Cancer Rider
December 05 2007
Fred Kelley has pictures of himself with President Bush, Congressman Jo Bonner, and Governor Bob Riley. He's met them mostly because of "Peddlin' for a Cure." He started the fundraiser in 2004 to help Monroeville's Relay for Life...an annual event to raise money by the American Cancer Society. He vowed to ride the 92 miles from Monroeville to the Battleship Alabama in Mobile if $1000 were pledged to Relay for Life. By noon there were $5000 in pledges. The Peddlin' for a Cure ride is held every spring now, and has raised a third of a million dollars...so far.

Heritage Homestead
October 26 2007
James and Joan Malone have a country getaway...kind of. It was built in 1993, but was constructed like country houses from an earlier era...before electricity and running water reached rural Alabama. The style is "dog trot," named for the breezeway that separates the two rooms of the house. Not only does their extended family enjoy the house, but it has become a venue for a major public education program.
