Hello Resident,
There have not been a lot of council meetings or hearings this week. I have been working on a couple of upcoming council concerns and a bunch of business and family projects. You may have seen one of the council issues Monday on channel 4 news. I am drafting a resolution to request that MNPS administrators serve a reasonable number of days as classroom substitutes in our schools. This will help with the severe sub shortage and provide these administrators with firsthand experience in what our teachers are experiencing day to day, which should help them be more affective overall. I have shared the plan with numerous teachers with extremely positive and consistently enthusiastic responses. It will be filed for the second meeting in May.
Today, May 1, will have budget hearings regarding the Beer Board, Sheriff Dept., Health Dept., Hospitals, Social Services beginning at 4:00 and running until approx. 6:00pm. There is a school town hall meeting for parents of students with disabilities at 5:15pm at the School Board meeting room on Bransford Ave. Also, there will be a SPECIAL meeting to discuss proposed cuts in the Fire Dept. budget beginning at 2:00pm. I believe that every effort will be made to prevent cuts to this important service to our community. I will work with other council members to find a way to fund the needs of the Fire Dept.
In this issue I've included info about the National Day of Prayer and the Nashville Christian Business Network (NCBN) meeting. I encourage you to pray for our country, state, city and community and those elected to serve us at all levels. (I'd also recommend you pray for those that may be in upcoming elections.) If your able, I hope you will attend NCBN meeting and hear one of our community service providers, Kenny Mauck of LifeCare Family Services. See www.lifecarefamily.org for more information on the services.
You will find other news about our schools and police activity reports which include our very own, South Precinct receiving the "Precinct of the Year" award. Hip, hip, hooray and congrats! Lots of other items of interest are in there. At the very end, are the yard sale listings, which are posted for recipients of the newsletter.

Thursday, May 1st is designated as National Day of Prayer.
Mayor Dean will be at an event at the Sommet Center beginning at 11:30. I plan to attend this event and would welcome any of you to join me.
Let us pause to reflect and pray for those whom God brings to mind. Our family, friends, military, government leaders are just a few to get us started.
May each of you and yours be blessed by our God.
What is the National Day of Prayer?
The National Day of Prayer was established as an annual event in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman. The observance of the National Day of Prayer is founded on the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion and can be celebrated by all Americans.
NASHVILLE AWARDED FEDERAL GRANT TO IMPROVE
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR CHILDREN
Metro Nashville Public Schools to create partnerships with local community organizations
to develop community-wide mental health prevention strategies
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Mayor Karl Dean’s office and Alignment Nashville announced today a coalition, made up of Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS), Alignment, and local community organizations, has been awarded a $350,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education to improve mental health services for students in Nashville.
“This grant will enable Metro Nashville Public Schools to develop important partnerships with non-profit organizations in the community to improve access to school- and community-based prevention and mental health services,” Mayor Dean said.
“High risk behaviors such as delinquency, substance abuse, and truancy, ultimately contribute to students dropping out of school and are often related to undetected and untreated mental health issues. Nashville’s children and families will benefit from engaging the entire community in our efforts to provide high-quality mental health services for all students.”
The 18-month grant supports staff to coordinate the project at MNPS, as well as professional development for MNPS teachers. Primary partners include: MNPS, Mayor’s Office, Metro Nashville/Davidson County Juvenile Court, Vanderbilt Mental Health Center, STARS Nashville, and Centerstone.
The Alignment Nashville Behavioral Health Committee, which includes representatives from MNPS and local mental health agencies and providers, secured the grant and will serve as the project’s advisory committee.
“The goal of Alignment Nashville is to bring Nashville’s community organizations and resources together with Metro Schools to further the success of our public schools and our community as a whole,” said Carol Nixon, Chair of the Behavioral Health Committee. “This grant provides a wonderful opportunity to highlight the importance of social emotional health to students’ overall success, and it sets the stage for Nashville to apply for larger federal grants in the future.”
“We recognize the importance of effective community engagement, and we are grateful for this opportunity to design community-wide strategies to benefit our students,” said Chris Henson, Interim Director of Schools. “Social and emotional issues plague too many of our students, and it is our hope that we can provide links to the services that these students need through this project.”
Alignment Nashville, which is housed in Mayor’s Office, works to align community organizations to positively impact the Nashville community by helping its youth and public schools succeed.

State hires at center of Metro school changes
Coming to Metro high school classrooms this fall will be curriculum that is more in line with state standards than what has been taught in the past. The change is coming about through what officials call a “partnership” between the leaders of Nashville public schools and two state-hired reform veterans.
When Nashville’s Board of Education officially decided to stick with current Acting Director Chris Henson and call off its search for a different interim, the board encouraged Henson to bring in additional leadership assistance if he so chose. At the time, the district was gearing up for budget hearings with Mayor Karl Dean and Metro Council, and Henson was — as he continues to do now — working both as acting director as well as district financial chief.
Board members, in public discussion, reasoned that Henson might need some assistance. They encouraged him to look, in particular, at the district’s existing leadership in the area of curriculum. Henson told The City Paper after the board’s decision that he planned to discuss his decision with the state DOE.

South Police Precinct Activity and News
Good job by the South Precinct Crime Suppression Unit!!
An accused South Nashville cocaine dealer who was keenly interested in getting his hands on a fully automatic machine gun now sits in the Metro Jail thanks to a meticulous six-week investigation by the South Precinct’s Crime Suppression Unit.
During early March, detectives learned that Otis Vernell Maclin, Jr., 19, was likely selling crack cocaine in the South Nashville area and was looking for someone who could broker a deal on firearms. Officers subsequently arranged for two crack purchases from Maclin. An undercover detective was also introduced to Maclin as a gun and low-level cocaine dealer. Earlier this month, the undercover detective made four cocaine buys from Maclin, all within 1,000 feet of Cole Elementary School, and discussed weapons transactions. During the discussions, it became apparent that Maclin wanted a fully automatic machine gun.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives was contacted and two agents from the Nashville field office joined the investigation.
A final deal was arranged for Monday where Maclin would receive a fully automatic machine gun (provided by the ATF) in exchange for crack cocaine. At 7:30 p.m. Monday, Maclin delivered the cocaine to the undercover detective, took possession of the machine gun, and was immediately arrested. Maclin had given the officer 6.5 grams of crack. An additional four grams were found in his vehicle.
A search of Maclin’s 1253 2nd Avenue South home late Monday pursuant to a search warrant resulted in the seizure of two pistols, a sawed-off shotgun, and items used in the manufacture of crack cocaine. The residence is directly across the street from a day care center.
“Crack cocaine and a machine gun spell significant danger for any community,” Chief Ronal Serpas said. “The resolve and dedication of the South Precinct’s Crime Suppression Unit, along with that of our ATF partners, resulted in a successful conclusion of this case without anyone being hurt.”
Maclin is charged with a number of offenses, including unlawful possession of a machine gun, unlawful possession of a sawed-off shotgun, manufacturing and delivering crack cocaine, selling crack cocaine, possessing crack for resale, and driving on a suspended license. He is being held in lieu of $362,000 bond.
Congratulations Are in Order.
South Precinct has been awarded Precinct of the Year for 2007. The award is a great tribute to Commander Lankford and the personnel at South. Please join us to celebrate this event on Thursday May 29th, 2008 at Lake Providence Missionary Baptist Church located at 5891 Nolensville Pike (about 1 mile past OHB going outbound on your right).

* Aggravated Assault *
On 4/27/08 at aprrox 08:40 am a possible kidnapping/rape was reported to be occurring on Bell Rd. A description was aired that a male black was seen beating a female white and then appeared to be forcing her into a late model white Nissan Maxima with a rear spoiler, tinted windows. Sgt. David Liles aired that he saw the tape and verified what was called in and a Be On Lookout was aired for the vehicle. At around 09:05 am, Sgt. Summerlin was at a 4 way stop at the intersection of Smith Springs Rd and Anderson Ln. when he observed a possible suspect vehicle matching the description aired approaching the stop sign to his right on Anderson Ln. The vehicle crossed Smith Springs Rd on Anderson Ln in front of him and he observed 2 subjects in the vehicle and watched as it turned into the parking lot of a gas station at this intersection. Sgt. Summerlin turned to check out the vehicle and as he was turning into the lot behind this car it sped out of the lot onto Smith Springs Rd heading back towards Bell Rd. Sgt. Summerlin got behind the vehicle. Since the vehicle matched the description, including a partial tag, he activated his emergency equipment to stop the suspect vehicle. When he did this the car made an abrupt turn into the parking lot of a church at 2787 Smith Spring Rd. As the car was stopping and he was broadcasting that he was stopping the possible suspect vehicle, he observed a male black suspect wearing a red shirt, blue jeans and his hair in "corn rows" jump from the passenger side of the suspect vehicle and flee to the back of this church on foot. Sgt. Summerlin broadcast the suspect description and direction of flight and asked for assistance. He stayed with the female white driver, whom he assumed to be the victim, who had also gotten out the car and came towards him. She was visibly shaking and crying and stated that the suspect had attacked her. She had multiple scratches on her arms and her hair was in disarray. The victim verified that she had been struck several times and dragged to her car by the suspect at the Bell Rd location. She went on to state that the suspect had earlier kicked in her front door on Hickory Trace Dr., putting her in fear for her safety and forced her to leave with him in her car. Based on the information available, the witness accounts, and a tape of the incident on Bell Rd it was determined that we had probable cause to believe that this was a Kidnapping, Burglary and Domestic Assault. K-9 and Aviation were called to the area to search for the suspect. A perimeter was set up on the area. At approx 10:14 am the K-9 unit apprehended the suspect hiding under a shed on Lake Terrace Dr. Domestic Violence was called to the scene to assist in the prosecution for the Kidnapping and Assault. I.D. was called to get pictures of the injuries of the victim and collect any evidence.
