TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: City council discusses leash laws

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Stray animals have become a problem in Dadeville and the issue has become so rampant that the city council is considering intervening after one resident feared for her safety earlier this week.

Councilwoman Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson raised the concern during a city council meeting on Tuesday, during which she recounted a resident who told her she was driven back inside her house by several pitbulls while attending her yard.

“She can’t even get out of her yard because pitbulls are running her back

in the house and have taken over. After hearing about it, I went and drove over and there they were,”Johnson said. “They were sitting over there in her yard. This is something that I am still saying we have to do something about, a leash law or anything. Something has to be done.”

Johnson explained that the resident believes the dogs are searching for food and as a result are repeatedly roaming into her yard.

“She doesn’t want to go out and confront these animals and you shouldn’t have to work all your life, have a job and a home and can’t even come out of your house because your neighbors are irresponsible and won’t

keep their dogs on their land. I am bringing this up because currently there is no solution,” Johnson said.

Johnson noted that stray dogs have been among residents’ top complaints since she was elected several years ago. According to Johnson, Dadeville does not currently enforce a leash law, which she believes would greatly reduce the problem.

“This needs to stop. It has been going on since I have been on the council, five or six years ago. We always come to a brick wall, but I am telling you we have got to get out of that brick wall because it is not workSee LEASH LAWS, Page A12

New driver license system officially debuts with issues

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Multiple county driver license offices, including in Tallapoosa County, were reporting issues relating to a new driver license system that rolled out statewide on Tuesday.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) officially launched a new modernized driver license system this week, simply known as LEADS. All statewide driver license offices were closed last week from April 18-25 in preparation for the new system rollout.

The new statewide system is meant to revitalize the current system that has been in place for nearly two decades.

However, the system was largely unavailable

First Annual Gumbo Get Down set for Saturday

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter This weekend, Main Street Alexander City will turn downtown Alexander City into a small taste of New Orleans as the organization is hosting the inaugural Gumbo Get Down, a day that is expected to be filled with tasty food and fun for the whole community.

Executive Director Stacey Jeffcoat described community anticipation as high for the upcoming food festival with over 14 gumbo booths currently registered.

“People are excited about it. There were no gumbo cookoffs in the area and we just thought this was something fun and different for the community. We would love to turn it into a yearly event and see it grow,” Jeffcoat said.

Jeffcoat noted the cook-off as significant as it is one of the first of its kind in the city’s history.

The festival will serve as a fundraiser for the organization, with all proceeds split between the organization’s operational expenses and downtown programs, including beautification projects and community events.

A contest will run from 12 – 4 p.m. with winners being selected among three categories: seafood, chicken and sausage as well as specialty. Each category winner will receive a $500 cash prize.

There will also be categories for best-looking booth and a people’s choice award, where the public can vote on their favorite gumbo recipe. $100 will be awarded to the winners of these categories.

In addition to good food, attendees will be able to enjoy live music from Benjamin Russell High School jazz band and for families, inflatable rides and face-painting will be present.

Among the event’s biggest sponsors include Russell Lands as well as Tallapoosa County Commissioners Steve Robinson and John Mckelvey.

Dadeville celebrates 2nd annual

‘Kiddos and Cops’

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Law enforcement and members of the Dadeville community mingled at Pennington Park on Saturday as part of the second annual Kiddos and Cops, where police, first responders and residents enjoyed games, food and building camaraderie.

Lead organizer Melinda Silmon described community reception as overwhelmingly positive this past weekend with dozens of local businesses and individuals pooling resources to host the event.

“The community just loves it and they’re overwhelmed. We have had donations from all of our businesses, not just here in Dadeville, but all over.

Local citizens have also donated as well to help with preparations. Going forward, I want to do this every year and just make it bigger and better,” Silmon said.

A vast array of law enforcement and first responders were present during the festivities, including the Tallapoosa County’s Sheriff’s Office, both the Alexander City and Dadeville police departments and the Dadeville Fire Department.

Dadeville police Chief Jonathan Floyd added that he is enthusiastic about the continuation of the initiative and expressed his gratitude for community

partners like Silmon.

“She put all this together out of the goodness of her heart. She is an awesome partner to have out here in the community and being able to interact with the kids is amazing because oftentimes when we see children when things are bad, and one of our officers has been called,” Floyd said. “But getting to come out here and play and hang out with them is just a blessing.”

Silmon proposed the initiative to the city last year as a way to build trust between communities and the police following a negative interaction that Silmon and her son experienced with law enforcement.

In 2019, Silmon and her son DeMico Silmon spoke with the city council with the support of about 100 residents to request the removal of a Dadeville police officer who had drawn a gun on DeMico during a traffic stop. DeMico, an Auburn University senior at the time, was on his way to an exam.

The officer involved no longer works at Dadeville Police Department, but Silmon decided to transform the experience into an opportunity for positive change.

“I didn’t want to hang onto that anger forever so this is what I wanted from that. Nobody’s perfect, but I wanted to make sure that the community and the See KIDDOS AND COPS, Page A12

Alexander City Councilmembers host town hall with BRHS students

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter Members of the Alexander City City Council recently hosted a town hall with students where they addressed questions from the community’s youngest citizens, including issues relating to the economy, infrastructure and affordable housing.

John Fussell, a Benjamin Russell High School teacher, invited Councilmembers Chris Brown and Scott Hardy as guest speakers to partake in his civics and government class on Friday, April 15.

During the town hall, Fussell expressed that he hoped the forum would provide an opportunity for the students to be civically engaged, and feel invested in their community.

“We always talk about community involvement and you [the students] are the new leadership coming up, and the most important thing that I feel is going to make this city successful is being able to retain people that are graduating from this school system and that want to make this city into a place you would want to come back to have a business, or raise a family,” Fussell said.

Both Brown and Hardy concurred, adding that these types of conversations are crucial for building city pride and preserving the community’s stakeholders.

“When you guys say Alex City, I want you to have the same type of pride that I had when I was growing up. That’s part of the reason why I want to stay engaged and stay involved in the community,” Hardy said.

Among the students’ questions, many were particularly curious about the city’s plans for additional amusement and entertainment venues.

Brown highlighted staples of the region such as Lake Martin and Wind Creek State Park, but added that the city is interested in providing additional entertainment venues closer to Alexander City’s downtown district.

“We need more and need to find things for our youth to do outside of just restaurants, and that’s very important because that goes back to that quality of life,” Brown said. We want places for teenagers to be able to hang out in a safe environment.”

Brown noted new businesses that are relocating downtown, including an upcoming arcade that is set to open this summer and Nub Chuckers Axe Throwing that debuted in 2020.

Hardy addressed the issue from an economic-

development standpoint.

“I want us to be able to compete for you because we should have the advantage because you’re from here, but there’s some limitations as to what we can offer to make this as younger friendly as we could,” Hardy said. “The way that we get more things in is that we have to create a middle class and have more people coming in.”

Another topic that was frequently discussed was the state of the city’s infrastructure.

Fussell led the conversation as he served as a driver education instructor last year for the high school and called specific attention to the intersection near Winn Dixie, which he believes is currently a public safety risk.

“One of the most dangerous places for me to drive is the area right in front of Winn Dixie at that median, so why is there not a traffic light there,” Fussell said.

Brown responded saying that the city has requested a traffic light for the intersection on several occasions, but that the roadway is under the state’s jurisdiction.

“We have requested some lights in a couple of spots, that being one of them, because unfortunately there have been some accidents there. People don’t understand how to use that intersection, but we don’t control that, and we have yet to see a light in the drawings from the state,” Brown said.

According to Brown, the Alabama Department of Transportation recently proposed a traffic plan for the 280 corridor encompassing Alexander City, and that the proposal would focus on the section of the highway stretching from Walmart to Dean Road.

Students also raised concerns about several potholes at the intersection near Walmart, which city leaders noted and added that any complaints could be filed with the city.

Lastly, the council members discussed the city’s ongoing housing shortage, specifically relating to a lack of rental properties and starter homes.

“We need homes in Alexander City. We have teachers that are having to commute 30 to 40 miles to work here, all because there’s just no homes for them. We also have housing that’s within the city and the community that needs some help,” Brown said.

Brown explained that due to this dichotomy it is difficult for a simply overarching solution.

“There are two sides of that because you don’t want to create a new area to lose an old area per

say, so you have to find a healthy balance,” he said.

Hardy and Brown concluded the town hall expressing gratitude for being able to participate and build a dialogue with Alexander City’s residents.

“I think Alexander City is in a very unique place right now. I think we’re in a position where we’re about to transition into the type

of community that you guys would want to have,” Hardy said.”The people that have steered Alex City for the majority of its history are now starting to fade away and there is new group of leaders and it’s our job to keep you guys interested in Alex City. So these types of engagements and these types of questions are what creates the dialogue.”

Alabamian helped work White House egg roll

By BETH CHAPMAN

A

labama’s Caleb Hicks was invited to the White House earlier this month to participate in the President’s annual Easter Egg Roll.

Hicks was not just invited to participate but was given a leadership role (no pun intended) in helping manage the egg hunt section of this event. He and his fiancé, Katie Phillips, both worked the event and reported it was not only fun, but the opportunity of a lifetime. But it was more than fun for Hicks; it was work. Hicks is the communications and membership director of the Alabama Egg and Poultry Association, which is responsible for, among other things, promoting Alabama’s billion-dollar poultry and egg industry.

The American Egg Board, which manages promotions for the egg industry in the U.S., invited about a dozen people from across the country, and due to his job, Hicks was one of them. You may be familiar with the board via its well-known “Incredible Edible Egg” campaign.

The White House Easter Egg Roll has been an annual event since 1878 when Rutherford B. Hayes was president. It has been held most years since then, except for inclement weather, war times and the past two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Approximately 30,000 people attended the event this year. They were selected through a national lottery. American farmers donated 100,000 eggs to the event and to the Maryland Food Bank. Americans decorate and eat approximately 3 billion eggs during the Easter season.

Hicks is quick to point out that Alabama does its part in the production of all things eggs and poultry. Alabama’s egg and poultry industry has an annual economic impact of $15 billion in our state. We rank second nationally in broiler production. Poultry is one of the largest industries in the state and makes up one-eighth of Alabama’s economy. It is responsible for 86,000 jobs and produces over 1billion birds each year. Out of the 1.7 million table egg laying hens, 500 million eggs are produced.

That’s a whole lot of eggs.

Thank you to Hicks for representing our state and one of its largest industries at the biggest egg hunt of them all at the biggest house of them all. Keep Alabama relevant. Eat more poultry and eggs.

What Americans can Mission learn from France’s election

F

rance recently held their election, which resulted in a repudiation of authoritarianism and the politics of Putin.

Given that France is like the United States, a presidential system, I examine what lessons we might pick up from Paris and elsewhere about party politics and the public.

Despite dire predictions that Putin ally Marine Le Pen might prevail, incumbent President Emmanuel Macron held her off to win the runoff comfortably by an estimated 58-42 percent margin, despite having an approval rating of 44 percent and a disapproval rating of 54 percent a month ago. The lesson for U.S. politics is that voters are capable of distinguishing whether democracy is to blame and whether a less democratic solution would be better.

Some journalists have harped on the argument this margin was closer than Macron’s last victory, signaling potential trouble down the road, even hinting at a moral victory for Le Pen, according to the N.Y. Times. But it’s a faulty argument. Such writers failed to point out that Macron has had to wrestle with (1) the chaos of those who refuse to accept election results, (2) the pandemic, (3) the economic collapse that followed, and (4) the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine and the potential for fuel price pressures.

Letter to the Editor It was taxes, not slavery, said Abraham Lincoln

A

pril is Confederate History Month as proclaimed by the governor and Alabama Board of Education.

Monday, April 25, is Confederate Memorial Day Holiday.

If Russia’s invasion succeeds, the children in Ukraine will be taught Russia’s version of the war and not Ukraine’s.

The same happened to the Confederate States of America, whose true version of Lincoln’s Tax War is suppressed by the Wall Street billionaires, who own most of the media and government.

Over 150 years after Lincoln declared a war over

taxes only and not slavery, at all, these billionaires continue to divide Black and White Christians with their lie about a “war over slavery.” Divide and conquer is how they control the people of this world.

Nevertheless, Christians believe that “Love rejoices with the Truth.” (1 Corinthians 13: 6) March 4, 1861, Lincoln declared in his first inaugural address: “I have no purpose to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists, and I have no inclination to do so.”

(Par. 4) “The power confided to me will be used to collect

the duties (tariffs) and import taxes; but beyond what may be necessary for these objects, there will be no invasion.” (Par. 21) There is no proof of Lincoln (the only person to declare war) stating his war was over slavery, not even in his fake “Emancipation Proclamation.” Lincoln’s proclamations exempted a million slaves under his control from being freed, including General U.S. Grant’s four slaves.

Slavery was not abolished, just the name changed to “Sharecropper.”

Hot Air Balloons

A hot air balloon is a flying device that uses hot air to stay afloat. They were invented by two brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier. The first successful flight was in Paris on September 19, 1783. Hot air balloons have two major parts--the envelope and the basket.

The envelope is the balloon filled with hot air which provides the lifting required for flying.

The basket is attached to the bottom of the balloon and is usually large enough to fit a, there are balloons designed to hold around 20-25 people. The hot air balloon works by filling the DR KIDZ envelope with hot propane gas. Often times when you see a hot air balloon, you can see the flame that is produced when filling the envelope with more gas. The difference between the hot air inside the balloon and the cool air outside of the balloon is what creates the buoyancy that lifts it off the ground. The heat inside the balloon can range from anywhere between 250 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot air balloons, compared with modern methods of transportation, are very slow. They are also not as accurate when it comes to steering, but their direction can be influenced by the pilot, although they are moved through the sky largely by the wind. Because passengers of a hot air balloon are outside in high altitudes, it is a very smooth ride. The wind does not affect an individual person; instead, it moves the entire balloon. For this reason, only gusts of wind are generally felt, making for a smooth, peaceful ride.

H

ow many times while growing up have you heard the words, “be quiet and listen to me”? You remember the ole saying, “there is a reason we have two ears and one mouth”. God’s Word tells us in Isaiah 55:2-3, “give ear and come to me; hear me, that your soul may live”. Listen to Him. There is no other way to take Him in, “When your words came, I ate them,” (Jeremiah 15:16).

A precious friend gave me a Bible once that meant so much to me. I had left my Bible laying on the table and my little puppy jumped from a chair onto the table while I was at work. I was amazed when I got home that the entire Book of 1 Timothy and 2 Timothy had been “chewed” from the Word of God. The Bible was perfectly intact except for the words my dog decided to eat.

I think Jeremiah was saying to feed on God’s Word. Many of us read God’s Word but we are more intent on mastering the text – finding out its precise meaning, gathering theories and theologies – so we can talk more intelligently about God. The main purpose of reading the Bible is not to accumulate data about Him, but to “come to Him,” to encounter Him as our living God. In Jesus’ life on earth, He said to the best read

Biblical students of His day, “You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me.” (John 5:39) Many times, just like these scholars, we read the Bible, but do not listen to God; “they never heard his voice (John 5:37). There is joy in discovering Biblical knowledge, but there is no life in it. The Bible is a stimulus to our interaction with God. When we read His Word, think of Him as being present and speaking to you. He speaks to us through His Word. Meditate on His words until His thoughts begin to take shape in your mind. As you read, realize that we are reading God’s mind – what He knows, what He feels, what He wants, what He enjoys, what He desires, what He Loves, what He hates. Think about each word. Give yourself time for prayerful contemplation until God’s heart is revealed and your heart is exposed.

God can never be understood through intellect but through insight that comes from purity of heart – from love, humility, and a desire to obey.

It is the “pure in heart” who “will see God” (Matthew 5:8).

Benjamin Russell football looks to build depth in spring practice

By DALTON MIDDLETON Spor ts Editor The Benjamin Russell football team returns a good amount of starters from last year’s team, and now head coach Aubrey Blackwell hopes to build some depth in spring practice.

Blackwell and the Wildcats will begin their spring football practice on May 9th, one week later than they originally planned. They also had to cancel their spring game due to scheduling conflicts, and Blackwell is currently looking for an opponent.

Nonetheless, game or no game, the Wildcats will work on getting

their younger players some quality experience, while he hopes his experienced players will continue improving on timing and schemes.

“We know that we have to build some depth,” Blackwell said. “We have some very talented ninth graders coming in who had good seasons last year. We need to get them on the field in a hurry and see how they’ll react in a hurry. We’re going count on a lot of younger kids to be our backups this year.

We have a lot of experience and starters back, so we enter this football year in a much different spot than we did last year. However, our back ups and our younger guys will be very inexperienced.”

Benjamin Russell’s skill players do not lack in depth. The Wildcats return All-Outlook quarterback Gabe Benton after he passed for nearly 1,600 yards and 13 touchdowns last year.

His top three receivers return as well. Corri Milliner had 60 catches for 880 yards last year, while Chris Foster had 32 catches for 269 yards and Labronski McKinney had 22 catches for 443 yards.

The biggest hurt on offense is the loss of senior running back Demarcus McNeal. McNeal had 556 rushing yards last year, over ANDY ANDERS | THE RECORD half of the total rushing yards Benjamin Russell quarterback Gabe Benton (3) returns for his junior season. The All-Outlook quarterback passed for 1,600 yards and 13 touchSee PRACTICE, Page A8 downs as a sophomore.

BENJAMIN RUSSELL GIRLS SOCCER RIDES FIVE-GAME WIN STREAK INTO 6A PLAYOFFS

By DALTON MIDDLETON Sports Editor

B

enjamin Russell girls soccer coach Lee Wagoner doesn’t consider Friday’s first round playoff match as a revenge game, but more of a reckoning.

The Benjamin Russell girls open the AHSAA Class 6A playoffs on the road against Helena on Friday at 6 p.m. Ben Russell (10-51) is the No. 2 seed out of Area 5 while Helena (13-8-1) is the No. 1 seed out of Area 5.

This isn’t the first time these two schools have faced each other in the first round of the playoffs. They also played last year in the first round of the playoffs, and Helena walked out of Benjamin Russell’s stadium with a 2-1 win in penalty kicks after two overtimes.

Wagoner hopes this year is different.

“We lost to them in penalty kicks last year,” Wagoner said. “We played them to a 1-1 tie, then they got us on penalties. It’s a familiar first round matchup. We’re looking forward to the challenge. I think we have a good group heading into the game.”

Benjamin Russell isn’t the typical No. 2 seed. The Wildcats went 3-1 in area play, tied with area champion Wetumpka. But after the two teams split their regular season contests, Benjamin Russell lost the tie-breaker and was named the 2 seed.

The Wildcats are playing pretty good soccer for a team traveling.

Benjamin Russell has won five straight games entering the playoffs, and they have not allowed a goal over those five games. Their last loss came on March 19 to Pell City. Since

then, they’ve beaten Shelby County (11-0), Wetumpka (1-0), Russell County (8-0), Stanhope Elmore (5-0) and Lincoln (1-0).

In three of those games, Benjamin Russell’s defense didn’t even allow a shot on goal.

“This is what this time of the year is about,” Wagoner said. “You want to get your team to peak at the right time and hopefully we’re doing that. I feel that we’re on a good path.

We’re confident and we’re playing in the system that we’ve laid out. Things are going the way they should. We haven’t conceded a goal in the past five games and outscored our opponents 26-0 during those games. We’re going in the right direction, we just have to continue that momentum.”

Helena has the perfect test for Benjamin Russell’s defense on Friday night.

Senior duo Riley Kate Hulsey and Bailee Washington have paced the Huskies’ offense, scoring a combined 60 goals in their 22 games played. Hulsey has 32 goals and 10 assists on 67 shots, while Washington has 28 goals and 16 assists on 51 shots.

They’ve scored 60 of the team’s 88 goals this year, and are the only two players on the team with double-digit goals.

“I’ve watched a little bit of film and with talking with some other coaches, Riley was one of the main players that jumped out at me on the film,” Wagoner said. “I’m confident that our gameplay will hopefully keep her at bay. We just have to execute. Great players are going to step up at great moments, we just want to limit her chances and play within our system. We know how we want to defend.”

ANDY ANDERS | THE RECORD

Good Bo or Bad Bo at Oregon?

B

o Nix grew up like a lot of kids in this state playing football and dreaming of one day becoming the quarterback at Auburn University. He combined his considerable talent with an enormous amount of hard work and achieved his goal starting as a true freshman on the Plains in 2019. For myriad reasons in and out of his control, Nix was never able to lead the Tigers to an SEC title and ultimately decided to transfer to Oregon for his senior year.

The Ducks wrapped up their spring practice over the weekend culminating in a scrimmage in which Nix had a very productive day. He was 8 of 15 passing for 230 yards and 3 TDs. He also threw one interception.

Considering one of Bo Nix’s

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist most impressive attributes is his athleticism which is negated in a no-contact scrimmage, he looks to be fitting in quite well in Eugene. I fully expect him to be the starting QB and I sincerely hope he leads the Quack Attack to places never achieved while at Auburn.

There are a lot of reasons for Oregon fans to be optimistic.

Nix has his faults of course, but laziness isn’t one of them.

He will work as hard or harder than anyone on the team to put them in the best position to

win games. He will undoubtedly know the playbook from cover to cover and he brings an innate ability to improvise using his athleticism to turn a negative play into a positive play. The competition on a weekly basis won’t be near as daunting as well. Nix had to face six defenses ranked in the Top 50 last year at Auburn. That number is typical even though it doesn’t include LSU, who normally fields a good defense. In contrast, Oregon only played four games last year against Top 50 defenses. It’s not exactly apples to apples either. The SEC teams had a combined record of 58-23.

Arizona, Washington, California and Utah had a combined record of 27-24. Other than an inexplicable loss on the road to a bad

Stanford team, the Ducks rolled through their schedule in 2021 until they met Utah. The Utes hammered Oregon in the regular season by 31 points and again in the Pac 12 championship game by 28 points. Utah is one of the few teams out West that plays with a hard-nosed physical attitude. Bo saw that every week in the SEC and brings a wealth of experience to the position.

Again, there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic that Bo Nix will be successful at Oregon.

However, there are also plenty of questions and attributes he must improve upon to secure a better outcome. He threw for 230 yards on Saturday but was only 8 of 15 passing. I’m the first person to usually dismiss “spring game” statistics, but this

is simply who Bo Nix is and has always been. Accuracy has always been an issue with a career completion percentage of less than 60 percent. I wouldn’t expect a drastic difference, but three or four more completions a game could make a big difference. Somewhat surprisingly, general leadership is the other biggest factor that needs some improvement. Nix had a bad habit of wearing his heart on his sleeve. There’s nothing wrong with showing motion, but there’s a significant difference in good and bad body language. The Ducks have a new HC in former Georgia DC Dan Lanning and open the season on September 3 against Georgia in Atlanta. I wish them the best of luck.

Just hours after the City of Wetumpka had locks changed out on the fields teams from the Wetumpka Youth Baseball and Softball League play on, players, parents and league officials found themselves protesting the decision at city hall.

After an hour and a half meeting of the league’s board and Wetumpka city attorney Justin Edwards came to a decision. Edwards walked out with the board and announced the plan.

“Guys, we have come to a mutual agreement,” Edwards told the parents and players gathered outside. “We are going to play ball.”

The short announcement was met with cheers by everyone.

Before the announcement, players and parents were concerned their season was being cut short just as 121 teams of the six city USAAA region were about to start a tournament Monday.

The Wetumpka City Council held a special called meeting Friday where the agenda said it was set to take up potential litigation about agreements. It was a meeting where the council

Parents and players of the Wetumpka Youth Baseball and Softball League gathered outside of the Wetumpka City Hall as discussions about the city’s lockout of fields was underway Sunday.

voted to close the fields until an agreement could be worked out. An hour and half after the council meeting started, the league received an email stating the fields on the Coosa River Parkway would be locked.

The message set a firestorm into motion. Many parents took to social media and the city too.

Soon the emergency Sunday afternoon meeting was set and plans of a protest at city hall came about.

“There are [two] scheduled protests against the City of Wetumpka pertaining to the youth baseball and softball complex,” Volunteer coach Carl Grier wrote in an Elmore County Facebook page. “The second

protest, if nothing comes of the meeting [Sunday], is tomorrow at the youth league complex…

Almost all teams that are supposed to play Monday and Tuesday at the complex, will be out there in full uniform, ready to play and protest if we can’t get in.”

Before the meeting started, youth, parents and supporters gathered at city hall.

As the meeting started, some players took to the lawn to toss a ball around.

“It’s not fair,” 10-yearold Eason Clark said. “I can’t believe they are closing down the fields.”

Chaise Crownover, 10, missed last season due to an injury. He too joined the protests.

“I just want to play,” Crownover said.

Players soon began to peer through windows of city hall just feet away from the meeting.

Soon chants of “Let us play” came from the children in the ball uniforms. League officials came out to quiet the crowd four times saying they couldn’t hear the conversation inside.

The protest went to the sidewalk in front of city hall.

Players shouting “Let us Play” and holding signs garnering waves and the blaring of horns from those driving by.

Grier encouraged the

children to back up, but did say their voices would continue to be heard.

“I thank every person for coming out here today,” Grier said. “We are going to continue to be out here. We are going to continue to be loud. Our voices will be heard. They will not be locking our children out.”

Arguments played out on social media over the weekend and pointed out the city readily handed off the league to volunteers several years ago as it was losing money. Some argued the city wanted it back because it was turning a profit thanks to the work of the volunteers.

The City of Wetumpka responded on its Facebook stating it did not want the league’s money but if there were excess funds, they should go toward the ballfields.

The city’s post said it had been working for months to reach an agreement with the league.

The Friday notice said the city wouldn’t open the fields again until it had signed agreements, financial disclosures including bank statements, and monthly treasury reports for the last 24 months.

Details of Sunday’s mutual agreement are unknown. The next meeting of the Wetumpka City Council is scheduled for Monday, May 2.

Grier and others questioned the timing of the lockout as the season was still under way.

“I don’t care who’s at fault over this,” Grier said. “The board and city council can hash this out at the end of the season when kids are not playing. They are taking these kids and punishing them. It’s not fair.”

Following Sunday’s announcement everyone was just happy the kids will be able to return to the fields.

“I get to coach my son again,” Grier said. “He gets to play a game he and many others love.”

Alex City Schools child nutrition director speaks to Kiwanis

By KAITLIN FLEMING Managing Editor The members of the Alexander City chapter of Kiwanis Club were treated last week to a passionate presentation on the state of the Alexander City Schools nutrition program.

Guest speaker and director of the child nutrition program for Alexander City Schools Donette Worthy told club members about the program’s plans moving forward.

“This is the first time for a long time the school system will have its own program. This is a contracted school system; it is the only one in the state.

So, right now, Southern Food Service has the contract. They will finish out through May 31, then after that we will fully take over. So, what I’m doing right now is just kind of going in and starting to build a team.

We’re building a program pretty much from scratch. Because we’re literally going to scratch what was done and bring in new things. So, I’m super excited about it.”

Worthy, who was previously at Tuscaloosa County Schools system, was hired as director of the nutrition program recently and started working March 1.

Now, she is working with the school board and school leaders to implement some changes she believes will benefit students.

One of those changes is getting students back into the cafeteria for mealtime.

“They’re still eating breakfast and lunch in their classrooms,” said Worthy. “That’s changing.

All school meals will be back in the cafeteria. Kids need that break from the classroom and to be able to socialize.”

The goal is to have students back in the cafeteria for meals for the new school year starting in August. Worthy pointed

out that for some students this will be their first time eating in a cafeteria environment. The move to classroom mealtimes started during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to limit contact between students.

Now, kindergarten, first and second graders will have to learn the rules of the land of the cafeteria.

Worthy took various questions from the members in attendance; questions about quality of food, what food options are available and mealtime routines in place.

“There’s been, I think, just a lot of complaints throughout the years about the food that is offered, or the quality, things of that nature,” said Worthy. “The company that is here [Southern Food Service] is doing the best they can, but the school system just really thought that it was time to have their own in-house team, their own director, who can come in and really revamp the program. That’s the challenge that I have.”

“Some things that I’m really looking forward to doing is bringing in new recipes for the kids and getting the kids involved,” said Worthy.

Worthy works with multiple manufacturing companies, like Kellogg’s, to produce products for school students that meet the federal nutrition guidelines. Just last week she sat on an advisory committee for Kellogg’s which was able to allow students to do taste-testing of new products.

“We were one of the first school systems in the nation to try it,” said Worthy. “We took it out to the kids and got customer feedback, because our kids are the customers. The menus that we build will be geared toward them [kids] specifically. We do have federal guidelines that we do have to meet, that’s the not so fun side of things I have to deal with. I have a lot of red tape, as

you can imagine.”

Despite the headaches involved with the restrictive federal nutrition guidelines, Worthy knows there are ways to build menus and cook foods that kids will like.

“A hungry child in a classroom is not going to be set up for success. A lot of the kids here in Alexander City do depend on what we do. They really do.”

Currently, every child can eat for free thanks to federal waivers enabled during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic relief. Those waivers may or may not be in place for next year, according to Worthy. The school system is still waiting to hear if those waivers will continue.

“Even before the waivers, Alexander City was about 72-75 percent free or reduced [meals],” said Worthy. “So, that’s a lot of kids that do rely on school food.

If it’s not good and they aren’t going to eat it, what good is it? That’s what we’re here to change.”

Worthy said she wants to really embrace a farm to school food program and that she’s already talked to the agriculture department at the high school to see if they can team up to provide fresh herbs and vegetables.

Apart from making sure students have access to a good, nutritious meal they’ll enjoy, Worthy is also passionate about getting into the classrooms and teaching students about healthy eating, nutrition and how a wellbalanced diet can benefit them no matter what they do in the future.

Worthy has some plans for the summer nutrition program, too. She hopes to be able to bring an idea she implemented in Tuscaloosa schools to Alexander City Schools — a meal bus.

Worthy says she saw the idea at a different school system in Alabama and jumped into action and got one together for Tuscaloosa kids. The bus was a retired bus for special needs students. It was retrofitted with coolers and a food warming station. The air conditioning system also needed some upgrades. Once the upgrades were completed, the bus received a colorfully designed wrap for the outside so students would recognize the food bus.

Worthy said the bus was a huge success and that the children in Tuscaloosa loved it.

She hopes to be able to get one started in Alexander City as soon as she can.

The Kiwanis Club offered to assist Worthy and the school system with making the idea come to fruition.

The Dadeville Record

LICENSE SYSTEM Continued from A1

Tuesday morning according to Tallapoosa County Probate Judge Talmadge East at both the Alexander City and Dadeville driver licenses offices after the departments began experiencing a glitch.

“It hasn’t worked the whole time we have been here. The issue is that we are able to get to the step where you have to sign your driver license, but none of our signature pads will work so we have not been able to renew any driver licenses today,” East said.

According to East, the glitch is pertaining to an issue with the department’s new signature pads, which allow citizens to both sign their driver licenses as well as process credit card transactions.

“The new software will not let us move forward until that pad is working so we are stuck right now and can’t do anything,” East said.

In response, East has been directing citizens to renew their driver’s licenses through the county’s website, but added that method has produced mixed results, with only some being able to complete the online process.

“I have heard from my Facebook page that some people have been

ing,” she said.

Mayor Jimmy Goodman agreed that the problem needed to be addressed and recalled that the last time the city council examined the issue, costs were among the biggest challenges.

Among the costs, the city would need to have a full-time veterinarian, animal control personnel and vehicles, and facilities to house stray animals. All together, Goodman estimated that the expenses

successful in renewing their driver’s license online since then so that is what we are telling people to do,” he said.

East added that the state is attempting to address the glitch, but is currently receiving a large volume of calls relating to the issue.

“I don’t know how many counties are affected, but when we call the Montgomery help-desk, they tell us that they will help us as soon as they can as they’re getting so many calls that they just can’t give us a date or time on when it will be fixed, but we hope we will get some help soon,” East said.

As of 3 p.m. Tuesday, East said the Dadeville system was operational. On Wednesday morning the Alexander City system for renewals was still down.

According to East, Lee County officials contacted his office notifying him that their system was not working either. East is unsure how many of Alabama’s 67 counties are having issues with the new system, but advised the public to give his office a call at 256-827-2019 before attempting to renew driver licenses at either county office for the next several days.

East added that he will give the public updates as they become available.

would range somewhere in the millions of dollars. According to Goodman, even the most cost-efficient solution would be around $300,000.

“This needs to be addressed and we just have to keep trying and see what we can come up with because a lot of citizens are complaining about stray dogs,” Goodman said.

Ultimately, Johnson added that her pritory in raising the issue is public safety and resident accountability.

“First and foremost, I want residents to feel safe. They have a right to feel safe and then I want people to take responsibility

police have a chance to bridge that gap. We have to bridge that gap and one way to go about that is through communication,” she said.

Silmon explained that one way to achieve that goal is exposing children to police in a positive environment and so they can recognize law enforcement as a public resource instead of something to fear.

In addition to fun and games, several Dadeville locals spoke and shared their support

for the initiative, including Camp Hill Mayor Messiah Williams-Cole, Alexander City Interim Superintendent Dr. Beverly Price and University of Southern Mississippi lineman Rod Crayton.

Williams-Cole stressed the importance of empathy and utilizing law enforcement to foster community investment rather than solely to punish criminality.

“It is easier to build strong children than repair broken men. We are here to ensure residents are safe, not necessarily just to catch criminals,” Williams-Cole said. “We also need to take steps to see someone as a human and ensure everyone has opportunities and success and make sure our officers and kids are the best they can be so we
