Terms of endearment Nabors does his job for free and wants to keep doing it Editor’s note: This is the second of a three-part question-and-answer series with Alexander City Mayor Jim Nabors. By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

Toney Hanson, left, shakes hands with retired Col. Robert Stone. They were reunited recently after not seeing each other for about 18 years. Hanson helped rescue Stone, also pictured below, when he was shot down in North Vietnam in 1967.

ormer Air Force Col. Robert Stone said he thought he had “died and gone ne to heaven” the day he was given his first combat mission as a fighter pilot during the Vietnam War. On his 61st bombing mission over North Vietnam, he nearly died when anti-aircraft bullets riddled the sleek F-105 Thunderchief jet hee was flying and he bailed out deep in enemy territory. The Navy man who plucked him out of the jungle and saved d his life recently visited the retired colonel in Alexander City. Toney Hanson, now 78 and a retired senior chief petty officer, hoisted a seriously wounded Stone from the jungle. “About halfway through my dive-bombing run at a very See LIFESAVER • Page 6

For the record, Alexander City Mayor Jim Nabors believes in term limits. “Depends on who it is,” he laughingly said, “but I do.” Even a limit on himself? “I’d say two terms,” Nabors said. “But if you’ve got a good one, you’d love to keep them, so it works both ways. But I think we would get rid of this doing what gets me reelected stuff. You would really dedicate yourself to the city.” There are no term limits for mayors and councilmembers in Alabama, of course, and most would not question the dedication of Nabors, who doesn’t take a penny of the mayor’s salary. But lately he has been a piñata for those who don’t want to see Alex City’s municipal government spend $9 million to leave downtown and consolidate all its functions in the former Russell Sales Office. Seeing that become a reality would make it worth running again in 2020, which Nabors, now 76, wants to do. If reelected, he would be 81 when his second term ends. “If my doctor gives me the green light, I will,” he said of running again. “I hope I can. I have been energized by making some progress and getting involved in moving forward with the (Russell) sales office. That’s something that needed to be done.” And in this second part of a question-and-answer series with Nabors, the mayor said something else needs to be done to make progress — taking politics out of the daily conduct of Alex City governmental affairs, and managing situations professionally and with decorum. “If it’s the right thing to do,” he said, “do it.”

Q. You don’t take a salary as mayor. What is the salary?

A. $60,000. Well, it’s more than that because the fringes are like 30 percent, so it’s $78,000 or $80,000. I don’t have a car; the previous mayor See NABORS • Page 9

The Outlook

Mom drags her feet pursuing romance with longtime friend DEAR ABBY: My dad died when I was young. He and Mom had a beautiful marriage. Mom was in a long relationship following his death and has been single for three years now. She has been spending lots of time with a family friend who lost his wife some time ago. They have known each other for years, even when Dad was alive. She goes over to his place for romantic dinners, they talk on the phone at least once a day, and he helps her with anything she needs around the house. He goes above and beyond to show her he’s interested in her without actually saying those words, and he has told her she needs to take him more seriously when he invites her on trips because she laughs it off. Mom flip-flops between being interested and being convinced he doesn’t want a serious relationship. Everyone around

DEAR ABBY Advice

her thinks she’s crazy not to give it a try. I don’t know how much I can push her. I haven’t seen her this happy in years. I think she’s scared and nervous, and I also think she’ll regret it if she keeps rejecting his overtures. I think the ball is in her court now. I need help convincing her to pursue this. What can I do? -HOPEFUL DAUGHTER IN CANADA DEAR HOPEFUL: Tell your mother it’s time to stop laughing and have a serious conversation with this man. Their relationship stands no chance of progressing further if she isn’t willing to allow it. DEAR ABBY: My fian-

ce has a female friend he has known since they were 15 years old. She’s always in the way, and he always makes excuses for anything she does wrong. The most frequent excuses are, “She was there when nobody else was there,” or, “She’s the only one who would have my back.” OK, I get it. But that was years ago, and I have constantly reminded him that I have his back now and she can step aside. But he says he’s loyal to his friends, and he will never abandon her or any of them. As much as I love my fiance and want to be his wife, I can’t accept this person in our lives. Abby, I really need your advice. Should I give his ring back, or should I keep quiet and let her continue to invade our relationship? -DEPRESSED FIANCEE IN MICHIGAN DEAR FIANCEE: Try this. Tell your fiance that you would like the two of

you to have premarital counseling to be sure you are on the same page regarding issues that “might” come up after your marriage. Couples usually have this kind of counseling to facilitate discussions about important subjects such as how their finances will be managed, whether they agree on how to raise children, etc. During one of those sessions, you should raise the subject of his old friend “who is constantly in the way” and let the counselor/mediator guide you through the discussion. And if you can’t come to a mutual agreement, you should THEN return the ring.

Alex City power rates s n a F The expected to stay steady ! u o Y r a e H By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

Small Space Advertising Works!

Call the Advertising Dept. 256.234.4281

Residents and businesses in Alexander City should continue to see stable power bills after the city council voted Dec. 17 to renew its contract with the Alabama Municipal Electric Authority, which hasn’t had a rate increase since 2012 and plans to drop its rates by 2026. The AMEA is an electric co-operative serving 11 municipalities and has been requesting its members to extend their contract from 2035 to 2045. AMEA chief executive officer Fred Clark told the council the co-op is planning cost reductions in 2026. Mayor Jim Nabors said the AMEA provides lower rates than Alabama Power, although it buys power from Alabama Power and other suppliers. “We sell power cheaper than Alabama Power,” Nabors said. “We’ve got customers, one side of the street is Alabama Power, one is the city, and our service and rates are lower than Alabama Power. It makes a difference. “The anticipated rates are headed

down as well. If we can get a 20 percent or more reduction in power coming in 2026, that will make (Alabama Power) get more serious about lowering their rates.” Clark also said a small solar research facility located at Dadeville Road and Comer Street is supplying a minor amount of power to Alexander City’s grid but could lead to a much bigger plant. “Right now it’s 160 panels (producing) 50 kilowatts,” he said. “Every citizen receives a small portion of (solar power). It’s not very economical but it shows innovation on your part and it could lead to a contract for a 1,000-acre solar facility.” Nabors said residents are being well served by the city and the AMEA. “When we have a storm that comes through and the power is down … we’ll get our service back up long before (Alabama Power) does,” he said. “It’s all about service. That’s what a city does. You have a city in charge because it’s the most productive way of getting things done.” The council also: • Approved adopting a series of

people in the community.” Powell established Bob’s Fine Food in 1979, although Carter said the building he turned into the restaurant initially housed a small gift shop, also owned and operated by Powell. She also said he coached a women’s softball team in a city league in the 1970s and early 1980s, which he enjoyed. After selling Bob’s Fine Food to Michael Carter in 1990, Carter said Powell went on to start a restaurant in Reeltown, Bob and Betty’s, which turned into a major success before he sold it. Windy Carter said her father had three different restaurants throughout Tallapoosa County during his lifetime, as well as the Tiger One-Stop in Dadeville. Not only did Michael and Windy Carter describe Powell as a good businessman, but they also said he

City community development coordinator Al Jones said it would cost $5,700 and is already in the budget. • Awarded a bid up to $178,129 to Custom Truck and Body Works of Woodbury, Georgia, for a firedepartment ambulance. • Awarded a bid up to $35,880 to Stryker Sale Corp. for a power load cot faster for the ambulance.

was the kind of father and fatherin-law anyone would be proud to have. “He was always right there for me when I wanted him and when I needed him,” Windy Carter said. “He was the best dad in the world.” Michael Carter added, “I have nothing but good things to say about him. He was a good man, a good husband, a good father and a good family man.” While both of the Carters said they will miss Powell, Windy Carter said she knows he is in a better place. “We know he’s not suffering anymore,” she said. Michael Carter said, “There won’t be a day that goes by we won’t be thinking of him and remember a story about him. It’s a space we won’t ever fill.”

“Dreams are extremely important. You can’t do it unless you imagine it.” —George Lucas

Men who deserve our salute

n today’s edition of The Outlook, we begin a three-part series about Alexander City’s Robert Stone, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel who recently reunited with Toney Hanson, the man who saved his life in the jungles of North Vietnam after being shot down in 1967. Stone was on a bombing mission to destroy what he had been told was a makeshift, undefended bridge crossing a stream. It was well-defended. After being hit, Stone couldn’t land in the jungle so he had to bail out, a dreadful circumstance because he had never been fired out of a jet by an ejection seat and was warned he would likely be injured in the maneuver, which was made at 700 mph. “It was like someone had put a cannon under me and fired it,” Stone said. “I had a broken left femur, a dislocated shoulder, internal injuries. I was pretty well beat up.” Stone’s parachute got fouled in trees 40 feet above the ground but it turned out to be a blessing because his wingman called in a Navy rescue squad, which used the parachute to help find Stone. The prop wash from the helicopter blew Stone out of the trees and onto the ground, where his injuries multiplied. But with enemy gunfire and patrols nearby, Hanson dropped down to the jungle floor, found Stone and pulled him to safety. Stone and Hanson are genuine American heroes who served their country with honor and distinction. All these years later, Hanson, 78, who is suffering from dementia, came from his Mississippi home to visit Stone, who will soon be 86. They both wanted to keep the memory of their special bond alive. “I’m going to try to remember this,” Hanson remarked. We should all remember and salute such brave men and women in our military. We commend this three-part series for your consideration.

Many great men left us in 2018

s is my custom at the close of the year, I like to memorialize great Alabamians who have appeared and lived legendary lives upon the stage of political history in the Heart of Dixie. This year we have had some real legends. I have expanded the geographical limits outside of Alabama to include two of the greatest men in American history — America’s greatest preacher and one of the nation’s great presidents passed away. One of my favorite men I ever had the privilege to know, Mr. John “Bubba” Trotman, died in February at age 93. Mr. Bubba was born and raised in Troy but spent his entire life in Montgomery. He was the best-known cattle farmer in Alabama and served a stint as president of the National Cattleman’s Association. Bubba played football at Auburn and loved the Loveliest Village on the Plains. Trotman epitomized a true Southern gentleman. My mama grew up with Bubba in Troy and they graduated high school together. One day I told mama Bubba was one of the finest gentlemen I had ever met and she said he was just that way growing up in Troy. A lot of people in Montgomery loved Bubba but a lot of people in Troy did too. Billy Graham died in February at the age of 99 at his beloved mountain home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. He was probably the greatest preacher in American history. He was America’s preacher. Speaking of great preachers, Dr. John Ed

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist Mathison, the legendary Methodist minister in Montgomery, did not pass away this year but he made his mark as one of the greatest preachers in Alabama history. Mathison gave a masterful eulogy for his friend, Milton McGregor, who passed away in March at age 79. McGregor had a lot of friends throughout the state. He was born and raised in Hartford, and spent his early adult life in the Wiregrass. Alabama lost one of its greatest entrepreneurs and charitable benefactors when Milton passed away. He created thousands of jobs and generated hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes for Macon County and the state. There are untold stories of people he helped who were down on their luck. He used his personal jet to transport people he did not even know to hospitals all over the country for medical care more than he used it for himself. He and his wife, Pat, donated millions to charitable organizations as well as their church, Frazer United Methodist in Montgomery. McGregor was the ultimate family man. He was devoted to his wife, to whom he was married for 50 years. He loved their two daughters, Cindy and Kim, better than life itself. He was an intensely loyal friend to those he called his friends. Congressman

John Buchanan Jr. of Birmingham passed away in March at age 89. He was one of Alabama’s and Jefferson County’s first Republican Congressman, having been elected in the 1964 Goldwater Republican landslide in the state. His father was the longtime pastor of the legendary, prominent Southside Baptist Church. His congregation included most of the city’s wealthiest and most powerful businessmen. It was where Liberty National Life founder Frank Samford went to church along with his friends and associates. Samford University was built with Liberty National money. C.C. “Bo” Torbert passed away in June at age 88 in his beloved Lee County. He served eight years in the Alabama House and served two four-year terms in the Alabama Senate. He was elected chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court in 1976 and was chief justice for 12 years. He was a great Alabama leader and a gentleman. Our 41st president, George H.W. Bush, who was in the White House from 1989 to 1993, passed away at the age of 94 in Houston on Dec. 1. Bush was a true statesman and gentleman. He served his country in the U.S. Navy during World War II and later as a Congressman, U.S. ambassador, our CIA director and vice president. Steve Flowers’ weekly column appears in more than 60 Alabama newspapers. He served 16 years in the legislature and may be reached at www. steveflowers.us.

high speed, the sky just lit up,” Stone recalled of the 1967 incident. “It was a flak battery in there, a triple-A battery we didn’t know about. I could see the tracers coming up and I took two hits. I took the hits back in the fuselage area. The cockpit filled with smoke, my controls locked up and I had to bail out.” These days, Stone and his wife Dell live a tranquil life in a comfortable, spacious home with a panoramic view of Lake Martin. If it’s not heaven, it’s certainly a heavenly existence. They both turn 86 in January and have been married for 65 years. It would have been much less if not for Hanson. Stone suffered a broken leg, a dislocated shoulder and serious internal injuries in the incident. And the enemy was closing in on him. That was a far cry from his childhood in Mobile, where he met his future wife in the fifth grade. Stone said he joined the Air Force in 1951 at 18. They married after he finished flight training and was awarded his aviator badge, better known as pilot wings. According to Stone, he soloed in a Piper Super Cub in 1953. His goal all along was to fly a fighter jet in combat. He quickly mastered the prop planes and transitioned to the Thunderchief, known by fighter pilots and their crew as the “Thud.” Stone quickly rose in rank as he mastered

new aircraft. He was 33 years old and flying a Thunderchief when he volunteered for duty in Vietnam. It was 1966. He and Dell had three children and she was not as excited about Maj. Stone’s deployment to Vietnam as he was. He later was promoted to colonel. “It was shock to all of us, including Dell,” Stone said. “I set them up in Mobile. Her parents were in Mobile and my mother was in Mobile, so I put her in a house in Mobile.” Stone said of his assignment to Vietnam as a fighter pilot, “I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. That’s what you train for your whole career. You are happy about that.” But at the same time, Stone said he was anxious because it was his first experience flying combat missions. Stone said he and his fellow pilots flew out of Thailand and into North Vietnam. “I remember my first mission over Hanoi; that got my attention because of the flak,” he said. “It was just boom, boom, boom. We were flying through it the whole time. For the bombing, we would be going through it at 18,000 to 19,000 feet. … It was a real education because, man, it was heavily defended, real heavily defended.” Besides flak guns, Hanoi and the surrounding countryside was defended by surface-to-air missiles (SAMS). Stone recalled one scary, close call.

“It was like someone had put a cannon under me and fired it. I had a broken left femur, a dislocated shoulder, internal injuries. I was pretty well beat up.” — Col. Robert Stone “We were en route to Hanoi,” he said. “They had them set up all over the place. If you could see it (coming up after launch), it was like a big telephone pole. It usually tried to get in front of you and the standard procedure was as soon as you caught sight of it, was go into a steep dive and then pull up sharply to dodge it.” Stone said his Thunderchief’s payload included six, 750pound bombs. Even though the Thuds were equipped with air-to-air missiles, the colonel said he never got into a dogfight with enemy planes. Pilots were required to fly 100 combat missions before they were allowed to return to the U.S., Stone

pointed out. The colonel’s luck ran out on his 61st mission. Stone and his wingman, also piloting a Thud, were about 100 miles south of Hanoi. It was early in the day and they had been assigned what was supposed to be an easy mission. Stone said their main target was a makeshift crossing over a stream along the Ho Chi Minh trail. En route to the crossing, they took out trucks hidden beneath the thick jungle canopy. “It was supposed to be undefended,” Stone recalled. “When I got to the North Vietnam border, I dropped down to treetop level. We followed the road to see if there were any trucks under the trees or whatever and we would

strafe along there. “When we got to the target, I pulled up to bombing altitude. For that kind of target, it was about 10,000 feet. I had my wingman go in first and I pulled around 90 degrees so I would not go down the same path.” After being hit, Stone had no choice but to bail out over thick jungle. Stone said he jumped out of airplanes before but had never been catapulted from an ejection seat and had been warned if he did he would sustain injuries. “It was like someone had put a cannon under me and fired it,” he said. “I had a broken left femur, a dislocated shoulder, internal injuries. I was pretty well beat up.” Stone said he was traveling close to 700 mph, landed in a tree and got hung up 40 feet off the ground. His injuries got worse when he hit the ground and, to make matters worse, U.S. aircraft had to drop napalm to keep enemy soldiers from shooting Stone. “I got my little survival radio out and I could hear that a Navy rescue operation was en route to try to find me and get me out of there,” he said. “When the rescue operation got there, the helicopter came over the top of where I was and blew me out of the tree. When I hit the ground, my compound fracture pushed up into my abdomen and I was in really bad shape. “When you are in shock, you don’t feel pain, and I was in shock and just about bled to death. The helicopter came over and I could

hear some guys (enemy) shooting at us from the ground, and once in a while you could hear them talking, yelling. “They had the A-1s (friendly aircraft) loaded with napalm, so they got between me and the bad guys shooting at us and dropped napalm. Well, that temporarily stopped them.” Stone said he went down in a thick jungle area. The Navy helicopter sent to his rescue hovered over a clearing in the jungle. That’s when his savior, Hanson, pulled him off the ground to safety. “They found a small clearing, and Toney came down on the hoist and found me,” Stone said. “It was 30 to 40 minutes before I was rescued. Time had no meaning because I was passing in and out. I would pass out, wake up. When he saw my leg all tangled, he put the leg together and wrapped it with Para cord and grabbed me by the back of the parachute (harness) and drug me to a small clearing. “The underbrush was over his head and he was 6 foot something,” Stone said. “But he could hold his hand up and they (the rescue helicopter crew) could see it, and they dropped the boom down, the hoist down to him. He didn’t try to get me hooked up, he just set me down on the hoist. He is a big, old, strong boy and he grabbed me and they took us out of there.” Part 2: Stone’s wife saw Toney Hanson talk to Walter Cronkite about rescuing her husband during the nightly CBS Evening News.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You are full of surprises, which delights many people. Important conversations need to occur early in the day. A more jovial, Ă&#x2026;exible attitude marks the dialogue. Clear out a must-do project in the afternoon. Accept someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help. Tonight: Wind down from recent events. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll wake up willing to do whatever you must to make a long-term wish a reality. Sharing your vision with a friend or family member could be awkward or diÉ&#x2030;cult. Try to keep an open mind. Your sense of organization kicks in. Tonight: The world is your oyster. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might choose not to reveal the whole story regarding an important tie, as you could feel awkward discussing your feelings. You have a lot to share but you are not ready to be embarrassed or judged when it comes to your feelings. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Zero in on what you want, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow yourself down by providing too many explanations. Curb careless spending. You will have to deal with the reality of your budget sooner or later. Tonight: A loved one does everything she or he can to make you happy. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be far more stubborn than usual. Relax with a changing situation, and try not to make a judgment call yet. You might be exhausted by a demanding loved one who suddenly seems to need more of your time. Focus your creativity elsewhere. Tonight: Out late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You seek to take the high road and understand what is happening with those around you. Let go of a need to complete certain tasks for about an hour or so. A discussion with a close associate will reveal how much he or she cares about you. Tonight: Create some fun! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Deal with someone directly to work through a misunderstanding. Be careful, as this person might be diÉ&#x2030;cult. A solution is possible, but only if he or she can open up. How many times do you have to go through this same scenario? Tonight: Where there is good music. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be exhausted by someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confrontational style, even though you generally are resilient. Perhaps this person triggers a bad memory without you realizing it. Let your imagination emerge and Ă&#x201E;nd a more soothing path. Tonight: Go for something naughty. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might be less lighthearted than you have been in a while. Ask yourself what needs to happen to make a situation work better. Express more of your thought process with those involved with the matter at hand. Wherever you are, people surround you Tonight: Catch some zzzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take news with a grain of salt. You have a tendency to be too serious at times. Ask questions, and put yourself in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shoes. This process also will help you better understand a loved one. Tonight: Give up being so serious if you want to have some fun. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) An early morning oÉ&#x2C6;er makes you smile and helps you let go of the recent frantic pace. One-on-one relating to a close loved one could punctuate your day. What you do might not be as important as being together. Indulge each other a little. Tonight: Favorite food at a favorite place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You have done more than your share to make the holidays work. Why not indulge in a day for you and a very special person in your life? The activity or your plans have very little to do with the quality of your day. Just spending time together is enough. Tonight: Where people are.

did. I have not filed an expense report since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here. I pay for most of the lunches we have.

A. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so stupid. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m head of the Benjamin Russell Foundation. We distributed $900,000 this month. I manage a $20 million foundation. I do the investment for it. What does that have to do with lining my pockets? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m chairman of the Russell hospital and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get paid for that either. I gave a $40,000 scholarship when my wife died. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what the Russells have given back and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still giving. Ben has a foundation. The one I run is the grandfather and grandmother of the current Ben Russell. Ben has one. He gives to Main Street (Alexander City) just like I did. I gave $25,000 to Main Street. (The Russell Foundation) has given away $36 million.

A. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in a secret environment most of my life in the corporate world, participating in acquisitions, mergers, selling yourself, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really emotional. When you spend a week in New York City trying to convince somebody to buy you and you leave there, going to the airport and realizing what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just done â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you eliminated your job â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough.

Q. Is there something you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get done in 2018 that you wish you could have or think you could get done in 2019?

A. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made as much progress as we could getting our arms around all of the financial information. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measure it, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a better understanding of that personally and everybody else. People trust me, I trust them. That helps a lot. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give me credit for knowing how to ask the right question. If we have a problem, we always close it with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what did we learn?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Make them go back and see what they should have done differently. Make them think about it. That normally just cools everything down. We have a

problem, we fixed it, now what do we do to keep it from happening again?

Q. Are there some mistakes made the first two years youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been mayor that have been corrected?

A. Customer service, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I constantly try to work on. Every employee is a diplomat for the city. It involves a policeman who is polite, a fireman who is helpful.

Q. What things need to be done in the city that have not been done here before?

A. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to depoliticize everything we do. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right thing to do, do it. I need to improve the work ethic. Some people may have the same job description, one works harder than the other, the one that works harder complains, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not paid enough because I do more than the other guy.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; That needs to be eliminated. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measure it, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage it. Productivity is a measurement of what most people do. How much did I get done today?

STATE HONORS Reeltown earns 3 all-state spots STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

eeltown’s football team was certainly pleased Sunday when the Alabama Sports Writers Association All-State teams were released. The Rebels earned three spots. Chandler Gray led the way with a selection to the Class 2A first team as a defensive lineman. Reeltown coach Matt Johnson called Gray an overall team leader who “has a motor that never stops.” Gray racked up a staggering 15 sacks in just 11 games this season. He finished with 75 total tackles, including 56 solos and four for a loss. He also forced three fumbles. Earning a spot on the second team was defensive lineman Lio Lewis. Despite an injury near the end of the season, Lewis still had 70 tackles, including six for a loss and 10 sacks. He had one forced fumble. Keke Hughley, who returned this year after a season-ending injury in 2017, was named an honorable mention as an athlete. Hughley played in multiple positions this season. Offensively, he finished with 850 yards on just 80 carries and scored 12 touchdowns. He also moved into the linebacker position after an injury to brother Tre Tre Hughley. On special teams, Keke Hughley returned six kickoffs for 91 yards.

Ivey awards grants for programs to help low-income residents STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Gov. Kay Ivey awarded $3.1 million in grants for programs to help lowincome residents take steps to secure gainful employment and improve their quality of life. The Community Services Block Grants will enable 20 communityaction agencies throughout the state to help low-income residents achieve self-sufficiency and address barriers to success. Available programs include jobsearch assistance and short-term employment skills classes, parenting classes, transitional housing, summer youth programs, financial literacy programs and emergency food and shelter. “Community action agencies offer services that support low-income families as they work to create a more stable foundation for a successful life,” Ivey said. “I commend these agencies for their work toward reducing poverty and helping families in need.” Residents seeking assistance should contact their local community action agency. Full contact information for each agency can be found at www. caaalabama.org/agency-list.php. The Community Action Committee serving Tallapoosa and Coosa counties is located at 170 South Broadnax Street in Dadeville. The phone number is 256825-4287.
