Dollar General decision pushed again By CRYSTAL COLE crystal@gulfcoastmedia.com

Orange Beach council members once again tabled a proposal that would allow a new Dollar General store to be built on Hwy. 161, marking the third time the council has delayed a decision on the store. Despite plans presented by the developer that reflected a redesigned exterior to better fit in with the city’s coastal aesthetic, several council members said they remained unsure the proposed location was a good fit for the store. “We are very committed to preserving the neighborhoods we have remaining, and I think the intrusion of this very, very busy store, the increased traffic and the difficulty getting in and

out will be detrimental to this area,” Councilwoman Annette Mitchell said. Mitchell said she felt the store redesign was nice but she still had qualms about the location. “I applaud those changes,” Mitchell said. “I think that’s very attractive, and I think it would look very, very nice anywhere in Orange Beach - except there.” The location is currently zoned neighborhood business, and Bob Broadway of Broadway Group, the group behind the development, said the store would fit within that zoning designation. In May, the Orange Beach Planning Commission voted to SEE DECISION, PAGE

This private launch and park abuts the proposed site of a new ramp. By JOHN MULLEN Islander contributor

PERDIDO BEACH – This was indeed a public hearing. And, to the chagrin of a sweltering crowd in the bays of the Perdido Beach Volunteer Fire Department, not a meeting that would end in a vote on a controversial boat launch and park in the town. “Public is the word we’re having a problem with, I think,” Kathy Coate said. “I don’t think its boat launch. I think it’s the word public.”

INDE X

Coate is a town resident and part owner of a private launch located next to the proposed site for the new launch. A vote on the rezoning of a city-owned parcel to allow for a park and boat launch isn’t likely until the next regular council meeting Aug. 17. Town leaders hope to use leftover BP grant money, $675,750, to turn 2.6 acres on the corner of State Street and Tuscaloosa Drive into a park and boat launch. State is one SEE OUTCRY, PAGE

of the town’s signature one-lane gravel roads that could face increased boat trailer traffic. Stipulations within the grant say the money must be spent on public improvements. Meaning it must be made available for use to the general public. The lot proposed for the ramp and park was also purchased with BP grant money. This is one of the main reasons, resident Chris Chandler said, 382 of the town’s 600 or so residents signed a petition against the launch. “The public will know about this launch and come from miles away dragging their boats with little consideration for residents,” Helen Faust, who lives next door to the proposed launch. “Some of these people will be unsavory characters. The boat launch will bring more trash, loss of peace and quiet, more cost to the

give a favorable recommendation for the project, though the vote was divided. If approved, the store would actually be replacing a Dollar General store currently located on Beach Road in the WalMart shopping center that is losing its lease. Many of the staff members from the Beach Road location would be brought to the new store if ap-

town and strangers in our midst.” Faust and her husband first bought property in Perdido Beach in 1986, retired in 2003 and in 2007 built a house that is now next to the controversial parcel the city is considering rezoning from Residential to Outdoor Recreation. “Had the property next door to us had been anything but residential we would never have spent our hard-earned money here,” Faust said. Among the dozen or so people who got up to speak, just two spoke in favor of making the zoning change. Resident Patsy Parker said reports from the zoning officials said there would be no adverse affects on traffic, the environment or the health, safety and welfare of the community and no land use conflicts. “I support the mayor and council and thank them for their work in whatever decision they make, but personally I am in favor of rezon-

proved. Additional traffic that could be created by the store was also a major concern for the council. “I appreciate the rendering, the look, the architectural features, but I have reservations about the traffic,” Councilman Jeff Boyd said. The council eventually voted to table the matter to allow the developer time to possibly find another more suitable location for the store or find ways to improve the plan at the existing location.

ing,” Parker said. Chandler, who said he has worked on large master-planned communities for 25 years, lives a few lots down from the proposed park and boat launch site. “This public boat launch for Perdido Beach, from every measurable aspect – planning, funding, ongoing maintenance, waterquality issues and navigational safety – is one of the worst projects I’ve ever seen,” Chandler said. “It is a disaster in the making.” He said a litany of experts have cited reasons the launch would be a bad idea. “What you see on one hand is a group of people whose only argument is they want the convenience of not having to drive seven miles to put their boat in the water,” Chandler said. “On the other side what you have are professionals - a construction manager, real estate evaluation, legal matters, criminal justice and public safety. All say it would be a disaster

from their point of expertise.” One of those experts, Baldwin County Chief Deputy Charlie Jones, said the town could expect problems and noted problems from a nearby launch. “The launch at Josephine – I can assure you of this – has certainly been a thorn in the side of the Sheriff ’s office,” Jones said. “It’s a significant problem for us and I anticipate it will be for this community, too.” Jones said the biggest problem is citing illegal parking. By state law, Jones said, deputies cannot issue citations unless they see the violator actually park illegally, or return to the illegally parked vehicle. They can’t simply leave a ticket on the windshield. Councilman Tom Bloxman invited those against the launch to sit down and help find solutions to getting a boat launch in Perdido Beach. “None of us want a large public boat launch,” Bloxman said. “I personally will never

This is why we need to start working as a united community for the betterment of the community. “Our vision is for boat launch to serve our town citizens and to develop a way to limit the use of others utilizing environment impact fees and parking ordinances.”

The general consensus was in favor of a boat launch in the town as long as that word – public – was not included. “We do not want the public – all capital letters – here at a boat launch in our community,” resident Karen Gross said. “I am in favor of a boat launch restricted to property owners and residents in the community. We need one and that can be done.”

First Food Champ rankings released by WFC SUBMITTED Most every major sport has world rankings for its competitors. And now, so does Food Sport.

NOTICE TO PUBLIC REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS ENGINEERING SERVICES The Town of Elberta is soliciting proposals from qualified firms and individuals interested in providing professional services related to the preparation and implementation of a Community Development Block Grant. The purpose of this project is to apply for $350,000 in funding to rehabilitate drainage facilities which requires the following services: ENGINEERING SERVICES: These tasks shall include, but not be limited to, assistance with preparation of a grant application to be submitted to the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), and then, if the grant is awarded by ADECA, the level and scope of services to be provided by the consultant will be determined by the City. A lump sum, fixed price fee will be required. Engineering services for all stages of design, bidding and construction of the project are required. Examples of services which firm must be prepared and qualified to provide shall include but not be limited to the following: The preparation of all necessary construction plans and specifications, the preparation of all bid documents and supervision of the bidding process that is consistent with Local, State and Federal regulations, the provision of on-site resident inspection services during the construction process in addition to regular progress reports to the Town. At the completion of construction the project engineer shall conduct a final construction inspection and issue a final certificate of completion. As-built drawings shall be delivered to the Town. Proposals will be evaluated and ranked on the basis of the following criteria: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

this year’s championship will be ranked based on a new set of performance questions and a proprietary scoring system. “We can now take a look at which competitors entering our championship will stand the best chance of winning,” commented Mike McCloud, President/ CEO of WFC. “This is revolutionary for the Food Sport industry. It doesn’t mean that the top-ranked competitors will win. Because as we all know, on any given day, an underdog can outperform the oddson favorites. And that”s exactly why we “play the game.” But this does mean we can predict the favorites before the competition begins, and that’s going to be a fun element for TV, social media and on-the-scene chatter.” The rankings are based on a series of questions

about a competitor’s past performance and culinary training, giving both chefs and home cooks or pro teams an equal shot at garnering a top spot in the world’s richest Food Sport event. Once the questions have been answered, a WFC official verifies the accuracy of the survey and then the WFC scoring system applies a weighted score to each answer. All competitors are then ranked on a potential scale of 0 to 100 points. So who is ranked number one in the world? For now, it’s Phillip Dell, a chef in the barbecue category from Las Vegas, Nevada. But each Wednesday, the rankings will be updated as more contestants enter WFC 2017 and fill out their surveys, so

Dell’s position may change as the championship nears.

About the World Food Championships The World Food Championships (www.WorldFoodChampionships. com) features hundreds of culinary champions seeking food fame and fortune. The sixth annual event, scheduled for Nov. 8-14, 2017 at The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama, features 10 categories of competition before culminating in a high-stakes Final Table showdown for hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and prizes.

Florida Georgia Line bring The Smooth Tour to The Wharf

By JESSICA VAUGHN jessica@gulfcoastmedia.com

ORANGE BEACH – Florida Georgia Line, comprised of country music duo Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley, brought big beats to The Wharf not once, but twice, on Friday, June 14 and again on Saturday, June 15. Known for their fusion of country, rock, hip-hop, and pop, Florida Georgia Line did not disappoint as they partied along with a packed amphitheater. Filled with energy, the duo played some of their most famous hits along with lesser known tracks, all while interacting with the audience and inviting them to join in on the fun. The pair started out by getting the audience moving the track “Anything Goes”. The duo continued by playing hits “Round Here”, “May We All”, “Sippin’ on Fire”, “God, Your Mama, and Me”, and “Smooth”, the song for which their current tour is named. To bring to life the band’s 2016 album “Dig Your Roots”, a backdrop of trees and a makeshift forest were constructed to accompany the country superstars as they performed the titular single. Displaying another touching moment, the duo asked for the audience goers to light up their cell phones and hold them high as they sang “Get Your Shine On”, a request that was readily met by the attendees. The band even performed unknown songs that they described as never being released, songs that they had written for fun and which they performed together before shows to prepare themselves for concerts. “Thank you for spending your hard-earned money to be out here with us tonight,” Hubbard told the audience. “It means the world to us.”

Joining Florida Georgia Line on their tour were: country singer Morgan Wallen, who opened the show with excitement and energy as he sang “The Way I Talk” and “Boots on the Ground”; Chris Lane, performing his hit songs “Fix” and “For Her”, along with a melody of hit pop songs from over the last few decades; and rapper Nelly, who performed before the headliners and engaged the audience with his hits throughout the years, such as “Party People”, “Ride With Me”, “Country Grammar”, “Air Force One”, and “Shake Ya Tailfeather”. He also engaged with the audience, bringing fans onstage to sing along with his hits. Throughout the night, Florida Georgia Line performed alongside their opening acts, and even joined Morgan Wallen to film a music video with the audience. The encore brought together Florida Georgia Line and Nelly. First, Nelly performed his hit from 2002 “Hot in Here”, followed by the rapper joining Florida Georgia Line to close the show with “Cruise”, the duo’s hit which is currently the best-selling country digital song. The band also had something else to celebrate, as their song “God, Your Mama, and Me” recently became the duo’s 13th career No. 1 song on the charts. They have also been featured on electropop group The Chainsmokers’ debut studio album on the track “Last Day Alive”.

Baldwin County’s Cassebaum attends Ag Voices of the Future program

Kelsey Cassebaum of Lillian was one of eight college students from five states selected for the inaugural Ag Voices of the Future in Washington, D.C. There she met with members of Alabama’s congressional delegation during the program. Cassebaum, right, was greeted by U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., at his office in Washington, D.C. Kelsey Cassebaum of Lillian was one of eight college students from five states selected for the inaugural Ag Voices of the Future program hosted in Washington, D.C. July 10-13. The program, sponsored by Valent U.S.A. and the American Soybean Association (ASA), helped young people improve their understanding of major policy issues impacting soybean farmers, the importance of advocacy and careers that shape agricultural policy. The class was in conjunction with the ASA board meeting and Soy Issues Forum. “I was honored to be selected to participate in the program,” said Cassebaum, who is interning at the Alabama Farmers Federation this summer. “In addition to meeting several members of Alabama’s congressional delegation, I enjoyed learning more about how agriculture policy is made. It’s important for me and other young people to become advocates for agriculture.” Cassebaum is a senior studying agricultural economics major at Auburn University and is Auburn Young Farm-

ers chairman. She is the daughter of Todd and Hope Cassebaum. Their family has a diversified farm in Baldwin County where they grow row crops, fruits and vegetables, cattle and hay. While working at the Federation, the 22-year-old has focused on checkoff programs for the Alabama Soybean Producers and Wheat & Feed Grain Producers. “More and more, regulations that impact the ag industry are being directed by legislative and regulatory leadership many generations removed from the farm,” said Jeffrey Smith, Valent’s industry affairs manager. “We believe the best way to ensure sound regulation is to encourage more young leaders with a practical understanding of ag production to consider careers based in Washington, D.C. Valent appreciates the opportunity to partner with ASA to identify, develop and direct these future leaders to have a positive impact on the issues facing soybean farmers and the crop protection industry.” The nearly four-day program was packed with activities and valuable networking opportunities

including testimonies from ASA and Valent’s Washington representatives and a Senate Ag Committee staff member. The group also attended an ASA policy issues briefing, visited Capitol Hill with farmerleaders, toured the U.S. Department of Agriculture, heard from an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) representative and a visited CropLife America’s office. “It’s important that young people have an understanding of the important policy issues that directly impact the productivity and economic wellbeing of our farms and the soybean industry,” said ASA President Ron Moore, a farmer from Roseville, Illinois. “ASA appreciates Valent’s support of this valuable program that helps to cultivate future voices for agriculture in Washington.” For more information on the Ag Voices of the Future program, visit the “Learn” section at https://soygrowers.com.

after he had regained his consciousness and his breath: “I think I’d rather burn to death.” B.B. King entitled a blues number that captured my brother’s sentiments exactly: “I Got Some Help I Don’t Need.” It is too often the case that well-meaning people feel moved by some perceived deficiency in the life of another. Motivated by just enough guilt to take action but hardly enough real compassion to actually change things for the better, they do something at minimal cost them that is typically very costly to the people they were trying to “help.” Rather, let us be filled with the power and formed by the example of Christ who rescued us completely by loving us to the uttermost (John 13:1).

IVEY’S

My father is a wonderful and godly man. The home in which I was reared was a place of laughter, love, and security. But, like every earthly father, Dad had certain idiosyncrasies. One was a love for personal home improvement without any real interest in the requisite skills. One day, Dad decided that my younger brother’s upstairs room needed a reliable means of escape if the house ever caught fire (we had been in the house for a decade and Adam was a month away from leaving for college—why the prospect of a fiery end suddenly became a concern of Dad’s remains a mystery). Dad procured a length of anchor line (the slickest rope known to man—I think it was on sale) and a large screw eye. He picked a spot below Adam’s window, screwed the eye through the carpet and into the floor, tied several knots in the rope, tied the rope to the eye and—voila! A fire-escape! Next, came the test run. Under protest, Adam squeezed himself part way out of the twofoot square window. Dad handed him the rope—the end of the rope—and shoved him the rest of the way out. As they say, the problem wasn’t so much the fall as the sudden stop at the end. Turns out that being handed twenty feet of rope as you launch from a window, eighteen feet above the ground isn’t all that helpful, as Adam indicated when he croaked up to my father

• In the state of Texas, it’s against the law to milk a cow that’s not your own. • You might be surprised to learn that when Walt Disney first released the animated film “Sleeping Beauty,” in 1959, it was a boxoffice flop. However, the success of the various re-releases -- in 1970, 1979, 1986, 1995 -- have made it one of the most successful films released in 1959, second only to “Ben-Hur.” The domestic total gross amounts to $623 million (when adjusted for the inflation of ticket prices), which puts “Sleeping Beauty” in the top-40 films of all time.

WEEKLY SUDOKU

Thought for the Day:

This deal occurred in the semifinal of the 1992 playoffs to select a team to represent the United States at the World Team Olympiad later that year. When Eric Rodwell and Jeff Meckstroth held the North-South cards against David Berkowitz and Larry Cohen, the bidding went as shown. Cohen’s two-diamond opening showed a weak two-bid in either major. Meckstroth’s twonotrump overcall was natural, ostensibly describing a hand of opening notrump strength. He was gambling that Berkowitz wouldn’t know which suit his partner had and would lead the wrong one. North-South then settled into three notrump after Rodwell’s Stayman inquiry did not bear fruit. As Meckstroth had hoped, Berkowitz did indeed lead the wrong suit, opting for a low spade.

Declarer took East’s nine with the king and immediately returned a spade, hoping Berkowitz would duck. If the king of diamonds was favorably located -- and it was -nine tricks would be there for the taking. But Berkowitz had been paying close attention to the proceedings and was not about to let Meckstroth steal the game-going trick. Knowing full well at this point that his partner’s suit was hearts, Berkowitz rose with the ace of spades and accurately fired back the queen of hearts to cater to the possibility that South might hold the singleton jack. When the smoke cleared, declarer was down three for minus 300. At the other table, North-South wound up in four diamonds, making five for a score of plus 150, which gave their team a combined pickup of 450 points (10 IMPs) on the deal.

GulfCoastNewsToday.com From Baldwin County’s news innovator since 1890

The ‘Canary’ in the BCA coal mine During my tenure in the legislature in the 1980’s and 1990’s, political party affiliation was not as pronounced as it is today. We were identified within the Montgomery/ Capitol arena as either a conservative pro-business legislator or a liberal pro-union/pro-trial lawyer legislator. Similar to when someone new arrives in Alabama and they are asked to choose sides in college football, you have to make your allegiance with either Alabama or Auburn. We had to make the same choice as legislators. I chose early to be on the side of business. I even took a leading role and was the sponsor of most of the Tort Reform legislation. Therefore, most observers rated me an arch pro-business conservative. The tort problem was so bad in Alabama that we were considered the black eye of the nation. Time Magazine called us “Tort Hell.” With the help of the National Business Community, along with Alabama business leaders and legislators, the Business Council of Alabama was formed. The BCA grew to become the most powerful organization in Alabama. When Bob Riley became governor in 2002, he orchestrated a game plan to take control of the BCA. He succeeded and put his boy, Billy Ca-

edged along. Then cars began to move in the opposite lane slowly. Very slowly, but they were moving. I noticed a big grin on the first driver’s face. People in the car following were laughing. It was so with every vehicle I met. I was flabbergasted. It was the end of a workday when some people are filled with frustrations. Roadwork slowed their progress, but those people were laughing. “Why? What in the world?” I asked myself. My lane began to creep. As my car edged forward, I saw one of the flagmen, rather a flag woman, signaling us on. Now I knew the reason for those smiling faces I met. With each flip of her bright orange flag, the woman did a little dance. As if by magic,

Pouncey’s bid to be the State Superintendent of Education may lead back to Canary. The Board of the BCA and everyone concerned with the future of Alabama should be asking why in the world Canary has taken a once proud and effective organization into such controversial issues that have so little to do with core business interests. The answer is simple – Billy Canary has numerous conflicts of interest. During his tenure as President of the BCA Canary has continued to maintain outside consulting contracts that pose clear conflicts with his role at BCA. However, this should come as no surprise since Billy Canary’s home is New York. Any organization that does not adapt ultimately cannot survive. BCA is at a critical crossroads in its existence. If the leadership of the organization does not replace Canary and move quickly to realign BCA with the interests of its members, its days as a vital voice for Alabama Business may be over. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the state legislature. Steve may be reached at www. steveflowers.us.

my annoyance over the day’s petty happenings and inconvenience of the roadwork faded. I laughed aloud. I felt a bit relaxed. I could not wait to get home to tell my husband about the highway flag woman who transformed wrinkled brows to laughter lines. I wondered if she knew what a therapist she was. After I wrote a column about that experience, the flag woman wrote to me. I treasure her note and have it somewhere in my files. And, yes, she knew and was glad her actions relieved tensions that hot, uncomfortable day. We all get wound up in ourselves and forget that the rest of the world lives with frustrations, too Every time I am reminded of the flag woman’s little dance on the highway under the hot sun, it makes me smile and lifts my spirits.

SILVERHILL — The Town of Silverhill should have a new police chief by the end of June, first of July, officials said following a special work session May 23 at town hall. The final two candidates, Marcus Green and Phillip Robinette, met with Mayor Tim Wilson and

council members Bert Jones, Wayne Gruenloh and Shirley Stephens during the Monday work session. Wilson, Gruenloh and Stephens also met with candidate Kevin Neal Brock on May 17. Jones was not present at that meeting. Council members Jared Lyles and Mike

MONTGOMERY – The North girls and boys posted hard-fought victories Wednesday night over the South in the North-South All-Star basketball all-star competition with a crowd of more than 2,500 in attendance at Auburn University-Montgomery’s Basketball Complex. North’s girls won 76-67 to improve to 18-3 in the series that got underway in 1997, and the North boys captured a 75-64 win and now holds a 48-27 edge in a series that got its start 64 years ago in 1953. Earlier in the day the North also swept the firstever all-star cross country competition and the North won 16-47 – running at AUM’s on-campus 3.1-mile course. Cross Country was added to the North-South all-star competition this year. The All-Star contests are part of the AHSAA’s annual Summer Conference, now in its 21st year. The week-long convention is managed by the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association (AHSADCA). The all-star action concludes Thursday with the North-South volleyball match at AUM at 4 p.m. The 58th AHSAA North-South Football All-Star Game will be the final all-star event Thursday night at Cramton Bowl at 7 p.m.

NORTH GIRLS 76, SOUTH GIRLS 67: Homewood’s Ajah Wayne scored 22 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had three steals to earn MVP honors for her team and led the North to its 18th victory in the 21-year series. She had 16 points in the first half – virtually unstoppable when going inside and dead-on at the foul line as well. LeFlore’s Daisha Bradford had 15 points, four steals and five rebounds to capture MVP honors for the South. Hazel Green’s Brooke Hampel added 12 points, Allie Cruce of Lauderdale County had 11, Karleigh Sledge of Deshler chipped in nine and Athens’ Alexis Woods had eight to round out the North offensive leaders for North coaches Mike Chase of Spain Park and Lisa Bates of Sand Rock.

The South was coached by Geneva’s Rich Bixby and R.C. Hatch’s

Willie Morgan. The North dominated inside out-rebounding the South 53-36.

NORTH BOYS 74, SOUTH BOYS 64: Huffman guard Travarus Carroll had a game-high 27 points to help the North boys win for the 48th time in the 75-game series. No bucket was bigger than his startling round-house dunk with 57 seconds left in the third quarter that put the North ahead 48-40. The South rallied midway through the fourth period to tie the game at 53-53 but Carroll sank a 3-pointer just under the four-minute mark to push the North ahead by four 62-58. Carroll, the North MVP, finished 8-of-11 from the field, including 3-of-3 from the 3-point arc, and was 8-of-10 at the foul line. He also had five rebounds. Trey Jemison, a 6-foot-11 center from Homewood, added 13 points, 11 rebounds and two blocked shots for the North, coached by Paul Bryant’s Shon PeckLove and Muscle Shoals’ Neal Barker.

North runners sweep first all-star competition at AUM AHSAA.com MONTGOMERY – The North girls and North Boys swept the South Wednesday morning in the first-ever North-South All-Star cross country competition held on the campus of Auburn University-Montgomery. The North girls won 20-35. The North boys won 16-47. Cross Country was added to the North-South allstar competition this year. The All-Star contests are part of the AHSAA’s annual Summer Conference, now in its 21st year. The week-long convention is managed by the Alabama High School Athletic Directors & Coaches Association (AHSADCA).

ners for the North, rounded out the top-five finishers. Jensen and Steely earned MVP honors for their respective all-star teams.

Athletes of the month announced Kevin Durant, Katie Ledecky are Sports Academy Athletes for June DAPHNE – Golden State Warriors basketball star Kevin Durant and American swimmer Katie Ledecky have been named the United States Sports Academy’s Male and Female Athletes of the Month for June. Durant was named the MVP of the NBA Finals series after scoring a team-high 39 points in the Warriors’ 129-120 seriesclinching win against Cleveland on 12 June 2017. Durant scored at least 30 points in each of the series’ five games, averaging 35.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. He also shot 55.5 percent from the field and made 47.4 percent of his three-pointers. Ledecky won three national titles at the Phillips 66 National Championships in Indianapolis, Ind., on 27 June 2017. Ledecky won the 800 meter freestyle race in 8:11.50, the fastest time in the world in the event this year. She also won the 200 meter race with a time of 1:54.84, the fastest time in the world this year, and won the 400 with a time of 3:58.44, the third-fastest time ever. The second place finisher on the men’s side was Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal and third place went to Canadian hockey player Sidney Crosby. Nadal won his 10th French Open title by defeating Switzerland’s Stan Wawrinka 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 in straight sets in the championship

field and strive for long runs but couldn’t execute some smaller objectives like red zones, pass protection, or short-yard runs. The offense is looking for poise all throughout the field. Quarterback Austin Allen is back in his senior season as last year he passed for 3,430 yards and 25 touchdowns. Pre-season All-American Center Frank Ragnow will be influential once again in the running and passing game. The defense last season for Arkansas was ranked 85th in points allowed per game (31.1). They have to replace all but one player (linebacker) in their front seven in a defense that is returning four defensive backs. Last season, the Razorbacks gave up the most rushing touchdowns (39) in the nation.

VANDERBILT Success has been rare for a football program that has only been to a bowl game eight times. Within

round on 11 June 2017 in Paris. Nadal has now won 15 Grand Slam titles, which puts him in second place all time behind Roger Federer’s 18. Crosby, the Pittsburgh captain, won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player of the playoffs as the Penguins defeated the Nashville Predators 2-0 on 11 June 2017 to win the Stanley Cup for the second consecutive season. It was Crosby’s second consecutive Conn Smythe Trophy. Crosby, a native of Canada, registered 19 assists and 27 total points in 24 postseason games for the Penguins. The second place finisher on the women’s side was American basketball player Diana Taurasi and third place went to American softball player Shay Knighten. Taurasi, of the Phoenix Mercury, broke the WNBA all-time scoring record when she recorded 19 points against the Los Angeles Sparks on 18 June 2017. Taurasi’s 7,494 career points surpassed Tina Thompson’s 7,488. Taurasi reached the mark in just 13 seasons, while Thompson’s record had been set in 17. Knighten, a University of Oklahoma softball player, was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Women’s College World Series after hitting .350 with seven hits, four runs, two doubles, one home run and eight RBIs for the Sooners, who defeated the University

of Florida in a best-of-three series to win the championship. Knighten’s three-run double put the Sooners up for good in the final game of the series, which Oklahoma won 5-4 on 6 June 2017. Each month, the public is invited to participate in the Academy’s worldwide Athlete of the Month program by nominating athletes and then voting online during the first week of every month. The online votes are used to guide the Academy selection committee in choosing the male and female monthly winners, who then become eligible for selection to the prestigious Athlete of the Year ballot. A worldwide public vote on the annual ballot is used to guide the committee in making the final selection. The Athlete of the Year Award is part of the United States Sports Academy’s Awards of Sport program, which each year serves as “A Tribute to the Artist and the Athlete.” The Academy presents the awards to pay tribute to those who have made significant contributions to sport, in categories as diverse as the artist and the athlete in several different arenas of sport. The awards honor exemplary achievement in coaching, all-around athletic performance, courage, humanitarian activity, fitness, and media, among others. The Academy’s American Sport Art Museum and Archives (ASAMA) annually recognizes these men and

women through its Sport Artist of the Year, Honorary Doctorates, Medallion Series, Distinguished Service Awards, Outstanding Athletes, and Alumni of the Year awards. This is the 33rd year of the Academy’s Awards of Sport program. The United States Sports Academy is an independent, non-profit, accredited, special mission sports university created to serve the nation and world with programs in instruction, research and service. The role of the Academy is to prepare men and women for careers in the profession of sports. Founded in 1984, ASAMA is dedicated to the preservation of sports art, history, and literature. The ASAMA collection is composed of more than 1,700 works of sport art across a variety of media, including paintings, sculptures, assemblages, prints and photographs. The museum is open free to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. For more information, go to ASAMA.org.

the past six years, the Vanderbilt Commodores have been to four bowl games and hope for another trip in the 2017-2018 College Football season. Among the eight offensive starters returning from last year’s team, Ralph Webb will be looking to make a big difference on the field once again. Webb rushed for 1,283 yards and 13 touchdowns and was the bright spot of the offense. There needs to be more production on offense, including quarterback Kyle Shurmur who only threw nine touchdowns last season. Vanderbilt does have a promising defense for 2017 but they will need to replace their best playmaking and an AllAmerican last season in Zac Cunnningham (125 total tackles and 16.5 tackles for loss). Oren Burks can potentially be the leader of a defense that was ranked 35th in points allowed per game (23). The Commodores will need more outside pass rushers from the defensive line to help the defense be more efficient when they play a

tougher schedule.

2012. Sumlin is on the hot seat because of his record against SEC conference foes of .500 percent or less starting in 2013 (lowest was in 2014 with .375).

School (7A). The were recognized at the Championship Coaches Banquet at the Renaissance Montgomery Convention Center July 21. The event closed out the 2017 AHSAA Summer Conference and All-Star Sports Week for member schools. The Making a Difference Award was established in 2011 by the AHSAA and AHSADCA to recognize individuals who go beyond their normal

duties as a coach, teacher or administrator to make a positive impact in their schools and communities. This year’s recipients include one principal, two head football coaches, head softball coach, two athletic administrators and an associate superintendent of education for the Dale County school system. “The recipients in this 2017 Making a Difference class are excellent examples of men and women who take their

positions as role models for their students, faculty and community very seriously. They are each outstanding choices for what this award stands for. Each have had a major positive impact in their communities and schools and across the state,” said AHSAA Executive Director Steve Savarese. “This award is the most important honor a professional educator in our state can receive. Characteristics considered for this pres-

tigious award include the recipient’s character, integrity and service, all of which have enabled these individuals to have a life-changing impact on the community or school where they serve.” Savarese said this special award exemplifies what makes educationbased sports so important. “This is one way we can honor them for the examples they set and the life lessons they teach on a daily basis,” he said.

United States Sports Academy was pioneer in sports for women in Saudi Arabia USSA.edu DAPHNE, Ala. -- The recent announcement that female students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will soon be allowed to play sports at school for the first time harkens back to more than 30 years ago when the United States Sports Academy became one of the first institutions to provide sports programs for women and children in that country. According to an an-

nouncement from the Ministry of Education, female students in Saudi Arabia will soon be allowed to play sports at school for the first time after the ministry overturned a longstanding ban of the practice. The ministry said Saudi girls would be allowed to start taking physical education classes in the upcoming school year. The announcement said girls sports offerings would be introduced gradually and “in accordance with the rules of

sharia,” or Islamic law. However, the Academy was a pioneer in providing opportunities for women and girls in sport in Saudi Arabia through an offshoot of a massive project with the country’s military beginning in the early 1980s. From 1981 to 1989, the Academy was contracted by the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) to undertake a comprehensive physical fitness, sport and recreation program involving thousands of military personnel at five bases across the country. At its peak, the program involved some 200 full time coaches and 300 support staff and 20 different sports and activities. The program included annual physical fitness testing for the RSAF personnel, the development and training of competitive sports teams and general recreational activities. These, and other services, were conducted over several years for thousands of service members in the kingdom. Because the Academy already had staff in place for this military program, its leaders offered base commanders at the five locations the services of the spouses of its personnel to provide physical fitness, sport and

recreation programs for the dependent women and children of the military personnel. “We went to the base commanders and the Air Force commanders and offered to do the programming at no cost, which we were pleased they accepted,” said Dr. T.J. Rosandich, current President and CEO of the Academy, who worked for the Academy in Saudi Arabia at the time as a senior executive on the project. “As a result of this arrangement, the Academy was among the first institutions ever to offer sports programs for women and children in Saudi Arabia. “We offered a wide range of physical fitness, sports and recreation programs, including swimming and drown-proofing, recreational sport activities and classes on topics as varied as nutrition and smoking cessation.” The program ultimately involved several hundred Saudi women and children. Through the 1980s and 1990s, the Academy had numerous additional successful projects with Saudi Arabia, including developing a master plan for sports facility development for the Ministry of Defense and

Aviation; recruiting and providing national coaches for various sports through the General Presidency of Youth Welfare; arranging a training camp in the United States for Saudi Olympic teams in preparation for the 1984 Olympic Games; and conducting numerous sports clinics and seminars. Founded 45 years ago, the Academy has contributed to the global quality of life by delivering sport education and service programs in 65 countries around the world. These have varied in scope from the full-charge conduct of a country’s entire national sport effort to individual coaching clinics, seminars and symposia. For more about Academy’s international efforts, go to USSA.edu/internationalsport-education/. Women in Saudi Arabia have long been strictly monitored for their style of dress and activities in public. Saudi women must cover their hair and bodies in public and are not allowed to drive or travel abroad without permission from a male guardian. The strict rules have also largely kept women from widespread participation in sports. Schools in Saudi Arabia remain segregated by gender.

Saudi Arabia first allowed girls to participate in sports four years ago, but the offer was only extended to those attending private schools. Just four women competed for Saudi Arabia in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2012, the kingdom sent just two women to compete in the Olympic Games in London after the International Olympic Committee suggested it might bar the country from participating if it did not do so. The education ministry has said allowing girls to participate in physical education and sports at school is part of the Saudi Vision 2030 plan, which aims to “diversify the Saudi economy” and expand opportunities for exercise for all citizens. The United States Sports Academy is an independent, non-profit, accredited, special mission sports university created to serve the nation and world with programs in instruction, research and service. The role of the Academy is to prepare men and women for careers in the profession of sports. The Academy is based in Daphne, Ala. For more information, call (251) 626-3303 or visit USSA.edu.

‘Manhunt’ follows one man’s quest to capture the Unabomber By George Dickie © Zap2it They were kindred spirits, two men with an intense distrust of technology and an ability to see things from a perspective few others could. Under normal circumstances, they might have been able to be friends. But Ted Kaczynski and Jim “Fitz” Fitzgerald were on opposite sides of the law, the former the serial bomber known as the Unabomber, and the latter the FBI profiler who would eventually apprehend him. The story of one of most notorious serial murder cases of the late 20th century is told to dramatic effect in the new Discovery Channel series “Manhunt: Unabomber,” premiering Tuesday, Aug. 1. It focuses on Fitz (Sam Worthington, “Avatar,” “Hacksaw Ridge”), an FBI agent and criminal profiler who pioneered the use of forensic linguistics to identify and ultimately capture Kaczynski (Paul Bettany, “Master and Commander,” “A Beautiful Mind”), an academic with a background in mathematics whose mail-bombing campaign from 1978-95 was responsible

equally obsessed with the case and talked about how he could not pull his head out of the manifesto.” Prior to filming, Yaitanes spent three days with the real Fitzgerald and listened to all his stories, which along with Kaczynski’s unpublished autobiography provided the framework of the series. Along the way, he found a few personality traits common to the two men. “You know, prying any kind of how-you-feel information out of real Fitz — it’s the same thing about Ted — they’re not easily accessed to how they feel about things,” Yaitanes says, “and I found that to be an interesting trait that was coming out in the course of conversation. And I think, too, with that particular generation ... like when you say like, ‘How did you feel about that?’ you get more factual answers than you get emotional answers, which I thought was an interesting admission that I think we tried to bring into it. “You see that our dramatization of Fitz tries to touch on that aspect that I thought was so fascinating about him, and it’s really what gave him the edge.”
