Dadeville looks at beautification options By Cliff Williams Record Staff Writer
The Dadeville City Council is still trying to move ahead with the courthouse square renovation project for which it has received a $400,000 grant but wants the Tallapoosa County Commission to be involved also. “We have discussed at the last couple of council meetings,” Dadeville Council Member Randy Foster said. “It’s going to take both entities to make it happen.” Attending the meeting Tuesday night
were Tallapoosa County Commissioner Emma Jean Thweatt and County Administrator Blake Beck. “I think the commission will take it on soon,” Beck said. “These downtown projects do make towns look better. I cannot commit the commission to do it, but I think there is interest there. We (Thweatt and Beck) have met with the engineers on this. For us, you are talking a funding date of 2017-18. That is enough time for the commission to work with it. It gives us some time to make it
work budget wise.” Foster agreed. “Given two or three years, I think we could come up with the money in that time frame,” Foster said. The council heard from some of its department heads. Dadeville Fire Chief Keith Wilkerson asked permission to purchase five radios for new firemen in the department. The money was already in the department’s communication budget and the council agreed to allow the purchase. Wilkerson

also got permission to purchase two t-shirts for each of the 27 firemen the department has to have something to wear under turnout gear and the vests they wear on calls. Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour told the council about several complaints about the wait at the red light at the intersection of Highway 49 and Highway 280. Barbour explained that the sensor has most likely gone out and that the cost See COUNCIL, Page A3

It looks like the Tallapoosa County Department of Human Resources is on its way to new building in Dadeville. The Dadeville City Council heard a request at Tuesday night’s meeting from Tallapoosa County Administrator Blake Beck for the city to allow DHR to use seven acres of City of Dadeville property behind Subway for a new building. “The county commission has been approached by DHR for additional space.” Beck said. “Our goal is to keep this facility in Dadeville. It is centrally located for everyone that uses it. They employ 38 people there. They get a lot of traffic.” At Monday’s meeting of the Tallapoosa County Commissioners, they seemed to be excited about the possibility. Dadeville Council Member Randy Foster said the council is very interested in helping out. “It has been discussed briefly,” Foster said. “I think everyone is on board with it. There is a process that we need to go through with the town attorney, but I don’t think it will be a See DHR, Page A5

Board talks opening day, enrollment, planning By Cliff Williams Record Staff Writer
The Tallapoosa County Schools had a successful opening last Thursday and now that students are settled in, the focus turns to the bigger picture and planning for the future. With the new 1-cent sales tax on the minds of all in Tallapoosa County, the Tallapoosa County Board of Education is working to bring a county commissioner into its Capital Improvement Plan Committee so that the commission is more
aware of what is going on at the schools. “I think it is only right and proper to invite one of the commissioners to sit on this committee since they passed the 1-cent sales tax,” Tallapoosa County Schools superintendent Joe Windle told the board at Monday’s meeting. “It will become an issue at some point in the future and I think it is an important part of what we want to do. I think it will head off questions the commission might have. The capital improvement committee is really See SCHOOLS, Page A3

Visitors to the Tallapoosa County Courthouse can enjoy a new level of security thanks to a Homeland Security grant that funded a new x-ray machine at the main entrance to the building. Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said that the $29,900 grant allowed them to replace an aging piece of equipment that they wouldn’t have been able to replace otherwise. “The previous machine had outlived its usefulness,” Abbett said. “I
mean our guys did the best they could with it, but this new machine gives a whole new level of detail that we just did not get with the other equipment.” The machine comes with a display screen that gives a vivid image of the items that are placed on the belt and run through the scanner. This is the first upgrade of equipment at the courthouse since it was mandated in 2006 that the Sheriff’s Department be responsible for security there. Abbett said that the See X-RAY, Page A5

needed as it helps us direct how funds will be spent over the next five years especially when it comes to facilities.” The board reappointed board member Michael Carter to the committee. Windle asked the board to approve the placement of maintenance supervisor Dwayne Johnson on the salary matrix as a supervisor with less than nine years experience. “When we hired him, we gave him five years experience based on what he had done, like many in the career tech center,” Windle said. “We hired him two years ago and this gives him seven years experience.” Carter wanted to make sure remarks of the savings in the last two years would be added to the documentation for this. The board approved the move on the matrix with board president Martin Johnson abstaining from the vote as Dwayne Johnson is his brother. Windle pointed to an enclosure in the packet detailing the reorganization of the central office and the duties of its staff members. The biggest change was bringing in Casey Davis whose responsibilities as director of student services include establishing and maintaining a Tallapoosa
County Facebook page and Twitter account, maintaining the system’s web page, supervising student testing and assessments, textbook coordinator, system safety coordinator, charter school coordinator, community relations, education, and accreditation. Davis addressed the board as the how affective the Facebook page has been in just a few days. “We took the Facebook page live Wednesday and by Saturday we had 475 likes,” Davis said. “We put up the lunchroom menus and it seems to have been received well. People like the instant notification. We are providing some of the same information just in a different format.” “I think it is great,” board member Randy Anderson said. “We will be able to share and spread the positive news in our system.” The digital effort is part of the theme for the system this year. “Our theme this year is ‘Building Relationships in a Digital World,’” Windle said. “Written and verbal communication is becoming a lost art. This digital world revolves around texting and phones. That is the world the students are in.” Windle said that

Facebook and Twitter are some of the ways that the system is trying to communicate with students and others about what is going on in the system. Windle gave the board an update on the first day of school and enrollment. “It was as smooth of start as you could ask for,” Windle said. “Normally you will have at least a small transportation problem and we did not have that.” Windle told the board that enrollment was up to 2,878 students system wide and that they have at least 15 to 20 more to enroll and that he sees potential in enrollment in blended learning. “With blended learning we can have students taking courses online,” Windle said. “That could help us with enrollment. We should be able to do that when we get our e-rate money and can build out the infrastructure.” Current enrollment at Reeltown is 834, at Horseshoe Bend 804, at Councill Middle School 251, at Dadeville High School 406 and at Dadeville Elementary School 580. Windle informed the board that about 125 students would be travelling to Montgomery Wednesday to visit the state house and capitol as part the building citi-

Even the best plans can’t account for everything
GOP finding “S its not so rosy
-S-Siri, please get me directions for Vina, Alabama,”
A
re we missing something? After 136 years in Alabama’s legislative wilderness, the state’s Republican party finally achieved a much-sought-after majority in the legislature in 2010. Then, in 2014, Gov. Robert Bentley was re-elected with more than 60 percent of the vote, the first time a Republican had ever been elected governor in Alabama by such a margin. Meanwhile the Republican majority in Alabama grew to a supermajority. Holders of all major state offices wore – still wear – elephants on their lapels. Things in Montgomery appeared ripe for a blissful co-existence between the Statehouse and the Governor’s Mansion. But all the while there was a state general fund crisis bubbling underneath the surface that has turned the Republican dreamland into a nightmare. And turned the party on itself. Whether you agree with his plan or not, you have to admire Bentley for putting forth a plan to address Alabama’s funding shortfall for legislative consideration. Albeit made up largely of tax increases, which state Republicans have staunchly declared anathema to the legislative process. Bentley’s plan was to shore up the general fund into the future. Currently, legislators are prepping for a second special session in which, at best, they are touting funding state essentials at current levels, with the exception of prison reform. So what happened on Alabama’s road to Republican governmental bliss? It’s too easy to blame the general fund train wreck on the Tea Party, though it certainly was sitting near the locomotive. The Tea Party is merely a symptom – as is the early success of Donald Trump’s presidential bid – of America’s newfound belief that stubbornness born of political belief trumps compromise, regardless whether what or who we believe in means a state fiscal calamity or the demeaning of an entire sex or race. More and more we have retreated to our corners. More and more we refuse to come out unless we have our way. As evidenced by the regular and special sessions of the legislature, the corners are growing cold and lonely. Perhaps soon we will value again the art of compromise and political warmth.

I said. “Do what?” She replied. Siri was perplexed by my request and it had nothing to do with my stutter. Once she figured things out, I was good to go— or so I thought. It was a four-hour drive, much of it through Bama country. I’d planned on being there a half-hour early and even factored in traffic delays in Birmingham. Thanks to puppy kisses from Ruby, my two year old chocolate lab, I woke up at 4 a.m. It was going to be a long day. Vina is located in the northwest corner of Alabama. Siri gave me the option of taking Highway 280 to Birmingham or taking I-85 to Montgomery and then merging onto I-65. Since 280 has more traffic lights than there are 2016 Republican presidential candidates, I chose to take the interstate. Distance-wise, it was a little further, but time-wise, it was about the same, without all the stopping. I did, however, stop to grab a sausage and biscuit in Chilton County. It was good, but they could have thrown in a peach or something. Birmingham is always a hassle, but it was especially
JODY FULLER Columnist
challenging this particular morning. I got caught up in bumper-to-bumper, stopand-go traffic on at least three different occasions. It was reminiscent of the traffic on the four-lane in Opelika around shift change at the mill back when I was growing up, only I never heard the mill horn blast in Birmingham. I was scheduled to speak at 10 a.m. at the inservice for the faculty of the Franklin County School System at Vina High School. I’m a stickler for punctuality but was cutting it close. As I passed through Birmingham, my estimated time of arrival was 9:59. I had a long way to go and a short time to get there. I was northwest-bound and down. I made up some time, and in spite of the torrential downpour, I was destined to make it to Vina with a few minutes to spare. I called and left a voicemail with the assistant superintendent to let him know that I would indeed be there on time. He returned the call
around 9:40 but due to a lack of service at Vina High School, he hadn’t heard my message. On a side note, I bet most educators would love to have a lack of service at their respective schools. I’m sure it would make teaching easier. Once I arrived in Vina, Siri told me to take a left turn, and I immediately started hearing banjoes. Something was wrong. It didn’t take long for me to turn around to right Siri’s wrong. In a matter of minutes, I was pulling into Vina High School with eight minutes to spare. One gentleman actually moved his car so that I could park right up front. I spoke at five inservices around the state last week. I met a lot of good people and, although I enjoyed them all immensely, Vina topped the list. The best things in life don’t always come easy. Challenges will arise. If you want to accomplish your goal, you simply have to suck it up and drive on. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

Letters to the Editor
Trump conjures up memories of Russell’s Eugene Gwaltney Dear Editor, The current presidential campaign has sparked as much interest as I have seen in many years. One of the most visible and controversial figures in the campaign is Donald Trump. He has emerged as the leading contender for the Republican nomination. Although I have some reservations about his “bull in the china shop” style, I am in awe of Trump’s ability without a teleprompter to call attention to critical issues and capture the emotion of much of the nation’s discontent. It struck me today that Trump reminds me of another icon in my past. As a former CEO of Russell Corp., Eugene Gwaltney could have served as a model for the leading presidential contender. Gwaltney was a plain spoken and truthful man whose genius grew Russell Corporation into a Fortune 500 company. He was a no bull, shoot from the hip, unscripted, hands-on CEO who understood the textile industry like none I have ever known. He was feared by many because of his colorful language, notorious temper and intolerance of poor performance, but those who knew him well understood his incredible focus on getting the job done. He hated waste and idleness
and truly appreciated hard work and devotion to the job. He was result driven and was not particularly interested in ceremony. He just wanted to “get the job done and done right.” He held himself to the highest standards and expected those around him to do the same. The worst day in the history of Alex City, in my opinion, was the day he retired from Russell Corp. That is the moment when our town began its decline. I know I am prejudiced, because I held him in such high regard. I know that there are some of you who were victims of his bluntness, but most likely many of you older, long-term residents will agree with me. While we have had well meaning CEO’s since “Mr. Gene”, none could live up to his genius, his focus on success, his devotion to hard work, and his cut-to-the chase style. It seems to me we need the same no bull type of leadership in the White House that we once had in the Main Office at Russell. I don’t know if Donald Trump is that man, but I think “Mr. Gene” serves as an excellent role model. I just wish we could bring him back. Billy Sellers Alexander City

courthouse has many as 8,500 visitors each month. On busy days, the old equipment has made it impossible to move the mass of people quickly and it often made the front door a bottleneck. “When you have the number of visitors that we do here, you want the facility to be as secure as possible,” Abbett said. “Our guys do a great job, but there was only so much you could do with that machine. We are thankful to have this and very appreciative of the grant that made it possible.” The equipment was put into service on Aug. 3.
“tremendous asset to Tallapoosa County and one of the best revenue commissioner we’ve ever had.” Eva Middlebrooks who will take over the position Oct. 1 said that she knows Harris will be a tough act to follow. “I have some very big shoes to fill,” Middlebrooks said, She has been a wonderful boss and a great teacher. I am going to miss her.” Harris gave thanks to all who she has worked with while on the job. “It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve the people of Tallapoosa County,” Harris said. “I love the county and I have been blessed to work with some incredible people. My husband said he knows I will be looking for any excuse I can find to drive to Dadeville and stop by the courthouse. He’s probably right. I will miss you all so much.” The commissioners also approved a move that will allow the Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance to deed land in the Thweatt Industrial Park to Alabama Motor and Pump Service so that they can build their own building and stay in Dadeville. LMAEDA Director Don McClellan said that the move will keep jobs in the area and make room for possible expansion. “We have 1,200 jobs in the industrial park now and there are a lot of people who never thought that could be done,” McClellan said. “As important as bringing new business in, we have to do things to encourage the existing businesses we have to stay and grow. This will do just that.” The supplier of industrial motors had been renting space and will now build their own building on the five-

problem.” Beck explained how the transfer of the property might work. “It is fairly common practice for governments to transfer property amongst themselves,” Beck said. “The way it works is for the county or some other local agency to provide the land. We establish a building authority for the project. DHR makes lease payments to cover the bonds to build the building.” Foster and the rest of the council were eager to get the project started to keep DHR in Dadeville. “We don’t want to lose it,” Foster said.

plus acre site. In old business, the commissioners heard a presentation on the fees charged for electrical inspections as well as the issues that were being raised about the guidelines requiring fences around the pool. Monday, the commissioners moved to allow for a $25 inspection fee to be charged each time an inspector is called out. In the past, the department was having situations where an individual was doing their own electrical work and inspectors were often having to inspect several times before the job would pass. This will help cover the cost of all the trips. While pool fences will still be required, the commissioners voted to allow a resident to sign a waiver accepting all responsibility and relieving the county from any liability. In other action: • Steve Robinson was elected chairman and John McKelvey will serve as vice-chairman. The new terms will begin Sept. 1. The commissioners rotate the roles about every nine months. T.C. Coley is currently serving as chairman. • The commissioners approved the reappointment of Tommy Bramblett, Jane Milton and Mary Louise Wyckoff to the Tallapoosa County Department of Human Services Board. • Approved the employment contract for County Engineer David Moore. • County Administrator Blake Beck updated the commissioners and those in attendance on progress on the budget process. • Heard an announcement that the Tallapoosa County Courthouse will be closed Sept. 7 for Labor Day.

Council woman resigns from Jackson’s Gap City Council By Cliff Williams Record Staff Writer
Jackson’s Gap will be starting the process of selecting a new council member after 12-year veteran member Felecia Edwards resigned effective immediately at Tuesday night’s meeting. “I will be resigning tonight from my position of City Council,” Felecia Edwards said. “(I am resigning) due to being treated as if I am dishonest in attending training classes. I am the only certified municipal official in town with over 40 hours and have attended a graduation. The mayor has been in office over 15 years and has only 11 hours of training and denies my continuing education. Therefore I feel that I have been discriminated against based on my gender and color and will be resigning tonight. It has been a pleasure serving the town.”
Jackson’s Gap mayor Jeff Walker explained his side of the issue following the meeting. “Two council members asked for training,” Walker said. “The paperwork for training was never turned in. I was never given that. The town set up hotel and per diem checks were cut. To sign that check, I need proof the training happened. I was never given that. I am embarrassed by what happened in the meeting.” Walker said that the council will look at the process for replacing Edwards at the next meeting. The issue also presented itself earlier in the meeting when the council approved to pay the bills as Edwards and Dana Ford declined approval to pay the bills. The council was still able to pay the bills with a 4 to 2 vote. The council discussed the issue of business licenses and how many have avoided paying for the licens-
es. “We are getting a lot of people who are not buying licenses and have not for years,” Walker said. “We need to either look into getting a police officer certified to enforce it or hire a part time person. We do not have the funds for a full time person.” The council tabled the issue to next meeting to give the mayor time to talk to the police department about the possibly of them taking on the issue. The council also: approved the minutes from the last meeting. discussed ways to lower the power bill at town hall. heard briefly from the fire chief and police chief. The next meeting of the Jackson’s Gap City Council is at Sept 8 at 6:30 p.m.
Man dies after heart event on Lake Martin By Mitch Sneed Record Editor
A 61-year-old Calera man died Sunday afternoon after becoming distressed while swimming in a cove on Lake Martin. Tallapoosa County Deputy Coroner Ken Cowart said that James Michael Harrell was pronounced dead at 3:35 p.m. after being rushed to Lake Martin Community Hospital. Harrell was with his wife and two friends in a remote cove in an area south of Young’s Island, between DARE Park and Smith Mountain. Witnesses said he had been swimming when he began to struggle in the water. The friends managed to get him close to shore and tried to revive him. Boaters came to his aid and tried to resuscitate the man using CPR. Sydney Sneed, one of the boaters who came to Harrell’s aid, described the struggle to help to
bring him back. “They were struggling just to keep him out of the water and said they had been trying to revive him for about 10 minutes when we came into the cove,” Sneed said. “I swam over and started compressions. The pulse would come and go. We tried and tried, but I knew we had to get him to the boat so we could get him some help.” Other boaters including Virgil Roberts arrived and with everyone working together, they managed to get Harrell onto a boat and then rushed him to DARE Park where emergency personnel met them and transported him to Lake Martin Community Hospital. Despite the efforts of sheriff’s deputies, paramedics and others, Harrell was pronounced dead at about 4 p.m. Cowart said all signs point to a massive heart
attack. “We feel like that was what it was, but they will do some tests just to make sure,” Cowart said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, especially in a case where so many people tried so hard to save him like that.” Tragedy on Lake Martin is not a new thing to the Harrell Family. On June 28, 2013, the Harrell’s lost their 30-year-old son Henry Adam Harrell when a personal watercraft he was driving struck a dock on Sturdivant Creek in the Lake Hill Estates area of Lake Martin, just north of the U.S. Highway 280 bridge off the Tallapoosa River. Harrell is survived by his wife Daphne, his son Heath Harrell (Hillary) of Deatsville and numerous others. More details will be released as they become available.

SHUTDOWN CORNER
All-State corner Hicks makes opponents pay for underestimating him
Robert Hudson / The Record
After landing on the All-State team in 2014, Dadeville senior cornerback Isaiah Hicks is hoping to repeat that performance in 2015 and lead the Tigers to even bigger things on the gridiron.
By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor
When opposing quarterbacks walk up to the line of scrimmage against Dadeville this season, they might notice the 5’7” Isaiah Hicks at the cornerback position and think that’s the guy they’re going to pick on all game long. And that’s exactly what Hicks wants. In 2014, Hicks made his opponents pay for underestimating him, as he finished second team All-State for Class 4A as a cornerback, totaling 40 tackles, four passes defended and three interceptions. “They underestimate me because I’m short and stuff,” Hicks said with a laugh. “But that’s why I work a lot on my jumping and stuff, so I can get my vertical up and compete with the taller receivers.” Not going after Hicks is a lesson opponents learned the hard way last season. While he may be one of the Tigers’ smallest players in stature, he is one of the biggest playmakers around. Along with his All-State performance last season at cornerback, Hicks returned a kickoff for a touchdown and caught 10 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns from the wide receiver spot. Hicks said it is the drive to win that
helps him give his all on both sides of the ball. “To play both ways, you’ve got to have determination, you’ve got to be in shape,” Hicks said. “So you have to put extra work in because you’re going to have to go both ways in the game until the game is over.” As one of the best cover corners in Class 4A, Hicks is confident in his abilities as a member of a talented secondary at Dadeville. “I feel like I’m the No. 1 corner and the best corner out here,” Hicks said. “My game is like Vernon Hargreaves at Florida. That’s how I feel when I’m on the field. I feel like I can lock down on my side of the field.” And what pushes him to be his best is his family and the memory of his father. “What motivates me is my momma and my dad because he passed when I was 4,” Hicks said. “So, that’s what motivates me to go hard on the field and to just try and grind.” Entering his senior season, Hicks has taken on a bigger role as a leader for the Tigers. It’s a role he takes great pride in, and he hopes to help lead the Tigers to their biggest goal in 2015. “It’s great to step into a leadership role and to become a senior. I’ve just been working hard and getting some

Reeltown prepping for Childersburg in first week of practices By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor
With a quick turnaround between now and the season opener on Aug. 20, the Reeltown Rebels have opened practices with an immediate focus on their first opponent. Reeltown Coach Jackie O’Neal said the first week of practices have gone well for the Rebels, and that they are doing their best to prepare for the season opener against a Childersburg team that will be different from the one they faced last year. “The first week has gone pretty good. We’ve just been working a lot on the fundamental things that we want to do to get ready for the first ball game,” O’Neal said. “So, we’ve been working on our kicking game and most of our defenses. Childersburg, they say they’re changing their offense, but until you actually see somebody doing something you’re basically having to prepare for what they’ve already done before, which is the spread.” While Childersburg lost many players to graduation much like the Rebels, O’Neal said they will not know for sure what to expect until they take the field on Aug. 20 at Childersburg. “They were hit pretty good by graduation also, so without seeing them in the spring you don’t really have a good feel for their athletes, their speed and size,” O’Neal said. “I’ve read some things where they’re likely going to be a pretty good size this year, but
until we get on the field we really won’t know. It’s going to be one of those games where you’re going in halfway blind, kind of like a pirate where you got a patch on one eye.” O’Neal said he has been particularly proud of his seniors and the leadership they have displayed thus far, and added that the team as a whole has displayed a lot of mental toughness in braving the hot weather of early fall. “I’ve been really pleased with my senior class. The energy level has been great considering the weather,” O’Neal said. “Everybody is kind of a little afraid of that weather because it drains you so fast. We’ve been able to work in short spurts and get the most out of them and then give them a break and come back. They’ve been really mentally tough about it.” O’Neal said the Rebels have looked good in the transition from the summer conditioning program, and added that despite the loss of some 17 players, he is confident in this year’s team. “Our kids have responded real well to the summer program. They’ve come back in pretty good condition,” O’Neal said. “We’ve been able to work at a different speed than we normally work at this time of year because usually they’re sluggish. But we’ve been working at good speed on both sides of the ball. We lost 17 or 18 kids from last year, and really lost more than that because

we had some that couldn’t play, so we have a lot of holes to fill. But we feel good about the kids we’ve got because they’re putting forth the effort we need to put out a winning program.”
ANDY GRAHAM Sports Columnist
Williams, AU need each other T
he big news reverberating from the Loveliest Village these days revolves around Duke Williams. Regrettably, it’s not about a spectacular one-handed touchdown grab or some other impressive feat of athletic ability (as it should be). Rather, it’s about his mysterious absence from practice for what Gus Malzahn labels as “disciplinary issues.” While I’ve heard most of the rumors, I’m not sure anyone in the media or on message boards truly knows the exact nature of his offense. I certainly don’t. I’m not certain I want to know. Gus says he’s handling it and I trust him to do so. It is his job after all. Malzahn said Williams has some things he must do and if he does them he’ll be back. I guess that means it’s up to Duke now. While I can’t say for sure whether Williams will be back or not this season, I’m going to go out on a limb and say he plays against Louisville, but doesn’t start. Just for the sake of argument, though, let’s say Williams doesn’t come back. Auburn has some very talented receivers in its arsenal that I believe can be very effective. As I have said many times, I’m a big believer in Jeremy Johnson and I think he’s going to make everyone around him better. That includes the receiving corps. Auburn hasn’t had a 1,000 yard receiver since 1999, but I believe that will happen this season even without Duke Williams. I’m expecting a couple of breakout stars from among Melvin Ray, Tony Stevens, Myron Burton, Stanton Truitt and Marcus Davis. Having said all that, Duke Williams is one of the best receivers in all of college football and he is, without question, the most talented receiver on the Auburn roster. He’s a rare combination of size and speed with incredibly dependable hands. As they say, he’s open even when he’s covered. I think back to last year in the Kansas State game. The Tigers struggled most of the night offensively. Yet, when they faced a must-have third-down with the game on the line, they went to Duke Williams and got the first down. He also draws double teams which allow other receivers to get open. In other words, he cannot simply be replaced. Auburn can make up a lot of the difference with younger players stepping up, but losing a top-tier NFL draft pick would be a significant setback. While I don’t have any inside information, I truly believe Williams will be back in an Auburn uniform by game one. He might not start, but he’s going to play for the Tigers this year. There’s just too much at stake for him not to play. NFL scouts believe Williams is one of the best receivers in college football. If he goes out this year and plays well, he’s a guaranteed firstround draft pick and millionaire to boot. Duke is smart enough to realize that troublemakers fall precipitously in the draft (unless they’re a quarterback). Auburn is universally considered to be a top 10 team going into the season with dreams of an SEC and national championship. Williams is a big piece of the puzzle. Auburn needs him and he needs Auburn. Maybe his ego has gone into overdrive. Maybe he doesn’t get along with his teammates. Maybe his teammates love him and he just made a stupid mistake. It doesn’t matter. He’ll do what Gus asks him to do and he’ll be back. There’s far too much on the line for Duke and Auburn not to kiss and makeup…at least for the next five months.

AFLAC’s roots run deep in Alabama
T
here is a very iconic company founded in Alabama that has made state, southern, national and international history. It is an Aflac, one of the greatest success stories in American business lore. Although it is headquartered on Alabama’s border in Columbus, Georgia, we in Alabama claim it as our own because its origins are in Coffee County. Indeed, Alabama has always had the highest number of policyholders per capita within the tremendous Aflac clientele base. Growing up in Alabama it seemed that everyone I knew owned an American Family Life Cancer policy. From the beginning of the company they had a reputation for paying their claims like Roscoe. Their remarkable reputation for paying claims instantly and without reservation spread by word of mouth throughout the state and region. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising, even if you have an iconic duck. Aflac truly enjoyed a stellar reputation in the Heart of Dixie. That reputation of superlative claim service still prevails with the company. I saw this legendary claim service first hand when my mother was diagnosed with cancer. She had numerous American Family Cancer policies. A lady named Maggie Allen had sold everybody in Pike County a policy or two. It seemed like my mother received a check a day for years without ever filling out a claim form. Aflac was founded 60 years ago in Enterprise. The founding fathers were three brothers with the last name of Amos.
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist
The oldest brother, John Amos, formed the insurance company in 1955. He was a lawyer and a visionary. He is responsible for expanding the company and turning it into the major insurer in Japan. Bill Amos was the middle brother. He was the nuts and bolts inside man. He was the operations guy who knew how to keep company costs down even while growing exponentially. Paul Amos was the younger brother. Paul was the salesman. He pioneered a unique selling technique. While most insurers sold policies individually, Paul improvised the idea of cluster selling at worksites. Instead of making presentations to individuals, the Aflac sales representatives went to companies and made sales pitches to groups of employees. Today most of Aflac’s United States policies are bought through payroll deductions. In 1964, the company changed their official name to the American Family Life Assurance Company and in 1969 it adopted the acronym Aflac. A few years later they went to one of the top advertising agencies in New York to make a significant national ad buy. They came up with the duck that quacks the word “Aflac.” It has become the company’s famous and humorous symbol. It has made Aflac one of the best known insurance compa-
nies in the world, if not the best known. Paul Amos started his career as the sales manager for Alabama. Aflac has continued this practice of making an Amos the director of sales for Alabama and the panhandle of Florida. It has become a tradition that an Amos ancestor will eventually rise to the top of the ladder at the company. However, their first job is as a salesman in Alabama. Paul Amos passed away last year at 88. His son, Dan Amos, is Aflac’s chairman and CEO. Dan Amos has been at the helm of Aflac for over two decades. He has overseen remarkable growth and profitability. He has moved Aflac into a worldwide leader in the insurance industry. Aflac today has grown into a giant that insures more than 50 million people and has $121 billion in assets. It has 185,000 agents nationwide. That is not bad for a trio of good old farreaching and big-thinking Alabama boys. Even as big as John Amos dreamed, it is doubtful that even he could have imagined the magnitude of what he and his brothers, Bill and Paul, started 60 years ago in Enterprise. If the Amos brothers were alive today, they would be proud of their company and also proud that an Amos still runs their company – quite admirably by the way. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist. His weekly column on Alabama politics appears in over 60 Alabama newspapers. He may be reached at www. steveflowers.us.
