  • DIP IN YOUR BIG TOE

    Buddy Hicks|Jun 1, 2018

    What is the market going to do? I don’t know. You don’t know. You can’t find anyone who does know exactly what the market is going to do. That’s why it is called speculation. And it is exactly why so many people choose not to invest. They are risk averse and can’t find the perfect time to enter the market. They have seen the stories of investors who have lost thousands or hundreds of thousands and have vowed to never be in that position. They have seen other investors who have timed the marke...

  • History vs History... Civil War Can We UNITE in today's society?

    Staff Writer|May 1, 2018

    This article is a summary of much longer articles written by David Barton and Stephen McDowell. You can access these articles by clicking on the links at the end. Introduction One objection to America being a Christian nation and our founders being strong believers is the question of slavery. How could we have been a Christian nation and have allowed slavery? And how could men like Thomas Jefferson and George Washington have been such great men when they owned slaves? These questions deserve an...

  • History vs History

    Staff Writer|May 1, 2018

    The origins of the word "lynch" probably originated during our revolution. The verb comes from the phrase "Lynch Law", a term for punishing someone without benefit of a trial. Charles Lynch, an American, is given credit for coining the phrase. He lived in Virginia in the 1780s and was known to have used the term. In 1782, Charles Lynch wrote that his assistant had administered "Lynch's law" to Tories "for Dealing with Negroes." Lynch was a Virginia planter and American Revolutionary who headed...

  • THE MAKO SYSTEM ~ KNEE REPLACEMENT

The history of knee replacement has been one of steady technological improvements, and the latest innovation has now come to Montgomery. Computer assisted robotic arm knee replacement is now being performed in Central Alabama.

  • HOW OLD IS YOUR ANNUITY?

    Buddy Hicks|May 1, 2018

    Look back over the past decade at some of the things you have done or accomplished. You may have gotten married, graduated college, had a baby, started a business, bought or sold a house or retired. Now examine the financial moves that you made regarding those accomplishments. Other than right now, how often have you thought about or reviewed those financial decisions? If your answer is not very often or never, then now is the time to do so.

  • No Name Literary Club 125th Anniversary Tea at the home of Mary McLemore ~ April 18, 2018

    Anne Tidmore|May 1, 2018

    In 1893 a group of forward thinking ladies formed the first literary club in Montgomery and the second in the State at that time. They named their club No Name because they could not agree on a name, and it still goes by the same name today! Recently, the No Name Club celebrated their 125th anniversary with an afternoon tea at the home of Mary and Price McLemore in Rosemont Place. Guests included friends of members as well as Presidents and Vice ­­­­Presidents of other Literary Clubs in Montgome...

    Steve Flowers|May 1, 2018

    We are less than four weeks away from our June 5th primary. Those of us who follow Alabama politics have pointed to this year as being a very entertaining and interesting gubernatorial year. However, last year’s resignation by former Governor, Robert Bentley and the ascension of Kay Ivey from Lt. Governor to the Governor’s office has put a damper on the excitement we anticipated in the governor’s race. Kay took over the reins of state government and her appearance as a seasoned veteran of state...

  • Is This the Beginning of More "BIG GOVERNMENT" in the Name of Safety?

    Staff Writer|Apr 1, 2018

    Can we protect ALL of our citizens (from birth to death) without giving up our freedoms – or is this a picture of "big money" negating our Constitution and destroying the fundamental source of our Republic? Does this picture represent the "pleas of our youth" or the "manipulation of our youth" for political reasons. This is a big question we all must ask ourselves. Our youth should never fear for their lives at school or in their communities! They do deserve better! As adults can we not come u...

  • Inside the Statehouse

    Steve Flowers|Apr 1, 2018

    Republicans took control of federal offices and presidential races in 1964 in Alabama. It was referred to as the Goldwater Landslide. The Baxley-Graddick fiasco in 1986 was the game changer for governor. In the last 32 years there have been eight governor’s races. Republicans have won all of them, with one exception. Don Siegelman was an interloper in 1998. During that same period, Alabamians have elected all Republicans to every secondary, statewide office. There are six secondary c...

  • TOO MUCH TO BEAR

    Buddy Hicks|Apr 1, 2018

    Ok, so you’ve heard me talk about the importance of life insurance and long term care insurance. But there is another type of insurance that is very important as well. If something happened to you today and you were not able to work anymore or at least for a long period of time, how would you pay your bills, buy food for your family or buy anything else needed for your family. Now, most of you might have a good six months or more worth of income saved up which could cover you or at least buy y...

  • Trump's Tariffs

    John Martin|Apr 1, 2018

    As we forge ahead into the Donald’s second year of office, we are witnessing some serious improvements in America’s economy—taxes are being cut, production is up, wages are up, and unemployment is down. The future hasn’t looked this bright since the best days of Dwight D. Eisenhower. But then, suddenly, Trump dropped his hammer—punitive tariffs on three very essential imported items—steel, aluminum, and photovoltaic cells. The rates are steep—10% for aluminum, 25% for steel, and 30% for solar...
