New Weapon
War on Spice
|
|
in Alabama
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley has given law enforcement agencies a new weapon in the war on drugs – signing into law Senate Bill 208, which will provide for expanded enforcement of the drug laws regarding synthetic marijuana compounds, commonly referred to as Spice.
Spice has rapidly become a huge problem – causing severe reactions, and now it seems, on-going health problems for many people using the drug.
It appears the biggest users are unsuspecting young people – who have no idea whatsoever of the severe consequences possible.
District Attorney Mike O’Dell recently held a press conference in Ft Payne regarding the dangers of Spice – he also spoke on the new, hard-line stance being taken by law enforcement against the drug
That new law signed by Governor Bentley has created a Class A Felony offense of Trafficking in Controlled Substance Analogs, for anyone possessing 28 grams or more of any of the items listed as being a Schedule I Drug.
30 specific chemicals have been added to that list, and in addition to that, any other chemical that is considered a controlled substance analog has been added to Schedule I if it contains a chemical structure similar to any other controlled substance listed in either Schedule I or Schedule II and it exhibits certain characteristics of drugs of abuse.
Any person violating this part of the new law, faces a minimum overall sentence of 10 years, and must serve at least three calendar years and a pay a minimum fine of $50,000.

One Hurt in Highway 35 Rollover -
|
Emergency personnel responded to a single-vehicle rollover on Highway 35 Sunday morning.
That accident took place just before 9:00am between the Gaylesville four-way stop and Highway 9 and involved a 2005 Infiniti.
The vehicle left the roadway, rolled at least once and finally came to rest upside down, in a ditch.
According to those on the scene – the driver, listed on the Alabama State Trooper accident report as Daniel Wooten of a Georgia address, stated that the car hydroplaned and he lost control during the heavy rain. Wooten was listed as being hurt in the wreck – however – there was no additional information regarding the extent of his injuries; a passenger in the vehicle who was not identified on the accident report, apparently escaped injury.
Gaylesville firefighters directed traffic as troopers worked the accident.

- MORE WILDLIFE THAN YOU CAN `BEAR`
- More than one Black Bear was reportedly spotted in Etowah County over the weekend.

According to state conservation officials, a total of four calls were fielded, by the Gadsden Police Department concerning the bear in East Gadsden.

We all know the many advantages that a microwave has over a conventional oven – one of those being it’s just a whole lot easier to throw at someone.
A 25 year old Rome man is facing multiple charges after allegedly picking up a microwave – and hitting a Floyd County Sheriff’s Deputy in the face with it.
According to warrants at the Floyd County Jail, deputies went to the residence of James Tommy Turner in order to serve an active warrant when the altercation occurred. Reports indicate that the deputy required seven stitches to close the laceration.
Turner has been charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery, and simple battery on a police officer as well as obstruction.
We didn’t say it was smart – just easier.

Book Signing -
|
What was considered no hope for one woman`s muscles to regain strength, is now an extraordinary miracle and medical breakthrough as told in Steel Standing. The gripping true medical mystery depicts the journey Patricia Davis Harton experienced.
The much talked about, local hometown story is available in print. This is the first book signing on on Saturday , May 19, from 10 a.m. - 12 noon at the Cherokee County Historical Museum , 101 E. Main Street, Centre, AL, at the historic Cherokee Museum.
This amazing true story depicts the trials and triumphs of a family praying for guidance. Patricia`s health began deteriorating soon after she was diagnosed with Inflammatory Myopathy in 2009. Before her muscle biopsy, Patricia was previously thought to have Lou Gehrig`s Disease. Although she had lived in an incredibly vibrant life as a independent healthy person, neurologists said her muscles would continue to weaken over time.
New muscle tissue has begun to grow with an increased range of motion and stability throughout her entire body. Patricia is the first non-scientific documented medical case deemed a medical breakthrough by her attending neurologist, researcher and neuromuscular specialist, The University of Alabama at Birmingham Medical Center, Birmingham, Alabama.
Her daughter Christa, initiated her own research, trying to discover what could have triggered the inflammation. Her mother been a gifted pianist since the young age of four, and could play for hours at a time. It was a unique warning when her daughter witnessed her upper body mother`s strength diminishing. Patricia got to the point she could no longer feed, bathe, or dress herself. Christa resigned her job with a nuclear plant and returned home, eventually becoming her mother`s full time caregiver.
Once the metals (Cobalt-Chromium-Nickel) were completely revised (Titanium), Patricia`s health became vibrant again. A pivotal clue unearthed the key to the medical mystery, unlocking answers and providing solutions not only for Patricia`s case, but for anyone who has metal implants or joint replacements with potential metal allergies from the types of metals in the implants . Astonishingly, Patricia`s symptoms seemed to be caused by an allergic reaction to the metals used in her hip and knee replacements. It was not due to faulty metal devices.
Christa`s theory, linking her mother`s muscle problems with her orthopaedic implants, was considered far-fetched and unlikely. At the time, the existence of metal induced allergy was not widely recognized. The facts documented throughout Steel Standing are obtained from highly credible medical sources, with patient case studies including scientific references and the latest published research.
The book signing in Patricia and Christa`s hometown marks a special occassion with the start-up of events to promote Steel Standing in Summer 2012.
This is Christa`s first published book, although she has contributed many articles to magazines and newsletters throughout her marketing and public relations career in communications since 1986. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in health and business management from Jacksonville State University, Jacksonville, AL. A large part of her career has been spent working in medical centers together with speciality physicians in clinical and non-clinical settings.
