Ace Hardware begins 25th year
EIGHT PAGES
Commissioners hire
independent attorney
by Susan Morrison
In March 1991, Ace Hardware opened it's doors in Mt.
Pleasant by the late Bobbie
and Drewey Keener. Located at 307 First Avenue, Mt.
Pleasant and has remained in
the same location for 24 years.
Jay Smith, the grandson of
the Keener's began working
with his grandparents when
he was sixteen years old and
is now the owner of the store
keeping it a family owned
business. Working with Smith
are employees Douglas Marshall, Gilbert Marshall, David
Workman and Roger Jones.
The friendly atmosphere is
one that is immediately recognized upon entering the store
by being greeted by employees who are ready to help in
getting the items needed.
Smith said, "This is all I have
ever known and I hope that I
can retire here". Ace Hardware
has a large variety of items
from Case pocket knives,
plumbing and electrical supplies, paints and pet supplies,
canning supplies to swimming
pool supplies. When asked
what would be considered and
unusual item that Ace Hardware Keeps on hand, Smith
said, "I guess that would be
the chrome bolts that motorcycle riders use. Those can be
found at bike shops, but one
man told us that we are the
only hardware store in Maury
County that has them." Smith realizes that Lowe's
isn't very far from Mt. Pleasant, but he knows that most
of the time a customer can get
most of what they need from
Ace Hardware without having to fight the traffic, traffic
lights and the larger store and
to have the convenience of being able to get what they need
quicker. "Most of the time it
takes 2 hours to go to Lowe's
and back, customers appreciate having something close by
without fighting all the traffic." He went on to say the has
has some customers who live
in Lawrenceburg, that work in
Columbia, so they will stop in
to pick up their pool supplies
on their way home. "We have
several customers who come
from Pulaski, Lawrenceburg,
Campbellsville, Hampshire
and other surrounding communities", said Smith. Ace Hardware tries to accommodate customers as much
as possible, even staying late
if necessary. Smith said they
understand when someone is
working on a project and realize they need an item only to
find it is nearly closing time.
Smith said, "If a customer
calls us we try to help them as
much as possible."
Ace Hardware of Mt. Pleasant's hours are Monday
through Friday, 7:00 A.M.
until 5:00 P.M. and on Saturday from 8:00 A.M. until 5:00
P.M. Their phone number is
931-379-7730.
The
city
commissioners
voted to hire the law firm of
Henry, Henry and Underwood
of Pulaski, Tennessee to investigate the complaint filed by City
Manager Michelle Williams alleging sexual discrimination by
Mayor Bob Shackleford. During
the study session the week prior
to the commissioner's meeting,
Commissioner's Vestal and Blankenship provided names and information of several attorneys.
The commissioners were each
given the information to help
them in making a decision as to
whom they would want to hire.
Along with the background and
experience of the list of attorneys
were the fees the attorneys would
charge the city. The fees for the
attorney hired is between $250
and $395 per hour. The commissioners had been advised by city
attorney Tom Hardin to hire an
independent attorney when he
had informed them of the complaint. The commissioners had
a specific amount of time given
to hire an attorney to begin the
investigation into the validity of
these allegations. Commissioner George Vestal
addressed the the meeting concerning the recent video of he
and Mayor Shackleford by Commissioner Ricky Frazier on his
Officials on the scene of a massive fire at a Mt. Pleasant home Tuesday, March
31 around 8:50 am. The home is located on North Main Street, across the road
from 2nd Avenue, that was originally built in the late 1700s. Crews from The Mt.
Pleasant Fire Department, the Maury County Fire Department, Columbia Fire
Department, Maury Regional EMS, the Mt. Pleasant Police Department, Mt.
Pleasant Power System, City of Mt. Pleasant Utilities and the American Red
Cross battled the massive fire. There were no reports of any injuries to civilians
or to responders. One resident did loose a cat and had another cat taken to the
vet for treatment. At this time the fire is currently under investigation.
Facebook account. Vestal stated
it was "a vicious attack on my
character. A rush to judgement
caused a burst of activity on a Facebook video, contrary to act or
truth". He then held up and issue
of the Columbia Daily Herald,
dated March 5, 2015, with the
headline "No Sunshine Law Violation". He went on to say that not
one of the people involved with
it has said "I was wrong or that
I acted to quickly" and that "by
not admitting this, that they were
wrong shows their intent, which
speaks volumes". Vestal went on
to thank the many citizens who
"did not fall for this low, low ball
character assassination".
Commissioner Frazier responded to Vestals comments in
saying he requested and posted
the video. "For the last 3 years,
my name has pretty much been
shattered also, tried to be shattered. My name ain't shattered
because the folks in Mt. Pleasant
know who I am, they know what
I represent, they know my integrity they know what I do", said
Frazier.
Frazier also commented that in
his opinion the scheduling of a
meeting at 2:00 in the afternoon
was "because they did not want
the public to attend". "They have
every right to be here, they have
a right to their opinion".
Vestal commented that Frazier
had stated that his legal counsel
had given him permission to post
the video on Facebook.
Frazier replied, "Nope, no sir. I
asked for that".
In the article published in the
Columbia Daily Herald, it says
"Frazier said he posted the video
after seeking a legal advice and
his counsel told him he could release it".
Commissioner Delores Blankenship also commented that she
had spoken to legal counsel in regards to the release of the video.
Vestal said that as a result of
the video being posted there was
an "assassination of my character because of the comments that
were made".
Blankenship replied, "that's
freedom of speech".
The most basic component of
freedom of expression is the right
of freedom of speech. The right
to freedom of speech allows individuals to express themselves
without interference or constraint
by the government.

Food for Thought. . .
Matthew 24: 21-22
1. Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples
came up to him to call his attention to its buildings.
2. “Do you see all these things?” He asked. “Truly I tell you, not one
stone here will be left on another; everyone will be thrown down.”
3. As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came
to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and
what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”
4. Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.
5. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’
and will deceive many.
6. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are
not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
7. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
8. All these are the beginning of birth pains.
We are living in the final generations, full of deceivers and a generation intent on designing God in their own image instead of living
as God’s chosen in his image. God is God, he has not and will not
change. We have all heard and been warned, these are things that

not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
It’s imperative that we ourselves live ready every hour for the end

Hello from MPES! We hope
that you all are doing well! Despite the craziness of our schedules due to winter weather, we are
working hard and accomplishing
a lot! We would like to thank all
of our community who helped
to make our celebration of Read
Across America Day a HuGe success on Monday, March 2, 2015.
We had pajama day, special projects, and best of all lots of reading! Most classrooms had at least
one guest reader and some had
them every hour! Our day was
completed with a Family Night.
Our PTO served chili and fixings,
and our faculty and staff offered
great stories and activities. It was
fun for all and a wonderful way
to end a special day.
Our front office would like to
remind you all that Spring Pictures are on Wednesday, March
8, 2015. Students may wear their
favorite spring outfit on this day.
Don’t forget to order your 20142015 yearbook. They are on sale
now. The last day to order is
Thursday, March 26, 2015.
Let’s check out the great things
that are happening in each grade
level. In PreK, the annual Nursery Rhyme parade was held on
Wednesday, March 11, 2015. We
saw Jack and Jill, Little Bo Peep
and even Three Blind Mice in our
halls. The students have done a
great job learning and reciting
these rhymes. They are beginning a new unit on weather. They
should be able to see lots of examples with the way our weather
patterns have been lately. Our
Kindergarten friends are working
on letter naming fluency, adding
and subtracting and decomposing numbers 11-20. First graders have finished their study of
famous African Americans during Black History Month. They
were surprised that some of these
people are still alive today. They
are reading both nonfiction and
fiction passages while working
on drawing conclusions. Mrs.
Allison Kittrell’s second grade
class is studying magnets. They
are reading nonfiction books, experimenting, and writing about
their findings. I bet the “attraction” to this information is great!
Third graders have studied polygons the past few weeks. What
would you have if an octopus lost
2 of its arms? A hexapus! They
have studied the weather, tools to
measure the weather, and clouds.
We all should be hoping for large
amounts of cumulus clouds they
say. Finally, 4th graders are
working on light energy. They
have worked on measurement and
have written opinion pieces. All
in all, it has been a great month of
learning at MPES!
I leave you with a reminder to
send in PENNIES for the penny
drive. For more info contact our
front office!

It is that time of year to switch
our time pieces that will, seemingly, gives us more time to
achieve goals. When gaining an

some of the ways the soldier found
relief from the battles.
