Council awards proclamations during meeting

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Dadeville City Council took time to recognize several people involved with the recent Dadeville Fall Festival and second annual Ducky Ward Memorial Soap Box Derby and Car Show during its meeting Tuesday night.

Mayor Wayne Smith awarded a pair of proclamations during the meeting, one to derby organizer Marrell Ward, who started the derby in memory of his son while also giving local children and their parents something fun and enjoyable to work on together, while the other proclamation was given to the Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce for its hard work in making this year’s fall festival such a success.

“Every once in a while, we get to recognize the good things and get to do something fun,” Smith said.

Commission clears air on New Site gym

Siblings square off in final of soap box derby

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Members of the Tallapoosa County Commission believe the New Site council has not been fully informed of the expectations of requirements for permits for the renovation project of the New Site gym.

Based on conversations with New Site council members, county officials believe the council now has the proper information more than a year after the town started to renovate the building. Permits for work require reports form engineers on structural, electrical and if needed mechanical reports, along with a plumbing diagram and life safety measures.

T

he championship race of the second annual Ducky Ward Memorial Soapbox Derby came down to familiar faces.

The opponents have been rivals their entire lives living not next door but in the same house.

Chariot Ward, 10, of Dadeville was the defending champion and brought her pink car with bicycle-like tires from last year back to the hill.

Chariot’s brother Adam, 12, brought a new car from a kit with narrow tires. His kit was something similar to what is seen on the hill in races every summer at the national championships in Akron, Ohio.

Pfitzner speaks to Kiwanis Club, feels city is moving in right direction

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Kurt Pfitzner with the Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce was the special guest speaker at last Thursday’s meeting of the Dadeville Kiwanis Club, explaining how he feels everyone has been working together to make Dadeville a place, in Pfitzner’s own words, “people want to go to, not drive through.”

“Our mission is to help the community grow,” Pfitzner said. “We moved the (city) festival downtown, and people have been coming out.”

Above: Cars leave the ramp. Below left: Adam Ward, 12, of Dadeville applies the brakes to his car followed by his sister Chariot, 11, after crossing the finishing line. Below right: Cars cross the finish line.

Derby “I helped put it together,” Adam said.

The pair had a few races against each other before the championship round and Chariot was hopeful of a win, but saw her brother had a faster car.

“If I couldn’t win it, I am happy for him to have won it,” she said.

Adam explained his sister almost repeated her championship.

“I about lost it,” Adam said. “I was looking at my sister Chariot in the race instead of looking down the hill. But it was all good. I beat my sister, she beat me last time.”

Organizer Marrell Ward started the derby in Dadeville last year to give children something fun to do with adults and to honor the memory of his son Ducky Ward.

The event was moved to be on the same day as the Dadeville Fall Festival and to a different location

“It went good... We could have gotten the cars back up faster, but I believe everyone had fun.”

—Marrell Ward to allow people to go back and forth between the festival and the derby. Ward thought things went OK for being in a new location, one with shade and saw ways to improve it for next year.

“It went good,” Ward said. “It could have been better. We could

have gotten the cars back up faster, but I believe everyone had fun.”

Ward may have thought the adults could have done better at organizing a few things but he was very pleased with the kid drivers in the races.

“Y’all did an excellent job today,” Ward said. “We all had fun.”

Adam and Chariot left the competition between them on the hill, but would have been happy if either left with the trophy.

“It was sibling rivalry today,” their grandmother Donna McGinty said. “They both pulled for each other. If one of them couldn’t get, they would be happy for the other to get. “(Chariot) said she knew he was going to win it,” McGinty said.

Chariot chimed in, “It ain’t no big deal.”

We have to help the environment Our Mission Soapbox derby a

OurView

great addition to area festivities

D

adeville celebrated its annual fall festival this past weekend, drawing visitors to downtown with plenty of activities and vendors to hold everyone’s interest.

This year, the second annual Ducky Ward Memorial Soap Box Derby and Car Show was held in conjunction with the fall festival.

The derby was moved from last year’s location on Columbus Street next to the Dadeville High School football stadium to Columbus Street near the Dadeville Post Office to better tie the derby and the fall festival together.

The new course had racers zooming down the hill, while a brand new launch ramp ensured racers were being released at the same time. The championship race saw Chariot Ward, last year’s champion and Ducky Ward’s niece, going up against her brother Adam, who claimed the title.

Overall, everyone involved had a fun and enjoyable time Saturday.

Children got the chance to speed down Columbus Street in vehicles they may have helped make, while parents and others in the community were able to enjoy watching these children have fun and be competitive in a festive environment.

A great deal of credit for making all of this possible goes to Marrell Ward. It was his vision that made the Ducky Ward Memorial Soap Box Derby and Car Show a reality. He saw the potential a derby like this could have and worked tirelessly to see his thoughts come to life.

However, some credit must also go to the racers themselves for wanting to participate, parents for allowing their children to participate, and officials throughout the city of Dadeville for supporting Ward’s efforts. Without everyone coming together and seeing how great this event could be, it would not have taken off the way it has over the past two years.

Since the event began last year, the derby has grown and become that much better of an event.

However, with everyone working together like they have, there is virtually no limit to how great of an event the Ducky Ward Memorial Soap Box Derby and Car Show can become, making Dadeville the place to be during the weekend of its annual fall festival.

I

feel very strongly about the damage that is being done to the environment in this administration.

President Donald Trump signed a law allowing mining companies to release their mining waste into the waterways of the United States. Mining waste is very acidic which will cause all sorts of destruction to fish, plants,and aquatic creatures.

Is this all for money?

It seems so. Industries know better. They have to file for an NPDES permit (National Permit Discharge Elimination System) and have to sample their discharges for pH, which determines the acid or base in chemistry tests. Here in Alabama, the pH of an industrial discharge is between 6 and 8.5. Acids are below 7 (clean water is normally 7) and anything below 6 can stress and/or kill aquatic organisms. Why not get those miners jobs with clean energy? Is there a lot of money involved from the mining lobbyists?

Now, my next question is this: Why aren’t duck hunters and fishermen/women fighting this outrageous act?

Why aren’t the Republican senators stopping this?

Or are people ignorant of the happenings of the administration because of all the politics and anger from it all? Do people really think regulations are all that bad? Well, why don’t we just go back to the Cuyahoga River that caught fire or the air so polluted children

JUDY PALFREY Guest columnist

died from not being able to breathe? Why not go back to discharging all the carcinogens into the water so everyone can get cancer and then we will wonder again, why?

I think it is time to read Rachael Carson’s book “Silent Spring” again and have it be required reading in our science classes. Oh, that is right, like a science fiction book I read long ago, let’s not believe in science and get rid of all books/ internet items on science.

Look at what is happening folks — we are going back into the dark ages.

The Trump administration is allowing oil companies to drill near our National Parks. Presidents in the past had the foresight to see the benefit for all people to enjoy these parks and they sought to protect these parks for future generations. This protection covered animals, plants and other things that need protection from humans.

Why aren’t people stopping this abuse of our National Parks? Do you believe a bear stops at the park sign and says, “Oh, I cannot go any farther for food.” No, the reason these large tracts of land are protected is to help these animals migrate from one area to another. It

is their habitat and we have encroached on it. Now, place an oil well on a piece of property near or in the park.

Or fracking, oh my goodness, I don’t want to even think about that!

Animals have a stopping point when they have cannot survive if they keep populating. They have sense. Humans keep having children instead of adopting children that need adopting and, from what I gather, there are plenty of them out there. We have overpopulated Earth and now we are running out of natural resources.

Do people really think the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act are hurting us?

Maybe it hurts the bottom line of the industries that want to pollute, but when I was inspecting industries most told me they found it was cheaper to protect the environment, so what is the problem?

In conclusion, I went online and found some facts about our representative Mike Rogers. He has a zero on his rating for the environment. Mallory Hagan has a video out about her thoughts on the environment and I hope you all will look at it. It is time for change.

Let’s do this. Let’s vote for someone who cares about us – the people as well as creatures big and small!

How to prepare for Russia’s October surprise

R

ussia is in the business of mind control.

It’s not doing it through sinister headgear, satellite interference or dream invasion like in Inception, though.

Instead, Russia seeks to control the minds of Americans through something we all have and spend arguably too much time on: social media.

This isn’t news to many of us. For years we’ve heard how Russia infiltrated Facebook and Twitter in an effort to divide our nation during the 2016 election. It seems, however, that Russia’s interference in our last presidential election wasn’t a “one-and-done” deal.

Russia, reports suggest, is coming back for more.

In a recent press conference at the White House, intelligence officers remarked that Russia is engaged in a “24/7, 365-days-a-year” campaign to influence the 2018 elections through various means, but especially though social media.

Recent headlines confirm this reality.

Just this summer, Facebook announced it has shut down more than 30 fake accounts that had over 300,000 followers each. Unfortunately, however, this may only be the tip of the iceberg. According to experts, there is 25 to 30 times more fake information from automated political accounts than real interaction between people on their platform.

PARKER SNIDER Columnist With the 2018 midterms only weeks away, current intelligence suggests there will likely be an “October surprise” by the Russians in which they increase their misinformation campaigns to have the largest impact.

In a recent interview with NPR, Matt Bruen, a former staffer with the National Security Council within the White House, stated, “It is not a question, in my mind, of whether it’s going to happen. It is a question only of when and how large.”

Why, though, is Russia so intent on participating in our electoral process?

In the editor’s letter to a recent edition of The Week magazine, Mark Gimein–who was born in Russia and whose family found refuge in the states — argues Russia is driven by “the[ir] overarching ambition of undermining the moral standing of the U.S.” “What the Kremlin’s hackers most want to break into,” he continues, “isn’t voting machine software; it’s the democratic principles of tolerance and the peaceful transition of power.”

Russia’s goal is not the election of a specific person or party to power. Instead,

Russia wants to sow discord and anger in our ranks through misinformation. They hope to control how we think of our political opponents, with the goal we will ultimately become our own worst enemy.

Russia is in the business of mind control, but there’s good news: we can prepare. The best way to do that is not to eliminate social media from our lives, but to adopt a healthy level of skepticism towards political posts we see on those platforms.

Before sharing anything, we each ought to do some basic research and see if any other news organizations are corroborating it. If not, it’s best to wait to see if the story is picked up by reputable news sources. Those inflammatory news stories that are not mentioned anywhere else are likely fake.

The Russians are betting that we continue to believe everything we see on social media that lines up with our political views. They’re also hoping we share it to our friends, and that they share it to their friends. A little factchecking — even a simple Google search — could severely hamper their efforts.

We can win this battle, and I am confident we will. It may be a little less convenient, but it will ensure our democracy survives in the long run.

Commission ago,” Tallapoosa County building inspector Todd Flurry said. “I notified the mayor and told him the requirements.”

The New Site town council adopted the county and state building codes to be enforced by the county in 2007, but did not exclude municipal projects.

Work started anyway and subcontractors were told by town officials they did not need permits. Flurry and the state fire marshal toured the building and Flurry stopped the project last year.

Some in the community have questioned why the project was stopped and not allowed to continue.

Flurry explained since the building was classified as commercial with an A-3 classification, certain requirements have to be met in order for the county’s liability to be taken care of in order for up to 120 people to occupy the building.

“I am not in position to tell them what to fix,” Flurry said. “I need a report. They failed to provide that. I don’t think the city council was aware of all this until a week or so ago when I spoke to them.

They are now aware.”

The issue now lies with the New Site Town Council as to how they

continued from page A1

wish to proceed.

Commissioners wanted to make sure the public understood the issue was not with District 3 Commissioner John McKelvey and that Flurry was doing the job he was hired to do.

“I am concerned they are putting this off on John and it is not something he is doing,” commissioner Emma Jean Thweatt said.

“This has been going on for a year and a half?,” commissioner George Carleton asked.

“Yes,” Flurry responded “Is the building safe or not?,” Thweatt asked.

“I am not in a position to say,” Flurry said.

“You cannot buy lumber today like that. It has been there so long. It has been unoccupied for 20 years. A structural engineer is what I am looking for to walk through underneath, look at the foundation, the walls, the brick.

He may say this building is great. That is all I need and the county is not liable. We can’t pick and choose.

We have a church that we stopped. It is Assembly-1, but we still have to have the structural.”

Carleton was thankful Flurry looked out for the county despite stopping a project important to him – his church.

“You do like you are supposed to and you have my backing,” Carleton said. “Be fair to everyone.”

“My intention, my goal is to promote life safety in all construction of everything built new or renovated,” Flurry said.

Others commissioners were on the same page as Carleton on the job Flurry is doing.

“We have a standard to adhere to and that is for everybody to follow,” commissioner Steve Robinson said.

“I got complaints in the community wanting me to fire him because he won’t open the gym,” McKelvey said. “All he is doing is his job. If he is doing his job, I am going to back him from here to whenever.”

“Instead of them acknowledging a mistake was made on their end, they are trying to push it back on the county keeping them from doing it,” T.C. Coley said.

The commission has tried to help New Site with the project.

“We have bent over

backwards to help them,” McKelvey said.

“We furnished funds to help them with this project to make sure it would be something the community could use. I think it was something like $15,000 the commission has already given them. I just want them to comply with the rules we are enforcing for them.”

Robinson and Coley joined forces with County Administrator Blake Beck to form a committee for interviewing anticipated applicants for the tourism position the county created in the fiscal year 2019 budget.

Coley also informed the commission he had been in communication with the National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance Program about what help they could offer the county.

Help could include helping develop project and vision goals, mapping resources and identifying funding sources.

voted to accept a deed for ownership of the old DHR building. Beck asked the commission to think about what to do with the building.

Discussion centered on possibly selling the building, but setting a value for the facility may be difficult as there are no comparables in the area. No action was taken on what to do with the building.

Having Fun With Fall Foods!

Candy Apple Slices Candied Apples are a Fall must, but they are so messy. Follow these steps to make a much neater treat!

1. Take one apple and have an adult cut it up into slices. (An apple corer will work.) Clean any seeds that have remained in the middle.

2. Using a squeeze bottle of caramel or chocolate ice cream topping, pour some caramel onto each slice. Add sprinkles, nuts, or chocolate chips.

3. Place in freezer for 20 minutes to harden caramel.

4. (Optional) Take a popsicle stick and push it into the end of the apple slice.

Fall is a time when the leaves change colors; kids go back to school; and people begin to spend more time indoors due to the cooling weather. Many people enjoy this time in the kitchen cooking recipes for cooler weather with foods that are in season, like pumpkin, squash, and apples. A good recipe tells you what ingredients you need, what tools you will need to prepare and cook it, and how long each step should take. $OZD\V UHDG WKH HQWLUH UHFLSH ¿UVW WR make sure that you have all the necessary tools and ingredients before you begin. It is also absolutely necessary to always have an adult’s permission before using the kitchen. Ask an adult for any help that you may need when using kitchen tools, knives, and appliances.

chamber website to provide business leaders and others with better information and painting murals on buildings throughout downtown in cooperation with Raining Dogs Gallery and the Everything’s Art guild.

“We are getting this year’s Christmas parade lined up right now,” Pfitzner said.

“We used to be called the City of Lights.

We are trying to bring that back. Dadeville is going somewhere, and it’s forward.”

He also celebrated the fact Dadeville will be taking part in the Alabama bicentennial festivities, when part of a traveling historical series will be setting up in Dadeville City Hall early in 2019.

More plans for the future include Pfitzner saying he and his wife purchased the vacant lot on Columbus Street across from the Dadeville Post Office and want to turn the space into a park right in the downtown area.

“We have a conceptual design on it right now,” Pfitzner said.

Overall, Pfitzner said the city can continue to grow and thrive if everyone works together and does their part.

“It’s important we all become community activists,” he said. “I encourage all of you to support events and programs throughout town, no matter which organization is putting it on.

“It’s all about having a vision and keeping that vision.”

ANNUAL FALL FESTIVAL

Top: Guest take in the Dadeville Fall Festival. Left: Along with the festival and soap box derby, there was also a car show Saturday. Above: A mini train makes its way through down Tallassee Street for the Dadeville Fall Festival. There were plenty of vendors and activities for residents of all ages.

Council seriously and has helped immensely,” Ward said. “I joined with the Chamber of Commerce for the derby this year, and they have truly been a blessing.”

Residents Raphord Farrington and Jerry McGukin said the informational booth the city’s beautification committee had set up did well during the fall festival, with a lot of people stopping by to learn more about the committee and the invasive plants residents of Dadeville may

be dealing with in their own yards. Along with this, McGukin said he recently talked to representatives from Norfolk Southern about the rail spur near East Lafayette Street. The railroad representatives said they were aware of the issue and would be working on it following their efforts in helping with hurricane relief.

Along with the conversation about cleaning up parts of town, the street department said it was working on purchasing

a new limb truck to pick up branches throughout town.

“We don’t like spending taxpayers’ money, which is why we want to get the best possible value we can for the money,” Smith said.

Overall, Smith feels things are currently heading in the right direction in Dadeville.

“We are right around the halfway point of this term, and while we may not have accomplished everything we have wanted to do, we have come a

long way,” Smith said.

The Dadeville City Council also handled the following items: • Minutes from the Sept. 25 meeting were approved.

• Fire chief Anthony Wilkerson said the fire department will begin testing some of its fire plugs in the upcoming weeks. A motion was approved allowing the fire department to send out a press release regarding the testing.

• It was decided money received for the

city’s demolition projects would be put in the general fund, rather than the council approving a special bank account just for the money.

• Councilwoman Teneeshia GoodmanJohnson said the water department approved purchasing a pumper truck to help clean out the city’s sewer system.

• Councilman Dick Harrelson said work began on the city hall roof Tuesday morning, while the contractor involved said he would also be looking at the roof of the Dadeville Fire Department.

• Smith said work on the courthouse square project will be starting after January.

• It was announced a new wrought iron rainbow butterfly had been installed at Creation Plantation.

• Despite receiving a new price for the ad in the upcoming Dadeville Magazine, the council stuck with its initial decision to not purchase the ad.

• Councilman Roy

Mathis said the raise given to city employees was not a major one and asked if the matter could be reviewed in early 2019 to see about potentially adding more to the increase. Smith said the council would take that into consideration.

• Library director Abbi Mangarelli said September had been a slow month at the library, but with approximately 25,000 visits and 15,000 items checked out over the past year, it had been a fairly good year.

• The council approved allowing one librarian’s hours to be increased for a few weeks while another librarian is on temporary leave for family matters.

• Two recreation center requests were approved.

• A motion to pay the city’s bills passed.

The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council will be Tuesday, Oct. 23 at Dadeville City Hall. The pre-council meeting begins at 5:30 p.m., followed by the regular council meeting at 6 p.m.

MUST-WIN SITUATION File / The Record

Raising the Stanley Cup banner was a special moment

Dadeville’s Javuntae Holley had some success last week against Montgomery Academy, and Tiger coach Richard White is hoping that’ll carry over into this week.

I

know, I know. People around Tallapoosa County are tired of hearing about me talking about the Washington Capitals winning the Stanley Cup, or just me talking about hockey in general.

I can’t even count the amount of people who have said, “What is that?” in reference to my Stanley Cup champions hat.

That being said, I’m going to write about the Capitals winning the Stanley Cup again.

I’m honestly not sure what they do in other sports — mostly because none of the teams I root for in other sports have won a championship — but the Stanley Cup championship ceremony is something I can’t imagine being matched.

The trophy is one of a kind. The oldest existing trophy to be awarded to a pro sports team, its body is inscribed with all of the teams and people who have won it, and it’s the only trophy awarded in pro sports in this country that isn’t remade every year.

The winners each get to spend a day with the Cup: • I watched enthralled as Chandler Stephenson brought the Cup to Humboldt, Saskatchewan, which was the home of the Humboldt Broncos, whose team bus collided with a truck in April, killing 16 people.

• I tuned in amazed when Jay Beagle spent his day with the Cup at Alberta Children’s Hospital, allowing patients a photo with the trophy.

• I laughed at the photos of Alex Ovechkin spooning the Cup in the twin bed of his childhood apartment.

• I loved when the players took the Cup back to their homes, allowing their kids to eat cereal from the bowl or their dogs to pose inside it.

Then after a blissful summer with the most wonderful trophy in sports, the Stanley Cup is returned until the next team has a chance to hoist it. But just before the Cup is returned to where it is stored away until the next lucky group of guys, it is brought to the winners’ arena for one final hoorah.

Last Wednesday, the first-time defending Stanley Cup champions took the ice at Capital One Arena. Prior to the game, there was an unbelievable ceremony that sent chills down my spine.

A montage of hoisting the Cup and those summer moments I mentioned above was played with “We Are The Champions” by Queen blaring in the background.

Then the banner, the Stanley Cup champions banner I never thought I’d see hanging from our rafters, was raised. During the raising, Ovechkin, the Capitals captain, called over his team for a photo that’ll go down as one of my favorites of all time. The red-clad team got together, each one’s face with the fullest of smiles, to pose under that elusive banner.

After the ceremony, Ovechkin took the Cup, kissed it one more time and sent it off. The ceremony was even more emotional for me knowing my brother was taking my 3-year-old niece to her first hockey game, and she got to be a part of that once-in-a-lifetime banner raising.

One of the most amazing parts of winning the Stanley Cup was seeing each of those players’ names engraved. I held back a tear seeing Olie Kolzig’s name — yes, he was engraved as Olie rather than Olaf. I have been rooting for Kolzig since I was a child. He has and always will be my favorite Capital. I got a chance to meet him once and I told him when I was young I wanted to marry him; he asked me jokingly, “What about now?”

Kolzig, along with all those players and staff, as well as the fanbase I’ve been more a part of than any other, has worked so hard and waited so long, and finally, we got to spend the best summer of our lives with the best trophy in sports.

I tweeted about the banner raising, and a friend asked me if I cried. I replied simply.

“I’ve been crying since June.”

Dadeville looking at uphill journey to potential playoffs

D

espite Dadeville’s struggles on the football field this year, there’s still a chance the Tigers could advance to the playoffs. But it’s not going to be an easy journey to one of the top four spots in Class 3A Region 3.

“We discussed that (Monday),” Dadeville coach Richard White said. “If we win out, we have a shot. The positive is the guys are still showing up. I had them all here yesterday except one that’s hurt. In situations like this, it’s very easy for a kid to say he doesn’t want to do this

anymore.”

Dadeville is currently tied for fifth in the region with a 2-5 (1-3) record. St. James is 4-0 in the region; Pike Road and Beulah are both 3-1; and Bullock County is 2-2. The Tigers are tied with Prattville Christian.

But the road to winning out is going to be tough, as the Tigers still have Pike Road, Beulah and PCA on the docket. The good news, all of the Tigers’ remaining games are at home and their last-ditch shot at a playoff spot begins Friday night when Dadeville plays host to Pike Road.

The Patriots (5-2, 3-1) are new to varsity football this year and they got off to a fantastic start winning their first five games in program history. But they’ve hit a bit of a hiccup, falling in two straight games including a 28-0 defeat at the hands of region leader St. James.

“They’ve had two losses the last two weeks, so hopefully that’s gotten into their heads a little bit that they’re not as good as they think they are,” White said.

“Hopefully we can go out and play an A game for full four quarters and give them a run

for their money and see what happens.”

Running out of the spread, Pike Road relies heavily on quarterback Cedrick Paymon.

“Their quarterback is elusive,” White said. “He’s one of these dual-threat type guys. He runs it better than he throws it, but they play two or three different quarterbacks too.”

Paymon’s favorite target has been receiver Bryce Kelly.

The Patriots also boast good size on both the offensive and defensive lines.

“Their defensive front is See TIGERS • Page B2

They have a couple inside linebackers that can run pretty good too and their outside linebackers and secondary have good speed. We don’t have anybody that can outrun them.”

Like Pike Road, Dadeville has been relying on its defensive front to keep it in games, and although the Tigers aren’t giving up too many points a game, their offense has struggled, scoring more than 30 points just twice — both in their only victories.

Freshmen Christian Nelson and Javuntae Holley did have some success running the ball last week against Montgomery Academy, and White is hoping that’ll carry over into this week’s game. But because so many of the Tigers are young or newcomers to the game, inexperience continues to be the Achilles’ heel for Dadeville.

“The whole bottom line of this football team goes back to inexperience,” White said. “It’s like taking a bunch of ninth-graders and putting them in a varsity uniform and

going out and playing with juniors and seniors every Friday night, as far as experience is concerned. And strength too.

“These same guys that are inexperienced in football are the

same guys that have never been in a weight room until this summer. You can’t get it done in one summer. It’s a process of years and years of building muscle mass and those type of things.

It all goes hand in hand.”

due to low roster numbers, Central Coosa’s athleticism hasn’t translated into victories.

“Their record isn’t optimal for them, but they’ve got some pretty good athletes,” Johnson said. “There’s no doubt about that. Their quarterback is a good player and so is their running back. They have some good ballplayers who are very athletic and they’ve got some pretty good size at running back.”

The biggest struggle for the Cougars this year has been at the line of scrimmage and although Reeltown has had its troubles on the offensive line, its defensive front should easily overpower the Cougars, rendering it

almost impossible to get an already struggling offense moving.

Although Johnson certainly won’t let his Rebels get complacent, there is something reassuring for Reeltown to be playing a lessdemanding game after having the likes of LaFayette, Maplesville and Thorsby three weeks in a row.

“Three weeks in a row, we’ve played three huge games and all three have been extremely physical,” Johnson said. “I’m really proud of our guys from that standpoint. It’s hard to play one physical game for 48 minutes, but for three straight weeks, they’ve had to strap it on and play extremely physical.”

Due to some bumps and bruises, Reeltown had to move some players around, which is creating some depth for the Rebels. Keke Hughley not only had a big game offensively, but he was moved to outside linebacker and Johnson said he was impressed with Hughley’s ability to pick up the entirely new position.

“Rhasheed Wilson also had an unbelievable game,” Johnson said. “He was the cause of the interception with Jordan (Whitlow, which essentially iced the game) and there was a pass earlier in the game and he did the exact same thing.

He laid a big massive hit, and he did that multiple times Friday night. He’s been a great job guy, but he brought the pressure this

week.”

With just Central Coosa, Vincent and Ranburne left on the schedule, the Rebels are starting to pinpoint several areas that need improvement ahead of the postseason.

“We’ve gotta improve on our run game from a defensive standpoint,” Johnson said. “We’ve gotta get pressure on quarterbacks and we’re losing containment a little bit. We’ve gotta blitz a bit before from a linebacker standpoint. Offensively, we need to be more consistent from our offensive line and we’ve gotta be able to throw the ball a little bit better sometimes but a lot of that has to do with being consistent up front.”

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) One-on-one relating takes you down a colorful path. An authority Ă&#x201E;gure could surprise you with his or her attitude. If you cannot work within this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parameters, walk away. Relate directly to a loved one, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be pleased with the outcome. Tonight: All smiles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a stand, even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inclined to. Stay out of othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; whirlwinds and issues. You will know when to reconnect on a deeper level. Let those around you know that you have conĂ&#x201E;dence in them and in their choices through your actions.

Tonight: Accept an invitation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Focus your energy where it counts.

You will see a situation diÉ&#x2C6;erently once you have completed the necessary work to wrap up a project.

Share your perspective more openly at this point. You will get the respect you desire and need. Tonight: Put up your feet and relax.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Express your emotional creativity.

Others note how diÉ&#x2C6;erent your ideas are. Someone of interest might decide to come toward you in order to get to know you. You will Ă&#x201E;nd out what happens by being authentic.

Honor your integrity. Tonight: Time to let your hair down.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Understand what is happening around a domestic matter and a piece of property. Realize that your priorities might need revising. Do not Ă&#x201E;ght the inevitable; instead, Ă&#x2026;ow with it. Look to making changes at a later date. Tonight: Remain positive, and say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to a fun get-together.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.22) Reach out to someone you care about. This person seems to remain responsive no matter what you do!

Do not push or test your limits, as a reversal could be close to impossible to enact at the present point. Let others know how much their loyalty means to you. Tonight: Out late.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Act rather than speculate, except when dealing with money ventures.

The risk might not be worth it. You could be questioning how to best deal with a diÉ&#x2030;cult roommate or family member. This situation is not new, yet you might want to try a new approach. Tonight: Give 100 percent.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You want to get to the bottom of a problem. Others might be reluctant to give you more information, yet you will accept nothing less. Understand that someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priorities might inĂ&#x2026;uence which facts he or she chooses to relay. Share news.

Tonight: Think â&#x20AC;&#x153;weekend.â&#x20AC;?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Back out of a problem, or decide to be mum about it for now. You need to look at the issue at hand from several diÉ&#x2C6;erent perspectives before making a Ă&#x201E;nal judgment call. You will like what you see. Use the gift of time to your advantage. Tonight: Get some extra R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count on othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reactions to be what you want them to be.

You can count only on yourself and your own responses. Do not create a hassle where one doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist.

Examine your possibilities more openly. Detach from a heated situation. Tonight: Where your friends are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You carry additional responsibilities, but not because you want to. Much seems to fall on your plate because others know you will follow through.

Consider using the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? more often. Be willing to be slightly less responsible once in a while. Tonight: A must appearance.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Reach out to an expert to get feedback, rather than brainstorm with a friend who is more likely to agree with you. You will get more dynamic input and have an opportunity to see an option that might not be readily visible. Tonight: Make weekend plans with loved ones.

Smith receives Advanced Certified Municipal Official certification STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith was one of 21 public officials from across Alabama who received their Advanced Certified Municipal Official certification through the Alabama League of Municipalities Oct. 4.

Along with the 21 receiving their advanced certification on Oct. 4, an additional 42 officials earned their Certified Municipal Official rating, while 10 completed the Certified Municipal Official Emeritus rating requirements.

First offered to municipal officials in 1994, the Certified Municipal Official program is an ongoing project of the Alabama League of Municipalities in order to fulfill an education mandate contained in the Constitution of Alabama. Those in the Certified Municipal

Official program are required to complete 40 credit hours by attending training sessions held several times a year, participating in CMO webinars, attending designated sessions during the Alabama League of Municipalities annual convention and taking part in other events approved by the league and the National League of Cities.

The Advanced Certified Municipal Official program was created in 1998 and requires those who have earned their Certified Municipal Official certification and want to reach the next level to complete an additional 40 credit hours.

Now that Smith has his Advanced CMO certification, he is eligible to take part in the Certified Municipal Official Emeritus program.

Established in 2015, the CMO Emeritus program requires

Dadeville Fire Department holding annual hydrant maintenance STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

The Dadeville Fire Department will begin its annual fire hydrant maintenance and testing starting the week of Oct. 15. The department will be testing everything south of Highway 280 from West LaFayette

Street to the city limits on 280 east of Dadeville.

Citizens residing in the test area may experience a discoloration of their water due to minerals inside underground water lines being disturbed. If water discoloration is experienced, allowing water to run from any faucet for several minutes

should eliminate any discoloring of the water.

Fire hydrant testing is crucial to locating fire hydrants that are inoperable or in need of repair.

In addition, the fire department is required to do fire hydrant testing for the purposes of grading municipal water systems, which determines

municipal insurance ratings.

The Dadeville Fire Department apologizes for any inconvenience residents may have encounter during the testing period. Any questions or concerns should be directed to the Dadeville Fire Department at 256825-8534 or the Dadeville Water Department at 256-825-5004.

‘THE SKY IS THE LIMIT’

First Lyman Ward student takes solo flight Sunday morning

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

L

yman Ward Military Academy junior Jack Graham just got his driver’s license last month, but Sunday he was flying airplanes solo.

“He is a better pilot than he is a driver,” Jack’s father John Graham said Sunday as Jack exited a small plane at the T.C. Russell Airport in Alexander City.

“That was awesome,” Jack said after his solo flight. “It was great.”

Jack was up early Sunday morning wheeling the Piper Warrior out of the hangar while fog was still rising on the south end of the runaway. Before long, Jack was going through brake and engine checks with his instructor Eddiy Daly. Then it was off into the wild blue yonder for a little bit before Jack landed delivering Daly to watch Jack fly from the ground.

After three cycles of taking off and landing by himself Jack exited the plane only to be doused with water by Regina Brown.

“The reason for that is to wash away the surly bonds of earth,” Daly said. “You are now a pilot.”

Daly questioned Jack about the differences flying the plane solo.

“It was lighter,” Jack responded. “It took off faster.

It dawned on me, but I was not nervous (about flying solo). As long as I stuck to the numbers, I was good.”

Brown, who owns the flight school Lyman Ward has contracted with, said Jack did well.

“You squeaked them,” she said of Jack’s landing. “I thought it was Eddie in the plane with you.”

Jack’s mother Laura also made the journey from Mt. Laurel in Shelby County Sunday to see history.

With the first solo flight at Lyman Ward’s newly created aviation program, Jack gets a special call sign – ‘Ranger 01,’ but he is the first of what school officials hope to be

many.

“This is Ranger 01,” Lyman Ward director of aviation Jake Norotsky said. “02 and 03 are right behind him, and 04 should solo by Christmas.”

The students in the aviation program are special and requires extra work on the students’ part. The program even requires students to maintain a 90 or better average in all their classes.

“This requires them to drive off campus,” Norotsky said.

“They have different rules.

Even their meals are moved.

They eat bagged lunches or breakfasts at times.

Norotsky said this is when things get tough as he readies for more evaluations and the

FAA written test.

Lyman Ward dean of academics Mark Morgan says the aviation program created scheduling challenges but they were able to overcome them to become one of only a few schools to offer a flight program to high school students.

“It is a regular block in the schedule,” Morgan said. “We work the flying times around early morning and lunch so they can get out here. We rotate the schedule around so they are not missing the same class all the time. The cadets are on their own to get up. They are allowed to drive. They get up on their own early in the morning do their flights. Get

back and then go to class or they come to the office just before lunch and check out to come fly then check back in.”

Flying is in the blood of Jack Graham.

“My dad was a career army aviator,” Jack’s father John said. “26 years flying anything and everything the Army had.

He was a master senior aviator, a tour in Korea and two in Vietnam all in the air. He died before Jack was born.”

John presented his son the bomber jacket worn by his father many decades ago following his solo flight.

John believes the future has no limitations for Jack.

“He has so many opportunities with the

shortages that are there now,” John said. He is considering military aviation; going on to commercial, the sky is the limit. He still has to get through high school. Hopefully he will be able to go on to one those schools that offers continuing education and get his commercial. Ideally, he will come out of college with his commercial license and college degree.”

Jack looks forward to what the future holds.

“This has been an awesome experience so far,” the younger Graham said. “I am glad I had the privilege of soloing. I have been wanting to do this. I feel like I did well and look forward to moving on and flying more.”

Local schools get involved in breast cancer awareness

he color pink joins the traditional hues of fall in October and breast cancer awareness month. While some of the most visible displays supporting those battling breast cancer and research against the disease comes from sports teams wearing pink attire, a handful of area schools have gotten involved in showing their support.

Benjamin Russell High School counselor Christy Lashley said the school’s HOSA-Future Health Professionals were present at the breast cancer awareness brunch hosted by Russell Medical at The Mill Two Eighty on Oct. 4, helping set the event up and serving meals to those in attendance. At Dadeville High School, counselor Mona Howard said students were encouraged to wear pink Friday, Oct. 5 in support of breast cancer awareness. Howard also said there is one student who asked her if the school would allow for a bulletin board with breast cancer information to be put on display.

Out of all the schools who do something in recognition of breast cancer awareness month, arguably few do more than Horseshoe Bend. Every year for the past few years, the school’s FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) organization has hosted

HUMOR TRUMPS STRESS Kay Frances tickles crowd at Breast Cancer Awareness Brunch

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Be sure to always wear clean, nice underwear, in case the police arrive at the scene of an accident was just one of the good tips Kay Frances gave the crowd last Thursday at Russell Medical’s 15th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Brunch.

Frances, a motivational humorist and author, spoke at The Mill Two Eighty conveying her message about humor and being optimistic can help with stress.

One of her best stories was about Thomas Edison, who is credited with inventing the lightbulb.

“Think about all the great inventors,” Frances said. “They didn’t

say, ‘What’s the use? Why bother?’

That’s what a pessimist says. An optimist says, ‘Maybe. What if?

Let’s try.’

“Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors that ever lived, tried 6,000 different elements before he developed the lightbulb. Isn’t that crazy? Can you imagine actually trying and failing something 6,000 times? Can you imagine his friends around try 4,000? They’re like, “Dude, Tom, give it up; candles aren’t that bad.’

“And he’s like, “4,001 — give me that cat hair; 4,002…”

A pink ribbon was painted on the field at Charles E. Bailey Sportplex for Benjamin Russell’s game against Opelika on Friday.

Local sports teams support the cause

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Being a part of a high school sports team means you can be revered by your classmates and looked at as a role model.

So when a month like October rolls around, it’s that much more important for local sports teams to take part in Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Many volleyball teams around the area host Dig Pink nights or wear pink jerseys and bows. Benjamin Russell’s Dig Pink night is Oct. 18 against Handley and all the proceeds will be donated to either an organization or someone close to the volleyball family who has been affected by the disease.

In addition to BRHS’ Dig Pink night, the Wildcats also purchased special pink jerseys to wear throughout the month of October, and firstyear coach Magan Ford said she has a personal connection to the cause.

“For me personally, my mom is a fourth-generation breast cancer survivor, so this is near and dear to my heart,” Ford said. “If you just take a poll, everyone is either personally affected or knows someone close to them who has been affected by breast cancer. Anything you can do to not only raise awareness but also have a moment of praise for survivors, that’s really important.”

Ford is also an assistant for the softball team, which hosts a tournament in the spring to raise money for breast cancer. During the Wildcats’ tournament against Dadeville and Horseshoe Bend last year, each team

“When you hear the ‘C’ word, you begin to look at life differently. You appreciate things, the birds singing, the sun shining, all that good stuff. It is a shock.”

Local breast cancer survivor promotes yearly exams

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

reast cancer survivor Charlene Brown believes a yearly mammogram caught her cancer early and has become a proponent of the annual exam.

The yearly exam and her exercise regime may have saved Brown from more extreme treatment. The exams were something she had been doing since the early 1990s, but then came August 2005.

“I have always been adamant about getting screened for breast cancer yearly,” Brown said.

The exam showed something Brown couldn’t find through self-exams.

“Mine was not a lump,” Brown said.

“It was a calcification. I had three little calcifications. One had drifted away from the other two so that is when my doctor said we need to biopsy that one.”

The biopsy did not give Brown the

news she hoped for. “(The doctor) thought it would not be anything big,” Brown said. “When

my doctor called she told me, ‘I have some good news and some bad news.

If you got to have cancer you have the

good kind. It is not the invasive kind. It was caught early and we can treat it.’”

Brown got the news and location.

“It turned out to be ductile carcinoma incite,” Brown said. “It was inside the milk duct.”

Cancer got Brown to thinking about other things too.

“When you hear the ‘C’ word, you begin to look at life differently,” she said. “You appreciate things, the birds singing, the sun shining, all that good stuff. It is a shock.”

Brown was thinking extreme measures would be taken to remove the cancer.

“The first thing you think of when you are diagnosed is just take it off; get rid of it,” Brown said. “(The doctor) said, ‘Charlene, we are not going to do that, you would be setting yourself up for more surgery than you really need.’

So we decided to just do the lumpectomy.”

The treatment also called for radiation. It is something many struggle with See SURVIVOR • Page 7

Cancer center introduces new treatment method The UAB Medicine Russell Medical Cancer Center began treating breast cancer patients with a new method, respiratory gating technology, in August 2018. For patients with breast cancer on their left side, this method lessens the amount of radiation the heart is exposed to, decreasing the chances of cardiac side effects from the treatment, according to radiation oncologist Dr. Hunter Boggs. In preparation for treatment, monitors are attached to the patient, who is then asked to deeply inhale and hold that breath for 10-15 seconds. This makes sure the radiation target is in the right place every day and the heart is out of the way for treatment. For more information, check out the recent TPI Talk with Dr. Boggs published on The Outlook’s Facebook page, or look in the October issue of Lake Martin Living for an article from Dr. Boggs about the procedure.

theme, such as the 2017 show taking on a Halloween theme and this year’s show having a theme of “Under the Sea,” according to FCCLA adviser Felicia Williams. This year’s show will be held Friday, Oct. 26 at 2 p.m. at Horseshoe Bend School.

“We welcome breast cancer survivors from the community to come out and be in the fashion show alongside the students.

All they have to do is contact me at the school,” Williams said. “The money we raise from this year’s fashion show will be going to a local agency, Tallapoosa Caring Refuge, Inc.” Along with the fashion show, Williams said the school is also looking at bringing in a guest speaker to talk to the students about breast cancer at some point this month.

She did alter her work routine some.

“I continued to work after the lumpectomy,” Brown said. “My shampoo lady worked with me. It was on my right side. She would help hand me curlers and stuff.”

But Brown said other women she has talked to did not have the same success while trying to follow her method and routine.

“I have had women tell me if I could do it, they could do it,” Brown said. “One lady said she tried it for about two weeks and it just pulled her down.”

Brown does have an idea as to why she had an easy time with treatments.

“I never felt bad,” she said. “The Cliff Williams / Tallapoosa Publishers

with but Brown saw few side effects.

“I probably started the last of August and finished the first of October (with treatments),” Brown said. “Believe it or not, I drove myself to Birmingham every day for 27 days. In fact my doctor asked if I was driving myself. I said yeah. She asked if I was having any blurred vision and I said no. The first week the only difference is I couldn’t taste salt but that went away.”

The radiation did not change

Brown’s routine around Alexander City either.

“I never missed a day out of work, a Sunday out of church,” Brown said.

“I have a hair salon and work three and half days a week. On Monday and Tuesday, if I didn’t want to come home, I would stay and shop but I never had any money at the time. On the days of my treatment, I would come back to town and walk 3 to 5 miles.”

only thing (the doctor) could attribute it to was that I was in good shape. I do yoga. I have been walking for over 30 years. I do strength training. (The doctor) said that is the only thing I can figure out why it didn’t bother me.”

Whether or not one is in shape, Brown does have a message she likes to preach every time she can. “(Cancer) is not a fun thing to thing to go through,” she said. “I just want women to watch their selves and bodies. You have warning signs and signals. What I stress is for women to go get their yearly exam because the type I had would have never been found through self-exam. It took the mammogram.”

Frances said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I bet these survivors in here will tell us their sense of humor got them through it. And by

the way, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re survivors; I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heroes.â&#x20AC;?

Frances talked about everyday stresses, like driving in traffic or dealing with annoying coworkers, but also talked about more serious stressors. She told a story of when her mother was in hospice, and all her mother could do was roll her ankles. But one day, Frances walked into her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room to see her sitting up, rolling her ankles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This helps cement my philosophy

Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brunch, including around 30 survivors of breast cancer. Prior to Francesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; message, Dr. Mary Emily Sheffield gave an update to the crowd, citing the results of the TAILORx study being the biggest impact on breast cancer treatments this year.

Prior to the TAILORx study, earlystage patients were given a test called Oncotype DX, which came back with a risk score. Low-risk patients did not benefit from chemotherapy, while highrisk patients did. But the question was what about the large number of patients who fell within the intermediate-risk range.

According to Sheffield, the TAILORx study found for patients over the age of 50 who had intermediate-risk scores did not benefit from chemotherapy, while patients under 50, depending on their risk scores, could have a 3 to 6 percent benefit from taking chemotherapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us as oncologists, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to be able to tell patients with confidence that you do not need to take chemotherapy,â&#x20AC;? Sheffield said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we do the research that we do, so that we can give patients the treatment that they need and spare them treatments they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need.â&#x20AC;?

Sports pink wristbands, but Reeltown has an interesting way of not only bringing awareness but also raising money.

Rebel coach Matt Johnson said if any of his players want to wear pink on Friday nights, they must donate $10. All money raised is then donated to a person within the Reeltown community who is either going through treatments or affected by breast cancer.

“What I don’t like seeing is people wearing pink just to wear pink,”

Johnson said. “This holds them accountable and gives them a reason.

It gives them ownership of actually supporting the cause instead of just wearing pink because it looks cool.”

Like Reeltown, Benjamin Russell coach Kevin Smith said he doesn’t see the need to be covered in pink.

Instead, the Wildcats put a pink ribbon decal on their helmets and wear them for the remainder of the year.

“Like anything else, it’s just our way of showing awareness,” Smith

said. “We’re just trying to be a part of the whole month. You’re not going to see us go out there in pink socks because to me, that waters it down.

That’s not what it’s about anyway.”

Alexander City Parks and Recreation also did its part to show awareness, painting pink ribbons on two of the 25-yard lines at Charles E. Bailey Sportplex during Friday night’s game against Opelika. It was the Wildcats’ only home game during October.

Smith said this month wasn’t about wearing pink just to wear pink, but it was about something much more important than that.

“If nothing else, it’s for women to be aware that it’s a cancer — cancer is such a crazy thing; I hate that word,” Smith said. “It’s almost like prostate cancer in men, though. If you catch it early, it’s better. If you never think about it, you could find out too late. This month is something that saves a lot of lives, I would think.”
