Cornmunity Section -Page 5 Lin ! : ' i( - 18, 2012 | | in ,in ! tli Brenda Tuck, MCEDD explained Amendment two to the city council on Tuesday, Oct. 16. She explained how Amendment two is vital to Alabamians keeping their jobs, and growth. She explained that Marengo County needed to do their part and raise the $7,500 that was asked for the advertis- ing campaign to pass the amendment. There was a motion to donate the $1,000 by Councilman Richard Lankster, with a second by Councilman Neal Jackson. The motion passed with a unanimous vote. Councilman Lankster expressed his thoughts about the amendment. "I think it's a good thing to support. We are in a win-win and other cities in Marengo County have donated their share." Councilman Mike Carlisle asked, "How soon will progress be made if the amendment pass- es?" Tuck answered, "We won't have any recruiting funds if it doesn't pass. It's in our best interest to make sure it passes." Dem0polis IDB, Linden IDB, and the city of Demopolis have all donated $1,000. The city of Thomaston has donated $500. Marengo County Commissioners were also talked to regarding a donation. In other city business, there was a school board member appointment. There was a 4-1 vote to appoint Robert Alston, a Linden Police officer to the board. Councilman Richard Lankster voted for Judy Compton. Three seized vehicles from 2008 were declared surplus, so there could be a sale. The funds upon the sale will go into the police drug fund. After a 25 minute executive session regarding personnel, tfiere was news of a resignation. Cheryl Hall, City of L'mden Administrator gave her resigna- tion on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at the city council meeting. Mayor Mitzi Gates and city council members were sad- dened by the news. The effec- tive date of her resignation is set for Friday, Nov. 2, 2012. The council tried to negotiate Hall as an interim administrator to finish the current year, but no decision was ngade. H~ explaihed:thht she wants to retire. She had plans to retire last year, but gave herself an extra year. There was discussion over the terms of'her resignation with a motion to accept her res- ignation with provisions. The city will pay her vacation pay over a ten week period in the amount of $1,600. During that time she will be able to keep her city insurance. She will also receive 25% of her accumula- tive sick time. The city will also pay for her schooling in May. This will let her maintain her court certification. Hall said, "I enjoyed work- ing with all of you and enjoyed serving Linden for the last 17 and half years." There will be a decision regarding Hall staying on with- in the next few weeks after the new Mayor and council are informed.

Mclntosh, black male, 31of Sweet Water was arrested on October 12 for Incident/Offense: On October 9 police responded to Coats Ave East where a report was taken for passing Counterfeit money. On October 12 police were called to Stough Ln. where a report was taken for Criminal Mischief IIL Linden senior quarterback Anthony Robinson was named to the Alabama High School Athletic Association Spotlight after Friday stellar performance in a the Patriots 58-0 win over county-tivak Marengo. Umden coach Andro Williams said the Patriots offense "begins and ends with Anthony" and it sure did Friday. Robinson threw five touchdown passes and scored on a 56-yard punt return. Robinson completed 13-of-16 passes for 262 yards. Despite his outstanding performance, top honors in the AHSAA Spotlight went to Haleyville High School sen- ior quarterback Tanner Ivey who has seen some highs and lows in his high prep football career for the Lions. As a sophomore starting quarterback and linebacker, he broke his hand in a game that saw then-Fayette County head coach Waldon Tucker become the state's all-dine career wins leader. As a junior, he was diag- nosed with Type 1 diabetes, said his dad Mike Ivey, and lost a lot of weight as he continued to play the dual role of quarterback and linebacker. This season, however, new head coach Mike Heaton intro- duced a new offensive scheme that would spread the field and allow Ivey and his teammates to throw the football more. Heaton also decided to take Ivey off his linebacker post and use him only when necessary on defense as an additional defensive back. Friday night that strategy came to full fruition as Ney completed 24-of-38 passes for 496 yards and six touchdowns as the Lions beat Priceville 68- 37. Leading only 42-28 at the half, Ivey and his teammates outscored the Bulldogs 26-0 in the third quarter before exiting offense by completing 17-of-23 pass attempts for 327 yards and five touchdowns. He also rushed for another score. In other top performances reported last weekend: M1TCH STULTS, HAMIL- TON: The senior quarterback was 13-of-14 passing for 263 yards and three touchdowns, rushed for 45 yards and two scores and added eight tackles and two interceptions on defense as the Aggies beat Winfield 51-28. Stults returned one of his picks for a touch- down. With the performance, he moves to within 126 yards of the AHSAA career all-purpose yardage record. Hamilton plays at Winston County this Friday night. KRISTIAN JONES, HACK- LEBURG: The Panthers' fresh- man nmning back ran for 351 yards and four touchdowns on 26 carries in a 40-16 win over Phillips. NICK MULLENS, SPAIN PARK: Completed 40-of-46 passes for 322 yards and three touchdowns in a 34-13 win over Oak Mountain.

CODY O'TOOLE, ONEON- TA: The quarterback was 19-of- 25 passing for 308 yards with four touchdowns - upping his season total to 1,600 yards and 25 touchdowns - as the unbeat- en Redskins (7-0) beat Fairview 59-21. Alvin Scott had seven catches for 105 yards and two scores, two interceptions for 74 yards and another TD. He now has 13 TD receptions on the sea- son. Jalen Johnson also had five receptions for 132 yards and two scores to give him nine on the game for good with 1:32 theyear. remaining in the period. The performance earned him the AHSAA Prep Sprtfi~ht for Week 7. "Tanner was injured the week before against Brooks," said Heaton. "We had made up our minds that we would spread the field and throw a little more. Tanner has worked so hard, is a great leader and it all just kind of came together. It was an incred- ible performance by him and our offense. He's a tough kid and probably didn't throw for 500 yards in either of the two previous seasons. He is now 104-of-169 on the year for 1,563 yards and 15 touchdowns. He's only thrown four intercep- tions." The 496 yards passing ranks ninth all-time and is the top sin- gle-game performance in the state this season. The record (565 yards) was set by Chris Smelley of American Christian in the Class 1A semifinals in 2005. Seven other 500.yard plus performances have also been recorded in the AHSAA Record Book.
