Transcript of The Trussville Tribune...near Bessemer. Last week, ALDOT hosted ... AL 35173 A+Tire & Auto Repair...
For now, it appears to be a dirt biker’s paradise.
The area just off Alabama Highway 75 in the Pinson area by Palmerdale United Methodist Church is vast, the walls of red-orange dirt built high. From the inter-section of Clay-Palmerdale Road, those walls look al-most daring, begging those with a Yamaha or Kawasaki to throttle the engine, forget the brakes and fly.
The area is cut deep into the woods now, the future home of the first segment of
the Northern Beltline, 1.3 miles of a 52-mile highway that will connect Highway 75 with Highway 79. That work is the result of work-ers from the Alabama De-partment of Transportation and Wright Brothers Con-struction Company, Inc. of Charleston, Tenn., which was awarded the contract for the first phase of the project.
The estimated cost for the first phase is $46 million and is expected to be completed by mid fall 2016. The en-tire project will consist of a 52-mile multi-lane highway that will stretch from Inter-state 59 in northeast Jeffer-son County to the Interstate
459 interchange with I-20/59 near Bessemer.
Last week, ALDOT hosted a media tour of the progress at the Northern Beltline site. It looks much different than in late April, when Gov. Robert Bentley and other government officials spoke at a groundbreaking ceremo-ny.
“It changes every day,” said ALDOT Third Division Construction Engineer Mike Mahaffey.
White Dodge pickup trucks and SUVs carried media members over rough terrain, up steep hills and
Between jump shots, Jesse Miller III runs to the front door.
He dribbles over every time some-one walks into the Trussville YMCA on Valley Road, to extend a hand-shake, to give a hug. Miller loves playing basketball at the YMCA, but he may love turning strang-ers into friends more. Every person who pushes the door open to come lift weights, to shoot hoops, is ap-proached by Miller, who says, “Hey, how are you doing?”
He does this with everyone. He asks if they have kids, brothers or sis-ters. He engages in quick conversa-tions. When the conversation is over, he goes back to the basketball court. When someone new walks in, he re-peats. He remembers their names the next time they come to the YMCA.

A warrant has been signed for the arrest of a Birmingham man in connection with the gaming operation that was busted in Trussville last month.
The suspect has been identi-fied by the Trussville Police Department as Andrew James Grundy, 33, of Birmingham. He’s charged with possession of a gambling device, a Class A misdemeanor. His bond will be set at $1,000.
Grundy had not yet been ar-
rested at press time.Trussville police on July 25
busted a gaming operation at 108 Morrow Ave. in Trussville, after getting a call about a rob-bery in progress. After obtaining a search warrant, officers found 25 gaming machines in op-eration, one employee and two
customers. The machines were seized, loaded onto wreckers and impounded.

The Trussville City Board of Education on Monday approved an intergovernmental agreement with the city of Trussville for the use of recreational facilities.
The agreement now goes to the Trussville City Council, which it
will likely approve at its Tues-day, Aug. 26 meeting.
The agreement approved Mon-day will allow Trussville Parks and Recreation to use the fields behind Hewitt-Trussville Middle School, which are former soccer and band fields. The city plans to use the fields for soccer, flag football and lacrosse. Trussville Parks and Recreation Direc-
tor David Vinson said there are 850 kids in the soccer program, which uses just four fields. Flag football and lacrosse programs continue to grow, he said.
The city council will have to approve of lights being installed at the fields. The city will pay for maintenance and for the bills in exchange for the use of the fields.
“I think it’s a win-win situa-
tion,” Vinson said.Board President Bill Roberts
agreed.“We look forward to working
together,” Roberts said.

The Clay City Council is star-ing down the barrel at several large, unavoidable expenses.
The city is looking at roughly $435,000 in essential paving projects, even after cashing in bonds, City Manager Ronnie Dixon said. The council only has $471,000 in total funds available for road repairs from its 4-, 5- and 7-cent gas funds, as well as its contingency road fund, leav-ing only $36,000 available after these costs are accrued.
Since the housing crisis, many residential contractors have gone belly up, leaving roads unfin-ished. According to Clay’s or-dinances, once a neighborhood reaches 80 percent completion, the road surface must be com-pleted. Another ordinance re-quires developers to have a bond that will cover this road comple-tion 100 percent in the event the company is unable to meet its ob-ligation.
Three neighborhoods, Cross Keys, Renwood, and Garden Valley, are estimated to cost $114,000, $22,980, and $22,470 in road repairs, respectively. Gar-den Valley has gotten so danger-ous that the city received notice from the United States Post Of-fice that mail carriers were no longer comfortable delivering to those residents.
Three other streets have also reached critical condition levels. Sandmoor Drive will likely cost the city $107,000 to repair, Can-terbury Road is estimated to need $48,150 in repairs and Steeple-chase Parkway will likely cost $130,040.
“At least for eight years, there was very little paving done,” Dixon said. “There were some potholes repaired, but there was no money set aside for further maintenance. As you can see, this would pretty much wipe (these funds) out.”
Councilman Kevin Small said he believes the city should take that risk because these repairs can no longer be put off.
Park projects could potentially wipe out the city’s capital funds. Total park improvements are es-timated to cost $478,000. The total capital funds are $478,431. The council will likely choose to phase the projects in order of importance, starting with the new restrooms at Cosby Lake Park, Mayor Charles Webster said.

around embankments last Thursday morning. Media members wore bright yel-low hard hats and match-ing vests with “ALDOT” emblazoned in black be-tween the shoulder blades.
Workers used machines to dig two-feet-deep holes to fill with stone, to add stability to the soft, wet soil near Self Creek. Near the top of a hill visible from Highway 75, short,
white flags are placed in holes, markers that let workers know where a mixture of dynamite and fertilizer will be dropped in for blasting, to break up rock beneath the surface.
The biggest challenge so far, one ALDOT offi-cial said, is dealing with the environmental aspects of the job, since Alabama Department of Environ-mental Management regu-
lations are strict. At the very end of where
construction has reached so far is Self Creek, which snakes through an area where a bridge hundreds of feet tall will eventu-ally tower. Right now, a temporary bridge is being constructed so that heavy equipment can get where it needs to go.
Across the creek and deeper into the wooded
area are three archaeolo-gists from the University of Alabama. Field Direc-tor Daniel Turner said they are in their final stages of excavation after about seven weeks of dig-ging and scraping in one of the only areas to find shade on the site. They’ve found spear points from the Archaic Period, arrow-heads, a railroad bed from the late 1800s and even a piece of a broken glass medicine bottle from Tar-rant, likely from the 20th century.
Turner said they want to find full pieces, artifacts that could help them learn who lived in the area, when and why. The multi-
occupational site at which they were digging last Thursday was between some highlands and Self Creek, a “perfect loca-tion” for former natives.
“We’re not treasure
hunters,” Turner said with a laugh.

The goal for the Paine Elementary Campus this school year is to raise $10,000 by collecting box tops.
The campus’ volunteer box tops coordinator, Cis-sie Harrington, said Paine Primary and Paine Inter-mediate schools last year earned more than $9,400 by clipping and saving box tops, which ranked the schools in the top five in Alabama.
Each box top is worth 10 cents when a school redeems it from Box Tops for Education. Box tops
should be clipped and turned in to the student’s teacher.
Box tops are collect-ed all school year. Each grade, however, has a contest, with the winning classes in each receiving a pizza party. Contest dead-lines are Oct. 15 and Feb. 11, 2015.

Trussville City Schools Alternative Learning Cen-ter Principal Phyllis Faust will have an article pub-lished in September in The Alabama Journal of Edu-cational Leadership.
Faust earned her doctor-ate in 2012 from Samford University, and her dis-sertation centered around middle school students, their voice and sense of belonging. The article is titled “The Relationship between Middle School Student Belonging and Middle School Student Performance.”
Les Ennis and Will Hodge are co-authors of the article, and Faust is the lead researcher. Faust,
the former principal at Hewitt-Trussville Mid-dle School, said she pre-sented her findings at the Mid-South Educational Research Association in Pensacola, Fla., last year, and at the Alabama As-sociation of Professors of Educational Leadership this year in Montgomery.
Faust said that in el-ementary school, students are concerned with pleas-ing teachers, but as they begin to mature, their focus changes from not only pleasing teachers but pleasing peers, too. They become concerned with their appearance, “fitting in” and finding acceptance among their peers, she said. For some, Faust said, finding acceptance and peer approval takes prece-dence over academics.
“My study underscored the challenge in creating middle school communi-ties that equally appreci-ate and confront social, emotional and academic developmental needs of students,” Faust said.
Faust said middle school
students need healthy adult role models who listen and affirm their sense of well-being during a confusing time in their development.
“It is imperative that strong, positive and trust-ing relationships be estab-lished with all students,” she said. “Once these types of relationships are established, the possibili-ties for students are end-less.”
Faust dedicated her work to her granddaugh-ter, Riley.
“I believe that all stu-dents deserve to live and learn in classrooms that educate both the mind and the heart,” she said.

ell took notice of this. A member of the YMCA, she met Miller two or three years ago, and he remem-bered her name from that point on. Mitchell began to notice he did this with everyone.
“I thought that was real-ly amazing,” Mitchell said of Miller, a 2010 Hewitt-Trussville High School graduate.
Mitchell, an aspiring filmmaker, sent a letter home with Miller for his parents to read.
“We were quite im-pressed with the letter she sent us explaining why she wanted to do a documen-tary on Jesse,” said Mill-er’s mother, De Miller. “It touched our hearts.”
Mitchell soon found out that Miller had autism, a
disorder that affects the brain’s normal develop-ment of social and com-munication skills. Yet Miller is social, possibly the most social person at the YMCA.
“He’s so warm and
kind,” Mitchell said.Mitchell began work on
the 13-minute documen-tary in January, and com-pleted it about four months later. It’s her first docu-mentary.
“I’m just overjoyed,” she said.
Mitchell has attended the Sidewalk Film Festival in downtown Birmingham for the last four years, an event that inspired her to make her own film. The one she’s completed about Miller, called “Jes-se Speeks,” was accepted into this year’s festival.
“I’m very excited about that,” Mitchell said.
Carla Youngblood is the associate producer and Razaq Kadri is the edi-tor. Trussville YMCA was “instrumental” in assist-
ing with the film, Mitch-ell said. The documentary will make its debut Satur-day, Aug. 23 at 4:05 p.m. at the Alabama School of Fine Arts’ Dorothy Jemi-son Day Theater in Bir-mingham.
The last two sentences of the documentary’s syn-opsis say, “Jesse, who’s loved by everyone he meets, especially at the YMCA where he spends
much of his time, just happens to have Autism. Autism, however, is not a hindrance when it comes to Jesse’s heart.”
Mitchell said she plans to take the documentary further after this week-end’s Sidewalk Film Fes-tival.
“My goal is to take it to other festivals around the country,” she said.
Miller’s mom said she’s
excited that other people have been paying attention to her son’s kindness.
“I’m pretty excited about it because he’s such a sweet individual,” she said. “He has so much to offer.”

Better Basics is seeking volunteers to help at-risk children develop a love of reading.
Volunteers are needed during the school day to tutor struggling readers or to read to students and reward their reading achievements with prizes provided by Better Basics. Additional volunteers are needed to provide homework help and enrichment support for children in Better Basics’
after-school program. “Helping an at-risk child
who needs extra support is so rewarding,” said Better Basics Volunteer Coordinator Kathleen Drake. “Volunteers routinely tell me that they get much more out of volunteering than they give. Making a difference in the life of a child is an investment in our future.”

Melton, Floyd speak to Trussville Rotary Daybreak ClubFrom staff reports
Rotarians with the Trussville Rotary Daybreak Club have heard presentations of local significance, as well as hosted Mexican Rotarians, in recent weeks.
Trussville Mayor Gene Melton provided a city update Aug. 6.
”Our economy is doing well,” he said, “and our school system is probably the No. 1 reason.”
The bridge on Husky Parkway is complete and will be opened when the road is finished, which should be Sept. 15. Hewitt-Trussville Stadium should be finished in time to play at least some of this season’s games. Financing for the two new
elementary schools is in the works, so these schools should be built in a couple years, Melton said.
On Aug. 13, new Hewitt-Trussville head football coach Josh Floyd updated the club on the team’s progress since he took the helm this summer. Hewitt-Trussville is part of the new Class 7A, in which competition will be tough.
“We play four of the top eight teams in the state,” Floyd said. “The culture is changing -- not that the past wasn’t right. We just need to do what works best for us.”
Floyd believes in five core values: • Be positive. This can make up for
a lot of things in life.• Compete in everything you do. On
a day-to-day basis, always do your best, whether it’s on the field, in the weight room or in the classroom.
• Be responsible. Don’t try to make it somebody else’s fault. Your mistakes affect the whole team.
• Pay attention to detail. It all matters.
• Have more fun playing the game than anybody in the state.Four Rotarians from Mexico were
in Trussville last week to meet about an international project and attended the club meeting. The guests were Hector Garza, Andres Garza, David Garcia and Mario Pena. As is customary, flags from the two clubs were exchanged.

Abby Hathorn, CEO and founder of the Vintage Inspired Passionista blog, has launched her new blog Six-teen & Successful.
This blog is designed by a teen for tween and teen girls who are look-ing for real and modest advice about fashion, beauty and life. With Six-teen &Successful, Hathorn hopes to show girls how to be themselves in a world full of critics. Without the overwhelming support and requests from VIP blog fans, friends, and fam-ily, Sixteen & Successful wouldn’t be possible.
“What I am doing with my life is normal -- I have no desire to be a part of the ‘normal teen’ stereotypi-cal generation that is being shown
all over the Internet and TV,” Ha-thorn said. “Sixteen & Successful’s mission is ERICA, which stands for Empowering Relationships to Inspire & Celebrate Accomplishments of tween and teen girls.”
Hathorn also contributes to other publications, does live-blogging and social media broadcasts, and special event appearances.
In addition to fashion styling and writing, Hathorn is also the lead role in the upcoming independent film “La Madame” and was an extra in the Birmingham-produced independent film “Is What It Is.” Hathorn has had the opportunity to interview celebri-ties and fashion designers such as Ty Pennington, Ahmed Hassan, Emily Ellyn, Hilton Hollis, Joeffer Caoc and Karolina Zmarlak.

A group of students from The Webb School in Tennessee recently attended a Youth to Youth drug prevention and youth leadership program conference at the Uni-versity of Rhode Island.
Sophomore Ronnie Booth, of Truss-ville, attended the event with four other classmates.
“I always look forward to seeing the students have fun at this conference while obtaining valuable lessons, experience and training that they can then bring back to Webb and implement through our Feet to Feet program,” said Mike Quinn, Webb art teacher and faculty advisor for Feet to Feet, the school’s version of Youth to Youth.
Youth to Youth was founded in 1982 in
Columbus, Ohio, as a community-based drug prevention and youth leadership pro-gram focusing primarily on middle school and high school students. The goal is har-nessing the influence of peer pressure and making it a positive force that encourages young people to live free of tobacco, alco-hol and other drugs.

Masses of Americans are suffering from
blood pressure issues. You or someone you love may be one of the many who are suffering. If so, I have exciting news for you. Blood pressure can often be helped naturally, without the use of medications.
Atherosclerosis: what is it, and how is it caused? Atherosclerosis is fat inflammation in your blood vessels. This condition is primarily caused by eating too many trans fats, sugar and dairy. This inflammation also causes your cholesterol to rise. When these problems arise, many are taught to
stay away from cheese, dairy, and red meat, and if that doesn’t work, pills are prescribed. I would like to offer an alternative. I recommend adding some fresh beets and apple to your daily diet, and that you avoid sugar. The apples and beets help reduce toxicity in the liver, thus, lowering cholesterol.
There are other treatment protocols to help you with blood pressure issues. One that I mentioned earlier is minimizing sugar. If you constantly crave sugar and have a hard time passing it up, there are vitamins/herbs that can help the process. One is Gymnemma, which suppresses and neutralizes
the cravings for sweets, so it’s a great weight loss aid for people whose weight is due to excessive sugar intake. Another two are PancreVen and Cataplex GTF. These help to stabilize levels of blood sugar and lipids in the body, thus helping curb your cravings for sugar. Secondly, don’t
forget to watch your dairy and trans fat intake. You don’t want excessive amounts of either. Also, try to eat more protein to help with your leveling of blood sugar. Lastly, take one teaspoon of flax oil per day per 100 pounds of your weight. Flax oil has a multitude of health benefits including, but not limited to, promoting cardiovascular health, promoting colon health and can be slimming.
What about other herbs that may help? Kelp is something that can be taken daily. It’s especially high in iodine, which must be present for proper glandular function and metabolism. Alfalfa tablets are good
for helping your body have a natural balance of sodium and potassium. Garlic is also good. When buying garlic, be sure to buy the type that has odor to it. Lastly, a good herb for blood pressure issues is Black Cohosh. This is good for calming you and lowering cholesterol.
If you have blood pressure issues, do you have to give up fast food? I know it’s hard to eliminate these foods altogether, but if you have high blood pressure, you need to be aware that the amount of sodium in those foods can be a major issue. If you consume a lot of fast food or franchise food, you need to trim back
as much as possible. How do you know if you’re consuming too much sodium? You may find that you have a hard time getting your rings off after eating at a fast food restaurant. This may be due to increased fluid retention from the food you consumed. This is something to be concerned about. You also need to be aware that some restaurants add sugar to their margarine and dressings, which can also affect your blood pressure.
I know we went through a lot of topics this time. We’re not going to have perfect health habits, but we can all improve. Our bodies will thank us for it.
Helping high blood pressure naturally, Part 3

The Trussville Tribune has launched a new high school sports show called “Legacy Credit Union Tri-bune Sports Live driven by Serra Mazda,” which be-gan Tuesday, Aug. 19.
The weekly online TV show features in-depth analysis of high school football at Hewitt-Truss-ville, Clay-Chalkville and Pinson Valley.
“There will be two shows,” Publisher Scott Buttram said. “On Sunday afternoon the highlight show will be online. It will be similar to the highlights broadcast by local news stations on Friday night, but obviously with more content focusing only on our three high schools. The Tuesday night show will be more in-depth with live guest interviews, more feature-oriented and will broadcast live.”
Each show will be
streamed live at TribuneS-portsLive.com every Tues-day at 7 p.m. this fall. The show will be hosted by Pat Smith, a veteran broadcast-er with more than 20 years of radio and TV experience covering high school and college football.
Smith will be joined by producer Dennis Washing-ton and marketing director Pat Coyne.
“Our multimedia content has been popular with our readers in the past,” But-tram said. “To be able to partner with these guys to produce a television qual-
ity, and the experience and talent they bring to the ta-ble, is an incredible oppor-tunity for the Tribune.”
Smith co-created, man-aged, produced and guest hosted ESPN’s “Paul Fine-baum Show.” His radio work has earned him five Associated Press awards for Best Sports and he was named one of the “Top 40 under 40” by the Birming-ham Business Journal.
Washington founded Cross Digital in 2013. Prior to that, he worked at WBRC FOX 6 as a meteo-rologist, storm chaser, pho-
tographer and director of digital content.
Coyne works for BRUM Advertising and is the founder of VenueStream. He’s spent the past 12 years in media and advertising sales, including eight at WJOX.
“We believe we cov-er three of the best high schools in the metro area,” Buttram said. “I think our readers will enjoy the in-depth coverage they’ll see on Tribune Sports Live.”
Smith, a Trussville resi-dent, said he looks forward to using his experience to
highlight local athletes.“I live here and I’m very
familiar with these teams,” Smith said. “I’ve been fortunate to develop a lot of national contacts over the years, which I hope to use to our advantage as we cover area high school athletes and watch many of them emerge as college prospects.”
Washington, who works with clients to brand their business through social media, said local content is the key growth area for media.
“Options for national and world news are grow-ing every day through the Internet,” Washington said. “Local news, weather and sports are what consumers are really craving. We’ll be taking the local content that the Tribune is already pro-viding and expanding it in a way that will be very ap-pealing to the readers and viewers.”
For Coyne, it was the lo-
cal connection that drew him to the project.
“I’ve worked with clients that are trying to make a statewide or regional con-nection with potential cus-tomers,” Coyne said. “But there are far more busi-nesses looking to target the market at their door-step through affordable advertising. The market saturation of the Tribune of northeast Jefferson and St. Clair counties is phenom-enal and it’s perfect for so many businesses. The re-sponse from business has exceeded our expectations and we’ve only scratched the surface.”
The Tribune is consider-ing future multimedia of-ferings in addition to the high school football pro-gram. The expansion of digital television quality programming via the Inter-net could lead to local news and weather reports as well as a show focusing on local businesses and industry.

Two former Clay-Chalkville baseball players last week signed to play at the major college level.
J.D. Perry, a 2011 Clay-Chalkville High School graduate, is leaving
Chattahoochee Valley Community College for Louisiana Tech. Perry and CVCC played in the National Junior College Association World Series in Colorado earlier this year.
“It’s a great accomplishment for me,” Perry said. “When I signed
out of high school to play junior college ball at Chattahoochee Valley, my goal was to show up every day and work my tail off to make it to the next level to play Division 1 baseball, and it is a privilege to get signed and be able to play in a top conference like Conference USA. It is a
big opportunity for me and my family and I am proud to be a Louisiana Tech Bulldog.”
Micah Blount, a 2012 Clay-Chalkville High School graduate, is leaving Faulkner State Community College for Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tenn.
“It gives me an opportunity to continue my career at a high level at a great school with an amazing coaching staff,” Blount said. “I’m excited about this opportunity and ready for the challenges that come with it.”
In other Clay-Chalkville athletics news, junior
softball player Maddie Cole verbally committed to play at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in New York.

Former Clay-Chalkville and University of Alabama football player Quinton Dial has started a foundation for kids.
QD’s Kids’ mission is “to show love and support to underprivileged kids today so they will have the best
opportunity to be our leaders of tomorrow,” according to www.qdkids.org.
The organization’s first event was Aug. 2 in San Jose, Calif., where a fundraiser was held at a bowling alley. The jerseys of San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Dial, quarterback Colin Kaepernick, linebacker Patrick Willis and running back Frank Gore were raffled.
A 2009 Clay-Chalkville High School graduate, Dial was drafted by the 49ers in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. In the 49ers 23-3 preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens this month, Dial notched a team-high 10 tackles and two forced fumbles.
