2. Huntsville Havoc’s head coach Glenn Detulleo has announced his retirement after 11 years. Detulleo will continue for the 2022/2023 season, his 11th season, before transitioning to executive general manager. Assistant Coach Stuart Stefan will take over as head coach. (WAFF)
3. The Madison County Commission has voted to keep current insurance rates for retirees. This means that retirees won’t have to pay more next year, which should keep more money in their pocket. (WHNT News 19)
4. Residents of Madison County are sharing frustrations with the Madison County Service Center, which opened last March. County officials have also noticed that what was supposed to help take the pressure off other service locations, has now become incredibly congested with the needs of citizens.
