No foul play suspected Police investigate fire and death in Dadeville

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

No foul play is suspected after a Dadeville resident was found in a home damaged by fire on Christmas Eve, Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour said.

According to Barbour, Jerrod Lee Colt Payne, 32, was found at 9:10 a.m. Monday morning in the home on Agricola Road.

“There had been a fire in the residence,” Barbour said. “It was contained to the living room area of the Agricola Road home and was out when the deceased was found.”

Barbour said the State Fire Marshal’s Office is assisting in the investigation because the fatality might be associated with a fire. The Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department is also assisting.

Barbour said Payne’s body was sent to the Department of Forensic Sciences in Montgomery to determine the cause of death.

Even though authorities are trying to determine the cause of death, Barbour said nothing suspicious is expected.

“I don’t think there is any foul play,” Barbour said.

According to pastor Carl Stokes and several other witnesses, the men cursed him and one threatened to return another day and kill everyone there.

Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said he and the city council are continuing to make progress, which includes reasonable annexation, improved infrastructure and taking better advantage of the city’s proximity to Lake Martin.

While New Site is a small community in Tallapoosa County, Mayor Phil Blasingame believes there is much for his town to be proud of.

Since being elected in 2016, Blasingame and the New Site Town Council have been hard at work to accomplish much for the town’s residents, such as giving them the amenities they need so they don’t have to drive out of town but also maintaining the town’s atmosphere.

During a recent question-and-answer session with The Record, Blasingame said he feels New Site is moving in the right direction.

Q. Looking back on 2018, what are you proudest of accomplishing as a mayor and council and what didn’t you do that should have been done?

A. One of the things I’m most proud of was our senior center. That was something I wanted to implement when I ran for mayor. I’m proud of how it has taken off and been accepted. I felt there was a need for it there. We have a great director and great seniors. I’m very proud we could do that.

She taught her girls that they could be or do anything they wanted in life, but she also made sure to impart to them that humility was one of the best assets to strive for in life.

She was always coming up with unique ideas and ways to do things inventing the Smuckers Peanut Butter and Jelly jars well before Smuckers did. She could throw a mean softball, round up cows if needed, and she found multiple uses for everyday items. She could do electrical and plumbing repairs, and she also made the best fried chicken, best chocolate chip cookies and most incredible sweet tea around.

Volunteering for the Red Cross and as a chaperone on band trips kept her busy when she was younger and watching after the grandchildren entertained her when she was older. The grandchildren were treated to Rice Krispie treats for breakfast (they were

cereal she said), and she indulged them by playing dress up or any other games they wanted.

She enjoyed traveling to visit her daughters when they lived in Scotland, California, Hawaii, and elsewhere, and was always there to lend a helping hand after each grandchild’s birth. The world was a better place for all when she was around, and heaven gained one of the best angels in her passing.

She will celebrate her arrival in Heaven with her husband who preceded her, Hugh Owen, and parents, Hassell and Bebe Abernathy. We will continue to celebrate her life and legacy.

She is survived by numerous family members and friends.

Mrs. Patricia was a devoted wife to her “Baby� Roy Richardson. She was a sweet, kind, smart woman who will be remembered by many for her willingness to help others and her beautiful smile. In the early 90’s, she and Roy moved to Stillwaters and she quickly became an invaluable resident. She served as the Stillwaters manager for the last developer Baptist Foundation of Arizona and was a strong advocate for the residents during this adverse time. Her

expertise from serving the residents of Tallapoosa County in the tax appraiser’s office for over 20 years aided her in serving on the SWRA as a board member.

Another ‘this-could-be-it moment’

Training wheels A are coming off

F

or four years now, the Gibraltar Lodge has given bicycles to area children for Christmas. This year, they added toys too.

A long line of people showed up at the Cooper Community Center this week to see the true spirit of giving demonstrated.

Hopefully, the kids will recall it when they grow up and remember to be just as selfless.

“I feel real good about it,” lodge member David Wyckoff said. “Part of our job is to give back to the community, to serve the community. It’s for parents who can’t afford the bikes. It’s giving back.”

The Gilbraltar Lodge planned to give 125 bicycles to children, Wyckoff said.

Those children were thrilled.

For some, it was their first bike.

One man who visited has a daughter who is bedridden, so he picked out two bikes, one for his grandson and one for his granddaughter.

Public officials donated bikes, including Tallapoosa County Commissioner Thomas Coley Jr. and Alexander City Councilperson Buffy Colvin.

“If you aren’t doing anything for the less fortunate, you are not doing what the good book tells us to do — help each other,” Colvin said.

All of us can recall the excitement we felt when we got our first bike, even the ones with training wheels. Finally, after a lot of falling down, the training wheels came off and we had our first taste of independence.

The nobility of charity and of self-reliance may seem to be opposing ideas but the Gibraltar Lodge is teaching both and for that The Record commends all those involved. Children are learning how sweet it is to give and how sweet it is to set your own course and go as far as you can peddle on your own. The training wheels are coming off.

s I drove toward Lighthouse Baptist Church Sunday morning, I had one of my thiscould-be-it moments.

During my 30 years as a newspaper writer/photographer I’ve had numerous such moments. In other words, could this be the time I’m killed or badly injured?

Dec. 19, during the church’s Wednesday night service, witnesses said two men barged into the small church in rural Tallapoosa County, one cursed pastor Carl Stokes then threatened to return another day and kill everyone. More than a dozen children were in the church practicing for their Christmas play.

Witnesses said at least three loud gunshots were heard before the men entered. One was about 30 years old and the other about 60. The witnesses said the older man accused the pastor of taking legal action that could send one of his family members to prison.

On the way to the church, I was well aware of the numerous church and school massacres during the past two years. Of course, I hoped nothing would happen but I’ll admit I was a little uneasy as I drove toward the church in the Buttston community. Uneasy is not as bad as scared stiff.

My plan was to arrive at least 30 minutes before the church’s regular service began at 11 a.m. I missed a turn as

JIMMY WIGFIELD MANAGING EDITOR (256) 414-3179

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.

Q. What are the top longterm projects for the city over the next 10 years?

A. Annexation and continuing to improve our infrastructure.

We have improved our water, sewer and gas, and we need to keep going. I would like to get another industry to come to town, as well as seeing more commercial development. We’re Q. What are your top goals also working hard to revitalize for the city in 2019 and explain the courthouse square. why.

Q. What things need to A. My top goal is to have be done in the city that have a balanced budget again. We never been done before? need to grow and improve A. I want us to revitalize parks and rec. We would like to downtown. We’ve got a lot to improve city services. We need offer here in town. During the to take better advantage of the Christmas parade, I got a lot of lake. I want us to proceed on comments about the museum, getting the new fire department people saying how nice it was (building). We are always and people who didn’t even looking for new businesses in know it was there. town. These are things we’ve been working on and we’re just Q. Which parts of the going to keep going on them. budget need to be increased providing them fire protection and limb pickup. However, we don’t want to overgrow. I would like to see our schools to continue to improve too. I would like to have more things going on in downtown Dadeville, things like a spring fling, similar to the fall festival we already have.

Powell didn’t have any hidden agenda. He was a goodhearted person with a great love of people, the community and his family.�

Windy Carter, Michael Carter’s wife and Powell’s daughter, added, “He was a loving husband and father. He was funny.

He really enjoyed being a salesman and engaging with 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

and which parts need to be cut?

A. I’m not sure we have room for cutting back. We would like to continue improving city services and doing more there.

More revenue begets more city services.

I feel that we’re very diligent with our taxpayers’ money. We are always looking out for the future.

Q. What are the chances of executing these plans? Good or bad, and why?

A. I think there is an excellent chance. The reason I mentioned these is because they are things we want to do and things we’re gonna do. We set makeable goals. We want to grow at a good rate.

Q. Do you believe in term limits for the mayor and council? Why or why not?

A. I don’t believe in term

limits. At the local level, if you’re satisfying the people, they’re more likely to vote for you. So, no, I don’t believe in them.

Q. What are the most significant questions you hear from your constituents?

A. ‘When are we getting another grocery store?’ That comes up every day. Also, d-og-s. I tell people you have the right to protect your property.

I think we may have turned the corner on litter, since that one isn’t as frequent. I also have people ask about the traffic light at the intersection of LaFayette and Broadnax. That’s an issue we are going to have to address.

Q. What does the city government do well and what could it do better?

A. I think we work well and we work progressively. We are all moving in the same direction

— onward and upward. You may never be satisfied with the job you’re doing but as long as you’re doing the best job you can, good things can happen.

Q. If you could change anything about Dadeville, what would it be?

A. I don’t know that I’d change anything. I like our small-town life. That’s what draws people here. We know we’ve got to have growth. I love our way of living.

Public Meetings continued from page A1

Stop in Dadeville.

Not only did Michael and Windy Carter describe Powell as a good businessman, but they also said he was the kind of father and father-in-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.�

but we’re working toward it. It will provide a valuable service to our town and it will be a revenue generator for us, which will help spur on other things.

It’s taken a lot of hard work but it’s a team effort. The community is extremely excited for it.

Hopefully, 2019 will see us break ground on it.

I’m proud of our water improvement project. We really needed that. Work will begin on it in 2019 and it will be very beneficial for us in that department.

We applied for a grant for our senior citizen center this year. We didn’t get that awarded to us this year but we will reapply for it in the spring. It’s a very competitive grant.

Q. What is your personal vision for where the town should be in 10 years?

A. I don’t want us to lose our niche. We provide our citizens a quiet and peaceful place to raise a family.

If you’re not moving forward, you’re moving

backward. I don’t want us to move backward. I feel there will be some population growth.

We have to have some housing options for our residents, all while maintaining a quiet and peaceful style of life. We must have plans for the future to stay ahead of the curve.

Q. What are your top goals for the town in 2019 and explain why.

A. First off, I want to get the clinic and pharmacy up and operational.

Second, I want us to keep working with Cazadores (a Mexican restaurant preparing to open in town) and continue looking for other business opportunities. This includes looking for an auto parts store. I want us to be able to complete the upgrades to our town water system. Along with that, I want us to try and define two areas for us to extend our water system into. I want us to set a timeline and look at increasing our city’s water service.

I want us to continue to be financially responsible. We need to live within our means and not do too much too fast. We will take advantage of opportunities like grants to help in this regard.

All of those goals would continue to improve the quality of life for the citizens of our community and make others want to move to town. It all works together. I don’t want us to move backward.

Q. What are the top long-term projects for the town over the next 10 years?

A. I want us to maintain what we’ve got and stay abreast of new opportunities, like new industry chances.

We always have to sell ourselves. I want us to make sure our community is vibrant in the next 10 years.

We have to be open to opportunities but not move backwards in the process. We always have to pay attention to our school system and help support it.

By far, it’s our biggest

asset. We have got great teachers and great administrators, and we need to make sure we support that. We want to make sure our residents have the opportunities to lead a good, quality life here.

Q. What things need to be done in town that have never been done before?

A. One thing we’ve never done is we’ve never had a dedicated area for residents to relocate, like a subdivision. We need an area that’s been developed with homes.

It’s never had an opportunity to be there before. We have to help encourage developers to come here and develop.

We have got to promote ourselves. The demand for housing is there but there is an inadequate supply. We want growth in the right way.

Q. Which parts of the budget need to be increased and which parts need to be cut?

A. I feel we’re pretty streamlined. We would like to find an extension

Q. What are the chances of executing these plans? Good or bad, and why?

A. We all know we’ll never get everything on our wish list. Things don’t always go as planned. We have to prioritize our goals and move things around as needed. We have to look at items we haven’t been as successful with and either push them down or set them aside for the time being. If it doesn’t come to fruition, we have to see why, reevaluate everything, and put it on the list and try again next year.

The plans we have, I do feel good about them.

I believe our projects are doable and affordable.

I think we stand a very good chance of achieving many of these things. I’m very satisfied with our project list and success so far.

Some of them are major and some of them are minor. For example, changing the speed limit on Highway 22 in town to make it uniform, that was a fairly minor thing overall but it was a major thing for our residents. We have to look at areas of growth and incorporate those areas well.

Q. Do you believe in term limits for the mayor and council?

Why or why not?

A. For the mayor and council, I don’t believe in term limits. Elections should take care of that.

If you’re doing a good

on the town’s water supply and we need to find a way to be able to afford to do that. Having quality water is almost a necessity nowadays.

We have to find a way to make that affordable.

I also think our senior program needs a bus.

Finding grant or budget money in the future to buy one is key.

We don’t have a lot of frivolous spending, so I’m not sure we see many ways we could cut back. Our expenses have been less than what we’ve budgeted for.

We need to make sure, though, we’ve got a plan and stream of revenue to support our projects.

job, people may be more likely to vote for you. If you’re not, they’ll vote you out. If people come out and pay attention, they’ll vote for the right people. I want people to be interested in being involved. Competition is a good thing. It makes everybody work harder.

Q. What are the most significant questions you hear from your constituents?

A. One is definitely city water, with people asking, ‘Why do we not have it?’ ‘How can I get it?’ That is definitely the No. 1 question I have been asked. It all boils down to money. I used to get, ‘What are you going to do for our seniors?’ a lot.

Q. What does the town government do well and what could it do better?

A. I think the mayor and council, I think we work well together.

We may have different views on certain issues but we come together.

We complement each other very well. We’re all working to do something to improve the community. We never get angry and storm out of meetings. We can always do better and improve on ourselves.

We always need to be conscious, attentive and open-minded. Change can be difficult.

Q. If you could change anything about New Site, what would it be?

A. I really wouldn’t change anything. I would love to see us bring in a small industry for more job opportunities for our residents to help on the employment side, though. I don’t want us to lose sight of who we are.

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

R

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.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be very goal-oriented; nevertheless, you are likely to Ã&#x201E;nd yourself on a wild goose chase at some point in the day. You might not even know how you got there.

Do not be concerned. Simply continue on your desired path. Tonight: Be willing to adapt your plans.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Although others might have diÉ&#x2030;culty during the day and feel confused, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll understand what is happening. Focus on your goals. You are in an unusually creative period. Work with some of your unusual ideas.

Tonight: Act as though there is no tomorrow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Whether an issue slows you down, you feel that you do not have the energy or the time that you need. Clear up the problem. Your imagination allows you to come up with unique and exciting ideas. Try to start conversations without bias.

Tonight: Make it easy and relaxing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) When the opportunity appears, speak your mind. Holding oÉ&#x2C6; might not be wise because your irritation levels will mount. Confusion surrounds potential trips or happenings. Try to be clear about what you think and feel. If needed, ask questions. Tonight: Speak your mind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Make sure that you are on the same page as another person, especially if dealing with funds. You might not appreciate the upset otherwise.

Confusion marks a conversation.

If needed, get clariÃ&#x201E;cation. You are more in tune than you believe you are. Tonight: Fun does not have to cost.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you Ã&#x201E;nd yourself in a disagreement with an associate, try to clarify what you mean. You could discover that your expectations were oÉ&#x2C6; or that you were not seeing the other person realistically. You are likely to become surer of your choices.

Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) If you feel a little oÉ&#x2C6; after all the excitement of the holidays, do not be surprised. Clarify a conversation regarding upcoming plans. Another person might hear your words but interpret them diÉ&#x2C6;erently. A family member poses an obstacle of some sort. Tonight: Hang in there.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you let someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s misconceptions get the best of you, you could feel out of sorts. A friend could be responding to you inappropriately. You will feel much better later in the day, when the initial haze of a problem disappears. Tonight: Meet the gang at a favorite place.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) When dealing with your Ã&#x201E;nances, use your self-discipline and knowledge. If your budget is out of whack, take steps to change the scenario.

You still might want to do something special for a loved one. Just compensate elsewhere for the expense.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Look at the long-term implications of continuing as you have been. If you do not like what you are seeing, an adjustment might be in order.

Confusion could surround a trip.

Recognize that you have time for clariÃ&#x201E;cation. Tonight: If you want to take oÉ&#x2C6;, make it happen.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) A conversation could be noteworthy.

Listen to where the other party is coming from. Use caution around Ã&#x201E;nances. You might think that you have a verbal agreement, only to discover that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Go along with a suggestion, even if it means changing plans. Tonight: Paint the town red.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) If possible, curb spending. You might be taken aback by everything that is happening around you. Clearly, you cannot change people or situations, but you can change your perspective. Approach others with a positive attitude. Tonight: First, balance your budget.

The Dadeville Record

Kelly gains valuable experience at mentored hunt

By DAVID RAINER Department of Conservation and Natural Resources

John Kelly decided he needed an early Christmas present after enjoying an Adult Mentored Hunt at the Alabama Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division’s Portland Landing Special Opportunity Area (SOA) near Camden.

Kelly, an electrical engineer who works in the defense industry in the Huntsville area, said the experience at the mentored hunt inspired a desire to continue his hunting career. He just ordered a crossbow.

“I’ve been trying to learn how to hunt this year,” Kelly said. “I was on the outdooralabama.com website, just looking at hunting regulations, and I lucked onto a link about the mentored hunts. I thought, ‘Perfect.’ I had looked at websites and read books about hunting. There is only so much you can read.”

Kelly has family who own farms, but nobody in his family is considered a hunter. After his grandfather passed away, he started exploring the farm where his parents and grandmother live.

“There are these great wild spaces where I’ve never even wandered around or appreciated that much,” he said. “I’m just trying to connect with nature.”

Instead of going on a hiking trip and only observing nature, Kelly wanted to interact with nature, become a part of the cycle.

“When I got the email that I had gotten drawn, I was bouncing off the walls,” he said. “It was great. When I got there, I was expecting to get some educational stuff, like how to shoot, hunt and some demonstrations on how to field-dress a deer.

That was the stuff I expected even though it was better than I thought it was going to be. But I think the thing I didn’t expect was how much I would connect with everybody there. I was expecting kind of an outdoor class, but I got really more of an emotional experience that I hadn’t expected at all. I really connected with the instructors and other mentees. It was very unexpected how close you can get to people by spending a couple of days in the woods with them, and just how open, warm and nice the people who were volunteering their time were. They were so incredibly welcoming and happy to have us there.

“It wasn’t like the campcounselor vibe where the counselor says, ‘Welcome to Camp Idon’twanna. Over here we have the archery range.’

They were the nicest, warmest people. They were treating us like family. And we were so happy that they wanted us there. It was beyond my wildest expectations.”

Kelly, 32, showed up at Portland with no experience with rifles either.

“I’d never shot a rifle before, unless you count video games or virtual reality,” Kelly said.

“It was loud and fun. It was definitely less intimidating than I expected. I hadn’t been around them before, so I wasn’t super comfortable. But after spending a day on the range with the instructors, I said, ‘Oh, these are fine.’”

In total, Kelly fired the rifle nine times and discovered he became sufficiently proficient on the rifle range.

“I shot eight times on the range, and the ninth shot went straight through the heart of a doe,” he said.

Kelly said the prequel to the

Submitted / The Record

shot at the doe was enlightening as well with the quiet stalk into the woods to the blind, the watching and listening to nature unfold and spying the animals that inhabit the Alabama forests.

“You think, okay, it’s just an animal, like a squirrel at the park,” he said. “All of a sudden, these deer, like ghosts, appeared silently in front of you. You can feel your heart rate pick up. It was surprisingly exciting to see them show up.

“When I actually got ready for the shot, I got calm and focused and took care of business. Everything else, like sitting there watching nature, watching the birds feed and listening to my instructor tell me about the wildlife and plants, that was such a fantastic experience.”

Because of his lack of hunting experience, Kelly wasn’t positive he had hit the doe where he wanted. But they quickly picked up the blood trail and didn’t have to go far to find the deer.

“When I saw the deer lying 10 yards in the woods, it was more of a relief than anything else,” he said. “I was afraid I might have just injured it. To find it quickly was a very nice feeling. Now I understand that feeling, thinking about future hunts, that I want to make a clean shot or no shot. I understand a lot better now why people say that.”

With the doe retrieved and back at the lodge, the instructors went through the fielddress procedures and how to skin and quarter the deer.

“I came home with a cooler full of deer and wild boar,” Kelly said. “We decided to butcher it ourselves. It took three solid afternoons to finish

butchering that deer and boar. I watched a YouTube video and this guy does an entire deer in 20 minutes. It took me a lot longer, but we got it.”

Kelly then shared his bounty with his family just across the Alabama line in Tennessee.

“We went to my parents’ house and grilled venison tenderloin,” he said. “Then we cooked a pot roast. My mom showed me her recipe for pot roast. I put in the venison and we cooked it and I got to serve it to them. That was an unexpected, awesome feeling to be able to serve the thing I’d had a hand in harvesting. It was hands-on all the way from field to table.”

As Kelly put on his Facebook page, “I finally understand how Granny felt all those times she would fix us a meal and tell us ‘these beans are from the garden’ or ‘this squash is from the garden’ or ‘this beef was raised here on this farm.’ It really is just a totally different feeling!”

Kelly wasn’t sure how his family, which also included an aunt and an uncle, would react to the venison.

“My parents told me they were prepared to grit their teeth and smile and say, ‘Oh, it’s delicious,’” Kelly said. “But it was a hit all the way around.

They asked for seconds. I got good instruction on how to preserve and prepare it too. Plus, it was a tender doe. My family was pleasantly surprised at how delicious the venison was.”

Kelly’s experience is exactly what Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries had in mind when it established the Adult Mentored Hunting Program.

Working for the U.S. Army, Kelly said his main job is to “go out in the desert and blow stuff up and do all kinds of cool things.”

His leisure time, however, will include more deer hunting.

His Army credentials allow him to hunt Redstone Arsenal near Huntsville, which is one of the areas he plans to explore.

Kelly and his hunting part-

ner, Dianna Valdez, are already figuring out where their next hunt will occur. Valdez took some of the wild hog and prepared it for her family.

Because of the weapon restrictions at the Arsenal (archery and shotgun only), Kelly opted to purchase the crossbow to continue his deer hunting.

“I can hunt the Arsenal, and I’ve been looking up information on the WMAs (Wildlife Management Areas) and public land near me,” he said. “Yeah, we’re already planning where we can go next. I’m hooked.”
