ENGINEERING SUCCESS Hartselle High’s engineering program builds successful students STORY BY LAUREN LEE PHOTOS BY RACHEL HOWARD

Whether it’s designing thermostat covers for the high school, creating and testing biodiesel or testing the alloys in metals, students in the Hartselle High’s Engineering Academy can often be found participating in hands-on learning projects. The program that started with 10 students in 2009, has now grown to include approximately 300 students every year and has expanded to five classes. Kim Pittman helped start the program after working in the engineering field for nine years, and says it’s an excellent entry for students interested in pursuing careers in engineering. In addition to learning the basics, she says the program allows students to study and work with some of the top professionals in the industry. Students also have the opportunity to earn dual enrollment credits and become certified – all before graduating from high school. “In those CAD classes, they also get industry certification as well that they can add to their resume. So every year we have students that get jobs – either summer internships or jobs throughout the year where they are able to use that CAD certification,” Pittman said. Amber Roy is another instructor in the Engineering Academy, and said that it’s a great opportunity for students to test the waters before committing to expensive and timely classes in college.

WE GET YOU BACK TO LIFE… BACK TO WORK… BACK TO LIVING!

“Just seeing them not waste their time is rewarding. A lot of times kids will change their degree or change their major multiple times because they just don’t know until they get there and experience it,” Roy said. “So at this level we are able to help tailor things to their interests. They may have wanted to be an electrical engineer, but when they have the opportunity to work hands-on and do the thinking that goes along with an electrical engineering background and discipline they will go oh this is not for me, this is not what I thought it was. So they are able to plan for their future.” While many students in the program continue on to college to study various engineering disciplines, some enter directly into the workforce.

Pittman shares similar sentiments and says the engineering field offers reliable and sustainable income for students with a four-year degree. “It’s the highest paid four-year degree. If you look at the top five degrees as far as pay, they are all engineering degrees. It’s that immediate payoff for what you do. If you have the skills that you need to be successful for engineering, which is the thought process and the math skills, the payout is immediate and it’s lucrative if you enjoy what you’re doing,” Pittman said. Perhaps one of the most exciting aspects of the program is the opportunity to learn through doing. Students have ample opportunity to explore projects with 3D printing and also have the chance to work on a NASA project. “They design a payload for a real NASA mission and that’s through a program called InSPIRESS through the University at Alabama in Huntsville. So that is a semester-long project that they work which helps them interact and present to NASA and UAH scientists and engineers,” Pittman added, Beyond the hands-on learning opportunities students have the chance to partake in competitions and for the first time this year will visit Disney’s Imagineering Studio. “We were accepted into the Imagineering Campus for the first time. So we are going to be able to go behind the scenes for Disney. They will do physics at Disney, they will do technology design at the parks. That is another application that we are going to have for our upperclassmen, and it is a brilliant opportunity for these students,” Pittman said.

“We have plenty of students that go into more technical routes. They may do the FAME program through Calhoun and be manufacturing technicians or Lockheed Martin has a program called AMTAP, so those types of technical programs we see a lot of kids in those areas as well. We definitely give them what they need for college success in engineering, but we also do a lot of hands-on in the process. It works well for students that may just go straight into the workforce or like a two year college program as well,” Pittman said. Despite its success in preparing students for life after high school, the Engineering Academy is constantly undergoing changes and improvements. In addition to performing interviews of graduating students to survey the program, the academy is served by an advisory board made up of engineering professionals. “We would love to have more female participation on the program – that is something we have been trying to target for a while. We also want to establish a class at the junior high to maybe increase interest at the junior high level – a course that’s pre-engineering that would then feed into us. Those are two things that we are working on for our program because we are always looking at ways to make the program better,” Pittman said. Being led by two successful female engineering professionals, the program serves as a great example for girls considering a career in the industry. For Roy, the draw of engineering comes from being able to work with her hands. “A lot of women like to be hands-on and so it gave me an avenue to actually use those hands-on skills and get the pay that I wanted in the career field,” she said.

Dreams and visions are brought to fruition in all sorts of ways, and for Lawrence Fuqua who had closed his restaurant called Grandma’s Kitchen and worked for a variety of food service companies, the dream of going back into business for himself was realized while eating Sunday dinner with his family after church in Rogersville. “We were in there eating and the guy started locking up. My dad asked if he was closing early and he said, ‘No, I’m done. This is getting too hard to deal with so I’m closing for good,’” Fuqua said. After some prompting and encouragement from his father, Fuqua decided that maybe this was his opportunity for a second chance. A few days later he was making phone calls and arrangements to take over the lease for the restaurant down the street from his father’s church. This was the birth of Fuqua’s Southern Soul Food, which opened five years ago. Fuqua and his team battled Covid to stay open, offering carry out and curbside service just to stay in business. “I had a lot of people who were committed to being there customer wise. Every Sunday we would take

their food out to their car, so once Covid kind of fell off we got back to everything, this last year has really been a blessing and allowed us to grow and be able to expand into Hartselle.” The initial seed of Fuqua’s opening a location in Hartselle was prompted by another chance encounter when Life Church Pastor Brad Sheats was eating at the Rogersville location and asked if Fuqua had ever considered opening a restaurant in Hartselle. “His son was playing a tournament in Lauderdale County and he was kind of talking about Hartselle,” Fuqua said. “Ever since then he has been trying to find something in Hartselle.” Two buildings became open around the same time, and Fuqua had a big decision to make. Ultimately, he decided to open his Hartselle location in what had previously been Las Vias on Nance Ford Road. “At first I was a little skeptical because it’s a little bit off the beaten path and I was looking to move downtown, but we ended up over here and it’s been great. We do a lot of catering and weddings and stuff. It’s been great,” he said. Fuqua credits the support of his family with the success of both locations, with his parents running things at the Rogersville location and his aunt helping run things in Hartselle. While the options for the type of food Fuqua would serve were limitless, he says that he chose soul food because of the need for real food to be served at restaurants. “A lot of the old timey Grandma and Grandpa ways of sitting on the porch picking beans and turnip greens doesn’t exist anymore,” Fuqua said. “And now the younger generation doesn’t know how to do that. So I just wanted to be able to provide real

food where when people come in and sit down they’re able to say that it reminds them of being at Grandma’s house at Christmas.” Ultimately Fuqua says his vision is for customers to come into his Fuqua’s Southern Soul Food hungry and leave better, no matter what kind of day they’re having. “If you come there we’re going to do our best to make sure you leave happy. During the summer time we try to use garden vegetables. When you sit down to eat I want you to feel like you’re sitting down at your grandparents house. I just want to kind of take you back in time to enjoy good food,” he said. “I’m originally from Town Creek but my wife is from Hartselle so we moved here to be closer to her family 25 years ago. I like the town; it’s a nice, quiet, peaceful town. A nice place to bring kids up. And Hartselle has been really receptive to us. I didn’t expect the business flow to be what it is. I knew we would be busier than what I have in Rogersville volume wise, but this has been phenomenal. A lot of people have poured into us coming here and greeting us with open arms. That’s what’s made this restaurant special to me,” he added.

“WRECK THE HALLS” By Tessa Bailey

Years ago, the all-female rock band The Steel Birds broke up because of a feud among the band members. Now, a TV producer is willing to pay the children of the band members a lot of money to stage a reunion on live television. The promise of money brings Melody Gallard out of the shadows. Melody has been trying to live a normal life since the breakup of the band. Also, she’s been avoiding the lead singer’s son Beat Dawkins. With money on the line, she has to return to the spotlight and get Beat’s help in reuniting their mothers’ band. Maybe a Christmas miracle will happen and more than just the band will successfully reunite.

Winnie Baker is the picture-perfect actress that Hollywood loves casting in wholesome Christmas movies for the Hope Channel. However, she is tired of everyone thinking that she is perfect. To change their perception of her, she joins the cast of the first ever, less than wholesome movie about Santa for the Hope Channel’s new line-up called Hope After Dark. This movie is just the right amount of spice to break her good girl image. If the movie itself isn’t enough, starring alongside Kallum Lieberman will be the final straw. Kallum is currently dealing with a public image nightmare after a video of him with a bridesmaid at a wedding goes viral. They both need this movie and what it can do for their public image.

SHINING BRIGHT

Hartselle’s inclusive rec league empowers all on the softball field STORY BY REBEKAH YANCEY PHOTOS BY RACHEL HOWARD

In the heart of Hartselle, there’s a remarkable program that’s making a world of difference in the lives of children and adults with special needs. The Hartselle Shining Stars, a therapeutic initiative offered by Hartselle Parks and Recreation, is illuminating the community with its mission to enhance the quality of life for individuals facing physical and intellectual challenges. The Shining Stars program is more than just a recreational outlet; it’s a beacon of hope and inclusivity in a world that often falls short of recognizing the unique abilities and potential of every individual. With a focus on acceptance, respect and a nurturing, noncompetitive environment, this program is a lifeline for many. Staci Wells recently retired from the City of Hartselle after nearly 30 years. She remains the director of the program that will soon expand to Decatur, and hopefully, beyond. The Shining Stars, Wells said, got started thanks to her son Sawyer McCormick, who now volunteers for the league. “Sawyer didn’t have anything to do and here I was in recreation, so I got to work trying to find a way to provide a program for kids like him,” Wells said. “At the time, Sparkman School had a spring softball league, so we started one in the fall. That’s how we got started.” Dedicated to individuals aged six years old and older, the Shining Stars program provides opportunities for the participants to engage in activities and sports leagues tailored to their needs and preferences. Currently, participants can enjoy basketball, softball and bowling leagues, offering them a chance to explore their physical abilities and build camaraderie with their peers.

What is an

Ultrasound?

Ultrasound imaging uses high-frequency sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body to determine your overall health. It does not use radiation and it provides clear pictures of soft tissues that don’t show up well on X-rays. Ultrasounds are used to examine the body’s internal organs, such as:

• kidneys • pancreas • bladder • and more

We can often accommodate same-day exams and flexible scheduled appointments at any of our four locations.

But the offerings of the Hartselle Shining Stars go far beyond sports, Wells said. The Shining Stars understand that true connection and personal growth come from a diverse range of experiences. That’s why they also host a summer day camp, family game nights, craft classes, pageants, dances and more. These events create a safe and welcoming space for individuals to come together for fun, friendship and the chance to be celebrated for who they are. The networking and support system Shining Stars offers families and parents is also second to none, according to Brenda Caudle. Her daughters Sarea and Adreona are involved in the league and look forward to every activity.

“It’s an amazing program,” Caudle said. “The support among the parents and the feeling of inclusion it offers our special needs community is so needed and appreciated.” For the Hartselle Shining Stars program, inclusion knows no bounds. The league, its sponsors, athletes, volunteers and participants testify to the power of a community that recognizes and celebrates the unique abilities of every individual, fostering an environment where everyone can shine bright. In the heart of Hartselle, these stars are indeed lighting up the world, one activity at a time. For those interested in learning more about the program or becoming a volunteer, the Shining Stars team is just a phone call or email away. Contact Hartselle Parks and Recreation at (256) 773-2581.
