South Davidson fights gang graffiti, "professional taggers''
By Nancy DeVille • THE TENNESSEAN • December 1, 2010
Cleaning up the graffiti can be troublesome. If a structure owned by the city is tagged, Metro Public Works handles the job. But residents and business owners who find graffiti on their property are on their own, which is why neighborhood volunteers are so vital.
“A lot of folks can take care of their own property, but it can happen to elderly folks or people who don’t have the wherewithal to abate that graffiti,” Frazier said.
“Volunteers are out there to support those folks because homeowners can be cited (for graffiti) eventually by Metro Codes, and most of the time they are victims of the vandalism.”
Birdsong hopes to build partnerships with area businesses so supplies needed to cover the graffiti can be donated.
“Hopefully they will give up and move on to another area where their artwork is not going to be defaced like I am defacing it,” he said.

By Tom Wilemon • THE TENNESSEAN • December 1, 2010
Expectant mothers in Davidson County can now enroll in what will be the nation’s largest child health study that seeks to identify the causes of autism, obesity, asthma, birth defects and other disorders.
The National Children's Study will track the children’s health from birth to the age of 21.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center is doing the study in conjunction with the Davidson Partners for Children’s Health. Officials celebrated the launch of study Wednesday morning.
Davidson County is one of 30 pilot sites for the study, which will ultimately cover 105 areas across the nation with more than 100,000 enrollees.
The goal here is to have 1,000 children from Davidson County enrolled over the next four years.
Women who plan to become pregnant or are expecting can learn about the study by calling 1-866-346-2684 or by visiting www.davidsoncounty.nationalchildrensstudy.gov
