After mayor died, Smiths Station explains how the vacancy will be filled

The City of Smiths Station has announced the process it will follow to determine its next mayor. Mayor Richard Cooley died Oct. 24 at Columbus Hospice House. He was elected in August 2025 . According to Alabama law, the city council fills the vacancy by electing a successor to serve the remainder of the four-year term, which runs through November 2029.

Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms flips 6 Republican-leaning precincts in Columbus

Twelve Muscogee County voting precincts Gov. Brian Kemp won in his 2022 race against Stacey Abrams swung 10.7 points toward Gov.-elect Keisha Lance Bottoms in Tuesday’s election, according to a report by the government relations and public affairs firm Ohio River South . The shift in these Republican-leaning precincts began in 2022 and continued in 2024, Karl Douglass, a partner at Ohio River South, told the Ledger-Enquirer. But he said there was a noticeable uptick in 2026. “Those 12 precincts that Kemp won that are in north Columbus and midtown, Keisha Lance Bottoms won six of them outright,” Douglass said. “And in every one of them, she gained ground against both the (Kamala) Harris share of the vote and the Abrams share of the vote in ‘24 and ‘22, respectively.” The report said the Democratic share of the vote in those precincts rose from 39.6% to 50.3%. In Muscogee County, already a solid Democratic stronghold, the number of voters who chose the Democratic nominee in the governor’s race increased by 7.1 percentage points from four years ago. How Bottoms outperformed in Republican-leaning precincts Bottoms, the first Black woman elected governor in the United States, won Muscogee County by 20,676 votes,

FPD can't maintain hot start, falls to St. Anne-Pacelli in home playoff game

Brett Collier had more words than usual as he stood in the middle of players, cheerleaders, families and fans after yet another game. Then he was done, and a path opened for him to depart. And suddenly, a collection of a 100 or so adults and another 100 high schoolers hardly moved, and there was an odd and mournful silence for a collection that large that lasted about a minute. A season-ending loss at home will do that. FPD got off to a dream start, but St. Anne-Pacelli eventually woke up and had a strong second half for a 28-14 win Friday at George S. Johnson Memorial Stadium in a GIAA Class 4A first-round playoff game. “They’ve got really good team speed,” said Collier, whose team lost 22-21 to St. Anne Pacelli on the same field to, ironically, open the season. “You can’t give them things.” FPD’s season ended at 6-5, the first time under the fourth-year head coach the Vikings didn’t win a playoff game. St. Anne-Pacelli improved to 7-4 and will be back in town next week to play Stratford. The first quarter was a near-perfect FPD script. St. Anne-Pacelli had a nice opening possession going, sparked by

Shaw beats Monroe to secure Georgia high school football state playoff berth

The Shaw Raiders (5-5, 3-5) are back in the Georgia High School Association football state playoffs for the first time since 2024. They defeated Monroe 12-8 (2-8, 2-5) Thursday night at Kinnett Stadium in Columbus. Monroe got on the scoreboard first on a 77-yard run by sophomore running back Carter Hudson, and they converted on the two-point conversion to go up 8-0. Shaw responded when sophomore quarterback Daylen Peterson scored on a quarterback keeper, but the Raiders failed on their two-point try. After the first quarter, Monroe led Shaw 8-6. In the second quarter, Monroe was driving down the field and was stopped by the Shaw defense at the 8-yard line. Shaw moved the ball to the other side of the field when the Raiders converted on a third-and-18 as Peterson connected with junior wide receiver Marquell Charleston for a 35-yard gain that put the Raiders at first-and-goal. But failed to score as Monroe’s defense made a goal-line stop. Monroe flipped the field and moved the ball to the 50-yard line but was forced to punt. The Raiders were pinned deep after the punt landed on their 1-yard line. Shaw drove the ball away from the goal line but didn’t
