Gardendale's First Deputy Keeps Watch Over Rural Community
Gardendale's first permanent deputy, Rattan, patrols from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. surveying fields and homes to deter outsiders. He notes locals recognize cars and houses, stops strangers to ask their business, and cites farm equipment thefts as a major concern amid a mix of attorneys, doctors, oilfield workers, and breeders in the area.

Xenon leak at Sequoyah plant prompts evacuations
TVA officials report no radiation release or health risk after xenon gas seeped into a building at the Sequoyah nuclear plant. About a dozen workers were evacuated for two hours due to a partially opened valve in a gas sampling line. This marks the fifth mild radiation exposure since November 21, yet plant operations remained unaffected. In Miami, officials respond to rising crime by arming residents, with guns owned by 18 of 45 officials including Mayor Maurice Ferre.

State Department lifts ban on Iranians visas
The State Department ended the special visa restrictions on Iranians imposed after the 1979 embassy seizure. Consular offices will review Iranian visa requests with scrutiny for terrorists, but visas issued outside Iran before the order remain valid. Iran residents’ visas issued in Iran are revoked, and the embargo on diplomatic ties remains the last sanction.
