Former pastor pleads guilty in child porn case

PRATTVILLE, AL (WSFA) - Clyde David Myers, a former pastor at Prattville Community Church, pleaded guilty Wednesday to two counts of possession of obscene matter.

Myers was arrested in September 2011 after the materials were found on his home computer and on a computer in the church's office.

He was sentenced at the Autauga County Courthouse to 120 months in jail for each count  of possession of obscene matter. The sentence will be served consecutively, meaning Myers will spend a total of 20 years in jail. 

Myers will also have to register as a sex offender.

The former pastor of Prattville Community Church was arrested last year after obscene materials were found on his home computer and on a computer in the church office.

Huntingdon baseball misses out on NCAA Regional bid

The NCAA Division III Baseball Committee released the field of teams chosen for the 2012 postseason on Monday. Despite winning 30 games and winning the Great South Athletic Conference championship, Huntingdon was not one of the 56 teams selected to play in a Regional.

The Hawks end the season with a 30-12 record.

“It’s disappointing for all of us,” Huntingdon athletic director Buzz Phillips said. “Head coach D.J. Conville and his staff prepared this team and these players worked hard to win 30 games against a challenging schedule.

“We’re proud of them for winning the conference championship. Unfortunately, when your conference doesn’t have an automatic qualifier into the playoffs, this can happen. That’s one of the many reasons we’re excited to be joining the USA South.

The Alabama Department of Public Health urges awareness of hepatitis during May

One in every 10 Americans is affected by some form of liver disease. The liver, the largest organ in the body after the skin, is essential for survival. If the liver is not working properly, a person can become very sick and can even die.

The Alabama Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urge the public to learn the risk factors of viral hepatitis. The month of May has been designated as Hepatitis Awareness Month, and May 19 is the first national observance of Hepatitis Testing Day.

The word "hepatitis" means inflammation of the liver. Toxins, certain drugs, some diseases, heavy alcohol use, and bacterial and viral infections can all cause hepatitis. Hepatitis is also the name of a family of viral infections that affect the liver.
