‘Addiction is not a choice’ Alabama, Tallapoosa County facing meth, opioid crisis

By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Staff Writer

Addiction is no stranger to Alabama, especially to the thousands of people who struggle with addictions to two of the state’s most common types of drugs: opioids and methamphetamines.

During a 2013-14 study by the U.S. Substance

Abuse and Mental Health Services administration, more than 100,000 people over the age of 12 were reportedly abusing or depending on illicit drugs in Alabama.

But despite some common misconceptions, addiction is not a choice or the result of character weakness. Alabama Department of Mental Health Director of Substance Abuse Treatment and

Development Nicole Walden described addiction as a chronic disease.

“People don’t start out intending to become an addict. Addiction is not a choice,” Walden said. “It gets to the point where you’re not just taking it to get high or feel good, but you’re taking it just so you See ADDICTION • Page 3

W

hile an addiction to opioid medication often begins with a visit to a doctor, it can lead to an unassuming addict down a slippery slope into illegal drug use.

“I believe prescription pills and benzos are the gateways to any drug,” said Nancy McGouyrk, the housemother at the House of Love and Mercy, a recovery facility in Tallassee. “So many girls come here who got started with pills because they are so easy to get.”

Benzodiazepines, sometimes called “benzos,” are drugs such as Valium and Xanax and belong in a class of psychoactive drugs.

They are also some of the most commonly prescribed medications in the United States.

DID YOU KNOW? Alabama has the highest drug prescription rate in the country. It is almost twofold greater than the average U.S. rate of 79. See more addiction facts on Page 3.

DEAR ABBY: It seems the children I raised and taught to write thank-you notes somehow failed to teach their children the importance of being grateful receivers. My two teenage grandchildren have never thanked me for a birthday or Christmas gift. I gave one of them a set of personalized notepaper, but it didn’t spur any action.

Birthdays have come and gone this year, but Christmas is on the way. I’m wondering what I can do to reach these young people in a meaningful manner. I’m older now and don’t know how much longer I’ll be around to influence them.

I recall you had a booklet that addresses writing thank-you notes, among other subjects.

Do you still have it available? -- LOVING GRAN IN OKLAHOMA DEAR LOVING GRAN: Yes, my “How to Write Letters� booklet is still available. And

it’s because the topic of thankyou notes (or the lack of them) is one of the most common complaints I get from readers.

If someone sends a gift or a check and it isn’t acknowledged, the message the giver receives is that it wasn’t appreciated, which is insulting and hurtful.

One of the main reasons people don’t send thank-you notes is they don’t know what to say, or they are afraid they will say the wrong thing. They think the note has to be long and flowery when, in fact, short and to the point is more effective.

That’s the reason “How to Write Letters� was written. It

GENERATOR SAFETY TIPS

N

ever connect a standby generator into your home’s electrical system. There are only two safe ways to connect a standby generator to your equipment.

Powering Up After an Outage When the power goes out, we expect it to be restored within a few hours. But when a major storm or natural disaster causes widespread damage, extended outages may result.

Our line crews work long, hard hours to restore service safely to the greatest number of consumers in the shortest time possible. Here’s what’s going on if you find yourself in the dark:

STATIONARY GENERATOR: An approved generator transfer switch, which keeps your house circuits separate from the electric co-op, should be installed by a professional.

PORTABLE GENERATOR:

1. High-Voltage Transmission Lines: Transmission towers and cables that supply power to transmission substations (and thousands of members) rarely fail. But when damaged, these facilities must be repaired before other parts of the system can operate.

Plug appliances directly into the outlet provided on the generator.

WE NOW OFFER

WHEELS & TIRES!

3. Main Distribution Lines:

Use a heavy-duty extension cord to connect electric appliances to the outlet on the generator.

CALL (877) 456-8732 (256) 409-8100

A substation can serve hundreds or thousands of consumers. When a major outage occurs, line crews inspect substations to determine if problems stem from transmission lines feeding into the substation, the substation itself or if problems exist further down the line.

Set up and run your generator in a well-ventilated area outside the home. Make sure it’s out and away from your garage, doors, windows and vents. The carbon monoxide generated is deadly.

If the problem cannot be isolated at a distribution substation, distribution lines are checked. These lines carry power to large groups of consumers in communities or housing developments.

Start the generator ďŹ rst before connecting appliances.

768 Airport Drive • Alexander City, AL

2. Distribution Substation:

to report an outage

4. Tap Lines: If local outages persist, supply lines (also known as tap lines) are inspected. These lines deliver power to transformers, either mounted on poles or placed on pads for underground service, outside businesses, schools and homes.

5. Individual Homes:

Tallapoosa River Electric Cooperative s TREC COOP

If your home remains without power, the service line between a transformer and your residence may need to be repaired. Always call to report an outage to help line crews isolate local issue.

Addiction won’t feel bad.”

In addition to the devastation it causes on an individual level, Walden said crime rates increase, unemployment increases and the academic performance of students diminishes in areas with a large amount of drug activity.

“Substance abuse affects everything we do, every day,” Walden said.

According to the Alabama Opioid Addiction Council, the number of drug overdose deaths in the state climbed 82 percent between 2006 and 2014.

That trend continues unabated. In 2016, the number of overdose deaths in the state was reported at 741.

Recently, Alabama officials have been more focused on the growing opioid crisis.

In 2017, Gov. Kay Ivey established the Alabama Opioid and Addiction Council to combat the growing threat of opioids.

In the Alexander City

continued from page 1

area, Lighthouse of Tallapoosa County, LLC director Teresa Trammell said meth is the primary drug that plagues residents. However, she added that opioid use is on the rise.

Additionally, Alexander City Wings outpatient rehab clinical director Angela Williams Harp has noticed that many Alexander City locals who struggle with addiction to meth or opioids simultaneously struggle with alcoholism.

“A lot of times, alcohol is the first drug people do. That’s because it’s socially acceptable,” Harp said. “By the time they get to us, they have started with alcohol and have moved on to stronger drugs like meth and opioids.”

Because of the risky behaviors caused by drugs like meth and heroin, Trammell said she has seen addiction cause “You see an increase in diseases like HIV and tuberculosis,” Trammell

said.

Harp said she has seen addiction cause people in the area to drop out of high school and face housing issues.

“With housing, you have a lot of people losing their place to live and not being able to stay stable,” Harp said. “We also see a lot of people living with relatives.”

After having struggled with addiction herself in Alexander City, Harp credited her family, and the resources available in the area, for the decades she has been clean.

“I’m so grateful that some type of help was in the area,” Harp said.

A report released by the Alabama Department of Public Health stated that there were 20 drugrelated deaths and 12 alcohol-related deaths in Elmore County between 2009 and 2011.

While many view the stereotypical drug addict as homeless, poor, uneducated or irresponsible, A Nu

Council the Russell Sales Office.

Jason Harpe with Carr, Riggs & Ingram explained the issues found in the audit were similar to the ones found in 2015, both under previous administrations.

“It mirrors a lot to last time,” Harpe told the council. “It is mainly internal controls.”

Harpe explained one of things auditors found was a decrease in the general fund balance for 2016.

“You will see a $1.4 million decrease,” Harpe said. “It was for capital outlay for the Broad Street project and the taxiway extension project.”

Harpe said things also

The Outlook

In 2013, providers in Alabama prescribed

141.1

opioid medications for every 100 persons. How many prescriptions is that? Approximately 6.8 million.

In 2015 an estimated

5.8 million

prescriptions were written, leading to an estimated

120 opioid prescriptions per 100 persons.

While an addiction to opioid medication often begins with a visit to a doctor, it can lead to an unassuming addict down a slippery slope into illegal drug use.

Years ago, drug addiction was not a common topic in the average U.S. household. Today, however, addiction affects almost every household in America either directly or indirectly. Because addiction often begins with a written prescription from a licensed doctor, anyone including parents, children, aunts, uncles and even grandparents are susceptible to substance abuse.

lot of people have a lot of problems, and it just depends on how they handle the problem and if they’re ready to get help,” Bowman said.

Direction Program Director Jasmine Bowman said addiction can take hold of anyone.

“There are doctors, nurses, private investigators, police officers and teachers. A

was normal for the water department to sometimes subsidize the sewer department and that was the case here, but he also made a recommendation.

“You might want to look at a rate study,” Harpe said.

City officials said they had just recently approved the study for utilities.

The LakeWinds golf course has continually lost funds according to Harpe.

“Historically that has been running a loss,” Harpe explained. “(2016) it lost $264,000.”

Harpe said the city needed the information to have a discussion on the city continually funding

the operation.

The way the city will have to account for retirees benefits will be changing as well to reflect the liability the city has there, but it is not a negative in the audit as all city governments are having to make the change.

Harpe commented on how accepting current city staff was helping with the audit especially considering the condition of things just two years ago.

“There was no difficulty and no disagreements,” he said. “It is a lot to get together and it’s getting better. There is definitely progress.”

look good for the 2017 and 2018 audits to be completed soon as well.

Another thing Harpe noted was the city only having about 21 days of operating expenses in the 2016 audit. “$1.2 million is low,” he said. “What we normally want to see is about 90 days of operating expenses in reserve.”

The reason is so that when things come up the city has the necessary funds to take care of emergencies until permanent funding can be found.

Harpe also noted fiscal year 2016 saw losses in the water and sewer department. He said it

“There are people that you see every single day, and you don’t know that they go home and drink three bottles of wine. It can affect anybody.”

Quote

Our View

Take time for moments

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.”

— Aristotle

ith the holidays fast approaching, we want to encourage to take time to create memories with those around us.

How many of us remember making Rice Krispie treats with our grandmothers?

How many of us remember gathering firewood with our grandfathers?

How many of us remember bowling with family members during a holiday?

It could be as simple as sitting around a table and sharing stories and catching up too. It could be playing games like cards or Monopoly. While you are at it, include the little ones too. Some the best memories children have are of them recounting stories told around the dinner table.

Also remember to let the children have fun too. Let them play with cousins tossing a ball creating their own Iron Bowl in the backyard.

We all know most families are split when it comes to Alabama and Auburn so why not? Just remember to keep things clean and fun.

Just a few simple things can create memories for a lifetime.

There is no need for Facebook or other social media. At the next gathering, sit around and share the stories for those who were unable to make it.

While you are at it take some photographs and print them out. Do you know where the photographs of your children’s Christmas from two years ago are? Are they still on your cell phone? Or are they low quality ones you uploaded to Facebook?

Grandma may not have Facebook or care to sign up.

Here again another easy moment is pulling out those photo albums for everyone to recall what happened in years past.

To make this happen, set aside small differences. Do they really matter? Doing so will create a much better holiday everyone will be talking about for years for the right reasons.

“It is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as fee men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God.” —1 Peter 2:15-16

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: Have you started Christmas shopping yet?

T

Kay Ivey, our 55th governor

he legendary Alabama storyteller Kathryn Tucker Windham, used to say, “Alabama is like a big front porch.” She was right, I have found that to be the case my entire life. Even recently, as I’ve traversed the state, I am always amazed at how you can visit with someone in one part of the state who is kin to or were college roommates with someone in another corner of Alabama.

The Alabama that Kay Ivey and I grew up in was even more like a front porch.

Ivey grew up in Wilcox County where her family had been for generations.

Therefore, she knew most everybody in the county and Camden. There were and still are less than 12,000 people in Wilcox County. There have always been more pine trees than people in the county.

She grew up with and has always been best friends with a trio of very accomplished people. As I sometimes say when I see someone who I’ve known all my life, I’ve never not known them. Ivey has never not known Jeff Sessions, Jo Bonner, and Judy Bonner. She was like a big sister to them growing up in Camden.

It’s truly amazing that a small South Alabama county just north of Mobile would spawn our U.S. Senator for 20 years, Jeff Sessions, Mobile Congressman Jo Bonner who served Mobile, Baldwin and southwest Alabama for more than a decade, and former University of Alabama President Judy Bonner, and now a Governor of Alabama, Kay Ivey. Even more amazing is that they grew up together and are contemporaries.

They all have impeccable

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

southern manners and are all quick to say yes m’am, no m’am and thank you religiously. Some of you might think that Ivey’s Black Belt accent is accentuated.

It is real and unique and indicative of someone who has roots in that area of the state. You might notice that Sessions’ diction and accent is similar.

The most important thing that can be said about Ivey, Sessions, Jo Bonner and Judy Bonner is that you have never ever heard one comment or even one inkling of anything unethical or improper or taint of scandal about their public or personal lives. Folks, they were brought up right in Wilcox County.

Ivey was born to be a leader. She was president of everything in her high school. She went to Girl’s State and was a leader there.

By the way, she continues to go back to Girl’s State every year to counsel and help lead the organization.

She spent a short stint as a teacher, then banker in Mobile. Then politics beckoned and another Black Belt Speaker of the House Joe McCorquodale, made Ivey the reading clerk in the House of Representatives.

She parlayed that job into a job as legislative liaison for the Alabama Commission on Higher Education. I really got to know Ivey at this point. I was a legislator with a major university in my district. She was plain spoken, straight

forward, and very honest.

Ivey has always been known for her integrity and upfront frankness and honesty. To use an old saying, her word is her bond. She will not lie and she will not cheat or steal. She was raised right.

Ivey then got into the arena. She was elected state treasurer twice where she served for eight years. Then she was elected lt. governor twice. She ascended to governor 20 months ago and has done an excellent job of steadying the ‘Ship of State.’

She seems keenly interested and driven by economic and industrial development. That will be her hallmark legacy.

The state is poised to grow economically and industrially over the next four years.

In the closing days of her very successful race to be Alabama’s 55th Governor, she revealed in an ad a letter from her days as a young girl visiting Governor Lurleen Wallace in the governor’s Office, a letter she had written about the governor’s desk. “This is the closest I’ll get.” However, deep down, I believe she dreamed that one day she would sit in that chair and now she does.

Ivey is the second female elected Governor of Alabama. However, she is the first elected Republican female and the only female elected in her own right.

She will be a good governor. Probably the best we have had in a while.

See you next week.

The Outlook

Outlook columnist, Fuller, honored with ‘40 Over 40’ award Cornbread and Collards

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The list includes Alabama football coach Nick Saban, country music star Sarah Evans and Outlook columnist Jody Fuller.

The list is Alabama Magazine’s 40 over 40. It highlights men and women from across Alabama who have succeeded in many different avenues.

“It’s an honor to be recognized by such a prestigious publication as Alabama Magazine,” Fuller said. “I’ve performed in more than 50 cities and towns across Alabama and always meet incredible people wherever I go, so to be among this list of 40 fellow Alabamians is beyond my wildest dreams.”

Fuller travels as a comic and motivational speaker talking to anything from military groups to chambers of commerce to teacher institutes.

Others on the list include Lt. Gen. Anthony Cotton, who is stationed at Maxwell Air Force Base, and advertising guru Tom Luckie.

The Auburn fan Fuller joked in his weekly column about not having enough applicants for the list.

“For me to have been chosen, they likely only had about thirty some-odd submissions, but the list was quite impressive,” Fuller wrote in last week’s column. “Nick Saban even made it.”

Fuller is an Opelika native but lives on family property in Eagle Creek.

Fuller was surprised to named to the list.

“When you see the caliber of the people on the list, it is jaw-dropping,” Fuller said. “It’s truly an honor. I love my state.”

M

ama lives just a couple of miles up the road from us, right across the road from my late grandparents’ vacant home.

She invited us up for supper the other night. It was country cooking at its finest. We had pork chops, sweet potatoes, peas and cornbread. There were also collards – a whole bunch of collards fresh from the garden.

My grandmother always made turnip greens, but I was so picky that I wouldn’t eat them. I assume she made collards too, but apparently didn’t care for them. I would, however, eat the pot liquor from whatever kind of greens she made with my cornbread. That’s country.

JODY FULLER Columnist

I’d never had collards until a couple of years ago.

I just never was too keen on greens.

For the first 41 years of my life, I didn’t eat anything green other than lima beans and cucumbers.

Somewhere along the way I tried asparagus and quickly developed a liking for them. Now, I eat pretty much everything green and pretty much everything period, regardless of color.

It’s pretty silly not liking something due to its hue.

I didn’t know if the girls would like them. Well, I knew Emily wouldn’t.

She’s pickier than I ever was. I’ll never understand why some kids cut the crust off their bread. It irks me just a bit, but I’m sure I irked a few with my pickiness too. When I was a kid at family gatherings, I raked many a plate into many a houseplant.

Lucy had only eaten collards a handful of times.

She liked some of the ones out of a can, but the freshly made ones she’d had were mighty bitter, so she didn’t care for them. I let mama know that they may not like them. I was right about Emily, but Lucy got two helpings. They were really good.

So far, Abigail likes everything. She loves cornbread and peas but is always looking to try new

stuff. This week alone, she’s eaten a coffee bean, a penny, and half a stink bug.

We had applesauce in the diaper bag, so if nothing else, she was going full Peter Brady with “pork chops and applesauce.”

She started off eating just fine. She tore everything up, until I gave her a wet green leaf. She stuck it in her mouth but quickly pulled it back out.

I was holding her in my lap, so she just held it up right next to my mouth.

It looked as if she was saying, “I’m not eating this. You eat it!” We laughed it off and several seconds later she was playing on the living room floor.

A few minutes later she had finagled her way into mawmaw’s lap. Mama still had cornbread and collards on her plate and Abby

wanted some. She started eating and wouldn’t stop.

This includes the collards.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that most babies don’t eat collards. I was so proud of her. She’s definitely a country girl.

Bring on the pot liquor.

We had a great night with the family. That’s what life is all about. We are truly blessed.

And just in case anyone is wondering, she spit the penny out. Apparently, she wants to save it for her peas on New Year’s Day. Jody Fuller is from Opelika, Ala. He is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer. He can be reached at jody@ jodyfuller.com.

Plenty of reason to celebrate, elections, birthdays, Veterans Day

T

he forecasters were right on the money with the 100 percent rain for all-night Sunday.

It was a drencher even into mid-morning for Nixburg – a good drink and cleansing for growing things.

What a relief the elections are now over.

Happy to have another super sheriff, even though I’m sad to see Terry Wilson leave. He was the best for many years.

Remember the show at EPAC in Equality is this Friday evening. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the show starts at 7 p.m. Piano virtuoso Peggy Glenn Shores will provide tantalizing keyboard work for you featuring the style of the St. Louis Blues.

Ron and I had a very good week, you know one of those that things seem to go well instead of

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist

many mishaps. While Ron voted, I went along to see how it works inside. You may recall I am a British citizen, making home here for almost 40 years, but not allowed to vote yet.

The ladies and Mr. Sammy Leonard in the Methodist Church in Fellowship Hall keeping it orderly, were so nice.

A warm welcome and help when needed.

Unfortunately, some didn’t get the postcard stating that the voting place had moved from the old firehouse to the church for voting for the elections in June and some votes were lost.

It was a pretty day, so after voting, we drove down Highway 9, stopping

to ask a homeowner about the builder of her goodlooking carport as it was perfect for our needs. Ms. Debbie was responsive and took my number. The next day Darryl Haynes the contractor called. We talked, agreed on the price and work began the next morning. Darryl Haynes and his great helper were everything you expect in good workers doing what was agreed, with exceptional work ethics.

We were just thrilled with the finished carport, and will be getting them back for more work as we save the money. When Ron was working lakefront residential appraisals for over 32 years, many often asked for a referral to a builder. Ron was reluctant, as we had an electrician putting newspaper behind the fuse-box for a rattle in our all-wood home.

Those doing the sheetrock, begged for the painting job.

Then threatened us when

we asked for the paint to be cleaned from windows and other jobs not done well or finished properly.

We just got the windscreen replaced for the Infinit G35 last Thursday. It was damaged in a severe storm late in September. Now the car has a protected place in the new great-looking carport to keep safe.

Happy birthday to Deborah DuPriest of Kellyton Nov. 20. Big congratulations to Herb and Irma Traylor of Equality. Their 59th anniversary is Nov. 21.

“Stir-up Sunday” for Christmas puddings in England is Nov. 18th.

Britain also celebrates for the veterans as we do and to honor that, my second-cousin Fleur Heyburn posted on Facebook, a letter written by my Grandfather Albert de Broise in 1915 to his Mother Felicia Dietz staying at Raffles Hotel in

Singapore. Grandad was a Grenadier. They were sent to the trenches first and he said he got German bullets and shrapnel to hit his tin hat which was his saving grace. Albert was a brave man, but told his mother he was scared, getting bombarded by bullets on the front-lines.

His letter was printed in the Singapore newspaper of the time. I am so proud of all my family.

Hope you give good thoughts to the veterans in your family and what they give up all over the world for peace and safety of all good people.

I am filled with thoughts of good Thanksgiving food and really looking forward to this special celebration.

It’s a true celebration of ‘Thanks’ with no gifts, just gatherings of loved ones around the country and it will soon be here.

Until next week, keep smiling.

Rosie

I wish that you watch as they walk us back to the back room that we will never come out of. I wish that you look into our eyes and tell us that you think our death is worth the profit you make from selling us. But what I wish for most of all is for you to STOP breeding.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Touch base with a friend before you get too distracted by whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. You are likely to enjoy your exchanges with this person, and you also could receive some helpful information. You might want to ask questions about what is happening.

Tonight: Make some time for fun.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Look beyond the obvious and consider alternatives. Reach out to several people in your life who could be sources of great ideas.

A loved one expresses his or her concern over Ă&#x201E;nances, and wants to know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on track. Tonight: Certainly not alone, no matter what you decide.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone who might be mentally distant or closed oÉ&#x2C6;.

Once you get this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention, you can explore certain options. You might be amazed by how clearly this person can explain your situation and its possibilities. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to a new opportunity.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to someone you genuinely care about. The way you see a personal matter could change dramatically after a serious conversation. Emphasize eÉ&#x2C6;ectiveness and precision. You will like the results of heading down a new path. Tonight: Relax to a good movie.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You can choose to be lazy and do nothing, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like. In fact, the less you do today, the better. Have a long-overdue discussion, but only if the other party makes the Ă&#x201E;rst move to initiate it. Others are likely to honor your ideas. Tonight: Sort through all the possibilities Ă&#x201E;rst.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Get to the bottom of a problem.

Discussions are animated. Each person seems to want to make his or her points dramatic and memorable.

Getting through this charade could take talent. Just be present and listen carefully to what is shared. Tonight: Soak away stress in a hot tub.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

When facing a jumbled mess, you approach the problem from a position of sensitivity and no judgment.

Maintain a sense of humor. People often conĂ&#x201E;de in you and share their secrets with you. Listen well, but be sure to keep these matters hush-hush. Tonight: Time for fun and games.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You can push as hard as you want, but the other party still might not move away from his or her position.

In fact, you might cause this person to take a more formidable stand than he or she normally would. A discussion needs to occur in an easy, relaxed manner. Tonight: Head home.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Reach out to someone whose advice you trust. This person is in a similar situation and can easily identify with you. Talks between you will reveal quite a few commonalities. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall for the ploy of someone you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust. Others tend to agree with you.

Tonight: At a favorite spot.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might want to review your budget before you make any more commitments, whether for the holidays or for necessity. At this time of the year, you might be more prone to Ă&#x201E;nancial errors. Only you can determine the validity of someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oÉ&#x2C6;er. Tonight: As you like it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might notice that everyone seems to be reaching out to you, and somehow, even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not involved, you could become the center of quite a few projects! Think before you say too much or give your opinions too easily. Tonight: Do something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve postponed for a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) If you feel somewhat under the weather, slow down and take care of yourself. Something might be bothering you that needs to be dealt with. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always absorb hostility and say nothing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you say what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking that makes the diÉ&#x2C6;erence. Tonight: Out late.

Lankford

continued from page 1

System to be the next head of the Alexander City School System. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an honor and a privilege for the board to select me,â&#x20AC;? Lankford said by phone shortly after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe Dr. Jenkins (Dr. Terry Jenkins with the Alabama Association of School Boards) said there were around 69 candidates who applied, so to be in the top five, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real honor.â&#x20AC;?

One thing that really won Lankford over when he came for his visit was the people of Alexander City. Prior to his official visit, he said he came up and walked around Walmart.

Tree Service

Without telling anyone who he was or what he was doing, Lankford said everyone was polite to him and represented Alexander City so well, a politeness he said was reinforced when touring the schools and getting to interact with students and teachers.

Following a period of discussion on what the board members liked and disliked about each candidate, the floor was open for nominations to select candidates to be voted on. Board members nominated Lankford and Dr. Beverly Price, currently director of secondary education

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

Is it basketball season for the Tigers yet?

T

he Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Auburn Tigers 27-10 in Athens, Georgia, on Saturday night to bring Gus Malzahn’s record against the Bulldogs (as offensive coordinator and head coach of Auburn) to 0-6 in games not played in Jordan Hare Stadium.

The outcome was déjà vu all over again with the Tigers unable to muster any offense after the first quarter. In the six straight losses, Auburn has not scored an offensive touchdown after the first quarter in any of those games. One might figure an offense would get lucky and accidentally score a touchdown in the 18 possible quarters not labeled first, but they would be wrong.

I’ve lamented for years Malzahn and his staff have trouble making in-game adjustments, but this has gone from disappointing to absurd.

To be perfectly honest, I didn’t go into the game believing Auburn had a great chance to win, and yet I somehow came away more frustrated and disillusioned than ever.

It’s painfully obvious Chip Lindsey’s addition to the offense has not worked out for either party.

He arrived on campus with a great reputation as a quarterback coach, yet Jarrett Stidham has clearly regressed. He was trumpeted as bringing in a more “sophisticated” passing attack, but from what I’ve seen this season the playbook might as well be written in crayon.

Some believe, and with good reason, Lindsay has been handcuffed

by Malzahn. I’m not at practice, in team meetings or on the headset during games, so I cannot say with any validation either way. However, I do know AU’s offense looks nothing like the Southern Miss offense where Lindsay was also a coordinator. The Tigers are now ranked No. 98 in total offense (366.9), No. 86 in rushing offense (149.9) and No. 87 in scoring offense (26.5).

Of course, as bad as the offense has been, I’ve actually been more disappointed in the defense. We knew there could be growing pains on the offensive line and the running backs were unproven. Granted, I thought Auburn would overcome those issues, but at least the failures weren’t totally unexpected. The defense came into the season regarded as one of the best in the country.

The front seven was lauded for its NFL talent and assured dominance. One of the most basic and fundamental tenets of a great defense is stopping the run. It’s almost impossible to completely shut down a passing offense with some of the great quarterbacks and spread offenses in today’s college football.

However, stopping the run is still all about being fast, physical, mean and nasty. I thought that accurately described the Tigers D-line and linebackers. Apparently, I was wrong.

After giving up over 300 yards rushing for the second time this year, the AU defense is now No. 53 against the run, giving up an average of 151 yards per game. That is nowhere near elite.

The Iron Bowl isn’t going to be much fun this year and a rinky-dink bowl game doesn’t exactly move the needle, so bring on basketball season. Bruce Pearl and his No. 9 Tigers are off to a tremendous start.

They travel to Hawaii next week to participate in one of the most prestigious early-season tournaments in NCAA basketball, the Maui Invitational. Auburn has a really good team, but this will truly show if they’re ready to play with the big boys.

To quote Coach O… Go Tigers!

WILDCATS WIN AGAIN BRHS earns second straight tourney victory STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

For the second time in its history and the second time in a row, Benjamin Russell’s fishing team reigned supreme at a tournament. The Wildcats took the win at Lake Jordan on Saturday, edging out Oakman by less than 10 points.

Benjamin Russell’s best team was Slade Davis and Mary Beth Coker, who took third out of 63 total boats. The duo weighed in five fish totaling 9.77 pounds.

Following closely behind was Wilson Hays and Hampton Meadows, who caught 8.41 pounds, good enough for fifth place.

Also placing in the top 10 for the Wildcats were Garrett Jones and Jackson McMichen, who bagged 7.53 pounds.

It wasn’t a great day on the lake, as just 34 of the 63 boats caught fish, but five BRHS teams were good enough to weigh in. Brandon Huff and Harrison Meadows caught 3.7 pounds worth of fish for 14th place, and Denver Benton and Will Coats squeezed into the top 20 with 2.13 pounds.

Also weighing in for the Wildcats were Camden Adair and Jackson Kelly, who took 30th with 1.16 pounds.

Lance Cunigan concludes with top-10 finish STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Benjamin Russell runner Lance Cunigan finished out his high school cross country career with a sixth-place finish at the AHSAA Class 6A state championships this weekend.

He clocked in at 16:28.14, which was just five seconds out of the top five and only a second ahead of seventh-place finish Adam Keller.

At state, Cunigan was joined by teammates Layton Bradford and Ashley Walker. Bradford clocked in at 17:34.41, which was good enough for 38th place out of 232 runners, and on the girls side, Walker ran the 5K course in 23:11.73. She placed 96th out of 211 competitors.

In Class 3A, Dadeville had a pair of top-70 finishes. As just a sophomore, Caleb Bice clocked in at 19:16.38 to take 62nd place, and Jordan Ford, only a freshman, placed 66th with a time of 19:22.92. There were 169 total runners in Class 3A boys.

Horseshoe Bend’s girls team, which qualified for state as a team in just its second year of existence, had four girls finish within seven places of each other.

Katie Rasbury was the top runner for the Generals, finishing in 28:36.52 for

122nd place, and Stacy Peters followed closely behind in 124th place with a time of 28:44.26.

Brityn Spence and Rebecca Rasbury placed 128th and 129th, respectively.

Spence ran the course in 29:06.67, while Rasbury clocked in at 29:16.64 in Class 1A/2A. On the boys side, Jarrett Bice qualified as an individual for the Generals, and he ran the course in 20:48.21, which was good enough for 103rd place out of 162 runners.

YOUTH SPORTS Generals advance to championship

With a 19-0 victory on Saturday, the Horseshoe Bend 5-, 6- and 7-yearold football team is on its way to the championship. The Generals blanked Randolph County in the semifinal.

Hayden King led the way for the Generals with a pair of rushing touchdowns, while Camden Trapp also scored once. Horseshoe Bend’s defense was unstoppable, allowing just three first downs all game.

The Generals will travel to Roanoke on Saturday to face off against Clay Central for the title game.

Overcome McGouyrk understands well addiction can begin with just one just prescription and quickly snowballs into a life-altering affliction because that is exactly what happened to her.

“I was on 12 different prescription meds from one doctor. I had a surgery that went wrong. That was five years ago. Then I started having seizures and fell and hurt my knee and had to have surgery on it,” she said.

“I was prescribed seizure medicines, pain pills, benzos, all types of pills. I was like a zombie.”

McGouyrk says after continuous use, a strong tolerance to the drugs is formed and that is when addiction can take a deadly turn for the worst.

“After it stops working, so many people overdose because they don’t know when to stop. They take one pill and get that buzz, later on, it takes two and before you know it, it’s three and four pills at a time. By that

continued from page 1

time, you’re done.”

It was a series of tragic events in McGouyrk’s life that led her to seek relief from more than physical pain, in the form of a pill.

“My mother-in-law became very ill and I had to go take care of her. She passed. I lost a granddaughter — a baby, 5 months old. It was just a huge struggle. Everything hit at once.”

McGouyrk says opioid addicts are often prescribed powerful narcotics to treat the substance abuse.

“They asked me if I wanted Suboxone and I said no,” she said. “You can get addicted to it just as quick as pain pills.”

Suboxone is a prescription medication that combines buprenorphine and naloxone.

It’s used to treat opioid addiction, however, it too is considered to be high risk for addiction and dependence.

“I think the doctors should be more aware of abuse,” she said. “But I think it’s all

about making a dollar.”

Methadone is another narcotic that is used to treat pain as well addiction but it, too, can be highly abused.

“They have methadone clinics where you can go for 17 dollars a day and get a dose of methadone, and people are in line up there like it’s a candy store,” McGouyrk said. “About $17 a day. That’s not that hard to get.”

Sometimes “making a dollar” can lead the most unsuspecting individuals to sell their prescription pills for a profit.

“Sometimes elderly people have to sell their pills to make ends meet, but then you have those pills out there on the street,” McGouyrk said. “It’s sad, and I don’t know what can be done about it.”

For McGouyrk, the decision to stop using came when she became self-aware of her substance abuse.

“The hardest thing to do is say you have a problem

because it’s embarrassing,” she said.

McGouyrk moved into the local recovery facility in 2016 and since that time she has not only turned her own life around, she now helps other women who come into the house find their own path to success.

“I’ve been here for over two years and I have heard a lot of testimony,” she said.

“These girls are like my kids.”

God’s Congregation Holiness Church’s Bishop Adolphus Gauntt opened the doors to the House of Love and Mercy in 2000 and during those years the program has helped free countless women from addiction, domestic violence and other life threatening situations.

“You’re talking in the hundreds,” Gauntt said. “One girl came all the way from Minnesota. Most people hear about us through word of mouth. My wife, Nina, operates a Facebook page

where a lot of people have reached out to us.”

Like most recovery programs, the HOLM began as a 28-day program but quickly adjusted to better suit each individual’s treatment.

“It started off with a 28-day program,” Gauntt said. “But after we got into it, we realized that wasn’t always long enough. Some girls stay here a year or longer — as long as it takes.

“This is about reestablishment and this is a place for the transition.

We get them back on their feet, back to functioning in society.”

The HOLM is a 10-bed recovery facility and every woman who is currently at the facility has a past story of substance or physical abuse to tell, but with the help of Gauntt, their loving housemother McGouryrk, and the support of the community, they will leave with a fresh outlook on a positive life ahead.
