The event, running through Jul. 14, combining adult and youth championships, will feature various sports like archery, powerlifting, swimming, and wheelchair tennis.

2. Former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Mike Bolin vies for the Jefferson County Commission seat in a special election, emphasizing his conservative background and commitment to economic opportunities and law enforcement. Bolin, a lifelong resident of Jefferson County, highlights the importance of the election in a county facing varying crime rates across its cities. Despite the nonpartisan nature of the election, Bolin's Republican affiliation and experience as a Republican Party chair are known, contributing to his candidature. (1819 News)
