Makayla Pitts is a recent high school graduate who isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19 but is young enough where she probably would not suffer serious health consequences if she contracted the virus.
The 18-year-old who is graduating from B.C. Rain High School isn’t taking any chances, however. She’s not going to Friday’s Mardi Gras-style parade in downtown Mobile because she remains unvaccinated and because she anticipates most people there will not be wearing face coverings.
“COVID is still out there,” said Pitts, who says she needs to get vaccinated this summer before attending college in Atlanta this fall. “I am not vaccinated so I know to still wear my mask. But people are not wearing masks when they are supposed to.”

Chris Hettich’s business is the kind you never think about, at least until you really, really need it.
Throughout the Regions Tradition, the annual Birmingham major on the PGA Tour Champions schedule, a lot of people are very happy Hettich is involved.
“We’ve had up to 150 units out here at one time, especially for peak attendance,” Hettich said before this year’s tournament. But 2021, the first in a global pandemic, was different. “We’ll have fewer individual portables and, instead of six or seven restroom trailers, we’ll have three.”

They’re noticeable to spectators in person and to viewers on TV: the unique 3D Regions Tradition tee markers in the shape of the bank’s iconic bike brand.
Forrest Satterfield created them in 2015 because, well, someone asked if it was possible. That’s what Satterfield likes to do – take the ordinary and make it extraordinary.
“When the Bruno Event Team (which coordinates the Tradition) first reached out to me, I’d just received my first funding from an investor – $25,000,” Satterfield said. “I had one 3D printer, one scanner, and I was running everything out of my apartment. I was terrified. I didn’t know how I was going to pay the rent.”
