I once heard someone say, "I'd rather be happy than right."  While I can't remember who said it or in what context, it stuck with me.  I've seen too many arguments between people who were both equally convinced they were right and the other person was completely wrong.  Even if one of them happ...

I woke up Friday, still feeling worn out from a very long road trip that saw me crossing into six states outside of Alabama.  I started my day like everyone else I suppose, but it was hectic and busy.  A news alert crossed my phone.  Something about a shooting.  I swiped it away and continued w...

Joe Medley's In My Opinion: So this is what an overexposed freshman looks like

It’s easy to trash Johnny Manziel after the off-season he’s had since becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy. Off-field headlines have many sizing him up as a one-hit wonder. With that in mind, he tweeted Sunday some unspecified “bull----” has him eager to leave College Station, Texas, where his school is based. Then he deleted the tweet and seemed to clarify. “Don’t forget that I love (Texas) A&M with all of my heart, but please please walk a day in my shoes,” he tweeted. The last year in his shoes has, appropriately, been more of a scramble than a walk. He went from not having played a collegiate down to winning the Heisman in less than four months and did it in the social-media era. The kid who could appear in public with little fanfare a year ago steps out and into twitpic hell, exposed flaws and all. No telling how many of his nearly 367,000 Twitter followers he walks by daily. Consider that Alabama’s AJ McCarron and Katherine Webb have 420,126 combined followers, and Manziel has more than twice McCarron’s 159,337. Alabama coach Nick Saban stands more validated than ever in limiting the public exposure of his freshmen. Contact Sports Columnist Joe Medley at jmedley@annistonstar.com.

One of Anniston's big cycling dreams is for bicycle tourists to take advantage of the city's Amtrak stop, either to enjoy the Ladiga Trail or ride Coldwater Mountain.

The problem is only a few Amtrak routes allow passengers to bring their bicycles on board unless they are boxed up like luggage.

This report, however, finds "Amtrak is seeing increased demand for walk-on bike service across the United States."

The good news for Anniston and bike tourism is, "Steve Kulm, a spokesman for Amtrak, said the agency is looking for opportunities to retrofit train cars to allow more convenient bike transport."

Anniston police were investigating this morning a forged check for more than $1,000 cashed at a local credit union Tuesday afternoon. Anniston police Capt. Allen George said a suspect cashed a check for $1,675 from a physician’s office in Gadsden at the Alabama Teachers Credit Union on U.S. 431. The check was cashed Tuesday between at around 3 p.m., according to a police report. George said the doctor’s office later called the credit union and told them the check was forged. The doctor’s office told police that a check was never written to the suspect, George said, and that the suspect does not work at the office. George said police were reviewing the credit union’s surveillance today. A suspect could be charged with felony second-degree possession of a forged instrument.
