Court date set Davis due in court May 9 on child sex abuse charges By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Charles David Davis, 32, of Tallassee waived formal arraignment through his attorney Tuesday after being arrested on child sex abuse charges in March. Davis was indicted in February on charges of sexual abuse of child under 12 and three counts of first-degree sodomy. The indictment said Davis subjected a child less than 12 to sexual contact and engaged in first-degree sodomy on three occasions. Court records show Davis was out on a $10,000 bond for a 2018 theft arrest at the time of the sexual abuse arrest. Those records also show Davis pleaded guilty to theft in 2010 and has other burglary and theft arrests. He is due before Fifth Circuit Court Judge Steve Perryman on the sexual abuse charges See DAVIS • Page 11

Lenny and Mary Arnold have taken care of 101 foster children over 27 years. Mary retains painful memories of being passed over by couples when she was an orphaned child and decided she wanted to help children without parents.

County BOE honors nurses By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer

The Tallapoosa County Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution Monday to honor its school nurses during April. Dadeville Elementary School nurse Tanya Branch, Reeltown Elementary and High School nurse Regina Newman, Tallapoosa County Schools lead nurse Tammy Templeton, Horseshoe Bend School nurse Jean McCreight and Tallapoosa County Schools transportation nurse Wanda Lucas were recognized. Superintendent Joe Windle told the audience at the meeting the state funds only one nurse for the board’s central office and one school nurse. The school system pays its other nurses through local and federal taxes, according to director of student services and public relations Casey Davis. “I respect all of our groups of workers, from cooks, to bus drivers, custodians to See NURSES • Page 11

Fostering love Local couple has fostered 101 children over a quarter century By RON COLQUITT For The Outlook

ary Arnold recalls being “lined up like cattle” when she was 5 years old and hoping she would be chosen from the lineup to be adopted by a loving couple. That painful memory still lingers for Arnold, 62. But it’s led to her and her husband, Lenny, fostering 101 children over the past 27 years. The 101st, and last, is a 9-year-old girl living with them near Alexander City. “Married couples would come and they would look you over from head to toe and just decide if you had the right color of hair, color of eyes and decide if they were going to adopt you,” Mary

Arnold said. “They would look you up and down and decide if they wanted you. They would pick one and the rest of us was sent back to our room. I got to where I refused to come out of my room because I knew I wasn’t going to be picked.” Arnold was the youngest of five siblings. The oldest, a girl, was 9. She said her mother died when she was 5 and her father ran away because he was an alcoholic. “He severely abused me,” she said. “I was not a nice child, I was angry. I hated adults, didn’t trust adults, and pointed out that they were mean, hateful and lied. My family was ripped apart in front of me. I was raised in the (foster care) system.” Arnold was bounced from foster home to foster See FOSTER • Page 11

Ghosts of Alexander City’s past will come to life Saturday for the Living History Cemetery Tour. The tour will feature 10 figures who contributed Alexander City’s history and will tell visitors their stories from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Alexander City Cemetery. Russell Medical Foundation and Alexander City Theatre II (ACT II) are hosting the event. Russell Medical Foundation executive director Tammy Jackson said she had attended other cemetery tours where actors portray historical figures and wanted to do one for Alexander City. “We have such a rich history here in the Lake Martin area and a lot of

people have homes on the lake and even the younger generation know very little about us, so I thought it would be awesome to bring our history to life,” Jackson said. “We’re going to bring history to life, share it with a (younger) generation and let people know more about our area.” President and co-founder of ACT II Betsy Iler said Jackson approached her about having the groups co-host the event. The staff writers at Tallapoosa Publishers Inc. were recruited to meet with local historians, chose the figures and wrote the scripts.

News of son’s open marriage leaves his parents in shock DEAR ABBY: I am extremely upset. My son got married a year ago. We were very happy and have welcomed his wife into our family. He met us for lunch yesterday and announced that he and his wife have a polyamorous relationship. They will stay married, but both of them will date and have longterm relationships with other people. My husband and I are in shock. We have been married for more than 30 years and have always been faithful to each other. We thought we had set a good example. They are asking to be able to bring other boyfriends and girlfriends to our family events. I’m heartsick at the thought of watching them be affectionate with other partners. My granddaughter was a flower girl at their wedding. How do we explain this to her? I love my son, but does a relationship with him mean I have to abandon the values I have always felt were important to uphold? Right now he isn’t speaking to me because

DEAR ABBY Advice

he thinks I was not supportive enough when he told me. I feel like I’m being forced to accept this new lifestyle or not see my son. How should I handle this? -- DUMBFOUNDED IN DALLAS DEAR DUMBFOUNDED: Unless you are raising your granddaughter, you don’t have to explain anything. That will be her parents’ responsibility if they decide to expose her to your son and daughter-in-law’s lifestyle. As to your being forced to entertain his and his wife’s lovers, if it makes you uncomfortable -- which appears to be the case -- you are under no obligation to do so. Handle this by standing your ground and refusing to be emotionally blackmailed. Your son is an adult and

entitled to live his life any way he wishes. However, this does not mean that you must endorse it. Tell him you would love to see just him and his wife when they are spending time together. DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband, “Ken,” for 34 years. At home, he doesn’t pay much attention to me. Although he’s generally helpful around the house, he puts his needs first. Because we run a small business together, we are together most of the time. When we go over to friends’ for dinner or to a party, Ken complains that I don’t talk with him enough or notice if he’s alone and not engaged in conversation. He feels I should be more aware of him and stay by his side. I am more outgoing than he is. I make conversation easily and find people to be involved with. Is he right? Should his needs be more on my radar? Shouldn’t I have the freedom to enjoy those around me, assuming that

Ken can take care of himself? I know he’s less at ease in social situations, but I need interaction with others. -- WONDERING WHAT’S RIGHT IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WONDERING: Knowing Ken isn’t as socially adept as you, the kind thing would be to keep an eye on him at these dinners/parties to make sure he isn’t isolated. If he is standing by himself, ask him to join in the conversations you are having. Not every couple is equally outgoing, and it may be a bit of a balancing act, but supportive spouses make an effort to compensate for the other’s deficits if asked to, as your husband has.

We should support Strand Sessions

“Find something you’re passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it.” — Julia Child

Today’s

Scripture

ood things in life can come free. Last Thursday kicked off the fourth annual Strand Sessions hosted by the Lake Martin Young Professionals. The concerts are held the first Thursday of the month from April through August at Strand Park and visitors are allowed to bring their own coolers. While the concert last Thursday was moved indoors to Ocie & Belle’s due to rain and performer Lily Rose’s guitar pickup broke, the event was still a success. Rose ended up borrowing a guitar from Andy Tucker, owner of Music Depot, and continued playing for the audience. Even with the rain and a technical difficulty delaying the concert, people still attended the event. Strand Sessions is a great thing for downtown and the community should support it. For one thing, the concerts help downtown businesses since visitors will end up shopping in them while in Strand Park. We should always support local businesses because they keep things lively in downtown. Having free concerts downtown is an amazing treat. Additionally, we should support the artists who perform at the concerts. A lot of these artists are new and others have performed in Alexander City before and have a connection to the area. This is a family friendly event that should receive a lot of support regardless of the weather. Events like this help support local businesses and bring the community together. Alexander City Chamber of Commerce vice president of business development Jacob Meacham said local businesses have more activity on nights the Strand Sessions is held. “The idea is yes, provide something fun and entertaining for people to do but also try to support our existing businesses in the downtown area as much as we can,” Meacham said. The next concert will feature River Bottom Blues Band on May 2. We want to thank the Lake Martin Young Professionals for hosting Thursday’s concert and look forward to the next one.

Daily Poll Tuesday’s question: Do you think gas prices are too expensive?

Prisons, lottery, guns remain hot topics

here is no question Gov. Kay Ivey’s infrastructure/ gas tax program was the cornerstone issue of this legislative session. This monumental legislation will be a tremendous enhancement for Alabama’s economic development for decades to come. Ivey and the legislative leadership deserve accolades for addressing this important project. They were indeed thinking of the next generation rather than the next election and Gov. Ivey deserves most of the credit. She reached across the aisle and garnered almost unanimous support from Democratic legislators. Indeed, the legislation passed the House 84-20 and passed 28-6 in the Senate. However, other major issues remain on the table. The Alabama Department of Corrections is seeking a $42 million increase in its budget to hire much-needed additional correctional officers. A federal judge has ordered the state to increase guards and mental health professionals. State Sen. Jim McClendon of St. Clair County is listening to his constituents and other legislators would be wise and well-served to be as diligent and in touch as McClendon. If they were, they would join McClendon in offering to let their people vote on a state lottery. There is a hue and cry from all corners of the state asking why Alabama doesn’t have a lottery and why we let our money go to Florida, Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee. Conservative estimates suggest a state lottery would generate between $66 million and $90 million in new revenue for Alabama.

STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt Alabama is one of only five states without a state lottery. McClendon will offer a proposal that would split the proceeds from a proposed lottery between the Education Trust Fund and General Fund budgets. Believe you me, it will pass if the public gets to vote on it. In every civic club I speak to around the state, the first question I am asked is, “Why in the world can’t we vote on and have a lottery?” McClendon is also continuing his crusade to stop motorists from having wrecks due to distracted driving. He has a proposal forbidding drivers from holding a cell phone and other devices while driving and said the bill is patterned after Georgia’s law. The state education coffers are overflowing therefore lawmakers may give teachers a pay raise. Sen. Arthur Orr and Rep. Bill Poole, the chairmen of the Senate and House committees, said such a raise is a probability. Even the General Fund has better revenue projections. State Rep. Steve Clouse, who chairs the House Budget Committee, has said he is cautiously optimistic there will be a small raise for state employees. It would be unusual for a super-majority Republican legislature to not pay homage to or adhere to some placating of gun owners in the Heart of Dixie. This year’s deference would allow people to carry a handgun without getting

a concealed carry permit. Another bill would allow church members to carry their guns to church. In bygone days, county sheriffs had a lot of political power. Long ago the legislature passed laws that allowed sheriffs to pocket money left over from jail food funds, a loophole that should have been closed years ago. Orr has offered legislation to stop this archaic practice, requiring jail funds to go into a separate account to be used only for feeding prisoners. Sen. Rodger Smitherman has again offered legislation requiring law enforcement officers to collect data on race and traffic stops. His bill cleared the Senate unanimously last year but failed to come up in the House. Criticism has been aimed at payday loan companies in recent years, even catching the ire of Republican legislators, and a proposal has been offered to extend the time people have to repay such a loan from two weeks to a minimum of 30 days. The House of Representatives is mourning the loss of Rep. Dimitri Polizos, who was in the restaurant business in Montgomery for generations. He was a true gentleman, an active church member and leader in the Greek community in Montgomery. He epitomized what people should expect in legislators. He was a citizen legislator who was a business and family man first and legislator as a civic contribution.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Realâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mail still means a lot to recipients

irst Saturday was dreary and cloudy, looking as though the bottom would fall out any minute and it would pour rain all day. I was fooled but it did stay very moist outside and I decided not to work on a yard sale, hoping for sunny days early in May. Happy birthday to Martha Loyd of Goodwater, whose birthday is April 14. Many things are celebrated this month besides Confederate heritage; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also National Letter and Card Writing Month, although I know not so many people write letters and send them through the mail anymore. But everyone loves to receive â&#x20AC;&#x153;realâ&#x20AC;? mail, especially seniors who are not into the computer age. Send that note, card or

The Outlook

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist Easter message you know will delight the recipient, especially if they are far away. My mail has slowed down and surely it has a lot to do with the rising cost of postage which is now up to 55 cents for a letter. Unfortunately, the job done now on mail â&#x20AC;&#x201D; some wrongly delivered, some damaged by machinery â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is no better now than the service we enjoyed for 5 cents. One time I had to mail a Christmas card three times. First the stamp apparently got stuck to something else and was lost

then it was returned with the stamp attached. Mail going overseas and to Canada now requires a worldwide stamp and is readily recognized as mail leaving the country. While my mother was alive, she wrote to me about every 10 days and I would answer her as often. If my mum didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear from me, she would wonder if I was ill or something bad had happened. Later in her life, when health issues were more prevalent, she would hold the letter until she had the â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am well nowâ&#x20AC;? one to send me so that I would not worry about her. My mother and I were very close during my upbringing and I was able to be very girly with hand-me-downs from mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest sister Teresa,

just six years my senior. Mothering Sunday in England is based around the date of Lent and took place March 31 this year. It was my sister Sallyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday the 29th, so her two eldest, Kerrie and Lee, took Sally out for a wonderful lunch and special afternoon to celebrate both occasions together that Saturday. The Wetumpka Depot Players are rehearsing for a new musical called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bright Starâ&#x20AC;? by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell. The musical runs April 25 to May 11 so you may want to mark your calendar and get tickets ordered. Pre-show tickets are discounted and can be purchased by phone at 334868-1440 or by visiting www.wetumpkadepot.com.

The depot is now in its 39th season. The big fashion folks always seem to make some drastic changes expecting new purchases and this year it seems pastel colors are back in style. If they suit you or you have some pastels in storage, this summer will be a good season to break them out. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope this warming trend means that we are going into the spring now that the wafting pollen seems almost finished. Until next week, keep smiling.

Missing the crying baby, barking dogs and snoring wife

ast week, I had a speaking engagement with the Mississippi Rural Water Association in Jackson, Mississippi. You may wonder why I felt the need to double down on the Mississippi there since it should have been obvious that the conference took place in the Magnolia State. In June, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m doing the Louisiana Propane Gas Association in Gulf Breeze, Florida, so you just never know. It could have been Jackson, Alabama. They were a great group of folks and were all so very kind to me. Mississippi, in general, has been very good to me regarding speaking and comedy opportunities. I was there for two nights at the Hampton Inn. I was looking forward to a couple of good nights of sleep in a kingsize bed. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about the baby crying, the puppy whining, the dogs

JODY FULLER Columnist barking or the wife snoring in a cramped queen-size bed. It was going to be a little minivacation. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how it played out, though. While I hit a couple of my favorite restaurants â&#x20AC;&#x201D; nothing fancy, just good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I spent most of the time working. Because of the baby, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a lot of work done around here, so I have to take advantage of that hotel time when I can, not to mention that hotel tub. Man, I love taking a hot bath. This time, however, there was no tub, just a shower. When it came time to sleep, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. It was too quiet. I missed the crying baby, the whining puppy, the barking dogs, and

the snoring wife. And I stayed in my little spot on the side of the bed where I most certainly snored too. When I got home, Lucy was awfully sweet to me. I felt something was up and I was right. While I was off in Jackson town, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d taken it upon herself to get some baby chickens. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d even built a holding pen for them, using pieces of this and pieces of that from around the farm. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind because they are very inexpensive and we love fresh eggs. We usually purchase them from a family friend a few miles down the road. In a few months, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have our own. Now I just have to learn how to milk â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;em. That night, I was back in my little spot in the bed. The baby was crying. The puppy was whining. The dogs were barking. The wife was snoring. The husband was snoring. And the chicks were chirping or peeping

or whatever they do. I slept like a champ. Abby likes to point at the biddies and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chick chick.â&#x20AC;? She learned that from spending time up at mawmawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and pawpawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and I just learned that â&#x20AC;&#x153;biddiesâ&#x20AC;? is spelled with dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and not tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Over the next few days, Lucy started working on her coop, using mostly wood and wire from around the farm. It was her idea so I let her run with it. I helped here and there but it was mostly her. I gathered some old, rusty tin for the roof so I feel I contributed. I also got in the loft of the barn infested with dirt daubers to look for things. Mostly I was there for moral support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at least thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what our friend at the building supply store said when we were getting three 1x4s for the roof. I let Lucy do all the talking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you just here for moral support?â&#x20AC;? he asked. I reckon I was. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had these jokers

for just a week and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already doubled in size. I grabbed a bunch of caterpillars out of a tree yesterday afternoon and we fed them to the chicks. You talk about entertaining! Before that, mimi bought us chicken for dinner. They were in the other room. You talk about awkward. Next week, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be staying overnight in Georgia for a gig. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m already nervous about coming home from that trip. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no telling what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have waiting for me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for a kangaroo because that would be cool. Either way, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be there, at least for moral support.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might wake up tired, as your dream life has been so active. Some pleasant Ă&#x2026;ashbacks could appear during the day. You choose to be highly responsive to a boss who can be diÉ&#x2030;cult, stubborn and often demanding! Tonight: Know when to head home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Do not put yourself in the position of having to make plans or decisions for another person. Ultimately, playing this role can only backĂ&#x201E;re. Each person needs to make his or her own choices. Tonight: Enjoy visiting with a friend. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The Moon in your sign is a good omen. You will have a greater sense of well-being and will choose to do what you want. You might want to have a long-overdue conversation with a dear friend or loved one. The timing could be oÉ&#x2C6;. Tonight: Go for what you want. Nothing is stopping you! CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be mulling over a decision and will continue to. The answer will come forth only when the time is right. Not until tomorrow or the next day will you be able to make a decision. You might hear some important information today. Tonight: Nap and then decide. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A meeting pushes you to take a stand. Others will follow your lead. You usually are full of energy, but not today. Take a break if need be. Someone might be more confusing than you had anticipated. A misunderstanding could be brewing. Tonight: Where your friends are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Listen to feedback. You could be confused by all the activity. You need to be more in tune with a roommate or loved one. No matter what happens today, connect-

ing on the same level could be diÉ&#x2030;cult, if nothing else. Honor a change in mood. Tonight: Adapt plans to the moment. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You speak your mind and another person hears you loud and clear. You might want to understand more about this person, where he or she comes from, and his or her expectations, too. Just smile when dealing with a diÉ&#x2030;cult person. Tonight: To the wee hours. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Understand where you come from and why you have the expectations you do. You might be disappointed by the outcome of a problem. Be happy that the issue is over, and move on. Use caution with funds. Tonight: In the whirlwind of the moment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Aim for what you want. Associates and friends appear to be supporting you. Oddly enough, you could experience a reversal of sorts. Do not count on your luck too much right now. Tonight: Share the evening with a special person. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a lionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share of work to do, and if you do not allow others to distract you, you will get all your work done. Do not minimize what you need to do. Others need to understand why you are so busy. Tonight: With a dear friend. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Stay in touch with another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. You could be more out of tune than you think. Even a conversation in which both of you only want the best could become confusing. Do not worry so much. Tonight: Midweek naughtiness. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Tension mounts. Your plate is full. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like it if someone pitched in, but you might need to ask. Confusion seems to surround even the best intentions. Tonight: Head home. Screen calls.

Section nearly decided Wildcats dominate Opelika to control section fate By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Benjamin Russell girls fall in double OT By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

After a sluggish start, Benjamin Russell’s girls soccer team definitely turned up the heat against Opelika in a section game Tuesday night. The Wildcats started to compete better and pick up the intensity, and they even scored a late goal to push the game to overtime. But the effort wasn’t enough to overcome the Bulldogs in sudden death, and Opelika walked away a 2-1 victor, ultimately clinching the section title on the fifth tiebreaker. “When you get into a sudden death situation, it is what it is and we came out on the short end of it,” BRHS coach Lee Wagoner said. “I would’ve liked to win that game, of course, and all the credit to Opelika; they’re a good team. But we’re a good team too, so these are the battles in sports that build character. This is what makes you a better team all the way around.” Benjamin Russell was lucky to get out of the first half without any damage as the See GIRLS • Page 12

The first time Benjamin Russell and Opelika’s soccer teams met, it was a nail biter. It can down to the final minutes, and it was the Bulldogs who got the best of BRHS. But Tuesday’s meeting was a much different story. Benjamin Russell came out of the gate swinging and peppered the Bulldogs with goals. That resulted in a 5-1 victory over Opelika and leaves BRHS in control of its own section destiny. The Wildcats now need to defeat Russell County by just three goals Thursday to earn the section title; they already beat the Warriors, 5-0, once this season. “Hopefully we’re starting to turn the corner,” BRHS coach Austin Teel said. “We’ve been kind of up and down, but I think we made that turn (Tuesday). We responded well from the loss. We came out ready and hungry. Typically we’re a second-half team, but I thought we took over that first half and set the tone for the game then remained that way throughout.” Opelika actually looked like the better team in the first few minutes of the game, opening the contest with three fairly decent scoring opportunities early on. A deflection save by Campbell Woods turned the tide for Benjamin Russell, though, as less

than a minute later the Wildcats had worked their way up field. Brandon Welcher sent a cross to Luke Harvey, who immediately buried it to give BRHS a 1-0 lead in the 13th minute of action. Just 10 minutes later, Lucan Yates broke away from the pack, split a pair of Opelika defenders and got into a one-onone breakaway with the goalkeeper. He hit a perfectly-placed shot to keep things in Benjamin Russell’s favor. Santos Chimalhua finished a corner kick opportunity with five minutes left in the first half, and the Wildcats led 3-0 at the break. “Tonight we knew we had to earn the win,” Teel said. “I think the first

Benjamin Russell’s Asia McWaters threw a five-inning perfect game against Russell County on Monday night.

Five-inning perfection McWaters throws perfect game in win over RCHS STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Asia McWaters was untouched by Russell County on Monday night as the Benjamin Russell softball team took down its Class 6A Area 6 foes in a five-inning affair, 10-0. McWaters struck out 14 of the 15 batters she faced in the perfect game, and she needed only 58 pitches to ensure the victory. McWaters also helped her own cause with a pair of hits; she also scored two runs. Benjamin Russell’s offense got to work early and often, scoring four runs in the opening frame and at least one run in all five innings it went to bat. The Wildcats finished with seven hits but also took advantage of five Russell County errors. McWaters started the offense off well by lacing a line drive to center field to lead off the game, and she advanced to

second on a passed ball. Taylor Harris then reached on an error that gave McWaters enough time to score. Haylee Hunter could’ve been out on a strikeout but she rushed to first base on the dropped third strike and arrived safely. Harris stole home to go ahead 2-0 then Ryann Ruffin plated two more runs with a two-out single before the inning’s end. Ruffin finished the game as the offensive leader, going a perfect 3-for-3 with a pair of RBIs and two runs scored. Bailey Underwood and Taylor McVey also had singles for the Wildcats (1613).

time we played them, we thought we’d just have to show up and we’d win. But we knew tonight going into this game for us to win the section, we had to win by two goals. So I set that goal for them and they responded to it.” Benjamin Russell kept the pedal to the metal in the second half with a goal by Lucas Roberts and another point-blank shot netted by Luke Harvey. Although Opelika did score one goal on a direct kick with under 15 minutes to play, Woods looked strong throughout the game and the Bulldogs certainly had their opportunities. Woods finished with eight saves on the night. “The ultimate goal tonight was to keep

a shutout,” Teel said. “That’s been our challenge all year long is we need to start having shutouts to take care of business. Most of the time when playoffs come, you’re going to win 1-0 or 2-0; you’re not going to win by a lot of goals like we did tonight, so we wanted to start cleaning up the mental mistakes in the back.” In addition to the victory, Benjamin Russell also honored seniors Harvey, Roberts, Dylan Riley, Yujal Patel, Deshaun Gonzalez and Chimalhua prior to the game. The Wildcats have just one final home game left, a Saturday afternoon matchup with Smiths Station in a makeup contest starting at 2 p.m.

our teachers to our administrative support people, our administrators, but there’s not a group that has earned more respect than this group of teachers and yet the state of Alabama doesn’t fund nurses for our schools,” Windle said. “As you go around and you see your legislators and you see folks, you need to say, ‘Our schools — every school — needs a nurse and it needs to be funded’ because the workload is not going down, in fact it’s going up. You need to be a part of helping our school system get the desired funding that we need in order to fund a nurse at every school without us having to take it out of local dollars or out of the school’s federal title dollars.” Windle read Branch’s daily schedule of students she regularly helps not including walk-ins and emergencies. Windle said Branch had 2,889 entries in her daily log from Aug. 6 to Oct. 18, 2018. “This doesn’t include as I said walk-ins, it doesn’t include student illnesses, random accidents, random incidents, doesn’t include other medication that may be required to be administered,” Windle said. “Ladies, thank you for what you do.” Windle said the nurses help serve the students’ needs. “I don’t think people in education understand the workload and what our nurses do every day in our schools,” Windle said. Templeton said the school nurses have started adding medication to stop narcotics overdoses and are preparing to make packs to stop major bleeding. “We work very hard at what we do because we love it,” Templeton said. “They work very hard; they don’t get enough recognition except this time of year.” Lucas said she loves her job as a transport nurse.

Benson, Phala Graves, Roberta Russell, Louise Day and Sara Robinson. “They’re all interesting.” Iler said. “I knew Billy Hardy when he was alive and loved him. He’s such a warm and wonderful person and to see (actor) Tommy Davis bring him back to life is wonderful.” To prevent bottlenecking at the cemetery, Jackson said there is also a free arts and crafts show from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at The Mill Two Eighty where visitors can wait before taking a bus to the cemetery. Jackson said there will be food vendors and the Home Depot will sponsor a children’s workshop from 10 a.m. to noon. “(People should go to the event because) they want to learn about the history plus they can pick up a great piece of art because we’ve got over 30 amazing artists,” Jackson said. “They can come and grab a bite to eat, but it’s a unique opportunity for you to hear first person from the different characters.” Jackson said half the proceeds will go to the Russell Medical

Foster home until she was 18, when she met and married Lenny, now 63, who is an ordained minister and pastors New Concord Baptist Church in Dadeville. The couple have two biological children and one adopted child. Lenny Arnold said his life in Alex City wasn’t that much better than his wife’s. His parents divorced when he was 2 and his mother moved to Milwaukee. There were five children in his family. When he was 13, he said authorities gave him a choice of residence after he broke into several vending machines in Alex City. “If there was a Coke machine in Alex City, I would open it,” he said. “I was a troubled kid. They told me to either go live with my mother in Milwaukee or go to reformatory school.” It was an easy decision, Arnold said, so he and his two brothers caught a train out of town for Milwaukee. Arnold said fostering wayward, needy children was an easy decision for his wife because of her background as an orphan but it took some convincing for him to get on board.

Not many people can say they drove into a train and won against the rail line in court but that is Phala Graves’ true story which will be featured in the Living History Cemetery Tour on Saturday. Graves’ great granddaughter Denise Graves is unsure when the incident occurred. Actress Pam Tindal, who is portraying Phala, said Graves ran into the train, which refused to move while it sat on the tracks in downtown Alexander City. “Phala is quite the character,” Tindal said. “She was very short and her husband (William) always wanted her to have the biggest car available, so she had to sit on pillows. She couldn’t see very well while she was driving. She blew her horn everywhere she went.” Tindal said Graves was driving through town to go fishing when she encountered the stationary train. Tindal said after blowing her car horn and getting angry, Graves drove into the train. Tindal said Graves was not injured. “(She) ended up getting a new car purchased by the rail line because when it went to court the local jurors found that she wasn’t at fault,” Tindal said. “She sounds like a force of nature; quite an interesting character.” Tindal said Graves was a determined person and someone she would have loved to have known. “I think that people will enjoy hearing about Phala simply because of her personality and the type of woman who she was,” Tindal said. “She obviously was used to having people move when she asked them to move and do things.”

Foundation and the other half will go to ACT II. “Our half will go to our scholarship program,” Jackson said. “We give out about $40,000 worth of healthcare scholarships, so that’s the primary mission of Russell Medical Foundation.” Tickets can be purchased at The Mill Two Eighty on Saturday and are $20 for adults and $10 for students. A bus will take visitors to the cemetery and tours will be going every 15 minutes. “I hope that we entertain (visitors),” Iler said. “I hope that we can impart to them some sense of the great history of this community. I hope that we can inspire them to get involved to take pride in their community and to get involved in whatever interests them.” Jackson said anyone with a party of five or more should call her at 256-215-7459 so they can be on the same tour. The event is sponsored by TPI, ACT II, National Endowment for the Arts, Russell Medical Foundation, Radney Funeral Home and Alabama State Council on the Arts.

continued from Page 1 “When he asked me to marry him, I told him to never forget that I have a mission,” she said. “I said, ‘We are going to have foster kids.’ I had felt the call all my life. “The joke around the house is he doesn’t even like kids but we’ve helped raise 101. He’s had some of the best times with some of the foster kids we’ve had. We had one little girl who was 18 months old, still in diapers, and she loved him.” The youngest child they have fostered was a 3-month-old baby and the oldest was a 17-year-old girl. They have been biracial, African-American, Hispanic and white. “The first was a newborn baby,” Mary Arnold said. “It was 3 months old but the size of a month old. It was malnourished, neglected.” The oldest had been sexually abused by her father, according to the Arnolds. “When they found out this was happening, the father would not accept that he did it and one day he got drunk and bragged about it,” Mary Arnold said. “He said it in front of the wrong person and they reported him and DHR

(Department of Human Resources) looked into it. The girl admitted it but she didn’t want to report her dad because that was her dad.” Only a few of the children have caused trouble in the Arnold home, the couple said. The most difficult was an 8-year-old boy they fostered for nearly four years. When he got angry he bit himself and beat himself on the head. One time he lost his temper and began verbally abusing Mary Arnold and her husband stepped in. “He told the boy, ‘I let you be in my home because she wants you here. I care about you but you will not abuse her because she lays her life down for you kids and you will not talk to her like that,’” she said. The boy is now a teenager and was adopted by a loving couple. “He is doing remarkably well,” Mary Arnold said. “It just took the right family to adopt him.” At one point the Arnolds said they had seven foster children living with them. “We had bunk beds all over the rooms,” she said. “We had fun and we

would take adventures. We fed them buffet style and the teenagers among them helped with the smaller ones.” DHR provides money for each child the Arnolds take in. At Christmas, DHR gives the foster children gifts and provides clothing as needed. Mary Arnold, who retired after 30 years as a licensed respiratory therapist and now works at a doctor’s office, instructs people on how to become foster parents. Only 16 of the children they have fostered over the years have not stayed in touch. The ones they have lost touch with were just infants when they took them in. Mary Arnold grew emotional when she recalled a boy they fostered invited them to his high school graduation and pointed them out to the couple that adopted him. “This is the family that helped me be what I am today,” he said, according to Mary Arnold. Examples such as those make the 101 children they have fostered worth it. “I think we have touched 101 lives,” she said.

Bulldogs came out firing on all cylinders. But keeper Sara Jones, who finished with 13 saves on the night, kept the Wildcats in the game early. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until more than 16 minutes into the game that BRHS finally got its first shot on goal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a golden opportunity by Makenzie Davis that was ultimately stopped by the fingertips of Opelikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeper. The Wildcats had only two shots on goal the entire first half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were a bit sluggish to begin the game,â&#x20AC;? Wagoner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got caught flat-footed a few times and we were getting outhustled to balls all over the field. As the game went on, we picked that up. This shows the resiliency of this team. We fought back hard even late in the game to tie it up and take it to overtime.â&#x20AC;? Opelika scored right out of the second-half gate as Opelikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erica Matthews netted one on a cross. The Bulldogs then remained ahead until the final five minutes of the game. It looked like Abigale Sims scored for the Wildcats off a Jordan Osborne rebound with about 4:30 remaining, but the goal was called back due to being offside. But Sims delivered the money shot two minutes later. Benjamin Russell methodically moved the ball up field, and Gabi Watson found Sims just outside the 8. Sims buried it to send the Wildcats into a flurry of celebration and ultimately send the game to overtime. After a scoreless first overtime, Opelika needed just 29 seconds into the second OT period for Amiya Brown to score off a deflection in front of the net. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had been working our left side primarily the whole game, so it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a surprise that was coming,â&#x20AC;? Wagoner said.

Benjamin Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Makenzie Davis, left, gets tangled up with Opelikaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fatima Santamaria on Tuesday.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew how to defend that. They just moved the ball well down the left side and made a play to finish it.â&#x20AC;? Because both Benjamin Russell and Opelika scored the same number of goals against each other and split their head-tohead matchups, the tiebreaker will come down to goals allowed against Russell County. Opelika shut out the Warriors twice already, while BRHS gave up one goal in the teamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only meeting so far so the Bulldogs should ultimately win the section. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put Benjamin Russell on the road for the first round of playoffs. BRHS honored Watson and Jones as part of Senior Night after the game.

Vickers drove in two runs with a double. She plated Mitchell, who had walked with two outs, and Abby Cheatam, who notched a single. Vickers led Horseshoe Bendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense with three hits, while Cheatam and Templeton each had two. Mitchell threw a gem in the circle, finishing with a three-hitter. She went the complete game and the only run she allowed was unearned. She struck out three and walked only one.
