Anticipation is on the face of Lisa Brown as she is about to be hit with a pie thrown by one of her students, Desiree Ward. Students in Lisa Brown's class at Clanton Intermediate School have worked extremely hard on their conduct and academics since returning from Spring Break the first week of April. "We were practicing for the Alabama Reading and Math Test," Brown said. "Everyone was encouraged to do their very best on the test and also have good behavior." As an incentive for the students to try hard and excel, Brown told her class they could throw a pie at her face if they cooperated in class. The students were given tallies against them if they did something wrong in class. "They could not receive five or more tallies," she said. "If they did, they were unable to throw a pie." Good behavior, attendance, and doing their best on their work kept students from receiving a tally against them. A total of ten students were rewarded on Friday, May 18 and allowed to throw a whipped cream pie in the face of their teacher.

WHEN IT IS ALWAYS
"THE MONEY!" WE LOSE!

ONE of the things about our government that goes against the grain of anyone wanting a more perfect form of governing -- both State and national -- is the existence of political lobbyists in our State Capitol and our nation's Capitol, and the selection processes that go into this unseemly industry.

We know -- there are people who will swear by lobbyists and the concept, and they are able to quote you chapter and verse where they have seen lobbying at work for the good of
some specific and special "good" cause.

You would have to come from another planet to doubt that as a significant point of fact. You also can't deny that it is selfish!
