ROARING 90s CLUB

New Site Senior Center celebrates three special seniors

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Those 90 and older have seen it all.

Nonagenarians have lived through the Great Depression, World War II and conflicts across the globe. They’ve seen Charles Lindbergh become the first person to fly across the Atlantic, Neal Armstrong walk on the moon. Computers, televisions and more were just ideas when they were born.

New Site Senior Center director Jan Kennedy organized a Roaring 90s party

to celebrate Geraldine Foreman, 94, Lindy Hill, 93, and Melba Boyd, 92, who have been attending Kennedy’s programs at the senior center over the years. But Friday was special because it was just for them.

“You have a lifetime of experience,” Kennedy said. “Each of you are a walking history book.

Your lives paralleled the journey of America. You are American national treasures.”

Each “young person” recalled seeing chickens under the house through cracks

in the floor, one horse wagons and sweeping the yard with a dogwood broom.

“I’ve had a good life,” Hill said. “I got a nice family and got good friends that I’m so thankful for… it’s been a good life but full of sorrow, trouble too. But that is what we expect in this life. God didn’t promise us it would be rosy all the way.”

Life wasn’t “rosy” for Hill but he has no complaints.

“I don’t remember my mother,” Hill said. “She died when I was a baby. They See CLUB, Page A2

TALLAPOOSA COUNTY HOGS THE SPOTLIGHT AT JUNIOR SWINE EXPO STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

T

allapoosa County had a good showing at the Southeastern Livestock Convention’s inaugural Junior Swine Expo this year, with Rose Hodnett named Grand Champion of Junior Showmanship, and Ruby Hodnett winning second place in the beginner’s division.

Makenna Martin, also of Tallapoosa County, placed third in Junior Showmanship.

Upwards of 100 hogs and 300 head of cattle were exhibited at the Junior Swine Expo and annual Junior Beef Expo held in Montgomery March 17-19. The Alabama Farmers Federation and Alfa Insurance sponsored the livestock contests.

“If you walk up to the ring, you hear us talking about cattle and hogs,” Alabama Farmers Federation and Alfa president Jimmy Parnell said in a statement. “What we’re really doing is raising young people and teaching them how to take care [of] things. That applies to most areas of people’s lives. We are investing time and money and effort in these young people, and I think we’ll see benefits down the road from this event.”

The junior swine and beef expos included showmanship contests, where youth are judged on their ability to lead, control and present animals while bringing out the hog or calf’s best characteristics, and market and breeding shows, where students’ animals are judged on strength, structure and soundness.

worked in the mill. Foreman too.

Cars were few and far between when they were children. Foreman wouldn’t have a car until she married Jack Foreman.

“We used a one horse wagon to get where we were going,” Foreman said. “It was all dirt roads.”

Hill and Boyd would have access to Ford Model Ts through their families.

“It was my daddy’s car,” Hill said. “It’s the first I remember.”

“Boyd said, “We were really thrilled to death.”

A night on the town could be paid for by the change in someone’s pocket.

“I would take a quarter and go to the show on Saturday night,” Hill said. “Pay a dime for a Coca Cola, a nickel for a box of popcorn. I would come across the street when the show was over and get a fountain Coca Cola and a cheeseburger for a dime.”

Courting was far simpler in the 30s and 40s. Family served as social media and dating sites.

Aunts and cousins would offer up introductions and marriages would happen a few months later.

Hill would find the love of his life while working in the lunchroom during summer school. Hill was paid in items he could sell — Coca Colas, boxes of chewing gum.

“The day I walked out the

walkway at the school house in Alex City in 1946 and seen the prettiest girl I had ever seen in my life — Betty Lee,” Hill said.

“I give Betty chewing gum.

That was a wonderful time. It rocked on for four kids and 60 years and 6 months.”

There were lessons along the way. A move to California and a return five months later for Hill.

“There wasn’t any gold out there,” Hill said. “They done dug it all up before I got there.

We come back to Alabama. It was a mistake. We survived it.”

With nine decades of experience, the 90 year olds have figured out the instructions for life.

“We could write a book if we wrote all of them down,” Hill said.

The instructions might fill a book but they all boil down to making the best of the situation someone is in.

“Just be content with the situation you are in,” Boyd said.

“Do what is right with people.”

Foreman said there are a lot of distractions to be avoided.

“Live a clean life,” she said.

“Don’t get hooked on all this stuff that’s out there.”

Hill said everyone needs to have God in their lives.

“Life is short, it’s short compared to eternity,” Hill said. “Be prepared to go anytime because He could call at any time. Have yourself prepared to return to where you came from.”

Easter Eggstravaganza to return with pizza, freebies and 400-plus eggs

By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Reporter Last year’s Easter Eggstravaganza returns to the Laurel Heights community Saturday, with food, freebies and more than 400 eggs to be found.

The second-annual egg hunt, spearheaded by Pastor Ivan Harris and Tammy Harris of The City of Outreach Church, is open to all families in the Alexander City area. This year, they’ll be joined by Central Ala-

bama Community College, Chick-FilA, Cricket Wireless and River Bank & Trust, there to give out free Easter baskets, gift cards and merchandise.

“They’re going to be on-site and they’re going to have their own vendor tables set up, and they’re going to be giving out things to the kids,” Ivan said.

The local Papa John’s is also donating pizza, Ivan said, while Home Depot will provide the candy.

More than 100 kids turned out last

year, but The City of Outreach Church is still encouraging people to help get the word out.

“It’s a community, family-driven event and it’s for anyone who wants to come,” Ivan said. “If you have kids, grandkids or kids in your community, we’ll meet you at the Easter egg hunt.”

The Eggstravaganza will be held at 694 Ann Street this Saturday, April 2 from 2-5 p.m.

Easter Sunday falls on April 17.

‘MO, YOU JUST BLEW THE ELECTION’ Brooks campaigns in Tallapoosa County just hours before losing Trump’s endorsement

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer Alabama Congressman Mo Brooks was still holding onto a Donald Trump endorsement to replace Richard Shelby as U.S. Senator Tuesday night just hours before the former president changed his mind.

“Do you want to know who supports Donald Trump?” Brooks told a gathering of the Tallapoosa County Republican Party. “I cut three checks in 2016, 2020 to help him get elected. In turn he endorsed me in 2018, 2020 and now in 2022.”

Brooks is running against Lillie Boddie, Katie Britt, who was also at the county meeting,Karla DuPriest, Michael Durant and Jake Schafer.

“Ask the other people who say they have been with Trump the whole time, prove it.,” Brooks said. “Demand evidence.”

Trump announced Wednesday morning he was pulling his endorsement of Brooks over comments at a Cullman rally about moving on from the 2020 election.

“When I heard his statement, I said, ‘Mo, you just blew the election, and there’s nothing you can do about it,’” Trump said. “Very sad but, since he decided to go in another direction, so have I, and I am hereby withdrawing my endorsement of Mo Brooks for the Senate. I don’t think the great people of Alabama will disagree with me.”

Brooks said Tuesday night he was in support of looking into election and voter irregularities.

“Who is it that lead the fight for honest elections and against voter fraud in 2020?,” Brooks said. “I did. I was the No.1 guy in Congress leading that fight.”

Brooks said special interest groups have partnered with other candidates in the field in an attempt to sway the election.

“The special interest groups do not want Mo Brooks elected to the United States Senate,” Brooks said.

“The ones who don’t want me the most want open borders and cheap labor coming up and taking jobs from Americans struggling to make ends meet. They don’t want me. They have chosen their candidate and

are putting millions of dollars out there to prevent me from being elected.”

Brooks said the special interest groups and those with power in Washington D.C. are trying to influence Alabama voters.

“I have been coming under attack by the Katie Britt team,” Brooks said. “You’ve seen the ads where I’m antimilitary, for the Islamic state, I’m for Al Qaeda and I love Nancy Pelosi.”

Brooks said the accusations are far from the truth the people of Alabama have spoken numerous times that they like how Brooks has served as county commissioner, state legislator and in Congress.

“Do you think the good people of Alabama would have elected me 14 times if any of that was true?”

Brooks said. “There all lies, every single bit of it. What is happening is special interest groups do not want Mo Brooks in the United States Senate because you know what? I don’t do what they tell me to do. They know I don’t do what they tell me to do.”

Brooks said he only works with special interest groups if they are able to convince him they have the country’s best interest as a mission.

“That is so unlike what is going on in Washington D.C.,” Brooks said. “Special interests groups control the place. They put the money in the right hands and get the results you get.”

Brooks said his track record is there on issues such as abortion and the Second Amendment.

“You can look at where I stand on key public policy issues and know where I will be because I have been there,” Brooks said. “Nobody

else in this election offers that kind of record.”

Brooks said the country’s conservative Christian principles are under attack. By not looking into and protecting those principles will lead to the downfall of the U.S. “America is the greatest nation in history,” Brooks said. “We should be proud of that and understand because those principles have to be protected if we are going to continue to be the greatest country. Socialism is on the march. Americans who are patriotic and love their country better wake up or we are going to lose it.”

Brooks said his track record goes back to the days when there were few Republicans by name in Alabama placing him on the “Spear of the Republican Party” just a couple decades ago.

“When I first ran for the legislature, we were outnumbered 136 to 4,” Brooks said. “It would have been easy to run as a Democrat but I did not believe what they believed so I didn’t do it. I ran as a Republican even though it was the longer tougher road to try. We were successful.”

Brooks said he has passed the test of the voters every time.

“The closest any opponent has gotten in a Republican primary or general election is 37 percent,” Brooks said.

Brooks said voters trust him because he doesn’t mind going against the political establishment.

“The people who know me, know I mean what I say,” Brooks said. “You may not agree with me but you are going to know that I mean it.”

Brooks said those who doubt his support of the

American military are misguided. Brooks said Redstone Arsenal is home to the most military jobs in the state and is in his district.

“They are running ads that I’m anti-military,” Brooks said. “Do you think I could have ever won any election if there was any truth to that accusation. They don’t care about the truth.”

Brooks said he voted against the original version of Defense Appropriations Act pushed by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

“My opponents slammed me for doing that,” Brooks said. “They hit me and hit me. ‘Oh Mo Brooks is opposed to national defense.’”

Brooks said the nay vote was needed and he was joined by other members in the Alabama delegation in voting against the original version of the military spending bill. Brooks said the bill included firing military personnel who refused to get vaccinated.

“That was in this bill,” Brooks said. “There were a lot of other things in the bill.

We stood strong and when we got to the final version of the bill all those provisions struck because the Democrats and rhino Republicans couldn’t take the heat any longer.”

Alabama Senior Services Department

By BETH CHAPMAN

A

mong the agencies recognized in the governor’s cabinet is the Alabama Department of Senior Services (ADSS).

It is the one agency with guaranteed longevity because there is one thing for certain – we are all going to be senior citizens at some point in our lives. We pray we are anyway.

Fortunate for us and those we love, we have an outstanding department of senior services with many benefits for those they serve.

The agency has many responsibilities which include but are not limited to providing meals for qualified senior citizens, assisting with prescription drug medications, and Medicare and caregiver resources. According to the ADSS website, Commissioner Jean Brown says the department’s purpose is to “preserve the independence and dignity of Alabama’s seniors and disabled population.” They do a good job at it, too.

The department even has its own hall of fame. Since 1983, the Alabama Senior Citizens Hall of Fame has honored hundreds of Alabamians aged 60 and older for their exceptional contributions to older Alabamians in their communities.

ADSS is currently seeking nominations for its 2022 hall of fame inductions. If you know of couples who have been married 65 years or longer or individuals who are 100 years of age or older, they qualify to be honored by the hall of fame. Also, individuals who have done outstanding work with seniors can be nominated for induction as well.

Think about people in your community who go out of their way to assist senior citizens and nominate them. It could be a director of senior adults at your church or the local parks and recreation department senior director, a doctor, nurse or more.

If you or an organization to which you belong are interested in making a nomination, visit AlabamaAgeline.gov for a nomination form. The deadline for this year’s nominations is May 1. Award winners will be announced this summer and honored in an induction ceremony in August.

If you or someone you love needs assistance with programs for senior citizens or help for people with disabilities, and caregivers, ADSS recently updated its Guide to Services directory, which is available on its website at AlabamaAgeline.gov.

Our

Young Boozer, State Treasurer Mission

Y

oung Boozer is state treasurer, again, and deservedly so.

Boozer was first elected as Alabama’s State Treasurer in 2010. He did an excellent job during his first four years and was reelected in 2014 without opposition. Thus, serving eight consecutive years as state treasurer. He could have been elected to a third four-year stint. However, constitutionally he was term limited to two successive terms.

John McMillan was elected treasurer in 2018, after serving eight successful years as Agriculture Commissioner.

Mr. Boozer was not ready to leave public service, so he agreed to become Assistant Superintendent of Banking with Superintendent Mike Hill.

During last year’s regular legislative session, the legislature passed a medical cannabis bill along with the legislation to allow for medical marijuana.

They created an agency to oversee the prescription and regulatory process. The commission asked John McMillan to be Executive Director of the Cannabis Commission. Governor Kay Ivey subsequently appointed Young Boozer to McMillan’s remaining 15-month term ending in 2022. Boozer is running for reelection this year. He easily will be elected for another full fouryear term through 2026. That will make him the longest serving treasurer in state history. The legendary Agnes Baggett currently holds the record.

Young Boozer is perfectly scripted to be state treasurer.

He grew up in Tuscaloosa and went to college at

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist Stanford University. The elite California college is known for producing national entrepreneurs and bank presidents. Young graduated with honors and then went to Wharton Business School for a masters in business. He went on to have a successful career as a national and international banker. He came home to be Executive Vice President of Colonial Bank in Montgomery. Young served on the Stanford University Board of Trustees from 2003 to 2008.

Therefore, you would have to say that he is probably the most qualified person to have ever served as Alabama’s State Treasurer because, essentially, the state treasurer is the state’s banker. He is uniquely qualified and is doing the job for the right reasons.

Young Boozer is one of the best political names I have ever seen. It is a name you remember. However, this Young Boozer is Young Boozer III. His father, Young Boozer II was a legendary football hero and businessman. The original Young Boozer was in the timber business in Geneva County and was Mayor of Samson. He died at age 33 of flu during the Flu Pandemic of 1918-1919. His widow moved the family to Dothan where Young Boozer II went to high school.

Young Boozer II was a superstar high school baseball and football player and

student. He was brought to play both sports at the University of Alabama. In his class was the great Dixie Howell who was also from the wiregrass and also in that class was a lanky kid from Fordyce, Arkansas named Paul “Bear” Bryant. This trio of Dixie Howell, Bear Bryant and Young Boozer went out on a train to Pasadena, California and beat Stanford in the 1935 Rose Bowl and established the south and especially the University of Alabama as a football power to be reckoned with forever.

Young Boozer II was a hero of that Rose Bowl game.

He intercepted a pass in the waning moments of that game and clinched the victory.

Young Boozer II went on to be an ultra-successful businessman in Tuscaloosa.

He was involved with Coach Bryant in several successful business ventures. Young Boozer II started and built Cotton States Life Insurance Company which he ultimately sold to Alfa Insurance, and it made him very wealthy. He was a gregarious, unassuming man, who was always smiling and joyous.

Our current state treasurer, Young Boozer III, has a son who is appropriately named Young Boozer IV. What if this Young Boozer has a son and he names him Young Boozer? He will be named Young Boozer the fifth.

Letter to the Editor

L

Trump vs. Brooks

ike a large wharf rat leaping from a sinking garbage scow, Donald Trump this week “unendorsed” Alabama’s Mo Brooks in his doomed candidacy for the U.S. Senate.

Although Brooks has apparently declined to provide the FBI with a stool sample to compare against the smeared mess left in the U.S. Capitol by his fellow insurrectionists last year, he may yet have new opportunities to offer evidence in multiple investigations into the events of January 6, 2021, likely beginning but not ending

with sworn testimony before the House committee chaired by Mississippi’s Bennie Thompson.

Clearly, Trump is worried about how much Brooks might tell—especially if he is offered immunity for testimony in a criminal proceeding—and Trump is positioning himself to label any testimony by Brooks as “sour grapes politics.”

I would love to sit back with popcorn and enjoy the schadenfreude as the low-lifes who now comprise the leadership of the Republican Party begin, as have Trump and Brooks, to

devour each other like so many rabid hyenas. But eight long years of George W. Bush and four even longer years of Donald Trump have left us with a world that affords little time for, and scant comfort in, such frivolities.

Instead, we must fight the daily battles to save our planet, our children, our values and indeed, our democracy, from not only the crazies among us, but from the crazies worldwide whom they have emboldened.

The Queen of England: Elizabeth II

Platinum Jubilee Word Search

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor was born on April 21, 1926, in London, England. She is the longest-living Monarch in British history; February 6, 2022, marked her 70th year as Queen. This landmark, known as her Platinum Jubilee, will be celebrated by all in England, during the month of June. At the time of her birth, her grandfather, King George V, was the King of England, and her Uncle Edward was heir to the throne. When she was 10 years old, King George died. Her uncle decided that he did not want to be King and stepped down from, or abdicated, the throne. Elizabeth’s father then became the King of England, and her life changed forever, as she would now one day be Queen. Elizabeth spent her childhood DR KIDZ learning lessons that would prepare her for her future. She was taught public speaking, laws about government, and diplomacy. When she was 13 years old, World War II started. Over the course of the war, Elizabeth made her first public speech to the children of the United Kingdom. By the end of the war, she had joined the women’s branch of the Army and trained to be an automobile mechanic. She was a smart, hardworking young lady and always put her duty and Country first. During the war, she met a young officer in the Royal Navy named Prince Philip. In 1947, Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip married at Westminster Abbey in England. They were married for 73 years, until his death in April 2021. On February 6, 1952, at the age of 25 upon her father’s death, she became Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Queen Elizabeth has spent a lifetime working for the Countries under her reign, called the Commonwealth. While she does not rule England, she is heavily involved in the Government; England’s Prime Minister, who is like our President, consults with her regularly. Queen Elizabeth still attends to all her duties to this day.

On being admonished

By Michael Brooks It was a striking comment in a book we used in midweek Bible study. The chapter was about growing in relationships, and the writer said sometimes we had to “wound” others. He cited Proverbs 27:6: “The wounds of a friend are faithful…”

I stated I didn’t feel comfortable with this concept. Another attendee suggested a better word is “admonish,” which is an activity the Apostle Paul encouraged to do (Romans 15:14).

Later a deacon came to me with a pointed question. He asked if I’d ever been admonished.

“Yes, of course,” I replied.

“What did you do?” he asked.

I told him that if the admonishment was illadvised, I overlooked it. But if it was on target I tried to change my attitude and behavior.

And I thought of two examples.

A church leader waited for me one Monday morning. He was upset that I’d asked my associate to preside the night before at the concluding service of a Bible conference. I explained that my wife was ill and I needed to sit with our two small children, so I asked my associate to host in my place. The leader told me that I was the pastor and I always needed to preside at church events.

In my heart I didn’t agree with his assessment since I believe in sharing responsibilities. I was there, the service went well and the church was

encouraged. But I listened and thanked him for his thoughts. Years later I remain puzzled why this was such an issue. I was admonished about something inconsequential.

But I remembered another time a church leader came to announce a family who had begun to worship with us was distraught at something I’d said the Sunday previous. He prodded me a bit as to what they told him they heard. I shared a funny (and true) story about a lady who did something crazy in a previous church. I described her as “a few fries short of a Happy Meal.”

The leader explained this family had a grandchild with some brain injuries and who’d had multiple surgeries, and apparently, they thought I was insensitive to this. I didn’t know about their grandchild and certainly wasn’t trying to belittle anyone with a medical condition.

I called the family immediately to schedule a visit, but they didn’t take my calls. So, I showed up anyway. I apologized profusely and learned more about their grandchild. I followed up with a heart-felt note. They later joined our church. It was an admonishment I needed to hear.

Admonishment is a Christian practice that must be carefully considered before discarding or heeding. We need God’s wisdom in deciding which to do.

Davis and Keeton representing CACC at fishing national championships

By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director Anglers attending school in Alexander City will get to compete alongside the nation’s best collegiate fishermen this week.

Chase Davis and Camden Keeton, anglers for the CACC Trojans, are battling for a championship in Wagoner, Okla.

Tuesday through Thursday as part of Major League Fishing’s Abu Garcia Collegiate series.

“This is a life-changing thing for these guys if they were to win it,” CACC fishing coach Michael McLain said. “It’s an unbelievable experience for them, for our college, for our community and their families to have two good young men, great anglers, great students, to be out here wearing our

SUBMITTED | THE RECORD CACC anglers Chase Davis and Camden Keeton qualified for the MLF collegiate national championships and will face the nation’s best in Oklahoma this week.

colors.”

Fort Gibson Lake will play host to the national championship, which features 178 of the country’s best collegiate fishermen.

Top prize is a $33,500 package that includes a brand-new Phoenix 518 pro bass boat.

Each of the top two teams from the three-day

tournament get entered into the 2022 Toyota Series Championship as pros, and will have the opportunity to fish against the best anglers in America for a prize of up to $235,000.

Both Davis and Keeton have been sharpening their skills since high school, McLain said, and the former is actually president of CACC’s bass team.

“The tournament that qualified them for this national championship was their first collegiate event,” McLain said. “I couldn’t have been more proud of the guys. They went out that first event and they qualified. They fished hard.”

Each boat is limited to a catch of five bass per day.

Anglers will depart at 7 a.m. each morning before returning for weigh-ins at 3 p.m. Tuesday, Wednes-

day and Thursday. The combined weight of fish caught from those three days determines the standings.

To get through to Thursday, Davis and Keeton will need to be in the top 10 boats following Wednesday’s weigh-ins.

Reaching the tournament in the first place was no easy feat. The duo needed to finish in the top 10 percent of one of three regional qualifying tournaments, and did so by taking 21st of 278 boats on Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee in March 2021.

“We did really well at Lake Chickamauga,” McLain said. “The guys went up there one day and had a decent bag of fish and got in.”

Davis and Keeton began their bid for a national title at 7 a.m.

This was March

By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director Sometimes it’s a good exercise to take a breath and look back.

This March has been one of the craziest I can remember in the sporting world.

Which is saying a lot, since the month often marking the transition from winter to spring is known for such antics.

That’s mainly due to the NCAA Tournament. And my, what a classic this year has been.

College basketball’s

Kansas was the only No. 1 seed to escape the Sweet 16.

But March Madness was far from the only bit of national championship decid- fantastically frantic sporting er is beloved for its volatility action. and fast-paced nature.

here. From a pure football perspective the team landed what might be a top 5 gunslinger in the league.

The Cincinnati Bengals (the team I root for, being from Ohio) added three offensive linemen to finally protect quarterback Joe Burrow and the AFC stacked pass rushers and offensive weapons like cans of soup before an apocalypse.

None of this includes the playoff races happening right now in the NBA and NHL. On the basketball side, LeBron James’ Lakers are battling just to get a spot in the play-in games and half a game separates seeds one through four in the East.

This month even began

in the team’s 3-1 victory over rival Opelika.

Benjamin Russell’s softball squad went a combined 1-2-1 this week against a slate that featured a Class 7A school in Auburn and two games in tournament play. Their record still stands at a strong 13-6-1 on the season, though, the best among any baseball or softball team covered by The Outlook.

crazy with uncertainty about whether the MLB would start anytime soon. The owners and players association finally came to terms on a deal after an exhausting string of negotiations, though a few series were lost to open the season.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t also talk about the UFC here.

One of the sport’s greatest rivalries, that between welterweight fighters Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal, spotlighted a fantastic pay-per-view card March 8 that also saw Tai “Bam Bam” Tuivasa knock the lights out of UFC knockout king Derrick Lewis with an elbow across his chin.

Masvidal later punched Covington in a steakhouse

and knocked out a few of his teeth for comments Covington made about Masvidal’s family during the run up to the fight.

A few weeks later the fighting promotion held a fight night in London and got memorable performances from some of the sport’s biggest names from the United Kingdom, such as Paddy “the Baddy” Pimblett’s first-round submission of Kazula Vargas.

April kicks off with the Final Four and a UFC payper-view featuring two championship fights before the season begins for the MLB and the playoffs begin for both the NBA and NHL. But it’s certainly been a mad March.

ROUNDUP

Continued from A7

T

he college baseball and softball seasons were canceled after a brief out of conference schedule in 2020 due to the chaotic Covid-19 environment. The sports came back in 2021, but played in front of severely diminished crowds. The Auburn baseball team struggled mightily and finished with a 10-20 conference record.

The Auburn softball team also struggled in 2021 finishing the year with a 7-17 conference record. Like nearly every other sport, the SEC schedule can be a nightmare to navigate with every week presenting a daunting challenge. Butch Thompson's team was in the College World Series in 2019 and is desperately hoping to get back on the right track in 2022.

Mickey Dean has taken the softball team into postseason all three years of his tenure (except 2020 because of Covid), but the program was trending in the wrong direction. Both programs need a good year in 2022 and both programs are off to a good start.

Auburn baseball is now 17-7 overall and 3-3 in the SEC. That might not seem like that great of a record, but it's not bad all things considered.

They just went into College Station and took two of three from Texas

softball teams were off last week for Spring Break. They both returned to action Tuesday in games played after the publication of this week’s Record.

DADEVILLE Dadeville baseball dropped its lone contest last week against Benjamin Russell despite multi-hit days from Ethan Adcox and Sawyer Sapp.

The Tigers cut what was a 4-1 Benjamin Russell lead to 4-3 in the top of the fifth inning off some crafty baserunning from Levi Childers and a misplayed fly ball hit by Walker Spraggins, but the Wildcats responded with a six-run rally with two outs in the bottom of the frame and cruised to an 11-4 win from there.

The school’s softball team had no games this past week per GameChanger and MaxPreps.

HORSESHOE BEND Trailing 8-2 after two innings, Horseshoe Bend’s baseball team did all it could Monday to get back into contention with Beauregard but fell 8-5 against the Hornets.

Gavin Brazzell collected three hits at the plate while Rylan Sharpe batted in two runs across two hits in his appearances.

Taylor Humphrey and Sawyer Smith recorded back-to-back RBI knocks in the top of the fifth, but neither side scored from there.

Horseshoe Bend’s softball team had no games this past week per GameChanger and MaxPreps.

It's been a power surge making the ANDY difference for the softball program GRAHAM as well. They have now hit 50 home runs through 31 games. They only hit Columnist 22 through 51 games last year. They have scored more runs than every team but Kentucky and Georgia.

REELTOWN After a more-than-rocky 1-11 start to the year, Reeltown baseball has been picking up some steam the past few weeks.

The Rebels have now won four games ina-row, dominating LAMP Academy 11-2 in their most recent contest to improve to 5-11.

An area rival in Dadeville should provide plenty of intrigue with a few games bearing playoff implications between the two sides this week.

On the softball side Reeltown lost an area matchup at Beulah by a score of 10-0 Monday.

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.
