Cochlear implant opens whole new world for Norwin student

Aquillo, a special education teacher at Gateway High School in Monroeville. Principal Heather Newell said Downey's program gave the students a greater sensitivity towards those with hearing loss. “Mark's demonstration of being a speaker, leader and advocate was so valuable for the students to see,” Newell said.

Our goal is to provide substantive commentary for a general readership. By screening submissions, we provide a space where readers can share intelligent and informed commentary that enhances the quality of our news and information. While most comments will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive, moderating decisions are subjective. We will make them as carefully and consistently as we can. Because of the volume of reader comments, we cannot review individual moderation decisions with readers. We value thoughtful comments representing a range of views that make their point quickly and politely. We make an effort to protect discussions from repeated comments â?? either by the same reader or different readers. We follow the same standards for taste as the daily newspaper. A few things we won't tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Don't include URLs to Web sites. We do not edit comments. They are either approved or deleted. We reserve the right to edit a comment that is quoted or excerpted in an article. In this case, we may fix spelling and punctuation. We welcome strong opinions and criticism of our work, but we don't want comments to become bogged down with discussions of our policies and we will moderate accordingly. We appreciate it when readers and people quoted in articles or blog posts point out errors of fact or emphasis and will investigate all assertions. But these suggestions should be sent via e-mail. To avoid distracting other readers, we won't publish comments that suggest a correction. Instead, corrections will be made in a blog post or in an article. (Tribune-Review)

A poor connection to modern life

Internet. But Lower Peach Tree sits on the other side of the Alabama River, AT&T's territory, and is reachable from Monroeville - the county seat - only by intermittent ferry service or a looping, one-hour drive. Many who live in Lower Peach Tree work as loggers or truck drivers. The town of fewer than 1,000 residents has no restaurants or gas stations. As one enters Lower Peach Tree, thick trees and ramshackle homes line the road, and but for an occasional flicker, cellphone service dies off. Only about one-third of students at Monroe Intermediate have Internet at home; to get even that, their families subscribe to a satellite-based service that malfunctions during bad weather. During his one-hour morning route along the community's snaking red dirt roads, the school's bus driver, Raymond McConnell, doesn't even bother carrying a cellphone. "If there's some kind of accident," he said, "I'm just supposed to go up to the closest house and ask to use a land line. That's what my boss told me." Educators say that rural areas, with limited curriculums and resources, in particular could benefit from digital advances that allow students to reach far beyond their towns. Spanish classes could Skype with students in Mexico City. Advanced students could take high school classes remotely. The problem is that such small towns also provide a limited pool of customers for any company thinking about making an investment. Monroe Intermediate "is a really, really small school in a precarious area," said Jerome Browning, a coordinator at Alabama's Department of Education. "It doesn't make any sense for vendors to come to that area." The copper lines that run to the Lower Peach Tree school were placed in the ground in the late 1990s by BellSouth, a company that merged with AT&T in 2006. Since then, the district has encountered a problem facing other rural schools: There is little competition to provide services. Some 7 percent of schools nationwide fail to find bidders when looking to upgrade Internet - according to the Consortium for School Networking, a Washington-based group that advocates for technology in the classroom - and in the case of Monroe...

Alabama is no stranger to sex scandals. It just never expected one from this guy.

Bentley to Goober and Gomer Pyle, small-town unsophisticates in the long-ago television series set in the South. Mark Childress, the novelist from Monroeville and author of “Crazy in Alabama,” independently suggested the milquetoast shop owner Sam Drucker in “Petticoat Junction.” “He was a just good, moral person,” said Morrow, the Democratic representative, “decent, likable, very low key. He and his wife, Dianne, they were good people.” [The inside story of how Bentley’s sex scandal broke wide open] Collier and Bentley held similar political views and became close friends over eight years together in the legislature, in a father-son sort of way, Collier said in a news conference after he was fired. They and their wives often had dinner after political conferences. When Collier’s father died after years of mental illness and dementia, he and Bentley prayed together. When Bentley won an upset bid for governor in 2010, part of his appeal was the straight-arrow family man (notwithstanding him legally changing his name so that Dr. was right there on the ballot). Well-off but not wealthy, he lived simply and tended to dress in khakis. He made his pledge to f...

At schools with sub-par Internet, kids face a poor connection with modern life

Internet. But Lower Peach Tree sits on the other side of the Alabama River, AT&T’s territory, and is reachable from Monroeville — the county seat — only by intermittent ferry service or a looping, one-hour drive. Many who live in Lower Peach Tree work as loggers or truck drivers. The town of fewer than 1,000 residents has no restaurants or gas stations.

Only about one-third of students at Monroe Intermediate have Internet at home; to get even that, their families subscribe to a satellite-based service that malfunctions during bad weather. During his one-hour morning route along the community’s snaking red dirt roads, the school’s bus driver, Raymond McConnell, doesn’t even bother carrying a cellphone. “If there’s some kind of accident,” he said, “I’m just supposed to go up to the closest house and ask to use a land line. That’s what my boss told me.” Educators say that rural areas, with limited curriculums and resources, in particular could benefit from digital advances that allow students to reach far beyond their towns.

Some 7 percent of schools nationwide fail to find bidders when looking to upgrade Internet — according to the Consortium for School Networking, a Washington-based group that advocates for technology in the classroom — and in the case of Monroe Intermediate, district officials had no choice but to deal with the one company operating in that area: AT&T. Beginning in 2014, Barnes said she grew frustrated enough with AT&T’s reluctance to wire Monroe Intermediate that she tried to contact a senior decision-maker. She was passed around from one contact to another, she said, and left “15 to 20” voice mails with four or five people. She also, for months, exchanged e-mails in which AT&T officials sound encouraging but don’t follow up. Barnes, in one e-mail, said she was looking to find “the best solution for the most rural school in Alabama.” “I can begin to take a look at capacity in the area,” one AT&T account manager wrote. The district’s request was complicated. It needed AT&T to cooperate with the neighboring telecom company, Frontier. If AT&T was to build new...
