The first flight

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/09/10

The plane trip began in Tuscaloosa, and stopped in Jackson, before it finally reached Dallas. Later in life, taking this hopscotch flight was as aggravating as a floater in my eye. But not when I was 21 years old. Not when I was headed to my first big job interview — and my very first airplane ride. I was meeting with a large paper company. Apparently, they liked our first meeting at the University of Alabama, so I was invited to fly out and meet some of the muckety mucks. The operative word ...

In the Spirit on the Lord's Day

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/09/10

A college colleague told me about a tense Sunday morning when he was a part-time pastor. The deacon chairman confronted him before worship with a stern request (the Baptist deacon chairman is akin to a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army). “We’re gonna’ wait until after the service, but we want to meet with you IMMEDIATELY when it’s done,” he scowled. It’s been some years since he told me this, and laughed about it then, but I forgot the punch line. I don’t know if he was terminated or live...

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) expressed his continued approval of President Donald Trump’s effort to combat crime in Washington, D.C., and said he believed in using the Alabama National Guard if necessary if he is elected governor next year. “Washington, D.C., is the capital of the free world and is supposed to be a place where Americans can visit and feel safe,” Tuberville said in a conference call last week. “I want Alabamians to feel safe when they come to my office or visit the mo...

Governor hopeful hands out condoms

2025/09/10

A Democratic candidate for Alabama governor in 2026 said he’s using an unconventional campaign marketing gimmick. JaMel Jermain Brown, who describes himself on social media as a pastor, activist and candidate for governor, posted last week that he has ordered 1,000 new condoms large and extra-large that he will offer for free on behalf of his campaign. Brown previously ran for Montgomery City Council in 2023 and finished with 16% of the vote. Brown has not filed a monthly fundraising report. ...

New tests for cancer can save countless lives

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/09/03

Even though I have a degree in biology, I knew little about cancer — until life gave me a crash course. In 2019, while working on my master’s degree in Huntsville, I developed severe leg pain. At first, doctors thought it was sciatica. But further tests revealed something far more frightening: a tumor the size of a cantaloupe on my pelvic bone. That diagnosis launched me into a four-year journey through surgeries, radiation, complications, and countless lessons about cancer and the healthcare...

Jackson five-star running back and Alabama commit E.J.

Paying for the sins of Democrats' past

The South Alabamian News Podcast ·

2025/09/03

There is no denying it. For a century after the end of the Civil War, Alabama has had a well-documented and ugly history of denying legal Alabamians the right to vote. It's unfortunate, but the state is still paying the price for it. The injustice is that Democrats committed those sins of the past, and 60 years later, Democrats are the net beneficiary. Despite being fervently opposed by Southern Democrats, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed by both chambers of Congress by wide margins. ...

Bears beat Massey and Bulldogs GROVE HILL — There was a time in the not-so-distant past when Chan Lowe was asked if he’d like to be his own boss some day and coach against his longtime friend and mentor, Jason Massey. “He’d beat the dog mess out of me,” Lowe said without hesitation. And that was just after Lowe had replicated Massey’s 2022 state championship by winning a Blue Map of his own in 2023 while serving as the Bears’ interim coach with Massey 7,000 miles away in Iraq on deployment wi...

Friendship put aside for a night

ROVE HILL — Being a charitable sort of fellow, Clarke County’s Jason Massey didn’t make his former pupil, Chan Lowe, and his Leroy players dress out under a couple of umbrellas in the rain before their first game against each other as head coaches. It wouldn’t have made any difference anyway, for there were no obvious advantages Massey could latch onto. In fact, Massey and his Bulldogs were so accommodating that they supplied a dry locker room, two turnovers and plentiful short fields that le...
