Miss Trussville 2020

Trussville PD break window of car to rescue dog

Harley Chapin crowned Miss Trussville

By Erica Thomas, managing editor

TRUSSVILLE — The 2020 Miss Trussville has been crowned. Harley Chapin, a University of Alabama at Birmingham graduate, will take on the title for one year.

Chapin has competed in the Miss Trussville pageant before and said she is thankful to take the title to Miss Alabama. It will be her fourth time competing in the state title pageant.

“The Miss America Organization has been phenomenal to me and so many other girls,” Chapin said. “I was never a super shy girl, but I would have never been able to get out in front of a huge crowd and talk to people the way I do now.”

Chapin’s impressive resume includes titles such as Miss UAB 2017, Miss Comfort Care 2018 and Miss Heart of Dixie 2019.

When she’s not dressing up and taking the stage, Chapin said she loves spending time in Trussville with friends.

She has attended several special events and loves the food Trussville has to offer.

Chapin graduated from Shelby County High School.

In Spring 2019, she graduat-

ed from UAB with a degree in art studio graphic design and a minor in communication studies. She plans to start her own freelance business in order to make time for her duties as Miss Trussville.

Chapin was awarded a $2,000 scholarship. She plans to use the money to pay off her stu-

dent debt, but she says scholarships are only a small part of what the Miss America Organization has to offer.

“The Miss America Organization has just really made me realize that my voice matters and my opinion matters,” Chapin said. “It helps us see there isn’t a difference be-

tween a man and a woman.

We’re all equal and we can do everything that a man can do and sometimes we even do it better.”

Chapin also said Miss America and Miss Alabama teaches empowerment and sisterhood.

Chapin’s platform is “Recycle Life,” and she wants to raise awareness about the importance of organ donation.

A close friend recently found out he needed a heart transplant and Chapin took to the internet to find out more.

“After doing research on organ donation, I realized that not enough people are registered organ donors and a lot of people don’t understand what it means to be one,” she said. “It became important to me and my first fundraiser was to raise money for him.”

By selling T-shirts, Chapin raised $600 to go towards her friend’s medical bills.

Another issue Chapin is concerned about is the use of social media among her generation.

“We can sit behind a screen and comment whatever we want and I feel like my generation thinks there’s no consequence for it,” she said.

Pinson mayor signs ‘Good Neighbor Pledge’ From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

JEFFERSON COUNTY — Pinson’s Mayor Hoyt Sanders has signed the “Good Neighbor Pledge” that was first signed by 22 other mayors in April. Sanders signed the pledge after the June 20 council meeting.

The pledge is a pact to combat business poaching and to pursue growth for the region.

TRUSSVILLE — When you hear the sirens, you know there is an emergency. But not everyone knows what to do when they see the lights behind them. That’s why local firefighters let The Trussville Tribune ride-along with them on emergency calls.

Batallion Chief Al Tinney with the Trussville Fire Department said pulling over for emergency vehicles is of utmost importance. Every second counts and lives depend on fire trucks and ambulances racing to the scene of an injury or illness.

“Time may be of the essence, due to the emergency that they called about,” Tinney said. “It could be somebody that’s having difficulty breathing. Or, with a fire call, the more time that goes by, the more dangerous it is for firefighters because the structure will become less stable.”

It can be frustrating to the apparatus operator, or the driver of the fire engine when cars don’t let them through traffic.

“You have to stay off your

Center Point Fire responds to car in pool off Old Springville Road phones when driving, don’t be driving and taking pictures of a wreck scene going down the road, slow down, and move over a lane if that’s available,” said Tinney.

Tinney also said not everyone that doesn’t pull over is at fault. There are several reasons drivers may not hear the sirens or know how to react. The loud sirens can be jolting and can cause confusion for drivers, especially

the elderly. If you see lights behind you, simply pull over to the right shoulder or right lane to allow the emergency vehicles to pass through. Be sure to check around you to avoid hitting another vehicle.

“When the lights are coming towards you, pull over to the right shoulder because sometimes emergency vehicles need to drive on the wrong side of the road to get around traffic,” said Tinney.

If you are in a traffic jam and are unable to move, stay put until the truck can find a way around the traffic.

Firefighters, ambulance drivers and police are in danger when working on a scene on the side of a road. Tinney said onlooker traffic can cause serious accidents involving cars on the road and first responders on the shoulder.

Peter Pan comes to Springville July 25-28 From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

SPRINGVILLE — Now in its 43rd year, the Springville Community Theatre will be bringing Peter Pan to the stage. With a cast of 85, performances will run July 25, 26 and 27, at 7 p.m., with a matinee on July 28 at 2 p.m.

Under the leadership of June Morgan Mack of the UAB Department of Theatre, the Springville Community Theater has performed numerous children's shows and workshop productions as well as Oklahoma!, Music Man, The Wizard of Oz, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The King and I, The Sound of Music, Annie Get Your Gun, Beauty and the Beast, South Pacific and Mary Poppins.

Each show gives opportunities to people of all ages to work together on a creative project with a cast of 70-100 and backstage and office volunteers of 50 or more.

"An experience like this not only fosters a positive community spirit, it also helps you develop new skills, build confidence, forge life-long friendships while providing a fun night for people to applaud their friends," Mack said.

When the group began in 1976, the focus was on children's plays. The goal was to allow children to gain confidence through public performance and for parents to see their children praised by their community, encouraging the children to strive for bigger and better things. Over the years the group has expanded to large-scale shows requiring casts of all ages. The group is a true community theater in that they cast every person who auditions, anyone can work on the show with no experience, the staff is all-volunteer, and ticket prices are kept as low

as possible so that anyone can afford to see the show.

This year, the group has a special "Help Peter Fly Fund" to cover the added expense of flying. The theater group has secured the services of a theatrical flying company out of Indianapolis, Indiana, to install the flying equipment and train actors to use it.

The shows are carefully chosen to fit the mindset of the community at the time of the production. They performed Oklahoma! when everyone was worried about finances to remind them that they could live simply and go back to their roots to find inner strength. Their last show, Mary Poppins, addressed the need to spend more time with family and slow down rather than rushing through life. Peter Pan was chosen because of its theme of a return to childhood, which the group feels

FEATURED HOME OF THE WEEK

is timely and practical when solutions to today's issues seem out of reach.

"In the world of a child, anything's possible, and it's this type of thinking that can bring the best ideas forward," Mack said.

Other themes include making friends with your enemies (symbolized by the Indians in the story) and being grateful for the little things in life -- which can really lift one's spirits in tough times. As Peter says when he's teaching the children to fly, "Think lovely thoughts and up you go!"

Briefly, Peter Pan is the story of a boy who refuses to grow up. He leads little boys who are lost in London to a magical place called Neverland. There they live in an underground hideout, befriend fierce Indians, fight pirates, and finally duel with a crocodile. Add to this that Peter can fly and has a fairy sidekick named Tinkerbell.

The production is taking place at the Springville Middle School. Tickets may be reserved by going to springvillecommunitytheater.com or calling Donna Smith at (205) c937-0646 or Beth Bolton at (205) 601-1334. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.

Mayor Sanders said he wanted to present the pledge to the council before signing.

“It’s not contractual, it’s a pledge, but I wanted to let the council in on it,” said Sanders.

Sanders said he asked for an amendment by the Jefferson County Mayor’s Association before committing to the pledge. The amendment included a provision for a business losing its premises in a

situation where the business had no control over the said premise.

“I want the citizens to know that we read the pledge carefully before signing onto it,” Sanders said.

The agreement means cities will not lure businesses away from other cities and that they will not provide incentives for businesses moving from one city to the other.

The mayors all said they are committed to making the county’s economy stronger by putting trust in one another and exhibiting the highest level of professional conduct and integrity.

CENTER POINT — Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama is asking for information locating a man charged with domestic violence by strangulation or suffocation.

JEFFERSON COUNTY — A child was attacked by a dog in Jefferson County on Friday, July 12.

According to law enforcement the call for assistance was received at 11:29 a.m.

Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a convenience store at 7757 Highway 75 in the Palmerdale community.

The caller reported that a 4 year-old-boy had been at-

tacked by a dog. The caller reported that the dog was in the truck with the child when the dog suddenly attacked the child. The child’s mother attempted to get the dog off of the child and was assisted by several citizens. They were finally able to get the dog off the child but the child suffered severe injuries.

According to authorities the child had to be airlifted to Children’s hospital for treatment. Animal control will take custody of the dog. This

incident is still under investigation.

Chapin also said social media images can lead to false impressions.

“They show the good things,” Chapin said. “No one shows the bad things that are happening in their life, so knowing that there is always a downside. You don’t have to be like somebody else, and that isn’t even them anyways.

“But I also see the good in social media. It can do a lot of great things for my generation if we learn how to use it.”

In pageants, Chapin’s talent is clogging. She has been in dance for several years. Her other hobbies are softball and online window shopping.

Chapin said of all her talents and hobbies, her favorite thing to do is eat. Her go-to?

Pizza and Dr. Pepper.

Chapin hopes to encourage others to be their authentic self.

“Don’t be afraid to be who you want to be,” Chapin said. “There is no right and wrong in this world to being a person. Have bad jokes and think they’re funny. That’s okay.”

Miss Trussville 2020 said she also prides herself on being authentic.

“I’m a handful and what you see is what you get! I love to joke even if no one is laughing,” she said. “I try to be well-rounded and good at everything. You can’t be good at everything, but I attempt it.”

TRUSSVILLE — Miss Trussville’s Outstanding Teen is ready to take the crown to the next level.

Laura Grace Henry was crowned on Sunday, July 14.

Henry, who is from Prattville, is excited to represent the city of Trussville.

“This organization has just been such a blessing in my life,” said Henry. “We’re so thankful for preliminaries like Miss Trussville.”

This will be Henry’s fifth year going to compete in Miss Alabama’s Outstanding Teen.

The 16-year-old beauty is a student in the University of Texas’ online high school program. She is excited to earn scholarship money through the Miss America Organization and she hopes to encourage more girls in the Trussville area to get involved in order to realize the benefits the organization has to offer.

“This organization focuses so much on community service and being involved in your community and with your friends, so for me it’s about being a positive role model,” she said.

Henry’s talent is piano.

For the Miss Trussville pageant, she played “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Her platform is “Hiding in Plain Sight: Teens Against

“It’s so important that we educate teens and parents about teen dating violence because, unfortunately, this is a growing epidemic in our country,” said Henry. “One in three teens will be in an abusive relationship, so I’m so blessed to be in a position

to go out and educate the public.”

Henry said she was a part of the Rising Star Program as a child and always knew she wanted to continue her journey with Miss Alabama by competing for Miss Alabama’s Outstanding Teen title. She will take the state stage in March 2020.

Tinney said moving over is also important when drivers see disabled vehicles on the side of the road. Even when there are no flashing lights, it is important to slow down and move over.

In Alabama, the “Move Over Law” states you must slow to a speed at least 15 miles per hour less when the speed limit is 25 miles per

hour or greater. The maximum speed limit changes to 10 miles per hour if the posted speed limit is less than 20.

Violating the state’s “Move Over Law” can result in a misdemeanor charge punishable with a $25 fine.

A second violation comes with a $50 fine and a third violation costs $100.

meeting, the council considered several options, which included the possibility of not having an atlarge councilperson for the remainder of the 14 months before the next election, approving the decision to replace the councilperson or tabling the matter until the next regularly scheduled council meeting.

At the end of the meeting, the council held a roll call vote to fill the vacant seat: • Councilperson Ann Cowan voted no • Councilperson Corky Massey voted no • Council President Tony Alldredge voted yes • Councilperson Ann Brown voted yes • Mayor Betty Bradley voted no The decision of the council was that the seat would not be filled until after the next election.

The purpose of the July 15 meeting was to answer some concern that the decision would be prohibited by state law. Shortly after the meeting started, the council went into execu-

tive session.

“The attorney (City Attorney Johnny Brunson) called to go into executive session to discuss the concerns that one of the council members had, there was an allegation made about some illegal stuff,” said Mayor Betty Bradley. “And so, he called to go into executive session.

We came back out, and basically, nothing changed.

The seat is going to remain vacant. He did say that if anybody, one of the council members, wanted to submit a name to the governor that they could submit a name to the governor. But basically, nothing changed.”

The reason that a council member would submit a name to the governor is because, as explained by the city attorney at an earlier meeting, if the council failed to fill the seat (or did not explicitly choose to not fill the seat) within 60 days of the resignation being offered, then the matter would go to the governor who would then choose a replacement.

to “remind her that theft isn’t beautiful.”

Man found guilty of murder in baseball bat beating death of girlfriend From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

BIRMINGHAM – A Gardendale man who was arrested in March 2018 for beating his girlfriend to death has been found guilty of murder.

Jon Rodney Bowden, 41, was charged with an intentional murder charge after authorities said they found that Bowden “intentionally caused the death of Therese ‘Terri’ Lynn Miller, by beating her with a metal baseball bat.”

Miller’s body was discovered on March 18, 2018, by Gardendale Police after receiving a

By Erica Thomas, managing editor

call from a concerned family member. A police officer was flagged down in the 400 block of Greenwood Avenue at approximately 5:30 p.m. on March 18. When the officers made an entry into the residence, they discovered Miller, who was pronounced dead on the scene.

Bowden was arrested off Georgia Road and Oporto Ma-

drid Boulevard while walking the railroad tracks. Police later took him into custody with the help of the Birmingham Police Department and a K9 officer and has been jailed since March 21.

Bowden pleaded not guilty of the charges against him. He now faces the possibility of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

U.S. Congressman Bradley Byrne makes stop in Trussville to talk about run for Senate From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

The first Republican candidate to announce he was running against Democrat Doug Jones for the U.S. Senate seat made a stop in Trussville to talk about his campaign.

Since U.S. Representative Bradley Byrne made the big announcement, several other Republicans have thrown their name in the hat including Judge Roy Moore, Secretary of State John Merrill, former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville and State Representative Arnold Mooney.

“It doesn’t trouble me at all to have four or five other people in the race,” said Byrne. “That doesn’t impact what we’re doing.”

Byrne expects a lot of interest in the 2020 race.

“I tell my staff all the time, don’t get distracted,” he said. “We have a pretty good plan. We need to get out there and talk to people and let them know me.”

Byrne said his experience in Washington, D.C. is important for the state of Alabama.

“We need a senator up there that’s going to wake up every day and think, ‘I’m the senator from Alabama, my job today and every day is to take care of Alabama,’” Byrne said.

Byrne believes whoever wins the race should realize there is more to the job than political drama.

“If you’re just going up there to shoot your mouth off on national television, you can do that and plenty of people do, but that’s not being the effective senator that Alabama needs,” he said.

Just last week, Byrne’s amendment to prohibit the transfer of Guantanamo Bay detainees to the U.S. was defeated. That type of move is one reason Byrne hopes a Republican takes the seat back from Democrat Doug Jones.

“For 58 years, the United States Congress has passed a National Defense Authorization Act every year in a bipartisan fash-

ion,” he said. “My first five years in the House, being on the Armed Services Committee, we worked very hard on it…because national defense is so darn important.

“This year, the Democrats, who control the House now, have decided to go hardcore partisan, even on national defense. And I think that’s a detriment to Alabama and I think that’s to the detriment to the defense of the country.”

When it comes to the election, Byrne believes we will see scandal and innuendo during campaigning, not only in the general election but also in the primary.

“I think we need to be skeptical about what we’re hearing and be skeptical about the candidates…I anticipate it’s going to happen, and I think we all need to be skeptical of what we see,” said Byrne.

The Eatery at Ferus Artisan Ales in Trussville: Meet the chef

By Erica Thomas, managing editor

TRUSSVILLE — As finishing touches are being put on Ferus Artisan Ales in Trussville’s downtown entertainment district, there is something cooking in the kitchen.

Ashley Bolton has been named Executive Chef for the Eatery at Ferus. With 15 years experience in the food and beverage industry, Bolton will bring a creative twist to Americana pub cuisine.

“When you go to a brewery you expect certain foods to be there,” Bolton said.

“This is no exception, you’ve got wings and burgers, but I like to do things differently, so hopefully the public will enjoy my twist on things.”

The preliminary menu is still in the review process.

One of the items already approved is a classic Cuban sandwich. But this is no ordinary Cuban sandwich. It’s

wrapped in an egg roll bun.

The pulled-pork Swiss cheese and housemade pickles will be wrapped tight in order to allow patrons to enjoy their meal while walking around the brewery and other parts of the entertainment district.

Bolton said she wants her food to be practical and interesting. Her love for the culinary arts started while she was majoring in music at

Jacksonville State University. That’s when she realized she was made for something more.

“I’m from New Orleans, so my whole family is very

food-oriented. I decided in college I wanted to take that direction,” said Bolton.

Bolton moved to Springville, Alabama when she was only eight-years-old, so her food is influenced by southern cooking with a New Orleans flare.

“I try to keep it local. I like southern ingredients,” she said. “It’s not Cajun, although I’m definitely not opposed to putting some of that on the menu in the future.”

For that southern taste, Bolton said her favorite way to spice things up is to use bacon for seasoning.

“It’s full-flavor, I don’t like to skimp on any seasonings or flavors,” she said.

Bolton will make all the sauces and dressings for the eatery, from scratch. She has plenty of experience and professional influences that go into every dish.

“Brett Jenkins, who owns Harp and Clover Irish Pub in Gadsden and George Reis, who I worked with at Ocean for four years, have been been very positive culinary influences in my life,” Bolton said.

As the executive pastry chef and the production kitchen manager at Indian Hills Country Club, in Tuscaloosa, she honed her skills and she

says she is ready to take on the challenge at Ferus.

“I love what this is going to bring to the area. It’s something that has not been done around here. It’s going to bring jobs and a lot of entertainment to the area,” she said.

The family-oriented atmosphere that will be offered at Ferus Artisan Ales, will have an open floor plan.

You can watch the brewing process while hanging out at the bar or sitting in the dining area.

The decor is uniform with the name “Ferus,” which is a Latin term meaning wild or savage. The reclaimed wood throughout the building offers a natural feel. Copper-plating and custom-built furnishings offer a modern, urban and contemporary feel.

The dining area sits between the tap room and the kitchen. With a large workspace that includes a double-decker oven, a six-burner stove, a flat-top, a grill and a salamander broiler, Bolton said she will be ready to take on the masses.

“I hope that we are so slammed, we don’t even get a chance to close the doors,”

Founded with the state of Alabama in 1819, Jefferson County grew from a sparsely settled agricultural county to a powerhouse of industry fueled by entrepreneurial drive and rich deposits of iron ore, coal, and limestone.

A historical center of the Civil Rights Movement’s fight for justice and equality, we are known today for medical breakthroughs, advanced technology, and award-winning restaurants. With a diverse population, extensive green space, vibrant communities, and ongoing innovation, we celebrate 200 years.

Ashley Bolton, Executive Chef

Bolton said. “We are going to be prepared for it. It’s going to be a lot of work and a lot of pressure but it’s going to be

are flatbread sliders and pickled-fried chicken.

When it comes to sweets, Bolton’s experience as a pas-

all worth it.”

The eatery will have gluten-free options, vegetarian options and kid-friendly items. The kid’s menu is also being finalized but some things you can expect to see

try chef is bound to impress.

She plans to have a staple item and eventually rotate a variety of desserts. She also has plans for the future.

“Hopefully I can pair up with some local ice creameries or something just to get some more local businesses involved,” she said.

Bolton will be cooking the food herself and she is now looking for a staff of dishwashers and cashiers. If you’re interested and would like to apply, email Ashley Bolton at Chef@FerusAles. com.

Ferus Artisan Ales is hoping to open in September 2019.

Inside the Statehouse: Alabama is a Republican State but U.S. is probably a Democratic Nation The 2020 Presidential Election year has already begun. It usually begins on Labor Day of the year prior to the Election. However, in recent decades the parade has started early. They really are four-year caravans. They begin the day after the President is sworn in.

Indeed, President Trump never shut down his campaign organization, He essentially has never stopped campaigning. He loves to campaign.

He loves to entertain. That is really what he was before he was President and that is what he has been as President, an entertainer. He treats the Presidency as though it is an extension and continuation of his television game show. As long as he is the center of attention, he is happy.

Trump is amazingly sim-

ilar to our two most colorful and prominent Alabama political icons, Big Jim Folsom and George Wallace. He is just as uninhibited and disarming as Big Jim was with the same irreverence for protocol and decorum. He is similar to Wallace in that he really likes campaigning and prefers campaigning to governing. Wallace really didn’t want to govern, he just liked running and getting elected governor.

Speaking of Wallace, he liked to run for President also. He ran several times.

He usually ran under some third-party banner. As he ran around the country running as a third-party state’s rights candidate, he would proclaim that there is not a dimes worth of difference in the national Democratic and Republican parties. However, even Wal-

lace could not say that with a straight face today.

Folks, there are a lot of philosophical differences in the national Republican and Democratic parties.

They really should change their names to the Conservative and Liberal parties. The Republican Party is extremely conservative, and the Democratic Party is very liberal. This extreme philosophy by each party is what has driven people into different political corners and is the reason for the political polarization of American politics.

The electronic media and news networks have further driven and enhanced this polarization. Fox News Network is simply the network that Republicans watch. CNN and MSNBC could be and people assume they are appendages

Much Needed Reforms Coming to the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles

By Paul DeMarco, former state representative

There appears to be light at the end of the tunnel after years of controversy for one of the state’s most troubled institutions - the Alabama Board of Pardons and Paroles.

First, the legislature this past session passed new legislation that made much needed reforms to the board.

Starting September 1st of this year, new restrictions will be placed on when an inmate can be considered for parole and the governor will now have the power to appoint the director of the board.

Secondly, the Governor has appointed former two term Attorney General Charlie Graddick as that new director of the Board of Pardons and Paroles.

Graddick has earned the reputation of being an advocate for victims and a tough prosecutor. His leadership is a welcome change to the board that has been mired in controversy after the early release of an inmate who later murdered three people in Guntersville last year. In addition, an investigation by WSFA 12 News in Montgomery last year revealed the early release of violent inmates and dozens of others up for parole.

The three member board was forced by the governor to

of the national Democratic Party. The CBS Stephen Colbert show is unashamedly the hate Donald Trump show.

They should change the title to that name.

The two-party machinery and nomination process is designed to choose a presidential contender as their nominee that is from the extreme segment of the party.

This is especially true in the Democratic ranks. Therefore, the probability of a left-wing socialist like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren being the nominee is likely.

This does not bode well for our anomaly junior Democratic U.S. Senator Doug Jones.

He will be running along with one of his liberal Democratic buddies. Jones has organized and voted lockstep with the Democrats since his arrival last year, which is what most folks who know Jones expected. He is a real national, liberal Democrat. He has always been and will always be a Democrat.

In Jones’s defense, he is not a demagogue. He will not change his stripes or beliefs to get elected. That was evident with his vote against the conservative Trump Supreme Court appointee, Brett Kavanaugh. Jones was the only Southern Senator to vote against Trump.

Indeed, Jones is the only Democratic Senator in the Deep South. His being on the ticket with the Democratic Presidential candidate in

Steve Flowers Inside the Statehouse

November 2020 in the Heart of Dixie, makes his chance of being elected slim-to-none. It would be a surprise if he gets 40% even with a ton of leftwing money pouring into the state on his behalf.

Last year’s General Election proved we are a Red Republican State. One of the most Republican in the Nation. Donald Trump, or for that matter any Republican, will carry Alabama next year. Mickey Mouse would carry Alabama 60 to 40 if he were the nominee. However, Donald Duck would carry California and New York if he were the Democratic nominee.

Folks, I hate to break it to you, but California and New York

have more electoral votes than we do.

It was just as much an anomaly that Donald Trump carried Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and even Ohio and Florida, as it was that Doug Jones won in Alabama. As we look to the 2020 elections, it is evident that Alabama is a Republican state.

However, the United States is probably a Democratic nation.

See you next week.

enact new regulations as well last year to make them more accountable for the early release of those convicted of violent crime. In addition, she appointed a new chairman of the board.

Groups like the Victims of Crime and Leniency who advocate for Alabama crime victims supported the legislation and the appointment of

Graddick. Yet, the Southern Poverty Law Center opposed the efforts to reform the parole board.

Hopefully with this legislation and Graddick at the helm of the Board the public will be safer and have confidence in the system.

Apollo 11 at 50: Celebrating first steps on another world

By MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A half-century ago, in the middle of a mean year of war, famine, violence in the streets and the widening of the generation gap, men from planet Earth stepped onto another world for the first time, uniting people around the globe in a way not seen before or since.

Hundreds of millions tuned in to radios or watched the grainy black-and-white images on TV as Apollo 11’s Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969, in one of humanity’s most glorious technological achievements.

Astronaut Michael Collins, who orbited the moon alone in the mother ship while Armstrong proclaimed for the ages, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” was struck by the banding together of Earth’s inhabitants.

“It was a wonderful achievement in the sense that people everywhere around the planet applauded it: north, south, east, west, rich, poor, Communist, whatever,” Collins, now 88, told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

That sense of unity did not last long. But 50 years later, Apollo 11 — the culmination of eight years of breakneck labor involving a workforce of 400,000 and a price tag in the billions, all aimed at winning the space race and beating the Soviet Union to the moon — continues to thrill.

For the golden anniversary, NASA, towns, museums and other institutions are holding ceremonies, parades and parties, including the simultaneous launch of 5,000 model rockets outside the installation in Huntsville, Alabama, where the behemoth Saturn V moon rockets were born. Apollo 11K and Saturn 5K runs are “go” at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Armstrong, who expertly steered the lunar module Eagle to a smooth landing with

just seconds of fuel left, died in 2012 at 82. Aldrin, 89, who followed him onto the gray, dusty surface, was embroiled recently in a now-dropped legal dispute in which two of his children tried to have him declared mentally incompetent. He has kept an uncharacteristically low profile in the run-up to the anniversary.

Back in 1961, NASA had barely 15 minutes of human suborbital flight under its belt — Alan Shepard’s history-making flight — when President John F. Kennedy issued the Cold War-era challenge of landing a man on the moon by decade’s end and returning him safely.

At the time, the Soviets were beating America at every turn in the space race, with the first satellite, Sputnik, and the first spaceman, Yuri Gagarin.

Kennedy’s challenge struck John Tribe, one of Cape Canaveral’s original rocket scientists, as impossible.

“We were in the rocket business, so we were doing some weird and wonderful things back in those days. But, yes, it was an unbelievable announcement at that time,” he said. “It took a lot of guts.”

NASA’s Project Mercury gave way to the two-man Gemini flights, then the threeman Apollo program, dealt a devastating setback when three astronauts were killed in a fire during a 1967 test on the launch pad. The pace was relentless amid fears the Soviets would get to the moon first.

Cape Canaveral’s Bill Waldron remembers working “sev-

Ask t Our u o b A mer m u S ials Spec

en days a week, 12 hours a day, six months at a clip” on the lunar modules.

The pressure was so intense leading up to the flight that Collins developed tics in both eyes.

Launch day — Wednesday, July 16, 1969 — dawned with an estimated 1 million people lining the sweltering beaches and roads of what had been renamed Cape Kennedy in memory of the slain president.

At 9:32 a.m. EDT, the 363foot Saturn V rocket roared off Pad 39A, its astronauts hurtling toward their destination and destiny 240,000 miles (386,000 kilometers) away. The command module, Columbia, and the attached lunar module reached the moon three days later. The next day, July 20, Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the surface in the lunar module.

Collins wasn’t overly concerned about Armstrong and Aldrin getting down to the moon. Rather, he worried about them getting off the moon and back to the mother ship. He kept his fears to himself.

“If it was unthinkable, it was unsayable also,” Collins told the AP. “We never discussed or hinted at their getting stranded on the moon. I mean, we were not fools, and we knew darn well that a lot of things had to go exactly right for them to ascend as they were supposed to do.”

President Richard Nixon even had a speech prepared in case of disaster: “Fate has ordained that the men who went to the moon to explore in peace will stay on the moon to

rest in peace.”

As it turned out, descent proved more alarming than ascent.

With minutes remaining to touchdown, the Eagle was rattled by one computer alarm then another. Caution lights flashed. But flight controllers had rehearsed that very scenario right before the flight, and the mission pressed on.

Then a boulder-strewn crater appeared at the target landing site, and Armstrong had to keep flying, looking for somewhere safe to put down.

Finally came word from Armstrong: “Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed.”

The time was 4:17 p.m.

“You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We’re breathing again,” Mission Control radioed back.

Armstrong descended the nine-rung ladder first, touching the lunar surface at 10:56 p.m.

Aldrin followed him out 18 minutes later.

Working in one-sixth Earth’s gravity, they gathered rocks, set up experiments and planted an American flag stiffened with wires to make it look as if it were waving in the windless vacuum.

Five more missions would take men to the surface of the moon — Apollo 13 had to be aborted because of an explosion — before Project Apollo came to a premature end, the

last three flights on the schedule scrapped.

The first lunar landing, at least, lifted America’s spirits — indeed, the planet’s — when it needed it.

“The Vietnam War, civil strife, racial strife, all kinds of stuff going on that was bad, which I wasn’t paying much attention to because I was working so hard in the space world. The Cold War and all of that,” said JoAnn Morgan, Apollo 11’s lone female launch controller. “It was such a demonstration of the power and the passion of our country.”

She added: “I mean, literally, we did exactly what JFK said we would do.”

grees in just minutes, and on a 90-degree day, the interior temperature can reach as high as 109 degrees in less than 10 minutes.

The only way a dog can cool itself is by panting because dogs do not sweat. They can rapidly succumb to heatstroke, even if they are in a car in the shade with the windows slightly open.

Anyone who leaves an animal in a hot car could face cruelty charges if the dog is injured or dies. If you see a dog left alone in a hot car, call local humane authorities or the police.

PETA released two public service announcements on the matter. You can watch them at www.TrussvilleTribune.com.

Dog

From front page

When the officer arrived, he noted the dog was panting and appeared distressed, so he broke the window and opened the door.

The dog was taken out of the vehicle and given water. Animal Control was called and took the dog to the Greater Birmingham Human Society for evaluation and treatment.

When police talked to the owner of the dog, she said she had only been in Belk for 15 minutes. According to the police report, as the officer was interviewing the woman, she cranked her car and turned on the air conditioner but told the officer it was too hot to sit in the car while she answered questions.

The woman was ticketed for animal abuse.

Police Chief Eric Rush said his officers have had to break windows to several cars to rescue animals in hot temperatures.

In response to the report by The Trussville Tribune about the incident, PETA issued an urgent warning about the importance of never leaving animals in hot vehicles.

PETA said on a 78-degree day, the temperature inside a parked car can soar to 100 de-

GRAYSON VALLEY — Since Memorial Day 2016, the so-called “flag man” has been answering a calling in the Birmingham-metro area. Roy Brook not only expresses his patriotism along roadways by standing with a United States flag, but he also pays respects to people he doesn’t know, outside funerals and memorial services.

“It’s just the way that I

said Brook gave her joy during the most difficult time in her life when he stood outside the funeral home the day her son was laid to rest.

“I think it’s a God thing,” said Jill Frew. “Unfortunately, I lost my son, but I believe that God’s going to bring something beautiful out of something tragic. I think Mr. Brook is something beautiful.”

Brook confirmed, what he is doing is a “God thing.”

“My decisions are based on something bigger than me,” Brook explained. “I base my decisions on the Bible.”

The Frews took to social Roy Brook shaking hands with Scott and Jill Frew

“I thought it was awesome,” Scott Frew said. “It’s good to know that people out there still care. In my line of work you see a lot of bad things, so it recharges my batteries to keep me going.”

Brook doesn’t always have the privilege of meeting the people he supports, but he often gets messages of thanks.

“I just had to shake his hand

and say hello to someone who did this for someone he didn’t even know,” said Jill Frew. “It says a lot about his character.”

Brook said his selfless acts of kindness all started on Memorial Day in 2016. He was at home watching television when he saw something that made him think it was time to take action.

“I told my wife, ‘I feel like

I need to do something.’ The more I see things that are less than patriotic, the more I want to do it,” Brook said.

That’s when he decided to stand strong, flag-in-hand, in hopes of renewing American pride.

When it comes to funerals and memorial services, Brook knows all too well about the pain of losing a loved one.

“I know about tragedy, I grew up in it, so I really care when I see other people dealing with it,” Brook said. “If they’re hurting, I hurt too, especially when it’s a child, I hurt, too.”

“There have been a lot of God things that have happened over the last couple of weeks,” Jill Frew said after meeting with Brook. “It’s been quite overwhelming, all the love and support. I just hold onto that and my faith.”

A GoFundMe account has been set up for the family of Zachariah Music. A link to the GoFundMe and a memorial video can be viewed at www.

“I’m more concerned about the people that I’m there for than I am for myself.”

One of the families Brook recently showed concern about was the Frew family, from Grayson Valley. The Frews lost their son, Zachariah Taylor Music, to a shooting at the Riverchase Galleria. Jill Frew

media to find the man seen standing tall during their son’s funeral. It didn’t take long before they made contact with Brook. On July 10, 2019, just 11 days after the funeral, they met face-to-face with the stranger who showed love and support on that day.

“I want you to always know that when you see me or

anything about me, I haven’t forgotten about you and your son,” Brook told the Frews.

“I’ll always be thinking about him no matter where I am or who I’m standing for.”

Scott Frew, a Marine and Birmingham Fire & Rescue Lieutenant, expressed his appreciation for the man he called a real hero.

On Thursday, July 11, 2019, Bobbie Mann Naish, passed away peacefully at her home in Vestavia’s Town Village. Bobbie was 89 years old and still as beautiful as ever! Bobbie was born and raised in a wonderful family in Tarrant, Alabama. Her family was made up of her mom and dad, Jesse and Leola Mann, younger sister, Shirlene and younger brother, Marvin. As the oldest child, Bobbie set the bar high. Bobbie excelled in school and was known as “mama’s favorite”. She was raised at Springdale Baptist Church, where she came to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. She continued to walk through life with Him by her side! As an adult, Bobbie continued to excel in whatever she did.

She kept an immaculate, beautiful home, prepared delicious well-balanced meals, and took excellent care of her children, Debbie and Tim. When Bobbie entered the work world, she served as an administrative assistant to several executives. She became invaluable to them, as she used those skills of organization, tenacity and commitment to excellence to help them succeed. On a personal side, Bobbie was a caregiver at heart. She loved to care for anyone in need. She was the one that made sure all extended family members knew of anyone’s need, she was the one that could be counted on to take someone to the doctor or take a meal. In her later years, she made sure everyone got a birthday card (sending hundreds of birthday cards out each year) and did all she could to help anyone (including phone solicitors!) Bobbie adored her family! Her son, Tim (Vonna) Jacks and granddaughter Alexa; daughter, Debbie (Joe) Lundquist and deceased granddaughter Krista, her husband Bryan Roark and their daughter Chloe; stepson Steve (Patricia) Naish and grandchildren Stephen and Stephanie, stepdaughter Valisa Naish and grandchildren Varena and Brandon. Bobbie continued her strong relationship with her siblings, Marvin Mann and Shirlene (Bob) Bruce and their families throughout her lifetime. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lynn Naish. The final few years of her life, she was lovingly cared for by NaToya, Alisha, and Yvonne Booker, Evelyn Moye and Patrice Smith. For their kindness and compassion, we are eternally grateful! Bobbie was treasure and loved by many! She will be greatly missed but we know she is happy in heaven directing the housekeeping squad J. We love you Grandbobbie!

Kids talk about God: Why did the devil tempt Jesus?

By Carey Kinsolving and Friends

“The problem with opportunity is that it only knocks,” writes author Michael Hodgin. “Temptation kicks the door in.”

Of course, the wily devil failed in his cunning attempt to kick down the one who said, “I am the door.” But the question remains.

Why did he even bother to tempt Jesus?

Satan tempted Jesus because “he wanted to take over,” says Sam, 7. “The devil wanted to be the boss,” says Bianca, 10. “He was jealous because Jesus was a higher boss.”

After the mother of two of his disciples asked Jesus for choice seats in his kingdom for her sons, Jesus said, “Whoever desires to be great among you, let him be your

servant.”

Even Jesus’ disciples weren’t beyond grasping for power. Jesus told them he didn’t come to be served, but “to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

The desire to have control and boss people around is more popular than ever. If you enjoy being bossy, remember the way up in God’s kingdom is the way down.

Jesus washed his disciples’ filthy feet.

“The devil tempted Jesus so he would depart from God,” says Marci, 9. “Jesus did the right thing by quoting Scripture. The devil can’t stand words from God.” Marci, you hit the mark on two counts. First, “Satan’s aim was to entice Jesus to use powers rightly his, but which he had voluntarily abandoned to carry out

the Father’s mission,” writes Bible scholar D. A. Carson. Second, Satan tempted Jesus three times, and Jesus resisted temptation three times by quoting the Bible.

“Satan tempted Jesus because he still thought he was better than God,” says Valerie, 8. “The devil thought he was No. 1,” adds Peyton.

Pride, pure and simple, is at the heart of the devil’s fall and the temptation of Jesus. Actually, there’s nothing pure and simple about pride. It’s impure and complex.

The prophet Isaiah described Lucifer’s fall from heaven when he quoted him as saying: “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God” and “I will be like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:13-14).

What do you do for an encore after exalting yourself above

God? Act stupid, says Hill, age unknown: “In all the devil’s stupidness, he kept on tempting Jesus even though he knew he would not sin.”

Pride always produces stupidity because no one can carry the load of being God, except God. We’re created to depend on God and to worship him.

“Satan tempted Jesus to make bread from stone, and he was very bad,” says Hina, 7.

Jesus hadn’t eaten for 40 days.

What’s wrong with turning a few stones into bread? Everything, when you’ve left heaven on a mission to live in total dependence on God the Father.

Satan’s temptation began with a taunt, “If you are the Son of God” (Matthew 4:3). Jesus heard this same taunt during his crucifixion: “If you are the Son of God,

come down from the cross” (Matthew 27:40).

The difference between testing and temptation is that the one testing you wants you to pass the test, but the one tempting you wants you to fail. God tests. Satan tempts.

Think about this: Jesus resisted Satan’s temptation to turn stones into bread so that he could be the Bread of Life for all who believe in him.

Memorize this truth: “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever” (John 6:51).

Ask this question: Are you hungry for the Bread of Life?

Letter from the pastor: Deerfoot Baptist Church Howdy, from the great state of Texas.

This has been a great week for Marti and me spending some quality time with our daughter and son-in-law. Being away does not keep me from thinking about our Deerfoot Family. I hope each of you has been praying about calling Chris to be our new Minister of Music and Education. I have not been surprised by the encouraging comments I have heard since our Saturday meet and greet. With that said, we must seek God in this process and pray that we are seeking His will and not ours. I have been specifically asking God to

send Chris and his family here.

The statement Chris made, “the focus of music is more important than the style” really resonated with me. I hope those who were there last Saturday for the meet and greet saw Chris’ humility and his heart for service. Please be praying for this Sunday when Chris will be leading us in worship.

Another opportunity to be praying for is the 25 Year Anniversary, which is coming up the last Sunday in July. I hope each of you is making plans to be in attendance on that day. You can help us by inviting previous members of Deerfoot to come

and be part of this celebration with us. Our Historical Team has done a great job and put in a lot of time and energy to make this a great day for the Deerfoot family. I would ask that you be in prayer for Dr. Scott and Mrs. Billie. I have visited with them several times and have made a special plea for them to be with

us that day. Dr. Scott has been in the hospital again so pray that he is strengthened and able to be with us on July 28th.

I want to thank each of you for your continued prayers for the changes and growth of Deerfoot. In the month of August, the Adult and Youth Sunday school will be held in the sanctuary.

Discovering Deerfoot will be taught to the church. This outlines our history, our theology and beliefs, and the opportunities to serve in the ministries of Deerfoot Baptist Church. Please make plans to be a part of this special time of learning together as a church family. One of the terms that Chris used during the ‘meet and greet’ last Saturday was multi-generational. That term was used during our church vision and leadership team meeting. This term multi-generational means relating to or being involved as a family or society with people from three or four generations. I think Deerfoot

should be just that, a multigenerational church that thrives because there is no separation between the generations. I am not sure of all the details about this, but we can work it out together.

The seven ways to be a unifying church member that we discussed are Pray for the church Encourage the pastor and staff Encourage other church members Give abundantly Don’t gossip Forgive others Serve joyfully a product of God’s grace, Pastor Glenn

King of the Court International Showcase brings cultural exchange through basketball to Trussville From The Trussville Tribune staff reports

TRUSSVILLE — Two local basketball teams, The Huskies AAU Squad and the All-Stars, got a chance to show off their skills, learn about another culture and foster good international relations when the Seventh Annual King of the Court International Basketball Showcase came to Trussville Friday, July 12.

The goal of the showcase was to introduce local high school boys basketball players to international basketball, and it tours through Georgia and Alabama. The Youth Sports Exchange (YSE) Belgium sponsors the event and operates as an international student exchange that brings youth to the United States on an annual basis to learn about American culture, tour various colleges and universities and to play basketball.

Two teams of 10 players (Team Alabama and Team Georgia) along with four coaches and two managers

Zack Manning is the athletic director for the Trussville Department of Parks and Recreation. He has brought the showcase to town for the last three years.

“The All-Stars, they were our all-star team for this past winter league,” said Manning. “They actually finished second in the state … the Huskies are a local AAU squad, most of the kids are around here from Trussville (and) there are a few from Springville.”

Although the Huskies AAU Squad and All-Stars both lost their games against the Belgiums, it was still a great experience for the two local teams.

“We actually lost both games,” said Manning.

“The first game the Huskies (the AAU squad) lost 55 to 42 and the All-Stars got beat 50-30. The Belgium squad that came to town this year were vastly improved over the Belgium squad from last year.”

Abby is one of those.”

Talladega Super-speedway Legion Transformation project I think everyone’s bought reaches new milestone into the tactics, everything From page 15

By Shaun Szkolnik, Sports Editor

TALLADEGA — The Talladega Transformation project reached another milestone Wednesday, July 10.

“The centerpiece of what Transformation is all about is the large building,” said Director of Public Relations and Consumer Marketing Russell Branham during a press conference.

“The big open-air club you see straight in front of you (in the infield).”

Shortly after, the press conference construction crews fit the last piece of steel framing into the structure.

The plan is to have two garages that will flank each side of the open-air club, with the top 22 drivers housing their vehicles there.

Eleven cars will be featured on one side, and eleven vehicles will be featured on the other.

“It is something that is really unique,” said Branham. “There is nowhere else in motor-sports that you will be able to find

ner-up Stewart Friesen.

• Harrison Burton, Ross Chastain and Dylan Lupton rounded out the top five.

Moffitt wound up seventh.

• Fairhope, AL’s Grant Enfinger (pole winner) was a front-runner early in the race, but a late incident in Stage 2 with Brandon Jones eliminated both drivers from the event. Enfinger wound up 24th but remains in the point standings lead (winless this season) by 34 points over Friesen. With wins this season, Ankrum, Moffitt, Chastain, Austin Hill and Johnny Sauter are locked in the Gander Trucks season-ending playoffs.

• The Gander Truck Series visits Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday, Oct. 12, with the running of the Sugarlands Shine 250, the first race in the Round of 6 of NASCAR’s Playoffs for the series.

ARCA Menards Series • Chandler Smith recovered from a spin mid-race and grabbed his third series win of the season on Saturday night at Elko Speedway. He led a dominant 95 of 250 laps.

• Ty Gibbs placed second, 4.147 seconds behind, followed by Sam Mayer, Michael Self and Corey Heim.

• Hailie Deegan finished eighth, with Bret Holmes (Munford, AL) in ninth, sitting second in the point standings (-65).

something like this. It is sort of our centerpiece.”

The Transformation is a $50 million infield redevelopment venture that will offer new attractions and enhanced amenities for fans, sponsors, teams and stakeholders to the famous and historic Talladega infield.

Some of the new features will include an interactive garage fan zone experience, Wi-Fi enabled garage fan zone experience, open-air club with upclose garage viewing, garage suites, new pit road club, new Gatorade victory lane, exclusive social areas, premium RV camping with power and water hook-ups, infield shower trailers, a new Turn 3 oversized vehicle tunnel that will be open 24 hours a day, and food and beverage stands.

Head Coach Tommy Soehn was pleased with the effort. He has been working to get the team to hit the ground running and never let up.

“I credit the guys today,” said Soehn. “We put a lot of work in during the break into kind of redefining who we are game-plan-wise, and 90 minutes of effort, it was all good.

The 6-foot-1, 207-pound Corral was productive in limited action last season.

He completed 16 of 22 passes (72.7 percent) for 239 yards, two touchdowns and one interception and also ran for 83 yards and two touchdowns.

Corral says the early leadership “doesn’t feel
