Volunteers lined up at the Kountry Kitchen last Sunday April 29, 2007. Kountry Kitchen formally owned by Laurie Morgan now owned by Stan Marlar. The restaurant is located at Old Hickory Blvd and I 24 near White House, TN.
The meeting was centered around what Councilman-At-Large mayor elect Norman "Buck" Dozier would like to see happen in Nashville, TN as well as what volunteers could do to get involved.
Some of the first words spoken were education! He said that Davidson county schools were in disarray; the system is broken. By the time youngsters reach the 7th grade their parents are putting them in private schools or moving to surrounding counties.
One of the points covered concerning our schools is he remembers a time when police wasn't needed in Davidson County schools and would like to do something about that. Raising kids in a good and moral environment is key. The kids are running the show he says.
Buck wants to make Nashville, TN "SAFEST CITY IN AMERICA." Some of the issues talked about were preparedness: a fully-staffed police & fire, joint & seemless police/fire/sheriff/OEM team communication, private business partnerships.
Also safety on a different level by way of prevention: curbing illegal immigration, furthering after school programs, education endowment providing music & health programs for public schools whereby deterring juvenile crime, etc.
One other comment I would like to post is he said that truth is missing in government. Political correctness is always used and he would like for truth to be heard for a change.
"Some of the best lessons we ever learn, we learn from our mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future."
