Police, playground or pipeworks? Dadeville juggles spending priorities, chooses squad cars By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Reporter After continued discussion of a new playground and upgraded water system Tuesday, the Dadeville City Council voted to purchase two new police vehicles out of its $253,000 remaining American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds. The $120,000 purchase of two Dodge Durango SUVs, fully equipped for police use, was approved unanimously despite
some debate over spending priorities. The Dadeville Police Department had already budgeted three new cars out of its regular funds, but the vehicles were not yet equipped and wouldn’t go into service for months; meanwhile, the city’s water board says its current water system is losing the city money, while the playground, razed due to rot, needs replacing. “Oh, so forget about water, but we’re still going to get two more cars,” councilwoman Teneeshia Goodman-
Johnson said, upon hearing the request. Goodman-Johnson ultimately approved the purchase with the understanding the new water system would be approved later in the year. Last month, the water board asked for up to $175,000 of ARP funds for digital water meters. Goodman-Johnson, reporting back from a water board meeting Tuesday, said she hoped the council would

Tallapoosa County Schools rescinds mask mandate By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Reporter Tallapoosa County Schools joins Alexander City Schools in rescinding its mask requirement, effective Tuesday, as COVID-19 cases dwindle county-wide. “With the decreased number of COVID cases, masks will now become optional in the Tallapoosa County school district,” Superintendent Ray Porter said in a statement, adding the school board “will reserve the right to reinstitute mandatory mask requirements should conditions warrant.” The new policy does not apply to buses, where face coverings are still required by federal order on public transportation, including school buses. After rescinding it in November, Tallapoosa County Schools had reinstated its mask mandate in January following a surge in COVID-19 cases during the school system’s winter break.

approve the purchase of new water meters based on what she heard. “That’s what it was all about — leaks. We’re losing water, losing money,” she said. Councilman Roy Mathis, however, questioned the ethics of putting it to vote, citing councilman Darryl Heard’s job with the water department and GoodmanJohnson’s position on the board. “That don’t have anything to do with it,” Heard said, to which Mathis replied “Yes it does!” “Well he’s a citizen of Dadeville,” councilwoman Brownie Caldwell said, pointing out they all have a stake in voting matters. Goodman-Johnson said Heard was an employee, not a board member, and does not have decision-making power, but was willing to forgo her own vote. “I don’t have a problem not voting because I’m going to hope — I’m going to hope — that this council votes the right way and does what’s best for the citizens,” she said. “It’s not about the water-sewer board. It’s about the citizens.” City attorney Robin Reynolds said he would contact the ethics commission and report back at the next council meeting, scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 22 at 5:30 p.m. No further decisions were made on the water meters. The Dadeville City Council also went into a 20-minute executive session before adjourning to discuss “someone’s good name and character,” GoodmanJohnson said. Caldwell made the formal motion.

CACC students’ research lands in peer-reviewed medical journal STAFF REPORT TPI Staff Students at Central Alabama Community College (CACC) recently conducted a research study on saline jet nebulization, a breathing treatment prescribed by medical professionals for a variety of respiratory illnesses. The results of the project, aimed at understanding how much medicine a patient receives during a typical breathing treatment, were published last week in the Canadian Journal of Respiratory Therapy. “The fact that five students were published in a scholarly journal is beyond exceptional,” CACC chemistry instructor and project leader Jeremy M. Carr said. “Very few undergrads ever get this experience.” The project began in 2018 when Carr’s newborn son, James, required frequent saline nebulization breathing treatments. At the time, no one in the medical field knew how much saline mist James was inhaling. To find an answer, Carr enlisted some of his chemistry students to use their laboratory training. The resulting team — Martin Flores, Taz Caldwell and Kalysa Passmore — crowdsourced materials and supplies through social media. Eventually, the team connected with Kaylen Thomas of Encompass Health Corporation, who supplied them with nebulizer equipment. “Anything we can do to assist in educational opportunities to aid in the development of the future workforce is a benefit to us all,” Thomas said. Carr said Thomas’ contribution was enormous. “With tight budgets, nebulizers are hard to come by,” he said. “We could not have
done this project without her help.” The nebulizer team met every Friday for two semesters in the CACC chemistry laboratory. After months of data collection, the team’s results indicated that they could reliably predict how much saline mist a patient received during a typical breathing treatment. This information was not yet known to medicine, so they opted to publish their findings as a peer-reviewed research paper. “The nebulizer research project gave me first-hand experience in great undergraduate research,” said Caldwell, who has since graduated. “It showed me what research is, and how we as scientists use it to find answers to questions about the world. This is where I earned my lab coat!” With the science down, Carr said, the group reached out to medical professionals for advice on how it could be applied. Carr enlisted two CACC alumni, Russell Medical Center registered respiratory therapist Megan Denney, and his wife, Neurology Consultants of Montgomery nurse practitioner and CACC adjunct instructor Kerri Carr. “I loved their research,” Denney said. “I was so flattered that they asked for my opinion on the results. I helped with editing and made suggestions about how medical professionals could use the information.” With her child James, Kerri was involved from the beginning. “We came into this therapy with our child who required saline nebulization due to complex medical disorders, and it was a privilege to be able to add to the scientific body of knowledge about a therapy for which I have personally seen benefit patients,” she said.
According to Carr, the reaction has been highly supportive. “Most researchers expected this work to be done by graduate school scientists, not community college students,” he said. “I’m hoping that it will help elevate these students’ resumes and perhaps open doors to exciting careers.” All five students have since graduated from CACC and are either working in the field or continuing their education. Kerri Carr and Denney both work in healthcare in central Alabama. Passmore is completing her mechanical engineering degree at The University of Alabama. Flores is an Auburn University undergraduate fellow applicant in chemical engineering research, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in chemistry. Caldwell graduated from Auburn and is now a Ph.D. candidate in computer science at The University of Mississippi. CACC president Jeff Lynn hailed the accomplishment. “Coaching a group of students to solve scientific problems at the community college level is an outstanding feat and a testament to how CACC is trying to meet the needs of our community while serving our students,” he said. “I’m very proud of their work, and I know it will help propel their careers.” As for the future of this project, Carr said there’s still plenty to do. “I can think of five to six new, related studies that I’m eager to complete now that we’ve reached this achievement,” he said. “There are also a handful of grants that I’m interested in pursuing. But I can’t do it alone; I need a new group of students to help collect data and make more new discoveries about this popular medical technology.”

By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Reporter Firefighters successfully prevented a fire from spreading to New Hope Baptist Church Monday afternoon, one of several recent brush fires amid a spate of drier weather. The Alexander City Fire Department, as well as Willow Point and Our Town volunteer firefighters, responded to the scene. The brush fire was contained to a small peninsula on Lake Martin off State Highway 63, where the church and cemetery are located. A shedsized structure and one of three wooden crosses facing Lake Martin were destroyed in the fire; the church itself remains unharmed. The brushfire was the second that afternoon for Alexander City Fire Department; meanwhile, prescribed burns have been taking place across Alabama, including at Wind Creek State Park Monday morning, to reduce the risk of wildfire on state land.

Broadband expansion is on the way By BETH CHAPMAN Last week the Alabama Senate passed three bills sponsored by Sen. Clay Scofield, the Senate Majority Leader. The legislation allows the expansion of broadband access across our state. This is much needed news for many in Alabama - especially in our rural areas and for our small businesses and school-aged children. For too many years there has been a digital divide in our state, and now relief is on the way. Approximately one-fifth of Alabama households don’t have access to the internet, and many others don’t have high-speed internet. Sen. Scofield has long been an advocate and championed the need for expanding broadband infrastructure and providing high-speed internet services throughout our state. Scofield chairs The Alabama Digital Expansion Authority. He and his colleagues on the authority recently announced the Alabama Broadband Map. The map displays a detailed account of internet coverage as it exists in Alabama. Obviously, there is much room for coverage improvement. State Rep. Randall Shedd of Fairview will be carrying the legislation in the House of Representatives. Between he and Sen. Scofield, who both live in rural areas of the state, they will get it done. Both legislators have dedicated much time, energy and effort to this cause and are to be commended for their work. There are federal funds we can utilize to expand broadband, and there could be a constitutional amendment on our November ballot if it passes both chambers of the Legislature. If approved by voters, the legislation would allow grants from cities and counties to assist with broadband expansion. Alabama received approximately $1.7 billion from ARPA funds (a pandemic relief bill passed by congress). The Legislature approved the money to be used for the expansion of broadband across the state and for water and sewer projects. Recently the Legislature approved another $277 million of the money allotted to the state from ARPA for broadband expansion. There are also incentives for companies to provide broadband to unserved areas of our state as well. The state will receive another $1 billion in ARPA funding later this year. Sen. Scofield wants 50 percent of that to go toward expanding broadband. Hopefully, all these measures will help our state enter the 21st century — and not a moment too soon.

Significance of Trump Mission endorsements in Alabama races
F
ormer President Donald Trump was a verypopular president with Alabama Republican voters. Trump was a proven conservative president. He walked the walk. He did not just talk the talk. He has a legacy as president, especially in changing the philosophical tilt of the U.S. Supreme Court. He remains popular with GOP primary voters in the Heart of Dixie. Trump continues to stay in the spotlight. He almost feels compelled to endorse candidates for senate and governor in very conservative, southern and Midwest Republican states like Alabama where he still remains popular. Trump has indeed endorsed Congressman Mo Brooks in his quest to fill the seat of retiring U.S. Senator Richard Shelby. Brooks is basing his entire campaign on Trump’s endorsement. Gubernatorial candidate, Lindy Blanchard, who has been a stalwart Trump supporter is hoping for Trump’s blessing in her quest to unseat Governor Kay Ivey. Trump’s endorsement in this race would indeed be important in Ms. Blanchard’s mission. In the senate race, polling by two reputable and independent polling firms indicates that Mo Brooks and Katie Britt are in a dead heat contest each with about 25% with Mike Durant at 18%. Their numbers are not rock solid. Britt has more favorable numbers than Brooks on likeability. The poll indicates that if President Trump continues to be for Brooks, it will help him immensely. If Trump becomes disenchanted with Brooks, he can kiss this race goodbye. Brook’s campaign would simply vanish and sail away. Therefore, the prevailing question is what is the

GEORGE WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY
Did you know that the official name of Presidents Day, which is celebrated yearly on the third Monday in February, is actually “George Washington’s Birthday”? The day began as a day to honor George Washington and now honors all 45 of the American Presidents, current and past. The holiday began in Washington, D.C. in 1879. In 1885, President Arthur made it an official Federal holiday for the entire Country. George Washington was actually born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland, Virginia. He grew up on his father’s plantation. It was once said that as a young man he chopped down one of his father’s cherry trees; when asked by his father if he had committed the act, he replied “Yes, I cannot tell a lie.” Although this story may not have happened, Washington was well-renowned for his good morals and character. He married his wife, Martha, on January 6, 1759. As a young adult, he worked as a land surveyor before DR KIDZ beginning his military career. He commanded the Continental Army through the Revolutionary War, and on April 30, 1789, he took the Oath of Office and was sworn in as the first President of the United States. Known as the “Father of our Country,” many of Washington’s ideals still influence who the United States is as a Country today. President Washington held office for only two terms--from 1789 to 1797. He helped to pick the sight of the White House which has been home to all of the American Presidents, but him. This year we will celebrate Washington and all the Presidents on Monday February 21.

The original version of the Presidential Seal was first created back in 1782 by the then Secretary of Congress, Charles Thomson. Over time, various Presidents made changes to it. In 1945, President Truman made the current design official with an Executive Order. The only changes since then have been to add two additional stars for the States Hawaii and Alaska.

D
o other people know Locally owned. Locally operated. that you are a Christian? Locally loved. Being a Christian is an inward change in our heart when we experience Jesus. A little boy was once taken to the local physician with a bad stomach-ache because he had been eating green apples. When 8091 County Rd. 34 (256) 825-9820 Dadeville, AL he was asked how he knew the apples were green, he replied, “I have inside information.” Each | 21130 Hwy. 431 Wedowee, AL of us should have that inside information about salvation. We New & Used Boats • Yamaha Waverunners Yamaha should know, but how will the Golf Carts • Full-Service Marina & Service Center world know? • Wet Slips & Dry Storage An important part of 256.357.2045 800.780.2045 conversion is repentance, which include a complete turning away from sin. 1 John 3:9 tells us, “one who is born of God does not continue to practice sin.” A Christian will not compromise. A person should conduct themselves as a Christian every day of the week in a Christ-like manner, not just on Sundays. Being away from God’s people and His House does not give us liberty to do things that we would find offensive on Sunday.
RED RIDGE
Satisfaction is a trait of a Christian. A hog wallowing in the mudhole is completely satisfied. But a sheep is not satisfied when he falls into the mud, and he gets out as quickly as possible. Lots of people wallow in sin because it satisfies them. Others fall into sinful situations, and they are miserable and get out as soon as possible. Biblical example: after the flood Noah sent out a raven and a dove. The raven did not return as he enjoyed feeding on the decaying carcasses, etc. The dove was not satisfied with the food he found and returned. Noah knew which was the raven and which was the dove by the things that satisfied them. This is much like church members. If you can be satisfied by the things of the world, you had better re-examine your salvation. Were you worshipping God last Sunday, remember Christ established the Church? What kind of books were you reading, what kind of places did you go, what did you do with your leisure time, or what kind of people did

you associate with? The things that satisfy prove whether you are a Christian or not. Let’s examine our attitude toward others! Do we love as Jesus loved? Show it! Love pities the weak and tries to help the sinful. The Christian loves and forgive the unlovely as well as the lovely. A Christian heart goes out to everyone. Even when Judas betrayed Jesus, Jesus shielded him to the last. None of the other disciples knew what was meant when Jesus said to Judas, “what thou doest, do quickly. They thought perhaps Jesus was sending Judas on an errand. There are too many people who like to reveal something on someone else. But love covers a multitude of sins. The world will know you are a Christian by your attitude toward others. Time has come that we let others see Jesus in each of us!

Russell forward Corri Milliner served as an exclamation point, a statement, a marker of how the once-lowly Wildcats have achieved unimaginable success in a magical 2021-22 campaign. With two seconds remaining, the throwdown set Tuesday’s final score at 88-82 as the Wildcats defeated Chilton County in the sub-regional round of the AHSAA Class
6A state playoffs, advancing to regionals and the state Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008. “It felt good, it felt good,” Milliner said. “It just felt like the last game though. Just another good dunk.” Two years ago Benjamin Russell won just three games. “At the beginning of this

DADEVILLE PUTS MONTGOMERY CATHOLIC ON ICE; ADVANCES TO SWEET 16 By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director

evenge is a dish best served cold, but cold is also an apt way to describe Montgomery Catholic’s offense against Dadeville’s stingy defense Tuesday night. The Tigers beat the team that eliminated them in last year’s playoffs, advancing to this year’s regional round by a 50-44 final on their home floor. “They were the ones that put us out last year, it was in Montgomery for the regional championship game,” Dadeville coach Jesse Foster said. “They beat us, and that’s a good ball club. We’re doing pretty good right now.” Clutch free throws from guards Philstavious Dowdell and Antojuan Woody down the stretch helped ice the victory for Dadeville. The team is now on a 12-game winning streak. The Tigers trailed 34-28 late in the third quarter but managed to surge ahead at the end of that period and the beginning of the fourth, with Woody beaming a ball to forward Jordan Rambo to tie the game as the contest wore on. “The crowd kind of helped us pull it through tonight, got us going,” Foster said. Rambo’s defense stood out more than any other
player’s contributions to Foster. His assignment came against one of the Knights’ best players in Matthew Reardon, and he held the lanky shooting guard to a goose egg on the scoreboard. “[Rambo] did a great job, [Reardon] didn’t score as many points as he usually scores,” Foster said. “Took a lot out of him, playing defense, but that’s what it takes sometimes. You have to sacrifice something for the team and he did a great job of sacrificing for us tonight.” The two sides combined to score just 43 points in the first half, with Dadeville leading 24-19 at intermission. Both teams played stout man-to-man defense roughly 80 percent of the time and mixed in some zone at various points, Foster said, though the Tigers found some success against the latter with their “motion” play. “Both teams played great defense,” Foster said. “We just had some good athletes, some great defense out there tonight. Those were two good ball clubs playing tonight.” With the win, Dadeville advances to the AHSAA Class 3A Sweet 16 at Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery Thursday. The Tigers will take on Opp with a bid in the Elite Eight on the line at 4 p.m. that day.
Tanner Hill qualifies for state championships, Reeltown 16th at super sectionals By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director Reeltown’s wrestling season is mostly finished, though a few highlights were still in store Friday and Saturday at AHSAA Class 1A-4A South Super

Reeltown wrestling competed at the AHSAA Class 1A-4A South Super Sectionals in Montgomery Friday and Saturday.
For all the games run by DeQualon Thomas, Trae Butler or Demarkus Sandlin, a different hero stepped forth to deliver Central Coosa a final needed bucket Tuesday. Guard Jon Kelley layed home a game-winning basket with 7.1 seconds to play against LaFayette, capping a giant second-half comeback from the Cougars and sending them through to the AHSAA Class 2A Southeast Regionals for the first time since their state championship run in 2019. Butler led the team’s scorers with 13 points while Thomas followed close behind at 11. That bucket wouldn’t be the end of Kelley’s contributions. He stole the ensuing inbounds pass and got fouled, and while he missed the front end of the resulting 1-and-1, it ran enough time off the clock to force a hailmary pass downcourt from the Bulldogs. It’s a prayer that went unanswered.
The Cougars trailed by no less than 14 points during the second half of Tuesday’s action, but it was Butler, Kelley and forward Majavius Culpepper that guided them back into the contest as the main scorers during a 14-1 run. Bell expected a slower pace entering play. As much was reflected in the relatively low-scoring 51-50 final. LaFayette featured a trio of upperclassmen forwards all logging in at 6-foot-3 or taller, including the team’s leading scorer Tuesday in Vinay Singh and the 290pound Antavious Woody, who is committed to play offensive line for Florida State’s football team. Sandlin, Culpepper and center Nehemiah Sanders all had plenty to contend with on the inside. With the win, Coosa advances to play Long at Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery with a berth in the state Elite Eight on the line. Long’s record on the year stands at 15-12. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Harsin survives for the moment
A
fter a trying week full of ANDY rumors, invesGRAHAM tigation and angst, Bryan Harsin is still Columnist the head football coach at Auburn University. Outgoing president Jay Gogue said the administration needed to separate “fact from fiction” in response to a turbulent first year under Harsin and some troubling allegations. Apparently, Gogue and company did just that and filed the salacious rumors under the category of fiction. Obviously, any accusation of player mistreatment was also much ado about nothing considering Harsin received the full backing of the administration. That’s not to say Bryan Harsin isn’t difficult to work for and with, because all the turnover on his staff would suggest otherwise. He very well may be cantankerous, but it certainly doesn’t rise to the level of abusive. He may also be hard on the players, but it may also be that a lot of younger players today simply need to develop a little thicker skin. Regardless, the whole ugly ordeal seems to be resolved for See HARSIN, Page B2

year I told you we’d hang a banner up in this gym, and now no one can take it away from you,” Benjamin Russell coach Jeremy Freeman told his team after the victory. Milliner, guard Quez Thompson and guard Chris Foster have been Benjamin Russell’s big three scorers all season, and Tuesday was the trio’s paramount performance to date. Thompson dropped 29 points, Milliner added 25 and Foster tacked on 25 more for a combined total of 79 of the Wildcats’ 88 points. As a team Benjamin Russell had only surpassed 79 points once this season, an 80-point showing against Dadeville. “It’s going to have to be that way from here on out for us to have a chance,” Freeman said. “They’re going to have to put out. And they responded. They’re capable. At this juncture they know what we need to get done to keep going further. The objective is to continue on.” Forward Jakereon Bolding and guard Jakobe Worthy led the way for Chilton County with 24 points in the losing effort. Much like its area championship victory in its previous contest against Stanhope Elmore, a massive third-quarter surge is what proved decisive in sealing the comeback win for Benjamin Russell. Clutching to a 46-43 lead, a laser pass from Foster to guard La’Bronski McKinney set up an easy layup. That coupled with a triple followed by a free-throw line jumper from Thompson established the first seven points of a 17-4 extended run to push the Wildcats’ advantage out to 16. Foster found net for eight of those points, including a James Hardenesque step-back 3 and another triple that was easily taken from beyond the NBA 3-point line. Twelve of his 25 came from four 3-pointers. “I’m a pass-first guard anyway,” Foster said to the friendly laughter of Milliner and Thompson. “It is what it is. But when I’m in it, when I’m in that mode, I just fill it up.” BR’s point-man did record several assists, it should be noted.

That 16-point edge, which held at 13 through the end of the third quarter, didn’t result in a conservative approach from the Wildcats. In fact the fourth period is where they scored the most points, 25 in all. Milliner led the way with 12 in the final eight minutes. “We just want to score, we want to get all our teammates into the game,” Milliner said. “We just try to get them in the game every time.” The Wildcats as a team started frigidly and trailed by 13 points at three different spots in the first quarter, taking 4:10 of gametime to record a made basket. Foster hit a buzzer-beating 3 to cut the Tigers’ lead to 20-12 at the end of the opening period, then kicked off the second with a triple off the dribble from the top of the key to open what became a 13-2 run for his squad. Chilton County never tied or led the game after the second quarter. “When Chris hit that buzzer-beater, I knew we were going to blow them out of the water,” Thompson said. That baby-step start, sprint finish for the squad mimicked Thompson’s individual game. Once the proverbial lid peeled away from the basket it was on. The slick offensive pivot point recorded multiple baskets from outside, mid-range and around the rim. “It’s just been like that all my years playing,” Thompson said. “Once I hit two in-a-row, maybe a layup and a 3, then I just get into that rhythm.” Takeaway-filled defense played a vital role in his team’s success, Freeman noted, with active hands and active feet fueling a gaggle of steals that created transition opportunities for the Wildcats. Benjamin Russell will play in its first regional game with a bid to the state Elite Eight on the line Thursday. There it will meet McGill-Toolen, a team who boasts a 25-4 record on the year. “It’s just good for the community,” Freeman said. “I’m so happy for them to have something to travel to so we can be together. We set out in the early part of the season to go to the regionals, and also to Birmingham [for the state Final Four]. We’ve accomplished one of the two.”
positive way. The real question being is it actually possible to move forward after so much vitriol the moment and hopefully and airing of dirty laundry? Auburn football can move It’s a very pertinent question forward toward Spring in a and I do not know the answer. I’m not sure anyone does, but we’ll find out over the next months and possibly years. Tommy Tuberville survived a coup of sorts at the end of the 2003 season and went on to have an undefeated season in 2004 winning 42 games over the next four years. Of course, it was a different time and a different situation. He had stockpiled tremendous talent and woefully underachieved in 2003. The program was set up to succeed the following year, but the fan base did rally around him and it made a powerful difference. Bryan Harsin’s inherited roster was good, but not near the top of the SEC. Even if the fans and administration unite together, he’ll need to start recruiting at a much higher level and provide some consistency among his staff.

the last week certainly won’t help matters. Bryan Harsin definitely has his work cut out for him. He just received a harsh lesson in the cutthroat world of the Southeastern Conference. I’m not sure we’ll ever know how close Auburn was to actually paying him off, but merely the consideration of shelling out $40 million dollars in the span of three years for two guys not to coach illustrates the insanity of this league and my beloved school in particular. I don’t believe in firing a coach after one season unless there is some legitimate wrongdoing. Harsin is still a young coach and is learning what the SEC is all about. It may turn out to be that he simply cannot get the job done. However, that is a judgment that cannot be honestly reached after one year. Everyone seems to be so worried about the Tigers slipping into obscurity like Tennessee. I would suggest firing a first-year coach or creating an undesirable position by sabotaging and undercutting him is the fastest way to ensure that outcome.

The Dadeville Record
Dadeville girls downed by defending state champion By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director Scrapping to advance in the AHSAA state playoffs on its home floor, Dadeville girls basketball wasn’t going down easy. Unfortunately, there just wasn’t much the Tigers’ athletes could do against Prattville Christian Academy’s machine. Dadeville hosted the defending Class 3A state champions, a team whose only loss in 27 games this season came in its area championship to pit them against the Tigers, and were eliminated by the Panthers in sub-regionals via a 68-27 final Monday. “They have a great team,” Dadeville coach Pam Holloway said. “The girls never gave up, that’s one thing I’m proud of. We didn’t let up, we kept trying to adjust to different things. But for the most part, like I said, they’re a well-

the event and the team finished 16th. For those outside Hill, their 2021-22 campaign has come to a close. “All of our seniors are that [leader], had a great season,” first-year Reeltown coach Josh Taylor said. “Hate it, for some of them, to have it end the way it did in sectionals. But I’m glad they were there for the ride. I’m thankful for their experience and knowledge coming into this season, helping me get through it.” Each of the top four wrestlers in a given weight class advance to the state championships. Hill emerged as the lone Rebel to
rounded team and there’s a lot of things we didn’t do early on.” Prattville Christian junior forward Hannah Jones, a 6-foot menace down low, finished with 31 points to lead the charge for the Panthers. Holloway noted that the shooting presence around her made for an even more unstoppable attack as Prattville Christian’s guards knocked down five 3s. “A good, well-rounded player, especially when you can post up and you can see the floor well and you can kick the ball out to your teammates and you can work in the paint,” Holloway said. “That’s a well-rounded post player. And good skill level as far as around the painted area.” Senior forward Layla Grace led the way for Dadeville in the scoring column with nine points.
land one of those spots in his division. There was no dominating Hill at sectionals. If he got beaten, it was a war. Hill cruised through the first round and quarterfinals in the winner’s bracket, pinning both his opponents in the second period. Montevallo’s Sam Adams bested him by a single escape point in the following bout, creating a win-and-in situation for Hill against St. James’ Emmett Rasmussen in consolation semis. He won a 9-1 major decision to qualify for state. “He lost in the semis, should have won that one — I wasn’t too pleased with some of the calls in that, but that’s life,” Taylor said. “Turned around and won the next match in the conso-

Knowing the daunting task in front of them, the Tigers sought to slow the pace of the game to keep the score tight and hopefully twist and turn their way to a victory down the stretch. Those aspirations were erased early by 2021’s Class 3A queens. The Panthers led 17-6 by the end of the first

Ponds picked up a pin in the first round before getting pinned himself in the second. He rolled through back-to-back pins to arrive in consolation semifinals, the same win-and-in scenario as Hill. He lost a tight 4-1 bout with St. James’ Jake Huff, the eventual third-place winner in the weight class. “That was tough for him because he got down in points, and Huff is a really good defensive wrestler,” Taylor said. “Omor’s shooting is not his
greatest strength. So he just found himself in a hole that he didn’t have the time to climb out of. I’m kind of biased, but I think Omor’s a better wrestler for sure, I think if he had to do it over again he’d take the kid.” Senior Collin Carleton entered this season with state tournament aspirations at 160 pounds. He pinned his first-round opponent but luck wasn’t on his side the rest of the way. He lost his next two matches to end his final campaign with the Rebels, the first to a 20-6 Shawn Sponsler and the second in sudden victory against Escambia County’s Tyanthony Dailey. Still, his contributions as a building-block senior are held in high regard by Taylor and

They had good shooters, they were good down low, so that’s what we tried to do.” Even still, Dadeville gave its best effort throughout its defeat. Junior forward D’Aja Caldwell hustled for a save to extend the team’s last full possession and set up a corner 3 for guard Nhylee Banks with less than 30 seconds to play.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement. Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, through employer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care. Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.
When you’re comparing plans... f Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only. f Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid. f Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.
Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.
1
Previous dental work can wear out.
That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.
Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2
Early detection can prevent small problems from becoming expensive ones.
Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.
The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.
Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $217 for a checkup ... $189 for a filling ... $1,219 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.
