“It’s exciting,’ said 9-year-old Ethan Walker. “I’m glad I was able to get her out.”
The ordeal happened Jan. 7 when, about 1:30 p.m., Kristin Walker was putting gas into her vehicle in the area of U.S. 411 and Interstate 20. Her two small children – Ethan and 6-year-old daughter Audrey – were in the back seat. At that point, a man got out of a Chevrolet SUV which had been parked at a pump near the victim and jumped into the driver’s seat of the woman’s vehicle.

MOODY – At a regular meeting at Moody City Hall on Monday, Jan. 11, the city council authorized payment for an extensive sewer project and announced the location for a COVID-19 vaccination clinic.
The council heard from city attorney James Hill regarding an ongoing $700,000 sewer project being managed by Gusc to replace the main line through the city.

“It’s a change from an eight-inch line to a twelve-inch line,” he said. “And it runs from the crossroads to ADESA. It’s the main line that supplies our plant and so it was a lot of infiltration in the line and we were using a lot of our capacity of water and so that’s why we decided to replace it.”

is 2020. At least that’s how most of us see it. It’s impacted literally every person on the planet, let alone Alabama. And it touched nearly every major story and image we captured.
The pandemic compounded with the death of George Floyd that sparked nationwide protests and rallies for social justice during the summer gave us images we’ll never forget, even if we wish we could. In spite of it, life went on. Sports, graduations, restaurants, churches, elections and other aspects of our daily lives attempted to carry on. Its own disaster, the virus could not stop hurricanes and tornadoes that
