Ivy Creek Healthcare officially cut the ribbon on a new family medicine practice, Still Waters Family Medicine, Friday. The new facility is at the main entrance to Still Waters. Below, Laura Ryals Daniel shows CEO Mike Bruce an exam room at the center.
While there has been plenty of talk about city elections and who will or won’t be in the races for mayor and council seats, there will be much more decided on Aug. 23 than who will lead area municipalities. In Dadeville, Alexander City and New Site voters will be able to vote on whether they wish to allow the sale of alcohol on Sunday when they go to the polls. City clerks in all three municipalities confirmed that Sunday alcohol sales will be on the ballot during the municipal election. “A vote of the people would be the ultimate public hearing on the matter,” said Dadeville City Council member Mickey Tarpley at the time that the council passed the resolution allowing a vote.

Less than two weeks after a double lung transplant, Tallapoosa County’s Ashley Bunn is in a step-down unit at Duke University Medical Center and is posting her own updates. “Monday was the first update she posted to Facebook herself,” said Ashley Benton who has been working with family and others to help coordinate fundraising efforts. “I talked to her last
night on the phone and she sounded a little stronger. She is breathing 100 percent on her on. Every test they have done has been great.” Bunn is making great progress on the road to recovery. “She is now in a step-down unit,” Benton said. “She continues to do her therapy and has graduated to a new walker. She is averaging six to eight laps a day around the unit and that is good.
