AREA SHOWED ITS RESILIENCE IN 2011 By MITCH SNEED Editor

Five years ago, the Lake Martin Community was waking up to incredible devastation caused by a tornado that ripped through a path from just north of Wetumpka, through the heart of Elmore and Tallapoosa counties. Dadeville experienced tremendous loss of property and loss of life.

As the anniversary of that day was commemorated in various ways, Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett was hit on two fronts. His department received 839 calls for help in a four-hour period, while his own Dadeville neighborhood took on extensive damage as a result of the EF 4 twister. “When you are actually hit in two ways like that, it extends the things you

are dealing with,” Abbett said. “Just the amount of damage that resulted meant that there was no way that it could be handled quickly. “So we were looking at an extended amount of time. But over those three weeks we had 30 different agencies in here and no telling how many volunteers who responded to help get the area back to some degree of normalcy.” Abbett said that response and the

Board votes to close Councill

Camp Hill’s financial problems are reaching a head. Council members expressed their frustrations in a financial committee meeting followed by a special called meeting to pay the town’s bills Wednesday afternoon. “We are broke,” Anthony Pogue said. “We will not last through the summer.” “This is giving me a headache,” Ezelle Smith said. The committee meeting came about at Monday’s council meeting when council members could not vote to approve payment of bills due to a lack of funds. The committee looked at losses of income from utilities and courts. “We are not making near the money now that we do in the winter because of gas,” Pogue said. “In the past, that profit helped get us through the summer months.” The mild winter affected income. “Winter was not cold this year,” Pogue said.

spirit with which the residents and the people attacked the devastation was a reminder of how incredible the people of this community can be. “You never want to say that you were lucky, especially with all the damage and loss of life,” Abbett said. “But because of the timing many of the lake homes were not occupied full-time.

So Morgan asked where the water in Lake Martin came from. Told the lake was man-made, Morgan was See WATER • Page 5

There was no joy on the faces of the members of the Tallapoosa County School Board when it came time to vote on the single question on its agenda Friday afternoon. “With a heavy heart, so moved,” said board member Michael Carter in moving to accept Superintendent Joe Windle’s recommendation to close Councill Middle School at the end of the current school year and move sixthgrade students to Dadeville Elementary School and seventh- and eighth-grade students to Dadeville High School beginning in the 2016-17 school year. “With a heavy, heavy heart, I second,” said board member Matilda Woodyard-Hamilton. The board then voted unanimously to accept Windle’s recommendation. “It’s never pleasant when you’re looking at the possibility of closing one of your school locations,” said Windle at the meeting’s outset. “This is not a pleasant task that we have to consider today, not a pleasant recommendation to be made whether for or against.” As he had in two public meetings on the potential closure of the 62-yearold facility, Windle again laid out the relevant facts: dwindling student population, static tax revenues, the costs of maintaining the facility and the need to act to meet the state’s requirement that the board achieve and See COUNCILL • Page 3

County-wide cleanup a huge success By Cliff Williams Staff Writer

Saturday’s County Wide Clean up was a huge success. The Tallapoosa County Commission provided dumpsters across the county to allow citizens to dispose of larger items and volunteers took to the roads to help pick up trash disposed of on roadways. “I think it was huge success,” Lake Martin Resource Association’s John Thompson said. “Every dumpster but two were overflowing.” In all, nearly 200 volunteers picked up more than 330 bags of trash from roadsides throughout the county. Grills, cabinets, toys and more could be found out dumpsters as residents empCliff Williams / The Record tied their storage areas.

ake our Daughters and Sons to Work day! Take our Daughters and Sons to Work day is held in the United States on the fourth Thursday in April every year designed for parents to share with their children their work. This day was originally “Take our Daughters to Work Day” but changed in the year 2003 to include boys. The purpose of the program is to expose our children to a variety of career paths early in life to get them thinking about options as well as to have them exposed while their gender roles are more flexible. By exposing children early to all career options this can help combat gender stereotypes at an early age. The 3rd annual Mother’s Day Flower Fundraiser is still going on. Please stop by the library to donate a small gift towards the purchase of flowers for the women in the local assisted living and retirement homes. Dolores Hydock will be speaking at Red Ridge Methodist Church on May 10 at 1:30 p.m. This is a free event. Come hear the famous storyteller describe the paintings of Norman Rockwell and the influence it has on American Society. Remember to get to the Church early to get a good seat.

mean, there were 120 kids at a retreat at Camp Alamisco and it missed there by a mile or two. So little things like that you are thankful for. “Plus I think the tornado again showed how resilient the people of this area really are,” Abbett said. “They rolled up their sleeves and went to work. I think that’s why we recovered as well as we have.” Gov. Robert Bentley on Wednesday visited one of the hardest hit areas to assess the progress five years later and highlight the state’s response. “Alabama will never forget the more than 250 people who lost their lives on April 27, 2011,” Bentley said. Wednesday in Hackleburg. “Today, five years later, Alabama is better prepared to face the next natural disaster due to the lessons learned in how we prepare and respond. I am proud of the efforts state agencies made to help communities recover.” Sen. Jeff Sessions praised the work done by first-responders and volunteers that day and said

that it was a day that will never be forgotten in Alabama. “The tornadoes which ripped through the Southeast five years ago did unprecedented damage in Alabama, tearing apart not just our homes and businesses but countless families,” Sessions said in a released statement. “However, in those darkest of days, the people of our state united in a common purpose to reveal their true nature. The love and service shown in the following days and weeks through the giving of time, aid, and prayer brought our communities together like never before. “The work which began the morning after the storms to rebuild our communities from the destruction continues to this day. As we look back on how far our state has come in these short five years, let us take time to cherish the memories of the loved ones who were lost and who will never be replaced.” Abbett said that while no one can ever prepare for a disaster of the magnitude that the area expe-

I do think that was the case with that period for sure.”

maintain a minimum reserve of one month’s operating expenses. Windle also answered questions from the board about the continuation of the accelerated reading program, whether the younger students would mingle with older students during breaks and lunchroom capabilities with increased numbers of students. He said the Councill accelerated reading program would continue largely as is for students moved to the elementary school and the program’s continuation at the high school would require use of technology and existing scheduling expertise. He said the younger students at the high school would be scheduled for breaks at times different from older students’ breaks and that the lunchroom personnel were capable of handling

the increased number of students. “(Lunchroom workers) have served more than they will have next year in the past,” Windle said. Windle also reiterated information shared Wednesday night on student populations after the closure and cost savings. Dadeville High School’s student population would increase by a net of 58 students, he said, and cost savings – including recurring expenses, one-time emergency expenses (based on an annual average over three years) and installation of technology infrastructure that will no longer be necessary at Councill – equaled approximately $190,000. Not until each board member indicated he or she had no more questions did the recommendation and a corresponding resolution come

to a vote. Councill Middle School is located at 254 Leach Street in Dadeville. The school, originally built in 1954, was named after Dr. William Hooper Councill, a former slave and a contemporary of Booker T. Washington when Washington was president of Tuskegee and Councill was the first president of Huntsville Normal School, now Alabama A&M University Councill School serves grades 6 through 8. It was closed in 1970 and, between then and 1980, served many purposes, including housing a sewing plant. The main building reopened in 1980 as the kindergarten annex for Dadeville Elementary. In the summer of 2005, the facility was remodeled to serve as a middle school.

We have a L genuine, caring community spirit

rom supporting one another in a time of tragedy to coming together for the good of all, Alexander City and Tallapoosa County proved again last week what a great community we live in. More than 500 people from diverse backgrounds came together Sunday night at a candlelight vigil to show support for a family struck by a senseless shooting Wednesday. As the sun fell from the sky, any differences quickly disappeared into the night air. Neighbors hugged and provided a much needed shoulder of comfort. The vigil was organized to show the family the love and support that the community is willing to give. Michelle Wilson echoed that feeling of community at Sunday's vigil while fighting back tears as she mourns the loss of her husband. “We have had so much love and support from people I’ve never met," Wilson said. "I know it’s going to be a long road." Great Bethel's Dr. Emerson Ware provided some of the best insight of the community at Sunday's vigil and is a great blueprint for an ideal community. “It is truly something to behold to see everyone gathered with a common goal of love and support," Ware said. "I am thankful to God that we have come out in unity and showed that support, not only in words, but in spirit.” Though tragedy may have garnered many headlines this week, some of the community's best physical efforts came on Saturday during a countywide clean-up as nearly 200 volunteers took to the roads picking up trash others disposed of. Some 300 bags of cans, wrappers, diapers and other household garbage were picked up by some of the communities best. Not only was trash picked up from the roadways, but dumpsters provided an opportunity for us to properly dispose of items that have been lying around. We hope that these two events are not just blips on the radar and are signs of great things to come for the area.

ast week I wrote a column about Donald Trump that obviously touched a nerve. A number of people called – or wrote – to tell me I was way off base comparing Trump to Hitler. And I agree. And that’s why I didn’t compare Trump to Hitler. What I did was say that Trump, Hitler and Jesse Jackson are three people who each had a rare ability to convince and seduce us with the way they communicate as opposed to what they actually said. Just to be very clear, I do not think the Developer and the Fuhrer and the Preacher have much else in common. But they each could move mountains with their voices. A number of people who called asked me who I’d vote for right now. Personally, I would vote for Gov. John Kasich, who probably doesn’t have much of a chance to win the Republican primary. But at this moment, I’d vote for him anyway. His stated beliefs – not how he says them but what he actually says – line up closely with mine. Here’s one way I know: the iSideWith.com poll. If you haven’t taken this, I’d recommend you give it a try. It’s a poll you can take on the web composed of 27

questions. Your answers are compared to the positions of the presidential front-runners and after taking the poll, you will see how you line up with them on the issues. This poll was developed in 2012 by Taylor Peck, a political analyst, and Nick Boutelier, who calls himself a “lifelong undecided voter.” The two guys said they “are not affiliated with any investors, shareholders, political party or interest group.” The site has been written up by Forbes magazine, which called it “an interactive, nonpartisan site that allows voters (or wouldbe voters) to see where they stand on issues and which candidates they agree with most, based on their political beliefs.” I don’t know much more about iSideWith.com, other than when I took the test, it sided me with Kasich, which is where I thought I would be in the first place. I’d say you might be surprised by what you come up with after taking the poll, and I would encourage you to do so and think about the

results with an open mind because it neutralizes the emotions of the political season and emphasizes the issues. In fact, I think we’d all be better off if we could take the emotion out of politics. People get so worked up, so polarized that they tend to become black and white on the candidates. One guy’s the winner and the others are losers. We love one, we hate the others. That’s just not how life works. In reality, I doubt there will ever be a candidate who believes exactly the same things I do. We will always have issues we agree on, and those we disagree on. My job as a citizen is to decide which candidate has the most “agrees” with my stances, and to pull the lever with his or her name on it. It’s not to demonize the other candidates, or to put any candidate up on a pedestal as being infallible, because nobody is always perfect or wrong. We all are imperfect, none of us has a crystal ball. We’re simply voting for the candidate who we believe is most likely to make the best choices for our country. And we should judge that by their position on issues, not their performance on stage. Boone is publisher of The Record.

You don’t stand a chance. It’s inevitable. You know he’s going to knock you out or at least bite off a piece of your ear, or in my case, my heart. Either way, it’s going to hurt. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever been through, which includes nine straight Iron Bowl losses to Alabama, three tours in Iraq, and the final season of The Dukes of Hazzard. Most of us at some point in our lifetime will go through this sort of pain, and the source of our pain is irrelevant. I’ve always heard that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. I always chalked it up as just another “feel good” cliché but now know that it’s much more than that; it’s the absolute truth for those of us who choose to see the cup as half full and not half empty. Although I still have my weak moments, I know that I am a much stronger person. Not only that, I’m a better person. My faith is at an all-time high. I’m more caring and compassionate than before, and I truly understand the power of forgiveness. I don’t hate; I hurt. Sometimes. Furthermore, I don’t blame or point fingers.

He was, however, only 75 percent correct, unless he was double jointed in his thumb. I know I made mistakes, but I was faithful, loving and loyal to the bitter end. That is something no one can deny. I sincerely wish all parties involved nothing but the best. They know that, and I think they wish the same for me. Life is too precious and too short to harbor hate and resentment in our hearts. It gets you nowhere. It weighs you down. It puts you in a dark place, a hole. The very wise and practical Will Rogers said it best, “When you find yourself in a hole, quit digging.” Instead of digging myself into deeper sorrow, I relied heavily on my faith, family, friends, and fur babies to get through those hard times. I also found myself writing more, as well as riding more out on the beautiful backroads of East Alabama

and West Georgia. Speaking of digging, gardening has been therapeutic for me, too. Even during our darkest hours, there are so many good things for us to focus on. By no means was it all bad. As time goes by, I’m focusing more and more on the good memories that were made, and believe you me, they were plentiful. I will hold some of them near and dear to my heart for the rest of my life. Most of those memories are of the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world. It’s often been said that life is not a sprint; it’s a marathon—oftentimes an uphill, shoeless marathon on a dirt road littered with rocks, rattlesnakes, and shards of glass. You’re going to bleed and you’re going to hurt, but you have to keep on moving forward. Your resilience, perseverance, and toughness will strengthen with each step, and as long as you never quit, you will undoubtedly reach the finish line and be a better person when the dust has settled. Trust me. I’ve been there. Don’t ever give up. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

Pogue was also frustrated over a lack of reserves as the committee looked at checking accounts, expenses and income from utilities. “Through February of 2015 we had been having a reserve of about $50-60,000 a year to help us get through summer,” Pogue said. “We have lost income. Our bills have gone up. Looking at these numbers, for the next few months, we are looking at a $7,000 to $12,000 a month shortfall.” For courts, the collection of fines has been down. Income was not the only area that the committee looked at as they looked at cost saving measures. “I think we need to do a list of recommendations,” Will York said. “I think we will need to institute a hiring freeze and no unapproved overtime.” The council even spoke to utility worker Robert Shelley. “Could you work with fewer staff and still be able to do what you need to do?” York asked. “Maybe one,” Shelley responded. Pogue presented an idea that would save jobs.

“We might have to look at a 32-hour work week,” Pogue said. “It is better to have a job than no job.” To attempt to start solving the financial woes, the committee asked for Town Clerk LaKesia Harris’ recommendation on what bills to pay given funds. “We have to pay the IRS,” Harris said. “That is about $5,800 and we need to pay $12,000 for workman’s compensation insurance. The insurance is for the year and we have inquired about breaking it up into three or four installments.” The council approved the payment to the IRS and for the insurance hoping that they could pay in installments. In addition to getting an installment plan for insurance, Council member York brought up a suggestion for working with the IRS. “We need to get our attorney to get with the IRS,” York said. “We need to check with them and see about getting some relief and seeing why funds have not been applied to our balance.”

Water

even more puzzled. “How could one man do this?” Morgan inquired, motioning at the broad expanse of water off the point at Wind Creek State Park where he and his classmates sat. Campbell and others explained building Lake Martin took hundreds of men who built a dam to block the Tallapoosa River and form the lake. Finally, Morgan was satisfied. Morgan’s inquisitiveness was just one example of that shown Wednesday morning at the Water Festival as approximately 250 schoolchildren from Dadeville, Horseshoe Bend and Reeltown Schools gathered at Wind Creek to learn all about water from aquifers to the water cycle. Today, children from Stephens and Coosa elementary schools will visit the festival, making the total number of children exposed to the activities approximately 600. The kids each visited six stations, learning hands-on at each about different aspects of water and how important it is to their everyday lives. At the fisheries station, the children were exposed to several different species of fish, including carp, largemouth bass, spotted suckers and others. They learned the things that fish need to live and were even able to handle and, in at least one case, kiss a fish. Dadeville fourth-grader Lane Chayka gave the fish a quick smack and then, when asked what kid of fish it was, couldn’t recall that it was a spotted sucker.

“You kissed a fish and didn’t even know its name?” Tallapoosa County Extension Specialist Shane Harris asked. At the “Edible Acquifer” station, students pulled refreshments through a straw from plastic cups to illustrate how groundwater is pulled from aquifers. They used sprinkles and other edibles in their drinks to demonstrate the potential for the presence of contaminants in groundwater. Other stations taught the attendees safe canoeing practices and water conservation. “Any time students are outside learning with handson activities it sets them up to understand things more clearly and put what they learn in place in their everyday lives,” said Sabrina Wood of the Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership who coordinates the festival. “This is a wonderful opportunity for them.” The Tallapoosa County Water Festival is one of several of its kind in the state, Wood said, but the only one that is held outdoors and the only one that offers six activities to visiting schoolchildren. The annual festival is sponsored by the City of Alexander City, Alabama Department of Environmental Management, Constellation Energy, Alabama State Parks, Lake Martin HOBO, Lake Martin Resource Association, Alabama Power Co., Tallapoosa and Coosa County Conservation District, Coosa County Forestry Planning Committee, Lake Martin Lions Club, Kellyton Fire and Rescue, Russell Lands, Alabama Cooperative Extension System, Lake Watch and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

Cleanup

continued from page 1

Thompson believes the success of Saturday points to a need in the community. “It points out people need a place to dispose of large items,” Thompson said. “People will take the option of least resistance when disposing of things.” The clean up got started two weeks ago as Russell Lands with 30 associates and volunteers picked up 120 bags of trash along Highway 63. Saturday, organized efforts to pick up trash occurred in the Hackneyville Community, along Pearson Chapel Road, Madwind Road, in Alexander City, and the Union Community. Kathy Nicholson helped organize a cleanup on Pearson Chapel Road through her church, New Providence Baptist Church. “We only cleaned a three mile stretch,” Nicholson said. “We filled up a trailer and two pickup trucks. We never thought it was that bad.” Nicholson said she the church had more to sign

up to help and hopes that it is a sign of things to come. “We had 16 to sign up for the cleanup,” Nicholson said. “We hope it is a sign that people would like to keep things clean.” Nicholson and Thompson hope the commission will help citizens with a place to dispose of

large items again in the future and picked up garbage again. “We will help again,” Nicholson said of trash pick up days. “I hope the commission sees this as an indicator of a need,” Thompson said. “I think people will dispose of things properly when given the opportunity.”

NATIONAL ARBOR DAY

National Arbor Day is observed each year on the last Friday in April. This year we will celebrate it on April 29. Arbor Day promotes the importance of planting and caring for trees. The holiday was created in 1872 by a journalist named J. Sterling Morton. Morton was a pioneer who had moved from Detroit, MichiJDQ WR 1HEUDVND 8SRQ KLV DUULYDO KH TXLFNO\ EHJDQ WR SODQW PDQ\ WUHHV VKUXEV DQG Ă&#x20AC;RZHUV 2Q $SULO DV WKH KHDG RI WKH 6WDWH %RDUG RI $JULFXOWXUH 0RUWRQ KHOG WKH ÂżUVW $UERU 'D\ HYHQW D FRQWHVW ZLWK prizes to see who could plant the most trees. Close to one million trees were planted that day.

Schools, businesses, community groups, and many families choose to celebrate the day by planting a tree. Trees are so important for the environment; planting and protecting them are vital to maintain a healthy Earth. They provide homes for animals, lumber and pulp to make building materials and paper, and they help to clean the air, prevent erosion, and produce many types of foods such as fruits, nuts, and syrups. So, do the Earth a favor today, a and plant a tree!

Food safety applies for fundraisers too Drug Take-Back event set Saturday BY PATTI WEST Regional Extension Agent

any local organizations count on the help that comes from fundraising events and nearly all of these events involve food. Fairs, festivals, bazaars, cookoff competitions, spaghetti suppers, pancake breakfasts all feature dishes usually prepared by volunteers. If food is mishandled during preparation, storing or serving, serious consequences may result, especially for high risk individuals – young children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. It is important to protect your fundraiser/event from foodborne illness. In 2015, the Alabama Department of Public Health reported 99 outbreaks of foodborne illness in the state. In 2013 a fundraising event in Alabama was the source of an outbreak of Salmonella. An estimated 200 – 300 people became ill after eating food prepared for the event. An investigation by the Health Department concluded that the outbreak was caused by mishandling of the food – improper temperatures, and cross contamination. If your organization is planning a

community fundraising event involving food, consider the implications of food safety at this event. Bacteria are an invisible enemy that could cause serious problems for many individuals. One in six Americans get sick from food poisoning each year. For this reason, it is important that volunteers be aware of food safety practices when preparing and serving large quantities of food. Food Safety for Fundraisers is a class being offered by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System for organizations to receive some food safety training in quantity cooking. Tallapoosa County Extension will host classes on May 3rd and May 10th at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse Extension auditorium in Dadeville. Class time is 6 - 8 pm. Food Safety for Fundraisers will focus on the principles of keeping food safe when handling large quantities of food. The class will be offered in two sessions of 2 hours each, a certificate of study will be given to those who complete the course. There is no charge to attend. Contact the Tallapoosa County Extension office at 256-825-1050 for more information. Foodborne illness is preventable, and prevention begins with you.

The Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership is once again teaming up with area law enforcement to offer a safe way to dispose of old, unwanted medication. The fifth annual Drug Take Back Event is set for Saturday, April 30 at Walgreens Pharmacy located in Alex City from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sabrina Wood, coordinator of the Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership, said the event will offer a free, safe and environmentally-friendly way to dispose of old or unwanted medication. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are eligible for drop off – no liquids or needles will be accepted. “We partner with law enforcement as a part of this national event, and we’re excited once again to offer this locally,” Wood said. “A lot of times, people do not have access to safe and environmentally friendly ways to dispose of old medicine. This partnership offers that opportunity to them.” Wood said participating agencies include the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force, Drug Enforcement Agency, Alexander City Police Department and Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water

Partnership. Items can be dropped off to these agencies in the Walgreens parking lot the day of the event. The free, anonymous, no-questionsasked initiative prevents pill abuse and theft by ridding homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted drugs. It also addresses a vital public health and public safety issue. “Medications that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse,” Wood said in a released statement. Wood said it’s important to properly dispose of medication because it prevents harmful chemicals from getting into drinking water. “Studies are showing that this practice is dangerous to our rivers, lakes and streams as well as harmful to the animals that depend on these aquatic habitats,” Wood said in her release. “A study done by the United State Geological Survey back in 1999 showed that 80 percent of our streams contained compounds found in common medications. Sewage systems are not set up to remove these medicines from water that is released into lakes, rivers or oceans. Fish and other aquatic animals have shown adverse effects from medicines in the water.” For any questions, contact 256-3295176 or 334-273-7300.

Tigers fall in first round, Nolen calls it a career By ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor

Baseball season came to an end for Dadeville in Saturday’s series deciding game three at Bibb County. The Tigers split last Friday’s doubleheader at Bibb County in round one of the Class 4A State Playoffs, as Bibb County won game one, 3-2, but the Tigers won game two, 11-10. Saturday, the Tigers’ season ended with a 17-4 defeat. Dadeville Coach Randy Nolen said Friday’s games were very competitive and the Tigers fought hard in game two. “Friday, it was two pretty good baseball games and really competitive. They threw a left hander in the first game and we didn’t do a really good job of adjusting and staying back,” Nolen said. “Their pitcher did a good job. We kind of got behind the eight ball in game one, but game two we responded, got down but came back and tied it up, got down again and went ahead. They tied it up, but we wound up winning in the eighth.” Nolen said things simply did not go Dadeville’s way on Saturday, as Bibb County hit the ball well all game. “We felt pretty good going into Saturday, but Saturday was one of those games where everything they hit fell in and everything we hit went right to them,” Nolen said. “We changed a lot of pitchers trying to change the karma and change some things, but it was like it didn’t matter who we put out there. Everything they hit was going in gaps.

It wasn’t meant to be, but to finish up the season competing in those first two games the way we did and fighting back in the second game was good. We put ourselves in a position to at least have a chance to win the third game.” The end to the season also marked the end of Nolen’s nearly 30 years at the helm of the Dadeville program, as he said he will retire. Despite the 10-25 finish to the season, Nolen said the Tigers saw consistent improvement near the end of the season and he was proud of the effort in the series against Bibb County. “It just puts a little emphasis on what we’d talked about earlier about how much improvement these guys have made throughout the year and playing with a little more confidence,” Nolen said. “I was really, really proud of the effort. It’s tough any time your season ends. It’s tough for the kids and this being my last one, it was pretty emotional. It’s one of those things as far as finishing out the season, I was very proud of the effort and the improvement the guys made. They kept on fighting. “Even the game on Saturday, we got down and they stayed positive and kept swinging the bats.” Nolen added he is thankful for the time and people he has worked with at Dadeville. “I am retiring,” Nolen said. “Blessed is the best word I can come up with. The kids, the parents, the administration, people I’ve worked with, it’s just been a blast. It’s been fun.”

Rebels sweep Rams, set to host area rival Generals in round two By ROBERT HUDSON Sports Editor

REELTOWN – The Reeltown Rebels are moving on to the second round. Reeltown (20-11) swept the Francis Marion Rams 17-3 and 12-0 in round one of the Class 2A State Playoffs on Friday afternoon. Reeltown Coach Mike Jones said the Rebels showed a lot of maturity in round one. “They came out ready to play and they came out with a good mentality. We played well,” Jones said. “For the most part, they came out and did what they were supposed to do, handled the game early, then took control of it and kept the lead. They showed a lot of maturity in how they went about their business.” In game one, Reeltown got things going in the bottom of the first, as Shep Flurry scored on a single by Cal Burton, and Joby Newman and Burton each scored on passed balls to make it 3-0. Reeltown added three more runs in the bottom of the first, with Cade Giddens scoring on a double by Cole Noble and two more runners scoring on a single to right by Landon Hunt, making the score 6-0. The Rebels continued to bring in the runs in the bottom of the third with a Giddens hit to left bringing in three runners after being dropped, putting the score at 9-0. Reeltown went on to add eight runs in the bottom of the fourth, including a pair of RBI by Newman and another RBI by Giddens. Francis Marion’s three runs were scored in the top of the fifth. Reeltown opened game two with Flurry scoring on a liner to left by Giddens and a double by Montez Brooks that drove in Giddens to make it 2-0 in the top of the first. The Rebels scored two more in the top of the third, as Brooks and Hunt scored on a double by Collier Bonner that put it at 4-0. Burton doubled to bring home Flurry and Newman in the top of the fourth, then Burton scored on a passed ball

and Giddens scored on a double by CJ Bell that made it 8-0. Newman drove in another runner in the top of the fifth, Flurry and Newman scored on a triple by Burton and Burton scored on a fielder’s choice to close out the game for Reeltown. Noble won game one from the mound for the Rebels, while Bonner won game two. “It (opening at home) kind of helps us calm the nerves,” Jones said. “The nerves get to us a little bit, so being at home helps us kind of calm that down. For some of our guys, this is their first playoff, so they’re kind of nervous and they’re not used to the bigger crowd and not used to the pressure. So, I think it definitely helps us out a lot being at home for the first two rounds.” With the win over Francis Marion, the Rebels will host the rival Horseshoe Bend on Friday starting at 4 p.m. with game two following game one. The Generals defeated Holy Spirit Catholic in Tuscaloosa in a best-of-three series to open the playoffs. Horseshoe Bend (12-17) won game one 16-4 and fell 6-4 in game two on Friday. But in Saturday’s game three, the Generals prevailed 14-10. Horseshoe Bend Coach Jason Johnson said the Generals must play better against Reeltown and carry over their hitting performance from this past weekend, as they fell in each regular-season matchup against the Rebels. “We’ve got another shot at Reeltown and that’s what we’ve been waiting on. Maybe we can go down there and give them a game for a change. They’ve beaten us pretty bad the last several times we’ve played,” Johnson said. “That’s been our goal all year is to get through the first round and get another shot at them. Maybe we’ll make the best of it. But we’re going to have to slow them down offensively. Every time we’ve played them, they’ve done a Robert Hudson / The Record really good job of hitting, especially with two outs and runners At top, Reeltown first baseman Landon Hunt (9) hauls in a throw during game two of Friday’s playoff opener against Francis on base. That’s kind of been our Marion. At bottom, Reeltown’s Cole Noble delivers a pitch during game one of Friday’s playoff opener. Reeltown will host round two in the Class 2A State Playoffs on Friday. Achilles heel against them.”

Days after the tornado rolled through Elmore and Tallapoosa counties, Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley toured the devastation. Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett met with Bentley and showed him where some of the hardest hit ares in the county were located. Bentley offered state assistance and helped secure federal disaster funds to help with the recovery efforts.

Community responded to assist those in need Former EMA Director Boone says much was learned from the experience of 2011 tornado

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

nlike five years ago, retired Tallapoosa County EMA director Joe Paul Boone hopes to get some rest tonight. “I plan to get a good night’s sleep,” Boone said. “I was up all night five years ago.” That Wednesday night five years ago was interesting for many in the area as a tornado struck Elmore County traveling across Kowaliga through Children’s Harbor, Windermere to Paces Point to the Dadeville area. Craig and Gloria Vandernoot were visiting Maxwell-Gunter Recreation Area in Dadeville when the tornado struck. “We stayed in the bathroom when the storm when through,” Carl said in 2011. “If it had gone 200 yards to the left, we wouldn’t be standing here talking to you right now.” After the storm hit, the Vandernoots started to assess the damage and gather lost belongings. “We spent about three hours looking for our stuff in the water,” Carl said. Elmore and Tallapoosa counties were not the only areas struck as numerous long-tracked tornadoes struck Alabama. Boone helped direct the response in Tallapoosa County following the tornado outbreak. “As soon as the storm passed, everybody that could do something was there helping,” Boone said. “Everybody pulled together, the fire departments, the rescue squads, law enforcement. In addition to first responders we had a lot of help from individuals.” The area had three deaths due to the massive funnel cloud that crossed over 30 miles. Seventy-year-old Katherine B. Massa of Dadeville died from injuries she sustained after being thrown from her house when the tornado struck south Dadeville around 9 p.m. that Wednesday in 2011. Two others lost their lives in the Kowaliga Basin area while staying in a cabin. Russell Lands worked hard that first day to help clear the way for property owners to come in. “The amount of work that went on between 5 o’clock Thursday morning and 5 o’clock Thursday evening was just incredible,” Roger Holliday, vice president of Russell Lands On Lake Martin said in 2011. “People who are seeing it today have no idea what they missed yesterday if they are coming in to the area by Windermere.” Boone spent a lot of the first days of the See RESPONSE • Page B4

The strength of the storm was evident by the scope of the damage and the way items like a pickup truck were tossed around like matchbox toys. Residents, when they got to their property, were often met with massive piles of rubble.

A tornado’s deadly path

On April 27, 2011 an EF4 tornado rolled across Lake Martin. Several homes, businesses and other structures were completely destroyed as it left a path of destruction. Some vehicles were carried more than 100 yards. The tornado resulted in seven deaths, as it traveled a 44.2-mile path that included Elmore, Tallapoosa and Chambers counties. TORNADO BY THE NUMBERS Rating: EF-4 Estimated Maximum Wind: 170 mph Injuries/Fatalities: 30 Injuries / 7 Fatalities Damage Path Length: 44.18 miles Maximum Path Width: 880 yards (1/2 mile) Approximate Start Point/Time: Near Wetumpka at 8:12 p.m. Approximate End Point/Time: Near LaFayette at 9:09 p.m.

Response recovery out near Paces Point where the county EMA set up a temporary headquarters at Lake Martin Baptist Church. “We had a lot of help from church people that was great,” Boone said. “If we needed chainsaws to help clear driveways, they were there to help.” The days after the storm saw help

continued from page 1

come from everywhere, from volunteers to church groups to the Alabama National Guard as it mobilized over 1,500 to help. In addition to lack of rest and lots of work, Boone had a problem to overcome. “I worked all of that with a broken leg,” Boone said. “I broke it the

Saturday before the storm. It was a trying time for me.” Boone said the storm taught everyone lessons and helped prepare everyone for the next disaster. “It does not seem like it has been five years. I think we are better prepared now,” Boone said. “We now have an idea of what to do. We know that we

have to run the equipment from time to time. First responders have equipment stationed in different areas so that if a storm impacts one area, it does not affect all of their resources.” Boone hopes tonight is uneventful. “I hope to sleep well,” Boone said. “And not break a leg.”

LOOKING BACK

Five years ago tornadoes devastated Alabama including one in Elmore and Tallapoosa counties.

As the tornado crossed the lake, it left behind huge amounts of debris. According to retired Tallapoosa County EMA director Joe Paul Boone FEMA helped clean up the mess of damaged boats, homes, docks, vehicles and homes. File Photos from The Alex City Outlook

The tornado touched down in Elmore County traveling along Lake Martin through Trillium, Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Harbor, Windermere, Paces Point and Dadeville living behind millions of dollars in damage and taking three lives. Five years later much of the damage has been repaired. If you look closely, one can still see the path.
