News and Comments

Dear Resident,
There is plenty of blame to go around in Washington and on Wall Street for our current National financial fiasco. I thought about attempting to go over all the many curves in the road that has lead us here. I'll simply say it started as early as President Carter and involves numerous actions, reactions and downright bad choices made by numerous government and corporate officials. Now, we and our children may well be left with the bill for their choices. I have paid enough for my own mistakes and poor choices through the years. I've never been bailed out of my mistakes by government. And, I'd rather not pay for someone else's at the level we are being forced to pay in the current plan. That said, It appears something must be done to correct some of the errors previously made.

I think the best solution as well as recommendations for action by citizens can be found at
www.daveramsey.com, where you can see a one page solution. Yes, only one page and it will not cost taxpayers seven hundred thousand million dollars (also known as $700 billion or $700,000,000,000.00). (Please forgive the sarcasm.) If you think Dave's solution is appropriate, as I do, please send it to your US House Representative TODAY, as they are likely going to vote on something Friday. In the words of Forrest Gump, "That's all I've got to say about that." At least for now.

I want to thank Hattie Palin, owner of H&T's Homecooking, for holding a voter registration drive right here in our district at the restaurant located at 2371 Murfreesboro Road on Tuesday of this week. The food was great, company pleasant and over 20 people stopped by to register. If you know of anyone that has moved into the community from another state or county or just has never registered to vote, Monday, October 6 is the last day to register. You can call me or go to www.nashville.gov/vote/ to get a registration form. Please note, early voting begins on Oct. 15 and runs 'till Oct. 30.

I wish you all the best and welcome the new recipients of the newsletter.

Honored to serve,
Duane Dominy
District 28 Councilman

Subject: Accused Attempted Murderer & Parolee Finis Lewis Arrested by Gang Unit

October 1, 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Gang Unit detectives this afternoon arrested dangerous parolee, gang member and fugitive Finis Lewis, who was hiding out in the J.C. Napier public housing development.
Neighborhood residents actually thanked police and cheered as Lewis was led away.
Lewis, 30, is being charged with attempted murder for opening fire with a rifle on Corey Lanier in the 2400 block of 25th Avenue North on August 15th. Lanier, 30, was shot multiple times, at least once after he fell to the ground.
A search of the J.C. Napier apartment where Lewis was staying resulted in the discovery of an assault-type rifle hidden in a washing machine, a semi-automatic pistol hidden in a child’s room, several pills, money, scales, and ammunition.
Lewis remains under investigation for other violent crimes in Nashville over the past few months.
Lewis registered with the Metropolitan Police Department as an ex-convict in February following his parole from the state prison system. He was sentenced to 14 years in February 2000 for robbery convictions.

*A photograph of Lewis accompanies this media release on the Internet.

9-1-1 CALL TAKERS ASSIST WITH DELIVERY OF FOUR BABIES

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – During the month of September, Metro Emergency Communications Center call takers provided child birth assistance to four callers who couldn’t make it to the hospital in time with an expectant mother. A summary of the calls is detailed below:

• On September 6, ECC call-taker Jackie Vincent received a call from a woman requesting an ambulance for her 16 year-old niece who was having a baby “right now.” Jackie heard the baby crying in the background and proceeded with instructions to clean the baby’s nose and mouth, and to wrap the baby to keep her warm. She instructed the caller to tie the umbilical cord with a shoelace and stay close until the fire department arrived.
When Medic 19 arrived, they transported a healthy baby girl and her mother to Vanderbilt Medical Center and reported everyone was doing well.

• On September 24, call taker Freda Harris received a call from frantic male reporting “she had a baby and it’s on the floor!” The baby could be heard crying in the background. Freda quickly gave him instructions to clean the baby’s mouth and nose, and to wrap the infant to keep him warm. She then instructed the caller, who was the baby’s father, to tie the umbilical cord with a string or a shoelace. The father was then instructed to watch the mother and baby until the responders arrived. When Medic 4 arrived, they found a healthy baby boy and mother. Both were transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center.

Later that same day, call taker Thom Brown received a call from the Matthew Walker Clinic reporting that they had a Spanish speaking female at the facility in labor. The caller reported that the mother was on the way to the hospital and got lost. Thom assisted the caller by instructing them on how to deliver the baby and shortly after the call was received, a baby boy was born. Thom continued the instructions until the responders arrived. Medic 10 transported mother and baby to Metro General ER reporting both were doing well.

• On September 27, call taker trainee Jeff Bolin received a call from a very calm male requesting an ambulance for his wife who just had a baby. The father advised that the baby was completely out and crying could be heard in the back ground. Jeff gave the instructions to clean the baby’s mouth and nose, wrap him up to keep warm and tie the umbilical cord. The caller was instructed to watch the mother and baby closely until responders arrived. When the Medic 10 arrived, they found a healthy baby boy and mother. Both were transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center.
To congratulate these employees, each has been awarded a blue or pink baby pins for their service.
