MADISON – Madison City Schools is ranked the best public school district in Alabama for 2020-2021, according to a national education research group. The report by NICHE moved Madison City Schools from #2 last year to #1. That’s out of 136 public school districts in Alabama.

Individual MCS schools also fared well in the NICHE report with all in the top tier.

Bob Jones ranked #2 and James Clemens a close #5 among Alabama’s 357 public high schools.

Discovery Middle ranked #1 and Liberty Middle a close #4 among 390 middle schools statewide.

Out of 718 elementary schools in Alabama, Madison Elementary ranked 2nd, Mill

Creek 3rd, Columbia 4th, Heritage 7th, West Madison 8th, Horizon 10th and Rainbow 16th.

Madison City Schools Superintendent Dr. Ed Nichols said being in the top one percent or less in almost every category is a reflection of a “true community effort� that everyone can be proud of. “Certainly, teachers and staffs in our schools deserve much of the credit. They are the ones where the learning happens every day. It is also a reflection of the great parents and kids we have in the district, and an administrative team and board that continuously look for ways to improve,� he said. “I think what this also shows is that no matter where you live in Madison, no matter what level your child is at

– elementary, middle or high school – he or she will go to a top quality school,� added Dr. Heather Donaldson, Chief Academic Officer for Madison City Schools.

Dr. Nichols credited the school board and community for decisions - sometimes difficult ones like rezoning and the recent tax increase for new schools - that continually keep MCS at the forefront.

NICHE says it bases its annual evaluations using a variety of criteria including state test scores, college readiness, graduation rates, SAT/ACT scores, teacher quality, public school district ratings and opinions from students and parents.

Nationwide, Madison City Schools ranked 65th out of 10,760 public school districts in the latest NICHE findings.

MADISON - Students in Madison City Schools experienced a little more normalcy on Monday. Superintendent Dr. Ed Nichols said all students that have selected schoolbased instruction will attend every day instead of a rotation schedule that has been in place since campuses opened back up last month. “Our second nine Dr. Nichols weeks of school is off to a great start,� Dr. Nichols said. “The Alabama Department of Public Health released an update for its back to school toolkit. This update changes some of the definition and requirements of quarantining close contacts of major symptoms.� The school district said they will post information concerning these updates on the Health Services link on the Madison City Schools website this week. It can be found at www.madisoncity.k12.al.us.

Dr. Nichols also said the school district had nine new positive cases of COVID-19 last week. “We currently have 97 staff and students in quarantine from being associated with positive or presumptive cases,� he said.

The breakdown is as follows: Positive Cases Rainbow: 2 students Bob Jones: 1 student James Clemens: 3 employees, 2 students District: 1 employee Quarantined (Does not include new positive cases): Columbia: 1 employee, 1 student Heritage: 7 students Horizon: 6 students Madison: 7 students Mill Creek: 1 employee, 3 students Rainbow: 2 employees, 3 students West Madison: 1 employee, 2 students Pre-K: 1 employee, 1 student Discovery: 12 students Liberty: 7 students Bob Jones: 3 employees, 8 students James Clemens: 3 employees, 25 students District: 3 employees.

Madison UMC opens Prayer Walk for anyone to visit

By GREGG PARKER Gregg.Parker@madison countyrecord.com MADISON – For anyone looking for hope and inspiration during these troubled times, Madison United Methodist Church at 127 Church St. has built a simple, guided prayer walk.

On the lawn east of the sanctuary across Church Street, “The prayer walk has 11 stations with a scripture, a reading and a guided prayer that takes you on a journey from hope to hope,” Senior Pastor Travis Wilson said.

Madison Methodist’s staff had been praying about and visioning a creative way to reach out to the community so people could connect within a socially distanced way.

Their plan “was sensitive to individuals’ calendars (as things geared back up) so folks could participate on their own time at any time,” Wilson said.

“We also thought it would be good to have it outside for a little fresh air and not just social distancing.

Everyone has been inside way too long,” he said.

Wilson and the staff thought only of church member Jessica Sloan to write messages for the prayer walk. “Jessie jumped at the offer,” Wilson said. Sloan was a leader in Madison UMC’s youth group and currently is a sophomore industrial engineering student at Mississippi State University.

Each of the 11 stations has a theme: “Praise God,” “Trust God,” “Christ Is Savior,” “Repentance,” “Lament,” “Calming the Storm,” “Healing in Us,” “Healing in the World,” “God’s Promises,” “Surrender” and “Give Thanks.”

Sloan wrote the following excerpt for the “God’s Promises” station: “We can always cling to God’s promises. Our Lord is a God who keeps His promises. God is always going to be with us.”

Madison UMC’s staff prays that visitors will feel close to the Lord, especially when people might think He is distant.

“Intimacy with God is the height of the human experience,” Wilson said.

“We also hope it’s an experience that is calming and therapeutic. This has been an anxious several months.”

“We hope folks know we’re one of many churches in town where they can feel welcome and call their spiritual home. That’s our prayer, hope and vision for all,” Wilson said.

Currently, Madison UMC has a sanctuary service on Sundays at 9 a.m. with social distancing and masks. Children’s ministry will return at 9 a.m. on Nov. 1. “We’re in serious prayer and conversation about returning to our regular worship schedule of 8:30 and 10:45 a.m. after the first of the year, but that has not yet been decided,” he said.

located along Slaughter Road near the railroad crossing by the Huntsville Police Department.

The deceased was later identified as Michael Anthony Baker, 32 years old, of Huntsville.

According to MPD Major John Stringer, Madison Police Detectives learned that the shooting had occurred at an address on Larry Drive in Madison and developed a suspect, Jonathan Taylor Stephens, 38 years old, of Madison.

Stephens was at the Charles Motel in Meridianville, where he was taken into custody on Oct. 7 by members of the Madison County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force.

Stringer said MPD detectives learned that the victim and the suspect were known associates and the shooting was the result of an altercation between the two. Narcotics are suspected to be a factor.

Stephens is currently in the Madison County jail with a $150,000 bond.

MADISON – In her first venture into ‘pageant life,’ Linda Feres won the title of Ms. Senior Madison County Alabama 2020.

The Ms. Senior Alabama Pageant encourages senior citizens to step out of their comfort zone and share their talent and experiences.

Feres represented Madison County in the 34th annual Ms. Senior Alabama Pageant at Crossbridge Church in Birmingham on Sept. 12, 2020. Feres competed with nine other preliminary winners from Alabama.

Contestants are 60 years old minimum. Two other women, at least 80 years old, vied for Ms. Super Senior Alabama.

The winner, Dr. Cindy Dixon, will compete in the Ms. Senior World Pageant in Biloxi, Miss. on Nov. 6-10.

A friend’s friend, who is a pageant coach, approached Feres about entering the event. “I felt it was important to participate in a positive and happy event to show people that life does continue and there’s a bright light in an otherwise dark time,” Feres said. “Also, you’re never too old and it’s never too late to do something fun.”

During the pageant’s interview segment, she completed a five-minute question-and-answer session with judges. She treated this segment like a job interview.

For activewear, contestants chose outfits indicative of their casual side.

“I’m learning to swing dance, so I wore a ‘rockabilly’ swing dress,” Feres said. For the evening gown/poise segment, “judges seek a contestant whose taste, style, poise and grace best illustrate the ‘Age of Accomplishment.’ I wore a full-length Kelly green, open-sleeve

sequined evening gown.

I felt it was flattering and very elegant while a color not typically seen,” she said.

In lessons learned, Feres realized many accomplished women older than 60 are willing to share their experiences. “You better break in your show shoes well before the pageant or your feet will pay for it. Also, make-up for a pageant takes forever to put on,” she said.

Feres recommends the pageant experience to other women. “I am and have always been an executive or always working in the business world.

I never really had time to see the ‘feminine’ side of myself,” she said.

“To participate in a pageant like this, I had to reach down and find that beautiful me. Trust me, it was not an easy thing to do, but it made me see myself in a different (and foreign) light. I discovered I’m more than a business executive,” Feres said.

Feres is President/CEO of Linda Feres Enterprises LLC. Her children are Daniel Feres, 43, of Madison and Robert Feres, 42, of Arab. She has one grandson and three granddaughters.

“I love to learn so I read a lot, both fiction and non-fiction,” she said. “I write short stories and am currently gathering information to write a humorous book about travel experiences.”

“I recently got engaged to my longtime boyfriend, Mr. Richard (Joe) Ausfahl. He is a bagpipe player who plays for parades and other events,” Feres said.

Officials are seeking sponsors for the 2021 pageant. For information, visit Facebook/Ms. Senior Alabama Inc. Feres is available for appearances or speaking at events. Call 256-6033433 or email feres.linda@gmail.com.

MADISON WEATHER

By Steve Norris MADISON - Lovely weather coming for North Alabama through Thursday with high temperatures in the low 80s, another one of those beautiful October weeks.

A few scattered showers and thunderstorms return to the forecast Friday and Friday night, Sunday looks like the prettiest day of the weekend.

Much cooler weather is expected to return from the 27th through the 31st of October. A reader wanted to know what kind of weather is Indian summer, It is defined as warm, dry days along with clear and chilly nights and

it comes after the first frost and freeze of the season.

Halloween seems to be the holiday with the most extreme differences in temperature from year to year because it comes at the time of year when winter air masses are trying to push the warmer weather out of the country, so it depends on which one wins that day.

On Halloween of 2016 the temperature hit 88 degrees but on the other hand we had flurries and 29 degrees in 1993. The time change is coming soon as we set the clocks back one hour on November 1st. You can reach me anytime at weather1@charter.net.

the residents of Floyd E. ‘Tut’ Fann State Veterans Home in Huntsville.

“Please consider participating in this activity with your family or school, scout, church or other groups,” Madison Auxiliary President Jean Downs said.

Collection boxes are available at Madison Public Library, 142 Plaza Blvd.; Dream Hair and Body Care, 1591 Hughes Road; and 129 Bluff Spring Drive, off County Line Road across from James Clemens High School.

“Residents at Tut Fann have been shut out from the community, family and friends since the COVID-19 pandemic began,” Downs said. “The activity director at Tut Fann said the veterans really enjoy reading, and letters from people of all ages are especially appreciated.”

The Auxiliary Unit of Post 229 has engaged in numerous events to support the veterans at Tut Fann, including our Blankets for Veteran’s event before the pandemic started. “We are looking forward to continuing our support of monthly Bingo

with the residents and other activities after the visitation restrictions are lifted,” Downs said.

Deadline to drop off the greeting cards is Nov. 9.

For more information, call Downs at 256-929-8450 or email ALAux229@yahoo.com.

In another gesture of patriotism and respect, gravestone cleaning for veterans’ graves will be guided by Madison American Legion Auxiliary on Nov. 7. The event will begin at 11 a.m. and last until approximately 1 p.m.

“We will meet at the Madison Memory Gardens on Hughes Road (just north of City Hall) on the south end of the cemetery,” Downs said.

“Family members of all ages can participate in this event.”

The auxiliary will provide cleaning supplies.

“But we encourage participants to bring soft brushes and buckets if you have them. Masks will be required,” Downs said.

“We held our first ‘Cleaning of the Gravestones’ event last fall, and it was a very successful day. We cleaned about 30 grave markers in the old-

For a Veterans Day project, volunteer crews will clean headstones in Madison cemeteries on Nov. 7. est part of the Madison cemeteries on the south side of Mill Road. We had a wonderful turnout from our community last year and are looking forward to the same support this year.”

Auxiliary members have identified about 40 gravestones and markers to clean in Madison Memory Gardens cemetery

and another 25 that require cleaning in Madison Cemetery, which is north of Mill Road and south of City Hall. “There are also a few stones that the city has approved for us to replace properly at their sites,” Downs said.

The Yankee Lady will land in Meridianville on Sunday for the “Salute to Victory Tour”, a celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the end of WWII.

Historic World War II heavy bomber to visit Madison County

By STAFF REPORTS MERIDIANVILLE - Madison County will play host to a historic WWII exhibit this weekend. The Boeing B-17G “Yankee Lady,” will visit Huntsville Executive Airport on Sunday, Oct. 25, and will stay through Monday, Oct. 26. The crew is offering self-guided tours and Air Adventure rides. The estimated time of arrival is noon.

Yankee Lady is the same type

of legendary aircraft, commonly called a Flying Fortress, which helped end World War II by crippling the enemies’ ability to wage war.

Yankee Lady joined the United States Army Air Forces on July 16, 1945, shortly after Victory in Europe was declared. Yankee Lady is one of only ten airworthy B-17s in existence and none of these ever saw combat.

Self-guided ground tours cost

$8.00 for adults aged 15 and above; $3.00 for kids aged 6 to 15 and all others are free.

Air Adventure rides on the B-17 are available at 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. both Sunday and Monday. An Air Adventure ride is a 30-minute experience and costs $475.00.

To order a B-17 Air Adventure visit www.yankeeairmuseum.org and click on “Fly With Us.” Additional flight times may be added as customer demand warrants.

Snapshot BEER AND WINE FEST - The Rocket City Trash Pandas hosted their Beer & Wine Fest on Saturday at Toyota Field. The event featured an unlimited sampling of 40 local and national selections. In addition to tastings, guests were able to vote on their favorite beverages for the “Best Beer” and “Best Wine” awards at the end of the day. For information about upcoming events at Toyota Field, go to TrashPandasBaseball.com/ Events. Here are some fun photos from the event.

LIMESTONE COUNTY - One of the fastest-growing counties in the state needs to prepare roads and emergency services to handle its transformation, the two candidates in the Limestone County Commission District 2 race said.

The district includes part of the western end of Madison.

Danny Barksdale, winner of the Republican primary in March, and Democrat Roger Glen Williams will be on the Nov. 3 ballot for the roughly 20,000 registered voters in eastern Limestone’s District 2.

“I am committed to standing up for, and being a voice for, the people of District 2,” said Barksdale, who defeated twoterm incumbent Steve Turner in the primary.

“Far too often the people are overlooked in the political landscape. Politicians are more interested in unelected bureaucrats, special interest groups and big business than they are in serving the average citizens they are supposed to represent.

“I am not that kind of candidate and never will be.”

Williams said “tremendous changes” in Limestone County and other locations in north Alabama are affecting him, his family and his neighbors, with more than 700 new residential units approved in District 2 alone.

“Our commission has not properly addressed the impacts on streets and intersections, on protective services like police, fire, and health departments, on utilities, and on schools,” said Williams, a former union steward and supervisor, a job in which he said he learned to exercise authority fairly and effectively.

“We face a deteriorating quality of life, increased spending, or both,” Williams said. “I am running to correct what has happened, and to make sure it does not happen again.”

Barksdale said infrastructure is one of the biggest issues affecting the community’s future.

“Safe, well-built roads and bridges are not only important to the citizens of District 2, but are also vital to our ability to attract new jobs and new businesses to our area,” he said. “Roads across Limestone County can and should be improved.”

Barksdale said his

Barksdale

Williams

background in the private sector and business administration would be useful in bringing a fiscally responsible approach to county government.

He was a communication center specialist with the U.S. Army Security Agency, an accounts receivable clerk, staff accountant, credit manager, distribution sales manager and national accounts sales manager.

“I firmly believe we should be cutting wasteful spending instead of raising taxes, and that we should be balancing our budgets instead of adding more debt,” he said.

Barksdale said the county needs to be proactive in planning for the future.

“County government should not only stay ahead of our growing infrastructure needs, but also have a plan for our schools and other community services,” he said.

Williams said his first priority would be to address the impacts of growth that already are affecting District 2.

“I will study and prioritize the effects, and examine alternatives for responding to them,” he said. “We cannot wait while the problem gets worse.”

He also wants to make sure constituents get clear information about what the commission is doing and how decisions will affect them.

“Then I will listen to their concerns,” Williams said. “Only then will I act.”

He also plans to seek input from District 2 residents about the funding formulas used for distributing county spending in the districts.

Liberty Learning Foundation brings message of ‘American Character’ to Sparkman Middle

By GREGG PARKER Gregg.Parker@ madisoncountyrecord.com MADISON – For 2020, Liberty Learning Foundation adapted its curriculum approach for “The Next Great Americans Tour” because the COVID-19 pandemic has limited public gatherings, like auditoriums full of students.

Sparkman teachers helped with the video-led virtual kickoff.

The program provides civic education programs

and live experiences (when possible) that improve the child, community and country. With the community’s help, Liberty Learning Foundation donates groundbreaking resources, trains teachers, mobilizes volunteers and orchestrates emotionally charged events to teach, inspire and empower today’s youth (who are “our Next Great Americans”). (libertylearning.org) Liberty Learning’s educational experience normally features hundreds of students gathered to

cheer, sing and celebrate together. However, this year’s virtual kickoff delivered engagement and enthusiasm to help schools teach civics, character, history, financial literacy and careers, whether students watch inside smaller classrooms or in the safety of their own homes.

The American Character program creates an experience for students to understand the Great American story that helps them discover and define their role in America’s future.

Running tips for those wanting to hit the roads

By BOB LABBE bob0873@yahoo.com MADISON - Runners come in all shapes and sizes. For those who wish to run have to be patient and make small, consistent steps. Running is an excellent way to improve your physical and mental health.

Whether you wanting to keep up with your kids, run a mile without walking, finish a 5K or explore your local trails, understanding why you want to run will help you build healthy habits to keep you on track. Obtaining the correct knowledge of proper running techniques is also a must.

For those wishing to get started in the sport or as just a part of an exercise program, it’s most important to set a running agenda in the quest to succeed. Once the road to success has been mapped, have a good pair of running shoes that fit, are comfortable and establish your pace on the road to finish. For females, another very important piece of running gear is a good and supportive running bra. Both pieces of gear will easily set your best efforts forward to meeting the goals each runner sets before taking that first big step.

Experts’ first piece of advice for any beginner runner is simple- start slowly.

Many make the mistake of trying to run too much, too soon and a percentage of those wind up quitting because they’re discouraged by their progress or have suffered an aggravating injury.

A British Journal of General Practice study of runners in this setting indicated it takes roughly 66 days to establish a healthy habit of exercising and feeling of making progress.

Those experts within the sport also caution for each runner to converse with their physician, especially if you have a pre-existing health condition if jumping into heavy exercise is something completely new or has been a long layoff between exercising regimens.

Any experienced runner will tell you to walk before you run. Start by walking up to 30 minutes on a regular basis and then gradually make your way to some running. At the beginning, a run-walk regimen is perfect for your body to acclimate to the workouts. It’s best to exercise for longer periods instead of quick and short spurts, as many times runners suffer burnout too soon.

Once your regimen is set and the correct gear is obtained, stay hydrated and properly fuel your body. Water and the proper nutrition will enable your body to operate at full capacity and operate on the same level as a well-oiled machine.

Drink plenty of fluids, preferably water, after each workout.

For the more serious undertakers of running, it is wise to keep a runners journal and track your workouts and your progress to meeting those set goals.

For most novice runners, facing the challenging hills can spell defeat if you are looking at big hills without knowing what to do. Hills are merely resistance training. The hills build muscles in almost every area of the legs and glutes.

The technique for running up hills is simple- lean forward, use your arms and run more on the toes. Shorten your stride. Running hills helps build speed, which translates to faster times on flat terrain.

The longer nights we are currently having present more chances of having

Running is a perfect way of physical and mental stability. The great form of exercise can be used at any time and does not have to include someone other than yourself. to fulfill that exercise fix. The most important aspect of running in the dark is to wear reflective clothing and have a real light source to be seen by others.

You can choose from several options such as a vest, clip on light or even a head lamp.

Make sure you tell someone of the route you will run and try to carry a cellphone should an emergency arise. Don’t wear headphones or music earplugs as they easily distract you from your surroundings, which can cause problems, possibly disaster.

Most runners, even the more experienced trailblazers, are not up-to-date on knowing the lifespan of a running shoe.

Fleet Feet Sports of Huntsville, and soon to have a Madison location, provides lots of educational material on inspecting your shoes and when to dump

your shoes for a new pair. The experts at Fleet Feet Sports call it “shoe death.”

The majority of the time shoes can be determined to have lived its life by their appearance.

Tears of seams are a major issue as inside the shoes should be free of tears, dirt and just the usual telltales, which can send an alarm about worn out running shoes. An additional sign of “shoe death” is pain. Each pair of shoes, every runner and each race course have a play in how long shoes will last. If your shoes look worn out or feel worn out, get new ones.

Know your goals, set a program regimen and utilize the correct equipment for a fun and rewarding run for better overall health.

Volleyball ment, the Patriots of Bob Jones beat Florence and Austin defeated James Clemens in first round action and advanced to the area finals.

In the championship round, eighth ranked Bob Jones (27-17) cruised to a three-game title match over Austin (17-27) 25-11, 25-17, 27-25 and now will face Area 6 runner-up and seventh ranked Vestavia Hills at the Super Regional.

In the 5-A Area 15 matchup at Lawrence County High, Madison Academy rolled to a three-game sweep

over Russellville before facing the top-seeded Red Devils of Lawrence County.

The two volleyball powerhouses thrilled the attending crowd with a five-game heavyweight like battle as Lawrence County (39-10) defeated the Lady Mustangs 25-22, 21-25, 2426, 27-25, 15-12 in what by many accounts was the most exciting match of the season in North Alabama. No more than four points separated the two experienced squads and both will well represent their respective

schools in the next step to the State Tournament.

The AHSAA State Tournament will be held at the CrossPlex in Birmingham Oct. 27-29. COVID-19 regulations will be in place for attendees, especially the fans. Eight teams in each classification will be placed in the tournament brackets. Admission will be $10 per day, per person.

State finals in Class 5-A will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Oct. 28 while the finals of the 7-A classification will hit the court at 4:00 p.m. on Oct. 29.

“The purpose of the Return to Play has always been to offer AHSAA member schools best practices in order to commence those athletic seasons as scheduled and as safely as possible,” said Steve Savarese, AHSAA Executive Director. “Among the fall sports championships changes was establishing a sub-regional round for volleyball teams advancing beyond area play. Attendance will be limited at the Super Regional and State Tournament venues.”

For the upcoming football playoffs, which get

underway Nov. 6, attendance will be restricted to 33-percent of the venue.

The Super 7 Championships at the University of Alabama’s Bryant-Denny has set a limit to 7,200 per session of the seven classification title games.

One important decision that affects many of the local schools and its athletes is the fact the AHSAA has moved the scheduled Swimming and Diving State Championships from Auburn University to the much larger Huntsville Aquatic Center to better accommodate attendance and social distancing. This year, Sectional Meets will not be held. The move was made

to the Huntsville location on Drake Avenue to accommodate for the number of athletes and the expected high attendance.

The State Meet is set for Dec. 4-5.

The State Cross Country Championships at Oakville Indian Mounds State Park will include tickets being available onsite only.

One additional move by the AHSAA is the state’s oldest all-star game has found a new home. The annual North-South All-Star Football Classic will move from Montgomery to Mobile for the next three years beginning with this year’s Dec. 18 game.

The 62nd annual contest

along with 2021 and 2022 games will be played at the University of South Alabama’s (USA) Hancock Whitney Stadium. The 25,000-seat stadium, which opened this season, is the home of the USA Jaguars.

The Classic is part of the All-Star Sports Week and was played at Montgomery’s Cramton Bowl from 1997-2004 and was moved to Troy University and Alabama A&M University before coming back to the Capital City in 2011.

The teams for the Dec. 18 game are expected to be announced next week as the game was postponed from its usual July format due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Gio Lopez celebrates after a James Clemens touchdown.

Jets stay alive in hunt for Region crown with OT win over Sparkman MADISON - Gio Lopez had another big night Friday as the James Clemens Jets scored a huge win in their quest for another Class 7A, Region 4 crown.

Lopez’ 10-yard run into the end zone in overtime ended a 13-9 nail-bitter with Sparkman at Madison City Stadium.

James Clemens (7-2, 5-1) and Austin are tied for first place in the region going into the final week of region play. The Black

Bears hold the head-to-head tiebreaker. Sparkman (4-4, 4-2) could have taken over first place with a victory over the Jets, but instead slipped to fourth.

The Jets scored first over Sparkman with a 9-yard run in the first quarter by Aaron Boone. That was not answered until the third quarter with a 10-yard run by Nick Sawyer to even the score.

The Senators missed a 37-yard field goal in overtime but got a safety when a James Clemens player picked up the loose ball in the

end zone and was tackled.

That was followed by Lopez’s run into the end zone to win the game.

Lopez had 16 carries for 84 yards and the winning touchdown. Boone had seven carries for 22 yards and a touchdown. Ephraim Rolingson intercepted a pass.

For the Senators’ Sawyer had 10 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown. Clifton Shaw had 29 carries for 106 yards.

In addition to funding digital resources, the Foundation gifted each branch $1000 to purchase print books.

374847-1

HUNTSVILLE - The Huntsville Library Foundation (HLF) announced Monday that it exceeded its fundraising goal for its 34th annual Vive le Livre fundraiser and raised over $130,000, which will fund the library system’s digital resources for one year.

The HLF did not host an in-person event this year, but rather, appealed to its supporters to donate in support of the Library.

“Like so many other organizations, the Library faced budget cuts in the midst of the pandemic as the demand for digital re-

license,” explained Cindy Hewitt, Interim Deputy Director. “When you purchase a print book, it is in your collection until it becomes worn down. With e-books, you pay an average of $50-80 to keep it for a short time. We want to be able to offer more to our patrons and are so thankful to the Foundation for raising the money to make this possible.”

When the pandemic hit the area in March, the Library signed up for a high-demand service called Hoopla Digital, which gives Library cardholders access to e-books, audiobooks, movies, tele-

sources increased dramatically,” said Meg Weaver, HLF Chairperson. “We were so humbled and excited by the response we received from our supporters with this new format.”

Thanks to donors such as the The James Cecil & Margaret Ashburn Foundation. Redstone Federal Credit Union, Jerry Damson Honda Acura, and so many more, the Library will be able to fully fund the Digital Media Zone and Hoopla Digital for one year.

“Digital resources are unlike print books, in that they cost almost twice as much for a one to two year

MADISON - The North Alabama area has been pining for a Trader Joe’s for over a decade, with many Madison residents crossing every finger and toe that it would someday be announced as “coming soon” to our community.

On Wednesday afternoon, Mayor of Huntsville Tommy Battle announced during his virtual “State of the City” address that a Trader Joe’s location is officially coming to Huntsville and will be located in the MidCity District.

Though this means that Madison likely won’t see its owner Trader Joe’s location for a few more years (don’t quote me on that!), this does mean that a location is now within just three miles from the eastern border of our city limits. Three cheers!

Mayor of Huntsville Tommy Battle announced during his virtual “State of the City” address that a Trader Joe’s location is officially coming to Huntsville and will be located in the MidCity District.

Trader Joe’s PR Director Kenya Friend-Daniel shared with All Things Madison that this location is in its earliest stages of development but has high hopes of opening sometime next fall 2021.

She also shared that the store is expected to be 12,500 sq. ft, which is on the larger side of other Trader Joe’s facilities. Locations around the country typically fall between 8,000-15,000 sq. ft.

To put this store size into perspective, it’s about 2,000 sq. ft. larger than the average Walgreen’s.

It’s not surprising that Trader Joe’s finally decided to bring a location to Huntsville considering the city is predicted to be the largest in the state by 2025.

Huntsville alone boasts a population of roughly 180,000 residents.

In comparison, Madison is sitting around 53,000 residents and is currently the 10th largest city population-wise in the state.

The City of Madison’s official website has a section called “Bring it to Madison”, which lists businesses that residents really want to see come to our area. It also has a section where residents can request businesses. For years, Trader Joe’s has been the most requested business.

I’ve personally shopped in these stores around the country during our military moves and travels, and I join the masses when I say that this announcement is worthy of our excitement, Madison.

Though Trader Joe’s won’t ultimately contrib-

ute to Madison’s tax dollars and grow our city economically in a direct way, it will continue to boost our interest value. Madison is right around the corner from Mid City.

Those who are considering moving here from larger cities will see that our area has many of the perks they are used to, and those who are moving here from smaller cities will see that Madison possesses a small-town feel with bigger city perks just around the corner.

The greater number of people that want to move here and call Madison home means that our property values will continue to stay high, even steadily rise. This is a win/win for all, or at least that’s the way I see it.

Guess Who I Know?

By BECKY MILLER God’s Lemonade Stand Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3 NIV Bible Gateway

Spray two loaf pans liberally with baking spray.

Divide Homestead Banana Bread batter evenly among loaf pans.

By CHRISTY JORDAN Southernplate.com (From Sept. 2019)

I can never have too many varieties of Banana Bread in my life and so today, I’m bringing you another recipe for another one of my favorites: Homestead Banana Bread. This Banana Bread is one of the most tender crumbed and flavorful ones you’ll find, thanks to the incorporation of an entire brick of cream cheese within the batter itself. It steps further into bliss with the deliciously wonderful topping of seasonal spices and toasted pecans.

No matter how recently you’ve made banana bread, Homestead Banana Bread is calling your name! I encourage you to print out the recipe today and keep it close at hand for the next time the baking bug bites ya.

I have this little book of random questions, journaling prompts that I use when I need a little inspiration about what to write about. I’m big on keeping a journal. I think most adults need this but, in absence of it, they use facebook to record thoughts and feelings that are best sorted out in a journal. That’s how you end up with the culture we have today and that culture is what keeps me motivated to write a journal!

Today’s journal question was “What is the life you’d have it nothing stood in your way?”. My brain immediately brought this life to mind, clear as a bell. Away from the world, on a wooded mountain, with a cabin, and trees, and peace. My family, my Bibles, my notebooks, and my pens. Rocking chair on the porch and time outside going for walks to gather my thoughts and returning to that rocking chair to write them out.

In between this I’d be in the kitchen cooking up heartwarming meals and after that I’d be back on that porch, sitting beside Ricky with cups of coffee, growing our wisdom together.

But the thing about scenarios like that is that we will never have an ideal scenario. Unfortunately, without even realizing it, many of us

take an “ideal or nothing” approach to enjoying our lives. This is a tragic way to live.

There is a photography term known as the bokeh effect. The result of this effect is that a portion of the photo is in tight focus and the rest of the picture is blurred. All you see is what you are focused on. Sadly, I think a lot of our lives end up lost in the blur when we focus on the hope for perfection. But if we adjust our focus, pull out of the shot a bit, and look at the whole picture we are generally surprised by how much beauty is in the scene that may have been entirely overlooked.

And so rather than waiting for the perfect future that my brain conjures up- I widen my focus, realizing that this very day, where I am right now, I can grab my Bibles and notebooks and pens an walk out onto my back porch, look up and pine trees and process my thoughts. The only thing keeping us from living our dreams on most days is a realization of how much of that dream for the future already exists in the blessings of the present.

To make this, you’ll need: butter, cream cheese, sugar, eggs, self rising flour, bananas, chopped pecans, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves.

Now, unlike my cream cheese filled banana bread with a ribbon of cream cheese inside it, this cream cheese is going to become part of our batter. By incorporating it into the batter, we’ll end up with a much more tender and flavorful banana bread.

Note: It is incredibly important that your cream cheese and butter be at room temp so they will blend in well. I usually just sit them on the counter at night before going to bed and make Homestead Banana Bread in the morning.

For the topping you’ll also need brown sugar, more butter, and a wee bit of flour (all purpose or plain is fine). Go ahead and stir these together until they look like this: Set that aside and we’ll use it in a minute. Now, let’s make our batter.

Place butter and cream cheese in mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer until well blended and fluffy.

Add eggs and sugar and beat again

until mixed. Add in flour, bananas, 1 cup of chopped pecans, and spices.

Mix until fully incorporated. Bananas will still have some chunks and batter will be thick.

Spray two loaf pans liberally with baking spray. Divide Homestead Banana Bread batter evenly among loaf pans.

Sprinkle the topping over the batter in each pan.

Sprinkle with remaining pecans.

Bake 350 at one hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, covering with foil after 30 minutes to prevent pecans from burning.

I hope you get to make this soon.

Ingredients 3/4 cup butter at room temp 8 ounces cream cheese at room temp 2 cups sugar 2 large eggs 3 cups self rising flour 4 medium ripe bananas 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon allspice 1/4 teaspoon cloves Topping 1/2 cup brown sugar dark or light, your preference 2 tablespoons softened butter 2 tablespoons flour plain or self rising is fine Instructions In small bowl, stir together topping ingredients and set aside.

Place butter and cream cheese in mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer until well blended and fluffy.

Add eggs and sugar and beat again until mixed. Add in flour, bananas, 1 cup of chopped pecans, and spices.

Mix until fully incorporated. Bananas will still have some chunks and batter will be thick.

Spray two 9x5 loaf pans liberally with baking spray. Divide mixture evenly among loaf pans. Sprinkle with topping mixture and remaining pecans.

Bake 350 at one hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, covering with foil after 30 minutes to prevent pecans from burning. Allow to cool in pan for ten minutes before turning out. Enjoy!

French Onion Soup Restaurant Style made easy This french onion soup recipe I’m sharing with you today is simple, easy, and probably one of the most flavorful soups you’ve ever tasted.

The most work you have to do is brown and caramelize your onions but other than that, it’s just a matter of stirring a pot. I love this beefy flavored soup and know you will, too.

Ingredients 1/4 cup unsalted butter 1/2 of a stick 2 cups sweet yellow onions diced 1 teaspoon dried Basil optional, but good!

1 package Au Jus Gravy Mix 1 ounce 3 cups water Optional for topping 4 slices baguette bread toasted 1 cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions In medium sauce pot, melt butter over medium high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until caramelized and lightly browned, about 20 minutes. If you’d like, stir in dried basil and cook a minute or two more.

In 2 cup measuring cup, add 1 cup cold water and packet of gravy mix.

Stir vigorously with a fork until well combined and smooth. Pour into pot along with remaining 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil while stirring often.

Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer about five minutes. Serve immediately or follow instructions below if you’d like to serve it restaurant style.

Optional Restaurant style instructions: Divide soup among four oven

A few years ago one of my hobbies was collecting autographed celebrity photos. Most of those people I never actually met but wrote to an agents office to see if I could get one. Never paid anything aside from the cost of a stamp.

It’s funny how we humans get excited about famous people. Not everyone does but it depends on how you were raised if you were mesmerized by fame even a local news personality. One time I was approached at a local restaurant in Huntsville, Alabama to inquire as to if I were the candle maker at nearby tourist attraction Constitution Village. Made me chuckle. We are all just people and each of us puts on our pants the same way some may just be more expensive pants.

More important than all these well known people who have people clamoring to get photos is the King of kings. Do you know Him? Would you run to get on the front row if He were speaking at a prayer rally in Washington DC? Sort of humorous to think of that but ‘mere men’ who just happen to be well known are still just people. And Jesus is humble so he would not like the idea of everyone wanting a piece of Him unless it was to bow at his feet for worship. So friend decide who it is you want to worship and idolize.

PRAYER: I am grateful for people I have caught a glimpse of that society deems as celebrities but even more than that is my relationship with you Lord.

May I never idolize anything more than you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The history of 300 Church Street

By JOHN P. RANKIN Madison Historian

MADISON - Research into the history of the house at 300 Church Street has posed somewhat of an enigma when using only the usual resources. Census records were normal, but the land records leave a mystery about when and how William Ligon Hafley came to own the house and lot at 300 Church Street.

However, that is apparently an indication that the Hafley family lived elsewhere until after 1919.

The land deed and tax records up to 1920 are all in the writer’s home computer, and the deeds from 1991 to current times are on-line. But the period of 1920 to 1990 are only accessible for research in person at the courthouse or the Madison County Records Center archive.

There is a record (deed) for William’s wife Sarah E. Russell Hafley purchasing in her own name a house and lot south of what is today called Arnett Street. That Hafley residence, purchased on June 12, 1882, was apparently on the east side of today’s Buttermilk Alley, west of the United Methodist Church.

Eliza C. Allen had lived there, but her house burned, so she sold the lot to Sarah Hafley. The lot is described in Deed Book VVV on page 495 as including the current residence of Sarah Hafley, located between the lots of Dr. George Richard Sullivan and James Alexander Humphrey. It is known that later the Humphrey residence was at 206 Church Street, but other land records show that Humphrey had also purchased a lot southwest of the church.

This unexpected location of the Hafley residence in 1882 led to some confusion for two reasons.

One reason is that long-time Madison residents of the 1900s (such as historians Percy Brooks “Toots” Keel and Gladys Naomi McFarlen True) wrote accounts that the Hafley family lived in the house at 300 Church Street.

The second reason for initial confusion is that while checking for deeds to the 300 Church Street property, there was not a deed recorded before 1920 for the Hafley purchase at that location.

However, the accounts of Percy

and Gladys (both personally well known by the writer, but now deceased) are totally trustworthy, as they both overlapped the lifetimes of the Hafleys who lived in the house. The Hafley purchase must have occurred a bit after 1919.

Gladys moved to Madison from Trenton in Jackson County as a young and newly married adult on February 14, 1933. Percy came to Madison with his mother Viola and his brother Ralph (“Buddy”) to operate the Madison Telephone Company switchboard in 1939.

Back then, pretty much everyone who lived in Madison knew one another and probably saw each other just about every day.

In her two books about the history of Madison, Gladys even mentioned knowing and observing for years Ellie and Lellie, the two oldest children of William L. Hafley.

The Hafley daughters were somewhat older than Gladys, so Gladys would not have been aware of any earlier residences of the Hafley family in Madison.

Still, since her last book (“Reflections”) was prepared in her old age with very poor eyesight, Gladys apparently did not correctly identify a photo on page 95 of the house of Dr. William Pride (later owned by Chuck Bashore).

That photo depicts an older view of the Pride-Bashore house at 320 Martin Street, but the caption states that it is the Hafley house at 300 Church Street. The caption further incorrectly states that the Hafley house at 300 Church Street was constructed by George Hafley in 1919.

There was a George Hafley purchasing property in Madison County during that time, but not at 300 Church Street. In fact, George purchased from James Bronaugh a lot on Martin Street in Madison in 1916. In 1918 he bought from J. P. Farley land in Sections 15, 22, and 23 of Township 4, Range 2W near Madison, but not in Madison. In that same year he also purchased from E. B. Morring and others another parcel on Martin Street. There has been no other record of any type found for a George Hafley or any connection to the family of William L. Hafley.

Page 94 of Gladys’ book shows a later photo (circa 1990) of the

Pride-Bashore house at 320 Martin Street, with an appropriate caption. Page 98 depicts the Hafley house at 300 Church Street, but the caption is for the PrideBashore house. Such problems are easily understood when one knew Gladys and how this particular book was prepared in spite of her physical and eyesight limitations of the time. Her mental capacities were not diminished, but macular degeneration late in life devastated her eyesight. She was a great historian, a great lady, and she is greatly missed still today.

William L. Hafley first appears in the historical records in the census of 1850, when he was listed as age 1 in the household of his father James M. Hafley in Triana.

James was listed in 1850 as age 33, born in Tennessee. His wife Martha Ann, the mother of William, was shown as age 23, born in Alabama. Research in Family Search reveals her to have been a daughter of James and Alesey Atkinson. Tombstone data shows Martha A. Hafley as having passed away at age 26 years, 4 months, and 16 days on July 25, 1853 (about three years after William’s birth). William himself lived until 1928. The 1850 household of James Hafley included Ransom H, Hafley (age 24, b. TN) and John H. Hafley (22, TN), both were brothers of James, therefore uncles of William.

Further research showed that Ransom was born October 10 of 1823 and died May 3 of 1888. He had a wife named Clarinda who is buried with him. She was born in 1833 and died in 1880. It was also found that Ransom Hafley was one of five defendants in an 1853 Circuit Court Case 397 brought by the state of Alabama with respect to a gambling charge back in 1851.

However, the witnesses failed to appear to testify in subsequent court appearances. The witnesses were fined $100 each for their failure to appear, and the defendants were found not guilty and discharged for lack of supporting evidence.

Ransom also filed Circuit Court Cases 4573 and 4574 in 1858 against Samuel Ragland for failure to pay him a promised fee of $1,000 for construction of a (cotton) gin house and scaffolding in 1854.

The Hafley House

The Hafley House today

George Washington Wise (center), merchant and son-in-law of Madison’s first merchant, at his store that was located just east of the old Hafley House Hotel along Main Street.

After a few months in court hearings, both cases were dismissed by mutual consent. It was not recorded as to why the

dismissals were agreed upon.
