Foley City Council elections approaching; officials stress importance of voting
FOLEY, Ala. (WKRG) — While voter turnout is often low for local elections, Foley officials say voting locally is just as important as voting in national elections. George County deputies investigating homicide 'Those elections … determine the leaders who will make decisions regarding roads, improvements and how to guide development in the upcoming term,' a City of Foley news release said. In the upcoming Foley City Council elections, four of five district seats are contested. In the 2020 census, Foley reported a population of 20,335 residents, with 16,086 of those being old enough to vote, the release said. Yet, only 1,260 votes were cast that year during municipal elections. Foley Mayor Ralph Hellmich, who is unopposed for this term, said a small percentage of the registered voters usually turn out, but he said it is extremely important for them to vote. 'People need to please get out and vote,' he said. 'We have one voting place for all of Foley. There's not a lot of people who vote in municipal elections … there will not be lines out the door.' He said that typically only about 12-15 percent of people vote, and that is not acceptable. As of July 27, the Alabama Secretary of State showed Foley had 20,193 registered voters. Of those, only 17,095 were active, while 3,098 were inactive — meaning they have not voted in the last four years, according to the release. Residents can find out if they are registered on the Alabama Secretary of State's website. To find out what district a resident lives in, visit the City of Foley website.

Mobile to bid ‘iconic' ship farewell
OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. (WKRG) — The SS United States Conservancy is in the early design phase of a land-based museum to display artifacts and showcase the history of the SS United States. Mobile business employee injured while trying to stop alleged shoplifter The museum's exact location has not yet been decided, though renderings have begun based on dimensions of potential property in partnership with Okaloosa County. Early rendering of the potential museum in Okaloosa County with ship parts of the SS United States. (Courtesy of SS United States Conservancy) Warren Jones with the Conservancy Board of Directors said a meeting will take place this week with top donors to push forward the presented designs. 'The county has, again, partnered with us so we'll help out with the search for property and bounce around some ideas on that as well, and then they're involved in the transport of funnels to a temporary location,' Jones said. 'We've looked at the exhibits, and we've kind of mapped out what we would exhibit in the museum. There are thousands and thousands of artifacts for this museum, and they are all over the East Coast.' Having launched 74 years ago, the SS United States holds the transatlantic speed records during her maiden voyage and has carried over 1 million passengers during her time on the water before being docked in 1996. 'The record's never been broken, both eastbound and westbound, never been broken,' Jones added. 'It will never be matched, and so it's really that, you know, we, the SS United States Conservancy, have tried since 2011 to have this ship repurposed as a multi-purpose stationary ship, hotel rooms, event spaces, eateries, as such.'

Mobile apartment complex overrun with trash and critters
MOBILE, Ala. (WKRG) —Garbage piling up, safety hazards, and wildlife roaming the grounds have all become commonplace, a tenant from the Crossings at Pinebrook says. Residents wake up to find Jubilee in Fairhope Residents say their complaints have been ignored, but News 5 was able to get some answers. Management blames the problem on a broken trash compactor and says they are working to resolve the problem. One resident who did not want her name or face shown said the trash problem is out of control. 'Mattresses, tires, like bags of like, seafood boils everywhere. So it smells, it smells bad, but think about it. It's so hot, and then you've got trash down in the sun,' she said. She said the garbage is also attracting some unwanted visitors around the apartment. 'We've had vultures, raccoons, possums. People think I'm joking, I say, no, no. They literally fly over the trash. This isn't a zoo,' she explained. While the area by the trash compactor has the largest amount of garbage, this resident said it's not her only concern, as there are a number of other trash bags, littered items, and food scattered throughout the complex. 'You see how filthy this is? I hate to say it, but this is a good day for this apartment,' she said. The garbage isn't the only complaint she's had that's gone unaddressed by the apartment. There's a number of safety issues including downed stop signs, huge potholes, and exposed wires throughout the complex. 'There's supposed to be a stop sign right there. And this is a safety issue because, again, not just kids, but people walk through here all the time,' she continued. Residents say they just want basic upkeep before conditions get any worse. Foshee Residential is the management company for the Crossings at Pinebrook. A spokesperson shared a message with us that was sent to residents today. 'We understand that the recent issues with the trash collection have been frustrating for everyone, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused,' the statement read.
