Coyotes a concern in city Horror in Haiti After the earthquake that devastated their country earlier this month, Haitians used doors as stretchers to carry people and hotel bed sheets as bandages. They made wooden splints for broken bones, drinking water was used to wash out wounds, and sofas and lawn chairs were used as cushions. Everything was makeshift because of the lack of proper supplies, said Dennis Shannon, an associate professor in the department of agronomy and soils at Auburn University who was in Haiti on Jan. 12, when a magnitude 7.0 earthquake devastated millions and took the lives of tens of thousands of people. Six AHS Tigers to sign DI scholarships The Auburn High School football team's senior class will be wrapping up their careers as Tigers as the most successful class in AHS history. Bill would allow trustees to meet electronically Auburn University trustees would be allowed to meet by telephone or video conferencing if the Legislature passes bills introduced by Sen. Ted Little and Rep. Mike Hubbard, both of Auburn. The bill requires that notice of meetings be provided in accordance with Alabama's Open Meetings Act, and that the public be allowed to listen to or observe such meetings as they unfold. Cathy Long set to retire from AHS When Dr. Cathy Long was in her first year of teaching at Smiths Station and working on her master's degree at Auburn University, a friend mentioned a job opening at Auburn High School. She wasn't sure about the idea at first, but Long eventually applied and was hired as a teacher soon after.

AU teacher hasn't let a disability slow him down Don't call him handicapped. Don't call him disabled. Just call him a person. A real Auburn Man On Sept. 2, family and friends gathered at the Auburn Memorial Cemetery to celebrate the life of Julian Holmes, an athlete and member of the Auburn University class of 1962. Why is the Ogletree-Wright-Ivey home important? Where North Gay Street dead-ends into Drake Avenue just north of downtown Auburn, a shabby old house is nearly obscured by overgrown trees, the grassless yard packed hard by generations of students. This is the Ogletree-Wright-Ivey house, one of two remaining homes belonging to founders of the city of Auburn and Auburn University. The home, now owned by an Auburn University emeritus professor who lives in Taiwan, recently was named one of Alabama's most endangered historical sites for 2009 by the Alabama Historical Commission and the Alabama Trust for Historic Preservation.
