Governor Ivey proclaims March 30 Doctors Day in Alabama


Governor Kay Ivey has proclaimed Alabama Doctors Day on March 30, calling on residents to express appreciation for the state’s physicians.

A proclamation issued by the Governor notes that approximately 13,000 physicians are licensed to practice medicine in Alabama and highlights the doctor-patient relationship as “the foundation of high-quality healthcare.”

“Alabama’s physicians are honored to serve our fellow citizens during some of the most critical moments of their lives,” said Dr. Mark LeQuire, President of the Medical Association of the State of Alabama. “Being a physician is a calling to help and heal people.”

Dr. Max Rogers, Chairman of the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners, also expressed gratitude for the recognition.

The Medical Association of the State of Alabama and the Alabama Board of Medical Examiners both expressed gratitude to the Governor for the proclamation.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach




Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.

Petition calls on State of Alabama to fund fix for Prichard sewer system after spills


Sewage overflows during storms in Prichard are sending wastewater into local waterways that feed Mobile Bay, prompting an environmental group to push for state funding to upgrade aging infrastructure.

Mobile Baykeeper says sewage overflows during storms flow into Three Mile Creek, then into the Mobile River, and ultimately end up in Mobile Bay. The group said that last week, during heavy rain, more than 256,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Gum Tree Branch and Three Mile Creek.

Mobile Baykeeper has launched a petition seeking funding from the state of Alabama to fix Prichard’s old water infrastructure.
