Prepping for tree lighting Dadeville City Council approves support for holiday ceremony

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The city of Dadeville could see some festive decorations lighting up the downtown area this holiday season, thanks to the efforts of a local art gallery and the support of the Dadeville City Council.

Cheryl Haggerty from Everything’s Art presented the idea at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Dadeville City Council, wanting to bring back an old tradition of downtown having a cheerful holiday atmosphere with the storefronts full of decorations and lights. Everything’s Art would also partner with local volunteer groups to help out in decorating some of the vacant storefronts and stores that may not be able to do much. In addition, Haggerty said Everything’s Art would like to place a tree on the lawn of the county See COUNCIL • Page A3

Sen. Whatley discusses progress made in Senate

Replatting becoming issue for property sales in county

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Since taking his seat in the Alabama State Senate following the 2010 election, Alabama Sen. Tom Whatley feels a great deal of progress has been made with regards to education and the education budget, along with a number of other factors the state government has on its plate.

“The education budget is what drives our area,” Whatley said. “Since 2010, we have not had a prorated education budget. We have also given three raises to teachers over the past eight years.”

As a way to help with funding education,

Over the years fences have been built, storage buildings erected and new driveways constructed.

Adjoining property owners may have come to an agreement as to where property lines were, but without surveys, the projects may have been too close to property lines or in some cases built across property lines. The issue has started to come up at real estate closings and has officials with Tallapoosa County getting involved.

The Dadeville Record

Whatley

Page A3

continued from page A1

Whatley commended outgoing Rep. Mark Tuggle for standing up and supporting a bill to tax the Forever Wild initiative whenever Forever Wild purchases land. Under current legislation, whenever Forever Wild purchases land in the state, this land is permanently taken off the tax rolls.

This tax loss may not have a huge impact in certain parts of the state, but in areas like Coosa County, the loss of approximately 12,000 acres the initiative recently purchased there and its tax revenue is a more serious blow.

Tuggle’s bill failed in the House, but Whatley still felt this was the correct stand to make.

“Not everything are ‘D’ and ‘R’

issues,” Whatley said. “If you stand up and recognize the issues, you realize some of them are common sense issues.”

In other economic categories, Whatley said unemployment numbers have been promising, with the drop of 1 percentage point in the unemployment rate having added nearly $300 million to the state economy.

The expansion of Medicaid is a contentious topic, but Whatley said he feels there could be a potential solution to the issue in the near future. With the surplus seen in the general fund this fiscal year, he believed some of the money could be allocated towards

Medicaid, while more support may arrive from Washington in early 2019.

“There’s a rumor that when Congress reconvenes in January, they could be working on allocating block grants for Medicaid to the states,” Whatley said. “These block grants would give the states more control over the money, and you could see more support in that regard if they do come through.”

Whatley said the expansion through block grants could be more advantageous than other options, while also saying he feels he could get behind expansion if it was done through block grants.

Some key achievements Whatley

Council

feels he has helped accomplish include a bill requiring insurance providers to cover medical help those with autism and the Sadie Grace Andrews Bill, passed after the 3-year-old drowned in a grease trap at a Bruster’s Ice Cream in Auburn. These bills, especially the Sadie Grace Andrews Bill, Whatley felt were accomplished thanks to everyone working together to solve a problem.

“We need more positive action today,” he said.

Lastly, while Whatley said he was not at the meeting to ask members to vote for him, he did want to remind the Kiwanians to exercise their right and get out to the polls on Nov. 6.

courthouse and have an official tree lighting ceremony right after the Thanksgiving holiday.

“This is something we would really like to do,” she said. “We would like the council’s approval to do this.”

Mayor Wayne Smith said he was all for the plan, not only as the city’s leader, but also as a resident of Dadeville.

The council passed a motion, giving its support to Everything’s Art to go forward with both the tree lighting and decorating downtown. The current plan is for the tree lighting to be held Sunday, Nov. 25 in the late afternoon.

Dadeville resident Ann Campbell came before the council, mentioning how Young Street is regularly a spillway for trash. She said she goes out on a fairly regular basis to pick up what she can from the side of the road, but asked the council if it would be possible to put up a “No Littering” sign on Young Street. Smith said he would get with the street department and see if it had a spare sign, or if one would need to be ordered.

“If we have a spare, we could use one of those signs on Fulton Street too,” councilwoman Brownie Caldwell said.

As the meeting began to wind down, Smith asked for a motion to semiadjourn the meeting, before addressing everyone in attendance.

“We’re glad to have you all here with us tonight,” Smith said. “One of my good friends and council members, Dick Harrelson, turned 85 (Monday).”

After these remarks, city clerk Debbie

Minor brought a birthday cake out of her office as everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to Harrelson. The meeting was then adjourned as the council and guests shared birthday cake, cheese straws and punch in celebration.

The Dadeville City Council also took action on the following matters: • Minutes from the Oct. 9 meeting were approved.

• The council approved taking part in the annual Severe Weather Tax Preparedness Holiday from Feb. 22-24, 2019.

• Resolution No. 19-001 was passed, allowing the courthouse square project to continue moving forward. Smith said after the meeting bids for the project will be able to be let out very soon.

• Councilwoman Teneeshia GoodmanJohnson said she was still working on starting a Boys & Girls Club in town.

However, to get things started, she said she wants to begin with an after-school program for local students. She added someone has approached her about a building the program could use, but she wanted building inspector Michael Richardson to take a look at the building first.

• Caldwell said repair work on a gas line on Highway 49 was completed after it had been damaged during other work recently. Repair work cost the city $15,000, but Caldwell said the company that damaged the line will be reimbursing the city for the expense.

• Harrelson asked the council to approve a resolution to purchase a new

limb collecting truck for the city at a cost of approximately $127,000. “We have the funds to pay for this vehicle,” Harrelson said.

• Harrelson also said he received a quote from a local painter who will be able to paint and caulk the exterior of city hall and the adjacent building for $1,700, while the city will be purchasing the caulking and the paint. Harrelson said the city has the funds to complete this project and the council approved the bid.

• Smith said the beautification board is working hard to get everything moving in the right direction. At the

same time, he said he has been receiving complaints from residents about the torn-down remains of the burned house on East LaFayette Street. Richardson and city attorney Robin Reynolds said they would be looking into it.

• The council approved a motion to recognize Veterans Day as a city holiday, closing city hall on Monday, Nov. 12.

• One request to rent the recreation center was approved.

The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13 at Dadeville City Hall, following the pre-council meeting at 5:30.

It doesn’t take I a lot to make a difference T he Lake Martin Area United Way is currently in the middle of its 2019 fundraising campaign, “Be a Lifesaver of Hope,” raising money for the 28 agencies affiliated with the United Way. Local companies and businesses are encouraging employees to contribute, while other groups are holding special fundraisers to contribute to the United Way’s efforts.

Among the individuals offering up support for this campaign is StillWaters golf pro Gabby Witherington, who completed his annual 100-hole golf marathon Monday, raising a little more than $5,000 for the United Way. While this money may not seem as much compared to the amounts some of the large manufacturers can contribute, it does show how one person can have an impact on others. Witherington saw a need and found a way he could help with that need.

This is an example we all can follow. It doesn’t even have to be with the United Way’s fundraising campaign. Finding a way you can help someone around you is simple and doesn’t always require a lot of effort.

For example, buy a few extra groceries and take them to your neighbor who may be struggling with having enough to eat. Take those old bath or beach towels you may be ready to throw away and donate them to the animal shelter.

Those clothes you’ve outgrown and couldn’t sell at your yard sale?

Give them to the Salvation Army store, where they can be sold to help with the many programs that organization oversees.

Just like the story of the boy throwing the starfish back into the ocean after they wash up on the beach, your efforts, no matter how small, are making a difference to someone.

So, no matter how small you feel you contribution may be, you are having an impact in someone’s life.

Do what you can to help others, and it will come back to you in return.

Dear Editor,

Pet owners partaking in frightening fun this Halloween should remember to keep all their little ghouls and goblins safe — including the fourlegged ones.

Tricks for treats? Only if those treats are safe for pets, since many Halloween candies can be toxic to animals. Chocolate and sugar-

free candies containing the artificial sweetener xylitol can be particularly dangerous if ingested, so keep your pet from sniffing around the candy bowl.

When trick-or-treaters roam the streets, pets can become disoriented and scared. Be sure to provide a safe, quiet space they can retreat to if needed, and watch the door for escape

artists: many pets will try to disappear outside if given the chance.

Keeping pets safe this Halloween doesn’t have to be tricky. With a few simple precautions, the entire family can safely enjoy the holiday’s spooky scares.

Dr. Robin Ganzert President, CEO of American Humane

Reader: Vote for change, something better Dear Editor, Do you know anyone with ACA (Obamacare)? Do you know anyone who couldn’t get insurance because they had preexisting conditions? I do, and they finally were able to get healthcare. It was a blessing. Do you know that Rep. Mike Rogers voted against all the people who need healthcare? Do you know how many people have preexisting conditions – approximately 20 million! He voted against 20 million people! Does he care about us, the people? No. He votes with Trump against the poor, the elderly and the minorities.

Did you know the Republicans are getting ready or already trying to pass cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid? Well, how many of you have parents, children or yourselves on these programs?

Many of our elderly are on a very limited budget and have to go to the food banks to get food so they can afford medi-

cines.

Is this right? No. And, why are they doing this? Because they gave the tax cuts to the one percent of Americans who don’t need it. Now Trump has stated that he is giving a tax cut to the middle class – nope Lies, lies, lies (Trump has lied over 4,000 times before May. Political fact). That won’t happen for a long time. Our deficit is going up, up, up nd no one is concerned. I guess Republicans are waiting for Democrats to get in to fix the problems that they cause.

Has anyone thought Trump went bankrupt four or five times so maybe he is doing that to us now? Do Republicans think about these things? Not one I have talked with so far.

This state is Republican and wouldn’t allow Medicaid subsidies to help many people.

Several states have smart enough governors to know that for the betterment of their state, they needed to allow Medicaid help from the government. Guess what, we are in

the bottom again.

So far our state is in the bottom for education (which is a driving force to bring in companies), regressive taxes, high on crime, losing more species than most other states, one of the bottom states for prenatal care, but we are in the top percentage for STDs and we have some of the most natural resources and miles of rivers.

Let’s change Alabama for the betterment of our citizens.

We have so much to offer and I believe we could be at the top for everything. We have so many talented people, so many natural resources (for you money folks, can you imagine all the tourism from clean streams and lots of biodiversity), and have great schoolteachers, but they need the resources.

Let’s give them a chance, a change for something better.

Replatting

continued from page A1

The issue now has the Tallapoosa County Commission getting involved as subdivisions are being replatted.

“It is primarily for mortgage purposes,” Tallapoosa County engineer David Moore said. “Closing attorneys are now requiring it.”

At a recent Tallapoosa County Commission meeting where the commission approved a replatting, Moore explained the construction near property lines has gone on for decades and to be expecting more.

Attorneys have handled the issue differently in the past.

“It has been handled by easements in the past,” Moore said.

When approved by the commission, the replatting also involves the new property lines being recorded in the revenue commissioner’s office too – as lots change, so do property taxes.

The replatting is brought to the commission from a few different ways.

“It depends on the subdivision,” Moore said.

“HOAs (Home Owners Association) can bring it forward for replatting, and where there is no HOA, the closing attorneys are bringing it forward.”

The encroachments are happening more on lake property development than in prior ago, but can also happen elsewhere in the county. Take for example, a family owned 80 acres and as it was passed down, it was split amongst heirs. Decades later, one of the heirs decides to sell their share of the property and finds the reported property lines for their lot do not match what is on record. This is where a subdivision may need to be replatted, but there are some restrictions.

“It has to be more than four lots,” Moore said.

The issue has been coming up on a regular basis.

“It has become more frequent,” Moore said. “It is not just for the sale of property either. It could be a refinance as well. Someone with a smaller home may be refinancing for an add-on or renovation.”

Two Dadeville men arrested on drug charges STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Two Dadeville men were arrested on drug-related charges Friday in two separate incidents, one stemming from a traffic stop and another from a tip leading officers to an individual selling drugs out of a Dadeville motel.

Officers with the Camp Hill Police Department stopped a vehicle for speeding on Farley Highway 280 on Friday. When the vehicle came to a stop, the officer quickly smelled the strong odor of highgrade marijuana, also known as “loud,” emitting Goodman from inside.

Approximately 28 grams of marijuana, digital scales and baggies were recovered along with $2,440 in cash. Task force investigators responded to the scene and processed the evidence.

Devante Goodman, 21, of Dadeville was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana in the first degree,

Submitted / The Record

Drugs, cash and a gun were seized in two separate incidents Friday, which led to two arrests.

possession of drug paraphernalia and speeding.

Shortly after this incident, the task force responded to a tip in reference to an individual selling drugs from a motel room on South Street in Dadeville. Investigators did a knock and talk with the suspected person and observed marijuana laying in plain view.

A telephonic search warrant was requested at this time and granted. Investigators recovered approximately 4 grams of crack cocaine, 26 ecstasy pills and a gram of marijuana. The suspect

also had a 9mm Keltec pistol, which was reported stolen in a 2010 burglary case from Alexander City.

Michael Farley II, 39, of Dadeville was arrested and charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, certain persons forbidden to possess a firearm, receiving stolen property in the fourth degree and possession of marijuana in the second degree.

The investigation of the illegal trafficking, distribution and possession of narcotics is ongoing in Tallapoosa County.

there was some discussion on how to avoid this issue and not have to call emergency meetings to approve such outings.

“Board policy requires all overnight and out-of-state trips to be approved by the board,” superintendent Joe Windle said. “Sometimes a coach doesn’t know they’re moving on to the next level. Some coaches take their schedule into consideration and put in for transportation at the start of the season, then cancel it if they don’t make it.”

In order to help out this issue in the future, the board briefly touched on amending board policy to allow the superintendent to approve trip requests like this that come up between board meetings on a case by case basis. Windle said a draft of such an amendment would be prepared and presented to the board at its next meeting.

The next regular meeting of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education will be at 5 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27.

The Slow Moving Sloth!

Sloth Word Search

A sloth is a type of mammal that lives in the tropical forests of Central and South America and is most well-known for how slowly they move about. Sloths are usually around two feet tall and live in the trees. They have two or three toes, depending on the species, with long claws and small, round faces. Sloths are almost always seen in the trees and never on the ground. This is because sloths cannot walk. When on the ground, they must pull themselves around by their claws; this makes them very susceptible to danger from other animals. For this reason, they almost never leave the trees. Sloths move about slowly and silently from branch to branch.

Often, they hang in the trees, but they will also sit among the branches. Sloths are a brownish color, but they sometimes appear to be green because they are also covered in a type of algae RQ WKHLU IXU 7KH DOJDH KHOS WR FDPRXÀDJH WKHP LQ WKH WUHHV 6ORWKV DUH PRVWO\ QRFWXUQDO $ IHZ species are awake some during the day, but for the most part, they sleep during the day and roam through the trees at night to eat leaves and fruit.

The Dadeville Record

The Learning Tree offers help with developmental disorders Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of profiles on the 28 agencies that receive funding through the Lake Martin Area United Way. Currently, the United Way is holding its 2019 fundraising campaign, “Be a Lifesaver of Hope.” To learn how to help, contact the United Way at 256-329-3600 or at www.unitedwaylakemartin.org.

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

For children with developmental disorders, including those on the autism spectrum, it can sometimes be difficult to communicate with others or function without major concerns. However, parents in the Tallapoosa County area have a place their children can go and receive help in a caring environment, getting an education and overcoming the issues they face on a daily basis.

The Learning Tree was founded in 1983 to provide educational and residential

services for children and adolescents who have been severely impacted by developmental disorders. The organization assists more than 600 children and their families every year, including more than 100 attending one of the three residential schools offered by The Learning Tree, located in Mobile, Jacksonville and Tallassee. There are six homes in Tallapoosa County where those attending the Tallassee school are able to live and receive around the clock care in a homelike setting.

The Learning Tree’s mission is to provide a warm and loving environment with individualized, empirically validated services and support to persons with significant educational, medical and behavioral challenges; helping them develop and maintain a quality of life expected by non-disabled members of their family and community.

Since opening its doors, The Learning Tree has seen its share of children being helped

through the program, growing into successful individual.

The Learning Tree’s Resource Development Coordinator Stephanie Weldon shared the story of one child from Tallassee who has come through the program and was forever changed, thanks to the work of the staff at The Learning Tree.

The boy’s mother first enrolled him at The Learning Tree when the boy was 7 years old. His behavioral issues, especially his aggressive tendencies, led him to sometimes lash out at others. As such, she felt The Learning Tree was the best option for helping him work through his condition and more effectively function in the world.

“I was scared, nervous and indecisive about leaving my baby with strangers so far away from home,” the mother said.

“But I was deeply concerned about him. He had behavior problems that no one could deal with but his stepfather and I. He was very aggressive. He

would scratch and bite himself and other people. We felt The Learning Tree was our only option to teach him another way of life, by helping him control his aggressive behavior and to learn every day basics.”

Since his time at The Learning Tree, the boy’s mother said his behavior has changed drastically, being able to interact with people and not bite or scratch them. She said she was impressed not only with his behavioral change, but also how he has learned things like throwing trash in the garbage can instead of on the floor, properly dressing himself and even using an electronic device to effectively communicate with her. Overall, the mother was impressed with how The Learning Tree had been able to help her son and assist him in becoming the young man she always hoped he would be.

“This experience hasn’t been easy for us, but the staff at The Learning Tree have helped us every step of the way,” the mother said. “They are patient,

understanding and caring for our son and myself. I feel like I made the right decision, no matter how hard it was. I will forever be grateful for the amazing staff that worked with my child and his special needs.”

For more information about The Learning Tree and the programs it offers, its website is www.learning-tree.org, and its phone number is 334-252-0025.

WANT TO HELP? In addition to giving to the United Way to help fund everything The Learning Tree offers, Weldon said there are a multitude of items the organization needs on a regular basis if people would like to donate directly. The school is regularly in need of school supplies and books for the library, while the homes students live in can always use home goods like towels and washcloths, as well as decorations to make the house feel more like home.

Breast cancer survivor tells story of success

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

It was a chilly but sunny Tuesday morning as Rhonda Patton was driving to work when her phone rang. It was the doctor’s office delivering some news.

“It was Jan. 12, 2016,” Patton told the group of women gathered for the Celebrate Life Luncheon at Haven Memorial United Methodist Church Thursday. “They called to tell me I had cancer.”

But it was not Patton’s first run-in with cancer.

“My father died of cancer when I was in 8th grade,” she said.

Patton’s journey with cancer made her realize cancer knows no boundaries.

“As a child you think cancer slays old people,” Patton said. “As a young woman, I realize cancer does not have an age on it. Cancer starts young, at birth and goes all the way to 80 and 90 years old. Cancer is not for elderly people. Cancer is not for a certain gender. Cancer is for all people. This journey has taught me so much about my enemy – cancer.”

Patton believes God and faith has guided her to a successful path through cancer. First she was originally scheduled to present a program for work the day she got the call, but as fate would have it, she was asked to present on Monday. Now she had to get home after receiving the dreadful call.

Cliff Williams / The Record

Rhonda Patton speaks to the ladies at Haven Memorial United Methodist Church about her journey with breast cancer. She is the cousin of Dr. Dorothea Walker of Alexander City.

“The first thing I did was cry,” Patton said. “I was driving. The first thing I thought was why do this while I am driving down the road.”

Patton was not happy it was a cold phone call to deliver such news, but she said it was God who guided her.

“Did you not consider me enough to call me into the office to tell me?,” Patton asked herself while driving.

“That was a test. I could pull over and cry, have an accident or pray.”

Reeltown VFD to hold 15th annual steak dinner fundraiser

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

It is almost time for one of the area’s most anticipated fundraisers. The Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department has scheduled the 15th annual steak dinner and cash drawdown for Nov. 3 at Reeltown High School beginning at 5 p.m. with the cash drawing at 6.

Only 200 tickets will be sold for this event. Each of those tickets goes into the drawing for total of $7,500 in prizes.

“I suggest buying tickets early because they are going fast,” Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department’s Pete Mastin said.

With the cash giveaway this year, close to $100,000 will have been awarded to the participants. The first ticket and the 100th ticket drawn will both win a $500 cash prize. The 20th, 50th, 75th, 125th, 150th and 175th tickets drawn will receive a $250 cash prize. Finally, the 200th ticket drawn will take home $5,000.

Each ticket costs $100 and, in addition to the drawing, is worth two steak dinners. Extra dinners will be available for $15.

“This is the most important fundraiser of the year,” Mastin said. “This pays for the department’s insurance coverage and other expenses. Insurance costs are near $10,000 annually.”

The Reeltown Volunteer Fire Department is an allvolunteer agency, covering much of southern Tallapoosa County and northern Macon County. In addition to fire emergencies, RVFD responds to traffic accidents, medical emergencies and other service issues in the community.

The RVFD responds from two stations with a total of eight pieces of apparatus.

Automatic and mutual aid agreements with adjoining departments helps enhance the response capabilities of all involved, thus lowering the insurance ratings in these jurisdictions.

While RVFD receives some financial support from Tallapoosa County and the state of Alabama, the bulk of expenses are paid through annual voluntary dues of $50 from residents of the fire district.

In September, notifications of the yearly assessments was sent to approximately 1,100 households. Last year, only 407 of the 1,100 households paid the voluntary dues.

For more information, contact any member of the RVFD or call 334-257-4403.

She would first call her brothers.

“Of course I was looking to my brothers for strength,” Patton said.

“They started to cry and knew I could not listen. They started to reminiscence about my father’s fight.”

Patton understood they were struggling with the idea of losing their sister so she made another phone call to get home. She was determined to beat cancer even moments after finding out she had breast cancer.

“Cancer chose the right woman at the wrong time,” Patton said. “We will be fine in this journey.”

The next call was to someone she knew who would help.

“I called my best friend,” Patton said.

“She took a deep breath. She didn’t cry, at least I didn’t hear her cry and she began to pray.”

Patton realized early on she would go elsewhere for treatment.

“I knew I had to leave to live,” she said. “On cancer you have to move, you can’t rest on it.”

Patton would travel to Zion, Illinois for surgery at Cancer Centers of America and then three months of radiation at UAB in Birmingham.

She is now cancer free but realizes God had a plan even before she received the dreadful phone call in the car in Jan. 2016.

“God had already lined up people to help me down the path,” Patton said.

“He put people in place.”

Patton has retired early and made some lifestyle changes, like becoming vegan to help her recovery, but wants to encourage others to follow God’s path.

Those people and signs, some as simple as the way appointments were scheduled to street signs showed Patton she was on the right path.

“I know faith does not make it easy, but I had to let cancer know it was not welcome,” she said. “He will give you nuggets along the way.”

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Dadeville volleyball team fought with intensity Monday night in the Class 3A Area 6 tournament against B.B. Comer and host Beulah, winning the area championship and punching its ticket to the regional tournament beginning today in Montgomery.

“It was absolutely incredible Monday night,” Dadeville coach Jenni Roy said.

“The girls really worked together. The competition was great, and they’re playing the best they’ve played all year.”

After downing B.B. Comer in straight sets to advance to the area finals, Roy said her team really had to battle against See TIGERS • Page B5

The biggest thing for the Tigers going into Friday night’s game will be finding that “killer instinct,” as White has called it many times this season.

Dadeville has had several opportunities to keep games close or even win them, but it just can’t seem to finish.

It’s gotten behind by two touchdowns early in at least three games this year, and last week against Beulah, the Tigers allowed the Bobcats to convert three fourth downs and a third and 12.

StillWaters golf pro Gabby Witherington tees off on the 10th hole late Monday morning during his 100-hole golf marathon in support of the Lake Martin Area United Way.

Shortly after the sun rose Monday morning, StillWaters golf pro Gabby Witherington stepped out onto the StillWaters course and teed off for his annual 100-hole golf marathon to raise money for the Lake Martin Area United Way. “It’s been a good, beautiful morning. We’ve been blessed with a day of good weather for this,” Witherington said during his lunch break just after 11 a.m. “It was 42 degrees when I first teed off this morning at 6:25. I was able to get 54 holes in before breaking for lunch.”

Witherington’s goal for this year’s marathon was $5,000, a figure he said he has exceeded, having had around $5,200 pledged to him by the See GOLF • Page B5

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You will want more contact with a partner than usual. You are trying to resolve an issue to everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction. Checking in with others to discuss key points is smart. Understanding what motivates you to head in a certain direction might not appeal to some. Tonight: Hang out.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Despite a Ã&#x201E;t of anger or frustration, you can be found smiling most of the day. As long as you relax, the cards will fall in the right direction for you. Reach out to someone at a distance whom you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often slow down to speak to or share news with. Tonight: Make it easy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your perky attitude and happy style draw friends toward you. You might wonder what would be the best thing for you to do under a certain set of circumstances. A partner is likely to give you strong feedback.

Try to stay on topic as much as possible. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to come to terms with a loved one or dear friend.

Reach out to this person. Though there could be a minute or two of anger, eventually you will be able to talk through what has been a problem. Allow more give-and-take with this person. Tonight: Around friends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Others always seem to notice you, but at the present moment you might feel as if you are being noticed too much, especially professionally. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get nervous, but try to be less social than usual.

You could gain from this moment in a big way. Tonight: Do something just for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A partner could be more provocative than usual. Avoid triggering a disagreement if possible. Frustrations might be high, but if you stay Ã&#x2026;exible, you will Ã&#x2026;ow through a situation with ease. Be willing to work with the unfamiliar and the unknown. Tonight: Try something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One-on-one relating takes you to a new level of understanding.

You might wonder whether you will be able to fulÃ&#x201E;ll a commitment involving a loved one. Anger and/ or frustration could bubble up if you are not careful in how you deal with this person. Tonight: Be a duo.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Defer to a partner. Attempt to get the feedback you need. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll discover the signiÃ&#x201E;cance of getting information as well as the need to apply it. Be willing to take a stand, if need be. Others appreciate you stepping up to the plate. Tonight: Listen to what a loved one is sharing.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Be willing to take a risk. Know that even with the Full Moon, you could be bored and dragging. Recognize how a child or loved one often inspires you to take risks. You might decide to be your own cheerleader today. Go for what you want.

Tonight: Let the fun take over.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Being reasonable always seems to help. You usually come up with the right response. Back out of a problem that does not interest you. Be clear about your motivation. Open up a conversation about a self-imposed restriction. Get feedback.

Tonight: Go where your friends are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You sense that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get more information by asking questions or by snooping around. Others are likely to divulge more than you had anticipated. A friendship could feel more draining to you now than it has in the past. Take a step back, if possible. Tonight: Just do not be alone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You will stay on top of a project.

Others might be surprised by how smoothly things are running. Trust that you will know when you have had enough. Explore an idea that you have thought about and now want to talk through. Tonight: Dream up some wonderful weekend plans.

The Dadeville Record

Regionals schedule the Generals faced this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately our goal would be to come out of regional and advance to state,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just have to see who we play and how we match up.â&#x20AC;?

After winning the area tournament, Turner expressed some worry about not knowing much about their regional opponents, but she said the team did get ahold of one film from Ohatchee, so it has been studying up on that. But the Generals took Tuesday to mostly focus on themselves in preparation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had just one small little practice,â&#x20AC;? Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked on basic skills. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about all you can do is fine tune your basic skills and make sure you know how to serve and know how to pass.â&#x20AC;?

Turner said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hopeful senior Maggie Wood will help lead the team during the regional.

File / The Record

The Tigers will match up with Walter Wellborn today at 9 a.m. at Cramton Bowl in Montgomery.

Tigers

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maggie is probably playing her best volleyball of the season,â&#x20AC;?

Turner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had a really good area tournament and a really good game against Coosa in the last regular season game, so sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been looking really strong.â&#x20AC;?

Horseshoe Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first game is at 11:30 a.m.

In Class 6A, Benjamin Russell is going to have a tall task against Pelham, which has a 31-6 record this season. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple of things the Wildcats need to focus on if they hope to pull off an upset.

The first is staying mentally in the game; BRHS has been known to falter when it gets down on itself.

The Wildcats also need to serve the ball well and do a better job on serve receive than they did Monday against Opelika in the area championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to go back to the drawing board with our serve

receive and focus on that,â&#x20AC;?

Benjamin Russell coach Magan Ford said after Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll focus on being smart with our swings and being disciplined with our blocks. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting hands on most balls, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not disciplined with our blocks so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going here, there, everywhere. We just need to get back in and practice all the little things and fine tuning.â&#x20AC;?

Benjamin Russell will play at 2 p.m.

In Class 3A, Dadeville pulled off a big upset in its area tournament, defeating Beulah in a five-set marathon, so the Tigers will match up with Walter Wellborn today at 9 a.m., and Central Coosa, the No. 2 seed out of its area, will play Goshen in Class 2A action at 12:45 p.m.

At regionals, teams must win two games to guarantee a spot at the state tournament. The second day of regionals decides seeding at state.

they can be successful and hang in there with teams they may face in the postseason.

As the Tigers prepare to take on Walter Wellborn today, their main focus is to take it game by game, focus on the key things and hopefully advance to the state tournament in Birmingham. Roy also said not only are the Tigers excited about where they stand and their chances of doing well at regionals, but support is pouring in from the rest of the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are getting a lot of support from everyone at school. There are at least 80 students signed up to go to Montgomery (today) to watch us,â&#x20AC;? Roy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my first year coaching, so this has been a great way to wrap it up so far.â&#x20AC;?

Beulah for the area championship, but the Tigers took down the Bobcats to win the area title and advance to the regional tournament with a better seeding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew going into the match against Beulah we would be going to Montgomery, but the girls just kept fighting to earn a good seed,â&#x20AC;? Roy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our spirits are really high coming off winning the area championship.â&#x20AC;?

Roy felt her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match against Sylacauga last week also helped boost them in the area tournament and could provide an additional boost in the regional rounds. While Dadeville fell in four sets against the Aggies, Roy said the Tigers kept it close the entire match against a larger school, helping them realize

time he started the marathon.

Though he was just over halfway done before he broke for lunch, Witherington said his pace would slow down some in the afternoon as other golfers began to take to the course, while also allowing those interested in watching him chase the goal of 100 holes could follow him more easily.

As Witherington returned to the course after lunch, he was accompanied by Lake Martin Area United Way Executive Director Sharon Fuller, marketing director Courtney Layfield and Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith.

While Witherington reached and surpassed his goal for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraiser marathon, he said much of his support came from StillWaters residents, the Dadeville Kiwanis Club and others from the Dadeville area. Witherington said he wanted to invite Alexander City

Cottonwood’s damage included the visiting bleachers toppling nearly to the ground.

It’s great to see the AHSAA reaching out to a school in need during a time like this.

With the holiday season right around the corner and an air of unrest surrounding the country, it’s extremely important now more than ever to give back to those in need, regardless of how much you can give or in what way. Find a purpose that’s meaningful to you.

In addition to the ASHAA donating funds to Cottonwood High School, there are plenty of organizations around Tallapoosa County that are raising funds or material items to help those who were harmed or are still in need after the hurricane.

If you’re a student, being a volunteer for your community looks great on college applications and is also a way to give back to a place that’s given to you. I’m always in awe when I see football teams or volleyball squads doing something for their community.

It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s great to see volleyball teams around the area hosting Dig Pink days to raise money for either an organization or someone specifically in need within the community.

I wrote a story for our Breast Cancer Awareness special section about what local football teams are doing to honor the cause, and while wearing pink may make football teams look great, it doesn’t necessarily help anyone. That’s why I loved the idea the Reeltown Rebels do, which is every player who wants to wear pink must donate $10 that will then be collected and given to someone in need.

A lot of student-athletes in this county have aspirations to play at the collegiate level. At the next level, it becomes that much more important to be a pillar of your community because you’re in the public eye. The Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide players are heroes in the eyes of many young people, and it’s important to take that status and use it to teach good lessons.

So whether it be donating something to hurricane relief or taking part in a Habitat for Humanity build, volunteering at Lake Martin Animal Shelter or raising money for someone suffering from cancer or another disease, find a way to get involved. Not only will it be good for the person you’re trying to help, but it’ll also make you feel better about your purpose.

Keep this lesson in mind with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up. If you’re blessed enough to have a giant turkey and a pile of presents under the tree, just remember not everyone is. See if you can find a way to help.

It’s little old things like that that normally in the past, my teams have always risen and stopped the other team.

We just seem to kind of shoot ourselves in the foot a lot.”

Although the Tigers have struggled throughout the season, there have been some high points. The defense has looked extremely strong at times, and quarterback Slade McCullers has had a solid season both on the ground and through the air. White is also encouraged by the play of freshmen running backs Javuntae Holley and Christian Nelson.

“They’ve been doing good,” White said. “For freshmen, I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

The Dadeville Record

Delphic Club News STAFF REPORT Special to The Record

The Delphic Club of Dadeville met Oct. 4 in the fellowship hall of Dadeville First United Methodist Church. Robin Burson was hostess and was ably assisted

by Jane Milton and India Hamby. Tables reflected a fall theme and refreshments consisted of Barbara Cunningham’s pumpkin roll, mixed nuts, candy corn and chocolate candy.

Milton chose a devotion which was read by Sharon Gaither. It was from Ruth Simons’ book “Graceland” and dealt with forgiveness. In order to be forgiven, we must also forgive.

Milton was program chair introduced speaker Ron Slyfox Messer. Messer was dressed in his full Cherokee regalia – from head to toe. During his presentation he explained the history and story related to each item he wore. Messer’s father was Cherokee and his mother was Scottish and Cherokee. We learned so much about the Cherokee tribes as Messer dispelled some commonly held myths by many.

He explained that there were five Indian trives in the southeast and that none of them wore war bonnets – they all wore turbans. In the mornings the Cherokee raised their hands to the sun thanking the creator for another day. After settlers came and taught them, they accepted Jesus. They carried and ark into battle and in the ark were coals for fire wherever they might be. They lived in wooden houses, not tepees. The turban which Messer wore was adorned with some feathers and he had a fan made of red turkey feathers which he dyed himself.

The fans were used in dance rituals.

Messer’s Scottish ancestry has led him to be a champion highland dancer and also a member of St. Andrews bagpipe band. One of his relatives in Coosa County is a direct descendant of Chief Menawa who survived the Battle of Horseshoe Bend.

President LaNell Black then resided over the business meeting. The roll was called by acting secretary Sharon Gaither with 16 members present. Welcomed as visitors to our meeting were India Hamby and Bill Ponder.

Frank Johnson: The Legend and the Free State of Winston

T

hose of us who are baby boomers remember the tumultuous times of the 1960s. We lived through the Civil Rights revolution.

Those of us who grew up here in the Heart of Dixie witnessed the transpiring of racial integration first hand. Most of the crusades and struggles occurred here in Alabama, especially Montgomery.

A good many of the landmark Civil Rights court decisions were handed down in the federal court in Montgomery. The author and renderer of these epic rulings was one, Frank M. Johnson, Jr. He served as federal judge in the Middle District of Alabama for 24 years from 1955 through 1979.

Johnson’s judicial decisions brought death threats to him and his family from whites opposed to integration. He was vilified by most white Alabamians at that time and became George Wallace’s favorite whipping boy.

Wallace referred to him as a “lying, scalawagging, carpetbagging integrationist.”

Frank Johnson, Jr. was born in Winston County in October 1918.

Winston County attempted to stay neutral during the Civil War. It was a Republican stronghold in an overwhelmingly Democratic Alabama.

In contrast to the Black Belt planters in South Alabama, the people who

president, he rewarded Johnson with a federal judgeship.

In 1955-1956, shortly after taking his seat on the bench, Johnson became involved in a formative event of the Civil Rights movement. Rosa Parks was arrested for violating a Montgomery ordinance requiring racial segregation on the city buses. In response, the African American community organized a boycott of the bus system and nominated Reverend Martin Luther King as its leader. Johnson ruled that the Montgomery ordinance violated the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

The ruling was the first of many by Johnson which eliminated racial segregation in public accommodations such as parks, libraries, bus stations and airports during the 1950s and 1960s.

Johnson’s decisions were legendary and groundbreaking. He became the central defender of Civil Rights in America from his federal bench in Montgomery.

The Federal Courthouse in Montgomery is now named in his honor. Judge Johnson died in 1999.
