Parade set for Sunday

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Dadeville Chamber of Commerce is gearing up to hold its fifth annual Christmas parade Sunday, with a number of activities scheduled to begin at noon before the parade starts at 3 p.m.

“We will have vendors selling items around the courthouse square,” Dadeville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Linda Andrews said. “Santa will be on the courthouse lawn. There will be food vendors, along with inflatables and train rides for the kids.”

Andrews estimated approximately 30 vendors will set up around the courthouse square Sunday afternoon, while around 50 floats and antique cars will be involved in the parade.

The parade will begin on East LaFayette Street at the same location where See PARADE • Page A3

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The Alexander City Police Department said Tuesday night it arrested a suspect in a fatal hit-and-run accident that killed a woman on the River Bridge Nov. 29.

Robert Lancaster, 34, of Jacksons Gap was arrested and charged with manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident that results in serious injury or death.

Police chief Jay Turner was not hopeful authorities would make an arrest so quickly.

Lancaster “They pulled off the nearly impossible,” Turner said. “I didn’t think they would get this close this soon.”

ACPD Lt. Chris Spivey and investigator Drew Machen were handed the case last Thursday morning after a witness drove up to find Tina Doranne Guerrero, 50, of Alexander City in the roadway. Guerrero’s See ARREST • Page A3

This time of the year, people are feeling more generous than usual, but how giving are the people of Alabama?

According to a study conducted by the online group Digital Third Coast, Alabama falls near the bottom of the country in terms of giving. The group’s survey ranked Alabama 44th, ahead of only Nevada, Arkansas, Montana, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana.

The study looked at how many times, per capita, residents of each state Googled one of four key terms — “best charities to donate to,” “places to donate near me,” “volunteer opportunities near me” and “what percentage of income should be donated to charity” to determine how giving each state is.

New Site council approves town hall hours change

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

New Site Town Hall will extend its hours starting in January after the town council took action on the matter during Monday night’s council meeting.

Mayor Phil Blasingame said he and councilmember Michael East recently met with town clerk Shelia Fuller to allow Fuller to voice some of her concerns about expanding town hall hours. After hearing a report on the meeting, the council voted to approve opening town hall from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays, with no closure for lunch, beginning Jan. 7.

Instead of a dedicated hour for Fuller and assistant town clerk Brittany Brown to take lunch, they will stagger their lunch times so town hall will be staffed throughout the day. However, Fuller and Brown can close town hall in case of emergencies.

“If something should come up, it will be noon to 1 p.m. when we close town hall since people are used to that,”

Fuller said.

East added, “We will need to change this on the town policy.”

Blasingame said Alabama Power contacted him about a mistake the utility made with regards to upgrading streetlights throughout town. He said the lights will still be changed out, but it will cost the town $741.83 per month to operate.

“It’s not much more to do that,” councilmember Billy Daniel said.

The council passed a motion to upgrade the lights, changing them to the Cobra Head 250-watt HPS series.

Following the approval to upgrade the lights at the new price Alabama Power quoted, the council passed a motion to amend the budget to account for the change.

The New Site Town Council also handled the following items: • Blasingame said he recently met with a representative from Sentell Engineering to look over the walking track behind town hall to begin preparing information for the grant

writers to have the track repaved.

• The council approved moving the Jan. 21 meeting to Jan. 22 and the Feb. 18 meeting to Feb. 19, while also approving closing town hall on Dec. 24 and 25 for Christmas and Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 for the New Year holiday.

• East said he is continuing to work on insurance for town employees.

• Blasingame said the audit for fiscal year 2018 has been received, and a representative from the auditing firm will be at the next council meeting to review the report.

• Police chief Philip Weddle said he has received several complaints from residents in town about individuals going door-to-door soliciting funds.

Weddle said an ordinance passed in 1991 declared such actions unlawful.

Some residents have also mentioned Jehovah’s Witnesses going around town; however, the ordinance does not cover religious groups.

• Blasingame said he has received compliments from a number of citizens commending the police department for

patrolling the streets of town, especially after dark.

• The council approved moving $115,000 in a Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative (TREC) account the town has into a money market account earning 1.75 percent at River Bank & Trust. Blasingame abstained from the vote.

• During the upcoming monthly luncheon at the New Site Senior Activity Center, a public hearing will be held on the grant the town is seeking for work on the center.

• Blasingame said he has signed the final few documents pertaining to the work on upgrading the town’s water system, with a public hearing scheduled for Jan. 7 at 5 p.m. on the application for a supplemental loan to complete the project. He also said the new electronic meters have arrived and are awaiting installation.

The next meeting of the New Site Town Council will be 5 p.m. Monday, Dec. 17 in the meeting room of town hall.

Parade

continued from page A1

the Dadeville High School homecoming parade begins, according to Andrews. It will head up East LaFayette Street until it reaches downtown, where it will turn left onto Broadnax Street. At the intersection of Broadnax and Columbus streets, the parade will turn right onto Columbus before turning right again onto Tallassee Street and go behind the courthouse.

In addition to celebrating

the Christmas season, Andrews said the event is also a fundraiser for the local schools. Money raised through vendor fees and parade entry fees will be donated to Dadeville Elementary and Dadeville High schools for whatever the schools need.

“We’re very excited for this,” Andrews said.

“Everyone in town is excited for the parade too. They’re all looking forward to it.”

The Dadeville Chamber of Commerce is gearing up to hold its fifth annual Christmas parade Sunday, with a number of activities scheduled to begin at noon before the parade starts at 3 p.m.

“In a lot of cities, people may go up to their officials and ask, ‘What are you going to do about this or that?’” Smith said. “However, we don’t really hear that here. I have people coming up to me and telling me, ‘I have this idea I want to try. What do you think of it?’”

Smith said he is always supportive of Dadeville residents proposing ideas to make the city a nicer place to live.

This includes the local art guild, Everything’s Art, asking him earlier this year about wanting to bring back the treelighting ceremony on the courthouse lawn and decorating storefronts throughout downtown.

“I want to brag on our churches for the trunkor-treat events they had this Halloween,” Smith said. “Our Christmas parade, it’s going to be bigger and better than last year’s.”

Along with singing the praises of local individuals and groups taking the initiative and working on projects throughout town, Smith talked about many of the things leading to continued progress in Dadeville. This included talking with Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance Executive Director Don McClellan on economic development and Rep. Ed Oliver on healthcare and education, meeting students from Dadeville High School during a recent career day and

how city hall has been refurbished.

“The new LED lighting we’re getting in our streetlights, it’s cheaper and brighter,” Smith said. “Family Dollar is coming back to town, and Walgreens is considering a new building. We are working on a new building for the fire department on Highway 280. The new DHR building, we love it.”

While the Kiwanians and Key Clubbers were interested in what Smith had to say, several in attendance had questions for him. In response to questions about the proposed hotel on Highway 280 and the former Piggly Wiggly building, Smith said work is ongoing with the hotel, while the Piggly Wiggly site is going to be a tough place to do much with. Members of

the Key Club asked if there is a way they could help out in the upcoming Christmas parade. Smith told them to have the Key Club sponsor to get in touch with the Chamber of Commerce, as he is certain there is something the high schoolers can do.

Smith believes the city is moving in the right direction, with everyone in Dadeville filling an important role in making progress happen.

“We want to grow, but we want to grow at a good, steady rate,” Smith said.

Christmas is not about material things; Give gifts from the heart

S

hopping centers are full of customers this time of year, with people rushing out to make sure they find the perfect gift for that special someone on their Christmas gift list. Stores are watching as sale after sale is made, items are flying off the shelves and checkout lines are filling up as fast as a bucket under Niagara Falls.

There is nothing inherently wrong with giving and getting presents for those who are special to us. However, do not get crazy buying presents this year.

There is no need to go into debt purchasing the latest smartphone, tablet or must-have children’s toys. Christmas is a time for family to come together and enjoy the season, not burn through hundreds of dollars making those around us happy with material items.

This season, take the time to donate money to a charity helping those in need and make memories with your family members. The Salvation Army is in the middle of its Red Kettle campaign, while the United Way is still pushing hard to reach its $535,000 fundraising campaign goal.

Communities large and small are hosting Christmas parades, while groups such as the Alexander City Parks and Recreation Department are putting on events including Saturday’s Christmas in the Park.

Events like these cost little, if anything, to attend and can help create lifelong memories everyone can share.

Reminding the public why Christmas is such an important holiday, local churches are holding Christmas pageants.

These live performances depicting the birth of Jesus 2,000 years ago are one more way for us to remember what this holiday is all about, something far simpler than rushing out to stores and filling our carts up with merchandise.

So, while you check to make sure everyone on your list is taken care of, remember there is much more to the Christmas season than what you find under the tree.

Google CEO grilled by Congress W e don’t have royal weddings in America; our spectacle is Congress grilling business executives.

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg appeared earlier in the year and Google CEO Sundar Pichai is scheduled for this week.

When the tiny Zuckerberg sat on a cushion to testify on privacy before the Senate, his condescension was palpable. First, the 75-yearold senators had no idea how to even access their iTunes password and should not have been the ones questioning him. Second, by day two, Zuckerberg was so confident he was not going to be punished he intimidated some senators by mentioning their favorite pets, mothers’ maiden names and where they met their spouses.

I am a free-market libertarian and I never advocate for more regulation, mainly because it doesn’t work — especially when it is done by government (which I trust only one-tenth as much as I trust business).

If you study history, you find that our nation’s biggest financial problems stemmed from highly regulated areas: the mortgage crisis, bank bailouts, federal deficits, the Great Depression, Smoot-Hawley/tariffs, wars of choice, Dodd-Frank, Obamacare, etc. And, soon, student loans.

Letters to the Editor

Preventive care is like flu shot: It makes sense

Dear Editor, Preventing illness is always better than trying to cure it and the flu is no exception.

For most Alabamians, a quick trip to the local pharmacy or a doctor and a small copayment are all that are needed to prevent the flu. But have you ever thought about how people without health insurance prevent such illnesses?

The cost of that vaccination can be prohibitive, especially when you are living on a limited income.

Alabama has thousands of uninsured adults who often must make the hard choice between caring for their family and getting preventative care, such as the flu vaccine. Many of these individuals will not get a flu shot this year, potentially resulting in hospitalizations that could have been avoided. Alabama has an opportunity to solve this problem by increasing access to preventative care by expanding Medicaid.

Having a primary doctor not only saves lives, it saves thousands of dollars in avoiding expensive emergency room visits and hospital admissions.

People with health insurance are able to receive muchneeded screenings and vaccinations and to have a place to go when they get sick.

How does getting a flu shot make that much of a difference? If an individual doesn’t get vaccinated and catches the flu, he may need medication to help reduce the symptoms (the most common prescription costs around $100). He would have to pay for a doctor visit to have the medicine prescribed, and the doctor might recommend additional doses for his family. But how many individuals living below the poverty level can afford several hundred dollars in prescriptions?

If he is unable to buy the medicine and his infection worsens, he is likely to spread it to others and he may need hospitalization. The CDC

reported 710,000 hospitalizations from the flu during last year’s flu season. In Alabama, health officials estimated about 100 deaths due to flu. Just this year, there was a story about a second-grade teacher in Texas who decided not to fill her prescription for Tamiflu when she saw it would be $116. She refused to pay and died three days later from flu-related complications.

Many uninsured also have chronic diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes and, without health insurance, these conditions only get worse.

Providing preventive care through Medicaid expansion ensures healthy families, a healthy workforce and a stable healthcare delivery system. It’s time to invest in a healthy Alabama. Like getting a flu shot, it just makes sense.

East, Oliver take oaths of office

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Talmadge “Tal” East took the oath of office to serve as probate judge of Tallapoosa County Monday afternoon in Dadeville.

East placed his hand on his father’s Bible, held by his mother, Ginger East, and took the oath from Judge Ray Martin. East said he was proud to see many family and friends in the audience of the courtroom.

“I see a lot of people who put a lot of faith and trust in me out there,” East said after taking the oath. “I assure I don’t take it lightly. I appreciate it.”

East takes over from special probate judge Bonita Caldwell, who was appointed by the governor to serve out the medical retirement of Leon Archer.

Martin took a moment to make sure East’s supporters knew how big the job of probate judge is.

“This is a great day,” Martin said. “We are starting with a great man who is going to be a great judge. This is an important position; it is a position of great authority, of great responsibility.”

East asked the crowd for its continued support in the six years of the position.

“I would appreciate your prayers and support in the coming years,” East said.

East went right to work, giving county employees information for employment and learning of a scheduled hearing Tuesday in the probate office.

East was not the only one taking an oath of office Monday. Ed Oliver, newly elected to the Alabama House of Representatives from District 81, was sworn in with his children holding a family Bible.

Martin recalled a day nearly 30 years ago when Oliver’s family helped him become district judge.

Oliver said he is already serving as a representative, which happened after the election last month. He has already been part of electing leadership in the Alabama House.

For those in abusive situations and relationships, there are times when it feels like there is no escape.

However, there are places offering a safe haven for the abused, including the Domestic Violence Intervention Center.

“A survivor called our

crisis line after escaping from a beating in front of her two very young children,” Domestic Violence Intervention Center Executive Director Tina Evans said. “She told us a bystander gave her the phone and a phone number to call our agency. Upon arriving to the shelter, we observed the two small, frightened children clinging to their mother, who was eight and a half months pregnant. We immediately took her to the hospital to be evaluated. Initially, the hospital could not find a heartbeat, which was scary. Then they heard something faint. The baby was OK.” Incorporated in 1980 and headquartered in Opelika, the Domestic Violence Intervention Center provides residents

HPV VACCINE FACTS:

of Tallapoosa County a place to escape from an abusive situation and work to regain a more typical life. Since opening its doors, the center has offered emergency shelter to 4,690 women and children in the four counties it serves through the Safehouse program.

In addition to serving as an emergency shelter, the center offers other valuable services to its clients. This includes a 24-hour hotline, referral counseling, outof-shelter counseling, court advocacy, case management and community education.

Staff members and volunteers with the center have responded to more than 13,500 callers since the hotline was introduced, while another 1,500 have received

counseling on an out-ofshelter basis. The center also offers a support group that meets twice a month and helps meet the needs of clients and those in the community.

No matter which resource clients use, everything the center offers revolves around giving empathy and hope to those seeking assistance, such as the young woman whose story Evans shared.

“The survivor had nothing for her children or the expected baby,” Evans said. “Our agency rallied around her, providing emergency shelter and clothing and numerous new baby items from our clothing closet.

This survivor received case management, legal advocacy, counseling, parenting classes, transportation to all

She delivered a very healthy baby, who had a safe place to come to after being born.

“The survivor said she was so scared and had nowhere to go with no support systems, two children and a baby due any day. She had no idea there were services out there that would help her and her children start a new life together.”

HOW TO HELP: In addition to helping the Domestic Violence Intervention Center by contributing to the United Way fundraising campaign, there are a multitude of items Evans said the agency can use. The center is in need of scrubs, diapers, pillows, cooking oils, car seats and personal care products. The group can also use winter clothing, household supplies, linens and a range of paper products, among many other items.

the residents of Alexander City and the Lake Martin area are a giving group of people.

Sharon Fuller with the Lake Martin Area United Way said 90 percent of the businesses and people she approaches during the United Way’s annual fundraiser campaign will give when asked, while the organization has hundreds of volunteers who chip in and donate their time to help.

“Last year, we had 756 volunteers helping us out,” Fuller said. “That’s not counting the volunteers who helped each of the agencies we work with.”

One event the United Way holds every year, the Day of Action, saw nearly 200 volunteers contributing in 2017 by doing some landscaping at Alexander City Middle School and painting classrooms at Stephens Elementary, among many other projects. For the 2018 Day of Action, approximately 120 volunteers were part of the efforts cleaning up local schools and the Main Street area.

Additional efforts have come from others in the community. More than

Despite a recent study showing Alabama is one of the least charitable states in the United States, local charity leaders believe the Lake Martin area to be a giving one.

100 items donated by local businesses and individuals

were available during the silent auction at the

group’s 2017 fashion show. Witherington has taken StillWaters golf pro Gabby it upon himself to go on a 100-hole marathon the past several years to raise money for the United Way, with donors sponsoring him a certain amount for each hole.

Tabatha Glassburn with the Salvation Army said, while people are busier now than ever before, the organization has people who are always willing to help out, including ringing a bell during the Red Kettle campaign in the weeks before Christmas.

“Those who do it once are more likely to keep doing it,” Glassburn said.

“It’s sometimes harder to get new people in, but

once they do it, many of them do it again.”

With the number of people who take the time to stand outside local stores and ring the bell, Glassburn said the agency continues as one of the few Salvation Army groups that operates a campaign entirely staffed by volunteers. She also said the local Salvation Army regularly sees a good response from residents donating money to the Red Kettle campaign.

“We are always looking for more volunteers to work with us,” Glassburn said. “However, I believe we are indeed a giving community.”

Dear DOG BREEDERS, This Christmas I wish for you to go spend one day in a high kill shelter. I wish that you love on all the dogs who do not have homes this Christmas. I wish that you watch as they walk us back to the back room that we will never come out of. I wish that you look into our eyes and tell us that you think our death is worth the profit you make from selling us. But what I wish for most of all is for you to STOP breeding.

Please consider adoption when looking for a pet.

Alabama, Georgia put on a show

Y

ou know... Maybe Alabama and Georgia ought to play more often. Outside of a thorough 2015 thrashing in Athens, these two teams have played arguably the best three games Atlanta has seen in any sport since 2012.

The SEC Championship Game was simply dazzling. Current NFL stars like Amari Cooper and Todd Gurley lit the Georgia Dome up like your overzealous neighbor’s Christmas front yard.

Then the national championship last year had more drama than TNT could squeeze into a full week’s worth of programming. A novice Hawaiian-born backup takes over for the former SEC Player of the Year and leads Alabama to the title?

There are more believable stories in Aesop’s Fables.

But little did we know the coupde-grace was yet to come. Last Saturday’s conference championship See ROBINSON • Page B4

MAKING STRIDES

Despite loss, Dadeville sees improvement on the mat

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

With the vast majority of Dadeville’s wrestling roster made up of underclassmen, the Tigers knew they were in for some growing pains this season.

And although they suffered a 48-24 loss at the hands of Beulah on Wednesday afternoon, they started to see some strides.

“Our young kids are beating a lot of other young kids, and when you measure it like that, that means we’re doing something right and they’re progressing,” Dadeville coach Fred Ford said. “For the ones that are struggling, they’re not getting enough work in at practice so it tells when they actually get on the mat. But for the ones that are getting there every day and work, going through all the drills and doing all the training, you can tell they’re getting better and better as the season goes on.”

Dadeville started Wednesday’s match well enough

with a pair of back-to-back pins to begin. RJ Ford flattened Beulah’s Josh Jarrell in just 1:18 at 138 pounds to start the match after a double forfeit.

Dadeville’s Grayson Knox then

added a first-period pin at 145 by defeating the Bobcats’ Grady Flournoy in a mere 56 seconds.

From there though, the Tigers started to struggle, giving up four pins and two forfeits over

the next six bouts, allowing Beulah to take a stranglehold on the score.

SWEPT AWAY IN SEASON OPENER Generals run away with win after close first half

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Leading by just five points heading into the second half, Horseshoe Bend’s inside game caught fire in the third quarter.

Caly Carlisle scored 10 points in the paint, and Ivy Vickers added six more, as the Generals pulled away for a 49-40 win over Reeltown on Monday in girls basketball action.

“We were just putting a little more pressure on the ball,” Horseshoe Bend coach Erica Meigs said.

“The press helped some and just watching their main guards was big.”

Not only was the defensive pressure helpful in allowing the Generals to pull away, but they also did a much better job on the boards. Reeltown was out-rebounding HBS, 15-2, midway through the first quarter. Although the Rebels still managed a 46-40 edge on the boards, the Generals (4-2) made it that much closer.

Reeltown, which was playing in its season opener, also struggled with turnovers late, coughing up the ball 15 times in the final two quarters combined.

“I think it was more of what we didn’t do well,” Rebel coach Will Solomon said. “They were basically in the same press that they were in the first half, and we made some poor passes and got ourselves into bad situations and they turned into points.”

Despite the loss, it could’ve been a lot worse for the Rebels. Horseshoe Bend held them to just one field goal through the first seven minutes of the third quarter and led by as many as 19 points before the Rebels started to claw back in it. Reeltown scored seven points in the final 1:13 of the third and a Mikiya Jones 3-pointer midway through the fourth finally cut its deficit to single digits.

“We’ve just got to learn to play smart,” Meigs said.

“We can’t make those silly little fouls when we’re ahead and let them score

with the clock stopped.”

Solomon said: “When Taniya got that first steal, that made everybody else play a little bit harder and with a little bit more intensity. That’s the kind of leader Taniya can be.

With her playing like that, she can really make a difference with the other girls.”

Once again, though, Horseshoe Bend responded with a run of its own, capped by a 3-point play from Nadia Freeman, who scored 14 points on the night. That gave the Generals a double-digit lead before the Rebels chipped away at it again.

Jones got hot for the Rebels in the final quarter, scoring three 3-pointers in the last eight minutes, to finish with a game-high 18 points.

“I’m extremely pleased with the way we battled back — our effort and our intensity,” Solomon said. “We jumped into a couple things that we hadn’t had time to practice,

The defense was on fire for Horeseshoe Bend’s boys basketball team. Not only did the Generals hold Reeltown to fewer than 30 points, they also forced their rivals into 19 turnovers, and it resulted in a 40-28 victory for HBS on Monday night.

“It’s one of those things that whenever you can beat Reeltown, you want to beat Reeltown,” Horseshoe Bend coach Chad Kison said. “When the blue comes up here, it’s always a tough game; they’re well-coached. It’s just very nice to beat them. I’m excited.”

It didn’t look like it was going to be an easy ride for Horseshoe Bend, as the Rebels reeled off six straight points to start their season-opener.

Keke Hughley, who did not play last year due to an injury, looked back in fine form, scoring the game’s first three points. But from there, things got harder and harder for Reeltown, as it scored only 22 points in the final 44 minutes.

Horseshoe Bend took a big advantage by holding the Rebels to just one point in the second quarter to take a 24-13 edge into the locker room.

“I think we moved well in the zone and we actually boxed out pretty good,” Kison said. “I think we had a lot of tipped balls in there, but we got a lot of hands on balls. I think we put our hands up and didn’t give them easy shots. We stopped them from driving as much as we could, and I think we limited their second-chance shots, especially in the first half.”

Reeltown had its chances to keep the score much closer though. It went 2 of 7 from the freethrow line in the first half and just 9-for-20 on the night.

See REBELS • Page B4

and I thought we did a really good job with that.

That kind of helped. I hate losing; my girls hate losing, but I think we gave a really good effort and we ran the floor tonight.”

The Generals have now reeled off four straight victories after starting the season with a pair of losses, and Meigs thinks

her team is on the right track but still has room for improvement.

“We’re getting to where we need to be,” she said.

“There’s still a few mental things here and there and putting more pressure on the ball. We’ve gotta move to passes and be able to read the defense and offense a little bit more.”

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties The Dadeville Record

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might have been thinking about a plan and Änally have come to a conclusion. Once more, you become Mr. or Ms. Friendly.

Others will rejoice at seeing the happier you return. Still, someone could become somewhat difÄcult.

Tonight: Weigh the pros and cons of taking a trip.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You will be distancing yourself until it becomes obvious that you need to deal with a situation that could implode. Expressing your caring is important, especially when dealing with an older relative. A call to someone at a distance will mean a lot.

Tonight: Till the wee hours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A partner seems to have assumed control of a key matter. This change of responsibilities could be all right with you; however, you might want to discuss the long-term implications of the situation. A conversation like this is important. Tonight: Choose to do something new.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You’ll be taken aback by a personal matter. The other party could be overly assertive, which might cause you to feel cornered. Initiate an important one-on-one discussion; in fact, insist on it. The balance of power will level off as a result. Tonight: Be with a favorite person.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your mood quickly changes midday.

You are best when networking and socializing. Now is the time to kick back and be spontaneous. You might hear someone express his or her frustration; behind those feelings is an important message. Tonight: Listen to a suggestion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be quite creative in the morning when faced with a difÄcult situation. Lighten up and have an important discussion once others seem more relaxed. The tone of those around you will be more signiÄcant than you might realize. Tonight: Make it early.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You have been tenacious and diligent about getting a project done. You also feel empowered by its completion and by the comments you get.

Later today, brainstorm with others to create and Ärm up a fun idea.

Not everything has to be business.

Tonight: All smiles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You won’t hesitate to express your opinions, but you could come off a lot sterner than you realize. The key to success will be following through on a particular situation and maintaining a lighter attitude. Others will open up more easily as a result.

Tonight: Get a lot done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Check out the cost of proceeding as you have been. Someone might be more than ready to chip in and help.

Know that all the responsibility does not have to land on your shoulders.

Make a point to accept someone’s gesture as it was meant. Tonight: Make weekend plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on what you want. You’ll have many supporters at the present moment, which increases your chances of achieving what you desire. You come off as far more sensitive than you think. You can’t always hide your feelings. Tonight: Whatever puts a smile on your face.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be slow to start, but once you get going, you are a formidable force to stop. You know what you want, and have no intention of settling. Someone at a distance could play a signiÄcant role. Tonight: If you can dream it, you are likely to be able to conjure it up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have a matter that you would prefer to keep under wraps.

Someone might try to coax it out of you, but you will resist. Be careful if you don’t want to spill the beans.

A partner or associate will make an effort to discuss an issue that you both are well aware of. Tonight: Do for you.

The Dadeville Record

was one for the ages. A game so tense, so fun, so full of held breaths and deep exhalations the actual College Football Playoff games now seem a little … meh.

For about 20 game minutes, the University of Georgia terrorized Nick Saban’s squad like no team I have ever seen. There was red and black lightning coupled with thunderous “sic ’ems” and a piercing display of confidence not seen from Bulldog teams of the past. UGA’s bite was finally much more furious than its bark and Alabama was an unwitting mailman.

For a while, it appeared 2018 would be the Year of the ’Dawg.

Then something unbelievable happened. A legend was reborn from the proverbial ashes.

Jalen Hurts, the best quarterback no one would actually call a quarterback, stepped onto the field to relieve the quarterback no one has ever doubted. The very quarterback who, in practically the same scenario in the same location, usurped Hurts less than a year ago.

Without reliving what many of you have re-watched multiple times since Saturday night, Hurts confidently and courageously led the Tide to an SEC Championship.

Indeed, Hurts’ name is now writ in Crimson Flame.

It was one of the more surreal moments I have ever seen — a second chance unfolding in essentially the same manner as the first, a “Devine Do-Over” if there ever was one.

Hurts became the poster child for perseverance, the picture of persistence, the epitome of pride.

In a time when it is so easy to transfer and begin anew, Hurts just added a new chapter to his already best-selling ’Bama book. Alabama has had, does have and will continue to have better players than Jalen Hurts, but the program will never have a better example of character.

Back to Georgia, its efforts were extraordinary. Unless you are predisposed to dislike UGA based on rivalry alone, you couldn’t help but feel sympathetic for a program who, once again, came oh-so-close.

Here’s hoping the next few seasons give us more ’Bama v. Georgia tilts.

Then again, how many Southern-fried arteries could take the angst that trio of contests produced?

continued from page B1

he picked up the fastest pin of the day for either team. At 106, Pratt quickly defeated Braden Chambers in just 20 seconds.

“That’s just his personality,” coach Ford said. “He’s like a little sparkplug.

He gets after it and he understands. You can call something out to Brandon and he will actually execute it. He’s figuring things out and watching a lot of stuff on his own, so it’s paying off.”

The best match of the day came at 170 where Dadeville freshman Spencer Meadors took on Beaulah’s Sherman Smith. Although Smith eventually grabbed the pin in 3:47, Meadors hung with him for quite a while. Meadors snuck in a pair of first-period reversals and avoided a pin at the very end of the opening frame to push the bout to the only second period of the day.

“He actually had an opportunity to finish the match, but that’s just not having the experience,” Ford said. “I thought he did really, really well. If he had the experience to go with it, you would’ve seen a different outcome.

“When he got to that point where the

experience would have came in, you could tell that he was lacking in mat time just a little bit. But as far as the effort and all that goes, it’s there. We just have to clean up his technique and know what to

Rebels

continued from page B4

“We’re not going to be a high-scoring team,” Rebel coach Jonathan Gardner said.

“But when we get close to the basket, we need to be making those shots. And we have to make our free throws.”

Horseshoe Bend kept its lead right around 10 points for the entire second half, as Reeltown did not get closer than eight points after a bucket from Hughley pulled the score to 32-24 at the end of the third.

Chandler Lewis was the defensive standout for the Generals. In addition to having eight points, Lewis also grabbed five steals and seemed to be all over the court.

“That’s why I kind of just left him in there,” Kison said.

“I thought he was feeling it. He was handling it well, no turnovers really. He was stealing the ball, so I just kinda let him go and he played very

well. I’m proud of him.”

Reeltown made only eight field goals and was led by Trey O’Neal, who had a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds. Hughley added nine points.

“We just weren’t capitalizing at the goal and making the easy shots,” Gardner said. “We were forcing things, and we beat ourselves up. It was the first game for us, so we have to

Four players had at least eight points. Colby Cheaney led the way with 10, Nywanski Russell scored nine and Lewis and Kam Evers split 16 evenly.
