In the 26 years I’ve been covering Hoover as a reporter or editor, I’ve had the opportunity to cover five mayors and eight school superintendents during their terms (counting two interim superintendents).
In one more month, I’ll start covering my sixth Hoover mayor. This month, in our lead cover story, I share how Mayor-elect Nick Derzis is preparing to take on his new role after serving 20 years as police chief and some of the primary topics his transition team is addressing. It’ll be interesting to see what kinds of changes he and a new City Council will make.
In this edition, Kelli Hewett also introduces us to Nancy Kamm, a Hoover resident who for her 80th birthday decided to take a hike on an 84-mile ancient English fort. Kamm sounds like quite an adventurous character and I bet she has more tales to tell.
Jordyn Davis shares some Halloween activities happening around town and we’ve got the rundown on some non-Halloween events as well. Enjoy reading as the leaves change their colors around us.
