A memorial ceremony was held Saturday at the DeKalb County Schools Coliseum to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the deadly tornado outbreak that struck DeKalb County on April 27, 2011.
Due to weather conditions, the ceremony, originally scheduled to take place at the site of the Rainsville Tornado Memorial and Serenity Gardens was moved inside the coliseum.
âWe are here today for a celebration of life as well as a time to remember our friends and loved ones we lost on that awful day of April 27, 2011, not only DeKalb County but the state of Alabama as well,â said Stanley Sims, a member of the memorial committee.
The Rainsville City Council on Monday night approved rescheduling the cityâs annual spring cleanup month to begin Friday, May 28 through Wednesday, June 30, 2021.
The council approved the purchase of five 20-yard dumpsters at the cost of $27,315.00 scheduled to be delivered around May 19.
As a result, Councilman Ricky Byrum suggested pushing forward their annual spring clean-up month to allow time for the new dumpsters to arrive. Following a brief discussion, the council unanimously approved the move to begin on May 28.
âWe use those for our clean-up,â he said. âWe have so many out right now I am not sure that we will have enough for the clean-up.â
