JESUS ALIVE! Multiple Eyewitnesses, Multiple Occasions, Over Forty Day Period Eyewitness testimony has established that Jesus Christ has been raised to life three days after his execution by crucifixion. The teacher, who had performed acts of healing and taught multitudes of people was highly popular with the crowds. He was, however, resented by the establishment and the educated elite. Inside observers noted that he had been handed over to the occupying government for execution and that tremendous political pressure was brought to bear on Pilate to order him put to death. Initially, his followers fled the scene and deserted their leader. However, in multiple appearances after his death, multiple eyewitnesses in various combinations of people, in nu-
merous settings—even numbering as high as 500 people at one time—have reported seeing him and actually having conversations with him. These post-resurrection encounters took place over a 40-day period involving multiple people who had previously known Jesus. Though they had known him, they were not predisposed to believe that the formerly dead man would now be alive. In fact, they were reported to have hidden themselves behind locked doors, seeking to avoid authorities. Following these events, the leaders of the movement found a new boldness and were seen in Jerusalem publically bearing witness to the resurrection.

Can The Witnesses Be Trusted?
Historic Teaching of The Entire Church
Determining whether a recorded event actually occurred is not determined in a forensic laboratory. It is established by the credibility of the witnesses. The resurrection has quite a number of witnesses with a different nature about them. For example, the witnesses describe conversations that occurred in multiple settings and over multiple occasions — nothing like, for example, a brief bigfoot sighting. No one would die for a lie, yet every Apostle (all but one martyred), died sticking to their stories. Many who have examined the evidence have found it persuasive. Simon Greenleaf, Harvard law professor in the 1800’s, applied the laws of evidence to the resurrection and the author of the 3-volume textbook on the laws of evidence, was perfectly comfortable writing a book on the subject: “The Testimony of the Evangelists.” Albert Henry Ross was a freelance writer in England who wrote under the pen name, Frank Morrison. He had studied the life of Christ and wanted to write a book about his final days without the trappings of the su-
In recent years, some have criticized the Christian faith on the basis that there are “So many different denominations.” However, when it comes to the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there has historically been a unified expression of the belief in this event. Here are some examples:

pernatural. However, his research led him to conclude that the resurrection had actually occurred. His title changed from “Jesus, the Last Phase”
to “Who Moved the Stone?” The opening chapter is entitled, “The Book that Refused to be Written.”
ANALYSIS: What Do These Events Mean? If Jesus really rose from the dead, it is the biggest event in the history of the world! It would clarify the identity of the person of Jesus Christ. If alive, then his claims about his divine Personhood are true. Romans 1:4 explains, Jesus was “declared to be the Son of God with power… by the resurrection from the dead.” An actual resurrection would mean that Jesus is exalted to the highest place of authority in the entire universe—that he possesses “all authority in heaven and on earth” (Matthew
28:18) —and we had better respect it! The resurrection means Christ’s death has meaning, that the sacrificial death of Christ on the cross has been accepted and our debt is paid. The physical resurrection of Jesus has a spiritual impact within believers. “He has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3, HCSB). The resurrection would mean that death is not the end and that those who know Christ possess eternal life. This is the biggest event in history!
On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead. — The Apostles Creed He was raised from the dead with a glorified body and appeared to His disciples as the person who was with them before His crucifixion. — Baptist Faith & Message Christ did truly rise again from death, and took again his body, with flesh, bones, and all things appertaining to the perfection of Man's nature… — Thirty-Nine Articles of the Anglican Church On the third day he arose from the dead with the same body in which he suffered...— Westminster Confession, Presbyterians and Reformed
Is This Real News? This is a paid ad and not the reporting of the Tallassee Tribune. However, this is not only real news, it is also good news! The New Testament teaches the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, not as a figure of speech, but as a literal event. Here is First Corinthians 15:3-7: For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time...

City seeks grant to give first responders better broadband service By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
The Tallassee City Council voted unanimously during its April 9 meeting to apply for a grant through the USDA to fund the installation of broadband service to the police department, Fire Station No. 1 on North Ann Ave. and Fire Station No. 3 in the Industrial Park. Telecommunications companies, rural electric cooperatives and utilities, internet service providers and municipalities may apply for funding through USDA’s new ReConnect Program to connect rural areas with insufficient broadband service.
“There are three brackets of the USDA grant and the one that we are going after is 100 percent with no match,” Mayor Johnny Hammock said. “No harm no foul if we get it. It’s a long shot, I’m going to be honest with you. Top priority goes to first responders. That will give us an edge and put us toward the top.” Congress appropriated funds in the fiscal year 2018 budget for this broadband pilot program. “High-speed internet e-connectivity is a necessity, not an amenity, vital for quality of life and economic opportunity, so we hope that today rural communities kick off
their rural broadband project planning,” Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue said. “Under the leadership of President Donald Trump, USDA has worked to understand the true needs of rural communities facing this challenge so we can be strong partners to create high-speed, reliable broadband e-connectivity.” USDA will make approximately $200 million available for grants as well as $200 million for loan and grant combinations and $200 million for low-interest loans. Projects funded through this initiative must serve communities with fewer than 20,000 people with no broad-

band service or where service is slower than 10 megabits per second (mbps) download and 1 mbps upload. Approved projects must create access speeds of at least 25 mbps download and 3 mbps upload. Priority will be awarded for projects that propose to deliver higher-capacity connections to rural homes, businesses, and farms. To help customers with the application process, the USDA is holding a series of online webinars and regional in-person workshops. The full list of upcoming public webinars and workshops can be found at the ReConnect Program’s resource portal at reconnect.usda.gov.
Tallassee FAMILY DENTISTRY Dr. Charles McCartha
Some people have given up on faith. They tried God and church, but when it didn’t bring them health or wealth or romanƟc happiness, they gave up. Magic is the aƩempt to control things in the invisible realm in order to guarantee results in our personal lives. The problem is that God cannot be forced to do our will. He doesn’t exist to make us happy; instead, we exist to please Him. Nevertheless, people of faith will tell you how the Lord has never leŌ them alone in the storm, how He provided wisdom when they didn’t know what to do, and how they found peace when they had regrets. They all say it’s been worth it. So, don’t give up on faith.

Troupe to appeal decision to condemn Hotel Talisi By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Hotel Talisi owner Wiley Troupe has informed the Tallassee City Council he will appeal its decision to condemn the building at a public hearing May 14 just before the regularly scheduled council meeting at 5 p.m.
Municipal building inspector Andy Coker told the council at its meeting Tuesday about the appeal hearing. City officials had already given Troupe 45 days’ notice to make needed structural repairs and Troupe was also given an immediate notice in March to fix metal flashing hanging from the roof. “There is flashing hanging off the
front and the sides,” Coker said. “That is an immediate danger if that flashing comes down.” Instead of making the repairs, Troupe asked city officials for a 60-day extension but Mayor Johnny Hammock said the city would not wait that long to ensure safety downtown. Residents and business owners in the
area say debris, such as bricks, have begun to fall from the building which is located adjacent to a well-frequented park in the area. Hammock said a brick that falls from the roof of a third-floor building can travel three times the distance it falls from. See APPEAL • Page A7
ALDOT denies request for traffic light at Walmart
READY, SET, HUNT
By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Tallassee Mayor Johnny Hammock announced at Tuesday’s city council meeting the Alabama Department of Transportation denied a request for a traffic light in front of Walmart on Highway 14 in Tallassee because there is not enough traffic. Hammock said ALDOT completed a requested traffic study and determined traffic at the intersection did not meet minimum vehicular volume. However, in the first year of Walmart’s operation since its opening in 2014, 35 automobile accidents were documented in front of the store, according to police reports. ALDOT said the city would be billed for the cost of the study.

County set to vote on property tax By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Voters will go to the polls April 23 in Elmore County to renew ad valorem taxes for education totaling 10 mils but even if voted down Elmore County residents will still pay 10 mils. “It has been 10 mils,” Elmore County school system superintendent Richard Dennis said. “The total on this is only 10 mils and regardless of outcome will only be 10 mils.” Currently Elmore County residents are paying for 7 mils they approved more than 20 years ago through three separate measures and are up for renewal due to state law. The other 3 mils Elmore County residents are currently paying, but did not vote on is due to Amendment 778 to the See TAX • Page A7

THE TALLASSEE TRIBUNE
‘Titanic’ and ‘Ben-Hur’ were different versions for different generations I t was interesting to watch the 1953 version of “Titanic” on Turner Classic Movies recently and compare it to James Cameron’s 1997 epic. The character plots in the 1953 “Titanic” come off as somewhat clichéd but standard for Hollywood back then. Actor Clifton Webb portrayed the patriarch of a dysfunctional family that is ultimately reunited briefly due to the collision of the ship with an iceberg. It’s been cited as his most dramatic role. Richard Basehart appeared as an alcoholic, recently defrocked priest who’s ultimately redeemed by the tragedy. The 1997 version wasn’t a remake of the earlier movie but they both utilized passengers and temporary romances in their frontline plots. Cameron’s edition had an advantage of A-list actors in the key roles. The 1953 version stays pretty much within the relationships of first-class passengers while the late ‘90s edition purveys a somewhat predictable fling between a high-society female and a lower-class ruffian. That said, most of the actors in both movies fulfill the expectations of their roles, as epitomized by Webb’s chilly aloofness to the deterioration of his family and Billy Zane’s portrayal of a
WILLIE MOSELEY
Columnist repugnant elitist. Obviously, another advantage for the 1997 version was its use of CGI (computer-generated imagery). Special effects were light years ahead of where it had been in 1953. The sinking sequence in the earlier movie shows the Titanic sliding under the surface by its bow in one piece. After the wreck was discovered in 1985, it was determined the hull had broken in half, so Cameron’s effort effectively updated the calamity. Then there are the 1959 and 2016 editions of “Ben-Hur” based on an 1880 novel. In this scenario, the earlier film is more impressive and enduring. Starring Charlton Heston in the same decade he portrayed Moses in “The Ten Commandments,” “Ben-Hur” was another Biblebased epic that was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won 11. The huge spectacle was considered a movie for the ages. Therefore, the 2016 re-imag-
ining of “Ben-Hur” had its work cut out for it. Executive producers Roma Downey and Mark Burnett are known for their work with faith-based movies and television shows. There were differences in the plotlines. As I recall, Jesus appeared several times in the 1959 movie but his face was never shown, adding to the reverence of those scenes. However, Christ is an upfront character with a speaking role in the more recent movie. The story’s villain, a Roman nobleman named Messala, experiences a different fate in each movie following the climatic chariot race. Moreover, neither episode conforms to what happened to Messala in the original novel. While its CGI effects may have been impressive, the 2016 version of “Ben-Hur” didn’t have any bigname actors other than Morgan Freeman and was a box-office bomb. While contemporary movies may still be huge thanks to special effects, etc., sometimes an older version may have more going for it for unique reasons.

A wonderful trip includes a bath and a sandy sandwich
W
hen I decided to run my mouth for a living, I never imagined the places it would take me. I’ve been to Dadeville, Valley, LaFayette, all over the world. This past week, I was in Panama City Beach, Florida, where I was invited to speak to a group of wounded warriors and their spouses at the biannual Warrior Beach Retreat. Warrior Beach Retreat Inc. was established to provide retreats for wounded soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan and their spouses or caregivers. Participants come to Panama City Beach for an all-expenses-paid four-night and five-day retreat. Since I was only entertaining, we stayed four days and three nights, although they asked if we wanted to stay the week. Maybe next time. Warrior Beach Retreat president Linda Cope founded the nonprofit organization after her son Joshua was severely injured by an IED blast in Baghdad in 2006. Philip, her husband and the organization’s vice president, has ties to east Alabama. He’s from Union Springs and has family in Auburn. I didn’t know what the accommodations would be like. I thought they might throw us in a nearby slasher motel with salty tap water, for which I would have been grateful. I was super excited when I saw the actual beachfront condo. It was nice. It had a balcony overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms with huge tubs. I took a bath the first
JODY FULLER Columnist night there. I hadn’t had a bath in months. Last summer, we had an overnight trip to Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. My gigs are always more fun when I can bring the family along. Emily went on that one but since this one was during the week, it was only Lucy and Abby. The dogs, the chickens, the bees and the cat all stayed home. Maybe next time. All the meals are taken care of and there are things to do all week long at no cost to the attendees, such as golf and deep-sea fishing for the guys and salon and spa time for the ladies. This was the first time they’d ever had any type of entertainment. My performance went well. I knew it would. These were my people. They’ve already invited back for the fall retreat. How blessed am I? Although windy and overcast, the beach itself was great as always but the water not so much. Due to a storm and a strong riptide, there was no swimming in the Gulf. There was also no walking on your tiptoes, jumping up and down, trying to keep your swimsuit dry while still being out in the water like I do. That’s OK because the water was still really cold. The bathtub water was much better.
We enjoyed letting sweet Abigail play in the sand, although we’re not quite sure she enjoyed it. She crawls around here on the ground in the grass all the time but she wasn’t quite sure what to think of the sand. We had the basic beach toys that came with the condo but she wasn’t too keen on them. Maybe next time. We know she had fun, though, and so did we. After leaving the condo Wednesday morning, we drove back down 30A to the same public beach where we had so much fun last summer and had fun once again. The weather was perfect. There was a slight breeze and plenty of sunshine. While we didn’t get in the water past our ankles, we did hold Abby’s hands and walk her along the shore. She was so excited when the water came up to her feet. There’s nothing like seeing your child happy. Before we packed up to come home, Lucy made us turkey and cheese sandwiches. Beach sandwiches are so good: turkey, cheese, mustard, mayonnaise and sand. They put the sand in sandwich, that’s for sure. It was a fun few days with the family. It was an honor to be a small part of the Warrior Beach Retreat.

STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt
Impressive women are shaping policy in state
A
s I observe the legislature, it occurs to me that I am getting older. A lot of the legislators and lobbyists I have known over the years have moved on. Montgomery is no longer an “Old Boys Club.” A cursory look at a typical day at the Alabama Statehouse would surprise you. An increasing number of professional women are a major part of the lawmaking process — there are a host of brilliant women under 40 who are at the forefront and yield a great deal of influence over the process of policymaking in Alabama. First on most lists is, of course, Katie Boyd Britt, who was recently selected as head of the Business Council of Alabama. She is not only the first female to lead the organization but by far the youngest at 37. Britt is dynamic, fierce and talented. She will be an outstanding advocate for the business community in the state. She is the former student body president of the University of Alabama as well as a graduate of the UA Law School. Mary Margaret Carroll was the first female to join the state’s oldest governmental relations firm, Fine, Geddie and Associates. She is a brilliant superstar. Carroll is from a prominent Ozark family and possesses a temperament and professional demeanor that depicts class, character and intelligence. She has a proven combination of analytical, problem-solving, legal and communications skills. She is known for her quiet confidence and conscientious discernment. Carroll manages a broad array of interests in tech, insurance, natural resources, energy and education. Carroll and Britt have amazingly similar backgrounds. Both are daughters of the Wiregrass. Carroll is from Ozark and Britt is from Enterprise. Both were student government presidents and were Chi Omegas at UA. Alison Hosp, who represents the Alabama Retail Association, has proven to be one of the most effective and professional governmental relations spokespersons for several years. Maci Martin Walker is an outstanding contract lobbyist with the Christie Group. She has worked on dozens of policy measures over the years for major corporate clients. Katherine Green Robertson is the chief legislative liaison for the attorney general’s office. She is a native of Selma and a graduate of Auburn University and the UA Law School. Robertson previously worked for Sen. Jeff Sessions as counselor during his tenure on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Robertson was one of the few former staffers called back to Washington to advise Sessions during his confirmation process as U.S. Attorney General. Neah Mitchell Scott represents the revered Retirement Systems of Alabama. Scott is a brilliant attorney who possesses excellent interpersonal skills that hold her in good stead representing the 800-pound gorilla that is the RSA before the legislature. Scott is a native of Montgomery and a graduate of Auburn and the UA Law School. Holly Caraway very aptly represents the Department of Mental Health. She is a native of Trussville and earned a BA, JD and MBA from UA. She is admired because she is a passionate advocate for causes in which she believes. Ashley McLain is an extremely talented and confident lobbyist for the Alabama Education Association. Brittany Bryan represents the State Personnel Board.

Reconstruction documentary worth seeing
I
hope you will seek out a new documentary, “Reconstruction: America After the Civil War,” airing on Alabama Public Television. The documentary presented by Harvard professor Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr. is not a traditional PBS historical documentary in the style of Ken Burns. Rather, it is uplifting at times and harrowing at others but inspirational in the end. It was Holy Week in 1865 that saw two major events in our history. On April 9, 1865, Palm Sunday, Gen. Robert E. Lee surrendered to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant at the Appomattox Courthouse, ending the Civil War. Five days later, on Good Friday, John Wilkes Booth shot President Abraham Lincoln at Ford’s Theatre and Lincoln died the next day. Students are often asked to remember portions of Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address. In it, Lincoln painted the War Between the States as God’s way of punishing the North and South for the original sin of slavery: “Yet, if God wills that it continue, until all the wealth piled by the bond-man’s 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said — ‘The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.’” So picture this: from the firing on Fort Sumter to the surrender on this week in history, an entire region of the country took up armed resistance against the federal government. The South had the fourth- or fifth-largest economy in the world prior to the Civil War. The war shattered the South and deeply damaged the North. Amidst all the brutality and sadness, it appeared the United States would never recover. There is a complaint often heard that students are presented with a one-sided view of history. Truthfully, the winners write the history
MICHAEL BIRD Columnist while the losers stand by helpless. However, all of what I have read on this subject depict Gen. Lee not as a racist slaveholder but the greatest general of all time. It’s important to note he did not want himself or the Civil War period to be memorialized in any form or fashion. All of this came after his death. The Reconstruction period is somewhat of a lost historical moment today. We’ve seen “Gone with the Wind” but there was another side of this period that is not always discussed. This was the time of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois, of the first blacks in Congress and state governments, and the founding of black universities. But it was also the time of minstrel shows and the Ku Klux Klan. The 14th Amendment showed promise and it’s amazing how many of these promises were fulfilled. However, the dark underbelly of society didn’t take long to bring back discriminatory practices in the form of “convict leasing,” literacy tests and false accusations to re-enslave the newly freed people in a way. The 1865-1870 period was a hopeful time in which the North and South, and the races, were making sincere attempts to get along. Freed men were given their first opportunity to fully participate in our democracy. Lee died in 1870 and the South, bruised and beaten and having lost everything and now its hero, began to view the Civil War as a great lost cause. This documentary does not seek anyone presenting that romantic view of the Confederacy; there are
no antebellum dresses whatsoever nor anyone defending the agrarian way of life destroyed during the war. Ignoring the Southern perspective, unfortunately, gave the lost cause movement horrifying ways in which to manifest itself. One of the things most striking about this documentary is the impressionistic-styled recreations of events that occurred in the 1870s and 1880s. Using an animation technique like rotoscoping, where drawings are layered over real actors, gives the graphic violence an even scarier, almost nightmarish quality. Along with Dr. Gates strolling through the areas being discussed by the professors and professionals being interviewed, plus period music and pictures, this show has a completely different look than most programs of this type. Reconstruction was one of those government ideas that looked good on paper but unraveled despite valiant efforts by many. Keep in mind the Republican party was viewed as radical for forcing Reconstruction on the South while Southern Democrats vilified the Republicans for being soft on race. Less than 30 years after black men filled state legislatures and the halls of Congress, repressive Jim Crow policies and segregationist ideals became the norm and the idea we could live up to our founders’ ideals of democracy, freedom and equality seemed impossibly out of reach. This is why Reconstruction may be the most misunderstood chapter in American history. It deserves to be understood and Dr. Gates’ documentary is a great way to start.

Memory of foxfire, ghost stories remains vivid When I was 8, 10 or 12, I ran around with boys four or five years older than I was. My brother was about five years older and I followed him everywhere. Most of the time he didn’t seem to mind. My brother lived for hunting and fishing and if we had a free minute that is what we were doing. A group of boys lived in our area and they also enjoyed these things. There was Clarence Frazier, Aubrey and James Sellers, Olin Macon, and Bennie and Billy Cole, just to name a few. We would sit around and make up bush hooks, as we called them. We’d get a flour sack or pillow case and each boy would put whatever groceries he could scrounge from his mama’s pantry. These groceries ranged from cornbread, baked sweet potatoes, biscuits, and other leftovers from the family’s last meal. We drank our water from the creek and made coffee in a can. Yes, boys of that age drank coffee. Once we grabbed an old quilt or piece of duck cloth from the mill, we were almost ready to go. Down in the gully behind the mill houses were some hog pens and behind those pens you could find all the worms you needed. Then came the four-mile walk to Wallahatchee Creek down County
RONALD BRANTLEY Columnistt Road 4. The first thing we’d do is get into the creek and walk down it looking for bushes hanging over the water, then tie the fishing line on the bush, letting it hang into the water. A second boy would bait the hooks, then we would set up a makeshift camp and build a fire. Someone surely owned all of this property but no one seemed to care and we used it as if it was our own. With the camp set up we generally were a starving bunch of boys. Sometimes we would have a lantern but never a flashlight. As nighttime fell the area changed — shadows grew deeper, sounds grew louder and the feel of the swamp moved in around us. We would get out our flour sack of grub and spread it out on our blanket. Hungry boys will eat and enjoy just about anything. This was a clean-acting bunch of boys; I cannot remember any filth coming out of their mouths. If someone had sneaked out some chewing tobacco or maybe one of the boys had bought some Red Dot
cigars, we would sit around, chew and spit or smoke and cough, until we felt a little sick. Then someone would look down in the swamp and see some foxfire, which looks like a light shining in the swamp. Add that light to an owl’s hoot and young boys’ imaginations and you have got something. It’s funny but we never worried about snakes, just ghosts. Someone would say in a nervous voice, “Do you reckon that is Mr. Gibson looking for his killer?” You see, history states Mr. Gibson, who lived in the Gibson Mansion up on the hill, got a knock on his door one night, opened it and was shot in the face and killed. Everyone thought his son-inlaw did it but it was never proven. One day his son-in-law was found hanging from the limb of a tree and his killer was never found. Us boys had heard the story many times but each time we went fishing the story was told again and again. Sometimes we caught fish and sometimes we didn’t but it was the adventure that counted and I loved it all.

Tallassee seeking local bidders for LED upgrades By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Carmen Rodgers / The Tribune
The Tallassee City Council heard a proposal from Bob Prescott, a representative from LED Solutions, during last Tuesday’s work session. According to Prescott, transitioning from conventional lighting to LED would save money.
The Tallassee City Council tabled a motion to transition from conventional lighting to LED lighting so it can seek local companies to bid on the job. The council on Tuesday heard a proposal from LED Solutions’ Bob Prescott, who said switching to LED bulbs would save the city money. LEDs require much less energy than conventional bulbs and last longer. The proposal includes replacing lighting throughout city-owned and operated buildings such as city hall, the police station, community library, senior center and other facilities. “From what I understand, we will be able to make our payment with our costs savings,” councilmember Bill Godwin said. “That would include lights in all of the municipal buildings in Tallassee, so I make a motion that we approve this.”
Before the council could vote, councilmember Jeremy Taunton requested the job be opened for bids to include local electricians. “We can compare apple to apples and give our local companies an opportunity to bid as well,” he said. After listening to Taunton’s suggestion, Godwin made a motion to approve the proposal with the condition LED Solutions utilize local contractors for insulation if possible. Taunton countered by saying he wants local companies to have the same opportunity as LED Solutions to bid on the overhaul of the city’s lighting system. Godwin agreed and retracted his motion. Taunton said shopping locally sets an example for the city. “If we ask people to shop Tallassee, then we should shop Tallassee as well,” he said.
‘World of Storms’ author to sign books at Tallassee library

The gospel singing will be held at Mt. Vernon Theatre.
By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
Eric Robbins, author of “A World of Storms,” will hold a book signing at the Tallassee Community Library on April 25 from 3:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. Robbins was born in neighboring Tuskegee and spent much of his childhood in Tallassee, where his grandmother, Mary Everly Gauntt, lived. Robbins said it was his grandmother and mother, Patricia Ann Robbins, who inspired his newly released fictional book based around a group of teenagers who experience a near-death experience. During the experience, the teens find themselves in another world filled with natural disasters and colossal storms. The storms and natural disasters bring out special powers in each character but later they realize their true power was faith in God. Robbins said as a child people often told him he had a great imagination but he did not put a lot of thought into writing then. It wasn’t until his mother became ill that he realized he was a writer. “She had liver and heart failure,” he said. “The doctors could not understand how she was up and walking. She told me God gave her a second chance so she could have the opportunity to see me succeed in life.” According to Robbins, his mother’s words motivated him to begin writing the book and her

death moved him to complete it. “She came to me in a dream,” he said. “She said, ‘Eric, finish it.’” Robbins said the book was published by Outskirts Press in Denver, which caters to selfpublishing authors. “I sent it to Outskirts Press and they emailed back saying I would hear back in seven to 10 days,” he said. “Three days later they emailed back and said once they began reading the book they could not put it down.” “A World of Storms” was released March 27 and is available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million and at www. outskirtspress.com/aworldofstorms.

The Mt. Vernon Theatre will host a night of gospel singing May 11 that will include Tallassee native Mark Lanier. Lanier was born in the Tallassee Hospital in 1957. Lanier’s mother was a graduate of Tallassee High School and his grandparents, Herman and Lillian Ledbetter, each worked in the Mt Vernon Cotton Mill for more than 20 years. When they weren’t at the mill, they ran a grocery store in East Tallassee. Lanier began singing when he was 4 at area churches for revivals and homecomings. Lanier’s dad, Gene, led the music
and his mom, Mae Ellen, played the piano at Central Baptist Church, where the family attended. Lanier’s brothers Jeff and Kevin, who also sing, were in the choir at church, which lead to their love of gospel music. Mark Lanier moved to Nashville in 1979 and was a cast member of “Country Music USA” at Opryland USA. When he returned home he put together a band that appeared on “You Can Be A Star” on the Nashville Network. Lanier played piano with The Bibletones from Gulfport, Mississippi, of which Lanier’s brother Jeff was a member. Lanier said in 1997 he heard a call from God to
set out on a solo career and he’s never looked back. Artists such as Jake Hess, James Blackwood, The Kingsmen, The Nelons, The Florida Boys, Mark Trammel Quartet, Down East Boys, Poet Voices and many others have recorded Lanier’s songs. Others scheduled to appear in the Tallassee program include Bob Sellers from Gordo, Wilburn and Wilburn of Gadsden and Holy Destiny from Clanton, which includes Jeff Lanier on bass.

Appeal “If the wall is 40 feet tall, a projectile can go 120 feet,” he said. Hammock is concerned about patrons who visit businesses downtown, including a dance studio where local children attend dance classes. “I have been out there before and seen all the children across the street dancing and they come over to the park sometimes,” Hammock said. “There are people at Tiger Paw down there, people shopping at Sistrunk and at the antique place.” Councilmember Darryl Wilson, who represents the district where the Hotel Talisi is located, said at a March council meeting the hotel is disintegrating faster than expected. “It’s getting worse,” he
said. “There was only one window that had fallen in. Within a week and a half, another one has fallen in.” Most of the city council agreed citizen safety should take priority. “Historic or not,” councilmember Jeremy Taunton said, “it needs to be fixed or it needs to be torn down. There has been ample opportunity to do it. They had 72 hours to fix the flashing issue and they didn’t do it. It’s obvious they don’t care. It is an unsafe structure and we need to do our due diligence and go ahead and condemn it. It shouldn’t matter if it’s historic.” But councilmember David Stough said the historic value of the hotel makes it worth saving. “This is a building that people have traveled from
Auburn, Montgomery, all parts of this state and out of state to visit,” he said. “I would hate to see this council go ahead and declare that building a public nuisance and maybe have it torn down.” The unique history of the Hotel Talisi, paired with a widely popular buffet, once drew a tremendous number of people to the area but that changed in October 2009 when fire engulfed the interior. Troupe tried to bring the facility up to code afterward but a required second elevator for banquet hall/event space on the third floor drove up the cost. Troupe abandoned his plans to reopen the hotel and listed the property for $400,000. In the meantime, city officials said

Alabama Constitution which went into effect in 2006. It makes residents pay a total of 10 mils toward education so school systems can receive funds from the Alabama Education Trust Fund. It is something the City of Tallassee approved years ago and why voters in Tallassee will see three items on their ballots and Elmore County residents will see four items. Dennis hopes Elmore County voters will do the same thing plus renew the ad valorem taxes already in place. “All we are trying to do is renew the first three, then replace 778 with 382,” Dennis said. “The reason we have 382 on our ballot and Tallassee doesn’t is because they already have it. They put it into place prior to 778 kicking in. If 382 passes, 778 goes away. It does not expire but is a state-mandated amendment that fills the gap. If none of these were to pass, 10 mils would still be mandated for public education in 2022.” Amendment 778 is how Elmore County residents are currently paying 10 mils of ad valorem instead of the voter-approved 7 mils. Tallassee passed Amendment 382 before 778 took effect and isn’t up for renewal for 20 years. According to the Alabama Department of Education, in fiscal year 2018 Elmore County Schools gave up its 10 mils of ad valorem tax totaling just shy of $9.5 million in matching funds and received more than $66 million from the Alabama Education Trust Fund. Tallassee Schools received $678,000 in ad valorem taxes through its 10 mils for education and gave it up in matching funds to the Alabama Education Trust Fund to receive more than $10.9 million in 2018. The federal government is another source of funds for Elmore County schools.

If you haven’t been to our store, please just stop by between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Thursday through Saturday to check it out and talk to the folks about volunteering. While you are there, please also thank our volunteers for their endless hard work operating our thrift store, as all proceeds go to our shelter to ensure we can be there for all the pets that come to us needing our help.

Modern lessons from ancient examples A
fter we were brought safely through, we then learned that the island was called Malta. The native people showed us unusual kindness, for they kindled a fire and welcomed us all, because it had begun to rain and was cold. - Acts 28:1-2 It turned out just like Paul told his shipmates it would. The ship on which they were sailing was lost, and Paul and the 275 other people aboard were saved. The angel who had spoken to Paul also told him they would land on an island, and that came true, too. In the closing chapter of Acts, Luke recorded several striking events that took place while he, Paul and the others were stranded on Malta. The natives (literally barbarians) showed the rescued people “unusual kindness” (verse 2). The Romans called any non-Roman a barbarian.
But these islanders of Phoenician descent were not tribal savages. They were skilled mariners whose ancestors had learned how to navigate by the stars centuries earlier. Their treatment of Paul and their other guests was not barbaric at all. They were hospitable and kind to strangers—crossing racial lines to show kindness. That type of kindness is unusual in today’s selfish, fast-paced world, especially toward people who are “not like us.” Who’s the barbarian? Do I show anyone unusual kindness? The Maltans probably didn’t know about the God of the Bible, but they had a strong sense of justice. When the snake came out of the fire and bit Paul on the hand, they reasoned that he was a murderer, who escaped the sea, but Justice caught up with him and was not going to allow him to live

Columnist (verse 4). They were wrong about Paul, but they had a strong sense of right and wrong and justice, without the guidance of the Bible. We have the Bible. There is absolutely no excuse for us to be morally adrift with no sense of what is right or wrong. When Paul didn’t swell up and die, the people of the island updated their opinion and decided Paul was a god instead of a murderer (verse 6). Their sudden, drastic difference of opinion was a reverse of what happened at Lystra many years earlier. There
the people thought Paul was the god Hermes one day, and then stoned him, leaving him for dead the next (Acts 14). Human opinion can be quite fickle. We ought to remember that when we are tempted to do things to appeal to current popular opinion. The Maltans were judging Paul by appearance and they were consistently wrong. Jesus contrasted judging righteously to judging by appearance (see John 7:24). Finally, Paul set a beautiful example for everyone who finds himself in a less than perfect situation. In the cold rain, Paul gathered a bundle of sticks, and put them on the fire. It would have required less effort to sit and complain about the uncomfortable conditions, or perhaps critique the hospitality effort of the Maltans. Instead, Paul made a contribution
to the effort. He didn’t think he was above doing something to help himself and his companions. We need more people in the church who are as willing to help solve problems as they are to identify them. These lines from the end of Acts remind us that people haven’t really changed much in the past two thousand years. These examples challenge me to live a nobler life—to show unusual kindness, to live with a strong guiding sense of right and wrong, to be careful about judging, and to contribute to solutions instead of complaining about problems. How about you? Would you join me in making conscious effort to grow in these ways? We’ll need God’s enabling grace to grow like that. But just imagine how those changes would enrich our lives and bless others!

Jesus’ last words an act of radical trust, surrender to God Tallassee Churches By CLINT MCBROOM Faith Columnist
People very often consider someone’s last words before they die to have special significance. Of the four evangelists, Luke alone tells us what Jesus’ last words were: Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last. (Luke 23:46) Jesus was quoting scripture, just as he had with so many of his other statements from the cross. Here he was quoting Psalm 31:5, “Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.” But Jesus begins the quote by adding “Father.” He uses the Aramaic word Abba that captures the intimacy of his relationship with God. As Jesus is about to die, he quotes this Psalm to his Heavenly Father as an act of radical trust in and surrender to God. It was a surrender that required complete trust and faith.
The New Testament tells us something that should amaze us. Through Jesus and in Jesus, we can approach God in the same way. Paul writes in the fourth chapter of Galatians, “God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba, Father.’ So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.” Everyone is made by God. But we’re not naturally children of God. But through this adoption that Paul writes about, through Jesus, those who trust in Christ and belong to Christ are adopted. And because we are brothers and sisters of God the son, we can now dare refer to God as “Father.” What that means for us is that we can have that same radical trust in God as our Father that Jesus had in his final moments on the cross. Jesus, as he was facing the dark uncertainty of death, knew that beyond that veil of death, his Heavenly Father was there waiting for him. While we’ll never face crucifixion on a Roman cross, we all seasons and moments

that are frightening because we can’t see what is in the future. When the future is uncertain it is always frightening. But Christ-followers can abandon themselves into the care of their Heavenly Father in the same way that Jesus did on the cross. So when you are moving toward a season of life and you cannot see what that season holds, you can know that whatever else you might find there, your Heavenly Father is waiting there for you with grace and love. You can say as you move into that uncertainty, “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.” Jesus calls us to live with that kind of trust in God. And we know that when Jesus calls us to that kind of trust, that we can believe him, because he faced the most terrifying future of all, death, and came out the other side victorious over it. So we know that we can live into uncertain futures anchored not in our own strength and resources but in the power and goodness of God. And being anchored in God gives us peace.

DOMINATING VICTORY
Saban’s right: Don’t declare for the draft too soon
M
ore and more players are declaring for the NFL Draft sooner and sooner. It’s always been typical for an exceptional player to go ahead and declare for the draft for various reasons, but usually because it’s an attempt to avoid any injury and for the player to get his best chance at the draft while he’s at his peak. But nowadays, student-athletes are starting to declare for the draft seemingly if they even have a shot at going in one of the later rounds. It’s too soon for most of these players. Last week after Alabama’s spring game, Tide coach Nick Saban made some comments about just this topic. Alabama had seven underclassmen declare for the NFL Draft this season, and that’s the most since Saban has been with the Crimson Tide. “The person that loses in that is the player,” Saban said. Saban talked a lot about the money a player loses out on if he goes in a later round instead of waiting another year and potentially being selected higher. Saban’s right there. Look at Ronnie Harrison who went in the third round last year and, with safety needs around the league now, could’ve gone a lot higher. Saban also watched Bo Scarbrough declare as an underclassmen last season and be selected in the seventh round. But more importantly, Saban talked about life after football as a reason players should wait to go onto the next level. “I tell every recruit that I talk to the reason that you’re going to college is to prepare yourself for the day you can’t play football,” Saban said. At the end of the day, of course the ultimate goal is the NFL. Kids at the youngest level of football are thinking about potentially playing in the big leagues. The student-athletes I cover at the high school level have high aspirations, and if you’re going to a school like Alabama to play football, you’re certainly on the right path to have those dreams come true. But that being said, the vast majority of people who play football aren’t ever going to step foot on the NFL gridiron. Even if you’re playing for a team like Alabama and winning national championships every other year, there’s still a pretty good chance you aren’t going to go further than that. And if you are a person who has the potential to play in the NFL, you should soak up all the opportunities you can to go as high as possible in the draft when that day comes. Because Saban’s right — there’s a big difference between third-round money and first-round money. Being honest, even guys going in the seventh round are bound to make more money than I can ever imagine, so that’s not really what I’m stuck on. My bigger reason for thinking people should stay in college as long as possible is for their education. Because no one can predict the future. Sure, you could get drafted No. 1 overall but during your first start, you can have a career-ending injury. Then what? Or even if you have a full career playing football and make a boatload of cash, it’s still not a lifelong career. Adam Vinatieri is ancient at 46 years old — the oldest active player in the NFL. He’s bound to retire well before the age of us common folk. Then what? Sure, he’s got more money than he could possibly spend in a lifetime, but what’s going to keep him entertained? How will his life be fulfilled? That’s the question all studentathletes should ask because playing football — or any sport for that matter — will not be forever.

Tallassee’s Avary Lumpkin (00) slides into home plate ahead of a tag from Benjamin Russell catcher Haylee Hunter on Monday afternoon.
Tigers take advantage of Wildcats’ mental miscues By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
It seemed like Benjamin Russell’s softball team came into Monday night’s game already knowing what was going to happen. Tallassee had already beaten the Wildcats twice this season, both times via shutout and once in a run-rule shortened game. BRHS seemed to take that to heart and looked like it was already defeated when it took the field, and that resulted in a 14-4 defeat at the hands of the Tigers. “We came in beat,” Benjamin Russell
coach Jessica Johnson said. “They didn’t try; they didn’t care. There was no heart. There was no fight. That’s what I’m mad about. I’m not mad about getting beat. I mean, I don’t like losing; I hate it. But to just come out and take it and be OK with it, I don’t like that.” Tallassee got off to an exceptional start, gaining seven runs in just two innings. The Tigers got three RBIs from Avary Lumpkin in the opening two innings alone. Although Tallassee hit the ball extremely well, finishing with 16 total hits, Benjamin Russell didn’t help itself
as it committed error after error and also allowed Tallassee to take advantage of countless passed balls and wild pitches. “When we were away in Dothan (at a tournament this weekend), coaches and umpires asked me how the season was going, and I’m like, ‘It’s a roller coaster,’” Johnson said. “When we’re hot, we’re hot but when we’re not, it’s bad. This game more so than just being flat though, it was like it was in their head that they knew they were going to get beat, so why try?” Tallassee was unstoppable at the See SOFTBALL • Page B6

Tallassee takes 2nd in Opelika STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Playoff hopes dashed by Brew Tech By KAMARRI DARRINGTON For The Tribune
The Tallassee baseball team found itself in a must-win situation in the home finale against Brewbaker Tech on Friday following a 21-8 win in Montgomery on Thursday. A season-long issue hurt the Tigers at the worst possible time. Tallassee allowed six runs in the third inning of a 10-7 loss to Brew Tech. The loss, coupled with Valley’s 5-1 win over Beauregard, eliminated the Tigers from postseason play for the second straight year after finishing the season with what will be a losing record. “It’s been a tough season,” Tallassee coach Adam Clayton said. “We’ve dealt with a lot of injuries. We lost a couple of guys that focused on football after signing. These kids worked hard. They battled well (Friday). I’m proud of how they played through it all season.” Tallassee (9-16, 3-3 Class 5A Area 4) scored the game’s first three runs Friday but committed five errors. Jackson Gantt led off the Tallassee first inning with a single then Bobby Baker reached on an error. William Blocker hit an RBI singles, scoring Gantt for a 1-0 lead. After Baker came home on a stolen base attempt by Blocker, Jacob Dantro hit another
RBI single for the 3-0 lead. Brewbaker Tech (10-12, 2-4) sent 11 batters to the plate in the third inning which saw the Tigers commit two of their five errors. Damian Wilkerson was hit by a pitch to lead off the Rams then Collin Lawlor walked. Jayden Sloan reached on an error, scoring Wilkerson to make it a 3-2 game. A flyout by Dalton George scored Lawlor then Melvin Gatson hit an RBI single to tie the game at 3-3. Brandon Lewis followed with an RBI double, Cody Willis hit an RBI single and Rams starting pitcher Deuntre Dunklin ended the rally with a two-out, two-run single, scoring Lewis and Willis. When Tallassee came up in the third, it was trailing 7-3. “That’s something that has haunted us all year long — the big inning,” Clayton said. “We finally started chipping away, but it was too late to get back in it. Give Brewbaker Tech credit. We scored 21 runs on them (Thursday), and they came out and played well (Friday).” Tallassee didn’t score again until the fifth inning on a fielder’s choice by Bruin Hathcock, and it added one in the sixth on a groundout by Blake Schwab.

The Tallassee softball team won its first four games at the Opelika Invitational over the weekend but the Tigers were upended by Vestavia Hills in the championship game. Despite already defeating the Rebels earlier in the tournament, Tallassee could not recover from allowing five runs in the third inning and lost 6-2 in the final round. Despite the loss, Tallassee improved to 32-5 on the season. The Tigers knocked off Vestavia 4-2 in the quarterfinals and got run-rule victories against Opelika, Beulah and Valley on their way to the championship matchup. Chloe Baynes led the offense with 10 hits and reached base 12 times in 15 plate appearances during the tournament. Baynes scored 11 runs and stole five bases for the Tigers. Lexi Love had a tournament-high 11 RBIs and hit her fourth home run of the season. Avary Lumpkin had five doubles and a homer in 14 at bats while knocking in 10 runs and scoring five times. Jordan Walters allowed six earned runs across 16 innings in the circle. See TIGERS • Page B2

Elmore County Player of the Week
Neci King stepping up at crucial time for Mustangs By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
You hear the same thing from every coach across all sports. Everyone wants to be playing their best at the end of the regular season to prepare for the playoffs. Stanhope Elmore’s Neci King is starting to hit her stride and it showed in the circle and at the plate during the Mustangs’ six games last week. She finished second on the team in hits and runs while grabbing two wins as the team’s ace pitcher. King is the Elmore County Player of the Week. “Neci is a game changer for sure,” Stanhope coach Virginia Barber said. “She’s pitching phe-
nomenal and we’ve asked her to really step up now. She’s starting to do that for the team and it’s helping us.” Stanhope’s week got started with a rivalry game at Wetumpka on Tuesday and King was given the ball to help keep the Mustangs in the race for the regular season area title. Before entering the circle in the first inning, King made her first impact of the game with her speed on the base paths. After leading off with a single, King raced to third base on an outfield error before scoring the game’s first run on a sacrifice fly. King singled again in the third See KING • Page B6

Stanhope Elmore’s Neci King allowed only four earned runs across 17-plus innings in the circle last week.

Brewbaker Tech shortstop Jayden Sloan (5) turns a double play against Tallassee on Friday.
The fatal blow for Tallassee may have come in the top of the seventh inning as Rams relief pitcher Eddie Simmons cracked a 1-0 pitch over the left field wall near the scoreboard for a 9-5 Brew Tech lead. Sloan later doubled then scored on a single by Gatson. Tallassee scored twice in the seventh before Sloan recorded the game’s final three outs, signaling the end of the playoff hopes for the Tigers. Dunklin started on the mound for Brewbaker Tech, lasting 5 1/3 innings and allowing five runs off seven hits. Gatson had three hits on the day. George reached base four times. Gantt started on the mound for Tallassee, going 2 1/3 innings and allowing six runs off three hits while going 2-for-2 with two walks at the plate. Jacob Dantro drove in two runs.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Generally, you feel passionate about situations and people. A new person who might walk into your life at any time could intrigue you and become a good friend. Give this person the space to reveal him- or herself. Note an element of confusion in present communications. Tonight: Let others express their needs and desires. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be more forthright and direct in how you make choices. There could be a lot of questions surrounding a seemingly routine matter. You might be sensing some confusion about this situation. Understand your choices. Allow ingenuity to Ă&#x2026;ow. Tonight: Midweek break. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You Ă&#x201E;nally Ă&#x2026;ow more with the moment and with those around you. Your imagination soars, especially if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re around a child or loved one. Take some of this gift into your outside life. Others will appreciate your ingenuity and lightness. Tonight: Only where you can have fun. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Be sure that you can take on another responsibility. Rather than saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? quickly, take your time. You might not want to commit just yet. Time remains your ally. You could want a change or to add more variety in your life. Tonight: Entertain from your pad. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A bevy of calls and people greet you this morning. If you have plans, you might screen some of this activity and let others know that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make time later. A call from a distant person or an expert holds important information. Tonight: Favorite person, favorite spot. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Tension builds, especially around funds. You might wish that you could stretch them further. Examine your budget with care; see whether you possibly can Ă&#x201E;t in a coveted purchase. Roll with it. Extremes mark the moment for now. Before you leap, give yourself space
to think. Tonight: Keep your Ă&#x201E;nances in mind. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might want to let others know where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from. As a result, you gain more support than you thought was available. First, decide what you want, be it a situation, relationship or business deal. Tonight: Living it up! SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) When the situation is appropriate, take a back seat. Your ability to maneuver a personal matter could be more important than youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aware it is. Nevertheless, honor your inner voice Ă&#x201E;rst right now. Tonight: Opt for a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re focused and know what you want and expect from certain situations. You could feel as though someone might not be in tune with you. Slow down; approach this person openly and with kindness. Eventually, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll develop an easier Ă&#x2026;ow between the two of you. Tonight: Where your friends are. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be focused on completing a job or project. Nothing will delay you from getting that far and achieving the results you desire. For you, more than most signs, the Ă&#x201E;nal product is what counts. Tonight: As you like. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your ability to empathize and walk in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps comes out. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to Ă&#x201E;nd a more eÉ&#x2C6;ective way of communicating to this person. Ask questions, but be ready for an odd answer. Tonight: Follow the music. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) One-on-one relating will draw the results you desire. You might not be sure what to expect. You can be sure that the person in question will reveal more of his or her authentic self. Even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with others, remain easygoing. Tonight: Make it special.

plate, as Lumpkin, Chloe Baynes and Ella Thrash all accounted for three hits. Jordan Walters and Anslee Osborne added two apiece, as the Tigers hit up and down the lineup. “That’s very important for us,” Tallassee coach Pat Love said. “Our strength is our hitting so as long as we keep hitting, we’re fine.” The Tigers also used their baserunning to their advantage. Baynes stole three bases, while Lexi Love, Belle Haynes and Thrash each swiped one. After a loss in the Opelika Tournament Championship on Saturday, Love said it was important for the Tigers to right the ship as they look to clinch the area regular-season title Tuesday night. “It was good because we played good this past weekend but we got beat in the final by Vestavia Hills and we didn’t play very well (against them),” Love said. “So it was good to come back tonight and play very well to get back on a good track.” Love also got to substitute in all of his players and got to utilize both of his pitchers. Benjamin Russell did hit fairly well against both Walters and Sinclair Cole, but the Wildcats couldn’t string enough together to make a difference. Taylor Harris and Haylee Hunter led BRHS with two hits apiece. Benjamin Russell did try a different strategy Monday night, as both Harris and Asia McWaters saw time in the circle. Harris threw the first three innings then McWaters took over for the final, and Johnson said that was the plan going into the game; it wasn’t just because of how the game unfolded. “We came in with the plan of changing pitchers just because we haven’t don that throughout the year,” Johnson said. “If we go into the postseason and we have to change them, it changes our entire defense so people have to move around. They need to be used to doing that in the middle of the game, so we had committed to doing that for the next few games just so everyone is on the same page.”

Stanhope Elmore coach Wes Dunsieth talks to his team between innings during Friday’s game at Wetumpka. Both the Mustangs and the Indians begin the playoffs this week.
County teams prep for playoffs By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
The area championships have been decided and the brackets are set as the first round of the state baseball playoffs are ready to get underway this weekend. While Wetumpka will be the only team from the county to host a series in the first round, Holtville and Stanhope Elmore also got into the postseason and will begin their quests for a state title on the road this weekend. Wetumpka finished with a perfect 4-0 record in area play and will host Benjamin Russell in its opening series. The two teams agreed to move the first two games up to Thursday with the if-necessary Game 3 to be played Friday.
“It’s definitely not going to be easy but we know that every time we go out,” Wetumpka coach Michael Dismukes said. “Ben Russell is really good and they’re getting better. It’s going to be a great series and we’re looking forward to it.” Benjamin Russell enters the postseason with a 21-10 record and winners in six of its last eight games. The Wildcats are led on offense by Brett Pitts, who has four homers and 22 RBIs this season while batting .427 at the plate. Wetumpka will have to deal with the pitching depth of Benjamin Russell, a team which boasts five pitchers with a sub-three ERA with at least 22 innings pitched this season. The Indians hope to use some of the momentum from
winning the area title at the plate against the Wildcat pitchers. “They just took the first step on the ladder but our season isn’t over,” Dismukes said. “We have to keep getting better and get ready for next week. We want to keep building and see how far we can make a run at this thing.” Wetumpka will host a postseason game for the first time since 2008 and is looking to make a run deep into the month of May. The program does have a state championship in its past but the team has not been past the second round since 1992. “Our end goal is a state championship but we have to take it step by step, game by game, pitch by pitch,” Wetumpka outfielder See PLAYOFFS • Page B7

continued from Page B2 Barber said. “We needed her speed and her leadership. She’s stepped up since we put her there. It helps our pitchers when they have a lead to work with so that way she can go out and help herself.” After needing to get out of a jam in the first inning, King allowed only two baserunners over the next four innings and Stanhope extended its lead to 3-0, which was all it needed with King in the circle. “I think she was throwing a bit of a riseball early that we couldn’t catch up
with,” Wetumpka coach Jimmy Reeves said. “We had early opportunities to score but we couldn’t get it done. We let her settle in and she pitched a good game.” Stanhope blew the game open in the top of the seventh. King added her third hit of the game, knocking in a run on a line drive to center field before coming around to score on a single to put Stanhope ahead 8-0 going to the bottom of the seventh. After retiring Wetumpka in order in the
final inning, King finished with five strikeouts while allowing just three hits in her seventh complete game of the season. She also had her first 3-hit game of the season at the plate, scoring twice and knocking in two runs. King followed her performance with a two-hit game against Marbury during the team’s tournament over the weekend. She finished the week with seven hits in 18 plate appearances, raising her batting average to above .300 for the first time this season.

Ivey awards grants to weatherize homes for summer STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Gov. Kay Ivey has awarded grants totaling $1.9 million to assist low-income and elderly Alabama residents with weatherizing their homes for lower energy costs. Locally, $208,875 of these funds will be distributed through the Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission for Autauga, Chilton, Dallas, Elmore, Lee, Macon, Perry, Russell and Shelby counties. Another $40,345 will be distributed through the Community Action Committee Inc. of ChambersTallapoosa-Coosa for Chambers, Coosa and Tallapoosa counties. The grants support Alabama’s Weatherization Assistance Program which provides funds to improve the energy efficiency and safety of qualifying homes. Priority is given to people with disabilities, the elderly and low-income households with children. “Elderly and disabled Alabama residents who are living on limited incomes can struggle to pay higher utility bills in the warmer months,” Ivey said. “These grants will go toward lowering the energy bills for many of them by making upgrades to keep their houses cool during the summer months.” An energy audit is conducted of each home that qualifies for weatherization assistance to determine the most cost-efficient measures. Common improvements include installing extra insulation in the attic, walls and floor; sealing air leaks around doors and windows; repairs or tuneups for air conditioning and heating units; and replacing incandescent light bulbs with high-efficiency bulbs. In addition to lowering energy bills, the improvements can reduce the risk of fire and other hazards. The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs is administering the grants from funds made available by the U.S. Department of Energy. For more information, residents in Elmore County can call the Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission at 334262-4300.

Trey Jones said. “We have some work to do but we’re going to keep improving every day.” While Wetumpka gets to host its first-round matchup, Stanhope (9-22) will go away from home to open its postseason. The Mustangs’ road does not start with an easy task with Russell County, the top-ranked team in Class 6A, waiting. “As far as getting ready for Friday, we have to take a look at what Russell County does well,” Stanhope coach Wes Dunsieth said. “And then we have to work on our deficiencies, which right now is offense.
We’re going to get in the cage and work on our fundamentals of hitting.” Russell County (31-3) enters the postseason on an eight-game winning streak and has lost only two games against teams from Alabama this season. Logan Austin, an Auburn commit, leads a strong pitching staff which has a combined ERA of 1.48 this season across 189 innings. Stanhope snapped an eight-game losing streak Monday night with a win against Saint James. However, the Mustangs still have plenty of worries but will attempt to avoid a first-round sweep

for the third consecutive season. “We took about a week off after that five-game winning streak and that didn’t help,” Dunsieth said. “Then we went to Hoover and played against teams we weren’t matched up well against. We’ve taken a step back since spring break.” Holtville lost its chance at the Class 4A Area 5 title after losing the final two games of the series at Handley last week.
However, the Bulldogs (18-7) still held the tiebreaker over Elmore County and are in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season. “You have to forget about what you’ve done and focus on how you’re going to respond,” Holtville coach Torey Baird said. “We’re to do what we need to fix what we did wrong at Handley and we hope that will give us a chance this weekend.”

SBA closes center but apps still available online By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer
The U.S. Small Business Administration disaster loan outreach center closed its doors Friday due to a steady decrease of activity. However, those who were affected by the March 3 tornadoes can still apply for the assistance online or by phone. The center opened April 1 to serve businesses affected by the tornadoes that hit Lee County March 3. The outreach center will serve residents of Lee County and small businesses and nonprofit organizations in neighboring counties, including Tallapoosa County. “When there is a disaster, it usually doesn’t stop at a state or a county line and a lot of times businesses and nonprofit organizations can be impacted by that disaster, so the Small Business Administration comes in and offer these low-interest loans in adjacent counties for nonprofits and small businesses,” SBA spokesperson Cheryl Kitts said. The SBA’s 504 Loan or Certified Development Company program is designed to provide financing for the purchase of fixed assets, which usually means real estate, buildings and machinery, at below market rates. “The small business loans go directly to the federal government,” Kitts said. “The loans for businesses are as low as 4 percent and for nonprofit organizations 2.75 percent with terms up to 30 years.” Kitts said applicants must have been affected by the recent Lee County tornado. “They don’t have to have physical damages but they have to impacts from the storm,” she said. “For example, they were closed for a number of days because of the storm and they’re finding it challenging to make payroll and their other fixed costs needs, and they were directly impacted by this.” Applicants may apply online using the Electronic Loan Application (ELA) via SBA’s secure website at Disasterloan.sba.gov. To be considered for all forms of disaster assistance, applicants should register online at DisasterAssistance.gov or download the FEMA mobile app. If online or mobile access is unavailable, applicants should call the FEMA toll-free helpline at 800-621-3362. Those who use 711 Relay or Video Relay Services should call 800-621-3362. Applications and program information are available by calling the SBA’s Customer Service Center at 1-800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339 for the deaf and hard of hearing) or by emailing disastercustomerservice@sba.gov. Loan applications can also be downloaded at www.sba.gov. Completed applications should be returned to a center or mailed to U.S. Small Business Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport Rd., Fort Worth, Texas, 76155. The filing deadline to submit applications for physical property damage is May 6. The deadline for economic injury applications is Dec. 5.

Tallassee man charged with child sex abuse By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Charles David Davis, 32, of Tallassee waived formal arraignment through his attorney on April 9 after being arrested on child sex abuse charges in March. Davis was indicted in February on charges of sexual abuse of a 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 May 9. Davis is being held in the Tallapoosa County Jail on $80,000 bond. Alabama Code defines sexual abuse of a child less than 12 as the offender being 16 or older and subjecting a person who is less than 12 years old to sexual contact. It is a Class B felony. Someone convicted of sexual abuse of a
child less than 12 is subject to two to 20 years in prison. Alabama Code defines first-degree sodomy as a person who engages in deviant sexual intercourse with a person by forcible compulsion, engages in deviant sexual intercourse with a person who is incapable of consent by reason of being physically helpless or mentally incapacitated or the offender is 16 years old or older and engages in deviate sexual intercourse with a person who is less than 12. Sodomy is a Class A felony. Someone convicted of sodomy is subject to 10 years to 99 years in prison.
