Possible 2 cents tax increase in Pinson
The addition of two cents to Pinson's city tax would put it on par with other municipalities.  The August 27th City Council meeting was standing room only as neighbors and merchants gave their opinions on the tax possible increase. Overall the response was positive to the tax increase. Councilman Joe Cochran' s proposal for Pinson having it's own Police Department is what prompted  the tax increase.  Below is a proposed budget needed to run a police department.

Work Continues on City Park in Pinson

 When the creek rises all types of garbage floats to the surface.

A few of our citizens have picked up the trash along St. John while others continue to litter and leave garbage bags of household waste.  There will always be those who DO and those who DON'T.

Some go as far as depositing their garbage in the creek bed. I saw a bag of garbage on both sides of the creek. Both looked as if they'd been deposited recently.

In a perfect world improper disposal of garbage and litter would not happen. But this is not a perfect world.











If you are interested in forming a group to clean up litter on St. John Rd. periodically, send an email to, heatherpointe@gmail.com

MARCH 2013

Weather Preparedness


The months of March and April are the peak tornado months in Alabama. The second peak is during the latter portion of October and the first part of November. This is not to say a tornado could not come about during any other part of the year as has been evidenced from past weather disasters. Are you prepared ?

Help protect your family against potential weather disasters and emergency situations by compiling an emergency supply kit.

The kit can be assembled over a five-month period on a weekly basis. Help protect your family against potential weather disasters and emergency situations by compiling an emergency supply kit. Perishable items should be changed or replaced every six months. For a list of items you may need click here.
The Dog Might Be Innocent

Most often when seeing garbage strewn about the first thought is that a dog has run amuck. It may not always be a dog or other wild animals. It may be a bird, namely crows.

Crows are naturally curious birds that are quite inventive when it comes to accessing trash cans and bags. The crows tear open the bags looking for food scraps as well as items to build their nests with. Crows will spread the trash out over the ground and make quite a mess in their search. To keep crows out of trash bags, you must use measures to scare the crows away and keep the trash bags properly sealed.
