Three Hots and a Cot
receives $85,000 grant
by Gary Lloyd
Editor
The Home Depot Foundation has announced an
$85,000 grant for Three
Hots and a Cot to complete
rehab and renovations on
nine properties that offer permanent supportive
housing to 44 veterans and
their families in Birmingham.
The grant was awarded
as part of the latest round
of grants from The Home
Depot Foundation – total-
ing $3.9 million – in support of its five-year, $80
million commitment to
ensure every veteran has a
safe place to call home.
“Home Depot and their
local associates have been
a huge part of our success in serving our veterans here in Birmingham,”
said Three Hots and a
Cot President J.D. Simpson. “Whenever we have
a housing project – the
Home Depot orange shirts
are never far away. We are
honored and humbled to be
partnered with such an in-
credible organization like
Home Depot.”
Simpson said all nine
properties are in the Birmingham metro area. The
Ryan Winslow Veterans
Center is located on Old
Springville Road in the
Chalkville area. Part of
the grant will go toward
improvements to that location.

Trussville woman battling cancer for 3rd time:
‘People have done a lot’
by Gary Lloyd
Editor
Carolina Higginbotham
is battling cancer for the
third time.
The Trussville woman
was first diagnosed with
breast cancer in July 2010.
She finished radiation in
March 2011 and was in
remission until February
2012, when she was
diagnosed again. It had
spread to her bones.
In
July
2012,
Higginbotham
finished
chemotherapy and got
on a clinical study to test
whether or not it could
increase immunity and
keep the cancer away.
She got off the study in
September 2013. She was
in remission that entire time
and was until the beginning
of this year, when she said
she started having trouble
breathing. The cancer has
now spread to her liver and
lungs, she said.
Higginbotham
had
thoracic surgery and started
a clinical trial in January.
She was on it for six weeks
before a scan determined
it was unhelpful. In the
middle of March, she
started a new oral chemo
drug. She takes it for two
weeks and then takes a
week off. A scan two weeks
ago revealed that it was
working.
“It showed a really
big
improvement,”
Higginbotham said.
In the last two weeks,
Families Against Cancer in
Trussville held a car wash
and yard sale fundraiser
in downtown Trussville.
Some of the funds went
to Higginbotham’s family,
which includes husband,
David, and 8-year-old son
Josh, a first-grader at Paine
Primary School.
“That’s really amazing,”
she said.
The

Josh
department performed at
Friday’s Relay for Life
event in Trussville in
Higginbotham’s
honor,
which was “really kind,”
she said. People have
brought meals to her house,
and she’s developed great
friendships with people in
Trussville.
“People have done a lot,”
she said.
Her husband is also a
cancer survivor and the
couple lost a child in the
last several years. She said
it’s been a very difficult
time. She’s “very blessed”
to have a support system
of family and friends, she
said.
“It’s very difficult to
understand why all of this
happens, and it’s difficult
to come to a place where
you’re OK living with
cancer and living with
things like this happening
so often,” she said.
She said the awareness
being brought to cancer
and the goal of finding a
cure “means a lot to me,”
because a local event
focusing on local survivors
brings “a face” to it.
Originally from Mountain
Brook, Higginbotham had
never been to a Relay for
Life event before. A friend
from Mountain Brook who
goes always dedicates
a luminaria to her. She
planned to go to Relay for
Life last week in Trussville.
“It means a lot to me,”
she said. “It’s very special
to me.”

3 important health questions to ask yourself
W
hat are some
of your health
goals? If you’re
like most Americans,
you’ve set some health
goals for 2014. Losing
weight, eating healthier
and exercising more are
some of the most commonly set goals and are
great to strive for. The
problem, though, is that
most never achieve those
goals. Why is that? Why
do so many fall short year
after year? The answer
may lie in some questions
many have never thought
to ask.
The
first
question,
how is your neurological
health? You could be failing to reach your goals because your central nervous
system, the system that
controls your body, is malfunctioning. If you have a
problem in your neurological system, it could come
from the peripheral part
of your nervous system,
the part that connects to
muscles, tissues, and organs, or it could be an is-
sue of brain fatigue. Brain
fatigue is often directly
related to stress. If this
part of the nervous system
isn’t rehabbed, it can affect memory, function in
the body, and future neurological diseases. Your
neurological health sets
the tone for your overall
health.
The second question,
how is your structural
health? The nervous system is the only system in
your body that’s wrapped
in a hard bone covering.
Dr. Channing King
God created it this way, I
believe, because it needs
to be protected. For many
of you, because of stress
and bad habits, these bones
have shifted out of place,
thus blocking function to
some of the muscles and
organs the nerves supply.
This can lead to a variety
of symptoms and malfunctions. Structural health is
vital to you reaching your
health potential this year.
Finally, how is your
metabolic health? When
I say metabolic health, I
mean, how are your organs and glands functioning? In order to determine
metabolic health, I recommend some type of natural
functional lab and blood
testing. Many people have
had testing done and have
been told they’re normal
but still have not reached
their health goals. Sometimes, the reason for this
is that not enough testing
was done, or the results
were not evaluated functionally.
Once you know where
your metabolic health
stands, you can look into
natural alternatives to help
you reach your health
goals.
Lawmakers work to protect small business
owners, pass job creation bills
S
ince Republicans
took office in 2010,
one of our top priorities has been enacting
legislation that will create
jobs and grow Alabama’s
private sector economy.
Laws that help reduce taxes, eliminate government
red tape and extend tax
credits for small business
job creation have built a
strong foundation for continued economic growth in
Alabama.
The 2014 legislative session marked the end of one
of the most productive,
pro-business
quadrenniums in the state’s history. Although the federal
government seems intent
on more taxes and more
red tape for small business owners, the Alabama
Legislature
recognizes
that small businesses are
the backbone of the state’s
economy and will contin-
ue working to protect our
pro-business
economic
climate.
A major part of ensuring
economic success in Alabama is making sure we
have an adequate workforce to fill job needs.
The Alabama Future
Workforce Initiative will
provide opportunities for
students across the state
to gain the knowledge and
skills they need to secure
a job, while also providing financial incentives to
ensure these programs are
focused on training the
workers needed to continue to grow Alabama’s
economy.
Similarly,
creating
the Alabama Workforce
Council, a top priority of
Gov. Robert Bentley, will
help organize and coordinate the workforce development efforts in the state
in order to make sure our

per month to $2,500 per
month. The proposal will
allow 4,000 to 6,000 small
businesses to remit sales
tax payments after collecting sales revenues instead
of fronting the estimated
payment to the government as required by current
law and will provide small
businesses with an immediate, one-time tax savings
of up to $2,500 this year,
which would result in an
approximate $4.6 million
into Alabama’s economy.
The
Business
Tax
Streamlining Act gives
businesses two additional
options for filing their
business personal property
returns that will simplify
the process. The options
include a centralized online filing system and a
shortened tax form. Previously, business owners
had to individually file
these taxes in each county
where they did business,
and had to fill out long
forms that often cost much
more time and resources
than the actual tax payment itself.
Alabama’s “Crowdfunding” Law will create additional opportunities for entrepreneurs to raise capital
for starting a small business, a significant prospect
since more traditional financing options are limited in the current economic
climate.
Last but not least, the
COMMUNITY FAMILY RESPECT
HONOR TRADITION MEMORY
students are adequately
prepared to fulfill the
state’s most pressing job
needs.
Additional laws passed
in 2014 that will assist
small businesses include
the Small Business Tax
Relief Act. This law will
increase the sales tax
threshold at which businesses must begin making estimated state sales
tax payments from $1,000
Tax Elimination Act gives
the Alabama Department
of Revenue the authority
to suspend taxes and fees
when the cost of collecting such taxes and fees
exceeds the amount of
revenue brought in by the
tax or fee.

Huskies eliminated in second round by Mountain Brook
by Gary Lloyd and Erik Harris
After watching his team fall in
the second round of the Class 6A
state baseball playoffs to Mountain Brook, Hewitt-Trussville
head coach Jeff Mauldin’s message was simple: life goes on.
He had just witnessed his Huskies come up short in a decisive
third game, 3-2, yet the veteran
coach praised his team, his seniors and his friend on the other
side of the chalk — Mountain
Brook head coach Lee Gann.
“(Gann’s) probably one of my
closest friends in the head coaching business,” Mauldin said.
“Unbelievable respect for the
guy, he’s like a brother to me.
I’m happy for him and his program, he deserves this and I hope
they go win it all.”
The two coaches lived together
for two years in Missouri before
eventually becoming standardsetters in the Alabama high
school baseball community. Both
coaches fielded a tough lineup
Saturday, but in the end, Mountain Brook had a little more to
offer.
Pete Berryman’s sacrifice
liner into center field in the second inning, followed by J.D.
Kubiszyn’s RBI infield single in
the third gave the hosts a 2-0 advantage early.
That score would stand until
the top of the fifth when HwittTrussville senior left fielder DeMarcus Kelly powered an RBI
triple into deep right field. The
ball nearly left the ballpark and
was good enough to send junior
shortstop Carter Pharis from first
to home. Kelly was then plated
by a Cyle Moore liner back up
the middle, which evened the
score at 2-2 going into the bottom of the fifth.
Senior Reid Gunter went 4
2/3 innings for the Huskies. The
righty surrendered two runs,
struck out four and walked a pair.
Senior Michael Busby took the
ball from there, striking out two
with no walks.
Mountain Brook didn’t flinch

against Mountain Brook.
after surrendering the two-run
inning. The Spartans quickly reclaimed the lead in the bottomhalf of the fifth. Kubiszyn found
his second RBI of the afternoon
with a two-out shot that landed
in center field and scored Drew
Odum for the go-ahead, gamewinner.
“One game does not define
their season,” Mauldin said of
his team. “What I hope they do is
learn, handle adversity and find a
way to succeed. You want them
to be awesome dads, awesome
husbands and have great jobs.
The sun will come up tomorrow.”
Hewitt-Trussville took Game 1
of the series 15-3 in five innings.
Senior right fielder Riley Stokes
was 4-for-4 with four runs batted
in. He scored two runs. Kelly was
2-for-3 with two RBIs. Moore
and Alec Talley each had two hits
and an RBI. Blake Bailey earned
the win, pitching five innings and
allowing four hits and three runs.
Mountain Brook (28-12) won
Game 2, 5-1. Alan Hale earned
the win, pitching five innings and
allowing one run on four hits.
He struck out five. For HewittTrussville, Talley took the loss.
He allowed three hits and two
earned runs in six innings. He
struck out eight batters. The Huskies’ lone run came on a fifth-inning double by Pharis that scored
Zac Thomas.
The Huskies will return five
starters to next year’s roster.
Mauldin is now 65-23 in two
seasons as the Hewitt-Trussville
head coach.
