Files from Yesteryear: Nov. 7, 1935

From the files of Nov. 7, 1935 St. Bernard Football By Robert J. Lawler, Special Correspondent Cullman football fans are promised a treat this Saturday afternoon when Coach Charlie Richards’ tricky St. Bernard football team lines up for the opening whistle against the Howard freshmen. Home talent predominates on the squad with the offensive built around that rarest of things, a deceptive back, in this case Clyde White, rangy signal-caller. All but two of the starting squad will be from Cullman county. Despite the hot weather the spirit and zest of his charges brings a deep-weather smile of contentment to the face of the tall coach. The Saints’ line makes up in speed and hard charges what they lack in bulk, producing results eminently pleasing to their coach. The backfield fondles the “prolate elliptical spheroid” like a mother does her child, in many plays as many as five men handling the ball. Using a single and double wing-back formation, which is patterned after the famed plays of Bernie Bierman of Minnesota, the tough Howard crew will find plenty to worry them during the sixty minutes of play, though Richards refused to be quoted as to his chances of winning.

Winter weather preparedness: Simple steps to protect your home, vehicle and family

CULLMAN, Ala. – As temperatures begin to drop and winter approaches, Cullman County residents are encouraged to take a few simple precautions to prepare for whatever Mother Nature may have in store. While Alabama may not experience the harsh winters seen in northern states, freezing temperatures, icy roads and occasional winter storms can still create dangerous conditions. From frozen pipes to unexpected power outages, a little preparation now can help prevent costly repairs and stressful situations later. Protecting your home from the cold One of the most common winter weather concerns for homeowners is frozen pipes. When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands, potentially causing the pipe to burst and leaving homeowners with expensive water damage. To help prevent frozen pipes, residents should insulate exposed plumbing, particularly in crawl spaces, attics, garages and along exterior walls. During especially cold weather, opening cabinet doors beneath sinks can allow warmer air to circulate around plumbing. Allowing a small trickle of water to run from faucets served by vulnerable pipes may also help prevent freezing. Residents should know where their home’s main water shutoff valve is located in case a pipe bursts. Other important home preparations include checking weather stripping around doors

Cullman graduate Paul Callan helps redesign schools he once attended

CULLMAN, Ala. – Architect Paul Callan is helping redesign some of the same school buildings where he once attended classes, including the space where he studied drafting at Cullman High School. Callan, a 1989 Cullman High graduate, is a senior project manager at Hoover-based Lathan McKee Architects. His work with Cullman City Schools includes renovations at Cullman Middle School, the new Cullman Intermediate School at the former West Elementary campus and the STEM and Career Tech Center at Cullman High. Callan attended East Elementary and Cullman Middle School before graduating from Cullman High and earning an architecture degree from Auburn University. His return to the district began when Superintendent Kyle Kallhoff and the school board selected his firm to work on the Cullman Middle School renovation. “It was a school I had attended many years before, and it was virtually unchanged from the classrooms where I was taught, the locker-lined hallways I had roamed and the gymnasium where I had played,” Callan said. A campus tour brought back memories but also revealed the need to update the facilities. The project replaced outdated spaces and added classrooms and other amenities while working within the existing campus. Callan said his experience on

PREP FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: Vinemont holds off Central-Florence 16-8 for first playoff win since 1993

FLORENCE, Ala. – Josh Rhodes ran for two touchdowns and Vinemont stopped Central-Florence on fourth down at the Eagles’ 8-yard line with five minutes remaining Friday night. The Eagles ran out the clock to secure a 16-8 victory over the Region 7 champion Wildcats in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs. It was Vinemont’s first postseason win since 1993. Head Coach Stephen Robinson was a sophomore on that team, which beat East Limestone 41-6 in the second round before losing 20-14 at Central-Florence the following week. “I’m just proud to get a little bit of revenge for those guys and mostly for these guys,” Robinson said. “Man, these seniors have worked so hard and our coaches have worked so hard.” Jaxon Marotz set up Vinemont’s first touchdown late in the opening quarter when he recovered a fumble and returned it into Central-Florence territory. Rhodes scored from a yard out, and Travis Speer ran in the 2-point conversion for an 8-0 lead. Central-Florence tied the game with just under five minutes left in the first half. Lucas Price scored on a 33-yard run, and Ja’kari Brown connected with Logan Pettus for the 2-point conversion. Vinemont regained the lead on

Flourish of Cullman launches ‘Rights in Real Life’ series

CULLMAN, Ala. – In October, local nonprofit Flourish of Cullman launched its online series “Rights in Real Life.” Founder and CEO Melissa Dew told the Tribune the series prompts readers to step into the shoes of those with differing disabilities. Each story ends with, “What would you do?” The question, while simple, has a deeper meaning for Flourish and represents why the nonprofit exists. Dew said asking the question, “What would you do?” helps those with differing abilities have a voice, make choices and be included in everyday life. “As part of our Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accreditation process, we received a recommendation to provide education on individual rights. That helped spark the idea for a series that makes those rights relatable through everyday situations and invites the community into the conversation,” she explained. “Words like ‘dignity,’ ‘independence’ and ‘inclusion’ matter, but stories help us see what those words look like in practice. Sometimes something as simple as assuming someone would not enjoy an outing means they never get the opportunity to decide for themselves. We want readers to pause, consider whose voice is missing and think about how they might respond.” As far as the transparency
