Police warn of dangers of celebratory gunfire From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

Two photos show a fiery scene after a Trussville Police officer crashed during a chase.

By Erica Thomas, managing editor

TRUSSVILLE — The Trussville Fire Department called in an independent fire investigator to look into the cause of a fire involving a police SUV, after a crash during a chase.

The Trussville Tribune obtained photos showing a Trussville Police SUV, moments after it caught fire on Saturday, June 29, 2019.

The Trussville Police Department was responding to a report of a carjacking that happened in the 6200 block of Kestral View Road.

According to Officer Ben Short, three men, with a pistol, robbed

a woman of her vehicle. Officers recognized the stolen vehicle traveling on Edwards Lake Road and attempted to stop it. The driver refused to stop.

During the pursuit, a patrol unit, a Chevrolet Tahoe, crashed and the vehicle caught fire in the area of Brewster Road. The officer was able to exit the vehicle and was transported to UAB Hospital where he was admitted for treatment.

Police Chief Eric Rush is taking a close look at what can be done to prevent a similar incident from happening again.

“The safety of my officers is a top priority,” said Chief Rush. “It really concerns me that the patrol

vehicle caught fire after the accident. Fortunately, my officer had the presence of mind to be able to break out a window and climb out in spite of being injured.”

Rush said he is working with the Trussville Fire Department on getting an independent investigation done on the vehicle.

“I have worked many wrecks in my career and I have only ever seen one other vehicle catch fire after a collision,” said Rush. “So it is definitely a rare occurrence. A large portion of the Police Department fleet is identical to this vehicle so hopefully, the cause can be determined. I most definitely want to ensure that this does not happen again.”

The stolen vehicle was located in the 600 block of Earline Circle. Witnesses told officers that two suspects, one wearing a white hoodie and the other a red shirt, bailed out on foot and ran into the tree line prior to officers arriving.

The vehicle was recovered and will be processed for evidence.

Officer Short said detectives are using every resource to track down the suspects.

If anyone has any information related to the case, they are asked to contact the Trussville Police Department at 205-655-2101. Anyone who wishes to remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward can contact Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama at 205-254-7777.

TRUSSVILLE — Law enforcement agencies across the state are warning about celebratory gunfire this 4th of July.

Celebratory gunfire is illegal, dangerous and damaging to property. In the past, people and animals have been hurt or killed due to people shooting guns towards the sky during holidays such as Independence Day and New Year’s Eve.

TRUSSVILLE — The Trussville Rotary Daybreak Club inducted its officers and board members for the 201920 year at its weekly meeting on June 26. Around the world, 33,000 Rotary Clubs are welcoming new officers and board this week.

CENTER POINT — Colorful water sprinklers, large buckets of water splashing children and giggles are all the rage at the new splash pad in Center Point’s Reed Harvey Park.

After years of planning, the pad and pavilion area is

now open. The city has ordered picnic tables that will be added soon. Mayor Tom Henderson said the splash pad is a big step forward for the city of Center Point.

“We’ve been working on the splash pad for about five years,” said Henderson. “We had a lot of hurdles but it’s here now and we’re happy

with it, especially happy that the kids have somewhere to go.”

On the pad are two rocks and a large frog for kids with disabilities. The frog will talk to the kids and the rocks will vibrate in order for kids to feel their way around the water playground.

The water is treated by

city staff every two hours.

The water is recycled through a large tank on the property.

There will also be two city staff members on site during hours of operation. Mayor Henderson said surveillance cameras will also be added to the property.

It was the year of Woodstock, Hurricane Camille, the Tate-LaBianca murders, man’s first walk on the moon, and the opening of a little burger restaurant named Wendy’s. But for better or worse on a national scale, it was a good year for a group of local graduates known as Ensley High School’s Class of 1969.

City attorney James Hill discussed the possibility of applying for an APPLE study to address costs associated with the four-way intersection leading into downtown.

“It a grant from the Regional Planning Commission, an 80% grant, up to $60,000” said Hill.

The study would focus largely on relocating utilities affected by the work on the site. The goal, explained Hill, would be to reduce the total cost of the project from around $6 million to around $3.5 million. “I think we can do it,” said Hill.

APPLE stands for Advanced Planning, Programming and Logical Engineering and is a transportation feasibility study developed by the Regional Planning Commission designed to help local governments considering transportation projects.

The council voted to approve the application during the regular session of the meeting. If

awarded, the city would need to fund 20% of the cost of the study. That amount could be as high as $12,000 which is expected to be a shared cost with St. Clair County.

The May 2019 general fund and water fund budgets were approved as the first items of business in the regular session. Discussion then moved to a storage building for police vehicles. The council approved $43,000 for an 1800 square foot building which will house the department’s Humvee units when not in use.

In his closing remarks, Mayor William Isley gave a follow up on job applications for city workers. The budget for new workers was approved in an earlier meeting this year. Mayor Isley said the city plans to hire the two workers approved soon and also must replace another worker who left in recent weeks.

Department heads were given an opportunity to provide reports at the end of the meeting.

Springville firefighter and paramedic Jared Echols passed away unexpectedly during training exercises at the Anniston Regional Training Center on June 17. Harvey said peer counseling sessions are being provided, as needed, to his department.

“We will do everything we can to learn from this,” said Harvey. Chief Harvey suggested the city monitor employees with routine annual physicals for his department.

“The wellness checks we do have identified several employees with issues they hadn’t known about,” said Harvey.

Mayor Isley asked Chief Harvey to make any recommendations to the council so the city can consider offering better annual exams to all city employees.

Alabama woman charged in fetal death, her shooter goes free

By Blake Paterson Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama district attorney's office hasn't decided whether to prosecute a woman indicted for manslaughter after she lost her fetus when she was shot during a fight.

Marshae Jones was five months pregnant when 23-year-old Ebony Jemison shot her in the stomach during a December altercation over the fetus's father, authorities said.

Jemison was initially charged with manslaughter, but a Jefferson County grand jury declined to indict her after police said an investigation determined Jones started the fight, and Jemison ultimately fired in self-defense. Jones, 28, was indicted by that same grand jury Wednesday.

The indictment stated Jones did "intentionally cause the death" of "Unborn Baby Jones by initiating a fight knowing she was five months pregnant."

However, the office of District Attorney Lynneice O. Washington said there has been no decision on whether to pursue the case against Jones.

With Washington out of the country, her chief assistant D.A. Valerie Hicks Powe put out a statement expressing "sympathy for all the families involved,

including Mrs. Jones, who lost her unborn child."

Both prosecutors are African American women; Washington took office in 2017 as the first black female district attorney to be elected in Alabama.

While the grand jury "had its say," Powe said the office has "not yet made a determination about whether to prosecute it as a manslaughter case, reduce it to a lesser charge or not to prosecute it." She promised a thorough review and "an outcome that is most just for all the parties involved."

"Foremost, it should be stated that this is a truly tragic case, resulting in the death of an unborn child," she said. "The fact that this tragedy was 100 percent avoidable makes this case even more disheartening."

Pleasant Grove police Lt. Danny Reid had called the fetus "the only true victim," brought unnecessarily into a fight and "depen-

dent on its mother to try to keep it from harm."

Advocates for women's rights expressed outrage

S

over Jones' arrest.

Lynn Paltrow, executive director of National Advocates for Pregnant Wom-

en, said women across the country have been prosecuted for manslaughter or murder for having an abortion or experiencing a miscarriage.

She said Alabama currently leads the nation in charging women for crimes related to their pregnancies. She said hundreds have been prosecuted for running afoul of the state's "chemical endangerment of a child" statute by exposing their embryo or fetus to controlled substances. But this is the first time she's heard of a pregnant woman being charged after getting shot.

"This takes us to a new level of inhumanity and illegality towards pregnant women," Paltrow said. "I can't think of any other circumstance where a person who themselves is a victim of a crime is treated as the criminal."

The district attorney's office said it will decide

how to proceed "only after all due diligence has been performed."

Alabama is one of dozens of states that have fetal homicide laws allowing criminal charges when fetuses are killed in violent acts, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Jones' arrest also drew criticism from the Yellowhammer Fund, which raises money to help women have access to abortions.

"The state of Alabama has proven yet again that the moment a person becomes pregnant their sole responsibility is to produce a live, healthy baby and that it considers any action a pregnant person takes that might impede in that live birth to be a criminal act," said Amanda Reyes, the group's director.

Associated Press reporters Jeff Martin in Atlanta and Kim Chandler in Montgomery, Alabama, contributed to this report.

Jeffco coroner asks public to help identify skeletal remains of white male From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

JEFFERSON COUNTY -Jefferson County Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Yates is asking the public to help in identifying the skeletal remains of a white male found dead in a Birmingham residence in May. Yates said the man was approximately 35-55 years old and approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall.

According to a statement from the coroner's office, on May 30, 2019, the Birmingham Police Department was

called to an abandoned residence after workers discovered partially skeletonized human remains inside the home.

The home had been abandoned for several years, was recently purchased, and the new owner was having the home cleaned out when the remains were discovered. The remains have been examined, but a cause and manner of death has not yet been established.

Yates said the man discovered at 1807 27th Street in Ensley had been dead for up to six months.

The decedent was clothed in blue jeans pants and a green-grey in color shirt with “Living Blood Is The Good Life” inscribed on the front of the shirt. A toothbrush and a 2013 quarter were collected from the right front pants pocket.

The coroner’s office is requesting assistance from the public with identifying the skeletal remains. Anyone who believes that the remains could be those of a missing family member or friend should contact the coroner’s office at (205) 930-3603.

JEFFERSON COUNTY: Plastic bag with unknown substance found in stomach of inmate who died in custody From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

JEFFERSON COUNTY — The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office released preliminary information about an autopsy performed on an inmate that died in jail on Friday, June 28, 2019.

"The preliminary autopsy report shows no signs of foul play in Smith's death," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

"A ruptured plastic bag containing an unknown substance (believed to be illicit drugs) was found in Smith's stomach during the examination. There is a high probability that the contents of the bag were absorbed into Smith's system.

The other preliminary findings were consistent with seizure deaths and drug toxicity."

Earnest True Smith, 36, of Birmingham, was in jail on a charge of failure to appear.

The Birmingham Police Department will be using the Shot Spotter Gunshot Location System to find anyone who shoots a firearm. Additional officers will be on hand to respond to calls.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ranked Alabama number two on the list for the most firearm deaths per 100,000 inhabitants.

Law enforcement asks everyone to stay safe by storing

on Wednesday, July 3, through midnight, Sunday, July 7.

Although ALDOT construction work zones will not be active during the holiday, work zone materials along the road and reduced speed limits will be in effect in many areas. Drivers taking to Alabama roads for the Fourth of July holiday should allow extra time to

reach their destination.

“Drivers should prepare to safely navigate the busy roads during the Independence Day holiday, as travelers drive to and from Alabama beaches, lakes and other popular summer destinations,” said Allison Green, Drive Safe Alabama coordinator, ALDOT. “Drive sober, alert and buckled up.”

firearms in a safe place and away from ammunition, so they are not accessible to children or other unauthorized persons.

You can get a free gun lock from the Trussville Police Department, while supplies last.

They will be available at the Freedom Celebration on the 4th of July. If you are unable to get one there, you can stop by the police department and pick one up.

Here are some more firearm safety tips: 1. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION.

2. TREAT ALL FIREARMS AS IF THEY WERE LOADED. 3. KEEP YOUR TRIGGER FINGER OUTSIDE THE GUARD AND OFF OF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO FIRE. 4. BE CERTAIN OF YOUR TARGET, YOUR LINE OF FIRE, AND WHAT LIES BEYOND YOUR TARGET. 5. ALWAYS WEAR APPROPRIATE EYE AND EAR PROTECTION WHEN SHOOTING AND MAINTAINING YOUR FIREARM.

4 Pinson Valley students compete in SkillsUSA Nationals Competition

By Erica Thomas, managing editor

PINSON — Four Pinson Valley Industrial Maintenance students proudly represented Pinson in the SkillsUSA Nationals competition in Louisville, Kentucky.

The National Leadership and Skills Conference was held June 25 - 28.

Students Torrance Stone, Jose Ocampo, Eli George and Khiyah Harris competed against teams from all over the United States. They entered two specific competitions: Occupational Health and Safety and Engineering Technology and Design.

According to instructor Lensey King, the competitions consisted of safety documentation, hazard recognition design projects, team interviews and problem-solving with budgeting constraints.

“I am proud of the students' effort and ability to

“I’m really proud of it. I think it will be great for the community,” said Henderson.

The splash pad was funded partly by a grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs’ Land and Water Con-

Prison system hopes to break ground on new prisons in 2020

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Department of Corrections is moving along with a plan to build three new prisons.

The prison system this week posted a "request for qualifications" from companies interested in building the facilities. The department

wrote that it intends to gather qualified companies and then take proposals later this year.

The department wrote that its goal is to break ground in mid-2020. The prisons would each house more than 3,000 male inmates.

Gov. Kay Ivey in February announced a plan to build three

new prisons. The governor said the state will first gather proposals from companies and then decide how to proceed.

Ivey has presented new facilities as part of the solution to prisons beset with violence and overcrowding. Critics have said staffing levels are a more pressing concern.

quick wit and easygoing style to the reunion event. But even more than that, he and fellow committee members Bob and Becky (Martin) Duvall, Catherine (Paterson) Bobo, Susan Huff, Nancy (Taylor) Stroup, Terry Yarborough, Stan Ritter, Charles Morello, Donna (Pate ) Kelly, Lynne (White) Hughston, Nancy Prickett, and Kathy (Hamby) Nailen, hope classmates will want to join in the fun.

Graduates from other EHS

classes are welcome to attend as well, said Estes. Current RSVPs range from the classes of ’65 to ’70.

“It’s going to be a great evening of reconnecting with old friends, finding out what life has brought their way, and sharing memories of a much simpler, less stressful time,” he said. “I’m really looking forward to it, and I encourage any of our classmates who aren’t already planning to attend to order their tickets and come join us!”

For complete details about the reunion, visit the Ensley High School Class of 1969 website at https://ensleyhighschool1969.myevent.com/.

But don’t delay. The deadline for ticket purchases is July 14; the deadline for ordering commemorative T-shirts is July 10. T-shirt sales will offset reunion expenses.

This was the third year PVHS' Industrial Maintenance class had the opportunity to compete nationally.

The students were sponsored by the Jefferson County

Board of Education, Magna Kamtek, ESC Central and DSC Pinson.

According to its website, SkillsUSA is a national membership association serving high school, college and middle school students who are preparing for careers in trade, technical and skilled service occupations, including health occupations, and for further education.

servation Fund. The grant paid for about $100,000 of the $180,000 splash pad. The city paid the remainder.

Entrance to the splash pad is $1 per person for residents.

The price is $4 for non-residents. The pavilion and splash pad area can be rented by residents for $50 for two hours. The rental price is dou-

Reed Harvey Park also has a Veterans Memorial, a Senior Center, walking trails and a playground. It’s at 335 Polly Reed Road, Center Point.

Rodney Bates Listing of the Month 636 Mermont Circle, Trussville

A very special opportunity in TRUSSVILLE on a Beautiful Private Lake.

They’ll be marking the 50th anniversary of that milestone with a reunion at Birmingham’s The Club on Saturday, August 3.

Among them is Joe Estes, First Baptist Church Trussville’s Minister of Worship, who will serve as emcee for the event. A multifaceted musician even in his high school days, Estes recalls participating in “anything and everything musical,” including band, choir, ensemble, quartet, and “The Good Ole’ Ensley Boys” with Bobby Horton. Not surprisingly, he names a production of the musical “Oklahoma” as one of his favorite high school memories and band sponsor Martha Bankston as one of his favorite teachers.

“There was just something special about Ensley High School during those years,” Estes said. “Probably the best thing was the community we all shared. Ensley was a great place to live back in the 1960s, and we all took genuine pride in our school.”

As someone accustomed to wielding a microphone, Estes is happy to contribute his

F i n a n c e & B u s i n e ss If it is to be, it is up to me

By David R. Guttery

Today, we’re going to examine the ten most important two letter words in the English language. If it is to be it is up to me. When I’m coaching a team, I remind my players that 90% of basketball is played between your ears. Only you have control over your own grey matter. Therefore, if it is to be (that I control my emotions) it is up to me.

We talk about striving for perfection, but never being perfect. We’re all going to make mistakes. A mature basketball player can make a mistake, and leave it on that end of the court.

A mature player can suffer a foul that isn’t called, and not react. A mature basketball player can rise above the trash talking from other players, and keep his mind focused on the game. A mature basketball player has total control over his own grey matter, and doesn’t let anything externally influence that over which he has control.

Sometimes, players return to the bench and say things like “but coach, the referee” and I stop him there, and say “what you meant to say is but coach, I allowed the referee to”.

Or maybe it’s, “but coach, the other player gave me a forearm shiver” and I’ll interrupt him and say “what you’re telling me is that you allowed another player to deprive you of your poise, correct?”.

Often, the difference between a championship team, and one that finishes in last place, is that the championship players maintained

control over their own grey matter at all times, because if it is to be it is up to me.

Its not up to the coach, or the other players, the referee, or the parents. Its up to you, and you alone. There are many places in life where this will also be true.

Within the previous articles, I’ve drawn analogies to outworking yesterday, and giving 100%, as it pertains to establishing goals, and then pursuing them.

Well, if achieving those goals is to be a reality, then it is up to you. As you pursue those goals, you can expect external influences to get in your way. Other players may throw elbows, and referees may not call an obvious foul, or it may be that you just dribbled the ball off of your own foot.

How you react to those external influences will determine your success as an investor.

Remember, character is found in the response, not in the moment. So, when you turn on the television and hear about how the world is falling apart, and today is the beginning of the next great recession, and there’s nothing to do today but panic – it is up to you – to rise above that noise and stay focused on the game.

Only you control that which is between your ears.

Those who play on championship teams, control their emotions as they rise above the trash talk, and recognize buying opportunities like we had at the end of the fourth quarter in 2018.

Those who can’t exercise such control typically miss those opportunities. One of your investment holdings

David Guttery

might throw you a fore arm shiver one day. How you respond to such adversity will have a huge impact on the long term outcome of your game plan.

We as investors have an irrational expectation that the market will always behave in a rational way, or at least, as we define what it means to be rational. Sometimes, we markets move in what seems to be an illogical way. Years ago, I told a referee that he wasn’t qualified to call a game of horse.

Well, that reaction cost my team two points and a tech-

nical foul.

There’s two ways you can react to everything. Successful investors exercise control over their grey matter and emotions, even when things don’t seem right, or fair, because if you don’t, the result is often worse than the moment itself.

Anyone can gnash their teeth and lose their cool.

There’s nothing special about that.

Only those who understand that if it is to be it is up to me are capable of maintaining their poise through adversity, and maintain their focus on the

long term goal of winning a championship.

Achieving financial success requires a level of poise that comes from within, and not influenced by external influences. If it is to be it is up to me. I’m here to help my clients maintain that attitude. Given the degree by which we’re bombarded by real time influences today, staying in control of your poise, your emotions, and your reactions to the moment is more critical than ever before for the successful achievement of long term goals.

Where they will be building relationships and seeking healing with other children on their same journey.

Clay resident Mandy Clark made sure that those children know they are not forgotten by those of us outside their particular circumstances. About a month ago, Clark started a fundraiser through her business with Usborne Books and More to raise money to donate “Wonders of the USA: Shine-aLight” books to each of the children who would attend

Journey Camp. Each book was personalized with the child’s name written in it, and each child received a flashlight, along with their book, which has hidden images that are exposed by light.

“A Soldier’s Child Foundation Book Drive for the Annual Journey Summer Camp was a complete success thanks to the generous donors in our community,” Clark said. ”We hand-delivered (Wonders of the USA) books and flashlights for all 125 camp children who have lost a parent in the services.”

Once word got out about the fundraiser, Clark raised

The newly renovated area, behind the Outlet Shops of Grand River, features an entertainment area, an 18-hole minigolf course, an off-leash dog park and other attractions.

The grand reopening on July 3 will include entertainment from Rollin' in the Hay, food trucks, food from Saw's BBQ and fireworks. Movies playing include Spider-Man: Far from Home, Men in Black: International, Toy Story 4, Aladdin, Secret Life of Pets 2 and A Dog's Journey.

nearly $1,200 in only two weeks, from June 2 – June 16. After the initial funds were raised, Usborne Books and More then contributed a 50% matching grant to meet the fundraiser’s goal and provide each and every “Gold Star” child with their very own book.

“The kids were excited to be at camp, many of them reunited with friends from the year before,” Clark said.

“The books were a big hit, garnering lots of oohs and aahs from the kids. We were glad to help share in ASC’s mission in making sure the children know their loved

Ford dealer ends July 4th gun-Bible deal over fatal shooting

CHATOM, Ala. (AP) — A Ford dealership in Alabama has ended a Fourth of July promotion that gifted a Bible, American flag and gift certificate for a 12-gauge shotgun to anyone who bought a new or used vehicle.

News outlets report Ford Motor Co. told Ford Chatom that the promotion was inap-

propriate after a worker fired from a California dealership killed two employees Tuesday before killing himself.

Dealership general manager Colin Ward says he's disappointed the automaker requested they end the promotion. He says the dealership is fulfilling any commitments it already made.

Ward says customers could have received a Torah or Quran instead of a Bible if they wanted during the "God, guns and freedom" promotion.

Ford Motor Co. spokesman T.R. Reid says the company wasn't involved in developing the local promotion.

ones are not forgotten, their service appreciated, and their children loved and supported.”

Clark attended sign-up day at the camp, located at Thompson’s Station, Tennessee, on Sunday, June 30, so that she could hand-deliver the books to each child.

Her parents, Eddie and Dale Sheehan, also attended with her.

“We got to meet the founder and executive director, who was so friendly and down to earth and obviously had earned the friendship of many of the campers,” Clark said. “He is a great mentor

to the kids. We met Bella, a camper who immediately upon seeing us with the books, swooped in to help in any and every way she could.

It was a great and memorable experience!”

The children at Journey Camp will remain at camp through July 6. Clark said that she likes to imagine them sitting in their cabins each night looking through their books with their flashlights.

For more information about A Soldier’s Child Foundation and Journey Camp, visit their Facebook page or website at asoldierschild.org.

Mandy Clark brought boxes of “Wonders of the USA: Shine-a-Light” books to the children attending Journey Camp.

Kids talk about God: How would you pray for America?

By Carey Kinsolving and Friends

"I would pray that I bless all the people in the world and all the animals, my cat, Rusty, especially," says Noah, age 6. Noah would also ask God to bless his house and other people's houses and "to make the parks really fun."

Somewhere in Petaluma, California, there's a blessed cat named Rusty.

"I pray that everyone in the world has food," says Clare, 5. We often take for granted the blessings of abundant food when many people suffer from malnutrition and starvation. It's easy to become desensitized because we're bombarded with so many media images of starving children.

Quality organizations like Food for the Hungry

and AMG International provide opportunities to sponsor needy children for less than the price of a soft drink or a cup of coffee a day. They care for the whole person by providing physical and spiritual food for children and their families. * "I pray that all the wars will stop but, most of all, that all kinds of people will know you (God): freaks, jocks, geeks and everyone will know you no matter who it is and what color they are," says Sandy, 10.

Heaven's streets will overflow with earth's outcasts. Whether empowered outcasts such as tax collectors or freaky outcasts such as the formerly demon possessed, they seized the moment by believing in Jesus as the promised messiah. They pressed into the kingdom (Luke 16:16).

Carey Kinsolving

For the most part, Jesus didn't attract the respectable and elite of society. Most religious leaders and rich people felt offended and threatened by Jesus' statement that whores and tax collectors would enter heaven before them.

"I pray that there won't be

any more violence or wars in America," says Justin, 7. "I pray that America will win if there are any wars."

Justin prays smart. No one wants war. But if evil people threaten life and liberty, we must stop them. The hijackers who flew planes into buildings on September 11 unveiled the face of evil. The kind of hatred that justifies murdering innocent civilians is demonic. Only the darkest of souls could believe the lie that a suicide mission to murder innocent civilians guarantees entrance into paradise.

We should thank God every day for the courageous men and women who have given their lives to secure freedom and for those who risk their lives to protect freedom. Police, firefighters and military personnel deserve our support, respect

and honor.

"I pray for all the people in the world who don't believe in Jesus Christ our Lord," says Catie, 9.

Prayer for people represents the unseen battle in spiritual realms against terror. If our eyes were opened, most of us would be shocked at the intensity of the spiritual war being fought for control of people including national leaders.

We live in a time when the harvest is great, but the laborers are few. Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel, not to force it on anyone.

The idea of forced love is a contradiction.

"But God demonstrates his own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).

God clearly demonstrated his love for us by sending his

son to die as the perfect sacrifice for our sins. I've found that God usually prompts me to demonstrate the love of Christ in some tangible way to those for whom I pray.

God's love usually works like a magnet that draws people.

Jesus said, "And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to myself" (John 12:32).

Begin praying for others today, and see the drawing power of God's love work in their lives.

Being A Christian in the Restaurant

By Michael J. Brooks, Siluria Baptist Church

I stood there a bit speechless since it didn’t work out like I’d planned, though I suppose it made me look kind-hearted.

I paid the bill for my hamburger lunch and then gave the cashier a five-dollar bill.

“Can I have some dollars?” I asked.

She responded, “Who was your server?”

I pointed to the server, also behind the counter, and the cashier gave her the $5.

The server quickly smiled and said “Thanks!”

I still don’t know how

“Can I have some dollars?” became “Give this to my server,” and I didn’t know how tactfully to regroup and start over. So I left after giving a $5 tip for a $7 meal— something like a 70 percent tip.

Our son managed a restaurant for several years and used to instruct me on appropriate tipping. According to payscale.com, the average salary for a server is $6.87 an hour, though it’s my understanding this is a bit high for our area. I’ve heard that servers earn two or three dollars per hour and rely on tips to make up the rest of what they need. Certainly,

we need to remember this when dining out.

I had two students at the Christian college I was affiliated with who gave their final persuasive speeches in public speaking class on proper tipping. Both had been or were currently servers, and both shared their experience that Sunday lunch was the worst meal for tipping. I found this quite an indictment of the faith community. I mentioned this in another class as an example of choosing a speaking topic from an area of personal expertise and had an interesting response from another student.

“Well, Christians give all their money to the church on Sunday morning and probably don’t have enough left to tip much,” she said.

I’m convinced neither assertion is correct.

Another area I’ve observed in restaurants is how badly some people treat their servers. I can’t say these are Christians, of course, but it’s disappointing how picky some diners become and how upset they get over minor issues. My mother always taught us to eat whatever was set before us and be grateful.

I often think when observing rude conduct in restaurants that diners ought to remem-

Michael Brooks, Siluria Baptist Church

ber that this isn’t their final meal before execution at the state penitentiary! They’ll

eat again the next day and probably won’t remember whatever irritated them the day before.

Part of Christian discipleship is treating everyone with kindness as good representatives of our graceful savior. I’ve often said how we treat others is the acid test of our faith. We should be kind to those who serve us food, though we may not need to tip 70 percent.

FAITH: Loving and Leaving Your Family

By Tyler Warner

We honor the family in the Church. But something so wonderful can become truly ugly when it goes bad.

For example, Abraham had several serious setbacks that all stemmed from his family. We think of Abraham as the old patriarch, but when God first called him, he was a young man named Abram. The Lord told him to leave his family and go to a new land alone. However, Abram departed with his father and all his household. Rather than going to the land of promise, the clan pitched

Tyler Warner

their tents at Haran, and stayed until his father had died. Only then did Abram

finally make his way to the promised land.

But Abram took his nephew, Lot, with him. Lot was a good man, but there was trouble when the two men’s herdsmen squabbled with each other. They decided to separate, and Abram was left with half of the promised land, and the lesser half at that.

God had promised that Abram would be a great nation. But as he grew older, the childless man began to doubt. This left him open to the suggestion from his wife that he have a child by her handmaiden, Hagar. Her son, Ishmael, was nothing

but trouble for the family, and was sent away later.

But when Abram was 99 years old, God spoke to him again, gave him his new name, and promised that in a year he would have a son by his 90-year-old wife.

God waited until Abraham had given up hope in his family – his father, nephew, wife, son – before acting.

Family had become an idol in his life, his point of security and trust and faith. God brought him to the place where he had no one left to trust but Him. In Luke 14:26, Jesus said, “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his

own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple”. This is not hatred as in malice, this is hatred by comparison. We are to be so committed to God that our commitment even to family looks like hatred.

Family held Abraham back from what God had called him, as an individual, to do. Our families may love us dearly, but they can be a potent throttle on our zeal for the Lord. Perhaps your love for Jesus makes the rest of them feel bad, or your call to ministry breaks

your mother’s heart. Your first love is the Lord Jesus Christ. Carry on in what God has told you to do, even against their protests, if you must. Then your love for Jesus will produce a new love for your family, that will bind you together better than ever before.

Tyler Warner is the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Trussville. CCT currently meets on Sunday morning at 9:30am, in the Cahaba Room of the Hilton-Garden Inn on 3230 Edwards Lake Pkwy. Listen to Tyler’s verse-by-verse Bible teaching at CalvaryChapelTrussville.com.

Patriotic Pinwheels

What you’ll need: • red and blue square origami paper (7”x7”) • ruler • pencil • 2 wooden dowels • Scissors • Tape • 2 miniature star-shaped brad • Toothpick How to make your Patriotic Pinwheels: • Take one sheet of your origami paper and turn it over so that the white side is facing up. Using the pencil and ruler, draw two straight lines from diagonal to diagonal, forming an “X.” (see photo) • Draw a dot in the center, where the lines cross.

From the center, draw one dot on each side, that is 1 inch from the center. Connect these dots, forming a circle. (see photo) • With adult supervision, use the scissors to cut along the diagonal lines to the 1 inch dots, making sure not to cut all the way to the center dot! (see photo)

• Using the ruler and pencil, measure on inch up from each corner and place a dot in the center between the diagonal line and the edge of the paper. (see photo) • Ask an adult to poke the toothpick into the central dot and each of the four dots in the corner. (see photo) • Take one of the miniature star-shaped brads and push it through the hole of one of the corners of the pinwheel. Continue turning the pinwheel and placing each of the four corner dots on the brad in order. Finally, push the end of the brad through the central dot. Carefully, turn the paper over and secure the brad by pushing the two ends apart and flattening. (see photo) • Take the scotch tape and tear off one piece. Place on the pointed end of the dowel and secure to the inside of the pinwheel.

• Repeat with the other piece of origami paper.

• Your pinwheel is now ready to grace the table or a flower vase!

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Tyler Skaggs had persevered through injuries to become a valuable pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels.

The left-hander had posted a photo of himself and teammates in cowboy hats for their weeklong trip to Texas, where he was set to start on the Fourth of July holiday.

Mets

From page 15

Photo courtesy of The New York Mets

The Mets expressed deep regret to Jim Gosger and Jesse Hudson for displaying their names and images in error during the “We Remember” segment of Saturday’s ceremony.

The club says it has spoken with both former players to apologize and wants to thank them along with their families and friends for their “gracefulness and understanding.”

The 76-year-old Gosger had 16 plate appearances for the 1969 Mets and returned to the team from 1973-74. Hudson, 70, pitched two innings for the ’69 club in his only ma-

jor league game.

“Somebody from the Mets called me that night and said, ‘We’re awful sorry about the screw-up,’” Gosger told his hometown newspaper, the Times Herald of Port Huron (Michigan). “I said, ‘What’s done is done.’ But I don’t know, it was a shock, I will say that.”

Equally upsetting as the Mets informing the world that he was dead was not getting an invitation to the ceremony, Gosger said.

“I didn’t get an invite for that either but then they recognize you for being dead, that’s what really hurt,” he said.

Gosger said the Mets could make things up to him by giving him a World Series championship ring from 1969. He got one from 1973 but not 1969.

“I was there in ’69 and I didn’t get the ring, and that’s the thing I wanted more than anything, the ring,” he said.

Perhaps another apology will follow from the Mets, who won Sunday for only the fifth time in 18 games. On the scoreboard, they misspelled Hudson’s first name as “Jessie.”

Angels From page 15

Skaggs died Monday, when the 27-year-old pitcher was found unresponsive in his Texas hotel room, stunning the Major League Baseball community and leading to the postponement of Los Angeles’ series opener against the Rangers.

Skaggs was “an important part of the Angels Family,” the team said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Carli, and his entire family during this devastating time.”

Police said they were investigating but no foul play was suspected. Skaggs was pronounced dead at the scene.

Skaggs, who would have turned 28 on July 13 and was married in December, had been a regular in the Angels’ starting rotation since late 2016, when the left-hander returned from Tommy John surgery. He struggled with injuries repeatedly in that time but was 7-7 with a 4.29 ERA in 15 starts this season to help an injury-plagued rotation.

will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. for each of the days.

The camp will be held at the Hewitt-Trussville Stadium located at 6450 Husky Parkway in Trussville.

In his cowboy-themed Instagram post on Sunday, Skaggs wrote “Howdy y’all” and made reference to the Texas trip for games against the Rangers and Houston Astros this weekend.

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said he was “deeply saddened” by Skaggs’ death.

“We will support the Angels’ organization through this most difficult period, and we will make a variety of resources available to Tyler’s teammates and other members of the baseball family,” Manfred said in a statement.

At the team’s hotel about 20 miles from the ballpark, All-Star center fielder Mike Trout was among players in the lobby and a nearby patio before they all left together to go to another part of the hotel. None of the players spoke to reporters, but Trout shared his thoughts on Twitter .

“Words cannot express the deep sadness we feel right now.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Carli and their families.

Remembering him as a great teammate, friend, and person

Trussville Girls’ 6U Softball team to participate in USSSA Rec World Series

By Shaun Szkolnik, sports editor

FOLEY – The USSSA Rec/ All-Star World Series is a fiveday double-elimination tournament that will be taking place in Foley starting July 9.

One of the participants this year will be Trussville’s own Girls’ 6U Softball team.

“We will play teams from all over the southeast,” said Mallory Halpin of Trussville Girls’ Softball. “The girls have the opportunity to participate in other activities as well, including gift exchange, team pin trading, skills class, and even an opening ceremony with a parade.”

Being able to participate in an event like this is an honor, but it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and commitment to get there.

“Our girls have been extremely committed this season,” said Halpin. “We started playing rec ball in March of this year, and we’ve not stopped since. Once the regular season was over, this All-Star (team) was picked and immediately started practicing for our Pre-Area Tournaments.

This team only practiced together for approximately two weeks before winning second place in the first Pre-Area USSSA championship. Since that time, we have dedicated ourselves to practice four days per week, sometimes practicing for three hours at a time.”

In addition to practice, teams

who will forever remain in our hearts… we love you, 45,” Trout said in the post.

A fan with an Angels jersey sat on a rock wall near the hotel entrance with a bouquet of flowers attached to a balloon that read “thank you.”

Skaggs is the first Angels player to die during a season since Nick Adenhart was killed by a drunken driver 10 years ago. The 22-year-old rookie right-hander was coming off his first start of the 2009 season, his fourth career game in the big leagues.

“Not only do we practice, but our girls and parents have dedicated many hours to fundraising,” said Halpin. “We have sold t-shirts, and hoodies, donuts, raffle tickets and even got to hang out with awesome employees at Marcos Pizza, Fresh Value grocery, and most recently Metro Diner.”

ties such as dance, gymnastics, swimming, art, and piano. These girls and their parents have put in many hours of practice and lots of sweat to get to the World Series.

They have practiced hard, played hard and fundraised on many ‘free weekends,’ but most importantly, they have put their best efforts into it all. Of course, they get tired, but they have the drive to do their best and have fun!”

While it is exciting to perform at such a high level, the girls have not lost sight of the

The majority of these athletes have played softball for a couple of seasons and now have made the commitment to play at a higher level.

“Each girl has something great to bring to the team whether it’s a great ability to catch, throw, hit, run bases and most importantly, encourage her teammates,” said Halpin. “Not only are they great at softball, but our girls also enjoy other activi-

fact that playing a team sport is about so much more than wins and losses.

“There’s no way to express the excitement these girls have when they get together,” said Halpin. “Softball is an important part of what we are doing this summer, however, more importantly, these girls have developed relationships that will hopefully last a very long time. They love each other like sisters.”

As Kerr swung in two crosses from the right wing that Mertz latched on to and finished in the 25’ and 39’ minutes.

Head Coach Tommy Soehn shook things up to start the second half, bringing on both #14 Daniel Johnson and #22 Mathieu Laurent for #5 Mikey Lopez and #88 Femi Hollinger-Janzen in the 46’ minute. But, with the three-goal cushion, Pittsburgh were happy to hold the ball mostly in their own half, or allow Legion FC non-threatening possession themselves, before the home team put in a fourth goal in the 75’ minute. Much like the previous two, Pittsburgh got the ball out on the right, and swung in a cross was headed in. #9 Chandler Hoffman got Legion FC on the board in the 82’ minute with a nice goal that he chipped past the onrushing ‘keeper. #10 Prosper Kasim whipped a ball in that #7 Brian Wright expertly dummied, and due to his run a Riverhounds defender slightly misplayed the bouncing ball, letting Hoffman in on goal to finish.

“I think right now we lack in confidence,” said Soehn. “We’re giving up early goals and all we talked about was making sure the first 15 minutes we came out square, and again we let one go.

We’re going to need to take this break and reinvent ourselves.”

crash near Miami Beach, Florida, in September 2016. He was 24.

Darryl Kile, who pitched in the majors for 12 seasons (19912002), was on the road with the St. Louis Cardinals when he died in June 2002 in his Chicago hotel room at age 33. Albert Pujols, now a member of the Angels, was Kile’s teammate then.

The Angels clubhouse was never opened to the media before players and coaches who had already arrived for Monday night’s game left together to return to the hotel.

Texas general manager Jon Daniels and manager Chris Woodward told their players what had happened and dismissed them.

Woodward described it as “one of those moments where you’re just kind of numb” and said the Rangers were thinking about Skaggs’ family and the Angels organization.

“There were a lot of pretty emotional guys in there,” Woodward said. “Some guys that didn’t even know him were visibly shaken.”

Rangers officials said there had been no discussions on the status of Tuesday’s game or the rest of what was supposed to be a four-game series. They said only that Monday’s game would not be made up this week.

“Real life takes precedence here,” Daniels said. “Some things are a lot bigger than baseball.”

The Angels’ Triple-A team, the Salt Lake Bees, also postponed their scheduled game at Tacoma on Monday night.

Skaggs was born in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Woodland Hills, in the far western part of the sprawling San Fernando Valley. He graduated from Santa Monica High School in 2009, when the Angels drafted him in the first round.

The Angels traded Skaggs to Arizona in 2010, and he started his big league career with 13 appearances over two seasons for the Diamondbacks. The Angels reacquired him in December 2013, and he won 25 games over five seasons with the club.

Skaggs started a career-high

24 games last season, going 8-10 with a 4.02 ERA. He missed time in April this season with a sprained ankle but came back strong.

Skaggs was part of the same Angels draft class as Trout, and they were roommates in the low minor leagues before Skaggs was traded to Arizona. They played on the same team in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 2010.

Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer, who played with Skaggs in the Diamondbacks organization, tweeted: “We came up together. We won together.

We laughed and celebrated together. Today, we all lose and mourn together.”

Skaggs’ mother, Debbie, was the longtime softball coach at Santa Monica High School. She famously provided postgame tips on his pitching mechanics, even deep into his big league career.

Skaggs grew up in Santa Monica, on the west side of the sprawling Los Angeles metroplex, but rooted for the Angels instead of the closer Dodgers.
