OPINION/EDITORIAL Town and Gown
Reaves rejoins Southerners after 25 years By Heather Greene, a graduate assistant in the Office of Public Relations Every Saturday of Gamecock football this fall, Derick Reaves has donned his Marching Southerners uniform and taken to the field just like the other several hundred proud Southerners. However, the last time Reaves marched with the Southerners was 25 years ago. Since then, he has been married for 24 years, a father to two sons, a paramedic, involved in church and theater activities, coached and refereed soccer, in addition to returning to school as a part-time, non-traditional student. Taking this into consideration, Reaves begins to seem more like a Christopher Reeve Superman figure. A native of Lincoln, he attended JSU between 1984-1988, majoring in music. Reaves decided to leave the college environment for a municipal government job. He has since returned to his university to finish what he started and pursue his degree in emergency management. Reaves’ decision to major in emergency management is no surprise, as he has been a paramedic for nineteen years (working in Talladega, St. Clair, Jefferson, DeKalb, and Etowah counties) and currently works as a paramedic for SMRC, the medical support services contractor at the Center for Domestic Preparedness in Anniston. “I chose emergency management because of the knowledge I have gained during the many years of working in emergency services, especially while in my current position,” says Reaves. Upon completion of his degree, Reaves plans to pursue management positions in companies that are involved in the emergency response community, or positions within state or federal government agencies. Reaves explains that he has very much enjoyed taking
online courses for the first time this semester, as they have allowed him to continue to work a full-time job and spend quality time with his family. Reaves and his wife, Amy, reside in Gadsden and have just recently celebrated their twenty-fourth wedding anniversary. They have two sons, Nicholas, 19, and Andrew, 16. The couple homeschooled their two children through Pathways Academy, which is a Christian cover school based in Glencoe. Their oldest son, Nicholas, graduated with honors from Pathways Academy and is currently a student at Gadsden State Community College. A junior at Pathways Academy, Andrew is involved in playing soccer for Fusion F.C. on the Division II, U-16 boys team, which is currently holding first place in the state league. Reaves and his family are members at Cathedral of Praise, where he has played saxophone in the praise band for the “Voices of Praise.” He has also been involved in various community theatrical productions through CharACTers Entertainment in Gadsden. When asked if juggling everything on his plate gets difficult, Reaves replies, “Not as much as one might think. My employer encourages their employees to obtain a higher education and has gone above and beyond to allow me to return to college. My family has been completely supportive and given me the time needed to complete my course assignments and study for my exams.” However, Reaves has not simply come back to school after twenty-five years, but has come back to the Marching Southerners and his passion for band. “Once a Southerner, always a Southerner,” says Reaves, who plays the saxophone. “The best days of my previous college life were those in the Marching Southerners.” Coaching and refereeing soccer for several years has helped
Reaves stay in the condition needed to return to the strenuous lifestyle of a Marching Southerner. Current Southerners Director Dr. Ken Bodiford and Assistant Director Clint Gillespie were two of Reaves’ marching contemporaries in the 1980s. Reaves will openly admit that, at age forty-seven, he is the oldest member of the 2013 Marching Southerners, but has thoroughly enjoyed this chance to return. “It has been an awesome experience,” says Reaves. “There are some differences, but for the most part, it is as though I never stopped marching for all of those years.” Reaves explains that his connection to the Southerners of the past has opened up opportunities “to share stories of how it was in the 1980s and how some of the Southerners traditions got started.” While current Southerners can glean from Reaves’ stories from the past, he says he has also gained a great deal from them, “I have learned so much about Southerners that is new from this incredibly talented group of dedicated young adults that I thoroughly enjoy spending time with, on and off of the field.” On the subject of encouraging prospective non-traditional students, Reaves says, “Go for it, even if only attending parttime. JSU is known as ‘The Friendliest Campus in the South’ and it is easy to make new friends here, no matter the age difference. Take at least one course, on campus, get to know your classmates, attend some sporting events, and get involved with one of the many organizations that JSU has available. There is no limit to what you can experience at JSU, but it is only as memorable as you make it.” For more information about attending JSU, visit www.jsu. edu
Halloween has changed, but it is still fun Those of us who grew up during the 1950s know that Halloween celebrations were not always so commercial. I never remember seeing costumes for sale in the stores, such as in the old Masons department store on South Noble or in the dime stores such as Kress, Roses, or Woolworths. Perhaps the costumes were there; but if they were, my mother would have considered their purchase to be frivolous spending. We always dressed in the old standby that all children could put together – hobo costumes. My three sisters and I would search in our chest of drawers for some patched pants, which were plentiful. Also, we would wear one of my father’s flannel shirts and tie
Sherry Kughn
Sherry-Go-Round it around our waists. Next, we kids would find a stick to carry on our shoulders, and Mother would help us make a cloth bag to hang off the end of the stick. When I was young, I never saw an actual hobo, but we girls never thought to point this out to Mother.
The candy back then was different. I’ll never forget how excited I was to find the creamy, cherry-flavored candy lipstick in my paper sack, which is what we used for collecting our candy. I have not found candy lipstick like that since I was about 10 years old. Also in our sacks, we would get Necco wafers, Mary Janes, caramel creams, wax lips, wax bottles full of sweet liquid, candy cigarettes, Zagnuts, and Kits and BB Bats (both guaranteed to pull out a tooth filling). A few neighbors would also place coins or parched peanuts in our sacks. Trick-or-treating was safe during my early memories. By the time I grew a little older, we heard the
horror stories of razor blades and pins stuck in candy. On Halloween night, Mother made us sisters hold hands. We went alone up and down our street. I’ll never forget seeing all the other kids, most of them dressed also like hobos or sometimes ghosts. The lucky kids were the ones whose parents had bought them witch hats. There are other memories I have of fall that are no longer practiced. One of my favorites was when Mother made popcorn balls out of sorghum syrup. She would pat them with butter to make them less sticky, and their sweet-sour flavor was great. I remember, too, that popcorn balls were crispy – unlike others I have bought in stores in

JSU’s Greek system pitches in to help clean up city On October 19th it was my pleasure to work with representatives of the Greek system from Jacksonville State University on a town cleanup day. It was a grand success. The day was the brainchild of student Kenneth Smith, a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. He did a great job organizing the event. Kenneth’s enthusiasm for the project was apparent and inspiring as more than 40 students participated; they were energetic and hard-working.
Young men and young women from campus fraternities and sororities walked all over town picking up litter and engaged in other activities to improve Jacksonville; they surely made a difference. They picked up bags and bags of trash making Jacksonville a much cleaner place. Thank you to Kenneth and his fellow students for volunteering their time to improve “our” community.

recent years. My best friend Nina and I would rake leaves in rows to create the outline of a house full of rooms. We would pretend we lived in this wall-less house. In a nearby patch of woods, we children would eat what Mother called “hall apples,” which were no bigger than marbles, and we ate muscadines and crab apples. Children today have their better costumes and a choice of carnivals to attend. They have fall traditions of their own and different candies. They can’t have more fun, though, than those of us who grew up in a simpler time. Fall is fall, and every generation finds ways to enjoy it. Email Sherry at sherrykug@hotmail.com

School bus driver is training to be firefighter Angela Urso drives for Pleasant Valley schools
A
BY MARGARET ANDERSON NEWS CORRESPONDENT
ngela Urso is in training to become a firefighter for the Webster’s Chapel Volunteer Fire Department. She has two reasons for taking on the job. Being a firefighter will enable her to save lives and property. That was one reason. The second has to do with 49 students who attend school in Pleasant Valley. The safety of these students is put in Angela’s hands twice a day. As a bus driver for the Calhoun County School System for the past six years, she’s responsible for picking them up at their homes, getting them to school and then getting them safely home again. She knew that once she had the knowledge of a firefighter, should an incident occur while driving them, she’d know exactly what to do. That’s important to her. She said once she completes the training, she’ll feel better prepared to handle life-threatening situations. “We have kids who are allergic to certain foods,” she said. “We have one right now that has to have an EpiPen. I want to know everything there is to know about helping them.” Angela has to have 40 hours to be a firefighter, and she currently has about 20. “I’m prepared on the trucks, but I’m not prepared to go inside building” she said. “I can drive the trucks and I can also help the men with the hoses and pumps, to be sure they get the pressure they need.” Her decision to drive a school bus came out of wanting to spend more time as a homemaker. “I had young kids, and I needed a job that would let me be more flexible with them,” she said. “Plus, for a while, I was caring for my grandmother. It’s all worked out good for all of us. Now, I wouldn’t give it up, even if I could, because I love the kids so much.” Angela also drives during the summer. She drives two days a week for Pleasant Valley and two days a week for Alexandria for students who attend summer programs. She is also a part-time secretary for the fire department. Angela was born and reared in the Webster’s Chapel area. Her parents are Joey Urso and Judy Bowden. She lives on the Pleasant Valley Road now, which is only about eight miles from where she grew up. One reason she and her husband, Eric Weaver, who is a welder and fitter, bought their farm, is because they’re able to have orchards and gardens. Angela likes being outside and she especially likes to gather the harvest from their orchards and gardens. There are 85 blueberry bushes, five different types of apple trees, eight pecan trees, three pear trees and five peach trees on their property. This year she filled up three freezers.

Etowah Youth Orchestras to present concert Nov. 3 Jacksonville students have places in the performance
“To everything there is a season….” as the writer of Ecclesiastes tells us in the Bible. Musically speaking, it’s true. The time is just right for Etowah Youth Orchestras’ season’s theme of Latin American music, because the melodies played correspond with EYO’s June 2014 tour to Puerto Rico. For the student musicians, learning the driving rhythms in these dance-like melodies is making music more exciting than ever. The season is titled “Espiritu Alma” or “Spirit and Soul”. The Fall Formal concert will be Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. at Wallace Fine Arts Center at Gadsden State Community College. Four Jacksonville students have places in EYO. Heavy syncopation and stressing what happens off of the beat create a characteristic sound, according to Mike Gagliardo, EYO Director, along with the use of certain keys and scales to create distinctive sounds.

BOOZER: Performs various functions regarding bonds issued by state From page 1

Young Boozer told club members about the state’s unclaimed properties and money.
into the Boozer family.” Boozer talked about the various duties required of his position. As state treasurer, he is responsible for multiple state financial interests, including cash management, bonds and the Alabama Trust Fund and unclaimed property left by deceased persons. Alabama currently has about a half million dollars in unclaimed property or money. Anyone wanting to know if he or a relative has unclaimed property can go to www.treasury.state.al.us and type in a name. Greg Burleson, a board member of the association and financial service representative for Met Insurance asked how long someone has to collect his unclaimed property. Boozer’s response was “Forever.” “It allows you the option to bid
on certain non-cash items that have been turned over to the Treasury Department because the owners can’t be located,” said Callendar. “About 35 years ago, we discovered natural gas in Mobile Bay,” said Boozer. “They drilled the wells, they extracted the gas and we get a royalty from that. I’m responsible for managing and investing that.” By serving on the Bond Commission, Boozer performs various functions regarding bonds issued by the state or the various state agencies having authority to issue bonds. The specific duties of the treasurer in a bond issue are determined by the provisions set out in the official statement of the bond issue. Designated duties may include registrar, transfer agent, paying agent, investment of proceeds, debt service payments, or any other assignment permitted by law and accepted by the treasurer. Boozer noted that he was the
water boy on Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant’s 1959-60 football team and that Bryant is his daughter’s godfather. Boozer was born in Birmingham and reared in Tuscaloosa. He has a bachelor’s degree in economics from Stanford University and a master’s degree in finance from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. During the past four decades, his career in banking, finance and investments has taken him from Citibank in New York and Crocker National Bank in Los Angeles, to Coral Petroleum in Houston and Colonial Bank in Montgomery. Boozer served as Deputy State Finance Director for former Gov. Bob Riley. He is a member of the Rotary Club, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and the Boy Scouts. He is married to the former Sally Jackson of Clayton. “Mr. Boozer is passionate about his job and discussed several top-
ics of interest, including the Alabama PACT Program and how it was rescued from default,” said Callendar. “The program will now enable each child registered to have a college education, with only a few modifications from the original contract to PACT members.” “As an association we were honored to have Mr. Boozer speak with us,” said James Cosper of Alfa Insurance in Jacksonville and president of the association. “I feel even more fortunate to have had the opportunity to hear him speak. We truly appreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule to travel to Anniston for our monthly NAIFA luncheon.” The association and board meet each month. The next meeting will be at 11:30 a.m. Nov. 21 at Classic on Noble. Insurance Commissioner Jim L. Ridling, who is over the Alabama Department of Insurance, will speak.
TRIPLETS: Run in Kyle’s family From page 1
weighed 4 pounds and 13 ounces. They were delivered by Dr. Barbara Moersch. Kyle said triplets run in his family, while twins run in Heather’s family. Heather was six weeks pregnant when she found out they would be having triplets. Kyle, a Jacksonville firefighter, didn’t get to go with her to her doctor’s appointment that day because he was in a class at the fire college in Tuscaloosa. When Heather called him to tell him how her appointment went, learning that he would be the father of triplets was the last thing he expected to hear. “It was a shock,” he said. “It was a big shock to both of us. She was crying because she was excited, happy and overwhelmed at the same time, wondering what we were going to do with three babies. I didn’t cry. I was just in shock. This is something that changes your life. It gives you new priorities. They come first with everything now.” Kyle said when you have three at the same time, you quickly become accustomed to routines, feeding, and changing diapers. “It’s going real good right now,” he said. “We’ve got them on a pretty good schedule.
We’re hoping that holds up. “We’ve had a lot of help from our family. We’ve had a family member over here since the minute we walked in. I don’t know if we could beat them with a stick to get them out of here. They’ll come in and pick one of them up, and I’m like, just let them sleep. But our family has been wonderful.” Kyle and Heather attended Piedmont schools together. Heather is a contract specialist at Anniston Army Depot. She plans on going back to work sometime in January. Relatives have already volunteered to help when that happens. All of the grandparents live in Piedmont. Kyle’s parents are Don and Patty Glover. Heather is the daughter of Mitchell and Greta Fortenberry and Lynn and Nancy Kelly. Kyle has an older brother, Steven, who lives in Piedmont. Heather’s siblings, Alisa Smith and Jacob Fortenberry also live in Piedmont. Her step-sister, Felicia Chandler, lives in Pleasant Valley, and her step-brother, Jeremy Frames, lives in Heflin.

Here is what JSU head coach Bill Clark said about this week’s game at Tennessee Tech “I think there are times that an open date might break your stride or you are not wanting to see an open date, but I don’t think it could have come at a better time for us because we were pretty banged up. I think we were mentally tired as we got to the midpoint of the season. It was good for us to get out and do some recruiting. We finished practice on Wednesday and mainly concentrated on ourselves. We tried to get fundamentally better and work on some of those things that you let go as you get in to a game week situation. We had a really good recruiting week and it was good to get out and see the high school coaches. Obviously, this week is a huge game for us. They (Tennessee Tech) have had some struggles recently, but they have been in every game. They really do a great job in all three phases of the game. They are a play away here and there and a few injuries from being really good. We have tons of respect for them and this is their homecoming, so they have their backs to the wall. It will be a big game for both teams.” On the wide receiver position: “It was great that we had an open date to really get some guys some reps, specifically the back ups to those guys that are out. One good thing that we do is that we get tons of reps and we have to find the things that fit these guys that are coming in to these spots. Obviously,

Telvin (Brown) was a guy that was playing more and got banged up some himself, which allowed Dalton (Screws) to step up. I think Telvin is back well right now and Gabe Chambers was hurt in the beginning of the year, but now he is full speed. Markis Merrill and Dalton were really playing well and that is something you hate to see when they go down because they were really playing well. You will see some guys in some different spots and they will be the guys that have played, you will just see more guys get more work.” On who will do the holding duties: “Kyle West will be a guy that we will look at, and even Hamish MacInnes was a guy that we thought about using in the beginning of the season. He is a really good holder and they work on those things every day. We are going to see how this week goes.” On what he did during the open dates: “I recruited. Saturday was a good day because I got to watch a lot of football. I always enjoy seeing how other people play and call games. It is a good experience for me because it is not technical, just to really sit back and be a fan. It was a good day for everyone to get away from each other. I tried not to call the coaches on Saturday and let them be away from me a little bit. We came in Sunday pretty fresh.”
On Tennessee Tech: “Offensively, you have a head coach that has been a known offensive coordinator and play caller for a number of years. I am very impressed with them offensively as I started to watch them on film in the offseason. They are a two-quarterback system like we are and one of them is probably a little bit more of a runner than the other one. It will be a lot of zone-reads and a lot of speed option and multiple ways to run the zone-read. Defensively, they are very solid and sound and they will be a four-down front and some three-down. They are very good in the interior and the defensive line is very impressive. They don’t make a lot of mistakes and will make you take it down the field.”

40 JSU students participate in Clean-up Day
Submitted photo
On October 19th it was my pleasure to work with representatives of the Greek system from Jacksonville State University on a town clean up day. It was a grand success. The day was the brainchild of student Kenneth Smith, a member of Sigma Nu fraternity. He did a great job organizing the event! Kenneth’s enthusiasm for the project was apparent and inspiring as more than 40 students participated; they were energetic and hard-working. Young men and young women from campus fraternities and sororities walked all over town picking up litter and engaged in other activities to improve Jacksonville; they surely made a difference. They picked up bags and bags of trash making Jacksonville a much cleaner place. Thank you to Kenneth and his fellow students for volunteering their time to improve “our” community. - Sherry Blanton

The band opened for the Allman Brothers that same year, and the following year, they began to headline their own shows. “We were a bunch of young guys who didn’t know any boundaries,” said lead singer and founding member Doug Gray. Often called a southern rock band, the band plays everything from country, jazz and blues to rock ‘n roll. Their songs include “Can You See,” “The Highway,” Fire on the Mountain,” and “Heard It in a Love Song.” Green started playing guitar when he was 10. By the time he was 14, he was writing music. He spent a lot of his time playing with his grandfather, Buford Green, who also had a love for music. “I hope everybody comes on out Friday night,” said Green. “I’ve really been hoping they’d do something like this around here for a long time, and now they’re
doing it. I’m looking forward to seeing everybody. It’s a free concert, and I don’t see any reason why everybody can’t be there.” Zinn Park is at 28 W. 14th Ave. Everyone is asked to bring lawn chairs or blankets.

Eagles rally to get big area victory AL MUSKEWITZ Consolidated News Service
HEFLIN — Clint Smith told his Jacksonville football team at halftime Friday night the second half would be a “program-changing moment” for it and he was right. The Golden Eagles accepted their coach’s challenge, stepped up their game in the second half and rallied to beat Cleburne County 14-7 Friday night to gain a favorable position in the meat-grinder that is Class 4A, Region 5. Jacksonville (6-2, 4-2) scored the go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter and held the Tigers to 70 yards of net offense in the second half to move into a second-place tie in the region with Lincoln. Cleburne County (5-3, 3-3), meanwhile, fell into a tie for fourth with Alexandria and Anniston. It’ll be a mad dash for the region’s final three playoff spots as this week’s region finales find Jacksonville playing rival Alexandria, Cleburne County playing Lincoln
and Anniston playing already-crowned region champion Munford. “We’ve been talking about taking that next step,” Smith said. “Last year we came in and played really good early on and we just didn’t get the breaks later on in the year. We talk about how we have to make our own breaks when you get in these close games in this region. “We just talked to them about taking that next step to give us a chance to get in the playoffs. When I used the ‘program-changing half’ we were faced with that opportunity … and when they come up you’ve got to take advantage of them, and they responded.” Dominique Thomas put Jacksonville ahead with a 2-yard touchdown run with 7:33 left in the third quarter. Quarterback Jackson Bell ran for the 2-point conversion. The touchdown came on a fourth-andgoal after the Golden Eagles came out setting up for a 20-yard field goal attempt.
“We weren’t going to let our kicker kick,” Thomas said. “Me and Jackson told Mason (Tompkins) to get off the field. The coaches were telling him to come on, we told him to get off. We finally called a time out and convinced Coach that we got it.” And they did. “Kids are always going to want to go for it,” Smith said. “It was one of those momentum things, one of those statement things we needed to make. We believed in our offense and they came out and got us what we needed.” Until that point, Jacksonville’s only score came when Elijah Cunningham scooped up a fumble at the 1 and fell into the end zone. The Golden Eagles had only 41 yards of net offense in the first half. Thomas and Bell combined for 137 yards rushing in the second half. “We’ve been a second half team all year long,” Smith said. “We talked about how we can’t get off to slow starts and then try to recover; that’s what happened to us last
week against Lincoln.” Cleburne County’s downfall was missed opportunities. The Tigers gave what coach Michael Shortt called a “great effort” in the absence of injured quarterback Brady Padgett and fullback Cole Corkren, but they missed two field goal attempts and failed on two fourth-down conversions in Jacksonville territory. The attempt to go for it at the 4 in the third quarter came because of the two earlier missed field goals. “You can’t get inside the red zone four times and not score,” Shortt said. “If you don’t get them in big games you’re not going to win. That’s what football is about — momentum.” Cleburne County’s Trey Bolton, who wore Padgett’s jersey in the game, rushed for 81 yards, but was held to only 11 in the second half. Brandon Horn scored the Tigers’ only touchdown on a 26-yard run late in the first quarter. Horn finished with 77 yards rushing in the game.

Lady Eagles honor seniors LORI TIPPETS teamtip@hotmail.com
At a tri-match last week at Jacksonville High School, the Lady Eagles honored seven seniors on their final regular season games at home. Jacksonville 29-9, beat Pleasant Valley 25-11 and 25-22 and West End 25-18 and 25-16. Blessing Dunn led the Lady Eagles with 20 kills, six digs and five blocks. Katie Neisler added 11 kills, three aces and seven digs; Halee Stallings nine kills, two digs and four blocks; Tamaria Mays nine kills and four blocks, and Mallory Patterson had three kills and five blocks. Libero Ariel Diaz had two aces and six digs and setters Ashley Clingan had 20 assists and Courtney Bowden 12 assists. The Lady Eagles, 4A Area 11 champions will host the area tournament on Tuesday starting at 5 PM with a game against Hokes Bluff. The winner will play the winner of the Alexandria-Cherokee County game at 8PM. Both the area winner and runner-up will advance to the Super Regionals in Huntsville on Friday and Saturday.
Jacksonville’s seniors have seen a lot of success both on and off the volleyball court. They have been part of two county championships, three area championships, three Elite Eight appearances, and three Final Four appearances and in 2012 were the state 4A runner-ups. Meet the Seniors Katie Neisler-Has been on the JHS volleyball team for six years, five of those on varsity. This year she is playing as an outside hitter. She has been active in Key Club, FFA and volunteers at the Eagle Point Baptist Church. Neisler has played with the Team Sting Volleyball Club and was on the Jr. Olympic Beach volleyball team. Neisler’s accomplishments on the court are many. She has been named All-State, All-County (2010-2013) was the 2012 Player of the Year, and All-County MVP, was named to the North/South All-Star tournament... to name just a few of her honors and recognitions. She has committed to play with Samford University after graduating. Head Coach David Clark said of Neisler, “Katie Neis■ See EAGLES, page 11
Jacksonville Christian quarterback Daylon Brackett accounted for 545 yards and eight touchdowns in a 62-48 high-flying win over Coosa Christian. The junior rushed for 181 yards and four touchdowns and passed for 364 yards and four more scores as the Thunder gained their second win of the season, as well as their second regional victory. “We played to the end,” Jacksonville Christian coach Tommy Miller said. “I feel good about the win.” Coosa received first but had to punt away after a short drive. Jacksonville Christian was unable to capitalize on their first possession as well, resulting in a turnover on downs. The Conquerors next possession looked promising, starting with a 52-yard from junior quarterback Johnny Grizzard, followed by a first-down run from running back Benjamin Mills. Two downs later, Jacksonville Christian recovered a fumble, and on the next play, junior Kris Armprester took a long pass for a 70-yard touchdown, putting the Thunder up 7-0 at the end of the first. Coosa answered at the start of the second with a 49-yard touchdown run from Mills. The rest of the half was a shootout with both teams scoring on every possession. Toward the end of the half, a quarterback keeper led to another touchdown for Brackett, and on the kickoff the Thunder recovered the ball after it bounced off a Coosa defender. Jacksonville went into half time with a seven-point lead over Coosa 34-27. The third quarter saw a much more aggressive defense from Jacksonville Christian. The Thunder held Coosa to no points the whole quarter while putting up three more touchdowns. Armprester completed a touchdown pass, and Brackett returned a kickoff for an 85-yard run into the end zone. Senior running back Cody Blohm scored on a carry at the end of the third. The Conquerors rallied back in the fourth. Grizzard took in two keepers, and freshman Isaac Hamby completed a touchdown pass bringing Coosa up to 48. A short carry from Brackett late in the fourth sealed the victory for the Thunder. “We’re still young, and we’re still finding ways to shoot ourselves in the foot,” Coosa head coach Scott Clifton said. “We’ve got to learn to overcome adversity.” Miller said that the success of his defense in the third quarter was due to last minute adjustments during the half: “I didn’t know if they were going to work or not, but they did.”
Pleasant Valley beats West End, honors seniors LORI TIPPETS teamtip@hotmail.com
In a tri-match held last week at Jacksonville High School, Pleasant Valley lost to Jacksonville 11-25, and 22-25 but rebounded with a win over West End, 29-27, 20-25 and 15-12. Kaylee Benefield had 10 kills and three blocks for the Lady Raiders, Taylor Cochran 12 kills, libero Anna Bryant, three aces and 26 digs and setter Bailey Turner had 30 assists. Pleasant Valley, 2A Area 12 winners, hosted the area tournament on Monday. Results were not available at press time. The Lady Raiders honored three seniors, Savannah Spaulding, Nicole Angles and Meredith Moseley. Spaulding has been named All-County, Best Defensive Player in the County, All-Area, and Area MVP. In softball Spaulding was named Most Improved. Spaulding was named Exchange Club Student of the Month and was the 2013 Home-

Head Coach Dana Bryant remarked, “I am graduating three very special girls this year; Savannah Spaulding, Nicole Angles and Meredith Moseley. These girls have been a part of Pleasant Valley volleyball for the past six years. “They have all played a role in helping our program. In different ways, such as “court action”, team spirit, positive attitude, inspiration, encouragement and determination, these girls have contributed greatly to who we are. “They will be missed greatly and I wish them the very best in their years to come.”

Neisler’s number retired Woodland rips Raiders
LORI TIPPETS teamtip@hotmail.com
In a very moving and touching ceremony, Caroline Neisler’s number was retired during the last regular season volleyball game at Jacksonville High School. Caroline passed away this past May from leukemia. Caroline was instrumental in leading Jacksonville High School to two state championships. Caroline was named All-County 2008-2009, and All-State. Her outstanding play led to a scholarship to the University of North Alabama. She later transferred to Samford University. After this year’s seniors were honored at last Tuesday’s game, the fans and players attention were directed to a drape on the wall. The drape was removed to unveil the plaque honoring Caroline with the No.5 jersey. Currently, her younger sister Katie, a senior volleyball player at JHS, wears No.5 but at the end of the season the number will be retired. This is the first time in the history of JHS volleyball that a number has been retired.

October 14, 2013
To the Jacksonville State University Community, The Tennessee State University Aristocrat of Bands would like to sincerely apologize for the incident that took place during an injury timeout of Saturday’s football game between Jacksonville State University and Tennessee State University. With the injury taking place in the end zone on the opposite sideline from the Band’s location, the injured player and activities in that area were not visible to us, and we were unaware of what was happening as our Band began to play. Upon realizing there was a player injured from the opposing team, we immediately ceased play. Naturally, we were concerned with the well being of the injured Jacksonville State player. We take the health and safety of athletes on both teams very seriously and would not intentionally show disrespect for something so serious. Members of the Aristocrat of Bands always strive to conduct themselves according to proper protocol, good sportsmanship and professionalism. We greatly value the relationship that we have developed with Dr. Bodiford and the Jacksonville State University Marching Southerners, and regret that the Aristocrat of Bands would be viewed as poor sportsmen. We wish Jacksonville receiver Markis Merrill well in his recovery and hope that we can continue to build a positive relationship with the Jacksonville State University football team, band and fans. Sincerely,
Reginald A. McDonald, Ed.D. Acting Director of Bands

Inside the Statehouse
Supreme Court rulings affect Alabama During the summer the U.S. Supreme Court rendered two significant rulings. They were quite different philosophically. The high tribunal, in a farreaching landmark decision, rendered same sex marriage legal in America. By granting all legal rights to same sex marriage they gave credence and official sanction to these unions. Their decisions are the law of the land. This is a significant verdict. The Supreme Court is omnipotent. Therefore, when it comes to federal benefits, such as Social Security, state laws like Alabama’s that prohibit same sex marriage are irrelevant. If a gay couple that was married in Connecticut moves to Alabama they are officially married. In a contrasting decision on an appeal of a case that originated in Shelby County, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a ruling that voided a portion of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The decision allows Alabama and 14 other states to avoid the preclearance requirement, which previously required these states to seek approval from the Department of Justice for any changes made in election laws and voting districts. The high court’s invalidation of Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act is not as significant a ruling as the legalization of same sex marriage. However, there was a tremendous hue and cry from civil rights groups and leaders. The decision did not strike down the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It merely offered relief from mundane and non-challenging voting procedures in the south. For example, if an all white county wanted to change a voting location from a church to a school, the county had to ask the U.S. Justice Department for permission. It has been cumbersome and expensive. The U.S. Supreme Court agreed. In practice, 95 percent of all minor voting changes were approved in a perfunctory manner anyway and it just cost the local government and U.S. government a lot of money. The discrimination provisions of the Voting Rights Act still exist. The Justice Department can still step in and sue. They are doing just that in Texas over the redistricting of their legislative lines. Only the preclearance provision was stricken. These two contrasting opinions illuminate an interesting alignment of our U.S. Supreme Court. The Court is evenly divided philosophically. You have four hardcore liberal members and four true blue, steadfast, dedicated conservatives on the tribunal. These eight members are dedicated, committed and predictable votes when it comes to left or right wing issues. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan are very liberal. As might be expected, a Democratic president appointed them. Obama appointed Sotomayor and Kagan and Clinton appointed Breyer and Ginsburg. In contrast Justices John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are reliably and unalterably conservative. Republican presidents appointed all four of these men. George W. Bush appointed Roberts, Thomas and Alito and Reagan appointed Scalia. The ultimate swing vote on the Supreme Court is also a Reagan appointment. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy is the decision maker on the Court. He was the deciding vote on both of the aforementioned decisions. The verdicts came down on a 5 to 4 vote with Kennedy being the decisive swing vote. This philosophical stalemate has made the moderate and unpredictable Justice Kennedy the most powerful man in America after the President. Kennedy is a 77-year-old lifetime Californian. He was born and raised and practiced law in San Francisco. He graduated from Stanford undergrad and Harvard Law School. He is a legal scholar who taught constitutional law. He served as a U.S. Federal Judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for 12 years before Ronald Reagan appointed him to the Supreme Court in 1988. By the way, six of the nine justices went to law school at Harvard. It almost appears that a Harvard law degree is a prerequisite for a seat on the High Court. Yale can claim two. The preclearance decision cleared the way for Alabama’s new photo voter identification law to take effect for next year’s state elections. The Secretary of State’s office has devised a plan that will allow for any voters who do not have identification to receive free photo ids through the Department of Public Safety or local Boards of Registrars.

reary weather didn’t hamper several events in Jacksonville Saturday. The Jacksonville Health Festival kicked off with a 4-mile trail run at 7 a.m. on the mountain bike trails at Henry Farm. The festival included health screenings, exercise demos and nature walks. The Jacksonville Farmers Market opened at Henry Farm instead of the usual location in the parking lot behind the stores on the east side of town. A “Fun Day” at Eastwood School featured face painting, musical chairs and a community sofball game. St. Charles Catholic Church hosted an annual fundraising event, Octoberfest, at 6 p.m. The event was centered on German culture and included a traditional German meal and beer. A silent auction and raffle was held to help raise money to pay for the church’s building and maintenance projects. The Jacksonville Profile Mill Village Neighborhood Association hosted fall events from 8 a.m.-10 p.m. Called the Fall-tastic Clean Up, Yard Contest and Block Party, participants helped spruce up the neighborhood. Those helping included volunteers from area civic organizations and the fire department. Matt and Kelly Waltz won the yard decorating contest.
