Dadeville Beautification Board at work

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The Dadeville Beautification Board explained some of the work it is doing to the Dadeville City Council Tuesday night.

“We have declared war on litter,� beautification board member Mickey Forbus said. “We have been picking up trash already. Just the other day we picked up 25 industrial-sized trash bags along West Lafayette Street.�

Litter is not the only thing the

beautification board is tackling. “We have renovated and decorated the gazebo for Valentine’s Day,� Forbus said. “We have also started to plant trees again.�

The gazebo is on city property on Tallassee Street just across from the

First Baptist Church.

Mayor Wayne Smith said Dianna Porter has done a tremendous amount of work at Keebler Park, something everyone in the city should take pride in since the park is looking better and See BEAUTIFICATION • Page A3

Courthouse square project has setback

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

For nearly four years the Tallapoosa County Commission and the City of Dadeville have been working on plans to renovate the courthouse square in Dadeville and Monday the commission received news that could derail the project. “We opened bids at the end of the month,� Jeff Harrison with CDG Engineers and Associates told the commission at its monthly meeting Monday. “The low bid came in at $1.48 million. We were severely off the mark.�

The county and city partnered in applying in 2015 and 2016 for TAP (Transportation Alternative Projects) grants with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). The City of Dadeville was going to provide $135,000 in matching grant funds and engineering fees and the county was going to provide $94,000 in matching grant funds and fees.

With engineering fees and testing already paid for, the bid would bring the project to $700,000 over budget.

Originally, the project was budgeted for $900,000 and was to include renovating sidewalks, moving utilities and landscaping.

With the project both on county and city property and rights of way, the Tallapoosa County Commission and the City of Dadeville combined their projects to try and get more work done for the money. As the idea of the project progressed, so did the scope and eventually included an idea for one-direction See SQUARE • Page A5

Study: Nearly 50 percent of people would break up with irresponsible spender STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

It’s Valentine’s Day and it’s time for lovers to value their relationships.

In addition to deciding how much to spend on a Valentine’s Day gift, people across the country are contemplating how much to invest in a possible future with their current heartthrob. And financial savvy is high on the list of relationship requirements, as 46 percent of people would break up with their significant other if he or she spent irresponsibly, according to a new survey from WalletHub. That may sound harsh but it’s understandable in the aftermath of the Great Recession and considering the state many Americans’ finances are in now. Consumers hit $1 trillion in credit card debt for the first time ever in 2018, for example.

The fact financial irresponsibility can be a deal breaker romantically also is demonstrated by 53 percent of WalletHub’s survey respondents saying they would not marry someone who has bad credit.

But can a pretty face or an athletic body outweigh bad spending habits? Not according to the six in 10 people who say they are more attracted to educational and financial success than physical

traits. However, there is a gender divide: 44 percent of men still find physical appearance most attractive, compared to just 30 percent of female respondents.

“According to research in evolutionary psychology, men typically place a greater value on physical traits, particularly those that signal youth and fertility … while women tend to place a greater value on a man’s ability to provide for (their) offspring,” said Abigail B. Schneider, an assistant professor of marketing in the Anderson College of Business at Regis University. “In our society, educational attainment often translates into financial success or a man’s resource acquisition potential.”

The long-term picture may also factor into the value people place on looks versus success.

Financial responsibility and education benefit people for their entire life. “Good looks fade,” said Steve Sherman, an instructional specialist at Montclair State University.

“Also, with a little grooming and exercise, it’s fairly easy to alter physical characteristics — personality and wealth, not so much.”

Men are also more prone to putting their finances in jeopardy in the interest of love, WalletHub found. Men are two times

more likely than women to spend more than $100 on a Valentine’s Day gift and three times more likely to say a Valentine’s Day gift is worth credit card debt.

“Research shows that some behaviors tend to align with and reinforce our gender-identity and that includes Valentine’s Day gift-giving behavior,” Rice University marketing professor Constance Porte said. “It is well-known that men have assumed the societal role of taking on more of the gift-giving burden on Valentine’s Day. They spend more, and are more willing to go into debt to do it. Doing so could help some men reinforce their sense of male identity and help them express this identity with others.”

Although they plan to spend more for Valentine’s Day, men are not as concerned about what they will get in return. Men are more likely to not expect any gift than women are, while women are more likely to expect gifts of $50-$100 and $100-plus.

“I think there’s still a sense that men are supposed to be the one who do most of the courting, and the Valentines present is part of that,” said Karen Becker-Olsen, an associate professor of marketing and interdisciplinary business at The College of New Jersey. “Also, there are more things that girls would appreciate than men — girls are more likely to expect a gift while men are less interested in having a classic V-Day gift.”

While it’s wonderful to spend money on your significant other for Valentine’s Day, there are plenty of presents you can give without overexerting your wallet or taking on debt. There are also lots of ways to reduce the cost of gifts that do cost money. For example, the best credit card sign-up bonuses now offer $500-

plus for spending a few thousand dollars within the first few months of opening an account. If you’re going to spend that much over that timeframe anyway, why not get a hefty discount in the process?

At the end of the day, your partner probably won’t appreciate his or her gift if your Valentine’s Day spending ends up causing financial hardship throughout the rest of the year. After all, WalletHub’s survey found four in 10 people say irresponsible spending is an even bigger turnoff than bad breath.

Valentine’s Day spending survey — Key stats

• 46 percent of people would break up with their significant other if he or she spent irresponsibly.

• Women are 33 percent more likely than men to spend $0 on a Valentine’s Day gift. Men are two times more likely than women to spend more than $100.

• Men are over three times more likely than women to think a Valentine’s Day gift is worth going into credit card debt for.

• Four in 10 people say irresponsible spending is a bigger turnoff than bad breath.

• 53 percent of people would not marry someone with bad credit.

Valentine’s Day facts

• $20.7 billion: Total Valentine’s Day spending projected for 2019 ($161.96 per person celebrating).

• $196 vs. $100: Men spent nearly twice as much as women on average for Valentine’s Day 2018.

• $7.6 billion: Amount Americans will spend on jewelry ($3.9 billion), flowers ($1.9 billion) and candy ($1.8 billion).

• 9 million: Number of marriage proposals made each Valentine’s Day.

Members of the Dadeville Beautification Committee have renovated and decorated the gazebo on Tallassee Street across the street from the First Baptist Church.

Beautification Porter is organizing community events for the park.

“She has taken Keebler Park as her own,” Smith said. “Now the city still holds the deed.”

Porter said she is organizing an Earth Day celebration for April 13 and it will include an egg hunt, clean air painting, and has taken on projects to make the area better.

“The tree trail will be finished by then,” Porter said. “And we just planted 1,200 daffodils.”

The council asked police chief David Barbour to look into the speed limits on North Loop Road.

“We did a study,” Barbour told the council.

“I think the speed limits are fine.”

Barbour said the average speed he noted on the road was 34 mph and the speed limit is 45 mph. Barbour said he noticed a number of log trucks using the road and the council is looking at putting a weight restriction on the road since it is not constructed to handle such loads.

In other action the Dadeville City Council: • Heard councilmember Dick Harrelson say the parks and recreation

continued from Page A1 department has taken delivery of a new bush hog and the police department has taken delivery of a new 2019 Tahoe for patrol.

• Approved the purchase of a new tractor and side cut bush hog for mowing rights-ofways. The city will pay $40,000 cash and finance the remaining $34,000 with payments coming from the city’s portion of the gas tax. The tractor and mower combination are available through state bid.

• Gave a deadline of March 15 for a homeowner on Lafayette Street to clean up a burned-out home. If it is not cleaned up by the deadline, the city will hire someone to clean it up and bill the property owner or put a lien on the property.

• Approved increasing the fee for lots in the new part of the cemetery to $500.

• Approved a new computer for the fire department. Fire chief Keith Wilkerson said he found some online for $500 - 600. The council also approved the purchase of emergency reporting system software. The cost is $750 up front and $100 a month. Wilkerson said it will allow online tracking of fire reports

and training and is the same system used by fire departments in Hughley and Childersburg.

• Approved transferring a 2013 Tahoe from the police department to the fire department.

• Approved eight recreation center rentals.

• Agreed getting a list of surplus property together to declare it’s no longer needed and then auction it off.

• Smith asked councilmembers to come with a list of dwellings to tear down as part of another demolition grant.

The grant application would be for $250,000, would require a 10 percent match from the city and take care of the demolition of 15 to 20 buildings.

• Tabled a resolution to replace fencing at McKelvey Park. The lowest quote came from Turner Fence for $9,600.

Councilmembers asked about funding sources since the project was not in the budget. Some suggested the county school board could help and others asked about the Dixie Youth program helping.

The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council is at 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday, Feb. 26 with a pre-council meeting starting at 5 p.m.

environment faced by rural healthcare providers.

“Our facilities here will be stronger because of the move,” Ivy Creek CEO Mike Bruce said. “We are closing a hospital that was losing money. It was causing a burden on the system and we will be better in the end. It is a stronger position for us.”

The Georgiana Medical Center was one of two hospitals in Butler County with LV Stabler in Greenville being the other, but Ivy Creek is not abandoning Butler County.

“We are gaining the home health there,” Bruce said. “It will better in the long run.”

Bruce said Medicaid reimbursements and ability to recruit medical providers made things difficult in Butler County but help Ivy Creek operations in Elmore and Tallapoosa counties.

“There was little to use for recruitment of physicians there,” Bruce said. “Here, we have Lake Martin right in the middle. It is a huge recruitment tool to get doctors to look at rural healthcare here.”

“The rising costs of healthcare coupled with the cuts in reimbursement have made it impractical to maintain financial viability with two hospitals operating in Butler County,” Bruce said in a release. “The partnering of the two organizations is the optimal way to continue to provide overall high quality healthcare for the residents of Butler County, as well as the surrounding areas.”

Ivy Creek and LV Stabler, which had operated competing home health businesses, will combine operations to provide more efficient and effective care for their patients. Ivy Creek will manage the combined home health agency. The creation of this new home health organization, named Ivy Creek of Butler Home Health, will take effect over the next 90 days with no significant changes.

“Small hospitals, in particular those in Alabama’s underserved rural counties, are under tremendous financial pressure,” LV Stabler interim CEO Connie Nicholas said in a release. “We’ve seen other hospitals across the state forced to close their doors. Together with Ivy Creek, we see this realignment as a means for maintaining healthcare options here at home and providing for the needs of our citizens who depend upon us.”

Page A3

continued from Page A1 According to Alabama Hospitals Association policy director Danne Howard, about 88 percent of the state’s rural hospitals are operating “in the red” and are not currently receiving reimbursements that can cover the cost of delivering care.

U.S. Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL) says this is another wake-up call to do something about Medicaid in Alabama and the nation.

“For years, our rural hospitals have been warning public officials about the financial cliff they faced in large part as a result of unfair Medicare reimbursement rates and the refusal to expand Medicaid in Alabama,” Jones said in a release. “Thirteen hospitals have closed in our state since 2011. Seven of those have been in rural areas. How many more rural healthcare providers need to close for meaningful action to be taken? This should be a wake-up call — actually, another wake-up call. We all have a responsibility to take action to expand Medicaid, to fight for wage index reform, to find opportunities to lower the cost of healthcare and to find common ground to best serve our communities.”

Jones has also called for reforms to the Medicare Wage Index, under which Alabama currently has the lowest reimbursement rate of any state in the nation. Alabama hospitals are reimbursed for their labor at a rate that is just 67 percent of the national average, while some states, such as California, get well over 100 percent of the national average.

Ivy Creek will still own and operate the Elmore Community Hospital, the Lake Martin Community Hospital, urgent cares in Wetumpka, Chilton, Enterprise and Tallassee, the Wellness Center at Lake Martin, the Lake Martin Pharmacy, the Wetumpka Pharmacy, hospices out of Dadeville and Wetumpka serving several counties, Ivy Creek Home Health, Lake Martin Home Health, Reliable Home Health Carlile Pediatrics, Ivy Creek Clinic, Lake Martin Family Medicine, Lake Martin Pediatrics, Prattville Primary Care, River Region Family Medicine, Wetumpka Pediatrics, Ivy Creek Family Care of Millbrook, Ivy Creek Family Care of Holtville, Chronic Care, Ivy Creek Occupational Medicine and respite resorts and sleep disorders center at Lake Martin Community Hospital and Elmore Community Hospital.

A day for more than just lovers

V

alentine’s Day is mainly considered a holiday for lovers but it should also be a time we tell all the people who mean a lot to us how we feel about them and how much they are appreciated.

That includes parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, friends, preachers, teachers, first responders, coaches, co-workers and others who have an influence on our lives.

The tribute doesn’t have to include candy, flowers, teddy bears, romantic dinners and cash. Sincere words, spoken or written, can have a huge impact. So can a hug or a handshake.

As is the case with Christmas, Valentine’s Day has been heavily commercialized and its root meanings have been shunted to the background.

According to history. com, a Catholic saint named Valentine was a martyr for either performing marriage ceremonies between soldiers and women in secret against orders or for helping Christians escape brutality.

The latter scenario is at least more romantic.

Valentine was supposedly imprisoned for aiding Christians in their escape from Roman prisons, where they were often tortured. While in jail, he fell in love with a young girl, possibly his jailor’s daughter, who visited him there. Before his death, the legend goes, he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today.

He died either way, which is certainly a gloomy outcome, but the inspiration lives on.

St. Valentine didn’t have access to 1-800-flowers.com or to Pangburn’s candy but his heart was in the right place.

Take time today to reflect on those who love you and those you love, and tell them how you feel.

I

’ve never been a fan of Valentine’s Day. In addition to my love of Groundhog Day, I’m a big proponent of birthdays, and Valentine’s Day just happens to my brother’s birthday. So when I was younger and people would wish me a happy Valentine’s Day, I would respond, “Happy Bob’s birthday!” (I actually still do this, if I’m being honest.)

Even when I was in a relationship or dating someone, Valentine’s Day just wasn’t my thing. And it’s not actually because I’m cynical or think Valentine’s Day is a just a fake holiday created by greeting card companies to generate money; I just don’t love it. The candy isn’t good, roses seem like kind of a waste of money and there’s too much pressure surrounding the date.

To quote “Gilmore Girls,” “Suddenly, on a certain date, the level of my affection for a person isn’t measured by the way that I treat them or what we share.”

Valentine’s Day was always just too much for me.

But, depending on how you look at it, my views on Valentine’s Day changed two years ago.

Back in 2017, I was engaged to be married.

It was all planned out.

here isn’t much in life that can prepare you for being left five days before Valentine’s Day and five months before your wedding. Being in the midst of it all, thinking everything is right on track, assuming your fiancé is just as happy as you are, then coming to grips with the fact things aren’t even close to going the way you thought they were.

It was a normal day; I was a senior in college working full time and I got home from work, called my fiancé to open the door for me because I had my hands full of groceries. He said OK and he loved me.

Normal, right?

He opened the door and asked me to sit down.

Nope. Not normal.

You can guess the rest of the story — he needed to figure himself out before committing to me, wasn’t in love with me anymore, the whole spiel.

students in every class and have to turn some away. I think it will be a positive.”

Windle explained there is still work to be done as state requirements for certification require the students to be 19 but several systems putting cosmetology in their career tech centers might get the state to look at the issue. The teaching and training program is an effort to grow teachers from within.

“There is a critical shortage of teachers,” Windle said. “We have known for 15 years about math and science teachers. It is now all the way down to elementary teachers. I believe we can grow some ourselves.”

Windle said the idea is to partner with education programs at Auburn University, Auburn Montgomery, Jacksonville State University and others to try and steer students into teaching with the hopes they will return home.

The system will also take part in a pilot program for new standardized testing. It will be in the same program the state is moving to next year, according to Windle.

“It will give us a year head start,” Windle said. “We will get to understand the language and other things about the new tests.”

Windle and the board recognized the bus maintenance crew for its efforts in maintaining buses. The effort was noted through the state’s annual inspection.

“In our annual bus inspection, they found no deficiencies,” Windle said.

“That is hard to do. They almost always find one or two minor deficiencies and that is good too. They also found no major deficiencies. They usually find something. With zero deficiencies, you set a record as far as I know.”

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education transports more than 2,200 students daily on 49 routes with 56

buses.

Board members Betty Carol Graham and Matilda Woodyard-Hamiliton were absent from the meeting.

In other action the Tallapoosa County school board: • Heard from a parent about disappointment in how bullying incidents at Dadeville Elementary School were handled. Windle said students are disciplined according to guidelines and administrators followed policy.

• Tabled a parent’s to enroll children in Horseshoe Bend School while living in the Dadeville school district. The parent said it was to keep children involved in already established afterschool activities in Alexander City where current afterschool daycare gets the children to

activities.

• Approved negotiations to buy 10 acres of property adjoining property at Horseshoe Bend School and two lots of adjoining property at the central office in Dadeville.

• Approved payment of bills.

• Approved the monthly financial report. “We have a little over $5 million in the back,” Windle said. “That includes the $1.87 million to meet the one month’s operating reserve. We are in good financial shape.”

• Approved a bid of $23,389.50 for a 2015 Chevrolet pickup from Glynn Smith for the bus shop.

• Approved the retirement of Amandita Burnette, SIMS operator at Horseshoe Bend School, effective Feb. 28.

• Approved a purchase services agreement for Deryck Hodges to fill in as a English language arts teacher for someone on maternity leave.

• Approved Naloxone training to give the antidote for opioid overdoes and updated scoliosis screening.

• Approved out-of-state and overnight trips for students. Trips include the Reeltown marching band to Orlando, the Dadeville High School band to Chicago for the St. Patrick’s Day parade, winter guard competition, Beta club trips and sports trips. “What a tremendous experience for those students,” Windle said.

The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education is at 5 p.m.

Monday, March 11.

Square traffic around the courthouse meaning portions of Cusseta and Tallassee streets would have to meet ALDOT requirements for a state road. Tests revealed work would have to be done to the base of those streets to bring them up to par.

Harrison presented several options to the commission as to what could be done to move forward. One option is to go ahead with the project with the county and City of Dadeville coming up with the $700,000 in additional funds. Second is to go back to ALDOT for additional funding since it showed great interest in the redirection of traffic around the courthouse along with federal entities.

Harrison is hopeful ALDOT and others will help with more funding.

A third option is to scale back the project.

“All of their TAP related projects are coming up in excess of funds,” Harrison said.

“Hopefully we can go back before ALDOT and see if we can get more funds.”

Commission chairperson T.C. Coley also suggested a combined work session between the commission and the Dadeville City Council to see if the entities could come up with a plan of how to progress with the project, if at all. Harrison said CDG would present

continued from Page A1 the same information to the Dadeville City Council tonight.

Alabama Power representative Marshall Griffin spoke to the commission about the installation of transmission lines along U.S. Highway 280 in Dadeville from the William T. Thweatt Industrial Park. The work is along westbound lanes of the highway as the power company is establishing a dual feed to a substation in the

industrial park constructed last year.

“It will create a dual feed to the park,” Griffin said. “It is good for Dadeville and it’s good for Tallapoosa County.”

Griffin said the new lines would eventually be extended beyond the park toward the Auburn area.

Junior Leadership Lake Martin, consisting of high school juniors from Tallapoosa County and Alexander City schools, was present for county

government day.

In other action, the Tallapoosa County Commission: • Approved warrants and purchase orders.

• Authorized the chairman of the commission to execute documents for liability insurance for county property.

• Approved a Federal Medical Leave Act request for a county employee.

• Approved the county alcohol licensing fees as

required by the state.

• Approved a capital lease for two pieces of equipment through Valley National Bank at 2.93 percent for 60 months.

• Approved a resolution from the Association of County Commissions of Alabama in support of an increase in Alabama’s gasoline and fuel taxes.

The last increase of the gasoline tax was in 1992.

• Went into executive session for 30 minutes to discuss economic

development incentives with Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance representatives Don McClellan, Denise Walls, Sabrina Wood and Griffin.

The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Commission is at 9 a.m.

Monday, March 11 at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville.

The courthouse will be closed Monday, Feb. 18 in observance of Presidents Day.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY

February 14 is Valentine’s Day, also known as the Day of Love. It is a time when many people buy the one they love gifts. It is considered to be a romantic holiday, but some also tell their friends and other family members how much they mean to them. School children often bring small cards to hand out to all of their classmates on Valentine’s Day. A homemade card is one of the best gifts that you can give someone you love. Valentine’s Day was named in honor of Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest who believed in love and marriage. Hearts and the colors red and pink often symbolize the holiday. Red roses are the PRVW SRSXODU ÀRZHU JLYHQ RQ WKLV GD\ DV ZHOO DV KHDUW VKDSHG ER[HV IXOO RI VPDOO FKRFRlate candies. Another notable Valentine’s Day treat is Conversation Candies.

Five arrested on drug charges in Alex City STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Five people were arrested on drug charges Friday when the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force executed a search warrant on a robbery suspect in Alexander City, according to the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Office.

The task force was following up on the location of the robbery suspect and, during a search of the residence at 10th Avenue and vehicles parked at the site, investigators recovered seven grams of meth, marijuana and $279 in cash, the sheriff’s office said in a press release.

The sheriff’s office said those arrested were Kayla Sweat, 29, Hogan Layfield of Alexander City; Zachary Thaggard, 26, of Dadeville; Eric McCormick, 28, of Camp Hill; David Hogan, 35, of Alexander City; and Claudia Layfield, 24, of Dadeville.

Sweat and Thaggard were each charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana, illegal McCormick Sweat possession of prescription drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

McCormick was charged with three counts of possession of a controlled substance, two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia and promoting prison contraband.

Hogan was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug Thaggard paraphernalia.

Layfield was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The investigation of the possession, distribution and trafficking of illegal narcotics is ongoing in Tallapoosa County, the sheriff’s office said.

Once a prospect is identified, LMAEDA will make contact through email, mail and direct calls to facilitate a face-toface visit with the company, either in Alexander City or their location. “Providing the company with information about buildings and sites, infrastructure, workforce and logistics is very important,” McClellan said. “Most importantly we want them to know that we have excellent workforce development programs at Central Alabama Community College. Being able to find skilled labor is the top priority for all manufacturing industries now. Our partnership with CACC is invaluable to our recruitment efforts.

“We are greatly appreciative to commissioner Coley for funding this database membership for us. Within our budget limitations, we would not be able to afford it otherwise. Economic development is truly a team sport and even though we currently only have a staff of three, it feels good to know that our team is much broader than that. Every elected official, our board members, city and county employees, especially the engineering departments, all play an important role when we work projects and we couldn’t do it without them.”

ANOTHER SEASON ENDS

First-half struggles signals season’s end for Dadeville

By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For The Record

A series of first-half miscues, miscommunications and missed opportunities will cause the Dadeville to miss the basketball regionals following a 58-50 loss to the upstart Pike Road Patriots on Tuesday night.

Dadeville, which fell behind early, allowed nine first-half turnovers. That, according to Tigers coach Jesse Foster, proved to be a contributing factor to the loss.

“Not a good first half,” Foster said. “I don’t know if we were a little nervous. But they fought back and got back in it. I’m proud of them.”

In its first season as a varsity squad, Pike Road jumped ahead early but quickly fell into a 7-7 stalemate and ended the first period riding the crest of a 12-4 wave.

See BOYS • Page B3

The Dadeville girls basketball team came out on fire against Pike Road, which was playing in its first Class 3A Southeast Sub-Regional in school history.

But the Tigers couldn’t keep their hands on the ball, and their season slowly slipped away.

Dadeville committed 32 turnovers in a 49-35 loss to Pike Road on Monday. The loss ended the Tigers’ season at 10-14 and was a chance to reach the regional tournament for the first time since 2013.

“I’ve seen this team battle hard all season, but we just got away from our offense in the second half,” Dadeville coach Pam Holloway said. “We really couldn’t handle their pressure, and we got down early. We started dropping our hand and we didn’t have enough energy.”

The Tigers trailed only 26-22 at halftime despite having 20 turnovers before the break. The Patriots (20-11) took advantage, outscoring the Tigers 13-6 in the second quarter.

The Tigers were led

by Janiya Wyckoff, who finished with 12 points and Nhylee Banks, who finished with 11.

Banks hit a 3-pointer to cut Pike Road’s lead to 31-30 midway through the third quarter, but

the Tigers couldn’t take advantage of drawing the bonus with 4:04 left in the period.

Pike Road coach Courtney Ward said she had never seen many Class 3A games before taking the job following three seasons in turning around the program at Sidney Lanier.

Ward, who lead the Poets to regionals the

last two seasons, didn’t get a shot at a complete summer with her new team. Pike Road is in its first season of varsity competition.

“We’re just going off of faith and hard work,” Ward said. “I knew that if we could play our game, we’d be fine. We started off a little bit slow, but I thought we responded well.”

Tigers teams kick off season under new direction

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Both Dadeville’s baseball and softball teams are in similar boats, as they are under the direction of firstyear head coaches. But both said the transition has been going well, and the baseball team especially is entering the season with lofty goals.

“Our ultimate goal is to win a (Class) 3A state championship, and I really think we do have the team to win it,” Dadeville baseball coach Curtis Martin said.

“We’ve been working hard this offseason. My main slogan this offseason and throughout the season is going to be focus and effort. I want the guys to give me their ultimate focus and effort. That can win or lose ballgames, and it’s really how bad you want it. I think we have a great group of guys that share the same ultimate goal with me.”

The Tigers have six returning starters, including leading hitter Slade McCullers, who finished with a .411 batting average and had 13

Aaliyah Manora led the Patriots with 16 points.

Jada Roberts scored 14 and Jahkiah Lewis had 11. Pike Riad ended the game on a 19-4 run.

Pike Road is off to Saturday’s Class 3A Southeast Regional semifinals at Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery.

Spraggins and Ty Bell are all making the transition from the JV squad to varsity, but Martin said he is confident in them moving up.

On the mound, McCullers, Outlaw and Sims all return with a lot of experience.

Dadeville’s Alex Ray and Dillon Burns got off to a great start as the Alabama Student Anglers Bass Fishing Association began its spring season Saturday on Lake Martin. Ray and Burns collected 14.22 pounds of fish, which was nearly a half pound more than anyone else, and won the tournament.

Reeltown’s Brody Ledbetter and Brady Hurley also placed in the top 10, as they caught five fish totaling 12.30 pounds.

Benjamin Russell caught a ton of fish, as five of its six boats brought in the five-bass limit. But the Wildcats’ weight didn’t amount to much. Their top finishers

were Slade Davis and Mary Beth Coker, who caught a total of 10.93. They also had two other teams finish in the top 100 out of 191 boats. Wilson Hays and Hamp Meadows placed 77th with a weight of 8.41 pounds, and Jackson Kelly and Camden Adair totaled 8.06 pounds for 88th place.

Dadeville’s best finish after Ray and Burns was 45th but four of its next five boats were in the top 100. Taking 45th overall was Gauge Daniel and Luke Keel, who brought in 9.61 pounds worth of fish, and Hunter Ward and Eli Pritchard weren’t far behind with 9.18 pounds, good enough for 52nd. Buster Coker and Jordan Rambo earned 57th place with 9.10 pounds, and Sawyer Sapp and Madolyn Daniel also

caught the limit and totaled 8.98 pounds, which earned them 61st place.

Horseshoe Bend was in its first official tournament as a competitive fishing team, and it had a pair of boats place in the top 100. Jadon Dark and Keagan Sharpe were the top boat for the Generals, as they placed 43rd overall with 9.71 pounds of bass. Taking 84th were Wes Young and Grayson Walls, who brought in five fish good enough for 8.14 pounds.

Reeltown, which took 10th as a team, had two other boats place in the top 100.

Brody Newman and Hunter Simpson racked up 10.27 pounds, which placed them in 30th, and Tayden Stephen and Colt Adcock caught 8.42 pounds to earn 76th place.

ometimes your coach is going to do something you don’t agree with.

Maybe he’ll take a timeout at an inopportune time. Or maybe she’ll single you out even though you think a mistake on the court wasn’t entirely your fault.

Heck, perhaps a coach is just going to make a mistake. Many times, he or she will own up to it. I don’t know how many coaches have told me throughout my career as a sportswriter, “That’s on me. That was a bad coaching decision.”

Regardless of what happens on or off the court, coaches deserve respect. First of all, coaches are your elders, so it’s just the polite thing to do.

Secondly, he or she has likely been in your shoes. They’ve almost certainly played the sport they’re coaching, and they’ve learned from their mistakes as a player.

Most importantly, though, your coaches have your back.

Your coach wants to see you succeed. Whether that translates into wins or losses may not be controllable, but a coach doesn’t want her players to fail.

A lot of times if a player isn’t getting enough time on the court or is benched midway through the season, you’ll hear parents say, “Well, the coach just doesn’t like my kid.” I’ve never seen a See ARBOGAST • Page B2

There were several Rebels who played in role situations last year who will contribute quite a bit more this year. Madison Ledbetter will typically play first base, while Peyton Ledbetter, who was a courtesy runner last year, is going to take up the third outfield spot.

Savannah Hornsby and Bentley Baker are both middle infielders, and Cameron Tubbs and Laney Futral will catch and play infield.

Offensively, Hilyer is hoping Reeltown has a lot of variety to bring to the table.

coach actively dislike a player he or she is coaching. A coach may not always agree with a player’s decision or he may get frustrated when he can’t seem to get a certain message across to a student-athlete.

But actually disliking a player? I doubt that’s ever been the case.

It’s true sometimes coaches are hard on players.

I’ve walked many football sidelines and been at many baseball practices and know emotions are high, competitive juices are flowing and sometimes things are said that may not have been otherwise.

I’m not saying there can’t be exceptions to the rules. Of course there are times when coaches take things too far.

But that being said, coaches are supposed to be hard on players. Coaches are teaching student-athletes about more than just a sport. They’re teaching them life lessons — how to not give up even when it seems like all the chips are against you, how to be there for your teammates and how to work toward a goal and how to achieve it. Every coach will tell you when his or her student-athletes graduate, they want them to be not only better athletes but better people.

And I guarantee coaches aren’t benching people because of personal feelings.

Maybe a starter isn’t playing that night because he didn’t show up to practice the day before. Maybe a kid isn’t getting as much playing time anymore because another kid beat him out for a starting job.

Whether coaches are making decisions because they are trying to set a standard or because they are trying to win, I can tell you they’re not making them based on how much they like or dislike a player off the court.

Lastly, coaches put in a lot of work. They’re usually not paid much, and they’re sacrificing a lot of time away from their own kids to help yours become better. While it’s the players who execute on the court, coaches put in a lot of sweat, tears and hard work getting there too. They deserve to be treated as such.

And one more thought on that note: If you’re not a starter, please stay engaged.

I was so proud of the Central Coosa boys basketball bench last Thursday night. The Cougars’ five starters played 95 percent of the game, but never once did the bench look bored or disinterested. Those players were cheering and chanting and seemed just as hyped as the ones on the court when a Cougar would swish a 3-pointer or drain a hard layup.

As a “benchwarmer,” you never know when your moment may come, and I’m sure your coach will tell you you’re just as much a part of the team as anyone else.

There’s no easy way to get from Skipperville to Reeltown so the visiting G.W. Long Rebels did everything they could to make the trip memorable including ending the host Rebels’ girls basketball season. G.W. Long, which was ranked No. 8 in the final Alabama Sports Writers Association Class 2A poll, defeated Reeltown, 50-34, and will advance to face Samson in the Regional Tournament at Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery.

“We came in and did a pretty decent job of executing,” Reeltown coach Will Solomon said. “The problem is they got off to a really fast start. Unfortunately for us, we picked a bad night to play them — they really shot the ball well. I have no problem with our effort; we got after them all night.”

One of the biggest contributors to Reeltown’s downfall was the lack of production on the offensive end. Mikiya Jones accounted for 21 points, eight rebounds, two assists and a steal. Eryn Wells accounted for four points and was the second highest scorer on the team.

Taniya Haynes, Makayla Langston, Diyanna Newton and Kenzie Hornsby combined for a total of nine points.

“They did an outstanding job playing man defense and that’s something we haven’t seen a lot of this year,” Solomon said. “They made it tough for us.”

situations.

Long (25-5), however, made itself at home. The visiting Rebels went on an 8-0 run to start the game, prompting a Reeltown timeout.

Reeltown answered and cut the lead to 8-6 following a Jones triple. Long jumped back ahead and ended the stanza leading 12-8.

“We pushed the ball a pretty good bit,” Long coach Jody Hughes said. “I feel like we outlasted them. I thought we played really good defense.

We knew coming in, (Haynes) likes to penetrate and a lot of their offense depended on her getting in the paint. We tried to eliminate as much penetration

as possible. In doing that, we gave up a few open looks to (Jones) and she made some shots. I feel like we did a really good job of taking their offense away from them.”

Mary Beth Long, an offensive non-factor through the first half, took control of the game in the second half as a force inside, scoring 14 of her 18 in the final two periods.

While Long was a threat on the inside, Hannah Payne paced the Rebels from the outside with 15 points.

Reeltown started the third period in the hole but looked to dig its way out of it with a Haynes basket.

will lead off, and Martin said the strategy of the offense will be built around getting guys on base for heavyhitter McCullers. McCullers drew a team-leading 24 walks last year as pitchers began to pitch around him, and Martin said he’s hoping to force opponents to pitch to McCullers.

“Defensively, I also think we’ll be pretty solid,” Martin said. “We have a lot of versatile guys, and we have guys that can play in many positions, which is a really good for me to have. I have guys that can move from second to third, from short to pitcher, even catcher to first base or even from outfield to infield. I have a lot of guys who are just plain athletes.”

While Martin oozes confidence, first-year Tiger softball coach Jordan McGuire is a little more hesitant to set her expectation, but she did say she feels like she has a lot of talent.

With the Dadeville girls basketball team making a run in the postseason, McGuire got her entire roster back only two days ago, so she’s still learning how the pieces of the puzzle will work together.

Tiffany Rice (sr., CF); Cali Jones (sr., RF); Isis Johnson (sr., utility); and Brittany Claybook (sr., 1B) are

all returning starters. Johnson could play anywhere from shortstop, third base to outfield.

McGuire boasts several infield utility players, as Timirian Tinsley, Malorie Meadors and Jailee Kirkland can all move around the diamond. Zoe Veres will catch.

Taking up time in the circle will be a combination of Makya Johnson, Meadors and Isis Johnson.

“I don’t know which one will be my top pitcher,” McGuire said.

“It’s really going to be in different situations, we would have a different pitcher.”

Offensively, the Tigers are hoping to use variety to their advantage.

“I have a lot of good bats and not just our bats, but I’ve got bunters and we’re working with some slappers too,” McGuire said.

“We’re trying to make us very versatile on offense.”

Dadeville has dropped down to Class 3A and will be in an area with Randolph County, B.B. Comer and Beulah. The baseball team kicks off the season noon Monday at Tallassee and will also play Clay Central at 2 p.m. Dadeville’s first softball game is 5 p.m. Monday at St. James.

Holding just a six-point lead Wedesday night, Reeltown’s Diyanna Newton turned up the defensive pressure with less than a minute to go in the third quarter.

She picked off a Thorsby player at the top of the key and raced down the court for a wide-open layup.

Less than a minute later, in virtually the same fashion Newton did it again. This time she grabbed the steal then more leisurely made her way down the court for another solo score.

The back-to-back transition buckets fired up an already electric Reeltown crowd, and the Rebels’ girls basketball team rode that momentum to a 47-26 victory over Thorsby and the Class 2A Area 8 championship.

“We played a good defense tonight that we just learned last year,” Newton said. “We improved on it, and it made it much better.

We’ve been working on it all year long. After we talked about it, we talked about what to do and how to do it. I just watched the girl’s eyes and made sure we were rotating correctly, and it felt great.”

Dadeville’s girls basketball team celebrates after winning the Class 3A Area 7 tournament with a double-overtime victory against Beulah.

Dadeville girls win 2OT clash with Beulah

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

On three separate occasions Friday night, the clock was ticking down and Dadeville’s girls basketball team had the chance to claim the Class 3A Area 7 championship. But it took until the third time and double overtime for the Tigers to seal the deal.

After 40 total minutes of game clock and nearly 2 ½ hours of real time, the Tigers defeated Beulah, 65-58, to earn the area title.

“All of the above on the emotions, but it says a lot for

them and how they worked this season,” Dadeville coach Pam Holloway said. “I’m just so proud of them. A lot of times teams had adversity that a lot of people don’t know about, and we had some even today — a day that you should be focused on the championship. But we worked through it as a team.”

Each of the final moments of what could’ve been the end of the game were different for the area foes but the Tigers always had a chance to win it.

With 10 seconds left in regulation, Beulah’s Kensley Taylor hit a layup to tie the game, and on the Tigers’

ensuing possession, the Bobcats committed a foul. But Dadeville missed back-to-back free throws with 3.4 seconds left, sending the game to overtime.

In the first overtime period, it was the Tigers who had to fight back as Beulah held a 54-50 lead with 2:04 left after Taylor completed an unusual 4-point play. But Janiya Wyckoff scored back-to-back free throws and with 24 seconds left, Nhylee Banks grabbed a steal and a fast-break layup. She had the chance to win it as she was fouled on the way up, but the free throw tinked off the rim, See OVERTIME • Page B6

Kenzie Hornsby, she saw the ball well at regionals last year. I also have some girls that can slap and hit from the left side, so I’m excited about that.”

On the baseball diamond, the Rebels are under the direction of new head coach Trey Chambers, who is working with a virtually brand new starting lineup. The only returning starters are Logan Hunt (P/ SS), Reed Baker (C/1B/OF) and Kolby Coan (P/OF), all of whom are seniors.

Also getting some time on the mound will be senior Colby Clark, but the rest of the team is fairly young. Logan Leedy and Cade Wood, who are both sophomores, will start at second base and left field, respectively. Sophomores Will Brooks and Colt Adcock will both see time at third base, and freshman Gabe Bryant will catch as well as play in the field some.

Offensively, Chambers is unsure what to expect and said the strength of the team is going to be defense and pitching.

“That’s where we’re going to lay our guns and put our faith in,” Chambers said. “The goal is always to make the playoffs and try to win the area, but it’ll be a tougher road for us this year.”

While Reeltown’s softball team will still be in an area with Horseshoe Bend and LaFayette, the Rebel baseball squad has moved to an area with Fayetteville, Thorsby and Central Coosa; both Fayetteville and Thorsby have been consistent playoff threats.

The baseball team begins the season Monday with a doubleheader at home against Alabama Christian, while the softball team hits the road Tuesday for its opener at Beauregard.

The 21-13 mark expanded to 27-22 in the second period behind the shooting of Shaun Holmes and Kelby Westry, who had 17 points each.

“We are a first-year program and had maybe two weeks as a team in the summer,” Patriots coach Robb McGaughey said.

Dadeville outscored the visitors 9-4 in a frenetic second period and was led

by Jamauri Chislom who scored a handful of baskets by utilizing his size and presence underneath the hoop. Chislom finished with 12 points.

“He’s been a rock, solid for us on the inside,” said Foster.

During the intermission, both coaches gave versions of the same message: “We’ve been here before.”

For the Patriots, that “before” was last week in a loss to Bullock County in the area championship.

“In the area championship game we were up and then kind of folded a little toward the end,” McGaughey said.

“Dadeville kept coming back and I told them: ‘Guys, we were just here a couple of days ago.’”

Leading by five to start the third period, the Patriots opened the third period with a 3-pointer to go up 30-22 but Dadeville went to work.

The Chislom-led Tigers scored six unanswered — four from Chislom then Jay Patrick scored after forcing a turnover at halfcourt — to cut the margin to 30-28, forcing Pike Road to call a

For the second game in a row, Dadeville’s boys basketball team found itself in a double-digit deficit.

And for the second game in a row, the Tigers battled their way out of it en route to a victory.

Friday night’s game was the essential time to do so, as the 55-44 victory over Randolph County secured the Class 3A Area 7 championship for the Tigers. And the best part about it was avenging a loss in the area final a year ago when Dadeville coach Jesse Foster thought his team let one slip away.

“It feels great to take care of your home court,” Foster said with a grin. “We had the chance to do it last year, and Tallassee came in here and beat us. They cut our nets down, so this year we’re cutting the nets down.”

Randolph County literally couldn’t miss to start the game. It began with backto-back 3-pointers to take a 6-0 lead before Dadeville could even blink, and it made its first five shots of the night to take a 14-4 lead midway through the opening frame.

But Foster quickly took a timeout and tried to settle his players down.

But on successive trips to the free throw line, Pike Road pushed ahead, 49-45.

In the same spot as Patrick, Thomas McKinley knocked the bottom out of a 3-pointer to bring the Dadeville faithful to their feet and move the mark to 49-48.

Tears started early, but the fans showed their pride for the blue-collar Tigers. Now, the offseason begins for a young team that has seen how good

it can be with just a little confidence.

“I hope the girls learned that they can’t take anything for granted,” Holloway said. “We played like this all season. When our leaders get down, the rest of the team follows. We have to continue to work on staying motivated, because this was a close game until the end. It’s disappointing, but I’m proud of my team.”

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your determination to let another person feel cared about could be charming yet weighty in some manner. Look at what he or she needs in order to feel this way. In general, others seem easygoing. Trust your timing with a project or conversation.

Open up discussions. Tonight: Use your imagination.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others note your changeability. You might be subject to soaring energy followed by sudden depletion. You also might be defensive on some level. Be optimistic, and respond to others in that vein. You might be more fortunate than you realize with a partner or Ã&#x201E;nances. Tonight: Hang out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your problem is that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re such a social butterÃ&#x2026;y; you seem to intrigue many people. Others often misread your friendliness. If someone becomes irate today or later, this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response could be a result of his or her expectations.

Hopefully, you have been clear in your communication. Tonight: Could become abundant with cards, candy and more.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) A last-minute quarrel with a friend or someone who is key to your emotional swings could put you in a sour mood. Carrying a chip on your shoulder does not help. Be aware of distancing yourself and its impact.

Tonight: A friend puts a smile on your face.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might not be content with a professional or outside situation.

Isolate that attitude to the issue at hand. Friends and even former lovers might use today as an excuse to call and catch up on news. Tonight: Make sure that the apple of your eye is smiling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to others in general. However, do not lose your focus on a key matter or get others involved. A loved one or partner has a whole other set

of ideas that do not work for you.

Be clear, and avoid confusion at all costs. Tonight: Out playing Cupid or his recipient.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your energy makes those with whom youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re romantically involved feel as though Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day happens every day. Still, do not forget today.

An argument could start out of the blue. Money could be involved. If possible, keep the peace; delay any discussions. Tonight: You know what to do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You prefer to speak and share on an individual level. You like the depth and understanding that evolve. Your Valentine might not understand this choice and could become jealous.

Preventive action works. Tonight: Your choice is clear.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your Ã&#x201E;ery style usually makes you the Ã&#x201E;rst to call or take action. You might not have that choice at present. People seek you out -- some for friendly Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salutations, others for a motley of additional reasons. Get into the spirit of the moment. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might get quite involved with a project, hobby or issue in your daily life. Others might be distracting you from meeting a goal. Stop to take a deep breath and understand the social nature of the day. Tonight: First, call your Valentine.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Certain ideas and choices could overwhelm you. Allow your creativity to get past a diÉ&#x2030;cult situation -- for now. Confusion probably adds to the tumultuousness of the moment.

Tonight: Get into Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A misunderstanding could evolve between you and your sweetie. Know that confusion and this misunderstanding are the causes. Let go.

Express your caring in an unusually special manner. Tonight: Be the catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meow.

and once again, the teams needed more time.

Both Dadeville and Beulah started to feel the pressure and combined for a staggering 22 turnovers in the second extra period alone. It was a Beulah steal and layup from Angelica Calloway with under two minutes to go that put the Bobcats ahead 58-57.

But that was the last time Beulah had the lead, as the Tigers reeled off the next seven points, including five from Wyckoff, to ensure the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so proud of their work ethic and heart that they had,â&#x20AC;? Holloway said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to see them cut the turnovers down because we had so many opportunities and we gave it right back. But one thing I say about them is they work hard to get right back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I do wish we could take care of the ball better with the turnovers, and I think that would make a big difference for us moving forward because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to limit that.â&#x20AC;?

Although Dadeville did have its fair share of turnovers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 48 to be exact â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Tigers also used a highpressure defense to create some chaos of its own. Beulah finished with 57 turnovers, and 17 of those were due to Dadeville steals. Layla Grace and Banks each had three steals while Natori Giles, Wyckoff, Makya Johnson and Nena Pearson had two apiece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it was a big key for us to be able to keep moving the ball,â&#x20AC;?

Holloway said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have to work on some things that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on all year and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting back. We gotta get back on defense and be able to pick up and know where the ball is, things like that.â&#x20AC;?

The best part about the area championship is the Tigers have the right to host a sub-regional game which was against Pike Road on Monday, and Holloway said that experience is going to make a big difference for her squad, which is loaded with seven freshmen.

offensive game. They forced 18 Thorsby miscues, six of which came off Reeltown steals, but it was bigger than just the turnovers.

Thorsby relies heavily on its sharpshooters, and those players couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get good looks at the basket as Reeltown clamped down on the perimeter and closed in on the inside when needed.

The Rebels ran a combination of a zone and man defense which allowed them to focus on making Thorsbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooters uncomfortable all night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just sort of like a matchup defense,â&#x20AC;? Reeltown coach Will Solomon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We told our team at the beginning of the first practice that we were going to build our team on defense and they took it to heart. I think that speaks for itself that we got some turnovers tonight, but the biggest thing is we made them work the ball.â&#x20AC;?

After two tough regularseason matchups, the Rebels looked like the better team from the start. They built up a 10-0 lead right out of the gate, and Thorsby didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on the board until Carlee Wyatt finally scored with 1:28 left in the first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we had to start fast,â&#x20AC;? Solomon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If (Wyatt), (Hannah Smith) and some of those shooters can get their feet set, they can light it up. (Wyatt) did that right at the end of the half; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great shooter. We knew if they started fast and hit some 3s, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be playing from behind all night, so that was huge.â&#x20AC;?

Wyatt did give Thorsby a huge spark at the end of the half. After Reeltown

had built a double-digit lead on two different occasions, Thorsby fought back in it by a pair of longballs from Wyatt in the final minutes of the second quarter. Reeltown led only 23-19 going into the locker room, but once again, the Rebels turned it up defensively and held Thorsby to just four points in the third quarter to spread their lead back out to 10 points.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a long time coming for Reeltown,
