Once the officer was cared for, they provided essential statements about the crash. Their courage, concern, and compassion is a testimony to their Samaritan spirit and character.�

MADISON – The coronavirus continues to wreak havoc among high school athletics. Despite the Return to Play “Best Practices� guidelines set forth by the Alabama High School Athletic Association, some schools have made revisions for their own athletic programs and more changes could be on the horizon. Both Bob Jones and James Clemens have elected not to play their opening schedule games due to health concerns surrounding the coronavirus and See COVID-19 IMPACT Page 2A

August 19, 2020
COVID-19 Impact school athletic contest, spectators must wear a face mask or other facial covering that covers the nostrils and mouth at all times and keep the six-foot distancing of a person from another household. State Health Officer, Dr. Scott Harris noted the guidelines were “created to mitigate-not-eliminate the risk of COVID-19. Schools are strongly to establish and follow policies for limiting event attendance in order to comply.” Returning to a close proximity of “normalcy” is extremely important for high school student-athletes. A recent study by a highly touted school of medicine showed 68-percent of high school student-athletes reported symptoms of depression or anxiety due to Covid-19 closures. The study confirmed that involvement in high school athletics is absolutely vital to the social, emotional and mental health of student-athletes. Athletics must be returned and done so with a positive and informed perspective to keep the programs going. The 19,500 high schools nationwide are having to make incredibly difficult decisions centering on athletics. The AHSAA and the local schools are attempting to get students engaged in some type of athletics or organizations around athletics that have something to do with the normal life of their school, the life of the team and the community as a whole. “Our players have gone through a tremendous learning curve during the pandemic and will continue to do so during our physical practices and games,” said Waldrop. “Our players will wear masks on the sidelines, our coaches will wear masks and try and remain apart on the sidelines as much as possible.” “Many of our players will wear sleeves while in the game and pull up over their faces while on the sidelines,” added White. “We are looking at cutting attendance at games to try and follow the guidelines. All of this is very different than anything we’ve been through.” Students learn better when they are involved in other activities surrounding their schools. Keeping the efforts to continue athletics is an attempt to make the student-athletes richer in education and growing up well-rounded.

FARMERS TO FAMILIES - Fresh food boxes will be distributed Thursday at Madison City Stadium, 211 Celtic Drive. Daystar Church, in partnership with the Farmers to Families, Faith-Based Coalition and GA Food Service, is serving as a POD (place of distribution) for these fresh food boxes. Each foodbox contains perishable food products such as pre-cooked chicken or pork, dairy products, and assorted fruit and vegetables. They are available to all families on a first come, first served basis. Families need not show any proof of need or identification. Boxes will be available at 10 a.m. while supplies last, and must be picked up no later than noon in order to guarantee freshness. “Farmers to Families” is a $4 billion provision of the Cares Act, recently signed into law by President Donald Trump. Through this act, the federal government is purchasing food from US farmers and giving it to families to ensure that the food does not go to waste and that families are helped out during the pandemic.

cording to officials with the private school in a recent written release, “Several factors led to this decision including travel issues and the size of the visitor stands and locker rooms, in addition to the general COVID-19 concerns.” The game was scheduled as a home game for the Mustangs. Madison Academy also stated no decision has been made at this time about possibly picking up a game later in the season to replace this cancelled contest. No word has been released on the Aug. 28 game scheduled in Scottsboro for the Mustangs. James Clemens has also announced it will play its opening game in Athens on Saturday, Aug. 29. The game was originally scheduled for Friday, Aug. 28, but the two schools agreed to move the game one day in an effort to help the Golden Eagles’ program to have one additional day in preparation for its season opener. Athens had at one time cancelled the game, but reconsidered and decided to play the upcoming campaign. Sparkman is on schedule to play its season open-
er on the road in Gardendale against the Class 6A Rockets. The Senators are coming off an 8-3 overall record last season, which included a third place finish in Class 7A, Region 4 with a region record of 5-2 and a playoff first round loss to Hoover (21-3). A season ago, Sparkman, under third year head coach Laron White, won its first seven games and achieved a sixth place state ranking among the Class 7A teams in week eight. The cardinal and black squad then lost their next two games versus James Clemens and Florence before ending the regular season with a win over Decatur. “We played well against Hoover and our entire season a year ago certainly will build on this year’s team as we found some things we can build on just by looking at them,” said White, whose said he’s ready to kick off his fourth season with the Senators. Gone from last year’s team are four All-State players including firstteam punter Miles Tillman. This year’s squad has 100 players on its varsity

continued rise in number of cases of the COVID-19. James Clemens set for a season opener on the road in Mobile against the Murphy Panthers in Ladd-Peebles Stadium while Bob Jones was set to face the Tigers of Auburn High in Duck Samford Stadium. Instead, the Patriots will reschedule the Auburn game for Sept. 25. Both games were originally scheduled for Aug. 21. With the cancellation and postponement, opening games for the two Madison City Schools will now begin the weekend of Aug. 28-29 as James Clemens will travel to nearby to Athens to face the Golden Eagles on Saturday, Aug. 29 while Bob Jones will host county rival Buckhorn Bucks at Madison City Schools Stadium On Friday the 28th. The Sparkman Senators are still on go for its season opener on the road at Gardendale High located just north of Birmingham. The Class 4A Mustangs of Madison Academy had their 2020 campaign opener scheduled at home versus Briarwood Christian Academy of Birmingham, but that game has been cancelled. For James Clemens, the decision to cancel its opening on-field contest matches its philosophy on safety during the pandemic. “We’re going over the top to secure safety and it centers on planning and we’ve done so as we’re attempting to come up with solutions,” said Wade Waldrop, head coach of the James Clemens football program. “We’re taking every precaution we can and follow the guidelines set forth by officials.” For first-year Bob Jones head coach Kelvis White, he was looking toward to keeping his team’s trip to Auburn as normal as possible and implementing safety precautions that would keep everyone safe. He added, “We are providing our players and coaches with everything they need to be safe. Of course we’re following the AHSAA guidelines and putting forth what we think will keep our program safe.” The AHSAA has indicated spectators will be allowed to attend sporting events this fall although be significantly reduced under the current Safer at Home public health order. When attending any high
roster with 34 players in both senior and junior classes and another 32 listed in the sophomore class. White is looking to returning experience among his players to be a strong suit for the Senators in 2020. “We must develop more depth as many of our seniors and juniors did not see a lot of snaps last season,” said White, as the Senators averaged 27 points per game while allowing just 19 points per outing. “We have two new running backs and offensive linemen to jell with our other offensive talents. Nick Sawyer, a West Point commit, (6-0, 165, Sr.) was our starting quarterback last year and will be again this go around, but he’ll get some pressure for snaps from Luke Schomburg (6-3, 190, Jr.) who I liked what he did last year in a backup role.” In all, White said there are four Div. I recruits on the squad. Besides Sawyer, the big ticket players for the Senators includes Micah Pettus (6-8, 310, OL, Sr.) who is an Ole Miss commit, Caleb Ransaw (60, 180, CB, Sr.) who is looking at Troy and White’s own son, Karon White (62, 275, DE, Sr.), who has verbally committed to Appalachian State. Gardendale was 8-4 overall in 2019 and exited the Class 6A state playoffs after the second round. The maroon and silver Rockets won its first six games of the season schedule scoring 25 points per game and allowing just 17 to each opponent. “They will be loaded including their quarterback who is a West Virginia commit and five others who are Div. I talents,” said White of the Rockets. “This will be a great challenge for us and will be a difficult team to beat. We’ll have to play our best. I’m ready to play. We’re committed to play.”

Marie Altagrace Garrett led her coworkers in their video of #BIGGERLOVECHALLENGE, an Instagram tribute for recording artist John Legend’s song, “Bigger Love.” The Madison women used Legend’s lyrics to demonstrate their love for patients that they meet and treat. The dance routine uses powerful moves to convey their indominable spirit that they want to convey to their patients. On his Instagram account, Legend posted, “I LOVE seeing you all dance to #BIGGERLOVE! Keep posting on IG or TikTok.

The elementary schools in Madison held a drive-by for students and their teachers to meet one another last week. Teachers lined up along the car line, waving and some holding up giant photos of themselves with their name. Students held up posters with their name in an attempt to connect with their new teacher. It was a joyous scene through each grade level as it paraded through. Below are some fun scenes from the drive-thru meet-and-greets. Schools in Madison started virtually last Wednesday.

Madison City Community Orchestra offers lanyards to use with face masks By GREGG L.

The orchestra ordered a stock of lanyards, which are now in and ready to go to individuals. “The lanyards have been sanitized by MCCO members who were wearing masks and gloves. Members wrapped the lanyards in tissue paper and put them into little plastic bags so that they are not touched,” Weisner said. Anyone who wants one … or a dozen … lanyards can contact MCCO. “We are happy to provide the lanyards free of charge,” Weisner said. She said to email director@mccorchestra.org.

Kolenich, Gaines, Jones take MCS district’s top honors By GREGG L. PARKER Gregg.Parker @madisoncountyrecord.com
Kolenich earned a bachelor’s degree from Auburn University in 2005 and a master’s degree in instructional leadership in 2018 from Samford University. Her husband Daniel works for the Department of Defense. They have two children – 11-year-old Aubrey and 9-year-old Ben. Gaines, an engineering teacher at Bob Jones High School, is the MCS District Secondary Teacher of the Year. “My teaching philosophy is relevance, application and service. If we can communicate to students the ‘why’ behind the content, (let them) apply content outside the classroom, and remind our students that working hard to make the world a better place is our job as global citizens, students will be inspired to care about the content,” Gaines said. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Auburn University. Jessye’s husband, Luke Gaines, works as an engineer for Shape Fidelity Inc. They are par-
MADISON – Kristin Kolenich, Jessye Gaines and David Jones received topmost, district-level awards for teacher and staffer for Madison City Schools. MCS leaders announced their selection at Institute Day in July. The three honorees each received a $5,000 check for their dedicated work with Madison children and youth. Kolenich, a reading specialist at Heritage Elementary School, was named MCS District Elementary Teacher of the Year. Describing her teaching philosophy, Kolenich believes “relationships are key. It is so important to get to know a student’s heart, their passions and foster that connection.” “Once you have established a positive relationship, you can find ways to tap into how they learn,” Kolenich said.
ents of two daughters --- Kay, 7, and Glenne, 5. Also from Heritage elementary, Jones was named MCS District Staff Member of the Year for 2020. Jones is a CNP worker in Heritage’s cafeteria. Previously, Jones owned his own restaurant, Just Divine Catering, now his catering business. Jones served eight years in the U.S. Navy as Mess Specialist, 3rd Class, stationed four years in Pensacola, Fla. on the USS Lexington-16. He also served two years in Rota, Spain and two years in the U.S. Reserves. “I think life is about serving others. You have to get involved to make a difference -- if you want others to help you,” Jones said. In dealing with older students, Jones sees “our teenagers as our future. If we teach well and let them lead the way, they become our leaders of tomorrow. Madison City Schools has some of the brightest students of today.”

Sports in Huntsville in Class 4A, becoming the only coach in AHSAA history to win back-to-back state titles in different classifications at different schools. Dugan’s overall coaching record was 617-332 in a career that spanned 1961 to 1998. He was inducted into the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame in 1989. During his retirement he also acted as tournament director of the once very popular and successful SportsMED Shootout held during the Thanksgiving weekend at the Von Braun Center. FCA HOME TEAM CELEBRATION After twice being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) has officially cancelled this year’s Home Team Celebration. The annual two-
day event, usually held at the Von Braun Center, was to feature legendary football coach Steve Spurrier as guest speaker. The FCA was saddened at the choice they had to make as the Home Team Celebration has been an outstanding event for all involved including the hundreds of student-athletes who experienced faith seminars and sportsmanship through an array of gatherings within the FCA guidelines.

Together, we can power through negative stigmas put on those who have limitations as part of the organization.”
COVID-19 situation, many of the usual local participants have not been able to properly train for an event like this one, so this event is expected to have 25 lifters entered,” said Heidi Dehnel, meet director. “This meet, which is opened to the public, will feature mixed levels of talent and divisions with variations of the levels of strength categories.” With the at least 25 lifters expected to try their extended talents through months of preparation, the meet will feature more masters division participants (age 40-plus) with the oldest participant at age 57 and the youngest coming in at age 18.

Go to www.themadisonrecord.com for a detailed look at each candidate qualified to run in the Aug. 25 election and the top issues affecting the city of Madison.
Madison municipal election will be held Tuesday, Aug. 25
By JOHN FEW john.few@madisoncountyrecord,com
MADISON – On Tuesday, Aug. 25, voters will decide who will lead the city of Madison for the next four years. There will be opponents in nearly all Madison city races for the municipal elections, except for the district 7 city council position. Incumbent John Seifert was the only candidate to qualify. In the mayor’s race, two-term incumbent Paul Finley qualified to run for a third term. Challenging him will be Marc Highsmith. In the city council races, James Ross is challenging incumbent Maura Wroblewski for the district 1 position. Joe Gaines and former Madison City Schools board member Connie Spears is challenging current city council president Steve Smith for the district 2 post. Brian Goodwin is running against incumbent Teddy Powell for the district 3 seat; and Jocelyn Broer is challenging incumbent Greg Shaw for the district 4 position. In district 5, long-time city council Tommy Overcash is not running for a fifth term this year. That leaves Madison City Schools Board of Education member Ranae Bartlett and Ryan Clark to run for the open position. In district 6, Gerald Clark has qualified to run in a re-election attempt against challenger Karen Denzine. In addition to the Aug. 25 election date, a runoff is set for Oct. 6, according to the Alabama League of Municipalities’ election calendar. Polls will open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and no write-in votes are allowed. The new term will start on Nov. 2. The next few pages contain a paid

Marc Highsmith, candidate Maura Wroblewski, candidate for Madison City Council Dist. 1 for Mayor of Madison Hello. I am Marc Highsmith, and I am running for Mayor of Madison City. The election is almost upon us. On August 25, you will go to the polls to decide between me and the incumbent mayor, Paul Finley. I know that some of you already have voted. I hope all of those who have not plan to do so. For those of you I have not met and who have not visited my website at highsmith4mayor.com, let me introduce myself. I retired as a Lieutenant Colonel from the U.S. Army, where I was a combat officer and an Inspector General. I live in Madison with my wife, Vicki. My daughter is a graduate of UAH, and my son is a student at UAB. I am not running for mayor because I need a job. I am running for mayor because my parents taught me in my youth, and the U.S. Army taught me as an adult, to recognize and solve problems, and to help people. I see problems in Madison, and people who need help. Madison is one of the fastest growing cities in Alabama. We are blessed with some excellent employers who offer high-paying jobs to our citizens. What, then, are our problems? Our first problem is growth. Increases in jobs and population bring both
opportunities and obligations. In addition to jobs and money, they bring increased traffic, demands for more police and fire protection, crowded classrooms, crowding in our parks and green spaces, and environmental pollution. Growth that does not pay to alleviate those problems pushes them off on us, costs us money, and decreases our quality of life. We feel the negative effects of growth in Madison because the present administration has considered the demands of special interests over the needs of the people. Dealing with that is the price we pay for the deals they make. Madison is experiencing some friction between its police department and the public. Public trust and support are the greatest protection an officer can have when performing her or his duty. As mayor, I will act immediately to strengthen the bond between our police and the communities they serve. This short article is only an introduction between us. I have specific plans to meet the needs I have described, and others. Please visit my website at highsmith4mayor.com to see my platform. Marc Highsmith Candidate for Mayor, Madison
As Mayor Marc Highsmith will: • Bring Accountability to the Office of Mayor with clean responsive governance, no vested interests, and no PAC money. • Build a Community of Inclusion, with a Veterans Support Board, focus on people-driven smart growth to reduce the burden on the overcrowded schools, roads, hospitals, Police, Fire, and utilities, and ensure better quality of life for all. • Ensure Transparency in economic development, other public interest decisions, and in book-keeping that is open to the public, make informed decisions and be a good steward of tax-payer money.
My name is Maura Wroblewski and I am running for a second term for District 1 on the Madison City Council. In 2016, my priorities were: - An increase in multi-use paths and Greenway space. - Supporting our Madison City Schools (MCS). - Positive retail growth by bringing new businesses to Madison and by filling vacant storefronts. I am pleased to say that my personal #1 goal for our District has been accomplished with the completion of the Wall Triana Multi-Use Path! This path will most importantly provide a safe and secure means for folks who may have transportation concerns to safely walk to Kroger and other nearby businesses or walk with their children to West Madison. Secondly, it will increase our “greenway” space where folks who want to exercise will be able to do this safely. Residents and visitors will be able to leave a bit smaller carbon footprint as well. Thirdly, with the addition of West Madison to be a PreK Center and the new Midtown Elementary School in August 2021, parents will be able to walk with their children to and from school. This will hopefully help with the congestion at both arrival and dismissal times. My
many thanks to Mayor Finley because this project would not have happened without his support and leadership. The Mill Creek Greenway extension has started. This greenway will continue from the dog park on Browns Ferry and go between the Oakstone and Foxfield subdivisions. Phase two will end at the parking lot in Oakstone. The third and final phase will go between Bridgefield and Park Meadow and will end at the Wall Triana multi use path. With regard to MCS, I supported the Property Tax increase as requested by the Madison Board of Education. As previously mentioned, the new elementary school is under construction and the middle school will soon follow. This will also provide for needed additions to both high schools. The shopping center across from City Hall is being renovated. Fleet Feet, Bicycle Cove and I Love Coffee have announced they will open there. Culvers recently opened. Bojangles and Waffle House will soon begin construction Lastly, Tom Browns Restaurant, an upscale dining experience is now open. I am actively engaged on social media. I have a Facebook page: (www.facebook. com/MauraforDistrict1) and a website: www.maurafordistrict1.com. Maura Wroblewski
Let me continue to represent you in support of
Madison City Schools and enhanced lifestyle amenities like the
Wall Triana Multi-Use Path and the
Mill Creek Greenway Extension.
I ask for your support on August 25th.

Gerald Clark, candidate for Madison City Council Dist. 6 I have been humbled and honored to serve the people of Madison and specifically the residents of District 6. As your councilman, my responsibility is to represent your voice and I have taken this responsibility seriously. I have an opendoor policy with the residents of Madison, especially the residents of District 6, because I want to represent you. I cannot do that unless I have dialogue with you. In addition to knowing your desires, I also use my education, knowledge and professional experience and expertise to work for you and bettering the City of Madison. During my tenure on City Council, I have served on several boards for the city, including: Water and Wastewater Board, Madison Municipal Cemeteries Committee, Beautification and Tree Board, Madison Station Historic Preservation Commission, Madison City Disability Advocacy Board, Madison Municipal Court, and Public works and Engineering. My leadership has led to a great deal of progress in our city. Some of these accomplishments include updates and increased capacity to the water treatment and sewer plant and the purchasing of Three Springs, which will now be repurposed for a community center. I have fought hard for our schools’ success by actively supporting the school property tax and fighting for responsible growth. I drove for the prioritization of projects that had bonds issued. This prioritization led to the improvements being made on Hughes and Sullivan roads, Wall-Triana multi-use path and increased number of sidewalks in our community. One of the many reasons I have a desire to serve is because I love our community. I was born and raised in Madison County and graduated from Johnson High School. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Landscape Architecture from Auburn University and hold a professional license in Alabama. I work as a Project Manager and Landscape Architect at a civil engineering company in Huntsville. I’ve been married to Tina, also a native of Madison County, for 24 years. We have raised our two sons, Phillip and William, here in Madison. Phillip graduated from Bob Jones High School in 2016 and is currently serving in the US Army as an Aviator stationed in Fort Irwin, California. William is in the 8th grade at Discovery Middle School.
One of the key issues I spoke out against was the Kyser Blvd. zoning proposal, which rezoned industrial land to residential land. To me, that is not smart growth and does not help our schools, our roads or our growing city. In January of 2019, I spoke against the initiative at the Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission voted 5-4 not recommending the rezoning of Kyser. On April 8th, April 28th, and May 28th City Council tabled the motion to June 10th. On June 10th city council approved the initiative without Planning Commission recommendation. I was threatened to back down between June 4-10, 2019 or an ethics complaint would be filed against me. I would not back down and did not see a problem as to why I should not speak out and vote against an initiative that I knew was not in the best interest of our community. As a result, someone filed an ethics complaint against me, in attempt to block my voice and vote. The complaint did not provide specifics because ethics complaints are covered by The Alabama Grand Jury law which seals the details of the complaint. Working through this issue caused me to temporarily refrain from making some votes, mainly votes pertaining to real estate issues. I have since received verification from the Ethics Commission which exonerates me from any conflict of interest that was implied by the complaint. In fact, I did not have a conflict and was well within my rights, as a resident and your councilman, to speak out as well as vote on this issue, as well as with many other issues. My opponent will tell you that I am not voting and cannot vote but that is simply not true. While I have abstained from some votes during this time, I have consistently voted during my tenure and worked hard to represent your voice. Let’s put my voting record in perspective. Over the past four years, city council has made in the ballpark of 850 votes and I have refrained from around 10% of those votes. I am representing you! What my opponent is not telling you is that: while she attended several of these city meetings, she is not on record for speaking for or against any of these issues facing the city. If she wants to be your voice, why did she stay silent? Why should we believe that she will now start speaking out when she has had ample time to do so in the last four years but refrained from doing so?
Gerald and Tina Clark with their two sons, Phillip and William. Let me leave you with this, I believe in our city. We have great opportunity for growth. My commitment to you is that I will continue to fight for our schools through supporting funding initiatives and monitored, slow growth. I will push for opportunities and follow through on projects as we improve our road infrastructure to reduce the amount of time you spend driving and increase road
safety. I will also work with other city leaders and planners to enable responsible city growth, increasing our emphasis on economic development. I have had to stand up to powerful people with big money in the past and I will continue to do so as I represent you with open and honest communication. I’d appreciate your vote for Gerald Clark on August 25th. Gerald Clark
City mails postcards to voters who vary between two polls locations By STAFF REPORTS MADISON – During the week of Aug. 10, the City of Madison mailed approximately 11,412 postcards to those voters in Madison who have two different voting locations. For these voters, the voting location varies, depending on what type of election is occurring, according to Melanie A. Williard, who works as City of Madison City Clerk-Treasurer. The city mailed postcards to voters in Madison who vote for county/state/ federal elections in one place but vote in municipal (or city) elections at a different site. “These cards are being
sent to alert those voters for the Aug. 25 municipal election. They will go to a different voting location than they went to for the primary in March or run-off in July,” Williard said. In addition, the postcard reminds individuals that they will return to the March/July voting site for the November election. “This info is also on their voter registration card from Madison County but not a lot of folks look at those,” Williard said. For more, visit www.madisonal. gov. Click the “Government” pulldown menu, and then click “Election Information.” Scroll down for a list of all districts and their voting sites.

The quality and kinds of commercial developments do not reflect the demographic of the City of Madison, which has a median household income of $99,212, compared to a national average of $55,322. The City of Madison must make smart choices in the next four years: the choice to control growth, focusing on the success of commercial developments over new neighborhoods; the choice to work with our school system on developing a funding plan and developing an equation for growth that can allow residential growth with a plan for school and infrastructure funding; the choice to work transparently and openly to insure our citizens are a part of the process, not an afterthought. The thoughts of the opportunity that the City of Madison has in front of it are the reason I decided to run for City Council. I want to be a voice in the choices that will be made in the next four years. I think this is particularly important for District 3, as the largest opportunities for commercial growth are in our district. Town Madison and the re-development of Madison Boulevard offer some of the largest commercial development opportunities for Madison. These are all located in District 3. I live right next to Town Madison and travel Madison Boulevard every day. I believe it is important that particular area of District 3 has a voice on the City Council. Brian Goodwin

V OTE C ONNIE S PEARS FOR D ISTRICT 2 ON A UGUST 25 TH
My name is Brian Goodwin and I’m running for Madison City Council District 3. I moved to the City of Madison and District 3 in 1994, when I relocated to take my current job after graduating from college with my bachelor’s in engineering. At that time, Madison had a population of almost 23000 people and was in a very different situation than which it finds itself today. It was still clinging to its identity as a small town but wanted more. In the next 4 years, the City of Madison would separate from the county school system and launch its own, independent, Madison City Schools. Over the next 3 decades, Madison would face unprecedented growth, making it currently the fastest growing city in Alabama. What does all of that have to do with my run for City Council? In that time, I’ve settled in Madison City, through a couple of apartment and house moves (all in District 3), met my wife, had two children, and begun to raise a family. There has been a lot of change, both in my life and in the City of Madison. Despite all of that change, I don’t think there has ever been a more pivotal time in the life of Madison City, particularly for district 3. Madison has faced unprecedented residential growth, with the strong desire of new families to move into the City of Madison to take advantage of our nationally ranked public schools, but com-

You may know Connie from her two 5-year terms on the City of Madison Board of Education and her extensive advocacy on behalf of the students of Madison. Connie will bring that same level of passion and determination to her seat on the Madison City Council. Connie’s platform of smart growth, fiscal responsibility and transparency will ensure that Madison’s future is bright. Connie’s plans for smart growth include balancing our residential growth with industrial, retail and commercial growth to broaden our tax base and tax revenues, without having to continue to go to our residents with sales and property tax increases to support our infrastructure and our schools. Connie promises to be a good steward of the city’s finances. Balancing the competing demands of economic development, infrastructure, quality of life improvements and debt servicing requires that hard choices are made. Through Smart Growth and Transparency, we can be good financial stewards while still providing the services you expect and deserve. For your voice to be heard, you must know and understand the issues facing our city. But for the council to really listen, it must adopt a new sense of openness. With Connie on the council, she promises to give you a seat at the table while the

Karen Denzine
Karen Denzine, candidate for Ranae Bartlett, candidate for Madison City Council Dist. 6 Madison City Council Dist. 5 Ranae Bartlett
Ranae Bartlett’s family moved to Madison in 2003. Since 2011, she has served the citizens of Madison on the Board of Education. As Board President, she presided over the largest period of growth the school system has faced. Her experience includes managing large budgets, personnel, and public relations. Bartlett is an attorney, having served as a law clerk to federal judges at the trial and appellate level. She also worked for Wal-Mart Stores Inc. as Assistant General Counsel and Director of Risk Analysis and Security Resources before moving to Madison, Alabama. In 2013 Bartlett founded and began serving as Executive Director of the Madison City Chess League (MCCL), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting chess education in the Madison area. Bartlett’s platform is grounded in responsible growth; protecting and supporting the school system; and transparency. To Bartlett, responsible growth means balancing our desire for growth with our ability to pay for city services, infrastructure, roads, and education. She says a strategic plan is needed so that the city can take care of what we have within the city limits be-
fore continuing to annex more property. Residential growth by itself does not generate sufficient revenue to pay for the increased cost of city services and education. According to Bartlett, economic development should be a top priority for Madison with an emphasis on commercial and industrial development. “People move to Madison because of its outstanding school system. The credit for a high-quality school system goes to our families and PTA members, our teachers, and administrators who work tirelessly every day to make it great. We need our city leaders to be mindful of that fact, and we need to elect city leaders who will protect our school system because of what it means to our City and its future.” According to Bartlett, any plan for growing the City has to take into account the impact on our school system. Bartlett would like to improve transparency in Madison City government stating that “Madison residents deserve honesty and transparency from their elected officials.” Residents need to have a clear understanding of the factors that go into their council member’s decision to vote yea/nay on significant issues.
To each resident of Madison, District 6 - it is your choice to select the person who will be your voice on your City Council for the next four years. My name is Karen Denzine - I ask to be your voice. Knocking on doors is the best part of campaigning. Hearing what you have to say is crucial for me to be an effective leader. I’ve listened to the voices of hundreds of District 6 residents since my campaign began. We’ve had in-depth conversations on our positive outlook for Madison. We’ve also discussed common sense solutions to some of Madison’s growth problems. Two topics are strongly voiced. “Stop constantly expanding Madison while our services are not being properly maintained.” Managed growth is necessary. We need a balance. Each proposed development or annexation should be evaluated and assessed on merit. Does the development benefit the city or cost the city? My background - both in education and in work taught me city planning: the principles of zoning, annexation, easements and property rights. With my knowledge of city planning and the residents’ voice, together we will find solutions for our crowded classrooms and congested roads. I served on the Industrial Development Board where we brought jobs to Madison. I’ve attended CC meeting and Work sessions for years. I have studied and learned
the issues. This brings me to the 2nd topic. Why is my Council man not voting? Why is he always in the Hallway? The residents and I share this frustration. Meeting after meeting, the frustration grew as Mr Clark repeatedly either abstained or recused himself. The public records, the MCC Archives, show since Jan 1, 2020, Mr Clark recused himself over 30 times - over 50 times since June 2019. If you add the abstentions the numbers only become worse. When Mr Clark did not vote, the residents of District 6 did not have a voice in their city government. My husband and I have retired in Madison. My campaign is not funded by developers. I foresee no instance where I would have a conflict of interest on a vote before City Council. I am honored to be endorsed by the Alabama Police Benevolent Association. I support Madison’s law enforcement officers and I am grateful for their dedicated service. The citizens of District 6 deserve a voice on their City Council. They deserve to be represented. I pledge to represent you. I respectfully ask to be your voice on your City Council. Your choice. Your voice. On Tuesday, August 25th, vote for the person who will be your voice on your City Council. Vote for Karen Denzine. Karen Denzine
