Here’s what’s going on this Tuesday, February 7…

Commission president disputes sewer proceeds. Jefferson County Commission President David Carrington said that the county is holding out portions of sewer system revenues needed for legal fees and capital expenditures. Carrington said the holdout falls under necessary expenses allowed to be withheld under federal bankruptcy laws, while the trustee for the system’s creditors wants those expenses to be paid out of the county’s general fund. The trustee filed a legal motion last week to have all net system revenues turned over to bondholders.

Gun-toting student arrested. Jefferson County Sheriff’s deputies took a 15-year-old student at Pinson Valley High School into custody Tuesday, after finding a loaded gun in his book bag. The teen had left the bag behind during a class change, and the bag was turned in to the school office, where administrators found a loaded semi-automatic pistol. The teen is lodged in the county’s Youth Detention facility on charges of possessing a firearm without a license.

Catholic bishops wage war on Obama. Roman Catholic leaders have raised an uproar over federal health regulations approved by President Obama, which would force religious institutions to include contraceptives in their employee health-care coverage. The Catholic Church has long taught against the use of contraceptives, including so-called morning-after pills. “We Catholics will be compelled to either violate our consciences, or to drop health coverage for our employees and suffer the penalties for doing so,” wrote Alexander Sample, the Bishop of Marquette, Mich., in a letter obtained by the British newspaper The Telegraph.

Sports: Attention, David Letterman. Hayden senior guard Krista Stricklin has moved into the top 10 on the state’s ist of all-time points scored in a career. Stricklin reached 3,075 points Monday night as the Wildcats defeated Hueytown in their last regular-season game. She needs 40 more points to reach ninth place, but getting to eighth would mean scoring about 300 more points, an unlikely proposition even if the Wildcats should go to the Class 5A state championship game.

Weather: More of the same. Skies will remain mostly sunny through the work wee, with highs staying in the 50s and nighttime lows in the upper 30s. Temperatures will drop a bit over the weekend.
