PropertyCasualty360.com indicates that
Hurricane Matthew, hitting the Atlantic
Coast in October, is being projected to
cost insurers as much as $8.8B with
losses in the United States ranging from
$2.2B to $6.8B of that figure.

Kidnap & Ransom Coverage: As
reported in the Oct 2016 issue of
National Underwriter, there are
estimated to be 5,000 - 10,000
kidnappings per year globally. Near
home, 10 of these occur each
month in Mexico. Those alone
result in an average captivity of 30
days with an average settlement of
$200,000 before the captive is
released. Do you have coverage?
Truitt's David Ousley (on the left) did a
little shark-fishing Oct 8th with some old
Banks High School buddies. They seem
to have had a little luck on the trip.
OK, not the best picture but that is
Garth Brooks as a surprise guest at
the Ryman for the Grand Ole Opry
this November. Tony Truitt was
chaperoning a Pizitz Middle School
Choir Trip and was super-glad he
went along when this went down.
Our Sue Harter, pictured with her
daughter Amy & grand-daughter
Cayla this October at the Susan B.
Komen Breast Cancer Awareness
Walk, has participated in the event for
the past 15 years. This is just one of
the many reasons we love Sue.

Congratulations to Frankie

recently signing a scholly with
the University of North
Alabama. The Lions are
definitely getting a good one.
A group of scientists want to
reintroduce cougars into the New
Jersey area ecosystem in an attempt
to curb an ever-growing deer
population in the suburbs. With over
1,000,000 vehicle crashes nationally
being caused by deer each year, the
scientists suggest the cougars are a
natural predator that once thrived in
the area. They believe just one of
these big cats could possibly
eliminate up to 183 deer each year.
They readily admit some humans and
pets could be lost if this were to
happen but they seem to be ok for
people to risk it.
Now, I have put some quick, non-
scientific thought to this. I am of the
opinion that if needed, we could load
up a bus of good ole boys from our
neck of the woods that would
decimate that deer population in
short order freeing up these
scientists for other concerns.
Time zones were initially created
in the continental United States on
November 18, 1883 by the large
railroad companies to establish a
more reliable train schedule. Prior
to that, each town had its own
time-standard which resulted in
over 300 local sun times.
International acceptance of time
zones happened in 1894.
JHT helping Sam Moore celebrate a
milestone at Sam's surprise 80th
birthday party held at the Trussville
Civic Center December 9th.
