09/30/2013 – Alabama DOT Holding Public Meeting on October 3rd
The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) is holding an open-house public comments meeting to discuss the replacing of the Military Street (Highway 43) bridge over the Buttahatchee River in South Hamilton. The meeting, which is set for Thursday, Oct. 3, will also be used to discuss the extension of a five-lane road in the area. The hearing for the project will be held from 5-7 p.m. at the recreation center. In addition to replacing the current bridge, the five-lane section of the road will be extended southward to Marion County Road 35, also known as River Road. The replacement of the bridge is scheduled in September 2014, meaning the work will likely lap over into the early Fiscal Year 2015. This meeting will be of the open-house style format with no formal presentation. Interested persons may arrive anytime within the two-hour period. ALDOT personnel will be available to discuss the project, including right-of-way acquisition procedures. Display maps and relative environmental documents will also be available for review and inspection. People with disabilities who need special accommodations or assistance may contact Jud Young of ALDOT at (256) 389-1488. Written statements and other exhibits may be sent to ALDOT through Oct. 13, whether or not anyone goes to the meeting and makes statements there. Documents may be sent to James Brown, Second Division Engineer, Alabama Department of Transportation, P.O. Box 495, Tuscumbia, AL 35674.
09/26/2013 – Congressman Robert Aderholt / Defunding Obamacare, Keeping the Government Running
The following is a Press Release from:
Congressman Robert Aderholt – Representing Alabama’s 4th District In Washington, D.C.
Defunding Obamacare, Keeping the Government Running
With October just around the corner, discussions in Washington over the past few weeks have focused on the impending implementation of Obamacare and the ever-nearing end of the fiscal year.
Even some democrats have said that the President’s health care law is a train wreck. It’s bad for Alabama families, it’s bad for small businesses, it’s bad for doctors and hospitals and it’s bad for our nation’s economy. That’s why when it came to the House floor for a vote in 2009, I voted against it. Since then I along with my Republican colleagues in the House have voted nearly 40 times to repeal, replace, dismantle or defund all or portions of Obamacare and every time the Senate has failed to act.
As you know, September 30th is the last day of the fiscal year—meaning the government will shut down on October 1st unless legislation, known as a Continuing Resolution (CR) is passed extending funding for federal operations.
Last week, with my strong support the House passed H.J.Res. 59, a Continuing Resolution that would keep the government running through December 15th and defund Obamacare.
On September 20th, the House did our job and now it is time for the Senate to do theirs and show the American people where they stand. It appears that the House will be in session in Washington throughout the weekend in hopes the Senate will finally act and we can get this done. As the clock ticks us days closer to the implementation of Obamacare and the end of the fiscal year, the time for the Senate to take real action is now—no more stalling, no more gimmicks.
Syria Update
As you are aware over the last few weeks, President Obama concluded that President Bashar al-Assad is in possession of and used chemical weapons against his own people in Syria. This situation brought great concern to the international community.
Instead of building an international coalition of allies willing to stand together against Syria’s action, President Obama decided to pursue unilateral military action that would have left the United States isolated in our approach in the Middle East. The President did not make a very clear case to the American people or to Congress as to why such action was warranted or how it would advance the interests of the United States.
After President Obama called on Congress to vote on a resolution authorizing military action in Syria, my colleagues and I heard overwhelmingly from folks across Alabama and the rest of the country that they did not want to see the United States getting involved in Syria. I could not have agreed more. Though no one wants to see chemical weapons in the hands of unpredictable leaders in hostile regions, it is unclear who is behind these rebel groups.
As you know, Congress never took that vote, because as President Obama was trying to make his case for military action leaders of other nations were working on diplomatic solutions to remove chemical weapons from Syria. President Putin of Russia proposed putting Syria’s stockpile of chemical weapons under international control and President Assad has been amenable to that idea.
Since then, President Assad has openly admitted Syria is in possession of chemical weapons and Secretary of State John Kerry had been involved in diplomatic negotiations with Syrian officials and others in the international community. As this process continues, it is critical that international officials trust, but verify the existence and whereabouts of Syria’s chemical weapons and ensure that they are not only removed from Syria, but also secured from getting in the wrong hands.
Though the situation is not fully resolved yet, it seems as though it will be in the very near future and I am pleased it is being done through diplomatic means, rather than with military involvement.
Remembering 9/11
It has been twelve years since a group determined through hate made a cowardly attack on the United States that killed so many innocent Americans who were just trying to do their jobs. Last year, we lost four more Americans at the hands of terrorists and extremists through an attack on our Embassy in Benghazi, Libya.
We must never forget the victims of these attacks and the families and friends they left behind. While we have been tested by these senseless acts of violence, our resiliency and resolve will never waiver and America continues to shine as a beacon of freedom around the world.

09/12/2013 – INCREASED ATTENDANCE EXPECTED AT 2013 RACKING HORSE SHOW
Decatur, Ala. – Show organizers of the World Celebration Racking Horse Show are expecting an increase in entries and attendance for the annual event set for September 20-28, 2013. Considered the largest Racking Horse Show in the United States, the World Celebration offers over 180 classes for children, adults, amateurs, and professionals culminating with the naming of a new World Grand Champion.
The 2013 event marks its 42nd year, with the show experiencing growth in recent years in the number of entries received. According to Show Organizer Melisa Taylor, the number of stalls rented and the number of classes offered have increased in recent years. In 2012, 565 stalls were rented and approximately 170 classes were offered. To date, 654 stalls of the available 754 have been rented and this year’s show will offer 188 classes.
Along with a horse competition, this year’s show will also provide educational opportunities for local students. At 10 a.m., Thursday, September 26, 123 fourth grade students from Cotaco and Falkville Elementary will visit the Celebration Arena where there will be information sessions, demonstrations, hayrides, and other activities for their participation. The Alabama Legislature proclaimed the racking horse as the “Official State Horse for the State of Alabama” on October 5, 1975. “During the fourth grade, students are learning about the state of Alabama and it seemed to be an appropriate time to introduce them to the official state horse,” said Taylor.
The annual World Celebration offers a variety of activities, including a horse sale, a barn decorating contest, nightly consignment sales, and a golf tournament in addition to the horse competition. The general public is invited to participate in the Pleasure Association’s 50/50 raffle and the “When Pigs Fly” contest. Each night of the show, participants can attempt to fly a pig toward a target with the closest one winning a cash prize. On Saturday night prior to announcing the World Grand Champion, children are invited to participate in the “Stick Horse” class. This event allows children to bring their own stick horse for friendly competition in the arena. The nine-day competition culminates with the announcement of the new World Grand Champion.
Show organizers extend an invitation to the general public to come and experience the excitement of crowning a new grand champion. Shows are held nightly at 6 p.m. except on Thursday when show time begins at 5:30 p.m. Admission is $5 per person September 20 through 25 and $7 per person for the remaining nights of the competition. Parking is $5/daily. The Morgan County Celebration Arena is located at 67 Horse Center Road (off Highway 67 East) in Decatur.

09/12/2013 – A CENTENNIAL BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FOR JESSE OWENS
Decatur, Alabama – On Saturday, September 21, 2013, the Jesse Owens Memorial Park and Museum pays tribute to the legacy of Olympic track and field superstar Jesse Owens in commemoration of his 100th birthday with a day filled with free food, Olympic-style competitions, and museum tours. With a theme of One Chance Is All You Need, the Centennial Birthday Celebration gets underway at 11 a.m. at the Jesse Owens Memorial Park and Museum located at 7019 County Road 203 in Danville, Ala.
Born in 1913 in Oakville, Ala., Jesse Owens moved to Cleveland, Ohio when he was nine years old, and soon thereafter, at the age of 15, he began the transformation into an Olympic champion. During his tenure at Ohio State, he set new conference records in all three events he competed in: the 100-yard dash 9.6 seconds, the 220-yard dash 21.0 seconds and the long jump 24 feet 10 inches, and was undefeated in 42 events and won 4 firsts at the Big Ten Championships, four in the NCAA Championship and two in the NAAU Championships. At the 1936 Olympics in Berlin, he captured four gold medals, overcoming racial and socioeconomic barriers. In 1955, he was named Ambassador of Sports by President Eisenhower and toured the world promoting the virtues of amateur programs and served as his personal representative to the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia. In 1970, he was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and in 1976, President Gerald Ford presented him the Medal of Freedom, the highest honor the US bestows upon a civilian, saying, “Your character, your achievement, always will be a source of inspiration.” In 1979, President Jimmy Carter presented him with the Living Legend Award. Jesse Owens died of lunch cancer at the age of 66.
The festivities begin with an opening ceremony that includes recognition of dignitaries, family members of Jesse Owens, and the sculptor of the park’s Jesse Owens statue, Branko Medenica who will be on hand to talk about the history of the statue from its conception to its completion. The youth can compete in Olympic-style competitions and win an award. Competitions include 100-yard dash, 200-yard dash and broad jump – the three events Owens excelled in.
There will be free museum and home replica tours, conducted by park volunteers. The museum showcases rare memorabilia including programs from the 1936 Olympics, replicas of track uniforms and shoes, medals, and trophies from Owens’ high school days and offers interactive kiosks that highlight his life and accomplishments. While touring the home replica, visitors can listen to audio that tells of Jesse Owens’ life as a sharecropper’s son, narrated by his brother Sylvester. The Jesse Owens Memorial Park also showcases memorials for Owens including a statue and a1936 torch replica and provides facilities for community use including a basketball court, baseball/softball fields, playground, picnic tables, and pavilions. Athletes can test their skills in the long jump pit to see how close they can come to Owens’ 1936 Olympic gold medal distance of 26 feet 5 5/16 inches.
Hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Festivalgoers will also be treated to free hot dogs, drinks and birthday cake as long as supplies last. All activities are free and open to the public.

09/05/2013 – LARGEST RACKING HORSE SHOW IN THE NATION SET FOR SEPTEMBER 20-28 IN DECATUR
Decatur, Ala. – A new World Grand Champion will be named in Decatur, Ala. when the largest Racking Horse Show in the United States returns to the Celebration Arena September 20-28, 2013. The World Celebration offers 188 classes for children, adults, amateurs, and professionals, and show organizers extend an invitation to the general public to come and experience the excitement of crowning a new grand champion.
The annual World Celebration offers a variety of activities, including a horse sale, a barn decorating contest, nightly consignment sales, and a golf tournament in addition to the horse competition. The general public is invited to participate in the Pleasure Association’s 50/50 raffle and the “When Pigs Fly” contest. Each night of the show, participants can attempt to fly a pig toward a target with the closest one winning a cash prize. On Saturday night prior to announcing the World Grand Champion, children are invited to participate in the “Stick Horse” class. This event allows children to bring their own stick horse for friendly competition in the arena. The nine-day competition culminates with the announcement of the new World Grand Champion.
Shows are held nightly at 6 p.m. except on Thursday when show time begins at 5:30 p.m. Admission is $5 per person September 20 through 25 and $7 per person for the remaining nights of the competition. Parking is $5/daily. The Morgan County Celebration Arena is located at 67 Horse Center Road (off Highway 67 East) in Decatur.

Today, there are over 80,000 racking horses registered with the RHBAA, a not-for-profit organization headquartered in Decatur, Alabama. The Alabama Legislature proclaimed the racking horse as the “Official State Horse for the State of Alabama” on October 5, 1975.
