all; for instance, it advertised that diamond engagement rings started at $850.

“How to Buy a Diamond” brochures were sent to 40,000 people who called a toll-free number specifically set up to target the larger population.

However, to maintain its image as a luxury goods company, it continued to display high-style images in stores. In 2000, The Tiffany & Co. 24

Foundation was established to provide grants to nonprofit organizations working in the environment and in the arts.

Since 1940, Tiffany’s flagship store has been located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in Manhattan, New York City.

The polished granite exterior is well known for its window displays. The store has been the location for a number of films including Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn; and Sweet Home Alabama, starring Reese Witherspoon. The former Tiffany and Company Building on 37th Street is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.

Tiffany designs were worn by such famous US families as the Astors, the Vanderbilts, Posts, Huttons and the Morgans. Athletes, Hollywood stars, and even European royalty adored these diamonds.

Museums valued the Tiffany designs, which ranged from the Art Nouveau period to Art Deco to today’s modern styles.

For its 175th anniversary, Tiffany had the gem set in a spectacular diamond and platinum necklace totaling over 120 carats and had the piece tour the world before landing back in its New York flagship location. Tiffany is also releasing new collections for the company’s milestone.

Tiffany & Co. operates approximately 250 stores in 22 countries with 88 stores in the United States.

Confessions of a Beauty Junkie

3 CONVENIENT LOCATIONS Cool Springs Green Hills 216 Seaboard Lane 2209 Bandywood Drive Franklin, TN 37067 Nashville, TN 37215 615.771.0948 615.386.0500 Murfreesboro 1312 Memorial Blvd Murfreesboro, TN 37130 615.890.0955

It’s fall, y’all! October is one of my favorite months of the year. I love feeling the chill in the air, decorating my front porch with mums and pumpkins, watching the leaves change colors, and of course checking out the fall beauty trends! This season sees clothes and makeup rich in color and texture and full of fun!

The “it” color of this season is burgundy. I see it everywhere (and am coveting a huge burgundy handbag)!

The easiest way to play around with this color in makeup is with nail polish. I love dark, dramatic colors on my toes this time of year, so why not burgundy? It looks beautiful on fingers too, but make sure to keep your nails short when rocking a color this intense. Another fun way to experiment is with lipstick. Since there are many different shades of varying intensity, it should be easy to find one that suits your complexion. I like to work a stain by dabbing lipstick on with my pinkie finger and then blotting a few times to keep the look from being too intense for daytime. Those of us with fair or blue-based complexions will find that burgundy complements us fabulously!

Smoky eyes are also beautiful this time of year. (But don’t pair it with your new burgundy lips, unless you’d like to look like a clown!) I’ve found that a smoky eye palette doesn’t have to revolve around black eye shadow-- plum, shimmery cocoa, and even green make for gorgeous smoky eye foundations. A couple of my perennial favorite eye shadows for creating a smoky eye are Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eyeshadow in Eggplant and bareMinerals READY Eyeshadow Spectacular (a gorgeous shimmery olive green). The eggplant shadow matches well with heather and mauve, while the olive green comes in a two-pan palette with an iridescent ivory.

Each can be completed with either black or dark shimmery brown eyeliner and plenty of black mascara. Cover Girl Lash Blast is my absolute favorite mascara, hands down, end of story. If you’re feeling fancy, Guerlain Le 2 mascara is a rich, deep black and comes with two different brushes to ferret out even the wimpiest of lashes. Smoking!

Another fun fall trend returning this year are dark, deep nail polish colors. OPI Lincoln Park After Dark is a hall-of-famer in my book, so deeply plum that it appears black at first glance. Other beauties are NARS Purple Rain (a more vibrant eggplant) and Storm Bird (the perfect shade of gray).

Multidimensional finishes are also big right now, including shimmer and glitter. And if y’all haven’t yet experienced the magic that is the gel polish manicure, now is the time! This virtually indestructable polish formulation stays shiny and chip-free for up to two weeks, allowing you to experiment with dramatic shades without worrying about them chipping and looking tacky. I’m currently sporting a fabulous gold-spiked brown shade (like a Louis Vuitton purse!) on my fingers, thanks to the lovely folks at the Nail Bar in Cool Springs.

So go play with these beautiful colors and rest assured that you won’t scare anyone-- unless you actually mean to do so! Hope everyone has a fabulous fall!

Southern Soiree

PARTY & EVENT PLANNING

Bring a Piece of 5th Avenue to the Party

W

by Lauren Hartman and Krista Cook

What is it about that lovely blue box wrapped in a white satin ribbon that can make nearly every woman’s heart skip a beat? From their modern sterling silver necklaces to their signature engagement setting, there is definitely a timeless elegance that sets Tiffany and Co. apart from all of it’s competitors. In honor of their 175 Anniversary, we’ve decided to offer some tips on hosting a Tiffany’s inspired soiree that even Holly Golightly would be thrilled to attend!

As with any social event, the tone is immediately set with the invitation.

Is it formal, casual, quirky, etc?? Luckily in this case, we’re using some of the most widely recognizable packaging in history. At the rate it’s going, Tiffany Blue will probably become its own crayon....move over Robin’s Egg there’s a new trend in town! Needless to say a little pop of this hue on your invitation will immediately alert guests of your theme. Want to take it a step further? Add a watermark of an engagement ring or better yet a pop of sparkle with an actual jewel!

When deciding on decor, it’s important to keep in mind the type of event you’re hosting as well as the guests.... Uncle George may be less than thrilled if you hand him an oversized blinking plastic ring to wear as soon as he walks through the door.

For a wedding reception or large party, often less is more.

Use the pops of blue sparingly against a white and black background for a big effect. Incorporate some whimsy elegance into your centerpieces with strands of pearls or feather plumes.

However for a less formal gathering, such as a bridal shower brunch, get creative and go crazy! Encourage guests to dress for a “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and offer

fun favors and accessories for them to wear. Cover tables with the signature blue linens and top them with things like black candelabras and silver vases flowing with white roses. Serve champagne in tall flutes with blue ribbon tied around the stem for a simple but attractive touch. Lastly, find a fun cake or dessert to serve; we used petit fours that looked like small Tiffany boxes.

Unfortunately, most of us will never know the joy of stepping off of an elevator onto Tiffany’s engagement floor and being told to “pick one” alla Reece Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama. However, with a little imagination and classy inspiration, anyone can bring a piece of 5th Avenue to their next soiree.

Cheers to Tiffany and Co. and another 175 years of sparkle and success!

SELF IMPROVEMENT

YOUR BEST INTEREST

Managing Your Thoughts

By Connie Haley, Life Coach Do you LOVE your life?

Are your relationships a source of PLEASURE? Do you spend your time doing things you ENJOY? If not, you may benefit from working with a life coach.

What is life coaching? I am asked this question frequently. Life coaching is not therapy. If one needs to heal from a past emotional wound, it is best to find a therapist trained in that area. I work with people who are dissatisfied with their life in general, or in a specific area, like their career or relationships. We work together to create an awareness of why they are currently discontent and what sort of future actions can be taken to create the life they envision.

Coaching is not meant to be long term. Results can usually be achieved in three to six sessions. Sessions are one hour in duration and can be conducted in person, by phone or via Skype. Follow up email support is offered in between sessions if desired.

The form of coaching I practice differs from mainstream coaching.

The industry standard of goal setting and accountability is incorporated in my coaching, but examining why a client thinks the way they do, about a particular situation, is my starting point. I have had the privilege of training with Martha Beck and Brooke Castillo and incorporate their principals of how changing our negative thoughts are the gateway to changing how we feel.

The concept that our thoughts control our feelings, and not the other way around, is foreign to most people. An over simplified example would be getting cut off by another driver in traffic. If the situation leaves us feeling agitated, I promise you there is a negative thought behind it all. For example, a person might have a thought or belief system that states, “Younger drivers are inconsiderate.” It isn’t the situation that caused this person’s negative feeling; it is their negative thought about the situation that is the root cause.

This same scenario could be viewed from a positive outlook, such as, “The other driver just didn’t see me,” or “They might be rushing to pick up their sick child.” Positive thoughts will always produce positive feelings. Since we have the ability to choose our thoughts, wouldn’t we rather feel happy and content with life’s circumstances than mad and frustrated?

The goal of learning to manage our thoughts is to empower ourselves with the ability to manage how we feel. The majority of our stress is caused by our thoughts about situations that are out of our control. Imagine the sense of peace that ensues when we realize we have the ability to control our reactions to life’s more serious challenges.

Like any new skill, managing our thoughts takes awareness, practice and patience. The next time you feel annoyed, stop and ask yourself why. Continue the questioning until you get to an answer that feels true.

Hint – the thought will often contain the word “should.” Now, take that negative thought and tweak it until you have a believable, more positive thought. Notice the difference in how you feel.

Deliberate thinking is a skill we all can acquire. If you would like to hear more about this topic, or about coaching with me, please contact me at conniejhaley@gmail.com.

WHAT TO WEAR

FASHION & STYLE

Dam River Swing One exciting event not to miss this fall is the Dam River Swing benefiting the Harpeth River Watershed Association.

The evening event with dinner, dancing and an auction takes place on October 27th at Pontotoc Farm. This is an event that you can have a little country swag fun within the attire department! There is a country casual feel, allowing one to wear plaids, cowboy boots, denim, yet dress it up with accessories and trendy coats.

Executive Director of the Harpeth River Watershed Association, Dorie Bolze, and her husband Claude Carmichael, have a little fun at the farm showing off What to Wear to the Dam River Swing. Dorie ditches the denim this year for a Papillon rust plaid sweater dress, brown leggings and a XCVI fir green fringe jacket. She completes the look with Corral handmade leather boots, Mark Edge accessories and a Charlene K Druzy ring. The outfit can be found at Stacey Rhodes Boutique in Brentwood.

Claude gives the western ware look some modern swag with Rebel 36 jeans, a Scott Barber check button down shirt, layered with a Peter Millar v-neck sweater and completed with a Barbour Classic Beaufort coat. This look can be found at The Oxford Shop in Green Hills.

These two are ready for a great night for a great cause!

There’s one word I’ve been waiting to hear all year ~ FALL! Like me, many people claim Fall as their favorite time of year. It’s perfect!

It’s sweater weather and its the beginning of tailgating and party season.

What’s not to like? Growing up in the deep south, the Cashmere family would embrace Fall as the kick-off to Gumbo season. That’s right ~ true, authentic Gumbo. Love that stuff... GEAUX TIGERS! What is a conversation about Fall, without talking about Fall clothing?

Go ahead and admit it, you love digging out your favorite sweaters and items that have become your personal trademarks for cool weather. I know I do! There are certain items you can keep in your wardrobe from year to year, but the fun part is shopping for what’s new. My store of choice is The Oxford Shop in Green Hills. They have everything you’ll need to maintain that classic look of a southern gentleman.

The Oxford Shop recently celebrated their 50th anniversary and with one visit to their store, you’ll see why it’s the Men’s specialty store of choice for so many men. They have an in-house tailor that is unequalled and even when there’s fifteen other people shopping, they make you feel as if you’re the one their focused on. Great store! Great brands!

Great people!

I recently sat down for a fun-filled, light hearted Q & A conversation with Eric Viars, owner of The Oxford Shop. We enjoyed the wonderful scenery of Belle Meade Plantation as we discussed clothing and Fall, among other things.

JC: It has to be exciting to know that The Oxford Shop recently celebrated its 50th anniversary ~ how does it feel to know that so many men lean on you for your clothing expertise?

EV: You get into a business, you start a business hoping that you can build relationships with clients and establish a trust with those clients... and when you see them coming in regularly to support your business, it validates the hard work and effort you invest in your craft.

JC: I’ve heard from so many people that you make shopping fun ~ do you have any mentors?

EV: Yes! Abe Froman.

JC: Abe Froman? What did Abe do?

EV: Sausage King of Chicago.

JC: Oh, I get it, Ferris Bueller.

EV: You’re sharp. Big 80’s movie buff?

JC: Look, I ask the questions (laughing hysterically) EV: Ok, sorry, continue.

JC: What are some of the top brands people will find when they visit The Oxford Shop?

EV: Well, you know Johnny, we have some of the finest manufacturers in the world available right here - brands such as Samuelsohn, Zanella, Barbour, Peter Millar and Robert Talbott.

JC: What are some fashion tips you can offer to Men who may wonder about matching stripes with other patterns and layering for Fall?

EV: That’s a great question, and I’m glad you asked it; Aside from the obvious things like your jacket being a solid and your trouser being a pattern or vice versa, a man has to have a sense of what looks appropriate and his own sense of style and if he doesn’t, we will help him develop one. For instance, for me to say you can’t wear a striped tie with a patterned shirt would not be accurate. If you feel it looks good and it makes you feel good, then go with it. Because, isn’t that really what dressing is all about; feeling confident in what you’re wearing? That’s The Oxford Shop way...

JC: Can you tell me what’s happening in men’s fashion right now, trends, or otherwise?

EV: Clothing is more about fit than it is about fabric. Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of great fabrics and great looks, but clothing has gotten a little trimmer and a little more tailored and that’s what’s driving the Men’s clothing business today.

JC: Socks or no socks? When is it imperative to wear socks and when is it o.k. not to?

EV: You can write this down, Johnny ~ I don’t know! (awkward pause) I’m just kidding, I don’t know that its ever imperative, but there are definitely certain business situations and formal occasions where its appropriate to do so.

JC: Now for a “Formal” question, when selecting a bow tie, should one make every effort to learn to tie one, or is it acceptable for them to get a pre-tied bow tie?

EV: I think its always better for a man to tie his own bow tie, but we sell both at The Oxford Shop.

JC: Oh, so you sell formal wear at The Oxford Shop?

EV: Yes we do! We sell black tie, white tie, made to measure and off-the-rack.

JC: Does The Oxford Shop have seasonal trunk shows to showcase clothing for a particular season?

EV: Yes, Johnny, we kick-off each season with a trunk show and we usually have manufacturers reps in store to help you make selections.

JC: This has been a great conversation, but in closing, can you tell me your definition of Fall in a couple of words?

EV: Touchdown Alabama!

JC: GEAUX TIGERS! Just sayin’ Happy Fall, y’all... ~ Johnny Cashmere All clothing provided by The Oxford Shop 3830 Bedford Avenue in the heart of Green Hills Find them online at theoxfordshop.com Ph: 615.383.4442 October 2012 YOURWILLIAMSON.COM

WITH ANDREA DAVIS Your Williamson’s gal about town for everything arts, culture & leisure

ART: Jerry Quinlisk I feel very blessed to say that over the past few months I have been getting to know Franklin artist and horticulturalist, Jerry Quinlisk. We’ve been acquaintances for years, but we’ve never really connected. Now that I know his story, I’ve been thinking, “Wow, how did I miss this?” He definitely has an amazing story to tell and so much of it is expressed through his art.

Jerry invited me to his historic Franklin home to talk art and show displays of his work. The home has become a gallery, including a dining room turned studio. His work is so colorful that the walls really come to life and made me want to know what inspired all of them. I had no idea the depth of his story and how invested I would become in it.

After suffering a back injury 19 years ago, Jerry could no longer partake in his favorite pastime of playing golf. Ten years prior, someone told him that he was not a landscaper, he was an artist. Inspired by the memory of this statement and needing a new hobby, he decided to take some art classes at the Watkins Institute in Nashville to learn how to draw. He then took lessons from the legendary Bunn Gray who taught him to apply paint. Jerry says he doesn’t draw classically. He calls it “expressive art”. It is very personal and comes from within.

There is always a part of each piece that is a self-portrait. He approaches art as if it is a puzzle on the surface, and the work itself is trying to solve the puzzle. In the end, it looks different than what was in his mind at the start. The most enjoyable part of creating is the place that he goes in his mind, his “happy spot”. It gives him peace and tranquility. Which he definitely deserves…

Jerry was very open with me about his past and gave me permission to share it. He has struggled with alcohol and substance abuse and said he had no idea at the time how bad he felt. A diagnosis of liver cancer changed his life. As I sat in his home, we talked of how serious his condition was and how much he needed a new liver.

With tears in my eyes I tried to stay on task and asked him how all this affected his art. He said that his battle with cancer and being clean have changed the art. It’s more introspective. Before, it had been more lighthearted. In the last year, he starting working in pastels, which suits his temperament better since he doesn’t have to mix the paint. It’s a more rapid process, and he did one a day for a while.

The afternoon spent with Jerry was at the beginning of August, by the end of August, I am so happy to say that Jerry received a new liver. He is cancer free. He is doing well and continuing to express himself through his art. Before our meeting, Jerry drew a portrait of me. Since he says there is always a part of himself in each piece, I hope he sees some of himself in me. It would be quite an honor.

YOURWILLIAMSON.COM October 2012

MUSIC: Giancarlo Guerrero Here in Williamson County, we have an unbelievable amount of talent in our midst. I could write a story everyday for this column and still not cover everyone worth mentioning. So I will continue to share with you the ones that I have the privilege of getting to know who shine the most.

Giancarlo Guerrero, the conductor of the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, is definitely fits in that category.

I recently spent an afternoon with Gioncarlo, and it was incredible. We talked a lot about his love for Nashville and all the things that make it so unique. He certainly does not take any of it for granted. He says that of all the places he has conducted, Nashville is his favorite. There is nowhere else where you can hear a world-class symphony and go a couple of blocks and then hear the best country and blue grass music around.

Unlike many other conductors, Giancarlo lives where he conducts.

He believes that the music director should be a part of the community. He wants to learn the people and know what works here. He desires everything to have relevance to Nashville in the present time. His being here and having access to Nashville gives him the ability to serve the community through performances and outreach, and he feels he has a huge responsibility to keep audiences for years. Giancarlo wants to get rid of the myth that classical music is for a certain class of people. He wants everyone to know that the orchestra has something for all audiences. He says even what to wear can be scary, but when he goes to a symphony that he is not conducting, he prefers to wear his blue jeans.

When Giancarlo is conducting, he welcomes spontaneity. He trusts his musicians so much that he gives them the freedom to make changes in the moment, if they feel moved to do so. Not the actual music per say, but more of the energy and response to the audience’s reaction. He also loves when things happen in the audience that some conductors would find disturbing. For example, one time someone dropped a glass of wine from a side balcony, and it shattered on the stage. He thought it was funny. He adores children in the audience and hearing their laughter. There has, however, been an incident that he could have done without. He accidentally stabbed himself with his baton.

When he removed it, he was bleeding so much that he had to put it back in. I guess the show must go on whatever the cost! No matter the situation, he handles it with grace and style.

After visiting with Giancarlo, I was fortunate enough to attend a rehearsal, and it was more laid back than I imagined it would be. Every time he addressed the orchestra he would start by saying “My friends”. He is definitely not a stereotypical conductor. Someone in the brass section dropped his smart phone (probably in the middle of a game of “Words with Friends”), and Giancarlo did not say anything about it. I love that about him. He knows that the caliber of musicians he is working with do not need to be on a tight leash. If I were in the orchestra, he is definitely the conductor I would want leading me. I would be the one dropping the phone, hopefully in the middle of a triple letter, triple word score.

THEATER: Anything Goes When I was about 15, I began my involvement in community theater. For my small Mississippi town, it really did not seem all that amateur. I think there was some real potential for acting careers there, but they all kept their day jobs. Even our mayor was quite impressive on stage.

With braces and a “not yet developed” body, I was always cast as member of the chorus, but it was a lot of fun, nonetheless. The musical Anything Goes was the first of several plays I was involved in. Unfortunately, I have not been able to dig up any pictures. Just imagine big hair, too much blush that was definitely not in my season and a sailor dress. I still remember every song and occasionally break out into a little “Take Me Back to Manhattan”, when I’m missing that city that I love so much.

All that to say, I am very excited that Anything Goes is coming to the TPAC! The new Broadway revival of Cole Porter’s timeless classic musical theatre masterpiece, will dock in the Tennessee Performing Arts Center’s Andrew Jackson Hall October 23rd-28th. In case you know nothing about it, the play is a1934 musical comedy about two unlikely pairs setting out to see on the S.S. American on the course to true love… proving that sometimes destiny needs a little help from a crew of singing sailors, an exotic disguise and some good old-fashioned blackmail.

Rachel York (pictured right) will star as Reno Sweeney and Fred Applegate will star as Moonface Martin in what The New York Times calls “a zesty new revival with knockout numbers and white-hot dancing”. If you are reading this in time, get your tickets now. You do not want to miss this “De-Lovely” show!

Cheat days. Should you?

by Trish Gomez, Registered Dietician & Personal Trainer

Caramel apples, Mr. Goodbar and Reese’s. I’ve been dreaming of these for the past week. One of my weekly cheat days in October falls on the day of Halloween.

Incorporating cheat days into a weight loss plan has several advantages. First, they provide an outlet for underfed cravings.

Giving yourself permission to indulge in the things you crave once a week helps you stay true to your diet six days in a row. Second, a spike in calorie levels awakens a metabolism that often slows to a crawl after weeks of caloric restriction. And third, gorging on sugar, fat, and salt for a day will leave you feeling sluggish, bloated and ill-tempered- a good reminder of why you avoid these foods in the first place. Prolonged caloric restriction (a reduction of 500 calories or more per day) lowers levels of leptin - the hormone responsible for keeping appetites in check, thyroid hormones and metabolic rate. A spike in calorie levels can raise levels of leptin and thyroid hormones, resulting in a bump in metabolism of 9% or more above pre-cheat levels.

Cheat days have helped dieters drop pounds and melt body fat in dramatic ways. But they aren’t for everyone. In reality, my plan for an all-out splurge at the neighborhood cookout isn’t really in my best interest, for a couple of reasons.

First, while I am very particular about what I eat, I do not restrict calories enough to benefit from a cheat day. And second, I am a sugar addict, and have worked hard to retrain my taste buds in order to “lose” my taste for sweets. A binge on chocolate chip cookies could set me back on my self-imposed sugar ban for months, undoing any good I may have accomplished in one fell swoop.

Psychologically, a cheat day could either relieve the gnawing of the cravings, or give you permission to indulge in a constant obsession over your next binge.

A good alternative for many of us who don’t qualify for cheater status is a relaxed meal. This may be one meal a week in which you relax a bit on your restrictions, such as substituting hors d’oeuvres for dinner during Monday Night Football.

Ultimately, whether a cheat day works for you depends on a few important variables. If you follow a calorie-restricted diet six days out of the week and can easily resume a healthy diet after a cheat, a cheat day may help you reach your goals. But if you are not a calorie restrictor, or use cheats as an excuse to feed your addiction, cheat days will slow or even reverse any progress you’ve made.

Whether you cheat or not, continue to keep your eye on the ball, make eating intentional and stay healthy.

CHARITABLE SELF

Cheekwood’s Jane Offenbach A wisteria arbor with one of the most magnificent views in all of Nashville, is just one of the many wonders that Jane Offenbach loves about Cheekwood. September 1st was the two-year anniversary of Offenbach beginning her journey as the CEO of the botanical gardens that she calls paradise. Her first thought, when she became CEO, was that the institution needs to be on the national scene. A new vision statement was formed stating, “Cheekwood would be a dynamic nationally recognized destination renowned for its historical significance, incomparable beauty and excellence in art and

horticulture.”

Offenbach has worked very hard with much success on keeping the momentum going from the Chihuly exhibit that was taking place when she first arrived. She has put a lot of effort into making sure there is something for everyone at Cheekwood and to displace the myth that it is elitist. The Tree House exhibit alone brought in over 100,000 people and generated 1500 new memberships,

which is something to be celebrated. The calendar is full of upcoming events that she is sure will only continue to make Cheekwood a place of solace and joy for everyone.

When she is not working, Offenbach enjoys spending time with her son and walking her dog. However, she says most of her time is spent in the gardens.

She loves to walk the grounds and see people interacting with the environment.

After hours, she likes to reflect on those that used to live at Cheekwood and hopes to someday showcase to the public what it was like to live there.

Right now, there is a real excitement about all the creativity in Nashville and its future. Offenbach believes it is a very amazing time to be here and is helping to make Cheekwood a part of that. It’s one of the most beautiful places she has been.

She says many people realize Cheekwood is a Nashville treasure but do not realize it is a national treasure. She has put together a 5-year strategic plan called Fast Forward: Cheekwood in Pursuit of National Preeminence. When she began two years ago, she saw huge potential for Cheekwood to be on the national map and feels that it will be. Offenbach states proudly, “Cheekwood is Nashville’s Biltmore.”

YOUR DESTINATION

Henderson Park Inn

O

MOST ROMANTIC HOTEL IN NORTH AMERICA

The Henderson Park Inn is known to many a loyal traveler, but guests are almost beholden to secrecy as this little piece of heaven is known to be sold out continuously now that the world has discovered them! Recently named Most Romantic Hotel in America and Second Most Romantic Hotel, by About.com, the Henderson Park Inn has been very high profile of late and receiving many accolades and write ups lauding its unique and wonderful beachside offerings.

The Henderson Park Inn is a luxurious New England-style bed & breakfast nestled in the heart of Destin, Florida. And yet seemingly off the beaten path. At least it feels that way when you make your way there; down the old beach road – Highway 98. Perhaps part of the Inn’s ability to be a bit undiscovered is that it has been unfortunate victim to every hurricane to hit the Panhandle in recent years and thus had to endure several spans of time with their doors closed for business. Hurricane Ivan devastated the Inn in 2004, laying final rest to the swimming pool. But making way for a beautiful green space – just perfect for a beachside wedding. One of the most unique factors of the Inn has to be its smack dab on, unobstructed near perfect at every hour of the day, eye level view of the Gulf of Mexico. The Inn has now been restored and renovated, but doesn’t look like any of the typical new Mediterranean style condos and high-rises you are used to seeing. More something out of Martha’s Vineyard, with its weathered looking grey clapboard siding and brown roofs. As you pull into the parking lot you are greeted with huge pots of beautiful and colorful flowers and the white rockers just waiting for you to take a seat! The fact that their stretch of beach is private to guests only and that the Inn is protected by a mile of private shoreline on the Emerald Coast, next door to the Henderson State Park, 48

YOURWILLIAMSON.COM October 2012

means that to the west – there is an unusually unspoiled, calm and people free view.

This B&B for adults only offers elegant rooms all with a view. Plush bedding and linens, complimentary Gilchrist & Soames toiletries and of course – a bottle of wine, rose and fresh fruit in your room upon arrival, make it feel like you are checking into a high end hotel. Rooms are individually decorated and have verandas or terraces overlooking the Gulf. Some rooms include fireplaces, most have whirlpool tubs. The very personable Inn staff has thought of everything to make your stay as relaxing and comfortable as possible. Lemonade and cookies are available all day, as is a refrigerator stocked with candy bars, soft drinks and water. All complimentary!

A full-scale gourmet breakfast is served every morning complete with made to order omelets, waffles, all the accompaniments, juice, coffee and more. Boxed lunches are provided to guests and evening Happy Hour as well. Don’t worry about lugging down your chairs, umbrellas and beach towels. Linens are provided daily, and every guest receives complimentary beach chair and umbrella. Other amenities include flat screen TV’s, DVDs for viewing, and high- speed Internet. The amazing effect of this place is that even the Blackberry addict will have no desire to disturb the overwhelming peace and tranquility by turning on a TV or paying attention to a phone and email. Grab a book from their bookcase and actually relax in a rocking chair or gulf side swing! Take a bicycle ride - bicycles are lined up waiting for guests to enjoy a ride down scenic 98 after a day on the beach.

Yes, you could travel the world over and find many a beach side jewel comparable to the amenities of the Henderson Park Inn. However, there is no comparison to getting to this place without a plane ride, within 7 hours, no passport,

and on what really is one of the prettiest bodies of water anywhere! Do yourself a favor- next time you are thinking romantic getaway or perhaps even a quaint and truly memorable honeymoon option – think about the Henderson Park Inn. No children are allowed at the Inn, so in effect it is the perfect adult hideaway. And for those looking for a destination wedding location the Henderson Park Inn offers several facilities for a full scale wedding ceremony and reception. The West Lawn and/ or East Lawn allows up to 150 persons to mingle and enjoy the spectacular views of the gulf and sunset, and provides outside seating for wedding and reception functions. The Veranda deck provides a more formal venue with the same views and seating for up to 25 people. The North Lawn can accommodate groups of 250 to 300 people depending on the desired function. Catering is available for any function. And romantic and beachside formal dining is available nightly in the Beach Walk Café. For more wedding information please call event planners at 850-837-6595.

Henderson Park Inn, the area’s only Gulf-front bed & breakfast is the perfect place for a romantic getaway, honeymoon or relaxing vacation. Check out the website at www.hendersonparkinn.com for more details. Convenient on-site check-in is available 24/7. Adults only. For reservations, contact Henderson Park Inn, 2700 Scenic Highway 98 East, Destin, FL 32541, toll-free 1.866.398.4432 for reservations.

RECENT AWARDS/ACCOLADES 2011-2012: Henderson Park Inn was voted the “Best Place to Pop the Question” in Destin, named the Number One hotel (out of 42) in Destin on TripAdvisor.com, voted the “Most Romantic Hotel” in North America in the About.com Reader’s Choice Award contest, named the “Most Romantic Hotel” in the Emerald Coast’s Finest awards contest, ranked Most Romantic Getaway in Official Best of Florida, and named Destin’s “Best Inn” by Southern Living Magazine (2009).

It was a celebration of Americana Music in the Fork as the village invited friends to the Lawnchair Theatre to hear the Fairfield Four perform their famous tunes from the movie, “O Brother Where Art Thou.” The foot stompin, knee slapping sounds had the guys grabbing their girls for some heel kicking good times on the dance floor. The music and costumes of the 30’s along with the aura of Leiper’s Fork took you to a time of yester year. It was another fun filled family night in the Fork.

Tailgaiting with a Twist:

W

FRESH SOUTHERN FLAVORS PERFECT FOR THE BIG GAME

by Erica Rains and Executive Chef Chris Rains

photography by Sarah Bailey

Rutgers and Princeton played one of those historical football games in the fall of 1869, and many say that day began the specifically American pastime of tailgating. The age-old tradition wraps us up like a warm blanket and makes us feel like autumn is definitely in full swing and we can pull out our soft sweatshirts and favorite jerseys.

The Chef and I met at a Titans game, right smack in the middle of a good late fall tailgating scene at L.P. Field. The brats were on the grill, the cocktails were flowing earlier than is usually acceptable but totally normal for pregame parties, and love was in the air.

We like to recreate that day often in our minds, and on the grill. The chef has so much fun with recipes you may not immediately think of while donning face paint and playing corn hole, but his newest tailgating taste involves ingredients that you can find fresh right here in Williamson County: peaches. Paired with this awesome sweet and spicy pork tenderloin, it provides a surprisingly easy dish that will make every single of your friends’ cocktail wieners and deviled eggs jealous.

Like most everything The Chef and I do, it can’t just be normal. Therefore, we tested this tailgating with a twist (actually we featured it recently on News Channel 5’s Talk of the Town in September) and it was a huge hit! The best part about this incredible tailgating dish is that while it’s beautiful on your fine china at the best of dinner parties, you can also eat it with disposable utensils, serve it on a paper plate, and all you need is a grill and one pot to do it. So take this gem to the next tailgate with you and let us know what happens…

SWEET & SP I CY SOUTHERN PORK AND PEACHES For the peaches, you will need: Whole Peaches 4 each (quartered and sliced) Olive Oil ¼ cup Salt 1 teaspoon Fresh Ground Nutmeg ¼ teaspoon Cinnamon ¼ teaspoon

Directions: Prepare peaches and sauté in stock pot over medium heat with seasonings for one hour. Serve. (Don’t be afraid! Just set that pot right on top of your grill and let ‘er roll!)

For the pork, you will need:

Pork Tenderloin Salt 1 tablespoon Granulated garlic 1 tablespoon Paprika 1 tablespoon Cumin 1 teaspoon Chili powder 1 teaspoon Sugar 2 tablespoons Pepper 1 tablespoon

Directions: Combine all seasonings and mix well. Generously coat pork tenderloin with seasoning. Place on grill set to medium temperature, cook over heat for 25 minutes until medium well. Remove and let rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with peaches.

52

YOURWILLIAMSON.COM October 2012

You don’t have to have a football stadium behind you to try this, but it sure does add ambiance. Try it at home with your backyard grill and a pot on the stove for the peaches. Whether you’re feeding a few friends over for a barbecue, or your whole tailgating team before the big game on Sunday, this one will be historical; kind of like that Rutgers/Princeton game over 150 years ago.

In Williamson County, we know how to tailgate. Check it out: Tailgate Tuesdays at the Williamson County Association of Realtors (runs through fall-details at williamsoncountyrealtors.org)

TAILGATING

A UNIQUELY AMERICAN EVENT

HISTORY story by Shelly Robertson Birdsong

The Tailgate – it is as synonymous with football, especially college football, as the players themselves. The word conjures up images of fall days filled with the sounds of a roar from the stadium and laughter and cheering around a table of yummy foods and signature Saturday or Sunday cocktails. As an Ole Miss grad I am of course schooled in the time honored tradition of the mystical tailgate spot known as The Grove. Now we could get into arguments galore over who has the best tailgate but what’s important for this article is simply how we came to have a tailgate party. Where did this activity stem from and how has it evolved to its current stature in the world of football?

The tailgating experience is a uniquely American event. The roots of this fascinating, yet strange cultural activity goes back nearly 100 years - longer depending on which legend strikes you as most believable.

The Browns Fan’s Tailgating Guide, written by Peter Chakerian, writes in detail of three of the most probable roots of the first tailgate party. The first theory given is that the tailgate party occurred during the first college football game between Rutgers and Princeton. Apparently, spectators spent their pre-game ritual grilling sausages at the “tail end” of the horse. Thus a past time is born and it’s possible name.

The second story goes that a train transported a large number of fans to a Yale football game in 1904. By the time the fans had arrived to the game all were hungry and made sure that they came complete with pre game food and beverages to the stadium for enjoying prior to the start of the game.

And the third story of the beginning of Tailgating tradition is from Green Bay Packers fans who supposedly coined the actual term “tailgating” during the team’s 54

YOURWILLIAMSON.COM October 2012

first year in business in 1919. Back then, the fans would back their pickup trucks around the field and fold down their tailgates for seating. Naturally, food and beverages were brought along to keep the appetite in check. This scene sounds familiar doesn’t it?

In my experience, and not just in the Grove but at every tail gate, SEC, High School and Pro I have been to – the basic elements are the same. Everyone gathers outside the stadium with lots of fun people. Make sure there are dips aplenty, wings seem to be a standard and at best, a bloody mary or a mimosa for those early fall day games. We of course dress it up a bit in Oxford with linens, grandma’s silver candelabra and our best monogrammed tumblers – but you can easily get by, with respect – via the red solo cup. Presentation is key but it’s also all about being a fan. And the celebration of your team seems to be the true value behind the tailgate on game day. Flags a flying, team cheers chanted, school colors abound; these are the symbols and signs of a truly great tailgate. If you have never attended one in the Grove – I suggest you add it to the bucket list. But for my friends and fans from other tailgate lands – no matter where you are on a Saturday or Sunday morning – could even be the tailgate of the coffee table watching on the flat screen – enjoy friends, food and just being a fan of the team – that’s what makes Tailgating a loved and honored autumn tradition.

Share your tailgating stories, photos and favorite recipes with us thru November 15th. We will include as many as we can online at www.yourwilliamson.com.

FASHION IN THE SEC story & photography by Andrea Davis

In the South, we have four seasons- winter, spring, summer and football. For so many reasons, football, as I’m sure you’ve heard a million times, is a like religion to us. This mindset is certainly justified by our dominating conference and the fact that, well, we just do it better than everyone else and with style.

In the SEC, fashion and football go hand in hand.

I myself am an Ole Miss girl. If you’ve ever had the privilege to go to the Grove, you know that our approach to football fashion is a bit over the top but a tradition we hold very dear.

Girls donned in the latest trend in dresses paired with high heels or cowboy boots walk along side boys in shirt and tie with khaki pants, Polos also being acceptable. Little future Rebels complete the look running around in cheerleading uniforms and football jerseys. What color to wear to each game has become so important at Ole Miss that it is now printed on every ticket. Other SEC schools do not take it to quite extreme measures, but they are fashion conscious, nonetheless. Some people don’t get why we dress the way we do, but I say, “Why not?” Our southern tailgating style is known to appear as a fancy cocktail party so we might as well dress for the occasion.

With the addition of two new SEC teams, I guess there has to be a fashion learning curve. Should we call a press conference? Get them up to speed? I’m sure if they don’t figure it out, we’ll just say, “Bless their hearts” and invite them to our fancy party anyway because our tailgating style always comes with a side of southern hospitality.

DRIVING WILLIAMSON COUNTY

W

When Williamson County resident Carl Haley Jr. founded transportation company Grand Avenue in 2009, his goal for the company was simple. Haley wanted to offer his friends, associates and neighbors an entirely new way to travel, conduct business and enjoy nights on the town.

Now, just three years later, Haley has realized his vision, with the newest and largest ground transportation fleet in the region – including SUVs, luxury and hybrid sedans, vintage roadsters, motorcoaches and executive vans. In addition, Haley outfitted each vehicle with satellite technology and GPS tracking, enabling his team to ensure that passengers arrive safely and on-time. Whether you’re looking to host a business meeting on the road, attend the Heritage Ball in style or tailgate at the next SEC football game, Grand Avenue has a vehicle to match your needs.

“As a longtime resident of Williamson County, I know firsthand the challenges and transportation needs of my neighbors,” said Haley. “Grand Avenue was designed to get residents where they need to go, safely and worry-free.”

Committed to innovation, Haley created specialized programs for business travel, special occasions and on-demand specialty transportation service.

The Grand Corporate division simplifies business travel with a dedicated account manager, customized reports and a rewards program, which offers points toward free travel for every reservation booked.

Socially connected Williamson County residents delight in the Grand Occasion service, created for the events in life that call for a special touch.

Dedicated planners at Grand Avenue create custom transportation packages for brides and grooms, galas, proms and even anniversary dinners, making sure that the transportation is executed flawlessly.

Also unique to Grand Avenue is the company’s Grand Select membersonly program that offers on-demand, personalized chauffeured transportation from a designated account representative. Grand Select members enjoy perks such as concierge service including pet-sitting, house sitting, errand running, dry cleaning 60

YOURWILLIAMSON.COM October 2012

service, grocery pick-up and car detailing. Professional drivers are available 24/7 to transport members to and from where they need to go in one of Grand Avenue’s well-appointed vehicles -- or their personal vehicle. Grand Avenue’s network of affinity partners offer Grand Select members discounts and preferred access at restaurants, venues, golf courses and spas.

Today, Grand Avenue has grown to serve the entire Middle Tennessee region, while also offering transportation services to more than 450 destinations worldwide. Haley’s team of professional drivers, customer service representatives and operation specialists has served more than 3,000 businesses and individuals across the country.

What’s next for Grand Avenue? With his entrepreneurial spirit, Haley is always seeking innovative ways to enhance the Grand Avenue experience.

Most recently, he introduced a free mobile app which makes booking airport transportation, flights, hourly travel and connecting with customer service fast and simple. The app, which can be downloaded easily at grandavenueworldwide.com/ app, is the first of its kind in the region.

For Carl Haley and his family, Williamson County will always be home.

He and his wife Connie are actively involved with the Heritage Foundation and Battle of Franklin Trust, along with a host of other worthy causes. They have been passionate advocates for the restoration of some of the area’s most historic landmarks including the Carter House and original Franklin Theater.

Through Grand Avenue, Haley strives to provide residents in Williamson County and beyond the opportunity to experience what it feels to “Be Driven” and enjoy life more fully. To learn more, visit GrandAvenueWorldwide.com.

SPONSORED EVENT

39 YEARS OF FABULOUS The 39th Annual Heritage Ball was a phenomenal success and as always captured the essence of preserving our past for the future. Held on the ground of the Battle field Park at Carnton, the backdrop of history could not have been more fitting.

Decorating Chair, Angela Calhoun combined the best of shabby chic and old world elegance to achieve a soft and warm toned evening of pinks, peacock blues and golds. This year’s Ball would not have been possible without all of their wonderful sponsors and underwriters, but with much much applause going to First Bank for signing on as multiple year presenting sponsor for the Heritage Ball. Chairs James and Jennifer Parker exuded enthusiasm and hospitality welcoming the over 600 guests to the grand affair.

Tim Pagliara was aptly honored with the Patrons Award for his continued generosity and service to the Heritage Foundation for many years. Connie Haley and Bob Rudman were recognized as King and Queen of the Ball for their tireless volunteer work for the Heritage Foundation, for which the Ball is held and the proceeds benefit. The unique and locally grown farm to table menu, a great band and a fabulous silent auction all contributed to an evening that will not be forgotten. And will be hard to compete with next year!

ENTERTAINMENT LAW | ART AND MUSEUM LAW | EQUINE LAW

After nearly twenty years of practicing tax, employee benefits, government relations and health care law, Angie Washington shifted her law practice towards intellectual property; focusing on visual arts, entertainment, sports law, general business, including collections, family law and basic estate planning. * While the new version of her “virtual” law practice based out of e-Spaces, is incredibly challenging, the increased flexibility has given Angie a greater chance to represent individuals, such as songwriters, employees, “starving” artists and local musicians, as well as start-up businesses, including budding art galleries like LeQuire & Company in Green Hills. It has also given her the chance to provide leadership and fundraising for several local and national non-profit organizations, such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee (through Diamond Rio’s “Team Rio” Country Music Marathon training group) and Hurry Up and Live!Co T-shirt line, for the Jack & Jill Late Stage Cancer Foundation. In addition Angie mentors a Native American child from New Mexico in her school studies through Futures for Children and also has long been an advocate of various domestic violence prevention groups and charities.

Such a unique law practice offering allows Angie to try different legal strategies. One such method includes working directly in a clients’ business in a key role to learn exactly what each business needs to grow. This allows her insight as an advisor to target areas of strengths and weaknesses in a client’s direct operations in order to determine what impact different legal options would have in each possible scenario. While this approach is time-consuming and requires a substantial investment from both the client and the attorney/consultant, it offers a lasting partnership for both parties and the best opportunity for business growth from an insider’s viewpoint.

A poet, screenwriter and equestrienne herself, Angie recognizes the importance of having a great mentor and qualified advisors to rely upon. This was illustrated when her twelve-year old Thoroughbred horse, Dante, who came to Franklin from a racetrack in New Orleans, fell suddenly ill earlier this summer. With a thunderstorm brewing in the background one afternoon, Dante’s groom, Froylan Vega, noticed that Dante suddenly had begun to paw, look around at his belly and roll in his stall, all of which combined are signs of colic, which can range from a mild stomach upset to a lifethreatening conditioning for horses and ponies.

After an initial examination by local vet Tony Kimmons revealed that surgery would be necessary to repair a “twisted gut,” Dante’s caretakers and trainers consulted about where to send him for the surgery. And, although Dante’s trainer, Martin Klein, was out of town at a horse show, ultimately he made the decision via phone to send the horse to Tennessee Equine Hospital in Thompson Station rather than to Kentucky or UT in Knoxville, thus giving Dr. Liberty Getman much needed time to save Dante’s life. The result was an immediate success story and Dante (aka, the Wonder Horse) recently began rehabilitation work after two months of recuperation and stall rest. Dante is pictured above with Martin Klein riding. “Benchmark Farm, Martin Klein and Tennessee Equine Hospital have all been clients of mine. That’s how my practice works so well,” says Angie Washington. “And in this case, it also saved my horse’s life!” *Neither Angela K. Washington, Esq. nor Washington Law, PLLC hold any specialty expertise in the areas of family law or estate planning in the State of Tennessee, nor are any of the other areas of law mentioned above currently available for specialty recognition under Tennessee law.

Blink Marketing named Small Business Award Winner Blink Marketing, a Franklin, Tenn.-based branded merchandise company, has received a Small Business Award from the Nashville Business Journal.

The publication’s first Small Business Awards was created to recognize Nashville-area small businesses that, despite the Great Recession, are thriving.

The selection process included a review of the past three years of revenue to identify companies on a clear growth trajectory. “Blink Marketing is an example of the type of thriving small businesses that are flourishing in Middle Tennessee,” said Kate Herman, president and publisher of the Nashville Business Journal. “Small businesses are not just mom-and-pop stores and franchises. The best small businesses have the vision and drive to eventually become great big businesses. “Blink Marketing received the award in the 3-9 Employee category for its revenue growth of 162 percent, and subsequent staff increases of more than 200 percent. Managing Partner Daniel Gardner attributes the company’s success to hiring the right people and creating a motivating environment. “There is a such thrill to growing your own business that keeps you motivated even during the down times,” said Gardner. “Our steady growth over the past 10 years would not have happened without the help of a lot of outstanding people, namely our amazing staff and loyal clients,” said Gardner. Blink Marketing believes in the power of branded merchandise as one of the most effective and cost-efficient advertising and branding tools.

The company works with each client on brainstorming, research and design to production, packaging and fulfillment.

Located in historic downtown Franklin, Blink serves clients locally, nationally and internationally. To learn more, call 615.599.1231 or visit www.blinkmarketing.com.

TUCKER’S HOUSE

The Factory in Franklin was playhouse heaven as Tucker’s House hosted their first Playhouse Tour of Homes. Nine builders designed and built nine fabulous playhouses that were displayed in the common area and outside. There were houses for the princess, the boat captain, the lego maniac and others so unique with such detail it was evident they were a labor of love. The playhouses were auctioned and the money raised will help families of children with special needs have more handicap accessible homes. A delightful reception was held at Imagine Gallery with food, entertainment and a silent auction.

She was married to the late Leonard Hearne Armistead, Jr. and thereafter to Mr. Massey, who established the Alyne Queener Massey Library at Vanderbilt University in her honor. Mrs. Massey’s professional achievements include having served as a former reporter with the Nashville Banner and subsequently, as the Director of the Women’s’ Division of Commerce Union Bank. She was the first woman to be elected to the board of trust of Third National Bank and served on the board of Volunteer Capital Corporation.

She also formerly served on the Vanderbilt University Board of Trust and on the boards of the Vanderbilt Heart Institute, the Kennedy Center at Vanderbilt, the John F. Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington, DC, the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, Cheekwood Botanical Gardens and Museum of Art, the Preservation Society of Palm Beach, the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach and the Blair House in Washington, DC. Mrs. Massey was a founder of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee and the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. She was an avid supporter of Battle Ground Academy, Planned Parenthood and of the Mental Health Association of Middle Tennessee where she established the Jack. C. Massey Leadership Award dinner. She was also a member of the Colonial Dames of America, the Garden Club of America, the Garden Club of Nashville, the Belle Meade Country Club of Nashville, the Centennial Club of Nashville, the Bath and Tennis Club of Palm Beach, the Everglades Club of Palm Beach, the Meadow Club of Southampton, NY, the Bathing Club of Southampton and the Colony Club of New York. To say that she exemplified what it means to give back to your community would be an understatement and we honor her memory here. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her personally and by those of us who only knew of her and felt profoundly respect, admiration and reverence for such a gracious and giving personality.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women, but it can be treated successfully.

The key is early detection.

Regular screening mammograms, clinical examinations and breast self-exams allow breast cancer to be found in its earliest stages when it’s most treatable.

Women are recommended to have a screening mammogram every year beginning at age 40.

Schedule a mammogram today by calling 615.435.5022.

We’re here for you so you can get back to what matters most.
