Mayor’s Letter
Dear Friends,
When I start to feel the chill in the air
and hear the sound of the fans at the
football game, I know the long hot days
of summer are over and fall is finally here.
During the fall we have the opportunity to
get together to support our favorite teams,
build friendships and come together as a
community. Congratulations to our PHS
Varsity Football Team in their victory over
Thompson. It is great to have the trophy
in Pelham for another year. Good luck the
Mayor Don Murphy
remainder of the 2012 season.
I would like to remind everyone about the municipal runoff election for City
Council Place 4 on Tuesday, October 9th. Voting will be held at the Pelham
Civic Complex. This is an important election for our city and I encourage
everyone to vote.
As our city looks to the future, I am pleased to announce that after three and
half years our HWY 261 Corridor Mitigation Grant is awaiting final approval in
Washington. This grant will allow us to address the flooding issues along the
HWY 261 corridor. We continue waiting for final approval on our community
storm shelters grant.
I have formed a committee to work on the Moore-Handley/Summer
Classics project. I look forward to seeing this project come to fruition. The
aesthetics of HWY 31 will certainly be enhanced by the addition of Summer
Classics.
The council recently passed a resolution accepting the bid for upgrades to
Lift Station M. This lift station is located in the City Park and serves several
neighborhoods and businesses in the area. These upgrades will offer better
service to our sewer customers.
At the end of this month, our children will celebrate Halloween. Please take
extra caution as you drive through the neighborhoods on this fun evening.
Please join our school choirs, bands and Santa at our Annual Christmas
Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Pelham Civic Center on November 26th. There
will be ice performances, cookies and carols to start your holiday season. The
Beautification Board will be on hand with this year’s ornament to add to your
collection.
Please continue to keep our service people in your thoughts and prayers.
May God continue to bless you and your families and the City of Pelham.
Kindest regards,
Don Murphy

Pint-Sized Penny
Pincher starts
His Own Business
Brannon McKinley looks like an ordinary eleven-year-old, but Brannon
McKinley has done something that not many children his age have done. He
has started his own business! Brannon’s business is called The Knot Shoppe
and he makes paracord bracelets and key chains. He got started as an entrepreneur just last year when he rented a booth at Valley Elementary School’s Fall
Festival. Brannon did so well with the booth that he started his own business.
He provides the bracelets and key chains to organizations for fund raising purposes. He has assisted school band programs and is currently providing the
merchandise to Covington Cross Country for their fundraising. Last spring he
helped raise $600 to assist the family of a local youth who was injured when he
was struck by an automobile. According to Brannon’s mom, he has always had
an interest in ways to make money. He has sold lemonade and managed yard
sales to assist in relief efforts for an orphanage in Bangladesh. Brannon wants
to be an engineer because he is interested in math and science and how things
work. Ultimately, he would like to start his own engineering company. When
asked what he has learned from running his own business, Brannon said, “I

the development of good financial habits in children. Brannon McKinley and
his business, The Knot Shoppe, is an excellent example of financial literacy
and good money management skills.
9/11 firefighter memorial stair climb
Harrison Kahrig, a Pelham Fire Explorer, joined well over 200 stair-climbers
in Montgomery to show his respect for fallen firefighters. The nationwide
event, sponsored by the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation, is called the
9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. “I knew right from the start of hearing about it
that I wanted to do it,” said Harrison. He was joined by Pelham firefighters
Ricky King, Billy Earnest, Greg O’Connor, Buddy Ingleright, Pete Gonzalez and
Everett Hazen. The Pelham Fire Explorers who participated were Jacob King,

have learned how to save and how to spend wisely.” He has also learned what
the word profit means. His advice to other children who want to be entrepreneurs is “to save a little to start your business and just go from there.”
During the past year, the Pelham Public Library has hosted a series of
events and programs as part of their Smart investing@your library grant. This
grant program is a partnership between the American Library Association and
the FINRA Investor Education Foundation who award grants to encourage financial literacy. As part of the Smart investing@your library grant, the Pelham
Public Library developed a program entitled "Pint-Sized Penny Pinchers." Local children ages 5-18 are highlighted as Pint-Sized Penny Pinchers if they
have done something that exemplifies good money management skills. Several events have been hosted by the library during the past year to encourage

Harrison Karhig, Chandler Rockett, Solomon Earnest, Bryan Gonzalez, Zach
Reese, Jonathan Rochester and Clint Nicholson.
For Harrison, it was not just about the challenge of climbing 110 stories, the
number of stories in the World Trade Towers. It was about something so much
more. “First off it is a respect thing. A ton of people sacrificed their lives,”
shared Harrison. The New York Fire Department lost 343 members in the attacks on 9/11. It also played a much deeper part in bringing to reality what he
had only seen on television. “All 9/11 has ever been was a bunch of pictures,
but to put yourself in the shoes of someone who live that...you have to look
at it differently when you go through what they went through,” said Harrison.
As part of the memorial event, each participant was able to climb in honor
of a fallen firefighter. For the Pelham climbers they chose to climb in honor of
Engine 201 (who lost their whole crew that day) and three other area firefighters. Everett Hazen climbed for Pelham firefighter Michael Oliver, Pete Gonzalez
climbed in honor of Pelham Firefighter Jim Wells and Gregg O’Connor climbed
for Pintlala firefighter Billy Poage.
The event took place at the Retirement Service of Alabama building in Mont-
As Mobley signed the deed over to the City of Pelham he said, “Mayor, I want
to give you the deed to this property and thank you for what you have done for
the residents of Ballantrae and the citizens of Pelham.” Mayor Murphy accepted
the deed “on behalf of the people of Pelham.”
The facility is expected to take about a year and half to receive the funds from
FEMA to commence the building phase. This shelter is in addition to the ten
shelters Pelham currently has pending for approval before FEMA.

The five Pelham Participants who climbed all 110 floors Buddy Ingleright, Pete
Gonzalez, Everett Hazen, Chandler Rockett, and Harrison Kahrig
gomery, which has 22 flights of stairs. Harrison was one of five from the Pelham area to climb those flights five times, equaling 110 stories. Joining him
in that feat were Buddy Ingleright, Pete Gonzalez, Everett Hazen and Chandler
Rockett. “I don’t know how I did it honestly. Chandler was doing great and I
didn’t want him to beat me,” exclaimed Harrison. They made the climb in full
turnout gear: boots, pants, jackets and helmets,” said Harrison. One added
item was carried along as well. “We each received a tag with a picture and brief
biography about the fallen firefighter we were climbing in honor of. We clipped
them on us,” he shared.
The highlight of the climb was meeting a relative of the fallen firefighter in
whose honor Harrison was climbing. “He shook my hand, thanking me for
climbing in his brother’s honor,” shared Harrison. For more information about

Ballantrae Land Donated
The Ballantrae community and all of Pelham is one step closer to having topnotch storm protection with the recent donation of land by Ballantrae developer
Steve Mobley. A 600-person storm shelter will be built near Fire Station 5 and
the community pool. The plans call for the shelter to be used as a multi-purpose
building as well and will include additional parking.
The discussion for this donation started over a year ago. “Mayor Murphy approached me about donating a lot approximately a year ago,” said Mobley. “The
mayor has been working towards building a storm shelter, so we came together
today to do a public and private donation,” he added. The lot was chosen to
provide close proximity to the fire station and to the pool to allow dual use for
the new and existing parking. “The fire department will control the access to the
building,” said Mayor Murphy. "The additional parking can be used as overflow
for the pool as well," he stated.

EASTER SEALS, GIving Back
Matt Satterfield just wanted to give back. “I grew up in and out of foster
homes. In college I was awarded a scholarship to attend college. After I
got the scholarship I thought ‘Man how am I going to pay this back,’” he
said. Some years later, Matt started working at Heart of Dixie in Pelham
and he ended up with a mini dirt bike which he built for his nephew. “It
turned out that he was too little for it." He asked himself, "What am I going
to do with it now?” That is when he spoke with Larry Smith, owner of Tyler
Navarre’s Bar and Grill in Pelham. “Larry introduced me to David (Keough)
who asked me to support Easter Seals,” said Matt. “I thought Easter Seals
was about houses. Then I heard they supported kids. That made me excited,” he shared. Matt got right to work. The idea was to sell raffle tickets for the mini
bike. He set a date of September 18th to host the raffle at Tyler Navarre’s.
This gave him three weeks to reach his goal of $800 in donations. “It was
the hardest thing I ever did,” exclaimed Matt. In between working and
organizing the event, he got to work selling tickets for $10 each. Matt
recalled a moment of desperation in trying to reach his goal. “I was at a
charity event asking people to buy raffle tickets,” he noted with irony.
The event would not have come together if it was not for what Matt
calls his family. “I consider these guys here at Heart of Dixie my family,”
he said. Matt received permission to display the bike in the front of the
store while the team members up front sold tickets to travelers who were
passing through. Two close friends from Heart of Dixie pitched in as well.
Steve Rockett and Matt Downs have a two-person band and contributed to
selling tickets and performing on the night of the raffle.
Allison Nichols, Director of Development and Marketing for Easter Seals
of Greater Birmingham, offered her congratulations to Matt and the crew
at Tyler Navarre’s and Heart of Dixie. “I appreciate all the hard work and
dedication everyone put in,” she said.
At the night of the event Matt was still slightly below his goal and so
he just started to work the crowd even more. In the end he raised over
$1,300. David Keough was on hand as a representative from Easter Seals

New President
Debbie Parrott has been elected President for the Pelham Library Guild.
Dick Paxton has been elected Vice-President. During the coming year the
Library Guild will be soliciting donations to continue the $2,500 scholar-
ship awarded annually to a Pelham High School senior, assisting the Pelham Public Library in securing grants and matching funds for equipment,

build a new library. In addition, the Library Guild will continue to encourage
its members to volunteer at the library and assist librarians with shelving
books, cleaning dvds, and unloading the book returns. Thus far, Library
Guild volunteers have contributed over 1,200 volunteer hours of service to
the library. “I believe that everyone is able to serve in some way. It might
not be money but it could be time or ideas. We have room for anyone who
is willing to serve,” said Parrott.
The Pelham Library Guild has a 501-c-3 designation from the IRS
making it a tax exempt organization. With this status the Guild is able
to pursue support through grants awarded from national foundations and

News
unity at Pelham High School
by Mallory Flurry
As you walk down the hallway on a Friday afternoon, there’s a small roar. It
grows louder as you get closer. Before you walk into the gym doors, you can
hear the juniors and seniors yelling, the band playing, and the cheerleaders
chanting. For the first time in two years, pep rallies are back at PHS, and the
excitement is everywhere you look.
I love how even the quietest kids are yelling at the top of their lungs, and
everyone is united as one. I love the competition between the junior and senior
classes. I love being able to wish our players good luck as they walk through
the narrow walkway between the two classes. What I missed the most in our
time without the pep rallies, was everyone coming together to sing our alma
mater. As we wrap our arms around one another to sing our school’s anthem,
we are not many different students, we are one school, united.
As we stand together, as one student body, it is these moments that
students will be able to take with them after they leave Pelham High School.
It is these memories that they will look back on and smile, but not all of them
Riverchase Middle School Cheerleaders
Hardworking Riverchase
Middle School Cheerleaders
The Riverchase Middle School cheerleaders have been working hard since
last spring to prepare for cheering at this year’s sporting events. The 20122013 squad is comprised of 14 girls from the 7th and 8th grades. They
had an amazing summer camp experience led by Tracie Blair from the ACE
Cheer Company. The girls will be busy throughout the school year cheering
for football, volleyball, basketball, and leading the pep rallies. This squad
has the talent and dedication to be the best cheer squad RMS has seen
in a long time. The girls are dedicated to nailing their tumbling and every
motion, stunt, and jump when practicing and performing their routines and
cheering on the Panthers from the sidelines. You are invited to join them in
cheering for the RMS Panthers!

Pelham High School Pep Rally
involve the pep rallies: it is us surviving the halls of Pelham High School
together. Starting from freshman year, running around the hallways, desperate, trying to figure out why the 200 rooms are on the first story or what
classes are on the cross halls; having plywood boards and nails become as
common to our school as pencil and paper; and finally reaching senior year
where suddenly every opportunity to be together with the rest of you class
suddenly becomes a blessing instead of a requirement. Standing together as
one united body reminds me that the seemingly infinite number of days will
soon come to an end, and these are the reasons why not only me, but also
every student, is welcoming back pep rallies, another moment of union, with
open arms.

More than Words
by Sarah Banasiewicz
A literary magazine in a strictly designed academic environment promotes
interdisciplinary studies and cross-circular involvement. Producing the magazine itself encourages the elected student body to take responsibility of designing, organizing, and promoting the magazine and accountability for their share
of the workload. A literary magazine should be a safe venue for the artist and
writers in the community to showcase their talent. At Pelham High School, the
literary magazine, More than Words, has not only created such a venue for
the Pelham community but has also preserved the students’ talents in a sweet
harmony of layout, artwork, and writing.
Every great triumph is born from passion in a person who has the ability to
ignite the same passion in others. This passion is mixed with sweat to conquer the obstacles that are built in our way. The Pelham High School literary
magazine is the product of passion and sweat. It has become a routine for
submission boxes to go to the art room and English classes in the beginning
of the year and staff members checking them every other week. In February,
the auditorium lobby is transformed into a coffee shop. The actual auditorium
houses the guest and performers who arrive for a two hour function that normally last three hours.
March through May, the staff members of the literary magazine view all the
submissions and vote for the best work to be published. A theme for the literary magazine is chosen through compromise and tweaking so that all that the
literary magazine can encompass all the works selected by the staff members.
Page layouts are assigned and staff members combine the artwork with the
writing so that one can illustrate the other but never to overshadow the other.
Connie Nolen, the literary magazine sponsor, has envisioned a venue for
artist and writers to exhibit their talents and begin their portfolio. Mrs. Nolen
stated that “The mission of the lit mag is to provide a venue for these artists
& celebrating our students' hard work.” The literary magazine staff is encouraged by Mrs. Nolen to appreciate the artist’s work. For example, one of Mrs.
Nolan’s famous critics is “No words on pictures.” In other words, the picture
should not be hidden by the text and the picture should not distract the reader
from the text. It seems that where the literary magazine is today in 2012 and
where it began seems almost mirror opposites of each other.
In 2011, the Pelham High School achieved the highest honor at the Alabama Scholastic Press Association by winning “All-Alabama” and collected
over ten more awards in both writing and art work. And in 2012, for the first
time ever, More than Words won for best cover art and collected over fifteen
more awards in photography art and poetry. The 2013 literary magazine has
the challenge of surpassing what has come before it and creating a product
that will continue on the legacy of greatness and victory.

Evaluating Your Garden
With cooler weather and shorter days fast approaching, October is
the perfect time to spend hours outside in the pleasant environment of
your garden. Walk around your yard and take stock of the condition of
your lawn, your trees, shrubs and flowers. Keep a gardening journal if
that helps you. Take notes on what worked: Did a plant thrive, bloom,
increase in size? Also take notes on what didn’t work: Did a plant wilt or die
prematurely, stay small and yellow? Try to assess the reasons behind your
successes and failures: Did I fertilize enough/too much; did it have enough
room and sun/shade to grow?
Not all assessments can be conducted visually. If a minimum of 6 weeks
has passed since your last lawn or bedding fertilization and you did not
conduct a soil test in the spring, a post growing season test will help you
define where you need to tweak your fertilization regimen. A soil test is
recommended to determine what, if any, amendments need to be added
to adjust pH levels. Soil sample testing kits contain boxes for the sample,
instructions for taking a proper sample, and information for shipping and
paying. Different soil samples are recommended for your lawn and your
planting beds, so multiple kits may be necessary. Test kits are available from
your county extension office or garden center.
While strolling through your garden, note where you have gaps in your
beds that can be filled immediately with perennials, cool season annuals or
herbs. As trees and shrubs grow, sunny and shady spots may move, shrink
or enlarge, requiring some plants to be moved to more suitable habitats.
October is one of the best times to divide and transplant perennials and
bulbs. Roots have time to get established before the plant starts spending
vast amounts of energy on growing leaves and blooms. Take advantage of
the cooler weather to enjoy and nurture your garden throughout the seasons.
For more information on home gardening, check out the Alabama
Cooperative Extension Service’s website at www.aces.edu or call the Master
Gardener Hotline at 877-252-GROW (4769).

Tom & Carole Davidson
Southern Golf
145 King Valley Drive
2613 Pelham Parkway
Tom and Carole Davidson are no strangers to the Pelham community. “I moved here in 1974 from Hueytown,” said Tom. After buying
his current home in 1979, he is very pleased to have won the beautification award. “We work quite hard on our yard,” he adds. As is often
the case, it is a team effort to manage such a large yard. “We do it
together. My wife has put in a lot of the flowers around the yard,” said
Tom. He continues to list his helpers. “Our grandkids help us. They
help pick up the limbs and such after the storms. They all help and
have helped over the years,” he said referring to his grown children,
grandchildren and great grandchildren.
One of the biggest challenges for Tom and Carole have been finding
grass that will grow under the shade of his large Water Oaks trees.
“They spread very big and far,” he said. To combat those bare spots
Tom has slowly switched to Saint Augustine Grass in the front yard,
which according to Tom grows well in the shade. A while back they
removed many of the shrubs, built and expanded a patio area, and
even added a playhouse for the grandkids. “They helped me build it,”
he shared with a big grin. Tom plans to continue to change over the
back yard grass to Saint Augustine grass. “I’ll have to sod it to make
it do right,” he said.
Tom is no stranger to the Pelham community. “I helped start the
youth football program. We developed it along with Mayor Yeager and
Mayor Hayes,” he said. Tom recalled how he got involved with the
youth sports programs. “I asked Mayor Yeager, ‘Why don’t we have
a youth sports program?’ And he said to me, ‘Why don’t you start
one!’” he said. He proudly states that it was the first program in the
Southeast that had a play rule which required any child that participated in practice to have a chance to play during a game.
Tom retired from US Steel about ten years ago. Since his retirement, his focus has been on giving back. “Presently, I drive a special
needs bus for Shelby County. It keeps me kind of involved with the
youth in the community,” he said. “That is what I wanted to do when I
retired, to give back,” he said. He quickly reflects on that statement by
adding, “And you know you never can do wrong when you do that.”
Jason Blankenship and Lorne MacWilliam have been the proprietors
of Southern Golf for 13 years now. They have been in their current
location for over a year now. “We moved in here March 1st of last year,
2011,” said Blankenship. The were previously located in the Pelham
Promenade Center just south of their current location.
The grounds were inherited from the previous tenant. “The landscaping
has been this way forever. We have just tried to keep it clean and neat,”
said Blankenship. Instead of working the landscaping themselves they
have outsourced the work. “We hired out some guys to keep up the yard,
Dallas and Dusty Downs,” he said. The yard showcases neatly trimmed
hedges, tall and well maintained Crepe Myrtles and clean cut grass.
Their business has expanded over the years especially with the
move to the new location. “We have 18-hole putt-putt and nine-hole
kids course. We have four batting cages with softball or baseball
pitched at different speeds,” shared Blankenship. “It goes from
kids on t-ball teams all the way up to adult league players and coed teams,” he added. Their business also focuses on custom clubs
and repair work for golf clubs. “We do repair work and private club
fittings,” he said.
Jason and his business partner are pleased to be winners of the
monthly award and believe that having well maintained grounds have
contributed to the success of their business. “Having a presentable
place attracts business,” said Blankenship.
