• Shepherd appeals ADEM's dismissal of her Arrowhead hearing request (perrycountyherald.net) — A Uniontown resident has taken her fight over the Arrowhead Landfill expansion to Montgomery County Circuit Court, asking a judge to review ADEM's dismissal of her hearing request. The case centers on a major increase in the landfill's capacity and long-running concerns about coal ash and other waste brought into Alabama, giving Montgomery courts a key role in a high‑profile environmental dispute.
   

• Mrs. Susan Louise Beverett Hudson (thecricket.com) — Montgomery natives may remember Susan "Susie" Hudson, who was born in the city in 1945 and recently passed away at 81 in Alexander City.
