VOLUME 91, NO. 2

By Russell Frye For the Enquirer

Bert Newton is the new head coach of the Hartselle Tigers football program. He replaces Bryan Moore, who left to become the new head coach at Opelika.

Newton, who was the defensive coordinator in two stints for six years, was named the new head coach following a school board meeting Jan. 2.

“I am super excited about the challenge,” Newton said. “My family is now here, and my kids are in the schools here. I feel more connected to Hartselle City Schools than ever before.”

Hartselle High School Athletic Director Jake ENQUIRER PHOTO BY RUSSELL FRYE. Miles believes Newton is perfect for the job.

Bert Newton stands with Hartselle Superintendent Dr. Brian Clayton, “We are excited to announce Coach Newton as HHS Athletic Director Jake Miles and HHS Principal Dr. Brad Cooper the next head football coach at Hartselle High after being named the new head coach of the Hartselle football pro- School, and we are excited about the future of our football program under his leadership,” Miles gram.

said. “It became pretty evident as our search began that the best fit for our future and school was currently on our campus. What makes Bert the perfect fit for us is not that he simply understands football, but more importantly, he understands Hartselle Football and our Hartselle High School culture and kids.”

The Hartselle head coaching position will be Newton’s first head coaching position. He has previously served as defensive coordinator at Mountain Brook and Vestavia and as an assistant coach at Hoover. He worked under former Hartselle head coaches Bob Godsey, Bo Culver and Moore.

“We want to build championship people in the classroom, on the field and in the community,” Newton said. “We also want to continue to be a championship program and bring region and state championships to Hartselle.”

Newton will begin his head coaching career Aug. 23 with a home game against Austin.

Evangelist Junior Hill, of Hartselle, died Jan. 3 at the age of 87.

By Catherine Godbey For the Enquirer Hartselle evangelist Junior Hill, the man who shared the Gospel with hundreds of thousands of people at more than 1,800 revivals spanning 48 states and 12 countries, the man described by fellow pastors as a “giant” in the ministry, “one of America’s greatest evangelists” and a mentor, died this past week at the age of 87.

“Junior Hill was one of the most beloved preachers and one of the most influential leaders in the Southern Baptist Conference,” said Craig Carlisle, president of the Alabama Baptist Convention. “God used him in some incredible ways to influence so many people. There is no telling how many people came to know Jesus Christ because of Junior Hill.”

Fellow evangelists and church leaders described Hill, who grew up in Hartselle, as selfless, authentic, genuine, sincere, encouraging and humble.

“For a while when I traveled, the number one question I was asked by preachers was ‘Have you ever met Junior Hill?’” Decatur evangelist Phil Waldrep said. “In all of my years, I’ve only met one person who was not impressed with Junior Hill and that was Junior Hill himself. I

think he was so respected and made such an influence on people because he never forgot where he came from.”

Hill’s introduction into the church began at the age of 13.

“My family was not church people, unfortunately,” Hill said in a 2017 interview. “When I was 13, a little lady named Zula Montgomery saw me playing ball in a field and invited me to Sunday school at First Baptist Church. At 17, I was saved.”

In 1955, Hill preached his first sermon at First Baptist Church in Hartselle.

“I was very nervous. Even though I didn’t know what I was doing, several people were saved. I began to preach around at local churches and, most every time I preached, someone was saved. I thought people got saved every time. I distinctly remember the first time I preached and no one was saved. It was at Hopewell Baptist Church. I was so discouraged and upset. The preacher said, ‘Well, Junior, remember, people don’t get saved every time you preach,’” Hill recalled.

After graduating from Hartselle High, Hill attended college on a football scholarship at Livingston College (now Huntington University) then transferred to Howard University (now Samford) after accepting his calling into the ministry.

That call came at 19 years old while coming home from a revival at First Baptist.

“I pulled off to the side of the road, across the railroad tracks from where the National Guard used to be. I felt very troubled. I cut on the radio and there was an old country song playing on the radio, ‘Preach the Gospel.’

There, sitting on the side of Hickory Street, I made my decision to be a preacher,” Hill said.

For seminary, Hill attended New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, which named him a distinguished alumnus in 1995. After preaching at Woodlawn Avenue Baptist Church in Birmingham from 1962-67, Hill became a traveling evangelist.

Waldrep remembers the first time Hill preached at his childhood church of Enon Baptist in Lawrence County in the late 1960s.

“Even then I was impressed with him as a very gentle, kind and humble servant, yet someone, when he spoke, people just sat up and listened. When you heard Junior Hill speak, you knew he loved the Lord and you sensed he loved you and he did,” Waldrep said. “When I started in the ministry, one of my life’s ambitions was to meet Junior Hill.”

Doug loved to work. He began his career at Deshazo Crane in 1988, where he worked until he began working for Nucor Steel in October of 2002. He remained a loyal employee until his death. The men and women of Nucor became like family. He had a special bond with the crane crew electricians, they were best friends and like brothers.

Near the end of his life, Doug rededicated his life to the Lord. He prayed daily and sang hymns to our God and God transformed Doug when he passed from this life. God welcomed him home and healed him from the horrid disease called cancer.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests continued prayers for the family during this sad time.

Catching up on yard work

hen I finished cutting the grass in my yard the last time in late October, I breathed a sigh of relief, gave the job an eye of approval and drove my lawnmower into my storage shed where it is retired temporarily. I overlooked the fact that only half the trees in my yard had shed their leaves and the other half were hanging on waiting for the first hard freeze before falling.

Now they have the ground covered and are begging for removal.

The leftover work of removing wild weeds and volunteer trees from 600 feet of property right-of-way and an acre garden spot remains in question.

The decision of Geanell and me

W

e did little celebrating of the arrival of a new year when I was growing up on a small cotton farm in the early 1940s. It was just another day to give attention to the ongoing requirements of farm life. We were not aware of the big affair at Times Square in New York with its festivities, where multitudes gathered as the clock reached midnight on December 31. There were no champagne parties around our place that lasted well into the morning of January 1. For us, there may have been a few fireworks in the evening, but after they had died out all was quiet as usual.

I don’t remember anyone in our household staying up just to be able to say they had watched the new year arrive as I sometimes did later in life. Morning would come soon enough. The fire had been banked for the night. We had gone to bed at the usual hour to conserve

Y

Quotable

esterday I had to let a full grown adult borrow a pocket knife. What is the world coming to? I once heard someone say that they carry a good knife for personal use and a cheap one for lending to others, the philosophy being that if someone doesn’t know to carry a pocket knife, there is no telling what kind of damage they’ll do to your heirloom Case Trapper.

As I watched that Case knife leave my hand I wished I’d taken that wisdom to heart before that moment.

Daddy’s famous for answering someone’s inquiry as to whether

to plant flowering bushes on the property lines for privacy and color has resulted in a mountain of upkeep. The borders have become a suit- Clif Knight able habitat Staff Writer for birds and other wild Emeritus animals. The result has been wild seed spread by the occupants and the rapid growth of unwanted trees and plant life. The use of power yard tools and hard labor are required to keep the borders clean and free

of unwanted foliage.

The property is also fronted by a 180 ft. deep drainage ditch on the Bethel Road right-of-way. While it receives a minimum of upkeep from the City, I have to maintain the ditch on a regular basis during spring, summer and fall months. The use of a weed eater is necessary and six hours of labor is required. 300 feet of concrete driveway and patio also require three hours of weed eater work once every two weeks.

The largest and most time-consuming part of yard work involves the large back yard garden. Dead garden plants and late maturing weeds have to be knocked down and removed before the planting and growing season begin. This

includes the removal of wood posts and lumber rails used to support tomato and pepper plants. The job requires three or four days when the ground is dry. At the same time, mulched leaves from the year before are distributed in the open garden space. They are tilled under and mixed with the soil to form seedbeds for early season crops such as potatoes, squash, greens, tomatoes and corn. First year mulched leaves are stored separately and used to control grass and weed growth and supplement commercial grade fertilizers.

Reminder: The cold winter months are the best time to get your power and hand tools in top shape before planting and growing season.

New Year celebrations the coal oil used in our lamps.

We rose at daybreak, without a h a n g o v e r, to complete the morning chores and then moved on to the A. Ray Lee work of the Columnist day. There was always wood to be cut and split for the cook stove. The stack of firewood used to heat the house constantly needed to be replenished. The wood boxes must be refilled and enough logs split to last for at least a week.

We may have shucked and shelled a basket of corn to be used as chicken feed. The shucks would be saved for fodder. The dry cobs were saved to be soaked in coal oil and

used as kindling to aid in the lighting of the morning fires. Various other routine jobs would require our time during the day.

If the weather was especially raw, we might be allowed to spend time inside near the fire where we constantly turned while one side baked and the other remained cold. Perhaps in the evening we got out the hand-held popcorn popper and gathered close to the fire to enjoy fresh home-grown corn as we warmed our feet before hurrying off to bed.

A little later in life, I remember we sometimes attended “watch night” services at the church which began as late as 9:00 pm and concluded with a time of prayer at midnight. Early in the service we played simple games, told stories, and joined in spirited singing. There were cakes and cookies on hand for breaks in the activities. We returned home, allowed to sleep in a little

later than usual, and rose with a positive attitude as we faced a new year without feeling we had missed anything.

Our lives continued. By faith we looked forward to the year ahead trusting our work on the farm would be successful in providing for our needs as we trusted in the providence of God and worked in step with his plans.

For many years since those times I have tried to remember what James wrote in his Epistle: “Go to now, ye that say, today or tomorrow we will go into such a city and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.”

(James 4:13-15)

anything with a sharp blade in a pinch. It’s good to have a couple of cheapo knives laying around; if you’re going to an unfamiliar place you want to make sure you have something you don’t mind surrendering to security should you have to.

The main thing is to be prepared. As the old saying goes, it’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

Whether or not someone lives their life that way says a lot about them, as far as I’m concerned.

Remembering Joe Thompson: Somerville man battling terminal cancer granted wishes to other patients

By Catherine Godbey For the Enquirer Morgan County resident Joe Thompson died from brain cancer Dec. 27.

Thompson was 22 when he was diagnosed with DIPG, an inoperable brain tumor, in March 2022. Through Thompson’s treatments, he found his calling with the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation, which grants wishes to individuals, ages 18-24.

In January, Kelli Ritschel Boehle, founder of the foundation, asked Thompson to become the Alabama spokesman for the foundation.

“This may sound strange but being diagnosed with

By Erica Smith For the Enquirer The Morgan County Economic Development Association is going to have a 200,000 square foot concrete pad costing about $1.2 million installed in the Morgan Center Business Park in Hartselle in hopes of enticing more companies to establish themselves at the park.

“A lot of the projects are fast tracked. They want to start construction immediately because they’re on such a short timeline,” said Morgan County Economic Development Association President and CEO Jeremy

brain cancer helped me realize my true purpose and calling,” Thompson said during an interview in February 2023. “A dear friend of mine told me, ‘A man has got to wake up every day with a purpose.’ You have to feel like you are doing something for an important reason in their world.”

In the past year, Thompson hosted two fundraisers, secured a grant from the Haas Foundation, raised over $28,000 and granted wishes to recipients.

“To help other young adults, like me, be able to escape their diagnosis just for a little bit and find some hope, that is my passion,” Thompson said. “These wishes

Nails. “The more developed your site is, or pad-ready, then the chances of you getting a project is better and improved — more so than if it was just the way it stands today.”

Ray Long, Morgan County Commission chairman, said building a pad and everything that goes along with it is as important as the building.

“The biggest benefit is, if an industry is looking to locate somewhere, most of the time they’ve got a calendar fixed out of when they want to start,” he said. “So, if we’ve got the pad sitting there, we’ve got half of the building already good for

are so important. They give a sense of peace in a really dark time. These wishes, in a sense, allow people to escape cancer for a little bit and just live.”

On Dec. 27, the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation named Thompson as the organization’s “wish angel” of the year.

“His passion, enthusiasm and love of life inspired us all,” the foundation posted on Facebook. “Thank you Joseph Thompson for making a difference in the lives of many.”

In lieu of flowers, Thompson’s family, per Thompson’s wish, asked for donations be made to Nik’s Wish or cancer research for DIPG.

them; all they have to do is come and build the building up. It’s an incentive for people to come look at us as a fast source of being able to locate, probably quicker than most people get.”

The Morgan Center Business Park opened in 2012 along Interstate 65 at Exit 325 in Hartselle, covers about 135 acres and is home to one company, Cerrowire, which opened this year.

Nails said the park is beneficial to the area in numerous ways. He said Cerrowire has created 130 new jobs, and its building was an investment of more than $100 million.

“So, you’ve got new jobs, investment, the schools get

more taxes, you’ve got that additional payroll,” Nails said. “So, all that kind of feeds back into the community.”

Long said Cerrowire is already a huge presence in the park.

“That’s a good incentive.

A lot of people in parks like to see somebody else come in first, which Cerro has done,” he said. “I think now, once the pad gets up, I think you’ll see a quick turnover. Somebody will want to come in there.”

Woodward Construction and Design Inc. will construct the 200,000 square foot pad for just over $1 million. Pugh Wright McAnally

Civil Engineers will design the pad for $115,000 and Terracon will offer geotechnical services for $30,000.

The total cost is a 50-50 match between the Tennessee Valley Authority and MCEDA, with both parties paying $581,430.

Nails said the pad should be completed by the end of 2024, but they will look into building more pads.

“The grant process is a competitive process throughout the entire Tennessee Valley region,” he said. “We’re going to do this one first. As we look at potential new industrial sites, then we’ll evaluate those to see what we need

to do to get them attractive.”

Building the pad is just one way they are trying to bring businesses in, Nails said.

“We do a lot of marketing with site location consultants because they bring about half of the projects,” he said. “We work with the Tennessee Valley Authority; we work with the state of Alabama because a lot of companies that are looking to move here start with the state agency first. They’ll send us projects to see if we’ve got a certain number of acres, certain amount of utilities, whether or not they want rail (road), what their specifications are.”

love of God and they saw it through him and through his preaching.”

In the back of his preaching Bible, Hill wrote down the names of individuals who accepted Christ. The Bible is now on display at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary’s Mathena Hall in Texas.

Along with traveling the world as an evangelist for more than 50 years, Hill served as first vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention and wrote more than a dozen faith-based books.

For his ministry, a room dedicated to Hill exists at Southwest Baptist Theological Seminary and the Alabama Baptist Pastors Conference awarded Hill the inaugural Fred Wolfe Lifetime Pastoral Ministry Award.

From 2006-2017, Hill opened the Hartselle Camp Meeting at Cain’s invitation.

“Every year we wrote a thank you note to Junior and included a $100 check as an honorarium. And every year, he always wrote

a thank you note back and returned the check,” Cain said. “Junior Hill was beloved in Hartselle and across the world. I’ve been to 24 different countries on missions and there hasn’t been one country I have gone to that someone hasn’t asked about Junior.”

Tributes to Hill flooded social media sites on Wednesday.

“He was a giant of a man and a giant of a preacher,” senior pastor Matt Haines of Central Park Baptist in Decatur wrote. “Brother Junior was not only a giant of a preacher, but a mentor to so many men in ministry. His impact on the kingdom will never be fully measured. Well done, Brother Junior.”

“Only heaven knows the impact Junior Hill has made on so many lives!

Great will be his rewards,” Dusty McLemore, pastor emeritus of Lindsay Lane Baptist in Athens, wrote.

Hill is survived by his wife, Carole, two children and five grandchildren.

distinction of being the district’s secondary teacher of the year for Hartselle City Schools.

The recipients of each award were selected by

staff members at their respective schools. A committee, led by Tina Towers, the elementary curriculum coordinator for Hartselle City Schools, then determined the overall elementary and secondary teachers of the year to represent the district.

Towers explained that these district winners will submit an application packet for the Alabama Teacher of the Year Award later this month, with the choice to attend the Blue Ribbon Conference or receive a $1,500 grant for their classrooms.

harvest, particularly harvest of bass, is critical to keeping predators and prey in balance.”

Recycling Recycling trees is made easy through utilization of drop off locations. Many municipalities will chip them into a reusable product and provide a sustainable alternative to the donator.

“Check with your local municipalities, as some have tree collection points,” said Jeremy Pickens, an assistant Extension professor of commercial horticulture. “These trees are often turned into mulch and sometimes the mulch is free.”

These locations ensure that donated trees are properly disposed and not negatively

inserted into the environment.

Other Christmas tree ideas For those who do not have a pond or a nearby disposal location, there is another option for repurposing Christmas trees. Strategically moving trees from the inside to the outside creates natural habitat for many other animal species.

Norm Haley, an Alabama Extension forestry, wildlife and natural resources regional agent, said some wildlife will use them as shelters.

“Christmas tree piles placed throughout a landscape can provide wildlife with escape cover and thermal refuge,” Haley said. “These piles are not only used by rabbits

but also by many game and nongame animals, including birds.”

This method works best when piling multiple trees on the ground. Rabbits, raccoons, opossums and even coyotes can use these piles as shelter, especially during the winter. Bird watchers can try spreading peanut butter and bird seed on branches to attract birds and help provide a winter food source.

More information By responsibly recycling and repurposing trees, everyone can make their holiday purchases go a little farther in 2024. For information on potential tree disposal sites in your county or city, contact the municipal offices in your area.

By Cole Sikes For the Enquirer With the passing of the holiday season, people are looking for new homes for the approximately 25 to 30 million real Christmas trees used in homes across the United States. Fortunately, there are many options for responsibly recycling these trees. Last year’s perfect Christmas tree can also be the perfect addition for the environment around you.

The three Rs Many students learn the three Rs in environmental science class. The trio of reducing, reusing and recycling has the ability to make a positive impact on the envi-

la, Prince Charming and the Fairy Godmother and strike a pose for a professional photographer.

The evening’s festivities include the combination of dinner, dancing and a regal ride in a horse-drawn carriage. The venue for this year’s spectacle is the Burningtree Country Club, where the magic unfolds from 5-8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 3-6 p.m. on Sunday.

Adding a touch of grandeur to the affair, princesses in attendance will be formally introduced during

a lead-out ceremony following dinner. To accommodate the high demand, the organizers announced that this year’s Cinderella Ball will span three magical nights.

ronment, especially when performed simultaneously.

However, this system applies not only to trash waste but also last year’s Christmas trees.

Reducing Reducing the amount of waste is first in the sequence for a reason. The reduction of waste input halts the problem at its inception. In terms of Christmas trees, the reduction of waste is measured by trees that are not reused or recycled at a proper disposal site.

Reusing One of the most popular ways to reuse a Christmas tree is to find a natural use for them. Arguably, the most common application is to use trees for fish habitat. Rusty

Wright, an Alabama Cooperative Extension System fisheries specialist, said fish are naturally attracted to a tree habitat for many reasons.

“Small fish use the trees as a form of protection from larger predators,” Wright said.

“Larger fish use it as a place to wait for their prey to pass by. They also use it as protection from predators such as large, fish-eating birds.”

Additionally, Christmas trees serve as a surface for algae that supports many insects and other aquatic animals that fish use as food.

There is also a recreational benefit to placing them in fishing ponds.

“Trees help anglers enjoy the pond and more effectively catch fish,” Wright said. “Fish

While speaking at a revival at Shoal Creek Baptist Church in Priceville, Waldrep asked Hill’s daughter to invite Hill to a service.

“I never thought he would come, but he came. That was the most nervous I have ever been. He was so gracious to me. I still have the letter he wrote to me after that,” Waldrep said. “I never knew the Lord would allow me to call Junior Hill a friend. I have been so blessed. He was so insightful and had so much wisdom.”

Rob Cain, president of the Hartselle Camp Meeting and associate pastor at Circlewood Baptist Church in Tuscaloosa, described Hill as one of the great harvest evangelists. Waldrep agreed.

“Brother Junior was a true evangelist, much like Billy Graham,” Waldrep said. “When he preached, people who were not Christians responded. Junior Hill loved people down the aisle. He let them see the

“Refugee”

By Alan Gratz From popular juvenile historical fiction author Alan Gratz comes a book about three children who are fleeing oppressive countries.

In 1938, Josef is a German Jew fighting to escape the expanding control of Adolf

Hitler and his Nazi Party. In 1994, Isabel is trying to use a makeshift raft to escape the dictatorship of Fidel Castro in Cuba. In 2015, Mahmoud and his family are making their way to Germany from Syria because of the Syrian Civil War. The journeys these children take open their eyes to the world.

This historical fiction is a great read for young readers who want to learn more about the world they live in and how the world used to be. You can find this book in the library, on Libby and on Hoopla.

Combine the shredded/ thinly sliced cabbage in a large bowl with the canning salt. Toss the cabbage to mix the salt all through it.

Cover the bowl with a tea towel and set it aside for two to four hours.

Place cabbage in a colander and rinse with cold water to remove as much of the salt as possible.

Work in batches and let the cabbage rest in the colander a few minutes while you prepare the brine.

Combine the water, vinegar and sugar in a large, nonreactive pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, and let it boil for one minute.

Reduce the heat to keep the brine nice and hot while you do the next step.

Put the shredded cabbage in a large bowl and add the shredded carrots. Mix together.

Pack the cabbage and carrot mixture into your jars,

To each jar add a pinch of celery seed and 1/8 teaspoon of pickle crisp.

Ladle in the brine.

Remove any air bubbles with a bubble wand and adjust the volume to maintain the head space if needed.

Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp cloth that is dipped in white vinegar to remove any residue.

Close the jars with a lid and ring.

Process the coleslaw in your canner for 15 minutes. Remember to always adjust for your elevation.

Allow the jars to rest on a lined surface in a draft-free location for 12-24 hours.

Remove the rings and test the seals.

Label the jars and store them in your pantry.

Allow the jars to sit in your pantry for four weeks, giving the cabbage time to pickle and the flavor time to develop.

By Russell Frye For the Enquirer Hartselle and Cullman squared off in a 6A heavyweight battle to open area play this past Friday night.

The two teams battled through four quarters, with the Tigers taking round one 52-50 to take the top spot in the area.

“It is nice to be back home and get a win over Cullman after playing 17 of our first 20 games on the road,” Hartselle coach Faron Key said. “We have a lot of scars and dents from the season, but we haven’t broken. The boys have shown a lot of resilience, especially following a 1-6 stretch over the last couple of weeks.”

The Tigers scored first and led 4-2 before Cullman hit a three-pointer to take their only lead of the game. Two Markus Tapscott free throws put the Tigers back in front and started a 9-3 Hartselle run to give Hartselle a 13-8 lead after the first quarter.

Rylan Smothers opened the second quarter with a threepointer to extend the Tigers’ lead to 16-8. Cullman cut into the lead with five straight points, but Hartselle ended the short Bearcats’ rally with their own five consecutive points to make the score 21-13. However, Cullman outscored the Tigers 10-2 over

the final couple of minutes to tie the game at 23-23 going into halftime.

“We knew what we had to do to win the game, and we did it,” Smothers said.

Both teams scored to open the third quarter to make the score 25-25. Hartselle then went on a 7-2 run to extend their lead to 32-27 in a lowscoring third quarter. Cullman sank three free throws to cut the lead to 32-30. The Tigers scored two consecutive baskets before Cullman hit a layup right before the buzzer to make the score 36-32 heading into the final quarter.

The Tigers opened the fourth quarter by extending their lead to 40-34 before the Bearcats scored five straight to cut the lead to 40-39. However, Hartselle responded with a 5-0 run to put the lead to 45-39 with 2:42 left.

A Cullman 5-2 spurt made the score 47-44 with 1:01 left.

After a Ty Odom layup and two free throws, the Tigers led 51-47 with 12.3 seconds left. The Bearcats hit a three to make the score 51-50. The Tigers shot four free throws in the final eight seconds, hitting just one to make the score 52-50. A desperate heave by the Bearcats went left of the basket as time expired.

“I knew that the game would be a game of runs, but I was confident in my team,” Odom said. “We played tonight like I thought we would and should
