To the graduates

Graduation time is here.  Whether you or your child (friend/relative/whatever) is graduating from high school or college, I want to say congratulations.  This is an awesome accomplishment.  Your hard work has brought you to this point and you deserve the praise and accolades. But, guess what…it doesn’t stop here.  Your next stop after this is a big one, no matter what path you choose.  You may be leaving high school on your way to college in the fall, or in to the workforce.  You may have obtained a degree at the university and you are considering another or what you…

We Need Good Homes

A very sweet, compassionate person I know who lives in this city was recently displaced from her home of 18 years.  She was able to find a new place to live, but it doesn’t allow pets.  She has three dogs she would desperately like to find new homes for rather than taking them to P.A.W.S. where their future would be uncertain at best, euthanized at worst.  She has already contacted all the local no-kill shelters and they are all full or will not return her call. Can you help?  Would you be interested in adopting one of these?  They are labrador/rottweiler mix.…

Let the Children Play

I don’t know about you but I welcome this beautiful weather with open arms.  It was a fabulous weekend to get out and play!!!  I hope you were able to get out and enjoy it as much as possible. With the nicer weather we will see more children out playing.  As we have the smartest readers on the planet, I know you all realize we need to be extra careful when driving through our kid filled neighborhoods.  Our kids could be riding their bikes, playing ball or running around playing tag (do kids still do that?) One important thing to…

Stormy Weather

With severe weather in the forecast and it being that time of year again, I thought it would be great to put together some information for everyone.  I had a chance to talk with Richard Long. He has served as the Weather Coordinator for Box 100 here in La Vergne for the last 4 years. Box 100 is a non-profit all volunteer organization who assists the La Vergne Fire Department and other city emergency responders during emergencies. Theresa: Rich you are the Weather Coordinator for Box 100. What does that mean exactly? Rich: The job in Box 100 I volunteered…

Saturday Op Ed… Perpetuating the Stigma

Saturday Op Ed… Perpetuating the Stigma

This is a somewhat difficult piece to write because it is about us. LaVergne. Freedom of speech. Yet here we are. I read with great interest last week several news items from local media. And I had to shake my head at the ferocity in which our city and city officials were attacked. To recap:  In a newspaper with circulation of probably 10,000, maybe 20,000, one of our aldermen said the city spends like “drunken sailors.” The mayor on her facebook page with about 200 friends* said the alderman was an “embarrassment” to the city. The editorial that followed (plastered…

Has Spring Finally Sprung?

Opening Day

What a dreadful winter, especially in light of its endless dreariness.  While we can easily point our fingers in disdain at Punxatawney Phil, we know he really is just an easy target to blame for our unhappiness. The truth of the matter is, winter was just tenacious. The season of gray skies and forests of brown branches just didn’t want to let go. But this weekend has been simply glorious! Sunny sky, warm temperatures!  And trees are blooming EVERYWHERE (sending my regrets to allergy sufferers who are being clobbered!). Has spring finally sprung? Spring usually also heralds the beginning of…
