‘Breaking the ice’ Solar energy coming to Alexander City

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

In the not so far future, solar power will be in Alexander City.

Solar panels have been seen on watches, keyboards and some lights.

Look across the world and they seem to be appearing everywhere. Just over in Chambers County is the largest solar farm in the state with 338,662 solar panels covering 1,100 acres. It is large enough to power 18,000 homes.

And a small solar farm is coming to Alexander City. At the corner of Dadeville Road and Comer Street, a solar generation unit is being installed by the Alabama Municipal Electric Authority See SOLAR • Page 3

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Alexander City Board of Education filled an opening left by the death of Benjamin Russell football assistant coach Curtis Glaize during a special-called meeting Wednesday morning, hiring Jessica Sanford as a career tech teacher at the high school, though no action was taken regarding hiring another coach.

Despite the absences of board members Dorothea Walker and Michael Ransaw, the board members in attendance voted unanimously to hire Sanford to the position. Superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper said this hiring will be effective on Oct. 15, the Monday students return from fall break. Cooper also said Sanford See HIRE • Page 3

Desserts a hit at first responder luncheon

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Magic mirror on the wall, who is the sweetest of them all?

First responders had the question in their heads as they entered the annual Valley National Bank first responder luncheon Wednesday.

“I am here for the desserts,” Alexander City Police Department captain Mario Hodge said.

“The desserts are always the best. I always eat way too many desserts.”

As state troopers, firefighters and police officers entered the dining hall at the bank, eyes first went to the tables covered in homemade treats of flavorful, countless calories but no one was watching their waistlines. The line of homemade cakes, cookies, brownies and pies were in every flavor imaginable – chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, lemon and nutty. First responders were also treated to fried fish, hushpuppies and cole slaw.

DEAR ABBY: I have been in a strong relationship with my girlfriend for five years. We are very much in love.

I have told her I don’t want to get married and have kids until I have attained some level of success. She understands my desire to be a good provider, but she’s 29 and worried about her biological clock if she waits much longer.

I work full time, take night classes and I’m trying to put myself on a promising career path. Is my request unreasonable? We want it to work, but being able to provide at least a middle-class lifestyle is very important to me. -AMBITIOUS GUY IN SAN DIEGO DEAR AMBITIOUS: It would be wonderful if there was a blueprint for success in life and marriage, but too often, “life” intervenes. You and your girlfriend should have a serious discussion about the future, because you both have to be comfortable with what happens next.

DEAR ABBY Advice

ily right away and you feel you can’t afford it, neither of you will be happy. If she’s willing to wait another few years to start a family (her biological clock should still be ticking, or she could freeze her eggs), then it’s important you agree about what needs to be in place financially in order for that to happen.

DEAR ABBY: My parents like to visit us and bring along their little dog, “Truffle.” We are happy to have them and their dog, however we have an issue. My parents allow Truffle on the furniture. We have a dog and love her to pieces, but feel that furniture is for humans. Because our family likes to relax by sprawling on the couch at times, it’s not as

pleasant once a pet has been lying there.

My husband has voiced this concern but has been ignored.

We are going to visit my parents soon, and I’m wondering how to handle this. We love everyone and don’t want to hurt their feelings. I appreciate your advice. -- OFF THE COUCH IN COLORADO DEAR OFF THE COUCH: If you and your husband prefer that animals stay off the furniture in your home, that’s your privilege. In your home, your rules should be respected. If your parents choose to ignore your request, they should stay in a pet-friendly hotel or leave Truffle at home.

HOWEVER, when you visit in their home, their rules should apply. And if your husband doesn’t want to sit or lie on their couch because of the animal hair or the odor, he should sit on a dining chair that can be wiped down, take a washable cover to throw on the couch or stay home.

DEAR ABBY: I’ve had an

online friend for three years.

We met on a dating/flirt app in high school and recently met in person. We aren’t currently dating, but it’s inevitable at this point.

He’s funny, down-to-earth and good-looking as hell! What he doesn’t know is that prior to meeting him, I had a relationship with a woman, and I think I’m in love with her. I broke things off with her, but now I miss her more and more. I want to reach out to her, but I want him and me to get closer as well. What should I do?

-- GIRL WITH OPTIONS IN MAINE DEAR G.W.O.: What you should do is be honest with both of them and let the scenario play out naturally.

(AMEA). It will not be big but is meant to show what is coming in the future. “It will take up about a quarter of an acre,� Alexander City community development director Al Jones said. “It will provide basically enough energy for eight homes.�

The unit will not be hooked up to any homes, but the power will not be lost. “The power will be sold into the

grid,� Jones said.

The future of solar energy is here according to Jones. “They have made a lot of improvements in solar cells,� Jones said. “The loss in efficiency has come down in recent years. They loss about 1 percent a year now. So in 30 years it will still be producing at about 70 percent of its original capability.

Several years ago,it was not like that.�

And the unit being installed is not the most efficient available. “It will be stationary,� Jones said. “They will not move or rotate with the sun. If this was for serious power generation they would be. It would be much more expensive to have a tracking system.�

While the power generation at the installation will not be great, it has a greater purpose as similar units are

being installed in all AMEA cities. “We are members of AMEA,� Jones said. “It is a sizable educational model.

It is being put on a prime piece of real estate to get views where people will see it. The idea is to get people to be aware of what is coming in the future.

Renewables are the way of the future.

This is kind of breaking the ice with that.�

Valley National Bank’s Mark Spencer said. “It is a great community because of all that you do.�

Spencer explained employees are happy to host the lunch for first responders and take pride in the efforts of all. “This has become a tradition for us,�

Spencer said. “Thank you all very much.�

The words sat well with first responders, but everyone quickly returned to the desserts and which ones they would select before returning to duty. “I got to make a decision,� Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Marine Patrol Lt. Mark Fuller said. “Can we do sample platters?�

Cooper replied.

While Sanford was not present at Wednesday’s meeting, BRHS principal Dr. Anthony Wilkinson briefly mentioned how qualified Sanford was to take the position. “She’s a BR grad,�

Wilkinson said. “In high school, she took all the classes she’ll be teaching, so she knows what to expect.�

In addition to hiring Sanford, Cooper reminded the board fall break is this upcoming week and as such, the regularly scheduled monthly board meeting was moved back a week as a result.

The next scheduled meeting of the Alexander City Board of Education will be at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 23 in the board room of the board of education building.

The

Prosecutor picks apart the case against Kavanaugh

Our

View

Building trust, relationships key to communities

O

ver the past several years, media reports of alleged police brutality have increase. As such, it seems like there is a severe distrust of law enforcement officials among the public. A handful of local crimes and violent incidents have been difficult for police to solve for a lack of cooperation from members of the public.

Looking to try to build relationships with local citizens, first responders from Alexander City and Tallapoosa County came together to hold a local National Night Out in Strand Park Tuesday night, giving locals the chance to meet law enforcement officials, firefighters and others who work tirelessly on behalf of the community.

During National Night Out in Alexander City, law enforcement agencies and first responders talked with attendees about what they do in the community. They, along with church groups and local government officials, handed out valuable information, such as child identification kits, while also providing a fun environment for everyone by serving up hot dogs, setting up bouncy houses, playing music and welcoming characters like Sparky the Fire Dog to the event.

Offering up education in a fun environment is beneficial, giving attendees the chance to enjoy themselves and learn something in the process. Not only does National Night Out offer valuable information, but it also helps the public see law enforcement and first responders in a different light. It shows they are people too, though people charged with a task that is far from easy: protecting everyone in the community every day of the year.

So, while the issue of “bad cops” may never go away, having events like National Night Out give the public the chance to be up close and personal with those who keep our communities safe and understand the jobs these officials are tasked with. Events like these can lead to better trust among all parties involved, can help reduce the number of negative incidents between law enforcement officials and the public and encourage everyone to work together to build a better community.

T

he decision by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley to have Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell question Christine Blasey Ford may well be remembered as a brilliant — and quite possibly pivotal — choice.

No doubt, allowing Mitchell to ask questions instead of Republican senators served a defensive purpose, avoiding the spectacle of a bunch of old, white men publicly questioning a woman who says she was a victim of sexual abuse. But Mitchell’s methodical, genial approach left many supporters of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh deeply frustrated, with some complaining that Mitchell was “not laying a glove” on Ford.

That view is wrong.

First, the audience for Mitchell’s questions was not the media or even the general public. It was the three Republican senators who will determine Judge Kavanaugh’s fate: Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Jeff Flake of Arizona. And it turns out that Mitchell’s orderly questioning actually elicited a lot of information that undermined Ford’s case against Kavanaugh.

This was not obvious during the hearing, because Mitchell was not able to deliver a summation. But she was able to do so later, first during a closed-door meeting of Republican senators and then in a memorandum, in which she explains why, based on her quarter-century of experience prosecuting sex crimes, no “reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee.”

To begin with, Mitchell lays out how Ford had “not offered a consistent account of when the alleged assault happened” or her age when it happened, and how “her account of who was at the party has been inconsistent.” For example, Mitchell points out that Ford listed Patrick “PJ” Smyth to the polygrapher

Either MARC this statement under oath THIESSEN was untrue or her attorneys failed to share Grassley’s Columnist offer with her -- which is a serious violation of the American Bar Association’s and in her July 6 text to rules of professional a Post reporter, but “she conduct. did not list Leland Keyser Mitchell also shows “Dr. even though they are good Ford struggled to remember friends.

Dear Editor, We are a nation that accepts pornography, but hate and despise sexual abuse.

We are a nation that does not believe in gender ID, yet fight for women’s rights.

We are a nation that preaches no child will be left behind, but we have aborted 60 million babies.

We are a nation where thousands of our young heroes have died so our flag can still wave as a free

society, yet we give the title “hero” to wealthy athletes who kneel in disrespect to that flag.

We ignore corruption in our own political party, while aggressively attacking corruption of the opposing party.

We profess to be a “nation of laws,” yet it seems that rule does not apply to the politically powerful.

We have “In God We Trust” on our money, but tolerate the ACLU that sues virtually anyone who seeks

to display God in public.

We freely tout we are the greatest nation on Earth, while the U.S. consumes more opioids and antidepressants than any other nation.

We take great pride in boasting to other nations that we are a nation of “one,” yet in reality, we are looked upon as a country of many sharply divided groups.

We are what we are!

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties The Dadeville Record

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your temper seems to be close to the surface. You might have had some experience taming the anger within, which makes it less likely that you will explode. Be forgiving if someone starts acting out or simply becomes wild. Tonight: OɈ doing your thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A domestic issue emerges that could put you deep into thought.

Reverie might not be appropriate at work! Extremes seem to mark your day. Connect with others, and express your concerns. You are able to Ă…ourish once you get past a hassle. Tonight: Go with the moment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You have a way of expressing yourself and your needs. You might want to take a break from the immediate situation. Go oɈ and take a walk, then share your thoughts openly.

Tonight: Visit with a neighbor or close friend who has been knocking on your door.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Build yourself up. Consider taking a class, or schedule more frequent gym visits. Be careful when dealing with a partner. Stay centered, and do not allow yourself to be thrown oɈ-kilter. A conversation helps you put together the big picture. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You beam and draw others toward you. As a result, your positive attitude goes far. Others tend to reveal much more when you are open with them. Watch a tendency to be excessive in your self-expression, no matter what you do! Listen to feedback. Tonight: Do what you want.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be dealing with more than your share of details and issues.

You also have a lot of information to digest. You will have a new beginning if you decide to change certain patterns. Think deeply about a minor revision of a segment of your life. Tonight: Get some extra

R and R. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Get down to basics when having a discussion. You cannot avoid a conversation for long -- and the sooner you have it, the better. Your anger is close to the surface. Try to avoid an eruption of fury. Be careful if you feel hot under the collar. Tonight: Follow your friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You decide to have a long-overdue conversation with a higher-up. You could have diɉculty getting a situation under control, especially as you might be harboring some undeĂ„ned resentment or anger. Honor your diɈerences. Tonight: Out and about, strutting your stuɈ.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) When trying to piece together a problematic situation, detach and try to imagine what it is like to be in the other person’s shoes. Identifying with others helps you come up with a reasonable solution for all parties involved. Tonight: Go see a movie with a loved one.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You are able to look at a problem from a unique perspective. As a result of your unusual view, you see what others don’t. In fact, a solution might not be needed, but rather understanding and empathy toward each other. Ask questions, if necessary. Tonight: Opt to be a team.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Defer to others, and let them clearly express their agendas. You are unlikely to lose yourself if you allow another person to dominate for a while. You also might understand why you do not like being as passive as you are. Tonight: At a favorite spot with favorite people.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Deal with a work-related matter.

Your schedule might be intense and very busy. You could wonder what way would be best to present a new idea. You might want to wait for now. Ask a close loved one if you are projecting negativity. Tonight: Know when to call it a night.

Floyd stresses need for foster parents to Dadeville Kiwanis Club

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Dadeville Kiwanis Club welcomed one of its own as a special guest speaker last Thursday. Former club president and Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources Director Brenda Floyd was joined by Lewis Prince, Cynthia Walls and T.R. Amason to speak about how important it is to have area residents become foster parents for local children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very fortunate to have the foster care staff that we have,â&#x20AC;? Floyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have challenging case loads to have to handle.â&#x20AC;?

Prince said there are currently 71 children in foster care in Tallapoosa County, but while there are caring people currently serving as foster parents, there are only 14 homes open and licensed with the DHR to serve as foster homes for local children. With so few homes available to take in children, Prince said there are a number of local children placed in foster care who end up being placed outside of Tallapoosa County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need foster parents, especially for teens,â&#x20AC;? Prince said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The need is far greater for children over the age of 2.â&#x20AC;?

Floyd added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also need parents who can serve as therapeutic foster parents for our children with medical needs. Our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs are so varied.â&#x20AC;?

Despite the issue of there not being enough foster homes for every child in Tallapoosa County, Prince said there are a number of positive things the DHR sees, including seeing people attending foster care classes throughout the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are blessed with a great sense of caring spirit in the community,â&#x20AC;? Prince said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only have we taught classes at churches around the area, we can now teach our classes in the home with potential foster parents.â&#x20AC;?

Speaking for a moment to the Dadeville High School Key Club members also in attendance, Prince said social work is currently a growing field, encouraging

them to look into pursuing a career in social work if they find the field interesting.

Walls and Amason, both of whom work with a multitude of cases and assist when foster children are adopted, said they have seen a number of success stories while working for DHR, all while trying to maintain family connections and keep the children safe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I used to be a foster child myself. I was also a foster parent,â&#x20AC;? Amason said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never dreamed when I was a student at Dadeville High School that I would be working for the DHR. It can be hard finding that right placement for children in foster care. We want to make sure our children are safe.â&#x20AC;?

While he felt it was concerning to hear the numbers Floyd and her coworkers were giving, Phil Evers told the four, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really encouraging to hear you all talk and present to us.â&#x20AC;?

Other questions from the Kiwanians included what it takes to be a foster parent and how many places like the Tallapoosa County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Girls Ranch there are around the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 10-week class,â&#x20AC;? Floyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also go through all other necessary steps like background checks.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to the Tallapoosa County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Girls Ranch near Camp Hill, there is also a girls ranch near Decatur and boys ranches near Pell City and in Baldwin County, according to Floyd.

These ranches work with groups like the DHR to help children who may not have as many medical needs and do not have major behavioral problems.

Overall the key message Floyd and her coworkers wanted to stress was how the DHR needs new people signing up to serve as foster parents for children throughout the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are in desperate need of foster parents,â&#x20AC;? Floyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will have a booth set up at the Dadeville Fall Festival if you want to learn more about us and about being a foster parent.â&#x20AC;?

MUCH-NEEDED BREAK Generals spend bye week refocusing

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

A bye week for Horseshoe Bend’s football team couldn’t have come at a much better time.

Not only are the Generals trying to regroup after losing quarterback Nywanski Russell, who was easily their best athlete, they also are coming off a tough loss against Loachapoka, a team they felt they should’ve beaten.

After having Monday off for a much-needed rest, the Generals got back to work Tuesday and coach Josh Averett said the biggest focus this week is themselves.

“We have seen film on Vincent (the Generals’ next opponent),” Averett said, “but we’ve gotta figure out a way to move the ball and get better offensively.”

Horseshoe Bend’s defense has been fairly stout so far this season, especially in its last two games where it gave up a combined 26 points.

But the offensive woes have been the name of the game for Horseshoe Bend all season long. Aside from the Generals’ 35-12 win over winless Central Coosa, they’ve scored only 20 points all season long.

“After Friday, we’re just trying to find something that works,” Averett said. “We looked awful on Friday. We couldn’t move the ball passing or running. The defense played really well. They kept us in it; we got several turnovers and gave the offense a chance, so we just gotta find something to move the ball.”

Averett said he and the

Hill and the General defense have been strong this season, but the offense hasn’t kept up.

rest of the coaching staff could be looking to make some changes during the bye week in hopes of recharging the offense.

“It might be a different offense or different personnel, whatever it is,” Averett said.

“Coaching-wise, we kinda talked about that a little bit yesterday.

So (Wednesday) and (Thursday), we’re just going to try some different things and see what works best.”

While it was the offensive line that was clearly struggling the most early on, Averett said it was a combination of difficulties that caused the shutout loss to Loachapoka.

“We had a bunch of high snaps and dropped snaps, missed handoffs,” Averett said. “Then on

top of that, we didn’t block real well so it was just a bad night all around offensively.”

Defensively, that wasn’t the case though.

The Generals racked up four interceptions last week with picks from Holt Tidwell, Chandler Lewis, Stephon Buchanan and Lupe Mancillas.

Linebacker Dakota Hill was also a defensive standout, leading the team in tackles.

“The defense has been playing well all year,” Averett said. “We’ve just struggled to put up any points.”

Horseshoe Bend also got disappointing news a few weeks ago, as Grant Taylor went down with an injury. Taylor will have to have surgery on his shoulder and will be out for the remainder of the

season. He was the only true returning starter for the Generals and was a leader both on and off the field.

Still working with a young group, Averett did say he’s had some pleasant surprises with some of his younger players.

“We knew a lot of the freshmen were going to have to play so a few of them have stepped up,” Averett said. “Holt was great two weeks ago. (Sophomore) Trent Cotney has been playing well for us. He’s been at corner and he’s done a great job.”

Averett did give a brief update on the recent players’ departures, saying he’s hoping to have a few who have changed their minds and will return to the team.
