George Smith's column of Wednesday 14 November 2018
Four members of Anniston’s City Council spent Tuesday afternoon visiting possible new locations for City Hall, a tour that seemed to do little to narrow the council’s list of potential sites.
Monday’s rainfall in Anniston totalled 3.91 inches, one of the state’s highest measurements of the week, National Weather Service forecasters in Calera said.
Patients can go to Highland’s Jacksonville facility for the program, but that’s no consolation for Linda Moore. “I don’t drive,” Moore said, adding that Highland Health vans had picked her up for the program in Heflin before the cutbacks.
During the work session prior to the meeting, Robert Richardson,a representative from Alabama Power, addressed the council about the city changing out its old and aging street lamps to newer and more efficient LED fixtures.
City leaders on Tuesday also voted to change the time of the council’s Nov. 27 meeting to 5:30 p.m. on account of the Regional Medical Center Foundation’s tree lighting ceremony in Oxford that same night.

AUBURN — No one is happy with where Auburn is offensively this season, least of all Gus Malzahn.
SAKS — A good team beset by a significant injury often just needs time to retool, and Saks had no time when lineman Dawson Wells suffered a season-ending knee injury ahead of last year’s 4A quarterfinals.
