PHYSICAL THERAPY SERVICES OF PIEDMONT IN FULL SWING Rehab therapy offered MARGARET ANDERSON Journal Correspondent

Fall activities planned for city Meeting tonight at 6 p.m. at Solid Rock

Those who live in Piedmont and surrounding areas now have access to a new outpatient physical therapy clinic. Physical Therapy Services of Piedmont, which opened on Aug. 5, is located near Piedmont Health Care Center.

Brandi Stouder, who has been a physical therapist for the past 16 years, will work at the clinic. She said she’s glad to be associated with the new facility.

“We offer anything from general strengthening after someone has been hospitalized to working with patients who have had orthopedic surgery such as total hip replacements, knee or shoulder replacements,” she said. “We work with patients who have pain issues, including back pain or those who have had back surgery. We also work with those who have balance issues.”

Stouder said these are only a few of the services the clinic offers.

“The things I’ve mentioned are just a general overview of what we do,” she said. “We’re capable of doing a lot of different things.”

Usually, said Stouder, it takes anywhere from two to four weeks for improvement after having the physical therapy.

PHCC assistant administrator Freda Fagan said everyone is pleased with the clinic.

“It’s an asset to the community,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of people tell us they’re really glad we have something to help people here and in the surrounding area.”

Examples of diagnosis, which may indicate the need for outpatient physical therapy include stroke, amputation or cardiac disease.

Preferred Health Services of Centre is the management company that contracted with PHCC

Physical therapist Brandi Stouder works with Jerry Masters of Piedmont. Masters owns the OK Tire store in town.

There are plenty of fall activities planned for Piedmont.

First is the Old Fashion Country Fair on Oct. 19 followed by the Downtown Trick or Treat on Oct. 31. The Christmas Festival and parade is on Dec. 14.

“Folks we are going to need a lot of help to make these events happen,” Dan Freeman said in an email. “They have grown to a point where three or four people just can’t handle everything anymore.

“I have called for a meeting for Wednesday Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. at the Solid Rock Cafe to discuss the Country Fair. I have broken the event down into four groups: the car show, the tractor show, the arts and crafts, and the food vendors. Think about where you would fit best and let us know.

“These events are so important to our survival downtown, and it’s just as important that they happen smoothly and without incident.”

OPINION/EDITORIAL

Making football safer Finally, enough parents are concerned about head and other bodily injuries to football players that coaches are taking notice. It’s about time.

There are several reasons why change is imminent: parents and players are upset about the news that officials did not report the seriousness of concussions, many aging football players are now struggling with football-related health problems, and people are questioning whether so much aggression is necessary to the enjoyment of the game. Addressing these issues might change the game for the better, but some people don’t think so.

Some leaders in the sports industry fear that football will become dull to watch. Team owners and coaches fear that fewer fans will mean less revenue for the professional teams. Coaches of young people are worried about the end of a sport they love; and they,

Sherry Kughn Sherry-Go-Round too, may be forced to trim budgets if interest in football wanes. What is more important, though, than good health?

An Indianapolis, Indiana-based group called USA Football consists of high school coaches and other youth sports leaders who want the game to stay around and be safer. They meet periodically to discuss issues related to youth football. The medical director for the organization had something to say about the drop in participation

in youth sports last year. “We have to evolve,” he said in a March 3 article in “USA Today.”

“If we don’t, we are going to be yesterday’s news.”

Those of us who remember the times before the 1970s when coaches (and band directors) did not give water breaks. (I was in the band.) It was considered a sign of strength to practice in 80and 90-degree weather without drinking water. However, medical professionals studied and released information about the dangers of heat stroke. Coaches and everyone else involved in outdoor youth activities heeded the information and experienced no downturn in participation.

As a grandmother of a 12-yearold football player, I was pleased to find and read the “USA Today” article, if only to ease some of my anxiety about him getting injured. I read in the article that the recommendations the USA Football

group is making to improve the safety of the game. They are as follows: spot concussions, which are not always immediately apparent after a player has been injured. new way of tackling called rip. It is a way the tackler should grab the back of a jersey instead of wrapping the arms around the ball carrier. aggression on the field and teach players other techniques of playing safer. will be implemented, such as encouraging fans and cheerleaders to use less aggressive words toward their team’s foes.

I will admit to being an unsupportive mother of two high school football players back during the 1990s. I could not bear to watch them get injured. I was happy when

each one quit playing after only a season, decisions each made alone.

My lack of support for their desire to play probably contributed in a small way toward their decisions, but at least neither of them ever had a concussion or a broken bone from playing football.

During my grandson’s first junior-high game last week, I never felt as if the players were playing too aggressively. Maybe the word about making football a safer game has reached his coaches.

Coaches are trained teachers, and like all other teachers, they should have the best interest of the students and players foremost in their minds. If they can resolve these current issues, football will survive, parents will be happier, and football players will be safer.

Go to the search engine to read the “USA Today” article and type in “Coaches gather to fix football.”

It’s not the same America where I grew up This week marks the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attack on America.

Their mission was well planned and executed.

The devastation and death surrounding the bombing of New York’s World Trade Center was analogous to the Japanese attack of The day that will live in infamy, as declared by America’s elected king, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Most of us were not alive nor do we remember that day. However, most of us vividly remember September 11, 2001.

Today, everything is recorded instantly by television or the internet. The stark reality of those kamikaze attacks is etched indelibly in our memories. It is the type of visceral memory that will stay with you forever. It is a day that you will always remember where you were when the news was delivered. In my case, it compares to the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas.

Steve Flowers

Inside The Statehouse thought that the first attack was an accident, a plane that went awry.

However, when the second plane hit you knew that it was no accident.

We indeed live in a different world today than the one I grew up in during the 1950’s and 60’s. We also live in a different United States of America. Our nation has always been a melting pot. However, we are really a diverse pot of gumbo today.

My childhood was typical and exemplified the America of 60 years ago. I grew up on Maple Street in

Troy, Alabama. Most folks were born and raised in small towns across America. We grew up in a Norman Rockwell world where we got up on summer mornings and played baseball in our front yards with our neighborhood friends. By the way, we had not locked our doors when we went to bed the night before. We were either white or black and we primarily went to Baptist or Methodist churches on Sunday.

Today’s demographical world more likely reveals a scenario where the average child born today is not sure of his ethnicity. If he is born in a metropolitan location, like New York or Los Angeles, when he walks out his front door on a summer morning, instead of curveballs he is dodging bullets from the neighborhood gangs.

Census figures reveal that last year for the first time ever Caucasians recorded more deaths than births.

This statistic confirms the aging of the white population as well as

lower birth rates than minorities. percent of the U.S. population.

Demographers predict that by 2050, if current trends continue, whites might become the minority.

During just the past year, the United State’s population had a 3 percent growth in the Asian population. Hispanics grew 2.2 percent and now represent close to 17 percent of the U.S. population.

Approximately one in six Americans is Hispanic. They are a larger part of the U.S. population than African Americans, which comprise 13 percent of America’s population.

Blacks grew by only 1.3 percent last year. White growth was zero.

This reflects a common thread that has prevailed for several years.

In the next few years, folks born during the 1930’s and World War II will turn 80. These people will be followed by the first baby boomers.

Most of these Americans are white.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the white population will continue to

shrink in America.

William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution, predicts that white retirees will be on the receiving end of an economy, which will be fueled largely by the efforts of Hispanics, African Americans and Asians. Frey sees the next few decades as almost an inversion of the 20th century when the white middle class was the engine of our economic growth.

In this century, the United States’ young people are from Mexico, Guatemala, China and India. These immigrants by and large will inherit America. They will be the ones who will be taking care of us baby boomers. This trend does not nationwide.

Why are we surprised about what’s happening in DC Many have puzzled over what’s happening in our country today. We need to remember what changed everything and dragged America into national mediocrity and worse. Candidate Obama declared in 2008, “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

What did we expect from a man who was raised under Islam and atheism, socialism and Black Liberation Theology? Did we expect him and his coalition of political and media elite to espouse traditional moral values and Christian virtue as other great leaders and movements?

Or, did we expect our nation to stagnate into a tepid economic “recovery,” or to become a weak-kneed nation whining about a fictional riot killing our ambassador and three other brave Americans without responding militarily

against crowing forces of al Qaeda who gave interviews to western news outlets, but whom nobody in this administration can locate?

We observe two anniversaries of 9-11, the first in 2001 when radical Islamic cowards crashed planes in America killing nearly 3,000 innocent souls, and the second in 2012 when in real time Gregory Hicks, former Deputy Chief of Missions in Libya, pleaded with Washington to send help for Americans under a terrorist attack that stretched over eight hours. No help was sent.

Obama, Hillary, and Susan Rice blamed a YouTube video and vowed to get the producer of that video…but no one in this administration has done anything to retaliate against the al Qaeda affiliated terrorists who murdered our people.

America has been transformed from a nation willing to fight back against religious

Daniel Gardner My Thoughts fanatics who declared war against us and our values and virtues, into a nation that tolerates Islamic terrorist acts, calling them workplace violence and preventing our own veterans and families from receiving due compensation for injuries and deaths suffered in terrorist attacks.

And when Muslims kill tens of thousands of other Muslims in Syria’s civil war, our leader vacillates between red lines, pushing for punishing a Muslim leader for killing his own Muslim citi-

zens, while a few countries over Muslim leaders are killing Christians by the tens of thousands in Egypt and neither our political nor media elite register any horror over those slaughtered souls who forgive their torturers even as they die.

Christian values and virtues stand in stark contrast with Muslim extremism and violence there. Should we have expected anything else from Obama and his elite coalition?

Half of our voters have been lulled into the Keynesian fog of government big enough to meet all our needs if we’ll just take benefits and do whatever the government tells us to do.

Freedom? Who needs freedom when government pays more than working a real job?

We’re citizens of the world now, not proud, independent Americans who can rise to any height or position through grit, hard work, and determi-

Jane Minton has three children in college She likes the flexibility of her job

J

ane Minton’s children are doing exactly what she wants them to do. They’re getting their education. All three of them are attending Jacksonville State University.

Wesley, 23, is a senior.

He wants to be a physical therapist and is majoring in exercise science. Addie Jane, 20, is a sophomore. She is majoring in communications. Sara Beth, 18, is a freshman. She wants to pursue a degree in nursing.

Jane is proud of all three of them, even though it comes close to putting her and her husband, Ken, in a class by themselves by having three children attending the same college at the same time.

“I feel very blessed that my children are all capable college students and that we have such a good school so close by,” she said. “I feel thankful and blessed.”

Jane and Ken met at Piedmont High School. They will celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary on Oct. 8.

Jane graduated from JSU on Aug. 15, 1984. Fourteen days later she began her career at Allstate Insurance. In college, she worked for Joe Lively at Lively’s Foodland. She believes that’s where she acquired the basic customer service skills that help her work with the public.

“I meet new people every week and providing great customer service is very important to me and is key to being successful in what I do each day,” she said.

As a property claims adjustor for Allstate, she’s able to work two days a week out of north Alabama or north Georgia the rest of the week.

“I handle large property losses,” she said.

“An example would be if someone’s home burned, if a tornado came through or if anyone suffered a large water loss, I would go out to their home and assess the damage.

I travel to wherever the claim is and handle

a large role in helping my customers put their lives back together after a devastating loss and this is very rewarding to me.”

Jane said being able to work at home has usually make my own schedule,” she said.

“That’s the most important thing to me.

When my children were younger, I could work my schedule around what they were doing. Flexibility is one of the biggest assets of my job. It’s a good balance for my family life.”

Communication. He works out of Carrollton, Ga., but has been working more in Piedmont recently.

Jane’s parents are Linda Brown of Piedmont and Huey Reedy, who resides at Ladiga Manor in Jacksonville.

Her siblings are Keith Reedy of Rome and Beth Reedy, Jonathan Reedy and Bruce Reedy all of Piedmont.

She and her family are members of First Baptist Church where she and Ken help with extended child care. They have also helped with the Piedmont Athletic Booster Club since all of their children were athletes while attending PHS. Jane enjoys walking and riding bikes on the Ladiga Trail with Ken. She also enjoys traveling and shopping. Her favorite thing though is spending time with her family.

“I love being a part of a large family and we have a lot of family gatherings that always center around a large meal,“ she said. “Each of us brings a dish or two and have a great time eating and fellowshipping with each other.”

She likes to cook but doesn’t feel that she’s as good a cook as her mother.

She learned to cook from her mother, grandmother Hulsey and her aunt Lendol Bryan.

“Just this summer, I decided I’d start cooking more and make it a point to cook every Sunday so that my kids would come home more,” she said. “I’m beginning to

for the clinic.

Trudy Lowe,

chief

Preferred Health Services, said the company works with PHCC on operating, management and long term strategy.

“Part of our strategy,” she said, “is to enhance operations and community services. Our outpatient clinic will provide excellent physical therapy for the community. Our physical therapy services will work with patients to achieve the highest level of their functioning and independence.”

Lowe said that physical therapy is a rehabilitative discipline specializing in evaluation, diagnosing and treating physical and functional impairments in patients of all ages.

She pointed out that the overall goal of physical therapy is to improve mobility, strength and functional ability, so that patients can reach their highest functional levels and optimal quality of life.

“Our physical therapists have experience and

advanced training with a variety of impairments caused by conditions including orthopedic conditions, neuromuscular/ neurovascular disorder, stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, cardiac disorders and complex medical problems,” she said.

PHCC administrator Sandra Keener said she’s excited because with the opening of the clinic, those who live in or near Piedmont will no longer have to go elsewhere for therapy.

“Now, they’re able to stay right here at home and get their therapy,” she said.

The facility can handle sports related injuries for the school system and can treat anyone in need of outpatient rehab services who is covered through Medicare and Medicaid.

To schedule appointments call 4478272. A prescription from the patient’s physician and insurance information are required.

Improving Dogs hit road to meet Jackets RIP DONOVAN Journal Sports Correspondent

Now 2-0 and showing continued improvement, Piedmont travels to Glencoe Friday for its second Class 3A, Region 5 game in as many weeks.

“Offensively, they’re a little more dangerous, I think, than they’ve been in the past because of the dual threat quarterback (Dylan Stone). He’s a good runner. He’s added a big dimension to their game.

He throws the ball well and he’s a good runner. In that one-back stuff with the oldest Ozmint kid (Thomas), who’s a good running back, they’ve got a threat with the quarterback keeping it and running it to the back side,” said Piedmont coach Steve Smith. “I think they’re improved on the offensive side and they’re just like they always are on the defensive side, very sound and they get after it good.”

The Yellow Jackets (1-1) will likely enter the Piedmont game with some extra motivation. They had beaten Weaver four consecutive years before the Bearcats won 38-13 at Weaver Friday. Piedmont is riding a five-game winning streak over Glencoe and snapping that run would go a long way toward making Glencoe partisans forget the loss to Weaver. Glencoe’s last win over the Bulldogs came in 2005, when William Hill was coaching the Yellow Jackets.

Piedmont got off to a strong start against visiting Ashville last Friday as linebacker Dalton Barber’s hit on Ashville running back E.J. Moss on the second play of the game separated Moss and the ball. Exavyer Jackson recovered for Piedmont at the Ashville 22-yard line. Piedmont’s first play was a touchdown pass into the end zone from quarterback Ty Sparks wide receiver Denard Spears.

“I was really pleased with our effort, coming off an emotional rival game,” Smith said. “We’ve had a tendency in the past to kind of not go out there and bring the same kind of intensity the next week. I was really pleased with our effort the other night. We played well in all three phases.”

Before the first quarter closed, Sparks had a second scoring pass, this one to C.J. Savage. Thirty seconds into the second quarter, special teams got on the board as Spears returned a punt 55 yards to bump Piedmont’s lead to 20-0 and the rout was on. Dreek Thompson broke a 73-yard scoring run with 6:35 left in the first half and Darnell Jackson finished a 75-yard drive, in which he gained all 75 yards on five carries, with a 2-yard burst into the end zone behind right guard Jamie Crutcher, right tackle Jeffery Pryor and Exavyer Jackson in at blocking back in the “heavy” package.

Piedmont added to its 34-0 halftime lead quickly in the third quarter. Jaret Prater capped a 61-yard, four-play drive with a 14-yard run after Piedmont took the second half kickoff. On Piedmont’s next possession, the Bulldogs covered 76 yards in six plays. Neonta Alexander started the march with a 6-yard run and ended it with a 12-yard carry into the end zone with 1:55 left in the third quarter. A 19-yard gain

by quarterback Tyler Lusk and a 37-yard pickup by Tre Reese were the big plays along the way.

In the fourth quarter, Trevaughn Carpenter took a toss sweep around right end for 60 yards and Piedmont’s final touchdown with 7:10 remaining.

Exavyer Jackson kicked the first extra point but missed the second. Easton Kirk then converted six straight.

Nine players combined to gain 387 yards on just 23 rushing plays. The Bulldogs finished with 369 net yards on the ground when a high snap resulted in an 18-yard loss. Thompson picked up 110 yards on three tries. Darnell Jackson ran six times for 91 yards. Carpenter finished with 69 yards on two carries and Lusk had 43 yards on four attempts.

“On offense, our young offensive linemen have kind of jelled together these first two weeks plus the jamboree, and they seem to be getting better,” Smith said.

“They’re working extremely hard. I’m really proud of the effort.”

On defense, 25 players were involved in at least one tackle for Piedmont. From his end position, Reese had the only quarterback sack but the Bulldogs had 14 other stops behind the line of scrimmage.

Exavyer Jackson led with five tackles for lost yardage. Reese, Alexander, Prater, Barber, Cody Daughtry, Chase Keener, Ryan Kirk, Darnell Jackson and Taylor Cooper each had one tackle behind the line.

Cooper’s came five minutes into the fourth quarter on a fourth-and-inches call at the Piedmont 40-yard line and helped preserve the shutout. Ashville’s starters had put together two first downs against Piedmont reserves and appeared to have some momentum until Cooper’s stop.

Exavyer Jackson led in total tackles with 15. Linebackers Dalton Barber and Taylor Hayes also had double digit tackles with 11 and 10 respectively. Alexander was involved in nine stops and Reese seven.

Darnell Jackson, Couy Taylor, Bayley Blanchard and Keener each had six tackles. Daughtry, Prater and Tyler Lucas had five stops apiece and Ryan Kirk got four.

Lusk, Cooper, Mitchell Bennefield, Austin Brazier, Jacob Clark, Colton Donaldson, Deven Hincy, Josh Minton and Krae Keener had two tackles each.

“We’ve really done a good job to this point of our defense getting to the ball.

I’ve been really pleased with the progress we’ve made to this point defensively,” said Smith. “We’ve been very sound. We’re smaller than we have been but we’ve got good team speed.”

In addition to Spears’ punt return touchdown, special teams got a boost from Darnell Jackson’s deep kickoffs. Jackson sent one kick into the end zone and two others were fielded at the goal line. Five of the remaining six kicks were inside the 5-yard line and one reached the 12.

“That’s been a nice weapon for us, Darnell’s kickoffs being down there, and we usually cover kicks pretty good,” Smith said.

Gaylesville rallies to top scrappy Spring Garden RIP DONOVAN Journal Sports Correspondent

Spring Garden played toe-to-toe with a much more experienced Gaylesville team Friday. Gaylesville scored the game’s final two touchdowns to take a 35-28 win at Spring Garden.

“We played better,” said Spring Garden coach Jason Howard. “We played hard, played hard. We had a hard time stopping them but we had a chance to win it.”

Matters won’t be any easier this week as Spring Garden travels to Valley Head (2-0). The Tigers have already defeated Class 1A, Region 7 foes Donoho and Cedar Bluff in their first two games.

“I think they’re probably the best team in the region,” Howard said of Valley Head.

“Collinsville’s probably got more athletes than they do but Valley Head is very physical and very, very big.”

On the injury front, there is some good news and some bad news.

“We’re banged up a little bit from the Gaylesville game,” said Howard. “I think Will (Ivey) is going to be back and able to play offense this week but we lost Zach Dobbs. That puts another ninth-grader having to start at center. We’ve got to get through without getting too beat up this week then we should have a chance to compete and have a chance to win some over our next few ball games.”

Against Gaylesville, the Panthers fell behind 7-0 early. Kyle Reece scored on a 24-yard run in the first quarter but the kick

failed, leaving the Panthers down 7-6.

The Trojans got the first seven points of the second quarter. Spring Garden knotted the score at 14-all when Matt Mullinax scored on a 46-yard run and freshman quarterback Ben Ivey ran the ball over the goal line for a 2-point conversion.

“Ben played great. He’s about three or four weeks ahead of what I thought he’d be. Going into the year, I already was thinking around Week 4 or Week 5 I might go ahead and put Ben at quarterback and move Will to tailback some. Ben’s progressed, getting thrown into the fire these past two weeks. He’s well ahead of where I thought he’d be,” Howard said.

Before halftime, Mullinax added an 8-yard touchdown run and Hunter Bondie booted the extra point. At intermission, the Panthers held a 21-14 advantage.

After the Trojans forced another tie at 21-all, Spring Garden moved ahead again 28-21. The younger Ivey scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak and Bondie again converted the extra point opportunity.

Mullinax led Spring Garden’s offense with 169 rushing yards. Reece ran for 90 yards. Ivey finished with 64 yards passing and 14 yards rushing. Reece had 50 yards receiving and Chris Holcomb contributed 14 yards through the air.

Linebacker Quintin Downey paced the defense with seven tackles and recovered a fumble.

Dalton Kerr made four tackles. Bondie had two tackles and caused a fumble.

Strott experiments with Dogs’ lineup RIP DONOVAN Journal Sports Correspondent Piedmont volleyball coach Grace Strott continued to experiment with her lineup while the Bulldogs played in the Lincoln tournament Saturday.

Strott said Tuesday she had moved Mallory Roberts to setter, Torre Roberts to middle and Bre Green to libero during the day Saturday and like the preliminary results.

“I think we have figured out what six is going to pull it through for me,” Strott said as the Bulldogs prepared to head to Ranburne for a tri-match with their hosts and Faith Christian.

The Bulldogs opened the tournament with losses to Brooks (26-24, 25-10) and Ohatchee (25-20, 25-21) in pool play. After some shuffling, Piedmont completed its pool

play matches with a 25-12, 25-8 win over St. Clair County.

In their first bracket play match, Piedmont downed Vincent 25-14, 25-13. Carbon Hill then ended Piedmont’s day with a 25-19, 25-16 victory over the Bulldogs.

For the day, middle Carlie Flowers had 26 kills, three blocks and seven service aces.

Outside hitter Riesha Thompson recorded 20 kills and four digs. Torre Roberts had eight kills, 16 digs and one block. Mallory Roberts finished with 38 assists, 17 digs and two blocks. Green had seven aces, 15 digs and eight assists. Ashlynne Rivers contributed 13 digs and Jaylen Major had 11 digs.

Piedmont hosts area foe White Plains and Pleasant Valley Thursday. Piedmont will play in the Cedar Bluff tournament Saturday.

The Bulldogs start next week on the road at Weaver for an area match Monday. Hokes Bluff comes to Piedmont on Sept. 17.
