Former insurance commissioner addresses Impact 2010

Published: Sunday, December 19, 2010, 6:55 AM

ELBERTA, Alabama -- The response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill has helped focus statewide attention on the insurance crisis affecting Mobile and Baldwin counties, former Alabama Insurance Commissioner Walter Bell said.

Bell said the "Roadmap to Resilience" report by the Coastal Recovery Coalition includes recommendations intended to improve insurance coverage and lower rates for residents.

"The BP oil spill was the catalyst to look at this whole thing again and say how can we protect ourselves living here in the Gulf Coast area, because, quite frankly, we’ve got substantial risks and those risks aren’t going to go away," Bell said. "We live with them every day, There’s nothing that’s going to be able to put up a barrier in the Gulf and stop hurricanes from coming onshore. Nothing. It’s been doing that for thousands of years and none of us are going to be able to stop it."

The report was presented to Gov. Bob Riley and Gov.-elect Robert Bentley on Wednesday, he told members of the South Baldwin Chamber of Commerce. Bell spoke at the chamber’s December Impact 2010 luncheon at the Elberta Civic Center.

Bell was Alabama insurance commissioner from 2003 to 2008. Since 2008, he has been the chairman of the Swiss Re America Holding Corp., a major re-insurance company in the area.

Coalition recommendations include improving buildings, increasing competition among insurance companies and making insurance coverage more understandable, he said.

"We’ve got to think about mitigating, adapting and finding competitive enough market forces that can hold the premiums down, finding enough discounts that we can give for the mitigation of property," he said.

Bell said Alabama officials should learn from the responses by Florida and Mississippi after hurricanes Ivan and Katrina and not try to subsidize insurance premiums or coverage. One lesson learned from hurricanes was that when the emergency funds were gone, so is the money to pay for insurance.

"After Hurricane Katrina, (Mississippi) Gov. Haley Barbour got some government money and he put $20 million a year toward some hurricane initiatives and tried to hold premiums down in the wind pool over there," Bell said. "You can’t continue to do that. He said last year ‘I think we can’t continue to do that any more,’ so now there’s going to be premium shock on the folks in Mississippi."

Instead, Alabama officials should use money to provide grants or low-interest loans to home and business owners who are willing to make their property more resistant to storms.

Work such as strengthening buildings will lower payments for insurance companies and premiums for property owners, he said.

Building codes have improved on the coast, but a statewide standard is needed for structures, he said. Inspections should also be improved.

"If the codes are there and people are not getting the roofs tied down or if they’re not putting enough nails in the shingles, they’re just going to blow off anyway," Bell said.

Bell said he met Bentley for the first time Wednesday and felt that the new governor understands the needs of the coastal area.

"He understands the driving force of Mobile and Baldwin County as being more than 20 percent of the tax revenues that go to the state, of being more than a third of the tourism dollars that are generated in the state," Bell said. "Not only that, I found out he’s got a home on Fort Morgan Road so he’s down here. He loves the area, too."

Bell said local support is also needed to put the plan into place.

"I don’t mean Montgomery, I mean the South Baldwin County Chamber, (local political action committee) GUMBO, Foley, Orange Beach, Mobile, Prichard, every other community in this two-county area, has to get behind this, build support for it, put work into it," he said. "This is the beginning. This is certainly not the end."

Bell told chamber members that he owns a condominium on Fort Morgan Road and understands the difficulties faced by property owners needing insurance.

"State Farm dropped me when I was the insurance commissioner for my condo down at the beach," he said. "They were not discriminating against anybody; certainly not me. I think they wanted to make an example of me and they did."

Former Spring Hill College president gives final lecture

Published: Tuesday, November 23, 2010, 6:45 AM

Rev. Greg Lucey, the former president of Spring Hill College, will become president of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. ?(Press-Register file/Mary Hattler)

MOBILE, Ala. -- The Rev. Gregory F. Lucey gave his “Last Lecture” Monday night at Spring Hill College.

In a joking nod to students, faculty and staff, Lucey walked to the podium at Byrne Hall on campus wearing a boat captain’s hat, which drew loud laughter from the crowd.

His annual welcoming address to students, as Spring Hill’s president, Lucey would tell students they would have a “shipwreck” during their next four years in college.

Once behind the podium, the 77-year-old Lucey threw his hat into the crowd at Byrne Hall.

Lucey retired in 2009 after 12 years as Spring Hill’s 37th president.

He has been named president of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities and is moving to Washington, D.C, in January. He will assume his new post June 30.

The idea behind the “Last Lecture” concept, which has become popular at college campuses, is to allow someone to speak one final time before the student body.

A native of Wisconsin and one of seven children, Lucey reflected on his parents during his speech, titled “Honor Your Mother and Father.”

Lucey recalled that in 1973 at age 40, he went into cardiac and pulmonary arrest and thought he was going to die. During his recuperation, he jotted down memories of his parents.

His father was a farmer who eventually operated a general store and a John Deere tractor business.

Lucey said it wasn’t unusual for his father to bring the homeless into their home for a meal or a place to sleep.

“I share my father’s story as a way of thanking him for this wonderful gift he gave me,” Lucey said.

He recalled the day he told his father he was going to become a priest. It was during the Korean War.

“He said, ‘Are you sure you aren’t avoiding the draft because of the Korean War?’” Lucey recalled. His father later said, “There is nothing I would rather have you do.”

Under Lucey’s 12-year-term, the school spent an estimated $100 million on renovation and construction projects.

Former President of jury Ladd Peebles, sold his own store stage clothing

MOBILE, Ala.-Train Ladd Peebles Stadium Chairman Milton Joyner accepted $710 in stadium money in exchange for merchandise from his clothing store, according to financial documents obtained by the Press-Register.

A report made by the city of mobile's auditor, released Tuesday, outlined several other examples of questionable spending at the stadium, including a $3,000 Christmas dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, but it made mention of the clothing deal no..

Barbara Drummond, a city Jakarta, said the city's auditor just discovered the clothing expense Tuesday and hadn haven't had a chance to fully investigate it. She said the auditor's report is only a preliminary finding and that a more detailed report would be forthcoming.

It was not clear from the documents who ordered the clothes.Joyner did not immediately return calls left on his cell phone Tuesday afternoon.

A signed invoice showed that he accepted the money Dec.1, 2009.

"This is to certify that I, Milton Joyner, received a check from Ladd Peebles Stadium in the amount of $710 for Christmas gifts for the Board and staff," the signed document reads.

The invoice was from M J Fashions, a Government Street clothing store that Joyner owned goal that is no longer open.

The check was signed by the stadium's manager, Paul Christopher, who is in charge of signing all checks from the stadium.

The board recently forced Christopher to resign after it was discovered that he himself paid more than $40,000 in overtime between 2008-09.

RSA says overtime may not count

An independent accountant's report shows that the manager of Ladd Peebles Stadium paid himself about $42,000 in overtime over the last two years of his career, but that doesn't necessarily mean he'll benefit from the higher ending salary when he removed, said an official with Retirement Systems of Alabama.

Marc Reynolds, RSA's deputy director, said RSA has the right to dispute retirement claims if investigators see an unusual jump in someone's take-home pay in the final years of his career.

Paul Christopher, stadium manager has a board-approved salary of $65,000, goal earned significantly more over the last two years-$_67,500 in 2008 and $105,300 in 2009.

Prior to that, he never earned overtime, according to the report.

The board, which discovered the overtime this summer, forced Christopher to resign earlier this month, effective March 1, 2011.

Christopher, 68, has worked for the board for more than 20 years, enough time to become vested in RSA's pension plan.

He wasn't haven't fired, so once he resigns he will be eligible to draw on his pension, which is calculated according to the average of his highest three years of pay.

Mobile Mayor Sam Jones and members of the stadium board say they want any unapproved overtime pay to be returned.Also, several officials asked whether Christopher's retirement would be more lucrative because of the extra money.

Reynolds said that he couldn't can't speak about Christopher's specific case because he didn't know the particulars, but RSA's computer system monitors retirement claims for spikes in take-home pay, flagging boxes for further investigation.

Christopher told the board that former chairman Milton Joyner gave him verbal permission to earn the overtime, a claim that Joyner denied.

RSA bases the its retirement number on gross salary, goal that salary must reflect earnings during normal working hours of the employee, Reynolds said. It can include overtime, as long as the overtime is relatively consistent from year to year and a regular part of the employee's duties.

Even if an employ approved a sudden spike in wages, RSA can dispute the new wages in short if necessary, Reynolds said.?

-Robert Hitchcock

Christopher told the board Joyner orally approved overtime, a charge that Joyner vigorously disputed.

Christopher's resignation is effective March 1, 2011.The board said it would allow him to continue in his position until then because the stadium is in the middle of football season, its busiest time of year.

Ladd Peebles Stadium is owned and heavily subsidized by the city, and the stadium is charged with its management board.

The City Council appoints board members.

Board Chairman Earl McKinnell, who took over the position Monday after the board voted to UST Joyner, said he and other board members received gifts of clothing from fellow member Thelma Cooke-Thrash around Christmas.McKinnell said he had no idea the gifts were purchased with money and assumed they were from her stadium.

McKinnell said he wouldn't can't have accepted the gift if he knew where the money to pay for it had come from.

Cooke-Thrash did not return a call left on her cell phone Tuesday afternoon.

The city sent its auditor to look at the stadium's books after the overtime was discovered.

The auditor's preliminary report, which was given to the City Council on Tuesday, outlines a pattern of questionable expenses and spotty accounting practices.

The report noted that the stadium routinely country for alcohol and food without explaining the purpose of the expense.

It offered as an example the 2009 Christmas dinner at Ruth's Chris for 24 people that cost nearly $3,000.

All but one of the board's members, Braxton Counts, attended the party, as did representatives from the Mishkin Group, a sports marketing firm that works with the stadium and operates one of its football games.Several board members also brought their wives.

Gloria Sterling, Mayor Sam Jones' sister, also attended with a date, according to the report.

Sterling has been an ex-officio member of the board and a volunteer since 2007, according to minutes for the meeting in which she was introduced to the rest of the board.

The bill included several bottles of wine costing more than $50 each.The alcohol tab came to $663.

Board member John Thompson, who attended the dinner, cited it as an example of what the board can do without in the future.

Thompson said he and some other board members, including McKinnell, felt uneasy about the extravagance of the event at the time.

McKinnell said the board usually had a Christmas party as opposed to a dinner but decided to change it up in the wake of strenuous negotiations with the Senior Bowl that had left the board feeling drained.

Still, he said, if he had it to do over again, he wouldn't can't have participated in the dinner.

"There are a lot of things that happened down there that are not going to happen in the future," he said.?
