This week we have an interview with Dorie Bolze, Executive Director of the Harpeth River Watershed Association. http://www.harpethriver.org/ Bolze, who has a Master of Environmental Studies degree from the Yale School of Forestry, has worked for over 15 years in conservation and land management policy. She worked for nine years in international wildlife conservation for the Wildlife Conservation Society and other organizations before she and her musician husband, Claude Carmichael, moved to middle Tennessee.

Dorie will discuss the proposed amendment to the State Scenic Rivers Act that prohibits landfills within two miles on either side of a scenic river. This proposed amendment is specifically designed to allow a construction and demolition landfill to be developed at the site of an inactive rock quarry near McCory lane in Bellevue.

Also the youth group from Glendale Baptist Church discuss their experiences at the Baptist Peace Fellowship of North America. www.glendalebaptist.org
