Here are the top stories in Huntsville today:

1. SchoolCraft, the school supply store in Huntsville, will be closing after 46 years serving the community. They will be open through April 1 or until their stock sells out, so make sure to support the staple to Huntsville while you still can! (WHNT)
2. The Lee-Huntsville Generals beat Mae Jemison 65-45 over the weekend to get their record to 18-5. The Generals are the reigning champions and are currently ranked number one. (AL.com)
3. Huntsville is working to offer more options for subsidized housing for senior citizens to respond to the increase in need. There are currently two projects in the works, the Cottages at Indian Creek and the Arbours at Moor’s Mill, costing over $15 million each. (WAFF)

Last week, we told you about our new favorite non-alcoholic go-to — the refreshingly bitter drinks from our partners at Betera. They’re chef-created from natural botanicals, lightly effervescent and worthy of life beyond “Dry January.” We mentioned that their Ginger-Orange was excellent; we’ve since tried Elderflower-Lime and loved it as well — light and floral with the perfect amount of zing. We're converts.

Enough of you took Betera up on their 15% discount on first orders for Patch Daily readers that they’ve extended the offer for another week. Use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — try Betera here.
