Gulf Shores city leaders unanimously approved an ordinance that could bring Uber and other ridesharing companies into the municipality last week, following a strong discussion from the council and community members. Revenue Supervisor Marcy Kichler said the creation of the ordinance was a response to a public demand that has occurred for several years. Our citizens and visitors have expressed a strong desire to have this transportation option available to them,” Kichler said. “In response to those requests, we drafted an ordinance. We did make it as similar as we could to our taxi regulations, as close as was reasonable considering the different business models.” Kichler said an annual business license and franchise agreement, annual vehicle inspections conducted by a certified garage, national local criminal background checks, driving record checks and the national sexual offender database check will all be required in order to do business within the city. Primary auto liability insurance that provides at least $1 million in coverage would also be required. Drivers that work for transportation network companies (TNCs) like Uber or Lyft would also not be allowed to solicit riders anywhere but on their apps. Kichler told the council the ordinance also had an expiration clause for Dec. 31, 2018, which would allow the council the ability to change or get rid of the ordinance if the city chose to go another direction in the future. Mayor Robert Craft asked if there had been any action from the state level on a bill that would govern operations for TNCs that could strip powers from municipalities to be able to regulate, tax or require business licenses. “If the bill passes, the only thing we could do is say ‘Yes, you can have a TNC,’ or ‘No, you can’t,’” Kichler said. “That would be the SEE UBER, PAGE

only regulation we could control.” “Uber would prefer it that way because they wouldn’t have multiple ordinances they would have to interpret,” Craft said. “They seemed to imply that if that didn’t go through, they were going to have to continue to decide whether or not they wanted to continue smaller city operations like ours. Even if we pass this, depending on the outcome of some of those things, Uber may not be here.” Steve Smith, with Salty Dog Transportation, said he had concerns about TNCs being allowed into the municipalities like Gulf Shores with the ordinance as is. “I believe the city should revise the current TNC ordinance due to major short falls in the vetting of drivers for the TNC, which puts public safety at risk,” Smith said. “It also creates a hostile and grossly unbalanced transportation market.” Smith said there would be an inherent unfairness in the rates and fares TNCs would be able to offer because there were no minimum or maximum rates in the TNC ordinance. Where local taxi companies charge about $2.31 a mile, Uber mobile could offer $1.50 mile, undercutting the local companies. Smith said he also had concerns about the number of vehicles that could be allowed, as taxi companies are currently limited to six vehicles per franchise but Uber and other TNCs would have no limits placed on them. Craft said he understood the ordinance wasn’t perfect, but the city had been working on it for over a year. “The transportation requests of our customers are demanding Uber,” Craft said. “They want to be able to use that phone app to hail Uber to get in there, and there’s a high degree of confidence in it. We have transportation issues in this city.” Craft said if the TNC ordinance was passed, the city could look at revisiting the taxi cab ordinance to make some changes that would make sure the city isn’t advantaging one over another.

Councilman Joe Garris said making all of the companies have level opportunities has been his concern throughout the discussions. “I just want to make sure we’re giving everyone an equal playing field,” Garris said. “That’s always been my main concern with all of this.” One resident questioned how the city could create separate ordinances for taxis and TNCs, calling it unfair practice. Kichler told the resident that was a decision made by the state, and the city was following that law. “The state said that transportation network companies are a different entity from taxi cabs,” Kichler said. “They made the differentiation, so it’s not for us to decide. Now we just need to put regulations in place.” Councilman Phillip Harris said the council had continued to debate some of the residents’ main concerns for over a year, but said the TNC ordinance was really a question of what risks the city was willing or not willing to take. “The taxi businesses are a vital part of our community,” Harris said. “The problem we’re faced with is that there is an overwhelming demand for transportation that we can’t fill the void, so our risk is take the known risk of this other ordinance with Uber or Lyft or live with the risk that people are driving after they’ve been drinking. Which is worse? Which is the greater risk?” The council then voted to unanimously approve the new ordinance. The council also: - Approved an ABC license for Anglers at the Pier - Authorized an agreement with Marbella Apartments for use of the city’s right of way. - Passed a resolution supporting an appropriation of $10,000 to the Gulf Shores High School Drivers Education program. - Entered into a mutual aid agreement with Baldwin County and several other local municipalities. - Okayed a proposed legislative annexation bills to take certain properties along County Road 8 East into the city.

South Baldwin Christian Academy to break ground on new gymnatorium SUBMITTED Gulf Shores, AL - South Baldwin Christian Academy is set to expand, as the school will hold a formal groundbreaking ceremony for a new gymnatorium on Tuesday, May 2 at 12:15 p.m. School administrators, local officials and business leaders will put shovels to the earth to signify the start of construction for the

13,400-square-foot facility. The ceremony will be located directly in front of the school in a marked off area where the structure will be built. “After several months of planning, we are looking forward to officially breaking ground,” said Head of School Dawn Cranston. “The addition of this gymnatorium will provide South Baldwin parents who want

the benefits of a private Christian education that incorporates sports and fine arts programs with a convenient nearby option.” This new facility will allow SBCA to make new athletic, fine arts and ministry opportunities available for SBCA students and the community. Designed to serve multiple purposes, the gymnatorium will feature a

full basketball court and performing arts stage. Chapel, art, music, theater and athletic classes will be moved into the new facility. SBCA plans to launch athletic programs in the fall of 2017 beginning with a cross-country program. Later plans include intramural and competitive sports programs such as weightlifting, volleyball, wrestling and

I am in the middle of a great little book on the history of salt by Mark Kurlansky. Now, some might assume that such a book would be dreadfully boring, but that is hardly the case. For most of recorded history, salt has been a significant feature of the wealth of nations. Until about a hundred years ago, it was very difficult to come by and essentially the only means for preserving food. Therefore, it was incredibly valuable. Roman soldiers were often paid in salt (hence, the word “salary” and the idiom “worth his salt”). Entire economies revolved around the acquisition and trade of salt, wars have fought, cities built, and industries created all for this little crystal. Why? Because salt is life-giving. It is critical to the proper functioning of cells, yet is not produced by the human body. Salt added years to the lifespan of humans by making protein much more readily available because meat and dairy products could finally be preserved and transported. And finally, salt brought the taste of food to life, making meals into a joyous art form rather than a dull duty of nourishment alone. That is why Jesus, when introducing the concept of

the kingdom of God in the Sermon on the Mount, chose the metaphor of salt to describe kingdom people: “You are the salt of the earth.” Jesus knew of the world-wide need for salt. He understood the way it gave life to the world. He also knew how easily it could be corrupted, and how worthless it was when that happened. When moisture and impurities crept in, a substance might still have the appearance of salt, but none of the power. There’s another word for un-salty salt: dirt. So, as kingdom people today, sprinkled throughout the world, let us be always about the task of bringing spiritual life, health, and flavor to the world. It can’t be found anywhere else.

Maj. John Jacobson, 106-years-old, and believed to be the oldest World War II veteran in Alabama, passed away last week. As an officer during World War II, Jacobson was the quartermaster for General George S. Patton, Jr. Even after celebrating his 100th birthday, Jacobson regularly visited with children and local organizations to inspire them to do more service in their community. His well-known mantra was, “another day of living is another day to serve.” Jacobson was a staple of the annual Memorial Day ceremony at the Alabama State Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Spanish Fort. He is pictured above with some of the local Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts he spoke with during the 2016 ceremony.

Despite the fact that British were in control of the Alabama Gulf Coast for a relatively short 20 years, they arguably had the most lasting impact of any of the European powers. While that impact can be seen in the structures that still exist, we can also gauge the value of the British presence along the Gulf Coast based on the individuals that came here to make a living or to serve their government. Two such men were Maj. Robert Farmar and naturalist William Bartram. Maj. Farmar came to Mobile in 1763 after serving in the European Theater with the British Army. In Mobile he commanded an occupying force that took control of the city from the French after the British victory in the French and Indian War (the Seven Years War outside of North America). Farmar’s duties included refitting Fort Charlotte and establishing the British military and political presence along the Gulf Coast. Beyond his prescribed duties Farmar spent a great deal of time amassing large tracts of land including a plantation along the Tensaw River in the area of present day Stockton. It was on the Tensaw property that Farmar and his wife Mary Anderson produced five children and built an impressive plantation home they

called Farm Hall. Farmar lived there with his family from 1771 until his death in 1778. The Farm Hall tract contained 34 acres, although the total arable land associated with the plantation far exceeded that number. The plantation was well appointed and would have been the envy of any potential planter attempting to establish themselves along the Gulf Coast. The value of any late 18th century plantation could be determined by the number of acres and the availability of workers to clear and cultivate the fields. Farmar’s agricultural estate boasted such numbers and claimed a total of as many as 55 slaves which made Farm Hall a large operation by the standards of the day. The worth of the slaves in 1780 totaled $14,121.00, a considerable sum. In addition Farmar employed at least two paid supervisors that oversaw the production of crops like indigo and rice and the raising of cattle. And while Farmar was a good example of how an entrepreneur could be a success along the Alabama Gulf Coast, William Bartram exemplified the frontier explorer and proved just how much there was to learn from this rich region. In the summer of 1775 Bartram spent time in the Tensaw country recording its flora and fauna and visiting with Robert Farmar. Bartram used the Farmar plantation as a

base from which he could carry out detailed observations of the surrounding area. From this elaborate encampment Bartram discovered the Evening Primrose which he favored over the numerous other discoveries found on his journey through the southern American frontier. Bartram was America’s first native born naturalist/artist and he spent several years putting together a collection of his discoveries from the southeast which he published in 1791 as “Travels.” His work included the flora and fauna he recorded as he travelled through what would become North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee. While in Alabama, Bartram canoed into the Mobile/ Tensaw River Delta recording much of the plant and animal life of that region which had remained virtually unchanged for thousands of years. And there is no better means by which to take in this undisturbed beauty than by taking a canoe trip along the Bartram Canoe Trail. The trail, named in honor of 18th century naturalist William Bartram, stretches some 200 miles through the delta and is one of the longest canoe trails in the United States. It offers canoeists and kayakers 13 different routes from which to choose, including three with floating campsites.

Tilson CEO named ‘Top Young Professional’ FOLEY, Ala. and PORTLAND, Maine — Tilson President and CEO Joshua Broder has been named a “Top Young Professional” in New England by Engineering News-Record, the magazine of record for stakeholders in the commercial engineering and construction industries since 1917. Tilson Technology in Foley is headquartered in Maine. Broder, a former U.S. Army Signal Officer, is one of nine professionals in New England who will be recognized in the July 24-31 issue of ENR New England for their model leadership, community service, and contributions to the industry before age 40. Broder was nominated for his role in numerous broadband infrastructure initiatives, including: the Three Ring Binder Project; the deployment of ultra-

fast LTE cellular systems for several carriers; smart metering and grid automation networks at utilities throughout the Northeast; and other efforts to bring Internet access to unserved and underserved communities. “Throughout his decorated military and business careers, Josh has proven himself one of the most brilliant young minds in our industry today,” said Mike Dow, founder of Tilson. “Tilson’s growth alone is a tremendous achievement, but what sets Josh apart is how he has used his experiences to engage other veterans in the industry, advance our nation’s critical infrastructure, and build a successful company.” Major milestones Broder has achieved include: growing Tilson’s workforce from 10 em-

ployees in Maine to over 240; expanding Tilson’s nationwide presence by opening seven regional offices from coast-to-coast; earning Tilson a place on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies six consecutive years running; and, in 2017, earning Tilson the distinction of “Maine and New England VeteranOwned Small Business of the Year” from the U.S. Small Business Administration. Broder has also demonstrated a commitment to hiring veterans in the engineering and construction fields for their ability to apply military precision to information technology and telecommunications

applications. To date, nearly 50% of Tilson’s workforce is comprised of veterans. “I’m honored to be included, and grateful to represent our hard-working team. It’s a dream to come to work with such a cohesive team.” said Broder of his recognition. Broder holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Middlebury College, and is a Distinguished Military Graduate of the University of Vermont’s Military Studies program. He also holds an Advanced Certificate in Entrepreneurship from John F. Kennedy University, and is a member of Leadership Maine’s Omicron Class.

Puzzles STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Samantha Weaver • It was beloved poet William Wordsworth, best know for helping to launch the Romantic age in English literature, who made the following sage observation: “The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.”

• The world’s largest bird, the ostrich, may not be able to fly, but that doesn’t mean its wings are useless. As the fastest bird on land, the ostrich uses its wings for balance while slowing down and making turns as it runs at speeds of up to 45 mph. • In 1994, a man named Robert Puelo started cursing and shouting at employees in a convenience store. When the employees (understandably) threatened to call the police, the man stole a hot dog and ran out. The police were called, and upon arrival, they discovered Puelo outside the store, unconscious and turning purple. Paramedics were called, but by the time they arrived, it was too late; the man had choked to death on his stolen sausage.

WEEKLY SUDOKU

• The word “widow” comes to modern English via the Old English word “widewe,” which in turn comes from a Sanskrit term meaning “empty.”

Assume you’re East, defending against four hearts. Partner leads the queen of clubs, which wins, and continues with the jack, which South ruffs. Declarer crosses to dummy with a trump and returns a spade. If you follow low, South makes the contract. His jack forces West’s ace, and there is nothing your partner can do to harm declarer. For example, a spade return to your king would be futile, since it would make South’s queen a trick and allow him to discard a diamond from dummy on it. A diamond return would be equally fruitless, while a passive club return would also do nothing constructive, since declarer could develop a spade trick himself by later leading a spade from dummy. But if you rise with the king when the spade is led from dummy at trick

four, and then shift to a diamond, declarer bites the dust. He loses two spades, a diamond and a club and goes down one. The question that arises, of course, is how are you supposed to know that you should go up with the king of spades at trick four? It seems too unusual a play to make without seeing all four hands; furthermore, it violates the rule of second hand low. Yet the play of the king is entirely logical. Once declarer ruffs the second club, it becomes clear that the only real hope of scoring four defensive tricks is to assume that your partner has the ace of spades and a diamond trick. If declarer has the A-Q of spades, your king is dead whatever you do, so you might as well play the monarch and hope for the best. When the king holds the trick, returning a diamond just adds the icing to the cake.

Hall. However, a new deHe pled guilty to a misde-

velopment is even more bizarre. During the fall elections, Democrats won all of the Jefferson County judgeships. Along with the judgeships, Jefferson County voters elected a Democratic District Attorney. Democrat Charles Henderson beat incumbent Republican Brandon Falls by over 10,000 votes. Get this folks, the sitting DA trumps up a perjury charge against the new DA a few days before he was to take office. Falls convened a grand jury on January 12 and returned an indictment the next day on January 13. Henderson was to take office the following Monday. As anybody knows, a prosecutor can indict a potato for anything at any time. This scenario proves that point. The loser, Falls, got the winner, Henderson, indicted for perjury. This is so bizarre and corrupt a situation that it makes the aforementioned stories pale in comparison. It makes Jefferson County and Alabama look like a third world banana republic. There are rampant rumors that the State’s top watchdog, Prosecutor Matt Hart, is camped out in Jefferson County and massive indictments are on the way. It has been over 70 years

since Louisiana had a similar scenario. Nobody has been as brash in between. The Louisiana King Fish Huey Long was assassinated on the steps of the capitol in Baton Rouge. Huey Long’s brother, Earl Long, followed his famous older brother as governor. Earl was one colorful character. His opponents decided to seize power from Earl. They took control of the state police and had Earl arrested and put in the state insane asylum. One of the best political movies ever is entitled “Blaze” starring Paul Newman and it illustrates this story of Louisiana political lore. I recommend it for entertainment. These past two years in Alabama politics would make for a good movie. This latest Jefferson County fiasco would have to be a part of the plot. Look out Louisiana; we’ve got some good theater in the Heart of Dixie. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

Why the National Endowment for the Humanities matters to Alabama Here in Alabama we care deeply about our heritage. We celebrate our culture, and we know that to be worthy of our future we must honor the best of our past. This is why it troubles us that the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has been slated for elimination. The NEH, which supports museums, archives, libraries, colleges, and universities, favors projects that reach the widest possible public for widest possible impact. For example, NEH funding has supported scholars across the country in putting presidential papers on-line. Thanks to NEH, educators here in Mobile and throughout Alabama can share with our stu-

dents material that was once packed away in dusty boxes, accessible only to experts. In addition to preserving our American heritage, the NEH helps expand our knowledge of regions of the world vital to US interests. For example, University of South Alabama scholars with the Center for the Study of War and Memory have asked the NEH to fund a project to translate and publish key documents of Russian military history that give Americans and policy makers critical context for understanding Russian military thinking today. Some have asked, “Why should the American people pay for the NEH?” We would answer

that we have a duty to the past to preserve our heritage and a duty to the future to teach our children about our history and culture. Moreover, it is in our interest today to understand other world cultures in order to make informed global policy decisions. Supporting the study and celebration of American history and culture is a civic responsibility and an act of patriotism. Supporting the study of the world is essential to national security. These are the core missions of the NEH and they accomplish them for very little money in comparison to the overall budget. NEH receives .003% of our national budget or about 47 cents per American

annually. It has been suggested that private networks can fund the kinds of programs supported by the NEH, and they can help, but public support is essential. Think about it: should Thomas Jefferson’s papers belong to Princeton University or to all Americans? From our small investment in the NEH, we reap a huge reward: ownership of our rich national heritage.

The First Hangout

t seems amazing that things that happened just a few short years ago (well, 60 or 70 years) are now the stuff we tell our grandchildren. When we talk about going to the Little Casino, we don’t mean a gambling hall – Casino was the name given to recreation facilities, usually near water. Fairhope and Daphne each had one where there were dances, skating rinks, and canteens. But the one at Gulf Shores is the stuff of which folklore is made. Oh, the stories we can tell of the good ol’ days. Sounds like we are making it up, but this story is really true!

The truck parked right

at the end of Highway 59 – at the beach. There were only four or five establishments there in the 1950s: Neal’s (Fannie Flagg’s family store), Romeo’s, A&W Root Beer, and the Casino, which was right where the Hangout is today. The Casino was the real happenin’ place on the beach. Built by the Golemon family right after WWII using sal-

opened The Casino in 1947. Right away, a hurricane claimed their buildings, but the Golemons just purchased more surplus Quonset huts, and this time used anchors in the concrete. From then on, hurricanes succeeded only in washing loads and loads of sand onto

the dance floor. Oh yes, the dance floor – the reason the Casino became the mecca for teenagers of the 1950s – a place to jitterbug the nights away, right on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. The jukebox was seldom silent. Bill Haley and the Comets sang Rockin’ Around the Clock almost 24 hours a day. There was magic in dancing barefoot on a sandy floor. After the State of Alabama built a large pavilion at the State Park down the road, the teenagers started calling the Goleman place the Little Casino. About that time, hip youngsters started using the slang, “Let’s go hang out.” The new informal name caught on. Floddie and James Goleman raised their three children there. I had a visit with Jim, the eldest son, who is now an insurance agent in Daphne.

He will tell you all about the winters there when there was no one to be seen for miles around. He rode the school bus to Foley, cross-

ing over the new Intracoastal Canal via the old cantilever bridge. Even after the family moved to Spanish Fort in 1957, summers were spent at the Casino, where Jim continued to shovel sand off the dance floor every night and spent days skin diving at the Whiskey Barge wreck. When I talk with people who hung out at the Little Casino, they always smile. I am not sure they tell me all the things they did at the Hangout for fear their children will find out. I do know that many children were not allowed to go there because they actually sold beer! If you kids want to see what it was really like in the days of Beach Blanket Bingo, go to the Foley Railroad Museum and take a look at the old Foley High School Annuals that are on file there. You may learn a lot about Grandma and Grandpa that will surprise you. But don’t tell them I told you so.

National Geographic’s first scripted series takes a ‘Genius,’ namely Albert Einstein By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it No one is likely to quibble with “Genius” being the title of a drama series about Albert Einstein. Based on Walter Isaacson’s book “Einstein: His Life and Universe,” the program — with executive producers including Oscar winners Ron Howard, who makes his scripted-television directorial debut with the first episode, and Brian Grazer — premieres Tuesday, April 25, as National Geographic’s first-ever scripted show. Fellow Academy Award recipient Geoffrey Rush (“Shine”) and Johnny Flynn (“Song One”) share the role of Einstein at different ages, with the teleplay first focusing on the physics student’s teen years. The start of World War I and, as one might expect, Einstein’s theory of relativity are destined to have major impacts on his life ... as are his complex personal ties, including his marriage to his cousin, as well as his second wife, Elsa (played by Emily Watson, who worked with Flynn in his first movie, “Crusade in Jeans”).

Geoffrey Rush plays the older Albert Einstein in “Genius,” premiering Tuesday on National Geographic.

buting the filmed-in-Prague “Genius” globally in 171 countries — “the perfect home and platform for it, and it suggested some things that I thought were very important and set the bar very high. National Geographic stands for integrity and authenticity. It tells us stories in a comprehensive way, and yet is riveting and very, very engrossing. And, last but not least, it’s always visually compelling and fascinating and immersive. These are all important goals to try to set, for not just the first hour, but in the series. “I really wanted it to be a psychological study,” notes Howard, “so I felt that as much as we could, (we should) use Einstein’s perspective on the world, and also the key people, particularly the women in his life and their perspectives on him. These were sort of the two pulls that I kept working off of visually and then, in that immersive way, tried to be as visual as we could. We have a fantastic cinematographer (Mathias Herndl), and it suggested a lot of strong imagery, which was exciting to work with.”

When he relocates from Europe to America, Einstein gains an enemy in FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover (“Grey’s Anatomy” alum T.R. Knight) during the era when Adolf Hitler becomes an international concern, including to Einstein. “We (conferred) on Skype,” Rush reports of matching his performance to Flynn’s, “because I was in Melbourne, in preparation, and he was working in London. Then I went to London and we hung out together, and we did a lot of chatting about being doppelgangers. He plays 16 quite convincingly, up until about the mid 30s ... then I rather dangerously take over, from the early 40s until Einstein was in his mid-70s.” “We had the same dialect coach who was working with us,” Flynn adds, “and that, I think, was a huge help because Geoffrey had worked with her before. She was a medium for us to communicate and get a sense of this person physically and vocally, and kind of combine our ideas.” Howard deems National Geographic — which is de-
