With this letter, we are providing ample notification to the leadership of the Democratic Party at the state and national level that the burden of providing those certifications by the statutorily set deadline is a requirement that they must meet," said Allen. According to a press release, Allen’s letter cites Alabama code section 17-14-31(b), which states that the parties must certify their candidates “no later than the 82nd day preceding the day fixed for the election.” Because the general election for President and Vice President will be held nationwide on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, the 82nd preceding day would be August 15, 2024, four days before the National Democratic Convention is scheduled to begin. The Office of Secretary of State has published the certification deadline on the official Secretary of State website at sos.alabama.gov since June, 2023. The National Republican Convention will convene on July 15, 2024 and is expected to conclude on July 18, nearly a month before certifications are due to be submitted to Allen’s office. have tried to keep President Donald Trump off election ballots. Well, now there is a possibility that Joe Biden could be left off the State of Alabama ballot this November. Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has notified the Alabama Democratic Party and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) via letter that they must provide a certification of nomination for President and Vice President of the United States no later than August 15, 2024, to appear on Alabama’s general election ballot. “It has recently come to my attention that the Democratic National Convention is currently scheduled to convene on August 19, 2024, which is after the State of Alabama’s statutory deadline for political parties to provide a certificate of nomination for President and Vice President,” Allen wrote in a letter to Randy Kelley, Chair of the Alabama Democratic Party. “If this Office has not received a valid certificate of nomination from the Democratic Party following its convention by the statutory deadline, I will be unable to certify the names of the Democratic Party’s candidates for President and Vice President for ballot preparation for the 2024 general election.” A copy of the letter was also sent to Jaime R. Henderson, Chair of the Democratic National Committee.

Lynn's Ledger Devotional Column By Denise Lynn Pruning is Painful
can be related to people, situations, etc. The first one says that the farmer scatters the seed and a bird quickly snatches them up. It goes on to relate that to a person who has accepted Jesus, but has absolutely no growth yet, no roots, and if they don’t make a conscious effort to grow it will end up being an event in their life with no growth or progression towards a relationship with God. The second example says “Some seeds fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.” So basically the seeds grew some, and they changed from a seed to a plant. But with no real solid foundation, and with no constant watering of the word on Your heart, it will wither away. The third example is the one I want to focus on. It says “Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants.” This is not exactly the same as my planter of weeds, but similar. The farmer planted something good and the weeds were unwanted but came and lived for a season with the plant. But, eventually it choked out the good plant. The plant made it past being just a seed, did the
work to grow, to have a relationship with the creator and it grew real roots. This is similar to how we grow. But life circumstances, the love of wrong things, or wrong people, choke out everything. This could all be avoided with a little pruning. In other words, deciding what’s good and bad in your life is a decision. Pruning can be painful, but pain has a purpose. That purpose is always to glorify the Creator when we turn our trial or testing into a testimony to help others make it to example four in the parable. It says “other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” Who doesn’t want to take their life, with all its trials and troubles, and use it for good to impact a lot of other peoples lives. It becomes a domino effect where the people you impact in turn impact those around them. When we get to Heaven we may find out we have a garden of people waiting to thank us for the impact we had on them. I’m sure we will be hugging some necks of people that impacted us. God created you and you are a beautiful creation, let’s make sure we do something awesome with this life. Do the hard work, do the pruning, water with the word and keep cultivating your faith. Let’s go grow!
I have a pretty cement planter on my back deck that in early February was full of pretty lavender flowers. I assumed they were perennials returning from last year, but I honestly didn’t remember planting any like that. It was full and thick, so I left it. I recently added just one white pansy in the middle. The thought did cross my mind that somehow a pretty flowering weed made its way to my planter, but I’m all for different, so I left it, even pruned it some. When a friend was over I asked, and she confirmed, that it was indeed a pretty weed. Life is like my planter. I didn’t choose the weed, it choose to live there. It’s pretty, God made the weed but the weed is still a weed. They don’t sell weeds in the store, they have no value. That goes against my thinking because everything has value. But, something can be shiny and new and not good for you. Recently, the weeds choked out my pretty white flower and now it’s struggling to survive. If I don’t get rid of the weeds, it will die. This reminds me of my favorite parable in the Bible found in Matthew 13. It tells about the farmer who scatters his seeds. Then it has four examples of what can happen. Those examples

By Brandon K. Pierce Publisher Spring is a busy time of the year for most folks. The weather has improved, lawns are growing, and it seems like there is an event or ballgame of some type almost everyday. The Alabama Ledger and The Sports Ledger attends as many events as possible, although we can't get to everything. With that said, if you have a particular event you want the newspaper to attend please let us know ahead time, or at least be sure to send us pictures and maybe we can include something about in an upcoming print edition. Some of the events we cover never make it in the print edition, but we do our best to include them on one
of our web sites, which are the Alabama Ledger (www.alabamaledger.com) and The Sports Ledger (www.thesportsledger.com). However, during late March and early April, both sites were unaccessible due to issues with our hosting company's servers. We apologize if we failed to post something, or was not able to keep you up to date as usual. We hope to be back up and going soon. Also, it's time for The Sports Ledger's annual Ledger Leader award. This award is given to current high school juniors and it's based on numerous factors such as athletics and GPA. All schools in the newspaper's five county coverage area have already been contacted. We count
on our educational leaders to help with these awards because of the academic and other requirements. Last year there were several local schools that did not help with this project and therefore the eligible students at those schools were not recognized. We hope that all schools will participate this year. Questions about the award can be submitted at alabamaledger@gmail.com. Another project that the newspaper is currently working on is graduation, which will be in next months edition. We hope to share as many senior group Cap and Gown pictures as possible and list of graduates from each area school. Good luck and best wishes to all graduates this coming May!

Dual Enrollment Numbers Increase at Gadsden State The members of the Collinsville High School Class of 2024 recently gathered for a Senior Cap and Gown Group Photo. Most students are in their final full month of high school, as area school's are set to hold graduation ceremonies in May. Collinsville is set to hold its graduation on Friday, May 17, 2024 at the newly opened Donnie Jones Gymnasium. Collinsville High School Class of 2024
Gadsden State Community College’s Dual Enrollment Program reached another milestone during the 2023-24 academic year. The program had 1,867 students enrolled in the program during the fall and spring semesters. This is a 21.4 percent increase over the previous academic year. “We have seen a consistent increase in our numbers as more and more students are realizing the range of benefits to dual enrolling at Gadsden State,” said Tonya Douthitt, coordinator of the Dual Enrollment Program. “Our program not only offers a cost savings, but it also offers academic enrichment and accelerated progress.” The Dual Enrollment Program permits eligible high school students to enroll in Gadsden State courses concurrently with high school classes. Students earn college credit for courses that meet the curriculum requirements of approved high school courses. Students may take courses during the fall, spring or summer semesters. Registration for the upcoming fall and summer semesters is currently open. “We offer an extensive range of course selections that will seamlessly transfer to a four-year university or will continue students on a path to a credential at Gadsden State,” she said. Scholarships are available for up to two classes during the fall semester. The Dual Enrollment scholarship covers tuition, books and supplies. “This scholarship provides a valuable opportunity for students to excel academically and achieve their educational and career goals at an accelerated pace,” Douthitt said. “We have had many students complete the requirements for an associate degree or credential from Gadsden State before high school graduation. They received some of those credits at no cost thanks to the Dual Enrollment Scholarship.”
Cheyenne Balaam-Reed, a senior at Southside High School, enrolled at Gadsden State during her sophomore year. Since then, she has earned credit for six classes: Art Appreciation, Speech, Psychology, History 101, English 101 and English 102. “Taking dual enrollment classes as a high school student is preparing me early for the college class structure and the coursework,” she said. “I’m earning college credits while saving money on tuition and experiencing academic challenges before graduating from high school.” The flexibility offered by the Dual Enrollment Program is also a plus for Balaam-Reed, who stays busy as a competitive dancer, president of the Altrusa Club and member of the Key Club, Leo Club, National Honor Society and Future Business Leaders of America. “Dual-enrollment classes are offered on Gadsden State campuses in a traditional classroom setting but they are also offered online,” she said. “Some high schools offer courses onsite. Students can take most classes in the format that is best for them and their busy schedules.” To be eligible for the Dual Enrollment Program, students must be a high school sophomore, junior or senior. They must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 for academic courses or a 2.0 to enroll in approved career technical programs. Approval is required from parents and a high school official. Students must be enrolled in the following school systems: Calhoun County, Anniston City, Oxford City, Talladega County, Jacksonville City, Piedmont City, Cherokee County, Etowah County, Gadsden City, St. Clair County and Cleburne County. Students enrolled in home school programs or private schools within Gadsden State’s service area are also eligible.
