Letter from the Publisher

Happy 4th of July y’all! It is the season of fireworks, barbecues and family celebrations. I don’t want to get too heavy, but at some point during the fireworks and fanfare, close your eyes and listen to the bone rattling booms

and watch the light penetrate your eyelids. Now imagine yourself 234 years ago, in combat, vastly outnumbered, under equipped and out of food. I’ve been to the Lex-ington Concord area of Massachusetts during winter. It was hard enough to stay warm being indoors. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like to have to fight a war without the modern clothing and supplies that we take for granted these days. But, they pulled it off. A small rag-tag group of citizen soldiers defied the greatest of odds and took on the reigning super power of the era. Led by a skilled General (who would later become our first President), the new “Americans” put everything they had at risk to live their dreams and to build a better future for their families where “All men are created equal”. So, the next time that the car won’t start, you are stressed out over work or your family vacations doesn’t go as planned, put yourself in the place of that 15 year old soldier of the Continental Army and you will soon realize that your problems are not so bad. Every single one of us in this great country enjoys a type of freedom that is rarely seen on this planet. Sure you may not agree with the current administration or a former adminis-tration, but the great part is that we have the power to change it. That’s right, “We The People” have the power over our own destiny. Let us never forget this. So, as you enjoy your hot dogs and apple pie this 4th of July, close your eyes and try to image the terror that our young soldiers have had to face since the beginning of this country right up through the present to ensure that our freedom stays firmly intact. Maybe even say a little “thank you” to them in your head. I’m sure they will hear you. The fireworks that you will see and hear are simulations of the bombs bursting in the air. Although we are safe and this is meant as entertainment, just remember that there are brave men & women of this country’s Armed Forces a half a world away having to deal with the real bombs bursting in the air. Thank you to our Armed Forces... past, present and future.

Meet the Neighbors

The Perry Family

New Fieldstone Farms residents Jordan and Erin Perry knew moving would be difficult with their 2 1/2 year old son Brayden, but they never imagined how difficult it would truly

be. The Perry’s closed on their new home in the Prescott Place section of Fieldstone Farms on April 30, 2010 - the weekend of Tennessee’s massive flooding. Thankfully, their home escaped with minor damage because of a roof leak, and due to the kindness of neighbors, who came knocking on the front door at 6:30 in the morning, the Perry’s were able to move their cars and their rented U-Haul out of harm’s way. “We knew we had moved to the right place when we saw how this community came together during the flood,” Erin recalls. “It makes us glad to be a part of such a wonder-ful neighborhood.” Erin Perry, a native Nashvillian, and Jordan, a native of West Tennessee, knew they always wanted to live in Middle Tennessee, but it wasn’t until after they married and had their son in West Tennessee that they really considered moving back to the Nashville area. “Brayden was 5 months old when we moved. We really always dreamed that when he became school aged he would go to Williamson County schools. So our plan was to move to Nashville earlier and get our feet on the ground.” Erin imme-diately got a job teaching English at a community college while Jordan was finishing his degree in Accounting at MTSU. “It was tough raising a baby and going to school full time while my wife

worked, but I got to spend a lot of time with our son, and I feel lucky that I got to do that.” In the same week that Jordan secured his job working as an accoun-tant for an international insurance broker, Erin was forced to take a hiatus from her job to begin taking care of their son full-time. The Perry’s had noticed for a couple months that their son’s development seemed stalled, and finally at his 18 month check up, Brayden’s pediatrician decided he

should be evaluated. Shortly after, Brayden began speech and occupational therapies. “Brayden wasn’t talking, or really even looking at us. He had severe sensory issues, and that ‘mommy gut instinct’ just told me something was really wrong.” Consequently, Erin began taking Brayden to therapy four times

a week, attending every session with her son, so that she could learn along with Brayden, and be able to implement the therapies at home. On March 10, 2010, Brayden was diagnosed with autism. While the news was devastating, the Perry’s poured themselves into research, learning everything they could about their son’s condition. According to the Center for Disease Control, 1 in 110 children in the United States are now being diagnosed with

autism, a neurological disorder that effects communication and social inter-action. Two overwhelming concerns for the Perry’s were finding out that neither of their son’s insurance policies would cover any of his treatments, and ob-serving the negative reactions people had to Brayden’s non-typical behaviors. “We have, unfortunately, experi-enced people making rude comments about our son, especially if he throws a tantrum. Autistic children who have limited verbal skills often get frustrated and can’t express themselves - what looks like a tantrum from a spoiled child is actually our child trying to tell us that he is overwhelmed.” Realizing that their own needs were so great, the Perry’s began to think about others families facing the same situation, and the idea for their

website, Autism Village, was born. The Perry’s wanted to create a website where they could both blog about the difficulties and joys of raising their son. They also wanted to provide a place where information would be current and easy to find, as well as to offer support to parents facing similar challenges, by including both online support groups and information about meet up groups as a part of the website. Additionally, their website includes opportunities to donate money to help cover the cost of Brayden’s therapy and medical bills. Recent studies estimate that the lifetime cost for the care of a person with autism is $3.2 million dollars. “Though our first goal is to raise the money to help our son, we hope to turn this into a bigger organization where we can help as many people as possible.” Long term goals for Autism Village include establishing a center where parents, siblings, and extended family members of children on the autism spectrum can receive free counseling. When not busy with therapy, the Perry’s love spending the afternoons walking the trails of Fieldstone Farms with their dog Maxwell. “Anytime someone sees us in the neighborhood, I don’t want them to hesitate to ask questions. The more people we get to tell about Brayden, the more people become aware. I also believe that there must be other families in the neighborhood with children on the spectrum, and I want to reach out to them - so that we can all be there for each other.” To learn more about autism and the Perry family, please visit their website at www.autismvillage.com. Magnolia would like to thank the Perry family for taking the time out of their busy schedule to share their story with us. If you would like to introduce yourself to the neighborhood, we would love to feature your family. Please just write to us a FF@magno-liapublications. Thanks!

Nightmare at the Book Fair by Dan Gutman

“Trip Dinkleman is no fan of reading. He would much rather play sports than look at words on a page. But on his way to la-crosse tryouts, the president of the PTA asks for his help in setting up for the upcoming book fair and he reluctantly agrees. After a crate of books knocks him out cold, Trip finds himself in another world, pulled from one bizarre story to the next. As he tries to find his way home, he starts to realize that he’s actually inside the

books and that reading words on a page is more exciting than he thought.” Trip’s adventures first take him into a horror book and a carnival with a creepy haunted house, where he meets Professor Psycho and his assistant Ivan. The professor has been doing experiments on animals, giving them different faces, but now he wants to try out his experiment on humans! Another one of Trip’s escapades lands him in hot water…well actually, SPACE! Trip has awakened to find himself in a historical fiction book, on board Apollo 11, on his way to the moon. Trip has joined the famous astronauts that landed on the moon in 1969. Each chapter is a new adventure, based on different genres of books. You must read the book to find out what happens!

Dan Gutman has written several other books, including:•The Talent Show

•The Christmas Genie•The Homework Machine

Cuddly Companions

Hello! My name is Brutus. My family said that if they knew that my ears would stand straight up when I grew up, they would have named me Yoda. I am 10 years old and was adopted from the

Nashville Humane Society when I was 4 months old. I am a mix of Dachshund and Chihua-hua. I know all kinds of tricks that i’ve pretty much taught myself. Sitting up on my back legs and giving a high-five is my favorite. I have several toys strategically placed around my home and I know them all by name. Mommy tells me to get the “Blue Bear” and guess who I return with? That’s right, the Blue Bear. The greatest part about it is that I will usually return to find a yummy Goldfish cracker waiting for me as a reward. Some of my favorite things to do are walking

on the trails in Fieldstone Farms. Even though I am the size of a soup bowl, I still get respect from the other puppies in the neighborhood. Some of the residents of Fieldstone Farms refer to me as “The Mayor”, a title that is befitting a dog of my nature.

I get really excited to see my cousins Molly & Potter when they come over. They don’t like to play as much as I do, but I enjoy their company. Sometimes Mommy takes me to school with her where she is a teacher. The kids love me (who wouldn’t) and they have even built

me my own castle. I also have a wonderful job. I am a service dog. Sounds simple enough right? That’s not so. I went to training school for 12 weeks at Pet Partners in the Nashville area. They are a local branch of The Delta Society (for you 2 legged people, it’s like Harvard) I have worked in various places like, camp for “special needs” children, a domestic violence shelter, and now my current and favorite position at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. When I go to work I wear a special green vest to let people know I’m the “top dog” here with the important job of visiting the children, and cheer-ing them up. I love snuggling with the kids in their soft blankets. I just have to be mindful of any “boo-boos” they

may have. The children love my visits, and I am grateful that they enjoy me so much.

Magnolia Spotlight

We were approached late in the month of May by a Fieldstone Farms resident with a suggestion to write a story about a neighbor named Anthony Roselli and his family. As we began to research

and collect the information needed, we quickly began to realize that “Coach Roselli” is a name that not only joyously echoes through the community of Fieldstone Farms, but reaches to the furthest parts of the city. Instead of writing a story about Coach Roselli and paraphrasing from some of the emails that came in, we just felt that the story was told better straight from an email itself. Below is what we received: “Most of us and our children know him as Coach Roselli or

Coach Anthony, and has coached many of our boys/girls over the last 10+ years. At a time, when many are searching for role mod-els, we are blessed to have someone in our own backyard. He has never wanted the spotlight, the attention, or daily THANKS. He (and his family) have unselfishly, year in & year out, given all to our children. Treated our children with nothing but KINDNESS & respect, and loved our children like they are his own. Never asking anything from us in return. He had this amazing ability, to reach within our children, and pull out the best they had to offer. You will not find a more balanced, humble, and down to earth person. Someone that is TRULY out there in the world for the right reasons! Anthony’s wife, Melissa, not long ago suf-fered a serious head injury, then a near fatal blood clot, which was a tremendous hardship for him personally and his family. They have 3 children, one daughter (death in accident), and two boys, AJ ( In think 10, maybe 12) and Enzo 5. In middle of it all, when the last thing he needed was giving his time to our children, there he was giving back to us all. Over the years, when any of us parents tried to thank him, his response always from the heart saying “I am honored & humbled to have shared in their life path, and it is I, that thanks you for allowing me to share in the lives of your children” Our children, no longer play for him, but has touched our lives. Years after our children moved on, would think he would have forgotten them, they each receive birthday cards, it always makes them smile and say “coach remembered me!”, and at end of each card, for countless years, he ends the same way, “I ask only 3 things of you…(1) Do you best (2) Do what is right (3) show kind-ness everywhere.

He’s a person that has run the NYC Marathon, Boston Mara-thon, played college football, Olympic track team sprint qualifier. He has lived in several other countries. And just a few years ago, was named Coach of The Year by Parent Magazine. The stories that had been written in had me crying my eyes out! A person that grew up having family dinners in Italy & Brooklyn, with a famous NFL coach, and the best part, or surprising part, you would NEV-ER know any of this by just sitting around talking with him. He and his family have never been the “Hey, look at me” type people. On a private note, me & my husband, several years ago due to him being a alcoholic and us on the edge of divorce, our son more than our daughter, started suffering with issues. Anthony (Coach Roselli) was ALWAYS there for us & our children, and played a key role in keeping our children from making bad choices. When our daughter was injured in a car accident, Anthony was at hospital very first day. I know of couple of other families, unable to give details, but others he & his family helped, and whenever he helped he only ask “you can never try to repay me, and can’t tell anyone”. Over the years, Anthony (coach) suffered the loss of 15 yr old daughter & then had to battle cancer. Had to deal with wife head injury and then her near fatal blood clot, and during it all, continue to teach/coach many of our children, treating our youth with love & kindness. He has given more to our children than words could EVER explain. Each step of the way, ALWAYS conducted himself in a manner that we as parents are proud of and never gets enough credit for all he does. So, SO many are thrilled to have him now (last few years) coaching at Franklin High School. Anthony has helped us person-ally, and in business over the years. There would be no one better to have a story about than coach Anthony Roselli and his family.

Sincerely,Football Parents”

Coach Roselli says that some of his favorite quotes are “Harder you work.....The harder it is to surrender” (Vince Lombardi) which he says that he has had to said to his players probably 8000 times over the years. And “You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.” (John Wooden). Coach Roselli also told us “As a football player and track guy at UCLA ( a lifetime ago ) many times after workouts or training I would drift over and sit to watch Coach Wooden’s basketball prac-tices. I Always felt blessed to sit and watch. What most impressed me, yes a great coach,

but most of what I would hear always comments about character, integrity, how to conduct yourself as a person just as much as athlete.” Magnolia wishes to thank Coach Roselli for making such a positive difference in the community. If you know of somebody in Fieldstone Farms that you would like to nominate as a Magnolia Spotlight story, please let us know. We believe that being able to share stories of such great inspiration only serve to better a com-munity and we thank you. Please write to us at [email protected].

Little House Animal HospitalRed Cross Blood Drive

Off Hillsboro Road in Franklin’s Grassland area, nestled behind Sonic, sits a beautiful, large, and his-toric brick farmhouse, circa 1836. Behind its stately

columns and inviting rocking chairs is a fully operational veterinary hospital. Every day, Little House Animal Hospital staff provide skill-ful and loving care for each furry patient. For years, Little House has also sponsored blood drives for the Red Cross. This commitment reflects owner Dr. Kathy Kunkel’s strong sense about the importance of community outreach. “Besides daily efforts to serve the health and well-being of our animal patients,” she explains, “we are also very aware of the opportunity to actively serve in our community. With the Nashville area’s constant shortage of human blood, this is an extremely important and simple donation each of us can make.” The next blood drive at Little House will be in October, the exact date to be scheduled 45 days in advance by the Red Cross. Please visit www.littlehouseanimalhospital.com

or call Little House at 615-791-9148 for further informa-tion. “Those supporting our blood drives past and pres-ent are so very much appreciated,” says Dr. Kunkel. “Our hope is to get the word out for even more awareness and a full donor sheet for each drive.”

Naticakes

Sweet on Giving

Nestled among the businesses on Main Street in downtown Franklin, you’ll find the store front of Naticakes. We were thrilled to be a part of their silent auction on May 13th to

raise money for the Show Hope Organization to build a playground at Maria’s Big House of Hope, an or-phanage in China. The evening was filled with good music, great people and, of course, amazing cupcakes. Naticakes was opened by Nichole Sloane to honor her late niece “Nati” and as a way to generate aware-ness and funds for the Natalie Wynn Carter Foundation. “Naticakes” was Natalie’s nickname and when we asked Nicole about the cupcake business, she says that “I had the name of the business before I even knew what kind of business to open,

it seemed like cupcakes would be perfect!” The Natalie Wynn Carter Foundation was started in late 2007 to honor the life of “Nati” after her short 23 months of life here on earth. Parents, Bryan and Erika Carter, wanted to make some-thing good come out of an unexpected passing of their daughter and to help her spirit live on through the efforts of the foundation making the lives of children better. The foundation’s mission has two main focuses. The first, is to provide spaces for children to play through the building or renovation of playgrounds. This initia-tive was brought to life through the renovation of the Crossroads Christian Church playground and the project was completed in the fall of 2008 and dedicated on what would have been Nati’s 3rd birthday. The second purpose of the foundation is to come along side of other organizations that do great works in the lives of chil-dren. Over the past 2 years, they have worked with Crossroads Christian Church to provide Christmas gifts to children in Eastern Kentucky, they have done cooperative events with The Makenna Foundation (www.makennafoundation.org) to help with the

construction of the Makenna David Emergency Center at the UK Children’s Hospital. Maria’s Big House of Hope is dedicated to saving the lives of special needs orphans in China by providing surgeries and medical attention. This home will offer the highest level of care, enabling the children to thrive, and greatly increasing their chances of be-ing adopted. Located in Luoy-ang, which is in the Henan province and has a population of around 6 million people, this caring facility will be a beacon

of hope to the people of China and the world. Henan is one of the poorest provinces in all of China. The state-run Luoyang orphan-age takes care of nearly 700 children and ends up with most of the “special needs” orphans from all around Henan. Maria’s Big House of Hope is a 6 story building that will be equipped with everything needed to care for orphans with special needs. Every child in this facility will be 5 years old or younger, and these will represent some of the neediest orphans in China. Show Hope is a ministry that enables individuals and com-munities to change the world for orphans by not only addressing a child’s need for food, shelter, care, and spiritual nourishment, but by also addressing the root issue for an orphan: the lack of a family. Established in 2003 as Shaohannah’s Hope, Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife, Mary Beth initially founded Show Hope out of their desire to see more children find their way into forever families. Though many families they talked to were willing to adopt, the financial costs to adoption were simply too high. Originally named after the Chapman’s first adopted daughter, Shaohannah Hope Chapman, Shaohannah’s Hope has grown far beyond the initial vision of helping a few orphans find homes. In 2009, after changing the name to Show Hope, this organization has seen an amazing explosion in growth. From a six-story caring facility in China, equipped to provide surgeries and medical care to special needs orphans, to multiplying the effects of the adop-tion grant program by assisting churches in setting up their own adoption funds, Show Hope continues to expand its remarkable worldwide impact. So, the next time that your sweet tooth kicks in, make sure to stop by Naticakes for a delicious cupcake and feel good about it that you are directly giving to charity. And for you frozen yogurt fans, Nichole has just recently opened Naticreme on June 15th across from Centennial High School as another way to honor little Natalie. To learn more about Naticakes, please visit www.naticakes.com or join them on Facebook at Naticakes.

SENSORY GARDEN FOR THE BLIND

The Franklin Evening Lions Club is conducting a fundraiser for a Sensory Garden for the Blind which will be located near Grassland Elementary School. This garden is one of the first of its kind to be built in

the Western Hemisphere. However, for it to become a reality, funds are needed! The Franklin Evening Lions

Club is selling engraved 4x8 pavers for $100 apiece. The cost will cover the expense of the paver, engrav-ing, and the remainder will be split evenly to help fund the sensory garden and the Franklin Evening Lions Club’s charities. The first 100 donations will be printed on a plaque in English and in Braille. The plaque and the pavers will be featured near the center fountain which will be the focal point of the garden. You can order directly through the website at www.bricksrus.com/order/sensorygarden. For more information you can call Lions Pam or Peter Alderman at 615-435–3246. This would make an excellent and lasting way to honor family members, students, a member of your club or church or recognition for your business or organization.

This is the garden space in March of 2010, awaiting new construction. The center area

around a new fountain will be the location for the first 100 pavers purchased Pam Alderman, Fundraising Chairperson, Peter

Alderman, President of the Franklin Evening Lions Club,Rebekah Brockman, fundraising committee

member, and Lily, the club mascot.


Monthly MessageWatermelons, Hot Dogs,and Being Free Indeed!by Allison Allen

In my young life, there was one holiday I looked forward to more than any other. I know - I know -you’re thinking Christmas or perhaps the ubiquitous birthday, right? And while those days

are definitely close to the top, they could never edge out the Day sitting inalterably in first place: The 4th of July. Now, for a city kid, this was no ordinary “Declaration of Inde-pendence” gathering. This shin-dig was thrown with the kind of love (and food) in which salt-of-the earth country folks excel. I re-member it like it was yesterday: My family and I would travel from our current city to Pelion, a little blip of a farming community in the South Carolina sand-hills. I still recall waking at first-light after a near- sleepless night, asking when we could head over to the pool celebration at my aunt’s house. I was informed by my Grandma Crout that 7 am might be a tad too early to kick-off a party, plus she still had a lot of cooking to do. Bar-B-Q and cole slaw, fruit ambrosia, upside-down cakes, succotash – her kitchen looked like a veritable 1970s soul -food restaurant. “Can I help?” I asked, trying to mind my manners. “I think I’ve got it all under control, darlin’. You just rest a bit, ” always came my grandmother’s reply. While she prepared her culinary gifts, I knew that relatives and friends were doing the same thing in kitchens all over, anxious for a day of making memories. When we finally headed down that long, sandy road and arrived, I remember barely letting the car stop before hopping out. (Seat-belts weren’t exactly manda-tory then.) I dashed into the house to don a bathing suit, and ran at break-neck speed to the pool, where a gaggle of cousins and

friends were already half the way to a well-deserved sun-burn. Our 4th of July celebrations unfolded with ridiculous amounts of food, fellowship, and freedom. All of these indelible memories have me thinking about the parallels between the freedom that is ours in Christ and the 4th of July celebrations of my youth: It strikes me now that I never had to do any of the work to make the party successful; I just had to show up. When we’re in relationship with Christ Jesus, we receive the same extraordinary deal. We are all invited to attend a celebration for which we are required to bring nothing, except our little ol’ selves. And the gift we receive? It is the “glorious freedom of the children of God” (Romans 8:21), purchased by the Son of Man who declared our independence and bought our freedom long before we ever started celebrating it on the fourth of July. So, this year, as we ooh and aahh as fireworks light up the sky, remember that “if the Son has set you free, you are free indeed,” (John 8:36) and, say a little “thank You” for the extravagant party.

From her auspicious beginnings as a bovine in a kindergarten play, Allison Allen has enjoyed a twenty year career as an actor, writer, and coach. She had the thrill of performing for several years on Broadway’s “Grease”, and just recently spent three years performing one-woman pieces with Women of Faith. Currently, she is the Creative Arts Director at Grace Chapel (www.GraceChapel.net), and is writing a book slated to be published in 2011 on Windblown. The roles she enjoys most, however, are being wife to Jonathan and mom to six-year old Levi. (www.AllisonAllen.net).


WellnessNutrition and Fat LossWhy Nutrition is Key to Fitnessby Scott Fishkind

In my first article I emphasized how important the nutritional component is for fat loss. In this article I want to explore why it’s so important in more detail.

Alwyn Cosgrove (pronounced “Alan”), a highly respected Fat loss expert, author and gym owner, talks about the hierarchy of fat loss in an well known article he wrote. In it he lists, in order of importance:

Number 1. Correct NutritionNumber 2. See number one.

He then continues the list with various training approaches he feels are most successful for fat loss. We will speak more about those in future articles. Alwyn is also known for saying (paraphrased) “You can’t out train a bad diet” as well as “You can’t out-cardio McDonalds!” The reason I am making such a fuss out of all this is because a very common mistake I see people make is the notion that if they are exercising regularly they can eat whatever they want and as much as they want. This is one of the reasons you will often see people who spend hours at the gym working out without much progress to show for their efforts. While it’s true that they often have a faulty training strategy, that is but a small part of the over-all problem as far as fat loss goes.

Let me use another example to illustrate: If a person does a steady bout of exercise for 30 minutes at 80 percent of their work capacity (technically referred to as VO2 Max) they could possibly burn up to 480 calories depending on a variety of personal variables. While that sounds like a lot of calories to burn in only 30 min-utes, 80 percent of VO2 Max is a VERY intense bout of exercise. In fact it would take most people many months of dedicated train-ing before someone could even consider sustaining that level of exercise for a solid 30 minutes. Now let’s say that after that 30 minutes of killing themselves, they stop off at McDonalds for lunch and have one Big Mac (without any fries or soft drink), they would be consuming around 520 calories. Most people could probably gobble up a Big Mac in about 5 minutes (or less) without much difficulty. So in about 5 minutes they would have eaten more calories than they burned from 30 minutes of positively grueling exercise! Of course it’s true that if they were going to eat that Big Mac anyway, burning those 480 calories is better than if they didn’t exercise. Most likely though, the Big Mac would just be one piece of their caloric puzzle in a day filled with foods that are likely to put them in a caloric surplus. Caloric surplus means stored body fat. Stored body fat is definitely not what most people want. So it’s important to support your exercise program with a sound approach to eating. Next article we’ll talk some more about general guidelines regarding nutrition.


Restaurant Review

Puckett’s can be easiest described by the words that are synonymous with it like “Warm”, “Home”, “Amazing” and “Full”. I chose the word “Full” because that is the one that

always gets me. That leaving the restau-rant with one hand firmly on the belly and a groan of approval type of full. But, Puckett’s doesn’t stop at their amazing food. Andy and Jan Marshall are two of the nicest people

you will ever meet. Along with their kids Claire, Emily and Clifford, the Puckett’s staff is comprised of some great folks who make your dining experience just what it should be, a relaxed and fun environment to comfortably enjoy your breakfast, lunch or dinner. “I learned how to make ribs when I was growing up in Mem-phis. We use our own special rub. Cooking teams have even won

competitions with our ribs.” says Andy. Along with the amazing ribs and insanely tempt-ing desserts, you will find the finest cheeseburger this side of the Mis-sissippi. You can just never go wrong with it. I would also heavily recommend the smoked sausage & cheese. It’s Andy’s favorite

dish that hits the spot every time. You will soon have a chance to get your Puckett’s fix when you are up in downtown Nashville. Puckett’s has announced the Grand Opening of Puckett’s Nashville scheduled for the Fall of 2010. The new Puckett’s will be on the corner of 5th Street and Church Street. We are sure that what has become a Nashville land-mark! Make sure to stop by and give them a little love from back home.

Happy Birthday America During the American Revolution, the legal separation of the American colonies from Great Britain occurred on July 2, 1776, when the Second Continental Congress voted to approve a resolution of independence that had been proposed in June by Richard Henry Lee of Virginia. After voting for independence, Congress turned its attention to the Declaration of Independence, a statement explaining this decision, which had been prepared by a Committee of Five, with Thomas Jefferson as its principal author. Congress debated and revised the Declaration, finally ap-proving it on July 4. A day earlier, John Adams had written to his wife Abigail:

“The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solem-nized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns,

bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.”

Adams’ prediction was off by two days. From the outset, Americans celebrated independence on July 4, the date shown on the much-publicized Declaration of Independence, rather than on July 2, the date the resolution of independence was approved in a closed session of Congress. One of the most enduring myths about Independence Day is that Congress signed the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.The myth had become so firmly established that, decades after the event and nearing the end of their lives, even the elderly

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams had come to believe that they and the other delegates had signed the Declaration on the fourth. Most delegates actually signed the Declaration on August 2, 1776. In a remarkable series of coincidences, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two founding fathers of the United States and the only two men who signed the Declaration of Independence to become president, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the United States’ 50th anniversary.In 1777, thirteen gunshots were fired, once at morning and again as evening fell, on July 4 in Bristol, Rhode Island. Philadelphia celebrated the first anniversary in a manner a modern American would find quite familiar: an official dinner for the Continental Con-gress, toasts, 13-gun salutes, speeches, prayers, music, parades, troop reviews, and fireworks. Ships were decked with red, white, and blue bunting.In 1778, General George Washington marked July 4 with a dou-ble ration of rum for his soldiers and an artillery salute. Across the Atlantic Ocean, ambassadors John Adams and Benjamin Franklin held a dinner for their fellow Americans in Paris, France.In 1779, July 4 fell on a Sunday. The holiday was celebrated on Monday, July 5.In 1781, the Massachusetts General Court became the first state legislature to recognize July 4 as a state celebration.In 1791, the first recorded use of the name “Independence Day” occurred.In 1820, the first Fourth of July celebration was held in Eastport, Maine.In 1938, Congress made Independence Day to a paid holiday.


Gettin’ Crafty

In this section, I will show you how to

make a simple place setting decoration for a table of 4 for your 4th of July party. You will need: 4 sprigs with Red, White and Blue beads; 2 large Wild-flower sprigs or 8 small ones; 1 spool of themed

ribbon (about 3 yards); scissors; wire cutters *I used all artificial flowers so they hold up in the summer sun*

Step 1: Separate all your flowers and sprigs to begin. Choose a well lit, flat work space that you can get dirty. A kitchen table or counter works well.

Step 2: Divide the flowers and bead springs into 4 sections. You will need to trim the wildflower stems into 4 pieces if they are large. Trim the stems so they all are close to the same length.

Step 3: Put together 1 sprig of beads, 1 stem of each wild flower.

Step 4: Tie with your Red, White and Blue themed ribbon.

Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to complete the other 3 place setting decorations.Congratulations! You now have an easy, quick decoration for your table!

4 for the 4thby Alison Carré

Ali’s TipAlthough we are used to seeing Red, White and Blue for the 4th, don’t be afraid to mix in some color. Any color of flower will look great and the Red, White and Blue can be used as an accent.


Business Buzz

MARC of Franklin is an innovative outpatient addiction treatment facility that opened last spring in the Cool Springs mall area. Partners Darrell Arnett, MD, ABAM;

June McHenry, LCSW; and Kevin Marcy, EMT-IV bring not only a combined 53 years experience of working with chemically depen-dent patients, but add diverse backgrounds…designed to meet all aspects of a patient’s needs…as they work with the patient in their journey of recovery.

Magnolia: HOW DID THE THREE OF YOU MEET AND HOW DID THE IDEA FOR THE CLINIC ORIGINATE?

June McHenry: I first met Kevin when he was working as a firefighter/EMT in Nashville (our combined passion for working with firefighters and policemen led us to later develop the 119 Frontline non-profit organization). I knew Dr. Arnett because we had worked together on patient care. Though Dr. Arnett then still had a full-time internal medicine practice, he had already begun his work as an addic-tion specialist. I was seeing patients with addictions and Kevin dealt with the painful and sad results of addiction every day in his work as an EMT. One day we were together in the Church Street offices when conversation about the recovery rate for opiate addicts was discussed. From that conversation, we discovered that we all had the same concern…the concern that opiate addicts have the lowest rate of recovery. Together we saw the need and together we agreed on the program that our combined experiences could create to help an addict make a full and well-rounded recovery.

Magnolia: MARC HAS A VARIED PATIENT DEMOGRAPHIC. PLEASE EXPLAIN:

Kevin Marcy: I’m asked that question all the time and bottom line…addiction crosses all socio-economic lines. Many people have the stereotypic view of what an addict looks like and how they behave, but actually it could be the person sitting next to you at the soccer game, or the person down the hall from you at work. Not only is narcotic addiction the result of recreational use, but it’s also the result of the medical needs of people with chronic pain. This could be ANYONE. So many people live with this addiction, because they feel if they admit addiction, they could lose their job, their families, their lives. Ironically, they will ultimately lose those things if they DON’T address their problems. That’s one of the best things we offer: privacy, anonymity, no loss of time away from work or family.

Magnolia: DO YOU TREAT OTHER ADDICTIONS?

Dr. Arnett: Yes, we also treat alcohol addiction.

Magnolia: CAN YOU GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF MARC

Dr. Arnett: At MARC of Franklin, we provide a quiet, safe place for people to bring their problems. We separate ourselves from other centers by combining medical treatment with therapy in an outpatient setting. By the time we see the patient, a substance abuser/addict is usually facing serious consequences for their decisions. We provide medical evaluations and treatment for their medical condition. Detox can usually be provided as an outpa-tient, saving thousands of dollars. The patient is awakened to the reality that abuse/addiction is not a moral decision, but rather a medical condition that has solutions. Most patients are relieved to know that addiction is not their fault. People do not wake up one day and decide to destroy their life and the relationships around

them. By combining medical support with individual and group therapy, the person who is lost can be found. Mental Health issues are identified and treated. They dis-cover there are solutions for their problems. Life becomes hopeful for the first time. Therapy is ultimately the treatment for ad-diction. We offer group therapy for early recovery, advanced recovery, men’s and women’s groups, and an alumni group to give the necessary tools to heal the body, mind, and spirit.

Magnolia: WHAT DISTINGUISHES MARC FROM OTHER ADDICTION CLINICS?

Kevin Marcy: It’s a more viable option for many people because it’s less expensive, you’re not forced to leave your family for a month, you won’t lose your income from being absent from work…or worse yet, lose your job due to absence. A lot of people who are addicted are already in dire straits financially, so compare a few hundred

dollars a month to $13,000 - $18,000 a month in in-patient rehab. Our detox is safe with little or no withdrawal.

Magnolia: A PATIENT MUST ACTUALLY BE ACCEPTED INTO YOUR PROGRAM. WHAT ARE THE STEPS?

June McHenry: Entering into the program of MARC is easy. A phone call is all it takes. This is the most difficult step for most people.

Magnolia: MARC WILL MARK ONE YEAR OF OPERATION THIS SPRING. WHAT ARE THE SUCCESS STORIES?

June McHenry: Very simple…a low relapse rate…and patients highly recommending us to other people in need.
