Charles F. Charlie Boman Passes Away -
|
Longtime Gadsden broadcaster and community leader Charles F. “Charlie Boman” is dead.
Boman was born in Gadsden, the son of longtime Gadsden Police Chief Fay Boman, who served in that position from 1942 to 1959. Boman left Gadsden to serve in the U.S. Army as the voice of Armed Services Radio during the Korean Conflict from Guam – and later in New York City – before returning to Gadsden.
In 1963, Boman bought AM 930, moving the studios to the Life of Alabama building, improving both studio and transmitter equipment. In 1978 he was named Alabama Broadcasters Association Broadcaster of the Year.
Boman is also known as a broadcasting pioneer, having established FM powerhouse WQEN at 103.7 FM. Boman established the station as WLJM – named after his children Lloyd, John and Mary Faye. He sold the station in 1974 to the operators of WAAX.
Since that time Boman remained a stalwart of Gadsden’s community life. He was responsible for giving Gadsden the title City of Champions during a 1958 broadcast. He was always known as a huge supporter of several churches, charities and social organizations.
Boman was once president of the Gadsden Chamber, and has served on several boards, including past Chairman of the Alabama Public Television Commission, as well as being a member of the SouthTrust Bank and Salvation Army Board.
The 32nd degree Mason was a member of the Gadsden Masonic lodge 236 and member of the First Baptist Church of Gadsden.
Boman had fought a series of illnesses in recent years, most related to his bladder cancer. He had been in and out of the hospital numerous times and passed away Thursday afternoon at Gadsden Regional Medical Center.
Charles F “Charlie” Boman was 81.
Funeral arrangements are being handled by Morgan Funeral Chapel & Crematory.
The funeral will be at First Baptist Church of Gadsden Sunday, but the time has yet to be decided according to family members.

Debate Over Purchase of New Patrol Cars -
|
Four new patrol cars have been delivered to Chattooga County and are being outfitted for use for the Chattooga County Sheriff`s Department. The problem is the cars have not been paid for and according to Chattooga County Commissioner Jason Winters those cars were NOT approved for purchase by the Sheriff`s Department.
A letter from the commissioner to the Chattooga County Sheriff`s Department states:
`It has come to my attention that the Sheriff`s Department has received shipment of approximately four patrol cars from a dealership. The cars have not been authorized for purchase, nor was proper bid procedure followed and financing has not been acquired for any possible purchase. The cars are not insured nor covered under county comprehensive coverage or liability insurance and should not be kept on county property but be returned to the dealership in order to resolve this situation.
Sheriff John Everett has told media outlets that the issue HAD been discussed with the commissioner, despite his claims to the contrary.
What will happen with the new patrol cars still remains to be seen.

Mike Rogers on Needed Change -
|
2012 is off to a busy start and Congress has returned for its second session.
Unfortunately as our economy continues to limp along there still seems to be too much “business as usual” around our nation’s capital.
For example, let’s look at the budget. Every family across East Alabama lives by its income and expenses. That’s why it’s troubling that January 24th marked 1,000 days since a budget has been passed by the Democrat-controlled Senate. Americans are left scratching their heads knowing Congress can do better.
Meanwhile, here in Alabama the unemployment rate has been going down. That seems to be good news, which we all hope means more people are finding work. Of course, there continues to be new layoffs as well, leaving even more people suffering and asking ‘where are the jobs?’Jobs have to be our nation’s number one priority in 2012. In the House, Republicans have passed 27 bipartisan bills which are part of the Plan for America’s Job Creators, but all of these bills are still sitting idle in the Senate. Let’s get those bills passed.
One of them deals with a once-obscure energy independence and jobs project called Keystone Pipeline XL. This pipeline, designed to carry oil from Canada to refineries in the U.S., is estimated to create thousands of jobs.It also would help increase our energy independence by lowering the amount of oil we need to import from countries that may not have our best interests at heart.I hope President Obama ends his opposition to the project and instead helps our country become even more energy independent while helping get Americans back to work.
And as February begins, I hope we will all take time to acknowledge Black History month. East Alabama is rich in history of great African Americans and was honored by the recent premier of the movie ‘Red Tails’ about the brave Tuskegee Airmen.We will continue to honor them and all of our civil rights leaders who have made a difference.
As always, contact me on this or any issue at www.mike-rogers.house.gov – become a fan on Facebook at Congressman Mike D. Rogers – follow me on Twitter at RepMikeRogersAL – and subscribe to my YouTube page at MikeRogersAL03.
