GREEN HILLS DRU’S VUES, TOO Page 2 NEWS VOLUME 27 Page 5 NUMBER 8 FEBRUARY 19, 2015 Area hotels extend hospitality to snowbound tourists, locals Tiffany L. Dale Staff Writer Hotels across the mid-state have been working with skeleton crews since Monday’s winter storm. With high temperatures in the coming days not expected above freezing, many managers are preparing for the situation to continue through the end of the week. With most flights in and out of Nashville International Airport cancelled, many visitors found themselves stranded; they joined locals who lost power during the storm. The influx of guests was complicated by staffs strained by call-outs from employees who couldn’t make it into work. For those who did report 4-DAY FORECAST WHAT’S WRONG? to work, this meant adding other duties to their job descriptions: managers preparing breakfast and executives rolling up their sleeves to clean rooms has been the norm over the last couple of days. “It’s all hands on deck,” said Lisa Blaustone, sales director at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Green Hills, who said she cleaned about a dozen rooms and served cold cuts to stranded guests Monday night. “You can’t be afraid to get your hands dirty.” Hampton Inn’s regional manager Gaylon Shockely said he doesn’t think sales numbers will be affected much by reservation requests.

He said the hotel was ready for the unexpected, including a stranded motorist who walked from I-440 after his vehicle became stuck on the icy roadway. He slept in the hotel’s breakfast area overnight. “We’re really just focused on taking care of the guests,” Shockely said. Nashville Mayor Karl Dean urged people to avoid travel when possible. Gov.

He was 76. A Nashville native, Robert Oliver Frensley was born Jan. 7, 1939 to the late Effie Miller and Thomas Frensley III. He attended local parochial schools before graduating from Father Ryan High School in 1957. His love for cars began at an early age. He raced his 1956 Chevrolet on the Union Hill Dragstrip, earning his spot as a national number one driver and the nickname “King of the Hill.” Though he began his career as a Genesco shoe salesman, his life’s work was cars. He was a standout salesperson at Nashville’s Capital Chevrolet before being offered his first dealership by the Ford Motor Company in 1965. After five years at that Louisville, KY location, he opened Bob Frensley Ford "Home of the SUPERDEALER" Nashville in 1970. Bob Frensley Ford enjoyed the top spot among area dealerships for years. He later owned several other automobile franchises, including Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Suzuki, Isuzu, Volkswagen, Lincoln Mercury, Subaru and Jeep. Frensley ran his business by the Golden Rule and applied the motto, “enter as a stranger, leave as a friend.” Online condolences describe him as an “astute businessman” who “put people first” and “always treated employees as family.” Former employee Carla Hagewood remembered a man with “a huge heart for children, community and God.” Sat. 2/21 Rain: 100% 47ºF 39ºF Robert (Bob) Frensley Though he built his reputation around cars, he leaves other legacies in the Nashville area as well. A Tennessee National Guard captain, he also served on the Municipal Auditorium Commission and brought his love of golf to the Metro Parks Board. He was credited with helping improve the city’s public golf courses through numerous fund-raising tournaments. An avid player, he participated in many of these tournaments and was known to build his own clubs. He is survived by his wife Kaye Duke Frensley; daughters Sharon (Kelly) Potter, Tracey Anderson, Jennifer (Jeff) Webb; stepson, Don (Janet) Duke; 12 grandchildren, four greatgrandchildren and several nieces and nephews.

Die with Dignity: John Jay Hooker, at 84, is in the limelight again, fighting for us all as always. This time the struggle is to have the right to die with dignity. Sadly, for Hooker and his family, this fight is very personal one. He faces a metastasized stage IV melanoma with a short timeline. Sen. Sara Kyle, D-Memphis and Rep. Craig Fitzhugh, DRipley have, at Hooker's request, filed Die with Dignity bills for introduction in their respective chambers. A Southern aristocrat, Hooker is directly descended from William Blount who signed the U.S. Constitution then later presided over Tennessee’s Constitutional Convention. Defending these constitutional principles Hooker was, recently, a litigant against the “Tennessee Plan” allowing state appellate justices to remain in office via retention elections rather than contested ones the state Constitution seems to require, albeit ambiguously. He lost this fight at the ballot box, as he has many others.

Although sightings tend fluctuate from year to year, and have seemed to dissipate in recent years, that number seems to be on the rise once again. Coyotes are mainly nocturnal, dog-like animals with pointy ears and course fur. While they can sometimes be confused with dogs their slinky, cautious movements and mournful howl help distinguish the two creatures. “This is not a new thing. We’ve been having coyote sightings for the last two or three years,” says District 15 Councilman Phil Claiborne. “We have a lot of open land.” All the open acreage, wooded areas and stone – which are popular places for coyotes to build dens – make the Hermitage and Donelson area natural habitats for coyotes to live and breed according to Claiborne. Many people fear that they or their children might be the object of a coyote attack, but statistics show that is very unlikely. The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) says “in recorded history only 30 coyote attacks on humans have been recorded. Three million children are bitten by dogs each year, making a child millions of times more likely to get attacked by the family pet than a coyote.” The Humane Society of the United States also confirms the unlikelihood of coyote attacks on humans. According to their website, “more people are killed by errant golf balls and flying champagne corks each year than are bitten by coyotes.” “Coyotes are not an offensive animal, they are normally defensive,” said Claiborne. “They are more afraid of you, than you are of them.” While people need not fear getting bitten, small pets such as dogs or cats, are often target by coyotes. It’s important for homeowners to know what to do if they happen to encounter a coyote to ensure the safety of them and their pets. First things first, never run away from a coyote. Make yourself as big as possible, waving your arms and making as much loud noise as possible. The Humane Society also recommends using noisemakers such as pots and pans clanged together or soda cans filled with pennies to “haze” the animal. Spraying the coyote with a garden hose, squirt gun or throwing rocks and sticks, are also effective hazing tools. Doug Markham of TWRA said the best thing a homeowner can do is make the area as uncomfortable as possible. “They’re here to stay and we’re going to be living with them here on out so the best thing to do is to have good home practices,” said Markham. Most often coyotes enter urban areas seeking food. Homeowners should remove any and all types of food that have been left outside, including food for domestic pets, to detour coyotes from their homes. “A lot of it is common sense kinds of things. Don’t throw your scrapes out and make it inviting for coyotes to stop by,” said Claiborne. “If there’s no food around then coyotes are not going to come to where you are. If you’re keeping food out for pets then you’re keeping food out for whatever else is out there.” Taxi cab passenger fatally injured in crash Failure to yield on the part of a Nashville cab driver appears to be the contributing factor in this afternoon’s twovehicle collision at the intersection of Mt. Pisgah Road and Ravens Glen in South Nashville that claimed the life of one of the cab’s passengers. The deceased is identified as Ronald Evans, 57, of Evansville, Indiana. He was one of seven persons in the taxi minivan and was seated on the left side of the third row. Evans died at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The cab driver, Nur H. Amdashe, 46, is in noncritical condition at Vanderbilt. He was the only person in the taxi wearing a seatbelt. It’s also very important to keep a close eye on small pets and not let them wander around unattended. Make sure pets are kept on a leash while taking walks through neighborhood or parks. Cats should be kept indoors, especially at night time. In the state of Tennessee, Coyotes are considered wild life and are not protected, so they can be hunted all year round says Claiborne. But while it’s legal to hunt coyotes yearround, research shows that this may not be the best way to deal with coyotes in urban areas. Research documented by the Humane Society shows that when coyotes sense their species is endanger of being wiped out they begin breeding younger and tend to have larger litters with higher survival rates. If 75 percent of the coyote population was killed each year, for 50 years, the entire population would still not be wiped out according to the research. There are several resources available to the public for edu- cation and assistance with coyotes. Warner Park and Metro Animal Control provide videos and information on coyote awareness. Ellington Agricultural Center, All Paws Wildlife Removal and Critter Catchers provide assistance with humane trapping. It’s important when setting traps to keep small animals and children clear of devices. It seems that coyotes will continue to be a permanent part of the Tennessee landscape, but with a little information and preparation, homeworkers and their pets will be able to co-exist without worry.

Thompson Contributor to The News Our attractive entrances to Bellevue on Highway 70-South reveal that Bellevue was founded in the year 1795. Travelers, explorers, and settlers were entering our Bellevue area even before Tennessee was admitted as a state in 1796. According to Bellevue's Doug Underwood's writing, A History of Bellevue and Surrounding Areas, it states that by 1795, a man named John Davis, a surveyor, had built a home on the Big Harpeth River, and a French Huguenot veteran of the American Revolutionary War, by the name of Abraham DeMoss, built a home that is still remembered in the name of the community, Belle Vue. This two-story log structure stood on a hill above today's Morton Mill Road over-looking the beauty of the scenic Harpeth River. DeMoss constructed a saw mill, a gristmill, and a blacksmith shop in Bellevue. Both John Davis and Abraham DeMoss were the heads of what became important pioneer families of the area. When our family moved to Bellevue from Nashville, old Belle Vue was very much dilapidated. However, some very thoughtful and far-sighted citizens made the decision to store the wood, and many original parts of the home, to later reconstruct old “Belle Vue.” The Harpeth Bellevue Historical Association took upon itself to complete the job. Today, the reconstructed original Belle Vue, home of De Moss, stands in our Red Caboose Park for all citizens to see and enjoy the local history. The second DeMoss home, plus some later additions, was built on what is now Old Harding Road which we can see as we drive west just before crossing the railroad tracks. The original log part of the house was built about 1818 by Abraham DeMoss. DeMoss and numerous other early settlers are buried in a lit- tle graveyard on a knoll overlooking the Harpeth River in River Plantation. We can see it by driving west down to the end of Todd Pries Road off of Sawyer Brown Road in River Plantation. John Davis served in the Revolutionary War, then left his home in Pasquotank, North Carolina, to come to the banks of the Harpeth River to establish a distinguished line of descendants. His sister married the oldest son of General James Robertson, founder of Nashville. A daughter of this marriage married Edward Hicks. At one time, Ed Hicks owned much of what is today downtown Bellevue. Over the years, we have seen Bellevue evolve from “out in the country” to a well-developed and desirable residential community with businesses including restaurants, office parks, entertainment, churches, industry, beautiful flowers, and as always, great Southern hospitality. inviting for coyotes to stop by,” Claiborne says. “If there’s no food around then coyotes are not going to come to where you are.

RARE VACANCY IN INDEPENDENT LIVING • Hermitage She4131 Andrew Jackson Parkway Volunteer toda Call: (615) 885-9989 needs a mentor. with Page 4- The News, February 19, 2015 Metro/State Commentary By Horace Johns, MTSU Business Professor Former Metro Councilman Who will win the Republican presidential nomination? It is too early to predict who will win the crowded candidate field for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination. Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind is how desperate most Republicans and independents feel about being rid of Barack Obama and the destruction they perceive he continues to commit as president. Consequently, though positions the candidates take will matter, agreeing with a potential nominee is less important than deciding whether he or she can win. We can expect Republicans to be willing to compromise on their various ideologies in order to nominate a winner. The field of GOP candidates is varied, but considerably strong. Jeb Bush, Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie, and John Kasich all have noteworthy records as governors, while Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Rick Santorum have stood out as senators. Out of this large field, Governor Walker of Wisconsin appears the most likely to be able to unite the GOP factions. He appeals equally to the GOP establishment and the Tea Party/evangelicals. The other candidates are “pigeon-holed” into one or the other slot. Jeb Bush’s record in Florida once made him attractive to conservatives, but his recent strong support for immigration amnesty and the Common Core educational curriculum has cast doubt on his conservative credentials. Although Christie appeals to the GOP establishment, he has never been cozy with conservatives. Cruz’s fiery brand of politics fits the Tea Party, but the establishment will never believe he can win a general election. By the same token, although Huckabee and Santorum appeal to evangelicals, the establishment views them doubtfully. Paul blazes a libertarian tone, but his less than forceful foreign policy tone, e.g., regarding Iran potentially becoming nuclear armed, is too scary with terrorists striking worldwide. Rubio impresses with his cautious, respectful tone, but he looks boyish and acts inexperienced. In the early part of the 2012 GOP campaign, Governor Perry of Texas looked good to the centrist and Tea Party wings, but it is doubtful that he can recover from the lack of knowledge and blank stares he displayed during the primary debates; in addition, he now has to fight an indictment brought by a Texas Democratic prosecutor, despite it appearing to be spurious. Walker has an astonishing political hot streak since 1993, having run 11 races for state legislature, Milwaukee County executive, and governor and won them all; in short, averaging winning a race every other year for 22 years. His combat credentials as a battler against liberal candidates in a Democratic leaning state, coupled with his record on job creation and fiscal discipline, are impressive. His stands against public sector unions, amnesty, and Common Core play well with the GOP’s right wing. From the Republican point of view, he is America’s most successful governor. He turned Wisconsin’s school system around and turned a budget deficit when he took office into now a surplus. Having survived a recall effort, Walker actually has been elected governor three times in four years. He has been tested against daunting odds far more than any other GOP presidential aspirant. He is young (47), energetic, charismatic, and fresh – a generational contrast that Hillary Clinton has most to fear. Don’t be surprised it will come down to Bush or Walker, with Walker winning because he is ok with both moderates and conservatives. If Walker wins, I predict his running mate will be Susana Martinez, the Hispanic woman governor of New Mexico: then two successful governors, outsiders to Washington, who have been reelected in blue states. A dream ticket? Perhaps. Acknowledgement is given to Dick Morris’ article, “Scott Walker Could Win”, for information in my column. Hotels ...

Watch out for ice as well as trees American Water Resources presented a donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. Representatives of American Water Resources today presented a $5,000 donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. The donation will help provide 20,000 meals for people struggling with hunger in Middle and West Tennessee. For every $1 donated to Second Harvest, the organization can provide four meals to feed hungry people. American Water Resources offers optional water and sewer line protection programs to customers of Metro Water Services. Last fall, American Water Resources committed to making a $1 donation to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee for each new MWS customer enrolled in its service line protection programs between October 1 and December 31, 2014. American Water Resources previously donated $2,500 – representing 10,000 meals – to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee in April 2014. This photo was submitted Monday showing the results of ice/sleet weighing down several trees which ended up covering the right lane of Hillsboro Road.

Detective Bruner devoted hundreds of hours investigating the death of 17-month-old Eloise Costanza, who was diagnosed with a skull fracture, brain swelling and had numerous bruises on her body. The investigation led to the development of a time-line that indicated Eloise had been abused for months before she died. Last year, the child’s mother, Neena Costanza, and her boyfriend, Jacob Hughes, were indicted on charges of first degree murder and aggravated child neglect. This is yet another example of Detective Bruner’s outstanding work on behalf of our youngest citizens who are too often unable to call the police for help. Field Operations Bureau Police officer of the Year, Officer Anthony Venable, West Precinct. Officer Venable’s steady work ethic and knowledge of the area he patrols led to a number of significant arrests dur- ing 2014, including a man wanted on outstanding warrants involving the rape of a child; a convicted felon who was in possession of cocaine, and a third man who was selling marijuana from his residence. Officer Venable’s supervisor reports that he is consistently looking beyond the stop during his encounters with individuals while displaying the desire, motivation and ability to perform his job at an excellent level. Field Operations Bureau Patrol Officer of the Year, Officer John Carlisle from the Hermitage Precinct. Officer Carlisle, a 14-year veteran of the Metro Police Department, uses his skills and intuition to enhance the safety of the neighborhoods in which he works. One of his cases in 2014 illustrates that commit- NOW OPEN ment. During a stop for a traffic violation on Lebanon Pike, the driver was found to have a suspended license and appeared nervous. During a search of the driver, a small bag of crystal meth was found. An inventory search of the car revealed 225 grams of crystal meth and various items of paraphernalia…all with an estimated street value in excess of $100,000. Special Operations Officer of the Year, SWAT Officer Marcel Chalou from the Special Response Team. Officer Chalou led the effort of the Special Response Team to apprehend the man wanted for a March 2010 murder at a bar on Haywood Lane. In July 2014, information was received that the alleged gunman, Juan Vargas-Guzman, was working construction in Crossville. He was located there and arrested. The challenge in finding Vargas-Guzman was compounded by the fact that he had no real community ties. Officer Chalou exhausted every available resource before developing the hard leads that ultimately led to the capture. Field Operations Bureau Investigator of the Year, Detective Alfredo Arevalo from the North Precinct. Detective Arevalo’s outstanding work in 2014 was highlighted by an investigation that led to the identification and arrest of four persons responsible for five robberies and two separate acts of attempted murder during a multi-day crime spree. Work on this case involved the tracking of cell phones, multiple knock and talks, and several home searches. Detective Arevalo’s commitment to this investigation undoubtedly took dangerous persons off the streets and made the community safer. Professional Support Employee of the Year, Darlene Sanders from the Fiscal Affairs Division. Sanders diligently guides employees through the often complex and time consuming travel request and documentation process. She ensures that all travel and training arrangements are completed in a timely manner, and is always available to help with last minute problems. Sanders, who also oversees the uniform allowance program, is an extremely valued member of the Fiscal Affairs Division team.

Page 8- The News, February 19, 2015 Taxing Matters By Jim Wilson, CPA Did you hire a “domestic employee” during 2014? Most people who do do not realize that a person hired to baby sit in your home or serve as an aid to assist with the elderly or chronically ill, is an employee. The big problem occurs when people pay such help without realizing that they are responsible for withholding income tax and for withholding Social Security and Medicare tax. And when do they discover the need for such requirements? They usually discover the need for such payments when they bring their tax information to be prepared for the year. That can cause a mass panic on the part of the taxpayer and a burden on the preparer. If the taxpayer plans to hire a domestic worker and pay him/her $1,900 (2015) or more during the calendar year, then consider this following simple compliance checklist. 1. Make sure the worker is classified correctly. The IRS has ruled that the vast majority of nannies, housekeepers, senior caregivers and other domestic workers are employees of the families for whom they work – regardless of the amount of hours worked, wages paid or what’s written in the contract. Worker misclassification is illegal and the IRS and Department of Labor have teamed up recently to increase enforcement. 2. Obtain federal and state employer tax IDs. Household employers need to obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) as well as state tax ID(s) for Unemployment Insurance and, if applicable, State Income tax as well. 3. File a new hire report with the state. Tennessee and other states require all employers to file a New Hire Report with the state immediately after each new hire. The reason for this is simple. Some people job hop to avoid paying child support or other obligations. 4. Withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes from the employee’s pay each pay period. FICA taxes must be withheld from the employee’s pay (or, alternatively, the employer may pay it for the employee, that seldom occurs). In addition to FICA taxes, it is also recom- mend that employers withhold income taxes so that the employee is not subject to underpayment penalties at year end. 5. Withhold Social Security and Medicare taxes from the employee’s pay each pay period.FICA taxes must be withheld from the employee’s pay (or, alternatively, the employer may pay it for the employee). In addition to FICA taxes, we also recommend that employers withhold income taxes so that the employee is not subject to underpayment penalties at year end. 6. File household employment tax returns as required (quarterly) and remit employee and employer taxes. 7. Prepare year-end tax forms. Provide the employee with Form W-2 by the end of January. File Form W2 Copy A/Form W3 with the Social Security Administration by the end of February. File Schedule H with your personal income tax return by April 15. 8. Handle overtime correctly. The Household employees are considered non-exempt workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and are required to be paid overtime for all time over 40 hours in a 7-day workweek. Live-in employees are generally an exception to this rule, although a few states require live-ins to be paid overtime as well. Even if the employee is paid on a salary basis, excess hours beyond 40 in a 7-day workweek are subject to overtime rates. For more information regarding household workers, see Publication 926 available at www.irs.gov, or just call on us. Request our totally free tax preparation organizer by email. It is a great tool for accumulating the tax information for preparation of income taxes.

Students who are currently in the seventh, eighth, ninth or tenth grade are eligible to apply. Scholars Academy is completely free for students, including transportation, meals, enrichment activities and weekly field trips. Students will have the opportunity to learn in small groups with positive leaders and improve their academic skills with engaging, hands-on projects. “For the past three summers, Scholars Academy has helped fan the flames of our students’ college aspirations and also helped them achieve those aspirations by preparing them for academic success,” Mayor Dean said. “Every time I visit Scholars Academy, I am impressed both by the dedication of our scholars and the enthusiasm of the teachers. It’s always great to see students who live in different neighborhoods and have very different school experiences come together to learn, grow and create a positive peer group.” Rising eleventh graders will focus on the math and English needed for success on the ACT test. Rising eighth, ninth and tenth graders will prepare for algebra and geometry and gain core English skills. Scholars Academy also goes beyond academics. Each day includes fun and enriching activities, such as art, music and outdoor activities, and each week students take a field trip, either to a college or an experience such as a climbing wall or kayaking. Each student will visit two or three colleges over the course of Scholars Academy. Scholars Academy will take place from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. from June 8 to July 3, at Cane Ridge, Hunters Lane, McGavock, and Whites Creek high schools. Students who plan to attend, or live near, these high schools are particularly urged to enroll, but students who live in other cluster areas are also welcome. Four hundred scholars can par- ticipate; however, students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, as wait-lists are expected. Enrollment is open until April 15. The Mayor’s Scholars Academy began as a pilot program in the summer of 2012 for rising ninth graders. It is part of Mayor Dean’s efforts to increase the number of Metro students who attend and graduate from college. More information and student applications are available online at scholarsacademy.nashville.gov.

Truth be heard I'm ticked off because none of the major papers in this country, including the Tennessean, have given the truth in print about global warming, or it's new name, climate change.

Mr. Johns shot a lot of holes in that theory. A great source of info comes from The Space and Science Research Corp., a leading research organization in the U.S., it has data that the next climate change, that is happening already, is a long lasting cold era based on "solar hibernation" caused by a dramatic reduction in the energy output of the sun.

It's scary here I must confess, when chaos reigns the school's a mess. So, Lord, this silent plea I make: Should I be shot; My soul please take! Amen. Mother Nature strikes Again, I’m ticked off at Mother Nature. Yes, we all heard multiple times from the weathermen that a winter storm was approaching (they always say that), and I did not believe them. But, much to my surpirse, I wake up Monday morning to all all sorts of H2O forms (ice, sleet, snow). It’s the end of February, and it’s time for winter to go! Buses are too large As I make my rounds in Green Hills, I often observe buses with one or two riders, or sometimes none. It seems obvious that the present system is consuming a very large amount of fuel, thus polluting the air. School prayer This was written by a 15year-old school boy: Now I sit me down in school where praying is against the rule. For this great nation under God finds mention of him very odd. If scripture now the class recites, it violates the Bill of Rights. And any time my head I bow becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a very serious vice. For praying in a public hall might offend someone with Fifty Shades I can’t believe they are advertising for this movie everywhere! I saw clips of it on the Today Show (at 8 a.m.) It seems extremely inappropriate to advertise for such a controversial movie at a morning time slot. The media needs to rethink their strategies!

MIDDLE TENNESSEE'S PREMIER RUG CLEANER SINCE SINCE 1909 NOT EVERYONE TRAPPED BY ALCOHOL IS AN ALCOHOLIC. 1909 1909 CELEBRATING 106 YEARS 2015 IN-PLANT RUG CLEANING • Pet Odor Specialist • Hypo-Allergenic • Drop off at Plant or Pick-up Delivery ON-LOCATION CLEANING Donʼt destroy history At last night's Planning Commission meeting a developer received approval to tear down two 100-year old homes built as zookeeper's residences for Nashville's Glendale Park Zoo. The Green Hills-area zoo and amusement park was open from 1888 until 1932. This piece of Nashville history will finally be obliterated for no reason other than greed. I guess developers haven't made enough money erasing Nashville's history. Too bad nobody famous wrote a song in one of those houses, we might have been able to save them. Assuming that the city is aware of the bus usage, perhaps some of the larger buses could be replaced by smaller buses, like the greyhound size. • Carpet • Upholstery • Deep Steam Cleaning Method Sixty years of hope for families and friends of problem drinkers www.middletnalanon.org 615-333-6066 Save $25.00 OFF with this ad on $200.00 or more with rug or carpet cleaning (cash or check only) Expires 2/28/2015 Call Now for Free Estimate!! 615-221-0009 Drop-off location: Brentwood South Business Center, 7108 Crossroads Blvd. #303, Cool Springs (West of Mall) 2015 WINTER BIRD SEED SALE Seed Sale Prices Prices Good Through February 28th, 2015 WBU Custom Seed Blends Deluxe Blend Supreme Blend Choice Blend No-Mess Blend Tree Nutty Blend 20lb 20lb 20lb 20lb 20lb $16.99 $18.99 $21.99 $30.99 $32.99 20lb 20lb 20lb 20lb 20lb 20lb 20lb $16.99 $22.99 $11.99 $23.99 $36.99 $29.99 $28.99 Other Seed Premium Black Oil Sunflower Seed Safflower Seed White Millet Striped Sunflower Seed Sunflower Chips Peanut Kernals Nyjer Thistle 5lb $7.50 10lb $14.50 Seed or Suet Cakes • Cylinders Buy 4 Seed or Suet Cakes get the 5th* FREE! *of equal or lesser value Save 15% on ALL Seed or Suet Cylinders *of equal or lesser value Early Bird Special!
