Origin of 2-Alarm Fire under investigation; man rescued but dogs perishNashville Fire Department

Investigators continue to collectmaterials to determine the ori-gin and cause of a massive com-mercial fire on Saturday at 1015W. Kirkland Avenue.

The initial calls for the firecame in on at 10:40 p.m. andcrews remained on the scene invarious stages for almost 12

hours.According to fire officials,

after multiple 911 calls reporteda fire at the two-story structure,the first NFD crew arrived with-in four minutes. The personnelreported heavy smoke showingfrom all sides of the building.

Engine 29 B-Shift issued acode red because a man who

escaped the burning buildingwas trapped on the roof. Crewssuccessfully rescued the patient.After assessing the man’s condi-tion, NFD Medics said herefused to be transported to thehospital.

Within 15 minutes incidentcommand called for a secondalarm because of the size of the

burning building. When an inci-dent commander calls for a sec-ond or higher alarm level it pro-vides more personnel to aid inthe firefighting operation.

Several dogs were found to bein one of the areas of the build-ing. People worked to try to res-

District 25 Metro Council-member Russ Pulley said hehas heard from a few con-stituents who have read a mis-leading news article about thecontent of an ordinanceamending the Code of Lawsthat states that “Any personviolating the provisions oforders issued by the mayorduring a civil emergency andpursuant to the authority ofTennessee Code Annotated,Title 38, Chapter 9 commits a

Class C misdemeanor. Thissection shall expire and benull and void on October 1,2023, unless extended by reso-lution of the metropolitancouncil.”

“I wanted to clear this upfor you all. There seems to be anarrative out there that thisbill passed during our recentCouncil meeting makes it aClass C misdemeanor and pro-vides jail time for a violationof the Health Department

Order regarding the maskmandate. That is absolutelynot true as BL2020-335 hasnothing to do with that.

“A state statute, 68-2-602,makes it a Class C misde-meanor to violate a Board ofHealth Regulation. That is thestatute that is being used toenforce the mask mandate andhas been used by MNPD priorto BL2020-335 being passed.

“Again, this is a state statuteand a Class C misdemeanordoes carry a Maximum 30 dayjail sentence, but this remainsthe misdemeanor classificationwith the lowest penalty.”

Pulley said that BL2020-335was filed because it was discov-ered during the recent civilunrest, when the Mayordeclared a civil emergency andinstituted a curfew, that the citydid not have the authority toenforce such a curfew.

Therefore, Gov. Bill Lee steppedin and declared a parallel cur-few order empowering Metrounder the Governor's orderwhich in effect served as a one-time remedy. The intent of thisbill was to ensure that gap inthe current code to fortifyfuture civil emergency orders.

State law 38-9-105 gives citiesthe authority to make viola-tions of Civil EmergencyOrders issued by an ExecutiveOrder Class C misdemeanor.

Mayor John Cooper signedExecutive Order No. 9 on May30 declaring a state of civilemergency in Nashville and

Davidson County that stated“safeguarding the lives of itscitizens is a fundamentalresponsibility of theMetropolitan Government.”This came after a rally forGeorge Floyd and racial justicewas followed by rioting andvandalism by protesters notassociated with the peacefulprotests. Gov. Bill Lee author-ized the National Guard toassist.

Earlier in March, the mayorissued a “State of CivilEmergency” due to the COVID-19 pandemic that was initiallyset for seven days; however, it

was later extended.“These executive orders are

most likely going to be issuedduring natural emergencieslike bad weather events,”Pulley stated. “The state statutedoes not give us the authority tolimit or parse out anythingfrom this statute.”

“I hope this clears up anymisinformation or misunder-standing of what this means.Feel free to contact me if youneed further clarification,” heconcluded.

As mentioned last time, mylovely Mom moved here toTennessee from Minnesota in1949 to elope with my hand-some Dad who was originallyfrom Kansas. It’s funny howtwo people running off togeth-er in love can have such expo-nential implications. For onething, I would not be the proudfather of a son who pilots jetsin the industry of private avia-tion; and for another, the read-ers of this week’s columnwould now be staring at a blankpage.

It was after World War II,and people were getting theirlives back on track after ourcountry not only helped saveEurope from Nazi Germanybut also defeat Imperial Japanin the Pacific theatre whereDad served as a bombardieron a B-17 named “Hell fromHeaven”. Y’all perhaps haveread the book titled, “Unbroken”,by Laura Hillenbrand? Thatwas the same type of plane inwhich Dad flew and risked hislife, aged 27, so I can sit hereand type on a computer key-board today. He was unbrokenand hopefully not forgotten.

He’s now buried in theNashville National Cemeteryon Gallatin Road. I remembercrying when they played Tapsat his funeral. Taps is unique toUnited States Military memori-al services and originated as asignal for “lights out” for sol-diers to go to sleep. I rememberas a kid in the 50’s goingthrough a big box of black andwhite war photos dad had col-lected during his service to ourcountry. One picture of hisplane and squadron hangs inmy office today right abovehis neatly folded triangularAmerican flag.

Anyway, after the war, Dadgot promoted from bombardierto salesman. He then represent-ed a new squadron, a companybased in Chicago, Illinois,located on State Street, namedInternational AccountantsSociety, Inc. He and mommoved here from Glenwood,MN because Nashville, TN andBirmingham, AL were his ter-ritories, plus all the little townsalong the way between hereand there and back. Dad and Imade lots of business tripstogether as I was growing up.

Mom would stay home with myolder sister, Gretty Rose, tokeep safe our family fort whiledad and I ventured out to slaydragons – it was a big game forour little family way back then,and today, finally, I think Iunderstand it wasn’t a game a’tall.

International AccountantsSociety, Inc., commonly abbre-viated to “IAS”, copyrightedand sold home study courses topeople wanting to get theirlives back on track after theaforementioned Word WarTwo. It was a wonderful pro-gram to help people achieveanything from basic bookkeep-ing skills all the way throughCPA coaching. When Dad rep-resented IAS in Tennessee, hiscompany trained 1 out of every3 CPA’s in our great state -although I know I’m bragging,that’s pretty impressive for ahome study course companyout of Chicago. The rules aredifferent now, but the idea isstill the same. Help peoplemake a better life by improvingtheir skills and offer a valuableservice to an industry calledbusiness. That’s another rea-son I became an accountant – Ifigured, “Why not, I’m goodwith figures, and most everybusiness needs you.”

The slogan for IAS was,“The Use an Individual Makesof Spare Time Will DetermineOne’s Business Future”, circa1929, also known as the “GoodOld Days”. After I withdrewfrom school at VanderbiltUniversity and before return-ing to school at WesternKentucky University, I neededto figure out what the heck Iwas supposed to do with mylife. Often I joke that I was onthe eleven-year plan – graduat-ed high school in 1971 and final-ly finished college in 1982 –pretty much worked my waythrough since scholarships,parental assistance, grants andother such support had longago expired. While waitingtables and running from girls,uhm perhaps vice versa, thereseemed to be plenty of time tospare.

Which explains, somewhat,why this column, Bookkeepingthe Business of Life, has cometo be. Accounting, as they say,just ain’t that difficult. It’s just

just ain’t that difficult. It’s justpoorly taught and / orexplained in the realm of tradi-tional academia. Sorry folks,that’s my opinion, and I’ve beenthere, done that, for almost 11years. In fact, I’m going to bebold enough to say, going out onthe proverbial bean countinglimb with saw in hand, andstate, “If you can count tothree, you can do accounting,and easily understand what’sgoing on behind that beautiful,colorful, data input screen com-monly known, on the shelvesof software retailers, asQuickBooks!”

You may recall from the veryfirst column here in The GreenHills News, QuickBooks iswhat I do, it’s all I do, and likeIAS, I hope to share that infor-

mation with you – a small busi-ness owner seeking yourdreams, a family trying to keepyour budget Dave Ramsey style,or perhaps somebody whowants to improve their person-al academic skills so you canadvance your career the oldfashioned way, through the pro-vision a valuable service thatpeople need and want and arehappy to employ, if you trulyknow what you are doing.

So, let’s wrap it up there fornow. If you can count to three,you’re for me. Also known asthe “ABC’s of 123’s.” Hopeyou’ll continue to follow alongnext time when you’ll learn theaged old secret of why there areonly THREE places to book-keep an accounting entry, sohow hard can it really be?

As a side note, AccountNet,Inc! has been in business since1990, thirty years come thisOctober 1st, and I’d be happy tomeet you and share with you,by phone or over a cup of cof-fee, the services offered to hun-dreds of business owners andother individuals right here inNashville, TN, over the years,where my parents married solong ago chasing their versionof “Life, Liberty and thePursuit of Happiness”, theAmerican Dream!

For far too long, America's com-bat veterans have been terriblyunder-served in terms of beingprovided with constructive, posi-tive, and consistently availableoutlets. The same goes for childrenwho have suffered deeply as resultof being deprived of their motheror father, who made the ultimatesacrifice in a tour of duty, as wellas for children who have beenorphaned, or rendered significant-ly underprivileged. In Nashville,that is about to start changing in asignificant way via the establish-ment of Project Humanity byNashville's own Chris Garland. Acombat veteran himself, Garlandhas seen too many times how trag-ic and devastating a lack of suchoutlets can be for fellow veterans,and to the children who are leftbehind. It is high time for that tostart changing, and Mr. Garland,along with the benefactors ofProject Humanity, are offering aremarkable amount of light in thedark void that is sadly so pervasive

among such demograph-ics.

Mr. Garland (DojuGarland) solidified hisoutlet a long time agothrough traditional mar-tial arts training undersome of the most re-nowned practitioners inthe world, especially inthe art of Hapkido. Thepoint has come in whichhe would love to share histeachings and the wisdomthat has come through hisexperiences to those whoare the most at risk, and in

need of an outlet to channel theirpain, grow confidence and self-esteem, while cultivating an ampledegree of structure and discipline.To put it in the most sincere anddirect terms, the primary goal ofProject Humanity is to save lives,and to groom our children to bepositive leaders in the future.Based upon personal experience,as well as the testimonies andvividly noticeable effects uponmany, Doju Garland's trainingmethods and teachings stick withyou in a deep sense. Accountabili-ty for yourself and others, sus-tained focus in every aspect ofyour life, situational awareness,and the cultivation of responsibil-ity and discipline are among themost vital elements of Sam RangDo training that translate intoone's actions, behaviors, and per-spective beyond the martial artsschool.

Doju Garland's record speaksfor itself. Most recently, a retiredSergeant Major from the Army

Special Forces wrote a letter ofendorsement for Project Humanity,in which Garland's history as apremier and invaluable instructorto the Special Forces 5th Group forwell over a decade is illustrated.He has also received many lettersof commendation from a vastarray of Law Enforcement andMilitary organizations. On top ofthat, Garland received his Koreantitle of Doju in 2017 from Ji HanJae, meaning that he is the succes-sor to the Sam Rang Do martialarts system, which Ji utilized sub-stantially in his development ofthe art of Hapkido. Furthermore,the Sam Rang Do Headquartersschool is none other thanExecutive Martial Arts (EMA) inNashville, which is owned andoperated by Mr. Garland. Naturally,EMA will be, in essence, the head-quarters of Project Humanity,

As of now, the program has fif-teen spots available for select chil-dren, and fifteen spots for combatveterans. Through its benefactors,those who become a part ofProject Humanity will be ableto train extensively in the art ofSam Rang Do free of cost forone year, while being providedwith uniforms and essentialamenities.

For more information pleasefeel free to reach out to ProjectHumanity via executivemar-tialarts.com, the Executive

Martial Arts Facebook page, orcall/text (615) 294-6347 with anyquestions regarding this uniqueand wonderful humanitarianendeavor, or for those who wish tomake a donation. Through a com-munity effort the likes of which

has never been done for combatveterans and underprivileged chil-dren alike, lives will truly besaved, or vastly improved, whilean example will be set for thegreater societal community atlarge.

Did you know that Traveller'sRest is the oldest house in thecity which is still open to thepublic? Traveller's Rest was thehome of John Overton, a suc-cessful lawyer, TennesseeSupreme Court judge, and themain influence for the politicaladvancement for his friend,Andrew Jackson. Traveller'sRest is located near JohnOvertorn High School off ofFranklin Road

John Overton began the con-struction of the old MaxwellHouse hotel before the outbreakof the War Between the States.In fact, the built part of thehotel was used as a hospital forthe Union troops during thewar. But, it was his son, JohnOverton, Jr., who went simplyby the name of “The Colonel,”who took over his father'sfinancial wealth and businessesat his death, and finished build-ing the magnificent MaxwellHouse hotel.

Printers Alley downtown gotits name from the early print-ing industry in Nashville. Inthe early days, the area ofPrinters Alley encompassedtwo large newspapers, ten printshops, and thirteen publishers.Even today, Nashville is recog-nized as one of the leading pub-lishing and printing industrylocations in the country.

The palatial mansion calledCheekwood was built in thesouthwestern suburbs ofNashville by Mr. and Mrs.Leslie Cheek during the GreatDepression. Leslie Cheek, ofMaxwell House Coffee fame,was married to a lady by thename of Wood. So, the nameCheek was taken from him, andWood was from her. Thus,Cheekwood.

Forty years later, the Cheeks'daughter, Mrs. Walter Sharp,gave the estate to the citizens ofNashville. Today, it is theTennessee Botanical Gardenand Fine Arts Center.

All of you are familiar withour Arcade downtown betweenFourth and Fifth Avenues. Didyou know that when it was builtin 1903 as a two-tiered, shop-ping mall, it was an identical

copy of the Galleria VittorioEmmanucle II arcade in Milan,Italy?

Have you ever been to theUpper Room Chapel andMuseum at 1908 Grand Avenuenear the old Scarritt Collegecampus? You don't want to miss

seeing the 8-foot-by17-foot woodcarving of Leonardo Da Vinci's“The Last Supper.” It is breath-taking!

A request to rezone a por-tion of property located at4004 Hillsboro Pike to permitan animal boarding facility,dog kennel and all uses hasbeen filed with the MetroPlanning by applicant Daleand Associates and GreenHills Court GP, owner.

The .13 acres, locatedapproximately 45-feet south ofRichard Jones Road and with-in the Green Hills UrbanDesign Overlay is currentlyzoned SCR, and if approvedwith be zoned SP.

District 25 Metro Councilmember Russ Pulley said thecase will be considered at thePlanning Commission’s meet-ing this Thursday, August 27.Resident wanting to providefeedback about this potentialrezone are invited to [email protected].

Pulley sent an email to hisconstituents addressing thisissue detailing the PlanningStaff analysis, which stated

that the proposed additionaluses, animal boarding facili-ties and kennels, are not per-mitted within the SCR zoningdistrict. In some zoning dis-tricts, kennels are classifiedas a use requiring a specialexception from the Board ofZoning Appeals. A kennel isnot a use permitted by specialexception within the existingSCR zoning district. Whenkennels are approved throughthe special exception process,200 feet is required betweenkennels and residential uses.This standard also applies toanimal boarding facilities, inzoning districts where the useis permitted with conditions.These standards are intendedto minimize potential impactson surrounding properties. Inthis case, the proposed use isin an existing building whichis approximately 130 feet fromthe residential unit to the eastand 130 feet from the residen-tial unit to the south.

To reduce noise, there will

be no outdoor play area for theanimals.

The proposed use is consis-tent with the T5 RG Policy toenhance and create regionalcenters, with supporting landuses that create opportunitiesto live, work, and play. T5 RGareas are pedestrian friendlyareas, generally located at theintersection of two arterialstreets, and contain commer-cial, mixed use, residentialand institutional land uses:the proposed use in an exist-ing commercial buildingalong an existing commercialcorridor; and, proposed usescontribute to the goal of thepolicy to create uses that servethe surrounding neighbor-hoods.

The Staff recommendsapproval with conditions anddisapproval without all condi-tions.

Conditions include:

1. Permitted land usesshall be limited to animal

boarding facility and kenneland all uses of SCR.

2. If a development stan-dard, not including permitteduses, is absent from the SPplan and/or Council approval,the property shall be subjectto the standards, regulationsand requirements of the SCRzoning district as of the dateof the applicable request orapplication.

3. The Preliminary SP planis the site plan and associateddocuments. If applicable,remove all notes and refer-ences that indicate that thesite plan is illustrative, con-ceptual, etc.

4. A corrected copy of thepreliminary SP plan incorpo-rating the conditions ofapproval by Metro Councilshall be provided to thePlanning Department prior toor with final site plan applica-tion.

5. Minor modifications tothe preliminary SP plan maybe approved by the Planning

Commission or its designeebased upon final architectur-al, engineering or site designand

actual site conditions. Allmodifications shall be consis-tent with the principles andfurther the objectives of theapproved plan. Modificationsshall not be permitted, exceptthrough an ordinance approvedby Metro Council thatincrease the permitted densi-ty or floor area, add uses nototherwise permitted, elimi-nate specific conditions orrequirements contained inthe plan as adopted throughthis enacting ordinance, oradd vehicular access pointsnot currently present orapproved.

6. The requirements of theMetro Fire Marshal’s Officefor emergency vehicle accessand adequate water supply forfire protection must be metprior to the issuance of anybuilding permits.

Rezoning would make way for boarding facility & kennel at 4004 Hillsboro Pike

I'm ticked off due to constantdrag racing along MurfreesboroRoad near the Nashboro Villagearea and up Bell Road. On anygiven night,while in my home. Ihear loud racing of revved upengines speeding by with reck-less abandon on the road.Where are the police that every-one believes protect and servethe people? They are not out inthe field of Nashville catchingspeeders. Most likely they aresomewhere sitting in theirpatrol cars. Waiting on dispatchto give them an easy call to gotoo. Like a trespass, so they canharass and quickly arrest.Instead of protecting the publicsafety from dangerous speeddemons behind the wheel.Metro police need to do theirjobs and catch individuals whodrag at high speeds and the per-sons who drag and carry onwith these actions need to go tothe race track or jail and facestiff penalties that they may notpractice this activity on theroadways. No catch and releasefor them. Jail time. Since theycan’t seem to follow the rules ofthe road and clearly don’t usegood judgment by putting oth-ers and themselves in dangerfrom wat they think is a funsport.

News announcersTake those masks off when

you do a news story- we can’tunderstand you!

Nashville's dirty streetsI laughed today when I read

that Mayor Cooper has a $1.8Billion plan to create a transitsystem for our fair city.

In the last few weeks I havebecome increasingly angrywith Mr. Cooper's inability as a"Manager" to stop us from look-ing like a third world city. TheCurbs, street dividers, side-walks, and Streets are filthywith built up trash and debris.The Main streets , specificallyWest End, and Hillsboro Rd areinexcusably terrible to navigateon. Pot holes, bumps that jarmy car to death, and it is new. Ican imagine having an older caror truck with some wear on it.

The last three DemocratMayors we have had seem to betoo preoccupied with :Boyfriends, Elections, and Howto Copy Big City Mayors, toeven do rudimentary road workto benefit his citizens. Thetourists must really believe weare Hillbillys.

Keep others safe as wellas yourself

It is hard to understand why

still so many people refuse tokeep themselves safe and othersaround them. I do not like to puta mask on my face and cover mynose and mouth. I know thatsometimes it is hard to breatheand talk, but it is absolutelynecessary. When I go to thestore or place of business thereare still employees walkingaround with a mask aroundtheir chin, what a joke! Theseindividuals show how little theycare for their own safety andthe safety of others. Companiesshould clamp down hard onthese employees to ensure theircustomers safety. These people'sbehavior will keep Covid19around for ever!

Social Security is under attack

Trumps payroll "holiday"executive order (not a bill) is ascam. The money will have tobe paid back at the end of theyear. That means people wouldhave to save any extra money intheir paychecks to not be hitwith a huge bill next year. It'sanother scam by this presidentto hurt working class citizens.Now, the chief actuary of theSocial Security Administrationsays that the ability to paysocial security benefits couldend by 2023 if the presidentenforces this action and doesnot replace the funds. Trumpsays he wants to end the payrolltaxes that fund Social Securityand Medicare and allow theRepublicans to do what theyhave wanted to do for decades...take away your Social Securityand Medicare. Social Securityis under attack right now!

Enforce the maskmandate

Last week, Mayor Cooperclosed down Nissan Stadium forfans until at least October. TheTitans wanted to operate at 25%capacity. Nissan Stadium is out-side. Seating would have beensocially distanced. Fans weregoing to be required to wearmasks. Within that same week,he opened up all the bars until10:30 p.m. Bar service is on theinside. Bar customers are notgoing to wear masks obviously.Some of the bars are smokingbars, lots of ways to blow smokewith droplets a long way. Eventhough there is a limit of 25 orless patrons, this is just wrong.He did give the bar owners achance to make it work in Juneand they failed.

Nashville has a mask man-date. I am all for that. Pleaseenforce the mandate otherwiseit accomplishes nothing. FridayAugust 7th, MNPD issued 494warnings in the Broadway areaand 16 citations. On FridayAugust 14th, MNPD issued 1000warnings and 9 citations. OnSaturday, August 15th, MNPDissued 1900 warnings and 16citations. This is not working.Parents that have childrenknow that a child quicklyunderstands a warning versusa threat with consequences.These citations are for $50 each.If we had just taken the 3394warnings and actually issuedcitations, that would havebrought $169,700 into the Metrocoffers just for those threenights. The city is complainingabout needing more money. It isnot like there are big flashing

signs downtown telling visitorsto wear masks. Again, unlesswe get strict about the masks,this trend will continue.

"Do Not Knock" listDoes no one respect or even

know about the "Do Not Knock"list? People have gone to thetrouble to register so as not tobe disturbed and I've had threesalesmen at my door in the lastthree weeks, although I have

been on this list for years. Twowere with home pest controlservices and the guy todayinstalls windows. Who is sup-posed to enforce this? Do thesepeople need permits to go doorto door? If so, they should begiven a copy of the addressesthat are on the list and swearnot to disturb them before thepermit is granted. If they dis-turb, their permits should bewithdrawn and a stiff fineshould be imposed.

I agree I totally agree with the

writer of (Fed up with badnews) in the August 20, editionand that is exactly why Istopped watching TV news. Dowe really need three hours ofthis every afternoon? I don’tthink so.

In a recent article writtenby Craig W. Smalley, he said arecent Tax Court case ruledthat taxpayers, who rely ondo-it-yourself tax preparationsoftware to prepare their taxreturns, can not rely on thatas a defense for errors in thetax return. Why? The inter-pretation of tax law is bestapplied by those who havebeen trained to understandthe information. If the taxprogram contains errors, theuser is at liberty to search fortax law in IRS provided mate-

rials. The tax program wasnot found to be at fault.According to the article, “theTax Court held that a taxpay-er couldn't blame his tax prepsoftware for deductions thathe took on his tax return thatwere disallowed (T.C. Memo.2017-79).”

A taxpayer who used popu-lar computer tax software toprepare his own returns, tooksome deductions that he mis-understood, he said as aresult of the programs direc-tion. Because of his misun-

derstanding, the IRS believedhe claimed too many deduc-tions, but his argument wasthat he had enough evidenceto prove some of them and,according to the Tax Court,blamed the software for "lur-ing him into claiming others."

The tax program, which iswritten to guide individualtaxpayers in preparing theirown returns, asks the user aseries of questions and thenfills out the tax return basedon those answers. The prob-lem is that sometimes theuser doesn't understand thequestions. Quite often, wereceive clients who have noknowledge of the total mes-sage of the tax law and theyconclude that they can takedeductions that are notallowed. Also, the compila-tion of taxable income isoften erroneous due to lack ofincome tax law knowledge.

According to the article,the case arose from a lawsuitin which the taxpayer was adefendant. In 2007, the settle-ment of that lawsuit left himliable for a large amount oftax and a penalty.

The uneducated filer paidthe settlement by obtaining a

large loan secured by hishome. The taxpayer plannedto sell his home and use theproceeds to pay the note whenit came due. That soundsacceptable up to this point.“However, because of thestart of the Great Recession,he was unable to sell hishouse and he managed to payonly a fraction of what heowed.”

The taxpayer claimedinterest deductions on theloan; He paid a large paymentfor 2011 and again for 2012.“The court acknowledgedthat he paid the interest to thelender, but the amount paiddid not match the amountdeducted on the return. Thetax payer did not produce anypaperwork to show what hadhappened to the original loan,which was originally due tobe paid off in 2008. The courtsaid it could not figure out ifthe loan had been extended orrefinanced: "Without anypaperwork (in a situationwhere there should have beenlots of paperwork) we are leftonly with his testimony aboutthe total amounts of the pay-ments and the allocation ofthose payments between prin-

cipal and interest" Findingthe taxpayer to be a less-than-credible witness, the courtupheld the IRS's disallowanceof the entire amount of hisinterest deduction for bothyears.” Human reasoningusually attempts to reconcilethe variances in our ownfavor.

The taxpayer blamed thetax program for the error. Thejudge said the interpretationof tax law by a novice was theproblem. Would you drill ahole in your tooth and fill itwith some compound? Wouldyou perform even minor sur-gery on yourself ? Do you getthe point? Lesson learned:select a reputable tax prepar-er and sleep without fearingthe consequences of yourown interpretation of tax law.Remember, we are here 12months every year to help youhave peace of mind.

(BPT) - Before COVID-19, youprobably didn't put muchthought into washing yourhands. A bit of soap and a quicklather seemed adequate. Now,hand washing is center stage asa main step to fight the spreadof the virus and help people ofall ages stay healthy.

Regular hand washing is oneof the best ways to removegerms, avoid getting sick andprevent the spread of germs toothers, according to the UnitedStates Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention. Thisnot only helps with the COVID-19 virus, but also helps protectyou from other viruses, such ascold and flu germs.

COVID-19 is efficiently killedwith soap and water, which iswhy the CDC recommendsscrubbing your hands severaltimes a day. However, parentsand caregivers may strugglewith getting their kids to washtheir hands the right way. Fromimpatient toddlers to distractedteens, hand washing may not behappening correctly.

To help your family washtheir hands the right way andhave fun while doing it, thehealth experts from Colgateoffer some simple steps to con-sider:

Step 1: Have a family meeting

Talking about hand washingcasually won't make a lastingimpression. Hand washing isimportant, especially duringthe pandemic, so give it theattention it needs by calling afamily meeting. Talk about howhand washing kills germs and

stay positive, saying how yourfamily wants to be a part of thesolution in preventing thespread of COVID-19.

Step 2: Discuss proper hand

washingProper hand washing is sim-

ple once you know how to do it.First, wet hands with cleanwater. Apply soap and scrub theentire hand for at least 20 sec-onds, including between the fin-gers. Finally, rinse and air dryor use a clean towel.Availability of soap and wash-ing correctly is essential. That'swhy Colgate is donating 1.4 mil-lion bar soaps distributed in theU.S. as part of the #SafeHandschallenge, featuring instruc-tions for effective hand wash-ing. The bar soaps, along withother health and hygiene prod-ucts like toothbrushes, tooth-paste, and body wash, will bedelivered to food banks andschool lunch programs nation-wide via Colgate's trademarkBright Smiles, Bright Futuresmobile dental vans. In total,Colgate's product donationsacross the country is valued atover $8MM.

Step 3: Make it fun

What's typically the hardestpart of proper hand washing isthe length of time. To makehand washing fun, sing a tunefor that length of time. Forexample, sing "HappyBirthday" twice to hit the mark.Or, customize a favorite nurs-ery song and sing it for thatlength. To the tune of "Row

your boat" sing: "Wash, wash,wash your hands. Wash themevery day! Scrub with soap,rinse it down, wash thosegerms away!"

Step 4: Praise and rewards

Make hand washing a part ofchildren's responsibilities,much how they are expected tomake their bed and read daily.You may want to add postersand other reminders to help thefamily remember the impor-tance of hand washing.Remember, positive reinforce-ment and recognizing a job welldone goes much further thanscolding when stressing newhabits. You may even decide toset up a rewards program; forinstance, young children get asticker every time they washtheir hands.

Step 5: Be a role model

When encouraging your fam-ily to adopt healthy habits, it'sbest to lead by example. Washyour hands regularly using thecorrect procedures. Sing loudand proud so people knowyou're doing it for 20 seconds.Show it's a priority for you soyour family knows it should bea priority for them.
