Help for Heroes: Free PTSD Relief in Alabama!

Alabama veterans and first responders, listen up! WellStone is offering a FREE shot at relief from PTSD symptoms. It's called a stellate ganglion block (SG, a simple outpatient injection that targets a nerve cluster in your neck. This little procedure has shown some serious promise in calming hyperarousal and other PTSD symptoms.

How Does It Work?

Think of it as a brain reset! Richard James Werschin, a veteran himself, explains the SGB targets the "fight-or-flight" response. "It helps reset the brain. The injection takes about an hour – you'll get some good sleep, and side effects are minimal. I, like many veterans, experienced almost immediate and lasting symptom relief, especially from hypervigilance!"

A Local Solution Goes Statewide

What started small in Cullman, thanks to local VFW leaders and state lawmakers, is now available statewide through WellStone. This program ensures access to this potentially life-changing treatment, complete with follow-up visits to track your progress.

Real Results

WellStone reports some impressive results: after four years of the program, participants show an AVERAGE 60% reduction in PTSD symptoms! Normally, this procedure could cost around $800, but for eligible Alabamians, it's completely covered!

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Veterans or first responders can start with a confidential screening by calling WellStone Cullman’s Access to Care line at 256-255-1020. You'll complete a PTSD scale and clinical assessment, and if you qualify, you'll be scheduled for the injection at Nesbitt Pain Associates in Birmingham.

Cullman Roots, Statewide Reach

This program began in Cullman in 2021, thanks to local VFW leadership and support from area businesses and lawmakers. "If you're a veteran in Alabama, battling PTSD and cannot count to ten while in a stressful situation, please call WellStone,” Werschin urges. “This could be the turning point you didn’t know was possible.”

Swordfish Surprise: How a Billfishing Trip Turned Record-Breaking

The crew of the Trade Desk, a 60-foot Hatteras, set out from Orange Beach for a three-day billfishing adventure. Little did they know, a casual thought about swordfish would soon become an Alabama Saltwater Record Book entry!

The Crew and the Goal

Robert Fritze, his dad Ron, and buddies Harold Wells, Jamie Boyd, Wes Hagler, and Robert Parks planned the trip for marlin and sailfish. "We saw where people were having success," said Fritze, "We headed southwest, thinking about deep-dropping, but it wasn’t the main goal, so we just pushed on.”

Dolphin, Wahoo, and a Spooked Marlin

Near the Delta House platform, the crew found a less-than-productive rip. They continued south, catching dolphin (mahi mahi), a wahoo, and some barracuda. A blue marlin even followed a barracuda to the boat, but vanished.

The Night Bite

As darkness fell, they jigged for tuna and prepped blackfins for bait. Fritze took the first watch, setting out a squid and light setup for swordfish.

Hooked Up!

After a while, the swordfish took the bait. "I grabbed the rod and got in the chair," Robert said. “He was down about 300 feet when he bit. It took about 30 minutes until we saw the fish the first time... Then he came back up, and I saw the bill coming out of the water... My buddy, Harold, said, ‘That’s a tank.’”

The Battle Begins

The fish dove deep, peeling off line. “He peeled drag off for a good bit, and then it was a slow, steady going away," Fritze recalled. After a grueling 4.5-hour battle, the crew finally had the massive swordfish boat-side.

Mayhem on Deck

Lacking proper gear, they used ropes tied to gaffs to secure the fish. “I got out of the chair and fell down immediately," Fritze said. “We finally got him in, and we were dumbfounded by the fact we actually got him in the boat.”

Heading Back

Without a fish bag, they headed back, facing a storm on the way.

Record Breaker!

A crowd awaited them at Orange Beach Marina. The scale read 550.3 pounds! "I tackled my dad," Fritze said, overwhelmed.

More Fishing!

Instead of celebrating, they refueled and headed back out, catching barrel fish, tilefish, and more dolphin. Jamie even caught his first sailfish.

A Lifetime Fish

"It was the fish of many lifetimes," Fritze said. "Doing it with my dad meant a lot. All we’ve ever done is fish.”

Crawmama's Wins "Bama's Best Surf & Turf"!

Picture this: three judges walk into Crawmama’s, noses twitching at the aroma of fresh seafood and smiles widening at the warm welcome from owner Charlotte Webb. What happened next? They devoured a mouthwatering 14-ounce ribeye topped with grilled Gulf shrimp, all nestled on a bed of rice. The verdict? Bama's Best Surf & Turf!

An Unexpected Victory

Who would've thought a restaurant nestled 350 miles from the Gulf Coast could snag such a title? Charlotte Webb, beaming with pride, shares, "I am so thrilled and appreciative! I don’t serve anything that I wouldn’t serve my family. We try to buy as much as we can in Alabama – it has the best of the best!"

Sweet Grown Alabama Cheers

Crawmama’s victory comes with a cash prize from Sweet Grown Alabama and, of course, serious bragging rights! Aisling Walding, Assistant Director, says they're "so thankful to highlight locally owned restaurants" and especially proud of Charlotte and her team.

More Than Just a Restaurant

Crawmama's is a true family affair! Forty years ago, Charlotte started selling fresh seafood, eventually growing into the beloved 300-seat restaurant it is today. Even after the loss of her daughter, Kathryn, in 2023, Charlotte remains dedicated to carrying on her legacy of love and delicious food.

The Judge's Say

The judges, after sampling the Flavorful Four finalists, were blown away by Crawmama’s. Judge Chelsea Gieselmann raved, "The beef tasted like beef! That’s one of the biggest compliments I can give a kitchen." Shelby Easterling added, "It felt like I was going back into an old steakhouse, even though the rest of the restaurant feels like you’re on the coast! There’s something for everyone at Crawmama’s.”

Family Fun

And speaking of everyone, even the kiddos are happy at Crawmama’s! The Crawbaby Corner, a huge sandbox and play area, lets parents enjoy a date night while the little ones play. As Judge Fred Hunter put it, "That, plus a delicious dinner, sounds like a win to me!"

Congrats, Crawmama's!
