Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Groundbreaking held for new Lawrence Medical Center (moultonadvertiser.com) — A new $14 million Lawrence Medical Center outpatient facility is coming to Moulton near Walmart, promising extended‑hours urgent care, imaging, lab work, and more close to home. Local leaders, including Mayor Ryan Jolly, say the 10,000‑square‑foot center will especially benefit the county's aging population and allow room for future expansion on its 20‑acre site.
2. No one injured during road rage, firearm incident last night (moultonadvertiser.com) — Police say a driver fired a gun into the air during a road‑rage confrontation that ended in the Moulton Walmart parking lot Tuesday evening, but no one was hurt and nothing was hit. Moulton officers and the Lawrence County Sheriff's Office responded, and the suspect was arrested for public intoxication after allegedly firing a single shot while under the influence.

Huntsville Hospital building outpatient facility in Lawrence County; Decatur will be home to Alabama AI Accelerator; Waverly Advisors acquires Virginia-based firm; Gulf Winds Credit Union to acquire P (businessalabama.com) — Moulton is getting a new 10,000‑square‑foot Lawrence Medical Center outpatient facility, part of a broader wave of regional growth and investment. The same roundup notes an AI accelerator coming to Decatur and several financial sector acquisitions, signaling changing economic opportunities across North Alabama and beyond.
4. Thelma Orlee Thompson Welch (sumnercountysource.com) — A 96-year-old woman who was born in Moulton is being remembered by family and friends, with funeral services set for Saturday, October 3, in Dickson, Tennessee.
