A Cleburne County teacher accused of having sex with students will remain in jail for now unless he can come up with $200,000 for bond, after a judge Wednesday denied a motion to reduce the bond amount. an attorney for Bronson Shay Ward to reduce Ward’s bond to a total of $150,000 in property bonds.

Broome argued that all accused of crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court, and that the crimes Ward is accused of are not violent. Ward has ties to the community, Broome said, and his family will vouch for him. He suggested the court order his client to wear a monitoring bracelet to ensure he is not a danger to the community. But prosecutors said that Ward had deceived people for three years during the alleged crimes.

counts of having sex with students under the age of 19. Four charges stemmed from alleged incidents in Calhoun County; the other stems from an alleged incident in Cleburne County. His bond in Cleburne County, a property bond, was set at a $50,000 cash bond for each charge. That would require Ward to provide $200,000 in cash to be released from jail. Defense attorney Bill Broome asked that the Calhoun County bonds be amended to property bonds of $30,000 for each charge. That would allow Ward or his family to put their homes or property up as security, Broome said. Over Broome’s objections, prosecutors at the hearing played a taped statement by Ward admitting to having sex with two students during their senior years at Cleburne County High School. “This is not the time or the place for that,” Broome objected several times before the statement was played. “The only thing before your honor today is the bond reduction.” tion, saying she needed to consider the likelihood of conviction as one of the criteria for reducing the bond. After the hearing, Broome said that in his 36 years as a defense attorney, he’d never seen a judge allow the use of such a

After hearing the statement, members of his family gave emotional testimony asking that Ward’s bond be reduced. Andy Ward, the principal of White Plains High School and Ward’s brother, said Ward could live with him or his parents. Both he and his parents live within walking distance of his brother’s home, Andy Ward said. “I know he’s made some mistakes, obviously,” Andy Ward said. “But I know he cared about his kids. That’s probably his biggest fault, getting too involved in their personal lives.” Larry Ward, the accused’s father, tes-

In addition, after being told he could not contact the victims, Ward asked his mother by phone to contact one of the victims to tell her he was all right, Weems said. “He could affect the ongoing investigation,” Weems said. said the alleged crimes were against multiple victims and included more than one offense. She also noted that Ward’s family had been unaware of the alleged crimes, although they were within walking distance of Ward’s home, where many of the incidents were alleged to have taken place. Broome said if the case goes to trial, it could be early next year before it is scheduled. He declined to say whether he would appeal the bond. “That’s an option,” Broome said. “There are a lot of options.” Staff Writer Laura Camper 256-4632872. On Twitter @LCamper_Star.

The planning commission didn’t want to get into “spot zoning” individual properties, Smith said. Instead the commission recommended the city amend its general business district zoning to allow historic homes within a general business district to be used as they were originally designed. In that case, the house could be used as a residential property, Smith said. Under the current general business district zoning, if a home has been used as a business, it has to remain a business, he said. “We want to preserve the historic heri-

Cleburne Admin talks to BOE about taxes LAURA CAMPER

After receiving complaints from local residents, the Cleburne County Administrator spoke to Board of Education members at their work session Tuesday about the distribution of the county’s alcohol tax. Over the last few weeks, said County Administrator Steve Swafford, residents have been questioning why the alcohol tax wasn’t going to the school system. They seemed to be under the impression “that somehow the county government had slighted the Board of Education through coercion or deceit,” he said. “That’s something I wanted to make sure I cleared up,” Swafford said. As it happens, due to state law and a 2008 referendum that allowed the opening of a winery in Cleburne County, the alcohol tax has not been distributed to the school system for several years. The question of tax allocation arose during the board’s Sept. 9 meeting, when a parent at the meeting voiced some concerns about the school system’s security. Superintendent Claire Dryden told her the County Commission used to give the school system money from the alcohol tax. That money, she had said could pay for

In 2008, the Board of Education did indeed receive 60 percent of the revenue from the alcohol tax as required by the law in place at that time, said County Administrator Steve Swafford. That amounted to $46,848.88 that year, he said. But that same year, a petition circulated by some local residents who wanted to open a winery asked for a referendum changing the liquor law in the county to make that possible, Swafford said. Liquor laws are state laws. In order to allow the winery in its borders, Cleburne County had to be subject to a different state alcohol law. Under that state alcohol law, the distribution of the tax dollars changed, meaning there was no longer a requirement that the local school system receive any of the alcohol tax. The referendum held in November 2008 approved the change in the law, he said. “The people implemented the change,” Swafford said. “They petitioned for the change.” For several months after the referendum, the county continued to distribute 60 percent of the liquor tax to the Board of Education, Swafford said. But the superintendent at the

OPINION/EDITORIAL

JSU scholarship season opened Oct. 1 By Ashley Siskey, Graduate Assistant in JSU’s Public Relations Office. Fall is full of wonderful experiences. For some, it’s the start of football season, cooler weather, falling leaves and pumpkin spice lattes. For others, it’s the premier of TV favorites like The Walking Dead and Big Bang Theory. For many, the constant frenzy of back-to-back holidays, cooking and decorating is a fall highlight. It’s also the time of year high school seniors and returning students need to think about how to pay tuition for the following academic year. Can it get any busier? This year, JSU senior Cassie McGowan breathes a newly endowed Howell Scholarship. She is a 2010 graduate of Jacksonville High School and is scheduled to be a 2014 accounting graduate. “The Howell scholarship is a huge help. I’m able to pay for books on top of my tuition. Accounting books are expensive! The average book costs $175. There’s so much less stress on me this year. I’m able to work less, so I can focus on school. I’m extremely grateful to the Howells for this opportunity,” says Ms. McGowan. The Howell scholarship is endowed through the JSU Foundation by Ken and Jenny Howell of Anniston and awards $12,500 per academic year to a Calhoun County undergraduate accounting major, with preference given to students participating in the JSU ROTC program. Mr. Howell, a 1972 graduate of JSU, participated in the advanced ROTC program and received his degree in accounting. He sees the scholarship as a way to give

and after college. A list of available scholarships through JSU, like the Howell scholarship, can be found on the JSU website (www.jsu.edu) under the Student Financial Services’ page. There are scholarships out there for a variety of students, so it pays to do some research. Applications for scholarships will be accepted beginning Oct. 1, 2013 – Mar. 1, 2014. More information regarding the specific processes for application, review, award and time frame can be found on the JSU website (be sure to check out the FAQ & Hints section) or by contacting the financial aid office at 256-782-5006. For high school seniors and their parents, applying for scholarships on top of submitting general applications can be overwhelming. Be sure to utilize the experts at your schools of choice – often times there are checklists and resources to help navigate the process. JSU’s Student Financial Services has a checklist for entrance requirements and the application process. In addition to resources at the post-secondary level, many high school counselors have even more detailed step-by-step instructions to aid students and parents. Leta McGehee, a 1977 JSU alumna, works as a counselor at Clay-Chalkville High School. She provides her students with a college booklet that includes a month-by-month checklist. “With life busier than ever, students and parents can get off schedule and not realize that they are way behind in the process, have not completed requirements for admission such as taking the ACT or SAT, or they have missed critical deadlines

for scholarships and financial aid. It’s a scary process, but school counselors are there and ready to help,” says Ms. McGehee. Ms. McGehee recommends students take the ACT or SAT in their junior year of high school. Students need time to improve on test scores, if needed – especially since admissions and scholarships get more competitive with each passing year. During convocation in August, JSU President Dr. Bill Meehan remarked, “the entering freshman class ACT average composite score has risen from 19 to more than 22 over the last three years.” Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the student to work on meeting entrance and scholarship requirements during the secondary education years. It is also the student’s responsibility to keep track of his GPA and key test scores to know his eligibility, brag activities (service, sports, honors, etc.) and application deadlines. Ms. McGehee urges her students to write college essays and get letters of recommendation early. The more proactive a student and her support system are on the front end, the smoother the process will be for all parties involved. Bottom line: any student, whether entering college freshman or returning, needs to give the application process time, utilize all available resources and take initiative in the process well before deadlines. So, go ahead, check out the available scholarships through JSU, and be ready to start applying come Oct. 1. For more information about this story, please contact

It’s going to be a dull election year

Believe it or not the 2014 state elections are only eight months away. This gubernatorial year, which usually portends a plethora of interesting and exciting races, is shaping up as a ho hum year. Gov. Robert Bentley appears to be on a path to breeze toward reelection to a second four-year term. Bentley has done a good job as governor and folks seem satisfied with him. Bentley’s stratospheric approval ratings stem from his likeability and trustworthiness. When asked about those two traits his numbers shoot off the charts. Folks simply trust him the way people trusted their family doctor. To put it into layman terms or country jargon, he fits like an old shoe. Bentley is a plow horse, not a show horse. Lt. Gov. Kay Ivey will also have an easy course to reelection. This job does not have the power it once had. Therefore, very few special interest groups care who is lieutenant governor because the post has very little influence over public policy in the state.

Steve Flowers

Inside The Statehouse It would be difficult for any challenger to raise any money. For that matter, it is tough for the incumbent to raise campaign funds. In contrast, the Attorney General’s office has immense and extensive power. It is the second most important job in state government. Luther Strange has done a good job. He should breeze to reelection. However, because he has faced a myriad of issues during his term he has stepped on some powerful toes. This race could get a surprise financially backed candidate but that is unlikely. Young Boozer should win reelection to a second term as State Treasurer maybe without

opposition. He has done a good job, especially having to deal with the beleaguered PACT program. John McMillan should coast to another term as Agriculture Commissioner. He has done a good job despite having to deal with budget restraints. Secretary of State Beth Chapman quit with 17 months left to go on her term. Gov. Bentley appointed former Secretary of State Jim Bennett to fill the remaining time of Chapman’s term. The Governor could not have picked a more appropriate person to serve through 2014. Many Goat Hill observers believe that Jim Bennett was Alabama’s best and most diligent Secretary of State in modern times. There are three very qualified men seeking this post, a former probate judge, Reese McKinney of Montgomery, a sitting probate judge, Jim Perdue of Luverne, and State Representative John Merrill of Tuscaloosa. There may be other entrants. This is shaping up as the best state race thus far. Although, it will not be

that interesting because the job is essentially a clerical post and it is difficult to raise any money for this race. Most people are not aware that our Junior U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions is up for reelection next year. It has gone completely under the radar screen. Sessions is very conservative and that equates to him being very popular in Alabama. We in the Heart of Dixie are by most counts the most conservative state in the nation. Therefore, it is only fitting and proper that we have the most right wing Senator in the U.S. Senate representing us in Washington. Sessions may even escape opposition. It would be futile for a challenger to try him. Our seven congressional seats are also up for election next year. All seven should be safe bets for reelection. Due to the advantage of incumbency most congressmen win reelection. The six incumbent Republicans have recorded solid conservative voting records. Little more is expected of them. The lone Democrat, Terri Sewell, has

turned in a completely liberal record that should placate her constituency. The real races next year will probably be for the Legislature. All 105 House seats and all 35 State Senate posts are on the ballot. Special interests have a keen interest in who sits in these seats. You will probably see some intraparty battles within the GOP in June. The super majority Republican control will more than likely remain in place. However, which Republicans sit in these seats may change. It will be interesting to see if the AEA plays in the GOP primaries. This is their best chance to regain some of their lost power. This herd of Republican elephants has stomped on them for four years. All in all it is shaping up to be a dull year. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

Guest Commentary

Elected officials should pay for special elections when they resign CRAIG FORD Minority Leader

It’s not often that Sen. Del Marsh and I agree on political issues (take the Accountability Act for example). But there is one issue that he and I strongly agree on, and that is the need to stop the revolving door that has become elected office. Since the 2010 elections, there have been ten elected officials who have resigned. Some left to take other positions in government. But others left in order to make more money in the private sector as lobbyists and consultants. For example, Congressman Jo Bonner resigned to take a position with the University of Alabama System where he now makes more than twice as much as he did in Congress (his pay went from $174,000 to $350,000 per year). Elected office is supposed to be a public service, not a steppingstone to a higher Serving Cleburne County Since 1906 paying job in the private sector. Serving in elected office is also a promise you make to the people who elected you. As an elected official, you made a commitment to the 926 Ross Street • P.O.

Misty Pointer John Alred But too many elected officials are now breaking that Editor promise to their constituents Laura Camper and leaving their districts without a voice in our government while they cash out Volume 120-41 for their new jobs. In Congress, the people of The Cleburne News (USPS 117-420) is published every Thursday by Consolidated Publishing Co., and entered as periodicals at the Post Office South Alabama are without in Anniston, Ala. 36202. Subscription rates: One Year in Cleburne County a voice right now at a time $22 One Year Elsewhere $36 Six Months in Cleburne County $13 when our government is Six Months Elsewhere $21 about to shut down. Now more than ever, we need our

congressmen to do their jobs, not leave us in the dark while they cash out. And even though the state legislature is not in session at the moment, the people of House Districts 74 in Montgomery and 104 in Mobile have no representative to work for them if they have an issue with state government. If you live in one of those districts and you have, for example, an issue with Medicaid or obtaining grant money for your local school, you are just out of luck. But this issue goes beyond the broken promises and abandoned constituents. Because in most of these cases there now has to be a special election to fill these seats, and special elections cost money. The expense of a special election can depend on several factors: how many counties are in the district and will there be a primary, runoff and general election or just a primary and general election. The press recently reported that in 2011, the state spent $300,00 on three special elections while a special election in Madison County that took place a few weeks ago also cost the state about $300,000. In my conversations with state elections experts, the general consensus is that a typical special election will probably cost the state between $200,000 and $300,000 on average. That means that, at a minimum, these special elections over the past three years are costing the state at least $2 million. Think about what we could have used that money for instead. We could have bought new textbooks for our schools, or saved over 30 law enforcement, firefighter and education jobs. We could have put metal detectors in our schools and better locks on classroom doors to make our schools safer. At the very least, we could have devoted that money to paying back the debt on the $437 million Republicans borrowed last year to prevent Medicaid from collapsing. But instead, we are spending that $2 million to pay for special elections so that a handful of elected officials can make a bigger profit. It is just plain wrong. So I agree with Sen. Marsh that we need to tighten up the laws preventing legislators from resigning to become lobbyists. But I also think we need to go further, because some of these elected officials are lobbying though they are still working in politics. I think we should also require elected officials who resign for any reason other than health needs or appointment to state or federal office to pay the costs of the special election to fill their seat. If a state legislator knew it would cost them $200,000 to $300,000 to leave, they would think twice before taking that consulting or lobbying job. Holding public office is supposed to be a service to your community, not a steppingstone to a fat pay raise in the private sector. Our elected officials should take their responsibilities seriously, and honor their commitment to their constituents. And if they don’t then they should pay for the trouble that they cause.

After running for more than 300 yards against Vincent in Week 4, Ranburne passed for over 300 against Beulah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to take what they give us,â&#x20AC;? Young said of the contrasting totals. â&#x20AC;?Some of it is strategic and some of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what happens during the game.â&#x20AC;?

Against Beulah, Ranburne got the opening kickoff, drove 68 yards in eight plays and scored with 7:24 remaining when Kyle Lovvorn grabbed a pass from Dylan Wiggins from four yards out. The push was aided by a 15-yard gain on a Wiggins pass to Dylan Tullis, a 10-yard run by Wiggins and a 10-yard reception by Lovvorn. Jake Howle, who was 4-for4 on extra points, gave the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead. After Beulah scored to make it a 7-all

game, Ranburne began its second possession at the Bulldogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 32-yard line with Wiggins to Tullis for 35 yards was the big gain of the drive. On a third-and-12 situation, Wiggins and Brady Whittle connected for a 14-yard gain to keep the drive going. Whittleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-yard run took the ball into the end zone with 10:10 left in the second quarter.

What was a back-andforth game early became a rout and the Cleburne County Tigers defeated visiting St. Clair County 51-21 at L.E. Bell Field in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we got going and got in a groove defensively, we got some stops,â&#x20AC;? said Cleburne County head coach Michael Shortt. â&#x20AC;?Our offense just did a great job, moving the ball, scoring. We threw the ball well. We probably played as good on offense as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played (this season) as far as execution.â&#x20AC;? The Tigers (4-1) looked to continue their recent offensive explosions when they entertain Hokes Bluff for homecoming Friday. The Eagles are 0-5 but limited Lincoln to 21 points in their last Class 4A, Region 5 game two weeks ago. Cleburne County needed Hokes Bluff 16-13 on the

road last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a well-coached team. They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the fastest team we play but all our kids talked about last year after playing them was that they were the most physical team we played,â&#x20AC;? Shortt said. To compensate for a lack of speed, Hokes Bluff tries to limit the number of possessions an opponent has by shortening the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wait 25 seconds to snap the ball,â&#x20AC;? Shortt noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to get three, four yards at a time and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a good play-action passing game. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just always very solid.â&#x20AC;? Cleburne County was a lot more than solid against St. Clair County. The Tigers piled up 575 yards of total offense, 348 yards rushing and 227 yards By contrast, the Saints netted 222 rushing yards and passed for 118 yards. Shortt said his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s balance on offense was the key to victory.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I saw us being able to throw the football effectively I knew then that we were going to have a good chance, that that would just make our running game that much better,â&#x20AC;? Shortt recalled. The Saints won the toss, took the ball and scored for a 7-0 advantage. Cleburne County answered with an 80-yard drive that plete, helped along by Trey Boltonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50-yard run. The touchdown came on a 26yard pass from quarterback Brady Padgett to Cameron Kerr and Anderson Jacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kick made it 7-all. After St. Clair County punted, the Tigers put together another 80-yard drive. Brandon Horn picked up 21 yards on a pass from Padgett and Bolton had runs of 17 and 20 yards before Horn scored on a 12-yard carry. The kick missed but Cleburne County led 13ended, St. Clair County had scored again and led 14-13.

Cedar Creek by: Glenda Triplett Our Youth blessed us Sunday by singing several songs in the morning Worship Service and signed a song on Sunday night. God is so good! Please remember the family of Carolyn Ramsey in your prayers. Happy Birthday to Margene Edwards! We will have our Fall Festival on October 19 4:30PM6:00PM. There will be games, cake walk and chili cook off. Make plans to attend! On Wednesday nights we continue our Bible Study of Foundations of Faith, What Baptists Believe. Even if you to attend! We start at 6:30PM Pastor Donald’s message came from Psalm 63:1-3 “Why We Give Him Praise”. “Because Thy loving-kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise Thee.” Christians should not only pray and read the Bible every day but we should also praise God every day! Why? When we realize who God is and what He has done and is still doing for us praise should be natural to us! We should praise God in spite of our troubles. We should praise Him for our life, health and strength. God is worthy of our praise! We were made to praise God the Father and Jesus the Son. We should also let our children see our praise of God. In Psalm 78:4 Scripture tells us to not hide our praise from our children but to show our praises of God to them, show them His strength and the wonderful works He has done. We do this so our children can pass on a tradition of praise to their children and our children’s children; a Spiritual chain reaction. Verse 7 says “That they might set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep His commandments.”

Verdon Chapel by: Richard Jackson We had a wonderful Youth Sunday today. We were glad to see all our visitors today, and we invite them to come back any time. Brother Blake Young brought the message from Hebrews, chapter 11. Faith is essential in our walk with God. Our faith gives us the assurance in His promises to us. Many people put their faith in other people, and have found that it leads to disappointment and disillusionment. When we put all our faith in trust in God, we can withstand any trial we encounter. The more faith we have, the less fear we have. Faith allows us to do God’s will without hesitation. We are saved by grace through faith; we cannot sincerely seek God without having faith. How is your faith today? Do you fully trust God, or do you try and go at it on your own? It’s time to examine yourself and see how your faith is holding. Please pray for: Larry Kimbrell, Robert and Gladys

by: Reba Gay Leslie sang “He Touched Me”. Bro. Doug’s message from Phillipians: The only thing standing in our way of doing God’s will is us. At one time, Paul was a strict Pharisee. Paul knew and practiced the law, but he didn’t know Jesus. The people were skeptical of Paul after he was saved. Once we know Jesus, we are changed, no longer the same. Some people don’t like what Christians stand for. God loves us. We are here to please God. What we do should be done for God’s Glory. Have joy serving the risen Savior. If God has something for us to do and we don’t do it, we sin. We are to do God’s word.

Ceiling fans are well used in the warm season, but by reversing the motor when the seasons change, they are just as effective for savings and comfort in the winter.

Check your fan before the cold of winter. Make sure the blades are rotating in the correct direction. Remember: clockwise for winter. Flip the switch on the side of the motor to change directions.

When you are heating your home, warm air settles at the ceiling. By operating the fan in clockwise direction at a low speed, a gentle updraft forces warm air down into the room.

Adjust your thermostat to compensate for the warm air redistributed into the living area to realize savings all winter long.

Bulldogs : â&#x20AC;&#x153;We gave up a drive to them to tie it up and then we answered right back,â&#x20AC;? he said. From page 1 quarterback sweep on the 2-point try, keeping Ranburne ahead 15-13. Following the ensuing kickoff, the Bulldogs moved from the Ranburne 30 to a touchdown in just over a minute. Wiggins passed to Devin Rehberg for 53 yards, a touchdown and a 22-13 advantage with 2:43 to go before halftime. The Bulldogs forced the Bobcats to punt and threatened again with their two-minute offense before time expired. The only points of the third quarter belonged to Ranburne. Beulah was forced to punt from deep in Bobcat territory when Donovan Tullis and Zach Patterson each dropped a ball carrier for a loss. On fourth down, the snap on a punt attempt was high and the punter was unable to kick the ball through the back of the end zone. Austin Jordan recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown and Ranburne led 29-13. The fourth quarter began on a shaky note for the Bulldogs. On a double handoff, the Bobcats blitzed at the right place, force a fumble and returned it for a touchdown. This time the 2-point conversion was successful, cutting Ranburneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 29-21 with 8:41 to play. The Bulldogs iced the game with a seven-minute drive, scoring on a 2-yard run by Dylan Tullis with 1:30 remaining. The series lasted 14 plays, including two third-down conversions. On third-and-5, Wiggins completed a pass to Lovvorn that picked up 25 yards. On third-and-14, the Bulldogs intended to throw a screen pass. When Beulah had that call defended, Wiggins ran for 20 yards. Wiggins was 21-for-23 through the air for 313 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had one busted route and one dropped ball,â&#x20AC;? Young said. for 55 yards. Whittle made three receptions for 43 yards. Adam Sheppardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three catches accounted for 18 yards. On the ground, Dylan Tullis ran 18 times for 67 yards. Wiggins carries 12 times for 53 yards. Donovan Tullis topped the defensive effort with 15 tackles. Cole Yearta made nine tackles. Whittle had a quarterfour. Zach Patterson had a sack, another tackle and recovered a fumble. Lovvorn and Jordan also had two tackles apiece.

Cottage : She applied to get the house listed on the national register and it was listed in 1991 From page 1 itage of the home,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone wants to come in and live in it, we would rather see that home continue to be a historic part of our town.â&#x20AC;? Smith said there are some older homes in the city, but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know of any that are eligible to be on the National Register. The city used to have an active historic society, but the members have moved or drifted away, Smith said. Beverly Casey, a former member, said she left the society while it was still active, but she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen it do anything for a number of years. Payne said she will continue to operate the store until the house or the business sells. She is planning her Christmas Open House for Nov. 2-3 this year, she said.

Please be advised that if you intended to contest these adoptions you must file a written response with the attorney for the petitioner named below and with the Clerk of Probate Court, Cleburne County, Alabama, 120 Vickery Street Room 101, Heflin, Alabama, 36264, as soon as possible but no later than thirty (30) days from the last day this notice is published. Nancy P. Vernon Attorney for Petitioner PO Box 236 Heflin, Alabama 36264 The Cleburne News Cleburne Co., AL September 12, 19, 26, October 3, 2013

The undersigned Executive Director of the Calhoun-Cleburne Mental Health Board hereby gives notice that he has determined that an emergency affecting public health, safety or convenience exists in Calhoun and Cleburne Counties. The nature of the danger is that: (i) the closing and/or re-purposing of previously available state owned and operated facilities for the housing, care and treatment of mentally ill patients has created an urgent need for such facilities in Calhoun and Cleburne Counties for the care, treatment and safety of such patients, their families and the general public and (ii) each day of delay in the establishment of appropriate mental health facilities carries with it danger to the mentally ill patients, their families and the general public with the attendant risks of bodily harm and harm to property if such patients do not receive appropriate care, housing and treatment. In support of the urgent need the Executive Director has considered the shortage of mental health facilities in Calhoun and Cleburne Counties. To respond to the shortage and the needs of mentally ill patients in Calhoun and Cleburne Counties, the Mental Health Board has authorized the construction of a new 16-bed treatment facility (the “Facility”) to be used for civil (probate) commitments and other short-term intermediate care for mentally ill patients. The Executive Director has considered and determined there is no suitable near term alternative by lease or otherwise to the construction of the Facility. The longest lead time associated with the establishment of the Facility is its construction. Therefore, the Executive director has determined that an emergency situation affecting public health, safety or convenience exists in Calhoun and Cleburne Counties and that, in order to address that emergency situation and to complete the construction of the Facility in the shortest time-frame practicable, contracts will be let without public advertisement as permitted by the emergency exception to Alabama’s Competitive Bid Law set forth in Section 41-16-23, 1975 Code of Alabama. This notice to be published with the same general applicability as the call for bids and awarding of same in Calhoun and Cleburne Counties. Mickey S. Turner Executive Director Calhoun-Cleburne Health Board
