Editorial / Opinion
EDITORIAL:   May 23, 2013
 
I am not easily moved by high minded talk or great delivery of prose.  However, I do not want to be on the wrong side of this Mom from Wetumpka, Alabama.  She knows what she is saying, believes what she said and knows it as the truth.
  I'm on her side.   She takes on the most powerful government in the world and "puts them in their place".  I salute you Becky Garritson. Signture


 Becky Garritson - June 4, 2013 - Before Congress:

"I am not here as a serf, or a vassel, I am not begging my lords for mercy. I am a born free American woman, wife, mother and citizen and I am telling my government that you have forgotten your place."

New Archery Park Opens in West Alabama.

The Bibb County Chapter of Bow-hunters of Alabama and other archery enthusiast in West Alabama have a new archery park.

Eleven targets, designed for adults, range from 15 to 80 yards. There are eight youth-range targets in distances from 5 to 20 yards. There's a blind and also a 12-foot-high shooting tower, which requires use of a safety harness, that simulates being in a tree while shooting at four targets that range from 10 to 40 yards. A walking course has 10 additional targets and is designed for event hosts like BHA to set up 3-D targets.
