Hundreds of people from Wilson County ride the commuter train into Downtown Nashville every day, so what would happen in the event of an emergency such as the train colliding with a bus or other vehicle? That was the basis for a mock disaster drill on Tuesday in West Wilson County, near the Music City Star Hermitage station. The drill simulated the train hitting a MTA bus, with both the train engineer and the bus driver incapacitated. Hands On Nashville supplied 25 volunteers who role played as accident victims. Personnel from area Fire, Police, the Nashville Mayor\u2019s Emergency Management Office, emergency communications and other local personnel participated, for a total of more than 100 people taking part in the mock disaster exercise. The Federal Railroad Administration, which regulates the rail industry, requires such exercises once every two years for rail operations the size of the Music City Star. This mock disaster is part of the on-going emergency training program for Middle Tennessee\u2019s Music City Star and Regional Transportation Authority, which oversees the operation of

represents Mt. Juliet, told District 23 Commissioner Bernie Ash, who is also chairman of the Budget Committee, that he and the panel need to start thinking outside the box on funding for the new LHS.

\u201cIt\u2019s not a question of do we want a new LHS or even if we need one,\u201d Sorey said. \u201cWe need one, but the public has told us loud and clear that they don\u2019t want a tax. We could cut the budget 2 percent across the board or even give up our salaries. We just need to do something.\u201d

Ash said the Budget Committee had done all they could to remedy the funding issue and that if Sorey or any other commissioner had any ideas on how to raise the money to come to the Budget Committee meeting and tell them about it.

rather you just do it,\u201d Sorey said. \u201cAnother thing, we don\u2019t

know when to come to your meetings because you don\u2019t put your agendas up on the County Commission\u2019s website, even though we passed the resolution a few months ago that required you to do so. I\u2019ve already given you a resolution and nothing happened, so just do it.\u201d

Commissioner Kenny Reich read a resolution honoring him for his years of service in government and education. State Sen. Mae Beavers also read a resolution passed by the state legislature honoring Franklin.

\u201cI\u2019ve got a long haul,\u201d Mr. Franklin said, \u201cbut we\u2019re making it. Thank you for this and for your support.\u201d

Mr. Franklin recently resigned his seat after suffering a stroke in May.
