I am writing to express my concerns about the proposed legislation to add more required PE time to our public school days. I fear that adding this requirement will make it even harder for our students to have time for their academic efforts and also take advantage of worthwhile electives. My child is a member of the band and I believe that activity is also healthy, wholesome, and educational. Band offers opportunities that can’t be substituted by additional PE time and I want my child to be able to enjoy those benefits. I am therefore urging you to please work to defeat House Bill 83 when it come to a vote.
Thank you for your support,
Signed
Mr. or Mrs. Concerned Band Parent
I don’t want to be an alarmist about this…. but this is not going away and must be addressed. You must take immediate action to defeat this bill!

I am in the process of researching a highway that ran
through Gurley beginning in 1919. It was called the Dixie
Lee Highway and ran from Kimball, TN through
north Alabama and on to Memphis, TN. From Paint Rock, it
crossed the railroad tracks where Jackson County Rd 65 and
72 meet, then it ran parallel to the tracks, on the north
side of the tracks, toward Gurley. If you look between the county line and co rd 65, you can still see the power line poles that were erected alongside this road. The road would have been between the powerlines and the train tracks. This highway is now just a dirt farm road in this area but in other areas of Jackson County, it is still being used. The Dixie Lee Highway was replaced in the 1930's with Robert E. Lee Highway/72. The road came into Gurley onto what is now Railroad Street and then crossed the tracks on Section Line Road and continued on Little Cove Road on its way to join Old 431 in Big Cove and on into Huntsville. If you travel east on Railroad Street today until the pavement ends, you can see a culvert built for this highway. I am still researching this and just wanted to share with you. If you have any other information on this, please feel free to let me know! |
