Nashville mayor enlists neighbors to clean up community

By HARRIET VAUGHAN • Staff Writer (Tennessean)• August 1, 2008
(We will see this happening here in our community.

In a rush to beat the rain, Gary French is out cutting his neighbor's grass.
His neighbor is a single woman who often needs an extra pair of hands to help out. That's not a problem for French, who's lived on Calvin Avenue in Inglewood for 10 years. In fact, he's known up and down his street for helping his neighbors with odds and ends around their homes and in the yard.

"That's the way I was raised. I've always cared and taken interest in my neighbors and my neighborhood," he said.
French is the kind of neighbor Mayor Karl Dean wants to duplicate across the county with his latest initiative, Community Matters. He launched the program this week in Inglewood.

Community Matters is designed to offer two months of coordinated assistance from the city's Codes and Health departments and the Davidson County sheriff's office.

Neighborhoods prone to codes and health violations will be partnered up with the agencies to alleviate excessive citations. Residents and members of the county agencies will be looking for violations such as excessively tall grass, broken windows, illegal businesses and illegally parked vehicles.
Metro Beautification will help residents keep litter and large bulk trash items off the streets.

The program will begin in target communities in Inglewood and East Nashville and move to neighborhoods around the county.

It's a relief
That's a relief for residents such as 79-year-old Ann Smart. She and her husband built their East Nashville home 30 years ago. She says she's watched the neighborhood take a turn for the worse.

"When we built our house, it was a good neighborhood. It has just gone down so much and it bothers me. Some people just don't take care of their places anymore," Smart said.

Dean hopes to change that. As part of Community Matters, the mayor's office will conduct a two-hour training session for neighbors and neighborhood associations, teaching them how to identify codes violations and what to do if they spot one.

If a resident does not correct the violation noted by a neighbor, they will be reported to the appropriate agency. The agency will give them a time frame to fix the problem. If the resident refuses, he or she will be summoned to appear before a judge and could be given jail time.

"If someone's shutter is falling off, report that. If someone's car is parked illegally with illegal tags, report that," said Scott Wallace, a neighborhood liaison for the mayor's Office of Neighborhoods.

"We can't be everywhere and if we can stay on top of that, the neighborhoods will prosper."

Program will help
Paul Koumanelis, owner of Pizzereal restaurant in East Nashville, is excited about the program. He opened his restaurant four years ago. Clean streets and safer surroundings could mean more business in what was previously a home on North 11th Street.

"I think it's cool. Things are already on the upswing and this will really help," he said.

Koumanelis says often, people walk up and down the street near his business and litter. At least two homes within one block of his restaurant are in violation of city codes.

Brady Banks, director of the mayor's Office of Neighborhoods, says Community Matters is a proactive approach to reclaim neighborhoods gripped by crime and neglect.

Banks says the surge in county resources in target areas under the program will not deplete the staff responding to needs in other neighborhoods. A complete report of violations corrected will be published at the end of each 60-day program. The results will also be available online.

"West Nile Virus Alert"

Mosquito Pool Tested Positive
Hello District 29 Neighbors:
I received a phone call from Dr. Bill Paul today and below are the details of the reason for his call. Please note the following very important information that pertains to our area of District 29. Please take precaution while you and your family is out and about. Please call me at 589-2003 or email me from here if you have any questions or concerns about this notice.
Gratefully, Vivian
Dr. Bill Paul, Director of the Davidson County - Metropolitan Health Department says:

Dear Council Members:

This information will be released to the press this afternoon.

A pool of mosquitoes collected by the Metro Public Health Department have tested positive for West Nile virus. The mosquitoes were trapped in Antioch near the intersection of Bell Road and Murfreesboro Road. This is the first time mosquitoes have tested positive in Nashville this year. There have been no human WNV cases reported this year in Davidson County.

The Health Department’s Pest Management staff will increase surveillance efforts in the area by placing additional mosquito traps and monitoring standing water and applying larvicides when mosquito larvae are present.
The Health Department has no plans at this time to spray the area. “While Nashville has had occasional cases of WNV in humans over the years, there has never been an outbreak,” said Bill Paul, M.D., Director of Health. “Our approach to this positive mosquito pool is to monitor closely to see whether it is more than an isolated positive. However because the virus is here we recommend that people to take common-sense precautions to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes.”

Safety precautions to protect against biting mosquito:

1. Limit time outdoors at dusk and nighttime hours when mosquitoes are present.
   
2. When outdoors wear a mosquito repellent that is approved for use by the CDC – those include products that contain DEET, Picaridin, and Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus.
   
3. Wear shoes, socks, long sleeve shirts and pants when outdoors during dusk to dawn when mosquitoes are most prevalent. Clothing should be light colored and made of tightly woven materials to keep mosquitoes away from the skin. Pant legs should be tucked into shoes or socks, and collars should be buttoned.
   
4. Make sure your windows and doors have screens and are in good repair.

The Health Department asks community members to reduce or eliminate mosquito breeding grounds by removing standing water in your yard – especially in children’s toys, bird baths, clogged gutters, tires, flowerpots, trashcans, and wheelbarrows, as well as cutting back overgrown vegetation (mosquito hiding areas).

Health Department Pest Management staff have inspected more than 1,500 locations in all areas of Nashville, applied larvicides at more than 600 locations, and have set more than 600 mosquito traps from May 1st through June 30th of this year. Health Department staff continues to monitor mosquito populations several nights per week in 24 traps located throughout the county.

Individuals receiving a blood pressure screening should expect the following:- A risk assessment that includes a review of family history - Blood pressure reading - Education and recommendations to prevent hypertension, including insights about diet and other healthy lifestyle choices - A discussion of the results and, if necessary, a referral to the individual’s primary care provider The screenings are part of MinuteClinic’s commitment to improve consumer health and
encourage healthier living.

High blood pressure or hypertension affects 73 million Americans over age 20 and is the primary cause of death in nearly 55 million citizens annually.* When left uncontrolled, high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, heart failure, stroke and kidney disease. It’s often known as the “silent killer” because most individuals show no symptoms.“Estimates are that one-third of U.S. adults have high blood pressure and don’t know it,” said James Hartert, M.D., MinuteClinic chief medical officer.

“These screenings are highly effective because the only way to determine if you have hypertension is to get your blood pressure checked on a regular basis.” MinuteClinic health care centers are staffed by masters-prepared, board-certified practitioners who specialize in family health care and are trained to diagnose, treat and write prescriptions for common family illnesses such as strep throat and ear, eye, sinus, bladder and bronchial infections.

Common vaccinations such as influenza, tetanus, MMR, and Hepatitis A & B are also available. In addition, MinuteClinic administers a series of wellness services designed to help consumers identify lifestyle changes needed to improve their current and future health, including screenings for diabetes, cholesterol and obesity.

Staff reports • July 10, 2008 (Tennessean)

A 15-year-old, sitting behind the wheel of a stolen Honda Accord and fidgeting with his shirt, was found carrying a stolen Tennessee Highway Patrol pistol earlier today.

Shortly after the vehicle was stolen from the Nashboro Village area, Hermitage Precinct Flex Officer Edward Holliday noticed it parked in front of Berry’s Pawnshop on Murfreesboro Pike. He approached the car and saw the teen trying to conceal something.Turns out he was trying to hide a pistol with the markings of the Tennessee Highway Patrol on it.

The weapon was stolen during a burglary of a trooper’s Clarksville home last weekend. The 15-year-old was booked at juvenile detention on charges of auto theft, theft of the gun, unlawful gun possession, and driving without a license.
