Seven more vehicle break-ins were reported to Alexander City authorities Tuesday morning, bringing the total this month to 22, and police chief Jay Turner is responding by putting extra officers on the streets while investigators have developed leads and possible suspects.

Turner said the overnight breaking-andentering spree started near downtown in the Five Points area and also included Circle Drive but four of the seven incidents were inside Parrish Hills. Two handguns were See BREAK-INS • Page 11

Central Alabama Community College students and area high school juniors spent part of the day at CACC’s annual spring fling Tuesday.

The event featured multiple activities for students such as a rock climbing wall, throwing a baseball and having the CACC baseball team check the speed, hula hooping and volleyball.

CACC administrative assistant to the dean of students Stacey Morgan said the school has held the event for six years and is a way to preview the college for juniors.

“We like to invite all the (high school) juniors in the area come on out and enjoy themselves along with all of our CACC students,” Morgan See SPRING • Page 3

Acupuncturist gets stuck with the dinner bill – twice DEAR ABBY: I am a licensed acupuncturist.

One of my patients (also male) asked me to dinner, and since he seemed like a decent guy, I decided to go. After we finished and the $60 bill arrived, he told me he had forgotten his wallet and I needed to pay, which I did. After dinner he took me back to his house to supposedly show me some recent renovations, and within 10 minutes he tried to kiss me. Fortunately for me, the date ended well enough.

He asked me out again the next week. I figured everyone deserves a second chance, so I said yes.

Well, THIS time he took me to a more expensive restaurant and -- guess what? He forgot his wallet again. This time it cost me $90. After dinner we went for a walk by the water and, when he tried to give me a hug, he knocked my only pair of glasses into the river.

I don’t know if it was pre-planned or not, but because I had driven to his

DEAR ABBY Advice house, he knew I wouldn’t be able to legally drive home without my glasses.

This forced me to spend the night at his house.

That I am able to retell this story means I survived that night, but what do you think? Does this guy sound like a loser or what? -STUCK WITH THE BILL DEAR STUCK: “This guy” strikes me as irresponsible or a manipulator.

At the very least he should reimburse you for the glasses.

I’m not sure if it’s ethical for you to be dating a client. According to the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, the provider should not engage in sexual contact with a patient if the contact commences

after the practitioner-patient relationship is established.

Because you don’t trust his motives, you should not see him again socially.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 28 years.

Over the past three years, I have survived a cancer diagnosis and a serious car accident. Earlier this year, I found out my wife has been leading a double life. The doctor says it is because she’s bipolar.

Over the past year, she has had five boyfriends, three online and two in person. None of what she posted online is repeatable as it is X-rated. It came to light after a checkup and blood tests that resulted in an STD diagnosis. Now my doctor wants to test me for HIV. HIV is permanent, no cure, but having it would destroy me.

I am still with my wife, but I have lost all respect.

All I can think of is how I was betrayed and what little time I may have left.

I don’t have the money to seek help. Can you

recommend some way to help me through this?

-- BETRAYED IN THE SOUTH DEAR BETRAYED: You have been through a lot, and I empathize with you.

Have another talk with your doctor, and when you do, please allow him to test you. There have been major changes in the treatment of HIV since the 1980s, when it was an automatic death sentence.

Many HIV-positive individuals now lead long, productive lives because they got tested and medicated, so please try to control your anxiety.

A final thought: If your wife refuses to get help for her mental illness, then you should consult a divorce lawyer.

said.

Morgan said since finals are starting soon for CACC students, the event is a way for them to relax and celebrate the end of the semester. “(Spring fling) gives (the students) a chance to show that we do appreciate them, but it also gives them a break to relax and have fun before finals,” Morgan said.

Morgan said CACC expected about 300 juniors from local high schools and about 150 CACC students usually participate.

Horseshoe Bend School student Emily Gillum said the event was like a field day for her and her classmates.

CACC student Lane Shipp said the event is important for students to intermingle and get out of their cliques.

“I think it boosts student morale a little bit and gives everybody a chance to intermingle and hang out with people they normally wouldn’t hang out with,” Shipp said.

“I think it’s important just for getting students outside their comfort zones.”

Shipp said this was his first time attending spring fling.

“For any students who are thinking about coming to CACC definitely do it because it’s got a smaller and more intimate environment and the teachers, as opposed to a bigger university, you get more one-on-one time with the professors and instructors, and I just think that leads to a better overall college experience and preparing you for bigger and better things down the road,” Shipp said.

CACC student Harrison Fant said the event gets students out and active.

“I think it’s a good event and it gets people out in the community,” Fant said.

A

rash of vehicle break-ins has plagued Alexander City the last two weeks and a lot of it probably could have been avoided.

Police chief Jay Turner said most of the 22 reported break-ins were crimes of opportunity where owners left keys in vehicles or valuables, including handguns, in plain sight.

“People leave things in their vehicles and we continue to stress if you have valuables and you want to keep them in your vehicle, lock them in the trunk,” he said. “Better yet, take them in the house. Put your car in a garage if you have one. Use motion-detector lights or leave your lights on.”

Since April 1, 20 of the 22 reported break-ins were in residential areas, Turner said. In those, about a half-dozen firearms have been stolen along with cash and credit cards.

Turner said he is going to call in off-duty officers to augment regular patrols in the affected areas and keep an eye on possible future targets because the thieves are tipping off authorities they like certain conditions.

“They’re picking neighborhoods that fit their criteria,” Turner said.

“The cars are away from the road.

You’ve got a long driveway. The cars are behind the house. There are woods. It’s late at night, no lights, little traffic. … Most of these neighborhoods are more relaxed when it comes to security and the criminals can conceal themselves in the dark. (The criminals) basically know there is a bedtime when people go to sleep.”

Turner said police have suspects and vowed, “We’ll put a stop to it.”

Police will need the help of vigilant citizens to do it. Help our officers by taking valuables out of your vehicles and report any suspicious activity.

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: Has your power bill increased since the weather has gotten warmer?

Who will take out Doug Jones next year?

I

t is a foregone conclusion in 2020 a Republican will take out Alabama’s anomaly, liberal Democratic Sen. Doug Jones. The question is which Republican will be the nominee and capture the seat?

The early favorite is U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne. There is an old adage that often holds true — the early bird gets the worm.

Byrne made the commitment to run more than a year ago and is running full speed ahead.

He is raising good money and crisscrossing the state in a very organized manner.

Byrne ran a good race for governor in 2010 so he knows what he is doing.

He has served coastal Alabama in the Alabama Senate and now six years in Congress. If he is the only major candidate from the Mobile/Baldwin area in the primary, he will get a good “friends and neighbors” vote in his First Congressional District.

Republican primaries begin and end in vote-rich Baldwin County now.

The toughest challenge Byrne could get may very well be fellow Rep. Mo Brooks from Huntsville.

Brooks is from the ultraright wing of the GOP. National conservative group like and trust Brooks, who is a true believer. These folks are not excited about Byrne, whom they perceive as a silk stocking, country club Republican. Brooks also has a more recent statewide race under his belt than Byrne. Being a congressman gives him

STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt access to Washington and national donors and Huntsville is a good place to be from in a Republican primary.

If Brooks opts not to run, the right-wing groups in Washington may pursue Birmingham Rep. Gary Palmer. Brooks and Palmer are cut from the same cloth — both are ultra conservatives. Brooks is the better candidate of the two as he is more charismatic and flamboyant.

The person to watch may be Secretary of State John Merrill. If he enters, he will be a player. He is the hardest-working person in Alabama politics. He is not only the best retail politician currently on the Alabama political stage, he may be one of the best in Alabama political history.

His organization is like something put together in a bygone era. He will outwork everybody in the GOP primary put together as well as Jones. The aforementioned probable candidates better not underestimate Merrill.

The legendary Roy Moore may make the race.

His name identification and base allows him the luxury of not having much money. He should not be underestimated or dismissed as a has been.

However, I do think his base has diminished to

about 15 percent of the primary vote, which is not enough to make the runoff unless there is a crowded field.

In fact, a large crowd of candidates could be attracted to the GOP race and may come from strange corners. Former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville has officially announced he is a candidate for the GOP nomination.

This scenario reminds me of a story the late Howell Heflin used to tell while he was our U.S. Senator for 18 years. Heflin, of Tuscumbia, was a World War II military hero and won the bronze star as a Marine officer. After law school, he went back home to Tuscumbia and became one of the most prominent lawyers in Colbert County.

At 50, he ran for and was elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.

After six years, he went to the U.S. Senate.

Heflin was the son of a Methodist minister and the Methodists moved ministers around. It just so happened at the time of Howell’s birth his father was doing a stint at a church in Georgia.

Heflin, being a true Alabamian and an Alabama political leader, was a little embarrassed about the place of his birth. He would often say, “Yeah, well, my daddy was over in Georgia doing missionary work among the heathen.”

The Outlook

In praise of a beautiful Easter and well-groomed dogs H

opefully everyone enjoyed a very happy and fulfilling Easter celebration along with a tasty meal with family. The weather cooperated being exceptionally beautiful.

We regret religious places were hit by terror attacks.

Sadly, it seems we are still haunted by bad groups thinking they are the only ones worthy enough to live.

Happy birthday to Pete Ott of Nixburg, who turned 81 on April 25. The Otts had a large gathering of family and also those from the Nixburg Baptist Church’s family for Easter dinner on Sunday at their home. I hope they used throw-away plates.

Now is the time to get that vegetable garden and the spring flowers planted.

I looked around the area

T

ROSIE MORGAN

Columnist and found the best deals for quality plants grown in Alabama are at Abernathy’s, located on the corner, close to Oak Leaf. I will be in the garden myself Ron and I were shopping at our Walmart in Alex City for Easter goods last Wednesday and the store was quite full. But only two full checkouts were open, plus self-service. If we’d have had ice cream, it would have melted. Workers were just standing around while tempers rose for those in waiting. One of the vendors

there to re-stock shelves went to the service desk to ask for help for those waiting to check out and it did not arrive.

None of us were happy with the service and we have been advised by several that by the end of the year all checkouts will be selfservice. That is when they will lose me; if I wanted to check groceries, I’d apply for that job, which is what I did at Walmart about 18 years ago. I completed the forms and they never called me. I guess I was just too overqualified.

I always give credit where it is due for good help and great customer service and by the same token feel I can share my experiences when they are not good.

Our small terrier dog Zak

and Golden Bama were both groomed last week. It was time to get that winter hair growth cut off so they can manage through the summer heat. They both looked great after the spa visit but Zak feels a little nervous, shakes at times as if he is cold and we know he is not. I bought a royal blue, hand-knitted dog sweater from a Humane Shelter shop while at home in England in October 2016 and it just did stretch around his belly. Having this coat fit tightly offers him some comfort. I’m sure he wonders what is going on as he got his teeth cleaned earlier this month. When he naps, he snuggles in with his blankie and that does the trick.

So many tracts of land are getting cleared around Coosa County, so wood must

be bringing a good price.

It’s just a shame the land is left as if a bomb exploded or a tornado came through.

Luckily it grows up quickly with sweetgum trees.

Let’s keep our Alabama beautiful and pick up some roadside trash when we can because some didn’t get the word we should respect and keep the place tidy.

It is said time heals grief and love prevents scar tissue.

We never forget those we have loved — they just live in our hearts and comfort us.

Until next week, keep smiling.

‘A Walk Down Abbey Road’ was an all-star concert

he concept of rock musicians performing as temporary all-star aggregations isn’t anything new. Ringo Starr began his family-oriented “All-Starr Band” venture 30 years ago and it’s still going strong.

Other musicians who aren’t necessarily at the forefront of contemporary musical entertainment anymore are staying active in bands that play the casino/ summer stock tours or maybe corporate events that cater to Baby Boomer nostalgia.

Some classic rock bands such as Styx sound as good as ever as they purvey their music to audiences that came of age listening to their hits decades ago.

However, some of the all-star revue groups have members who weren’t with their respective iconic bands all that long; i.e., some guy who replaced an original lead singer for an album or two before the original lead singer returned can still proclaim that he is “formerly with ______.” It’s up to music fans to determine how legitimate such a designation and performance are.

WILLIE MOSELEY Columnist That said, the only all-star concert I’ve ever attended turned out to be one of the most dynamic shows I’ve ever experienced. It was presented at the historic Saenger Theater in downtown Mobile on June 27, 2001.

A tribute to the Beatles, the “A Walk Down Abbey Road” tour was the brainchild of legendary producer/keyboard player Alan Parsons, who first came to notice as the recording engineer for Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ album for which he received his first Grammy nomination. The album was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, where Parsons worked for a number of years. His tenure also included recording projects with the Beatles.

Parsons would go on to front his own studio assemblage known as the

Alan Parsons Project. He would garner numerous hits and other Grammy nominations.

The concert tour was promoted with a citation of four iconic members of the short-term band. In addition to Parsons, John Entwistle of the Who played bass, Heart’s Ann Wilson handled vocals, and Todd Rundgren was the primary guitarist.

Other participants included Ambrosia’s David Pack on guitar as well as musicians from Entwistle’s solo band.

It’s fair to say the ad hoc assemblage was comprised of individuals who were music veterans who still had viable careers; no one was in the “formerly with”/time warp category.

The two halves of the show were appropriately divided. While the band opened with a rousing version of “Magical Mystery Tour,” the rest of the first set featured songs from the careers of the primary musicians. To their credit, the combo bounced around from artist to artist instead of doing several songs in a row by the same player onstage.

Wilson demonstrated why she was still one of the best vocalists in popular music, blasting through rockers like “Barracuda” and “Crazy On You.” However, she also handled the lush “Dog and Butterfly” in an appropriate manner, demonstrating her prowess on flute.

Entwistle’s portion of Who material included a rollicking interpretation of his wacky “My Wife.”

Rundgren reached way back to his pre-solo career band the Nazz with “Open My Eyes” and also proffered “Band on the Drum” and “Hello It’s Me,” which had been a single for the Nazz as well as Rundgren as a solo artist.

Abetted by Pack on vocals, Parsons presented “Eye in the Sky” and “Don’t Answer Me” among others. Pack also sang a couple of Ambrosia songs.

However, the second half of the show was what the audience had come to see and hear, as the entire song list consisted of Beatles songs.

Highlights included Wilson’s passionate singing

on “Hey Jude” as well as Rundgren’s blistering guitar solo on “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”

One commendable surprise saw Parsons in a solo role, fingerpicking an acoustic guitar and crooning a respectable version of “Blackbird.”

The evening concluded with several of the last songs on the second side of the “Abbey Road” album. By the time the band got to the line that stated “and in the end, the love you take …” the audience was already on its feet roaring in approval.

Entwistle died a year to the day after the Saenger concert.

It’s apparent that more and more entertainers who first garnered acclaim decades ago are now gigging in allstar revues. That said, it’s hard to imagine there’ll be a concert by veterans that was more dynamic and professional than the “A Walk Down Abbey Road” presentation.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Confusion surrounds the best-laid plans. Try to sort through who, when and where. ConĂ&#x201E;rm appointments; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel a lot better as a result. A discussion might seem futile, but it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Be more aware of your image and how people respond to you as a result.

Tonight: A force to behold.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Refuse to be politely coaxed into seeing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. Your sense of humor emerges once more. You discover the value of having a lot to do and not getting caught up in problems that stem from someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mood. Tonight: Try a movie.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You feel as though someone doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the diÉ&#x2C6;erence between you and another person.

At the moment, you do best when relating on a one-on-one level, but you could still be confused after a discussion. Tonight: Spend a special few hours with a loved one.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your emotional nature takes you down a new path. You could wonder what might be best. A partner or close friend could give you an earful. This person feels the need to communicate his or her opinions. Listen; you might gain some important insight. Tonight: Be yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be at the end of your line. No matter what you do or why, it somehow aÉ&#x2C6;ects your daily life. You want to be eÉ&#x2030;cient yet maintain the lightness thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associated with your sign. Confusion surrounds the best of intentions.

Tonight: Put your feet up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be in a situation youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer not to be in. Tap into your creativity; youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Ă&#x201E;nd the exit point.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow unnecessary stress to get in your way. Confusion will work itself through. Express your caring and concerns. Tonight: As

you like it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have the ability to make a diÉ&#x2C6;erence as you rarely have. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to settle, but you do need to commit to a certain direction. Confusion is the earmark of the day. Make sure that everyone is on the same page. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keen on letting others know what you think. However, how you state your case or express your opinions is often what deĂ&#x201E;nes success. You know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needed. As other requests come in, do only what you have to. Tonight: As you like it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Tension could build over a Ă&#x201E;nancial matter. You might not see eye to eye with someone else, but it might not be necessary. You could feel that others are refusing to be logical. Tonight: Make your own decisions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have an opportunity presented to you. Confusion and a potential misunderstanding could cause you to look at this matter diÉ&#x2C6;erently or possibly not even hear the oÉ&#x2C6;er. Stay centered; you might hear whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being discussed more clearly. Tonight: As you might like.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Absorb information with care.

Once you digest all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s said, how you feel about what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hearing could change radically.

Take your time before giving any responses or thoughts. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an unusual outlook. Tonight: A must appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Zero in on an important meeting.

Although many controversial ideas could be tossed out, some might have inlaid pearls of wisdom.

Think about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being presented. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to comment unless you really want to. Tonight: Join friends.

Oliver expects hunting over bait to become law

By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

State Rep. Ed Oliver (R-Dadeville) expects the Alabama Legislature to pass and Gov. Kay Ivey to sign a bill allowing hunting over bait.

Thursday, the Alabama House of Representatives passed the bill providing

hunters a special license from the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to hunt feral hogs and whitetail deer over bait.

“It passed committee but the Senate brought it back for superficial wording,” Oliver said. “For all practical purposes we’ll be hunting over bait. The governor will sign it.”

Many conservation managers agree the state’s feral hog population must be controlled and hunting them over bait makes them easier to kill. Others argue deer should not be included and the bill promotes legal ambushing.

State law currently allows hunters to use bait to attract deer or hogs but no hunting is

allowed within 100 yards of bait or within the line of sight of the bait. Those who buy the special license would be exempt from that regulation.

“I was against it in committee,” Oliver said. “I think it is too complex. It’s one more thing that makes it more difficult for hunters to hunt. The number of hunters is

Tiger Woods: An unprecedented comeback story

dropping steadily as it is.”

The new license will cost $14 and raise funds to research Chronic Wasting Disease, which has not been found among deer in Alabama but has afflicted deer in Mississippi and Tennessee.

“I have mixed feelings about hunting over bait,” Oliver said.

“I’m a turkey hunter.”

Submitted / The Outlook

Elmore County’s Brett Williams and Steven Caudle are set to premiere season 3 of the popular hunting show ‘DoeNation’ in August.

‘DoeNation’ served Elmore, Tallapoosa and Lee counties last year.

T

iger Woods won the Masters a couple of weeks ago achieving an incredible feat not many believed (including myself) was actually possible.

He successfully ANDY A NDY completed a long and GRAHAM arduous journey from Columnist rock bottom to the pinnacle of the golfing world, which is to be crowned “Major” champion.

It had become almost as unthinkable he would actually win in Augusta, Georgia, as it was unthinkable he would go winless in the four major tournaments for more than a decade after 2008. There were signs at the end of 2018 his health had improved and his game was rounding into shape. Even so, a win is not a win until it’s a win.

I’ve never been a huge Woods fan, but I always marveled at his incredible talent and, even more so, his uncanny ability to rise to the moment. He was always the closest thing to Michael Jordan, in that regard, I had ever seen.

I was rooting for him last Sunday. It was difficult not to get swept up in the emotion of the entire storyline.

Countless people (far more eloquent than yours truly) have commented and penned dissertations about how this is the greatest “comeback story” in sports history. It may very well be. It’s certainly unprecedented, but the reason it’s unprecedented is because we’ve never seen someone in such a position of dominance in all aspects of life fall so precipitously.

The list of athletes who have squandered millions or gotten caught up in embarrassing scandals is a long one.

However, Woods is a unique case because he was unquestionably the greatest of his generation at his particular sport. He is arguably the greatest golfer that has ever swung a club. Tiger was the face of Nike, Buick and a host of other multimillion dollar corporations.

When things started to fall apart, reports of salacious and untoward behavior began to cascade like an avalanche.

The tabloid media frenzy ate it up like chum in the water. The viral nature of the Twitterverse we live in today exacerbated the situation. Of course, Woods need not look any further than the mirror to find the mastermind of his demise.

His health was also a major issue that brought him to the brink of retirement.

There again, Tiger brought a lot of his physical deterioration on himself. A well-documented obsession with Navy Seal training caught up with him and almost ruined his body.

There were times over the last five years it was painful to watch Tiger Woods try to play golf. He even admitted he thought he was done no more than a year ago.

Overcoming multiple knee and back surgeries to win a golf tournament is impressive. Overcoming all the physical hurdles and overcoming the humiliation of having one’s entire private life become fodder for every late-night hack on television is quite another.

This country does love a good comeback story though, and America is incredibly forgiving.

Quite honestly, I don’t care if Woods breaks Jack Nicklaus’ all-time record of 18 career Majors. Tiger put his life back together after it was obliterated.

I’m sure his hundreds of millions of dollars kept him warm at night, but I still have far more respect for him than I ever did before.

‘DoeNation’ to premier season 3 in August

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

Elmore County’s Brett Williams and Steven Caudle are set to premiere season 3 of the popular hunting show “DoeNation” in August.

The hunters will appear on WBIH-TV 29 in Selma and viewers will have the opportunity to see one of the cast member’s children take up the sport and much more.

“DoeNation” is a reality hunting show featuring the two-man team that promotes bow hunting and couples it with the ministry of feeding the hungry.

“We experienced a tremendous year with the ministry as we shattered the previous year’s total,” Williams said.

“We ended this past season with 1,768 pounds of donated venison up from 1,321 pounds the previous year.”

“DoeNation” served Elmore, Tallapoosa and Lee counties last year and hopes to continue expanding.

“Our goal remains to reach a new county in Alabama each year,” Williams said.

“We are working hard to find participating processors in Montgomery and Macon counties for this new season.”

Williams said the experi-

ence has been humbling and he and Caudle are looking forward to bringing in more viewers throughout the state and beyond.

“We will be expanding the show to air in north Alabama and south Tennessee starting in August,” he said. “By adding this station our viewership range will increase to 1.8 million. We are confident this will ensure continued growth for the ministry.”

“DoeNation” has been in contact with a deer processor in north Alabama to help deliver the meat to the hungry.

“We already have one processor committed to help and working on more to support the northern market,” Williams said. “We could not do any of this without the processors and our sponsors who support us financially.”

Season 3 will include Caudle’s oldest daughter, E.C., taking her first deer on episode 3 on Aug. 20. The show will air every Tuesday starting at 8 p.m. Aug. 6.

Williams said some of the upcoming episodes will spotlight members of the younger generation and focus on the importance of continuing the sport through them.

“We had some successful

hunts with our kids this year and that is always a blessing to get kids involved with the outdoors,” Williams said.

“Hunting has continued a downward trend with interest from the younger generation falling off. Involving our kids and making it fun for them helps ensure that our hunting heritage will continue to be strong.”

During the third season, Caudle and Williams hit the road and head north to hunt.

They also plan on taking additional trips out of state during future seasons.

“We took two big out-ofstate hunts this past year,” Williams said. “One was to Kentucky where Steven harvested a nice 8-point and another to Illinois where I had a great encounter with a young buck but no shot on that trip. We also hunted in Georgia and Tennessee. This year we have trips already planned to hunt Kansas and Oklahoma as well as Georgia and Tennessee again.”

DoeNation’s participating processors from last season were A+ Deer Processing, The Skinning Shack, Bozeman’s Wild Game Processing, C&S Deer Processing and The Sportsman’s Outpost.

“They all continue to believe and support the ministry by donating their services by grinding and packaging the venison into one-pound ground meat packs,” Williams said. “We have found this is the simplest way to process and provide the meat to those individuals who are food insecure.”

The cast has delivered thousands of pounds of venison to area food pantries and also gotten to know some of the families the pantries serve.

“We dropped off 618 pounds of meat to the Elmore County Food Pantry only to have all of it given out the next day during their service time,” Williams said. “The clients refer to us as the ‘Doe Boys.’ Many times they ask the staff, ‘When will those Doe Boys be back with more deer meat?’ Many of the clients prefer the deer meat over the other available options.”

Williams said he and Caudle are grateful for what the ministry has grown into.

Caudle and Williams speak about the ministry whenever the opportunity arises but it’s best not to schedule them during hunting season.

know about it,â&#x20AC;? Rogers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that you take this around the state is wonderful.â&#x20AC;?

Tallapoosa Bicentennial Committee member Kurt Pfitzer said the committee worked every day for two or three months on the display.

Pfitzer said the committee is working with local nonprofits and schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kiosks that you see right here came in the back of an 18-wheel truck with about 15 big, old wood boxes,â&#x20AC;? Pfitzer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to break down the boxes, pull everything out, put it together and we even had several county commissioners who were here helping us work and putting these things together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a labor of love and by looking at peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expressions on their faces, this is one of the great things that has come to Alabama that I think (we should) be proud of.â&#x20AC;?

The travelling display has eight decorated panels with kiosks that go through the timeline and history of the state. There are also standing displays on Alabama figures including Rosa Parks, Caroline Lee Hentz and William Lowndes Yancey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we look at the history of Alabama, 10,000 years ago this place was occupied by Indians and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way,â&#x20AC;? Pfitzer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we think about where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been and where we are and how far weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only appropriate we make a big deal out of it.â&#x20AC;?

Below left: Rep. Mike Rogers, left, talks with Camp Hill Mayor Ezell Woodyard-Smith at the traveling exhibit.

DeKeyser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community has become so involved in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been done celebrating Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bicentennial. The history in this community, the history of the state, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all so tied together and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very glad Dadevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to help us put this together.â&#x20AC;?

The exhibit will be in Dadeville until May 2. There will be a community celebration Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. that will feature crafts, face painting, a blacksmith, soap making, pottery and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anytime I talk to groups, particularly young people, I tell them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Remember, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re from Dadeville and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a difference. Make a difference and show them how proud we are of you,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said.

The Dadeville Community Center is located at 116 Kids Court and the display is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Break-ins also stolen, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no doubt weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll catch these people,â&#x20AC;?

Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We always do. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put a stop to it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got people of interest and we feel theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re part of it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get enough to prove it. â&#x20AC;Ś I think between what happened Monday night and some of what went on in the west end of town (the previous week), I think the majority of it is being done by groups but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be associated with each other.â&#x20AC;?

Since April 1, 20 of the 22 reported breakins were in residential areas, Turner said. In those, about a halfdozen firearms have been stolen along with cash and credit cards.

Four stolen vehicles were all recovered by police, two from businesses and two from residences, and all four were easy targets for the suspects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not hotwiring the cars,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The keys were in it.â&#x20AC;?

Turner said two separate waves of breakins earlier this month concentrated on the West End neighborhood, including 7th Street West, Sleepy Hollow Drive, 6th Street West, Oak Street West, Washington Street, Lake Circle, Pinecrest Drive, Ridgeway Drive, Meadowbrook Road and Westwood Road.

This week, the criminals moved to different areas with similar conditions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re picking neighborhoods that fit their criteria,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The cars are away from the road.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a long driveway. The cars are behind the house.

There are woods. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late at night, no lights, little traffic. â&#x20AC;Ś Most of these neighborhoods are more relaxed when it comes to security and the criminals can

continued from Page 1 conceal themselves in the dark. (The criminals) basically know there is a bedtime when people go to sleep. â&#x20AC;Ś Even if officers keep an area hot, all (the suspects do) is hide behind the bushes or squat behind a car. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hard to see. â&#x20AC;Ś The majority of the time, they are in an area where they can hear you coming. They can hide.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s snatch and grab and get away.â&#x20AC;?

Turner said thieves arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as picky about what they steal as they were in the past. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be the most common thing stolen from cars were car stereos but you hardly see that anymore,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a purse or a backpack or even change in a cupholder.â&#x20AC;?

Turner said he is calling in off-duty officers to bolster the number of police patrolling the affected areas and other similar neighborhoods where the thieves are likely to strike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking and entering isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncommon,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We deal with them every day. But to have a particular area with so many at one time, someone is targeting that area.â&#x20AC;?

Turner said he is concerned the suspects

are stealing firearms, which makes it more dangerous for residents and police if any of them are confronted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have caught people in the act before,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With these handguns being stolen, chances are an officer is going to be dealing with somebody who is armed. People should secure their firearms because now you have a criminal in possession of a handgun.â&#x20AC;?

Turner said the most recent break-ins involved more forced entry, a circumstance that helps investigators. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems a little different with this go-round of breaking and entering in that we have seen windows broken out when the car was secured,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But by the numbers itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (mostly) vehicles left unsecured. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve broken windows out,

weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recovered forensic evidence. And that does pay off. We just made an arrest Friday night from an October incident of breaking and entering a vehicle and we had recovered DNA evidence at the scene.

We were able to make an arrest based on that evidence.â&#x20AC;?

Pawning guns and video surveillance of homes can also lead police to suspects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they pawn the guns we can trace the serial numbers,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People need to record the serial numbers.â&#x20AC;?

Turner said citizens can make it more difficult for thieves by using common sense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are still mainly crimes of opportunity,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People leave things in their vehicles and we continue to stress if you have valuables and you want to keep them in

your vehicle, lock them in the trunk. Better yet, take them in the house.

Put your car in a garage if you have one. Use motion-detector lights or leave your lights on.â&#x20AC;?

Turner said the cooperation of Alexander City residents +

helps and motivates his officers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most big cities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t investigate breaking and entering anymore but we do,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People in this city will give us information that will point us in the right direction.â&#x20AC;?

in Tallapoosa County. Court records state those convictions are seconddegree assault, possession of a controlled substance and three counts of distribution of a controlled substance.

Martin’s other option in sentencing Russell was life in prison without parole.

Russell, 34, of Alexander City was arrested in March 2018 on 20 counts of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance, trafficking hydrocodone, three counts of possession of a controlled substance, first-degree possession of marijuana, certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The conviction and sentence only disposes of the trafficking charge. The State of Alabama could still prosecute Russell on the remaining charges plus Russell has pending criminal charges in Coosa County for speeding,

possession of a controlled substance and a felon in possession of a gun.

The Fifth Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s office had offered Russell a plea deal to serve 15 years for all the charges but Russell said he wanted a trial. Russell’s attorney Mitch Gavin said in the plea hearings his client countered the state’s offer with a seven-year split sentence with Russell serving two years in prison.

The trafficking charge came about when law enforcement served warrants on the other charges. Officers found Russell at his girlfriend’s home holding jeans containing 19 pills determined to be hydrocodone.

It took a jury less than 40 minutes to return a guilty verdict earlier this month.

Martin’s sentencing order also requires Russell to pay the cost of the court proceedings, pay a fine of $50,000 and pay $50 to the Victims Compensation Fund Award.

Burkhalter bond hearing before Randolph County District Court Judge Amy Newsome with testimony coming from Wedowee police investigator Kevin Walker.

Walker read portions of a forensic interview with the student in which she said she and Burkhalter came to know each other at school and it led to sexual intercourse in Burkhalter’s car on dirt roads near her Randolph County home on two different occasions.

“It was a new school year for me and him,” the alleged victim told the forensic interviewer.

“He sent me a Facebook request in September.”

Walker said the interviewer’s report stated the student and Burkhalter were also quickly acquainted with each other via text, calls and Snapchat. Burkhalter began working at Randolph County High School at the start of the school year as a math teacher and basketball coach.

“We stayed in contact 24/7,” the student told the forensic interviewer.

“We started to talk more at school. I left my lunch and gym bag in his classroom. He would walk me to the end of the hall.”

The student told the forensic interviewer rumors were going around school about the pair and they stopped seeing each other at school but stayed in contact via phone and social media until three or four days into Christmas break when Burkhalter scheduled a meeting her. She said they drove around dirt roads and nothing happened. School started back in January and the alleged victim said things started to get physical when Burkhalter took her to the Motel 6 near Walmart in Oxford where they kissed for the first time, leading to sexual activity.

Oxford is in Calhoun County and the charges from that alleged encounter are in circuit

continued from Page 1 Clay counties related to the alleged relationship.

All but the enticing charge are Class B felonies, which carry a two- to 10-year prison sentence; the enticing charge is a Class C felony, which carries a one- to 10-year prison sentence.

Newsome listened to an argument presented

by Burkhalter’s attorney Sherri Mazur to lower his bond Tuesday.

“At $1.5 million, there might as well be no bond,” Mazur said. “He was the sole provider for his family. He would not be teaching and will not go near schools or churches.”

Parker argued Burkhalter is a flight risk.

“Agent Walker previously testified to all the searches (Burkhalter) did about working out of country and flights to Mexico,” Parker said.

Mazur said her client isn’t a flight risk coming from a family with many ties to the area and noted Burkhalter turned himself in.

Newsome granted the bond reduction to $100,000 for each of the class B felonies and $50,000 for the enticing a child class C felony Burkhalter is facing for a total of $750,000 that can be posted through property or a bondsman.

He was being held in the Randolph County Jail on a $1.5 million cash bond, meaning the total amount would have to be posted in cash for Burkhalter to be free until trial.

Newsome also set other conditions for Burkhalter’s bond. He cannot have contact with the alleged victim, must wear an ankle monitor, cannot leave the state, cannot be in possession of a firearm, cannot go near a school or daycare and have no contact with children other than his biological children.

Burkhalter is a former emcee and TV and radio co-host in Alexander City.

No further court dates have been announced in the case.

court there.

The student told the forsenic interviewer she and Burkhalter had oral sex and sexual intercourse in his car on two different occassions on dirt roads in Randolph County, once after Burkhalter picked her up following a Saturday basketball game. The alleged victim said meetings were also scheduled around Burkhalter’s National Guard drill exercises.

Walker said an investigation into the alleged sexual relationship started when a student at the school reported it to the principal who reported to the school resource officer who then informed Walker.

Assistant district attorney Anna Parker said other evidence includes the student identifying tattoos Burkhalter has and the fact both the alleged victim and Burkhalter are being treated for chlamydia.

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) said chlamydia is spread through vaginal, anal or oral sex with someone who has chlamydia. The CDC also says there are strains and variations of chlamydia and most can be determined when examined.

While law enforcement said it collected data from three phones possessed by the student and Burkhlater, texts revealed a lot of communication but nothing explicit.

Subpoenas to Snapchat have not yet provided communications between the two.

Newsome said there is probable cause for the two counts of seconddegree rape, one count of sodomy, two counts of electronic solicitation of a child, two counts of violation of the school employee sex act with a student less than 19 years of age and one count of enticing a child in Randolph County to be presented to a grand jury.

Burkhalter also faces charges in Calhoun and
