Quick arrest made in Dadeville robbery “We had a suspect in custody three minutes later.” Martin said it took the efforts of several officers to make it happen. “(Officer Ronnie Brown) was first on the scene and was able to get a good description of the suspect and direction of travel,” Martin said. “I was there quickly as well and saw someone walking away down Herren Street.

Just three minutes is all it took for the Dadeville Police Department to apprehend a suspect in an armed robbery, Tuseday afternoon. “We got a call of an armed robbery in progress at 1:42 p.m.,” Dadeville assistant police chief Chris Martin said.
He was trying to walk as not to bring attention to himself but he matched the description. He tried to flee when he saw the lights but didn’t get far.” Martin said the suspect, Lameico Darrien Black, 19, of Alexander City had dropped a handgun and a replica gun nearby that officers recovered. Martin said officer Colton Ankers also responded quickly to help provide
backup during the apprehension of Black. Martin said Black used one of the weapons police recovered in the robbery that stemmed from a negotiated online sale of items. “Once we got to the bottom of it, Black and the victim met in a parking lot for the transaction,” Martin said. See ARREST • Page A2

No homicides reported in Dadeville last year
By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer
By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer
Recently released statistics show there were no reported homicides in the city of Dadeville last year. According to Dadeville police chief David Barbour, all crime rates were lower from 2017. The Dadeville Police Department’s crime report for 2018 was made through Uniform Crime Report from the state, according to Barbour. He said he did not have 2017 statistics to directly compare the numbers. There were 54 reported aggravated assaults, 97 assaults and 23 burglaries in 2018, according to the report. The report states five of the assaults and three of the burglaries were unfounded — meaning there wasn’t enough evidence to pursue a change. There were 104 drug crimes reported last year, according to the report. Barbour said most of the drug cases get passed along to the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force, which has a few Dadeville officers. There were 22 fraud cases reported last year, according to the report. “That could be anywhere from forged checks, passed forged checks or counterfeit money and that falls under that same criteria, such as criminal possession of a forged instrument first degree,” Barbour said. There are two cleared cases for kidnapping, which Barbour said did not occur last year. Barbour said that statistic is incorrect and he needs the database where the police department got the report to be straightened out. “I don’t know how they came up with kidnapping because I know we didn’t have any kidnappings,” Barbour said. There are 210 cases for other crimes, which Barbour said are calls for anything from disorderly conduct, See CRIME • Page A2

‘Labor of love’ Dadeville opens bicentennial exhibit By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer
A
ribbon cutting for the Alabama Bicentennial traveling display was held at the Dadeville Community Center on Tuesday morning. County and city leaders, including members of the Tallapoosa County Tourism Board and Dadeville Chamber of Commerce attended the event. U.S. District 3 Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) cut the ribbon. “I’m enormously proud to be from Alabama and our history is so rich and I want more people to know about it,” Rogers said. “The fact that you take this around the state is wonderful.” Tallapoosa Bicentennial Committee member Kurt Pfitzer said the committee worked every day for two or three months on the display. Pfitzer said the committee is working with local nonprofits and schools. “These kiosks that you see right here came in the back of an 18-wheel truck with See BICENTENNIAL • Page A3

The Dadeville City Council unanimously approved hiring Avenu Insights & Analytics for business license discovery and recovery at Tuesday night’s meeting. Avenu Insights & Analytics business development executive Yolanda Watkins told the council about the company had worked with the city years ago before its contract expired. Watkins said the company discovered $135,000 in additional business licenses for a total of 158 new business licenses on the city’s behalf. “I would like for the council to think about starting the service again,” Watkins said. “It’s an added benefit because if we don’t find anything, it doesn’t cost you anything, but if we find something we split the revenue 50/50 and going forward all that revenue belongs to you all.” Watkins said Avenu does all the work for the license discovery and recovery and starting from 2018, will go back three years in Dadeville’s business license list. “We’ll get your paid business license list and we purchase a lot of data that you all won’t need but get access to and we use that as a cross reference,” Watkins said. Councilmember Dick Harrelson made a motion to approve the request and councilmember Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson seconded it. The council then approved the request.

Obituaries James Joseph Minor May 29, 1928 – April 19, 2019 James Joseph Minor, passed away peacefully at Bethany House in Auburn, Alabama on April 19, 2019. James was born in Cordova, Alabama to Jesse Jahue and Audrey Kathryn Minor. During his early years, James lived in Cordova and Winfield. He attended elementary and part of high school in Russellville but graduated from Tallapoosa County High School in Dadeville in 1947. James joined the Navy in 1948 where he served as an Airman and Electronics Technician until his honorable discharge in 1952. After his discharge from the Navy, James worked in Fayette, Alabama at Alabama Mills, Inc. One fateful weekend night, at the local square dance, he met the love of his life, Rutha Johnston. James and Rutha were married in Fayette on August 2, 1957. James and Rutha moved to Montgomery in 1958 where he took a job with Alabama School Supply Co. He was employed there until 1962 when he took a job with the State of Alabama in the Revenue Department. In 1963, he transferred to the Alabama Department of Examiners of Public
Accounts where he worked until his retirement in 1990. Though she only lived 3 months, the Lord used the death of their daughter, Susie, to lead them to Eastern Hills Baptist Church in 1966 where each of them professed their faith in Christ and became long time, active members of the church. Rutha, James’ beloved wife of 37 years, lost her battle with cancer on April 9, 1994. James moved to Auburn, Alabama in 2004 where he attended Lakeview Baptist church and most recently, First Baptist Opelika where he was an active member of the Berry Dudley Sunday school class. In his retirement, James was involved in many hobbies including gardening, ham radio, computers, and investment clubs. In 2000, his Hilltop Investment Club, based out of Eastern Hills Baptist Church, was recognized as the top performing investment club in Alabama by Value Line. One of James’ favorite hobbies in recent years was tracing his “family tree”. He had successfully traced his lineage back 15 generations. James loved attending Auburn baseball and basketball games. He was also a faithful volunteer at Alabama Archive and History, Alabama Baptist Disaster Relief, East Alabama

noise complaints or nuisance properties. Barbour said he believes the crime rate is lower due to progressive policing and the department’s relationship with its citizens. “What they see, they report to us and that certainly puts a curtail on a lot of stuff,” Barbour said. “The task force has done an outstanding job of working this area as well, so that has curtailed some of it as well.” Barbour said the DPD has 13 officers and two rookies who are about to start the police academy at the end of the month. Barbour said the one of the department’s goals for this year is to further lower the crime rates. “Our goals are to maintain our full staff and get more interaction with the public, which we do a good job of doing that now, but I need to see it be better and us curtail crime in their neighborhoods,” Barbour said. Barbour said residents should be aware of their surroundings and scams occurring. “Be careful what you post on social media about (your) personal lives and all that because when I look at it, that means everybody is looking at it and that sort of leaves everybody (vulnerable to crime),” Barbour said.

Arrest continued from Page 1 “Black tried to leave after getting the money from the victim. The victim tried to stop him when (Black) pulled a handgun. That elevated it to firstdegree robbery.” Martin said Black was holding cash in his hands in the same denominations described by the victim to police. Martin said it is not often police can close a case in just three minutes. “It was good work by all,” Martin said. Martin warned the public about conducting online transactions and suggested meeting in a public place. “The victim tried to do this in a parking lot,” Martin said. “It is a public place, but maybe pick a place that has more people around and ideally also with cameras around.” According to court records Black has no criminal history. At press time, Black was being held in the Tallapoosa County Jail on a $25,000 bond.

should) be proud of.� The travelling display has eight decorated panels with kiosks that go through the timeline and history of the state. There are also standing displays on Alabama figures including Rosa Parks, Caroline Lee Hentz and William Lowndes Yancey. “When we look at the history of Alabama, 10,000 years ago this place was occupied by Indians and we’ve come a long way,� Pfitzer said. “When we think about where we’ve been and where we are and how far we’ve come, it’s only appropriate we make a big deal out of it.� Executive director of Alabama Humanities Foundation Armand DeKeyser said he has traveled around the state with the displays. DeKeyser said Dadeville is the 48th place he’s traveled with the display and he likes how the local committee displayed the exhibit. “This is so wonderful here in
Dadeville,� DeKeyser said. “The community has become so involved in what’s been done celebrating Alabama’s Bicentennial. The history in this community, the history of the state, they’re all so tied together and we’re very glad Dadeville’s been able to help us put this together.� The exhibit will be in Dadeville until May 2. There will be a community celebration Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. that will feature crafts, face painting, a blacksmith, soap making, pottery and more. “Anytime I talk to groups, particularly young people, I tell them, ‘Remember, you’re from Dadeville and there’s a difference. Make a difference and show them how proud we are of you,’� Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said. The Dadeville Community Center is located at 116 Kids Court and the display is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Residents should visit exhibit in Dadeville
I
t’s important to look back to see where you came from to understand where you’re going. A ribbon cutting was held Tuesday for the traveling Alabama Bicentennial exhibit at the Dadeville Community Center. U.S. District 3 Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL) cut the ribbon and various county and city leaders attended the event. The exhibit has eight panels and kiosks where visitors can scroll through timelines and read more on Alabama events. It’s exciting to have something like this in Dadeville and we encourage residents to visit this exhibit while it’s here. It shows various aspects of Alabama’s history that should not be forgotten, from the state’s involvement in secession to Huntsville participating in the space race. “I’m enormously proud to be from Alabama and our history is so rich and I want more people to know about it,” Rogers said. Additionally the Tallapoosa County Tourism Board and Dadeville Chamber of Commerce worked hard on getting the exhibit and setting it up. Tallapoosa Bicentennial Committee member Kurt Pfitzer said the committee worked on the project every day for about two or three months and the exhibit came in 15 boxes they had to put together. Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said previously he wanted the exhibit to come to Dadeville. Because history is worth celebrating there is going to be a community celebration Saturday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. featuring crafts, face painting, a blacksmith, soap making, pottery and more. “When we think about where we’ve been and where we are and how far we’ve come, it’s only appropriate we make a big deal out of it,” Pfitzer said. Pfitzer is right. We need to learn from the past but also appreciate how far we’ve come. To have the exhibit featured locally is a treat and privilege The exhibit runs through May 2 and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Dadeville Community Center is located at 116 Kids Court.

A tale of 2 disasters on Easter Sunday
O
n Easter Sunday, the country of Sri Lanka was rocked by a series of bomb blasts at Christian churches and tourist hotels. Yet that was only one of the two disasters that day. The other was a demonstration of perhaps the most incompetent regime in history for fighting terrorism. If we want to avoid making similar mistakes, we had better pay attention to the Sri Lankan regime’s colossal failures. Not long after a series of coordinated bomb blasts rocked the island in the Indian Ocean, we learned intelligence agencies had warned the Sri Lankan president (who is also the defense minister) April 4 terror attacks were about to hit the country’s churches. The president did absolutely nothing. He didn’t even tell his prime minister, whom he dislikes. That prime minister was in charge of the country’s security council and would have prepared a response. Even inspector Clouseau might have thought it prudent to at least warn the country’s churches an attack was coming. Perhaps Easter Sunday might have even been a likely date for the terror attacks. Fewer in history received so many clues and did so little to act on them. Sri Lanka has a history of incompetent antiterrorism.

Open-door policy of a different kind
E
veryone loves an open-door policy. But recently I saw a different take on the phrase. Sitting at a red light in traffic, a young couple walked across in front of my car. Holding hands, they stepped into the parking lot. It was then I saw a different open-door policy play out. Instead of each walking to their respective doors, he walked with the young woman around the front of the car and around her door. Reaching down, he opened the door wide and stepped aside for her to get in. And only when he was sure she was comfortably settled in did he close the door. He then walked back around the car and got in.å To some this 15 seconds of life might not seem particularly noteworthy. But I can assure you there are plenty of us out there who are seeing less and less of what we once considered common courtesy. This is not about gender but rather respect. My wife and I have a son and a daughter. And for our entire lives, we’ve encouraged them to treat each other with respect based on reverence instead
LEONARD WOOLSEY Columnist of perceived weakness or thinking less of the other. Chromosomes are never an excuse to treat another with anything other than the utmost respect or extending opportunities. The best thing about raising both a son and daughter was the opportunity to teach through example. And we believe teaching respect should begin at home — giving our children a frontrow seat to what we hoped they would one day carry forward. And in our house, even the simple act of passing the scalloped potatoes was to include a please and thank you. As kids, they plain wore out the words thank you and please. When particularly young we even ignored requests without the critical word. We hoped doing so would painlessly allow them to become adults who never found themselves having to remember to practice the basics tenants
of respectful manners in any given situation. I have always opened the door for my wife beginning on our first date. Not because she couldn’t do it herself or I felt like as the male it was my job to open a door for her but because I never wanted to miss an opportunity to show her how much I valued and respected her in my life. This is not about gender but me wanting her to know how lucky I feel she is letting me be a part of her universe. Being with her made me happy and a better person. Why wouldn’t I do everything I could to let her know? This young couple reminded me of the journey. Our kids are both now adults and I can say each understands the value of treating others with respect. And the lessons must have taken root as my daughter once stood next to the car door while on a date and told the former boyfriend, “This door isn’t going to open itself.” Leonard Woolsey is president and publisher of The Daily News in Galveston County, Texas.

EXTREME WEATHER: TORNADOES!
Springtime in the United States is the most-active time for tornadoes. A tornado is a column of air that rotates violently, stretching down from a thunderstorm to the ground. When hot air masses slide over the top of cold air masses, the atmosphere becomes unstable. The changes in the tempera¬ture, wind direction and speed cause a swirling of winds. When the conditions are right for a tornado, these swirls are pushed up farther into the atmosphere causing the swirling winds to go from horizontal to vertical. This vertical storm is a tornado. The winds they produce can spin at speeds up to 300 miles per hour, and they can travel as fast as 200 miles per hour. Their paths of destruction can go on for miles and miles. Waterspouts are tornadoes that have formed over a body of water. A tornado can begin as a transparent storm; the debris and dirt they pick up is what gives them their dark coloration. The area in the United States known as Tornado Alley sees most of these storms, although a tornado can occur anywhere and at any time of Using the numbers 1-6, complete the puzzle below. You the year if the right conditions are present. The states of the Great Plains, mainly Texas, are to have one of each number (1-6) in each vertical and Oklahoma, Kan¬sas, and Nebraska, are the main areas of Tornado Alley. Tornadoes do horizontal row, as well as only one of each of the numbers occur in other parts of the World, such as Canada and Europe, but are most common in the United States.

Later in the day a second gate was opened, according to dam superintendent Billy Bryan, and each gate can handle 3 million gallons of water per minute. The gates were opened because Lake Martin is near full pool at 491 feet and recent heavy rain triggered the procedure. As of Tuesday, the level had dropped to 490 feet, 4 inches.

‘Mental mistakes’ Errors cause Tigers’ season to end vs. Montgomery Academy By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
F
or the second day in a row, Dadeville’s offense stalled Saturday, and it came at the worst time for the Tiger baseball squad. Against Montgomery Academy in the first round of the Class 3A playoffs, Dadeville didn’t hit the ball well, managing only six hits in a decisive Game 3. But it was a pair of costly errors in the fourth inning turned out to be the nail in Dadeville’s coffin, as it fell to the Eagles, 3-0, bringing its season to a close. “Really mental mistakes is what it was,” Dadeville coach Curtis Martin said. “It was a big game with a lot of pressure, and I just hate it for these seniors because they’ve worked so hard. But we had those two errors, and that was really the difference in the game. Instead of it still being 0-0, it was 3-0.” Dadeville kept the Eagles off the board through the first three innings but couldn’t do the same in what ended up being the decisive fourth. Charlie Sipes led off Montgomery Academy with a single, and he was moved along by a sacrifice bunt. The Eagles then scored their first run as Thomas Speaks reached on an error, giving Sipes time See END • Page B2
Dadeville forces Game 3 after sloppy start to first round By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
An absolute demolishment wasn’t exactly what Dadeville’s baseball team had in mind Friday night. The Tigers, who have had their sights set on the ultimate trophy since the beginning of the season, came into Friday’s Class 3A first-round playoff series against Montgomery Academy expecting to win. But those high hopes may have turned into overconfidence as the Eagles blew the doors off Dadeville, 11-0, in Game 1. But the Tigers regrouped better than anyone could’ve expected. After playing one of their worst games of the season, they turned around and put together one of their most solid outings. The Tigers earned a 3-1 victory, forcing a decisive Game 3 at noon today. “The second game, our guys played with intensity and played with our backs against the wall,” Dadeville coach Curtis Martin said. “Tripp (McKinley) obviously pitched a great game, and Jake (Outlaw) came in and did what he usually does.” McKinley threw a three-hitter and went 6 1/3 innings in Game 2 before Outlaw entered and fanned

the final two batters to ensure the victory. Because Outlaw’s relief work was so short lived, he remains eligible for today’s game and will get the starting nod. “We are going to have to come out and play with the same intensity (Saturday)” Martin said. “Obviously we have a great pitching going up against them, and I’m very confident in him starting. Hopefully this will give us a little bit of momentum.” Dadeville struggled to hit the ball all day. In the opening game, things couldn’t have started off better for the Tigers. After Slade McCullers struck out the side in the top of the first, Outlaw led off the home half
of the inning with a single to left field. Then the Tigers went cold. They didn’t have a hit for the next four innings and managed only two more for the rest of contest. Things also fell apart on the defensive side, as Montgomery Academy racked up five runs on just three hits and an error in the top of the third. The Eagles used their baserunning to their advantage, scoring three runs throughout Game 1 on wild pitches. Although Dadeville won the nightcap, its hitting woes didn’t get much better. The Tigers had just five hits in the second game. “I don’t know if it was because they were lefties, but they did a See DADEVILLE • Page B2
ust over two years ago, I was packing my bags and saying goodbye to a place I learned to call home. I spent six years in Pennsylvania, a place I knew I didn’t want to live forever but a place I had come to love. I worked with an amazing set of colleagues around the state and thought it would be impossible to replace them. More impossible than that would be to find a better set of coaches and players who I would connect with and learn to work with. Fast forward two years, and I now have a new place I call home. I celebrated my two-year anniversary at The Record earlier this week, and with all the recent talk about the growth of and change to Alexander City, I’ve realized just how much I love this town. I want Alex City to prosper; I want changes to be made, not just for the sake of change but for the right reasons. I want to see this city thrive and the people in it to as well. But the reason Alex City is my home now isn’t just because I live here or because I’m a taxpayer or because I’ve started talking to my councilman about the issues (it helps my councilman is also my friend, Scott Hardy). It’s because of the people here. It’s because of the people at Tallapoosa Publishers. The editorial staff and I have been through a lot here at The Record since the death of our beloved Mitch Sneed. We have put in countless hours; we have given our blood, sweat and tears to making sure we put out a paper every single day, just like Mitch would. I often wonder what Mitch would think of me now. Would he be proud? It’s because of people like Caleb Turrentine. Caleb is the sportswriter at The Wetumpka Herald, The Tallassee Tribune and The Eclectic Observer. And you’ve seen his name grace the pages of The Record more than once as well. We went through a lot to get a solid, reliable and passionate sportswriter for TPI’s weekly papers, and Caleb is just that person. And he makes my job a heck of a lot easier. It’s because of the people who I can now call my friends. I’ve had a tough go of it throughout the last year in my personal life, and I have friends like Amy Passaretti, Santana Wood, Annie Bartol, Nick Grogan — the list goes on and on — who I can count on each and every day. They are blessings I never thought I’d have. It’s because of the people who I get to work with and talk to every day: Coaches, parents, readers. I’ve said it more than once; we have a great group of coaches and parents who are passionate about their kids, their sports and their athletics. The coaches around here have been more than receptive to the way I do things, and the parents have been more than appreciative. But most important, Alex City and Tallapoosa County is my home because of the people I cover. I’ve been in this business almost 10 years, and people always ask me, “Why don’t you get into reporting on college sports or the pros?” The answer is simple. I love the purity of high school sports and high school athletes. I love the want and the drive and the passion they show on a daily basis. Everything means so much to them. Every down is important; every basket is the big one; every pitch counts. Because their futures are still ahead of them, and their potential has yet to be fulfilled. I am blessed to have landed in Alexander City. When I first came here for my interview with Mitch, I fell in love with the area. I loved the lake and the hiking, and when Mitch took me to the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex and showed me the Benjamin Russell football stadium, I felt like I was home. Now, I know I really am.

good job of coming in and out on us and keeping us off balance,” Martin said. “I don’t know what it was. I think they were high 70s (mph) and usually we do crush that. We had some hard-hit balls to the outfield, and their outfield was pretty strong. But their pitchers did great.” Luckily for the Tigers, only one hit ultimately made the difference in their favor. In the top of the third, Dadeville’s Walker Spraggins led off before being moved along by a bunt single from Cooper Childers. Outlaw then played hero by smashing one over the left-field fence to drive in all three runs the Tigers scored during the doubleheader. Montgomery Academy looked to answer back by cutting into the deficit with a run in the bottom of the inning. But Dadeville was nearly perfect through the final four innings, allowing only one hit and two walks, to ensure the victory.

Elmore County’s Brett Williams and Steven Caudle are set to premiere season 3 of the popular hunting show “DoeNation” in August. The hunters will appear on WBIH-TV 29 in Selma and viewers will have the opportunity to see one of the cast member’s children take up the sport and much more. “DoeNation” is a reality hunting show featuring the two-man team that promotes bow hunting and couples it with the ministry of feeding the hungry. “We experienced a tremendous year with the ministry as we shattered the previous year’s total,” Williams said. “We ended this past season with 1,768 pounds of donated venison up from 1,321 pounds the previous year.” “DoeNation” served Elmore, Tallapoosa and Lee counties last year and hopes to continue expanding. “Our goal remains to reach a new county in Alabama each year,” Williams said. “We are working hard to find participating processors in Montgomery and Macon counties for this new season.” Williams said the experience has been humbling and he and Caudle are looking forward to bringing in more viewers throughout the state and beyond. “We will be expanding the show to air in north Alabama and south Tennessee starting in August,” he said. “By adding this station our viewership range will increase to 1.8 million. We are confident this will ensure continued growth for the ministry.” “DoeNation” has been in contact with a deer processor in north Alabama to help deliver the meat to the hungry. “We already have one processor committed to help and working on more to support the northern market,” Williams said. “We could not do any of this without the processors and our sponsors who support us financially.” Season 3 will include Caudle’s oldest daughter, E.C., taking her first deer on episode 3 on Aug. 20. The show will air every Tuesday starting at 8 p.m. Aug. 6. Williams said some of the upcoming episodes will spotlight

members of the younger generation and focus on the importance of continuing the sport through them. “We had some successful hunts with our kids this year and that is always a blessing to get kids involved with the outdoors,” Williams said. “Hunting has continued a downward trend with interest from the younger generation falling off. Involving our kids and making it fun for them helps ensure that our hunting heritage will continue to be strong.” During the third season, Caudle and Williams hit the road and head north to hunt. They also plan on taking additional trips out of state during future seasons. “We took two big out-of-state hunts this past year,” Williams said. “One was to Kentucky where Steven harvested a nice 8-point and another to Illinois where I had a great encounter with a young buck but no shot on that trip. We also hunted in Georgia and Tennessee. This year we have trips already planned to hunt Kansas and Oklahoma as well as Georgia and Tennessee again.” DoeNation’s participating processors from last season were A+ Deer Processing, The Skinning Shack, Bozeman’s Wild Game Processing, C&S Deer Processing and The Sportsman’s Outpost. “They all continue to believe and support the ministry by donating their services by grinding and packaging the venison into one-pound ground meat packs,” Williams said. “We have found this is the simplest way to process and provide the meat to those individuals who are food insecure.” The cast has delivered thousands of pounds of venison to area food
pantries and also gotten to know some of the families the pantries serve. “We dropped off 618 pounds of meat to the Elmore County Food Pantry only to have all of it given out the next day during their service time,” Williams said. “The clients refer to us as the ‘Doe Boys.’ Many times they ask the staff, ‘When will those Doe Boys be back with more deer meat?’ Many of the clients prefer the deer meat over the other available options.” Williams said he and Caudle are grateful for what the ministry has grown into. “It would be easy to take the credit for how the show and ministry have grown the last three years but that credit does not belong to us nor ours to take,” Williams said. “It is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that deserves it all and from our perspective will continue to get all the glory. He has opened so many doors and connected us with so many great folks that it truly is hard to explain. We have story after story of how He has provided and can’t be explained any other way.” Caudle and Williams speak about the ministry whenever the opportunity arises but it’s best not to schedule them during hunting season. “We are always open to individuals reaching out to us about speaking opportunities,” Williams said. “The best time to line those up is before hunting season because once that starts we will be in the woods hunting hard to harvest meat for the ministry.” To learn more about the organization, visit www.doenation. tv.
End to score. Eric Doh then got on base via an unsuccessful fielder’s choice that left Speaks in scoring position. No. 9-hitter Mac Martin took full advantage, smashing a double to left field and scoring two runs to give Montgomery Academy more than enough insurance. Throughout the game, the Tigers tried to battle back, putting runners on in all but one inning. But their hits didn’t come at opportune times. It wasn’t until the sixth inning Dadeville got anything but a two-out hit. “Their pitcher had a really good breaking
continued from Page B1 ball; his fastball was low 80s (mph) and he was mixing it up,” Martin said. “The first time through the lineup, they had a first-pitch fastball then a curveball. Then the second time, it was a firstpitch curveball, so they had us mixed up and off balance the whole game. That last inning, we tried to battle; we just couldn’t get it done.” Slade McCullers looked to get things going in the sixth inning when the Tigers finally got a leadoff single. But the Eagles turned a double play and Britton Kohn struck out his ninth of the night to quickly end the threat. In the end, Dadeville went down swinging. Alex Walker led off the bottom of the seventh with a single, and Cameron Tidwell was hit by a pitch to put two on. But after a pair of strikeouts, things didn’t look good for the Tigers. Jake Outlaw was hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Montgomery Academy induced a popup to end the game. Despite the loss, firstyear coach Martin led his Tigers to their first playoff appearance in three seasons and had them in the top 10 in Class 3A by the end of the regular season. “We won a lot of big games, and we won a lot of games against Class 4, 5 and 6A schools,” he said. “We battled, and I’m proud of these guys. I wish we could’ve went a little deeper, which I felt like we could have. But offensively, these last couple days, we really struggled. But overall, I thought we had a decent year; it just wasn’t the results we wanted.”

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your instincts tell you which way to go with a Ă&#x201E;nancial investment. You know what will work, though the end results might not be great. A discussion with an expert encourages you to revise your thinking. Tonight: Up late. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A discussion with a friend makes you smile. A long-term wish might be about to fulĂ&#x201E;ll itself. Do not erect a barrier between you and another person who often gives you solid advice. Rather, listen carefully to a suggestion. Tonight: Where you can hear good music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) What you hoped was a possibility might not come through. Investigate your options before you commit to any course of action. A partner or associate might be unusually tense Ă&#x201E;nancially. Relax and move forward on your own. Tonight: Work as a team. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could be stunned by what another person thinks and expects. You might not be comfortable with his or her request, yet you might say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? because bonding with this person is important to you. Be careful, as the tale might not turn out as you want. Tonight: Allow others to dominate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You might have a lot on your mind that you want to accomplish. Stay steady, knowing your ultimate goal. Do not take anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need to disappoint you too seriously. Recognize your limits and how far you are willing to Ă&#x2026;ex. Tonight: Let the party go on. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on what needs to be done. You have the energy and creativity to accomplish much more. You like a challenge every so often. Do not allow a great idea to go to the wayside because you would prefer to fuss or nitpick. Tonight: Make the most of the moment.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pace yourself and do not allow yourself to lose the beat. You will be much happier at the end of the day when you get to see how much you accomplished. A situation changes rapidly. Touch base with a neighbor or relative who often gives you important feedback. Tonight: Anchor in. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Make it OK to drag a little, especially if you are overwhelmed by all that you need to accomplish. Put your best foot forward and simply decide to get as much done as possible. Others reconsider their priorities. Tonight: The only answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You are lively and concerned with what might be happening around you Ă&#x201E;nancially. You have reason to ask some heavy questions and expect to get some equally meaningful responses. Do not allow someone to corner you. Tonight: Keep to the budget. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Despite a sense of unease, you decide to follow your established plans. You might still be unusually slow in making a decision as you evaluate the beneĂ&#x201E;ts of trying diÉ&#x2C6;erent logic in eyeing a problem. Tonight: Reevaluating a present hassle. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take your time making a decision. You might not be sure enough to take a stand, but this will soon change. You could be wondering about the best approach for changing your mood, revising your thinking and feeling much better. Tonight: Go for some extra R and R. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be so focused on making a Ă&#x201E;rm decision, you forget that perhaps you need to rethink a situation. In any case, a group of friends with very diÉ&#x2C6;erent ideas surrounds you. You could alter your thinking. Tonight: Make weekend plans.

Ultimate jugging produces catfish feeding frenzy By DAVID RAINER Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
Thank goodness some members of the younger generation still enjoy the outdoors. If not, Joe Allen Dunn and I would have been ripe for the making of a comedy video of catfishing bloopers. Fortunately, Dunn’s son, 19-year-old Hayden, was there to save two old dudes with bum knees from stumbling around the boat as the catfish went on a feeding frenzy. Hayden was netting fish, rebaiting and tossing jugs as fast as he could go. Dunn and James “Big Daddy” Lawler developed what they call “Ultimate Jug Fishing” for Millers Ferry on the Alabama River. Last September I made a trip to the (Dannelly) reservoir for hot-weather catfishing in deep water using sections of pool noodles as the floats with long lines to reach the fish in 20-30 feet of water. Dunn invited me back for the spring catfishing bonanza when the fish move onto the shallows during the spawning run. This time, the lines were 3-4 feet long rather than 30. Instead of pool noodles, the floats are 20-ounce Gatorade or Powerade bottles. A 30-inch section of green nylon string is tied to the bottle. A half-ounce lead weight is added before a swivel. About 18 inches of 40to 50-pound monofilament line is tied on before being snelled to a circle hook. Dunn said snelling the hook is important to get the circle hook to function like it should. He has also revised his recommendations on hook size. After a big catfish straightened out a 3/0 hook, he now sticks with 5/0. “You catch a lot of medium-sized fish, but every once in a while, you’ll catch a 15- to 20- or 30-pounder,” Dunn said. “If you’re trying to fight him around to get him in, he’s going to straighten that 3/0 out. I’m just going with a heavier hook from now on, and you’ll still catch the smaller fish on the bigger
hook. “The thing about the bottles is when the wind gets a little brisk, the bottles will turn and draft. They don’t catch the wind as bad, so you get a slower drift. You want a little wind for the drift, but you don’t want to be chasing your jugs all over the place.” Dunn buys bicycle tire inner tubes and uses scissors to cut 1-inch bands to slip over the neck of the jugs. This allows the lines to be wrapped tight so the lead won’t be slapping the bottle during transport, and it gives a place to stick the point of the circle hook to make sure it doesn’t get dull. The places Dunn looks to deploy the jugs are flats off the main river channel with 2½ to 6 feet of water. After cleaning the fish, we realized why the catfish were on one particular flat. The fish stomachs were full of juvenile mussels. “These fish are up there feeding and getting ready to spawn,” Dunn said. “The fish will stay in the flats the whole spring and the early part of the summer. When it gets hot, the fish will move out to the river channel.” Dunn prefers skipjack herring and threadfin shad for catfish bait. He uses a cast net to catch the shad and occasionally lucks up on a school of skipjacks along the river banks. Right now, he said the best way to catch skipjacks is to cast Sabiki rigs below the dam. Depending on the size, he uses a whole shad or cuts them in half. The skipjacks are cut into chunks. When he has a good bait run, Dunn has a specific way to freeze the bait for future use. “Don’t take a gallon bag and pack all you can in it and zip it up,” he said. “By the time you get them all thawed out like that, the bait gets mushy. I take a gallon bag and put enough bait in it to make one layer. I mash it flat and zip it up. The last time we put up bait, we counted how many we had in one layer, and it was about 50 baits. That’s working out real well.” Back to the feeding frenzy we had last week, the blue cats (and occasional channel cat)
“From that point where you can’t see the bottom on out to about 6 feet of water is where those fish will spawn,” he said. “They’re still on wood and brush, or there may be a laydown tree.” Overstreet is using a variety of fishing techniques to put crappie in the boat. “We’re doing corks and minnows,” he said. “We’re trolling some with minnows. And we’re pitching with 11-foot B&M poles and using a small cork with a 1/32-ounce Mid-South Tackle jig. On Millers Ferry, black and chartreuse is about as good a color as you can get. “We usually pitch it to where you can just see the bottom and work it out. Just let it sit for a second and let that light jig flutter down. Then bump the cork to make a little noise and then let it sit still. That gets the fish’s attention. They hit violently without even a minnow on it.” If the bite is kind of tough, Overstreet tips the jig with a minnow or a piece of Crappie Nibbles (scent cubes) for extra enticement. “The problem lately is getting minnows,” Overstreet said. “The folks around the lake are selling out of minnows two or three times a week. “A lot of people are fishing because the crappie spawn is in full swing right now.”

were hungry. We baited the circle hooks and started tossing out jugs about 25 yards apart and let them drift down the flat. Within five minutes, the action was non-stop, and we worked Hayden nonstop. As soon as a fish was thrown in the live well, another jug would start bobbing. “Every flat is not going to be like that,” Dunn said. “We hit it perfect. You may pick up one or two or nothing. You then pick up and move. You keep going into the flats until you find them. Make sure when you throw out the jugs that you get a good drift either across or down the flat. We hit it perfect last week. We were chasing jugs for an hour and a half. It was on.”
After we had a nice mess of catfish in the box, I insisted we try to find a few crappie. We hit the banks for a couple of hours, but the fish were not in the shallow water. A couple of days later, Dunn found out the fish were in a little deeper water. Gerald Overstreet, a Millers Ferry crappie guide (251-589-3225), said the receding water is the reason the crappie are not in the super shallow water. “I’ve seen it for the last several years,” Overstreet said. “What happens at Millers Ferry is when the water is up, the fish will get right beside the bank and will get really shallow, like 1 or 2 feet of water. They’ll get right in the bushes and brush that’s flooded.

or any other industrial setting before 1980:
“When the water drops back to normal pool and drops out of those bushes, the fish will pull back off the bank. When the water levels settle down, those fish will be in anywhere from 3 to 6 feet of water. They’re still spawning. They just move back. A lot of the stuff they were spawning on when the water was up, unless it’s laying in the water, they’ll move off of it. With the water at normal pool, they’ll find the wood, the laydowns and stumps and things that are in 3 to 6 feet of water.” Overstreet said he keeps the boat in a little deeper water to fish on the edges of the flats where the water gets deep enough that you can’t see the bottom.
