MADISON – Madison Fire and Rescue Department is working with Partnership for a Drug-Free Community for one of the area’s most unusual fundraisers, in which teams of residents can show their level of physical strength.

In the “Pullin’ for Partnership - Fire Truck Challenge,” 10-member teams will pull a 46,000-pound fire truck with a rope for a distance of 50 feet.

The event on Oct. 26 will run from 3 to 6 p.m. in Madison City Schools Stadium’s parking lot at 211 Celtic Drive.

During planning, Partnership consulted with other nonprofits who have conducted similar fundraisers in other cities and states.

“Participants will create fun memories while they help Partnership provide its much-needed youth drug education programs,” Partnership Executive Director Wendy Reeves said. “The challenge also will benefit the Recovery Resource Hub program that helps people find needed treatment services who are living with addiction.”

“As a nonprofit, Partnership depends on community support, donations and grant funding. Throughout its 33 years, Partnership provides all services for free, including Recovery Resource Hub’s assessments, required to help get people into state-funded treatment programs,” Reeves

OPINION

2A

October 13, 2021

Letter to the Editor: Flip-flopping mask requirements confuses students Editor’s note: The views and opinions expressed in a letter to the editor are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of The Madison Record.

To the Editor: The choice of wearing a mask has spun into a flurry of discussions and debates in many public settings. The debates are even spilling into the Madison City School District, which started the school year with a mask mandate only to turn to “masks

optional” a few weeks later. This “mask optional” scenario lasted for less than two days, which in itself created a mountain out of a molehill. In my opinion, masks should remain mandatory until COVID had “normalized” with cases not fluctuating, or until it is gone completely.

During the brief “mask optional” directive, I noticed a large fuss over the fact that teachers were “moving students who don’t want to wear a mask, separating them from those who do.” While this was

just a precautionary measure, in case the teachers or students felt uncomfortable, I saw some teachers take this initiative to the extreme. As a student at Bob Jones High School, I personally saw a teacher separate two unmasked students from the rest of our class by an entire row of desks, cramming the rest of us into the front three rows. The issue with this situation is that, by placing every other student in the front, clustered together, this teacher potentially created a larger danger of COVID cir-

culating within the group that was not being socially distanced than if she had not separated those two students out in the first place.

Flip-flopping between the mask mandate and the “mask optional” decision and then back again makes parents upset and students rather confused.

The superintendent making a verdict like that without board support does not help our students remain safe from this virus nor does it help decrease the number of infections in our

area.

Since wearing masks has become rather commonplace now, this change messes with the “normal” that we have been living with during this pandemic.

Without that constant, people become overconfident and endanger more than just themselves. Although it may not be a popular stance, I believe our Madison City Schools should maintain a mask mandate until this pandemic can be controlled.

Sincerely, Zachary Persons

Editorial: It’s time again to think pink

By STAFF REPORTS A breast cancer diagnosis doesn’t affect just the patient. It causes sorrow and fear for all the people who know the mother, grandmother, sister or wife confronting the disease.

The statistics on breast cancer are grim. An estimated 281,550 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer this year, and the illness will kill 43,600 women, according to the Susan G. Komen organization. An estimated 4,460 Alabama women will be diagnosed and 720 will die, according to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation of Alabama.

Yet, there are positive signs. The Komen organization reports that from 1989 to 2018 (the most recent data available), “breast cancer mortality decreased by 41% due to improved breast cancer treatment and early detection.

Since 1989, about 403,200 breast cancer deaths in U.S. women have been avoided.”

Coloring this month pink helps various organizations raise money for research and improved treatment that will help decrease mortality from the illness.

More importantly, having a breast cancer awareness month provides a chance to educate women about how they can lessen the likelihood they’ll get breast cancer but detect it early if they do.

There are some risk factors for breast cancer that are out of a woman’s control, including family history, her gender, age and ethnicity. Most breast cancer is found in women 55 and older, for instance. And women are 100 times more likely to get breast cancer than men.

The American Cancer Society says there are steps a woman should take to reduce her chances of having breast

Madison Weather with Steve Norris

Warm week before weekend cold front

By STEVE NORRIS MADISON - Temperatures are going to be hitting 85 degrees on a few days this week, but a strong cold front arrives around Friday and Saturday and brings a chance of rain followed by much cooler weather. I expect high temperatures for Saturday and Sunday to only be around the upper 60s and drop to the upper 40s at night.

Our next full moon comes on October

20 and it is called the Hunter’s Moon, it will appear for the day before and the day after.

How did it get its name? As the Native Americans prepared for the cold months ahead, they looked to October’s full moon as the signal to gather meat for winter. Because of this, the October moon came to be known as the Full Hunter’s Moon.

cancer, including: • Stay physically active. The ACS recommends getting 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise every week, preferably spread out over several days.

• Limit use of alcohol. Women who drink should consume no more than one alcoholic drink a day, the ACS recommends.

• Stay at a healthy weight. The ACS recommends avoiding weight gain with a proper diet and exercise.

Recommendations for detecting breast cancer vary based on a woman’s risk factors and age, but finding the disease early and getting treatment clearly lead to better outcomes.

The American Cancer Society says women who get regular mammograms are more likely to have their breast cancer found early, less likely to need the most aggressive treatments and more likely to be cured.

The latest recommendations call for women at average risk of breast cancer to consider starting regular mammograms between the ages of 40-44 before getting them annually from 45-54. Women 55 and older may need them only every other year.

So as the weather cools and fall arrives this month, take the opportunity to learn more about breast cancer. Women can make lifestyle changes that make them less vulnerable to the disease.

They also can make sure to talk to their medical providers about screening.

All of us can consider donating to an organization or project that helps fight breast cancer, whether it involves research, purchasing new equipment or making detection accessible to those with limited resources.

Think pink in October. Think prevention. Think early detection.

AL residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls ALABAMA - Once Alabama residents got wind that Alabama State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them.

That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value.

“It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders.

In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Alabama State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Alabama residents already have and you don’t want to miss out.

You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped

minting these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible.

And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value.

That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up.

But you better hurry because these Alabama State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Alabama residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can.

That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.

■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Alabama who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Alabama residents Alabama residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per AL resident has been imposed ALABAMA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury.

For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Alabama Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Alabama residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication.

“I recently spoke with a numismatic expert in United States of America coins and currency who said ‘In all my years as a numismatist I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said.

“Now that the State of Alabama Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Alabama residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne.

“That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Alabama Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Alabama residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say.

And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Alabama you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline.

The only thing Alabama residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends.

“Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said.

“We’re guessing thousands of Alabama residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued.

“We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning.

We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days to answer all the calls it won’t be easy.

So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all.” Lynne said.

The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Alabama and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■

SILVER: one of the last silver coins minted for circulation

VALUABLE: minted in philadelphia, denver & san fraancisco

ENLARGED TO SHOW DETAIL: year varies 1916-1947

RARELY SEEN: minted by the u.s. mint in the early 1900’s

FACTS:

HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS If you are a Alabama State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB2625

Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:

Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:

It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Alabama State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.

Why are so many Alabama residents claiming them:

Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all Alabama residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.

How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:

Alabama residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB2625 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning.

Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each Alabama State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

Dead Parrots Society to raise guests’ spirits and funds for Kids Kingdom

By GREGG PARKER Gregg@themadisonrecord.com MADISON – The Dead Parrots Society bash will debut on Oct. 30 as a fun-filled evening of music and libations while raising funds for renovation of Kids Kingdom in Dublin Park.

The first annual Dead Parrots Society will run from 6 to 11 p.m. at Black Patch Distilling Co., 500 Lanier Road in Madison. The night of Halloween frivolity will include musical entertainment, dancing and a costume contest to masquerade in a getup, gimmick or, conveniently, wearing a mask in style.

Rotary Club of Madison is sponsoring the event to support renovation of Kids Kingdom and other charitable projects throughout the year.

“Rotary Club has been doing Parrots of the Caribbean for

over a decade. We felt like it was time to do something new and fresh to attract a larger group of people in the community,” Rotarian Melissa Gibson said.

“Since there isn’t a community Halloween event for adults in Madison, we felt this was a great opportunity to start a new tradition for years to come.”

Nerdy Boy Productions LLC, a premier mobile DJ service in North Alabama, will handle deejay spins. Alex McLemore (aka DJ Nerdy Boy) owns and operates the service, with 15-plus years of experience in live sound and lighting production, along with six years in mobile DJ production.

Several food trucks, including Mac and Snacks, Momma’s Kitchen and Loaded Empanada, will feed the crowd. “Adult beverages will include beer, wine and a special event signature

drink from a cashless bar. We’ll serve a Morgue-a-rita — a ghoulish twist on a classic margarita,” Gibson said.

An online auction will open on Oct. 20 and continue through Oct. 30. An auction site will be available with Rotary’s website (madisonalrotary.org) and Facebook page. Examples of themed baskets are Hole in One, golf supplies; Sports Mania, first pitch of 2022 with Trash Pandas; Sweet Home Alabama; Puppy Love; Happy Holidays; and Girls Just Want to Have Fun. Guests also can bid on standalones, like weekend getaways, jewelry, sports tickets and lifestyle services.

Early bird tickets cost $25 through Oct. 23 at Eventbrite. com. Afterwards, tickets will cost $30 with Eventbrite.com or at the event.

Dead Parrots Society, a fundraising party with Halloween spirits, will flutter in to Black Patch Distilling Co., 500 Lanier Road in Madison on Oct. 30 from 6 to 11 p.m. chair for Dead Parrots Society.

The Huntsville Ballet will open their 2021-22 season next week with Unplugged, which includes Carnival of the Animals. Ticket information can be found at www.huntsvilleballet.org

Huntsville Ballet opens season with Unplugged, Carnival of the Animals

By STAFF REPORTS HUNTSVILLE - Huntsville Ballet announced they will open the 2021-2022 season with the much anticipated Unplugged series showcasing both classical and contemporary choreography including Carnival of the Animals and two premiering works: Moral Virtue and Images Unconfined. Unplugged is scheduled for Oct. 22-24 at the Dream Theater in Huntsville.

The Dream Theater is located on the campus of the Rock Family Worship Center, 3401 Holmes Ave in Huntsville.

Parking is free. All tickets are $35 and are available at www.huntsvilleballet. org.

Carnival of the Animals was composed in 1886 by Camille Saint-Sa ns to musically express some of the silly habits his friends shared with animals. The piece consists of 14 movements, each of which uses the sounds of the orchestra to imitate the sounds of an animal, from roosters to elephants to kangaroos. “Carnival of the Animals promises to delight children and adults alike,” said Phillip Otto, Artistic Director for Huntsville Ballet. “Each year, we try to capture the imagination of our audience by introducing them to a variety of ballets and compositions. For this performance, we have enlisted the help of local favorites, Ron Roberts and Wilson Luquire to narrate the humorous verses inspired by

this popular piece,” Otto said. Phillip Otto, Rachel Butler, and Cathy Curry collaborated to create stylized choreography for the different animals brought to life.

Moral Virtue, a new work by Artistic Director, Phillip Otto, is set to the music of Antonin Dvo ák’s String Quartet No.10 in E flat, Op.51. Speaking of his choreography, Otto said, “Moral Virtue tells no story. The dancers move like water transformed by music, flowing graceful arcs, limbs in constant motion, painting a picture sound alone cannot achieve. They bring wordless interpretation of the beats, of the soft strings, in a way the audience can understand no matter what language they speak. In that way, dance isn’t simply movement but the most honest form of communication I know.”

Unconfined Images, a new upbeat piece by Stephanie Braly-Beutjer, is set to music by Karl Jenkins. It was inspired by the many dancers Braly-Beutjer taught in the Images Dance Ensemble at Grissom High School over the past 25 years. “The work represents moving joyously and with abandon using unrestrained, uninhibited yet powerful movement through time and space,” Braly-Beutjer said. “I dedicate this piece to my former students who inspired and pushed me to not only be a better teacher and choreographer, but also a better person.”

nating their facilities for the event,” Gibson said. “Their generosity will greatly impact the amount we can give back to rebuilding of Kids Kingdom.”

them to find their passion.”

Planning for Bob Jones MedHacks required about four months. New to the job, her work was difficult but also had a fun factor.

By summer, Nguyen formed a board of eight members. Along with Nguyen, the board included Thomas Nguyen and Xueer Chen, finance managers; Alecia Walker and Staci Smith, marketing managers; and Ashlyn Davenport, Samanvi Vookuturi and Maanasi Limaye, logistics managers.

They completed an email blitz to find sponsors, workshop instructors and mentors. Nguyen conducted Zoom meetings and even drove to meet in person. The process took three months.

Students also created an Eventbrite website for registration, designed T-shirts and secured pizzas from Little Caesars.

Day one of MedHacks involved three 90-minute workshops; day two saw two hour-long workshops. Teams wrote most projects in Python. Some used Streamlit to activate their website.

On the Hackathon day, participants were sorted into four-member groups and worked together to formulate a solution to the medical scenario. “On

MADISON – Julia Nguyen spearheaded a student-led, four-day event, “MedHacks,” for 60 participants to study a local problem about health care.

MedHacks is a ‘hackathon’ in which teams collaborate and pitch ideas to offer solutions to a given problem. These teams present their creations to a panel of judges. Winners receive prizes.

MedHacks studied the problem, “How to deliver medical care to underprivileged people who do not live near hospitals.”

In early 2021, Nguyen attended multiple hackathons. “I’ll never forget how impactful each and every one of them was. My very first one was MERGE 2021. Because of COVID, this was a virtual hackathon, which has its ups and downs,” she said.

Albeit virtual, hackathons introduced Nguyen to people around the world – even Indonesia. “From this hackathon, I learned so much from workshops and the people. I wanted to give students around the area a chance to also experience what a hackathon is,” she said. She wanted to expedite lessons in coding and the medical world . . . “even inspire

Participants in MedHacks, Bob Jones’ version of a hackathon, disclosed a solution to the debated problem during the sessions. this day, they worked from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., which may sound long, but for a hacker is a very small amount of time,” Nguyen said.

MedHacks was an “open hackathon” that focused on solving a medical problem that teams considered important to the community. This process resulted in various innovations and ideas, she said.

“I would like to thank Ms. Amy Thaxton and Ms. Sylvia Lambert for their constant support and helping me make this event happen,” Nguyen said. “I want to thank my teacher sponsors, Mr. Bill McIlwain and Ms. Brandy Van Dam.” Community partners and sponsors helped in funding the entire event with T-shirts, food and prizes: Irepertoire (which sent a mentor to the event), Ac-

clinate, SimTech, Brockwell, Booz Allen Hamilton, Huntsville AI (Artificial Intelligence), University of Alabama in Huntsville, Urban Engine and Signalink.

“This event was mostly educational.

I hope the kids learned from workshops and their teammates. Hopefully, these kids also got to know the mentors a little more. I, myself, have definitely learned a lot from this experience as the organizer instead of the hacker,” Nguyen said.

Nguyen’s major hope was to bring her hackathon experiences to Bob Jones and for “we, high schoolers, to acknowledge the constantly changing medical world and take charge.”

Nguyen plans to organize another hackathon in spring 2022. “I hope even more students will come,” she said.

ens applies in preparing students for a college path or a workforce career. Dr. Brian Clayton, Principal of James Clemens, Dr. Ed Nichols, Superintendent of Madison City Schools, and James Clemens administrative team led Wieczorek on a tour of classrooms in session.

Wieczorek also visited students in academies for JetsPress, engineering and health/medical,

along with the theater department. Student tellers in the new branch for Redstone Federal Credit Union showed the lessons that they are learning about banking, according to MCS Public Relations Manager John Peck.

At a reception in his honor, Wieczorek spoke to school staff and business professionals. Wieczorek’s goal is to stockpile ideas for high schools to share.

In addition, a classic car collector will display several of his most prized automobiles, a community service Blood

Currently, a major difficult in education concerns a shortage of teachers, surprisingly not about pay but, because of lack of respect for the job.

Wieczorek said local educators can change this outlook by “building connections” that assist in “telling our story.”

For his tour, Wieczorek has taken leave for one year as principal of Arrowhead Union High School in Hartland, Wis.

Drive will take place, and the National Guard will bring their popular Rock Wall, Gladiator Pit, and Basketball Goal.

HARVEST - Incredible! That’s how Chandler Phillips, head coach of the Sparkman volleyball program, described her squad as the post-season of the 2021 high school volleyball season gets underway with the State Tournament set for Oct. 26-28.

Sparkman has a 40-8 overall record and is ranked sixth in the latest state rankings. The squad is the No. 1 seed for the Area Tournament where they’ll be top seed against Albertville, Huntsville and Grissom. The Senators are expected to win the area and advance to the Super Regional Tournament set to be held at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville.

A victory there will advance Sparkman to the State Tournament, which is a locale the program has never been in the long school history.

“We were faced with a lot of adversity at the beginning of the season as we dealt with sickness and injuries, but these girls dealt with it well and never complained,” said Phillips.

“This team likes each other and that comradery makers every-

thing come together for us on the court.”

The senior-led squad with six senior members spotted on the team roster is led by Aleah Stogner (5-foot-11, OH) who is an All-State performer and recently surpassed 1,000 career kills and over 500 kills for this season. She has remarkable career numbers for the Senators especially from the fact this is her second season with the program after joining a season ago while still playing sand volleyball.

Also playing a big factor in the currently winning season is Allie Cagle (5-6, DS, Sr.) who worked hard to earn a starting position on this year’s squad.

Cassie Reasner (5-11, OH, Jr.) leads a group of five juniors on the team roster as she has 53 service aces, 292 kills, and 403 digs.

Phillips said Reasner is being heavily recruited by many SEC schools for her talents as shortstop on the Sparkman softball team. “It’s amazing to see her dive for the balls on the court as she is a great athlete and her play as a softball shortstop has helped her in volleyball,” added Phillips.

Junior setter Ariel Fuqua (5-7,

S, Jr.) had over 1,000 assists last season where the Senators lost in the Super Regionals. She has the same number in that category this year. Kemora Coachman (5-11, MB, Sr.) has 366 kills and over 100 digs and has stepped up her game for the current campaign.

Phillips is in her second season as head coach after stints at both Hartselle and Decatur High Schools. She played high school volleyball at Hartselle before making her way to college at UAB where she said her coach taught the valuable assets of being a teammate. Phillips said, “She taught that and I experienced that coaching style and I use it with my girls here at Sparkman. We do a lot of team building during the off-season.

This squad is loud and happy as we laugh a lot. We know if the girls are happy they play better.”

Sparkman has not lost a regular season match since August and feel much of the schedule against teams from the Birmingham area only makes this team better. “This is the best team I’ve had as a coach. They work for each other,” said Phillips.

MADISON – The Rocket City Trash Pandas are proud to announce third baseman Mitch Nay has been named a Double-A South Postseason All-Star for the 2021 season.

The first All-Star in Trash Pandas history, Nay previously earned All-Star selections for High-A Daytona in 2018 and Low-A Lansing in 2014.

Nay, 28, was a mainstay in the Rocket City lineup for the entire season. Over 106 games, Nay batted .237 (176for-367) with 23 home runs, 54 RBI, 61 runs scored, 59 walks, and 20 doubles. His 23 home runs tied for the Double-A South lead and set a new career-high, surpassing the 17 he hit in 2019 while playing in the Cincinnati Reds organization.

He also ranked among the Double-A South leaders in home runs (T-1st, 23), runs (3rd, 61), walks (4th, 59), games played (T-4th, 106), doubles (T-6th, 20), RBI, (T-9th, 54), and hits (T-10th, 87).

Nay was at his best in August when he was named Double-A South Player of the Month. Over 24 games that month, he batted .333 (29-for-87) with six home runs and 14 RBI while leading the league in runs (19) and total bases (52). He ranked second in hits (29) and third in home runs (6), on-base percentage (.420), slugging percentage (.598), and OPS (1.018). He recorded nine multi-hit games and hit safely in 17 of 24 games in August.

The 2021 season was Nay’s first in the Los Angeles Angels system. He was originally selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the first round of the 2012 MLB Draft out of Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona.

Jets remain undefeated with Class 7A, Region 4 win over Grissom

By JOHN FEW john@themadisonrecord.com MADISON – The sixth-ranked James Clemens Jets confidently put away Grissom Thursday night in a Class 7A Region 4 matchup to remain undefeated. The Jets (8-0, 5-0) racked up all 31 points by halftime on way to a 31-13 win.

Aaron Rowe opened the scoring for the Jets with a field goal early in the first quarter. A few minutes later, Gio Lopez completed a 31-yard touchdown pass to Tyrik Walker, followed by a Rowe PAT. The second quarter was a runaway for the Jets with Lopez passing a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kobe Johnson and a 45-yarder to Walker. That was followed with an interception by Jamal Mayers, which set up a 23-yard run into the endzone by Dante Snodgrass to close out the half.

The Jets will travel to Sparkman High School (3-3, 3-1) next week for another key Class 7A, Region 4 matchup.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m.

Gio Lopez finished the night 10-of-17 for 157 yards and the three touchdowns.

Bob Jones senior defensive back Cosey Scarebrook has entertained college offers for his talents not just on the football but because of his talents in track and field.

Cosey Scarebrook leads Bob Jones football and track, looks to possibly attend West Point

By BOB LABBE bob0873@yahoo.com

What’s up at the

MADISON- A bright future awaits Bob Jones senior football player and track athlete Cosey Scarebrook. The decision is his as he entertains possible colleges to attend after leaving the confines of the Class 7A school next spring.

“I’m keeping my options as I would like to play both sports in college if I can,” said Scarebrook, who carries a 3.0 grade point average and would like to pursue a degree and become an athletic trainer.

Currently, West Point has offered him a ride where he can tackle both football and track. He has had visits to UT-Chattanooga, Jacksonville State and Louisville as recruiting became heavy after his recent junior track season for the Patriots.

Besides tremendous football talents as a defensive back where he’s one of the leading tacklers on the team and has had two interceptions on the season, one of which was a picksix versus Florence, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound speedster also faces the challenges of participating on the school’s track team where he participates in all of the jumping events,

Patriots’ squad being clocked at 4.43 in the 40-yard sprint. He said track is his first love and will accept a school that presents him a full ride and the chance to play both sports.

The son of Michael and Camica Parker said, “I don’t really want to go into the military, but I’m looking strongly at West Point. My parents and I talk about colleges and my choices and they have said they will respect my decision when I make it after the spring track season.”

An energetic personality, Scarebrook once taught himself how to play the trumpet using instructional booklets. He also overcame asthma as a child and participates in local charity work helping at food drives for the homeless. He says private prayers prior to each football game and track event and for good luck in track he wears a lucky pair of white Adidas socks. At one point he went on personal training treks that lasted three hours each, four times a week.

With his athletic talent and desire to succeed, no matter which higher education facility picks him up in 2022, it will receive a true athlete who will be ready to serve and give his best effort.

the 4x100 relay and the 200-yard sprint.

As a junior, he finished second in the state in the high jump where he lost in a jump-off after he posted a mark of 6-feet, 8-inches. He also posted great marks in the long jump (20-feet, 10-inches) and triple jump (41-feet, 7.5-inches).

His prowess in track began at a very young age as he watched his cousins run track, which led him to the desire to pursue the sport through his youth. His attempt to play football did not begin until his seventh grade year at Discovery Middle School. “I had to really work at my football skills, but I’m blessed with my natural athletic talents which has helped tremendously,” added Scarebrook, who started on the Bob Jones varsity halfway through his sophomore season.

He’s never left his starting role.

“I feel I will make a big play during each game as I fly around the field to get to the ball,” said Scarebrook, who has been described by recruiting outlets as “long and athletic.” He added, “I’m what I call an average tackler, but can be a hard hitter when I want to be.”

His speed is second to none on the

Patriots brush aside Albertville in 62-21 rout

By STAFF REPORTS

Veterans Prayer Breakfast Friday, November 5, 2021

Coffee Reception in the Atrium at 6:45 a.m.

MADISON - The Patriots scored a key win over Albertville on Friday, confidently securing their second place Region standing. The Patriots are 4-1 in Class 7A, Region 4, sandwiched between first place James Clemens and third place Sparkman, both strong rivals.

The 62-21 win at Madison City Stadium means the Patriots have a good chance of making the playoffs this year. Only

two Region 4 games remain, Grissom and Austin. Both teams are 2-5 for the season. Grissom suffered a loss last week to James Clemens, while Austin scored their second win of the season over region foe Huntsville.

In Friday’s game, the Patriots showed out, racking up 603 total yards, with 416 yards by halftime.

What looked like a close matchup in the first quarter, with each team scoring 14 points, quickly

turned into a rout as the Bob Jones quarterback Rayshawn Hardy threw for a 19-yard touchdown to Brody Cooper. He also had scoring runs of 70, 15 and two yards.

Hardy finished his night at the half with 263 yards rushing with eight carries and three rushing touchdowns. He passed for 15 yards with one touchdown.

Terrance Salter, had 12 carries for 227 yards, running for three touchdowns and catching a

Smith added a six yard run into the end zone in the second half.

Bob Jones scored 42 first-half points despite running only 22 plays.

Five of the Patriots’ nine touchdowns in the game took three plays or less — including three one-play drives.

“We are a team that’s gotten better every week.

We continue to get better, and it’s good to be peaking at this point in the season,”said Bob Jones coach Kelvis White.

Jets coach Drew Bell earns his 18th All-American honor

The father-son combo of Jase Bell, left, and his father, Drew Bell, recently competed in the XTERRA Trail Run Nationals in Ogden, Utah as part of a four-day trip to the western state.

L

OGDEN, UTAH - Madison’s Drew Bell has faced adversity numerous times in his 55 years as an athlete and longtime coach.

Like the super-trooper he is, Bell again looked hardship in the eye as he participated in his third XTERRA Trail Run Nationals one-half marathon in Ogden, Utah.

Bell completed the grueling trail run in 2-hours, 12-minutes, 21-seconds, which placed him in fifth place of the Men 55-19 age group. His superior performance gave him the honor of being named All-American, which was his 18th overall All-American distinction going back to his youth.

“The race was fun and a battle as you never know what’s going to happen,” said Bell. “My first All-American honor came at age 17 while I was running track in high school.”

Since that first All-American listing Bell has earned the distinctions while participating in indoor track, outdoor track, cross country, trails and road races.

An additional delight to the national event was the fact his son, Jase, 22, also ran in the race and he, too, earned All-American honors by finishing in third place in his Men 20-24 age group with a time of 2:04:30. The former cross country runner at James Clemens under his father’s coaching currently lives in Salt Lake City and works as a government contractor. It was his son who was responsible for having Bell attend

the event.

The Trail Run Nationals were originally on the calendar for Bell but was quickly erased from his schedule after he suffered injuries during a training run. Over 18 weeks ago he was on a 10-mile morning run by himself and suffered severe cramps at about the seven-mile trek. He couldn’t move and fell off a cliff on the Wade Mountain Trail in Huntsville. The drop was about 20 feet and he suffered three broken ribs, which were the same ribs he injured in an incident in November of 2020 at the Cave Run in Guntersville.

“After about 15 minutes I somehow made my way back to the trail,” said Bell. “Afterwards during my recovery I suffered from constant heartburn and I just didn’t feel well and not ready for any type of endurance competition. Two weeks prior to the Trail Run Nationals, Jase asked me to race with him. Once I started the race, the quick climb in elevation was difficult as I wasn’t used to the elevation in Utah.”

Bell said there was really nothing he could have done in training to prepare for the elevation change from North Alabama, but he was determined to participate with Jase and finish the race.

Not all went well in his efforts. At the eight-mile mark Bell fell and hit his knee on a nearby boulder.

He would fall three more times on his way to the finish, but his determination to finish and selfpride actually enabled him to pick up his pace.

“It was sort comical as I passed some runners, fell

and passed them again,” chuckled Bell. “At about the 10-mile mark I opened up and basically began a sprint to the finish.”

The course, which began at 6,400-feet in elevation in the Wasatch Mountains above Ogden, featured 2,200-feet of gut-wrenching climbs.

Shortly after the five-mile mark, the route took runners up to Sardine Peak for one of the most epic vistas imaginable. The course is brutal and taxing on any athlete who faces the challenges.

“I like running and competing,” said Bell. “Three years ago I couldn’t do anything as I was physically and mentally out of shape. I felt miserable, so I chose to make a change and began my trek in losing 40 pounds. I never want to get out of shape again.”

At the recent Cotton Row Run in Huntsville, Bell stood on the winners’ podium for the first time with a third place finish in his age group by posting at 10K time of 47:14. In Utah, he was attempting to qualify for the World Championships in Maui, Hawaii, but fell short of that goal.

Bell runs 50-70 miles weekly on trails with some elevations. He’s been running for 50 years and said he knows it won’t last forever, but he’s doing what he can.

His next running endeavor will be the New York Marathon set for Nov. 7 as a 1:31 time in a half-marathon qualified him for the annual trek among up to 35,000 runners in the Big Apple.

“If I can stay healthy and stay away from injuries, all will be good,” added Bell.

New Space Camp Operations Center to be named for Boeing

By STAFF REPORTS HUNTSVILLE – The U.S. Space & Rocket Center announced the naming of its new Space Camp Operations Center for Boeing, a global leader in aerospace and a longtime supporter of the Rocket Center and its Space Camp programs.

Boeing is making a $3.5 million donation for the new 40,600-square-foot building that will include a permanent home for U.S. Cyber Camp as well as a 1,000-seat auditorium and 10 classrooms and laboratories to support the Space Camp family of programs.

Dr. Kimberly Robinson, CEO and executive director of the Rocket Center, and Jim Chilton, senior vice president of Boeing’s Space and Launch Division, made the announcement of the Boeing donation this morning at a ceremonial groundbreaking for the building. Boeing’s contribution is the Center’s single largest donation to date.

“Our friends at Boeing have been with us since Space Camp began in 1982, and we’re honored to partner with them in creating a space that embraces the future

of exploration and will inspire generations to come,” Dr. Robinson said.

“The Boeing Company is investing in the U.S. Space and Rocket Center because it provides innovative exposure to STEMbased knowledge and hands-on learning that help students see themselves in the careers of the future,” said Jim Chilton, senior vice president of Boeing Space and Launch. “In fact, many of our Boeing space systems engineers are graduates of Space Camp, and credit their experiences here with inspiring them to reach for the stars.”

Also announced today is the naming of the multi-function lobby of the new operations building. The Allen Foundation made the funds possible for this soaring space, which will be named the Anthony Loumis Lobby in honor of 13-year-old Anthony Loumis, a Space Academy graduate.

The following donors contributed funds to outfit three of the 10 state-of-the-arts classrooms: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama – Robotics Lab; Gary Brukardt Foundation – Rocketry Propulsion; Dr. Joyce Neighbors Trust – STEM Lab.

During the groundbreaking ceremony on Friday morning, it was announced that Boeing contributed $3.5 million toward the project, securing naming rights for the new facility.

A groundbreaking ceremony was held Friday for the new 40,600-square-foot Space Camp Operations Center building. It will include a permanent home for U.S. Cyber Camp, as well as a 1,000-seat auditorium, and 10 classrooms and laboratories to support the Space Camp family of programs. The project is now underway and scheduled to open in March 2023.

With the G.I Bill, Tate earned a bachelor’s degree in mass communication from Wayland Baptist University – Hawaii.

“My passion is people,” Tate said. “As a professional communicator, I’m hoping to use my skills to advocate for women veterans. I decided to compete for Ms. Veteran America because I wholeheartedly believe in Final Salute’s mission.”

“As a woman veteran, I’ve faced my own obstacles. I vowed I would help my fellow sisters in arms.

So here I am,” Tate said.

Her children are Breanna and Cameron; the family owns Sarge, their French bulldog. Away from work, Tate enjoys traveling and interior decorating. “I have a supportive family that’s always willing to support my next adventure,” she said.

Ms. Veteran America serves as an ambassador for Final Salute Inc., which advocates for homeless women veterans and their children. In 2010, a woman veteran and cancer survivor founded the organization when she realized the magnitude of homeless women veterans in the United States.

Female veterans feel they are underserved when seeking housing and sup-

port services.

One component of Final Salute is Housing Outreach Mentorship Encouragement or HOME, which provides transitional housing, onsite case management, food, clothing, transportation, child care assistance and employment support.

Women are led to safe and suitable residences.

Another program, Assessment and Financial Education or SAFE, pre-

vents homelessness by easing financial hardships.

“Our paramedics have responded to more overdose calls this year than any other time I can re-

call,” Don Webster said.

Webster is a HEMSI spokesman, Partnership board member and truckpull committee chair.

“This community needs Partnership’s programs to reach our young people and make sure they have information to make educated choices when faced with drugs or alcohol.”

“What the Recovery Resource Hub does is extremely important. We see the devastation caused by overdoses almost daily, and we refer patients there,” Webster said.

Brandy Williams, Madison Deputy Fire Chief, said the department is

participating in “Pullin’ for Partnership” because they too see firsthand the opioid crisis’ impact.

“Most people are very aware that we have a serious opioid crisis. Anything we can do to bring awareness to programs that help address it, from trying to prevent it to helping those who have an addiction, is a positive for our community.”

Trophies will be presented for fastest/slowest pulls, team spirit and top fundraising.

MADISON HISTORY with John Rankin

THE RECORD • 7B

God Can Change Hearts!

By BECKY MILLER God’s Lemonade Stand Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Psalm 37:1-4

Clement Claiborne Clay, a son of Governor Clement Comer Clay.

Gov. Clement Comer Clay’s ties to Madison

By JOHN P. RANKIN Madison Historian MADISON - In his 1916 letter to Thomas McAdory Owen, head of the Department of Archives and History in Montgomery, Robert E. Wiggins wrote that “The Honorable C. C. Clay Jr. and the Honorable Jeremiah Clemmons {should be Clemens}, both U.S Senators from Alabama, {were} born within two miles of Madison, on plantations owned at that time by their fathers, who lived on them.” While the town of Madison existed when Wiggins wrote his input to Owen, it had not existed at all when the two senators-to-be were reportedly born very near where the town was established later in 1857. Today their above-mentioned birthplaces are in fact a part of the modern city limits of Madison.

The Clay plantation land in question was basically on the west side of Bradford Creek, north of Madison Boulevard, and just about half a mile east of County Line Road.

Today, Production Avenue, Warehouse Avenue, and Next Technology Drive pass through parts of a 720-acre parcel owned by Alabama Governor Clement Comer Clay, lying adjacent to his father-in-law John W. Withers’ lands and adjoining plantations of James Clemens, Joseph Bradford, and others. Of course, Gov. Clay had several lots in Huntsville plus three plantations dating back as far as 1810 in Madison County, totaling about 3,000 acres in all.

The birth years for the sons of Clemens (1814) and Clay (1817) were before it was legal for their fathers to live on any of the land within two miles of 1916 Madison. Clay and Clemens were born about 25 to 30 years before Wiggins, so he was not providing first-hand information in his statement about them. It may be that time had confused Wiggins’ recollection (he was 73 at the time of his writing), or he may have simply recalled hearing that the fathers had in fact owned land near Madison and assumed that the two Senators were born on that land. It also may be that what Wiggins had been told by other “old-timers” of the area was wrong, or perhaps he misunderstood the details.

There is another likely basis for Wiggins’ error about the location of the births of Clay and Clemens, since the fathers of both men in fact did own plantations within about two miles of the later Madison historic district. Because no part of the area within several miles of Madison was offered for sale by the government until February of 1818, neither man could have lived legally on plantations here before that time. However, they could have resided illegally on the land, as a large number of “squatters” did begin farming land here from about 1806, twelve years before the legal purchase date. Also, their sons may have lived as children for a time on their fathers’ plantations in this area.

Perhaps more pertinent, Robert E. Wiggins was born in 1843 on a plantation located near the junction of today’s Martin Road with Wall-Triana Highway. Wiggins was 14 years old when Madison began to be a village clustered around the rail depot. He lived in or very near the early town of Madison all of his adult life before 1916, excepting only the four years that he served in the Confederate States Army. However, considering Wiggins’ age as a teen in 1857 at the town’s founding, he may not have been interested in paying much attention to such de-

tails of the town’s infancy and development as a youth. Still, he did write the first history of the town, so Robert Wiggins was perhaps somewhat of an eye witness and authority on the history of the settlement during his later lifetime, as he recalled what others had told him.

Jeremiah Clemens (1814-1865) was, of course, the son of James Clemens, the Founder of Madison.

Jeremiah graduated from the University of Alabama in 1833. Admitted to the bar in 1834, he initiated his law practice in Huntsville.

Jeremiah fought in the Texas War of Independence and became a colonel in the Mexican War. He was an Alabama-elected U. S. Senator 1849-1853. He was succeeded in that capacity by Clement Claiborne Clay. He moved to Memphis in 1858 to become editor of the Memphis Eagle and Enquirer newspapers.

Jeremiah returned to Huntsville by 1861 and held office in the Confederacy, but he became a strong Union supporter in 1864. He died in 1865 of pneumonia before his father’s estate was settled, so he never owned land or a house in Madison.

C. C. Clay Jr. was Clement Claiborne Clay, a son of Alabama’s 8th governor, Clement Comer Clay.

His mother was Susanna Claiborne Withers, daughter of pre-Madison area landowner John W. Withers.

Clement Claiborne Clay used the “Jr.” after his name, even though his father’s middle name was Comer, but the Claiborne middle name for “Junior” was the maiden surname of his maternal grandmother.

It was also the maiden surname of his paternal great-grandmother.

Born in 1817, Junior was raised in Huntsville, where his father practiced law. In 1835-7, when “Senior” served as governor, Junior was Private Secretary to his father. He had graduated from the University of Alabama in 1834 with a Bachelor of Arts degree, which was extended to a Master’s degree in 1837. Afterward, he studied law at the University of Virginia and was admitted to the bar in 1840, with a practice in Huntsville. He also became editor of the Huntsville Democrat newspaper, but he was elected to the state legislature in 1842, 1844, and 1845.

He became judge of the Madison County Court in 1846, resigning in 1848 and later becoming U. S. Senator, a position which he held for 9 years.

When the Confederacy was organized, C. C. Clay Jr. served as a Confederate Senator from 1861 to 1863.

In 1864 he represented the Confederate Army in Canada, retiring back to Alabama in January of 1865.

He was charged with complicity in Lincoln’s assassination and incarcerated with Confederate President Jefferson Davis for a year.

His release was won largely by the Washington, D. C., lobbying efforts of his wife, Virginia Tunstall Clay.

Virginia Clay married Judge David Clopton of Huntsville after her first husband’s death, which occurred

on January 3, 1882.

Virginia Tunstall Clay was a close relative of Mary Williams Battle, wife of Alabama Chief Justice and Governor Henry Watkins Collier.

Henry Collier was a son of James and Elizabeth Bouldin Collier, who in 1818 moved their family to Myrtle Grove Plantation in Limestone County near Triana. While serving on the Alabama Supreme Court, Henry lived in Tuscaloosa, where he hosted the grand wedding party for Virginia Tunstall and Clement Claiborne Clay.

Others of the many James Collier children and grandchildren intermarried with Madison-area Slaughter, Pickett, Withers, Blackwell, and Walker families, with “in-law” connections to the Sale, Pettus, and Bibb families of the area. James Collier himself was a Revolutionary War soldier from Lunenburg County, Virginia. Henry Collier’s brother Thomas Bouldin Collier of Myrtle Grove married Mary Harrison Dent, a close relative of Julia Dent, the wife of U. S. General and President Ulysses S. Grant of Civil War notoriety. Thereby, the infamous Union general and later U. S. President was related to many Madison families of his day, including connections to Clement Claiborne Clay, the Confederate Senator imprisoned for a time due to assumed implication with President Lincoln’s murder.

Governor Clement Comer Clay additionally had another two prominent sons who lived in Huntsville.

These were Hugh Lawson Clay and John Withers Clay. According to the book Early Settlers of Alabama

by Col. James E. Saunders, both of these sons suffered paralyzing strokes late in life. Hugh was the youngest, and he was an attorney, as well as having a staff appointment in the military. He left no children surviving him. John Withers Clay was editor for over 40 years of the Huntsville Democrat newspaper.

He married Mary Lewis and had sons William and Withers Clay. He also had daughters Mary, Sue, Virginia (“Jenny”), and Elodie. After their father’s paralysis, Jenny and Sue continued to run the newspaper for many years, attaining acclaim for their professionalism at a time when few women were well-educated or involved in such professions.

Jenny, Sue, and Elodie never married, and some accounts indicate that Maiden Lane, the original name of Eustis Street in Huntsville, was so-named because of their lifetime of singleness. Other accounts have stated that the name Maiden Lane derived from the presence of the Huntsville Female Seminary at 515 Eustis Street. As can be surmised from this short summary of the Clay family lives and their connections to old Madison, our town has long had numerous contributions and connections to people with great influence in Huntsville, the county, the state, and the nation.

Gov. Clement Comer Clay

Have you ever caught yourself despairing about something that hasn’t even happened yet and in fact may be a couple years away? Or a seemingly humanly impossible situation that seems like no miracle could ever occur?

Newsflash. I too have to remind myself God is over all situations, all of them, ALL. Fabricating scenarios for the future to make you worry now is a tool of Satan. And thinking God can’t turn around a humanly impossible situation is also wrong cause He still does miracles.

Try to relax and live each and every day with hope and promise. God is in the business of setting captives free and of doing what humans think he can’t!

PRAYER: Father I thank you for working miracles to show your awesome power. Help me testify to your goodness when something good occurs in my life or a prayer is answered. In Jesus’ name.

Amen.
