Local attorney stays busy with work, play, family
On the first floor of University Tower, attorney Hannah Stokes sits with her husband, Pete, scanning pictures from a recent family vacation. The husband/wife team smiles from ear to ear in each photo. Their daughter, 12-year-old Abby, smiles as well. It’s obvious they had a wonderful time.

Autism Behavior Services serving area children and families
A tight hug around your neck. A twinkle in your child’s eyes as he looks at you. A brief exchange of words:
“Do you know mommy loves you?”
“Yes.”
“Do you love mommy?”
“Yes.”
These are simple pleasures you might be enjoying as the parent of a young child. They’re also moments parents with autistic children are frequently denied, as many people with autism have trouble with verbal and non-verbal communication, social interaction and play.

Are We There Yet?
 More movie lines

2. “Hell of a thing killin’ a man. Take away all he’s got, and all he’s ever gonna have.”

I Swear...
 Be kind to your pooch
 Maggie the Cheagle (half beagle, half Chihuahua) seems to enjoy her life in the Fleming household. Or am I projecting? I had second thoughts about my smugness on this issue when I heard the following poem on “A Prairie Home Companion” last weekend:

Weekly Indulgence
 I love the commercial that comes on Talk Radio 102.3 about Blue Plate: “Head toward the river on Chestnut Street. If you hit the river, you’ve gone too far.” The commercial also talks about Blue Plate’s use of fresh, local ingredients, which is one of my favorite things about many eateries in Chattanooga.

Taste of Hamilton Place to raise funds for local oncology group
Hamilton Place will be hosting a special evening of sampling and music at the first “A Taste of Hamilton Place,” scheduled to take place Sunday, September 20, from 7 to 9 p.m. Ticket holders will be able to meet chefs, try out a variety of signature creations from the area’s best restaurants and enjoy musical entertainment as they stroll from station to station.

Chattanooga Stand working to make community visions a reality
When Hamilton County Mayor Claude Ramsey announced to the Rotary Club that Volkswagen Group of America was coming to Chattanooga, he challenged audience members to start thinking about the future of their city. Three members of that audience took that message to heart and carried the conversation to their own communities and neighborhoods. Before long, their conversation grew into a community visioning effort, aimed at uncovering the questions and concerns of people in and around the Chattanooga area.

Corker returns home for coffee and questions with CAR
Sen. Bob Corker returned recently to his hometown of Chattanooga to have coffee with members of the Chattanooga Association of Realtors. Modestly avoiding an elaborate introduction from CAR President Nikki Schwartzkopf, Corker took the floor in the standing-room-only space to thank those in attendance for their welcome.

“Will I Be Here Tomorrow?” seminar to offer plan of action
“Will I be here tomorrow?”
That’s a good question. Even with the economy showing signs of slowly turning around, many people are still concerned about losing their jobs. Likewise, many business owners are wondering if their operations will be able to continue for much longer in the current climate.
