Marty Handlon Mayor, City of Alabaster From the Mayor’s Desk... Bring on the springtime weather—especially since Easter is early this year! I hope each of you have enjoyed a meaningful Lenten season so far, and are looking forward to celebrating all that Easter means for us. I am ready for beautiful blooms all around us, and beautiful days at the ballfields. Let’s play ball!! This month is the beginning of busy season for all parks. There will be plenty of activity at all fields with the city’s youth sports programs and weekend travel ball tournaments. I know the new restrooms at Veterans Park will be appreciated by many this summer; and very soon, we will see improvements to some of the Tee Boxes along our Disc Golf Course. Members of our Park & Recreation Department work hard to keep our parks in great condition for our residents, and they take pride in their work. If you see something damaged, broken, or not quite right, please don’t hesitate to bring it to their attention—as we have grown, there is more to maintain and care for, as well as more people enjoying all of it. This is also the time of year we begin taking applications for new members to our Alabaster Teen Council. I hope many of our young people were able to enjoy the summer activities planned and sponsored by our current Teen Council. They have done an outstanding job this year, and I hope several of them will return for another year, so they can build on their experiences and help new members get involved. Any teenager (grades 8th through 11th) interested should complete an application found on the city website, or call city hall for more information. At a February meeting, the city council appointed three new members to the Alabaster Industrial Development Board. I would like to thank the members rolling off with expired terms for their many years of dedicated service: Ollie Cotton, Brenda Fitzgerald, and Paul Hawanawitz. (Paul and Brenda are still serving the city on our Commercial Development Authority.) We welcome new members—Stan Brown, Charles Cornelius, and Chris Wade in their service to our city, and appreciate their desire to serve in this capacity. I hope each will receive personal joy through their commitment to serve. We also have expired terms coming up on our Board of Zoning and Adjustment. If you would like to know more about this Board and are interested in serving, please complete a citizen involvement form so we can contact you. Finally, I want to applaud our Warrior Wrestling program in their advancement to the State Championship tournament, in spite of a rough start this season. The Warriors may not have finished in first place, but we are proud of their representation and fight to the end. Congratulations to TJ Rayam, Dominic LaTona, and Gabe Hixenbaugh for their individual State Titles in their weight class. They still know who we are, and we will be back! Have a Blessed Easter!
