During the April 11 meeting of the Dadeville City Council, it was reported that only one bid for the demolition of dilapidated buildings throughout town had been received. This bid was rejected for being far over budget. The council then decided to re-bid the project out, breaking the list of buildings down into See DEMOLITION • Page 3

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced on Wednesday that state funding for Pre-K programs would be increasing for the upcoming fiscal year, allowing for schools throughout Alabama to continue growing their respective Pre-K programs.

According to a press release from the Governor’s office, 122 new Pre-K classes will be added, making the state Pre-K classroom total 938 and enrollment of students 16,884.

“A high-quality childhood education program has long lasting benefits on our society as a whole,” Ivey said in the release. “Investment in our people through education, no matter at what level, is an investment in economic development. I am proud that we are now offering our nationally acclaimed First Class Pre-K program to more Alabama children and families.”

For the Pre-K program offered by the Tallapoosa County school system, this increase in funding has been highly beneficial.

Author and photographer Glenn Wills presented some of his work, Forgotten Alabama, during Thursday’s weekly meeting of the Dadeville Kiwanis Club. A handful of photos from locations all across the state that have been abandoned to the passage of time were displayed on screen as he told the story of many of these locations.

The initial idea for this project began in 2007 as he was driving down Highway 280 between Childersburg and Sylacauga.

“I looked, and there was this rusted 1957 Chevy Bel Air on top of the hill,” he said. “I pulled over to take a look and there was about 30-40 acres of all these old, rusted cars.”

Some of these cars dated back to the early 1920s, and none were newer than the late 1960s, according to Wills.

However, it was not until he discovered an old Shell gas station in Chelsea that was demolished before he could photograph it that really got his desire to photograph these locations going.

Shane Harris receives state service award B CLIFF WILLIAMS By SStaff Writer

Tallapoosa County Extension Service Agent Shane Harris S has h joined an elite crowd after being awarded the Distinguished b Service Award this week by the S Alabama Association of County A Agricultural A Agents and A Specialists.

S “It’s a big deal,” Harris d said.

“You s have to have at h least 10 years l in i extension and a it’s usually Harris given to those g in i the middle of o the career or near the end.”

Harris explained that the state is i divided into three districts and a committee from each district makes nominations from the m district and then a statewide d committee selects a total of two c to t three statewide from those.

Harris was not the only one honored. h “A couple others got honored also,” Harris said. a Harris is proud of the award especially since some of his e mentors have received the award m in i the past.

“It is a great honor especially when you look back at previous w agents honored,” Harris said. a “It “ is one of those things that everyone looks forward to e receiving.

A couple of my r mentors, Tommy Futral and m Chuck Browne received it C several years ago.” s Next up for Harris is a July banquet in Salt Lake City at b the t annual convention of the National Association of County N Agricultural Agents where Harris A and a other Distinguished Service Award receipts from across the A country will be recognized. c

Plane

continued from page 1

Currier’s words in the report.

Data contained in the report shows that after that call, the single-engine Beechcraft A36 Bonanza was falling at about 1,000 feet per minute from its cruising altitude of 5,000 feet.

From that alert, the reports states: “Over the next 1 minute, the airplane continued on a northerly track before it began a turn to the west as the controller identified the closest public airport, private strip, state highway and open areas for potential forced landing sites, which the pilot acknowledged.”

With no power and little altitude to glide to safety, it appears that Currier aimed for the only clearing he could find.

The report recounts the final 36 seconds that were recorded that day.

“At 11:58:59, the airplane was tracking westbound at 1,500 feet msl and 86 knots groundspeed when the pilot announced, ‘Atlanta 69Y it looks like I’m coming down…’ and that he did not have a runway in sight. There were no further communications from the accident airplane. At 11:59:34, the last radar target was observed on a westerly track over densely wooded terrain.”

Investigators who worked the crash scene discovered that the “initial impact point was in trees about 30 feet above the ground. Most tree trunks displayed blunt fractures, but some displayed clean angular cuts. Tree trunk and branch sections displaying angular cuts were scattered along the wreckage path.

The main wreckage was inverted, faced

opposite the direction of travel, and was consumed by post-crash fire.”

The report indicates that the propeller was still attached to the engine, but had been damaged in the crash and fire. The motor would not turn by hand.

The report shows that the plane had been in good mechanical condition, that it had been properly maintained and that Currier had extensive training as a pilot and a wealth of flight hours. He retired from the Army as a CW 5, and at the time of the crash he worked as an instructor pilot for URS Contractors at Fort Rucker near Enterprise.

Keith Holloway of the NTSB stressed that the report was preliminary and that a final determination can take 12 months or more to complete.

The report is another step in a process that was filled with drama and tragedy.

The remote nature of the crash scene made it tough for rescuers to get to the site and then had to contend with the fire.

Once first-responders got to the victim, the pilot was flown from the wreckage after a daring long-rope rescue by Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Troopers, who said Currier had tried to shield his wife from the fire after the crash.

He was flown to Columbus Medical Center where he was stabilized before being taken to Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital, which has one of the Southeast’s top burn units. It was there that he later succumbed to his injuries.

smaller groups to hopefully get a greater amount of interest drummed up.

At their May 25 meeting, it was reported that, for the first group of buildings, one new bid had been received by the city council, but that three would need to be submitted before further progress could be made.

As of Friday, Dadeville continues to slowly make their way closer to the point of starting the next phase.

“Our bid writer has been reaching out to a number of companies,” Dadeville City Clerk Robert Gardner said.

More than 40 requests were sent out to

these companies to try to gain a greater amount of support than was initially received.

When Gardner spoke with the bid writer earlier in the week, a second bid had come in, helping the town get that much closer to being able to tear these dilapidated structures down, only one bid short from moving forward.

Gardner said there was no definite way to know when any further bids would be coming in, but he would be in regular contact with the bid writer regarding this project.

Forgotten

In order to effectively map m out interesting locations to photograph, he sat down in the summer of 2013, divided the state into 13 d sections and examined each s section on Google Maps, s marking places he thought m would be good to document. w He H pulled up the map he had h made, showing the state covered in markers, with c between 2,500 and 3,000 b locations noted. lo In his two books, Forgotten Alabama and F More M Forgotten Alabama, Wills W chronicled such diverse locations as a garage d with w tri-fold doors in Dothan, the th last remaining structure

of the Camp Opelika prisoner of war camp from World War II, the childhood home of Rosa Parks, the Boaz Outlet Center, the railroad depot in Wadley and Tucker’s Pharmacy in Camp Hill.

Several attendees purchased copies of his books he had brought with him, while others asked

questions, wondering if Wills had heard of or visited certain locations around the state. He was also asked if he was going to continue documenting these places throughout Alabama.

“It’s an ongoing project,” he replied, suggesting that the work begun in Forgotten Alabama may never truly be done.

Pageant said Dadeville High School teacher Ashley Gresko, who has also been spearheading the planning for the pageant.

“This is not a college scholarship,” she said. “It’s designed for students to attend summer programs or take private lessons. It will give them the chance to be successful and grow their talents.”

Ideally, students from both the Tallapoosa County and Alexander City school systems would be eligible for these scholarships, detailing how the funds would be used during the application process, according to Gresko. She felt that the impact made by providing these summer scholarships could be great.

The initial thoughts about holding this pageant began in November, but it was only within the last two months or so that everything really started to materialize, Gresko said.

With this being the first Miss Tallapoosa County pageant, the money raised will be primarily going towards attorney’s fees and other costs related with setting up a non-profit organization, as well as actually obtaining nonprofit status.

Once the non-profit organization gets up and running, and the Miss Tallapoosa County pageant has established itself, Gresko said that there will be additional fundraisers set up to further support

this program.

Pageant contestants will be grouped into two divisions, junior (ages 0-9) and senior (ages 10 and up), further broken down into smaller age groups. These categories range from Baby Miss (contestants less than one year old) up to Ms. (women ages 25 and up).

The two required events are Formal and Fun Fashion. The formal aspect will be more traditional, with contestants wearing evening gowns and similar attire, while the fun fashion category allows participants to dress up in an outfit they feel best encapsulates their personality, according to Gresko.

In addition, contestants may also choose to take part in any of four optional categories: Talent, Photogenic, Sweetheart and People’s Choice.

For the talent portion, contestants will have three minutes to perform on stage. Those taking part in the photogenic contest must submit photos when registering, which will be judged and then returned to the participants. To win the sweetheart competition, a contestant must collect signatures and donations for the organization, and entries to the people’s choice category must provide a voting box, which will be placed in the lobby, where the audience can submit their votes.

“I would love to have 100 contestants participating,” Gresko said. “I feel that, as a contestant, it’s not as much fun to compete against a small field. I want everyone to have a good experience.”

She also said that this would be an open pageant, with registration open to any female interested in taking part.

“Anyone who wants to come and support Tallapoosa County arts is fine by me,” she said.

For those wanting to participate in the first ever Miss Tallapoosa County beauty pageant, the entrance fee is $75 per participant, which covers all of the required aspects of the pageant.

An additional fee will be added for participants also taking part in the photogenic and talent portions of the pageant.

If sisters are entering the pageant together, all additional entries after the first will cost $60. The deadline to sign up is July 7. A link to the registration form can be found on the Miss Tallapoosa County Pageant Facebook page, while hard copies can be found at Harbor Learning Academy in Alexander City and Little Lambs and Ivy Day School in Dadeville. All band directors in the county have copies, or anyone interested can e-mail misstallapoosacounty@ gmail.com for

Keep kids busy and off the sofa this summer

W

e’ve all heard the phrase “The lazy, hazy days of summer.”

As a school-aged child, that can be the case. School is out for the summer and often times there is no place to be and no need to bounce out of bed and get the day started early.

While a break from classes and activity can be a welcomed break, experts say it’s a good idea to not let our children completely ignore the quest for knowledge and the need to be somewhat physically active.

Research gathered over a 100-year period indicates students score lower on standardized tests when they take the exams at the end of the summer months rather than at the start of the summer, according to the National Summer Learning Association.

Parents can keep their kids’ minds stimulated by enrolling children in summer enrichment programs, reading initiatives, clubs and organizations, have them attend camps and even making educational programs and games part of their indoor activities when they are inside at home.

Here in the Lake Martin community we are blessed to have several programs available at little or no cost to help parents keep a child’s mind active.

For the kids, summer reading programs are everywhere. Reading programs are planned at the Russell Library, one sponsored by the United Way that is featured in today’s paper and another reading program in Dadeville at the library there.

At Dadeville and Horseshoe Bend, there are summer arts enrichment programs set every Monday through Thursday from June 5 to June 29.

The Boys & Girls Club also has an incredible summer program that combines physical and educational activities for young folks. Almost every church in Tallapoosa County offers some sort of Vacation Bible School as well.

Also, it’s important not to allow kids to become couch potatoes during the summer.

Encourage kids to play sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball or skateboarding. Have them active in martial arts, get them in the water swim or kayak, set up an obstacle course in the backyard or just turn up the music and get them dancing.

Editorial Sharing the knowledge gained from life’s hard knocks Our

T

he candles on my birthday cake Friday were blown out and the feat was accomplished without having to call Reese McAlister and the Alexander City Fire Department to help extinguish the 56 flaming embers atop the sweet, confectionary delight that set before me.

I know the clichés associated with age and the sayings that are supposed to make you feel better about getting older. Stuff like age is only a number, you are only as old as you feel and young at heart all come mind. There is a nugget of truth in all of those lines.

Myself, I prefer: I’m not getting older, I’m gaining experience.

I really believe that. I try to look at every day as an adventure and every thing that happens as a lesson from the classroom of life.

I treat every stupid thing I do as a kernel of knowledge that hopefully I will learn from and not repeat.

Well, if I’m being totally honest here, I’m still working on that part.

But I have packed a lot of living into these last 56 years. I can assure you that my tombstone will not read: MITCH SNEED He was a careful man.

Considering all the rambling above, I have decided to give all of you a birthday present of sorts.

I want to share the benefit of all that experience I have obtained.

So here are a few of the things that I’ve learned in my 56 years.

• Make time for yourself, because no one else can do that for you.

• There is nothing more important in life than your family.

Don’t miss an opportunity to spend time with them and tell them how much they mean to you and that you love them. I have been guilty at times of letting this one slip my mind. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

• Don’t dance with a woman who has a tattoo of a dagger on her

MITCH SNEED Editor

arm. That’s a long story for another day.

• If your Dad tells you to “Write that down in your little black book,” pay attention. Sharpen your pencil and commit it to memory. You can bet it is valuable information.

• No one will ever love you as much as your momma and nothing hurts as bad as losing her too soon.

• A bad day at the lake fishing is better than a great day at work.

My Dad used that all the time and it is so true.

• Unless someone has died, everything can be fixed. It often takes nothing more than hard work, swallowing your pride and admitting your mistake.

• There are some things in life that are worth fighting for.

Sometimes that means coming to blows, but more times than not it means just standing your ground and doing what you know in your gut is right.

• Don’t play cards with a person whose first name is the same as a city. Just trust me, this is a valuable tip.

• Being nice pays the same as being ugly. So why not be nice and try to brighten someone else’s day?

• If you get mail, electronic or in your mailbox, that starts off saying you MAY already be a winner – throw it away. Those words are code for “we are about to spit in your ear and tell you it’s raining while we take you for a economically disastrous ride.”

• You may not be the smartest person in the world or have the most talent, but you can outwork anyone if you really want to be successful. You just have

to want to be the best and then do whatever it takes to the best version of yourself possible.

• If you don’t take a chance, there’s very good possibility to will be stuck right where you are.

• If someone says, “Hey ya’ll, watch this,” you better watch and have a camera or a video camera handy. It is bound to be something that is funny or incredibly stupid.

• Laugh often, cry when you need to and love life and the people who mean the most to you.

• Surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you may turn out to be the smartest thing you can do.

• Help others every chance you get and when you can’t be straight up and tell them the truth.

• Don’t waste time on people or things that bring you down or fail to make you or your life more rich.

• Most of life’s setbacks are our own fault. People don’t waste a lot of time plotting against you.

At the end of the day, you are the only person you can count on to be there for you. So if you find yourself in a jam, figure out what you did wrong, vow not to repeat it and work like heck to dig yourself out even if it takes some time.

• Friends are valuable, so treasure your true friends.

There’s a great line from a Tracy Lawrence song that goes like this: “Everybody wants to slap your back, wants to shake your hand when you’re up on top of that mountain. But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up and see who’s around then.”

I’ve lived that one my friends and found out who my real friends were in a hurry. Never, ever forget the ones who are there for you when you at your worst point.

That’s about it. Thanks for reading and letting me do what I love to do.

Letter to the Editor

The truth about Trump’s budget proposal A close look at the new budget proposal floated

by President Donald Trump is not a tax plan.

Nope, not at all.

Did you vote for Trump and think you were going to get a tax cut? Nope – not unless you are rich.

Will his tax cuts help the lower and middle class? Nope. The fire and police department uniforms cannot be deducted anymore. Excuse me!

Come on folks, they need MORE help – not less.

Cuts on childcare, etc. Tell me who this helps?

Corporate taxes – with all their deductions they don’t need tax cuts.

Will these tax cuts help the deficit?

ABSOLUTELY NOT! It will put us in a trillion dollar deficit again! Don’t you remember when Bush and Cheney were in office and tried this? Didn’t work,

L

did it? And, do you honestly think the rich are going to put more money into the economy? Well, you have been duped if you think that.

Now, will our rich senators sign against Trump?

Seriously doubt it. I expect if we could investigate we would see serious under the counter gifts.

Most of the senators will benefit from this tax cut so why should they care about the lower and middle class? How do you think one of our illustrious senators is the richest in Congress?

I believe we all should see Trump’s taxes before anything is signed. Let’s all see how much he and his family and friends will benefit from his tax plan.

Thank you for letting me vent.

Birthdays are meant to be special

ast Sunday, we celebrated my birthday. I won’t tell you exactly how old I am, but let’s just say I’m half way to 90. You weren’t planning on using your math skills when you started reading this, were you? It was a great day, complete with a houseful of ladies, homemade chicken casserole, and cake.

I got two new pairs of jeans, two new polos, and a Jaws t-shirt to go along with them.

The last time I had two new pairs of jeans, President Bush the elder was in office. You think I’m kidding. Ever since I got the Jaws shirt, I’ve been hearing the Jaws music in my head.

I seldom had birthday parties growing up, and by “seldom” I think I had one. It’s not a big deal. That’s just the way it was.

Mama always got me a cake and present and that was perfect.

Now, I’ve had a little birthday celebration three of the last four years, and I kind of like it. I really don’t care anything about the gifts—although I won’t turn them down—I just like being around some of the people I love. Whew! That was cheesy, yet true, nonetheless.

This past Sunday, we celebrated Lucy’s birthday.

I won’t tell you exactly how old she is, because I’d like to

make it to 90. Let’s just say that she’s an eighties baby—an early eighties baby. I’ll leave it at that. I can hear the Jaws music as I type this paragraph. It was a special day. We’d planned on doing a Low Country Boil outside, but due to the rain, had to move it into the garage. I just opened the garage door and enjoyed the sound of the rain and celebrated with Lucy and the ladies. It was very special: family, food, and flies. Man, there were lots of flies. They apparently like seafood.

I’ve always thought birthday were overrated. I mean, everybody has one. Everybody.

They not only have them, but they have them every single year. While some people do go overboard—yeah, I’m talking to you, you “birthday weekend”, “birthday week” and “birthday month” celebrators. Stop that.

Stop that night. I no longer think of them as overrated. They are special. But, all I need is an hour or two with family and

friends and a thousand Facebook messages and I’m good to go until next year.

Birthdays really are special, and we should celebrate the births of the special people in our life. Those people are the ones who help make our lives special in the first place, and on or about Dec. 3, God willing, Lucy and I will celebrate the birth of our first child together.

We’re fairly certain it’s a boy.

Both my father and brother had nothing but boys. We did the swinging string test and everything. We will find out the gender next week. It’d be nice to have a boy. I need a partner in crime at these birthday dinners.

We are blessed and will be excited either way. Our mothers are very happy about having more grandchildren, and Emily is excited about being a big sister. It just hit me that her birthday is December, too. Maybe we’ll have just a “birthday month.”

Dadeville to offer Police treatment brought to Camp Hill Council’s attention summer arts program By B CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff S Writer

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

For the second straight year, Dadeville Elementary School will be offering a summer arts enrichment program for students from kindergarten to sixth grade. Held every Monday through Thursday from June 5 to June 29, participants will be able to explore their talents in the areas of music, art and drama. “This provides an opportunity to expose these students to the arts,� Dadeville Elementary School teacher and program administrator Christie Davis said.

During the month-long program, participants would spend part of each day working on the script, part of it on props, and part of the day on costumes, preparing themselves for the themed end-of-program performance. This year’s theme is The Wizard of Oz, though Davis said it was not the traditional story, but would instead have a special twist to it.

The program is free to attend, though all participants would need to register, Davis said.

Registration forms can be found at the school office or on the Dadeville Elementary School website. “They can also show up at 7:30 Monday morning and register then,� Davis added. “Preregistration is not required. We have 32 already signed up to participate, but I’ve talked to a lot of people around who told me they’d be there to register on Monday morning.�

Last year, more than 80 students participated in the program, and both they and their parents loved it, according to Davis. “One of the first things many of them asked me was, ‘Are you going to do this again next year?’� she said. “Almost all of the 32 who have already registered took part in the program last year.�

In addition to the program being held at Dadeville Elementary, there is also one taking place at Reeltown and one at Horseshoe Bend.

Students wanting to attend these programs would need to go to the school nearest to them, Davis said.

At the same time, the program is flexible enough to where attendees would not be required to attend every single day in order to participate. “We have some that will go to Vacation Bible School for a day or two, and then they’ll be back,� Davis said.

Sessions each day will run from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and will be held in the seventh- and eighth-grade wing at Dadeville High School, due to renovations taking place at Dadeville Elementary School. Students would be allowed to bring a snack with them, though Davis said she was working on trying to be able to provide them not only with a snack each day, but breakfast as well.

On the final day of the program, the performances are scheduled to begin at different times, with Dadeville slated to start at 9 a.m. “It’s not a normal classroom schedule. It’s laid back and fun,� Davis said. “Just show up at 7:30 a.m. each day.�

The Camp Hill Town Council spent most of its C meeting Monday night in m two executive sessions. t Of the nearly 70 minutes the council was m in i session, about 40 minutes was spent behind m closed doors to “discuss c good name and character.� g One of the sessions was called for by Police Chief c Johnny Potts and appears J to t involve a police officer with w the town.

The officer involved appears to be the same a one o a resident took issue with w in comments to the council. c “Why is he picking on me?�

Camp Hill resident m Freddie Morgan asked the F council. “I just drive a red c truck.� t Morgan explained that the t officer is harassing him. h “This man is always after me,� Morgan said. a “He “ hassles me.

“First time, I came from the post office and was at the stop sign reading my mail. I then proceeded to park. I looked up and saw him in my mirror. I asked him what I had done. He said I was speeding through town. I said no sir I was not speeding and he gave me a ticket.�

The most current episode according to Morgan came over the Memorial Day Weekend as Morgan was visiting with friends just down the street from his home. “Here he come rolling after he spotted me, he turned around,� Morgan said. “He parked on the edge of my yard. I didn’t say anything to him. I decided to film him.�

It was at this point that Morgan says things got confrontational again. “He jumped out of his car and said he was going to give me something to film. He reached and got

also asked the council to increase the tap fee for new water customers as the new water meters go in especially for the one inch and above. “Those meters costs over $300,� Shelley said.

The council approved an annual water pollution report to be forwarded to engineer Shepard Dearing who is helping the town with its ADEM consent decree over the town’s sewage system.

The Camp Hill Town Council also: • approved minutes from the last meeting. • approved being a part of the back to school sales tax holiday in July. • approved moving the normal meeting scheduled for July 3 to July 10. • learned that things are moving along for a flea market at the old airport August 12.

The next meeting of the Camp Hill Town Council is June 19 at 6 p.m.

LMRA hears of new marine police officers

By BETSY ILER TPI Magazine Editor

More marine police can be expected on Lake Martin this t fall and plans are in the works to curtail violations developing at Big Beach, the commander of Alabama’s d marine police told an overflow crowd Saturday at the m Lake Martin Resource Association (LMRA) annual L meeting. m “We’ve been promised 30 new officers later this year.

I hope to get 20,� Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Marine Police Commander Jon Archer told the standing M room only crowd at Children’s Harbor’s Harbor House. r “I “ plan to put five of them on Lake Martin.�

Archer said he hopes to have the officers hired by this fall f and trained in time for next summer’s season on the lake. l “I hope this is the last summer that we are shorthanded on Lake Martin,� Archer said. s Archer also told the LMRA membership that he is coordinating an activity cleanup in Lake Martin’s Big c Beach area near Young’s and Woods islands.

B “We know there were several violations over that way on o Memorial Day weekend – some underage drinking and a boating under the influence. There were some fights that t broke out, and we just want to tell you all that we are a coming. I won’t say when – and I might only have four guys – but we’re coming,� he said. f Memorial Day saw the boats parked three deep at Big B Beach, and LMRA President John Thompson said the t entire area was heavily littered after the holiday weekend. w “There were some folks who went in there and cleaned it up. We’re not even sure who did the cleanup, c

Pre-K to start a second Pre-K class at Dadeville for this upcoming school year,� said Dr. Corinne Garrett, who oversees federal programs for the Tallapoosa County Board of Education.

Last year, applications to enroll 44 children in the Dadeville Pre-K were received, and approximately that same number was submitted this year, according to Garrett. With so many applications being received to fill a total of 18 slots showed there was enough of a demand for Pre-K in Dadeville the board felt it could support a second class.

With the increase in state funding, “Our second Pre-K was on the grant recipient list, so we will definitely be offering it this fall,� Garrett said.

In the near future, Garrett and Reeltown School Vice principal

his gun out and started coming after me.�

Though nothing become of that episode, Morgan says the officer has a past. “He done worked in every town from Roanoke to Lafayette to Valley and now to Camp Hill,�

Morgan said. “All he does is harass and cause lawsuits where ever he goes. He is going to cause y’all a lawsuit.�

With that Morgan retreated from the meeting after exhausting his five allotted minutes of communication with the council.

Following both executive sessions, the council took no action coming out.

Camp Hill Utility supervisor Robert Shelley informed the council that aerators would seen be operating again at the sewage lagoon and that the new chlorine pump was working well. Shelley

but we’re grateful that they took that on themselves to do it,� Thompson said.

In addition to Archer, LMRA hosted Russell Lands Head of Security Mack Daugherty, LMRA Legal Officer Steve Forehand and Alabama Power Company’s Hydro Services Manager Jim Crew at Saturday’s meeting.

Daugherty noted that last winter’s burglary rate around the lake was substantially lower than in years past, due to the cooperation of law enforcement and the precautions taken by part time owners.

Forehand updated members on the status of the Water Wars with Georgia, explaining that the procedural case is now in the briefing phase with a ruling expected this fall.

Crew reiterated that the success of the recent effort to raise Lake Martin’s winter pool level was due in great part to the grassroots participation of the lake’s homeowners and business owners. Utility companies across the country have contacted him for help in creating similar models, Crew said.

The licensing process has begun for Lake Harris, he added, with the first public meeting scheduled for October. As Lake Harris is the next lake immediately upstream of Lake Martin on the Tallapoosa River, licensing decisions at Harris will affect Lake Martin.

Kathy Ledbetter both said that, should the demand still be great for Pre-K in Reeltown, a second unit would be added down there. “There were over 40 applications submitted at Reeltown this year,� Garrett said. “If they increase funding again next year, we will be looking at writing a grant application for a second Pre-K class there, pending space.� “It would be great if it would become funded like kindergarten,� Ledbetter said.

Alexander City Schools Superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper said that the city school board may consider applying for additional units in the future, but they were comfortable with their current offering of four Pre-K classrooms. At the same time, he welcomed the announcement of

increased funding for the state program. “I’m thrilled the legislature did increase the funding,� Cooper said. “We think every child should have the opportunity to attend Pre-K.�

While this additional money does not mean there will be enough classrooms for every child who applies to be able to attend Pre-K in the state of Alabama, the fact that additional classrooms will be open and available for more students to attend than before is one step closer to this overall goal.

Adding only one classroom of 18 students in Dadeville may not seem like a huge change in the grand scheme of things, but for those children who will now be able to attend Pre-K, it makes all the difference.

Now there’s a way to recruit, train and empower, a highly skilled workforce driven by business and industry needs.

It’s your competitive advantage in Alabama.

The Summer season begins on Wednesday, June 21. The word “summer� is derived from an Old Norse word, sumar. Summer is the warmest of the four seasons, because it is at this time that the Northern Hemisphere is closest to the Sun. The Southern Hemisphere experiences its Winter at this time, since it is furthest from the Sun. The start of Summer coincides with a phenomenon called the Summer Solstice. A solstice is the longest day of the year in a particular hemisphere, or the day on which we experience the most sunlight. Our Summer in the United States lasts until around the end of September. For many people, Summer is their favorite time of the year. During the Summer in the United States, kids are on break from school. This is a time when they are able to play Summer sports, swim, and spend time on vacation with their families. Picnics are popular, as well as certain foods and drinks like watermelon Circle the two suns that match. and lemonade. During the Summer, many plants and crops, such as citrus fruits, are ready for harvest. These are just a few things that make Summer so enjoyable. DR KIDZ

Who do you go for?

I

can’t even tell you the number of people who have asked me what seems to be the most important question in the state, “Auburn or Alabama?”

Coaches want to know; players and parents want to know; even the cable guy who set up the Internet at my house wanted to know. The first thing out of his mouth was “Auburn or Alabama?”

I’ve been in Alex City for more than six weeks now, so I feel like, “Penn State?” isn’t an acceptable answer anymore.

Being a VCU grad, I don’t have a whole lot of college football loyalty. I love the sport and maybe have a slight leaning towards UVA because that’s where I grew up, but I’ve never considered myself a diehard fan of any one particular team. All that is about to change.

I’ll admit – I’ve always had a bit of a leaning toward Alabama, but only because of my affinity for Javier Arenas, a punt returner who I loved to watch play back in high school. But can I really make this big of a decision based on one player from more than a decade ago, a special teams player no less?

This isn’t a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants decision. I’ve done endless polling, asked meaningful questions and considered all the angles before choosing a team. I certainly wouldn’t want to alienate anyone without making absolutely sure first.

First, I started with my family. My brother, whom I trust with my life, voted for Auburn, but his daughter, my 2-year-old niece Riley who is my favorite person on the planet, picked Alabama. After all, she has spent every night of her life with Ellie, a stuffed pink elephant.

I then asked some of my most trusted journalism friends. Lindsey Smith, my partner in crime back home, chose Alabama because “elephants are way cooler than tigers.” Am I sensing a theme here? Dave Bohr voted Auburn “because of Charles Barkley,” and really, who can argue with that? Andrew Callahan, who is, in my completely biased opinion, the best Penn State football reporter on the beat said, “Pick Tennessee and piss everyone off.” Great first impression, Andrew.

Next, I took to Twitter because I typically let my followers make all my big decisions for me. Let us all remember the Pickle Pop disaster of the softball state tournament.

After only a week here, I had a solid amount of responses and 65 percent of you guys chose Auburn. That’s not an overwhelming majority, but a surprisingly large one.

I also asked a few close friends. My best football buddy, Danny Poague, who is an over-the-top Miami Dolphins obviously voted for Auburn. “(Nick Saban) is one of the greatest college coaches in the history of the game. But what he did to Miami is inexcusable for a man of his stature.” That was the opinion he gave after realizing he could be quoted in the newspaper – the first response is not publishable. Let’s just say, he really doesn’t want me to pick Alabama.

My oldest friend, Erica Thomas, also went with Auburn, but she’s an Ohio State fan so that’s to be expected.

I’m starting to see a trend of outsiders – other than elephant lovers – leaning toward Alabama.

My editor, Mitch Sneed, who is full of seemingly useless information also gave me this tidbit: The same architect who designed UVA also designed Auburn, and as I said, I have a soft spot in my heart for UVA. My last venture was to ease my skepticism about Tigers crying “War Eagle” and Elephants shouting “Roll Tide.” This made no sense, so I thought maybe knowing these backstories would settle the score. “Crimson Tide” was coined by a former sports editor (so, that’s kinda neat) after a 1907 Iron Bowl was played in the mud, staining Alabama’s white jersey a crimson color. Not that interesting.

However, I was told the origin of the “War Eagle” battle cry was centered around an old soldier who had an eagle for a pet. That eagle got lose during a game against Georgia and soared around the field, helping Auburn to a victory. Talk about an interesting history.

So, long story short, as much as it pains me to go against Riley and her stuffed elephant, I think I’m leaning toward Auburn as my team of choice.

Plus, as I’ve told you all before, I don’t root for perennial powerhouses, so adding Alabama to my official repertoire just doesn’t feel right.

Let’s go Auburn.

REELTOWN TRACK IS BACK Rebels find unexpected success in return season

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sport Editor

Just a few months ago, all the Reeltown track and field team had to show for itself was three dusty old javelins the Rebels found in the field house.

Fast forward to the end of the season, and now Reeltown has a slew of state medals, including a pair of gold championship rings for Eric Shaw and Makevon Hughley.

“I never dreamed in the first year that we would have that success,” Rebels coach Alana Garrard said.

Garrard, who served as an assistant track coach at Albertville for three seasons, just joined the Reeltown ranks prior to this school year, and only a few days before school started, she was approached by principal Tom Cochran to see if she wanted to bring track and field back to Reeltown.

From then, it’s been one set of creative solutions after another to try to build the team from the ground up.

Reeltown had a quasi-track team in 2014 but only a few kids participated.

“The principal considered it the first year it was declared an official spring sport,” Garrard said.

Starting in November, Garrard, with the help of assistant coach Lawrence O’Neal and the overwhelming support of the community and Athletic Director Matt Johnson, set to work. Not only did she have to build a financial foundation, she also had to literally build a track.

Reeltown does not have a traditional rubber track; it doesn’t even have a gravel track like Dadeville.

“Coach Johnson let us line off lanes on the track, so we had real lanes – they were just grass,” Garrard said. “(Johnson) was super supportive. For the hurdles, we just measured off how far apart they were. The kids didn’t realize running on grass that when we went to an actual track, they thought it was so far. But the resistance of the grass was good for them.”

One of Garrard’s more creative strategies was putting together a high jump. Reeltown had the mats, but Garrard had to borrow two metal fence posts and tie a rubber bungee cord between them to mimic the high jump.

In addition to holding an apparel sale and a doughnut sale, Garrard said the best fundraiser was simply asking for donations. She received 15 different sponsorships, was donated sand pits for the jumps and received a slew of hurdles from Reeltown’s retired coaching legend, Jackie O’Neal.

But what was more surprising than Garrard’s ability to create a team from nothing was the Rebels’ first-year success. After starting the entire team out on a mile-course already mapped out at Reeltown, Garrard and Lawrence O’Neal started to parse kids into events that would work for them. The only events the Rebels didn’t offer this year were pole vault and discus.

“I didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t know their sports background,” Garrard said. “But during basketball season, I got a chance to start looking and getting excited for kids who were coming out for track.”

Out of 23 competitors, 20 advanced to the AHSAA Class 2A championships, and Shaw won a pair of gold medals and Hughley climbed atop the podium once. Reeltown’s boys 4x100 team also brought third-place medals home.

Garrard also had an endless number of compliments for all of her first-year competitors.

“They all did so well; I could name them all,” she said.

“I think everybody thought we’d do well, but I think we surpassed some expectations. We had good athletes and their attitudes were great. Even motivation wasn’t a problem. They

never came out in the morning saying, ‘I don’t want to run today.’ I asked them to do something, and they did it. It has been a great experience.”

With only two seniors lost to graduation, Reeltown’s track and field team should be hanging around for a while. Garrard, who was a special education teacher at the elementary school this year, is moving to the high school next year, which she said should bode well for recruiting.

Also, as most coaches know, success breeds success.

“Eric and Makevon both got a gold championship ring and when they had that at school, that set some kids on fire,” Garrard said. “Once so many kids started to see that it was good, they started to want to come out, and I’ll find ’em.

If they don’t have a spot on baseball or softball, I’m gonna have a spot for them on track.”

The Rebels placed sixth in the state in the boys team standings and eighth in the girls, and according to Garrard, the sky is the limit.

“I just finished 24 years of teaching, and I told my freshmen I have 10th-, 11th- and 12th-grade left,” Garrard said. “I told them I’m not gonna retire until we win state. We know where we need to add, but I think we can win it all.”
