David Smith Staff Writer Free meals at schools prevent many children from lowincome families from going hungry. The Metro Nashville Public School (MNPS) system also offers lunches to these children during the summer and holiday breaks. However, an analysis of the summer lunch pilot program revealed that some kids didn’t have access to meals during extended learn- 4-DAY FORECAST ing programs due to some significant barriers. Officials at the Department of Extended Learning cited extreme weather and transportation as the two main reasons some students were not showing up to programs they had signed up for in which hot meals were provided to kids and their parents. The department also had trouble communicating with parents that could have benefit- Thu. 9/1 Rain 20% 85ºF 64ºF ed from the programs, but didn't know about them, as well as getting the word out concerning the free meals.

As for our mid-TN summer resident hummingbirds, some may have already left but the bulk of them are feeding heavily now. As for where they are coming from, many hummingbirds that summered as far as Michigan and Canada, for example, have already entered the area in route to their summer homes in the south. “We can expect to see great hummingbird activity at our feeders for another 3 or 4 weeks before we see a real decrease in numbers,” John Carreau of the The Wood Thrush Shop said. The birds often migrate to the U.S in the spring from their winter homes in central and South America, typically arriving here or passing through at the end of March, first of April. “Many people that live in more rural areas, like myself, will see some hummingbirds well into October,” Carreau said. Shotgun maker opens a new facility in Nashville A successful firearms and apparel company is about to be operating a shotgun manufacturing plant in Nashville, bringing with it 100 jobs over the next 5 years, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (ECD) announced in a news release on Thursday, August 25.

Jennifer Bell, with the school system’s office for Extended Learning, said the summer pilot program allowed four schools to provide free meals. The school locations were difficult for some parents to get to, which made reaching those families impossible. “We are analyzing the program before we revisit it for next year. So far, we know that we need to increase access,” Bell said. This analysis includes learning from successful nonprofit organizations, like Second Harvest Food Bank, which, over the summer, served more than 250,000 breakfast and lunch meals at 109 sites across Davidson County compared to the school system's 56,000 summer meals. Bell’s department is proud of both these numbers and said they are taking steps to learn from Second Harvest. A new partnership between MNPS and Second Harvest, called Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), gives meals to stu- dents involved in the after school programs Head Start and Early Head Start. While this helps the non-profit and the school system combine resources, the funds stop short of the weekend when MNPS often holds some of their extended learning programs. “The challenge with the MNPS programs is that they will meet on Saturdays,” Metropolitan Action Commission Public Information Officer Lisa McCrady said. “Although Second Harvest sees this as a great way to keep students engaged, the grant option that we are currently under only covers the five-day school week.” According to McCrady, they cannot afford the additional costs of weekend staff needed to prepare and serve the meals. MNPS will soon decide if funding school lunch programs during winter breaks is possible. During this year’s winter storms that left thousands of students across Nashville without access to a school lunch, Second Harvest handed out box lunches at a handful of locations across Nashville. The school system continues to be inspired by that effort, and hopes to learn how it can help more students and parents in need of hot meals. An Emergency Alert Test will send text messages to your cell phone on Sept 1 The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency and the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters, and its members, will conduct a statewide test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) to deliver a voluntary Emergency Alert System (EAS) message and a Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) at 2:30 p.m., CDT, on Thursday, September 1. The test is a collaborative effort to raise awareness about the importance of emergency preparedness and in recognition of September 2016 as National Preparedness Month. “This year, in Tennessee and across the nation, natural and human-caused disasters have taken lives, destroyed homes and damaged roads and infrastructure,” TEMA Director Patrick Sheehan said. “While we live in some of the safest times in history, these fires, storms, flash-floods, heatwaves, tornadoes, accidents, and active shooter tragedies serve as reminders of the importance of being aware of the potential threats around us and to prepare ourselves and our loved ones. This statewide EAS test message will recognize National Preparedness Month and emphasize the importance of emergency preparedness.” The test messages will allow TEMA to assess its operational readiness to alert and warn the public during statewide disasters and emergencies. The message will be as follows: “This is a statewide test of the Emergency Alert System. This is only a test. September is National Preparedness Month. The Tennessee Emergency Management Agency, Tennessee Association of Broadcasters and this station are reminding you how important it is to be ready for disasters and emergencies. Take some time to prepare an emergency kit for your home, office, and vehicle, and have an emergency plan so you and your family are ready. Visit www.tnema.org for information.” The EAS test is designed to have limited impact on the public and there is no Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulatory liability for stations that choose not to participate. “TAB’s radio and television membership is looking forward to partnering with TEMA,” TAB President Whit Adamson said. “We know this statewide test is the perfect warmup for the national test scheduled on September 28, which will be coordinated with the FCC and Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Also on September 1, just after 2:30 p.m., CDT, Tennesseans, and those travelling through the state, will receive the following WEA, or text message, on their mobile devices: “September is National Preparedness Month, make sure you are ready for the next disaster.” Authorized alerting authorities can use WEA to send emergency text messages through mobile carriers. WEA messages include a special tone and vibration, repeated twice, to alert callers. The message also will display the type and time of the alert.

This fall the manufacturer, Gunmaker Vantage LLC, is taking over a 22,000-square-foot facility on Murfreesboro Road, where employees will begin assembling the company’s signature shotguns. “Over the last five years, Tennessee’s manufacturing sector has posted the second-largest GDP increase in the Southeast,” ECD Commissioner Randy Boyd said. “Vantage’s decision to invest in Tennessee is a testament to our state’s thriving manufacturing sector and our pipeline of workforce talent that can meet the needs of advanced manufacturers.” Vantage’s founders are also the founders of Crye Precision, which specializes in making apparel and equipment for military and law enforcement. The N.Y.-based company is named after one of the founders, Caleb Crye. In regard to choosing Nashville for their new location, in a release the company said that the area is unwavering in its support of innovation. “We’ve come to the clear conclusion that Tennessee, and Nashville specifically, offers a top-notch workforce,” Gregg Thompson, co-founder of Vantage, said. “It’s an under- statement to say that we are ecstatic to build this operation and this brand in Tennessee. It’s truly a perfect fit.” The company expects to invest $5 million into the plant. In April, Beretta USA, the Italian gunmaker, opened a 156,000-square-foot facility in Gallatin. In total, the two manufacturing plants are expected to bring 400 manufacturing jobs to the Nashville area. Over the next five years, the two companies will bring 400+ jobs to the Nashville area. Fill the Truck” effort honors 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance September 2016 marks the 15th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Nashvillians will join together and participate in volunteer service projects across the city to honor the memory of 9/11 victims and heroes. On Friday, September 9, the FiftyForward Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) will sponsor the 2nd annual “Fill the Truck” event at select area Kroger stores in Davidson and Williamson counties, to benefit the USO and the military members they serve. The donations gathered at this annual “Fill the Truck” event help to provide refreshments for those serving our country as they pass through these USO centers. Volunteers are needed from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., to hand out donation suggestion flyers and to collect non-perishable snacks and food items that will be delivered to the USO Welcome Centers. “9/11 is a day of history, emotion and reflection,” said FiftyForward RSVP Director Robin Johnson. “For Americans, on this 15th year anniversary, it is also a day of service that provides an opportunity to join neighbors and local leaders to rekindle the compassion and unity shown on that day.” To volunteer on September 9, contact Liane Proctor, RSVP Volunteer Coordinator, at (615) 743-3426 or e-mail at lproctor @fiftyforward.org and volunteer at the participating Kroger locations.

Since Comey’s exoneration of Clinton, her dishonesty problems have piled up, with new revelations leaking out every few days. Two revelations are particularly damaging to Clinton’s already battered character. One pertains to the Clinton Foundation – Bill and Hillary’s non-profit organization that funds charitable endeavors around the globe, and the other is that the FBI found 15,000 work-related documents that Clinton failed to turn over, these in addition to the 30,000 emails originally turned over. Thus, the Clinton campaign’s statement that only 30,000 emails on her server were related to work was another lie since the new find puts the number closer to 45,000. But, that is not the worst of it. It has become apparent that the real reason Clinton set up private email servers in the first place and then attempted to wipe them clean was to hide the overlap between top donors to the foundation and the access it gained them to Clinton as secretary of state, resulting in a blatant conflict of interest. That access seriously questions the impartiality of decisions she made while secretary, as well as potential conflicts of interest she would be confronted with as commander in chief if she is elected president. At least 60 companies that lobbied the State Department during her tenure donated more than $26 million to the Clinton Foundation; 55 percent of Clinton’s meetings and calls with people outside of the government were donors to the foundation; and more than 40 percent of the foundation’s top donors are from foreign countries (many of whom have a history of human rights abuses). According to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press, at least 85 of 154 people from private interests, who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she was secretary of state, donated to the foundation or pledged commitments to its international programs. Combined, these 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million, while at least 40 donated more than $100,000 each and 20 gave more than $1 million each. In summary, those 85 people who donated $156 million breaks down to an average contribution of $1.8 million, and over half of nongovernmental people Clinton either met with or spoke to on the phone during her four years as secretary of state were donors to the foundation. “Pay to play” has not been officially proved yet, but the cloud of corruption surrounding Clinton keeps getting darker week by week. Clinton’s “trust me” defense that donations to the foundation were totally isolated from her official business at State and that the 30,000-plus emails permanently deleted from her private email server were because they were entirely personal (e.g., regarding yoga and daughter Chelsea’s wedding) is not a credible defense. Adding insult to injury, seven months after a federal judge ordered the State Department to release monthly the detailed daily schedules showing meetings by Clinton while she was secretary of state, the department now says it won’t finish the job before election day. How ridiculous, but so convenient for Mrs. Clinton.

Citizen Police Academy seeks new recruits Nashvillians interested in learning about the inner workings of local law enforcement strategies are invited to apply for the free 11-week course. It will be the 35th session since the Citizen Police Academy began in 1995. Classes will be held on Monday nights from 6 - 9 p.m. through December 5th in the community room of the Madison Precinct, 400 Myatt Drive. Because class size is limited, interested persons are urged to apply now. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, September 6th. Participants will learn about police work through the perspective of a variety of guest speakers, including members of the police department’s spe- cialized components. Topics will include gangs, narcotics enforcement, domestic violence, traffic/DUI enforcement, internet crimes, emergency preparedness, crime prevention and the judicial process. There will also be a tour of the Emergency Communications Center and a demonstration by the Aviation, Canine and Mounted Units. “The Citizen Police Academy is absolutely the best way to learn the most about the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department,” Chief Steve Anderson said. “Participants will most assuredly graduate with knowledge about police work they didn’t have before.” Each applicant should commit to attending at least 9 of the 11 sessions, be a Davidson County resident/business owner at least 21 years old, and have no arrest record (excluding minor traffic violations). While completion of the course gives citizens an understanding of the workings of the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department, it does not make a participant a certified law enforcement officer, nor is it designed to train citizens to perform law enforcement duties. Applications can also be submitted on the Inter net by logging onto www.nashville.gov/Police-Depart ment/Get-Involved/C i t i z e n Police-Academy.aspx For questions, contact Noelle Yazdani at (615) 880-2892.

If a client, customer or patient indicates there is a disagreement, take the initiative to correct the problem. Apologize at the first hint of cause attributable to you. Be Empathic. At the risk of being redundant, consider your- Taxing Matters By Jim Wilson, CPA Good Counsel for Business Owners and Others Do you encounter quirky, irritable, and down right difficult customers, clients and/or patients? I think all CPAs have faced difficult clients: those who complain, wait until the last minute to provide information, treat people rudely, or don't pay their bills. These situations can turn into nightmares for accounting firms and for sales associates and professionals in any business. It is understood that some demanding clients and customers present challenging situations and are encountered by most businesses. If you “cover all the bases” and think everybody is happy or at least content, small fires may break out at any time. Our business deals with very touchy subjects: tax preparation, compilation of financial statements, bank reconciliations and fraud engagements. In your business, you may have areas that are more sensitive than others. Managing and retaining clients, customers and patients is "not a perfect science and really is an art." Dealing with the public can result in hurt feelings on both sides of the encounter. But there are steps you can follow to minimize conflict or tension that arises due to miscommunication or other issues. Open communication. Be open and use good communication skills. Confront the problem before it has time to erupt. If a conflict occurs, use tact and communicate your willingness to avoid hurtful situations. If your client, customer, or patient calls, return the call immediately and consider their feelings as you would want yours considered. Discuss the engagement. While you are working with your client, customer or patient, be clear about what is required of them and you. In CPA work, we have an engagement letter to express expectations for us and others. Develop relationships. The best way to build relationships is to consider what you would require from someone else. Treat your customers, clients and patients the way you want to be treated. self and respond the way you would want to be treated. Realize a challenging client isn't all bad. Discuss the rules applicable to your position. Be willing to be kind, but you can challenge if the client is clearly wrong. Be kind, but firm. Let them go and wish them well. If the friction warrants, just invite them to seek assistance elsewhere. It is better to lose a sale than to continue in strife.

Jim Cooper stopped by for breakfast at John A’s restaurant. He said he was there to pay tribute to John A. Hobbs who each month holds what Cooper called "Metro’s greatest community gathering." Mayor Megan Barry had breakfast there too, bringing along her own coffee mug. “One of my mugs (has the logo) for Metro’s police and the other, the fire department emblem. Every morning, I grab one or the other of these mugs as I think about the folks who serve our city every day,” she said from the podium. “We have several of our fire folks helping in Baton Rouge now because we (in Nashville) know what it is like to go through a flood.” Author Julie Richardson announced the debut of her book, “John A. Hobbs: The Life and Times of Music Valley’s Visionary.” The release will be on Feb. 11, 2017 which is John A's birthday. Richardson told the crowd, “John A. is a living legend and an American hero. He is an abundantly loved man who, at the age of 88, continues to play a significant role in the rise of Music Valley and in the history of country music.” You can reserve this book now at www.jahobbs.com.

Thompson The Evolution of An Old Building I can remember when the old church building located on the southeast corner of Edgehill Avenue and 17th Avenue South near Music Row was still an Episcopal Church. In fact, it was the old Church of the Advent. In 1973, the church congregation relocated to a new building in the Brentwood area on Franklin Pike. Since then, that old church building at Edgehill and 17th has served in many capacities. For a while, it was used as a neighborhood center for the YMCA. In 1977, the building was transformed into a play production theatre, and became the Advent Theatre of the Tennessee Performing Arts Foundation.

Nixon served three terms on the Metro Council, from 1975 to 1987. Her district, number 18, encompasses areas near Vanderbilt and Belmont universities. She was the first woman to run for mayor of Nashville in 1987, when she lost to Bill Boner. She again ran for mayor in 1991, when Phil Bredesen prevailed. She was very active in supporting neighborhoods, especially the historic Vanderbilt and Belmont neighborhoods, fighting for preservation during times of rapid growth in the city. She helped spearhead the battle against urban renewal and the construction of Interstate 440 during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Ms. Nixon was active in the political realm for more than four decades and she campaigned for Megan Barry in the mayoral race last year. Continuing her support of neighborhoods, she spoke at the council this spring to resist an apartment building developers wanted to construct that she said did not fit with the area’s ambiance. “Betty Nixon was an amazing woman, leader, and friend who taught our city a lot of lessons about public service, the importance of neighborhoods and the power of women," Barry said in a statement. “She was truly a unique personality who had the ability to captivate a room with her wit and wisdom," Barry said. "Those of us who were fortunate to call Betty a friend are better off because of it, along with countless others who never had the chance to meet her but have benefited because of her passion and commitment to a better Nashville for all." Ms. Nixon was the first woman to chair Metro Council’s budget and finance committee, a powerful position. She also was the first woman to run a statewide political campaign, which she managed for Democratic presidential candidate Walter Mondale's campaign in Tennessee in 1984. In 1988, Nixon oversaw the winning campaign of U.S. Sen. Jim Sasser. Nixon was employed as assistant vice chancellor for community, neighborhood and government relations at Vanderbilt University from 1990 to 2007. Prior to that, she worked for a short time in Washington, D.C. for the U.S. Senate subcommittee on intergovernmental relations. Nixon chaired the board of the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center, which specializes in ear, nose and throat diseases, and communication disorders. She also chaired the Davidson County Election Commission and was a board member of the Nashville Electric Service. “We are saddened by the loss of the amazing Betty Nixon," Tennessee Democratic Party Chair Mary Mancini said. "She was not only a role model for women, but for a generation of activists and candidates she befriended and helped with an encouraging word, a bit of sage advice, and an energy that was as boundless as it was invigorating." Gary Bynum, chairman of the Davidson County Democratic Party and a resident of Belmont-Hillsboro, said candidates made it a practice to first meet and speak with Nixon before running for the council's District 18 seat. "There was a time in Nashville that if you did anything, ran for office or even had a big idea for the community, you sought Betty's blessing," Bynum said. "You wanted it. You wanted her wisdom, her political acumen and her sup- port. Her life laid the groundwork for what Nashville is today. “There was just such a huge deal of respect for Betty. She had such a great mind, especially political strategy, knowing her community and just knowing Nashville in general,” Bynum added. A native Nashvillian and graduate of Hillsboro High School, Nixon earned a bachelor’s degree from Southern Methodist University and an MBA from Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University. Her husband, Henry Clark who died in 2010, predeceased Nixon. Survivors include her children, Mignon Nixon and Anne Nixon, and three stepchildren, Hank Clark, Becky Clark Fuller, and Susan Clark. Funeral services are pending. Contact Brenda by emailing [email protected] or by calling 615-352-5184.

Residents of Nashville living in the General Service District will get six weeks before the Metro Council will decide whether or not to move them into the Urban Service District. Previously, the Metro Planning Commission was set to decide on the issue at a Thursday, August 25, meeting but Mayor Megan Barry sent the commission a letter requesting they defer consideration of the expansion of the Urban Services District (USD) until the first commission meeting in October Households in the USD receive city services currently not provided in the GSD, mainly garbage collection, curbside recycling and street lights. (10/13) to give Council Members and residents more time to review the plan and determine whether inclusion in the USD is right for their neighborhoods. “Allowing the public to have a larger window in which to review these proposals and discuss the potential benefits at their neighborhood associations or communities meetings is a better process for all,” Mayor Barry said. Barry hopes residents will meet with their council members and learn more about what a change might mean for them. With entry into the USD, households will receive city services currently not provided, mainly garbage collection, curbside recycling and the installation of street lights. With so much growth in rural parts of Davidson County, Barry originally asked the city planning department to start developing a plan to bring city services to parts of Hermitage, Donelson, Bellevue and Antioch, currently in the general service district. “My administration’s intent in seeking a review of the USD boundaries was to be responsive to requests from some Council Members to give neighborhoods and communities the tools necessary to ensure that their services match the needs of a growing city,” Barry said. While the proposal would not adjust tax rates, it would place thousands of residents into the higher USD property tax rate bracket. USD property tax rate is $4.516 per $100 of assessed value, compared to $3.924 per $100 of assessed value in the GSD. “Ultimately, my desire is for those areas that want to receive the benefits of inclusion in the USD will have the option to do so, while neighborhoods that prefer to stay in the GSD will have that option as well,” said Barry. Indoor cart racing facility opens in Hermitage After opening its doors on August 27, Veloce Indoor Speedway is Nashville’s newest indoor race track. Located at 3432 Lebanon Pike in Hermitage, the company brands itself as an adrenaline-filled escape from everyday issues and a champion of customer service. “We feel we can provide a safe, fun, family friendly experience like none other in town,” Veloce’s Managing Partner John Hoffman said. The company is growing fast. Veloce will open a facility in Knoxville, TN, at the end of September. They also oper- ate in Huntsville AL, and Milwaukee WI. “We were looking to expand in a city that was vibrant and had demographics that fit our target market. The Nashville area does not have a facility like ours,” Hoffman states. Vintage Market at the historic Two Rivers Mansion filled with antiques, vintage and nostalgia The three-day, September 9 11, event promises to be a collector’s delight. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., visitors can stroll through the historic lawn of the Mansion and visit the booths of approximately 30 vendors selling everything from antique toys and bicycles to vintage furniture, jewelry, clocks and other offerings. If you are a collector or just a lover of things from a by-gone area, this is the show for you. Live music and food trucks will also be on-site for this fall fundraiser to benefit Friends of Two Rivers Mansion. Adult admission is $10 and $2 for children.

September 1, 2016, The News- Page 11 Belle Meade event commemorates terrorist attacks The event will be commemorating the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 events. Immanuel Baptist Church, 222 Belle Meade Blvd, is hosting a community event on Sunday, September 11, at 7 p.m., commemorating the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 events. The Immanuel Choir and Orchestra will present “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace” by British composer Karl Jenkins. It features texts from Christianity and Judaism, as well as historic texts from India and modern texts from Japan and Great Britain. The music is accompanied by a silent video of footage from the preparations for war, the conflicts themselves, the aftermath, and the quest for peace. (As some of the texts and scenes are not appropriate for young children, child care will be provided up to age 12.) People of all faiths and cultures are warmly invited to share this event. Director of schools says he is fixing the issues raised during a meeting with the Alliance for Green Hills The lack of resources for developmentally challenged students and the disparity between classroom grades and standardized test scores were spotlighted during a community meeting that was moderated by Metro Nashville Public School System’s Director Dr. Shawn Joseph. These concerns were raised by members of the Alliance for Green Hills, a non-profit organization founded to advocate for community improvements, last week at Hillsboro Highschool as part of a series of community meetings attended by Dr. Joseph over a two-week period. Dr. Joseph learned that in some cases students were not being given opportunities beyond test preparation, like project-based and group activities. Dr. Joseph said that students were also experiencing a disparity between their standardized test scores, like on the ACT, and their classroom grades. “If my son was getting good grades in class, but then did poorly on the ACT, I would think something wrong is happening,” he added. His recommendations include determining how teachers are managing their classroom time and rethinking block scheduling so that time is being used more efficiently. The director also found that Nashville lacks important benchmarking data that would allow the district to be compared against national norms. He then acknowledged the trouble of setting goals without this information and said the district is taking steps to record student achievement through a mixture of assessment tools. He said that so far the results have shown many trouble areas, but also recognized these meetings is a first step in creating a plan to fix them. Dr. Joseph and his staff will organize the community feedback in a report that is expected to become available to the public in September.

So we’re back to college, I was at Target on White Bridge Road on Saturday and it was a mad house... elbow to elbow with people, full of buggies and everything. There were people who have to be in a hurry to get places and the most important people in the world might I’ll add. I was standing there waiting in line (the lines were backed way down) and there was a woman who was speeding by with her buggy and she had a pillow for her kid on top of a cardboard box hanging out on the other side with a sharp corner which dug into my back when she ran into me and I thought shelving at first had hit me in the back. I didn’t know she was coming and I yelled, screamed it hurt so bad. She did a drive by with it. When I yelled she looked over at me and said, “oh I only hit you with a pillow” and I said, “no mam i wish you had just hit me with a pillow but you hit with me that cardboard box hanging out of your cart and dug into my back” and then she asked if I was hurt, am I ok.

Then after asking if I was ok, she sped off to jump in front of someone else in another line. Unreal manners some people have... When you hurt someone just ask if they are ok. Don’t tell them when they scream oh, did I hit you with a pillow? Bet she thinks she is the most important mother.

Wake up about smoking To the newcomer from New York who chooses to bash not only the city but numerous businesses for wishing to promote a healthy environment by not allowing smoking--wake up and stop being a bona fide idiot. 500,000 people die every year from second hand smoke, and you are so last Millenium for ranting about your right to smoke. Smoking is stupid, people who do it are stupid, those who vape are twice as stupid, as they smoke propylene glycol, which is used for stripping garage floors. Read the packages that correspond to the personal addiction you don't think is serious enough to do anything about. I work downtown, and the only thing I don't like about working downtown is the fact that there's no escape from the second-hand smoke filling the air--thanks to thoughtless and selfish people like you who pretend to have a claim on the quality of air that others must breathe. You can still smoke in New York--take a one-way ticket and see.

Two later and still Lone Oak projects going on I just checked my diary two years ago and the Lone Oak projects blocking the roads back then are still going on today.

Don’t know what happened to America or where it went but I’ve had a gun permit for 25-30 years and I use to carry it all the time. I go to church, tried to change my life and live right and so I have stopped carrying it. My wife has asked me in the last two of months to start carrying my gun again. So much is going on and you never know what’s going to happen. Don’t know where its going but its going to have to get turned around before it gets worse. I know that I don’t want to hurt anybody but I do not want nobody to hurt my family or myself because I love them truly and my family means more to me than all the money in the world but if it means I need to carry my gun again that’s what I will do.

Street collectors and the Shriners Calling one of my favorite papers to read. I had to go to Rivergate this morning to see my mother-in-law who is in assisted living and went through all the traffic to see her. I noticed at the four way stop at Gallatin Road and Old Hickory Blvd, there were least 5 or 6 different people on the street corners trying to collect money, homeless this and homeless that. I went up the road and it was the same thing again all the way through Rivergate. You know, I had a lot of friends that were Shriners and the Shriners use to do that all the time. What really got me is they have stopped the Shriners from doing that and you got every yogo out there doing it now and I think it’s really sad.

If two people get to the four way stop at the same time, then the person on your right has the right away to go first.

Google Fiber in Berry Hill Hi, I was in Berry Hill the other day near where I live and I found out they are putting in Google Fiber into the ground. Now what I want to say is if they are putting Google Fiber into the ground and they still have all these power lines ahead of us, on top of us, making our neighborhoods looks crappy, taking down the value of our property, and then Google comes in here from California and they start laying pipe like it is their home town business, then I want to say to Google Fiber to get the heck out. We don’t need your fast internet, we need our telephone poles to go into the ground and that way we do not have to stop on the side of the road. We can go ahead and get some tacos, do whatever we want and be free to roam. But with all this construction and all these political powers behind it, we have a serious problem on our hands. Immigrants pay taxes too Dear "If you're not a US citizen, what!?" I am born and raised in the US and even though the process of naturalization has not been one I have had to navigate I do consider it good knowledge right along with our other state and federal laws and basic legal processes. Given the current climate of this country toward immigrants and the fringe hate groups that a certain bombastic presidential nominee has turned out I was not surprised to read your haughty, angry tone or your lack of knowledge when expressing your discontent over the social security web site addressing those who are not a citizen and who are in need of a replacement SS card. I guess, like you seemed to lump all immigrants into one Trump tainted, angry pot, I had my own assumptions about the writer on the other end of that Ticked Off ! comment. Therefore, I was surprised to read you are of retirement age and do not know under what circumstances a non US citizen would hold a valid social security card. We have many lawful permanent residents (LPR) in this country who hold a permanent resident card residing and working in this country. They are required to pay taxes just like you Vintage Market BELLEVUE Antique Mall and me. You wrote "go back home and come into this country the proper way..." A proper way to enter this country is to be a LPR for a period of time before becoming eligible for naturalized citizenship. During that time a LPR can be issued a social security number, work and pay taxes as the law requires. In some cases some of those f/k/a aliens may not become naturalized citizens after spending years working, opening businesses, employing local citizens and paying a great deal of money into the social security system you claimed as your own when you wrote "you slackers are robbing those of us that money truly belongs to". There are many immigrants who work in the US, setting up businesses, employing local US citizens and providing an economic boost while helping families put food on the table and pay their electric bill. They too are paying taxes that support our education system, road maintenance, etc. Ticked off?
