Bentley pushes prison plan, pay hike in address

By MITCH SNEED Editor

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley used Tuesday night’s State of the State address to again push for an $800 million bond to help fund construction of four new “super prisons” and asked that state employees be given a 4 percent raise.

“Nearly all DOC facilities are double sometimes triple capacity, infrastructure is collapsing and the tensions created among inmates and officers by the deteriorating facilities and overcrowded conditions have even become deadly,” Bentley said. “Alabama is about to embark on a complete transformation of the state’s prison See BENTLEY • Page 11

In 21 years working as a firefighter in Alexander City Interim Fire Chief Reese McAlister has encountered about every problem imaginable, but this week he and the command staff, along with Misty Brown in the city’s IT Department, are making sure one of those issues is a thing of the past.

The department is setting up all

of its personnel on an app designed especially for first responders called Active911. The service puts vital information needed on each and every call in the palm of their hands.

“When I first heard about it and what it was capable of, it was like ‘where do we sign up,’” McAlister said. “I send a message with an alert to our people that has the address, the nature of the call and even the person’s name.

New Site council agrees to pay employees OT

RADNEY PRESENTS ‘SEUSSICAL JR.’

Issue had been ignored for years but current council deals with it

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The New Site Town Council voted to pay five individuals a total of $17,827 in overtime for the past two years while another will be paid just over $4,800 for half of his accrued sick time upon his retirement in the next year.

New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame said the problem stems from “Most of us were not before his time. here when this “Most of arrangements were us were not here when this made. . . It is our arrangements duty to try to rectify were made,” the problem.”

Blasingame said. “It is our — Phil Blasingame duty to try New Site Mayor to rectify the problem.”

Blasingame explained that he and Councilman Michael East went through two years of time sheets to come up with the overtime number as they agreed to do at the last council meeting.

Councilmember Toby Hanson abstained from the vote.

The $4,800 to pay for sick time came up after a 30 minute executive session to discuss potential litigation with attorney Mack Clayton.

“This is for John McKelvey,” Blasingame said. “Basically we will pay him for half of his accrued sick time at his hourly rate when he retires

DEAR ABBY: I need advice on how to deal with my 18-year-old daughter. A few months ago she was ready to go to college. Then she met this guy via Snapchat.

He’s unemployed, lives with a friend who is under house arrest, has a criminal record and has nothing to offer her.

We took our car away from our daughter to keep her from driving it there. Two weeks ago, she packed her stuff and left with him. She has no job, has spent all of her graduation money and is running up our cellphone bill while living with him. My wife is a wreck, and we don’t know what to do. -- DAD IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR DAD: I empathize with your concern for your daughter, but she is immature and in love. Because she’s 18 you can’t drag her back home. Tell her that now she

DEAR ABBY Advice

has “declared her independence and moved out,” you will no longer pay her cellphone bill. I’m guessing she’ll be back in no time.

DEAR ABBY: I am a 50-year-old male who has been dating a younger girl (28) for a year now.

Everything has been great with her except for one thing.

I am a virgin.

We recently discussed having relations and both agree that we want to.

There’s just one problem.

I have really talked myself up. I lied and told her I am much larger than I actually

am. Abby, I am terrified she’ll dump me after she sees me.

Please give me some advice.

-- NEEDS HELP FAST DEAR NEEDS HELP: From what my “sexperts” tell me, many men at one time or another needlessly worry about their size. It’s very important before you embark on any adventure with this woman that you level with her. Perhaps the story of Pinocchio would be a logical place to start.

DEAR ABBY: My 65-yearold husband has been a lifelong smoker. A year ago he started using an e-cigarette.

When his doctor asked if he smokes, he insists on telling him “no.” I feel it is dishonest and detrimental to his medical records. It makes me crazy.

Don’t you think that medical personnel should phrase this question: “Do you use

nicotine?” Please comment.

-- CONCERNED WIFE IN TEXAS DEAR CONCERNED WIFE: There’s a saying, “Never lie to your doctor or your lawyer.” It is excellent advice. Your husband is fooling only himself by concealing from his physician that he’s still hooked on nicotine.

Whether medical personnel will change the way they phrase that question I can’t guarantee. However, because my column is read by many people in the medical profession, I’m willing to bet that after seeing your letter, SOME of them will.

Alabama is one of five states with two budgets

A

s the third regular session of this quadrennium begins, the paramount focus once again will be on the budgets. Even more specifically, it will be about the General Fund Budget.

Alabama is one of five states that has two budgets. Our Education Budget now receives over two thirds of our tax revenue due to the fact that our growth taxes, income and sales, are earmarked for Education’s coffers, whereas our General Fund gets the remaining one third of revenue and that will continue to shrink because it has no growth taxes.

The General Fund also has to feed the most expensive expenditure of state government – Medicaid.

This Great Society program created by Lyndon Johnson in the 1960’s is a money eating monster that grows exponentially and now eats up over half of the General Fund Budget. This problem is not unique to Alabama.

Every state would name Medicaid funding as its most significant financial nightmare.

We are affected more adversely than most states because we have a much higher indigent population. It is this long term problem that eventually will have to be addressed.

Those who are closest to the problem are aware that it is an elephant in the room that will not go away.

Rep. Steve Clouse (R-Ozark), who chairs the House Ways and Means General Fund Committee, sees it as does Gov. Robert

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

Bentley.

Governor Bentley, being a former physician, is sympathetic to the needs of the less fortunate. He treated all patients during his 35 years of practicing medicine. He also wants to see his compatriot pediatricians paid to take care of poor sick children.

Initially many of the Republican House and Senate members were saying enough is enough. We cannot continue to absorb 10% annual increases in this social program, even if the federal government matches Alabama’s contribution about three to one. However, once a crisis seemed imminent, they realized that it not only affected the poor but also the middle class Alabamians they represent.

In medium sized towns and cities throughout the state it is imperative that Medicaid be funded in order for their hospitals to exist. In Birmingham, it would cripple our crown jewel, Children’s Hospital. It would also be devastating for Alabama’s and Birmingham’s largest employer, UAB. Most respected economists say that Alabama should have taken the Expanded Medicaid Program offered by the Federal Government.

It would have been a financial boon for that state if for nothing else than the windfall to

UAB. A good many of the Republican legislators’ constituents rely on Medicaid to care for their parents and family members and probably a good many of their parents reside in nursing homes. Approximately 70% of nursing home residents in the state depend on Medicaid to pay their nursing home expenses, which by the way is very expensive.

In short, Medicaid is here to stay. It is not going away. Legislators cannot bury their head in the sand like an ostrich and hope the problem disappears.

The legislature and governor have come up with a short term fix to our Medicaid problem.

They appropriated $120 million of the one-time BP oil spill settlement funds and gave it to Medicaid. This was about 20% of the onetime BP windfall.

Ironically, it will be disbursed over the next two years, 2017-2018. Guess what folks – that is when the quadrennium ends. Therefore, the proverbial can has been kicked down the road.

The next governor and legislature will inherit this baby to take care of the following four years.

Legislators may be faced with yet another issue in this overladen regular session. It may be imminent to raise the gasoline tax in the state, which has not been increased in fifteen years. The reason being is that the Trump administration will probably come with a massive federal infrastructure plan to rebuild the nation’s highways and bridges.

More than likely states will have to come up with some matching dollars.

It will be imperative that we take advantage of this once in a lifetime opportunity.

The last major federal highway initiative was the Eisenhower Federal Interstate Program.

We are behind the eight ball when it comes to political capital and attaining federal dollars.

Governor Bentley is blackballed and laughed at by the Trump administration, as are our Congresswomen Martha Roby and Terri Sewell. We also have a freshman Senator who will be ranked 100th in seniority. However, we have quite an ace in the hole. We have Richard Shelby to protect us.

When Shelby speaks, folks in Washington listen and that includes Trump. Richard Shelby is unquestionably one of the five most powerful members of the U.S. Senate.

Post your “F address so help can find you

I

f you find yourself in a situation where you need help, don’t you want first-responders to be able to find you?

On the front of today’s paper we feature a story about an app that will help first-responders, but officials with the Alexander City Firefighters, The Alexander City Police Department and Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department say there is something that you can do to help as well.

No you don’t need to purchase some high-dollar electronic gadget, it’s as simple as posting your house number in a prominent place on your home.

All to often, emergency workers have to rely on descriptions other than house numbers, such as the color of a home, the make and model of a vehicle in the drive way or an illuminated porch light to find a house.

But that’s exactly what they have to do. Emergency responders across the nation bypass homes in emergency situations, simply because the house numbers are not visible from the road.

Just a short few breaths of smoke from a house fire can leave a victim incoherent, and shocks from a defibrillator can increase the likelihood of survival by 80 percent when administered in the first minutes after a heart attack, making it all the more clear that it is vital that emergency workers find homes quickly. But they have to get there to help.

But unnumbered homes are problematic in less dire situations too. They create cumbersome work for United States Postal Service letter carriers meaning residents miss vital pieces of mail.

Though letter carriers usually know their routes well enough to place mail correctly in neighborhoods, it can create problems for new mail carriers.

Mail is important and you want it to get to the right place.

To insure emergency workers and mail carriers can find homes, post three to four inch house numbers in a visible spot near the road closest to their drive. Your life could depend on it.

Freedom isn't free

reedom isn’t free” is something that is often attributed to the sacrifices of men and women in uniform. As an old army guy, I can appreciate that, but this article is about something greater than any man or woman of this earth.

Freedom isn’t free, because Jesus paid the price for you and me. To top it off, I’m a poet and didn’t even know it.

Last Tuesday, a dear friend of mine went to week one of her Freedom Group. They have them for men, women, and co-ed.

So what are Freedom Groups? Per the Church of the Highlands’ website, it goes something like this. Freedom Groups gather for 13 weeks to discuss the Freedom Small Group curriculum, which is designed to equip us to live the victorious and abundant life Christ came to give each of us. Freedom Groups build on the foundation of our faith in Christ to help us embrace the truth of God’s Word as it relates to our worldview, our past, our sin, our personal value to God, and our purpose in His Kingdom. The group will help us remove every obstacle to intimacy with God and walk in true freedom.

So, I decided that I’d start one, too. I’ve been eager to join a Bible study for some time now, but for one reason

JODY FULLER Guest Columnist

or another, it just never happened. In fact, a friend invited me to join a Freedom Group with him a couple of years ago. I think it was my friend Kyle, but I wasn’t sure. On Thursday, I sent him a text asking if he was the one who invited me and if knew anything about any upcoming opportunities to join a group or if he had any points of contact for anyone who may have information.

And then this happened.

“I’ll be honest, I cannot remember, but I probably did.

Man, you (or the Lord) sure has a crazy sense of timing.

We have a men’s Freedom group (me and 3 other guys are leading) starting tonight.

We will be meeting every Thursday from 7-9, and will end with a conference in early May,” he said.

That there, my friends, is what I call a “God nod.”

I could have asked a dozen people. Kyle might not have known anything. They could have been on week 12. It just blows my mind that God’s timing was so immaculate.

I’m really not sure why I get so surprised when I see such obvious divine intervention, because I see it so often. God shows me more signs than Alexander Shunnarah, and that’s saying a lot.

I jumped at the opportunity to get involved. My group is about 15 strong, which is the perfect size, in my opinion.

Although we watched a video and did some work in the study guide, the first night was just an introduction of sorts, but I can already tell that it’s going to be special.

Each of the guys are solid, too. We all have problems. We all have issues. As my dear friend says, we all have stories, even those who you may think have everything going their way. While there are some things I can’t and won’t talk about at this point in my life, I know that whatever I say at Freedom Group, other than the teachings itself, will stay within Freedom Group, because as Kyle says, “What happens in Freedom Group stays in Freedom Group.”

Letters to the Editor

Naloxone can help save lives

Dear Editor, The use of Naloxone can save a life.

Naloxone, also known as Narcan is an opioid antagonist used in opioid overdoses to counteract the life-threatening depression of the respiratory system. It allows an overdose victim to breathe normally.

Although traditionally administered by emergency response personnel, naloxone can be administered by lay people or public, making it ideal for treating heroin and other opioids overdoses. The training is simple and use of Naloxone results in a life saved.

Here is what occurs in an opioid overdose.

When too much of any opioid, like heroin goes into too many receptors, the respiratory system slows and the person breathes more slowly, then not at all. Because Naloxone basically knocks the opioids out of the opiate receptors in the brain, the overdose is reversed and the person is able to breathe again.

However, it is a temporary drug that will wear off in 30-90 minutes and the person should be watched for signs of continued overdose. The overdose victim must seek medical assistance or call 911.

Lack of oxygen from opioid overdose may

lead to brain injury in as little as 4 minutes, yet the average EMS response time is 9.4 minutes.

Seconds can count during an opioid overdose so it is vital if you have a loved one or friends who use, you need to have a plan in place. Most life threatening opioid emergencies occur in the home, witnessed by friends or family.

Brand names of Naloxone are Evzio, Narcan injection, Narcan Nasal Spray. They all come with simple, lifesaving directions and are easy to administer. Upon purchase, read and know how to use these devices and keep them readily available.

Some states have a third-party law where a concerned parent, employee or nurse at a school can obtain Naloxone and administer it without facing legal repercussions (known as the good Samaritan act). If you come in contact with a high-risk individual, you should have this lifesaving overdose antidote.

For more information and the availability of naloxone, go to http://www.narcononnewliferetreat.org/blog/naloxone-availability.html . If you are in need of a referral to a treatment center, call us at 1-800-431-1754.

The hidden danger to the First Amendment John McKelvey

Today’s

Dear Editor, We are living in uncertain and perilous times. While we have just experienced a glowing example of our democracy with a bizarre and unusual Presidential Election, the event has triggered unprecedented protest and challenges by the opposition. Thousands-perhaps millions, have indicated that they will oppose the new President regardless and we have seen celebrity entertainers threaten to, “blow up the White House” There is no stronger advocate of Freedom of the Speech and Press than I. At the same time, I must assert that these freedoms are NOT without limitations and restrictions!

The adage is that freedom of speech does not protect being able to scream fire in a crowded theater! We are seeing the same paradox with the mainstream media with recent

cases of “edited news” or the actual fabricated slant to stories to present their left view.

Remember Trayvon Martin and NBC News’ insertion of racist comments? Or the nationwide push of the “hands up, don’t shoot...” slogan in the Michael Brown Case that the U.S. Justice Department found to be untrue-never happened!

Yet, the mainstream media has continued to this day to push this false story.

In the past ten days, the former Press Secretary to George W. Bush was interviewed on CNN with the network “editing” his answer to reflect the exact opposite of what he said!

Where does it end?

In part, the First Amendment reads, “... “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the

press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” What we are experiencing is more than misbehavior by the media.

This wide spread media abuse is a danger to our freedoms under the First Amendment.

Do we need to add one word to this Amendment, RESPONSIBLE? Whether its down at your local hometown paper or a national TV network, we must being willing to challenge an abusive new media. In journalistic ethics, one is taught that a journalist never become the story, and never take side in political stories. President Trump has promised to take the media to task for their job performance (or lack of). If he does, it will be refreshing and offer a ray of hope.

the Hat tells the story of Horton the Elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing the Whos.

Horton must protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, and he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him.

Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

The production features the students of the Radney School Drama club. The students are not only the actors but are controlling the lights, set and even applying the makeup.

Seussical Jr. will be on stage Thursday and Friday at 6 p.m. and admission is $5 at the BRHS auditorium.

Taxpayers will be assisted in the order they are registered. Please do not bring people to the site not involved in the filing of your taxes due to the limited space.

Waiting may be necessary.

Volunteers will provide free tax assistance and electronically file federal and state income tax forms at Volunteer Connections of Central Alabama, Inc. beginning Jan. 25.

Please arrive and register for assistance at least one hour before closing time.

Jan. 30, 31 and February – Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays – 9 a.m. - 7 p.m.

April 1 to April 15 - Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays --- 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Information You Must Bring To The Tax Site: The following information is required by the IRS: last year’s tax return; photo ID-driver’s license-for taxpayer and spouse; social security cards for taxpayers and dependants; W-2’s; and 1099’s B, R, and SSA 1099. If you have health insurance through the government marketplace, bring your 1095-A. ALL employed taxpayers should bring a copy of their year-end pay stub. In regards to the itemized deduction list, you should bring all the documentation

App phones, tablets, computers and even landlines.

“In an emergency, every second counts,” McAlister said. “We talk about response times. Our goal is to get there and get help to residents as quickly as possible. Having this information is one less thing that we have to worry about getting right as we head to a call.

“There are so many houses without house numbers and streets that have multiple names. With this we don’t have to worry about that. It will put you right on the house. You can’t imagine how much time that saves and what a tremendous help that is.”

At the risk of sounding like a televisions infomercial pitchman, wait there’s more.

In addition to the basic information and directions, the city’s GIS mapping system was integrated with Brown’s help.

So when dispatch sends a call through its computer aided dispatch software, firefighters can also access the exact location of all the hydrants along the route.

“For a truck coming in, they can often hook to a hydrant on the way rather than going all the way to the scene and then going back if they know which one is closest to the fire,” McAlister said. “This does that. You know instantly which one

that applies to you. Even if you do not itemize on your Federal taxes you may be able to do so on your State return.

is the closest and it saves a step and a lot of time. That is unbelievably valuable.”

The department is taking advantage of a free 120-day trial with the app currently and every employee who needs it will be set up by the end of the week. If the initial success is any indication of the results Active911 will produce consistently, McAlister hopes to find money in the budget to keep it active long term.

The cost varies depending on the size of the department, but it runs about $11 per device, which would be less than $800 per year.

“For what this system does, that is a bargain,” McAlister said. “I think we can find ways to pay for it. If it saves enough time to make a difference in someone’s life or someone’s home, you can’t put a value on that.”

The information stream is so good that Interim Police Chief Jay Turner is looking at making it available for his officers as well.

“Anything you can do to reduce response times and eliminate the potential for mistakes or misinformation is extremely valuable,” Turner said. “We have computers in our vehicles and if we could have that send there, that would be a big help to officers. We are definitely going to take a look.”

New Site sometime between now and Oct. 1.”

The moves also mean an adjustment in the town’s budget for the unexpected expense.

The council also decided to start renovating the gymnasium, paying for the project with funds from the renewal of the rental of the cell tower contract and from the proceeds of collecting payments for the Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative.

Blasingame hopes the project will provide more opportunities for children in the area.

“We are looking to use this to expand our youth programs,” Blasingame said. “The Boys and Girls Club might be interested in using it for summer programs if it is fixed up. I think we need to do something for our children.”

Blasingame explained to the council that they had already gotten a quote on the plumbing to bring the bathrooms in the old concession up to code in the amount of $10,010.

“We just got one quote and waiting to get more after we decide it is something we want to do,” Blasingame said.

Blasingame explained that the bathrooms at the main

entrance would be closed.

The total project would also involve replacing doors and correcting electrical and exit light issues at a cost of $23,669.13.

Blasingame explained that the costs would be covered by $12,000 from the renewal of the cell tower contract and the remainder would come from the TREC Fund.

“The REC Fund brings in between $1,200 and $1,500 a month,” Blasingame said. “It would replenish itself in seven to eight months.

Councilmember Mickey Carter thinks it is a good move considering the town has not had to help the youth programs much.

“Youth sports has been pretty much been supporting itself,” Carter said. “It can be used for more than just basketball. It can be used for youth baseball on those rainy practice days for throwing and catching.”

The council approved spending up to $1,500 for materials to help construct a cook shed at the youth football fields.

Blasingame and Carter explained that the youth sports organization had a donation for 10 yards of concrete for the

project to be used for it and in the batting cages. The material would be used to construct a roof over the slab and would use town work crews for the work.

Councilmember Billy Daniel was absent from the meeting.

The New Site Town Council also approved unanimously: • allowing the grant to be applied for the town’s water project for $510,000 that would require a 40 percent match. The majority of the work would be for water pressure in Goldville.

• tabling discussion on the town’s website and Facebook page until the next meeting.

• training for Shelia Fuller to attend the Certified Municipal Clerks Training Institute.

• a water leak adjustment policy.

• the destruction of documents.

• minutes from the Jan. 17 meeting and the Jan. 19 work session.

• amending an ordinance removing the license classification code removing property lessors from needing a business license.

The next meeting of the New Site Town Council will be Feb. 21 at 5 p.m.

he Alexander City Parks & Recreation 50+ Bunco group has been on a roll ringing those game bells! Group Leader, Reba McFee is well organized and makes the games truly fun.

Our Travel Group A recently went to visit the Vulcan in Birmingham.

Cynthia Shealey is pretty scared of heights, but she went up to the top of the Vulcan to view the city sites. After our group tour, we headed to eat at one of our favorite places Lloyd’s. We must have all been starving to dead because at soon as we sat down at our table, everyone started putting butter on saltine crackers before we even placed our drink orders!

Our meals were fulfilling and oh so good. You would have thought that we hadn’t eaten in days ha! What a superb time of fellowship, good eats and interesting sites to see we had on that day.

We cherish our times together and look forward to our next group trek to Lakeside in Wedowee.

We are awfully excited about our Hilltop Players skit performances on Thursday, April 13th.

We have had our first practice this week. Gail Waters and Kathy Luke are a hoot! Mark your calendar for that day from 1-3 to have some fun with us. We will also be playing Bunny Bingo!

appy Birthday to Randy Walker of Nixburg, as he celebrates Feb. 10.

All this rain has caused some swampy land around Nixburg but together with the glorious sunshine, it brings blooms. I noticed Monday that my coral-colored azaleas are opening to share their beauty and the Lenten rose. Let’s hope we get an early spring this year.

My phone that fixed itself and has another bad hum since the rains came.

You know how families and friends always enjoy gathering together. But find it difficult to arrange, especially for those living out-of-town and even for some living locally in such busy times. Funerals do bring us together. This was the case for Erma Belle Atheys ‘goodbye’ service Jan. 31. It was a good service at Flint Hill Methodist. Rev. John Hill seemed to know Erma quite well.

Libby Rogers. Other friends, Tina Bolan (we missed her sister Mona Gilliland), Tina and I reminisced about her brother sweet Ben Carlton, the best Coosa historian I ever knew and such a good friend.

Ben would have loved the comradery and full tables with folks enjoying being together like Sunday Dinner at Grandmas.

My sister Sally sent me a short video of her youngest granddaughter Roxie, 7, learning from the hospital therapist how to walk and go up and down stairs on her crutches.

Roxie was born with a club foot. She had surgery as a baby but her foot was still turning in badly.

Roxie having surgery again last month will hopefully fix this problem. Her foot is now in a heavy cast, hence the crutches are necessary. The cast should come off Feb. 27. We all hope this will be the last surgery.

Roxie is a lovely girl who loves to write and draw and has been good-natured through her ordeal.

My Mum’s youngest sister Teresa just had her second cataract surgery in England and is doing well. Teresa had failed the vision test and was told she would no longer be able to drive, thus the surgery became ‘necessary’.

Having to wait over

six months for the initial surgery date, then just six weeks to get the second eye done. So sometimes, The National Health Service is good and other times it fails miserably. She must be able to drive as husband Ian’s back surgery was put off so many years until after retiring. Then they found prostate cancer in an advanced stage.

Ian has had many different therapies.

They knock him down for a while, but he lives each day to the fullest that he can manage. To meet him, you would never know he had so much wrong. Great positive thinking makes the difference.

The music and life story of Johnny Cash is coming to Alex City through the Arts; more

information here next week. If you are a fan of his music, this one will be for you.

Wishing everyone a great St. Valentine’s Day next Tuesday.

Enjoy the sunshine when it’s out, and until next week; keep smiling.

his past weekend provided enough compelling storylines in the world of sports to satisfy even the most maniacal of fanatics. I can’t seem to focus on one individual story, so I thought I would bounce around and do my best to multitask.

The NFL has never captured my attention quite like college football, but I do watch games every week and stay up-to-date on everything going on.

I’m not sure I can even say I have a favorite team, but if I do it’s got to be the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons drafted William Andrews from Auburn in 1979 and that’s pretty much all it took to gain my rooting interest as a small child.

My brother also had a really cool Atlanta Falcons letterman jacket that I inherited as a hand-me-down.

Needless to say, I was definitely rooting against the Patriots on Sunday night.

However, it turned into a thrilling game and that’s what’s most important to me on Super Bowl Sunday.

For the last several years, there’s been an ongoing debate about whether Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback in NFL history. I’ve personally been reluctant to put him ahead of guys like Joe Montana and John Elway… until now.

For me, there is no longer any debate whatsoever. Brady (a.k.a.

Tom Terrific) is the greatest and it’s no longer a close vote. He rallied his troops down 25 points in one half of football and led them to victory at age 39. He made some of the most brilliant throws in the biggest game at the most crucial of times AT AGE 39! It wasn’t just this game either. It was this entire season. Oh, by the way, Bill Belichick is undoubtedly the greatest coach in NFL history as well. But I bet you already knew that.

Auburn was able to do something on the hard court this past weekend they haven’t done since 2009 and that is get a season sweep against the Crimson Tide. The Tigers defeated Alabama in Tuscaloosa 82-77 on Saturday night. Bruce Pearl’s sharpshooters made 15 three-pointers in Coleman Coliseum and that was the difference.

Auburn is now 15-8 overall and 4-6 in the SEC. The Tigers have eight games remaining on the schedule before the SEC tournament and seven of those are very winnable. Then again, Auburn’s Jekyll and Hyde nature this season also means that eight of the remaining games are also losable. It should be pretty fascinating to watch how these Tigers close out the season.

Twenty regular-season wins would be a major accomplishment for Pearl and the program.

Finally, I just want to say how disappointed I am with the NFL Hall of Fame voters. For whatever reason, they chose not to include Benjamin Russell alum Terrell Owens in this year’s class for the second year in a row. Owens’ antics throughout his career are well-documented, but his numbers alone demand his induction.

Only four wide receivers in NFL HISTORY have over 15,000 career receiving yards. Owens is No. 2 on the list with 15,934 yards. Only three players in NFL HISTORY have over 150 career touchdown receptions.

Owens is No. 3 on the list with 153 TDs. I may not have always appreciated the way he conducted himself, but Terrell Owens never cheated the game. He gave maximum effort on every single down and played his heart out. He is one of the best receivers to ever put on a uniform.

Period. Terrell Owens deserves to be in the NFL Hall of Fame and everybody knows it.

BRHS varsity boys basketball semifinal game pushed back 1 day

By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

Fans of the Benjamin Russell varsity boys basketball team still have a chance to catch the Wildcats’ semifinal playoff game against Opelika at Wetumpka, as it has been rescheduled for 6 p.m.

Wednesday.

According to BRHS varsity boys basketball head coach Jeff Hines, the contest originally set for Tuesday was pushed back a day after thunderstorms and heavy rain hit the area.

“It’s supposed to be getting bad about the time we would be traveling to Wetumpka,” he said.

Other than being moved to Wednesday, the Class 6A, Area 6 varsity boys basketball playoff semifinal remains unchanged.

“Everything is the same,” Hines said.

As the Wildcats prepare to match up with Opelika, Hines is feeling confident about his team’s chances of moving on to the final round.

“The big thing is, I like the way our guys are playing right now,” he said.

Hines and his staff have reminded the Wildcats that their 9-12 season record is pretty much erased in the playoffs.

“We’re making it clear that everybody is 0-0 right now,” the coach said. “You can be 22-2 or 2-22 in the regular season

but it really doesn’t matter in the playoffs.”

Hines also doesn’t want his Wildcats to be overconfident Wednesday when facing Opelika, a team they defeated twice in the regular season.

“They’re going to be ready and they’re going to be hungry,” he said of Opelika.

“But I think we’ve got a good plan and we’re ready to execute — and our guys are hungry.”

The winner of Wednesday’s semifinal game returns to Wetumpka Friday for an area playoff final game at 6 p.m. While both teams advance to subregionals, the winner takes top seed in the tournament.

In the Tigers home wrestling match against Beulah Tuesday, Dadeville senior Tyler Muniz overcomes his opponent in the 152-pound division.

Dadeville grapplers fall to Beulah 30-24 Lack of numbers costs Tigers final home match of the season

By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

In the Dadeville varsity wrestling team’s final home match of the season Tuesday, the Tigers lost to Beulah 30-24.

Despite the team score, the Tigers swept all five of their individual matches.

“I’m real happy with our individual efforts,” said Dadeville varsity wrestling head coach George Richardson. “We don’t have the numbers but quality counts.

These guys are working real hard.”

That quality showed when two of Dadeville’s triumphs were in the first period. In the 152-pound class, DHS senior Tyler Muniz defeated Stinson with

a takedown.

In the 170-class, Dadeville senior Austin Holley got a win over Hale with a pin on a reversal.

One Tiger got an individual win in the second period, as in the 113-pound division, Dadeville eighth grader Dillan Strickland defeated Morris with a takedown and pin.

A lone Tiger also won in the third period. In the 138-pound class, DHS sophomore R.J. Ford bested Hines with a reversal and stalling.

Dadeville junior Kenneth “Ab” Abernathy got a win by Beulah forfeit in the 220-pound class.

Despite a sweep of individual wins from the Tigers, DHS lost due to forfeiting for lack of competitors on the team.

Those forfeits were in the 120, 126, 132 145 and 182-pound classes.

“I wish we had more,” Richardson said. “But I’m happy with what I’ve got because I’ve got some wrestlers.”

Both teams forfeited the 106-pound, 160-pound, 195-pound and heavyweight divisions.

The Tigers next head to Cramton Bowl in Montgomery Friday for the two-day Alabama High School Athletic Association Wrestling South Super Section Tournament.

The Outlook

system. The Alabama Prison Transformation Initiative will transform Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison system into a national model for the 21st century. The initiative will consolidate 14 of 16 maximum custody level prisons into four large-scale, state-of-theart regional correctional facilities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facilities and one womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s facility to permanently replace Tutwiler Prison for Women.â&#x20AC;?

One reason that the prison plan is so vital, Bentley said, is because of the federal mandate to fix overcrowding and substandard conditions.

In October, the U.S. Justice Department launched an investigation of Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prisons. Two separate suits involving mental health care for inmates and a lack of medical care for detainees have been filed, one currently on trial and the other scheduled later this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the campaign trail and from this podium youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard me time and again declare my long held beliefs in our great Constitution, the power and authority it grants to the states,â&#x20AC;? Bentley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our country is made up of 50 sovereign states, and governors like myself, have stood firm while costly mandates were shoved down our throats, and said collectively â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;no more.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The pay hike for state employees that Bentley called for would cost the state $19 million and if passed would be the first cost of living increase since 2009.

Another â&#x20AC;&#x153;priorityâ&#x20AC;? cited by Bentley was a $20 million increase in prekindergarten, which would be about a 30 percent increase and would advance the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal to expand the program statewide.

While there was a lot of talk about what is needed, funding options were not as clear in the speech.

Bentley touched on several of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success stories including ATRIP projects that have helped rebuild roads across the state and announced that now has 2 million people working, more than at any time during his administration.

256-329-1313 Free Consultations 217 Madison Street, Alexander City, AL â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are a Debt Relief Agency. We help people ďŹ le Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 under the Bankruptcy Code. Alabama State Bar requires the following in every attorney advertisement, â&#x20AC;&#x153; No representation is made that the quality of legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.â&#x20AC;?

He talked of job creation in the auto industry and with the recruitment of Airbus to the state.

Bentley also talked of rolling back the sales tax on groceries â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alabama is one of only four states with no tax break on groceries, placing a greater burden on low-income families and those on a fixed-income,â&#x20AC;? Bentley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A task force made up of experts from fields such as education, healthcare, taxation and revenue and the economy will study the impact of removing the sales tax on food.â&#x20AC;?

Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s address was delivered from the Old House Chamber of the State Capitol.

The address was Bentleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seventh State of the State speech to Alabamians.
