Dear Readers,

Welcome fall! ! By now the kids are all back in school, routines are again the norm and there is a change to the light outside that lets us know – cooler temperatures and the rites of autumn are around the corner. Actually one of

those is already in full swing – football! I cannot claim to be a huge fan, although there is something about the change of season every year about this time, that gives me a thrill at the thoughts of weekends filled with the sounds of football. I will be cheering my Ole Miss Rebels (I don’t acknowledge this change in mascot Bear thing) on as I do every year. Who is YOUR team? Tell us on Facebook please and this month share your favorite football season memory. High event season also kicks off in September. The busiest months of anyone’s social calendar inevitably are September – December. So here we are. Are you ready to swing into fun at the Harpeth River Water Shed Association’s annual Harpeth River Swing on October 1st? This fabulous event celebrates the historic and nurturing river that surrounds our community and raises funds for this wonderful organization that helps to keep it clean and intact – even through catastrophic and unheard of flooding as we saw last year. The 38th Annual Heritage Ball is this month and will feature a homage to old Hollywood and the decorating genius of Dorothy Draper. Very retro and chic and oh so fabulous too! Enjoy some jazz at the Jazz Festival this weekend as well as Mercy Children’s Clinic’s Franklin Classic. There are so many wonderful events this fall you may have to double book but make sure you do enjoy this beautiful month in Williamson County. There are big changes around the bend at YOUR! It has been a summer of evolution and growth for us already, a new magazine yes, but building off of the previous magazine we all had the privilege to work for for many years. We have set about the task of not reinventing the wheel but simply transforming it into a new and better model, but one which still feels like YOUR community, YOUR events, YOUR business, quite simply YOUR magazine. In coming months you will see more of YOUR – literally, as we increase and expand our distribution (call us if you want to be a drop site monthly), expand our staff – look for new faces in our next issue and at events this month – and increase our viability with more social media, online content and plenty of interaction daily with our readership, advertisers and the community at large. We welcome your input and insight – after all this is YOUR publication. Tell us who and what and where you would like to see us – and guess what – we will listen and do all we can to make it happen!

Bluegrass Along the Harpeth preserves old time music and dance in a very

authentic way. Competitions are held throughout the weekend’s festivities for all types of Bluegrass musicians and dancers. The event benefits The Williamson County Cultural Arts Commission, whose mission is promoting and encouraging

the creative spirit in our world, as they believe the expression of creative spirit is the most precious commodity for all of us and it brings the human community closer. It was a success again this year and brought many music lovers from all over to enjoy some great performances.

Sometimes when you hear a word it can bring about many meanings and thoughts. I was listening to a

sermon and heard the word “Truth”. It reminded me of many things. It is one of those words that are woven into our culture and many aspects of our everyday lives. When you pay attention to the details, it can take on many new meanings.

One can think of many titles and phrases that include the word “truth”. Jack Nicholson tells Tom Cruise,

“You can’t handle the truth”, in the Movie, A Few Good Men. In the Movie, The Awful Truth, with Carrie Grant and Irene Dunne, much of the movie deals with what did Cary Grant do while he was out of town. Other phrases often heard are: truth be told, to tell you the truth, he wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him, truth or dare, truth or consequences, truth in lending, the truth is in the details, to tell the truth, his truth is marching on, the truth is scary. When using the word “truth” in a sentence, it can give different meanings and nuances to how someone will be perceived. If someone starts a sentence with, “To tell you the truth”, am I to assume that they normally don’t tell the truth and they are making an exception in telling me this next upcoming nugget of information because I am special or it is my lucky day? Truth in Lending was passed in 1968. One would assume that there should have always been truth in lending in any personal or business transaction? I’m sure it was always implied before 1968. The financial industry can sometimes perceived as less than forthcoming with the truth. Either the companies or the individuals can be perceived as lacking transparency. Regulators and industry checks and balances have been changed in recent years to improve the environment for consumers and the companies that operate in the industry. The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM Board of Standards requires all those earning their designation, pledge to their code of ethics. Their designation can also be revoked for poor conduct. This is an example of being penalized for not being truthful in running your practice and in your business dealings. The Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 is also known as the ‘Public Company Accounting Reform and Investor Protection Act’. This was passed as a result of the accounting scandals that were present at companies such as: Enron, Tyco Int’l, Adelphia, and WorldCom. These are the effects of not being forthcoming with truthful accounting practices. Another way of viewing the truth is when all known information is gathered and viewed. When a CFP® professional gathers the client’s data in the first step of the financial planning process, it is then analyzed and a plan is created and presented to the client. When the plan is presented to the client showing where they stand with respect to achieving their desired retirement and family goals, the truth reveals itself to the client. Then steps can be taken to change course or modify things to potentially help better the odds of the client meeting their financial goals. Truth be told . . . the truth shall set you free to pursue your goals.

2011 Parade of Homes: September 24 - October 7

For more information, visit www.groveparkconstruction.com.

Williamson County native Brandon Jenkins launched Grove Park Construction in 2005

at the age of 22, building a few houses at a time and developing a reputation for a focus on personal service, quality construction and attention to detail. Over the course of six years, the company has built more than 50 custom luxury homes, with most ranging from 4,500 to 12,500 square feet and $700,000 to $3.5 million. Grove Park is one of four builders invited to participate in the 2011 Parade of Homes, presented by the Home Builders Association of Middle Tennessee in Brentwood’s Annandale neighborhood September 24 through October 7. Jenkins says that, most often, he works with customers from the selection and purchase of a lot through the design, sourcing of materials and construction of the home. The company tailors solutions to each client, helping to guide them through this new era in the housing industry. “We own an electrical company, a tile company and a trim carpentry company, and we work with suppliers all over the country. The sky is the limit, and we’re able to make our clients’ dollars go farther,” Jenkins says.

Grove Park is currently working on projects in neighborhoods including the Governor’s Club, Windstone, and Hampton Reserve in Williamson

County, as well as in Belle Meade and Green Hills. Projects have included indoor basketball courts, glass-ceiling wine cellars, computer-controlled shower spas and media rooms that deliver a world-class sensory experience. “We’ve flown in installers from around the

country who specialize in certain materials – tile roofs and rare hardwoods and hand-made mosaic,” adds Jenkins. The Parade home won’t disappoint, either. From

the double foyer and free-floating staircase in the soaring entry to heated marble tile in the master bath, every detail was conceived with functionality and luxury in mind. The 6,400-sq. ft. Annandale home features five bedrooms, five full baths and two half baths, but it’s the custom paneling in the study, massive bath rooms with televisions, vaulted barrel ceiling in the master bedroom, a multi-tiered media room with a 110-inch screen and an old-world billiards room with top-shelf electronics that set it apart. The kitchen features a hidden pantry, professional-grade appliances, 5 cm marble countertops and a gorgeous breakfast room that overlooks the den and the travertine patio with a stacked-stone, wood-burning fireplace. The yard includes a separate stone fire ring, an outdoor

kitchen, wet bar, and luxury spa. These are just a few of the countless details included in this dream home, and you’ll want to see it for yourself. Make sure to attend this year’s Grove Park Parade of Homes, so you can see all of this amazing beauty!

What do a blue whale, the space shuttle, 16 African elephants and a steam locomotive have in common? They all weigh 120 TONS, which is how much

flood debris HRWA’s volunteers have removed so far since the historic May 2010 flood that hit the greater Nashville region. Following the flood, HRWA began assessing the damage and found huge amounts of construction debris (parts of homes, barns, sheds, etc.) and personal belongings like lawn mowers and furniture along with thousands of downed mature trees, all along almost 60 miles of the Harpeth River. State and federal sources could not help fund any effort to remove the debris that was on private property or in the water unless it was immediately threatening public infrastructure, like a bridge. With several grants, totaling $37,000 from the two Disaster Response Funds of the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, they have been able to organize a hugely successful first year of clean-up. HRWA targeted flood debris that was a direct hazard to those using the river as well as debris that had the potential to create debris dams and cause more localized flooding. They formed many partnerships with local governments, local businesses, volunteer organizations and employment groups to help with in-kind contributions such as clean-up supplies, dumpsters and food and water for volunteers and

t-shirts. 776 volunteers put in over 3,500 hours last year in the Waterway Flood Recovery Project and pulled out 120 tons of debris! HRWA leveraged $37,000 in grant support for their core project staff into over $150,000 worth of work with the help of volunteers and in-kind contributions. Because of their early experience with forming partnerships and organizing cleanups with volunteers, HRWA was instrumental in helping form the Nashville Waterway Recovery Project with Hands On Nashville, Impact Nashville out of Mayor Karl Dean’s Office, Cumberland

River Compact, Richland Creek Watershed Alliance and Metro Water Services to address these same problems all over Metro Nashville-Davidson County. There is still a need to focus on removing the remaining inaccessible debris, some in large accumulations along rural areas of the river, which poses a risk to safety, water quality and/or property. It is now time to start addressing restoration needs targeting the severely eroded areas and landslides caused by the May 2010 flood. Over 10,000 mature trees along the river have been uprooted and now lie along the river. To get involved or gain more information on the Harpeth River Watershed Association, go to www.harpethriver.org.

The Cultural Ireland Tennessee group held an authentic

Irish roots festival on the grounds of O’More College and around downtown Franklin. This festival was the real deal, even supported by the Irish government. With musicians, dancers and singers flown over from Ireland to perform and

teach their beautiful and singular art form, as well as speakers connecting the musical traditions of Ireland to our Tennessee musical heritage, the country’s customs were certainly seen in a true light. The weekend was full of music and dance, old-style singing, Gaelic games and more!

wedding Y( )UR

May 14, 2011

Old Hickory Lake was the backdrop for Reliant Bank’s Debbie Vandiver

and John Martin, Jr. as they were united in marriage May 14th. Pastor Stan Mitchell of Franklin’s GracePointe Church conducted the ceremony as the couple’s three teenagers stood with them on the lakefront lawn of a family friend. The bride and groom were surrounded by close friends and family for the casual yet intimate ceremony. A bouquet of purple irises was carried by the bride as a symbol of her Tennessee roots. The wedding cake was chosen by the groom. A chocolate cake iced with white butter cream frosting, adorned with a delicate pearl pattern and topped with purple irises. The bride’s late

maternal grandparents had lived on Old Hickory Lake. With many weekends and summers spent on the water, the lake front setting was made even more special for the occasion. An unusually chilly day for mid-May was a blessing in disguise for this outdoor wedding as it held the thirteen year cicadas at bay. After the intimate ceremony, a sumptuous buffet was served with live bluegrass music being performed as gifts to the bride and groom. The newlyweds spent their wedding night in The Presidential Suite overlooking an atrium at Gaylord Opryland Hotel where they anticipated their week long honeymoon at the beach.

O’more Student’s Classroom Vision Inspires New Entrepreneur Center

In Nashville

When Whitney Kane’s interior design studio class at O’More

College of Design was asked last spring to come up with concepts for a new Nashville Entrepreneur Center facility, she had no idea that it would become a real-world summer job for her. The architect, Thom Meek of DeNovo Concepts, was so impressed with Kane that he hired her as a summer intern. As the internship ends and her senior year begins, she’s about to watch elements of her proposal come to life. Construction begins on the Entrepreneur Center’s new facility in an old trolley barn on Rolling Mill Hill in downtown Nashville in a matter of weeks.

Meek says Whitney has been a self-starter who has a lot of talent but is eager to learn from those with more experience. Michael Burcham, Ph.D., is the chief executive

officer of the Nashville Entrepreneur Center. Burcham says that Whitney’s work stood out during the classroom presentations, and he’s been continually impressed with her approach to the project. Burcham says he expects to break ground on the new facility in less than a month, with a grand opening in the spring. The Entrepreneur Center’s mission is to connect entrepreneurs with investors, mentors and the critical resources they need to accelerate the launch of startup businesses.
