When you see a blind per-son being escorted by a see-ing-eye dog, remember thatthis practice started with ayoung man from Nashville.
In 1927, Morris Frankwas a 20-year-old student atVanderbilt University andvery unhappy about hisdependency on others toget around. Frank's fatherread him an article in the
Saturday Evening Post byDorothy Eustis, an Americanwoman living in Switzer-land. In the article, Eustistalked about how she hadseen shepherds there train-ing dogs to help blind people,and she speculated that thispractice could be perfectedto help blind people on a full-time basis.
Excited by the idea, Frank

One of the greatest gifts in lifeparents can give their children is apersonal moral code. It’s not fair tothe child, the school systems, orother caregivers, to relegate thatresponsibility to someone else. Forexample, every morning when daddropped my sister and me off atPeabody Dem School on the side-walks of Edgehill, he’d always say,“What’s The Golden Rule” and we’drecite “Do Unto Others as YouWould Have Others Do Unto toYou!” and off we’d dart not evenrealizing the importance of whathad just happened.
Reflecting back upon momentssuch as that over the years helpedme appreciate the value of shortlittle quotes that would yield longlasting, perhaps even life changing,impact. For example, yesterday aclient, who is a stay at home momrunning her own monogrammingbusiness while managing herhusband’s HVAC company (HaloHeating & Cooling), I could tell,was feeling a touch blue becausetheir last of three children wouldsoon be leaving the nest. And shesmiled while saying, “The days arelong and the years are short.”Behind that smile was a little tear…. That’s the kind of quote towhich I’m referring and that cir-cles back around to where lastweek’s article ended. I Corinthians16:14.
Naturally I hope some of y’allread last week’s little gem of wis-doms here in The Green Hills Newsand looked up the bible reference,because when I was just a child ofseventeenish I saw these words ona small framed cross stitch in thewindow of Pauline’s gift shop inGlenwood, Minnesota. Glenwoodis a very small town, population3,000, which sits on the shores ofLake Minnewaska, a glacier lake,that runs 8 miles long by 3 mileswide - pretty big natural lake in thegrander scheme of things - particu-larly since Minnesota is the land ofTen Thousand Lakes. If you lookfor Glenwood on a map, it’s directlyacross Lake Minnewaska fromStarbuck, Minnesota. At night, Star-buck would glisten like the starsacross the ocean. But I digress.
And the bible verse on the crossstitch read, “Let All You Do BeDone with Love.” 1 Corinthians16:14.
So, there I was, sitting in myparent’s wood grained paneled 1969Silver Vista Cruiser, in which Igrew up and double dated inhigh school, down the street frommy Grandmother’s funeral home,when I saw that cross stitched Biblereference, and said to myself, “Howwonderfully simple is that”? It justseemed so right. Now at almost 68,truth be known, although that sim-
ple ideal has often been tough toexecute effectively over the years, Iwish more people had been insidethat Vista Cruiser with me, as I wassitting alone, way back then, to alsoexperience the wonder of thatBible verse, because I know some-how today the world would be a bet-ter place.
So, you are probably saying,“that’s all nice and perhaps fine”and also wondering when doesthe QuickBooks accounting stuffstart? That’s a great question andan even better way to lead into nextweek’s article. And to do so, may Ipose this question? Yes, I may.
The purpose of these bi-weeklyarticles is to help readers under-stand basic accounting principlesusing QuickBooks and gain a trueunderstanding, more importantlycontrol, of the financial aspects oftheir lives. The plan is to show peo-ple that basic financial insights aresimple, by using real world exam-ples, that everyone can understandand identify with – or should I say,with which they can identify? Yes, Ishould!
Oh, and I want the “knowledge”disseminated within these articlesto be fun and entertaining, hopeful-ly. Right? Not dull and intimidatinglike most accounting stuff and aca-demic courses. Capeesh?
If your home is worth, say$500,000 dollars, and your mortgageis say $300,000, what is the equity inyour home? My email address isa c c o u n t n e t i n c @ c o m c a s t . n e t .Anybody reading this article whoemails me the correct answer byFriday, 07/24/20, may win a fairlyfabulous prize. At least you will beentered into a drawing for dinnerat a great local steak house in BelleMeade and should you win, yourown way, transportation to andfrom, is your responsibility, but thetab will be covered up to $100 ….It’ll be a very nice evening, that I dopromise.
To close this week’s “blog”, myhope is that “Bookkeeping theBusiness of Life” will been fun,informative and not your typicalnewspaper opinion piece about thisor that. And, it would be very muchappreciated hearing from each ofyou, especially your thoughts,QuickBooks questions, and ideasabout how to make Nashville, andAmerica, the very best place in theworld to live. These are challengingtimes, and I’m guessing we all havegood ideas how to make things bet-ter, not only for us, our children,and grandchildren, but every gen-eration to come and now as well.

wrote a letter to Eustis andreceived a response 30 dayslater inviting him to see forhimself. Frank took a ship toEurope and trained extensivelywith a German Shepherd bredspecifically to lead a blind per-son. The training was hard. Butafter weeks with the dog, Frankcould get around a nearbySwiss village holding tightly toa harness to which Buddy wasstrapped.
Frank returned to Americawith a goal of spreading theword about seeing-eye dogs.From the day he got off theship, he made news. At onepoint, in front of a group ofdumbfounded reporters, Buddyled Frank safely across a busyNew York street. “She (Buddy)moved forward into the ear-splitting clangor, stopped,backed up, and started again,”Frank wrote in a 1957 bookcalled First Lady of the SeeingEye. “I lost all sense of direc-tion and surrendered myselfentirely to the dog. I shall neverforget the next three minutes,Ten-ton trucks rocketing past,cabs blowing their horns in ourears, drivers shouting at us . . .When we finally got to the otherside and I realized what a reallymagnificent job she had done, Ileaned over and gave Buddy agreat big hug.”
When Frank returned toNashville, people were amazedat the sight of the blind manand his dog navigating busysidewalks and couldn't believethat it was the same blind manthey had so recently taken pityon. "Now strangers spoke freelyto me," Frank wrote. “In the olddays, at a streetcar stop, forinstance, I often envied twosighted persons, who obviouslydid not know each other, theirease in striking up a conversa-tion . . . With Buddy there, how-ever, it was the easiest and most
natural thing in the world forthem to say, ‘What a lovely dogyou have!’”
What amazed people themost was that Buddy had anability best known as intelli-gent disobedience, whichmeant he would obey Morrisexcept when executing thatcommand would result in harmto his master. If there was a lowhanging branch ahead on thesidewalk, Buddy knew how tonavigate around it to the pointwhere Morris wouldn't bang hishead on it.
About this time, Frank co-founded The Seeing Eye, aninstitution set up to train guidedogs and their blind masters. Itoperated in Nashville for twoyears and then moved toMorristown, New Jersey (part-ly for climate reasons; theyfound it to be too hot inTennessee to train GermanShepherds year round.)
As Frank and Buddy trav-eled the nation, they alsoopened doors for blind people offuture generations. In that erathere were no laws thatrequired trains, hotels andrestaurants to allow seeing-eyedogs to gain entrance. Almoston a daily basis, Frank wouldgo into an establishment and betold that he couldn’t bring hisdog in. His canned response:“I’m not bringing her in; she’sbringing me in!” One time, arailroad porter followed Frankand Buddy to their seats andpreceded to try to drag Buddyback out. However, in the wordsof Frank, Buddy then showedthe porter her “beautifulteeth,” convincing him that itwas best to leave the dog alone.
When Buddy died in May1938, she was honored with along obituary in The New YorkTimes. “Buddy had appeared onhundreds of lecture platformsand barked in response toapplause; she had been receivedby Presidents Coolidge andHoover and other notables; andshe had been led into the homes
of poor among the blind andhad given them hope while theypatted her and fingered her har-ness,” the obituary said. Bythat time, The Seeing Eye hadtrained 350 dogs to lead blindpeople in America.
Today, the organization
reports on its web site(www.seeingeye.org) that it hastrained 17,000 dogs in its 90-year history. If you go to down-town Morristown, New Jersey,you will find a statue ofTennesseans Morris Frank andBuddy – in all likelihood the
only statue of a blind man andseeing-eye dog in the world.

Tips for starting a post-pandemic fitness routineFor the past few months, a great deal of people have become more sedentary than
usual due to stay-at-home sug-gestions. There are only somany forms of exercise onecan do in the confines of theirhome and poor mental healthhas resulted in a lack of moti-vation to stay active. All of thishas led to weight gain formany individuals, cleverlycoined “the COVID 19”. Associety is moving forward andpeople look to salvage the sum-mer, lots of people are lookingto get back into healthier rou-tines.
Chad Ramsey, owner of RowHouse Cool Springs in Frank-
lin has some tips for starting apost-pandemic fitness routine.
• Choose a low impactworkout- After months ofbeing sedentary, starting withlow impact exercise can pre-vent injuries from a suddenuptick in physical activity. Onthe flip side, if you’ve beendoing a lot of HIIT, runningand dance workouts at homebecause you don’t have equip-ment, low impact exercise willdo your body some good andpreserve the joints.
• Engage your full body-Without equipment at home, alot of people have neglected
working out parts of the bodylike shoulders, back, andbiceps. Now that gyms arereopening, a full-body workoutlike rowing or Pilates is a greatway to recruit up to 85% of thebody’s muscles and improveposture.
• Find a group class youenjoy- Not only are group fit-ness classes a safe optionbecause you stick to your ownspace and equipment for theentire duration, but having astrong community will keepyou motivated on your journeyto lose the “COVID 19.”

debris removal and powerrestoration.
Ernest and Sonya Pattonwho reside at 601 AtlantaDrive, have been selected asthe Tulip Grove July "Lawn ofthe Month winners.
They were very pleased toreceive the Lawn of the Monthaward and they said they havemore work to do but the facttheir neighbors noticed thehard work they have beendoing in their yard it suremeant a lot to them. They havelived at their beautiful homefor 16 years and have onedaughter, Destiney.
The past year was a hardyear for them due to a criticalpersonal health issue thatSonya had. It prevented themfrom doing much yard worklast summer as everyone wascaring for her. As she startedrecovering they also had somany hardships along the way.Not only has Sonya's care beenimportant but helping takecare of their aging parents andthe fact that Ernest's parentshome was destroyed in the tor-nados in March.
With all these trials theirhome and yard became some-what neglected. Covid19 camealong and being home all the
time brought this to theirattention as it has done tomany folks trying to make itthrough the current crisis.
They cut down bushes andtrees that were covering theirwindows and the home sud-
denly began a new transforma-tion.
After hours of weeding anddigging, they have plantedimpatiens, begonias, hostasand dianthus in the front yardand trimmed rose bushes that
were needing care. All theirflower beds were mulched withred mulch to match the housewhich turned out very welland helped enhance curbappeal.
They have planted new
flower beds on the side andback of their home and builtwood and stone edgers. In theback they have planted rosebushes, crepe myrtle bushes,celosia, impatiens, coleus,salvia, petunias and herbs.
They have planted newgrass seed on the side of theirhome and removed wild vinegrowing in the back yard thatwill be replaced with grassseed this fall.
They have manually laid200 bags of mulch so far, placednew solar lights in the frontand side of the home as well asbistro lights around theirswimming pool area. ThePatton's are grateful to beacknowledged for their effortsand hard work and just loveliving in the Tulip Groveneighborhood. Long-timeDistrict 12 NeighborhoodActivist, Hal Perry presentedthe award and several nicegifts that were donated by localHermitage merchants whocontinue to support the localBeautification promotion.

Would you recognize a scamor fraud scheme if you saw it?I am not sure you would. I sug-gest that most people areunaware of the duplicity thatis happening all over the coun-try. The reason that is true isdue to the lack of education.Scams are tempting because ofthe tight money market. Bewise, the by-word is “If itsounds too good to be true, itprobably is a scam and fraudu-lent.” “The Office of InspectorGeneral recognizes that we arefacing unprecedented timesand is alerting the publicabout potential fraud schemesrelated to economic stimulusprograms. True assistance isoffered by the U.S. SmallBusiness Administration inresponse to the Novel Corona-virus Pandemic (COVID-19).”The Coronavirus Aid, Relief,and Economic Security Act(CARES Act), is the largestfinancial assistance bill ever. Itincludes provisions to helpsmall businesses. Using falserepresentation, fraudsters havebegun targeting small busi-ness owners during these eco-nomically difficult times. Beon the lookout for “grantfraud, loan fraud, and phish-ing.” Let’s take a closer look atthe problem.
Beware, if you are contact-ed by someone promising to
get approval of an SBA loan,but requires any payment upfront or offers a high interestbridge loan in the interim, youshould suspect fraud. The SBAlimits the fees a broker cancharge a borrower to 3% forloans $50,000 or less and 2% forloans $50,000 to $1,000,000 withan additional ¼% on amountsover $1,000,000. Any attempt tocharge more than these fees isinappropriate and fraudulent.Be aware, if you have a ques-tion about getting an SBA dis-aster loan, call 800-659-2955 orsend an email to [email protected]. Infor-mation is available. Be wiseand if you have questionsabout other SBA lending prod-ucts, call SBA’s Answer Deskat 800-827-5722 or send an emailto [email protected].
Would you recognize “phish-ing” if you were contacted?Probably, you would not knowthe warning signs of phishing.Like fishing, a hook is allowedto dangle in the face of the“mark” and the entire presen-tation is a fraud. Look out forphishing attacks/ scams utiliz-ing the SBA logo. These maybe attempts to obtain your per-sonally identifiable informa-tion to obtain personal bank-ing access, or to install ransomware/malware on your com-puter.
If you are in the process ofapplying for an SBA loan andreceive email correspondenceasking for extraneous infor-mation, ensure that the refer-enced application number isconsistent with the actualapplication number withwhich you have been working.Any email communicationfrom SBA will come fromaccounts ending with sba.gov.Beware, logos can be copiedand skilled fraudsters can pre-pare a presentation with sta-tionery that looks authentic.The presence of an SBA logoon a webpage does not guaran-ty the information is accurateor endorsed by SBA. Pleasecross-reference any informa-tion you receive with informa-tion available at www. sba.gov.
If you receive any weirdaggressive information whileattempting to obtain a loanor other business assistance,report any suspected fraud toOIG’s Hotline at 800-767-0385 orhttps://www.sba.gov/abouts-ba/oversight-advocacy/office-inspector-g eneral/of f ice -inspector-general-hotline. Donot be fooled. It is better tobe overly couscous than tobe scammed. Remember, “If itsounds too good to be true, it ismost likely a scam or fraud.”
Recently, I have receivedtelephone calls indicating thatI must take some action or pos-sibly loose government bene-fits. The telephone identityscreen indicates, “Illegal Scam.”That is plain enough for me.

One important lesson I havelearned in life is: "No one canhurt my feelings, belittle me,insult me, or offend me, unless Ithink so little of myself that Iallow them to do so." Thinkabout that for a minute.Remember this next time youview one of the few remainingConfederate symbols. They arebut laughable reminders of thefoolish efforts of people inthe past who supported animmoral, unjust, and worthlessuprising that was doomed fromthe start and ended in a lostcause, and lives wasted for noth-ing. Laughable, not somethingby which to be offended.
My fellow Americans, weneed to stop viewing ourselvesas victims constantly in searchof ways to feel insulted. It'stime we stop looking for otherto blame for our situation andstart digging in, working hard,
and persisting in our individualbattles to better ourselves. It'stime to start living our lives tohelp others rather than greedilythinking only of ourselves. Ittime to stop looking for govern-ment handouts to solve ourproblems. Remember wherethese free handouts come from;they come from our tax dollars.The more handouts the more wewill be taxed to pay for themand as the money goes throughWashington we get back only asmall percentage of what we
sent there. There are powers at work in
our country determined todestroy the U.S.A. from within.They are finding success tosome degree. The recent pro-tests, demonstrations, and riots,although justified in their ori-gins, have played right into thehands of these adverse powers.They have worked to furtherdivide us rather than unify usas the American people. This isexactly what these powers haveworked to make happen as theyhire individuals to insight riotsbased in these peaceful protests.Wake up to what is happeningto our beloved country. It istime to unite against thereforces and not drive a wedgebetween various groups of ourpeople It is time to stop beingoffended by every little thing wecan find or dream up. Havebackbone and stop allowingyourself to be offended. Thereare many basic principals oflife here to consider. Please doconsider them.
Presentism explainedPresentism is defined as the
use of present-day ideas,morals, and perspectives fordepicting or interpreting thepast. Modern historians tendto avoid presentism judgementcalls, for good reason, becausethey consider it subjective as aform of cultural bias, and canlead to distortion of the under-standing of the subject matter.When the average citizendesires the fuller story, it cer-tainly does distort, especiallyif that average citizen alreadyhas their mind made up andseeks definitive conclusionabout whatever they're seek-ing.
Bars calling themselvesrestaurants
Bars have been categorizedas super spreader environ-ments for Covid-19 spread byalmost all doctors and healthofficials. I was excited whenMayor Cooper issued a mandateto close all bars starting July3rd. I do not know about thebars in other parts of Nashvillebut to my knowledge only one ofthe four bars in Green Hills hasclosed. I did some investigationof my own as to why these barsremain open and some stayopen until 3 in the morning.Apparently, if they sell food inany context, they are consid-ered a restaurant, even if thatfood is a bag of potato chips.One of the bars in Green Hillsthat remains open does not evenhave a functioning kitchen. Iknow a bar when I see onewhether it is a sports bar ordive bar. I would call on MayorCooper to put some teeth inhis mandate, protect allNashvillians, and make sure allbars are really closed until weget this Covid-19 under control.Let's quit playing games onwhat a bar is and what a restau-rant is. Wear your masks, stayout of bars, and let's beat thisvirus.
A fuller story can notbe told by omittingpertinent details
I too am a regular reader andobserver of what my fellowTennesseans feel and thinkabout our great State. I haveread over three articles submit-ted concerning black lives mat-ter and the bad history then andbad history now opine, and haveto speak. I get the reasoningbehind black lives matter, andhow sensitive and heart-felt theconversation is and the effort toadvocate for calling attention toequal justice. The death ofGeorge Floyd was horrendous,and should never have hap-pened that way to him, and oth-ers who were dealt excessiveforce. This stand off betweenthe black lives matter crowdand all lives matter crowd wantvirtually the same thing—every human deserves equaljustice and less fear of law
enforcement officers who sworean oath to protect and serve.The black lives matter sideimplies equal treatment thatapplies to all people color andnothing less than that, which iswell understood and is support-ed by a higher proportion ofpeople of color affected. The alllives matter side understandsthat too, but they merely wantto make sure that you can't takeaway justice, money, and oppor-tunities, or throw up obstaclesto one side just to appease theother. That wasn't Dr. King'sthoughts for equality, which allpeople mattered, no matterwhat the color or background.
The origin of black lives mat-ter is clear, and lots of videoproof abounds demonstratinginjustice. So what does the "alllives matter" mean? It trulymeans that everyone's life mat-ters, always has and alwayswill. This statement does not inany way take away from theblack lives matter side, so don'ttake offense to it, and this goesfor both sides.
Now, does American historyhave a lot of blemishes? Yes itdoes. From slavery to second-class citizenry with Jim Crowand segregation, laws werewritten and enforced to depriveand keep separate groups ofpeople boxed up and limited.Plenty of the "average joe's andjane's" who lived with statusquo during those times ques-tioned it yet did not attempt tocall for immediate change sim-ply because they didn't have thepower or money to stand up tothe powerful and demandchange. Can you fault all thesepeople for not sticking up fortheir neighbors when it reallymattered? Lots of people stillshowed kindness to their neigh-bors, and we have read abouttheir Samaritan ways through-out our Nation's history.However, many of these peopleknew the consequences if theydid speak out—loss of their jobsand lifestyles, homes and busi-nesses destroyed, intimidation,getting outcast in their commu-nity, or even worse conse-quences.
There's plenty of storieswhere people still dared tochange, and either they gottheir way, or they failed. Mostof the Founding Father's, oncethey dared to speak out againstthe British Crown, either werekilled, homes and lifestylesdestroyed, jailed, and so on. Wasit worth it to them (we'rereminded of every 4th of Julythe risk they took to speak up.)?
To those Samaritan citizensthroughout American history,all lives really did matter. What

period of our country's historyyou ask did all lives matter—just take your pick. Within ourNation's 220-something yearhistory, women, people of color,waves of immigrants, nativeAmericans, catholics, protes-tants, homosexuals, agnostics,etc., etc., have experienceddegrees of oppression andhatred. Plenty of peoplestepped up to fight for thosebeing oppressed, and manytimes it was not a pleasantexperience for the brave atheart. Each of these categoriesof people were treated horriblyby others nonetheless, but theroad to equality for all has beena work in progress and will con-tinue to be progress for years tocome.
As for the movement toremove names, statues, and dis-couragement of words andphrases because they implyapparent hatred racial superi-ority and suppressing the folksmentioned above—to the readerplease remember this: the stat-ues were done so predominant-ly by private organizations (andwith years of donations) for avalid purpose to them—eitherrespect for the dead, identifyingthe leadership and Americanknow-how to take on the diffi-cult or impossible, or other con-tributions relative to theAmerican values. Everyonereading this has their own defi-nition of 'American value', sobe my guest and ponder that. Ibet it's not that far off fromwhat I think—everyone comesto America to achieve theirdream. You're either a Can-do,or Can-not kind of person.Even during the harder, darkertimes in American history,there are plenty of notable peo-ple who overcame adversityand opposition and found a wayto Do! Americans should neversquander that notion.
As the general bystander orpedestrian judging something'svalue, similar to a piece of art--you either get it or you don't. Ifyou want to see more variety ofnames, statues, etc., then startraising money now to hire thearchitect, build it, and then ded-icate it (statues don't comecheap!) There's plenty of greenspace to erect them, which Ipersonally don't mind at all ifyou select a space right next tosomething you don't like. Bothare history, and both tell a story.You can't tell the fuller story byomitting pertinent details, oth-erwise you're not telling thefuller story.
Truth about Black LivesMatter
Dear Editors and people at
large. I've read several timeshistory repeats itself. If our oldhistory is wiped out no one canlearn from mistakes made andhistory will come back. This iswhat Black Lives Matter andradicals are doing by destroy-ing property, killing people andtearing down statues of History.These radicals know that theywill never be a bust or a statuemade of them. Destroy free-doms and liberties, history andcountry where these thingsreside to change our govern-ments into having completecontrol and it's the same as slav-ery. Slaves in this country didnot have any bills to pay. Noworries about living becausethe owners paid for it all. Thisis what you people stand for.Think about kind of govern-ment you want that takesalmost all bucks made and givesyou the medical care they wantyou to have not what you need.They will give you the food thatthey want you to have and tellyou where to work and howlong. If you don't work you dis-appear and never heard ofagain. Black Lives Matter andradicals just don't know, todumb to care, almost to late fora turn around. What you wantis going toward slavery at arapid pace. You guys yell, thatyou want it to be equal for all.Well how about BLM and youradicals paying your way inAmerica. That would helpequal things up a little bit.America only tax portions ofyour earnings to run the gov-ernment. What BLM andRadical Trash are giving up isworth million more than whatcomes from the ideal govern-ments BLM refers to. Have youguys ever heard of China?Protesting and tearing downstatues will get you killed. Youshould think that you areblessed to be here an American.Anyone that says they areoffended, sadden, have remorseor feelings or this statuesreminds me of are just plainlairs. If they had known slavesand spent time with themshared things with them itmight be feasible to think likethat. Have you ever heard of acountry giving everyone a pen-sion where everything is free. Ihave not. It is a bubble of dumb-ness wrapped around yourheads and it's not a dream, justdumbness. Dumbness is worstthan stupid. Why is it no onehas a story that slaves weretaken good care of with food,clothes, medical care, warmhouse and in some cases werelike family. I've read severalbooks and stories about thishappening in the South. Why is
there just one side of the story,because it fits BLM and radi-cals agenda? It's really sicken-ing to hear about slavery everytime a statue is referred to. Weare living in a different timenow and our generation of peo-ple do not owe or have a debt topay for past generations. Thepast has paid there debt withlife because they are dead.Anyone that says that offendsme, sadden me, that remindsme is a lying sack of trash that'slooking for something for freeand if not will steal it. Theseliberal radicals are just dumband show it at every protest.There is nothing of the slaveera that would offend anyone ofthis radical movement. Socialjustice, there is no such thing.It's all made up this like itoffends me. Social Justice toBLM means that they want youto give them something for freeso they do not have to work andbe responsible people. Neverhappen, go to work. We the peo-ple owe you people of protestnothing.
All lives matterI do not like it that it is just
Black Lives Matter. No, AllLives Matter. When an incidenthappens, we should investigateboth sides. Recommend changesboth ways. Why did it happen?Look at the chain of events.
Try to live a life that is pleas-ing to others. Count your bless-ings. Love your neighbors asyourself.
Black Lives MatterFor those of you out there
who love to counter Black LivesMatter by saying All LivesMatter. Please understand thatwhile Yes, All lives do matter. Inthis climate. At this time we arefocusing on and highlightingblack lives. Because black livesare most in danger of beingtaken due to racism, prejudiceand profiling. As the biblicalscripture goes there are 100sheep, but one goes missing.Jesus leaves the 99 and goesafter the one. The 99: But...whatabout us? Dont we matter" Ofcourse the 99 still matter, butthey're not the ones in danger.The one is (think about that)Black Lives Matter.
Stop being racistBlack Lives Matter is all
about changing others. Theblacks need to stop being racist.Be an American, not an AfricanAmerican. Integrate. Stop hav-ing separate black organiza-tions and awards programs. Asfar as the law goes, obey it.
College sports I'm happy instead of being
ticked off because colleges,some of are wising up not tohave sports any more. Stanfordcutting out 11 sports from newsflash. This very thing shouldhappen to public schools.Parents that do not have ath-letes are not getting their shareof tax money spent on theirchildren for their education.Children that are athletes havebeen passed on from grade tograde every since I can remem-ber because of their size andability to play sports. We taxpayers are paying to much taxmoney supporting this noneeducation idea. High schoolsand middle schools cost ofbuildings, upkeep, coaches is anastronomical amount of money.What does it teach nothing butlies. There can be three playersfrom each team on the floorwhen the ball goes out ofbounds and both teams pointsthat it's their ball. “Liar, liarpants on fire.” Three of themlied, which three are liars? Thiscould be exactly what we needto get cost of public educationback in line. I know it will makethe universities very mad
because high school sports arefarm teams for them at no cost.Just like universities are farmteams for the pro's. Universitiesand Pro teams getting playerswithout spending a dime ontraining the athlete. If thistakes place across the board,Black Lives Matter will haveanother thing to scream about.The largest amount of thismoney that's spent on sports,that is right it's spent on blackathletes. So rename teams,want stand for NationalAnthem, and slam your coun-try for giving you money fortraining in schools of choice.Just think most of this moneywhich is tax money is paid bywhite people. Get the numbersof working black people whichare only 13 % of population andyou will see white people andthe diversities are paying theway. It's time to say if you wantto play sports in high school orcollege then you parents withchildren athletes pay your way.What is sports, just entertain-ment.

Why do some businesses fail when others succeeded? It’s simple! If you’re out ofsight and not visible to the consumer, that’s the first step toward failure. The secondstep is being out of mind, in other words the consumer very seldom or maybe neverthinks of you when they need your product or service. In a large number of cases, thesetwo steps lead to the third step...out of business.
A good way to be visible and in the mind of the consumer is to have an advertisingprogram that gets results and fits your budget.
Most businesses carry insurance in case of a fire, a burglary, or if someone slips andfalls in your store. Why not build your business and insure it against a future loss ofbusiness by starting an advertising program that gets results. If you have the product orservice the consumer wants, we can help you build your business.
We publish 8 newspapers in Nashville-Davidson County, give us a call and let us writeyou an advertising prescription that will get you results.
