Here are the top stories in Montgomery today:
- The state has surpassed 15,000 COVID-19 deaths, and some of those lost include educators, which is why the Alabama Association of School Boards held a memorial dedication on Sunday. Although dozens of names were read, Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed said the ceremony was less about numbers and more about lives forever impacted. Said Reed, "Whether you are a teacher, whether you are a cafeteria worker, a bus driver, or whatever position you may hold, you have an impact on our community through education." Those who wish to visit the memorial can go to the AASB office, which is located at the corner of South Jackson and Houston Streets in Montgomery. (WVAS 90.7 FM)
- A Montgomery man died Sunday night when the ATV he rode was struck by a vehicle driven by his grandfather. The victim was identified as 26-year-old and recent college graduate Douglas Brown. He had apparently gone hunting Sunday with his grandfather who lives in Henry County. A preliminary investigation reveals Brown had stopped his ATV as his grandfather, unable to see it, struck that off-road vehicle. (WSFA 12)
- Indoor playground Newtopia Fun Park will be hosting its fourth annual fall festival on Friday, Oct. 22. Attendees can enjoy a series of games, trick or treating, face painting, and a caramel apple station. Children are encouraged to wear costumes, which will get them 10% off admission as well as an entry to the costume contest. (Newtopia Fun Park)
