One of the best races in this blockbuster election year will be for lieutenant governor. In bygone years, this was a much more powerful position than it is today. For about 50 years, from the 1950s through the 1990s, the lieutenant governor controlled the state Senate. The Constitution gives the power to the state House and state Senate to organize their own bodies. The Senate relinquished this power to the lieutenant governor when the most brilliant parliamentarian in the annals of Alabama legislative history, Jim Allen, became lieutenant governor. The legendary senator Jim Allen of Gadsden became lieutenant governor and...

Tiny spinnerbaits entice action from panfish Most bream anglers dangle a worm or cricket under a float and drop it next to cover. Others use fly tackle, tossing feathery creations or floating wood, cork or foam poppers. Both methods catch bluegills and other assorted bream species. However, people can also catch panfish many other ways. Anglers without fly rods who enjoy more active participation than just waiting for a bobber to disappear might try throwing small baits on an ultralight spinning or spin-casting outfit. The tiniest baits can sometimes yield big rewards. Fishing for bream with ultralight tackle greatly resembles...
