The Sheffield Flashlight Three/Richard Herston...Again

Remember the three youths injured during a police chase in Muscle Shoals? They had allegedly stolen a flashlight from Walmart. Tom Smith's TD article stated the youngest was 16; however, all three either attend or have attended Sheffield schools and the youngest is 14 at most, but probably 13. Let's hope the driver, who was the most seriously injured, recovers shortly.

Rogersville mayor Richard Herston has pronounced Rick & Bubba instruments of the Devil. They had the nerve to point out that a singer named Red Marlow, currently competing in a televised amateur contest, isn't really from Rogersville, but from Anderson, an incorporated community immediately to the north of Rogersville.

Guess Rick & Bubba didn't get the memo that Herston has been known to alter the truth if he thinks it helps Rogersville. Insert politician jokes here.

Can any of our readers provide captioning or a transcript of the Muscle Shoals School Board video which featured Blake Jarmon's termination vote? It could be confined to the remarks featuring parent Josh Kelley and the termination agenda item and vote. You can get in touch with us at Shoalanda.Speaks@gmail.com.

Speaking of Jarmon's termination, we had previously reported that the math teacher had retained a Birmingham attorney. While the AEA may be providing him with a lawyer from that city, Mr. Jarmon himself has hired Tom Heflin, according to one news report.

Parents are expected to descend on the Muscle Shoals City Council meeting Monday night in support of the terminated McBride teacher. Oh, joy! Christmas fireworks! We can hardly wait for New Year's...
