This is the fifth episode in a new season of our Main Street NC series. We're visiting communities across the state to hear from local leaders about the positives going on in their towns, and the challenges they face.Midway is one of North Carolina's newer towns formed to avoid becoming part of a neighboring city. The town in Davidson County that borders Winston-Salem boasts one of the lowest property tax rates in the state, while using its planning and zoning powers to limit suburban sprawl. That strategy has so far avoided the development controversies that impacted the similar town of Summerfield, but Midway offers a case study in how to form a town to cautiously manage growth. WUNC spoke with Mayor John Byrum about how the town was created in 2006 and what's happened there since.

This case is shocking. Shocking in many ways and I can't believe it's not talked about.The only place I've seen this is on Southern Gothic from our friend Brandon. When he first saw a small blurb about it in a book, he didn't even think it was true so he asked Lauretta to do some research. Sure enough, it is 100% true. As sensational as it was and is, I can't believe it's been forgotten. So after you listen, make sure you catch the Southern Gothic episode "The Curious Case of Knox Martin."In late March of 1879, in Davidson County, Tennessee, a wagon carrying a prisoner by the name of Knox Martin was headed to the gallows. John Kirk and Sons were busy building the scaffold that would host the hanging later that afternoon.Mothers pulled their children out of school so that they could take them to the execution. Nearly 10,000 people were making their way to the location nestled between two ridges; some had even camped out overnight to guarantee the best view. For years to come, some folks in attendance at this execution would have an unbelievable story to tell. It appears that in the days leading up to his date with the gallows, Knox Martin was approached by two doctors from the nearby Vanderbilt University, who, having great interest in galvanism, and who, having read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, wondered if Knox Martin would allow them to use his dead body for an unusual and ethically questionable experiment. Knox Martin had agreed.Join Jen and Cam as they discuss "The Second Death of the Bells Bend Killer: Nashville's Frankenstein."A huge thank you to Sleep Creme for sponsoring this episode.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with, Jon Sexton. This is the first interview that I've recorded with a guest that wasn't Sandy or Alex since late May of this year.  I have to tell you – Alaska and Canada were incredible, but it sure is good to be back sharing the stories of the many little people in many little places that are doing all of those many little things that make the whole world change! Jon and I talk about his entrepreneurial journey.  It started on the tennis and basketball courts and other athletic venues of Visalia, California and has now landed him as the host of the TV show, Selling Nashville.  Jon's journey, like so many other entrepreneurs took a few twists and turns along the way.  He originally relocated to Nashville to pursue a career in music.  In order to not fall into the “starving artist” category, he used some of the leadership skills and life lessons that he learned from sports to get into the health club and gym industry.  What initially started as a way to simply help make ends meet while he pursued his music career, eventually turned into another passion and eventually ownership of his own health club and gym business.  While running his business, he started investing in real estate, which eventually led to him securing his real estate license and heading up his own team of agents. Now, in the realm of Greater Nashville's real estate market, Jon stands as a distinguished figure, acclaimed for his exemplary achievements and unwavering commitment to excellence. As mentioned previously, Jon is the host for the television show, Selling Nashville, which can be seen on HGTV, Apple TV, Travel Channel and more. Renowned as an award-winning Realtor, Jon has garnered accolades such as the title of "Best Real Estate Agent" in Williamson County and the distinction of being named a "Top Real Estate Agent" by both the Nashville Scene and his team, NASHVILLE HOME, which shares the recognition of "Best Real Estate Team" in Williamson County. With an impressive national ranking of #55 and a prominent position as #1 in Tennessee, Jon holds the coveted title of Top Agent in Davidson County, Nashville Metro, and Williamson County, underscored by his steadfast dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction. Elevating his status further, Jon is an exclusive member of REALM, a prestigious global organization comprised solely of the top 1% of luxury agents worldwide, a testament to his unparalleled expertise and distinguished service. Endorsed by financial guru Dave Ramsey as a Trusted Local Provider, Jon's reputation for integrity and excellence is further solidified. In Jon's own words, "It is an honor to be one of the select few Realtors trusted by Dave Ramsey and Ramsey Solutions. I am excited to continue to guide and serve those in need in being assisted and educated in the home buying and selling process." Beyond his remarkable achievements in real estate, Jon has also established himself as one of Nashville's foremost entrepreneurs over the past decade. Recognized as a standout figure in the entrepreneurial landscape, Jon was bestowed with the title of "Top 50 Entrepreneurs in Tennessee" by Business Leader's magazine and was identified as one of the "Top 10 Entrepreneurs to Look Out For" by Disruptors Magazine. Jon's attitude revolves around the belief that success is not merely measured by accomplishments but by the satisfaction and results of his clients. He attributes his greatest strength to having "the heart of a teacher" and a genuine concern for the well-being of those he serves, ensuring that their needs and desires are met with utmost dedication and care.

Born into slavery in Davidson County, Tennessee to an enslaved mother and her white owner, Jermain Wesley Loguen would eventually be moved to Maury County, Tennessee before he finally made his escape from slavery to the North.

"I came to realize that I would never have the chance to work in an administration with somebody that I [am] so closely aligned with on issues. It makes it really easy to go to work.” – Bob Mendes, speaking of his working relationship with Mayor O'Connell Climbing the Charts was excited to sit down with Bob Mendes, Chief Development Officer for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, to learn about the future of Nashville's East Bank, the series of events and negotiations that paved the way for a new, $2.1+ billion dollar Titans stadium, as well as other challenges and opportunities Music City's new development director sees in his crystal ball.     And while the East Bank is one of the largest projects ever undertaken by a city, Bob wants Nashvillians to know that though he will dedicate time to the East Bank project, his focus is on development in and for Nashville as a whole. 

This week we'll talk to Brittnie Battle, a resident of Davidson County, Tennessee who has an enormous heart for animals in need. She and her partner have two rescue dogs of their own, and they have opened their home to countless fosters over the last few years, which she says has shaped her as a person.Brittnie also serves as the Director of Outreach for Charlie's Angels Saving Animals (CASA) Transport. This innovative organization takes animals from over-crowded Tennessee shelters and transports them to rescues in northern states without a pet overpopulation. “Just changing their zip code can give them a chance at life.” She says.CASA is a small organization with a big mission; they have transported over seven thousand animals out of Tennessee. Brittnie has a variety of responsibilities. She primarily is the “boots on the ground”, forming partnerships with local animal shelters and choosing individual animals for transport. She also occasionally drives them north herself, and of course often has a foster or two at home. Brittnie stresses that while she lives and breathes this cause, everyone can do something to help animals. There are opportunities for everyone's lifestyle; small actions matter, too.   "It's so important to realize that it's not about just us in life,” Brittnie says. “There are other things that depend on us…It's sort of our duty to make sure that they're taken care of.”Find out more about Casa Transport: https://www.casatransport.org/This podcast is brought to you by Doing Good, a 501c3 nonprofit. www.doinggood.tv  Read Brittnie's blog post at www.doinggood.tv/blog.

Host Grace Fuisz talks to Nashville Community Review Board chair Alisha Haddock about the recent allegations by a former Metro Nashville police lieutenant that high ranking MNPD officials worked with Republican state lawmakers to pass a 2023 law abolishing our Community Oversight board — an institution created by Davidson County voters in 2018 to hold the police accountable for violence and misconduct.  On June 12, the NAACP and a coalition of other advocates joined the Community Review Board at a press conference to present a list of demands and call for an investigation of MNPD and Metro Legal's role in hindering investigations. Meanwhile, the CRB's attempt to create a new memorandum of understanding — being negotiated with the same officers accused of interfering with the COB — has stalled, which renders the board powerless to review their backlog of more than 50 complaints. It's a complicated situation with implications for every resident (and tourist!) in Nashville, and we've got the explainer you need to catch up on this crisis of public safety.

“What people don't understand about Juvenile Court is that literally two-thirds of the cases that we deal with are about the parents.”  –Judge Calloway Judge Sheila Calloway, Davidson County's Juvenile Court Judge, and Lonnell Matthews, Davidson County's Juvenile Court Clerk, are two of Nashville's most accomplished individuals. They are an entertaining pair, but are serious about bettering the lives of “our kids.” They discuss misconceptions about the work of the Juvenile Court, the Nashville Youth Campus for Empowerment (coming in 2027), and recent legislation that will dramatically impact the juvenile justice system.

Julieanna explains the mission of CASA and how YOU can make a difference in the lives of all of our children who are in desperate need of an advocate.

Tim Forbes scored a goal at his college lacrosse game and looked up to see who was cheering loudly--Tim will never forget spotting his friend, Santis, as well as a young, homeless man they had befriended, Thomas. Tim learned "radical empathy" through his encounters with Thomas. Tim was touched by Thomas' humanity and saw Christ residing in him--Thomas also ministered to Tim. Through this experience in his young adulthood, coupled with many years of ministry and a career in Catholic school administration, God has taught Tim to practice empathy with those he serves, as well as those he disagrees or struggles with.  Tim senses God's call to hope and serve in all circumstances--he is now working at the Judge Dinkins Educational Center, which "provides juvenile vocational training in Davidson County for adolescents who might be at risk or engaged with the juvenile or criminal justice system. The Center's programs are supported by social and emotional learning and focused on sustainable, hands-on education for long-term employment." Learn more at jdecnash.org.

Melissa “Missy” HamiltonMissy Hamilton struggled with addiction. She found herself a married mom of two boys with an addiction. Eventually her husband, Jack, kicked her out of the house and she lost custody of her sons, Patrick and Dalton. In 2008 she was at a crossroad, she either was going to rehab or continue on the dark road of addiction. She was able to complete rehabilitation, move back in with Jack and her sons and remained sober since 2008. She then dedicated her life to helping others with addiction. She got her bachelors degree in psychology and her masters degree in clinical health studies. Missy worked as a therapist and eventually became the assistant director at Crossroads Counseling, which provides court-appointed domestic violence and alcohol and drug therapy to people in Davidson County. On February 4th, 2019 after a normal day at work Missy (50) was finishing up a group therapy session. As she was cleaning up, putting away chairs and packing up for the night a man walked in the door. Police say Brian Dewayne Conley (32) killed her inside the Madison business in a shopping plaza at 521 Gallatin Pike South. She was raped and stabbed 73 times. Brian was caught entering the office at 7:30 pm and exiting less than a half hour later. The day after the Missy Hamilton murder Brian called out of work. The following day, co-workers witnessed Brian with cuts on his hands and a pink bandage around his pinky. He said he cut his hand playing with his knife. Police in West Tennessee had been investigating whether Conley was linked to the stabbing of another woman outside a mental health facility in Millington earlier this year. On Oct. 7, the Millington Police Department reported that a woman who worked at Professional Care Services, a mental health facility in the 5200 block of Navy Road, was also stabbed 20 times.The victim is an employee of the clinic and was arriving for work when the attack occurred. Millington Police Chief Mark Dunbar said "The motive for the attack is unknown; however, our investigation at this point leads us to believe it may be a mental consumer." He also said the circumstances in the stabbing in Millington and the homicide in Madison were very similar, and the fact that Conley is from the Memphis/Shelby County area and has a violent criminal history played a role in their department potentially linking Conley to the case.Police were never able to directly link the murder of Missy to the stabbed victim, but knowing now that he was responsibly for missy's death in February doesn't make it unreasonable to believe he could have done the stabbing in October. Police arrested him in December of 2019, the following year he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parol. In an effort to carry on that legacy and continue Missy's work and ministry, Christ Life Community Church has created a scholarship fund to help people in need of professional counseling for addiction, grief, family dysfunction, and mental illness. https://christlifesmyrna.com/missy-hamilton-memorial-fund/#macibookout #podcastaddict #truecrime #crime #podcast #truecrimepodcast #chattanooga #tennessee #nataliegard #expiredpodcast Support the show

In an unsettling development, Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake disclosed that his "estranged son" is believed to have shot two police officers at a Dollar General store in La Vergne on Saturday afternoon. Chief Drake released the following statement regarding the incident: "I am both shocked and deeply saddened to learn that my estranged son, with whom I have had very limited contact over many years, is the suspected perpetrator in the shooting of two La Vergne police officers this afternoon. My thoughts and prayers are with the two officers, who I understand are in stable condition at Vanderbilt. "Despite my best efforts and guidance during his early and teenage years, my son, John Drake Jr., who is now 38 years old, unfortunately, turned to a life of criminal activity and has a prior felony conviction. He has been absent from my life for an extended period. Now, he must be located and held responsible for his actions today. I urge anyone who sees him or possesses information about his whereabouts to promptly contact law enforcement." According to records from the Criminal Court Clerk of Davidson County, Drake Jr. has an extensive history of criminal offenses dating back to 2005.

This episode originally aired on Oct. 20, 2022. It's fall, and that means it's a great time to forage and preserve foods. As trees and plants prepare for winter themselves, there are nuts, berries and roots abound for foraging — as long as you do it responsibly. Because it's harvest time, it's also the perfect time to preserve foods to help get through the winter — as long as you do it safely. So, what's out there to forage? How can we keep our harvest usable for the coming months? We talk with local foragers about what you can find to eat out in the wild, and with some avid canners about how to make your autumn bounty last beyond the season. And, it's the return of @ Us! Host Khalil Ekulona chats with producer Elizabeth Burton about some recent listener feedback and gives a preview of an upcoming segment that This Is Nashville is thrilled to bring you! Guests: Alan Powell, operations director of Nashville Grown Leah Larabell, co-owner of High Garden Tea Katie Coss, former executive chef at Husk Nashville who recently appeared on Chefs vs Wild Elizabeth Sanders, county director of UT-TSU Extension, Davidson County

Today is Election Day! It's the moment we've all been waiting for. The 2023 mayoral race is finally coming to a close. Alice Rolli and Freddie O'Connell have made it to the runoff, and only one will emerge victorious. All eyes have been on Nashville following the Covenant School mass shooting, the subsequent expulsion of the Tennessee Three, and a slew of contentious bills such as the drag restrictions, bans on gender-affirming healthcare and more. Our next mayor is going to be tasked with not only leading our city, but shaping the perception of Nashville on the national stage. Today, we'll review the highlights of this race, unpack for one final time each candidate's platform, and speculate what the impact of an O'Connell or Rolli mayorship would be for our community. We'll review some of this year's key events and discuss how this change in leadership will make or break our city going forward. Guests:  Holly McCall, editor in chief of the Tennessee Lookout Rondriquez White, Nashville native and community organizer Yusuf Dogan, local youth organizer

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Jessica Biggs, Davidson County Program Coordinator, who shares the story of how Isaiah 117 House began and expanded to Davidson County and highlights the nonprofit organization's mission and efforts to reduce trauma for kids on removal day, lighten the load of the caseworker, and ease the transition for the foster family.When children are removed from their homes out of concern for their safety, they are usually brought to a child welfare services office to await placement. This wait can be a few hours to several days. These children often have nothing with them and are scared, lonely, hungry, and in dirty clothing.Isaiah 117 provides a comforting home where these children instead can be brought to wait – a place that is safe with friendly and loving volunteers who provide clean clothes, smiles, toys, and snuggly blankets. This space allows children to receive the comfort and care they need while child welfare staff can do the necessary paperwork and identify a good placement.The mission of Isaiah 117 House is threefold:reduce trauma for children awaiting placementlighten the load for child welfare servicesease the transition for foster familiesDuring the interview, Jessica provides an update on the home renovations and plans for the future, talks about the importance of focusing on the youth and providing them with a home, how and why she got involved with the organization, and how the community can support their efforts.Visit www.isaiah117house.com to learn more.

Climbing the Charts sat down with Vivian Wilhoite, a former two-term member of the Metro Council (District 29) and current Assessor of Property for Davidson County (since 2016).  And on April 28th, 2023, she formally announced that she would be auditioning for her biggest role yet:  Mayor of Music City.    Among the top ten candidates vying to become Nashville's 10th mayor since the consolidation of the Metro Government in 1963, Vivian is now one of FOUR African-American women candidates.  If elected, Vivian would become the first African-American mayor of Music City, and only the second woman.  Vivian has been a trailblazer since, at the encouragement of her cousin Homer R. Wheaton - aka, “Uncle Homer" - she arrived in Nashville from Gulfport, Mississippi to attend college at Tennessee State University (TSU).   Vivian tells us her story of how she got a start in a real estate career – first as a real estate appraiser with the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA), where she would become Chief of the Consumer Services Division, to her current role as the head of a team of 87 professionals at the Office of the Assessor of Property—a government services division that would be selected as a finalist for the Nashville Business Journal's “Best of Business” awards in 2022.  This episode will be of particular interest to anyone who wants to gain a deep(er) understanding of property values and property taxes in Davidson County.  Vivians explains what her office does, how it differs from the role of the Davidson Country Trustee, and explains how her office's role interplays with state law, including “equalization,” as well as the roles of the Mayor and Metro Council in the overall process (a fascinatingly complex process that few people, including even many “experts,” do not fully understand!).    Lastly, Vivian reveals her personal side, including her love of various types of music, shares some her personal and professional accomplishments, and tells us about the wells from which she derives much of her energy and motivation.  With the release of this episode, Climbing the Charts concludes its conversations with the top ten (10) candidates vying to become Nashville's next mayor in 2023.  If you or someone you know is trying to decide who to vote for, please pass along the recommendation to listen to our conversations in a long-form format that gets beneath the surface and sound bites and provides a more real, 3D, way to get to know the candidates.

It's Friday, April 14th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. By Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com) Muslim Nigerians killed 100 Christians on Easter Sunday Over the Easter weekend, 100 Nigerian Christians were murdered in Benue State and 1,500 additional believers were displaced, reports EquippingThePersecuted.org. Fifty others were hospitalized after Islamic terrorists, armed with assault rifles, opened fire at 200 refugees who were camping in a primary school 15 miles northwest of Makurdi, the state capital. Mr. Tarbo David, a resident who witnessed the attack, said they drove in on motorcycles, overpowered the six police officers, and walked from classroom to classroom, shooting the doors open, and then slaughtering the victims in their sleep with machetes and swords. Those who struggled or sought to escape were shot. Eight other residents in the surrounding area were also killed. Revelation 6:9-10 says, “When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained.  They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until You judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Equipping the Persecuted is raising $250,000 to help the wounded, the sick, and the displaced. These funds will go towards providing proper shelter, food, sleeping mats, and medicine. You can make a donation through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. Robert F. Kennedy prepares presidential run Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is running for president, ready to challenge Joe Biden for the nomination in 2024, reports ABC News. On Wednesday, Kennedy filed a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission. The son of Senator Robert Kennedy, who was assassinated on June 6, 1968, he has risen to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic for his books The Real Anthony Fauci, A Letter to Liberals: Censorship and COVID, and The Wuhan Cover-Up: How U.S. Health Officials Conspired with the Chinese Military to Hide the Origins of COVID-19. Kennedy, who founded Children's Health Defense, had been long involved in the anti-vaccine movement. KENNEDY: “The generation of American children, born after 1990, are arguably the sickest generation in the history of our country with chronic ailments and pediatric rates of some chronic conditions that are the highest in the world. For example, according to CDC, one in every six American children has been diagnosed with a developmental disability such as autism, ADD, ADHD, or learning disabilities. And, according to HHS, and astonishing 54% of American children has a chronic disease like rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile diabetes. “Our federal agencies are not asking an essential question, ‘What is debilitating America's children?' We need to know that answer and we need to stop these exposures to our children today! “The forces that I'm up against are forces that have been able to compromise every major institution in our democracy. And the people who stand up against them get crushed. But I know how to fight them because I've spent a lifetime fighting big shots and fighting bullies. And that's who they are. And that's who we're dealing with today, people who have that arrogance of power, people who believe that they can get away with anything, including destroying the lives of our children.” No doubt Kennedy will give President Biden a run for his money on both the COVID vaccine and the shutdowns. Man, pretending to be a woman, killed cab driver in Portland On Easter Sunday, a gender-confused man reportedly stabbed a taxi driver to death in Portland, Oregon, reports LifeSiteNews.  Moses Jacob Lopez, a man who pretends to be a woman, has been charged with murder and unlawful use of a weapon for allegedly killing a 43-year-old Radio Cab driver named Reese Lawhon, according to the Portland Police Bureau.   A video showed the 30-year-old Lopez getting in the cab while wearing “a tiara and women's clothing.” Church purchased & forgave $3 million in medical debt for residents And finally, more than 3,000 Davidson County, North Carolina residents no longer have to worry about being hassled by debt collectors after a local church recently purchased, and forgave, almost $3 million in their medical bills through the Debt Jubilee Project, reports the Lexington Dispatch. Rev. John Jackman of Trinity Moravian Church in Winston-Salem wants to help families who were working paycheck-to-paycheck before being driven into poverty by an illness or an accident. In the past three months, the campaign raised $15,048 in cash, which was used to purchase nearly $3.3 million in medical debts in Davidson, Davie and Yadkin counties in North Carolina. Each person whose debt was purchased and forgiven received an official letter that their debt was wiped away. Colossians 2:14 says, God has “forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Friday, April 14th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
