Anniston, AL Humane Society June, 2009
Anniston, AL - Money problems could force the euthanization of hundreds of animals. The Humane Society of Calhoun County in Anniston can't even pay its utility bills. Without an immediate surge in donations, this could be the beginning of the end for the shelter and its animals...* abc3340.com Thank you! We made it! Our $10,000 goal for
the ChipIn campaign has been met! Thank you to every single one of the
199 people who contributed to this ChipIn. Large or small, your
contribution made a difference in the lives of this shelter and all the
animals staying there until they find their forever home. (The Campaign

from the previous Name_________________ Name_________________ Address_______________ 6/29/09 Municipal Alcohol Sales in Marion County A Possibility? by Wayne Mays
With the passage of HB175 earlier this month, alcohol sales in municipalities in Marion County just might become a reality. HB175 is a bill that was introduced by James M. "JIMMY" Martin (D) from 42nd District, which includes the counties of Chilton and Shelby, on February 3, 2009 in the regular session of the Alabama House of Representatives. The bill lowers the population requirement for towns to hold a municipal option election to change wet/dry status from 7,000 people to 1,000 people giving most towns in Marion County the opportunity to choose. POPULATIONS (AS OF 2007) - Hamilton – 6786, Winfield – 4642, Guin – 2198, Hackleburg – 1453 and Bear Creek – 1004. Brilliant, Glen Allen and Gu-Win all fall below the 1000 population limit. For a town to hold an election to vote for the sale of alcoholic beverages the petition has to be filed with the city or town clerk with signatures of residents of that municipality totaling 30% of the number of voters that voted in the previous general election in that municipality. At the time of this story there is a petition being circulated in Hamilton which needs approximately 700 signatures and at last count had somewhere around 400 signatures. The municipal option election shall be held at the time of the primary, general, county-wide or municipal election next succeeding the date of the filing of the petition. June Food Assistance Program State Pro-ration the budget for the
Food Assistance Program was reduced by 10% for this year. We will use
the funds available the best that we can. Thanks for your cooperation.

following locations Spay/Neuter Tags
Thanks to an anonymous donor, we made it! There were
enough spay/neuter tags presold to make the tag issuance a reality.
Prepaid tags can be picked up at the county license division beginning
March 2, 2009. If you haven't signed up for a tag yet, you can still get
yours when you renew your license, for $50 plus your normal vehicle
license renewal fee.

OTHER EVENTS
Friday,
SENATOR ROGER BEDFORD I hope all of you have been having an enjoyable
summer despite the heat and have been able to enjoy some quality time
with your loved ones and friends. This past week, I had the opportunity
to spend some quality time with my son as we attended the Braves v.
Yankees game in Atlanta. Even though the Braves were defeated, it was a
good game and I was glad to be able to spend time with my son. Paul's Keys to Joy -- Philippians 4:1-9 We live in difficult times. Our country continues to fight a war against Islam and the terrorism that is always associated with it. Our economy is only beginning to "pay the piper" for its excesses and failure to practice self-control. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are losing their jobs and the future of many other is uncertain at best. People of faith are disappointed that our new President has chosen to capitulate to terrorists while expanding the war on the unborn. (part 1) Paul's Keys to Joy -- Philippians 4:1-9 We live in difficult times. As noted in our first article in this series, it can be difficult to look at the world around us without becoming discouraged. But time and again God’s children are told to be happy. The apostle Paul was one who had many opportunities to be discouraged, but instead worked through his problems while encouraging others more fortunate than himself. (part 2) Food Inspections Sam LeMaster SLeMaster@adph.state.al.us
"Preston Headrick" <pastor@ccfhamilton.org> It would be interesting to do an in depth study on these sons and David’s wives. Perhaps another day the Lord will give me time to do that, but on this Fathers Day week I thought that I would just share a few of my thoughts on this family with so many challenges and how that it relates to us. We know that later David would have another son by the name of Solomon as a result of his marriage to Bathsheba following their adulterous affair. (More...on the Religion Page)

'MOVING' Please support the humane society! I am a concerned resident of Marion County, also a member of the Marion County Humane Society. For a few years now, I have sat by and watched as animals continue to be a second-thought for many people of this community. Animals are being dumped along the roads, let loose to wander the countryside--“Do you know where your animals are?”--or being destroyed because people do not know what else to do. Be responsible pet owners. Please do not make them someone else’s problem. My belief is people feel they have no other options or literally do not care. We do not have a building in this county to help give these animals a second chance or give people other options to deal with animals that aren’t wanted or they just can’t take care of anymore. I know not everyone is heartless; sometimes we can barely take care ourselves, much less the animals. Times are hard and the people of Marion County have been hit hard with job losses, just as it is everywhere, so we have to make choices. I know we are not a rich county but we can be rich in spirit and heart. I am an animal lover, having animals of my own; some were throw-away animals when I took them in. However, I, and many others who feel as I do, cannot rescue all throw-away animals by ourselves. I feel that animals are God’s precious creatures and have just as much right to have a home, food and love as we humans do. We are the animal’s caretakers just as we are caretakers of our own precious children. When given the necessities of life, they provide us with years of joy and unconditional love. However, when it comes to providing shelter for animals, many of us just figure it will take care of itself. It will not. Please help us find the money it will take to build Marion County the building it needs to house and care for these animals. When you see the humane society trying to raise money, please help if you can--every little bit helps. Put your change in the dog banks around town, join the humane society, and come to meetings. The Marion County Humane Society was given the land to build on (five acres), thanks to the Marion County Commission, but that is just the beginning. People also need to be aware of the importance of spaying and neutering and vaccinating your animals, especially if you let them roam. I am asking for the animals, who cannot speak for
themselves, that if you have any means at all, please donate to the
Marion County Humane Society. Teach your children that the welfare of
animals is a priority. We would appreciate help from any businesses,
corporations, churches, private donors, benefactors, any that could help
us help the animals. It might make you feel warm and fuzzy all over, and
you could use it as a tax write-off. Please open your hearts and pockets if you can; anything is welcome. Even if you feel it does not affect you or it does not benefit you directly, I am begging you, please support the Marion County Humane Society. We need help from all of Marion County, not just one city, or the handful of people who have had to do it all. Be a part of something good and right. This is strictly my opinion and thanks to everyone for your support ahead of time. Carolyn Permenter |
