13 graduate from Morgan County drug court By David Gambino For the Enquirer

A ceremony held for 13 graduates of Morgan County’s Drug Court Nov. 7, presided over by Circuit Judge Charles Elliott and attended by supporters, family and friends, saw tears and testimonies from former drug users as they shared their experiences. “What made me open my eyes was sitting in a jail cell,” said Thomas Wiski. “They say you’ll know when you hit rock bottom, and they’re right. I was sitting in a jail cell, and I looked down and all I saw was I’m 30 years old and all I own is a pair of socks.” Drug court participants can only enter the program by pleading guilty. Successful completion of the program leads to dismissal of the felony charge. Termination from the program leads to sentencing based on the guilty plea.

numerous random drug screens — as many as three per week early on — and attendance at court sessions once or twice a month. Participants must commit to 80 volunteer hours. It also costs money, which is in short supply for participants who often have lost their jobs because of their addiction. And it’s not a short commitment. The fastest a person can complete the program is 13 months, but unlike probation there is no set end date. The average participant is cleared to graduate in about 18-20 months, and some remain in the program for years. Last week’s ceremony was held at the First Baptist Church of Decatur and included prayer and graduation music. “These are the people that have qualified to graduate since June,” said Elliott. “We used to have them graduate whenever they completed everything. We’d just do it in court. Now, we want to try to move to something a little bit more celebratory, a little bit

By David Gambino For the Enquirer A Hartselle man accused of poisoning his wife with lead from his Decatur chiropractic office has filed a second request in Morgan County Circuit Court to amend his bond conditions and remove the requirement that he report to jail every weekend. Brian Thomas Mann, 34, was arrested in September 2022 after being indicted for the attempted murder of his wife. He was conditionally released from jail after posting a $500,000 bond in January. Since his release, he’s been required to wear a GPS monitor and report to the Morgan County Jail every weekend. Mann’s attorney, Britt Cauthen, had previously filed a motion to remove the weekend reporting requirement in May. Circuit Judge Charles Elliot resolved the motion in a one-word order: “Denied.” On Friday, Cauthen filed another motion claiming Mann’s bond conditions are preventing him from finding employment. Two letters from prospective employers expressing an interest in hiring Mann were attached to the filing. Mann has passed all his drug screens and has reported to jail each Friday in a “timely” fashion, according to Cauthen. Cauthen claimed almost every job Mann has interviewed for requires availability as early as 7 a.m. on Monday and as late as 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Currently, Mann is required to report to jail no later than 4 p.m. on Friday through 8 a.m. Monday. “The defendant (Mann) has not been able to support himself and pay his child support in accordance with the order of this court in his divorce,” Cauthen wrote. The motion argues that Mann has complied with the no-contact order for his wife and children and that he is not a flight risk due to the GPS monitor. A letter from Walker Sny-

Mann der State Farm, of Huntsville, says the company would be “pleased” to offer Mann a position, but that they are unable to provide a formal job offer unless Mann can be available as late as 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. Another letter from a hiring manager at BGIS in Huntsville expressed interest in “adding Brian Mann to the team,” but claims shifts require weekend availability. Morgan County District Attorney Scott Anderson said on Tuesday that he is opposed to any amendments to Mann’s pretrial release conditions “based upon his history.” According to a pending divorce case filed by his wife, Mann intentionally poisoned her with lead particles, leading to her hospitalization from Jan. 18, 2022, to March 3, 2022. Mann has denied the divorce allegations and pleaded not guilty in the criminal case. Mann’s criminal trial on the attempted murder charge is set for May 13. Mann is scheduled to give a deposition in his divorce case on Nov. 21. An attorney representing Mann’s wife, Hannah Pettey Mann, requested that he bring all bank statements during 2022 and 2023 showing deposits and withdrawals, an up-to-date mortgage statement for his residence, a closing statement reflecting the sale of his previous business premises, and all documents he expects to offer into evidence during his trial.

Jackson Boyer, a 2020 graduate of Hartselle High School, celebrates after he is selected as a future Naval Flight Officer. Boyer will graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy on May 24, 2024.

Rebekah Yancey rebekah.yancey @hartselleenquirer.com Former Hartselle High School standout, Jackson Boyer, a 2020 graduate, is set to soar to new heights as he received his service assignment as a Naval Flight Officer in Pensacola, Fla. this past week. Boyer, who embarked on his journey at the United States Naval Academy as part of the Class of 2024, will graduate May 24 and begin his service. Boyer excelled both academically and athletically at Hartselle High School, according to Principal Brad Cooper. “He performed very highly in the classroom, like on the football field,” Cooper said of the linebacker. A standout on defense for the Tigers, Boyer finished his senior year with 106 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Boyer said his journey from Hartselle High School to the United States Naval Academy and now to the skies of Pensacola has been a full-circle experience. Through high school, Boyer said his plans were to follow in his mother’s footsteps and attend Auburn University – until he got an offer to play football at the U.S. Naval Academy. “When I got here, and I saw what it was about – more than the football – it’s a beautiful town and a great place to be, it really made sense for me,” he said. Boyer said he will find out in the spring when he reports to Pensacola. He is the son of Todd and Leslie Boyer of Hartselle. Proud grandparents are Myra Garrett and the late Craig Garrett and Sue Boyer and the late John Boyer, all of Hartselle.

Danville High opens new athletic facility

[COURTESY PHOTO]

The new 39,784-square-foot athletic facility at Danville High School will open Monday in time for the basketball team’s first game of the season against Ardmore.

By Wes Tomlinson For the Enquirer This week, Danville High School opened a longawaited athletic facility in time for the first basketball game of the season against Ardmore High School. Principal Brian Ellis said the new facility will not only assist the basketball and volleyball programs but will give the football team more practice options. “On the back side of the athletic facility is a covered

patio area with turf where the football team can do speed and agility training,” Ellis said. “This will be beneficial during inclement weather.” The new facility is 39,784 square feet and cost the district approximately $9,442,000, which they paid for by using Public School and College Authority funds allocated by the state. Construction began during the summer of 2021 and Ellis said supply chain and weather issues have prolonged the

building process. Ellis said the old gym, built 35 years ago, will still

be used as an auxiliary gym for physical education classes.

Opinion I

’m not a proponent of Daylight Savings time. I can’t see the logic of gaining an hour in November and losing an hour in April. It boils down to being a matter of inconvenience. When I learned the time was going to change at 2 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 5, I went about the task of resetting every timepiece in the house. My wristwatch came first, then my wife’s, followed by the electric clock on the nightstand in our bedroom, the battery-operated wall clock in the kitchen, and the trusty Leonard Miller batteryoperated clock on the mantel in the den. The dashboard clocks in both our

espite what you might think, I am not all that resistant to change. I understand that it must happen and we must learn to live with it. Maybe you don’t like doing the self-checkout, but it’s not going away. Perhaps you’re like me and worry that all of the new fancy buttons on cars are just another thing to eventually break, but they’re not making them without the buttons anymore, so we have to learn to deal with it. For a long time I resisted changes in the way I enjoyed music, refusing to stream music and insisted I

hanksgiving was often just another day for work on the farm. One year J. J. had planted all the suitable acres for cotton on our farm and rented five more from our neighbor who had taken a job in Decatur. It had been a good year and the land had produced an excellent crop. As Thanksgiving approached my brothers and I had looked forward to a long weekend away from school and its requirements. We thought all the cotton would be picked by then. Little did we realize how those days would unfold. Some cotton remained in the field. Several pickers had worked a number of days and J. J. anticipated they would stay two or three days more until the harvest was completed. But on Wednesday, much to J. J.’s frustration, they all decided that would be their last day. So, he decided we would scuttle any plans that the family might have made for Thanksgiving. We would save on expenses and pick it ourselves. The morning dew was still heavy on the boles when we entered the

I didn’t want to repeat the mistake I made several years ago when I forgot to reset the time. As a

result, I arrived at church for Sunday school an hour early I must admit I was a bit confused when I awoke at 6 a.m. Sunday and discovered it was still dark outside. I promptly checked every time piece to make sure each one reflected the proper time. My memory lapse cost me an hour of sleep and made me grumpy as I went through the process of getting ready for church. After doublechecking my watch and reminding myself that I arrived at church late on a previous time changeover, I was relieved when I stepped in my Sunday school classroom and found I was 15 minute early. First day slipups are not the only

thing that makes the time change unpopular. The shortening of daylight hours cuts the workday short and puts more motorists on the roads after dark. It even means that some school children, which depend on bus transportation, leave home before daylight and arrive back home after dark. The time change is also a health issue, according to a number of sleep disorder specialists. “It’s a hostile act against the body’s circadian rhythms that regulate the sleep-wake cycle,” say some sleep specialists. “We are out of sync for eight months of the year,” they say.

release new Christmas music. My sister would do the same in Knoxville and each Thanksgiving we would meet at our parents house in Nashville and ride down to Alabama for the weekend together. We took the same path we’d driven thousands of times in our lives, the curves and hills as familiar to us as the ancient melodies the artists sang on the radio. We passed by houses that seemed like the homes of old friends even though we’d never met the folks that live in them. It was one of my favorite days of the year, when we had a couple of

hours to catch up, share the new music we had found, and get away from the stress of our real lives. Things have changed now, as they always do. I’m living in Alabama with a family of my own and rarely get to be in the car with my sister on a short road trip. But I’ll cherish those memories. And I’ll hope that my kids will grow up to have that kind of closeness to one another; the kind that drives them to want to share life together, no matter how far away from each other they live.

field on T h u r s d a y. The weather was balmy and pleasant. We made good progress and gleefully counted off the rows of bare stalks A. Ray Lee behind us. Columnist At sundown, we left the field confident the job would be done by Friday evening. After a supper of cornbread and buttermilk, instead of the conventional Thanksgiving meal, we went to bed hoping we could salvage a little time off on Saturday. But we were in for a big surprise. We awoke the next morning to find an inch of snow on the ground. Our disgruntled father decided our time would not be wasted and put us to cutting and splitting wood for the fireplace and cook stove. Saturday the cotton had dried enough so we could pick it. It was late after-

noon before we emptied the last of our pick sacks. By then I was not in a thanksgiving mood. The only thanks I wanted to give was that the sacks would be hung up for another year. Many years have passed since those days of my childhood and youth. The journey of my life has not always been over smooth paths. There have been difficult challenges and some bitter disappointments along the way. But I have been blessed with a long life and many material things to make it comfortable. I am thankful for them. But not all of my blessings have been material ones. This year I give thanks for intangible values that have shaped my life and given it meaning. I am grateful for a work ethic learned on the farm. It has enabled me to reach goals in life and given me a sense of self-reliance and personal responsibility. I am thankful for the privilege of coming of age in a provincial community and a conservative church where worship was valued. It was

there I professed a faith which continues to sustain me in my dwindling days. I am thankful for a family which continues to bring joy into my life. The love of my life has been gone for over four years but her strong influence lingers on. Our children are here to help when I need them. I am thankful to be a citizen of the greatest nation in which selfdetermination is a possibility and for those who have fought that I might remain free. It is because of them I have been able to follow a Christian ministry for over 60 years. I am thankful for the relationships shared with a multitude of acquaintances and friends who have encouraged me in my ministry and who send cards and notes saying they continue to care. The words of some have been invaluable ones of correction when I have erred from the way. This year let’s look beyond material things when we give thanks.

more formal.” Some of those in attendance are currently enrolled in drug court and others were alumni of the program. “There are a bunch of our former graduates who came to support people in the program, because they continue to bring the message to those who still suffer,” said Tammy Jolley, drug court coordinator. Elliott called each graduate up to the center-stage podium to receive their diploma and share a bit about their experience. “I started this journey almost two years ago, and I remember my first day showing up in court,” said Jeremy Garrett. “I was high. I was so scared of who I was without the drugs. I was scared of going through withdrawals.” Garrett said he was hopeless and hated himself before enrolling in drug court. “Recovery has brought me so many things,” he said. “I love the person that I am today. I’m so

grateful for a family that loves me and prays for me. And I’m so grateful for this drug court team, because this program saved my life. If it wasn’t for this program, I would probably be dead or in jail. It’s not been easy, but I’m so thankful for it.” Elliott said it’s naïve for non-users to say they couldn’t end up in the same position as drug users. “But for one or two decisions in my life, I’d be right where they are,” he said. “But for one or two decisions in their life, they could be right where I am.” Drug court receives funding from the Alabama Administrative Office of Courts and the Morgan County Commission, according to Elliott. He said the program has also submitted paperwork to become a nonprofit so that it will be able to accept donations. In total, Tuesday’s graduates spent around $39,000 in fees to complete the program and, by staying out of prison, saved taxpayers almost $400,000. Despite the costs associated with drug court, Elliott said they work with

Special to the Enquirer

MONTGOMERY – The Alabama Department of Transportation is asking responders and the motoring public to learn more about how to stay safe on incident scenes as part of national Crash Responder Safety Week Nov. 13-17. Each year, countless dedicated individuals in the emergency services rush to the scenes of roadway incidents, often placing their own lives at risk to safeguard the lives of others. Crash Responder Week provides a platform to acknowledge their tireless efforts and to create awareness about the challenges they face in their line of duty. “ALDOT crews, law enforcement, fire department person-

people who can’t afford it and never turn anyone away due to an inability to afford the program. According to drug court staff, the program has an 89% success rate and a recidivism rate — the percentage of graduates who are re-arrested within three years —of only around 13%. “It is difficult to describe, without sounding corny, but I am completely humbled and amazed,” Jolley said. “When you consider how many of those folks started this program in active addiction — many of them didn’t have a driver’s license, and we don’t live in a city where public transportation is an option. They had fines and fees from other jurisdictions that they had to repay. They had to rebuild from nothing.” Wiski shared with the audience that, since enrolling in drug court, he’s gotten a job and a promotion, became engaged, and is preparing to buy a house. “It is what you make it,” he said. “I went in there with my eyes open and my ears open and my mouth shut, and it’s just a lifechanging experience.”

nel, tow truck drivers and others work roadside often inches from cars and trucks going by sometimes 80 miles per hour or more,” said Allison Green, Drive Safe Alabama Coordinator, ALDOT. “We want drivers in Alabama to understand the risks that these responders take every day and the need for every vehicle passing by any traffic incident to slow down, move over, and stay alert.” As part of its traffic incident management program, ALDOT provides the Alabama Service and Assistance Patrol (ASAP) service. ASAP improves highway safety and minimizes traffic congestion by assisting stranded motorists and providing special equipment to clear and protect incident scenes. ASAP drivers

Drug court participants earn volunteer hours partly through partnerships with local nonprofits such as Hands Across Decatur, Habitat for Humanity, the Neighborhood Christian Center, and Parents and Children Together, among others. “Every year for the past 3 years, our participants send every person in our jail a Christmas card with a personal handwritten note, something inspiring,” said Jolley. “They get volunteer hours for that.” Elliott said drug court is by far the best part of his job. “Some of the folks that graduated tonight, I’m going to miss so much, because I’ve not only seen the work that they’re doing, but I see the work that they’ve done,” he said. “To know their stories and to get to know them — I take great pride in their success. And I know that they’re going to do exceptional things. I know they have the opportunity to impact the lives of scores of people going forward and hopefully help those that are in addiction and lead them to recovery as well.”

work along heavily traveled segments of the interstates near Birmingham, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Huntsville, Auburn and Montgomery. For greater efficiency and effectiveness in locating and safely clearing disruptions to restore traffic flow, ASAP drivers work with their local ALDOT traffic management center, law enforcement and other emergency responders. ALDOT offers these safety tips for first responders and drivers: Responders Update Training – All incident responders should sign up for the national Traffic Incident Management (TIMS) training program to improve traffic incident responder safety and reduce traffic congestion. The program is

being offered in Alabama to law enforcement, firefighters, state and local departments of transportation, towing and medical personnel. First responders who would like to attend the 2023 course can sign up for the TIMS training at https://www.alabamatim.org/registration.html Follow Quick Clearance Procedures – Responders should be aware of laws and procedures created to restore the safe and orderly flow of traffic when there is an incident on the road. ALDOT and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency have an Open Roads Policy. This agreement between the two state agencies includes expediting the removal of vehicles, cargo and debris from roadways on the Alabama State Highway System.

Drivers If you can steer it, clear it. If a vehicle is drivable and there are no injuries or fatalities, Alabama state law allows the driver to move their vehicle to a safe place off the roadway. Slow down and move over when passing by an incident scene to provide a protective barrier for responders and the motorists behind you. Alabama’s Move Over law requires drivers to change lanes when approaching ALDOT vehicles, law enforcement vehicles, tow trucks and any other emergency vehicle with lights flashing. If drivers can’t change lanes safely, they must slow down as they pass the emergency vehicles. Drivers can get a ticket if they don’t slow down and move over.

player in the world turns that upside down. Beating Nolan Sawyer, also known as the “King killer” becomes world news, and everyone wants to know how she did it. Mallory suddenly finds herself being offered a well-paid fellowship to play chess competitively. After taking the fellowship, Mallory finds herself back in love with chess. She might even start falling for Nolan since they can’t seem to stop running into each other. This new rom com from Ali Hazelwood is another great addition to her nerd romances. Mallory is a perfectionist that can’t stop running from things she can’t control or fix. Readers will find a bit of themselves in her because of Mallory’s real-life struggles and how she copes with them. The romance in the book is a slow burn between two grumpy characters who think they know what they want. You can find this book in the library.

Tigers drop two hard-fought games By Russell Frye For the Enquirer The Hartselle Tigers found themselves in two battles last week against Mortimer Jordan and Vestavia Hills. The Tigers fell 79-75 in double overtime on the road at Mortimer Jordan before losing 68-58 at home to Vestavia Hills. Mortimer Jordan 79, Hartselle 75 (2 OT) The Tigers fought through adversity the entire game but found a way to stay close to the home-standing Blue Devils. Hartselle led by three with less than 10 seconds remaining, but Mortimer Jordan connected on a deep three to force over-

time. The Blue Devils outscored Hartselle 11-7 in the second overtime to win. Ty Odom led four Hartselle players in double figures with 28 points and five rebounds. Dawson Seal added a careerhigh 17 points, while Rylan Smothers scored 13 points and Kohl Key scored 12. Vestavia Hills 68, Hartselle 58 Hartselle fought hard with 7A Vestavia Hills but came up short in a 68-58 loss. The Tigers trailed 43-42 entering the fourth quarter, but the Rebels pulled away by outscoring Hartselle 25-16 in the fourth quarter. Odom had 24 to lead the Tigers, while Smothers added 17 points.

By Russell Frye For the Enquirer The Hartselle Tigers saw their season come to a close with a heartbreaking 22-15 loss on the road at Gadsden City. “Losing like this hurts,” Hartselle coach Bryan Moore said. “These players have put everything they had into tonight and this season.” The Tigers (9-3) battled with injuries through the last eight weeks of the season, and this game was no different. But despite the injuries, the Tigers had a chance to win and advance. Hartselle took a 7-0 lead when Jayden Morris scored on a five-

yard run with 4:00 left in the first quarter. The 20-play, 79-yard drive took eight minutes off the clock. Gadsden City looked like they would tie the game early in the second quarter, but Cole Miles intercepted a Titans pass at the 2-yard line and returned it 70 yards to give the Tigers excellent field position to start their next drive. Unfortunately, the Tigers could not capitalize on the Gadsden City turnover when they missed a 39-yard field goal with 8:23 remaining in the first half. On the next play, a Gadsden City runner raced 80 yards for a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7.

By Russell Frye For the Enquirer Priceville’s season ended with a 70-42 loss to Brooks in the second round of the 4A State Playoffs. It was the Bulldog’s third consecutive second-round loss. The Bulldogs kept the game close early in the first half following a 56-yard touchdown pass from Jake England to Riley Wagg and then a 4-yard touchdown run by Blitz Clemons to make the score 14-14. Brooks scored three consecutive touchdowns to take a 35-14 lead late in the first half. Clemons scored on a 44-yard run to cut the lead to 35-21, but the Lions added a late touchdown to lead 42-21 going into halftime. Wagg opened the second half with an 85-yard kickoff return to cut the Brooks lead to 42-28.

Gadsden City had another possible scoring drive end with less than a minute remaining in the first half when Miles came up with his second interception, as he made a diving catch for a ball batted down by Noah Gibson. Coming out of halftime, Gadsden City had the ball and would take the lead with a 53-yard touchdown with 11:04 left in the third quarter. The Titans had a chance to extend their lead as the third quarter was coming to a close. They attempted a 21-yard field goal, but Miles came off the edge and blocked the kick, giving the ball back to the Tigers. The Tigers would take the lead

Hartselle 48 The Lady Tigers found themselves down by as much as 16 in the first half but battled back to cut the lead to seven points on a couple of occasions in the fourth quarter before falling 56-48 to Mortimer Jordan. Mary Frances Itsede scored 19 points to lead the Lady Tigers. Gracie Hill added nine points, while

with a 12-play, 60-yard drive that took 5:11 off the clock. Peyton Steele capped off the drive with a three-yard scoring run to make the score 14-13. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Steele was injured on the play. After a timeout, Noah Lee scored on a two-point conversion to put Hartselle up 15-14 with 3:33 remaining. Gadsden City wouldn’t back down, as they drove 75 yards in 11 plays, scoring the gamewinning touchdown with 0:23.2 remaining. Despite being outgained by over 200 yards, the Tigers showed resiliency by bending but not breaking. Playing for an injured Ri

Anna Hampton Burroughs had eight. Vestavia Hills 68, Hartselle 48 The Lady Rebels broke open a close game at halftime, leading 38-35, outscoring Hartselle 30-13 in the second half. Gracie Hill had 18 points to lead the Lady Tigers, while Hanna Burks added 12.

Fletcher, Gage Owenby had a career-high 77 yards rushing on 18 carries to lead the Hartselle offense. “I am proud of the toughness and resiliency of this team,” Moore said. “Despite all of the injuries, they remained bought in each and every game and gave Hartselle a season to be proud of.” The future remains bright for Hartselle as they will return multiple starters, including quarterback Noah Lee, wide receiver Markus Tapscott, running back Jayden Morris, defensive linemen Porter Simmons and Andrew Carroll, linebacker Jameson Falciani and defensive back Miles.

Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, the Lions would add two more scores to push the lead to 56-28 late in the third quarter. Clemons pulled the Bulldogs within 14 when he scored twice in two minutes. The first touchdown came on a 30-y Priceville’s Wagg returned the secondhalf kickoff 85 yards. But the Lions responded with two more touchdowns, the first a 29-yard keeper for Burrough and the second a 15-yard rush from Gregg. Blitz Clemons then scored twice in two minutes. He ran 30 yards for the first and then had a 25-yard reception for a score to cut the lead to 56-42. Brooks added two more scores late to make the final score 70-42. Priceville’s season ends with a 5-7 record, their first losing record since 2018, the ENQUIRER PHOTO BY SHAWNA OLIVER season before coach Chris Foster took Blitz Clemons looks for a running lane in the Bulldog’s 70-42 season-ending loss to over the program.
