IPSCO rolls out new plans, rates for CBA members
The relationship with the Chattanooga Bar Association and IPSCO dates back to 1956, when founder Jake Bishop’s brother was an attorney at Bishop, Leitner, Warner, Owens and Mann. At that time, the company offered a life insurance plan, which the association eventually endorsed. Thanks to the strong relationship that grew between IPSCO and the Chattanooga Bar Association, that same plan is still endorsed today.
Tennessee Aquarium president and CEO plans to stay on top
Most of the data related to the renaissance of Chattanooga supports the theory that it began with the Tennessee Aquarium. The attraction’s president and CEO, Charlie Arant, agrees.
“Just look at the downtown area in the evenings; there’s a vibrant atmosphere that didn’t exist before the aquarium opened,” says Arant, who assumed his post in 1995. “There was nothing around here but old, boarded up warehouses. Big River Grille was a car barn. Over time, people came to town and

Let’s eat somewhere new...like our homes
While reading during lunch one day and eating a not-so-good-for-me meal, I came upon a very interesting article on nutrition in a magazine. As I finished my “too much for a man and not hardly enough for a bear” burger and placed a super-curled fry in my mouth, the article just seemed to be calling my name. No, it was not calling out the names that describe me like, “husky boy” or “wide load,” but the information it contained did get my attention.
Case Digests - Tennessee court of appeals syllabus
Dawn Brown, et al vs. Tennessee Title Loans, Inc.
Hamilton County - We accepted this interlocutory appeal to consider “the sole issue of whether the Tennessee Title Pledge Act [“the Act”], Tenn. Code Ann. § 45-15-101, et. seq. [(2007)] provides . . . a private right of action.” Defendant is a “title pledge lender” as defined in the Act. Plaintiffs all allegedly obtained loans from the defendant and, again allegedly, were charged interest and fees, including a “redemption premium,” not allowed by the Act. The trial court granted defendant’s motion to dismiss all claims based on alleged violations of the Act, holding that the Act does not afford a private right of action. The trial court granted plaintiffs’ motion for an interlocutory appeal pursuant to Tenn. R. App. P. 9. Plaintiffs then filed a timely application for permission to appeal to this Court, which we granted, limited to the stated issue. We now vacate the order of dismissal and remand for further proceedings.
Are We There Yet?
Fred called me on Monday to tell me he finally realized why he had been charged $28 for a round of golf at Rebsamen, while the other three of us only paid $25.
“You want to know?” he asked.
“It’s all I’ve thought about,” I said, realizing too late he’d set me up.
I Swear...
On May 3, 1944, the name of an American state, UTAH, appeared as an entry in the crossword puzzle published in Britain’s Daily Telegraph. This word’s seemingly innocent appearance would have repercussions that would reverberate through the years.
Val Gilbert, the Daily Telegraph crossword editor retold the story in a May 3, 2004, article.
Weekly Indulgence
I’ve lived in Red Bank for a little over a year now. I love it there because you’ve got everything you need in a few-mile radius – Wal-Mart, Cato (they have great clearance racks), Dollar General, Bi-Lo and a few really good local eateries my roommates and I frequent. One establishment I’ve passed often but never took the time to visit is a small building right off Dayton Boulevard, with a sign out front that reads “Salon Haven.”
Community unites for opening of CGLA all-girls charter school
“Here we are!” said Maxine Bailey, to a roomful of cheering friends, family and community members. Moments before, the sizeable group of supporters welcomed busloads and cars full of students to the first-ever day of school at Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy, the city’s first all-girls, public charter school.
Local real estate agent making lemons into lemonade
When opportunity knocks, some people have their television turned up too loud to hear, others are too busy with everyday tasks to notice or too lazy to get off the couch, and still others throw open the door and embrace opportunity with everything they have. As an affiliate broker for Keller Williams and owner of Great Spaces Group, Dell Peoples has always been one of the latter.
Workman to serve as president of CCIM of East Tennessee
In his last year of college at Lee University, Brian Workman “got his feet wet” with an internship at Bender Realty in Cleveland. He enjoyed it, and soon realized commercial real estate was something he could actually do for a living.
“I happened just to luck out that one of the guys I went to Lee with and was in a fraternity with decided to come back and open a Zaxby’s franchise,” he says. “After I went through that process with him, I was like, ‘I kind of like this.’”

Kay’s Cooking Corner
Well, summer has passed the mid-way point, and everyone I know is taking advantage of the great outdoors and the fun this season has to offer. Family vacations, trips to the lake or beach, visiting out-of-town relatives, summer-league games —whatever we have planned to squeeze in during these warm months, can keep us quite busy and on the go. All this activity, also makes us very hungry, but not in the mood for much KP duty. I’ve got just the right meal!
The Critic's Corner
If “The Ugly Truth” had an actual mouth, my mother would wash it out with soap. Here’s a film that revels in filthy, smutty, rude language. Within the first few minutes, I breathed a sigh of relief that I’d decided to see the movie BEFORE I picked up my 17-year-old daughter for our summer visit. If candid sexual talk isn’t your thing, then you should avoid seeing “The Ugly Truth.” You’ll miss one of the best romantic comedies of the year, though.
