County passes budget

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2018

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The Tallapoosa County Commission passed a budget last week that will leave it in the black.

“We are projecting a small surplus in the operating budget of about $147,000,” county administrator Blake Beck said. “That will mean revenue will exceed expenditures by that much.”

It was not easy, considering an increase in the cost of health insurance and some property assessments were not coming in as expected.

“Health insurance went up about 5 percent,” Beck said. “That cost us about $70,000 county wide.”

Just over the last three years, costs have increased more than $240,000.

The 5-percent increase this year is See BUDGET • Page A8

The New Site Town Council passed its budgets for the new fiscal year, heard where things stood on the town clinic project and discussed the issue of the old New Site gymnasium at Monday night’s council meeting.

During a recent work session, the council found where things stood on redoing the gym to turn it into a practice facility for Horseshoe Bend School’s volleyball and basketball programs. According to Mayor Phil Blasingame, the two main questions on See NEW SITE • Page A3

veryone pays taxes of some form – property tax, income tax, sales tax and gasoline tax to name some. But in Tallapoosa County, just what funds are available to do roadwork?

“Basically the highway department works out of three revenues,” Tallapoosa County administrator Blake Beck said. “The main one is the gasoline tax fund.”

The gasoline tax is assessed at the time of purchase, collected by the state and redistributed to counties for use in highway departments.

Tallapoosa County receives about $1.8 million in gasoline tax funds. About $200,000 in funding the See ROADS • Page A3

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.

“We are very fortunate to have the foster care staff that we have,” Floyd said. “They have challenging case loads to have to handle.”

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.

“We need foster parents, especially for teens,” Prince said. “The need is far greater for children over the age of 2.”

Floyd added, “We also need parents who can serve as therapeutic foster parents for our children with medical needs. Our children’s needs are so varied.”

department comes from fees associated with drivers licenses and tags. The county highway department has a budget of about $3.7 million.

The difference is made up from the road bridge property tax but most of it goes to debt service.

Five mils of ad valorem or property tax is collected for the road and bridge fund and 8.5 mils is collected for the general fund.

In general, the county has a $17.1 million budget for fiscal year 2019. Of that, 10 percent is for debt service and the remaining part of the budget is basically equally spilt between government operations, the highway department and public safety. Under public safety is the sheriff’s department, the county jail, courthouse security, the coroner’s office and the Tallapoosa County EMA. Unlike a sales tax, where the higher the purchase price the higher the tax, the gasoline tax is purely a consumption tax.

“It is a per gallon tax,” Beck said. “It is not a percentage tax.”

The last time the gasoline tax was increased was in 1992 it was raised 5 cents a gallon. In the 25 plus years since, a lot has changed with automobiles and travel habits have changed.

“The challenge with a per-gallon tax is that over time, cars have become very efficient and one of the things people do in an economic turndown is they don’t travel as much,” Beck said. “They spend less on travel. Even though gas prices are five times what they were 30 years ago, basically the gas tax has not changed.”

While there is no local gasoline tax assessed, there are two other funding sources for roads but one is restricted and the other has no requirement it be spent on roads. “’Secondary Roads’ moneys can only be spent on unpaved roads and matching federal funds,” county engineer David Moore said.

“There is not a lot you can do with it,” Beck said.

Another source of funds for the highway department is the ‘3R’ funds and some of those funds are being freed up.

“We have picked up a little there because we paid off bonds,” Beck said.

At one time, the county had as many as eight or nine bond issues but will soon be down to two after fiscal year 2019.

Another issue is the increasing cost of roadwork. A mile of asphalt is about $120,000 and does not include any real work many roads need for the investment to last.

“That is just for resurfacing,” Beck said.

“Most roads need other work that adds up. We have not seen a decrease in road material that you might expect based on what has happened with oil. Revenue keeps staying static but costs keep going up; that is what keeps creating the disparity.”

Many citizens think when they are writing the check for property taxes it goes to roads, but they don’t realize what all it actually goes to or how it is distributed. Many do not know how the different functions of the Tallapoosa County Commission are funded and it is hard to understand.

“The majority of people think ad valorem pays for roads,” commissioner John McKelvey said. “It doesn’t and it is hard to explain.”

New Site everyone’s mind were, who will inspect the project, and if the money is spent to complete the work, will the town be assured a permit to use the gym?

Later in the week, Tallapoosa County Board of Education member Betty Carol Graham asked for a meeting with Blasingame, council members Michael East and Mickey Carter, county commissioner John McKelvey and county building inspector Todd Flurry to go over the matter. During this meeting, Flurry was given all the information on the project, while he said he did not realize the building had been rezoned. While Flurry said he was not as familiar with the new zoning, A-3, he said he would research the classification. It was also determined, even if the council voted immediately to prepare a required life safety plan, that would not open the building up for usage.

“Why are we stuck here?” councilman Billy Daniel said. “Was the state fire marshal not looking at everything when he inspected the building?”

To try and move the matter forward, the council approved getting the town attorney involved to fully confirm, in writing, everything that will need to be done to open the gym as a practice facility for Horseshoe Bend athletics.

“No matter what we decide, we have to have our attorney involved,” Blasingame said.

Daniel added, “I’m satisfied with what I’ve heard. I don’t like it, but I’m satisfied with it.”

After reading resolutions about the general fund budget and the water budget, the council unanimously approved both proposed budgets for fiscal year 2019, giving the town solid financial footing to

Take the time to enjoy fall

A

s 2018 continues to move forward and the calendar flips from September to October, the temperatures are beginning to cool down, the days are growing shorter and the year is heading for its conclusion.

Just because the warmer, longer days of summer have left us behind does not mean there are not things to enjoy around the area. The Alexander City Parks and Recreation Department is preparing for the 38th annual Oktoberfest in the Alexander City Sportplex on Oct. 13 from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. The City of Dadeville is holding its annual Fall Festival in downtown Dadeville this Saturday beginning at 9 a.m.

This year’s fall festival includes the second annual Ducky Ward Memorial Soap Box Derby and Car Show.

Nature is giving us a show of its own as well. Leaves on the trees are changing colors, going from green to yellow, red, orange and brown. Soon, these leaves will be falling off the trees, decorating the ground with the same vibrant colors as are still hanging from the branches. Though there are not as many leaves that have changed color right now, more and more will turn over the next few weeks, painting the area with a variety of hues.

Whether you go to events put on by our local community leaders or drive around to watch the leaves change, take the time to enjoy all the things taking place throughout our area. Life may be busy, but slowing down and having a little fun can make a big difference. Our leaders work hard to put these events on, while time spent in nature can be a calming and enjoyable experience.

Don’t let the end of summer mean you decide to “hibernate” and don’t get out much until next year. There is still a lot going on, so enjoy the fall and its many activities.

A reason to celebrate

L

ast week, I wrote an email to my contact at one of the newspapers for whom I write that I was taking an indefinite break from writing. Writing an article week in and week out becomes incredibly tedious. I’m sure some people get tired of reading about the way I talk and my travels. I know they get tired of reading about my dogs and the dirt road. They may even get tired of reading about the farmhouse, the family and Baby Abigail, who was, of course, born seven and half weeks early in the back of an ambulance on Friday the 13th. Y’all, she’s about to be a year old. Now, that’s scary.

Truth be told, I told her that it would most likely be a permanent break. Two of my favorite editors, and favorite people period, were no longer in the picture. One had moved on, while the other went to be with the Lord. I’d actually thought about taking a longer break previously but was loyal to them for giving me the opportunity to write. The standards of professionalism didn’t change with the papers, but big changes were going on in my world.

We’d moved way out into the country and were just trying to get settled into the old Fuller home place, known as Terrapin Slide.

When you factor in the wife, two girls, five dogs, a cat and this writer’s busy schedule and flare ups with PTSD and such, it was just a lot to handle. I didn’t go into all that detail with my newspaper contact, but I simply didn’t think it was worth my time.

And then a funny thing happened.

Due to speaking obligations, mostly out

JODY FULLER Columnist of state, I’d missed the previous three Sundays at Eagle Creek Baptist Church but was there on Sept. 30 for a very special celebration. Debbie Brewer and Vicky Patterson, the organist and pianist, respectively, celebrated their 50th year of playing together. Our pastor, the amazing Dr. Tim Thompson said they started playing together when they were four. He wasn’t far off. Milestones such as this are unheard of, should be celebrated, and are true testaments of faithfulness and commitment. Bravo, ladies. Bravo. May God continue to bless you, so that you may continue to bless us.

It’s a wonderful little church. Tim says it’s a little church with big music. The people are quite wonderful, too. There are a couple of ladies from Opelika who attend regularly after reading an article I wrote where I mentioned Brother Tim. Before walking into the sanctuary, a gentleman shook my hand and told me how much he enjoyed reading my columns. He said it’s the first thing he turns to each week.

Ed told me he got a kick out of a recent article about Lucy not knowing the words to the church’s “theme song.” It was actually the chorus to “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,” which is what we sing while holding hands at the end of each service.

Because of this, they now put the lyrics on the screen for all to see and sing.

Ms. Peggy told me repeatedly that she loved to read my column. I mean she really loved to read it.

She told me twice. Ed told me that his brother was a big fan of my writing.

Then, there was another guy who had to ask who I was. After getting his answer, he told me he liked reading my stuff and that I was almost as funny as him.

Through my writing, I have been able to educate, entertain, motivate and inspire, usually with a little bit of humor and a side-helping of something to think about, at least that’s what they tell me.

Who knew?

I guess when it’s all said and done, it is absolutely worth my time. I pray to have the commitment of Debbie and Vicky and put half-a-hundred in the books. That’ll be reason to celebrate.

Let me brag on Eagle Creek one more time.

These folks sho’ nuff know how to cook. The celebration culminated with lunch, and I have never seen so much food in my life. As an Army guy, that’s saying a lot. They had more fried chicken than the colonel, two trays of pear salad and five, count them five platters of deviled eggs. Y’all come celebrate with us one Sunday ̾ any Sunday. I might even write a story about it. But, I won’t be there this Sunday, I already have a commitment somewhere else.

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!

Left: Despite the many issues the Tallapoosa County DHR sees when working with children in foster care, Cynthia Walls said she has seen a number of success stories during her time with the department. Right: Lewis Prince mentioned how there are 71 children in foster care in Tallapoosa County, but only 14 certified foster homes, a gap that needs to be addressed, especially for teenagers in foster care. Below: Tallapoosa County DHR Director Brenda Floyd speaks with the Dadeville Kiwanis Club last Thursday, talking about the need for foster parents throughout the county.

Kiwanis 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.

“We are blessed with a great sense of caring spirit in the community,” Prince said. “Not only have we taught classes at churches around the area, we can now teach our classes in the home with potential foster parents.”

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.

“I used to be a foster child myself. I was also a foster parent,” Amason said. “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.”

While he felt it was concerning to hear the numbers Floyd and her coworkers were giving, Phil Evers told the four, “It’s really encouraging to hear you all talk and present to us.”

Other questions from the Kiwanians included what it takes to be a foster parent and how many places like the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Girls Ranch there are around the state.

“It’s a 10-week class,” Floyd said. “We also

continued from page A1

go through all other necessary steps like background checks.”

In addition to the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’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.

“We are in desperate need of foster parents,” Floyd said. “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.”

An Alabama Power utility truck tipped over on Highway 49 in front of the new Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources building last Thursday. The bucket caught on utility lines when it tipped over, complicating efforts to clear the scene.

Traffic backed up in both directions as officials with Alabama Power, Charter and AT&T worked to keep the lines intact while the truck was brought back upright.

The county will sell some equipment and pair the resulting funds with about $400,000 in reserves to purchase $1.3 million in equipment. But if cash flow is an issue in Janurary, Beck said he may come back to the commission to finance some of the $400,000.

“We are going to pay cash for it instead of financing,” Beck said.

“Keep in mind that is what we want to do today.

If the equipment sale does not go as expected or we are in a cash crunch, we may come back and finance some of that.”

The budget includes merit raises for those eligible and an increase for starting pay for the deputy sheriff along with a new deputy to help with retention.

“The additional deputy will allow them to go to a four on, four off schedule,” Beck said.

“They feel like going to that will help keep deputies.”

The starting pay will go up more quickly to help keep younger officers.

“At the starting end, we start lower than most agencies around,” Beck said. “If they stay long enough we pay better.

The key is getting them to stay long.”

Beck wants to make sure everyone understands cash flow for the county.

“We see most of it by the end of January,” Beck said. “Then it starts to flow again in November.”

This is timed with payment of property tax and Beck wants to make sure the county stays in a good financial position all year with its reserves.

“It is something we need to protect,” he said.

“We need to make sure we always have at least six to eight weeks at a minimum to be able to make payroll.”

Benefits are a large cost most do not realize and employees may like them, but they are not directly paid to them.

“Employee benefits are about 28 percent,” Beck said. “They are a cost of doing business. That is money our employees don’t really see because they can’t spend it.”

The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Commission is Oct. 8 at 9 a.m. at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville.

going to be covered by the county, but Beck says the commission will have to revisit how to fund future increases in insurance. It is something the commission has faced in the past.

“It will be a decision in future budgets as to how to fund the extra costs,” Beck said. “We are at about $1.3 million to provide health and dental to our employees today.”

“We have had a 25-percent increase in the past,” commissioner T.C. Coley said. “It was a bear.”

Currently the county is funding the insurance for six employees that will cost the county $90,000 next year.

The budget includes $110,00 for tourism.

Three quarters of that will be for the salary and benefit of one person and the rest to fund the office costs and needed advertising.

Revenues will not change much from last year.

“Property tax is basically flat. We had a slight increase. Sabal Trail assessment was several hundred thousand less than projected.

That impacted us about $100,000. That was offset primarily by increases around the lake.”

Beck said the county was “expecting revenues to be flat” for the next year, but will see a little growth.

“We are seeing a slight growth in the general fund and also a little in gasoline. That can be attributed to a robust economy,” Beck told the commission. “Areas where we are seeing growth in the general fund are things typically driven by the economy – tag fees inspection fees and such.”

Some savings will come from retirement incentives and a few other places.

“The retirement incentive is $10,000 for employees of 25 years or more of service,” Beck said. “Some of the positions we will not replace. One of the positions will likely be a lower position if filled.

That is where the savings come.”

The county is even seeing some savings from retired employees.

It is expected some employees will retire, creating savings in the

Take part in your homecoming festivities

I

’ve written this before, but I’ll say it again — high school is one of those times you’ll never get back.

Some call it the “glory days.” Some say high school was the best times of their lives.

I’m not actually one of those people. I hated high school. It was tough personally and academically, and it wasn’t until I was in college when I really figured out who I was.

That being said, some of my best memories come from high school.

My best friend in the world is a girl I met in high school. I fell in love for the first time during high school. I got in trouble and stayed out too late and had to cover for my brother.

Whether I was miserable at the time or not, looking back on high school, I remember things fondly.

And I didn’t have a typical high school experience. I went to an extremely small school that catered toward kids with academic struggles; I didn’t have a football team or pep rallies or homecoming dances.

I did however have a senior prom and was furious when I wasn’t voted prom queen above the 15 other girls in my class. But that’s a story for a different day.

By being a high school sports reporter for so long, I’ve gotten to relive some of the best parts of high school — parts I didn’t even always experience myself.

Anyway, it’s homecoming week for Benjamin Russell and Horseshoe Bend, and a few other area schools are gearing up for their homecomings. The only year I went to the homecoming dance, I almost chickened out. I was dating a new guy from a different school and I would have to attend the dance at his school where I didn’t know many people. I also just wasn’t much of a joiner in high school.

But for this one night, I decided to join in, maybe just to see what all the fuss was about. I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t have a great time. I mostly stayed off to one corner with the handful of people I knew and didn’t dance much. But, I remember that night. That’s the point I’m trying to make.

Some experiences in high school won’t always be the best. I went to Benjamin Russell’s pep rally Friday — I’m about 99 percent sure it was the first pep rally I’ve ever attended.

On the one hand, it was horrible — too much noise and cheering and chaos. On the other hand, it was amazing — so much school spirit and so much to celebrate.

While you have the chance, don’t skip out on these experiences. Even if you think it’ll be horrible or not worth your time, it might not be. You might hate it. But it’ll be memorable, See ARBOGAST • Page B2

Trey O’Neal (12) and the Rebels are looking to respond well after their first loss.

By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For The Record

Two area volleyball teams on the rise tangled Monday afternoon with the Class 4A Holtville Bulldogs knocking off the home-standing Class 2A Reeltown Rebels 2-0 (25-17 and 25-10).

“I was excited about how they performed,” Bulldogs coach Allison Franklin said. “We’d put together a new rotation. Today was a lot of working out the kinks, getting out libero changes down; just getting ready for the second half of the season.”

With October starting, the number of matches leading up to the area tournament is dwindling for both squads.

Reeltown, a program in its second year, showed bits and pieces of promise during Monday’s loss. Despite the flashes, the See VOLLEYBALL • Page B2

After suffering a loss for the first time this year, Reeltown football coach Matt Johnson

outplayed physically.

But after taking some time over the weekend to reflect, Johnson came up with the perfect analogy for the Rebels See REELTOWN • Page B2

and at the time you may dislike it but you’ll look back on it fondly.

Go to the homecoming dance.

Don’t skip the pep rallies. Come to your school’s football games.

Attend the parades. Get involved.

These are all days you won’t be able to get back.

moving forward.

“The message (Monday) was when you get in the driver’s seat, you gotta look in the rearview mirror just to make sure everything is how it should be,” Johnson said. “After that, if you’re going to drive forward, you can’t stare in the mirror anymore. So once we put this thing in drive again, we’ve gotta just keep moving forward.”

Moving forward will be a tall task for the Rebels, who don’t get a break this week as they play host to Thorsby, which moved up to No. 4 in the most recent Alabama Sports Writers Association poll.

And barring any bigtime upsets in the latter half of the season, Friday’s game will decide Class 2A Region 4.

Reeltown enters with a 5-1 record while Thorsby sits at a perfect 6-0, but both are 3-0 in the region and both have already beaten LaFayette, which currently sits at No. 3 in the region.

Because Johnson preaches physicality and because he also knows what Thorsby is capable of, the focus throughout the week is bringing back that nose-to-theground, grinding Rebel football.

“That’s what we gotta get back to,” Johnson said. “If we didn’t learn anything else from last Friday night, we learned that. If we don’t show up this Friday being extremely physical on both sides of the ball, I’m gonna be extremely disappointed. That is one thing we are going to fix.”

Reeltown’s defense is going to have its hands full against a Thorsby team that’s averaging 36 points per game.

Thorsby is led by quarterback Michael Fortner.

“Their quarterback is similar to what we saw last week,” Johnson said. “He is their best football player on offense. He runs the ball well. He runs the offense well, and he throws the ball as good as

inconsistency was too much and coach Kelli Hilyer started a brief practice session shortly after the match ended.

“We volleyed the ball well and we were moving back and forth pretty well,” Hilyer said. “We got some good serves in, but we’ve got to get more consistent when we are serving.”

Kaylyn Dismukes led the Bulldogs with nine kills. Karsyn Findley and Alexus Hindman were also factors in the first-game victory.

Reeltown was led by Tania Haynes and Eryn Wells, who combined for a mixture of blocks at the nets and bumps to keep volleys alive.

“I tell them that I want us to get better each set,” Hilyer said. “If you don’t win the set, you learn from it. That’s our goal. So when we get to the area tournament we are ready.”

In the first game of the best-ofthree series, Holtville pushed ahead 8-3 then after a series of quick points 11-3.

Reeltown, though, began to string a series of points together and closed the gap to six at 22-16.

But, a kill and back-to-back aces ended the first game.

Nyla Hayden scored seven straight points on seven serves in the Set 1 loss.

“We’ve talked about finishing.

We had a big lead in game one and gave up the lead. But we figured out how to get the serve back,” Franklin said. “You can’t tell this is a second-year program. Kelli has done a great job.”

Set 2 was nip and tuck early with the Rebels taking the lead early.

Holtville, which had a focus of finishing the game, put the words to work and pushed ahead 21-10 en route to the 25-10 victory.

For Reeltown, playing a schedule that features larger teams will help prepare them for tournaments down the road.

“They know that the plan is to play teams like this so that when you get to those tournaments, you are used to playing those larger schools,” Hilyer said. “They understand that.”

Pike Road, Tallassee, Handley, Dadeville and Marbury remain on the schedule for the Bulldogs.

Reeltown’s road to the regular season end has it hosting rival Dadeville, hosting Fayetteville in the final area match of the season then traveling to Beulah.

Both the Rebels and the Bulldogs will converge on Eclectic in the coming days to take part in the Elmore County High Block Party (tournament).

Reeltown fans are hoping to have something to celebrate again this Friday night.

anybody we’ve seen. He’s a very good ballplayer.”

In front of Fortner is a solid offensive line and a well-balanced attack that can threaten both on the ground and through the air.

“Their entire offensive line is really good,” Johnson said. “If we don’t do what we’re supposed to do, they’ll beat us up front and it’ll be the same story as last week.”

Defensively, Johnson pointed to several people who the Rebels’ offense will have to watch out for. Jacob Lockhart, Brody Barnett, Tim Birchfield and Brian Belk are all defensive standouts.

Although there’s already pressure to perform for Reeltown, which dropped to No. 6 in Class 2A after its loss, the bigger focus is the region implications this game

holds.

“If we have to talk about with our team what the implications are with this game, the focus is in the wrong place anyway,” Johnson said. “It’s a big game ’cause it’s the next one, and it’s also a situation we haven’t been in this year where we have a very, very bad taste in our mouth and this is the next opportunity to change that.”

Johnson said he feels like he’ll learn more about his team Friday than he has up to this point.

“This will be a huge test of where we are,” he said. “Not to put any added pressure, but this is going to be a standpoint on where we are, more so than last week. It’s going to show us how we overcome adversity. This is something new for us. How are we going to respond? Because the challenge is still there.”

Tigers hips on double teams. When you double team somebody, you’re really responsible for two people. Your hips have to come together and you gotta drive the guy while looking up to see where the linebacker is coming. We’re not doing that. Our hips are coming together and one guy is splitting a double team, or we’ll come off of him too soon then the other guy has himself in position to take him and he’ll make the tackle.

“It’s just little stuff like that. Or we just block the wrong person. On a speed option, we’re blocking the end we’re supposed to be reading instead of going to the linebacker and sealing that up.”

In additions to struggles on the line, the Tiger receivers are also having difficulty learning their routes or blocking the incorrect defenders during a rushing play. But White said the most frustrating part is he believes they know their jobs and their assignments.

“It gets frustrating as a coach that they’re still doing these things,” White said.

“When I can sit them down in (the film room), they can tell me exactly what route

Dadeville’s Josh Taylor runs behind the blocks of teammates Preston McAdory and Luke Keel. The Tigers are still looking to find some success offensively.

they’re supposed to run and most of the times who they’re supposed to block.

But it’s almost like when the lights come on, they go into ‘I don’t want to mess up’ mode.”

Dadeville will have a tough battle against

Montgomery Academy in Class 3A Region 3 action.

The Eagles (3-3, 1-2) have won their last two games and held both opponents to 23 points or less. They base out of a 4-3 but will move their linebackers around depending on what the

offense is showing.

For the Tigers (2-4, 1-2), the defense will have to play up to its recent potential as Montgomery Academy is averaging nearly 24 points per game.

“They have a good quarterback (Daniel Lindsay) and he can scramble,” White said. “Their receivers do a good job of getting themselves in position when the quarterback scrambles to catch the football. If we get the quarterback in the scrambling mode, we have to do a good job of not coming off our receivers.

We’re going to have to let our linebackers and defensive front handle him, or he’ll burn us like he has other people.”

Although Dadeville isn’t having the season it expected, it’s still tied for fourth in the region along with MA and Bullock County, but the Tigers need to learn how to win, according to White.

“Winning breeds winning, just like losing breeds losing, and there comes a point in time where as a football player, you have to put the brakes on and say, ‘Enough is enough,’” White said.

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 Ã…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 undeÄned 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.

Mollie Bethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MDA walk set for Oct. 20

By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

On the outside, Mollie Beth Preston looks like a typical 8-year-old girl.

But on the inside, she is battling an illness that affects almost every aspect of her tiny body.

Mollie, of Slapout, has Hashimotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease, an autoimmune disorder that can cause the immune system to attack the thyroid, causing hypothyroidism or underactive thyroid.

Without enough thyroid hormones, many of the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s functions slow down.

She also suffers from juvenile dermatomyositis, an inflammatory disease of the muscle, skin, and blood vessels that affects about three in one million children each year. The cause is unknown. The primary symptoms of JDM include muscle weakness and skin rash.

Mollie has been plagued by these devastating illnesses for almost three years now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When she was 6 years old she became very sick, out of nowhere,â&#x20AC;? Mollie Bethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother Jessica Preston said.

Last year Mollie Beth was able to escape the limits of her disease when she attended Alabamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Special Camp for Children and Adults,

better known as Camp ASCCA, on Lake Martin.

While there, she enjoyed zip lining, swimming, dancing and horseback riding, among other fun camping activities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She came home and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all she talked about,â&#x20AC;? Jessica said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has made so many friends through the camp and they have stayed in contact.â&#x20AC;?

There is never a fee for campers who attend Camp ASCCA. The fees are paid through donations and other funding.

After spending five days at Camp ASCCA, Mollie Beth decided she wanted to pay it forward and raise money for the organization that brought so much fun and joy to her life by creating Submitted / The Record a Muscular Dystrophy Mollie Beth Prestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MDA walk is set for Oct. 20 at 9 a.m. at the Montgomery Zoo. Preston, 8, Association walk. This encourages everyone to join her as she raises awareness and funds for the Muscular Dystrophy is the second year the Association.

Mollie Beth team has participated in the annual While Hashimotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dermatomyositis are MDA, the effects on the event. disease and juvenile different illnesses than body can be very similar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had a team that raised $2,500,â&#x20AC;?

Jessica said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This money goes to the MDA but they use it to help children go If you began working in a to camp because they do not charge the campers.â&#x20AC;?

According to Jessica, this event is not a Cotton mill competition.

Tire plant â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a race,â&#x20AC;? she Paper mill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is more of a show of support and Steel mill anyone can join.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day to day,â&#x20AC;?

Jessica. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some days are good and some days are not so good. Her body is fighting. Her schedule, germs, the sun, her diet, all limits her but on the outside, she looks normal.

That can be frustrating.â&#x20AC;?

Jessica says seeing Mollie Beth deal with the effects of these illnesses has been difficult to watch because she was and still is a strong-willed child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was so strong and outgoing, but now there are things that she canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anymore,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She still wants to do those things, like play in the sun, but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just not able to.â&#x20AC;?

Mollie Bethâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MDA walk is set for Oct. 20 beginning at 9 a.m. at the Montgomery Zoo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can also stay and visit the zoo afterward,â&#x20AC;?

Jessica said.
