The Hueytown City Council unanimously passed ordinances tonight to participate in upcoming state tax holidays for severe weather items and school supplies.

They sent up their canvas tents and lit a fire in the lantern that sat on a rickety wooden table someone had brought along.

James Kendrick, a former Birmingham police officer, was sentenced July 13, 2011, in Birmingham, Al., to 12 years by Judge Tommy Nail, for the November 2009 drunk driving killing of Derric Rush.

Officers from Hueytown and Pleasant Grove had their bust of a heroin dealer in Birmingham's Wylam community interrupted this week when several of the drug dealers' customers, including one pregnant woman, stopped by the house to purchase drugs.

The Hueytown City Council had the first reading tonight of an ordinance which will allow the city to take part in the state's annual sales tax holiday in August.
