SUMMARY: Business owners in Baldwin may soon be able to sell alcohol on Sundays, as the mayor has suggested. Aldermen will discuss approving Sunday alcohol sales, citing potential benefits such as increased tax revenue for infrastructure projects and attracting other businesses. However, some residents are concerned about the impact on observing the Lord's day. The decision will consider the views of the community, especially churches. If approved, Aldermen will need to set a specific time frame for alcohol sales. The group will convene next month to further discuss this proposal. Ultimately, the goal is to ensure the happiness and contentment of residents in the city.

Mayor Roslynn Clark said aldermen will meet to discuss approving alcohol sales on Sundays.

SUMMARY: The Bobcats have advanced to the state championship, which was their goal, thanks to a tough schedule that prepared them well. They've defeated five of the six teams on their schedule that reached their own state championships. In the 4A final, they'll face Ripley, a team new to the Big Dance in decades. Bobcats coach, Sumrall, believes their experience gives them an edge to win a second title in three years. The team is built on a high standard of success with a deep lineup that poses a threat every pitch. Three area teams will compete for titles this week, starting with West Marion on Tuesday.
